Chapter 11: The past and the present part 1

(PAST)In the hospital...

The woman laid in the white filled room in the white filled bed, looking lifeless. four walls surrounded her. Needles being poked in her skin from arm to arm. From the time she had been in the hospital she hasn't had any visitors.

A person in a white coat entered the room, as the person began to come closer to the bed the woman began to stir. Her eyes slowly opened adapting to the semi-dim light. "You're finally awake..." said the person in the white coat. The patient looked at the doctor with confused and sad eyes. She asked, "Where am I? How did I get here? Who are you? Who am I?"

The doctor looked at her and said "Hold on now... I can only answer you questions one at a time." The doctor looked at her and said "Are you sure you don't know who you are?"

The patient gave a slight nod. "How is that possible, you head didn't bang on anything there was no physical damage on you...."said the doctor. The doctor looked at her. If not physical, then it must be emotional damage that could have caused this. Thought the doctor.

"Well I'll start with some of the easy questions, you are in the hospital and of course I am a doctor.-" said the doctor.

"Wait! why am I here!?" interrupted the patient looking at the doctor, forgetting to notice that the doctor didn't tell her, her name. The doctor looked way too young to be a doctor. But she shrugged it off. That didn't really matter.

The doctor looked at her and said " I am not quite sure if the girl that brought you in is a friend of yours or not. All she told us was that you grew unconscious as she saw you on the stairs inside-"

"How is that possible.. I don't think I was ever near any stairs.." said the patient.

"Well the person who brought you in said so." said the doctor.

"Who was this person? What did girl look like?" asked the patient.

"This girl had long black hair, and very, very dark black eyes. She seemed to know since she found you inside your house." said the doctor.

"Oh.." was all she could say. After a bit of silence she said "So.. um.. did I have any visitors while I was here? When am I getting out of here? How long have I been in here unconscious?"

The doctor gave a slight laugh and said "hold on I can's answer that many questions at once. Well first of all you have been here about a week, week and a half. And no during your time here, you haven't had any visitors....Well none that I have any knowledge of."

The doctor gave one last look over at the machines and made marks on her clipboard. He started to make her way to the door until the patient stopped her.

"STOP!!!!" The doctor turned around and looked at the patient holding her stomach. The patient looked at the doctor and said "Where's my baby!?!?!?"

*******************

Hoji sat patiently waiting for his flight to be announced. Looking at all the people coming and going his way. Some where children, single people, couples, some saying good bye to their loved ones. One of the people he was looking at caught his eye. There was a couple and the girl was going on a trip. Who knows how long their going to be apart but all he knew was that they really loved each other and nothing would ever break them apart. Hoji sighed If I really love my girlfriend after all we've been through should I really leave her over a silly thing. It was just a meeting she had to attend to.... but still they kissed. That kissed could have meant something. That meaning could mean that she doesn't really love me as much as she says she does. Can a kiss mean nothing to a person???

"Flight 214. I repeat flight 214 is ready to board passengers. Will all first class passengers board the plane. I repeat flight 214 is ready to board. Will all first class passengers board the plane." announced the intercom.

Hoji stood up and gathered his belongings and headed to the line that was now forming. Slowly getting into his seat. He was leaving his home, his life, his family, and most of all he was leaving his most precious loved one. Am I doing the right thing? She kissed the guy, so she would be able to get over me. Thought Hoji. As the plane started to take off into air. Hoji looked at his window as Tomoeda started to get smaller and smaller.

I hope my family receives my letters and understand why I left. I sure am going to miss her... Was the last thing Hoji thought as he turned away from the window.

**********************

A girl at the age of eighteen with long black hair and red streaks walked into to her home and dropped her keys onto the table. As she walked up the stairs, two envelopes caught her deep black eyes. One of them had her name on it the other one had her sisterly-like friend. She looked puzzled.. What is this all about??? She thought. It looks like Hoji's handwriting but why would he write to me? Did he just go crazy or something. She took the envelope with her name on it and left the other one all one in it's place. She slumped down on her couch, starring at it still unopened. After minutes of debating whether she should open it o not. She chose to open it, wondering if it was good or bad news.

She scanned the letter and was confused, what did it all mean, it didn't make any sense. Reading the letter again making sure she read what he was saying and if it was correct. The letter said this:

To my beloved sister,

You might be wondering why I am writing to you? Well what ever is coming from this letter I hope that you will forgive me and everyone else in time. . . This past couple months hasn't been how you say heaven like I've told you about when I was with her. I haven't been all too happy lately and this sadness of mine shouldn't affect anyone else. Now I wonder as I write this letter if I am doing the right thing. . .

She stopped right there. The first pat of the letter didn't really make sense at all. What does this have to do with them, us, and me?? thought Hoji's sister. So she kept reading on.

The reason why I am writing to you is because I could not take what is now happening to my future and I will not let it ruin anyone else's life. I should keep the damages to a minimum, though you may not agree with me. So whatever you do don't take the anger that you might have on anyone, you got that? Like I said before, things haven't gone to well for me and I couldn't take what was happening so I left Tomoeda to start a new life and forget about that terrible things that happened here. When you get this letter I am probably already on plane going somewhere that I too don't know. That way when you find out about all this you wouldn't run up to me and change my mind like you normally do. I know you must be really mad right now but I am really sorry for doing this to you. You know I only care about your best interest and I think this it. And if in a couple or more years things have been going well for me I might just maybe, come back when things don't seem to be hurtful as they do right now. I'll write to you every now and then just so you know I'm doing fine. So remember what I keep telling you about life: Remember to keep on being bright and bring joy to others for it will bring joy to you, No matter what happens in life whether it's good or bad.

You brought joy to people during good times and your happy about it. Now here is the bad times don't let this drive you to unhappiness. Keep on smiling and don't ever, EVER forget that the best thing in life is to look forward to the future, and making people smile along the way.

Love Always Your Brother,

Hoji.

Hoji's sister looked at the letter one last time and a tears started to stream down one by one. It was true, it was no mistake he was really gone. Her brother the one that she looked up to, depended on whenever she had her problems. Now that she's gone she has no one to turn to. His girlfriend or so called "fiance" must have been the source of all the bad things happening. It was her that made him leave right? But that was not possible she was really nice and perfect or so she seemed. But is can't be, something else had to be the source of all this. She just had to find out why. She wiped her tears and stood up fixing herself. She went back, and up the stairs she didn't really feel like being herself today.

She slumped down on her bed, grabbing her pillows today was really not her day.

***********Hospital (couple of days later)********

Today was the day she was getting out of the hospital, the day she has been waiting for ever since she woke up. During those days no one came to visit her as she was hoping. Hoping for all these questions that she had inside her to be answered. She asked the doctors but they barely gave anything to even consider being an answer. The only thing she knew about her was here address and where she worked though she forgot what she does in that area.

She took the things that she needed or could take from the hospital and headed towards the exit of the hospital. She called a cab and waited by a nearby bench.

"Excuse me miss, may I sit here?" said a voice.

Sakura looked up at the gentleman and smiled while nodding her head. The man took a seat next to her and started a conversation.

"So your visiting someone at the hospital?" asked the man.

"Actually no, I just came out of it." replied the woman.

"Oh. What where you in there for?" asked the man.

"I rather not say it's actually kind of a blur on how I even got there." smiled the woman. Silence filled the place for a second or two until the man said "I know this might seem a little awkward and everything but you seem like a really nice person and I was well....wondering...if.."

"If what, go on you can say it." said the woman.

"Well I was wondering.... if you would like...would like to have dinner with me sometime.. just to get to know each other nothing else!" said the man.

She thought about it for a moment, by that time her cab came by and she got up and headed towards the cab. The man just stood there looking at her waiting if she would give him an answer or not. The woman stopped and turned around with a smile on her face and said "Yes, that would seem very nice."

The man smiled and said "Well how about tomorrow night? We can meet back here at 7?"

The lady go into the cab and yelled "Okay I'll meet you here tomorrow!" And the cab drove off leaving a very happy man.

********The woman in the cab********

The woman got out of the cab and looked at the house that she was living in. The only thing that she could think of was "wow." Do I really live here? For someone as single as me I really don't need a place this big. Thought the lady.

She entered through the house and started her exploration. The house seemed to be humble but in a different way like a family kind of feeling. A family that would seem to have children. But she didn't think she would have any of that since she didn't even have a husband. She searched every single room that had a door in it. When she came upon her room she was hoping to find something that will give a clue to questions she had. But everything that was in her room didn't give her anything that helped her. She laid on her bed, for someone who was just out of the hospital for only two hours she was really tired. Her eyes just looked at the ceiling until the darkness slowly covered her eyes.

********Back to the present/with Tomoyo and Eriol*****

Tomoyo looked out the window from her house, just waiting to see Sakura's car pull into the driveway. As the car did so Tomoyo got out of her house and went over towards Sakura. "Hey Sakura, how you doing?" smiled Tomoyo.

"Not too well, so very stressed about all of this. I really need a break." replied Sakura not noticing this tiny bit of smile forming on Tomoyo's face.

"Well now that you mention taking a break from all of this how would you like to come with me to the mountains for several days it will be just us girls?" asked Tomoyo putting her hands behind her back.

"Are you sure just us girls? What about Eriol? And the wedding that still needs to be plan? Or the fact that-" ranted Sakura. But Tomoyo interrupted her "Sakura the whole point to this is to take a break from the world and to relax everyone needs it, and that's what I told Eriol and he said he was fine with it. Xie Xie can understand AND give you a break just several days it's not like the wedding is tomorrow. And yes it's just us girls. We'll leave tomorrow morning." Toned Tomoyo again putting her hands behind her little back.

********Syaoran*******

This was surely not his best days, he was way behind work and Syaoran was surely not in the mood for any of it. Clenching his fist, there was this knock at his door. Who the hell in their right mind would dare disturb me at this freaking moment. Thought Syaoran. A knock was sounded again but Syaoran just ignored it as if a fly was just passing by. The knock came in once more then in that instant Xie Xie came into the view looking at Syaoran, who as well looked at the door.

"Why didn't you say something when I was knocking?" asked Xie Xie.

"I'm just busy with a lot of work that's all." replied Syaoran.

"Don't do work it isn't all that important, besides I hate seeing you so angry and tense." pouted Xie Xie. As she walked over to Syaoran and started to massage his shoulders.

"Xie Xie....this isn't really the best time. I really have a whole lot of work to do. Please not now.." growled Syaoran.

"WHY! If not now then when Syaoran. You have been cooped up here all day. And a couple of days before that. This never used to happen before. What is wrong you know you can talk to me. I'll do anything to help you that is what a future wife would do." said Xie Xie.

Yeah right. What happened along the way was that I fell in love with someone else. If you really wanted to help you could call of this wedding off and leave me the hell alone. Oh how much he wanted to say that but instead "No I can handle this. Just leave me alone for awhile till I get things back on track with all the work I still have left to do. Alright?" replied Syaoran.

"Yeah...Sure... I understand.. Well just call me when your done okay? I know a call wouldn't be too much for you. Bye." Said Xie Xie as she gave Syaoran a kiss on the cheek and headed out the door.

*****(past)The woman in the house (the next day)****

The woman checked herself in the mirror. She wore a blue dress, while her hair was up in a French sized bun. She was soo excited with her date tonight. She was satisfied that she actually had a dress that was formal but yet out going. So wherever her date was taking her she would fit in perfectly.

While waiting for the cab on the front of her porch, her eyes looked clearly at the stars shining and the crescent moon gleaming.

******Hoji's sister****

"What's wrong?" asked the boyfriend of Hoji's little sister, over the phone. He was one of the perfect boyfriends you would ever want in your life. He and Hoji's sister were having a long distance relationship. They both met each other at the airport he was waiting for his flight back home and Hoji's sister was getting a vacation. For some coincidence they sat together on flight and hit it of pretty well. She spent her whole vacation with him.

"There's a lot of things that is going wrong." replied Hoji's sister. "Nothing and none is ever happy anymore."

"Well there might be something that would cheer you up.." said the boyfriend.

"Really what? Because I need some serious cheering up over here on the other end."

"Well.." started her boyfriend "There is a good chance that I might live there with you."

Hoji's sister screamed. "Are you serious?!?!!? Your actually gonna live here. In the same city........ With me?"

"Hold on now... I said I might. I have to get things cleared here and I have to find a place there."

"You don't have to find a place you could live with me. I wouldn't mind." replied Hoji's sister.

"I can't do that." said her boyufriend.

"And why not?" said the girl as her voice started to rise.

"Because I can't share a place that's only fit for two people living in it. If it was just you living there then yes, I would accept the offer but you have a room mate already and I don't think there will be room for me there. Besides I don't think your roommate will be comfortable." explained the boyfriend.

"But I don't want you to live with people you don't know. There are so much reason why I don't want you to live with strangers." pouted the girl.

"What reasons could that be?" asked the boyfriend.

"Well let's say you found a place and the person that your sharing it with is a woman. I don't like that kind of thing. She might steal you away from me and-"

"Do you love me?" asked the boyfriend.

"Is that a trick question?" asked Hoji's sister.

"No. Just answer the question."

"Yes I do love you. I love you more than anything." answered the woman on the other end of the phone.

"Do you trust me." asked the boyfriend.

"I trust you with all my heart and soul." replied the girlfriend.

"So then there is nothing to worry about. I no we, we will be fine so don't worry about it. Alright?" said the boyfriend.

"Oh Alright, but call a little later please?" said the girlfriend.

"I promise, I have to go now bye."

********(present)Syaoran******

Syaoran went back to work the moment Xie Xie left. But a couple minutes later a knock came to the door. Why the hell does everyone want from me today!! Shit.

"DON'T BOTHER ME I'M BUSY RIGHT NOW!" Yelled Syaoran. Everyone in the building jumped when they heard his voice. But the person still knocked on the door. Syaoran tried to ignore it but the knocking wouldn't stop.

Syaoran got out of his chair raging towards the door. When he opened the door his face turned red seeing none other than Eriol.

"What the hell do you want Eriol, can't you see that right now isn't the best time" growled Syaoran.

"I sort of figured that out, that's why I came here in the first place." replied Eriol.

"I don't have time for you or anyone right now" said Syaoran as he made his way back to his desk.

"Well that's too bad because you are going to make time. I am going to take you on vacation." smiled Eriol.

"No vacations, I'll pass that up I don't want to go anywhere with you and Tomoyo. Being the third wheel isn't a vacation." explained Syaoran.

"Syaoran, this isn't that kind of vacation. It's just going to be us guys forgetting about our troubles."

"Yeah right what kind of trouble do you have. You have a wife and a kid that's coming soon." responded Syaoran. Eriol laughed which made Syaoran glare at him. "What's so funny with what I just said?"

"It ain't easy being with Tomoyo when she's pregnant. The woman has mood swings for crying out loud. This to me is to get some peace and quiet and not having to worry about Tomoyo being mad at me for no reason." replied Eriol.

"So what's in it for me?" asked Syaoran.

"Easy you get a chance to breath after everything that has been happening lately. Besides by the way that your looking right now I could say you really need one."

"What about the work that I have to finish all this work." replied Syaoran.

"You actually behind work. I doubt that. Your just trying make up excuses to stay inside your office. So get packing right now cause were leaving the day after tomorrow." said Eriol as he shoved Syaoran out of his office.

*******(past)The woman who got out of the hospital******

She stood there at the bench waiting...waiting for the man she hopes will be her one true love. As she sat looking at the stars she heard a voice. "My you are looking lovely today." said the man that she had met earlier. She smiled and said "You don't look to bad yourself... So where are we going in this lovely evening?"

"Well I was just hoping that your hungry seeing as this date will only be for dinner." said the man. "Shall we go?" He asked holding out his hand. The woman took his hand and they began to walk around the streets.

********(present)Tomoyo and Sakura (next morning)*****

"We'll here we are! It looks so pretty, I'm glad Eriol planned this." said Tomoyo as she got out of the car.

"Excuse me?" asked Sakura. "Eriol planned this? What do you mean by that Tomoyo?"

"Well.. you.. see.. when I told Eriol that I needed a break from every thing that was going on, he suggested that I come up here. He told me that this is the best place to forget about all the troubles." replied Tomoyo. Sakura just nodded as she headed to the cabin.

"Since we are here Sakura, promise me one thing, just one thing." said Tomoyo.

"Sure, what is it?" asked Sakura.

"When we are up here promise me that you will forget everything that is happening right now. You'll forget about the troubles no matter what, You must also make sure to enjoy this vacation and whatever happens here you will not look at the past, this will be like your starting a new life. Promise me this Sakura?" asked Tomoyo.

"Tomoyo I just can't forget about what's going on-"

"Sakura! please for me?" begged Tomoyo.

Sakura sighed and said "fine I'll do it."

Tomoyo smiled and said "Now repeat what you just promised me, that will let me know that you will keep your promise."

"Fine. For the whole time we're here I will forget about everything, and start fresh and new." replied Sakura.

*********Past) After the date ****

"Thank you for a wonderful time." said the woman.

"no thank you. for giving me a chance." replied the man, walking her up to her house.

"You know during the whole time of this date, I've never caught your name." replied the woman.

"My name is Chen."

************TIME OUT!!!!!!!!!!!! OK now i will give you a lilo time to stop here.. NOW is any of this coming clear to some of you?!?!?! yes, no. WELL If you do figure it out then everything is out in the open on the past chapters.. there's not a lot of secrets in the dark or is there??!?!!?!? And if you still didn't figure it out I will say something at the end that could help you..... OKAY YOU CAN NOW READ THE STORY***********

******Eriol and Syaoran********

"Syaoran when we get there, try to be happy alright?" asked Eriol as he stopped at a red light.

"And why should I?" asked Syaoran.

"Because the place that we are going to is very relaxing and peaceful I just don't want you to ruin it, especially for me." explained Eriol as the lights turned green.

"Then you shouldn't have brought me here." grumped Syaoran.

"No I had to, it's my job as you friend to save you from all the tortures that you can't handle." replied Eriol. Syaoran just laughed, "I can handle anything. I don't need anyone's help."

"See now only people who say and do things that you do, is a cry for help." said Eriol. "Well now that we are on the subject of you, please try not to make anyone cry. Since just seeing that look on you face makes babies cry I don't know what I would do. So try to be happy and -"

"Alright you can stop from there. I know what your getting at." grumbled Syaoran.

"So when we get to the place do what I do it makes the vacation so much more enjoyable."

"Well what is it?" asked Syaoran.

"When we get there.. forget about every single problem right now and leave everything in the city, when we get there pretend that no worries at all. Now that i think about it sounds like starting a new life. You know that you are going to start brand new when we get to the place. Understand" explained Eriol.

"Are you serious?" asked Syaoran.

"Syaoran I'm dead serious."

"If it means that much to you Eriol whatever." responded Syaoran. For the rest of the way they drove in silence.

"Well here we are.." said Eriol. "We'll be staying at this cabin here. So what do you think?"

"I.. Hate...You. You brought me out to the cold. You know damn well that I hate the cold!!!" Yelled Syaoran.

"Well too bad we're here now and stop complaining it will only be for a little while. Besides you promised me your gonna start brand new." replied Eriol.

"I know what I promised even if I'm starting new, I could still hate the damn cold." growled Syaoran.

"Just shut up and let's go inside the cabin." replied Eriol as they headed to the cabin.

Sakura came out of the cabin and looked outside, but no one was there.. "Hmm.. that's weird." said Sakura.

"What's weird Sakura?" asked Tomoyo as she too went outside.

"I just thought I heard Syaoran yelling just a minute ago." replied Sakura.
