Fragmented
Memories pt 1—The beginning
By Ukyou
NOTE: This story was very much inspired by the story “I am the Cheese”.
----
I do not own Cardcaptor Sakura. It is owned by CLAMP and Kodanyasha
----
I pointed my Lazenboard at the creature. Yeah, it was definitly a Clow Card. I lifted up my sword, and threw one of my element cards at it. A whiff of smoke filled the area, as I ran in with my sword. Yet, then I turned my head from side to side. I finally looked up, when I saw the card jump on top of me….
-----
I found myself in a white room. I saw a man near me. He just smiled, as he lifted his small glasses to his nose. He wrote on a clipboard, as he finally talked to me.
START ONJ tape 1
B: Hello, my name is Grant, and I’ll be talking to you for a few days.
L: Where am I? Who am I?
B: We’ll jump into the conclusions later, now do you know what your name is?
L: No, I don’t…
B: Does the name Meilin Rei sound familiar to you?
L: No…
B: How about “Sakura Kinomoto”
L: For some reason, that name seems very familiar. As if I’ve known somebody like that.
B: Can you tell me who that name reminds you of?
---
Yeah, I remember someone like that. She used to be a friend, I think. Maybe she was an enemy? Maybe she was a girl I liked?
…but someone just comes to mind, just somebody. Someone with brown hair,or maybe black. I’m not sure.
---
Grant pulled out a few strange looking cards. One read the “Time” and another read the “Speed”.
B: Can you tell me what these cards are? Can you tell me if they bring up a thought at all?
L: No, not at all…
B: Here, take your medicine, it will help you think clearly.
L: Thank you…
B: Now, just think.
L: Why are you asking me these questions? Why am I here?
B: Now, now, just throw away these thought, and just think. Think of these cards. Think of Li Syaoran.
L: I don’t even know what you are talking about.
B: Now, now, it will come, and all in time.
L: I really am tired. Can I go home and rest.
B: Oh, I’m afraid we just can’t do that. Shall we suspend?
L: Why can’t I go home? Why am I here?
B: Let us suspend then.
END tape 1

I don’t remember much after what happened after the card landed on me. I remember seeing all black for a moment…

START ONJ tape 2
B: Now, did you have a good nights sleep?
L: Yeah.
B: You seem down, are you remembering anything?
L: No, I don’t think so…
B: Then, take the medicine. It will help.
L: What is this medicine anyway?
B: Its just something that will open the mind for you to see.
L: Who are you?
B: I’m just Grant. I’m just your Psychiatrist.
B: Now, let us look again.
Grant pulled outsome pictures. A small girl, of about 12-13 was in the picture. She had short brown hair, and wore two ribbons on the side of her head.
B: Does this person look familiar to you? She was a friend, I know that.
L: No, not at all. Yet she’s…she’s
B: Yes, speak up, just say it, and I’ll listen.
L: …she’s like a specter. Like somebody I know, but don’t know. Do you get what I’m saying?
B: Yes, I do, I understand thuroughly. Now, continue.
L: ..and this Sakura person, she doesn’t have, in any way any connections to the person in this photo.
B: That’s what you have to decide.
L: Look, I don’t know who you are, or what you want, but I really want to go home.
B: Do you even know where home is?
L: No, I don’t….
B: Well then, shall we continue?
---
I don’t know where I;m from, but somehow I do. I know that there are many Cherry Blossoms near the streets. That a girl lives across the road from one. Maybe even the girl in the picture…
---
L: How did I get here anyway?
B: Why, you just walked in.
L: Then, if I just walked in, then why are you questioning me?
B: Its because you wanted me to, deep inside.
L: …but I don’t remember coming inside here at all. Where am I from?
The patient picked up the photo
L: …and who is this???
B: Why, once again, I must say that you are certainly getting your memories back.
L: Wha…?
B: Now, we must not bring up the nonimportant memories, you need to remember the things that are important.
L: Yeah, whatever.
B: Oh my, its been at least 30 minutes.
L: Yeah…
B: Here’s your medicine. Now, we shall suspend then, okay?
L: Okay…
B: Suspend…

I remember running out of my house, and I saw Sakura Kinomoto standing there, in the snow. She was holding a small box. Just like the one I gave her just last month. She smiled, as she said “Merry Christmas”. I opened the box, and I found some mittens inside it. I put them on, as she laughed. They were way too big. Then, I just looked into those eyes. Those very pretty eyes, and I smiled again. I just wanted to hold her at that very moment…

Start ONJ tape 3
B: Welcome back.
L: Yeah..
B: Did you have any dreams last night?
L: Yeah…
B: Good then, I see we’re having some progress.
L: I guess.
B: Can you tell me what you dreamt about last night?
L: Well, I remember that it was snowing. Then, this girl came up to me. She said her name was “Sakura Kinomoto”.
B: Can you tell me how she looked like?
The patient picked up the photo from the previous session
L: Its her…
B: Yes, I see…
L: Why, is that important?
B: Of course it is. Now, you are finally getting your memories back. This is a good sign.
Grant picked up a pencil and wrote something under the picture. Li could only make out a few letters.
L: The name really sounds familiar…
Grant pulled out another photo
B: Now, does this person look familiar?
Funny enough, it was a picture of himself
B: Now, think of this person very hard. What did he do, and how?
L: I DON’T KNOW!!!!!!!
L: You’re driving me crazy! All you do is ask, ask, ask, and you don’t give me a chance to think or speak!
B: I’m sorry. Yet, I am very excited that you’re regaining your memory.
L: Yeah, whatever
B: You’re looking at those pictures very seriously, (Grant looks toward a ‘mirror’ and nods) what do they remind you of?
L: Sakura Kinomoto… (points at the picture of himself) …and Li Syaoran…
