Chapter 15- The Cherry Blossom and The Little Wolf
Sakura appeared after Syaoran popped his head in to tell Fire and Earth that they were going to be going on stage in five minutes.
Fire looked over at Sakura "There you are we were wondering where you were, is everything alright?"
"I'm fine are you two ready to perform?"
Both Earth and Fire looked at each other with shock and then they both grinned and smiled out towards the group of smelly drunk men. Sakura walked to the edge of the stage as the curtain opened and smiled at everyone.
"Hello boys, are you all feeling good tonight?"
"YA!" All men yelled in unison.
"Good, well are you ready for a good show…" slowly Sakura walked around the stage and started to sing, it was a slow and seductive melody and all the while Syaoran couldn't take his eyes off the stage. Van looked to him and then back to the stage almost as shocked as Syaoran but for a different reason, he was looking at Earth, he saw she still wore her gloves, he still wondered why she never took them off. But he still just couldn't get over what she was wearing it showed every curve of her body, the outfit clung and moulded itself to her skin as if it was apart of her. Then he heard the melody of the music changed and it wasn't slow and seductive anymore it was fast and sexy.
All Sakura could think was / Dear God what am I doing? Everyone is staring at me and I can't believe what I'm wearing under this coat \ Sakura continued to sing smiling brightly at everyone, then suddenly she took off the jacket she was wearing to cover her outfit, it was deep color of green,dress, the material looked like silk it clung and hung perfectly at the same time and looked nothing like what Earth and Fire were wearing it was even a little more revealing in the neckline then Firey's outfit. Sakura looked over the crowed as they cheered and moved closer to get a better look, she spotted him and their eyes connected at that moment, she saw it then in his eyes a desire but also something else a fear.
Fire and Earth were talking about Sakura as Earth rubbed her feet
"Oh man my feet are killing me, but can you believe what Sakura was wearing, I bet Syaoran had a happy little friend"
"Probably, but he also was probably disappointed in her I mean…remember the other night when he yelled at her"
"Ya but that was harsher then harsh" Earth continued to rub her feet while Fire talked.
"Ya…so did you see Van and the way he was looking at you I swear if he wasn't a knight he would have been up there humping you on stage" Earth sent her a death glare and was tempted to stick her feet in her face but decided against because she's probably end up without a foot.
Sakura sat with Water and Dark while they all talked and listened only when her mind would let her.
"Sakura…Sakura are you alright you look like sad wittle tinkle winkle"
"Huh, oh ya I'm fine Watery"
"You know you can call me Shannon if you like, I'm pretty sure you can call all the elements by our human names"
" Really, thanks Shannon that makes me feel much better but it's been awhile can you remind me of all the names"
"Sure, ok there's me Shanny-wanny, and Power that's Heather1, and Windy who is Heather2, then Dark who I've named Sandy, hmm oh ya then there's Fire who is Cerrdy-wordy, and then Earth who is Sara-wara, and then Thunder who seems to like the name Phily-willy teehee willy that sounds funny."
"Wow, ok well thanks…well I'm tired I'm going to go to bed goodnight everyone" Sakura waved and headed in the direction of her sleeping quarters.
Syaoran knew he needed to talk to her, but he didn't know where and how to begin, he wanted to let her know how he really felt about her and how much he cared for her but the words were stuck somewhere in his throat.
"Sakura, may I speak with you?"
"What, oh well if you're going to yell and complain about earlier I'm really tired so…"
"No, no it's not about that it's about something else, something important"
"Oh well ok, did you want to talk down here or upstairs?"
"Upstairs I guess" Sakura nodded and even though she felt her heart begin to do summer salts she made sure she showed nothing on her face. They walked up the stairs in silence both letting their minds wander in thoughts, Syaoran opened the door and allowed Sakura to enter first then he followed and as Sakura sat he slowly closed the door still unsure how to start the conversation.
"Well…um…Sakura I'm…look I know I was…I mean I shouldn't have" Syaoran sighed and combed his fingers through his hair took a deep breath then moved to sit near her.
"Alright, Sakura I shouldn't have said what I did I'm sorry I just don't want to see you get hurt again, you're not weak in some ways your stronger than me and I'm sorry I said what I did" He looked into her eyes and then away unable to take her emerald green eyes it felt, to him when she did that, as if she was staring deep into his soul.
"Oh Syaoran, I know but I can't just stand around and watch as everything and everyone I love and care about dies or gets hurt" Sakura touched her hand to his face and made him face her they looked deep into each others eyes and then slowly their faces moved closer together. Sakura could feel every nerve tingling as she inched closer to him, Syaoran didn't know what was coming over him he was looking into her eyes one minute and the next all he could think about was kissing her. As they inched closer and were a breath away from each other a BOOOOOOOOOOOM! was heard outside the window, the sounds had them both looking out the window to find a hole on the wall.
"Heather2! Damn it I thought I said to not let her sleep near the wall," yelled Jack.
"Yes we did but she fell asleep there and no one was willing to make her move, oh man Heather2 you blew quite a nice hole here" Sara stood by the hole shaking her head.
"AWWW, You ruined my wonderful dream, I mean I was dreaming of alcohol and sex and lots of slipperynees teehee" Heather1 giggled as she stretched.
"……" Shannon burst out in tears for no real reason.
"Dammit! Elements, meet me in the main foyer in five minutes or else" Syaoran then turned to Sakura smiled lightly and then took her hand and kissed it.
"Sorry Sakura, duty calls" Sakura still in shock only nodded her head and with that he left the room and quietly closed the door. Sakura just stared where Syaoran was standing a moment ago and then she looked around the room and crawled into bed slowly only wishing that the elements hadn't interrupted them.
Earth: Well that's all for now I would like to say that I do not own or claim to own the characters known as Sakura, Syaoran, Van or even the elements. I also do not own the story line or the plot of this story I'm just continuing where Cerrdiwen left off, if you would like to comment or read the first 14 chapters go to Cerrdy, as she is the real owner of this story. But ya I know it's different but I tried to go with what I remember when talking about it with Cerrdy but ya just try and bear with me my styles a little different from hers. Well ya till later bye!
