"C'mon, Jessica! We have to get down here fast. The storms approaching!" Syaoran shouted, trying to be heard over the strong winds.
"I'm trying! But me foot can't seem to find a landing!" Jessica yelled back frantically.
Syaoran watched worriedly as his fiancee tried to find a spot where she could put her foot down. It was then he knew that hey shouldn't have come mountain- climbing. Yelan had warned them that a storm was coming, but just one look at the clear blue sky outside, they had carried on with their plans to go mountain- climbing.
Finally, she found a tiny rock jutting out on the left and she put her left foot down tentatively. Just then, thunder boomed. Jessica gave a yelp of surprise and loosened her grip on the rock above her.
"NO!" Syaoran yelled. He watched in horror as Jessica plunged down. Her clear blue eyes were filled with fright as her mouth opened, forming a scream. Syaoran felt like he couldn't move. It was as though he was paralysed. He stood there, staring as Jessica's head hit the rocky ground below.
It was all his fault.
**^**^**^**^**^**^**
"I can't believe you talked me into this," Tomoyo grumbled, looking around her.
"Why not? It's fun!" Sakura grinned.
"I do NOT think that mountain- climbing is fun. You know, it's not too late to turn back," she said hopefully.
"Aww, c'mon! Let's just give it a try," Sakura laughed, literally dragging her best friend along with her.
"We're here for the mountain- climbing course," Sakura tapped on the nearest instructor.
He turned around, and Sakura gasped. He was handsome, with messy chestnut hair, and that amber eyes. Only thing was, he wasn't smiling, and his eyes were cold.
"Your names?"
"Sakura Kinomoto and Tomoyo Daidouji," Sakura offered when Tomoyo stared back sullenly at her.
"Kinomoto, right?" he glanced up at her. "You're under me. Daidouji, you're with Eriol Hiiragizawa, over there," he pointed to a man with navy blue eyes.
"What? I thought we were going to learn together," Tomoyo said accusingly at Sakura.
Sakura opened her mouth to reply, but that amber- eyed man spoke up first. "You're arranged in alphabetical orders. If you insist on being a three- year old, then I don't think this course suits you," he said slowly, as though talking to a three- year old.
"I_am_not_a_three_year_old! I'll breeze through this course, I tell you!" Tomoyo gritted her teeth and stomped over the blue- eyed man.
"So, are we ready to start this training? Or do you want to go join your friend over there?" her instructor smirked.
Sakura fumed. "I'm ready anytime. And if you hadn't realised it yet, you have not introduced yourself. So, I assume I can call you Mr I- think- I'm- the- coolest," she said haughtily.
"Li Syaoran,." He replied in a clipped tone, and turned his back to her, but not before Sakura saw a hint of smile on his lips.
**^**^**^**^**^**^**
"I'm Tomoyo Daidouji, here for the training course," Tomoyo introduced herself.
"Eriol Hiiragizawa," the man smiled warmly at her. "Did you get the cold treatment from Li Syaoran over there?" he nodded his head to where Sakura and that rude man was.
"Don't remind me," Tomoyo said simply.
"Don't be too hard on him. I know it's not my place to say this, but he lost his fiancee a couple of years ago. She fell to her death while they were mountain- climbing. Syaoran quit his job as the manager of a company just to train people at mountain- climbing. He doesn't want the same incident to repeat again," Eriol explained sadly.
"Oh, gosh," Tomoyo whispered.
"Yeah, sad, isn't it? Now, enough about this talk! Let's start the training, shall we?" Eriol grinned as he pulled out a bunch of gear.
Tomoyo groaned. This was going to be SO fun...
**^**^**^**^**^**^**
"You'll be having the lesson with Heather. She's been training for half a year, so she might be able to help you at certain areas," Syaoran said. He turned to ask Sakura to put up her gear but she was already fastening the ropes around her.
"You're fast," he looked at her warily.
"Nope, you're slow," Sakura shot back.
"Alright, let's start. This is just the basic rock- climbing. You'll have to start it off with easy tasks until you're ready for mountain- climbing," Syaoran said as he pointed out the two- storey tall plastic rock piece in front of her.
"Okay, so, what do I do now?" Sakura asked.
"Just find a spot where you'll feel comfortable in putting your left foot down, then use both hands to find any two places and hoist your right leg up," Syaoran instructed.
Sakura looked at the colour- coded hand grips.
"The yellow ones are the best positions for beginners. Heather's up to the blue one, where the positions are more complicated. If you're comfortable with the yellow ones, you can try the green ones," Syaoran advised.
"I'll skip the yellow ones first," Sakura declared, as she stepped onto the green pieces of rock.
Syaoran watched her intentively. She was doing pretty well for a beginner, until he saw her changed rock colour halfway through. She switched her right hand to a red- coloured rock on her far right.Then, she hoist her right foot up. But she made a wrong move. The left rock was too far for her, and she slipped.
Syaoran felt the same fear of watching someone plunge again. Sakura gace a shout of surprise and released her grip. Thankfully, there was netting below in case anyone fell.
"Well, that was fun," Sakura laughed.
"It's not supposed to be fun! If there wasn't any netting, you could have been killed!" Syaoran shouted and stomped away.
Sakura stared after him. What was wrong with him?
**^**^**^**^**^**^**
So, that's the first chapter! Good? Bad? Review and tell me what you think! ^-^;;
