Hello
Here I am with the sequel all you guys have been waiting for!
Disclaimers (first time doing one I always damn forget lol)- I don't own CCS… Clamp does. Nor do I own this song recited in this… Evanescence does…
Summary
Sakura still continues her singing, Syaoran leading the Li Clan. Now something threatens them both from the shadows Sakura once walked in. They need to be together to face this but how can they be when they lead to different lives?
Shit Summary… yeah…
Enjoy anyway…
Lights out, crowds cheering, one Amber eyed man gazing at the stage in midst of the swarm of people. Everyone was here to see one person… Sakura. Performing her latest song live for the first time ever. Smoke started to pour from over the stage when She began to sing but the lights didn't make any effect… yet.
--
Sakura stood on the stage quickly getting ready for singing. The group from her recording company were ready behind her. Smoke started to gather around Sakura's feet and pour off the stage. Due to the lights Sakura's fans couldn't see her. But she could see them quite clearly.
She nodded to the people behind her and the Keyboardist played a weird sounding tune on the Keyboard the spotlight shining on her leaving the rest of the stage a dark abyss. Then the guitarist joined in with the same tune the lights on the Keyboardist and the guitarist then the drums began and it all came together and Sakura started to sing but when the lights shined on her it was all in strobe lights until she was singing.
Hold on to me love,
you know I can't stay long
all I wanted to say was I love you and I'm not afraid…
can you hear me?
Can you feel me in your arms?
The crowds started to cheer wildly all jumping into the stage in time with the tune. Syaoran stood there motionless looking at the stage watching Sakura with hunger in his eyes.
She still doesn't know I'm here… Syaoran thought still staring at her.
Holding my last breath
safe inside myself
are all my thoughts of you
sweet raptured light it ends here tonight…
Sakura moved around to the far side of the stage and knelt down and held out her hand nearly everyone jumped to at least touch it. Then she stood back up walking along to the other side singing the next verse.
I'll miss the winter
a world of fragile things
look for me in the white forest
hiding in a hollow tree (come find me)
I know your near me
I can taste it in your tears…
During this verse her back in singer started to sing in the background making the song mysterious, as the singer couldn't be seen as the lights wasn't on her yet… (this is the bold and italic writing hehe)
holding my last breath
safe inside myself
are all my thoughts of you
sweet raptured light it ends here tonight…
Sakura when sang this moved to the center of the stage and strobe lights began to flash over everyone on the stage just in time for the bridge of the song.
Closing your eyes to disappear
you pray your dreams will leave you here
but still you wake and know the truth
no one's there…
say goodnight
don't be afraid
calling me calling me as you fade to black…
say goodnight
don't be afraid
calling me calling me as you fade to black…
holding my last breath
safe inside myself
are all my thoughts of you
sweet raptured light it ends here tonight… (fades out repeated over and over)
The crowds went wild and a huge applause erupted in the building. Sakura bowed and then left the stage from the right hand side and went back to her dressing room. She took her hair down from the hair style it was in and let it hang loose around her shoulders. She changed from her stage clothes and changed back into her everyday clothes, which was simple jeans and a top. She then left the room and left a certain way where her fans could gather around to meet her and get autographs etc. Soon as she exited the building the crowds were screaming and pictures were being took, as there were loads of flashes. She turned her head and caught a flash of messy chestnut brown hair and amber eyes.
Syaoran! She thought wildly. Syaoran and her had a life together after Xiefa took control of the Li Clan. Then one day Syaoran had to go back to China due to Yelan calling him. He never returned and the wedding didn't happen, but she still had her engagement ring. She didn't give up her singing either because it was her managers last wish before he died also. She hadn't seen him in... she lost track of how long it was it was that long. Then when she looked back it was gone like a trace and she thought it was her imagination. So she continued down the path to her limo signing people's diaries or some sort of paper. She then got in the limo and it took her back to where she lived which still hasn't changed.
Syaoran spotted Sakura looking at him and abruptly walked away. He wanted it to be a surprise and he still hadn't thought about telling her sorry he was for walking out of her life for God knows how long. Would she ever forgive him for doing it and not even calling her to tell her everything that went wrong? He left early and hid in the shadows near her limo on his own motorbike. When the limo took off he followed quickly. It stopped outside the exact place where she had lived where the first met. He drove around a different corner leading into a totally different street and parked in a spot on the side of the street. He ran and stopped at the corner and stood in the shadows and watched her enter the apartment. When she got in the lift to take her to her floor. He then not waiting ran up the stairs and just found her apartment before he even got up there. He quickly pulled out a clip from his pocket and began to pick the lock. He heard the lift doors open and then finally got the lock to spring open. He ran inside and then shut the door behind him and locked the door and ran for a hiding spot.
Sakura opened the lock and then walked through into her bedroom and collapsed on her bed from exhaustion. She just lay there and hugged her pillows for a short while relaxing for a while then got up and had a quick shower and changed into some loose trousers and a black vest top. She got a can of Irn Bru from the fridge and then went outside and stood on the balcony and walked up to the edge and leaned against the brick railing. Syaoran seeing her relax for a moment quickly looked around her apartment. He slipped into her room with quiet movements. He opened a draw and found a picture of him and her turned face down and the engagement ring he gave her two years ago roughly. He shut it again and then left the room and walked onto the balcony.
Sakura still having her ninja instincts felt there was someone coming up behind her. She turned fast and threw a punch in her intruder's direction. He caught it and grabbed her arm and twisted it behind her back. Syaoran put his head to her ear.
"Don't scream, Sakura. I'll let you go..." he whispered huskily. He let go of Sakura's arm and she moved forward sharply and turned around and her eyes widened.
"Wh- what are you doing here?"
"I'm sorry... I really am." Syaoran said hitting himself mentally. He was always a rotten apologiser, "Can we go inside where we can talk?"
"No. Talk out here." Sakura said walking to a table and chairs still located out on the balcony. She sat down but Syaoran didn't, "What happened then Syaoran? When you went back to China?"
"My mother called me. Xiefa was murdered and all my sisters were too immature to take over leader. Mother needed someone in charge and it couldn't be her. I did refuse but they wouldn't let me come back."
"How come your back now then?"
"I had to see you..." Syaoran answered.
"Don't get me wrong here, Syaoran. I am really glad to see you but... you cant expect me just to forgive you instantly, give you a kiss and make everything back to normal," Sakura explained, "And your not just here to see me..." Sensing something by the tone of his voice.
"No. I'm not," Syaoran said as a matter of fact.
"Well...?" Sakura hinted
"I can't tell you yet. I need to know for sure." Syaoran smirked.
"Usually I would argue if you said that..." Sakura said smiling, "But I can't be bothered..."
"I understand. Your performance was great by the way..."
"You were there?"
"Yeah. It was fantastic."
"Thanks..." Sakura said, "I thought I noticed you when I was walking out of the building... was it you?"
"Yeah it was..." Syaoran smiled.
Things were silent for a moment. Sakura just sat there gazing at the table like it was the best thing here at the moment. Well it would have been if Syaoran hadn't just come barging back into her life. She wanted so badly to just run and kiss him but restrained herself. After a moment Sakura spoke.
"How has your life been?"
"Boring, empty and challenging being a leader." Syaoran said thinking of the best words to describe his life since he cruelly walked out on her.
"Why was that I wonder?" Sakura said sarcastically.
"I'm not that heartless to just forget about you Sakura" Syaoran snarled slightly.
Sakura smiled a bit then she stood up and announced," I'm going to bed I'm tired." Then she just brushed past Syaoran and Syaoran followed.
"You can sleep in the spare room when you're ready to go to bed..." Sakura said from her bedroom door when Syaoran was about to collapse on her couch.
"Alright" Syaoran said and Sakura retreated to her bedroom. She quickly got undressed into her pyjamas and then hopped into bed no longer hoping for Syaoran to return...
Syaoran before he collapsed on the couch pulled out his phone. He stepped back outside for a moment and called his mother. After a few rings Yelan answered, "Hello mother" Syaoran spoke down the phone.
"Syaoran, You arrived safely I take it," Yelan said speaking.
"Yes I did mother. I have also seen Sakura"
"Oh did you. Did you tell her anything?"
"Yes, But not why I'm here yet as you instructed."
"Good don't."
"Have you found Xiefa's murderer yet...?" He questioned.
"No. I'm almost certain that whoever it is, is targeting Sakura. Why else would he murder Xiefa? To get you over here and leave her in Japan..."
"But mother we don't know who this person is let alone what this person is planning. Sakura is strong and can take care of herself."
"Alright, I'll call you when I more information... Goodnight Syaoran"
"Goodnight mother" Syaoran said and flipping his phone down to cut the call. He stepped back inside after a while and then stepped into the spare room and lay on the bed. He fell asleep feeling more alone than he had done when he was in China but now the one he loved was just a room away…
