On with the story!!!
Interlude
Dark green curtains flew freely from
their position in front on an open window. A warm breeze mixed with the
moisture of a light rain coming from the outside. Syaoran woke to the light
tapping of the raindrops against the roof of the penthouse. He laid in
bed silently admiring the rhythm of the noise and the peace that the atmosphere
brought him.
His steady amber gaze rested upon
his ceiling for a few moments more before he sat up. After running his
fingers through his ever windblown hair he walked into his spotless living
room. It was dimly lit by the skylight in the middle of the room. He walked
over to the sliding door leading to his balcony and opened in slowly. As
he stepped out, he could smell the scent of the rain as a light breeze
hit his face, blowing the stray bangs of his hair from his face.
With his elbows rested on the railing
separating him from the ground many feet below, he turned his face toward
the sky. Clouds were littered across it, creating a blanket of gray, with
small cracks here and there letting in some light. Tiny drops of water
fell of the balcony's roof. Syaoran looked back to the rest of the city.
There were no cars out, no people running about. All calm as a light fog
settled across Tomoeda with grace.
" I wonder what Sakura's doing right
now." He said out loud, never taking his gaze of the sleeping city. It
was early, and Syaoran knew she was probably asleep. But he couldn't help
but wonder. The then turned his head toward the ground. A young girl was
walking by. Her golden brown hair swayed softly with the beat of her steps
as she marched slowly across the sidewalk. An umbrella settled on her shoulder
preventing Syaoran from seeing her face.
He smiled.
A light pink aura surrounded the
girl as she happily strolls along. He couldn't help but admire how innocent
and sweet she was. Most people would ruin the perfect picture the town
was this morning, but Syaoran knew, Sakura was far too beautiful for any
such thing. She left a trail of joy and warmth wherever she went, no matter
how dark the place, and she had done it to him as well. As she passed by
his balcony she stopped, looked up at him, and smiled. She knew he was
there the whole time. He smiled back. No words were spoken, all was said
with their eyes.
A ring of raindrops formed around
Sakura as they bounced of her umbrella, causing her to look more angelic
then she had before. Syaoran didn't notice though, he was too lost in her
perfect emerald eyes that nothing else really mattered right then. Syaoran
looked so handsome with no shirt on and his hair dripping with rain. But
his wonderful smile is what caught Sakura's attention. Her gaze soon moved
upward and stopped at his eyes. The eyes that have shown her determination,
concern, and most recently, love. For a moment time stood still, and they
were the only two people who existed.
