Chapter 1: Romance town
A flash appeared, and the four friends along with Mokona dropped from the sky. They landed once again in an awkwardly uncomfortable position with Kurogane at the bottom.
"Must you always land us like this! You little bastard…" Kurogane complained to Mokona. Not only does he always land them in uncomfortable positions, he's always at the bottom! They all got up and brushed themselves off with Fai-san looking awfully quiet.
Syaoran and Sakura laughed light-heartedly at Kurogane's complain. "Mokona can't control where he lands Kuro-pon! Don't get angry, kind Kuro-pon!" Mokona teased, always loving how funny Kurogane looks when he's mad.
"Why you lil'…" Kurogane made a reach for Mokona but was abruptly interrupted by Fai. "Wait…" Fai looking very serious, this was very different from his normal reaction to Kurogane and Mokona's fights.
They all paused and looked at the much focused Fai. He seemed to be feeling some sort of wave coming through. "I feel… very strong magic… It's a very kind one, but it's very strong. It's coming from that way!" Fai said pointing towards a trail down the forest from where they landed.
"Mokona feels the vibration of a feather from that direction too!" Mokona blurted and Syaoran obviously got very excited.
Syaoran let out a rare smile. "Let's go then!" The four of them started to walk down the forest trail.
Kurogane, Fai and Mokona rushed ahead, having their little fights as usual.
"Kuro-pon is blushing!"
"Will you two SHUT UP!"
Syaoran and Sakura listened to their fight from a distance. They had sort of trail behind since the three of them were practically sprinting.
"Syaoran… you still never told me why you try so hard to get my feathers…" Syaoran was surprised by the sudden question from Sakura. You don't know how much I wish I could tell you…
Sakura stopped and basically cornered Syaoran. "I won't go on until you tell me!" Sakura suddenly getting very aggressive. "Well .. I.. it's .. eh.." Syaoran stumbled, trying to find an answer in his head.
"Can we go on with this later, Hime? We'll lose Fai-san and them very soon if we don't hurry and catch up!" Syaoran argued, hoping to stall a little longer. He didn't want Sakura to faint again because he just couldn't tell her the truth and if he tries, Sakura will faint.
Sakura let out a sigh and backed away from Syaoran. "Only if you promise to tell me later. Promise!" Syaoran had no choice but to agree. More time to just stall his way through. Maybe he'll come up with a good excuse in the coming hours.
Syaoran ushered Sakura on and soon, they caught up with Kurogane and the gang. They've reached a town that seems to be very lively as if some kind of festival was going on.
"Mekyo! The feather is in this town for sure!" They walked into the town, hoping to gain more knowledge about the whereabouts of the feather. The streets were crowded with people, everybody seemed to be smiling. Apart from all else, the town seemed very… pink.
Kurogane let out a sigh. "I hate pink." Mokona laughed and teased "I bet deep down, Kuro-pon LOVES pink!" Kurogane whacked Mokona from behind and Mokona made a face at him.
"Why the fight?" A woman from the town came up. "It's love fair! The best time of the year!"
"Love fair?" They all asked in unison.
"What! You mean you've never heard of love fair! It's only the most loved festival of the year! Lovers from all over Japan come to Romance Town (notice the name) to hope for a beautiful future with their loved ones. If you're single, come here and you'll be sure to find a girl/guy perfect for you!" The woman surely seemed excited. She pointed them to what seemed like the center of the city. "By the way, I'm Makino." They all nodded, introduced their name and she continued talking.
"There will be an event there starting soon, where a game will be played. It's called "Perfect Match" and a boy and a girl will be chosen to spend "7 minutes in heaven"! They get to spend 7 minutes locked away in a room where no one will disturb them. First you fill out a survey sheet about your interests, etc. etc. and they'll find your best match! I'll be going too, want to join me?" The nice woman smiled and there was no way the gang could say no. They followed her into the city center.
Kurogane whispered some curses. "Why are we following that crazy woman?"
Fai laughed and replied "Well, the magic is strongest there, might as well go check it out. What? Are you afraid you'll get married tonight?" Teasing Kurogane was just so much fun!
Syaoran looked at Sakura's innocent face and blushed. If only I would be chosen… with Hime! Syaoran shook off those thoughts and tried to concentrate.
"Well, here we are!" They arrived at the center, a place full of lights and PINK hearts, just PINK things all over the place. "Hurry! It's about to begin!" The woman said and shoved them 4 sheets of paper. "Fill them and I'll put it in for us!"
Syaoran looked down at his sheet, back at Sakura, blushed then looked back down and began filling his sheet.
Have you got a dream lover yet? If yes, what is his/her name?
Yes… Sakura.
Would you die for true love?
Yes.
What would you spend if you had 1 hour alone with your crush?
Confess my love...
What kind of lover would you like?
A sweet, shy one.
What kind of lover would you consider yourself?
Non-aggressive and hopefully sweet and gentle.
He quickly folded up his sheet of paper and handed it to Makino. "Thank you." He looked at Sakura, secretly hoping they would get picked together. She's so pretty… and innocent… Her lips look so soft… He snapped out of his dream when the announcer started talking again.
"Well folks! The results are in. This year's lucky couple is... … Sakura and Syaoran! Can they please come up on the stage!" Syaoran blushed furiously and looked at Sakura. Their eyes met for a second and they looked down, feeling hot from the pressure. They slowly walked up towards the stage, feeling everyone's glance on themselves.
After what seemed like forever, they made it up onto the stage. "Well, here's the room you get to be in with each other for SEVEN MINUTES! With NO disturbances what so ever!" He directed them into a small chamber, with a bed, 2 chairs and a table. The furnishings were simple but the mood was very tense.
The door closed and Syaoran and Sakura sat down on the chairs.
Syaoran was feeling hot from the blushing. He could feel that Sakura was too. "So… What'd you"
He was suddenly interrupted by Sakura. "This is a perfect chance for you to tell me why you're trying so hard!" Sakura demanded. Syaoran's eyes met hers and he simply melted.
"I try so hard… because I love you." Syaoran blurted without thinking. He put his hand on his mouth and turned away. "I'm sorry.. that's not…" Sakura turned him around and put her hand on his.
"It's okay… I love you too." She moved his hand away from his mouth and Syaoran uncontrollably leaned in and kissed her. What started from a light kiss soon turned into a deep and passionate one. Sakura's hands seemed to be controlled by something else and began running through Syaoran's hair, messing it up. Syaoran's hand held onto Sakura's face gently and began moving down her spine. They both felt a tingling sensation going up their spines.
Their 7 minutes didn't give them enough time for the making out session to turn into something more. Before they even thought 1 minute passed, the doors opened. They blushed bright red as the doors opened and half a thousand people stared at them making out. They moved away from each other.
"Ouu… looks like Syaoran and Sakura had a good time!" Fai teased.
Sakura's heart suddenly filled with guilt.. yet she had no idea why. Where had that guilt come from?
