(an:______________) Author's Notes ~change the point of view~ ~*dream*~

Sakura is the Mistress of the Clow Cards, which are now converted into Sakura Cards and Meiling and Tomoyo also have a bit of magic in them but no where near as powerful as Syaoran's or Sakura's. And I don't own CCS.

"If you knew, why bother asking me," said Syaoran who know stopped and turned to face Eriol.

"Well just to be sure," Eriol, using his annoying smiles, said.

When Syaoran was about to leave Eriol asked, "are you going to admit that you love Sakura now?"

Syaoran didn't turn back to face Eriol again but said one simple word that might even change everything, "Yes."

(Saturday night)

~*Sakura's dream*~



It's so dark. cold and I could only feel. emptiness.

Dark, pitch black aura but a tiny hint of golden aura so familiar to. Kero's!

Kero must be here, but then again where am I? I could hear whispers, calling me.



Come to me. . .

My cherry blossom. . .

Join me. . .

I am coming for you. . .

You will be mine. . .



I could feel the dark aura engulfing me, I , I have to get out of here!

I could hear the whispers haunting me.

I run but they seemed to be fallowing me.

I have to get out, I have to wake up NOW!

I can't stand the darkness, the emptiness. coldness.

Please stop! Let me OUT!

I run as fast as my feet could carry me.

There is a door at the end of this dark haunting hall of some kind.

I open the door. . .

This time much stronger, dark aura engulfed me. .

It's. . . too strong. . .

I want to get out of here!

PLEASE!



~*end of dream*~

"Please. . . just leave me alone. . ." whispered Sakura in fear.

She couldn't stand it. It's been almost every night that this dream came to haunt her.

She got out of the bed and wore a coat over her sleeping gown. And headed for her cherry blossom garden.

**************************************************************************** *********

(Syaoran's room)

Syaoran jolted up as he sensed Sakura's pink aura in so much confusion, fear and despair.

He searched for other auras that were awake but he was the only one to sense Sakura's aura.

He got dressed and went outside following her aura.

***********************************************************************

(Sakura's garden)

Sakura sat ion the middle of her garden trying to calm herself down.

*I wish Kero was here, he'd know how to solve this. He always did * Sakura thought silently.

Then all of a sudden she felt so helpless and alone. She knew she had Tomoyo, Meiling, Eriol and. . . Syaoran.

She felt her cheeks grow warm and getting butterflies in her tummy.

But that wonderful thought was soon taken over by the dream again and she felt once more so alone.

She hated it, she hated being so helpless, even to her own self.

She didn't know how to end the dream and to figure out what it meant.

She felt warm tears flooding and for once in many years she let them drop.

She so desperately needed someone to talk to her, tell her everything would be alright and the one she could only think of was not Kero or Tomoyo.

It was Syaoran.

She wanted him to take her in his arms so much, so badly.

She didn't stop herself to think about Syaoran. She was too tired to anyway.

She thought of what Tomoyo and Meiling said that very day.

Falling for Syaoran.

She had to admit it, she knew it very well as well. Hiding it would make it worse.

*I love Syaoran. . . *

**************************************************************************** *********

Syaoran entered Sakura's garden. And spotted Sakura.

She looked so sad and if he wasn't mistaken, she had tears in her beautiful emerald eyes.

His heart ached all over, he couldn't stand seeing the confident, cheerful, strong Sakura like that.

He wanted to take her in his arms and wipe the tears off her eyes and make her smile, that beautiful smile, again.

He could watch anymore, he walked out of his hiding place.

"Sakura. . ." he whispered.

Sakura turned almost immediately getting into a fighting stance.

"No, wait, it's me, Syaoran," he quickly added.

Sakura quickly turned and wiped her tear away and tried her beat to give him a smile.

"What are you doing out here?" Sakura asked in her fake cheerful voice.

"Sakura, what's wrong? You don't have to hide it," Syaoran said in a very worried voice that even Sakura couldn't miss it.

"What do you mean? I'm perfectly fine, I just couldn't sleep so I came out here," said Sakura.

"You don't have to hide from me Sakura, you know that," said Syaoran steeping closer, "besides, your eyes are red. Why have been crying?"

Sakura's smile faded and she turned around so he could see her face.

"Please, go away," Sakura pleaded as her tears dropped again.

"Why are you hiding?" Syaoran asked gently.

"I don't want you to see me right now," said Sakura trying to calm her tears down.

"I don't want you to see me cry. . ." Sakura added quietly.

Syaoran was shocked at her answer but couldn't stand to see her cry, for some reason it was so painful to see it.

Without hesitation, he went towards her and embraced her from behind.

Sakura was shocked at his sudden display of emotions but remained silent.

Syaoran knew what he was doing. He loved her so much that he couldn't stand seeing her cry.

Syaoran slowly turned Sakura to face him. Sakura not protesting it in anyway.

Syaoran wiped off her tears and smiled warmly at her.

Sakura weakly smiled back and rested her head on Syaoran's chest and before she knew it, she fall into to a peaceful slumber. . . in Syaoran's arms knowing that no harm would get to her.
