Chapter 10

Sakura and Syaoran were both frozen in place Syaoran's accusations and both their sanity blown away by the wind. It was like a spell was cast in this fairytale like place making the time stand still.

The sea breeze was buffeting them but neither was paying heed or was making a move. They were just staring at each other. Green eyes meeting dark brown ones.

With the setting sun in the background and the crooning of the waves of the sea the moment became almost magical...

Without knowing what she was doing Sakura raised her hand and slowly touched Syaoran's cheek with her fingertips.

Without understanding why, Syaoran did not cringe from the contact but what he wasn't ready for was his reaction to that simple touch.

When the tips of that person's fingers grazed his cheeks a myriad of emotions were invoked from deep inside him, happiness, a tightening in his chest, panic and most of all an overwhelming desire of something and more much much more.

Instinctively both of them closed their eyes...

ANSWER ME! ANSWER ME! ANSWER ME! ANSWER ME!

...and like a rock going through a colorful glass window the moment was shattered in an instant.

Syaoran's eyes jerked opened. Realizing what almost happened he quickly withdrew his hands and took a step back like he was burned.

Covering his blushing face with the back of his hand, Syaoran quickly retreated and fled like Bob Marley chased by shampoo.

Sakura just stared at the ice prince running away. With her trembling knees unable to support her weight anymore Sakura leaned in the light house door and slid down the floor.

What in the name of all that's holy just happened!?

ANSWER ME! ANSWER ME! ANSWER ME!

With her heart still thudding painfully in her chest and her hands shaking Sakura answered her phone.

"Sakura!" It was Meiling shouting in a voice that does not need the phone's speakers to be turned on.

Sakura flinched at the phone that she was holding rubbing her ears unsure of how much damage her eardrums suffered.

"Sakura, finally we were trying to reach you for like forever. Don't go disappearing from the face of the earth like that again!"

Sakura sighed while rubbing her throbbing temples. She really has to give it to her friend to know the exact and perfect time to call her.

"What's up Mei? Is there any problem? Or is there a new catastrophe heading my way?" Sakura said. Knowing Mei there is always a reason for these perfect timing calls and usually those reasons don't bode well for her.

"Oh come on Sakura. Don't be such a fuddy duddy. We were just checking up on you..."

"Yeah right like the starnose mole is really cute in reality..."

"Well...now that you mention stars. Wanna know someone who is about to become a star..."

"What!? What about stars?" Sakura asked not understanding anything at this point. With the hangover from the liquor and someone's dark brown eyes her brain is just not up to the task of taking in anything at the moment.

"Here give me the phone. I will be the one to tell her." Tomoyo said snatching the phone away from Mei making her friend pout like a baby.

"Hello Sakura? It's me Tomoyo." "What is going on Tomoyo? and what's with this stars stuff?"

"Well about that. We have to talk. We're here at Mei's place. Why don't you come over and we'll explain things when you get here."

Sakura sighed again. Just how much insanity can one person take to complete a day?

"Is it really important Tomoyo? I mean can't it wait for tomorrow?"

"Well...it's a bit of an emergency...uhm something about Saule came up."

Sakura smacked her forehead. It was her alter ego again. Exactly what is it with her other identity that's making her a prime target for freaky shows.

"All right. Just give me abit and I will be there in a jiffy."

AT MEI'S PLACE...

"You what!?" Sakura asked Mei incredelously.

"Sakura...Are-are you okay?" Tomoyo asked Sakura with such a worried expression that Sakura forced herself to take a deep breath to calm down.

"Bu-but Tomoyo..." Sakura stuttered not believing her luck. Ever since she came home, disaster followed by another disaster keep coming at her.

"Don't worry sweetie. It's not like some major ass kicking thing to do. " Meiling said waving away the situation as something nothing more than a trivial matter.

Sakura just answered back with a stare that made Meiling flinch and squirm.

"Okay I know I shouldn't have gotten you...I mean us in this messy situation but what can I say I'm just human a weak human. I was up against a monster."

Tomoyo sighed Mei can be quite dramatic sometimes.

"What do you mean a monster? It was just Yukito niichan."

"Exactly. It was the ultimate monster of cuteness who shoots rainbow lasers. Compared to his pleading eyes Tomoyo's puppy dog eyes is like the glare of death. He was like this when he asked me..." Meiling got off her bed to demonstrate the terrifying abilities of the ultimate monster of cuteness Yukito.

"Come on Mei just this one favor. Pleaseeee..." Mei said in imitation of Yukito's voice.

"Bu-but...I-I-I..." Mei said now back in her original voice and facing the other side.

"The concert's for charity and there's no way we can perform without a lead singer."

Jumping back to the left..."But why Saule? Don't you have any other poor soul to convince? And why ask me?"

Jumping back to right..."Well Saule's last performance was just incredible and I know you can convince him. If there is anyone who is the best in convincing people that would be you."

Jumping back to the left... "Well when you put it that way...I know I'm good but you don't really have to rub it in...And besides being this good usually gets me into trouble...oh fine. I'll try convincing him...it's for charity and all..."

On the side Sakura and Tomoyo were both giving Meiling a drool stare, for charity indeed.

Jumping back to the right... "Really!? You're the best Mei. I know I can count on you."

"...and then he gave me a bear hug. Imagine how I felt with that hug after he gave me that pleading look. The look was enough to make me even agree to jump over a bridge for him but the hug was the knock out secret and that wasn't even the end of it. He also gave me that killer smile with sparkles in the background. What can I do? It was a total overkill." Meiling said dramatically slumping back to the bed looking like a defeated player who fought till death.

Sakura and Tomoyo just looked at each other. It's not that they don't blame Meiling for agreeing, they do well partly. She should have been stronger and sterner but an image of Yukito with his ultimate smile came into mind. They both sighed.

"One can never win against that guy huh." Sakura said thinking of how cute Yukito must have looked pleading and a wave of uncontrollable giddiness followed.

"Yes. Yukito niichan can be very scary sometimes. It's a good thing that he is what he is. Imagine if Yukito niichan was other than his usual self. What if he is actually sinister and evil..."

and an image of a dark Yukito came to mind complete with the dark cape, lightning in the background, opera like music, and maniacal laughter.

"You know how that image seems so wrong." Meiling said frowning at the bubble image of the evil Yukito that the three of them conjured.

The three girls looked at each other and sighed. It was far more possible for the devil Mephisto Pheles to turn into pink haired unicorn than their Yukito niichan to turn into an evil dark lord poised to take over the world.

"Fine. What will I do this time?" Sakura said giving up on the idea of any form of escape.

Meiling grinning ear to ear looked at Sakura like she was a turkey served at thanksgiving.

"Well...The concert's in one week so niichan said the band has to rehearse overtime and practice starts tomorrow..." Meiling said smiling sheepishly.

"Tomorrow!" Sakura yelled. Thinking of her recent lucky streak what else can she expect.

"Sakura...I'm sorry for all of these. If I did not ask you to become my knight..." Tomoyo clasped Sakura's hand in hers and looked at her with watery eyes.

Sakura smiled at her friend and ruffled her hair.

"Tomoyo you don't have to say sorry. It was my decision to come to your aid and be your knight and I don't regret that decision. I may complain and say things but in the end I will always be by your side so don't cry anymore. What kind of knight will I be if I make my dear princess cry."

Still smiling Sakura wiped away Tomoyo's tears. Tomoyo smiled back at Sakura. There is no other person more perfect than Sakura to be her knight and if her knight wishes for her to dry her tears, she is more than glad to do so.

On the side Meiling watched the scene unfold in front of her with narrowed eyes.

"You know guys every time you do that, you always make me feel weird. Continue doing that and I just might turn into a witch and give princess Tomoyo a poisoned apple and take away her knight..."

"Mei!" Tomoyo gasped horrified at the thought that someone might take away her knight.

"Yes yes your highness. You don't need to get your knickers in a twist for I know it needs a more sinister being to be able to sway your loyal knight. However, back to the main topic so Sakura are you going to the rehearsal tomorrow?"

Turning to Sakura's direction, Meiling asked for her friend's confirmation.

"Are you giving me choice?" Sakura replied.

Meiling smiled mischievously and shook her head.

"Well...not exactly..."

Sakura sighed. Come hell or high waters she was ready for everything.

"I knew you would say that...If that's the case then let's get this show on the road."

x3...x3...x3

What!? Saule will now be part of the Moonflower band? and Yukito personally asked for him!? and in the horizon a storm is brewing with the ice prince stirring it...Who will engulf the knight's heart in a whirlwind of love?
