Cardcaptor Sakura: a promise is a promise

Chapter 10

They all got outside and walked wearing wonderful kimonos Tomoyo gave them on Christmas. Sakura's Kimono was a beautiful pink floral. She took care of it dearly and always liked to wear it on special occasions. Tonight was the Tomoeda festival held near the shrine and Toya was all too stubborn and disagreed to go but Kero got a chance to burn his butt and Toya decided to save the house from burning down, go to the festival.

Sakura: Wow! (Stares at the sky) It's so pretty tonight!

Kero: Yeah but it's getting colder and colder…

Toya: Well fall is ending next week. Winter is taking over fast.

Yukito: That means I can try the new hot cocoa I made! Then we can go Skiing with your friends Sakura.

Sakura: Really?

Yukito: Then we'll have a wonderful Christmas together!

Toya: Then Chiharu's wedding day.

Sakura: Lots of things are happening in winter.

Yukito: Yup, but we'll have time to enjoy it. Sakura, you have your winter break from your part time job.

Sakura: (nods) Yes. The Japanese Sweet Shop is gonna close for a few weeks. Mr. Takemoto said he was going to go somewhere with his family.

Yukito: That's great! Toya and I also have our winter break soon. We'll be able to spend time as a family whenever we have free time.

Toya: Yeah…

Kero: Well here we are!

They reached the shrine. They saw many familiar faces and saw many booths with games and stuff that were for sale. Sakura lightened up and gave a smile. She loved festivals especially whenever it was on a nice warm night. They saw Chiharu and Yamazaki walking while holding hands. Sakura waved and Chiharu waved back.

Chiharu: Good Evening Sakura!

Sakura: Good Evening Chiharu. Hello Yamazaki.

Yamazaki: Hello Sakura.

Yukito: good evening Chiharu.

Chiharu: I guess are enjoying tonight's festivities.

Yukito: Yes we are.

Yamazaki: So are we. Well Chiharu shall we get going?

Chiharu: Yes. Well Sakura I hope we see each other again. You'll be there on our wedding day right?

Sakura: Of Course I will. Yukito and Toya will be there as well.

Chiharu: That's great! Thank you.

Toya: No problem at all.

Yamazaki: Have you ever known Festivals started on a rulers day and the people started having festivals as well?

Sakura: Umm… really?

Chiharu: (held Yamazaki's ear) Lies… all lies.

Sakura (sweatdrop) ahhh… really? (smiles)

Chiharu: (starts waving while walking away and while holding Yamazaki's Ear) Goodbye then!

Sakura: Bye! (waves as Chiharu disappears with Yamazaki)

Sakura walked on, Yukito and Toya won lots and lots of prizes, they even stopped to look at the pretty cotton candy machine and the kind man gave them some. Sakura was having the time of her life. Meanwhile on the sidewalk a little bit far from the festival, Syoaran and Aiya were walking but this time not holding hands. Aiya was wearing a kimono as well. Her hair tied up into a ponytail decorated with a flower attached on the side. Syaoran's hands were inside his pockets while Aiya's hands were on her side. Aiya felt sad because she and Syaoran haven't been spending time together after the fight about Sakura.

Aiya: I would like to thank you.

Syaoran: Why?

Aiya: Thank you for bringing me along.

Syaoran: Well I want you to enjoy a Japanese festival for once.

Aiya: (smiles) yeah…

They got to the festival and Syaoran saw Sakura looking beautiful as ever. Aiya noticed Syaoran was dazed and Syaoran noticed that Aiya became sadder. Syaoran picked a flower from the bush and showed it infront of her eyes. Aiya was surprised and her smile came back. Syaoran was disturbed. He wasn't used to Aiya smiling, no matter what he couldn't see that he loved Sakura more than ever. Sakura walked over to them and waved. Aiya waved and Syaoran as well and he saw Sakura's smile. The old, real, warm smile she always gave. She never wanted to fake a smile ever again in front of Syaoran.

Sakura: (bows) Good Evening.

Aiya:(Bows) Good Evening as well Sakura. Are you here with your family?

Sakura: Umm… yes I am. I am with my brother and his friend who is currently living with us.

Aiya: That's great!

Sakura: (smiles) Good Evening Li.

Syaoran: Good Evening…

Aiya noticed a pink blush on Syaoran's face. She smiled and she looked up at the night sky. Sakura noticed that and she smiled at Aiya.

Sakura: The fireworks will be starting soon. Will you be staying a little bit longer?

Aiya: Well sure. I would love to stay and watch the fireworks right Syaoran?

Syaoran: That would be great.

Sakura: Well I have to get going. My brother and his friend are waiting for me. Goodbye then. (Turns around and walks away.)

Aiya: Goodbye Sakura.

Syaoran: Goodbye Sakura.

Sakura turned back and waved. She felt good that Syaoran was acting like her friend again. She thought that after everything they have gone through he was going to stay mean to her, but she was thankful that he didn't. Toya said he didn't last a jerk but she said he never lasted a mean person after all. Syaoran felt good as well. He felt so bad about hurting Sakura and tried to fix everything by apologizing. Sakura looks better but inside he knows she is still in pain and keeping it to herself. Syaoran has to talk to her again, but he is afraid because Sakura might run or cry again. The fireworks suddenly started and Syaoran and Aiya got a good spot at the field. They sat down on a blanket and they held hands. Aiya was very happy; she knew this would be the last time she would do this with Syaoran. Syaoran was also happy spending time with her. Sakura was enjoying herself as well with Toya, Yukito and Kero were watching the fireworks. As Sakura watched the fireworks her face lightened up. "I just wish it the old times before Syaoran left were the way things are right now." She thought.
