Samurai Secret
Chapter 13
The sounds of Sakura's heavy pants could be heard in the corridors. An onlooker would see a beautiful, but distressed girl racing away from an unknown source. Her long auburn hair flowed freely behind her and the flowers braided into it coming loose.
Sakura opened the door of her room, stepped in, and slammed the door. After she had made sure it was locked she collapsed on her bed, tears streaming down her cheeks.
Sakura's POV
Why? Why did I let him kiss me? I can't fall in love with him! I'm lying to him and all my friends! Being with him would just complicate things. He would hate me if he knew what I was doing.
She continued to sob... out of confusion... or out of her heart's own denial she knew not.
There's so much about him that I don't know. I mean... he's not exactly a stranger... but I've never really been that close to him. There was always a barrier... probably my lies. I'm a liar. I don't deserve him! He's perfect in every way. He's been to kind to me... and I can't trick him... I can't lead him on. We can't be together. Plus... he doesn't even know Sakura. How do I know I'm not just some one-night stand to him? He doesn't know anything about me! He probably just wanted some fun. I can't have him romance me and get me pregnant! Imagine how much more complicated things would get.
I already feel guilty for lying to him... to everyone. I feel like I should tell him, but I can't imagine doing it. They would all hate me.
Oh Syaoran...
Syaoran's POV
Darn! Why did I kiss her?
He raced up steps trying to chase after Sakura, but somehow he managed to lose sight of her.
She doesn't know that I know. She probably thinks she's just another girl I'm interested in for about a day or so. How in the world can I ask her to trust me without telling her that I know who she is? I can't do that... it would break her heart. She wouldn't come here to train anymore either. I can't bear to be away from her.
The man stopped running around blindly and slowly walked towards his rooms.
... I'll make her trust me. I'll show her how much I love her... love? Ya... I guess I really am in love.
Normal POV
Tomoyo and Eriol walked swiftly towards Sakura's room. They both held worried expressions on their face.
The two had been having a great time until they heard a loud gasp. By the time the two had turned around, Sakura was racing out of the room.
Tomoyo went silently into Sakura's room then sighed, "Eriol. Come in and help me get her into bed. She's cried herself to sleep."
--The next morning--
Sakura woke up to see Tomoyo's concerned face. "Hm... what's wrong Tomoyo? Why are you so upset?" When no answer came Sakura blinked twice then whispered, "Oh... so that wasn't a dream after all... don't worry. I'll... I'll be fine."
The emerald-eyed girl got up slowly and tried to give Tomoyo her most reassuring smile. Tomoyo gestured to a white dress that ended just below her knees. The top was help up with two thin white straps and a pink lace went around the waist. It was simple, but lovely.
Without a word the two girls left their room and proceeded towards the main hall for breakfast.
As soon as they entered, Sakura spotted Syaoran talking with Eriol and immediately stepped back. Without Tomoyo gently guiding her in, Sakura might have just left.
At the table, Syaoran and Sakura were seated together across from Eriol and Tomoyo. There was utter and complete silence. Some of the young men looked Sakura's way, but Syaoran glared a warning to them. He wanted everyone to know that Sakura was his... well at least he hoped she was.
As soon as she finished, Sakura stood up and sped out of the room. Syaoran following quickly in suit.
He followed her into the courtyard, all the way to where she stopped, under the Sakura trees. When she was about to leave again, Syaoran grabbed her arm.
Making her face him, he looked into her emerald eyes, "Sakura-san... I'm sorry about what happened last night. I got a bit... carried away. Can you forgive me?"
He watched as her head dropped down and then after seemingly using a lot of effort, raised her head and looked him eye for eye. "It's fine, Syaoran... -san," then a shy but playful grin spread across her cheeks, "I'll just get Touya or my... other brother to hurt you for me."
Syaoran grinned as he notice the almost lack of 'san' at the end of his name and nearly laughed out loud as he realized Sakura had no name for her male self. "Thank Sakura-san. I have a favor to ask. Would you..." Syaoran suddenly turned bright red, "Would it be possible... would you... would... would you be my... gulp date for the rest of your time here?"
Sakura was pink. Pinker than the cherry blossoms slowly falling from the trees. "Of course... Syaoran."
Grinning at the lack of formality added to his name, Syaoran gave her his arm and they took a walk through the cherry blossom gardens.
--The last day Sakura stays for the ball--
"Tomoyo!" Sakura whispered, "I can't go out there!" Rolling her eyes Tomoyo stated, "Listen here Kinomoto Sakura. I worked my butt of making you that dress so don't tell me that you won't wear it out for all the cute young men to see. Besides, Syaoran will love it!"
Sakura blushed at the mentioning of Syaoran's name. The entire Samurai institute had found out about her and Syaoran. They were an official couple. Not fiancés... but a dating couple nonetheless. This, of course, had caused many groans on the entire male population. Even Takashi seemed disappointed... well that is until he met Chiharu, Sakura's cousin.
Mustering up all her courage Sakura stepped into the ball room.
The room was DEAD SILENT.
All eyes were on the emerald-eyed girl wearing a pure white dress that touched the floor. It was strapless, but around her shoulder area there was a sort of silver glitter. Around her waist was wrapped a shimmering, pink and silver lace. The dress did not spread out, but flowed freely down and at the knee area, on the sides of the dress, there were slits that ended were the dress ended. Instead of see Sakura's legs though, there was a light pink veil material rustling under the skirt of the dress.
Sakura's hair had been done up by Tomoyo herself. Hal of her hair was at a loose bun the top of her head while at the bottom, luscious, waved hair flowed down. Her lips had been painted pink and at the corners of her eyes, there was silver glitter to set off her angelic look.
Syaoran was the first to get out of his daze and walk up to her and offer her his hand, "You're looking beautiful tonight, my angel."
To be continued...
I was going to add part of the next chapter, but I decided it would ruin the mood. Oh well. RR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
