Chapter14: Impossible

- -- -…- -- -

It all happened so fast, Sakura thought as she stood there, frozen. One minute they were chasing one another around the house and the next… they were standing close to one another, and he had leaned in for the kiss after a whispered 'Don't.' Her heart felt as though it was ready to burst, it was beating so fast she feared the whole world could hear it… not she feared he could hear it. Sakura didn't know if she was allowed to kiss a ghost, heck she wasn't even sure how you could even kiss a ghost, but she did, and she loved the tingles it sent down her body.

Slowly, she felt Syaoran's arms wrap around her waist, it was so strong, and so secure, and as much as she knew deep, deep down inside her that this was wrong, she responded, putting both her hands on his chest. They didn't know how long it lasted, to them, one minute meant forever, but eventually Syaoran pulled back slowly, he was a ghost, which meant he didn't need to breathe, but he knew if he could, he would be out of breath right about now. He looked down at the girl in front of him, and saw her eyes were closed, yet they were ready to open.

"I…" Sakura stuttered she didn't know where to start! The fact that that was totally uncalled for or the fact that she had enjoyed it, "Syaoran I-"

"Sorry." He said quickly and shortly, Sakura looked up at him, "I… didn't know what I was doing." He apologized, her an his hand through his chestnut hair, Sakura shook her head,

"No, I didn't know what I was thinking…I should have… I shouldn't… this isn't supposed to happen." Sakura muttered, taking a step back from him, Syaoran started to take a step front, but she stopped him, "no Syaoran… don't." she bit down on her bottom lip,

"Why?" he asked, "Look I know I'm dead, but I know well what I'm feeling," Syaoran said forcefully, "Can we just-"

"No!" Sakura exclaimed, shocking both Syaoran and herself, "Syaoran what we did… it's my fault I… Look let's just… can we forget it?" she asked, Syaoran looked at her as if she had grown two heads,

"So that's it, you want to just forget about the whole thing then?" he said harshly, "like it never happened, fine, forget it then." He said coldly, Sakura cursed herself,

"Syaoran please…" she begged softly, Syaoran shook his head,

"No, let's forget about it, we'll forget that kiss never happened and I'll even do you one more favour, let's forget we ever met." He said, and with that he disappeared from her sight, Sakura stood alone in the living room, she closed her eyes, searching for his presence around the house but she couldn't feel it. She ran out the front door, flinging it opened, looking around the street frantically, but she couldn't see him… he had really left…

"Sakura what are you doing out here?" her dad's voice suddenly broke her concentration, she looked up at him in his suite and briefcase, looking down at her,

"Otou-san… you're early." Sakura said softly, Fujitaka placed a palm on her forehead,

"Are you sick Sakura? It's nearly 6." He pointed out, Sakura looked at her own watch, and it was pointing a six.

"Oh…I guess I lost track of time." She mumbled, she followed her dad in, sparing on last glance at the dark and empty street,

"Wow you've worked really hard on your chores, I don't think I've ever since this house so spotless before." Fujitaka praised, smiling at his daughter, Sakura nodded distractedly, not really listening,

"Yea… Otou-san I don't think I'm feeling too well… I don't feel like going to dinner tonight just save something for me." She said softly, already heading up the stairs. Fujitaka nodded, watching her go slowly up the stairs,

"Something's wrong." He thought.

- -- -…- -- -

As soon as Sakura got into her room she locked her door and collapsed onto her bed. She had a huge head ache for some reason. Her room felt so cold even though the heater in the house was on. It was as if the whole world knew Syaoran had left her and it made her feel horrible.

"You shouldn't have said that to him." Her mind chided her,

"What was I supposed to tell him? That I liked the kiss that I agree whole heartedly to what he told me?"

"Better than lying,"

"I'm a mediator! I can't fall in love with every ghost I meet!"

"Who said anything about love? Admit it… you feel the same way."

Sakura dug her head into her pillow and let out a scream. She turned her head sideways; her eyes gazing at the window sill, Syaoran had always stayed there, it was 'his spot' if you want to call it that. But now it was so empty, Sakura closed her eyes, planning on taking a nap,

"Syaoran…" she whispered, a single tear fell from her eyes as she drifted off.

- -- -…- -- -

Syaoran floated back to Penguin Park. It was starting to get dark, and slowly the street lights started to flicker on. Why had he just said that? Stupid him, he ran his finger across his lips subconsciously, he could still feel her warm lips on hers. That kiss was unlike any other ones he had before. He never felt so much in just a few seconds, he felt so… alive when he kissed him, as ironic as that sounded.

"And to think people think we rest in peace after we die… you're not at peace are you." A cold voice snarled from a corner. Syaoran whipped around, a cold expression on his face when he met a familiar pair of steel cold eyes glaring back at him.

"You look familiar… you're the man from the travel bus incident…" Syaoran recalled, then his expression got colder, "the man who went with the black bastard."

"Larry's my name." he said by the tree,

"I don't care." Syaoran retorted, "What are you doing here, don't you need to go be someone's dog somewhere?" the amber eyed ghost spat. Larry didn't get mad; on the contrary, he chuckled coldly, stepping out of the tree's shadows and into the moonlight. His charcoal coloured hair fell against his cold steel eyes as he strides towards him.

"Come on we're both ghosts, no need for the attitude." Larry said, spreading his arms wide, "Where's your mediator girl or what ever she is?" at that point Syaoran couldn't help but wince, their conversation coming back to him,

"Ah… touched a cold spot have I?" Larry chuckled again in his menacing way, "I guess I can see why you hang around her, and she is very beautiful isn't she? Bet it's nice to stay around someone as… grown and mature as she is." He chuckled, "I wouldn't mind a few minutes either…" he thought, Syaoran's eyes glazed over, he felt his anger boil at the man and quicker than a flash, Syaoran had him pinned up against the tree, his right elbow up against the man's throat. Larry's face reflected, shock, pure shock for a second before it disappeared,

"What harm can you do to me huh? You think you're so tough? You made the wrong choice staying with the girl, and now she'll regret ever having met you." He growled before he disappeared from under Syaoran. Syaoran couldn't see where he was anymore, he looked around the park, but not a single ghost was there, but the last part he said scared him, worried, he dashed back to the house he just left.

Sakura didn't go to dinner, like she said. She was fast asleep in her bed, the sky was getting dark and outside her window, the winds blew against the tree, and a cold shadow slipped into her room. Putting down his black hood, Ronin stared down at her sleeping face. Stepping up to her bed, he kneeled down,

"It's a shame you're a mediator." The guy said quietly, he ran a cold finger down her cheek and Sakura started to move, groaning softly.

"Syaoran…" she whispered, Ronin continued to sigh,

"And it's a shame of all ghosts he had to be your 'one'." He said, both of his hands were on her face now, and slowly it slid down, down past her chin and around her slender neck, then his hands tightened. Sakura's eyes snapped opened, feeling her air flow stop,

"No!" she chocked, her hands automatically went to the large hands that were gripping her throat. She thrashed around her bed she forced her eyes at the fact of her attacker, and chocked a gasp, "R-Ronin?" the room was starting to spin, she couldn't get enough air to her mind, the lack of oxygen was making her whole body weak, she didn't have the strength to summer her powers…

"Sakura!" the hands were suddenly off her, and she fell onto the floor, grabbing her throat, chocking and coughing, trying to get air in. On the floor, Syaoran was on the ground with Ronin, rolling around in a wrestling match. Sakura saw Syaoran under Ronin, and then in a flash, Syaoran was on top of him, punching the guys with all he had. Ronin pushed him off, and Syaoran was pushed back against the wall, Ronin wiped the side of his mouth where a small amount of blood was trailing down, Syaoran looked pretty torn up.

"You're done once and for all." Ronin spat, he raised his hand, and a small ball of red energy started to grow in his palms, Sakura's eyes widened in recognition,

"You're a shifter?" she gasped her throat hoarse, she saw in the sickening red glow Ronin winking at her, tired and exhausted, she felt herself fill up with fear, she forced herself up and launched herself in front of Syaoran, she shot her arms up and with one swipe, all her anger turned into her energy and a bright pink and white glow left her arm and sent an energy blast right at Ronin. The shifter was knocked out of his concentration, his red energy ball disappearing into wisps, and he fell down.

"Interesting," Ronin muttered he sent an icy grin at the mediator and ghost, standing back up, his silver eyes penetrated deep into Sakura's emerald ones and Sakura felt weak and cold and clammy all over, as if she was recovering from a horrible fever. "Very interesting," Ronin said before with a flash of his cloak, he disappeared again before their eyes.

The room was once again silence with nothing but the wind howling outside her window and the small chirps of crickets. Syaoran immediately grabbed Sakura by her shoulders and spun her around, his amber eyes scanning her whole body for injuries. He sighed in relief, her neck was red and Sakura knew it would start to bruise, but that was the least of Sakura's worries, before Syaoran could get a word out, his arms were already pushed off her shoulder and in return, Sakura was right up in front of him, her own eyes looking him through. Her hands were slightly glowing and she ran it down his arms, he shivered,

"Are you alright? Did he get you? Did the any bit of the energy ball touch you?" Sakura babbled, she pushed him into the middle of the room, and made him turn around in circles on one spot, her eyes continued to look him through,

"Sakura." Syaoran said calmly, but she wasn't listening, "SAKURA!" he roared, Sakura stopped instantly and glanced worriedly at the door,

"Don't be so loud my dad's downstairs!" she hissed, before she calmed down,

"I'm fine, you stood right in front of me, remember?" he pointed out. Sakura giggled nervously, nodding,

"Oh yea…right." She mumbled, her hands grazed the front of her neck, and winced when it gave a sharp pain. "Ronin…" she said quietly,

"He better watch out, because if I ever see him on the street I don't care if he's a shifter, mediator or the devil himself I will kill him." Syaoran growled, Sakura shook her head,

"He's a shifter Syaoran, and by the looks of it he's a strong one, he's probably the ones who have been taught to shift at a very young age. If he even sees you on the street forget about thinking he's the devil you'll meet the devil himself because he can exorcise you like that." She snapped her fingers.

"Thanks for the confident boost." Syaoran said dryly, Sakura shook her head,

"We're going to have to be careful…If he continues to grow in power… I won't be able to stop him. You have to be careful." Sakura told Syaoran seriously,

"I'm not the one he tried to kill," said Syaoran, "You should be telling yourself that." When Sakura stayed silent, Syaoran's expression softened,

"Sakura… about this afternoon… when I just walked out like that…" he began, Sakura shook her head,

"It's no problem, I've already forgotten about it." Sakura said quietly, Syaoran narrowed his eyes,

"Well I haven't!" he said loudly making Sakura look up at him, "and as much as you want me to I can't pretend it never happened and I can't pretend I didn't kiss you." Sakura was shocked when he said that to her,

"Syaoran… look it's not all your fault, I kissed you back and I'm as much to blame… but right now… things are going on around us and we just can't… we just can't." Sakura said heavily, Syaoran nodded, though his face was drained of expression,

"I'm going to move out…" he said, Sakura's head snapped up,

"No Syaoran, it's dangerous out there-" she stood up, Syaoran shook his head,

"I can take care of myself," he said harsher than he had wanted to, "Look you and I both know, it's going to very awkward and hard to stay around one another let alone stay in the same house and room, if I get into any trouble I'll come back." He said, Sakura didn't know what to say, she knew he was right, she won't be able to act normally around him anymore, not after that, not when her feelings matched his exactly,

"I… promise Syaoran you'll come as soon as you have trouble, don't try to be all tough and powerful just… come back." Sakura said brokenly, Syaoran gave her a half smile, Sakura expected not to see him when she looked back up again, but when she did, he was standing right in front of her,

"I promise." He said sincerely, and when she didn't expect it, he dropped his head and gave her a short but warm kiss on her lips before pulling back and disappearing all together. Sakura stood alone in her room, her eyes closed, her hands were raised and clutching thin air, the air that had been Syaoran's shirt she had been clutching desperately in hopes he wouldn't go. Tears fell down her eyes again as she opened them to see her empty room.

For the second time that night, she dropped back onto her bed, and cried.
