Haha, I'm broke. I got three new anime series and I think six books of the Higurashi series on their way to my house. Yaaaaaay!
Basically just a bit of cut fluff goin' on here and then it turns to Fai and shiz. I'll have to figure out what to do for the next chapter -_-
Enjoy!
Sakura was completely shocked be the surprise kiss from the man she'd just told she loved. At first she felt afraid, but she trusted him so completely that she couldn't care about that emotion. She relaxed and slid her hands around his neck, hugging him. They broke apart and just stared lovingly into each other's eyes, "I love you too." Syaoran replied softly with a little blush. Sakura was blushing lightly as well; she felt so happy at that moment that she felt that nothing, nothing could ruin it. They simply lay there happily looking at each other, only thinking about one another and nothing else. "So should I go to work tomorrow and have you come with me or…stay home and play games all day?" He smiled. "You're just trying to get me in to have a check-up aren't you?" Sakura smiled beautifully. "Shouldn't be any needles involved…" Syaoran's eyes wondered around as he smiled. "Hmm, I reckon Fai's reaction would be pretty amusing…and then there's Yuui…" Sakura looked to the side sneakily. "Sometimes I wonder what runs through your mind." Syaoran laughed.
The two went back to game raging shortly after, picking petty little arguments with each other about cheating in the games to win. Time flew by quickly and it was soon six p.m. and probably about time for dinner. "What do you want for dinner?" Sakura asked, crashing into a wall in Spyro. Syaoran looked at her, surprised. "I was literally just about to ask you about that…wait-you mean you're going to cook?" Syaoran asked. "Pick-I cook, or we cook together. Either way, you're choosing what we're eating and I will be cooking one way or the other." Sakura said while attempting to beat Nasty Gnorc for something like, the tenth time. Syaoran laughed, "Oh wow. I don't know-marinated steak I guess." He laughed again. "Get the ingredients out and I'll start in a moment." She said, beating the big fat ugly green guy that had been pissing her off for the last three and a half hours. "O…k then…" Syaoran said, standing up and walking over to the cupboard and pulling out the things and then opening the fridge.
That night felt different; Sakura knew that it physically, was just like any other night. But something was very different; she could sleep in his arms knowing that he loved her for who she was. Not for her looks. "Syaoran…?" she whispered his name, wondering if he was still awake. "Mm?" he replied lazily. "When will I be able to go back to work?" she asked. "When your doctor thinks you're well enough." He replied. "I thought that's what you'd say…" she trailed off into her own thoughts, into her past once again. Syaoran rolled over to face her and she opened her eyes to see his eyes staring right into hers-they looked at her knowingly, and she knew she had to tell-but of course, he'd never ever tell anyone else and Sakura knew that. She sighed, "Sakura, what's wrong?" Syaoran asked, beginning to worry. "I guess I'm a little worried about what will happen when I go back is all. Or perhaps I should just qui-
"Don't quit your job Sakura. Can you remember why you wanted to be in the BAU?"
Sakura was at a loss for words; she couldn't remember the last time she'd been asked that question. "It was when my mother died…" she began, her eyes beginning to tear up. "My father and I were the two that survived that accident on the highway. Before we were hit, I saw two men in two different cars on either side-it was brief, but it was there. They made some sort of eye contact with each other, and then all of a sudden, the brakes gave out and my mother lost control of the car. The car ended up in two halves after crashing into a tree…by the time the authorities and ambulance services arrived…mum had died…the police wouldn't believe me when I said that there were two men were behind it…they just said that I was stressed and I had a very bad case of fright, pushing me, a five year old, out of the station and not even bothering to listen to me. I looked back into my family history…there were murders or unexplained deaths that occurred every four years in the Kinomoto line. Even though I was only five, I had more information on a single case in two days than an officer would within a year. It was then that I vowed I was going to become part of the FBI BAU. I will find that son of a bitch." Sakura cried. Syaoran couldn't believe it. Fai had never mentioned something of the sort, and neither had Yuui-perhaps they didn't realise that there was a definite pattern there, but then why hadn't Sakura not spoken to them about it? "Sakura…oh my god…" Syaoran whispered, hugging her tightly, wishing he knew if there was some way that he could help her. "I guess all I can really say is that they start with the youngest from each generation…but there are some things that even I don't know. I won't confront Yuui or Fai about it because they'll want me protected at all times; I'd feel like a caged bird, my movements and every action being watched because I might be in danger." Sakura's voice turned icy. I wonder if that's how she felt when she had been held in a cell for five years. The thought ran through Syaoran's head over and over again. "No one will lay a finger on you as long as I'm alive." Syaoran's tone of voice was completely serious, and could be considered deadly. "I'm sorry…" Sakura whispered, smiling into his bare shoulder. "What for?" he asked. "The first time you meet me I'm a complete psycho, and now we're in a relationship that we have to keep secret from the hospital employees excluding certain colleagues. I complain about my life to you and cry, making a mess of your bed that you so kindly let me stay in even if you want to be alone." Syaoran listened to her list that just came rolling off her tongue, and found that he had to place a finger to her lips to quieten her. "Shh; I'm not bothered." He said softly, looking at her with his deep amber eyes. "But-
"I'm happy to be with you. Don't go downgrading yourself-it makes me sad." He smiled.
"…alright." Sakura gave in, happily snuggling up to him.
Fai, Yuui, and Kurogane-who had Tomoyo hanging off his arm-looked up as nurse Chii walked through the door of Fai's office looking rather exhausted. She flopped herself onto the couch that the blonde always liked to have in his office to keep it more casual looking. "I'm exhausted from my night shift." She heaved, sprawling herself out all over the couch. "At least you don't have to work today…" Fai muttered. "What was that?" Chii bit back. "Nothing!" Fai jumped; Chii could get real scary when she was tired or just pissed off in general. "I wonder if Syaoran and Sakura have gotten together yet." Yuui smirked. "I doubt it will be anytime soon, I mean with Sakura's recovery and all." Fai said, staring at his girlfriend who was snoring on the couch. "Well Mister tough man, what do you think?" Yuui directed his question towards Kurogane who twitched at the name he'd just been called by. "As long as she's happy I really don't care." He grunted. Chii opened her eyes and glared at the tall man. "Boooring." She sang across the room before rolling over and beginning to snore again. Her fluffy ears twitched in as someone approached the door. "What the hell was that for!?" the gruff guy asked. Fai laughed as Yuui poked him; Kurogane couldn't really do much as he had his fiancé hanging off one arm and wouldn't let go. "Wow, what do you know?" Fai smirked, amused by the little scene unfolding before him.
Everyone stopped as they heard a knock on the door followed by a voice. "Can I come in?" it was Syaoran. "Yep." Fai's reply came quickly. "Good, can someone open the door; I kind of have some luggage." He muttered. Fai looked at Yuui who was trying to contain his laughter; the blonde walked over and opened the door; Syaoran walked through the door with Sakura attached to his back, still half asleep. "Well it seems we have a couple in the room." Fai said with special emphasis on the word 'couple'. "Sakura confessed first didn't she!?" Chii had jumped of the couch and put herself in the position where she was squatting but had the left leg stretched out to the side completely with her hands in a gunning position. "Figures you'd know." Syaoran muttered. At that moment, everyone's jaw dropped, their mouth's hanging wide open in complete and utter surprise except for Chii who was looking very pleased with herself.
All Sakura did was murmur something in her sleep; "You cut the apples wrong…"
Did everyone like the ending to this chapter? I was amused. Please leave a review!
