Chapter26

Kiss Me Not's

"Sakura ...Sakura. Come one Sakura wake up!"

"Huh." Sakura awoke to someone yelling her name.

"Sakura?"

"Am I in heaven?"

"No." Someone said with a laugh.

Sakura opened her eyes. Kasumi stood over her.

"Welcome to Caitlyn's palace." Kasumi said with a smile as she helped her off the ground. She looked up to a large white palace that was glowing with beauty. They were standing in the middle of a big garden. "If you think the out side is great you will love the inside."

"What happened?" Sakura said looking around at everyone who all seemed to be just as dumbfounded as she was.

"The door's close in and disappear. The doors get to a certain point and become invisible and just past right through you. So it doesn't kill you. But... Yes it does smash you a little and I have to admit every time you do it the pain seems to get worse and worse but it's the only way in."

Sakura looked around. Eriol was holding a still shaken Tomoyo. She was whispering something to him as tears poured out of her eyes freely. "I'm sorry Tomoyo I wish you would have told me sooner." Eriol said softly as he held her closer.

Sakura disregarded what she heard and looked over to Justin and Syaoran. Who were standing over Meilin as she fanned Kiki's face with her hand.

"Was I the only one who passed out?" Sakura said finally seeing that everyone was alive and well. "Well besides Ki" She added at the last moment.

"Yup just you and Kiki. But you only lost it because the card took a lot of your energy. But Kiki panicked. She had a nice little panic attack. And I think she when out before any of the real pain started." Kasumi smiled "She's lucky."

"Well then how did I awake so soon usually I'm out for hours after losing so much energy." Sakura said with a puzzled face.

"I believe that your friend past you some of his energy when you passed out." Kasumi said looking up at Syaoran. "You would think your loving boyfriend would have been there for you."

"He's not my boyfriend. He's my betrothed fiancé and I don't love him." Sakura said softly.

Kasumi nodded understanding what she meant. "I knew he wasn't your type."

"You... I should rip you apart." Kiki screamed loudly as she got up from the ground.

"Hey calm down I told you things aren't always what they seem here." Kasumi said with a guilty expression on her face.

"Oh but you couldn't warn us about the doors. You couldn't have told us that hey were going to close in on us huh?"

"Look I'm sorry. You're okay though... So everything worked out fine." She said in a perky voice.

"Okay you call that okay!"

"Come on Kiki." Syaoran said grabbing her arm and pulling her to him lets take a minute to calm down. He gave her some reassuring eyes.

"Okay whatever." She said as they started walking away from the others. "Syaoran I think I'm losing it." Kiki said softly as they walked to a near by tree. She leaned on the tree and sighed. "I don't think I can handle all this."

"It's okay." He said pushing her brown hair out of her face. "Everything will work out okay in the end. You are just having really bad luck out here."

"Yea tell me about it." She tied her hair back into a ponytail. "What about you. How are you doing?"

He pushed his hands through his unruly hair and sighed. "I'm starting to except that... "He looked up at the sky as if he was asking for the strength to say what he wanted to say. He looked back at Kiki. "That I can't have Sakura any more."

"But Syaoran she loves you and you know that."

"But I don't want to fight over her any more. Every time I get her she just runs back to him. Like a lost dog going home to there master."

"Syaoran don't say that. You know she doesn't want him."

"Are you sure? I mean Ki. She lets him kiss her now. And even worse she lets him do it in front of me."

"So what are you saying Syaoran?"

"As much as I hate to say it... I want to move on." He said looking in her eyes. "I need to live I'm losing my mind with out her. Kiki I don't know what to do." He said finally burring his head in his hands.

"Syaoran?"

"I'm sorry Kiki I shouldn't have."

"No it's okay." She said pulling him into a hug. "I would be hurt and confused too if I were you.

Syaoran hugged her back. "Thanks Ki."

"Hey Syaoran, Kiki were ready to go."Kasumi yelled

Kiki and Syaoran let each other go. Syaoran smiled at her as he said "Come on Ki." He held out his hand to her. "Can't keep everyone waiting."

She blushed lightly. "But why not? They aren't in a rush are they?"

"No I suppose not."

"Syaoran?" Kiki said with a sweet smile.

"Huh?"

"I wish I could do something to make you feel better." She said pushing the hair out of his face.

"Ki I... please you have to understand."

"What?" she said softly

"I know your not gonna believe what I'm saying but I want you to kiss me."

She stepped back. "No way. What about Sakura."

"I can't play this game with Sakura. I need someone."

"Whoa why me? Where did this come from?"

"I don't know. You just have been there for me lately and I can't get you out of my head sometimes I feel like I'm falling away from Sakura. I just need to forget"

"Sakura... She's... I can't do this to her...You love her." Kiki said backing away slowly.

You remember that night we came home completely wasted and we almost….he stopped looking at her "or I almost took advantage of you?"

"I wouldn't say you were taking advantage of me. I wanted it just as bad as you did." She said looking to the ground.

"You said you felt something different between us." He said suddenly.

"I did but... It's different now."

"Is it?"

"You're just confused you don't want me really."

"But I do." He said walking towards her.

"Syaoran don't do this okay. I can't...We can't ...This can't." She was cut off by him pressing his lips to hers. She tried to push away but then she got taken over by a fluttery sensation in her stomach. She deepened the kiss loving the taste of his lips. He pulled her to him holding her steady as he started to place kisses down her neck.

"Syaoran." She moaned in pleasure. He slowly brought his hand under her shirt squeezing her breast in his hands. She moaned and giggled as she flung her arms around his neck. He quickly picked her up and she wrapped her legs around his waist as he pushed her back against the tree they were standing by.

"Syaoran" She moaned out again. His hand made its way underneath her skirt and he grabbed her panties.

"Syaoran" She said grabbing his arm and stopping him.

Syaoran moved his hand back realizing what he was doing. He put her down softly and she pulled her skirt down quickly.

"Kiki I." He said covering his face.

Kiki's face turned red. "Whoa I umm I'm sorry I couldn't help it I just have this urge too." She said looking in his eyes. "It's been a long time since I last….." She said nervously stopping mid sentence.

"It was weird Ki…"

"What?" she said cutting him off.

He saw her face and understood immediately "No…No not you" he said softly. "You were amazing" he said looking in her eyes. "It was weird all of the emotions that I felt that night came to me all at one and I couldn't control it. It was strange."

"I know what you mean I felt it too." She sighed "It seems like we have another problem." She said playing with her hair. Syaoran stared at her for a minute.

"Yeah umm." he said softly "Maybe we should get back to the others." He held out his hands to her once more.

"Yeah okay" She said grabbing his hand as her cheeks became redder. They walked back across the yard hand in hand. Kiki couldn't help but stumble as she felt a cold feeling run through her body. 'This can't be a good feeling.' She thought to her self as she kept walking.

"Finally hear they come." Kasumi said seeing Syaoran and Kiki coming from the northern garden.

"Oh no." Tomoyo said softly.

"What?" Eriol questioned. He looked up at the two coming back hand in hand. "Crap." Syaoran and Kiki were holding hands and looking at each other with a nervous dreamy stare.

"What the hell is Syaoran doing?" Meilin said with a disgusted look.

"Damn you Ki." Justin said under his breath as he grabbed Sakura's arm. "Can I talk to you for a minute Sakura?" Justin said trying to distract Sakura from the upcoming sight.

Meilin ran up to Syaoran and grabbed him by the ear. "What the hell are you doing?"

"Meilin ow stop."

"Are you losing your natural mind you cannot do this."

"Meilin you have to understand I couldn't control myself. It was so strange like all these emotions just came over me. Justin and I promised each other that she would be a friend to us and... one night I couldn't help myself. We almost…"

"Syaoran you're only hurting yourself." She said cutting him off. "Look Sakura loves you and you love her. It seems to me that while we were in Japan you were in China with all those girls trying to suppress all of your feelings and pain. You forgot that there is someone in this world who truly loves you. Okay so you and Kiki have a thing for each other but is it worth losing someone that you truly love?"

"Meilin I didn't want to kiss her at first….."

"At first?" she questioned him.

"I just felt this sudden urge all of a sudden and it just happened. I wanted her so badly"

Meilin shook her head. "Forget it. I don't want to know anymore. Think about what I said about Sakura." She said getting up. "Kiki are about to have a little talk." Meilin said as she walked off toward Kiki.

"Meilin you have to believe me." He yelled to her as she walked away hastily. 'I felt like I was being controlled'

"Hey Kasumi seeing that we are having a little bit of a problem maybe we should stay out here and get things situated before we go met Caitlyn." Eriol said with pleading eyes.

"Yes of course." There are plenty of gardens for you all to talk and get together in. I will notify the guard that you will be on the property."

"Thank you."

"I'll be back in the morning is that okay?"

"Yes. Thanks Kasumi."

She nodded as she turned to walk off toward the castle.

Tomoyo walked up behind him. "Eriol maybe you should talk to him."

"I will." he said going to find Syaoran.

"I guess I'll go find Sakura." Tomoyo said to her self as she walked the other way. She put her hand over her stomach. "Oh not again" she said as she ran to a near by bush. 'I wish this would just be over.' she thought as she threw up every thing she had eaten over the day.

Eriol found Syaoran sitting under a tree with his hands in the hair.

"What's going on man?" Eriol said as he sat down beside him.

"I love Sakura you know I do. But I felt like I was being controlled. I couldn't stop myself. I just..."

"So you didn't want to kiss Kiki."

"No I didn't….I mean I did but I couldn't control myself. It's like my past came up and bit me and my body just went with it."

"Okay well let's bring everyone together. Cause if there is someone controlling anyone I could figure out who it is easier if we were all together."

"Alright let's go back."

After a couple of minute everyone was back together and situated everyone sat around in the eastern garden.

"Lets just chill tonight everyone get some rest okay? We have had a long day we will see Caitlyn tomorrow morning. Okay?" Eriol said as he sat down around the fire.

"Yeah." everyone said in unison

"Come on Sakura you look pooped let go to sleep." Ethan said grabbing her hand and pulling her off toward there tent."

Syaoran watched as they entered the tent together. "I swear I'm going to kill him as soon as I get the chance."

"Syaoran." Meilin said softly.

"I know calm down. I'm going to go take a walk. He said as he walked off n to the deep garden.

"Guy's." Kiki said once Syaoran left and was out f ear shot.

"Yeah Ki." Justin said softly looking up at her.

"I know you all hate me for what happened today. And I swear..." she wiped a tear form her eyes "I would never ever try to hurt there relationship Syaoran loves her so much. I couldn't do that to him he's one of my best friends.

"We know Kiki." Meilin said giving her a hug.

"Yeah it's okay we understand." Tomoyo said with a smile.

"Don't beat yourself up about it we know there is nothing but a strong friendship between the two off you." Justin said looking at her. Kiki nodded she felt guilty of the secret her and Syaoran had together. She knew that they had feelings for each other for a long time but Justin also liked her once upon a time and Syaoran had told her that he and Justin promised each other she would always remain a friend to avoid any controversy. There drunken night was there only encounter but after that the sexual tension was at an all time high for them. She was so happy for her friend when he found Sakura again. He was happy and she was happy for him. She believed that there feelings for each other had just disappeared. 'I guess I was wrong'

"Hey guys."

Kiki's head snapped up bringing her out of her thoughts.

"Sakura!" Tomoyo said with a smile.

"Can't sleep. So what's up? What are you talking about?"

"Nothing. Just conversation." Meilin said with a smile.

"Well can I get in the conversation?"

"Well actually I have a question for you." Eriol said quickly

"Well what is it."

"How do you feel? I mean don't you want to be with Syaoran?"

"Eriol you know I do. I just can't"

"Doesn't it hurt you to see him suffer?" Kiki said giving her a confused look. "I know you can't feel his pain. Syaoran is so... so...so good at covering it up. But Sakura today I felt that pain and it hit me like a hard brick…" Kiki sighed. "He always keeps his feelings bottled in." She said looking away from Sakura ashamed of what she and Syaoran did earlier.

"Oh Kiki..." Sakura said softly "I cry myself to sleep every night. You have no idea how much I want to be with him. But at the same time I have no choice but to be Ethan. Look, I know he's hurting but so am I. You don't know what it feels like to have someone kiss you and hold you and you don't even love him. I deal with that everyday and on top of that I know the one person that does love me is hurting so badly I can hardly bare it. You think I don't know... But I do." Sakura ended softly looking deep into the fire. They all sat in silence for a couple of minutes before Tomoyo finally broke the silence.

"I'm sorry I wish we could do something about it." Tomoyo said softly.

"Shhh" Meilin said as she nudged Tomoyo. "Here he comes."

Syaoran was walking back to them his hands stuffed in his pocket. His face was soft and clam looking. He glanced at Sakura briefly before walking up to Kiki and offering his hand. She looked at him nervously. "Come on take a walk with me" he said softly looking her in the eye. She took his hand and he pulled her off the log she was sitting on and on to her feet. "Ladies first" he said extended is arm out to his left. She smiled and walked in front of him. He stuffed his hands in his pocket and followed after her not looking back. They walked in silence side by side until they could barely see their camp fire in the distance.

"I'm sorry about earlier." Syaoran said giving her a look. "Just when all the weirdness was gone" He said with a smile. Kiki rolled her eyes?

"It was gone?" she said with a smile.

"Shut up." He said pushing her.

She stumbled and laughed. "Stop it was just a joke"

He smiled "Whoever was controlling us sure did pick the perfect situation to mess up"

"Yea well it was one night." She said throwing her hair over her shoulder. "And we promised to forget and never speak of it again."

"I know but when I kissed you. That's all that popped into my head."

She smiled "You too huh?"

"Yea and I feel terrible."

"Yea well me too. I love Sakura she is such a sweet heart. I know that we could be really good friends sometime but now…." She said pausing. "I just don't want things to change. I know you love her the most. You don't look at anyone the way you look at her." She grabbed his hand and stopped walking. "I don't want what happened to us to ruin the both of you."

"Yea like you are the thing ruining us right now." He said with a scowl.

"Yea I know Ethan is a pain but I know you two will figure everything out."

"Yea maybe." He said. "Just promise me that you won't start acting funny. This doesn't change anything you're still my best friend and I love you all the same."

"I promise I wont change and I love you too" she said with a smile. Come here he said pulling her into his arms. She wrapped her arms around him.

"I will say this though…. you are a great kisser. I mean I thought you were before but I was drunk. Thanks for confirming that for me."

"Syaoran" She said pushing his away. "That was so not called for."

"What it's true." He said as he started walking back to camp.

"OMG" she said as she ran up to catch him.

He smiled when she finally got beside him she pulled his arm making him turn to her. She smiled at him.

"I don't know…. I think I have had better."

"What?" he said as she laughed.

"Joke! I'm sure you know how great a kisser you are. I bet all your whores tell you so." She said with a smirk. "I have a man whore best friend." She said as she ran off toward camp.

"What?" he yelled as he chased her. She laughed hard stumbling as she ran. They were a few feet from camp when he caught her. He ran up behind her and grabbed her around her waist and picking her up.

"Take it back." He said as he started to tickle her. She started to laugh hard. Everyone around the fire turned to look at then after hearing her excessive laughter.
"Kiki what did you do" Laughed Justin. Throwing a stone at her as Syaoran dragged her laughing body into camp.

"Okay okay. I take it back" She choked out.

"Good." He said as he sat her back where he fond her on the little log. "Thanks for the laugh" he turned to the others. "So what were you guys talking about?"

"Nothing for once just nothing." Meilin said giving him a smile.

"Okay" he said softly as he walked off to his tent.

After he finally got back in his tent Eriol finally spoke.

"Trust me the first line of business when we get home is to get this so called engagement off." Eriol said reassuringly. Give Sakura a sweet smile.

"So that's why you didn't tell him what you were talking about." Kik said looking ay everyone.

They all nodded. Sakura dropped her head and sighed loudly. "It won't work Kyros will never change his mind."

"I will do whatever I have to do for the both of you Sakura." Eriol said quickly.

"Hey don't beat your self up if it doesn't work out. Kyros seems to be stuck on making Syaoran mad. Like I said I'm sure he wont change his mind" Sakura said softly.

"It's not that. It's just that the card mistress and the chosen one, the future leader of the Li clan. People would be most afraid of your power. You guys are like an unbeatable team."

"No we are beatable with out you guys?"

"Thanks Sakura." Justin said with a smile.

"Where is he?" Sakura said looking around.

"He said he needed to lie down."

"Oh" Sakura said getting up. "I'm sure he won't mind if I come see him." She smiled goodnight guys.

"What you're staying with him tonight?" Meilin said with a sly smile.

"Well I don't think he should have to be without me tonight." She said with a smile.

"You're giving Ethan anther opportunity to get his ass beat." Justin said with a smile.

"He going to have a fit when he realizes your with Syaoran in the morning."

"He'll be alright." She said with a smile

"Goodnight Sakura." Tomoyo said happily

Sakura smiled as she turned to go to Syaoran.

"So tomorrow morning is going to be real interesting." Meilin said with a laugh."

"I put 20 dollars on Syaoran." Justin said with a smile.

"There's no bet you know his going to win." Meilin said loudly. "Shit he wants to kill him."

"That's true." Justin said as a matter of fact.

Everyone laughed. "How about a midnight snack." Tomoyo said with a smile.

"Yeah that sounds good." Eriol said as he rubbed his stomach. "For some reason I felt like I haven't ate in days."

Tomoyo smiled at him. "Thank you." She said softly so one else could hear.

"No problem babe." Eriol said back with a smile.

Sakura opened the tent. And walked in slowly trying not to make a lot of noise. She crawled up next to Syaoran sleeping body. She pushed the hair away from his closed eyes. 'He's always looked so adorable while he is sleeping.' She kissed him on his cheek softly. Letting her aura surround her she grabbed his hand passed some of her energy through him. He stirred in his sleep.

"Sakura." He said still half sleep.

"Hey baby." She said softly as she ran her hands through his hair. "I miss you."

"You do" He said softly with his eyes still closed.

Sakura snuggled in beside him. "Yes I do." she said grabbing his hand and bringing it to her face. "I miss you a lot." she said as she kissed his finger tips.

"Really?" She said as he took his hand away from her. He caressed her cheek softly. He looked in her eyes trying to forget what had happed between him and Kiki earlier that day. He smiled up at Sakura.

"Come here." He said as he gently pulled him closer to him. "I missed you too." He said kissing her softly.

"I'm sorry about what's been going on between us. I know we are both just trying to cope with everything that is going on."

"Well how are you doing with that." he said softly.

"Well for your information it's not working to well. How are you dealing?"

He thought of Kiki again guilt entering his mind again. "I'm making it work."

"Well I feel terrible."

"Oh how come that doesn't surprise me?"

"Nothing surprises you Syaoran."

"Only you do Sakura. I already know Ethan is a prick no need to tell me."

Sakura smiled. "I have an urge to scream out. I want to be with you so badly."

"I know you do but it will never happen."

"Oh, yes, yes it is." She said getting up and walking out of the tent."

"Sakura where are you going." Syaoran said as he got up and followed her out of the tent.
