Moonlight Festival
By Satashi
Part 2 of Walk This Way
"Wow....kireee...." Sakura clasp her hands infront of her chest and looked up at the stars. "Don't you think so Shaoran?"
"Huh? Eh, Sure." The boy looked down again at Sakura's hand. It was mere inches away from his and he still didn't have the guts to take it in his. Swallowing roughly he inched his hand closer to hers and almost made contact when Sakura shouted
"Hoeeee! " She gabbed Shaoran's jacket sleeve and pulled him over to the shooting gallery. "Shaoran! Can you get this for me?" She pointed up at a giant pink bear. After a few seconds passed she turned to look at Shaoran, who looked like he was having a heart attack." Ne, Shaoran, Daijobu desu ka?"
"Daijobu desu.... you just scared the living hell outta me, that's all " He grinned lightly at her and she smiled back playfully. "Which one? The pink one no doubt?" Sakura nodded cutely. "Yosha!" He slammed a hundred yen on the desk and the man gave him a gun.
"Knock down three out of the five targets and win the lovely lady a prize!"
"Shaoran grinned as he set his aim. "And if I get all five?"
The man laughed hearty. "If you get all five then the lady can have any prize she wants!"
"Then get the pink bear." Five rapid shots fired and five targets fell to the ground with air darts set almost perfectly in the center on each one. "To easy."
The man behind the booth blinked a few times at Shaoran and then smiled brightly and handed him the pink bear. "Here you go kiddo, you earned it."
"Arigato." Shaoran turned to Sakura and offered the bear. "For you, Sakura-chan."
"Domo arigato, Shao-chan!"
"Shao...Chan?" Sakura giggled happily and Shaoran was debating if he wanted to blush from embarrassment or be mad at the corny name. He decided to blush when she grabbed his sleeve again and drug him to the roller coaster.
Since daylight was shorter in the winter the sky was already dark by the time they got to the small roller coaster. The man who was running the thing told them that although it wasn't as big as most, it was the fastest made. Shaoran grinned at this and Sakura was changing her mind by the second.
When it came down to it Shaoran had pulled Sakura into the seat next to her and slammed the hand rail into place before she could get out. One of her hands formed a death grip on the bar and the other was tightly gripped onto Shaoran, who was enjoying this quite immensely. It had been a while since the last time he saw his cherry blossom act like the little girl he fell for so many years ago.
His memory was interrupted as the ride moved forward and Sakura shrieking things of 'Were gonna die!' 'I want off.' 'I don't deserve this!' Shaoran added to her terror by letting go of the hand rail and placing his hands behind his head and leaned back in the seat, giving her more room to be tossed about when the ride reached the top of the slope... and of course Shaoran placed them in the first seat so they would hang before sliding down.
Sakura screamed for her life as the rounded the corner and spiraled downward into a flip and a corkscrew. Shaoran yelled for the sheer enjoyment and sometime halfway through Sakura was hugging him and burying her head in to his chest, and for once, Shaoran enjoyed it for what it was worth instead of blushing.
When the ride slowed to a stop a teary eyed Sakura looked up at Shaoran and asked him if it was over, to which he informed her it was. They made their way back to the place where they placed her bear, Sakura a little shaken up from the ride and Li making fun of her when he could.
~**~
Sakura happily bit into her hamburger while Shaoran eat his hot dog slopped down with catsup. Each chattered happily together as they eat, mostly about nothing in particular. That is, until Shaoran asked how she talked her older brother into letting his little sister go over to his place.
"Easy." Sakura replied before sipping some of her drink. "I just told him I was going over to Tomoyo-chan's."
Shaoran chocked on his drink as gaped at the girl sitting in front of her. "You what!?"
"...Said I was over at Tomoyo-chan's house."
"Then why is Daidouji-chan sitting over there video taping us?" He pointed to a table not to far off. Sakura turned as saw her best friend wave her arms as if to say 'Just ignore me.'
"Well..." Sakura blushed. "I did kinda edspect her to do this since I told her I was going to your house.. Shaoran-kun? You okay?"
"To....Tou...Touy.... Touya...."Shaoran pointed behind Sakura. The girl in front of him turned and gasped when she saw Yukito and Touya walked together and talking.
"He's gonna kill me if he spots me here!" Shaoran said frantically. " I mean.. I don't want on your family's bad Side so a fight isn't what we need right now!"
Sakura nodded quickly and polished off her meal in record timing. Shaoran was finished with his just as quickly. Together they both ran off from that side of the festival and only slowed down when they were sure they were both safe. "Oni-chan would of strangled us if he saw us here..."
"You can say that again." Shaoran replied slightly winded. "Anyway.." he looked around. "Seems were back in the games section.."
His friend nodded and looked around before pulling him to a booth and trying to get a Chinese yo-yo. (Balloon filled with water with a rubber string tied to it so you can bounce it.) Her attempts were all but successful, and after the third time Shaoran decided to help her by getting one. Slowly he dipped the fishhook into the water and brought it up with he balloon on it. The trick was not to pull it up fast or else the water would make it bounce and fall off the small hook. A few moments later Sakura had a pretty red balloon and she wasted no time in slipping it around her finger. Now, however, Shaoran carried her bear over his shoulders. Both laughed as they made their way around winning prizes and snacking on random things. They were so caught up in their fun that they completely missed the dark clouds covering the stars. Their attention was diverted when Shaoran felt the first couple of rain drops on his face.
"Eh? Its raining." To prove his point the storm suddenly dropped bottom and drenched everyone around. Without thinking Shaoran grabbed her hand and led her into a dry spot. "If we walk around here we can get to my place without getting to wet..." He looked over at Sakura, who was anything but dry. "Well.... I won't get wet at least." He flashed her a smile and soon found himself pushed out into the rain.
~**~
Shaoran handed the soaking wet Sakura a towel and some of his cloths. "Your lucky if you didn't catch a cold. Its freezing outside."
Sakura blushed slightly as she adespted his cloths. "These won't stay on me."
Shaoran grinned at her in his own special way. "Just more eye candy for me. " Sakura blushed more and was about to give him her patented 'hoe' when he slightly pushed her into his room and closed the door. "Now get dressed before your brother finds out your not at Tomoyo's like you said and shoots me."
~**~
Shaoran was watching T.V. When Sakura came out of him room. He was now wearing sweat pants and a loose Tee-shirt. Sakura was clad in a light green tee-shirt and went a little past her knees and revealed more of her shoulders than most of her night shirts. The black pants she was given were warm and had a draw string on them so they stayed on fairly well, considering she had to roll the bottom up so she wouldn't trip.
"I went ahead and called Tomoyo-chan while I was in your room." Sakura stated as she sat down next to him. Well, actually she was almost at the other side of the small couch. Shaoran was about to take offence from that but didn't when he saw her bring her feet up so she was almost laying down. Her feet brushed against the side of his leg, making him blush slightly. "I told her that I was going to 'stay over at her house.' So that's what she'll tell Oni-chan if he calls.
"And what if I don't want you to stay over here?" Shaoran asked playfully as he tickled her feet, getting giggles from Sakura. This lasted until Sakura twisted and slid on top of Shaoran, pinning him onto the couch.
"You'd rather have me walk over there in the rain?" She pouted and gave him the 'I'm so cute you can't turn me down.' face. It worked just like she thought it would. Shaoran instantly blushed, stammered with his speaking, and nodded quick and long, just like little kids do. "So what movie we watching?" She picked herself off him and sat next to him when he got up.
" 'What lies beneath'." Shaoran answered.
"Is that..."
"Horrooooorrr..." Shaoran answered, giving his voice a creepy effect.
"Hoeeee......"
~**~
Shaoran liked watching her squirm, he really did. But this was just straight out hilarious. She was clutching to him with both her hands death gripped onto his shirt. Her eyes were wide with fear but she couldn't look away from the screen. Somewhere along the way Shaoran had found out he put his arm around her and Sakura leaned more onto him, liking how she fit against his frame.
When the movie was over it was already eleven o'clock. Shaoran yawned quietly and leaned back in to the couch. Sakura was still leaning against him scared out of her mind. "Well that was a good movie, ne Sakura-chan?"
Sakura shook her head violently and didn't let go of him. A bright streak of lightning lit up their room followed by a loud burst of thunder. After Sakura's scream died down and she opened her eyes the first thing she noticed was the darkness. The silence hit her next. "Sh....Shaoran-kun?"
"Un?"
"Why is there no light?"
"Black out, I guess."
Sakura pulled away from him slowly and sat on the couch and waited for her eyes to adjust to the light, or lack there of. When she could faintly see again she noticed Shaoran wasn't in front of her anymore. "Shaoran-kun? Shaoran-kun!?"
"Right here, Sakura-chan." She turned and saw a smiling Shaoran with a candle. "Come on, lets go into my room, there's not much to bump into in there." He extended his hand without thinking and let Sakura grasp it in hers before his blush came. Silently he lead her into his room and sat the candle down next to his bead.
"What now?"
"I guess we talk?"
~**~
Bright light awoke Sakura from her dream of Tokyo Tower and Clow cards. She sat up, letting an arm slip from her stomach and land on her lap. After stretching she looked next to her and saw a peaceful Shaoran sleeping next to her. The clock on his night stand was flashing midnight so she guessed it must be around eight or nine since she woke up on her own. She smiled happily and slid out of his bed and giggled when he reached our for the warmth that he had just lost.
Sakura walked happily into his kitchen and switched the lights on. A few minuets later Shaoran awoke to the smell of something good. Slowly he stretched out and yawned. Sliding out of his bed he padded into the kitchen and smirked to himself when he saw Sakura cooking breakfast.
Walking over behind her he placed his chin onto the top of her head and asked: "So now your cooking for me? Your gonna have to come over more often."
Sakura giggled and flipped the pancake expertly. Shaoran set the table for the two of them and they eat a happily.
"Ne, Shaoran-kun?"
Shaoran swallowed his food and blinked at her. "Un?"
"You wanted me to help you with your math, right?"
Shaoran almost choked on his drink. "Oh man! I completely forgot about that!"
Sakura broke out laughing.
~**~
Sunday night. Sakura is in her room laying on her bed reading a magna while Kero plays Street Fighter EX 3. Her stuffed animal that Shaoran had won her sat by her window. Just a normal night until Sakura jerks her head up and fell off the bed. "Clow card!"
Kero slipped in his game and 'GAME OVER' flashed across the screen. "You sure, Sakura?"
"Un!" Sakura nodded and grabbed her cell phone that Tomoyo had given her and dialed a familiar number. It rang twice before she got an answer
"Shaoran Desu."
"Shaoran-kun! Do you feel it?"
"Eh?" She heard some scuffling sounds and then a faint high pitched noise. "Clow Card!?"
"Un! I'll go ahead!"
"Sakura!"
Sakura paused, her hand hovering on the off button. "U-un?"
"...Wait for me. Just don't go by yourself. I'll be there ASAP." Click.
Sakura blinked at the phone as if she edspected it to tell her why his voice sounded different there. 'Anyway, I gotta call Tomoyo-chan.' She dialed another familer number and Tomoyo picked dup on the third ring.
"Hai, Tomoyo desu."
"Tomoyo-chan! Its a Clow Card!"
"I'll be there in a flash, Sakura-chan! I have the cutest thing for you to wear!"
Sakura sweat dropped. "To-Tomoyo-chan..."
~**~
Shaoran jumped into the tree next To Sakura's window and then hopped into the open frame. When he landed he looked up to see Tomoyo filming his dramatic entrance. He was wearing his card captor uniform, edsept remade to fit his current body frame. He stood up slowly and stared at Tomoyo with a weird look. "Where's Sakura-chan?" Tomoyo pointed to her left and Shaoran turned and blushed deep red. Sakura was wearing something like a blue one piece swimsuit with a white....cloak like thing wrapped around her chest and back, ending with two tails going almost to her feet with golden bells on each tip. She also wore a blue jesters cap with bells on the end of each tail it had. She held her wand in both her hands in front of her with her face almost glowing red. All in all she looked like she did when she fought Watery (episode 3)
Shaoran shook his head to clear it and Kero landed on Sakura's shoulder. "Lets get going."
The group nodded and Sakura pointed her cane toward the window. "Fly!" She jumped out the window just in time for the wings to spread out and let her hover there. "Shaoran-kun, Tomoyo- chan , hop on!"
Tomoyo nodded happily and jumped in front of her and gave Shaoran a cute look.
"I..uh... Three people would slow us down to much. Sakura-chan, let me borrow the jump card?"
Sakura looked disappointed for a second before tossing him a card. Shaoran Trust his sword at it and small wings appeared at his feet. "Yosh!" He leapt from the widow and landed at the gate. Sakura flew next to him and Shaoran took out his Lasin board. A small high pitched sound emitted from it as the two dots lined up and shot toward the park. "There." He leapt high into the air and landed on top of the neighboring house while Sakura and Tomoyo followed him in the air.
Touya entered Sakura's room with a small cake and a glass of milk and frowned. Her window curtains blew in the wind and his little sister was nowhere to be found. ". . . . ." He sat the cake down next to her bed and walked out, drinking her milk. ' Probably went over to Tomoyo's again without telling me...'

A/N:So how was it? Like before, review if you deem it worthy of your time. Next part will be out soon so check for it tomarow. And jsut to make it a cliff hanger, here is a teaser.
Teaser for part 3:
Shaoran thurst his sword down into the dirt at his feet and forced his head to concentrate on his target. "God of lightning decend!" He pointed at the beast and smiled wryly when the attack missed. The next thing he saw was the dirt rushing toward his face and blackness finally overtaking him.
"No! Shaoran!" Sakura cried out as she ran over to him and caught his
head and placed it into her lap. "You idiot... why did you do that...?
Shaoran...Shaoran, please don't leave me.... I need you.."
