Sequel to Christmas: Part II
~*Flasback of what happened in the last part*~
"Me and Kero can sense some sort of magic around us. Kero believes that it's black and..."
"Did you just say 'black'?" "Yeah." "Is Kero sure it's black?" "Well, at least he thinks so. Why?"
"You better watch out Sakura. It can get dangerous out there." "Yeah, that's what Kero said too. I think that..." (A long pause)
"Yeah, you think what?"
(No answer)
"Sakura?"
(No answer)
"SAKURA???!!!!!!!!"
(No answer)
"NOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
(On the phone)
"Sakura, answer me!!! Please, don't go!!!", he blurted out sobbing.
"Oh, sorry Syaoran. The plug came out! Ahehehe.", she said nervously. (A.N.*HA!*)
Syaoran sighs in relief.
"You scared me there Sakura!"
"Oh sorry!!!! I didn't mean to! Kero accidently tripped over the plug while he was dreaming about dessert."
"The stuffed animal???!!! I should've known!"
"Syaoran!!!!"
"Ok, ok, ok. Sorry. I actually meant Kero!"
"That's better. Anyways... (A.N. Did I kill any of u from the suspense? You must have thought something happened to Sakura. Right????!!!!)
As I was saying.... I don't know whether to go there or not. What do you think I should do?"
"Sakura, like I said, be careful. This is powerful magic that we're talking about. It could be really, really..."
"Yeah... dangerous", completing Syaoran's sentence, "You said that already."
"I know Sakura. I just don't want you to get hurt. Well, you know what I'll do?"
"No, tell me." "I'm coming to Japan the next flight available and I'll be there with you."
"That's very nice of you Syaoran and I'll be waiting for you here, BUT... WE HAVE A SITUATION HERE AND YOU CAN'T COME HERE TILL MIDNIGHT, NOW CAN YOU? THEN TELL ME WHAT TO DO, OR I'LL FREAK OUT!"
"Sakura, please calm down." 'The magician must have put a spell on her and the letter must've had it in it. That's why she must be acting like that.'
"Hey, Li-kid?" "Yeah, stuffed animal?" "Hey!!! Watch it kid!" "Yeah, whatever. What is it?" "Sakura's not feeling well and you have to get here as soon as you can. Here, repeat this spell after me."
"What??? Ok, sure. Go ahead."
(Kero is saying the one's in the italic writing and Syaoran is talking in the regular way. This format is just for the incantation.)
"Mighty magic"
"Mighty magic"
"Lend me your power true"
"Lend me your power true."
"Transport me into Sakura's room"
"Transport me into Sakura's room"
"Wow!!! It worked!"
"Well, what did you think kid???!!!"
"Sakura, what happened?"
"I don't know. Suddenly I had this wierd feeling, and then I just fell. I don't know how. I just lost my balance and then I couldn't get up."
"Well, here. Let me help you get up." Syaoran puts his hand underneath Sakura's waist and then lifts her in his arms. He gently places her onto her bed. They were both crimson red. "Their, feeling better?", he asked.
"Yeah, thanks."
"Now tell me what you felt when this power overcame you."
"Well, I started feeling kinda dizzy and then while I was talking to you I felt like someone was inside me and did all the talking while I just held the phone. I could never be rude to you!" *sobs*
"It's ok Sakura. I know you would never do that. No, please don't cry. We have to figure out this mystery man way before 10 days end."
"Yeah, that we have to do", chimed in Kero.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Sakura's place again...
"How you feeling, squirt?" (Wanna guess who this is?)
"Just fine now, after the soup that you made."
"Trying to get a favor I believe."
"Arrggg!!! Can't even compliment someone!"
"Calm down squirt. Your friends are here and they're waiting for you downstairs. And just this time, I'm letting that brat in 'cause he helped you! Get it?"
"Well, that was the favor I was going to ask you, but u fulfilled my wish without me even asking!" She said happily.
"See, I told you so!"
"Arrg!!! Oh... come on in Chiharu. Rita, is that you? Long time, no see!"
"Yeah, well, after me and Mr. Terada moved to north side of the town, I barely came here and the time when I finally come to meet you, you become sick."
"Well, I'm sorry about that. I just have fever, that's all."
"But Tomoyo told me that you had a cold", said Chiharu.
"Well, you see... ahehehe...I just had fever today. You know, cold is one of the symptoms to fever. Ahehehe", Sakura replied quickly and then sighed, 'Phew!'
"Oh yeah, well here's something from me and Mr. T(Terada)."
"And this is from me and Yamazaki." (Yes, Chiharu/Yamazaki fans, you heard right!)
"Oh you guys, you didn't have to do this."
"Oh come on Sakura, this is nothing. Just accept this as our token of affection", said Chiharu.
"Yeah, Sakura. They are your favorite flowers", said Madison who was just smiling at Sakura and then looking at Syaoran. There was a *twinkle* in her eyes, most nicely interpreted by Sakura as if they were saying 'where did he come from?' and the reply was sent by her eyebrows motioning 'you know!'. (A.N Now where did I get the eyebrow and eye thing from? Weird!)
"Well, we have to go. 'You know who' is waiting outside", Rita said. Her whole face was crimson due to the enormous blush on her cheeks that was slowly spreading throughout the white parts of her face, causing her to heat up. "Well, gotta go", and then said thinking, 'or I'll just blow up due to the heat!!!'
"Well, there's Yamazaki down there honking his car. Sorry he couldn't come up but we have to go out of town and will probably come home late. And you know...."
Sakura knew that after Chiharu's marriage with Yamazaki, her fondness of story-telling had increased, though it wasn't like Yamazaki's, but...it was still story-telling.
As Chiharu said going on and on, "... and that's why I have to leave. So, sorry. And bye Sakura, take care. Bye Tomoyo and Li!"
"I thought she'd never leave!", Tomoyo said with a suppressed chuckle.
"She sure has become like Yamazaki, you know", said Syaoran. This was his first sentence that he had said while they were at Sakura's house. And that caused both Sakura and Tomoyo to stare at him. "What??? Did I say something wrong?" "No, not really Syaoran", said Sakura. "Nevermind, huh? Let's concentrate on this mysterious character that we have here."
"Let's", said S+S.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
11:58:09 p.m
(hr/min/sec)
"Well, Tomoyo didn't come. She just had to go with her mom, huh? She said something about a meeting at the place that she owns."
"Even though she didn't come herself, she just had to give us these costumes!" Syaoran said as he looked over his and Sakura's clothes. They both were wearing black as it was night time, so that people were unable to see them. Sakura wore a black dress which reached her ankles, and had pretty cherry blossoms bordering it. Syaoran on the other hand was wearing a cute, black T-shirt and in the middle there was a picture of a wolf. And he had on a black jeans and on the back were two pockets, one of them signed L.S. He also had a black jean jacket on.
"Maybe the mysterious man won't come. I mean, maybe he's afraid that we'll discover who he is."
"Sakura, we can't chicken out now. We're already at the park and he should be here anytime now, that is if he's punctual."
"Oh I'm punctual alright", they heard a feamle voice say. Syaoran glanced at his watch. It was showing:
12:00:01 a.m.
(hr/min/sec) (A.N. 1 seconds because she said that line!*~)
"It's a girl Sakura."
"And I thought all along that it was some guy!" "Yeah."
*The voice clears her throat*. "Now as I was saying, I wouldn't come out and show my face to you. This is the only opportunity right now to talk to me. So, listen carefully. And you, "warrior boy", remove that hand from her face. I won't hurt your precious jewel. Well, atleast not yet."
Syaoran reluctantly and slowly moved his hand from in front of Sakura, but...
he did keep a hold on her. He was worried that she couldn't be able to control herself or she'd fall like the last time. And he didn't want that to happen again.
"That's a bit better. Now, I see that you two have found out that I have magical powers and that even of black. That is quite good that you, Li-kun, or as some other close people call you, Syaoran, know a lot about black magic. And I see that this knowledge might do you quite good. And maybe, according to you, you may have an advantage. But, you haven't seen my powers yet. And yeah, if you tell anyone else about this meeting other than that video-girl, you'll have the same kind of reaction that you had when you told Syaoran, but a lot more than that. I wanted this kid to know more about me, that's why I let you tell Kero and Syaoran. You are the main part of my plan Syaoran. Now, go!!! If you ever mention..."
"Yeah, we know. We know." They both said.
"And one more thing, that costume of yours didn't do very good. I could still see you."
Sakura and Syaoran sweatdropped.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
On their way back...
"I don't get it Syaoran. She said that you were part of her plan. Please don't leave me Syaoran."
"I won't Sakura, I won't."
"So, are you going to stay here forever Syaoran?" Sakura asked excitedly.
"I don't have an answer to that question yet." "Ohhh," she sighed depressingly.
"It's cold and Tomoyo made me wear a dress at this time of the hour. Br-r-r-!!!" She said as she was shivering.
Syaoran took off the jacket that he was wearing and put it on Sakura's shoulders.
Sakura felt something warm on her, so she looked up. She saw her loved one placing his jacket on her gently. She took the jacket from his hands and placed it behind her and then took it all the way towards Syaoran's shoulder. That way, they were both in the same jacket, not one leaving each other and feeling the warmth at the same time. Sakura placed her head on his shoulder. They both looked at each other in contentment.
For a long time, neither of them spoke. Syaoran then tried to start a conversation with her, but no matter what they talked about they ended up talking about the mysterious man, who was now a mysterious woman. So, they decided to forget about it until tonight and then meet up with Tomoyo at her house tomorrow.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Sakura's house...
S+S reached the porch and they smiled at each other. Both noticing in each others eyes that the opposite didn't want to leave. So, they just stood there looking at each other. Their gaze met at last and they stared at each others eyes adoring their strength and beauty. They fell into a deep trance not knowing what would happen next. Time passed by. Or should I say that time stopped as they leaned towards each other and kissed. What happened next, they didn't know. Until...
"Hey, monster! Don't you want to come in? Or do you just want to kiss that boyfriend-brat of yours." (Guess who it is?) "I--just--want--to--stay--here--Tori," she replied between kisses. "Well, that's not going to happen!" Tori went up towards the couple and broke them apart. "Tori!!!!!" Sakura cried. "That's okay Sakura. I'll meet you tomorrow, okay?", Syaoran said.
"Yeah, see you tomorrow," she replied.
"Well, no. She's not going to see you tomorrow, you brat!", but the so-called 'brat' was already in the shadows.
"What is it with you Tori?"
"I'm just trying to protect you little sister."
"Well, I may be your little sister, but I am not little anymore. I am 20 years old. And there are somethings in my life that I don't want you to interject in."
Tori's heart broke. He was now wearing a sad expression on his face. He thought, 'she doesn't love me anymore. And that's all that brat's fault. I have to do something once and for all.' But his sister had already read and interpreted his expression.
"Tori, you know that I love you. It's just that I would like you to stop treating me like a kid. You and Yuki hang out together. I never object, do I? No, I don't. It's just that, I...I...really love Syaoran and he loves me back. I just want you to know, that no matter who comes in my life, I will never stop loving you. Ok?"
With that, she hugs his brother and he looks down at her.
"I know you love that brat, kaiiju, it's just that I don't want to lose you. Remember when he first came here, he was always picking on you. And..."
"I know that Tori, I know. But now, he's...changed. He's different. Totally like you, he doesn't want to lose me."
"Ok, ok, ok. Now go to bed, it's late already."
"Good night Tori."
"Good night," as he adds in his thoughts, 'my little kaiiju.'
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Sakura's room...
"Uhh... Sakura?", it was Kero.
"Yeah?" she replied.
"Your phone has been ringing since you got here."
"Oh...thanks Kero."
"uh...yeah."
RING! RING! RING!
"Hello?"
"Hi Sakura. Why didn't you pick up the phone?"
"Sorry Tomoyo, I was downstairs talking to Tori."
"Ohhh. I didn't know that."
"How do you know that I was at home right now?"
"Ahehehe...just a guess?"
"Ohhh...how'd your meeting go?"
"Uhh...Sakura. I have to go. My cell phone is ringing. Talk to you tomorrow, okay? Bye."
(Tomoyo hung up the phone)
"Yeah....bye," Sakura said goomily, "bye."
'Could it be? Could it be her? Could it be Tomoyo? She wasn't with us and even then she knew when I was at home and when I mentioned that, she hung up. Could it be her?'
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Ok, ok, ok. Sorry about the cliffhanger again. Now I realize why other authors wrote/write cliffhangers, 'to make the fic more interesting!!!!!' And sorry if you didn't like the incantation. I couldn't think of anything else! ^_^'
