Chapter 6
Nobody Wants To Be Lonely
~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~
"What the hell are you doing here?!?!?!" gasped Junko with a 'horrified' tone.
"Nothing, I'm just leaving right now until you decided to show up." returned the brown-haired male. "Now excuse me since I have other things to do" stepping out and towards the street ahead , hands are tucked within side pockets of his baggy cargo jeans never once looking back.
"Hold it Li Syaroan" turned the black-haired male a fierce look crossing his face.
Syaroan turned his head to look back at Junko, quite a little curious on what he wants now. "What do you want now? I'm leaving already right? So it should be good enough for you"
"Don't play 'cool' around me, I know what your up to, you want to steal my cherry blossom away from me, but trust me..she won't leave me for something like you."
"Excuse me? I wouldn't think so. 'Cherry Blossom' must be waiting for you so off with the likes of you" he grunted, lifting his chin a little higher into the air 'strutting' off into the evening.
"Humph, ignorant and insolent being he is, one day I swear I'll make him pay for his little wise cracks." muttered Junko quietly.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
The week was somewhat, silent for certain people while for other agitated. Sakura and Junko's relationship seemed to head down for a 'break' hence to Sakura's confusion of feelings but has only brought Junko to add another point onto his list as to why Li Syaroan should be 'punished'. Alas the people who are at least a little more happy then the others would be Tomoyo and Eriol, God knows how long their romance had been building up after Kaho Mizuki decided to be once more with Touya (this fic ain't just S+S romance! =þ). School dance coming up close but to this year the sensei has decided to be the one to pair up everyone of the class (let's pretend EVERYONE needs to have a date..)..
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
"Oh please please please don't let me get paired with Eriol-kun!! For Kami's sake!" teased Tomoyo in front of Eriol.
"Humph, Tomoyo-chan..I'll make sure you get paired up with me." snickered Eriol evilly.
"Fine then, if you say so" grumbled Tomoyo bluntly. "You're mean" she whined, giving a light 'peck' upon his cheek.
"Take your seats lovebirds" coughed the sensei as he continued to explain the way how the pairs would be picked out. "I have all of the boys names in bits of paper and they are all in this box, when I call out your name, and if you are really a girl.." the sensei joked, but terribly bad so everyone just sweat-dropped, "you come up to my desk and pick out a guy's name from the box without looking, that way everyone will have a date. Got it?"
"HAIIIIIIIIII!!!" chorused the girls of the class.
'I hope I get Li-kun!!!' was what most of the other girls had managed to scream since by some certain 'sources' of theirs Syaroan hasn't got a girlfriend. Syaroan only managed to sweat-drop and turn crimson at their outburst. The sensei gradually called out names of the girls each one slowly walking up to the sensei and picking up a piece of paper, opening the piece of paper slowly each one giving either a disappointed look, a happy look or just the 'Darn, I didn't Li-kun' look. As for the guy's reaction as each girl got called they were all practically praying not to be called, most obviously wanting to be picked by Sakura, they winced, they sighed, they buried their faces into their arms, some actually were glad with the girls who picked them out..
"Daidouji Tomoyo." called the sensei.
"Hai!" the grey haired female slowly stood up and walked towards the sensei's desk and stuffing her arm down into the box, picking out a single slip and slowly opening it up before she is able to read out or see the actual name upon the slip the handwriting is dissolved and a new writing goes over it 'Hiiragizawa Eriol'. She tilts her head slightly backwards to glance at Eriol with his sly grin.
"Next is, Kinomoto Sakura." said the sensei loudly glancing at Sakura who apparently wasn't paying attention.
"Hoe?" blinked Sakura snapping back into reality.
"Time to pick your date Sakura-chan" whispered Junko from behind her.
"Uhh..hai..gomen sensei" nodded Sakura, with a light blush on her cheeks. Whoever I pick, it won't matter...will it? What if I pick out Junko-kun? Or Li-kun? They're both mad at me, or is it I'm mad at them? Calm down Sakura-chan...you're getting nervous once more and confused as well!! That pinkish aura began to surround her frame, beginning to act up as a wild fire flame but it was feeling fainter as if fading into a different color perhaps a dark black one.. Syaroan and Eriol quickly noticed the sudden change and were almost blown away by the outburst of her inner power.
This ancestor of mine almost has the same amount of power as I do...it ain't as much as I got but it's pretty close, what's wrong with my ancestor?! thought Eriol while adjusting his glasses, One more thing..I gotta remember to get me some contacts..these glasses don't really help while doing sports. he added to himself before making a few adjustments of his own to the box.
Ok..what was that!?!? I have never felt her aura this strong before not even when she battled against Yue! Ugh, why do you care for her still? After all she said to you the past night? You baka... Rubbing his head as his consciences begin to debate within him he groans as if suffering from a headache, or just make it a BIG one.
Sakura approached the box, eyeing it a little uneasy. Stuffing her arm into the box, slender fingers scanning the bits of paper and finally to grasp one and slowly pull it out..Oh my god, what am I going to do if I get Junko-kun? We are on a 'break' so it would be weird! What if I get Li-kun? I think he's mad at me and all but if he got picked by me, Junko-kun would be so mad!!! Why couldn't Tomoyo-chan had picked one of them out so I would have at least a chance to get Eriol-kun..he wouldn't judge me if I went with him...I hate myself currently...Emerald eyes widen in curiousity as she looks into the bit of paper, clearly labeled, Li Syaroan. She couldn't speak, it was as if she became mute.
"Miss Kinomoto, who did you get?" asked the sensei.
"Erm...uh..." shrugging she shuffled closer to the sensei, showing him her paper slip.
"Li Syaroan. You may take your seat now Miss Kinomoto." He answered.
Syaroan had practically fallen off his chair anime style after he had 'edited' the teacher's statement into his mind. Could it be? He had gotten picked out by Sakura? It's fate he thought..simply fate. On the other hand this made Junko 'boil' the same way Syaroan always did when he saw Sakura with another guy.
"WHAT!?!?!??!?!" cried out Junko in protest clutching the sides of his own desk, leaving poor Sakura to 'curl' herself.
"Is there a problem? 'Cause you sure are making Miss Kinomoto very comfortable.." asked the sensei.
"G-g-gomen nasai, sensei" stuttered Junko, taking back his seat, but throwing a death glare straight at Syaroan.
Wow, that was intimidating, NOT...hah I will laugh my head off the day Junko-san and Li-san decide to combat each other for Sakura...those two are just at each others throat right now and after this School dance, hilarious I guess..I recall that my descendent has great will and power other then Junko's own, he clearly doesn't possess any magic but just like the aura of an wandering spirit, no destiny at all. chuckled Eriol to himself after doing a little 'switch-a-roo' of his..he is suddenly struck by a flying paper ball..he groaned opening the paper ball and reading the note secretivly.
Smart ass,
thank you for becoming my date..I think it was just fate!!
Was it you as well who had Sakura pick out Syaroan's name?
Tomoyo
He grinned slyly and began to scribble on the fragment of paper and thus tossing it back on her direction, smacking her square on her forehead.
"Owwie..." she pouted, opening the note up and reading it.
PAYBACK!!!
It was fate Tomoyo-chan, all I did was just erase and replace easy, ne?
I didn't really do anything to get Sakura to pick out Syaroan, it was actually more of her ordeal
I think..I felt her aura stirr ALOT so it must have some effect due to her inner feelings.
Eriol
Exhilarated smile is given off by the purple-eyed female now currently feeling anxious for the dance, and for her happiness she will be able to make all of their outfits, especially Sakura's!! Her hands rests at the side of her cheeks imagining how cute Sakura and Syaroan would look, Syaroan in a tux and Sakura in a resplendent outfit..the thought just made her blush and Eriol in a tux, she just felt dreamy now...ah! The note..She began to scribble back on another fragment of paper wildly. Eriol this time was ready for the paper ball and caught it just before it hit the back of his head. This just made Tomoyo sweat-drop sheepishly but she knew he was going to do that..
Good catch Eriol-kun!
I got an idea!! Why don't we go to the dance together with Syaroan-kun and Sakura-chan?
Also I need you all to come by my house later today so I can get all your measurements!!
Tomoyo
What?!?! Measurements? Ack no....Tomoyo will make one of her outfits...we'll be there at her house till the next morning!! he sighed, beginning to write back her note.
Ok, this is the last note...
I think if Syaroan-kun and Sakura-chan went alone to the dance it would be better, ne?
That way they can all figure their 'problems' or whatever during their way over to the dance..
Later on? As in today? I think I can..but you talk to Sakura-chan and I'll talk to Syaroan-kun.
Eriol.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
"Stand still will yah?!?!" prodded Tomoyo
"I'm getting tired! Hurrryyyyyyy" whined Syaroan with his arms stretched wide.
"I will do it faster but you don't stop fidgeting!!" she groaned, about to pinch him with a needle.
"What a fun sight to see.." grinned Eriol.
"Hai..oh look Tomoyo about to poke Li-kun with a needle!!" giggled Sakura, feeling somewhat better after a LONG conversation with Kero-chan and Yue-san (although Yue didn't really help..very much.)
"Thank god I'm done!!!" sighed Syaroan relived.
"Eriol-kun..your turn!" Tomoyo grinned, lifting up a needle innocently while looking at him.
"Suffer." smirked Syaroan as he plops down upon the couch.
"Don't you dare Tomoyo-chan!!" pleaded Eriol.
"Do it! Do it!" chanted Sakura to Tomoyo.
"Naww...I can't..." she sighed, putting down the needle and placing a light kiss on his cheek.
"Arigato.." sighed Eriol relived.
"Sakura-chan, Li-kun can you guys go downstairs and pick-up some thing's for me? I forgot the fabric for your dress and some other accessories..." wondered Tomoyo, giving a sly glance back at Eriol.
"Hai..be right back Tomoyo-chan!" answered Sakura already leaving the room.
"Wha? Oh..sure Tomoyo-chan.." running his hands across his unruly hair he stuffs one of his hands into his side pocket and follows Sakura downstairs..
"There really isn't anything downstairs is there?" inquired Eriol.
"Nai..just wanted to let those two alone.." she giggled locking the door so that they couldn't come back in. "Just be quiet..I wanna see what is going to happen!"
"How? I don't see you with your camcorder and you locked the door!!"
"Humph..you don't know me that well" she turned a small TV monitor on and it showed a image of Sakura and Syaroan going down the stairs, but a large distance between them.. "See! I got Kero-chan to videotape this for me in secret!" smiled Tomoyo innocently once more.
Eriol sweat-drops and makes a kawaii face.. "I get your point but look how far they are from each other!!"
"Shhh!!! Li-kun is saying something!!"
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
"Sakura-chan?"
"Hoe?"
"D-Did you really mean everything that you said to me the other day?"
"Um..let's just find what Tomoyo-chan asked us to find for her and head back up, she must be waiting for us to come back up."
"Answer me, Sakura-chan..did you really mean everything you told me? And why has everything changed so..much? I mean why Junko-san?"
"...-_-..."
They just stopped at the bottom of the stairs standing still in mere silence that you could hear a soft flutter of wings in a distance (Kero-chan and the camcorder!! hehe) until the long and auburn-haired female broke their silence..
"I don't know, whether I meant it or not. I'm just so terribly confused I had secluded myself from this..avoided the smallest thought of you after you left, or even so the topic of you, it had been so hard whenever I tried to give up or in the least, get over you..as the days went by the pain just became more tormenting and I was almost driven to the point to use the Erase Card to erase the living memory of you..but I didn't have the will for such..demo..you came back like a dream, I never thought you would come back, I didn't even think you cared for me but I don't know if you like me or not, how do I know your back here to solve another family dilemma? I held on onto our memories when I used to capture the cards but somehow they had been locked deep within myself and so..met Junko he had some effect on me but not the same as I have for you, not pure love.." she whispered her final words unable to practically fight within herself it was like you could just suffocate from all this flurry of dilemmas..she braces herself, her hands rubbing against her arms as if she were frostbitten, just insecure about what her 'better half' would answer..
"Sakura-chan..I was deeply hurt by you various times might I add since I came back from Hong Kong, I never knew you felt this way..but before I left I thought that we would all be better off if you didn't know..when I first saw you I felt something different a feeling I never felt before..everybody judges me, knowing nothing about me, causing insecurities, because of someone's jealousy, losing all my privacy wanting much more normalcy, learning to appreciate mainly..Gifts my God has given me..coming to Japan at first had made me change and learn that you can live a life of normalcy even if you carry magic as a hidden burden. You taught me that and how to smile, laugh and appreciate the best things of life besides strain to your fullest. You're one of a kind Sakura-chan....I love you, Sakura-chan." His final words simply speak for themselves being completely genuine and zealous, his final statement entirely devoted to her whole being. Etching closer towards her side, hands reach out, feeling the softness of her cheeks and the depthless within those jade orbs of hers..a light susurration of a melody mixes along with the moment...
Somewhere there's speaking
It's already coming in
Oh and it's rising at the back of your mind
You never could get it
Unless you were fed it
Now you're here and you don't know why
But under skinned knees and the skid marks
Past the places where you used to learn
You howl and listen
Listen and wait for the
Echoes of angels who won't return
He's everything you want
He's everything you need
He's everything inside of you
That you wish you could be
He says all the right things
At exactly the right time
But he means nothing to you
And you don't know why
You're waiting for someone
To put you together
You're waiting for someone to push you away
There's always another wound to discover
There's always something more you wish he'd say
But you'll just tight
And watch it unwind
It's only what you're asking for
And you'll be just fine
With all of your time
It's only what you're waiting for
Out of the island
Into the highway
Past the places where you might have turned
You never did notice
But you still hide away
The anger of angels who won't return
I am everything you want
I am everything you need
I am everything inside of you
That you wish you could be
I say all the right things
At exactly the right time
But I mean nothing to you and I don't know why
And I don't know why
Why
I don't know
Her arms fail to obey her own commands and make up their own commands, stretching out towards the comforting form of his and embracing him tightly their lips connecting at a static speed her arms are wrapped tightly around his neck her reliving passion for him going from her lips onto..his. His own muscled arms holding him tight to her by her thin waist. They are almost interrupted by Kero falling over in deep anger as the 'brat' kisses his dear Sakura but the sound of him falling onto the ground with Tomoyo's camcorder is blocked by the blaring of a new song which echoes in their ears..
There you are
In a darkened room
You are all alone
Looking out the window
Your heart is cold and lost the will to love
Like a broken arrow
Here I stand in the shadows
Come to me, come to me
Can't you see that
Nobody wants to be lonely
Nobody wants to cry
My body's longing to hold you
So bad it hurts inside
Time is precious and it's slipping away
And I've been waiting for you all of my life
Nobody wants to be lonely, so why
Why don't you let me love you
Can you hear my voice
Do you hear my song
It's a serenade
So your heart can find me
And suddenly you're flying down the stairs
Into my arms baby
Before I start going crazy
Run to me, run to me
'Cause I'm dying
Nobody wants to be lonely
Nobody wants to cry
My body's longing to hold you
So bad it hurts inside
Time is precious and it's slipping away
And I've been waiting for you all of my life
Nobody wants to be lonely, so why
Why don't you let me love you
I wanna feel you deeply
Just like the air you're breathing
I need you here in my life
Don't walk away, don't walk away, don't walk away, don't walk away
No no no no
Nobody wants to be lonely
Nobody wants to cry
My body's longing to hold you
So bad it hurts inside
Time is precious and it's slipping away
And I've been waiting for you all of my life
Nobody wants to be lonely, so why
Why don't you let me love you..
The couple from upstairs being so impatient and losing the last image of the two finally approaching each other scramble out of the room after Tomoyo had adjusted the stereo system and find the two in a deep embrace, it just made her heart fall into a puddle of mush leaning against Eriol who just had to interrupt them with a loud cough.
"Eriol-kun, why did you do that?!" elbowed Tomoyo as she scolded Eriol.
"I didn't do anything! My throat just feels..dry.." he claimed, reasoning.
"Where you two watching us all along?!?!?!" yelled Syaroan from downstairs while just turning into a big red tomato shade. Sakura was just too dead speechless to make something up at the moment and just turned their back to them all.
"Er..nai! We heard something so we came out to see what it was!" nodded Tomoyo, with another of her innocent smile but a nice big sweat-drop to complete the scene.
"But it was just you two making out.." grumbled Kero from behind them.
"KERO-CHAN!!!!!!!!!!" bellowed Sakura, running up the stairs madly and covering his mouth shut.
"Mmmmmmmpphhh!!" struggled Kero slowly turning blue.
"You're going to kill Kerberus that way missy.." pointed out Eriol.
"Hoe?!" glancing down at the guardian she sweat-drops and scratches the back of her head sheepishly.
"I take it you two are happy to have been picked out as dates for the dance huh?" stated Tomoyo, plainly.
"Hai" replied Syaroan, still in his embarrassment state.
Syaroan slowly made his way back up the stairs to join Sakura and the other two but they all just seemed to avoid the subject labeled 'Junko'. The measurements were all done, Sakura was done with scolding Kero and was going to leave him without any sweets for two dinners (guardian cruelty..tsk tsk...). Tomoyo was stuck on the TV replaying over and over the tape which Kero got recorded of Sakura and Syaroan. Eriol, Sakura, Kero and Syaroan all sweat-dropped immensely watching Tomoyo with glistening eyes, as she gazes at the screen, Sakura and Syaroan would just mostly blush and go completely clueless in front of each other the whole situation still a little awkward..
