I lay on my bed with her soft breathing in my ear. I sigh and look at her. She¡¯s so beautiful. I reach out and brush a strand of hair from her face. Last night she asked me not to call the cops. I sighed again and got up. I walked out to the living room and picked up the phone.
The Proposal
By Jimba
Sakura~*~Sakura
I felt him leave. I knew what he was going to do. I waited until I heard him pick up the phone and tiptoed to behind him. ¡°Yes. Hello? This is Li Syaoran. Yes. About the crash. Yes, I know it was terrible. I just wanted to inform you that Kino¡¦.¡±
I pulled the plug. ¡°Hello? Hello?¡± He began tapping the mouthpiece until he saw me. ¡°Sa-Sakura? I was just,uh¡¦¡± I cut him short. ¡°You said you wouldn¡¯t call them!¡± ¡°Yes, but¡¦¡± ¡°How could you lie to me!¡±
I felt hurt. He put a hand on my shoulder. ¡°Gomen Sakura but I don¡¯t want your family to worry about you.¡± I sighed. ¡°Oh Syaoran, I know you ment good but, well I just wanted to spend a day with you.¡±
I blushed furiously and looked down. I heard him sigh. He put his arms around me. ¡°Gomen . I know how hard it is for you. O.k. Let¡¯s make a deal. One day with no interruption but tommorow you let me call. O.K?
I looked up and hugged him. ¡°Domo arigato!¡± ¡°Sakura! I can¡¯t breath.¡± ¡°Oops. Gomen .¡± I let go of him and danced to the kitchen. When I looked in the refrigderator I laughed.
¡°You live off milk?¡± He walked in and smiled sheepishly. ¡°Oops. I forgot to go shopping again. Don¡¯t worry. I¡¯ll go get some.¡± Before I offered to go he was out the door.
I walked around the house to explore. For the first time I saw how big his house was. His living room was as big as my entire dorm. Syaoran, you lucky bastard. I looked at all the rooms until I came back to the living room. I walked around absent mindly until I felt my foot be pricked by a srewd of glass.
I looked down. There were a lot of little pieces on the floor. It seemed to lead under the couch. I crouched low to see what it was. It took me a good half an hour but I got to move the couch.
It was a picture. The glass frame was gone, which explained the pieces of glass. I recongized it. It was the picture taken eight years ago. So¡¦is this where he keeps his pictures. That¡¯s when I heard the door open.
¡°Syaoran!¡±I called out. ¡°I¡¯m in the living room!¡± I looked down at the picture again. I gave this to him as a present. That¡¯s the last time I give him a picture. ¡°Hey Syaoran. Why¡¯d you keep this picture under¡¦¡±
I looked up only to find it wasn¡¯t Syaoran. ¡°Me-Meiling!¡± She looked down at me. It was a mixture of surprise and anger. ¡°Kinomoto! What are YOU doing here! I saw you on the news.¡±
¡°Well, I uh¡¦ you see the thing is um¡¦¡± What a relief when I heard the door open again. ¡°Sakura. They were out of pancake batter so¡¦¡± He stopped dead in his tracks when he saw Meiling.
¡°Meiling. Wh-what are you doing here.¡± She looked at him and pointed at me. ¡° What am I doing her?! What is SHE doing here. Sh-she¡¯s dead!¡± ¡°Meiling!¡± Syaoran looked at her in shook. ¡°What kind of behavior is that!¡±
¡°The kind of behavior where I go through all that to get her ki¡¦¡± She covered her mouth. Syaoran knew what she was trying to say. ¡°What! Yo-you bombed the plane. Why!¡±
¡°Anything to get you! I knew you were still thinking of her and I couldn¡¯t take it anymore!¡± She got up and ran for the door but was stopped by Syaoran. ¡°You¡¯re not going¡¦¡± Meiling punched Syaoran in the face and ran out of the door. I looked at her in disbelief as she ran off.
Syaoran~*~Syaoran
I just stare dumly at the figure. Rubbing my cheeck I get up and walk into the living room. I was still in shock when Sakura came in and sat next to me. She put her hand on my cheek and began to massage it.
¡°Syaoran? Are you okay?¡± All I do is nodded. After a couple of minutes, I come back to reality and reach for the phone. Sakura stops me. ¡°Sakura! I have to call the police. Don¡¯t worry. It isn¡¯t about you.¡±
¡°I know. Please, Syaoran. Let her go.¡± I look at her in disbelief. ¡°What?! She tried to get you killed. Not only that, but she killed about 200 people!¡± She looks down and whispers.
¡°She did it because of me. It¡¯s all my fault!¡± Sakura broke down in tears. My heart warms right away. ¡°Sakura¡¦I¡¯m sorry.¡± I tried to put a hand on her shoulder but before I could, she hugs me.
I don¡¯t know how long she cried, but by the time she was done, my entire shirt was wet. ¡°Go-gomen Syaoran.¡± She begins to wipe her face with her arms.¡± I get a box of tissues and hand it to her. ¡°Daijobu.¡±
¡°Sakura. You can¡¯t blame yourself for what Meiling did.¡± ¡°Bu-but sh-she¡¦¡± I stopped her. ¡°If you don¡¯t say ¡°It¡¯s not my fault¡± then I¡¯m gonna call the cops.¡± She looked at me for a second and bursted out laughing.
¡°Hehe. Ok. You win. It¡¯s not my fault.¡± I can¡¯t help but smile. So what do you want to do today.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know.¡± She sat there in deep concentration. Sudden;y I got an idea. ¡°Sakura. There¡¯s this carnival¡¦¡± Before I could finish, she was out the door.
Sakura~*~Sakura
I was running ou the door. ¡°Hurry up Syaoran! Let¡¯s go!¡± Syaoran caught up to me and was panting. ¡°Calm down Sakura!¡± I waited for him to catch his breath. ¡°Syaoran! I didn¡¯t know yo were so slow.¡±
That seemed to get his attention. He stood up straight and cleared his throught. ¡°Me! Slow! I was just trying to uh make you feel better *cough* by making you think you were uh fast.¡±
I stared at him and bursted out laughing. ¡°Haha. Syaoran, that is the biggest, lamest lie I¡¯ve every heard. Syaoran could not help but chuckle himself. ¡°Well lets get going.¡± Syaoran took my hand and we walked.
After a good 30 minute walk the carnival came into sight. It was like nothing I¡¯ve ever seen. There were more rides then candy in a candy store. ¡°Come on! Come on! Lets go!¡±
I dragged Syaoran to the booth. The lady behind it spoke in Chinese. I wasn¡¯t very good at it. I looked at Syaoran for help. He just reached into his pocket and and took out some money. The lady nodded and said thank you.
I didn¡¯t know what I wanted to ride first. All day I rode everything in sight. From roller coasters to a water ride. When I was done. I was all wet. Syaoran kept looking at me. I looked down and blushed.
My shirt was wet and it was sticking to my body. Syaoran noticed that I noticed and looked away, blushing. ¡°Go-gomen Sakura.¡± I linked arms with him. ¡°What do you wanna ride next.
Syaoran~*~Syaoran
I couldn¡¯t help it. She was so beautiful. She was like a goddess. I don¡¯t deserve to be with her. She kept talking about rides, but id din¡¯t care. Her voice was like music to my ears.
We rode another roller coaster. When we came to a spin she screamed and clinged onto me. With one arm I held her and grabbed hold of the bar with the other. She was still sreaming. Even her scream was beautiful.
When we got off she said, ¡°Let¡¯s do that again!¡± I looked at her. ¡°Just kidding!¡± I a laughed at the same time her stomach growled. ¡°Ooops. Hehe. Didn¡¯t have lunch.¡± I looked at the time.
¡°Wow! It¡¯s late!¡± ¡°Uh-hu. Syaoran, I¡¯m hungery.¡± I look around for a food stand and found one. We walked over and ordered 4 hot dogs. Man! Can that girl eat! Sakura wolfed down all four in less than a minute.
We walked around with her arms around mine. I heard a person wisper. ¡°what a cute couple.¡± I sighed and looked down at Sakura. The only thing cute here is you Sakura, I thought.
Suddenly an announcement came out of the loud speaker. ¡°Ladies and gentlemen. May I have your attention please. The annual dragon festival of the Chi carnival will take place in 10 mins. Thank you.¡±
Sakura looked at me once more for a translation. ¡°Their having some sort of festival in ten minutes.¡± Sakura¡¯s face suddenly lit up with pleasure.¡±Oh Syaoran, can we see it please!¡±
Sakura was practically jumping up and down like a little school girl. I laughed and said, ¡°Calm down. Ok. Ok Will go see it.¡± When we got to the site thought we were hit with dissapointment.
The place was already crowded and impossible to see anything. ¡°Mou,Syaoran. How are we supposed to see anything.¡± She pouted and looked rather dissapointed. I looked around and found a solution.
¡°Sakura look!¡± I pointed at a ferris wheel nearby. Sakura once again got exicted. ¡°Oh Sayoran, you¡¯re a genious!¡± She grabbed my arm and dragged me there. When we go there, though, there was a line of people.
¡°Guess they got the same idea as us.¡± Sakura was not listening but counting. ¡°Syaoran if we go on line we can make it to the last one. We ran to the line.Sakura was going on and on about how she wanted to see the festival.
Sure enough, we made the last cart. The man in charge tipped his hat, ¡°Enjoy!¡± We got on and we felt the cart go up. Sakura was craning her neck to get a better view. ¡°Syaoran! Look! I can see it!¡±
Sakura~*~Sakura
It was amazing. There were huge costume dragons. Their dance was enchanting. I could not keep my eyes of it and tried to follow the beat. Syaoran sat by me with his hand in mine.
After a while people with poles came and began to dance as well. I clapped with the many people below. ¡°Syaoran, this is great!¡± When I looked at him though, he was not looking at the festival but right at me.
¡°Sy-Syaoran?¡± I looked right into those brown eyes and I felt my body go rigid. He held my arms and lowered his face, closer to mine. I felt his mouth touch mine and a sudden flow of energy bursted into my body.
When we let go I was speechless. ¡°Sakura¡¦can I ask you something?¡± All I could do was nod. ¡°I know we hadn¡¯t seen each other in eight years. Wi-will you marry me?¡±
I felt like someone hit me in the face. What! Did he just ask me to, to¡¦ I looked down. ¡°Syaoran, ma-maybe your not feeling well.¡± Syaoran shook his head. ¡°N-no. I meant what I said. You don¡¯t have to answer know. I could¡¦¡±
I couldn¡¯t help myself. ¡°YES!¡± Syaoran looked at me and smiled the most beautiful smile I¡¯ve ever seen. He held me again and kiss me. In the backround fireworks were bursting bright in the air.
Well, I¡¯m done. Like it? Hate it? Tell me. REVIEW!
