Myellow! This is Geo, once again to make your lives a living hell...ha ha, just kidding.
Okay, so disclaimer: I don't own CCS. That is a little obvious.
A little note: italics mean thought and ~*~*~ means scene/time change.
Second of all, I'm sorry! Bad editing on my part for the first chapter! Heh heh...sorry about that! Well, enjoy!
Chapter 2
I, Sakura Kinomoto, have something to admit: for the past six years, I've been acting sort of delusional. No, I'm not high no any sort of known drug. I've just seen the things my mind's wanted to see. Almost like a trick to make me believe I'm actually seeing him again.
For the first few months, I always thought I saw him at his desk, waiting for me. He would look up when I came near my desk, which was near his. He would greet me in his shy sort of way and start talking about the homework assignments or even the Cards. However, when Madison would tap me on the shoulder, I'd realize I'm blocking the doorway and, with a sigh, I would walk into the class for another day of school.
But it didn't stop there. At night I would dream that I was walking home and I would see him on the bridge. I would be surprised to see him standing there after six years, just like he used to when he was waiting for me.
"Syaoran!" I would exclaim in surprise. He would turn look up and turn his and smile his rare but oh-so-cute smile which always made me melt.
"Hello Sakura," he would say, turning around to face me fully. I would smile and then run up and hug him out of pure joy. And he would actually hug me back. Forget the surprised gasp or the blushing. He would simply hug me back. I would feel so warm and safe in his arms.
"Oh Syaoran! I've missed you so much!"
"I missed you too," he would say. Then continuing, a little more softly than the last time, he would whisper, "Sakura, I have something to tell you."
I would face him and his face would be inching towards mine. "Sakura, I..."
And then I'd wake up. Funny how all the good dreams end right there, huh? Funnier yet, I've been having the same dream for six years and I've never actually gotten to the end. Stupid alarm clock...
But soon, I'll seem him again, for real. Not just in my dreams. But in real flesh and blood. Syaoran. MY Syaoran.
There was never a doubt in my mind that he cared for me as I do for him. That may seem overly confident or possessive, but it's just something I felt. I could never actually explain it, since it's something too dear for words. All I know is that I love him and, for some strange reason, he loves me back...in his Syaoran sort of way.
I sighed and looked at myself in the mirror, wondering what to do with my hair. And then a thought struck me. Even if I may love Syaoran and he loves me, would he be able to recognize me? It has been six years of waiting and, while doing that, growing. Not that I think I've changed all too much to the point of confusion. I didn't dye my hair neon pink or get tattoos all over my body. Sure, I grew a little and my hair is longer. Would that make someone look different?
And what about him? He's a guy, so his growing years are coming to end, when mine have already slowed to a stop. He's changed, for sure. Physically, I mean. He must have grown taller and, if physically possible, even more handsome than he was when he was in grade four.
Glancing at my watch, I noticed that it would only be a few more hours till I get there to Hong Kong. Boy, will Madison be surprised when I'm actually ready and on time! I have to admit, I'm not the most punctual person in the world. So I picked up my purse to get ready to leave.
"Bye Kero! I'll be back in two weeks!" I said to the "stuffed animal" as Syaoran used to call him was playing a video game. Kero paused the game and flew over to where I was standing.
"Boy oh boy, this is bad judgment on my part. I shouldn't let you go alone! What if the Li-kid does anything to you!" He said angrily.
"You don't have to worry, Kero! First of all, I'm just going for two weeks. I'm going with Madison and I'm pretty sure Syaoran has enough to worry about with the clan and all." I smiled at him. "I'll miss you, Kero."
He smiled back. "Have fun, kid."
I rushed down the stairs just as my father called, "Sakura! Madison's here!"
"Bye squirt," mumbled Tori, my older brother.
"Bye Tori!" I called over my shoulder to him as I rushed towards the door. My dark haired, amethyst-eyed friend was waiting for me at the door. Hugging my dad and grabbing my suitcase, I followed her to the limo. I was surprised to see that her mother, who was accompanying us, wasn't in there. Madison laughed as I inquired about this.
"She found out about a meeting scheduled for this morning and she had to go on the really early flight. So, it's just you and me for this flight! So, are you excited about seeing a certain brown haired, amber eyed friend that left Japan only six years ago?"
I smiled at my best friend. "Excited? Well..."
Yes, so I had been delusional. But very soon, I know that reality will hit and he'll really be there, waiting for me. And I really will feel his arms around me. As it should be.
Heh heh...yes yes...this chapter's all done. Whopee...heh heh...sorry if I made Sakura sound kind of...airheaded some of the times. I didn't mean to. I don't think she sounds...like that anyways. I'll apologize right now, I'm sorry if there are any grammar-related mistakes. So yes. Hope you liked it!
