Sakura and Syaoran had reached the Water Way Inn about an hour after the sun had set (which they watched together because Souyoku had *Ahem* conveniently twisted his left fin and in order for his magic to heal it on its own he *Ah ah em* had to wait until the sun set).
" I'm sooooo tired..." Sakura had declared through her long yawn. Syaoran blinked. Sakura blushed. " Sorry."
" S-okay. Um Sakura... Uh... about the... uh... sleeping arraignments..."
" Um yeah..."
Both Sakura and Syaoran bushed madly while staring at the deluxe king sized bed.
" I could sleep on the floor. I don't mind." Syaoran offered. He was not about to sleep in the same bed as Sakura in fear of what he might end up doing.
" Are you sure?"
' Yeah if you want to die!'
" What!?!?!?!?!" Sakura and Syaoran both yelled in unison attracting knocks on the walls from several annoyed neighbors.
' Well I once knew this guy, a friend of my great grandfather, who took the risk of sleeping on the ground in Aqualia. He was over his aunt house and there weren't enough beds so he slept on the floor. In the middle of the night, we all woke up to a loud bang. It turned out that his buoyancy wouldn't work so his head smashed into the sealing and he died.'
" Oh my god!" Sakura seemed more shocked than Syaoran who thought it was a joke.
" I think I'll take the chance." Syaoran really didn't want to sleep in the same bed as Sakura.
" Well I won't. Syaoran you get into bed. I need you for this journey and I can't risk you dying. You too Souyoku. I can't risk you dying too."
' Don't worry. Animals can control their buoyancy when they sleep. I'll take the ground.'
" Suit your self."
' Thanks a lot Souyoku.' Syaoran was glaring knives at Souyoku extremely ungrateful for his little "favor".
' My pleasure.' At that moment Souyoku winked at Syaoran and Sakura shot them a suspicious glance and out of no where, yawned again.
" Sorry I guess I'm really tired."
" I... uh... guess we... um... you better get to bed."
" Don't try to talk your self out of it. Were sleeping together tonight." Sakura paused to think about what she just said and blushed furiously. As for Syaoran, he was just about ready to explode.
" I didn't mean that... really... I ... uh... just meant..."
" It's OK. I know what you meant."
" Oh."
And without another word, Sakura swam over to the bed and shortly after Syaoran followed. They got in, both of them as red as rotten tomatoes.
' Those two are hopeless. I think I'll play matchmaker for a while. Hmmm, Souyoku the matchmaker. It suits me.'
With that last thought Souyoku went to bet completely convinced that he could get Sakura and Syaoran to tell each other their true feelings.

She was standing on the balcony. A girl with purple hair heart shaped odangos. She was standing there. With wings. Large lavender wings. Her eyes. They were... green. Like the one with emeralds for eyes. The most magnificent eyes were copied on to the youth's face.
" Syaoran..." She called with a ghost like voice. "Syaoran..."
He just starred. Starred.
" Those eyes. Emeralds. Only Sakura has those eyes. Just her. How? Another?"
" Please Syaoran...help me." As the youth spoke these words a portal opened in the sky.
" Please Syaoran. Help me. Save me." There was a startling shaky fermness situated in her voice.
" But how? Who? Why?" A sudden burst of lighting hit the girl as she screamed a piercing deadly scream.
" Noooo!!!!!!!"

Syaoran woke up sweating and panting. He looked around to find out he was safely in the hotel room in Aqualia. Sakura lay in the bed next to him breathing slowly and steadily.
" Who was that? She seemed familiar. Why... do I feel like I have to care for her? Why did that dream feel so real?"
Syaoran felt pain in his head and let out a soft moan. Sakura stirred and opened one eye halfway. She watched him sit there with his head in his hands thinking deeply.
' He looks so thoughtful. I wonder what he's thinking about?' " Syaoran?"
" Oh. Your awake."
Sakura sat up next to Syaoran.
" You look very worried. Are you OK?" Sakura moved closer to Syaoran and put a comforting had on his shoulder making him turn slightly red.
" Yeah I just had a weird dream. No problem. Did you sleep well?"
' I'll always sleep well if you're by my side.' Sakura thought. "Yeah. Just fine. Is Souyoku awake?"
" I don't know. Souyoku? Are you awake?"
' Not before you started blabbing your mouths off!'
" Geez. He sure is grumpy in the morning."
' I heard that!!'
" He's just like Kiro-chan. Always grumpy when he first gets up."
' I hope that's a good thing for your sake.'
" Oh don't worry. Kiro-chan is my guardian. He's very sweet."
" Yeah for a stuffed animal!"
" Syaoran!"
' A stuffed animal is your guardian?'
" No no no. Syaoran and Kiro-chan didn't exactly get off at a good start.
Kiro-chan is the guardian beast of the Clow." Sakura gasped. She didn't mean to speak about the Clow Cards so openly and Syaoran stared at her. Souyoku also seemed bewildered.
' Di-di-did you say Clow?'
" Uhh... no! Of course not! Where did you get that from!"
Souyoku suddenly had tears of joy in his eyes.
' Oh how I've missed Clow Reed!'
" You know Clow Reed!?!?!?!?!" Sakura and Syaoran were both shocked.
' Yeah!!!!! He came to the future when I was a pup. He practically raised me. Why didn't you bring him with you? I would have loved to see him! Oh but he promised to come see me after he made the Clow Cards.'
Sakura and Syaoran's amazed faces suddenly turned sad.
" Um Souyoku? I don't know how to tell you this but... uh... Clow Reed is dead."
' He-he-he's dead. Why? But how?'
" He was old. People die when they are old you know."
' Of course I know that but he couldn't die.'
" And how is that?"
' Well because when we were little, we both drank the elixir of life. Since we drank that, we became immortal. Both of us pick an age, drink the elixir, grow to that age and stay that way forever. The only way the elixir can be removed is if a warlock injects some of its blood into the person who drank it, but that is impossible because warlocks are extinct.'
There was a long moment of silence when a knock was heard at the door. Syaoran got out of bed *he he. I made them sit side by side in bed the whole
time. *
to answer the door.
" Uh sir. You and your girlfriend better get out cause you passed the time limit now."
" Really?? What time is it?"
" 11:50 sir and the inn closes at 12:00."
" Hoe!!!!!! Syaoran we have to go!!!!"
" Sorry but do you mind if we have a few extra minuets?"
" Sure is 15 OK?"
" Yeah thanks."
Syaoran closed the door and swam back in.
' Sakura is in the bathroom changing.'
" What? Oh yeah. You're the mind reader."
' Listen Syaoran. If you love her so much, why don't you just tell her?'
I would love to but it really is not that easy."
' Why not?'
" I've never actually told any one I've loved them before."
' So. There's a first time for everything.'
" Yeah but..."
" OK Syaoran you can use the bathroom now."
" Uh yeah thanks."
When they finished their business, Syaoran and Sakura left the inn refreshed and ready to head towards the fire land on the map.
