Time
Frame: During the night.
hhhhh
Black.
That's the only
way to describe it, black.
Everything was
pitch black. There wasn't a single spec of light. There was no gray or any
lighter shade. It was just simply black.
The emptiness wasn't
just an absence of color or light. It was an absence of everything. There was
no breeze, no noise, and no essences of any kind.
That was how
Syaoron was able to tell that it wasn't real. Because if it was real, then he
would have felt something, but he sensed nothing. He couldn't even sense the most
basic of life essences. It was as if everything, just vanished.
'Where am I?'
thought Syaoron silently.
Then out of
nowhere, a sound finally came to his ears. It was very faint at first. He could
barely make it out, but then as it got closer, he could distinctly make out the
sounds of running feet.
The sound seemed
to be headed towards him. And it just got louder.
Then a second set
began.
They were
distinguishable because they were very different. One was a light clicking
sound. Like the sound of a female running. The second however, was more of a
deep clomping, definitely the sounds of a male.
Syaoron could see
a faint outline of a person as they drew near. At first it was just a vertical
line. It was a soft pastel hue, with a hazy area around it. Then a darker haze
could be seen as the second figure came up behind the first. The second person
was definitely taller than the first. And the aura around him was very dark.
He could finally
make out some vague details as the pair came closer. The shoulder length auburn
locks were whipped behind the girl as she ran. She seemed to be running away
from her pursuer rather than towards anything.
They got closer
and Syaoron could see more details. Her piercing emerald eyes were the most
prominent features on her face. Syaoron was sure that those eyes could hold all
the beauty of the universe if given the chance, but all they held at the moment
was fear. The tears running down her face seemed to shine like a trail of tiny
diamonds.
The fear she gave
off was almost tangible. It came out in waves and crashed against him like surf
against the cliffs.
What he saw next
struck him like a dagger to the heart.
He knew the girl.
More than that he loved the girl. The girl was Sakura.
Then as if seeing
him for the first time, she looked him straight in the eyes and cried his name.
"Syaoron!"
The look of
absolute terror in her eyes took him back a few steps.
He tried to move
but he seemed to be stuck to the ground. All he could do was reach out with his
hands.
She was soon
close enough to grasp and that's just what he did. He grabbed her hands in his
and tried with all his strength to pull her to him. But no matter how hard he
pulled in one direction, there was always something pulling her in the opposite
one.
The darkness
started to envelop her and slowly she was being torn from his grasp. No matter
how hard her tried, he just couldn't hold on.
They couple held
on to each other for all they were worth, but it just wasn't enough.
And just before their
hands broke contact, he yelled, "Sakura!"
Syaoron's eyes
snapped open as he bolted upright in bed. He was covered in a cold sweat as he
looked around him to get his bearings.
He was in bed and
he was with her. He was with his Ying Fa.
A small smile
crept on to his face as he lay back down on the bed. 'It was just a dream,' he
thought to himself as he circled his arms around her waist.
He pulled her
closer to him and he never wanted to let go. He just held her against his body.
Eventually she snuggled closer to him.
Soon the
adrenaline rush he got from the dream faded and he slowly inched back into
dreamland.
He didn't want to go to sleep just yet. He wanted to enjoy the moment a little longer, but the sweet scent of Sakura's hair wasn't helping him much. Eventually he relented in his fight to stay awake and let the steady breathing of his cherry blossom lull him to sleep.

Sorry
if the chapter is too short but I was really too depressed to write anymore.
