No Longer A Child
Forever Yours

Saturday for Sakura passed very slowly. She was bored for most of the day. She had never realized how much Kero slept during the day. It was baffling. Though, it was to be expected. If Kero consumed something, he consumed it in large quantities. If he could get his hands on a Sam's Club membership, we would never see him again.
Sakura flicked around the channels for a while. " 120 channels and there is nothing good on TV to watch. What is the point of this digital cable?" She wondered out loud. She finally rested on some cartoons that weren't to stupid, even if it was just a cat chasing a bird with a frying pan. She figured out if she made different combinations of non-cable and cable channels she could get Spanish soap operas. She finally got bored of brushing up on her Spanish and turned the TV off. She reread the Hobbit. Then finished Lord Of the Rings. 'Stupid speed reading class. I can't even read a book slowly so I don't get bored. Although, 1936 pages of literature will sure boost my IQ some points.' She reasoned in her mind, 'I could go get a tan.' Suddenly lightning flashed over head and all the lights went out. 'Screw that idea. Internet? No power. Solitaire? Played it three times. Wake Kero? And get my head bit off? No way.' She signed in defeat and went to get a flashlight.
After she had alphabetized all the books in the library, all of the CDs in the house and all of her stuffed animals by name she did her homework. Then she cleaned the house the best she could. She had lunch. After that she tried to call her father, only to find the line was still day. Her dad was at work and her brother was at his third part-time job this month. Finally she got an idea. She got out her good paint set and started painting. The paint had just dried when her father got home.
"Sakura! What happen to your cast!?" he shouted. "Do you like it? It's a painting of the park. Can you tell?" She questioned. She had painted a very detailed picture of the park with all the sakura blossoms blooming around the lake. It was a beautiful. It was remarkable like a Monet. The style was the same. "Yes, and it's a beautiful painting, but won't that ruin your cast?" He wondered. "No. I checked the label. It's water free. I got so bored while you were gone! I painted my crutches too! The plain color was so boring!" Mr.Kinomoto's jaw was hanging wide open. "What!? I was REALLY bored."
(The Next Morning)
Syoaran decided not to call until 10:30 am because Sakura probably needed her rest. He remembered what it was like to have many broken bones.
~~~~~*Flashback*~~~~~
(AN. I made up this flashback.)
The card had taken the shape of a towering blue dragon. Syoaran held his sword out in front of him. One of two things he hated about china was dragons. The other was being without Sakura. Another set of cards had appeared in china so he had to go back. He hadn't told Sakura about it, just that he had to go home for family reasons. The blue dragon shot and inferno of green fire toward him. He dodged it and counter-attacked with a powerful earth element from his sword. The dragon loomed above him. The earth knocked the wind out of it and wrapped itself around it's chest, not allowing any air to reenter the mighty dragons lungs. The dragon struggled to free itself, but it was a vain attempt. The ominous creature looked at Syoaran. The boy stood unshaken, glaring at the him with eyes of a tiger. Syoaran's position was defiant. The dragon cried out in roar of anguish. It's majestic head fell to the ground away from Syoaran. He bowed in head in respect for the noble creature. He didn't see the huge tail descending upon him.
Syoaran felt and HEARD bones break. He screamed in agony. The tail must have weighed a ton. As soon as the full weight was on him, he lay still, gathering his strength and energy. After a while he, with much difficulty, lifted the tail. He felt he legs and arms, and quickly analyzed his situation. 'OK, two broken ribs, three bones in my right led and on in the left, and two in my left arm. I also have a three mile walk home. I better get started.' So he walked the agonizing walk home, where he slept for three days straight and couldn't even sit up.
~~~~~*End Flashback*~~~~~
The phone rang three times before Touya picked up. "Moshi Moshi, Kinomoto residence," he said. "Good morning, Kinomoto-san. This is Li Syaoran, can I talk to Sakura. Is she awake yet?" Syoaran had to chose his words carefully or Touya would scream at him and hang up the phone. "Yeah, she's awake. I can't be sure she wants to take any calls right now. I'll ask, but I can't promise you anything, gaki," Touya replied coldly. "Sakura, do you want to talk to the gaki?" Syoaran heard Touya yell. Then he heard someone else. "Touya, how many time do I have to tell you not to yell across the house?" That was defiantly Sakura's father. Suddenly he heard what he wanted to hear. "Of course I want to talk to Syoaran! You better not hang up on him; And he's not a gaki. He's not rude, like you!" Sakura's angelic voice came through the phone. "It's your lucky day, gaki. I'm required to be nice to Sakura's while she's injured," he said to Syoaran.
"Hi, Syoaran. I'm so glad you called. I lost your number, and I was SO bored. But, I'd be glad to hear you anyway. What's up?" She asked. She sounded very cheerful for someone with a freshly broken leg. "I invite you to my house for a special dinner, tonight." he took on a quite formal tone. Sakura giggled and replied, "I accept your invitation. Can you pick me up? What time?" "I'll pick you up at 7:00. Wear the dress you were going to wear for the dance," He hung up without another word.
(AN I'm impatient, so I'm just going to skip right to 6:53)
"You can turn around now, Kero," Sakura announced. Kero turned around and his jaw dropped as far as a magical creature's jaw can. Sakura was wearing a dress so pale pink it was almost white. It had spaghetti straps that had more elastic material that curved tightly around her arm like a vine in remarkable designs. The straps were of a slightly darker pink. The dress hugged her upper body tightly and became more loose at the waist. It had an incredible bow in the back with glittering cherry blossoms. It had maybe 7 millimeters at most of cleavage, so as to accentuate the positive, but not to seem too sluttish. Her hair was pulled up in a high ponytail with so many curls falling down to her shoulders. A few stray curls fell in her face. She had put glitter streaks in her hair an hour before. The wouldn't have looked good on anyone else but Sakura.
"You look like....a goddess. If the gaki doesn't like it, he must have fallen out of the stupid tree and hit every branch on the way down. Maybe that wouldn't even be enough. If Master Clow could see who he picked to be cardcaptor now, he would go into a state of shock," Kero was in almost a state of shock himself. "Honto?" she asked in an amused voice.
"Really, you shouldn't have been afraid of change, because change has treated you VERY well."
"Kero!" Sakura exclaimed in shock. She was blushing like a wildfire. Sakura looked at her clock. "Syoaran should be here any minute. I'm going downstairs to wait for him. If you get tired of playing Zylon Warriors I have a computer game rigged up on the PC for you. You'll have to use your brain AND your skill," she said as she walked out the door. She was almost out when Kero piped up, "Sakura," he said in a serious voice, "Good luck." He smiled gently up at her. She smiled back and walked down the stairs.
"Kaijuu! Wow, are you sure you're my sister," Touya's eyes got huge when he saw Sakura. Yukito was there too. "Sakura you look wonderful! You.." Yukito was saying when the doorbell rang. "I'll get it," Touya offered. Before Sakura's could protest, Touya and Syoaran were having a death-glare contest. "I'm here for Sakura. Is she ready?" Syoaran asked coldly.
"She is, gaki. It's very simple; you hurt her, I hurt you. Deal?"
"Deal."
Deep down Touya knew Syoaran would never hurt his sister, but, hey, he had a reputation to keep up. Sakura came to the door. She kissed her brother on the cheek and said to Syoaran, "I'm ready to go." "Y-you l-look w-w-wonderful," he stuttered. His face was beet red. He held his arm out for her to help her down the stairs. "These crutches don't really go with my dress, but I have to keep them for a month! (Did I mention she still had the crutches and the cast?) Goodbye Touya!" She called to her brother.
Syaoran helped her into the car taxi. "I'm sorry it's a taxi again. I don't get my license till next month."
"It's OK. I don't mind."
(Syoaran's Apartment)
"Close your eyes," Syoaran said before he opened the door. Sakura did so. He opened the door and put his hands over her eyes. "Walk forward," he commanded gently, "Keep going forward...... Oooookkkaayyy...Stop." He uncovered her eyes. He had the Stereo playing "I Hope You Dance" by Leanne Womack. The lights were low and the table was set for two. There was a sign the read Sakura's Fall Festival Dance/Dinner in silver letters. Sakura started to cry tears of happiness. She turned around and embraced Syoaran. "Thank you. This is wonderful. You didn't have to do this," she cried softly. "I know, demo Aishiteru, Sakura." He turned his head and kissed Sakura on the lips. It was a gently kiss, with no force what-so-ever in it. It was so kind and warm. She kissed him back. They kissed until the ran out of air. "Aishiteru, Syoaran"
A figure on the window watch the couple menacingly. "I thought she would end up with me. It seems I underestimated something. Was it her courage? Maybe her will-power? Maybe it was her love for HIM. Well, if something doesn't come to you, make it. Move to plan B. You'll be mine Sakura, the easy way, or the hard way," He growled and hopped to the ground, then ran off.
