Sakura in Paris
Part Five: The First Night
Raye: Pass the popcorn.
Ameoba Boy: Hey! Let me have some!
(A squabble over the popcorn ensues, Raye winning.)
Li: Weakling.
(Ameoba Boy sighs and looks down sadly.)
Blair Witch: Oh, don't look so sad, honey. Here, hold this for me while I get my camera out of my purse.
(The Blair Witch hands Ameoba Boy a set of rusty, blood-encrusted knives.)
Raye: You can have some popcorn now, Ameoba Boy. Ameoba Boy? Ameoba Boy?
(Raye looks over to see a fainted Ameoba Boy and a humming Blair Witch rummaging through her purse. She sighs and shakes her head.)
Raye: On with the next fic part. (~ _~)
{Disclaimer}
Don't bother me! I'm thinking up the next part!
I told you once before, Joe, I did not make Cardcaptors!
You idiot! I told you that once before, too! Clamp did!
Arggh! Someone get me a new secretary!!!
Ranea dropped Sakura's bags beside the canopy bed. "The same room as always, Chere`."
"Where's Li's room?" Sakura asked absently as she threw the Kero-filled bookbag onto the bed.
Ranea grinned. "Misseuir Li's room is across the hall. You know, originally, you and your friend were to stay in the same room. Do you still wish for those arangements?"
Sakura blushed. "Well....no....I....really...." She looked up at the grinning Ranea. "Oh, you meanie!" She picked up a pillow and threw it at the laughing maid.
"We grew up together, Chere`! I know you better than most! You care much about this boy, no?"
Sakura blushed again. "Don't say anything Ranea."
Ranea nodded understandingly. "You must tell 'im sometime, Chere`. Better sooner than later."
Sakura nodded. "I will before the summer's over. I know I will."
Ranea grinned wryly. "I 'ope you do, Chere`. I 'ope you do."
"Do you like the quarters, Sir?" Jacque said politely as Li gazed wonderingly around the room.
"Oh, it's perfect, Jacque! Thank you!"
Jacque grinned. "Is good. See you in a while, Sir." The butler turned to leave.
"Call me Li, not Sir, please."
Jacque stopped and smiled. "Yes, Li."
That night, after a very fancy, french dinner:
"So, you two are allowed free rein of the 'ouse and grounds, and you are free to do whatever you wish, just as long as you stay out of trouble. For tonight, you can do whatever you please, but tomorrow, oh, 'ow much planned I've planned! After breakfast, we'll go out on the town, and then after dinner, we'll 'ave a small party and I can show you both off to my friends and neighbors! Oh, what fun!"
Li and Sakura grinned back at the happy woman. Sakura nudged Li in the side.
"So what do you want to do?"
Li shrugged. "I don't know. Do you have anything planned?"
Sakura grinned. "Well, it's been five years since the last time I was here, and I'm sure the Garden's changed....."
"We can go for a walk if you want."
Sakura's grin widened. "Thanks Li! That's just what I wanted to do!"
"Be sure to be back inside in an 'our or two, dears." Grannie Marie called after the two as they rushed out the doors. She sighed wistfully.
"'Ow 'ealth is wasted on the youth."
Jacque grinned and nodded in agreement as Ranea and two other maids, Bellabou` and Pirovoti, began to clear the spacious grand table.
Kero groaned as he pulled himself from Sakura's bookbag. The Guardian of the Clow did not look at all happy or healthy. His normal yellowish-gold skin had a sickly green tinge to it. He groaned again as he plopped onto the bed face-first, his face spreading flat onto the bedspread, the pefect picture of misery.
"No more .....Twinkies.....and .....plane rides..... for..... me....."
Sakura sighed happily. The Garden hadn't changed at all since the last time she was here, shortly after her ninth birthday. It was exactly how she remembered it.
"There's the swing!"
Sakura ran to the wicker-and-pine swing and sat, swinging back and forth and humming contentedly. Li watched her for a moment, gulped nervously, and came to sit by her.
"This is nice." Sakura said drowzily, not even bothering to open her eyes. Li nodded and leaned back. The stars were out and twinkled down merrily at the two.
Sakura sighed. "Poor Grannie Marie. Life's been so much harder for her since Granpa died...."
Li lowered his head apologetically. "I'm sorry..."
Sakura opened her eyes. "Don't be. I don't really remember him that well. He was always in London, or New York, or some other foreign place on business."
"How....how did he die? If it's not too much to ask." Li said softly.
"In a boating accident. His cruise ship and a tanker collided with each other not too far from here."
Li and Sakura both sighed sadly. Sakura leaned over, stopping the swing with her feet, and stared down at the dirt ground. Li leaned over as well.
They looked up and froze. They were so close. Their noses were almost touching.
Li gulped. Sakura looked so beautiful right then. Her emerald green eyes were glowing in the starlight, and her hair had a silvery sheen to it. He wished she knew about his feelings...
Sakura held her breath. Li was so cute and forbidding-looking right then. And he was so nice to her....
Sakura leaned closer to Li, holding her breath, their lips almost touching .......
Heaven: OH MY GOD!! YOU ARE BEYOND CRUEL!!!!
Raye: It's a gift.
Max: SHUT THE HELL UP! THE FAT-DUDE'S ABOUT TO DIE!!
Everyone: SPOIL THE MOVIE, WHY DON'T YA!!
Blair Witch (In a very calm, quiet voice): Everyone will shut up, or I'll dissembowel all of you.
(Complete and utter silence.)
Blair Witch (Humming contentedly): That's better......
(Fat-dude dies, Sakura screams and clutches Li's hand.)
Li (Gasping in pain): You're ....squeezing.....too.....tight!
(Sakura blushes and let's go of his hand, but manages to edge closer to him on the couch. Li shakes his hand and blows on it, then blushes when he realizes how close Sakura is.....)
Max: Everyone is beyond sad....
Everyone: SHUT UP NOW!!!
(Utter silence again...)
