A/N #1: Sakura and Syaoran are 20 in my fic. They both attend Tokyo University and have been a couple since Syaoran came back to Japan 5 years ago. Now they live together in an apartment complex pretty close to the campus.
A/N #2: Again 'salamat' to all of those you reviewed my fic. I do hope that this chapter is to your liking and I also hope that you all review. Oh, I have decided to add a new chapter to this every Sunday, due to the fact that I have finals to study for and I am also working on my other fic "Out of all Places, It Had to be Hong Kong", which I must say is doing fine and most people think that it is pretty good. So to all those who like this story, I am apologizing ahead of time for the long wait.
Disclaimer I do not, nor will I ever own CCS, because Clamp does. So don't sue me, because I am broke.
CHAPTER 5
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The next day . . .
Sakura woke up a little early that day. Since Syaoran was planning to have a really tough practice, she decided to make a breakfast that would make sure he had enough energy to last through the day.
Syaoran was sleeping peacefully, until his nose could smell the savory fragrance of bacon, eggs, sausages, and French toast.
'Mmmm, something smells good.' Syaoran thought, as he was approaching the door to the kitchen.
Sakura was cooking, until she heard the door squeak.
"Well, good morning. I trust you had a good sleep." Sakura said.
"You know that you didn't have to do this." Syaoran replied.
"I know, but I wanted to."
"That's one of the reasons why I love you so much. You insist on helping, even if it is not needed."
"Well, I am glad that you feel that way, but I didn't cook all this food just for it to get cold, now eat."
"Yes ma'am."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
15 minutes later . . .
"Man, that was probably the best thing I have ever eaten on my life." Syaoran commented
"I am glad you enjoyed it. But I think it's about time you get ready."
"Yeah." With that, Syaoran went to the bedroom and changed to his practice clothes. When Syaoran emerged from the bedroom, couldn't help but smile.
"Did I ever tell you how sexy you look in your practice clothes?" Sakura replied, as she walked closer to him.
"I don't know."
"Well, you do."
"If you think that's sexy, wait till you see my uniform." Syaoran said, pulling Sakura into a hug. "I'll be back before you know it."
"You better." Sakura said, giving Syaoran a light kiss on the lips before he left.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
12:45, at the school's quad . . ."Takai was waiting for Syaoran so they could go to practice. Suddenly, Takai could see the outline of a figure approaching fast. After a while, he realized that it was Syaoran.
"Sorry I'm a little late. I sort of got delayed." Syaoran apologized.
"Oh, that's alright. Let's just get a move on. We don't want to keep the team waiting now, do we?"
They both walked over to the student parking lot. There they took Takai's BMW convertible and went to the freeway. Unfortunately, when they arrived at the freeway, they ran into traffic. Syaoran then turned on the radio and tuned in to the freeway report.
"Whoa, looks like the freeway to Harunai Park will be pretty busy." the announcer said. "I estimate that it continue to be like this for at least 3 hours."
"What?! We can't be late. The coach will kill us." Syaoran exclaimed.
"Don't worry. He'll believe us. I am sure of it."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
3 hours later . . .
After, what seemed to be days, of being in the freeway. They finally reached Harunai Park. But when Syaoran exited the car, he didn't see any one of his teammates or his coach.
"Hey, where is everybody? Didn't you tell anyone about practice." Syaoran questioned.
"No. The only person that needed to be here was you."
"What? I don't get it."
"I was given orders by my master to make sure you stay away from the cherry blossom, by any means necessary."
"Stay away from Sakura? Why should I? And who is your master and what does he want?"
"I will not reveal my master's name, but his objective is to get the cherry blossom."
Syaoran couldn't believe what he was hearing. This was all just a way to get him away from his love. Then he realized something.
'Is that why Sakura has been so quiet lately? Did she know that someone is following her? If she did, why didn't she tell me.'
As soon as he finished thinking, he made a mad dash for the convertible. Unfortunately, Takai got in his way.
"I will not let you get in my master's way." With that, Takai's eyes changes from blue to black, in an instant. He then gave out a barrage of kicks and punches. Causing Syaoran to go on the defensive.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
5:00 p.m. at Tokyo Park . . .
Sakura was sitting on a bench reading. When she finished, she closed her book and began to leave until, a gust of wind, like the same one she felt a few days ago occurred.
"It's nice to see again, cherry blossom."
Sakura looked everywhere for the owner of the voice. When she looked up, she found what she was looking for. There, stood a boy, around her age, wearing black clothes, and holding a black staff.
"Who are you and what do you want?" Sakura asked, trying her best not to be scared.
"You may call me Kai, and what I want, is you." Kai said, giving a small, sinister smirk.
"Me?" Sakura questioned.
"Yes, you. You see, after watching you, I need you to be with me. Now come with me." Kai said, as he slowly descended and approached Sakura.
"Why would I want to come with you?" Sakura said, as she was backing up. Unfortunately, a tree stopped her.
"Because you have no choice."
Just then, Sakura called out her wand.
Oh Key of Clow.
Power of Magic, Power of Light.
Surrender the wand, the force ignite.
Release
The light that Sakura was emitting blinded Kai. He was so busy shielding his eyes, that he didn't here Sakura send out a card toward him.
"Windy, bind this person with a rope of wind." As soon as Sakura said those words, the card did what it was told. She flew to Kai, and used her powers to tie Kai to a nearby tree. After Windy did what she was told, Sakura called her back and ran as fast as she can. Hoping to escape Kai's wrath.
'What a wonderful time for Syaoran's coach to have practice.' Sakura thought as she ran.
