Cardcaptor Syaoran
The Dark Clow Saga

Chapter 4: No Rest for Lovesick Men
It hadn't been long since I had told Kero about Baron Shleff and Cirrus Skylar. He had a good idea who Baron Shleff was, but he scratched the ball shaped head of his in confusion when it came Cirrus. He had to be my least favorite stuffed animal, cause he was too cute, plus he had an attitude. He explained that Baron Shleff was rival of Clow Reed, and how he had once spoke of a project to Clow and that project involved and elaborately laid scheme that need the pure love power of to true lovers. I didn't know what to say about that, I guess he got Meiling cause he wanted to lure me and try and abstract this power, but I only loved Meiling as a sister and nothing more. Kero believed that this plan was being carried out after Eons of scheming.
After he had told the tale we all moved into the den and I lay on the couch. I watched Sakura sit in an armchair and turn on the television. I fell asleep watching her flip through the channels. But sleep didn't come without its toll. My sleep was plagued with nightmares, but not your typical crop of nightmares mind you. The one that got me the most and the one I remember the best, concerned Sakura and me. I walked into a room with a dim purple light emanating from the ceiling window. Low organ music played in the distance. I had the feeling that I was in Phantom of the Opera and I shuddered to think what awaited me. I calmly walked forward and saw a figure bound to the organ pipes. In no way was this normal, especially considering that I heard organ music really far away and not from the organ. I studied the figures face hanging from the organ. No! It was Sakura, my Sakura! As I ran forward the organ seemed to move farther back, the distance between growing with each step I took. I stopped and caught my breath, when I noticed myself crying. I was crying because I couldn't get to my Sakura! I couldn't take! I took a few steps backwards and noticed that the distance shrunk, so I began to run backwards. As I ran I saw a figure playing the organ now. A long white cape was flapping in an invisible breeze. The figure turned around, bowed and snapped its fingers. I caught only a glimpse of his face. I looked behind me and saw a large spear fly overhead I watched as it overtook her. It stabbed into my Sakura! I felt the pain, the pain of death! I wept to this force, to the force of my love!
Then I woke up. Startled of course, with tears running from my eyes as if they had feet. I looked and I couldn't find Sakura! Where was she, where was my Sakura?! As I jumped up and pivoted on my toes I slammed into Tomoyo. She fell down in pain. I couldn't take seeing or sensing pain! I got down and ask her if she was okay. I helped her up and she responded by saying accidents will happen.
"Tomoyo! Where is Sakura!" I asked while still holding her hand.
"Relax Li, she's in the pool swimming! I was coming in to wake you and see if you wanted to swim."
I had just taken notice that she was in her swimsuit, but she wasn't wet. So I gathered that she just got in her suit.
"Yeah, sure! Let me get my trunks outta my bag!"
"Okay, see you out side Li!" She said cheerfully and ran to the pool.
I found my bag at the end of my couch. Before I had ran to the airport in Hong Kong I had ran to the wreckage and rummaged my bags out of the limousine. So I wasn't clothing less. I had made extra sure not to forget my bags, I had some notes to Sakura that I had wrote on the plain that I figured that I would give her the next time I saw her, I just didn't think it would be so early. I got my trunks out of my bag and walked into the bathroom to change. I grabbed a towel out of the cabinet and ran outside to the pool.
There was a silhouette in the pool. All distorted from the waves and sunlight in the pool. The figure emerged from the water it was Sakura. The water beaded off of her silky porcelain skin. Her hair glimmered and shined a thousand beautiful shades of brown. Then I thought back to the dream, how I couldn't sleep soundly without worrying about my Sakura. I went to the high dive and looked down at the glimmering water. Sakura was looking at me, intent on watching my form. I jumped once, then again and sprang off the diving board performing a double back flip before splashing into the pool. I shot from the depths swift and agile. When I sprang from the surface I heard applause from a corner, I rubbed my eyes to see Sakura and Tomoyo clapping and smiling. But Sakura's beautiful smile stuck out the most. Her perfect strait teeth were glimmering in the suns reflection from the waters surface. I simply blushed and rubbed the back of my head.
"Thanks! Hehehe!"
"That was great Li, such perfect form! I give you a ten!" shouted Tomoyo.
Sakura was now staring at me with a slight smirk. She got out of the pool and motioned me her way. I started for the ladder and saw Tomoyo was swimming to meet up with me, so I went a little slower.
"Li! Go get your Sakura!" she whispered. Then she dove under the surface leaving a small wake.
I walked towards the patio table where Sakura was sitting. She maintained that some million-dollar smile of hers and her stare that pierced into my soul. I sat down across from her and she got a frown on her usually delicate face.
"Where would you like me to sit Sakura?"
"Right beside me Li!" she said smiling.
My heart raced as I walked towards her. The sun was beading off the water on her body, accenting every silky curve. I took a deep breath and felt that slab of nervousness slid down my throat. My face was radiating a lot of heat; I could tell that I was blushing. She just looked and me, smiled, and grabbed my hand.
"Li. I haven't been entirely truthful to you."
My pupils shrank at her words, what came next was a total surprise.
"Li, it wasn't just that I missed you that I was crying, it was...it was because I finally realized that I...I had feelings for you other than that of just a friend."
She shot me a glance and gripped my hand tighter. At this point I had begun to grip her hand pretty tight too. She then closed her eyes and took a deep breath, a breath that I could feel in even my lungs. I was suddenly so calm. She opened her eyes and with her other hand turned my full attention her eyes by moving my head. I stared once again into those lovely lagoons shining with emerald love.
"Li..." I stopped her right there.
"Call me Syaoran, Sakura."
She looked shocked at my words, but was quick to restart.
"Syaoran...I felt really bad that I shoved you away every time you showed how much you care, and I didn't realize until you were gone, just how much I loved you. When you use to secretly incorporate stuff into your every words to show how much you loved me and when you vowed that you would never lie to me, and that you would die for me. These are all things that I needed time to think about. That's when I realized that I loved you Syaoran. That I truly loved you, and wanted you through any means necessary" she began to cry a little. "So Syaoran I..." I stopped her words.
"Sakura, you don't have to say it, cause just the things you have told me and the fact that you already said you loved me twice in that paragraph, is enough to tell me."
I noticed that Tomoyo had her camcorder and was filming this. So I leaned forward and my lips and the lips of my true love, finally met. We were finally together.
So what did you guys think? I put a lot of work into this chapter. But, the next chapter will be good to I hope. Please remember to review. You know the drill; I don't own anything in this story besides Shleff and Cirrus. Bye.
