Well, this is
my second chapter, and like you already know, I don't own CCS T-T and yes,
there will be more fluff, actually I'm finished with the story… but, I talk too
much, so, read and enjoy!
Happiness
The boy
took some steps forward and softly touched Sakura's face. Wiping the tears from
her cheeks.
"I hope
these tears weren't shed for me." He said softly to her "And if they were, I'm sorry. I'm sorry for
having made you wait so long. But I kept my promise. And now I make another. I
promise you I will stay forever by your side Sakura."
Sakura
couldn't help but shed new tears, more than before, but with a very different
feeling. She wished this moment would last forever. Without thinking she jumped
in his arms and hugged him like never before. She didn't want to let go. Even
after she knew his new promise was real. And when she felt his arms around her
back and waist she knew that love was the most powerful force in this world.
Tomoyo's words were still present in her mind. And she loved her friend for
saying them.
"I love you
Syaoran" she said softly in to his ear
He pulled
her away and looked at her with his very familiar intense gaze. Their faces
close to each other. "I love you too Sakura." He whispered low enough so only she could hear. He took her head and lay
it again on his shoulders.
Tomoyo from
only a few feet away was as happy a Sakura.
"Why didn't
I bring my camera to school this very day?" she said to herself
"It was
about time." said a voice behind her.
"You were
right Eriol. Destiny always finds a way." said Tomoyo giving him another kiss
on the cheek. He smiled warmly, took her face and pressed his lips against
hers.
Syaoran
pulled Sakura away once more, taking his hand to her face wiping the last of
her tears. Sakura put her hand over his and cuddled her face with it. With his
other hand he lifted her chin a bit, getting her attention.
"Sakura, I
have so much to tell you, and I also want to know what you have done, when can
I see you again?"
She lowered
his hand from her face and took it between her both hands and thought for a
moment.
"I also
want to talk to you, but, when are you free?" she asked him
"I'm free
when you are." He said
"Oh! I
know! Tomoyo gave me two tickets to go to the carnival. But… I was supposed to
go with her" she said putting her hand on her chin.
From behind
some bushes, Eriol and Tomoyo were still eavesdropping. Hearing this, Tomoyo
fell hard on the floor. She got up quickly and rushed over full speed to where
the reunited couple was.
"Sakura!
Oh, I forgot to tell you! Tomorrow I will be busy, so I can't go to the
carnival, but why don't you take Li?" she said signalling Syaoran, then she
looked up at him "Oh hello Li, it's a good thing your back!" she greeted bowing
in front of him.
Sakura and
Li both had question marks above their heads. Syaoran bowed not knowing what
else to do. No one said a word. A sweat drop appeared on Tomoyo's head.
"Well I have
to go now! Bye! Have fun at the carnival!" she said taking off at full speed
again. Leaving a very confused couple behind her .
*****************************
On the way
home Sakura was more than happy, she was ecstatic. She was making up for the 2
months of depression. She flung the door open and yelled "I'm home!" Kero came down to receive her knowing
Fujitaka wasn't home. Touya had already established his presence.
"How was
your d-- ahhhhh!" shouted Kero as his
Mistress suddenly grabbed him and began to swing him around the room like a
crazy merry-go-round.
"Kero! I'm
so happy! Syaoran came back!" yelled Sakura
Kero still
dizzy from the wild ride tried to make sense of his world. "The brat is back?
To stay?" he asked
"Yes!!"
Sakura shouted again and took Kero in her arms hugging him. Poor Kero was
suffocating. 'So he is back. Well that doesn't please me much, but I'm glad
Sakura is herself once more.' Kero thought.
Sakura went
up to her room and plopped herself on the bed remembering what had just
happened. Sakura couldn't believe it. In just a couple of minutes her life had
gone from melancholic, to perfect. She
was sorry she had ever doubted him, but everything would be fine now.
His soft
hand wiping her tears away. Not for the first time. But this time there was
much more emotion than before.
"So what
did he say to you?" asked Kero interrupting her precious thoughts
"Huh? Oh,
well he asked me if we could talk, and I said yes. We're going to the carnival
tomorrow. Do you want to come?"
"No thanks,
but don't forget to bring me some thing." he said, "So what are you going to wear?"
Sakura's
eyes widened, she hadn't thought about it.
"Ahhhhhhh!
I have absolutely nothing to wear!" she screamed
She jumped
up from her bead and ran for the closet frantically digging between drawers and
hangers. Throwing out several pieces of garment. Kero was trying his best to
dodge them. Only the heel of one of Sakura's shoes defeated him.
"No… no,
no, no, too yellow, no, no, too short, no, too old, no, no, no, too casual, no,
no, no, what the heck is this? Ahhhhhh!" she screamed very desperate.
She quickly
got up and dialled Tomoyo's number. It rang once, twice, three times. 'Come
on pick up.' Sakura thought to herself
"Hello?"
"Tomoyo?"
asked Sakura
"Yes? How
are you Sakura? Doing better?" Tomoyo asked
"Yes,
thanks. Um, listen, I need you to do me a favor… can you?" she asked anxiously
"You know
that if I can I will. What is it?" she asked
Sakura took
a deep breath and sighed. "Well you know that Syaoran and I have a… date…
tomorrow. And well I, was kinda looking in my closet… and well, I don't really
have anyth-" she started
"Ahhhh! Say
no more!" Tomoyo practically shouted "I
can't believe I have the chance to design the clothes for Sakura's first lovely
date with Li! This emotion is indescribable!"
"Um, can
you do it then?" asked Sakura, with a small sweat drop on her forehead.
"Of course!
You can count on me Sakura. I will not let you down!" Tomoyo confirmed
"Thank you
so much Tomoyo… for everything. Thank you for being there, for trying, and for
believing… you don't know how much I cherish you. I don't know what I would do
without you." said Sakura
"Sakura,
you would do the same for me, you don't owe me anything. I love you, you are my
best friend. And can always count on me, I promise" said Tomoyo
"Thank you
Tomoyo" answered Sakura
"What are
friends for?"
