I don't own
any of the CCS characters… not even Syaoran T-T, and I wrote this just cuz I had
nothing to do one day, so, please don't sue me, and enjoy…
The Date
"Wow. You
look really good in that. Did Tomoyo make it?" asked Kero, still with a small
Band-Aid on his head from yesterday's frantic closet search.
"Yes. Poor
Tomoyo. She was up all night, trying to finish it. But it's very nice isn't it?
Simple but very nice. And she was very happy when she gave it to me." said Sakura straitening out some wrinkles on
the fabric.
Tomoyo had
made a beautiful pink dress. It was short and tight, not like the outfits she
would use to make for Sakura when she had a card to catch. No sleeves. Tied at
the neck. With a purse and platform sandal like shoes.
"You wear
lipstick?" asked Kero
"Well. I do
now." she replied not looking up from the mirror, as she carefully lined her
lips with pink lipstick.
"Why do you
get so dressed up now? You used to
dress normally years ago, and he still fell for you didn't he?" said Kero
Sakura just
looked at him and gave him a warm smile. She picked him up and gave him a kiss
on his little cheek staining him with pink lipstick. He blushed a little.
Sakura set
him down and looked over at her clock "Oh! I'm late! Tell Touya when he gets
here I'll be back after nine but before eleven OK? "Bye Kero!"
"Have a
good time"
*******************
Syaoran was
at the Penguin park relaxing against a post looking anxiously in both
directions hoping to see a beautiful, thin girl, with auburn hair, emerald
green eyes, and the most beautiful smile. Not seeing her, he looked at his
watch again. It read five ó seven just like it did 5 seconds ago. He sighed and
suddenly saw some movement to his left. He turned and hoped to see her. But
instead, he saw a grown woman, like twenty seven with wavy greyish hair, and a
beautiful smile.
Normally he
would have let her pass, but there was something about her that caught his
attention. The woman suddenly realised someone was looking at her; she turned
and smiled at him. 'Those eyes' he thought turning a light shade of pink. She
had lovely emerald eyes… just like…
"Syaoran!"
a small but lively voice said from a far.
He looked
up and spotted an angel. Her hair let loose with only 2 berets, swaying with
the wind. Her lips shining more than ever her beautiful contagious smile.
"I'm sorry!
Have you been waiting for a long time?" she asked him
"No…" he
said a little nervous and blushing a bit. It had been 5 years since he saw her.
And she had grown. The dress Tomoyo had made for her made her body look prettier
than it already was.
"Come on.
Lets go!" she said
He was so
glad to hear her voice. It had changed a bit but it made him remember old
times, and it reassured him that she was happy with him. He turned once more to
where the mysterious woman was but he saw nothing.
*****************************
"So Meilin
is engaged again?" asked Sakura
"Yup. He
seems like a nice guy, and more importantly, he seems to love Meilin, although
I think no one will ever be good enough for my cousin." answered Syaoran
Sakura
smiled a bit. She knew Syaoran didn't love Meilin like he loved her. But she
was still his cousin and Sakura understood he was a bit jealous. "Well I'm
happy for her, she has done so many wonderful things for me… for us" said
Sakura, constantly licking her ice cream.
They had
come to the carnival and played some games. Sakura was absolutely smothered in
stuffed animals Syaoran had won for her. Although he had to carry them all. She
had won a little stuffed wolf for him. Now they were at a table both with ice
cream and catching on.
"Well
Chiharu and Yamazaki are still together. And I honestly don't know how, but
Yamazaki has been telling less and less lies over the years. I thought she
would never achieve it. But, love concurs all." said Sakura
"I agree."
answered Syaoran looking deep into her eyes.
Sakura
blushed a bit and licked her ice cream.
"Um… listen
Sakura." He said looking away and
toying his ice cream cone with his fingers. "There's something I want to tell you, but I need you to answer some
questions before I say this." he said to her standing up.
"Sure.
Anything." replied Sakura.
"Well… you
love me don't you?" she nodded and smiled "OK, and you're sure you will never…
get sick of me, if I am with you for the rest of your life?" He asked getting
more and more nervous with every word.
"Of course
not." said Sakura; a little curiosity was growing inside her. She wondered if
he was going to say what she was thinking.
Syaoran
could feel a cannon ball in his throat. He started to blush, first a light pink
than rapidly began to turn a deeper and deeper red. "And you will love me
forever?" he asked almost unable to breath.
"Yes…"
Sakura said, she too getting exited.
"Well, OK
then. Here I go. Sakura, I would like it very, very much, if… you know, you…
we, became more than just… boy friend and girl friend. So do you think you and
I could… well…" Syaoran stammered, so red now Sakura was afraid he would faint
"Would you say yes… if I, well… if I asked you… to… be… engaged… to me?"
Sakura put
her hand over his and made him look at her. He was still a bit red and didn't
know what to say. Sakura just smiled and kissed his hand softly.
"You look
so cute when you're nervous and blushing." she said to him
Syaoran
stood stiffer than a block of wood, 'I was blushing?' he thought. He
continued to look at her waiting for an answer, more insecure now, than in all
his life.
Sakura also
stood up, right in front of him. She had to look up a little. He had really
grown. She smiled and put her arms around his neck. She gave him a kiss… on the cheek. Standing up on her tippy toes
even though her shoes had heels. She pulled away and looked at him again still
with that cute insecure face. She smiled once more lay her head on his chest
and put her arms around his body.
"What do
you think I'm going to say?" she asked him
Syaoran
looked from one side to another. He was never good at catching indirect
answers. And even though this one was really direct, the blood rushing up to
his head had made him a little dizzy and he wasn't thinking as clearly as he
usually did. Calming down feeling Sakura so close to him, he finally figured it
out.
"Oh! This
is to good to be true!" Tomoyo whispered in the shadows behind a bush. "I can't
believe I got this on video!" She
turned around hugged and kissed Eriol. "Oh thank you for inviting me to the
carnival!"
Eriol
smiled and hugged her back "I just want
to make you happy. Because you make me happy." he smiled. Tomoyo turned and
just starred at him. 'The heck with Sakura and Li' she thought she put
her camera down and took Eriol's hand to help her up.
"What's
your favourite stuffed animal?" Eriol asked Tomoyo taking her into the
carnival.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
A/N: it's good to see Tomoyo back to normal, and like I said last time, I know she loves Sakura, but Eriol and her make a much more kawaii couple don't you think?? ^_^
