Well here I
am again, and I would like to give a very special thanks to my first reviewer…
and of course to all of my other ones… so I am about well, ¬¬' no I'll shut up…
Chapter 4: The Dream
"Thank you
for a wonderful night Syaoran. And for walking me home." said Sakura
"I wasn't
about to let you walk home alone this time of night. Besides I wouldn't have
seen you 15 minutes more." He answered her
It was
late, like 11:30, even though Sakura said she would be home before eleven. She
wasn't worried though. But unknown to her, someone else was. Touya had been at
the window since eleven. When he got home Kero had told him Sakura went out. He
didn't tell him it was on a date. Touya didn't even know Syaoran was back. And
Kero knew that Touya was even less fond of Syaoran than he was. So he decided to keep his mouth shut.
"Well,
tomorrow there's no school, so maybe we could go out again. I'll call you."
said Syaoran to her.
"OK, that
sounds good… " said Sakura,
She paused
a bit looking form one side to another, and then back at Syaoran. He smiled,
his odd smile, seen more often now, and started to move close to her. Sakura
was on a step so she didn't have to get on her tiptoes any more. 'All right
that's it!' thought Touya as he stormed to the door. Just an inch was left
between Syaoran and Sakura's lips. Closer, closer, almost…
"SO!…" Touya said practically shouting
"Ahhhh!"
they both shouted in unison. They looked up at Touya. Sakura had a sweat drop
on her forehead. Syaoran had his usual little vein popping out. Touya did also.
Touya
starred. Syaoran starred. Sakura just kept looking from Syaoran to Touya. From
Touya to Syaoran. 'Apparently,
nothing has changed' she thought to
herself.
"It's late
squirt. You better go inside." said Touya to Sakura breaking the silence but
not moving his eyes an inch.
"All right.
I'm coming… Good night Syaoran." she said
"Good
night." He said smiling and ignoring Touya for the first time.
Sakura
looked at her brother and raised an eyebrow. Touya stormed back in the house
and left them alone, getting the clue. Syaoran took Sakura's face in his hands
and levelled his lips with hers. Sakura let herself be taken by the moment and
shut her eyes. It wasn't a very long kiss. Actually is was quiet short, but it
felt like an eternity and Syaoran's lips felt so sweet against Sakura's. They
finally broke off and just looked at each other for a while. They blushed and
smiled at the same time.
"Good
night. See you tomorrow." Syaoran said to Sakura.
Sakura watched him as he got to the end of
the block, turned back and waved, then disappeared behind the houses. Sakura
waved back, sighed and smiled. She turned and walked back to her house. Touya
was waiting for her, his usual angry face. Seeing him, Sakura also put on her angry
face.
"Why are
you so mean to us? Syaoran and I are now a permanent couple. Please just try to
accept him… For me." She said to him growing less angry. "I promise you he will
take good care of me."
Touya just
sighed and looked at her. "Give me some time… and don't push it in front of
me." He said to her
Sakura
smiled and kissed him on the forehead. Her brother was always over protective
with her, and she knew that he had always been very jealous, but he really did
care for her. She went up to her room. Kero was already asleep, so Sakura
undressed and put on her PJ's in silence. She tucked herself in and sighed one
last time, and then she went to sleep with a smile on her face.

'Do you
know what balance is?'
'Yes.' asked
Sakura searching for the source of the voice.
'Nature… is
a huge balance, this whole world is a living balance… but… you have disrupted
it!' yelled a voice
Sakura
still searching for the source suddenly saw something. Two balls of energy, one
black, the other white. A lot like the light and dark. But they were different,
the white sphere was bigger than the black one. It wasn't a huge difference,
but you could see it.
'You are
right, we are a balance also. We have chosen these forms in order for you to
understand. You are an extra weight in us, and we are sorry to say you need to
be eliminated. You have great magical power, but it has grown uncontrollably.
Before, there was only Clow. Then there was you, but Clow reincarnated. The
balance had a somewhat acceptable difference, but you and Li Syaoran have
increased your powers and the balance in now unequal. So an elimination is
necessary… you are the only one who does not belong here.'
Sakura was
watching all this from above. She saw the two spheres and she saw herself
talking to them. And she could feel what the Sakura down there felt. 'What
is this? Who are they? What am I doing down there?' she wondered to
herself.
'Can't I
just give you my magic powers?' asked Sakura very insecure she knew she had to
give an answer.
'Unfortunately,
it cannot be this way. If we could we would. But your life is worth just as
much and more than you magical powers put together. In other words, two magical sources, can make one life. And we
need you to disappear completely, your life and your magical power too. Three
sources. We are very sorry to inform
you. But we felt it right to tell you before we actually did it. We will come
and take you soon, but you won't know when, so please we are very sorry, but we
cannot do this by force. You have to agree, that you will no longer exist. If
you do not this world will not have a natural balance, and it will die.'
Sakura had
tears in her eyes. Suddenly in her hands was the fate of the whole world. And
everybody she knew. Tomoyo, Eriol, her father, Touya, all her friends. Syaoran.
'I'll do
it…' she answered
'This
can't be! This isn't real.' Sakura said from above also starting to cry
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Ahhhhh!"
she screamed freeing her arms from the sheets that seemed to strangle her. She
looked around her room. It was dimly lit by the rising sun.
"Are you
ok?" asked Kero suddenly in front of her
"I'm fine…
just, I, just had a nightmare, that's all. Thanks." She said getting up
In the
bathroom, she wiped her face, and looked at herself in the mirror. 'Was it
real? Or was it just a dream?' she was worried. She had to tell someone.
She called Syaoran.
