The Results of the Romeo and Juliet Auditions
Juliet~ Sakura Kinomoto
Romeo~ Syaoran Li
Mercutio~ Eriol
Hiragizawa
Tybalt~ Yulin Un
Benvolio~ Ping Lin
Juliet's Nurse~ Rika Sasaki
Tibelt's Servant~ Takashi Yamazaki
Costume Designer~ Tomoyo Daidouji
(A.N.: Ping, Rika and Yamazaki have no other part in this story. I just put them in because I ran out of people to put in for the parts. Remember, Mercutio is Romeo's best bud who is played by the one and only, Eriol. Yes, Juliet did have a nurse and she played and important part in getting the two together and married. I remembered that part very well. Benvolio is another friend of Romeo and Mercutio but he's not very important so I just made up another character for him. You will never hear from Ping again! Also remember that Tibelt is the bad guy. If my memory serves me right, Tybalt kills the best friend, but I'm not totally sure, so I'll just kill the gaki before he causes any problems. ^_^ Sorry, but that's all the parts I need for the play and I know there should me more for it, but I wasn't in the mood to make up more names. Just use those big imaginations that you guys all have! ^_^)
"YEAAAA!!!" Sakura screamed after seeing the results. "I got the part of Juliet and Syaoran got the part of Romeo!!!!" she shouted jumping up and down excitedly.
Syaoran was shocked. 'I actually got the part of Romeo. I cannot believe it!'
Eriol saw the shocked expression on his little descendant's face. "Guess you got your revenge, Syaoran."
All Syaoran could do was nod.
"This is soooo kawaii!! This means I get to make a costume for Syaoran and Sakura again just like old times when we were in elementary school together!" Tomoyo said happy as ever.
Everyone sweat dropped (again) and walked away from the results to let other people look at them.
"At least I don't have to wear a pink frilly dress like last time," Syaoran said remembering the dress he had to wear for the Sleeping Beauty play when they were in elementary school.
"Instead Sakura does," Eriol mumbled.
"Omedetou you two. This is soooo exciting!" Tomoyo said with stars in her eyes.
"So looks like we will be partners in something besides Cardcapturing, Syaoran," Sakura said sounding excited and inside she wanted to jump for joy. 'I can't believe it. Syaoran got Romeo and I'm Juliet. Maybe if I'm lucky, we'll get to kiss. I hope so.'
Syaoran's shocked face then turned into a smile. "Hai, guess so."
"You two did a wonderful job on the audition," Mrs. Smith said, walking up to the two Cardcaptors.
"Arigato, Mrs. Smith," Sakura said.
"Yea, Arigato," Syaoran said being polite.
"WHAT!!!!!!"
Everyone looked over to see who the scream was coming from. Over looking at the results, was Yulin with his jaw dropped down to the pavement.
"HE DIDN'T DO THAT WELL!!! I'M SUPPOSED TO BE ROMEO!!" Yulin screamed.
Sakura, Syaoran, Eriol, and Tomoyo couldn't help but to laugh.
"Guess somebody thought differently, Yulin," Eriol said laughing.
"Guess this will teach you Yulin. What comes around, goes around," Sakura said giggling.
'I'll teach them! No one gets away with making fun of me,' Yulin thought. 'I'll teach them not to make fun of me or my name isn't Yulin Un.'
~*~*~*~*Sakura's House (Right After School)~*~*~*~*
"Tadiama," Sakura said as she entered the house and shut the door behind her.
"Okaerinasai, Kajiuu," Touya said coming from the kitchen.
"Kajiuu ja nani!" Sakura yelled at her older brother.
"You may not be an actual kajiuu, Sakura, but you will ALWAYS be my little kajiuu, little sis," Touya said.
Sakura sighed. "Guess what?" she said, sounding excited.
"What?" Touya asked confused.
"I got the part of Juliet in the play and Syaoran got the part of Romeo!!"
"Honto ni??"
"Yeppers! I'm soooo glad Syaoran got the part of Romeo instead of Yulin," Sakura said with a smile on her face.
'Boy am I ever glad too,' Touya thought.
"I'm going up to my room now," Sakura said, going upstairs.
"Okay, Kajiuu," Touya said.
"Since I'm in a good mood, I'll let that one slide!" Sakura yelled as she went upstairs.
Sakura rushed into her room to find a small Guardian Beast sleeping.
Sakura sighed. 'He'll never change.'
"Kero!! Guess what happened today!"
"*Snore*" Was her response from the Beast.
Sakura sweat dropped. "KERRRROOOO!!!!!"
Kero woke up in a hurry and slammed into a wall like he normally did when his mistress yells at him to wake up from a nice long sleep.
"NANI??" he yelled surprisingly.
"That's what you get for ignoring your mistress, Kero," Sakura said with a smirk.
"You didn't have to yell at me though," Kero said rubbing his head that was forming a bump from the wall.
"But that's the only way to get you to wake up," Sakura said to him.
"No it isn't. All you have to do is put some chocolate pudding in front of my nose and poof! I'll wake right up," Kero said starry eyed.
"Hoe, only you. Guess what?" Sakura said.
"Umm…did you pass a math test??"
"Not in this life time, Kero," Sakura said sadly.
"I give up then."
"I got the part of Juliet and Syaoran got the part of Romeo!! Isn't that great?" Sakura asked the lion looking creature.
"That's great for you, but why are you happy about the kid getting the part of Romeo?" Kero asked all ready knowing the answer.
"Ano, if Yulin would of gotten the part, I would have been harassed a lot by him and since Syaoran got the part…" Sakura suddenly stopped and blushed, "I may get a chance to kiss him. I hope I get to."
"I still don't see what you see in that kid," Kero said floating in the air.
Sakura giggled. "Come on Kero. You know that he helped us with the Clow Cards and the Sakura Cards. He's protected me many times and he may used to be stubborn, but he's changed. Syaoran is also trying to stop calling you 'Stuff Animal' all of the time. He's not totally perfect at it yet, but he's getting better at it. Also, in the words of Tomoyo, he's just soooo KAWAII!!"
Kero sighed. "Whatever you say, Sakura."
Sakura giggled again.
~*~*~*~*~*~*Eriol's House ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
(A.N.: I know that E+T lovers are about to kill me for not putting much mushy moments between the two so here ya go! Mushy E+T! ^_^)
Ring!! Ring!! Ring!!
"Mushi Mushi. I hope this is you, Touya Kinomoto!" Nakuru answered the phone with high hopes. (A.N.: VERY high hopes.)
Tomoyo giggled. "Iie, this is Tomoyo Daidouji, Nakuru. Gomen nasi that I'm not Touya though."
"Tomoyo? You are so cute!" Nakuru squealed.
"Um…Arigato, Nakuru," Tomoyo said. "I-Is…um…E-E-Eriol there?"
"Hai, he is. Did you want to talk to out cute little master?" Nakuru asked the girl.
"Onegai," Tomoyo answered not sure if she should hang up or not.
"Okay I'll get him for you! ERIOL!!!!" Nakuru screamed into the telephone accidentally. "THE TELEPHONE IS FOR YOU!!!!!!"
"Okay, Nakuru. You didn't need to make the person deaf you know unless it's Meilin Li," Eriol said coming downstairs to get the telephone from his human guardian.
Eriol waited till Nakuru was back in the kitchen before he talked into the telephone. "Um…Hello?"
"Mou, does Nakuru have strong vocal cords!" Tomoyo said trying to ignore the ringing in her ear. "And I thought that Kero was bad when I come over with chocolate cake!"
Eriol laughed. "Gomen nasi, Tomoyo."
"It's okay. I'm sure I'll stop hearing rings soon…I hope."
"Let me make it up to you then," Eriol said.
"Eriol, you don't have to. Next time I'll just know to take the phone away from my ear when Nakuru is calling you."
Eriol blushed. "You know, you should call here more often. It gets boring here quickly so I'd like to hear you angelic voice, Tomoyo."
Tomoyo blushed also. "I will. Don't worry, Eriol. I called to ask you to come over and try on one of your costume outfits. You want me to come over there or did you want to come over here?"
Eriol thought for a minute. "Um…I don't really care. Would it be easier if I came over there?"
"Doesn't really matter. I could just come over there," Tomoyo said.
"Okay, I walk over to your house and pick you up. Sound good?" Eriol asked.
"Hai sounds great!" Tomoyo said.
"Kay I'll be there in about five minutes. Hope you haven't ate yet. Nakuru is making her specialty."
"Iie, I haven't yet. I look forward for it, Eriol," Tomoyo said blushing again.
"See ya in a few. Ja."
"Ja ne!" said before hanging up her telephone.
Eriol smiled. 'She's the best dinner company yet!'
~*~*~*~*~*Right Outside of Tomoyo's House…err…Mansion~*~*~*~
Eriol reached Tomoyo's house in less then five minutes.
He walked up to her house and paused before knocking really nervous.
Eriol thought for a moment before ringing the bell. 'I
don't want to make a complete fool out of myself in front of her so I've got to
be careful.'
Eriol reached up and rang the doorbell. He never has been so nervous in his whole entire life.
All of a sudden, a violet haired girl opened the door.
"Hi Eriol!"
Eriol blushed. "Hi Tomoyo. Ready to go?"
Tomoyo blushed too, but he didn't notice that. "Hai," she answered and walked out side the door and quietly shut behind her.
The couple walked slowly back to Eriol's house, both just enjoying each other's company. There wasn't much conversation going on between the two, but either of them didn't care.
The sky was filled with a full moon and thousands of stars. It was a beautiful night.
Tomoyo looked up at the star filled sky. "It's quite beautiful, ne?"
Eriol looked over at her confused. When he saw that she was looking up at the sky, he also looked up.
"Hai. It's very beautiful," he answered. "Not as beautiful as the girl next to me though."
Tomoyo blushed crimson. "You think so?"
Eriol also blushed. "Hai."
Tomoyo giggled and two kept on walking to Eriol's house.
Finally within another couple of minutes, they arrived at the house. Nakuru opened the door and welcomed Tomoyo in.
Nakuru pinched Tomoyo's cheek. "You are so kawaii! Don't you think so Eriol??"
Eriol then stopped dead in his tracks with the color pink appearing on his cheek. "H-Hai."
That also made Tomoyo blush.
Nakuru squealed. "I've got dinner ready so let's eat. I'm starving!"
Tomoyo giggled and followed Nakuru to the kitchen where dinner was set up. Eriol sighed and followed too.
About half an hour later, they finished dinner. While Nakuru was washing the dishes, Tomoyo and Eriol went into the living room to try on his costume for the play.
After about twenty minutes of pinning from Tomoyo, Eriol's costume was done. He was wearing a blue long sleeved jacket that buttoned all the way up. The jacket was blue and was lined in gold. He was also wearing white baggy pants, (A.N.: The pants look like Syaoran's in his Battle Outfit.), and blue shoes (A.N.: Also like Syaoran's green shoes that goes with his outfit except they are blue.)
Tomoyo stood up from her kneeling position where she was pinning Eriol's pants from to get a good look at the boy and his costume. If you asked her, he looked pretty darn handsome in it.
Tomoyo blushed. "Eriol, you look incredibly kawaii!!"
Eriol blushed from her complement. "You think so?"
Tomoyo smiled. "Absolutely."
"Well then, arigato my lady," he said bowing to Tomoyo.
Tomoyo giggled and curtsied. "You're welcome, sir."
When they came up from their curtsy/bow, their eyes met. They just couldn't pull away from each other's eyes.
"MISS TOMOYO, YOUR MOTHER WANTS TO SPEAK TO YOU!!!!!" Nakuru was heard yelling from the kitchen.
Both Tomoyo and Eriol winced from the scream.
"I feel sorry for your mother," Eriol said after recovering from the scream. "She's probably deaf now."
"Probably," Tomoyo said and walked into the kitchen to answer the phone.
"You wanted to speak to me mother?" Tomoyo asked into the phone. "Yes the lady that answered the phone has a VERY nice set of lungs."
Eriol laughed.
About thirty seconds later, Tomoyo hung up the phone and turned to the young boy.
"Um…My mother wants me home pretty soon," she said to the boy, frowning.
Eriol frowned also. "Okay. I'll walk you home then. Just let me change out of the costume."
Tomoyo smiled which made him blush. "Arigato."
~*~*~*~*~*~*Outside of Tomoyo's House~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Eriol turned to the violet haired girl right next to her. "Here's your house, madam."
Tomoyo gigged. "Hai, so it is. Thanks for walking me home, sir."
"You're most welcome."
Tomoyo smiled and then kissed Eriol on the cheek again. Of course, this action caused Eriol to turn bright red. She then turned and walked into the house and shut the door behind her.
Eriol tried to shake his head to get rid of the blush, but no such luck. He then turned around and started to walk home.
~*~*~*~*~*~*During Rehearsal (A Couple of Days Later)~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Okay, now we are going to rehearse the balcony scene. Sakura and Syaoran come out and get into your places, please," Mrs. Smith said to the entire cast who was sitting in the auditorium.
After hearing this, both Cardcaptors got up and walked over to the stage heading for their places, both very nervous. Sakura walked up to the stairs that lead to the balcony and Syaoran walked into his place, which was right in front of the balcony.
"Okay you two, start when you are ready," Mrs. Smith said, signaling to the two to start.
Both Cardcaptors gulped. "O-okay."
Sakura looked down at Syaoran who was standing right underneath her looking up waiting for her to start.
Sakura looked away from Syaoran and looked into the audience. She gulped one more time before she started her lines.
"Romeo, Romeo. Where fore art thou, Romeo?" she said with a romantic tone in her voice.
"I am here, Juliet," Syaoran said with the same romantic tone Sakura had.
Sakura looked down at Syaoran and acted to be surprised. "Oh Romeo, you shouldn't be here. You could be found here talking to me and then killed for doing so."
"I'd do anything for you, love," Syaoran said knowing that his face was starting to heat up again. 'Which is true,' he thought. 'I would do anything for her.'
"Oh Romeo, I don't want our families to fight anymore. There is no reason for them to be. If they get along with each other then we would not have to keep seeing each other in secret."
"You are right, sweet Juliet. Maybe we can call them to a treaty."
"Do you believe we can, love?"
"We can conquer anything together, dear Juliet."
"Okay," Mrs. Smith said interrupting the two, "so far so good. Now Syaoran, use the ladder to climb up to reach Juliet. You guys are doing wonderful!"
"This is soooo kawaii!!" was heard from the crowd, but both Sakura and Syaoran knew who it was. Both of them sweat dropped and blushed.
'The gaki is doing terrible!' Yulin thought. 'I would of grabbed her and kissed her by now. I wanted to rehearse this scene with her too! I wish I could do something to distract them from doing the kiss, but I can't because Mrs. Smith would see me if I did. Maybe next time I'll get a chance.'
Syaoran walked over to the ladder that lead up to the balcony were Sakura stood and started to climb.
"Oh, Romeo," Sakura said with passion in her voice while Syaoran was still climbing up towards her.
"Yes sweet Juliet?" Syaoran said after reaching the balcony. He took Sakura into his arms and they both looked deep into each other's eyes with love and passion, both not really having to act that part out.
"I…l-l-love you," she said stuttering and blushing like crazy.
Syaoran's face was just as red as Sakura's. "Juliet, I l-love you too."
They could hear Tomoyo giggle as she kept on taping. Both of them didn't and couldn't move. They were supposed to kiss each other now, but they couldn't bring themselves to move towards each other. After about a minute of just standing there and looking in each other's eyes, there was a very anxious to see the lovers kiss teacher, a very happy they haven't kissed yet jock, a running out of tape video soon girl, and a VERY annoyed scorer.
"KISS HER ALREADY!!!!!!" Eriol yelled VERY annoyed.
Both Sakura and Syaoran turned crimson.
"Remind me to kick Eriol later," Syaoran muttered.
Sakura giggled. "Kay."
Tomoyo noticed that there was conversation going on between the two up on the balcony.
"What do you think they are talking about up there?" Tomoyo asked Eriol who was sitting right next to her.
Eriol smiled. "Syaoran is probably muttering some death threats about killing me later."
"Yea, you are probably right, Eriol. Mou, you sure know Syaoran well," Tomoyo said.
"Hai, he is my descendant after all," Eriol whispered.
"Guess you're right."
Eriol smiled. "I'm ALWAYS right!"
Tomoyo smirked. "Whatever you say, Eriol."
"Oi! Are you insulting me?" Eriol said sounding hurt.
"Oh, I'd never insult the great Clow Reed," she said while laying her head on his shoulder.
Eriol blushed from her action. "You better not!"
Tomoyo smiled. "Don't worry, I wouldn't dare."
"Okay," Eriol said. He then turned his face to where Tomoyo's head was laying peacefully on his shoulder. He leaned in and kissed the top of her head and then went back to watching his little descendant trying to kiss the Card Mistress not noticing Tomoyo's very dark blush.
Finally, they saw Syaoran moving his face towards Sakura's. Tomoyo took her head off of Eriol's shoulder and started to videotape again squealing.
Finally, their faces were millimeters apart. Their noses were brushing and each other's breath could be felt on each other's faces. Just when they were starting to close the distance between each other's lips…
CRASH!!!!
Syaoran and Sakura's faces drew apart to see what fell. It was just one of the small stage lights that was on the right side of the stage behind the curtain. The light didn't seem to hit the ground very hard, because the light was still working.
"What was that?" Mrs. Smith asked the two.
"Just a stage light, Mrs. Smith," Sakura said pointing to the stag light that was to the right of them with Syaoran's arms still around her.
'That was close,' Yulin thought. 'That doesn't happen everyday though. I guess it's up to me to cause the noise next time. Man! I really wanted to practice that scene with Sakura!! Next time, I'll aim a stage light right for the baka, Syaoran. Yea! That's what I'll do!'
"Okay," Mrs. Smith said feeling relived that no one was hurt. "Why don't you two take a break? I'll get stage crew to come and put the light back up and then we'll continue on with rehearsal. You guys did wonderful! Next time though, come into a kiss sooner."
Both Cardcaptors blushed (again). "Okay."
Sakura and Syaoran got down from the balcony and joined up with Tomoyo and Eriol.
"You guys looked soooo kawaii up there!" Tomoyo said happily.
Sakura sweat dropped. "Arigato, Tomoyo."
Syaoran growled. "Why did you have to say that Eriol?
Eriol gave him his innocent smile. "Well, somebody had to say it sooner or later didn't they?"
Syaoran growled again.
"Before I forget," Tomoyo started, "I have about three costumes for Sakura and Syaoran to try on and one last one for you, Eriol."
'Drats. Only one more?' Eriol thought.
"Okay, Tomoyo. When and where should we meet?" Syaoran asked.
Tomoyo thought for a moment. "Mother is doing meetings at home all week so we can't meet at my house."
"I don't think Onii-chan would be too happy about seeing all of us there at once," Sakura said.
"I don't really think we should go over to my house either because Nakuru would be going over to Sakura and Tomoyo saying they are 'kawaii' every minute," Eriol muttered.
Sakura turned to Syaoran. "That only leaves your apartment, Syaoran. How bout it?"
Syaoran sighed. "Okay. What day and what time?"
"I believe that Friday would be the best day because you guys don't rehearse on Fridays," Tomoyo said. "I'm available this Friday right after school. Anyone reject?"
"Nope."
"Nope."
"Nope."
"Nope," said an unexpected and unwanted voice behind Syaoran.
They all turned around to find Yulin smiling.
"I'm free this Friday so I'll be there," he said looking over at Sakura.
Syaoran growled. "I am NOT letting YOU into MY apartment, Yulin!"
"It's not YOUR'S, it's your whole family's," Yulin said.
"My family is in China at the moment and I live alone thank you very much!" Syaoran said.
"Then I wouldn't want to come over there anyways. It's probably a pig sty!"
Sakura growled. "NO IT ISN'T!! Syaoran keeps his apartment VERY clean!"
Yulin was shocked. "You've been over to the baka's house??"
"Syaoran is NOT a baka and hai I have. I've been over there many times. Syaoran keeps his place spotless," she answered smiling seeing his shocked face.
Yulin smiled. "Why don't you come over and see my house, Sakura? I bet it's just as spotless as his or maybe even more."
Sakura smirked. "Yea, it's probably spotless, only because your maids do the job. Syaoran does his cleaning on his own. He could afford maid service, but he decides to do the dirty work on his own. On his own! Understand? I admire Syaoran for his hard work."
Syaoran blushed. 'Aren't I supposed to be standing up for myself instead of her fighting my own battles? Since when does she admire me?'
Yulin was starting to get angry. "He isn't that rich! Only I am!"
Sakura was getting angrier too. "You wanna bet?"
Syaoran took Sakura by the shoulder and held her back before she hit Yulin again.
"Hai my family is rich," Syaoran started to explain. "I only got an apartment because I was supposed to leave to go back home when I got out of elementary school, but instead I stayed here. I've never regretted it either. Sakura, Tomoyo, and Eriol are my best friends. Nothing in this world would change that either. If you hurt ANY of them, I will have your head by the next morning and I mean that too."
Yulin gave an evil glare at Syaoran. "Why didn't you go back? I bet you are not wanted here anymore or does your family not want you back home in China, Syaoran? I bet life for everyone including your family would be a easier if you just leave and never come back, Li Syaoran."
Sakura couldn't hold it in any longer. She took a couple of angry step toward Yulin and reached around her neck where the Star Key laid. She was about to start saying the incantation when a hand held her back. She looked behind her to see who the hand's owner was. She saw Syaoran there shaking his head for her not to do it.
Sakura put the Star Key back under her shirt and turned back to Yulin with tears starting to form in her eyes.
"You may think that life would be better without Syaoran, but I do NOT and I know that Tomoyo, Eriol, Touya, and EVEN Kero would agree," Sakura said starting to cry. "You just want him to leave so you can get your filthy hands on me, but you haven't been able to because of him. I'm alive because of him. I'm standing here right now because of him! Even though at the beginning, he was cold and not the nicest person to hang around with, but times change and now he's one of the sweetest people I know."—Syaoran blushed—"I would of never picked a better person to be a partner with. Syaoran is kind blooded and would help a person out that was in need of his assistance unlike you, Yulin. You are the most snottiest, selfish, perverted person I know! And I promise you this: You will NEVER get your hands on me? You hear me?"
With that been said, Sakura ran out of the auditorium with tears sliding down her cheeks.
Both Yulin and Syaoran stood there just shocked over what she just said.
'She really cares. I never thought that she would care that much about me,' Syaoran thought to himself.
'Just because she thinks that about me now, doesn't
mean I can't make her see that I'm actually a great person,' Yulin thought.
'That Syaoran is really getting in my way now! He will die for it too!'
Yulin walked away from the other three and out of the auditorium.
Tomoyo turned to Syaoran to see his shocked face.
"Now you see how much she cares about you, Syaoran?" Tomoyo asked him. "She loves you, but you are too blind to see it!"
"I agree with Tomoyo, Syaoran," Eriol said. "You know that Sakura's right about you though. We are glad you stayed her in Japan rather then go back home."
Syaoran smiled. "Hai, I do."
Tomoyo smiled. "Go after her and make sure that she's alright. Tell her that you love her while you're at it."
Syaoran stood there for a moment in deep thought. "Actually Tomoyo, I want to tell her later. I have a plan on how to tell her."
Tomoyo looked at Syaoran confused.
Syaoran smiled at the confused look on her face and ran out of the auditorium in search for Sakura.
Eriol was also confused. "You think he'll actually do it, sweet Tomoyo?"
Tomoyo blushed. "I'm sure he will, dear Eriol."
Now it was Eriol's turn to blush.
~*~*~*~*~*~*Penguin Park~*~*~*~*~*~*
Sakura sat there on a bench crying her little heart out.
'How dare Yulin talk about Syaoran like that!' she thought to herself. 'I just wish that Yulin would leave me alone. It doesn't take that much brains to know that I do not like him.'
Suddenly she heard footsteps coming from behind her, but she didn't turn her head around since she all ready knew whom it was.
"Sakura?"
"What is it, Syaoran?"
"I was wondering if you are okay. May I sit?"
Sakura scooted over to give him some room and Syaoran sat down right next to her and put his arms around her to comfort her in. Sakura laid her head on his shoulder and started to cry again.
"What's the matter?" Syaoran asked with concern.
"I just don't like what Yulin said about you and about you leaving," she answered. "I didn't want you to leave back when we were little and I still don't. I wouldn't know what to do if you did."
"Really?"
"Of course. What did you think I would do? Celebrate your department?"
Syaoran turned to look up at the stars. "Never really thought you'd care that much. I always thought you just cared about me because of the Clow Cards business. Never really thought you thought of me as a real friend though, Sakura. I thought I was always a bother to you."
Sakura giggled. "And I always thought I was just a bother to you!"
Syaoran smiled and looked down at her. "Guess we both thought wrong."
Sakura smiled also. "Guess so."
"Listen Sakura," Syaoran said to her in a quiet tone. "Don't let Yulin bug you so much. Let me deal with him. You'll get your chance at him sometime, but in the mean time, let me handle him. Okay?"
Sakura looked really confused, but agreed. "Kay. Can I use the Fiery Card on him? Maybe I can use the Shot Card or the Arrow Cards is a good choice also! Onegai?"
Syaoran laughed. "I don't think so."
"Aw…you're no fun! Why not let me at him? It will be fun! Every party has a pooper that's why we invited you!" –She points at Syaoran— "Party Pooper! Party Pooper!" Sakura sang out. (A.N.: My friend taught me this a long time ago! ^_^ I owe it all to her!)
Syaoran smiled. "You'll have a chance at him. I promise."
Sakura smiled. "You better!"
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*Syaoran's Apartment~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Just like they planned, Sakura, Syaoran, Eriol, and Tomoyo met after school on Friday and headed over to Syaoran's apartment to try on the costumes Tomoyo made.
"Anyone want anything to drink or eat?" Syaoran asked his three best friends as they entered the apartment.
"No, but thanks for asking."
"No thank you!"
"I'm not hungry right now, but thanks anyways."
Syaoran shrugged and headed into the living room with the other.
Tomoyo sat down on the couch and started to dig through the separate bag that she was carrying.
"Okay, I'll finish Eriol's costume first because I only have a few places to finish on his," Tomoyo said not looking up from the bag. "So come on down Eriol, you're the next contestant on the 'The Fit Is Right'." (A.N.: Price is Right, The Fit is Right. Get it??)
Sakura giggled. "Congrats, Eriol."
Eriol smiled and walked over to where Tomoyo stood with the last costume.
After three hours, they were finally finished with trying on the costumes. Sakura tried on an elegant dress and two 'casual' dresses. Syaoran tried on different shirts and pants for his 'casual' wear and a prince looking outfit that had a slight resemblance to the prince outfit that Sakura wore for the Sleeping Beauty play. Eriol only tried on his 'casual' wear in the play.
Tomoyo yawned. "I better go home. My mother is probably getting worried."
"I'll walk you home, my lady," Eriol said with a bow. "It's to dark for you to walk home alone."
Tomoyo giggled. "Arigato."
"I better head on home too," Sakura said. "Onii-chan is probably going to have my neck if I don't."
"I'll walk you home," Syaoran said.
"But you are all ready home. I can walk. It isn't that far."
"It's quite all right, Cherry Blossom," Syaoran said.
Sakura smiled. "If you want to. I wouldn't mind at all. Including that, I think Onii-chan would be happier if you did."
"I still can't believe that him and I are actually getting along with each other," Syaoran said. "I thought pigs would fly before that would happen."
Sakura giggled. "Same here!"
"Sakura! Syaoran!" Tomoyo called over to them. "Eriol is taking me home. I'll see you guys later!"
Sakura waved. "Okay. Ja, Tomoyo and Eriol!"
"Ja ne you guys!" Syaoran said.
Tomoyo and Eriol walked out the door and shut it once they were both out.
Syaoran turned to Sakura. "Guess we better get you home too," Syaoran said smiling.
Sakura did her famous smile. "Guess so."
~*~*~*~*~*~*Outside of Tomoyo's House~*~*~*~*~*
"It's another beautiful night isn't it Eriol?" Tomoyo asked while she strolled next to the scorer.
Eriol looked up at the star filled night and smiled.
"Hai it is."
"I always thought that these nights were soooo romantic," Tomoyo said looking up at the stars and smiling. "I always wanted my love to take me for a walk in the park under the moon and stars. I've dreamed of that happening since I was a little girl. *Sigh* It has yet to happen and I'm starting to believe that it won't."
Eriol looked over at the girl with a frown and sadness all over his face.
'I never knew that she had a dream like that,' Eriol thought seeing the sad girl.
"You shouldn't give up yet," Eriol said to the girl. "You just haven't found Mr. Right yet. You shouldn't give up on your dreams just yet, Tomoyo. Don't worry. I'm sure everything will be okay soon."
'Oh Eriol. I wish and hope Mr. Right is you,' Tomoyo thought to herself.
Tomoyo looked up to see that they were all ready at her house.
"Um…Arigato for walking me home, Eriol," Tomoyo said walking up to the porch.
"The pleasure is all mine," he said following her up to the porch.
"I'll see you at school then?"
"Or sooner."
Tomoyo smiled. "Hopefully sooner."
There was silence after that. Both of them just peered into each other's eyes both not really wanting to say good-bye. All of a sudden, Eriol walked over to where Tomoyo was standing and started to close the distance between their faces. Finally when their noses were brushing and there lips were millimeters apart…
"Tomoyo dear, would-," Sonomi started to say after she opened the door, but after seeing what was ABOUT to happen… "Oh! Gomen nasi! Continue. Just act like you didn't see me!" she said shutting the door.
Both Tomoyo and Eriol blushed and fell into a laugh at the same time.
"I better get inside," Tomoyo said after her laughter finally stopped. "You better get going also before it gets too late."
"Yea I guess I should," Eriol said.
"Um…Arigato for walking me home, Eriol," Tomoyo said walking over to the door.
"The pleasure was all mine," Eriol said with a smile.
He walked over to Tomoyo and planted a kiss on her forehead and started to walk away heading for his home.
Tomoyo blushed and entered the house to see her mother smiling.
Sonomi's smile grew wider as she saw her daughter walk in.
"He seems like a nice guy," she said to her 16-year-old daughter.
Tomoyo blushed which her mother noticed. "Hai, he is."
"Hope you guys get to become more then friends to each other," Sonomi said before walking out of the room leaving Tomoyo there with a crimson blush.
~*~*~*~*~*~*In Front of Sakura's House~*~*~*~*~*~*
"I cannot believe that next Friday is the opening night for the play," Sakura said as Syaoran opened the gate to her house.
"I know. Do you have all of your lines down?" Syaoran asked.
"Hai. Do you?"
"Yep."
"I think we'll do just fine, Syaoran," Sakura assured him.
"Yea, but I can't shake this one feeling…"Syaoran started.
"What feeling, Syaoran?" Sakura asked with curiosity.
"Just this one feeling like something bad is going to happen opening night," Syaoran said uncomfortable.
"Do you think some spirit will attack us or something?"
"Iie, I don't. I think it's just…someone's going to try to get revenge. I don't know who though," Syaoran said.
"Do you think its Yulin?" she asked.
"Probably, but I cannot be sure."
Sakura frowned. "Guess we'll just have to wait."
"Yea."
"Kajiuu!"
Sakura growled. "Kajiuu ja nani!!" she screamed at her brother while he opened the door.
Syaoran laughed. "Konbanwa, Touya."
"Oh, Konbanwa, Syaoran," Touya said. "I didn't know you were out her with the kajiuu." –Sakura growled—"I thought she was talking to herself again."
Syaoran smiled. "Nope, I'm out here with her."
Touya smiled. "Uh, Sakura. I think your Guardian Beast up there is having a cow because he ran out of food hours ago."
Sakura sighed. "Arigato Onii-chan. I better get up there then or I'll never hear the end of it. Oyasumi, Syaoran!"
"Oyasumi, Sakura," Syaoran said as he watched Sakura head upstairs to her room.
Touya stepped outside with Syaoran and shut the door. "I heard that you got the part of Romeo. Omedetou."
Syaoran smiled. "Arigato."
Touya stepped down of off of the porch and looked up at the sky. Syaoran followed him and stood right next to him.
"So has there been any Yulin attacks lately?" Touya asked.
Syaoran smiled. "Not since Sakura told him off the other day."
"Let me guess," Touya said. " He said something about you and she just blew up in his face?"
"Hai. He said that it would make everybody's life easier including my family if I just left and never came back," Syaoran answered. "How did you know that it had to do with something about me?"
"I knew because I know my sister," Touya started to explain. "If Sakura blows up in somebody's face, it would be because of somebody teasing you, Tomoyo, or Eriol. I guessed you because you're the closest friend that Sakura has besides Tomoyo, but he wouldn't start teasing Tomoyo because he knows that he'll have Eriol all over him."
Syaoran smiled. "You have your sister down to an art."
"There's another reason he bugs you so often," Touya said with a serious face.
Syaoran looked over at Touya. "And that would be?"
"Sakura," Touya said.
Syaoran had a confused look on his face. "What about Sakura?"
Touya smirked. "You're so blind, Syaoran. You and Sakura are so close and Yulin wants to be that way with her."
"Oh," was all Syaoran could say.
Unknown to the two boys, Sakura had her head out the window listening to their conversation.
'So that's why Yulin's so mean to Syaoran,' Sakura thought.
"Syaoran, I know you've heard this from Tomoyo, Eriol, and everybody else but you have to tell her soon," Touya said to the warrior.
This caught Sakura's attention.
'Tell me what?' Sakura thought. 'Come on, Onii-chan! Tell me what?'
"I know," Syaoran said. "I promised Tomoyo that I'd tell her opening night of the play. I have a plan on how I'm going to tell her also."
Touya smiled. "Are you going to tell me your plan?"
"Iie."
'Tell him Syaoran!' Sakura thought. 'So then I'll know what it is too!'
"Okay Syaoran," Touya said. "Just tell Tomoyo that I want a copy of the tape also."
Syaoran laughed. "Okay, I will."
There was a silence after and Sakura was left confused as ever.
'What if he wants to tell me that he's moving back to
Hong Kong?' Sakura thought getting nervous. 'I bet that's what it is!'
Sakura ran
downstairs as fast as her legs would carry her. She swung open the front door
to see that Syaoran was still there, standing right next to her brother.
Syaoran and
Touya looked over to see who opened the door to see Sakura there with tears
building in her eyes.
Syaoran began to
worry once he saw Sakura's tears.
"Sakura! What's
the-?"
Before Syaoran
could finish, Sakura ran over to him and flung her arms around his neck.
"Syaoran,"
Sakura cried, "please don't leave me!"
"What?"
Sakura tightened
her grip and was now crying hard. "Onegai, don't go back to Hong Kong! You
promised me you wouldn't leave me!"
Syaoran took
Sakura into a hug. "I'm n-."
"Are you going
back on your promise, Syaoran?"
"Iie."
"I cannot
believe tha…" she stopped. "You're not?"
"Sakura,"
Syaoran started, "I would never leave you. I promised you that I wouldn't and I
intend on keeping my promise. If I had to leave back for Hong Kong, it would
only be for a couple of days or so and I would have asked you to come with me
first. Onegai stop crying." –Syaoran wiped her tears off
with his thumbs— "Now what made you think I was leaving?"
Sakura blushed.
"Oh! I *sniff* heard you and *sniff* Onii-chan talking. I was *sniff* listening
from my window and I thought that *sniff* you wanted to tell me that you were
moving back *sniff* to Hong Kong."
"Sakura," Touya
said, "you are way off. It has nothing to do with something sad. Right,
Syaoran?"
"Hai."
Sakura tuned to
Syaoran again still had her arms around his neck. "Then *sniff* what did you
*sniff* want to tell me?"
Syaoran blushed
and Touya swear dropped.
"Uh…Guess you'll
have to wait till Opening Night, Sakura," Syaoran said.
Sakura snuggled
into his neck, which caused him to (of course) blush.
"Ah, why won't
you tell me, *sniff* Syao-chan?"
"Syao-chan?"
"Your new
nickname," Sakura answered.
"I like just
Syaoran better."
"Okay. So are
you going to tell me?"
"Iie, you'll
have to wait. I better go though. It's getting late," Syaoran said, trying to
change the subject.
Sakura tightened
her grip around his neck. "Iie. I won't let you go home. You'll have to drag me
home with you!"
Syaoran
shrugged. "That can be arranged," he said and picked her up into his arms.
Sakura squealed.
"Hoeee! Syaoran! Put me down!"
Touya smiled
seeing how happy the couple was.
Syaoran put her
down and she released her hold around his neck.
Syaoran kissed
her forehead. "Sweet dreams, sweet Cherry Blossom."
Sakura smiled.
"Sweet dreams to you to, Little Wolf."
Syaoran smiled
and then walked off, heading for his apartment.
Sakura sighed
and then walked into the house following her brother.
~*~*~*~*~*Opening
Night~*~*~*~*~*~*
Touya, Fujitaka,
Yukito, and Kero stepped (or in Kero's case, stayed still in Touya's pocket)
into the auditorium of the high school, which was starting to get crowded.
They've heard so much about what was going on in the play from Sakura that all
four of them were excited to see the performance. Since Kero couldn't just fly
right into the auditorium without causing any mayhem, Sakura asked if Touya
would take Kero with him since he wanted to see the play also, which you really
couldn't blame the Guardian Beast so he agreed.
Sitting down in
the middle of the front row, Touya took out the program that a young girl was
giving out at the entrance of the auditorium and started to read about the play
and its performers.
He saw the three
characters who he was looking for:
(A.N.: I'm only going what the programs for
the plays are like at my school. They say the character and who plays it and
then the actor/actress says a couple of words.)
Juliet is to be
played by Sakura Kinomoto ~
I just want to say thanks to my family
(including you Yukito!). Thank you for always being there for me when life was
tough. You guys are the best. I also want to thank Syaoran, Tomoyo, and Eriol
for helping me throughout school (especially with Math, Syaoran! ^_^). Love you all!
Romeo is to be
played by Syaoran Li ~
I want to thank Sakura (with helping me with my lines), Tomoyo (for
telling me to go for the part), and Eriol (for persuading me to go for the
part). Thank you for always being there for me even though I wasn't the greatest
guy in the beginning to be a friend with, but you guys still befriended me
(especially you, Sakura). Arigato! You guys are the best!
Mercutio is to
be played by Eriol Hiiragizawa ~
I want to thank Nakuru, Suppi, Tomoyo, Syaoran, and Sakura for always
being there. You guys are the best. Nakuru and Suppi, you guys have been there
for me ever since you were…um…born and you guys know how much you mean to me.
Tomoyo, Sakura, and Syaoran, you all have been my best friends since we got out
of elementary school and I have favored our friendship ever since. Arigato for
always being there for me you guys!
Touya smiled
after he finished reading the program. 'My sister has had some pretty bizarre friends in her lifetime, but at
least they are friends unlike some people who just act like them.'
"Ladies and
Gentlemen," a voice was heard was heard through the speakers, "the play will
start in ten minutes."
Sakura heard the
announcement from back stage. "Tomoyo, do you think we're ready?" she asked the
violet haired girl next to her who was putting the final touches on Sakura's
dress.
"Hai, I do. I
just hope that there isn't another accident when you guys do the balcony
scene," Tomoyo said, referring to all of the accidents when Sakura and Syaoran
get to the balcony scene. When Sakura and Syaoran get to the kiss part in the
scene, something would fall and it would produce a loud noise to distract them
from continuing the scene.
"Yea I know, but
Mrs. Smith said that if something like that happens tonight, Syaoran and I
should just ignore it and go on with…the…kiss," Sakura said turning a bit red.
Tomoyo giggled.
"This is going to be so kawaii!"
"Everybody! Get
into your places," Mrs. Smith shouted at them. "We are about to start."
"Good luck,
Sakura," Tomoyo said as Sakura walked into her spot.
"Nervous?"
someone asked behind her.
Sakura turned
around to find that it was Syaoran in his prince looking outfit.
Sakura blushed
and smiled. "Just a little bit. You look kawaii, Syaoran."
Syaoran blushed.
"A-A-Arigato, Sakura."
"Ladies and
Gentlemen and children of all ages," the voice said coming out of the speaker
again, "I am proud to present Seijou High School's Spring Play, 'William
Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet'."
There was
applause and some whistling heard from the audience.
Once they
started, everything was going smoothly throughout the play. Nothing has
fallen…yet. Unknown to the cast, there was going to be a sudden turn in their
lines.
"Romeo, Romeo.
Where fore art thou, Romeo?" Sakura said with passion in her voice.
"I am here,
Juliet," Syaoran said walking out of the bushes were he was hiding.
"Oh Romeo, you shouldn't be here. You could be found here talking to me and then killed for doing so."
"I'd do anything for you, love," Syaoran said sweetly.
"Oh Romeo, I don't want our families to fight anymore. There is no reason for them to be. If they get along with each other then we would not have to keep seeing each other in secret."
"You are right, sweet Juliet. Maybe we can call them to a treaty."
"Do you believe we can, love?"
"We can conquer anything together, dear Juliet."
Syaoran then walked over to the tree that would lead him to the balcony.
"Oh, Romeo," Sakura said as Syaoran jumped from the tree to the balcony.
"Yes, sweet Juliet?" Syaoran asked as he took Sakura into his arms.
"I love you, dear Romeo," Sakura said without even stuttering which surprised herself that she didn't do so.
"I love you to," Syaoran answered to her not stuttering either.
Sakura started to close her eyes and Syaoran leaned in to kiss her. Millimeters apart and noses brushing again…
CRASH!!
This time though, Sakura and Syaoran didn't pull apart. Finally there lips came together. Sakura put her arms around his neck without even realizing she did so. Syaoran deepened the kiss and put his arms around her waist.
'Well it's about time,' Touya, Eriol, and Tomoyo all thought.
'I do not believe it!' Yulin though. 'After
that stupid distraction, they didn't pull away. I'm going to do Plan B now
which includes death to the wolf it my plans go right.'
Sakura and Syaoran finally pulled apart due to the lack of oxygen. The both were blushing and both had that dreamy look in there eyes.
After about another five seconds, Syaoran heard something making a noise that was right above him and Sakura. He looked above them to see that it was one of the big fake tree branches that they were using for the play and it was heading right for them!
Syaoran, thinking on his toes, grabbed Sakura's waist and jumped over the balcony and landed on the floor of the stage.
"Romeo, Romeo. You are so dead when I get done with you, Romeo," said a voice that was off to the side of the stage.
Syaoran groaned. 'I knew that something bad was going to happen. Listen Sakura; just act like this is going to be part of the play. Okay?' he thought at to Sakura.
'Okay Syaoran,' she thought back.
"Tyblat!" Syaoran yelled out.
"Great guess and hai, you are right," Yulin said taking a couple of steps onto the stage. In his one hand was a sword. Not one of the fake ones that they used, but a real one.
'Great. The one time that I take off my charm, I need it,' Syaoran thought.
'I wish I had my
cards and the sealing wand,'
Sakura thought.
"Romeo!"
"Juliet!"
Sakura and Syaoran turned around to see Tomoyo off stage and Eriol taking a couple of steps on the stage. Tomoyo was signaling Sakura to look into the side of her dress and Eriol had Syaoran's charm. Sakura patted the side of her dress and found a bump there. She found a zipper right over the bump and once she unzipped the pocket, she saw that inside were her Sakura Cards and her Star Key. Eriol threw Syaoran's charm over to him and both Syaoran and Sakura gave grateful looks at their best friends.
After seeing Sakura take out her cards out of her dress and Eriol throwing Syaoran's sword charm to Syaoran, Touya knew that this wasn't supposed to be part of the play. 'This is not good,' Touya thought. 'I hope she doesn't get hurt. What am I thinking? Syaoran won't let Yulin hurt Sakura and I think she can take care of herself also.'
'Syaoran, if I use the cards, do you think that people would get curious?' Sakura thought.
'Iie, they'll probably think it's special effects and if anyone of the cast asks, say it's just magic. They'll think that we just won't tell them the answer,' Syaoran answered.
'Great!'
Syaoran transferred his sword charm into the sword that we all know so well and Sakura held out the Star Key and said the incantation that turned the key into the sealing wand.
"You better give up while you're ahead, Tyblat," Sakura said to the senior.
"Juliet and I are going to crush you into that slimy git you are," Syaoran said getting into battle position. "And if your best friend was here, we'd crush him also."
Yulin looked a little shocked about what was going on. "Ha! You don't even know how to swing a sword right."
Sakura started to laugh hard. "Yea right."
Syaoran smirked. "She's right. I bet I can beat you anyway, any day.
"Well then," Yulin said, "shall we begin? How about you two against me? Sound fair?"
Syaoran smirked. "The Card Mistress and the future Li Clan Leader against him," he whispered to Sakura, "this battle won't last a minute."
Sakura smiled. "Yea your right."
"Sounds good," Syaoran said. "Let's begin."
Yulin ran toward the two. Syaoran jumped out of the way and Sakura called forth the Fly Card. She hovered above the two while Syaoran started to charge towards Yulin. Yulin was able to dodge the sword and got a little swipe on Syaoran's left arm.
"ROMEO!" Sakura screamed.
"You shouldn't just think that I'm lousy with a sword, Romeo," Yulin said smiling. "My father taught me well."
"Then lets take this at a different approach shall we?" Syaoran said cursing at himself for thinking to take an enemy down so easy. "Wind, come to my aid!!" (A.N.: Gomen, but I do not know the incantations that Syaoran says in CCS and I also don't know how Sakura releases her Sakura Cards on CCS either.)
Wind started to circle around Yulin and picked him up a couple of feet and dropped him down on the floor.
Sakura flew down next to Syaoran and called back the Fly Card.
'What should we do? We can't just kill him like we do the spirits that we fight,' Sakura thought.
'Let's just try to scare him,' Syaoran answered.
'Let me do the next part then, Syaoran.'
'He's all yours.'
"Illusion Card! Show Tybalt what he fears the most! Illusion!" Sakura yelled.
The Illusion Card listened to its Mistress and then took a form right in front of Yulin. Yulin's face then turned pale as if he was seeing a ghost.
"Illusion Card Return!" Sakura shouted. The Illusion Card did what it was told and then Sakura turned to Syaoran. "Shall we blow him away together?"
Syaoran smiled. "Hai. Wind! Come to my aid!"
"Windy Card! Blow Tyblat away! Release and Dispel!"
Both wind attacks combined and then went over to Yulin who was still pale. It picked him up and blew him off of the stage.
"All right! We did it!" Sakura said. She turned the sealing wand back into its key form then turned to where Syaoran was standing next to her and threw her arms around him excited.
After getting over the shock, the crowd stood up on its feet and gave our two Cardcaptors a standing ovation.
Sakura then remembered that Yulin did hit the male Cardcaptor in the arm with his sword. She released her grip around his neck and looked into his amber eyes.
"Are you okay?" she asked.
"Oh. It's only just a scratch. I'll be fine," Syaoran answered remembering the cut.
'Well, I didn't get to use the Shot, Fiery, or the Arrow Card, but at least I got to use some of the cards,' Sakura thought
Syaoran laughed. 'I promised you didn't I?'
The rest of the play went through smoothly. They were just leaving out a scene here and there only because 'Tyblat' was all ready 'dead'.
After the play was over, the entire cast walked onto the stage and did there bows while the audience gave them a standing ovation.
Sakura ran over to where Tomoyo and Eriol were standing with Syaoran close behind. She threw her arms around Tomoyo in a hug.
"Arigato Tomoyo! Arigato Eriol!" she said still hugging Tomoyo. "How'd you know that Yulin was going to attack us, Tomoyo?"
Tomoyo smiled. "Eriol had a bad feeling and said that it was best if I came up with some way that I could put your Star Key and Sakura Cards in your dress so I came up with a pocket in that dress and I put them in there while you were out on stage."
Syaoran smiled. "How did you know that I wasn't wearing my sword charm, Eriol?"
"Oh, I saw you take it off and put it on your dresser of your little dressing room and I knew that you were going to need it so I took it," Eriol answered. "I must say you guys really handled that situation well. Making it seem like it was part of the play was a great idea."
"Sakura!"
Sakura turned around to see Touya running towards them.
"Onii-chan!"
Once he got over to her, he hugged her tight. "You did great! I was so worried when Yulin did that, but I told myself to calm down because I knew that Syaoran was with you and he wouldn't let anything happen to you."
Syaoran smiled. "It's nice to know that you have so much confidence in me, Touya."
"You did a good job too, Syaoran," Touya said and walked over to him and hugged him. "You know that I trust you with her or otherwise I would have killed you for kissing my sister," he whispered into Syaoran's ear.
Syaoran blushed. He got so caught up in the fight that he forgot about the kiss!
"Sakura! Syaoran!"
Sakura and Syaoran turned around to see Mrs. Smith coming towards them.
"How did you guys do all of that fighting stuff?" Mrs. Smith asked excitedly. "You guys did such an awesome job about taking care of 'Tybalt' that the audience thought that it was part of the play! I'm soooo happy you guys did that! It makes my life a heck of a lot easier!"
Sakura smiled and glanced over at Syaoran who was smiling also.
"It's magic!" they both said in unison.
"You won't tell your Director?" Mrs. Smith asked. "Oh well, that's okay. Guess it's your guy's secret then." She then walked away from the group to congratulate the rest of the crew.
"Mmph!" was heard from Touya's pocket.
"Oh! Sorry Kero," Touya said as he grabbed the Guardian Beast out of his pocket.
Kero wasn't too happy. "Why does everybody forget me like I'm some stuff animal?" –He then pointed a paw at Syaoran. — "Do not say a single word, kid!"
"I was not going to say anything. I was thinking it, but I wasn't going to say anything," Syaoran shouted at the beast.
"See, Kero?" Sakura said. "He's trying to be nice to you."
"Come on Sakura," Touya said. "I believe Otou-san and Yukito would like to see Juliet."
"Oh okay!" Sakura said walking over to the door that would lead her out of the backstage area and into the audience, followed by Touya.
Syaoran sighed.
"I seem to remember," Eriol started, "that you'd tell her tonight."
"I know," Syaoran said. "It doesn't take place right after the play you know. I said that it takes place TONIGHT not right AFTER the play."
"Okay," Tomoyo said, "just making sure that you are still going to go through with your promise."
Tomoyo, Eriol, and Syaoran walked out of the backstage area and into the audience. For the rest of the night, there was a party for the cast. Sakura and Syaoran were known for their little magic show with Yulin. It was amazing how many people asked how they did it and the answer was always the same: "It's magic!" Of course, it was the truth, but they didn't know that. All of them thought that they just wouldn't answer their question.
After about another two hours, it about quarter till eleven o'clock and still Syaoran hasn't taken action. Tomoyo, Eriol, and Touya were starting to get suspicious. Fujitaka led his daughter and son out of the school at eleven o'clock to head on home.
'Guess he chickened out or something because he's too late to put his plan into action now,' Touya thought to himself as his father lead him and Sakura out of the school.
'Didn't Syaoran say that he had something to tell me tonight?' Sakura thought. 'Guess he didn't get a chance too. If he wasn't going back home, I wonder what it was. Maybe he wanted to tell me that he loved me. HA! Like that would ever happen. I cannot believe that I actually got to kiss him though! It was like a dream come true!'
Just about five minutes after the Kinomoto's left, the party was starting to calm down and everybody was heading on home. Eriol and Tomoyo on the other hand were furious at certain amber-eyed scorer.
"I cannot believe that you didn't tell her, Syaoran!" Tomoyo said VERY angry. Eriol, Syaoran and her were sitting down in chairs that were set up in the party room. "You promised me and you didn't keep it! I cannot believe that I actually believed that you'd keep it!"
Syaoran smiled. "There is still time left. I'm keeping my promise don't worry."
Eriol smirked. "Yea right. You've only got fifty-five minutes left, but of course you know that don't you?"
"Hai."
Eriol sighed. "You really puzzle me sometimes, little descendant."
Syaoran growled. "I told you to stop calling me that!"
Tomoyo stood up. "I'm going to go. Mother is no doubt going to send out the bodyguards on me soon."
Eriol stood up and offered her his arm. "I'll walk you home, Tomoyo."
"Arigato, Eriol," Tomoyo said and took his offered arm.
"I'm going to go also," Syaoran said getting up from his chair.
"Ja ne, Syaoran."
"Ja ne, little descendant."
Syaoran growled and was about to say something, but stopped and started to walk out of the school.
Eriol smiled and then lead Tomoyo out of the school. She felt so happy because she was with someone she loved with all of her heart. She didn't notice that it was a starry night with a full moon.
Suddenly, they took a wrong turn and Tomoyo noticed it.
"Uh…Eriol, we were supposed to go left. Why are we going right?"
"You'll see," he answered.
"Um…okay."
They took another right and then entered Penguin Park. Eriol took Tomoyo's hand in his and walked her over to a bench and sat down.
"Why are we here, Eriol?" Tomoyo asked. "Not that I'm complaining or anything, but I was just wondering."
"Well, I thought since it was a starry moonlit night, I thought I'd take you out for a walk out in the park," he answered blushing.
Tomoyo smiled and blushed. "Eriol, you're the best!"
"I've also got to tell you something," he answered nervously.
Tomoyo looked at him confused. "Nani?"
Eriol shifted uncomfortably. "Um…"
Tomoyo snuggled into him. "You should know that you can tell me anything, Eriol. So what's up?"
"Um…Tomoyo, I know that I'm not the first person that you wanted to hear this from, but I have to get it off my chest," Eriol started and was blushing like crazy. "You're my best friend and you've been there for me ever since I came to Tomoeda and I'm very thankful for that. Do you know how I see you?"
Tomoyo was caught off guard. She wasn't expecting that question. "Iie, I don't."
"I see you as an angel, Tomoyo. A beautiful violet haired angel," Eriol answered. "You're the one that I love." –He turned to her and took her hands into his. – "Aishiteru, Tomoyo. Always and forever I will love you. When you told me that you dreamed of your love walking with you on a moonlight stroll in the park, I was hoping that you'd let me be the one."
Tomoyo had tears in her eyes and couldn't find the use of her vocal cords at that very moment.
"But if you don't want me to, then I'll leave," Eriol said, avoiding her eyes. He started to get up, but someone pulled on his shirt making him sit back down. He looked over at Tomoyo who just suddenly threw herself into him and had her arms around his neck and crying hard into his shoulder. Eriol pulled her into a hug and tried to calm her down.
"Of *sob* course I'll *sob* let you!" Tomoyo cried into his shirt. She lifted her head to meet his. "Aishiteru, Eriol! Aishiteru!"
"Honto ni?"
"Hai!"
Eriol held her chin and pulled her into a sweet and passionate kiss. Tears of joy came out of Tomoyo's eyes. After about a minute, they had to pull apart due to the lack of oxygen.
"Shall we continue with our walk, honey?" Eriol asked sweetly.
Tomoyo giggled and nodded her head. "We shall, darling."
Eriol put his arm around her waist and then they walked deeper into the park.
"Do you think Syaoran will keep his promise, Eriol?"
"I do not know, Tomoyo. I do not know."
~*~*~*~*~*Kinomoto's House~*~*~*~*
Sakura opened her window and looked out into the starry moonlit night. It was coming about midnight and she just couldn't sleep.
"Yum! Are all these *snore* deserts for *snore* me, *snore* Sakura? *Snore* Arigato!" was heard from the sleeping form of Kero.
Sakura giggled and stepped back from the window and walked over the Beast and pulled his little cover back over him. He looked happy sleeping there because of the big grin and drool coming from his mouth. She giggled one more time and went back over to the window and looked out again.
She sighed. "Syaoran, Syaoran. Where fore art though, Syaoran?" she asked no one unparticular.
"I am here, sweet Sakura."
Sakura gasped and looked down towards the lawn looking for the owner of the voice. Surprising, she saw Syaoran down on the lawn with a bundle of Cherry Blossoms in his hand.
"Syaoran! What are you doing here? If Touya hears that you here at this time of night, he'll kill you!" she whispered down to him.
Syaoran smiled. "I'd do anything for you, Sakura."
Sakura blushed.
"What's *yawn* going on here, kajiuu? I'm trying to sleep," Touya said sticking his head out the window. "Oh hi Syaoran! Is this part of your plan?"
"Hai."
"Oh okay. I'm going back to sleep now, okay?"
"Okay."
"Good N-*snore*"
Syaoran laughed. "I didn't think it was that late."
"You still haven't answered my question of why you are here."
"I have come to tell you something, Cherry Blossom."
"And that would be what, Little Wolf?"
"You hold my heart," Syaoran answered nervously.
Sakura couldn't believe was she was hearing. "Nani?"
"Sakura, you hold my heart. You have held it since the end of fifth grade."
"Oh, Syaoran."
"Aishiteru, Cherry Blossom," Syaoran confessed. "You're one of the reasons why I stayed here in Tomoeda."
"Honto ni?" Sakura asked hoping this wasn't a dream.
"Hai. Sakura, you're an angel to me and always will be," Syaoran said, surprised that she hasn't said I don't love you yet. "At first, I thought that I was just having a silly crush, but I was wrong, it wasn't. I fell in love with and I fell hard. I understand if you don't feel the same way that I feel for you."
"Syaoran, you do NOT know how long I've wanted you to say that to me. I've waited around six long years," Sakura said with tears starting to come to her eyes.
Suddenly they heard clapping, the looked over to see Touya awake again and looking out his window at them.
"That was beautiful, Syaoran," Touya cried. "Great plan. Tomoyo is going to be mad that she didn't get it on tape."
"WHO said that I DIDN'T get a kawaii moment between our favorite Cardcaptors on tape?"
The looked for the owner of the voice and standing at the gate was Tomoyo who was holding up a camera and Eriol who had an arm around Tomoyo.
Sakura saw the arm and almost fell out of her window. "Eriol! Are you guys a couple now?"
"Hai."
Syaoran put his hands on his waist. "Well, it's about time!"
Eriol smirked. "Yea, but I haven't liked her since fifth grade. I didn't even know Tomoyo in fifth grade…I fell in love with her in sixth grade."
"I thought you fell in love with Sakura in sixth grade," Syaoran said.
"Iie, I knew that you loved her and I just wanted to make my little descendant jealous. That's all," Eriol said.
Syaoran growled. "That's all?"
Sakura giggled. "Aw honey, how sweet of you to be jealous, but you should know that I love you and not Eriol."
Syaoran blushed.
"KISS HER ALREADY!!" Eriol, Tomoyo, and Touya all yelled at him.
Syaoran climbed up a tree and jumped over to Sakura's window. He took her into his arms and she giggled.
"Aishiteru, my Cherry Blossom."
Sakura giggled. "Aishiteru, my Little Wolf."
Syaoran leaned in and Sakura's eyes closed. Finally there lips met causing sweet passion between the two. Sakura slid her arm around his neck and started to play with his hair as he put his hands on her waist.
Tomoyo smiled. "This is totally KAWAII!"
Eriol smiled and tightened his grip around her waist. "For once, I agree."
Tomoyo giggled with joy. "I'll call this tape 'Where fore art thou, Syaoran?'."
