Chapter 2: Out To Dinner
Sakura checked out her outfit nervously in the full-length mirror. A light pink skirt with a white tank top with feathers on the front. A button-up three-quarter sleeved shirt was over her tank top and white sandals were adorning her feet. It actually looked pretty cute, or so Madison said when she had gone with her shopping. However...
The doorbell rang which sent Sakura flying down the stairs. Kero had already said goodbye and was basically sitting in front of the tv playing his video game. She grabbed her purse and flung open the door. There was Syaoran. He was basically wearing black pants, a black button up shirt and a leather jacket, which made him look especially handsome in Sakura's eyes.
'She's beautiful,' he thought as she locked the door to her house. "You...uh...look very nice, Sakura." She blushed and mumbled a thanks. He led the way to his car, where he opened the passenger door for her.
While they were driving down the street, Sakura looked over at Syaoran and smiled at the thought of this being their first actual date together.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Dinner went well and it was quite dark when the couple left the restaurant. They walked over to Syaoran's car. However, there was a surprise waiting for them.
"What do you think happened?" Asked Sakura while she was holding Syaoran's jacket as he checked what might be wrong under the hood.
He groaned. "I'm not a mechanic, but I have a feeling that I few parts that we need to actually start the car has been stolen." He sighed and closed the hood and checked his watch. "Well, we're really not too far from your house. Do you mind if we walked?"
Sakura smiled as she handed back his jacket. "Sure, it's a beautiful night out anyways. And the stars are out." She smiled and handed him some tissue so that he could clean the little bit of muck on his hands. He smiled back and took the tissue gratefully.
"Great. Let's go, I don't want you to come in later than your brother. That would be just like a death wish."
Sakura laughed as they walked down the sidewalk, all the while being watched by a certain individual in black.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The couple were walking across the street when Syaoran noticed the flash of car lights. A black car was screaming down the street towards them.
"Sakura, watch out!" He cried as he pulled her towards him and ducked out of the way, all the while just inches from the car.
"Stupid idiot, he should watch where he's going," muttered Syaoran. He noticed, however, that the car turned around and was heading straight for them, even though they were on the sidewalk.
Syaoran, now very alert of the angel trembling in his arms, whispered to her, "We have to run, can you make it?"
She nodded and they both took off as the car zoomed over the place where they had been. At the speed it was going, such a sharp turn was almost impossible, so it went down the sidewalk a little further until it was able to once again follow the two.
"Syaoran, we won't be able to make it! It's a car, it can go faster than us!" Sakura yelled as the gleam of headlights started to light their way. She was mentally kicking herself for not bringing her cards. Of course, how could she have known? This was supposed to be a quiet night with Syaoran.
They heard the wails of a police car coming closer and, evidently, the driver of the car did too. He turned around and raced down another back street.
Sakura noticed that they had run to her street. It was probably a neighbour or somebody who heard the noise and called the police.
She felt Syaoran's arm around her waist as his voice came softly, but urgently, in her ear. "Are you alright?" He asked her. Sakura smiled wearily and leaned against him.
"Yeah, I'm fine. Just a little worried that I'm out of shape." She said, trying to make a joke. Syaoran chuckled and was about to say more when a police man came out of the car with another police woman getting out of the passenger side.
"Are you two alright?" One of the police officers said. Syaoran nodded.
"Yeah, we're fine, just a bit winded." Called Syaoran.
After answering a few questions, the police officers were able to let them go.
"It was probably just a prank." One of the police officers said, writing everything down on a clipboard.
"He was pretty persistent if you ask me." Muttered Syaoran.
"Yeah, well, probably a drunk driver or someone out for kicks, or someone trying to scare you. It's the simplest explanation. Too bad we couldn't get a better description of the car, though." The other police officer said and then chuckled a bit. "Of course, there was the slightest fact that you two were a bit busy running from it. Where do you two live. We want to make sure you get to your houses safely enough."
"I live just down the street, actually." Sakura piped up. "But Syaoran lives a bit further."
The police officer nodded. "We'll give you two a ride, then."
Sitting in the back of the police car, Sakura joked about the night.
"The dinner was alright, Syaoran, but I don't know about the car chase. Boy, I hope Tori isn't home, he would sure have a fit if he saw me being escorted in a police car."
Syaoran half-smiled. "I'm sorry about after the dinner, Sakura. I never wanted the night to end up like that."
They arrived at Sakura's house. She smiled and kissed Syaoran on the cheek. "I'll phone you tomorrow. See you Syaoran!" With that, she thanked the officers and walked to her house.
Until they were sure that she had entered safely, the police car started to drive on to Syaoran's house.
"So, have you two been seeing each other for a while?" The police woman asked politely, mildly amused. Syaoran blushed and sputtered an answer. He was relieved when he noticed they were at his apartment.
"Thank you for the ride." He said politely and walked quickly to his apartment.
He unlocked the door and immediately went to his room to get some sleep. It had been a confusing evening.
The next morning, he stumbled out of bed. He had always been an early riser, so he couldn't understand why he slept in that particular morning. Crossing the living room to get to the kitchen, an envelope which seemed to have been slipped underneath his door caught his eye. Picking it up, he tore the envelope open and read the letter:
Enjoy the run last night? Hope your girlfriend liked it. We'll be seeing you around. Just make sure you don't let down your guard. At the first chance, we're going to make sure you're out of the picture for good.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Syaoran! Why didn't you call the police after you got the note?" Cried Meilin, who had come over as soon as Syaoran had called her. Syaoran sighed.
"It's one letter, Meilin. The police already said it could be a prank."
"How would they know where you live?" Demanded Meilin, putting her hands on her hips.
"I don't know. Just...I don't think we should alert the police just yet. I think I'll be able to handle this. Just don't tell Sakura or Madison." At Meilin's hesitation he added, "Listen, Meilin, I can take care of it and you're probably the only one I trust who can keep this kind of secret. I can't have Sakura worrying about it. Not now. Just do me this favor."
Meilin sighed. She was thoroughly worried for her cousin and didn't know what to do. "I still can't see how you can explain the fact that they knew where you lived."
"They could have followed me home." He suggested.
"While you were in a police car?" Asked Meilin, not believing him.
He shrugged and sighed with frustration. "It's just a theory, alright. Please, Meilin. Don't worry about it. I don't want you or Sakura worrying about it. It's probably just a harmless prank."
Meilin sighed in defeat. "Fine, Syaoran, I won't tell. Just be careful. Please."
