To Hold You In My Arms
Part II: The awakening of an unknown love
Last Time: Li went back to his old school, and suddenly remembered the fight he got into during his 5th Grade years.
(Flashback)
"SAKURA!" Li cried, tears forming at the back of his eyes. He raced to her limp, burned body. Li sighed with relief at the sign of a pulse (mind you, a VERY weak one). Suddenly, his eyes blazed up and he turned to face the sorcerer. He spoke from his heart, in stead of his mind. "You have nearly killed the one thing I value more than life itself. You WILL NOT LIVE PAST THIS DAY, FOR THIS IS A CRIME FOR WHICH THERE IS NO END OF PUNISHMENT!!!" He shouted, those tears he had held back all his years had finally been unleashed, and a tornado of blue surrounded his body. He let the tears flow, and those tears sparkled in the tornado, bringing the immense power of Li's love for Sakura together, and combining them into the one element that gave immense strength to Li's very being. Rage. Li charged forth, and swung his sword with such accuracy, such speed, that it would cut the head of a pin off, and it would seem as though he had only flinched. The sword carved deeply into the sorcerer's left arm, but it grabbed the sword and pulled it from Li's grasp. Li merely spit out a little blood and (insert Street Fighter 2: The Animated Movie Theme Music Here) stepped back. "GO TO HELL, YOU SORCERER!!! OMEGA BEAM, …FIRE!!!!!!" Li cried, and a wave of fury was unleashed from his hands. The beam, which glowed aurora, found its mark in the sorcerers chest, and a fiery tornado rose from the depths of hell and inside the fiery column, Li could hear the sorcerers cries of pain and anguish. As the inferno collapsed, Li used what remaining dredges of strength, and collapsed by Sakura's side.
(Flashback)
Li awoke to the beep of a heart monitor. He nearly jumped out of the hospital bed, when he heard a relaxed breathing on his right side. He turned and saw his beautiful angel, Sakura, lying in the bed next to his, a smile on her face, and deep, even breaths. Li immediately relaxed, and he swore he could hear her say, "Li, I love you." And that was where it all went blank for him…
(End Of Flashback)
"Li!" Li turned to see Madison running at him with a flyer. "Li, Eriol and I really want to do this. But… I wanna prove that a girl's band is better than a boy's. So, we need you and Zachary, and a friend of Eriol's as well as Eriol, to make a boy's band. Please Li. If you don't, Sakura will really be disappointed." At that, Li vigorously nodded his head. "Good," Madison said, smiling brightly. "The competition is this Saturday, so you've got until then to choose a song and whatnot. See ya Li!" Li sweatdropped at the sight of the overly excited girl that left a small trail of flames in her wake.
A Day Later…
"Eriol, lets do this song." Ryan, Eriol's friend, said. Eriol shook his head. "Look, we're tryin to get Sakura and Li together. I bet Li chose a song that would reflect his feelings for her. So, let him choose." Just then, Li bounded into the room, panting, and holding up a sheet of music. As Eriol read the lyrics, his grin got wider, and wider.
Concert Night
"All right, thank you kids, wonderful performance. And now, one of the two most popular bands, 'Boy's Nation'!" Cheers exploded from the girls, and their boyfriends' sweatdropped madly. Li stepped forward, holding the position of lead guitar. Eriol walked out onto the stage, and assumed the position of second guitar. Zachary came out, and took his place at the drums. And lastly, Ryan walked out and took the base guitar into his hands. Li walked to the mike, and waited for silence, before his announcement.
Ooh, another cliffhanger. Stay tuned, I'll dish out the third part shortly. It'll be good.
