But Again, it hasn't been that Day ....
Chapter 7 : Salomé's Love.

****Sakura's bedroom, 7 P.M.****
Tomoyo was crying. She couldn't believe that her best friend was chosen to do this "ritual" . Even though Tomoyo hadn't understand everything, she was sure of one thing : only three sorcerers, in 600 years had survived to it. Eriol put an arm around her shoulder, trying to comfort her.
Kero was completely shocked. No ... again... My master must face this ritual again.... And why, Oh Gods, why Sakura-chan? Why can't she have a quiet life?
Syaoran and Sakura were still kissing. They wanted to reassure each other, to be sure that nothing would never separate them. Syaoran wanted Sakura to know that he would never left her. That he'll always be here, to help her, to love her.
Things were like this when Tooya entered in her sister's bedroom. "Kaiju, Dad told that if your friends would like to stay for eating, they could and that..." Tooya abruptly stopped when he saw that her sister was standing in the Gaki's lap , kissing him. Tooya began to yell " What are you doing to my sister, you Ga-..." when a finger was put on her lips. He looked down at the finger's owner. Salomé was standing in front of him, and there were tears in her eyes In a silent plea, she asked him not to yell . It's only at this moment that Tooya noticed that something was strange. The foreigner was crying, as Sakura best friend was. Near Tomoyo a young man with black-violet hair and glasses was very pale, and his eyes were red, as if he had cried just a second before. When looked down at his sister , his whole body froze with shock. Her face was furrowed with tears, dropping out of her closed eyelids. And... The Gaki was crying too. Silent tears, like everyone in the room, but true tears, painful and bitter.
Tooya's eyes widened . He whispered " What the hell is happening here..."
Sakura softly pulled away from Syaoran. She slowly opened her emerald eyes only to meet her beloved eyes, made from cinnamon and amber . He looked into her eyes and whispered his words, only for her " I love you..." ."And I love you too" she responded in the same way. She stand up and looked at her brother.
"I think that I must explain the situation to my family. We'll all go downstairs, do you agree?"
**********Kinomoto's living room, 8 P.M. ******
Tomoyo , Eriol , Salomé and Tooya were sitting on the couch. Fujikata was in his rocking chair, and Sakura and Syaoran were standing in the middle of the room. Kero was sitting on Salomé's lap.
During one hour, Sakura had explained the situation to her father and her brother. She had tried her best to answer their question. At the beginning Tooya was revolted, but he soon understood that there was nothing to do. Fujitaka was in shock during a few minutes, but he soon recovered his senses. Even though the two men were deeply shattered by the news, they keep hope. And they understood that it would be better for Sakura to live at Eriol's house during a year, to train herself. Fujitaka consented to let his daughter leave his house, even though it torn his heart apart.
"I know that nobody is in a real good mood, but I think we should eat something" Fujitaka proposed.
While they were all standing up, Tomoyo let out a cry of surprise, and pointed at Salomé's arm .which was translucent "Salomé!!! Your arm!! What..." .Salomé gave her a faint smile "I'm disappearing Tomoyo-chan. Don't worry, it's not painful" Salomé slowly closed her eyes " It's only that Syaoran's spell is ending. I think that, in less than err...10 minutes, I'll be back to my "Ghost form"."
Salomé opened her bright caramel coloured eyes. She patted Kero's head and said "I'm sorry Kero, but soon I won't have legs anymore, so I think that you should sit somewhere else. Ho ho ho ..."
Kero looked up at her spread his little wings and floated in front of her face and finally he mumbled " You're a nice girl in fact. 'Scuse me for yelling at you..." Salomé gave him a wink and said "No problem Kero -chan. You're a good guardian too. Ho hohohohoho"
She looked at Syaoran "Thank you. For your kindness. And once again, I'm sorry , because during one day I had stolen your strength..."She faced the group "Don't worry, I'll still be here with you. Most of you can see Ghost, so don't worry I'll be here."
Suddenly she hugged Tomoyo, with her other arm "Tomoyo-chan..I'll miss you. You're really nice. I'd like to have spent more time with you, you're such a treasure..."Tomoyo had tears in her eyes. She hugged Salomé close and sobbed "I'll miss you so much!! I want you to stay with us... Salomé, Salomé, you can't leave me... Salomé, my friend..." The two girls were crying in each other arms , and in the room there were tears in everybody's eyes. Suddenly Eriol couldn't stand it any longer. He suddenly pulled Tomoyo back from Salomé, almost violently. Everyone in the room gasped but Eriol didn't cared, that his friends were glaring at him . He stood in front of Salomé and closed his eyes, then made a strange move with his right hand ,and began to chant a spell
"Power of Life, I; Eriol , Heir of the greatest Sorcerer Clow Reed; call upon you
Hear my plea and fulfil my Prayer : Cover this spirit with its materiel coil
And achieve your perfect Illusion. Power of Life, Release your power now! "
Salomé began to glow brightly and suddenly the whole room went blue. Salomé yelled. During a few seconds, the time stopped.
Then the room gradually recovered it's original aspect. Everyone was speechless...
Eriol spoke : " This is not a great spell, but I hope it'll be useful to you. You've a human aspect, but that's all. Your skin is warm and coloured, but your heart doesn't beat and you can't bleed, because you don't have blood. You can't eat, you can't drink, and you don't need to sleep. You can't breath too. You can use this spell forever if you want, but if you want to delete it one day , just say " Power of life, I thank you for your help. Now let me go back to my true form. Hear my plea and release me.". That's all.
-But... But... How do you do that? You're certainly using your strength for me, I can't let you do this ..." Salomé was interrupted by Eriol who was smiling. He said simply. "You can be sure that I don't use my strength. That's simply the Power of Life...
-But...
-No "buts" . Please, accept my little present.". And Eriol smiled again. Salomé jumped at him and squeezed him. "Thhhhaaaaaaaannnnnnnnnnk yyyyyooooouuuuuuu !!!You're so niiice!!! I'm relieved. I'll be able to do a lot of things for helping Sakura-chan now!!Thank you so much!!! Waaaaah!!"
Eriol sweat dropped, then smiled again.
******10P.M.******
"So, let's go. Everybody 'll sleep in my house tonight, and tomorrow, you'll bring all your stuff. OK?
-No problem Eriol-Kun. Good night Dad , good night 'Nii-chan! See you tomorrow!!!" Sakura waved her hand and went out of her house to join the her friends. They walked in the cold night. Syaoran was holding Sakura's hand ,and Eriol was babbling with Tomoyo. Salomé was just behind the two couples, and Kero was on her shoulder.
After a while Syaoran stopped and suddenly shouted " I'm pretty bored with you. SO I think that you should show yourself, and quickly, before I begin to be really angry." Sakura, Salomé and Tomoyo looked at him, wondering what the matter was. Syaoran explained quietly "Someone with magical powers is following us since...
-Since we left Sakura-chan's house."Eriol finished. Syaoran nodded.
The others were bewildered. Tomoyo didn't feel anything, but that was quite normal, because she hadn't magical powers. But Salomé and Sakura were two powerful sorceresses. This wasn't normal.
Salomé was thinking I don't sense anything.. What's the matter with me? .. wai'..Yeah!I FEEL IT NOW!! I got it!! Yeah, I can sense some Magic.. and I feel an aura too. But .. I know this aura... No.. THIS ISN'T POSSIBLE!!! Salomé eyes grew wide.
Syaoran shouted again "Come here at once! We have sensed you. Don't try to hide yourself, that's useless..." . A shadow emerged from the darkness. It slowly walked toward the group. "it" was a tall and handsome man, with long black hair. His eyes were brown, and he was glaring coldly at the group. He was taller than Syaoran . And, maybe the most obvious thing, he wasn't Japanese . Wow...he is really handsome, even though he is really older than us...How old is he? 28? 30 ? though Sakura and Tomoyo, at the same time. The mysterious foreigner slowly said " Don't worry. I'm not here to fight you..." His Japanese was perfect. " I'm here for my love. Just let me see her." Syaoran glared at him , and opened his mouth when he suddenly heard a hoarse call coming from behind him. " VINCENT.". Syaoran quickly turned around and saw Salomé. Her fist were clenched and she was looking at the ground , shaking.
Immediately the face of the mysterious man softened. A smile appeared on his lips and he whispered "Salomé... My love... I found you...". He opened his arms. Suddenly Salomé yelled "Viiinceeeent!!!" and ran toward him. She literally jumped on him, her legs encircling his waist and her arms around his neck. The man lost his balance and felt on the ground. But he didn't mind. His hand were encircling Salomé's back, and he was softly kissing her neck . Between two kisses , he whispered some words to his beloved " Mon amour.. Je t'ai retrouvé...My love... I found you..." ; "je ne vais plus te laisser maintenant , je te le promet...I won't let you alone now , I promise you..." , " Je t'aime tellement ...I love you so much...".
Salomé was sobbing . She was unable to release her grip from him. She couldn't believe it, Vincent the man she loved more than her life , was in her arms. He was here, holding her , kissing her, whispering his love to her... She couldn't help but sobbed louder.
Five pairs of eyes were looking at the couple, who was lying on the ground. Tomoyo and Sakura were crying, overjoyed for Salomé. Eriol was smiling, and Syaoran ....Syaoran was thinking. He tried to picture himself what would be his reaction, if his beloved was killed, and if he found her again ten years later . I think that I would have exactly the same reaction than him... He smiled to himself and to the couple who was laying on the ground. Syaoran took Sakura in his arms, and inhaled the fresh scent of her skin. NEVER. He would never let her go.
