Author's Note:
Okay, what freaked me out about this chapter was that I got it from a
DREAM!! And I thought it will be
perfect for the story (well duh! It's a
dream, it can't be wrong). It's sad, so please don't flame me.
Cherish Thy Wolf
I couldn't believe
that she actually asked me to the prom, I mean I wanted to go with her and all,
but I thought I'd be the one asking her. A prom? I have never ever been
to one since the clan refused me too. But what was even worse that night was the full moon. I closed all the windows in my house to
prevent its beams from coming in. If the
slightest moonlight touches me, then I will become a wolf, against my
will. I changed into my tux and
prepared the corsage for her. I was
really jumpy and my hands were shaking. Then the doorbell rang and it startled me.
When I opened it,
Sakura was there. Was it 7:15
already? Guess so. She looked beautiful. She wore a light pink gown that had a few
sequins here and there. It flowed down
to her ankles, showing pink short heels with sequins. Her top was like a turtleneck but was clung to her skin. It had an opening from the center of the
neck down. Fortunately not that down or
I would have fainted.
"Ready?" she asked
me. I snapped out of the trance.
"Oh! Uh, yeah. Um, I have something for you." I
pulled out the corsage, which was made out of peonies and some cherry blossom
buds. She blushed and smiled that sweet
smile that made me flush. I took her
wrist and tied it on. She had one of
those long gloves that reached up to her arms. On the top, there were sequins too.
"Thank you Syaoran,
I love it. Let's go!" She linked her arms with mine and she pulled
me out of the house and I pulled the door shut. I looked at the starlight sky and the moon was thankfully covered
by thick clouds and trees. Sakura
pulled me to the black stretch limo and a guy opened it for us. Inside were Tomoyo and, ugh, Eriol. He smiled that dumb smile and I felt like
punching his face.
"Good evening,
Syaoran," he said. Sakura stepped
inside and sat in front of Eriol. I
went in after.
"Same to you," I
gritted. I shut the door and it was dim
inside with the black windows closed and a little light form the ceiling.
Throughout the
ride, Sakura and Tomoyo were talking about who will be there and what they were
going to wear, you know, those girls' things. Eriol and I had a staring contest.
When we arrived, I
fear the moon again. It was still
covered by the clouds. I sighed and
something grabbed my arm.
"We aren't going to
stay out here all night are we?" Sakura asked, linking her arms with mine once
more. She pulled me in before I can
answer and she immediately began to awe at the site. She saw the bright lights and the grand chandelier in the center
of the dance floor. I was pretty awed
myself since I have never been to a prom before. It was really fancy, this one is. Tables with lit candles showed delicious looking food Huge windows surrounded the room and I still
see no sign of the moon.
"Come on let's
dance, Syaoran!" she bubbled excitingly.
"Wha?" but she
already pulled me to the dance floor. "Sakura, I don't know how to dance! I never.." She placed my hands
onto her hips and I went completely red. She grabbed the other hand into her hand and she began to lead.
"Just follow the
music," she whispered in my ear. "Don't
try to learn it. Just give in to the
music." I didn't know what she meant,
and I took a quick glance at the other dancing couple. The first one I saw was Eriol and how he was
dancing with Tomoyo. If he can dance,
so can I. I took Sakura in my dance
moves and pretty soon, I knew how to dance. [Pretty amazing, ne? This
happens almost everywhere. Especially
FF8]. Then the music slowed down and
the lights dimmed out so only the candles were glowing, giving it a romantic
effect. I didn't know what to do, but
Sakura seemed to know. Since one of my
hands was at her waist already, she took the other one and put it on the other
side of her waist. Then she wrapped her
hands around my shoulders and leaned her head on my shoulder. I couldn't believe how close we were and I
felt like I was going to burst. I felt
nervous all over, but it felt too good, too right to let go.
I felt that I could
melt in his arms. I felt so safe and
comfortable in his arms. I let a long
breath escape my mouth and I felt his shiver in nervousness. We paid no attention to the song. Just only us. Pure bliss.
"Syaoran," I started. He looked at me and I faced him. It was a little too close for comfort.
"…Yes,
Sakura?" I could tell he was nervous of
what would happen. And I laughed
softly.
"…We only know each
other for awhile, but already I –" Suddenly
the blast of music rang through and cut me short. I was disappointed, and I really wanted to tell him, but I lost
my chance. The soft music ended and I
cursed the DJ.
"Thank you
Syaoran. I enjoyed the dance."
"No, thank you
Sakura. I really had this much fun
before. Thank you for inviting me," he
said. I really wanted to tell him, but
now's not the right perfect moment. Guess
I'll have to wait.
"Hey, Syaoran,
could you get us some punch?" I asked with a sweet smile.
"Sure. Okay," he goes of to the punch bowl area and
I go off to talk to Tomoyo. We started
to talk when a brand new light shown in. I look at the window near the punch bowl and see a round silver moon
shine out of the clouds. It was really
beautiful. Then I looked at Syaoran. He seemed held two wine glasses with punch
in them and then he gasped. He let the
glass fall and it shattered. He
screamed. I watched like the others on
what was happening.
I held the glasses
and searched for Sakura when something stung my back. I didn't need to turn around to know what it was. The moon. The moon has come out of the clouds. No!!! Not now!!!! I screamed and tried to fight it back, but
it was no use. No everybody knows.
"Hey, are you
alright?" this kid asks me. I bent over
on my knees and I felt the rippling sensation come over.
"…Get..a-away!!!" I
grunted. He looked at me in surprise
and I heard some of the students gasp in shock. I arched my back and screamed hoarsely and my clothes ripped back.
"What's happening
to him?"
"What's going
on?" I heard the questions roamed
throughout the crowd as I bent back on my knees. That kid approached me.
"Do you need some
help?" I shuddered and said one last
word before I change.
"..Run.." Then the sensation ended and I arched and
roared as the clothes shredded. I stood
on all fours and the people screamed and stood back. They stood still in amazement. I growled and my eyes focused on the boy. I stepped foreword him and he stepped back, and bumped into a
table. I growled and my human-side was
battling my change. My eyes softened
and I whimpered. I can't hold the beast
in my back. I roared again and the boy
stumbled, knocking the table down. The
flame from the candle caught quick to the cheap tablecloth and it was engulfed
in a fire. He got to his feet and ran
like the others to the exit. I leaped
on to the table and howled to the treacherous moon. I must get rid of myself.
I couldn't believe
my eyes. I wouldn't believe my
eyes. But the truth was laid in front
of my eyes. The guy I love was the
beast I tried to kill. Syaoran? The wolf? My heart felt shattered into a million pieces. The crowds were running past me and I could feel Eriol tugging on
my sleeve to run.
"Syaoran?" My eyes stayed on him.
"Sakura! We must leave!" he said. I didn't move towards the exit, only toward
the rampaging beast that was destroying the room in fire. He had a sad look on his face, as if he felt
pain.
"Sakura!!" I turned around to see Kero jump from
Tomoyo's bag.
"Kero?! What are you – "
"No time,
kiddo! You have to kill the wolf. It's trying to burn the place down!!" he
shouted above the roaring heat. I
turned my attention back to Syaoran. He
didn't wear that killing look like he did when we first fought.
"But, Kero! He's Syaoran!" He flew back in surprise.
"HE IS THE
BEAST!!??!!" He closed his eyes. "I know it must be tough Sakura, but he
tried to kill you. And he might hurt
the city. You have to – "
"NO!!" I shouted. "I have to help him. He's still
Syaoran!" I ran to Syaoran, quickly
picking my way through the hellhole. The fire was reaching the ceiling as I looked up, but I wished I hadn't
looked. I stepped on a foreign object
and fell. I heard Tomoyo and Kero shout
out for me.
"LOOK OUT
SAKURA!!" I turned around to my back to
see the chandelier creak and fall to me. I closed my eyes and cried out.
"AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!" I felt myself being pulled. When I opened them, it was Syaoran. No, it was the wolf.
"…run...Sakura...run.." He stood next to me, his eyes sad and
sorrowful.
"No Syaoran!" I
shouted. "You have to get out
too!" He turned away.
"..Run…before I
have to attack you." I looked at him in
surprise. Was he really going too? He bared his teeth and tried to run away,
but couldn't. He stood up, whimpering
and howled, but he cut short as I heard a bang, and screams. And Syaoran fell down.
"SYAORAN!!" I grabbed his shoulders and I could feel him
writhing. I cried as I saw blood flow
to the ground. He was turning back to a
boy. I looked over to where Eriol and
Tomoyo were. Eriol held a gun in his
hand and Tomoyo shrieking at him.
"What have you done
Eriol!!??" she screamed, sobbing. He
put the gun down.
"He was going to
kill Sakura." He dropped the silver
gun. Tomoyo punched him square in the
face and Eriol blacked out. Kero
dragged him outside. I turned back to
Syaoran, fully back in a boy with shredded tux.
"Tomoyo! Get help now!" I sobbed. She fled outside.
I grunted in
pain. Something pulverized my
heart. I instantly new it was the end
when I felt the cold silver metal bullet embedded in my heart. I blacked out.
When I regained
consciousness, Sakura was kneeling over me, crying, holding my hand to her
face. Hm, at least I'm not naked. I wonder why. Doesn't matter anyways. I
reached my other hand to her face and wiped the tear away.
"Syaoran?" She took me in her arms and I grunted in
pain.
"I'm…sorry…Sakura…"
I coughed. "…At first I just wanted to
get your card…so I can turn my clan back to……humans again. I know that you was the Mistress…but," I
choked back as my breathes were minimizing. "..I…You must hate me now.. – "
"No, Syaoran," she
wept softly. "You must have hate me
now. I tried to kill you…and I never
knew you were Syaoran. I'm so
sorry." She held my hand tighter and I
twinge in pain. My end was coming.
"Sakura. I don't hate you. Even if my heart is shot, my love for you has not shattered. What you did was just to protect your
town. I love you, Sakura…" and things
got dark.
"Syaoran?! SYAORAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!" my screamed echoed
through the burning building. I held
him close to me and whispered, "I love you too."
