Syaoran's Wish
Chapter 4
Challenage From Ryo
Sakura sat up in her bedroom, looking through the newly transformed Sakura Cards.
"Hello Star Cards." She said, smiling.
The cards floated up and danced around her, making her feel better. Sakura suddenly jumped up when an envelope flew through her open window.
"What the...."
The letter was addressed to her, with no name saying who it was from. Carefully, she opened the envelope and held it out.
Nothing happened.
So she took the letter itself out, and unfolded it. In beautiful writing, the letter was written like so:
Dear Ms. Sakura Kinomoto,
Meet me at the park in one week, bringing no one but yourself and the precious Syaoran. No hiding, Sakura, for I will find you. No tricks either. Simply you and Syaoran. The wooded area of the park. There will be a young girl waiting. She will have brown hair and ruby eyes. She will bring you to me.
If you try and hide Sakura, I will find you and destroy you all.
Sincerely,
Ryo
Sakura ran as fast as she could down the stairs, bumping into Yue. He lifted his brow ever so slightly in amusement.
"What troubles you, Mistress?"
Sakura handed him the letter, nervously. Yue was always so cold and serious. She hoped he wouldn't blast her for this one.
Yue read the letter with a grim face. Handing it back to her, he stated that she had no choice.
"What am I supposed to do?"
"You must face her. Ryo will not tolerate you hiding from her."
"But she's stronger then me!"
"All have a weakness, Sakura, remember that."
Yue walked off to tell Kero, who was happily eating pudding.
"Kerberos, we have a problem."
"Oh really? What?" Kero asked, though it came out more like "Maat?"
"Ryo has challenaged Sakura to a match. Magic against magic."
"Are you kidding Yue?"
"Do I ever joke around Kerberos?"
Kero looked down.
"No, you don't. Anyway, what do we do? What did Ryo say?"
"Ryo demanded Sakura not to hide. And for the battle, we are not to come. It is strictly Syaoran and Sakura."
"You mean the brat gets to go with her??"
Syaoran entered the room, hearing the word 'brat'.
"What are you two talking about?"
"You are supposed to go with Sakura to face Ryo in a battle."
"What?? When?"
"In a week."
"You better watch over her kid. If you do one thing to hurt her I'll-"
"Yea, stuffed animal, I get it. Besides, do you really think I'd let something happen to Sakura?"
"Rrmm."
Kero finished off his pudding as Syaoran went outside to train. There was very little time to work, and so much to do.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Tomoyo walked in, took one glance at Sakura, and knew something was up.
"Are you ok Sakura?"
"Yea, fine, why?"
"You look a bit pale."
"Oh. Sorry to worry you."
"Ok. Just as long as you're fine."
"Yea, I am, don't worry Tomoyo, everything will be ok."
"If you say so.."
Sakura walked back upstairs to her room and flopped down on her bed with a sigh.
"How am I supposed to face her? It's impossilbe!" She said out loud.
Sakura closed her eyes to think and was soon asleep.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Ha ha ha*insert evil laugh*. I've got you right where I want you Cherry Blossom."
Ryo's eyes glimmered in the darkness of the night. Revengence was always so sweet.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Syaoran knocked on the door to Sakura's room and waited. When he recieved no answer, he peeked inside. Sakura was asleep on her bed, tangled in the blanket. He sighed.
Being careful not to wake her, he moved her to the right end of the bed and placed the blankets on her. Sitting by the bed, he too, soon fell asleep.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Sakura woke up in the middle of the night, and looked around. Someone had moved her and was still there. Sitting up, she saw Syaoran, asleep, by her side.
"Oh Syaoran.."
She craved to tell him, to brush his hair back away from his face, to let him know how she felt. Her gaze was adoring. As she fell back asleep, she whispered his name and took his hand.
"If only I could..Syaoran."
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
A week passed quickly. A little too quickly for Sakura. That night when Sakura took Syaoran's hand changed a lot of things. She would blush when she was caught staring at him, when she caught him staring at her, and more things. Syaoran stayed in Sakura's room, supposedly 'on guard' when they all knew the real reason he did. Yue would watch from the tree outside her window, to really keep guard on his sleeping mistress. Tomoyo would help around the house and started working on an outfit for Sakura.
Finally, the day had come.
Syaoran and Sakura waited patenitly while Tomoyo took pictures and recorded them and every little thing else she had to do.
Tomoyo created Sakura's outfit out of careful thought and knowing Syaoran's weakness. The dress was emerald green, matching her eyes. It fit on her like a charm, showing curves, but not too tight. It was short, going a bit above her knees, with a pink ribbon criss-crossing across the chest area. The sleeves were three-fourths, with a long piece of fabric hanging down from each arm the knees.
Syaoran couldn't help but stare. Sakura looked beautiful. Well, to him, she looked beautiful in anything. But still, Tomoyo had created another masterpiece. She had tried making an outfit for him, but he refused, and wore his Chinese battle outfit. The way the two looked together was a dream for Tomoyo. It would be all over school hallways A.S.A.P.! She could see it now... 'Sakura Kinomoto and Syaoran Li, the cutest couple of Japan!'
"Tomoyo? Earth to Tomoyo? We're gonna be late."
"Oh! Sorry for taking so long, but you two look to cute!!!!"
*anime face fall here*
"Ok..well...wish us luck!"
"Good Luck Sakura, Good Luck Syaoran!"
Tomoyo frowned slightly, but let the couple continue to Ryo.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Just as she had written, there was a young girl waiting their arrival.
"Hello, Miss. Kinomoto, Master Li. If you would please follow me, my mistress is waiting."
The little girl started off, with the couple in tow. There were many twists and turns along the way. When they reached a slight clearing, the girl stopped.
"I am sorry if I took so long. I will get my mistress now. Please, wait here."
The girl ran off into the forest, and disappeared.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Sakura turned to Syaoran.
"This is it.. Syaoran-kun, if we don't both make it back, I just wanted to say.. I.."
"Don't worry Sakura, we'll come back. If we don't..."
He didn't notice that Sakura had moved closer to him until he felt her hands on his shoulders.
"Sakura.."
As if controlled by some force he couldn't explain, his hands went to her waist, as he lowered his head toward her.
At that moment, their lips met. Syaoran's hand reached up and tangled itself in Sakura's auburn tresses.
With a slight movement, Syaoran entered Sakura's mouth. Eagerly Sakura responded with passion. Only when the need for air did they part. Sakura turned bright red and looked down, removing her hands from his shoulders. Syaoran just looked at her, shocked.
Suddenly, vines whipped down from both sides, wrapping themselves around Sakura, pulling her away from him.
