Chapter 6

Chapter 6

'Sakura...' Syaoran thought as he walked into his apartment, holding the unconsious Sakura. 'Why do you always have to do that? Why can't I keep you safe all the time?' He placed her down on his bed and started to take off her jacket.

She really looked adorable. She was wearing one of Tomoyo's crazy outfits, but this one, Syaoran thought, had accentuated all of Sakura's features. Her slim gymnastic body, her bright emerald eyes, her soft golden brown hair. Everything about her drove him nuts.

He walked into his bathroom for a wet towel. Placing it gently on her head, he spread some kind of chinese salve over her burns on her legs and arms. There were more on her back, but he could not reach them unless.....

'Oh no...not that....' He thought, backing away from the bed, turning a bright crimsom. He could not put salve on them unless..... he takes off Sakura's shirt.....

'Oh no...not that....oh god....' He thought. But it looked pretty bad. Plus, most of the injuries were there. He took one deeep breath and then another.

'Ok...I can do this...hopefully.......plus, I get to see Sakura without....Don't think like that, you baka!!' His mind screamed at him. 'You hentai!' He banged his head on the dresser, none too quietly.

'Ok....I can do this...' He said again. This time he blocked all of the thoughts that his mind sent to him.

He gently turned Sakura onto her back and unbuttoned her shirt. Taking it off, he unsnapped her bra and spread the salve over the burns. 'Ok...I'm doing ok....kinda...' He thought. It wasn't so bad. 'I never knew she had such a great body.....just like a goddess. A emerald-green eyed goddess....'

He went to the closet and picked out one of his shirt and a pair of baggy sweatpants. He put Sakura into them, avoiding looking at her underwear which was covered by the giant shirt. His clothes were a bit big, but they made Sakura look so cute.

He gentle placed her back onto the bed and covered her with his blankets. Her skin was pale and she felt so cold. He picked her up in his arms and held her tightly, the covers still wrapped around her still form.

Syaoran hugged her tight. "Please Sakura... come back to me..." He stroked her cheek. It was so soft. "Please Sakura... I love you too.... Don't leave me..." At those words, he buried his head in her chest, his eyes filling with unshed tears. "Please......" He felt the tears drop down.

Sakura felt warm. Something...someone was giving her warmth.....

'What...'

'Where.....'

'How.....'

'.......'

'Syaoran....where....'

Something wet was falling down on her neck. It dropped down and was caught by the fabric of a shirt.

'Not my shirt..... it smells like.... cinnamon and spices..... just like Syaoran....' She opened her eyes then blinked a few times. She wasn't wearing the same shirt she had one in the battle. 'What?'

She looked down and saw Syaoran's head buried in her chest. 'Syaoran?' She thought. Then a memory came back to her. It was the time when Fura shot fireballs at Syaoran and her and she jumped dodging them, while holding Syaoran around the waist. She blushed a light pink at that thought.

Then when she set him back down...she had said....she told him that she loved him. 'Oh no! What if?' She started to think then thought again. 'Why would he be holding me then?' She looked down at the boy, no man, that she fell in love with. 'Is that true?'

She raised her head and looked to the ceiling.

At the small movement, Syaoran raised his head as well and saw that Sakura was awake.

"Sakura!" He started to cry with happiness. He always thought that tears were a weakness to people and vowed never to cry, even when he got whipped by the Elders he wouldn't cry.....but now, now he was crying because he was happy. 'I don't care...' He told himself stubbornly. 'I'm just glad that Sakura is back...back with me...' He hugged her tighter to his body.

"Syaoran...." It shocked her greatly to see him cry. It also created a pain in her heart. 'Why is he crying? Why is Syaoran crying? Oh no... is he sad because he doesn't love me and doesn't want to say it? No... Kimi told me that... he loved me too....' She thought.

"Syaoran, why are you crying? Did I do something wrong?" She asked.

"No..." Syaoran sobbed. He buried his head in her hair, smelling the cherry fragrance that it gave off. 'I should tell her now...' He thought. "No..." He said again. "I'm crying... because... I love you too." He cried.

Sakura smiled and hugged him, despite her wounds. "I know... I know... Don't cry anymore..."

Syaoran looked up at her bright emerald eyes. They seemed to give off such a warmth, and he knew that she was telling the truth. "You know? How did you know?" He asked.

Sakura reached up to wipe his tears with the sleeve of the shirt she was wearing. "Kimi told me." She smiled at him. At the last minute, she changed her mind and kissed the tears away. First the left eye, then the right eye.

Syaoran smiled happily. 'She loves me.....it's a dream come true...' He reached up with his hand and caressed Sakura's cheek happily. Then he leaned in and kissed her gently. At first he was hesitant, but then when Sakura didn't protest or push away, he pulled her in and kissed her passionately.

Sakura kissed back. She poured all her emotions into, making their first kiss the most romantic one ever as well. Finally they pulled apart only for lack of air. "I love you...Xiao Lang..." Sakura whispered softly into Syaoran's left ear. Then she softly nibbled on it.

He could feel his heart leapt with shock. It wasn't because of his ear, it was because she said his real name. It sounded so soft, so nice coming from her mouth. He smiled then held her face in his hands. He kissed her gently then broke back. "I love you too....Ying Fa..." He whispered, coming in for another kiss.
