True Emotions
Chapter 9 (yay!)
He was about to slide the blade across his wrist when he heard a gasp coming from the entrance of the kitchen. Although it was still pretty dark, there was little light from the now approaching dawn so Syaoran could see who was in the room. Sakura was staring at him with fear in her eyes. She looked at Syaoran, then the knife in his hand, and then her eyes rested on him again.
"S.S.Syaoran what are doing?"
asked Sakura in a very frightened voice.
"well isn't it obvious? I'm ending my misery"
he answered her in an icy tone.
"give me the knife"
Sakura said coming up next to him and holding out her hand. He didn't move a muscle. "Syaoran, I said give it to me.please!!!"
he then looked her in the eye and saw how they pleaded. He gave a long sigh
"I'm gonna regret this"
he muttered as he handed her the knife.
"no you won't"
Sakura said as she immediately took it away from him and put it safely away.
"what's wrong"
she asked as she took a seat next to him. he looked at her
"My head is hurting again. Though this time it's a lot worse than any other time. Ugh! I want it to stop, it's driving me crazy!"
he then banged his fist on the table as to emphasize his point.
"I'll see if I can help"
Sakura said as she put her hand on his head so she could start the transition of energy. This time Syaoran didn't object. She closed her eyes in concentration but the next thing that happened caught her by complete surprise. She opened her eyes in confusion. There was something, another spell that was blocking the transition of energy. Syaoran looked up at her when he didn't feel anything change.
"what's wrong?"
"I.I.I don't know. I can't give you any of my energy. Something seems to be blocking the way."
Syaoran gave a deep sigh and buried his head into his hands. Sakura bit her lower lip. She didn't know what to do. Although she couldn't transfer any energy to him, she felt the spell was working at maximum speed. If this continued, the whole entire process would be complete in an hour, one- hour and half, tops. She then remembered what Meilin had told her a few days ago.
~*Flashback*~
".Sakura, do you love my cousin?"
Sakura looked at Meilin straight in the eye and said
"yes I do, more than anything"
"well don't just use magic, use your heart too. Love is very powerful.don't forget what I said."
~*End of Flashback*~
Sakura drew in a deep breath. She had wanted to wait until everything had settled back to normal but now she decided to go with Meilings advice and just say it.
"Syaoran, there's something I need to tell you"
"What is it Sakura?"
"well the reason I came to Hong Kong is I.I.I wanted to tell you that"
she took in another deep breath.
'this is it' she told herself.
"I.I.I love you Syaoran!"
Syaoran just stared at her in shock. He clearly was not expecting this!
"L.L.Look Sakura, (SN: I know there's a lot of stuttering going on ^_^) I'm flattered, really! But you know I already love someone, Stacy."
Some things were finally starting to make sense to him. kinda like Meiling's attitude towards Stacy.
'she probably knew how Sakura felt'
he thought. He now knew what Meiling had meant when she said he had
"hurt Sakura."
Sakura then burst into tears.
"This is all my fault!"
she banged her fist on the table. (SN: sheesh! I'd hate to be that poor table. First Syaoran now Sakura? Hey! Leave the table alone! It never did anything to you!! Hehehehe.sorry)
"if I had told you this a lot sooner, none of this would be happening right now!"
Syaoran did nothing but stare at her. He didn't know what to do or what to say. Sakura then turned to look back at him through a tear stained face.
"what about all those times you protected me? why did you risk your life for mines so many times? Why did you do it? I know you might not care anymore but I did go to the airport that day. I went because I wanted to tell you how much I love you. But I.I.I was too late"
She lowered her gaze to the floor once more. Li was stunned by her words. A small part of him was happy that Sakura had gone to the airport. Yet the feeling was very faint he didn't notice it. He asked himself the same questions Sakura had asked him.
'why did I protect her so many times? I mean, wasn't she supposedly my enemy, my rival who I had to take the clow cards away from? Could it be that I had feeling for her back then? Maybe, but it probably was just puppy love. Nothing compared to what I feel for Stacy, right?'
he closed his eyes and an image flashed through his head. The image was of him, at the airport, sitting down waiting.
'What was I waiting for?'
another image then came to him. this time it was about the time he helped Sakura capture the time card. That was the first time that they both backed each other up in a capture. Another image then came and flooded him mind. This one was the time when Eriol had put a spell on the elevator they were on. he saw Sakura fall into the hole and how he thought he had lost her forever. He then remembered seeing Sakura come back on the float card. He then embraced her, happy that she was safe. All of a sudden his eyes snapped open in realization.
'I remember, I remember everything! That day at the airport I was waiting for her. I had hoped she would come so I could tell her that I love her'
At that moment, the spell Stacy had used on him wore off. (SN: SURPRISE!!! Sappiness straight up ahead!! ^_^) His heart once again was filled with love only meant for Sakura. He then turned to look at her and realized she was crying softly with her head down. It hurt him to see her in so much pain, especially since he was the one to have caused it. He gently put his hand under her chin and lifted her head up so she would look at him in the eyes. She had a confused expression on her face.
'what is he doing?'
"thank you Sakura. Because of you, I finally got my true emotion back. Sakura, I want to tell you something that's been inside me for years now.I love you Sakura." (SN: whoooo!!! He said it!! *ahem* back to the story.)
Sakura just stood there in shock. This was like a dream come true! She broke out into a wide grin and tears of happiness replaced her tears of sadness.
"I love you too!"
(SN: *scratches head* ummm.didn't she say that already, *shrug* oh well, second times a charm.or is that third, hmmmm.just kidding!) Sakura said happily as she threw her arms around his neck and hugged him in a tight embrace. They stayed like that for a while but eventually let go. They then stared into each other's eyes. Neither could get their eyes of the person the loved the most (SN: here it comes! The part all of you have been anxiously waiting for!) their faces drew closer and into a sweet kiss that neither would forget in years to come. After a few minutes they withdrew reluctantly, from a lack of air.
"hey, come with me. there's something I want to show you"
Syaoran said while getting up from his seat. He then held out his hand and Sakura took it. They both then walked out to his car hand in hand.
"where are we going?"
Sakura asked as she got in the car.
"It's a surprise"
he then pulled out a blindfold out of nowhere and put it on her. After about ten minutes of driving, they changed from the smooth highway road to a gravely one. Suddenly, she felt the engine die down and she heard him step out of the car. He then went around and opened up the door for her. He took her hand and gently led her somewhere.
"Syaoran, where are we?"
"why? Don't you trust me?"
she heard a bit of hurt in his voice.
"no! I mean yes! I mean I do trust you, I just wanna know where we are, that's all."
Syaoran just chuckled softly and said
"don't worry, you'll find out soon enough."
After a few more seconds he undid the blindfold. The next thing Sakura saw took her breath away. They were on top of a cliff. Below she saw the city, and the sun rising at the horizon.
"wow! It's so beautiful!"
"I'd take it you liked it?"
Syaoran said as he came up from behind her and wrapped his arms around her waist. "like it? I love it!" she answered as she leaned back and rested her head on his shoulder. She then twirled around to face him.
"Promise me we'll have more wonderful moments like this together. That we can see more sunrises, just the two of us"
Syaoran looked at her and smiled.
"I swear"
he the pulled her closer for another kiss.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Stacy slowly got out of bed and looked at her clock.
"Hmmm.7:00am already? Well the spell must have finished by now. Syaoran is now all mine"
she then lay back down to sleep some more with a content smile on her face.
'everything is working out just fine'
was the last thing she thought before she fell back to sleep. Was she ever wrong.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Where the hell is he!!"
Meiling yelled as she ran around the house. She woke everyone up with the noise she was making. Kero, Tomoyo, Lil, Mandy, Jenn, Steph, and Yelan all came down to the living room (SN: damn! That's a lot of people!).
"Meiling, *yawn* what's with all the noise?"
asked a sleepy Madison.
"Well, I got up early today so I decided to do some training with Syaoran. I went to his bedroom and he wasn't there. So I thought that maybe he was already down on the training field. I went down there and his trainer said he never showed up!"
Meiling's face was red because of all the anger she was holding in.
"if I find out he spend the night with that bitch, HE IS SO DEAD!!!"
she then looked around the room in confusion.
"where's Sakura?"
"weird, the noise didn't wake her up?"
Madison asked just as equally confused as Meilin.
"I'll go check on her"
Steph said as she made her way up the stairs. A few minutes later she came back down and said
"she's not in her room either"
"what!!! Now Sakura is MISSING!!!"
Meilin yelled out. "Meiling, calm down. They probably both woke up early and went for some breakfast"
Yelan said in an effort to calm down here niece.
"yeah well, they better! Cuz if I find out that Stacy had to do with this, I."
She stopped when she heard the front door open and voices laughing. They all turned around just in time to see Sakura and Syaoran walk in laughing and holding hands.
"did we miss something?"
Meiling asked confused outta her mind.
"you sure did"
Sakura said while smiling.
"Syaoran got his true emotions back!"
"really? Ohmigod that's great! Kero quick! Go and get my video camera from upstairs" (SN: as usual we all know who that is.but for you slow people it's TOMOYO)
Tomoyo then got out of her seat to congratulate Sakura. "Let's go eat!" Kero said as he came flying with Tomoyo's camera around his neck. They all laughed and headed towards the dinning room. Yelan pulled the couple aside for a moment.
"What are we going to do about Stacy?"
"I'll deal with her later mom"
"OK Syaoran, but don't wait too long. You can't keep avoiding her. She'll find out eventually"
"yes I know, can you do me a favor for today?"
"Sure son what is it?"
"can you tell all the guards that if she comes by today, to not let her in. also tell the maids that if she calls, just tell her I'm in some sort of clan meeting."
"sure"
with that, the three walked into the dining room to enjoy breakfast.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
That day was the best day Sakura had since she came to Hong Kong from Japan. Since it was a nice day outside, they all decided to have a picnic at the back of the mansion. They walked to a small clearing. Sakura looked around confused. She somehow felt like she has been here before.
"something wrong?"
Mandy asked as she came up next to her.
"oh, it's nothing! Just got a feeling of déjà vu"
"oh OK, wanna help me out set up the things?"
"sure!"
An hour later, they were all just sitting down on a blanket just talking when they heard footsteps approaching. They could hear voices too. It seemed like two males and one female. Sakura noticed that Syaoran's arms, which were around her at the moment, seemed to tense up upon hearing the females' voice. As the figures approached, Sakura knew why. The peoples were Stacy and two bodyguards right behind her.
"Syaoran, your bodyguards here wouldn't let me in! and when I called, the maids told me you were out at a meeting. And when I tried to call you cell you didn't pick up!!"
Stacy complained in a whiny voice.
"If I didn't know better, I'd say you were trying to avoi-did I miss something here?" Stacy asked in a confused voice as she stopped dead on her tracks. She was expecting hugs and kisses from Li, not see him and Sakura holding each other as if they were a couple.
~*To Be Continued*~
1 SN: ooooh!! Another cliffhanger!! (is that even a cliffhanger?) well sor- rry! I'm on medication at the moment so I'm slow like sapphie right now!! Anywayz, the action is just beginning! What's Stacy gonna do? Well.keep on reading to find out!! Well, I got nothing else to say at the moment, so I'm keepin' this short.bye-bye!!
