S.M: I'll be doing the disclaimer today.
I do not own Card Captor Sakura or any Sailor moon characters. The wonderful and talented people of CLAMP do, as well as Naoko.
But I hope you enjoy my story. And I'd like to thank you all who have read my story so far and have reviewed and given me tips, and encouragement to continue.
This chapter flows well the only part that may be a little confusing is at the end of school it goes from when she picks up a present till she gets home, and after it tells what Syaoran did after school till he got to Sakura's. (Just keep in mind Sakura and Syaoran after school is covering around the same time frame.)
Written
Ch 7 'Last day of school, Syaoran and Eriol fun.'
Sakura woke up early again. She threw on her clothes brushed her hair and her teeth grabbed her presents and ran out of the house. She was at school in record time but she wasn't paying attention to where she was going and bumped into someone. She was about to fall before he caught her. She looked up to see Syaoran. She blushed brightly. "Can I ask you a favor?" she asked. He of coarse said yes. She handed him the bag with the crystal ornaments in it, and told him to be careful. They continued to the building, and into homeroom. Syaoran put the bag carefully and she carelessly gave him a kiss on the cheek, and told him to stay there. Then when Mamoru and Usa came in she had them come over. Then Ami then Tomoyo, then she told them that she got them all cool presents that she thinks they'll like but they won't get them till the party tomorrow. But that she got them all a little something. She gave Usagi her crystal ornament first it was a crescent moon with a bunny in it and it had her name on it. Her eyes got wide and she gave Sakura a big hug. She then gave Mamoru his it was a colored earth with his name across it. He looked at it and gave her a hug, saying it was beautiful. Next was Ami she handed her an ornament that resembled a crashing wave, with her name on it. Ami too hugged her. Saying she loved it. She gave Syaoran his next. It was a little wolf howling at an unseen moon. And his name was on it too, but it had his name. He looked at it closely then blushed as she stood there smiling at him. He gave her a tight hug. She hugged him back they were like that for a moment till Tomoyo cleared her throat. Sakura backed away from him and blushed. She walked over to Tomoyo's desk and asked her to follow. She did and Sakura put the bag on her desk. "Tomoyo I'm giving you an ornament and your present because I figure you'll want to use it, plus you and Minako are getting a special present at the party." She handed her a bag. She took out the small crystal ornament it was very delicate it was Sakura, Syaoran, Tomoyo, Meilin. Sitting together, with the Clow symbol on the ground. A smile quickly appeared as she hugged Sakura and started crying it's so sweet she kept saying. Her other friends ran over and wanted to see why she was crying. They all asked what was wrong. Sakura looked straight at Syaoran when she spoke Syaoran may be the only one who'd understand. She held up the ornament and his eyes went wide. Ami and Usa realizing their reactions wondered what was so important, besides it's beauty. This is Tomoyo, Syaoran, Meilin and I when we were young. So it's special to us.
They quickly sat down when the teacher came in. Tomoyo was in the middle of opening her present. When she saw she started squeaking getting everyone's attention. Then homeroom ended. And she was instantly videotaping her friends. She caught Syaoran before he left. "Will you walk with me to lunch? I need to ask you something." He of coarse agreed. Then they ran to their next period class because they were late.
Sakura '2nd Pr. Math'
She walked into class late so she sat right in her seat. Class flew by they didn't do anything. A few minutes before class ended she gave Naoko her ornament. It was a crystal sword with little hearts floating around it. She gave Sakura a big hugged and told her she loved it. Sakura also asked Lasen if he was still coming to the party.
Lasen: Sakura what time do you want me there?
Sakura: Be there by 1:15 because it's going to start by 1:30, Eriol will be here tonight. And I can't show Minako and Tomoyo till everyone is there. You'll be hiding for a little bit.
Lasen: The great part will be to get to see Minako's face when I give her my present.
Sakura: ok so give me a call around 1:00 and then come OK.
Lasen: OK
She quickly left to go to Science. She immediately sat down next to Mamoru and laid her head on her desk.
Syaoran '2nd Pr. Social Studies'
He walked into Social studies just making it on time. He quickly sat at his desk, which was diagonally a few seats away from Tomoyo and Usagi. He kept trying to think of what Sakura could want to ask him. But when he was getting frustrated he turned his attention back to his empty desk and the chatter of the students around him. He was getting frustrated so he decided to ask Tomoyo if she might know. "Tomoyo do you know what Sakura wants to ask me?" She shot me a puzzled look then just sweetly replied I don't know. Why? I told her to forget it. She took out her video camera and started videotaping me. I just put my head down to try to hide. It worked for now. The bell shortly rang and I quickly got to my Science class. I saw Sakura laying her head on her desk. I noticed the desk next to her was empty so I sat in it. She lifted her head up and looked at me her cheeks were slightly pink.
Next was Science and Sakura, Syaoran, and Mamoru sat and just talked the whole Period. Nothing to exciting. Syaoran noticed Sakura close her eyes as if concentration, which he knew only, meant one thing she was using or going to use a Sakura card. Then he heard a voice whisper in his he could barely hear it but it sounded like Sakura's voice. Saying something about love, and he was going to love her gift. He was cute. That made him blush. Then she smirked slightly but he noticed she was asleep. He gently shook her and she got startled and blurted "Voice return" He just had to laugh at her. Then the bell rang and they got up and went their separate ways.
The next class flew by and was quickly over. They both ran out of class to find each other.
'The rest of the day'
Sakura grabbed his hand and dragged him after her. They were standing by her locker talking but their hands were still connected. She started slowly asked how his morning was, what he has for lunch. Then she got to what she really wanted to talk to him about.
Sakura: There's something I want to ask you. I know you're probably going to say no.
Syaoran: (A nervous look came on his face) W- wh- what?
Sakura: Well you see you're going to be alone on Christmas.
Syaoran: I know that.
Sakura: Well, Iwaswonderingifyouwantedtostaywithmeovervacation.
Syaoran: (His puzzled look changed to one of disbelief. Knowing her for as long as he did, he understood perfectly what she said) I…
Sakura: Before you answer if you say no I'm coming over your house everyday. Or forcing you over mine. (She tightened her grip on his hand) Please.
Syaoran: I don't thin…(He looked at her drooped expression)
Sakura: Come on (she whispered)
Syaoran: How long would it be for? (He scowled)
Sakura: (Her head lifted a little.) as long as you like you could stay all vacation if you'd like. But at least till Christmas. We can just hang out and talk, and get to each other again.
Syaoran: (He looked at the hope in her face) I'll definitely stay till Christmas, but I don't' know how long after that.
Sakura: (She looked at him for a long moment then hugged him tightly) Thank-you, Thank-you (she squeaked.) But I should tell you that you aren't getting your presents till Christmas now.
Syaoran: Fine
By the time they finished talking the lunch bell had rung. And it was off to drawing. He put his arm around her as they walked towards the classroom and she winced slightly. "Your arms still hurt?" he asked concerned. She just nodded her head. He removed his arm from around her, but she grabbed onto it and leaned on him as they walked. They arrived at the class and just talked the whole time because they weren't really doing anything. "Come over tonight" she stated randomly. He looked at her oddly before figuring out what she was talking about. "Fine I will but I can't come till later because I have to pick something up." She looked at him then thought for a moment "That's ok, because I have a few more things I have to do after school." She agreed. They continued to chat till the bell rang.
They walked together to Chorus. She sat at her seat till she noticed Tomoyo talking to the teacher. Then she sat down in her seat, with an evil grin that she hasn't seen in a long time. 'I haven't seen that grin since when her and Eriol used to…' She cut her thought short knowing it meant trouble for her. She saw Rika and called her over giving her a crystal horse ornament. She hugged her then returned to her seat. Class started and Syaoran entered, she couldn't look at him without blushing. He told us there will be one duet today and when we get back from vacation we'll get back to regular practice. He got a song out said it's a duet for a soprano and a male voice. Li will provide the male voice, and the girl will be. He was in thought before that dreaded name fell from his mouth Kinomoto. I dragged my self up to the front of the class. And Mr. Kino went behind the piano. And started to play
The music started to play it was some song I've never heard of. But we sang
Sa…
"In me
I hope you'll find a special friend
Our hearts forever tied as one.
You will…always be true to me."
Sy…
"With you by my side my heart will stay true,
With you in my arms I shall never stray.
But if you'd just listen to my words and looked in my heart
I'd know it would all be Ok"
Both…
"Because I love you and my heart will never stray
Because we are one and with out you it's not worth it
I will always be true to you no matter where our paths stray"
Sa…
"With you by my side
Nothing san hide from the force of my might"
Sy…
"You are the key to all of me
And it's something only you will touch."
Sy…Sa
"You complete me"
"I complete you."
"We belong."
They finished the song and the whole room was standing with thunderous clapping. Their voices melded well and complimented each well. Soon the bell rang and the blushing pair was allowed to leave the spotlight. Then both ran to English bright pink. They sat down in their seats and didn't say a word. Until Sakura saw Minako come into the classroom then she quickly hauled her over. She gave her, her crystal ornament it was a heart with a lace like look around it and her name on a crystal ribbon going across it. And she explained to her how she get her present now because she's getting a special gift at the party. She handed her a small box and she opened it. She looked at the necklace it was sterling silver, with a silver open circle charm with a golden heart inside. She hugged Sakura nearly choking her. She sat down next to Sakura, then shortly all her friends followed that were in her English class, Usagi, Lasen, Chiheru, Mamoru sat down and soon Tomoyo approached the group with her camera rolling. Soon the teacher arrived and they all just sat around and chatted until. She also gave Chiheru her ornament. It was a crystal Christmas tree with children around it that kind of resembled herself, Tomoyo-chan, Rika-chan, Naoko-chan, Sakura-chan, and Li-kun. She gave her a big hug and told her she loved it.
Someone came in to class late it was Kazu. The class remembered he was badly bruised and had a swollen nose. But when he came in his arm was in a sling his nose was very swollen and he was even more beat up than when he left class. Some kid asked him what happened but he just looked at Sakura and said nothing. "You did that to him Sakura" Syaoran asked but it was more of a statement. She frowned she had felt bad for hurting him even though she knew he deserved it. She got up from her seat and went over to him. She apologized for what she had done to him. He accepted and apologized for what he said. She accepted and sat down at her seat. Everyone one looked at her not knowin' what the heck just happened. Syaoran continued to stare at nothing. The bell, finally rang she told her friends to be at her house tomorrow no later than 1:40. And said she'd see them later. She then ran out of the building.
'Sakura, After School'
From school I ran to an old store that sold Chinese artifacts they were pricey but it was worth it. The clerk asked why I wanted that particular item so badly.
Clerk: Not that's it's any of my business miss but what's so special about this particular item?
Sakura: It's past is perfect for one of my friends, they should love it and that's all I want.
Clerk: Well good luck, miss, I hope they like it.
Sakura: Thank-you, (she looked to see if her inscription was where she wanted it) It's perfect
I looked around quickly and noticed a mirror that was near where the other present was. I brought it up to the clerk.
Sakura: is from the same time as the other one?
Clerk: Yes, it was his personal 'magic' mirror he said jokingly.
Sakura: (She could sense it really was) I'll take it.
Clerk: ok.
I gave him the money and he wrapped it for me. Then I was on my way. I stopped by a store and saw some nice things and stopped in and bought them. I then continued with her bag of presents.
When I got home it was about 5:00 "I wondered who will be here first Eriol, or Syaoran?" I quietly wished Syaoran; I opened the door and was surprised when sensed Syaoran's aura upstairs, it was angry and agitated. But I had to find my dad first. "DAD!" I yelled. "In here" he answered. I walked into the kitchen to see food everywhere. "Is Syaoran here yet?" I asked "yes, matter of fact he's somewhere with Eriol." "Uh-oh" is all I said before I started to run off. "Sakura, is that for Syaoran" he pointed to the bags. I blushed and said yea, I told him, if he's here for Christmas, I didn't want him to have just the one present. "I got him something too, we had a little bit of time before Eriol showed up. And we got to talking he's a nice young man." "Well I better go save them from each other, he hates being called cute little descendent." I nervously laughed. As I quickly worked my way up to my room where I saw Syaoran tied up and Eriol dancing around.
(Eriol quickly turned to see Sakura)
Eriol: "My cute little daughter" (he yelled as he ran over to he and hugged causing her to drop the stuff in her hands.)
Sakura: "Hello Eriol," (she greeted nervously.)
She quickly kicked the stuff under her bead before Syaoran could see it. She then walked over to him and untied him.
Sakura: "Sorry I took so long" (she apologized as she extended her hand to help him up.)
He took it and rose to her feet. He looked at her oddly as she spoke.
Sakura: "I'm sorry I kind of forgot tell you about my plans. Syaoran, Eriol's only staying tonight (Eriol nodded) I brought him here for Tomoyo-chan, but no one knows, except her mom. And after the party he's going to stay with Tomoyo-chan, her mom agreed."
Syaoran: (He nodded in understanding) That's Ok
Sakura: And Eriol, Syaoran is staying with my dad and I till the 26. So behave.
Eriol&Syaoran: Can I help you finish wrapping your gifts.
Sakura: Uh, no. (Sweat drops) Why don't you go help my dad with the food. I'll be down when I'm done wrapping the presents I have left.
Eriol&Syaoran: OK
They both left the room but not before I noticed Syaoran's eyes darting to underneath my bed. "Boy, that was close" I whispered to myself. I quickly wrapped my other presents for Syaoran "He's going to be so happy," I knew Syaoran could sense the magic of the presents, so I called upon my wand and asked Shield "protect these gifts from a peeking Syaoran and Eriol" knowing Eriol'd eventually just get nosy. I quickly ran down stairs to join my friends and father.
'Syaoran after school'
I quickly left the school building and returned to the jewelry store I was at the other day. I gave the clerk my money and looked at my choice once more before the clerk wrapped.
Clerk: It's a beautiful piece, Sir.
Syaoran: Yes it is, but not as beautiful as my cherry blossom. (He blushed brightly when he said that)
Clerk: That's sweet, may I ask what her name is?
Syaoran: Sakura.
Clerk: what a beautiful name, well I'm sure she'll love you present.
Syaoran: Thank-you.
I quickly left the store and headed back to my apartment. I quickly threw some stuff in a small suitcase for my visit over Sakura's. I noticed a pile of pictures that I kept on my nightstand by my bed I saw a picture that I loved it was one of the times Sakura attacked me and I was blushing. I had 2 copies of that picture so I took it and cut a big heart shape out of it, and stuck it in my pocket till I returned to the other room. I set my suitcase down and took out the object I got for Sakura and placed the picture in it. Then I quickly left the building. I stopped at a store on my way over to pick up something for her father. I bought a big platter of food to give to Mr. Kinomoto. And I noticed something beautiful out of the corner of my eye. I looked at it and bought it. I then continued onto Sakura's house. I stood outside for a moment a little nervous till the door opened and Mr. Kinomoto invited me in.
He brought me in the kitchen and I sat on a stool and we talked.
Mr. K: How are you today Li-kun?
Syaoran: I am well, you can call me Syaoran.
Mr. K: Alright, Syaoran Sakura tells me you are from Hong Kong, are you here with family or something like that?
Syaoran: I first came here with my butler Wei, he's taken care of me ever since I was a young boy. But he left not to long ago to return to Hong Kong, so now I live by myself.
Mr. K: That's to bad. Let me ask you Syaoran Li are you a member of the famous Li-clan in China?
Syaoran: (He shot him a surprised look.) Yes sir
Mr. K: So you were at one time looking for the Clow cards too?
Syaoran: (a even more shocked expression) y-yes.
Mr. K: I found out not to long a go from my daughter. She is the new card Mistress.
Syaoran: I know I'm proud of her.
Mr. K: You aren't angry for her taking what was rightfully your destiny?
Syaoran: Of coarse not. To be honest I stopped caring about my mission to collect the cards a long time ago. I just would worry about Sakura's well being.
Mr. K: You truly are noble (Young descendent, he whispered)
Syaoran: (Syaoran said something but ignored it) Thank-you for letting me stay with you till Christmas Mr. Kinomoto.
Mr. K: that's really all right, Touya's stuck at college during vacation so it'll be nice to have some more people around. Sakura can use the company, because I'm usually to busy working.
Syaoran: (Realizing he had some food) This is for you.
Mr. K: (Looks at the basket then Syaoran) Thank-you Syaoran.
Syaoran: Your welcome. It's to say thank-you, and to help with her party.
Mr. K: I hope you will stay as long as you like I know Sakura was really looking forward to you visiting.
Syaoran: (Blushes) Thank-you, I think I might stay as long as she want's me to and as long as you will allow me.
Suddenly the door flies open "Hello, My other half and my cute little descendent." We both sweat drop as Eriol comes bursting in. "What are you doing here?" I yell. "Sakura didn't tell you?" Is all he said before he chased me upstairs. I ducked in a room and upon inspection I noticed it was Sakura's room. I was brought out of my thoughts by feeling something wrapping around me, I looked and saw Eriol tying me up with a rope. I then watched as my deranged elder started dancing all around.
I soon heard what sounded like Sakura's father talking to someone. Then I heard footsteps running up the stairs. I saw Sakura as she entered her room with bags in her hands. I also noticed what felt like magical power radiating from one of the bags. Then Eriol spotted her, "My cute little daughter" he yelled as he hugged Sakura so tightly she dropped her bags. I noticed she kicked them under her bed. She then walked over and untied me. She apologized for being so late as she helped me to my feet. Then she explained that Eriol is a surprise for Tomoyo-chan and after the party he would be staying with her. I nodded then she told Eriol that I would be staying with her till Christmas. I haven't yet told her I'll stay as long as she wants me to.
Eriol and I offered to help her finish wrapping her presents but she declined asking us to go help her father and that she'd be down in a little bit. I looked under her bed once more than agreed.
I hope you like Ch 7 of Written. The story should come to a conclusion within the next 2 or 3 chapters. So stay tuned, and keep the comments coming.
