'Still more preparin' to do still more mischief to cause'
Sakura grabbed her camera then went down stairs. When she went down stairs to find her dad and Syaoran cutting up some food and watching Eriol out of the corner of her eye as he balanced a bowl on his head. She couldn't resist the urge "Cause a small shower over Eriol, Rain" and as soon as she opened her eyes she saw rain falling on Eriol and he fell to the ground. That was a Kodak moment. She took a picture of it then started cracking up. Until Eriol got to his feet and an evil smirk curled his lips and he ran after Sakura, they ran all around the house. Finally she tripped and fell on the couch and quickly Eriol was on her tickling her relentlessly. "Your –hehe- get –hehe- getting me –hehe- soaked, Stop –hehaha- tickling me, -hahaha- or I'll…" He evilly smirked "Or you'll what" 'float lift Eriol off of me' Eriol started floating off of the ground. And was suspended in mid air. "Let me down" he whined. She thought about it for a moment but decided against it. I'll give you some time to think about what you've done. She left him and returned to the kitchen with a grin on her face. "Where's Eriol?" Syaoran asked noticing the grin on her face. He's floating about was her reply before she took a picture of Syaoran and returned to the living room where her and Eriol were prior. She took a picture of a floating pouting Eriol, and laughed hysterically, until Syaoran came in. He looked at her weirdly and asked what she was laughing, the fact that he didn't seem to notice Eriol made her laugh harder. She pointed above he to a brooding Eriol. Then Syaoran started to laugh too. She wasn't used to him laughing so she looked at him and took a picture of him before she returned to the kitchen.
Syaoran slowly followed in suite and suddenly heard a thump coming from behind him and then was blinded by a quick flash. He smiled then returned to the kitchen to see Sakura putting something in the microwave. Ten minutes later she pulled three plates of mashed potato, chicken cordon blue, and lo mien. And carefully brought them to the table. She set hers down in front of her seat then on each side of her. She said that they could eat anywhere she just had to set them down. They both sat down next to her, and she smiled at them.
They ate in silence until Eriol got up and put his empty plate in the kitchen. Then returned for a moment. "Sakura, that was delicious, I always enjoy your cooking." He flattered then left. She quickly returned to eating her food. Syaoran looked at her for a moment before he spoke. "I never knew you could cook so well." She blushed as she finished slurping up a noodle. "Thanks, haven't you ever had any of my lunch?" he looked puzzled, "yea once" he was the one blushing now. "Well I usually make my food, and Touya's before he went to college." "Wow" was all he said and continued eating. She finished her food, and went to put her plate in the sink. "Well its' 10:00, I'm going to go to bed. I have to be up early tomorrow, to help my dad finish the food." She added sleepily. He asked where he was going to sleep. She called Eriol in he came. "There is an extra bed in my room, and Touya's bed you guys decide amongst yourselves who sleeps where or the first on to go to bed can go to choose. Do either of you know where Touya's room is?" They both shook their heads. "Well it's the room on the left of mine. Well good night." "Good night Sakura, Night my cute little daughter." They both spoke.
They looked at her retreating form and suddenly Syaoran turned to Eriol, "Why do you keep calling her that?" "What, my cute little descendent?" Eriol asked innocently. "My cute little daughter" he asked annoyed. "Just a pet name like I'm sure you have for her." Syaoran blushed brightly. But then felt very tired. He almost felt as if he would have fallen asleep right then. He worked hi way upstairs and went in the first room he thought might have been Touya's and collapsed in bed. Down stair Eriol had his usual evil smirk on "Night My cute little descendent."
While Sakura slept she kept having bizarre dreams. She wasn't actually seeing her self, it was as if she was watching what was happening. Syaoran just kept being attacked by some unknown force. She tried everything to protect him but nothing worked. The last thing she did before everything went black was call upon windy and watery to combine and protect Syaoran and call his name. She could feel the tears sting her cheeks because she saw Syaoran lying on the ground and she ran to him but he never got any closer, only farther away.
Syaoran
I was awoken from my peaceful sleep when I heard a whimpering, and a cold wet wind floating around me. I sat up and heard Sakura crying out my name. After the shock that I was in her room wore away I ran over to her. She was crying, and whimpering my name. She appeared to open her eyes slightly then said "Syaoran never leave me" then was back asleep. I carefully laid her head back on her pillow then returned to my bed and uneasily fell back a sleep.
Sakura
I woke up with tars in my eyes but no memory of what I dreamt of. So I got up and quickly got dressed. I went or to the extra bed to see which one decided to sleep with me. I was expecting Eriol but was surprised when I saw Syaoran. 'He looks so sweet in his sleep' I thought to myself. I brushed some bangs out of his face, 'he's so handsome' I whisper to myself. I quickly return down stairs. And see that my dad's still asleep. So I start to cook. An hour later the first signs of life emerge. It was Syaoran
"Hey Sakura" he cheerfully greeted. "What time did you get up?" she smiled at him "Around 8:00, I've only been up an hour." She continued to cook but began to feel a little faint for some reason. But she continued to cut her food. She was doing it all frying, baking, cutting. Syaoran offered to help but she declined telling him he was a quest. He looked at her.
Syaoran: Actually Sakura there's something I need to tell you, (he says while he scratches the back of his head.)
Sakura: (Gives him an interested look.) What.
Syaoran: I've decided to stay as long as you'd like me to.
Sakura: (She stood there looking at him a moment, she then got composed and ran to him stopping just in front of him.) Thank-you (she said as she hugged him)
Syaoran: (He just hugged her tightly in return)
She was still holding onto Syaoran when Eriol walked in with Sakura's camera taking a picture if them. She then blushed wildly and continued to chase Eriol. She again used float to keep him out of her hair. While he was in the air every time he saw Sakura and Syaoran together he'd take a picture. She quickly got annoyed with this and let him down, he again thudded to the ground. At around 10:30 her father came down to see all three for them hard at work finishing the food.
Sakura: Good morning
Syaoran: Good morning Mr. Kinomoto
Eriol: Yes, how are you this morning my other half
Syaoran didn't seem to notice the fact that everyone was looking intently at him for a moment.
Mr.K: Good morning everybody. How long have all of you been awake?
Sakura: I woke up around 8:00 then Syaoran and Eriol woke up not long after.
Mr.K: Did you all have a nice sleep.
Eriol: I had a lovely sleep
Syaoran: I had a sleep pretty well.
Sakura shot him a quick worried glance before she spoke again.
Sakura: Dad, how late were you up last night?
Mr.K: Till after mid night.
Sakura: You shouldn't have stayed up so late. (She scolded in a worried tone) you have to start working again the day after Christmas.
Mr.K: I promise I'll go to bed early tomorrow, alright sweetheart.
Sakura: Well… Ok
He helped Syaoran and Sakura finish the rice balls they were making. At around 11:30 they put the final snacks in the oven and sat down to rest. Sakura sat down between Syaoran and Eriol to watch some TV. Only about 2 hours left till the party, I'm excited, I can't wait to give my friends there presents, I hope they like them. I really hope you like yours Syaoran. He turned to look at her and noticed she had fallen asleep and was leaning in Eriols shoulder. He tried to act like he didn't care.
Eriol: Did you get her something?
Syaoran: Of coarse I did.
Eriol: Sorry, it's just I know you two have been having trouble lately.
Syaoran: How do you know anything? (He asked vehemently)
Eriol: I've been talking to Sakura for a while and she finally broke down and told me. She was worried you hated her. And she was really upset.
Syaoran: (He looked away with shame in his eyes) I didn't mean what I said.
Eriol: I know you didn't Syaoran, you are just very bad at expressing your feelings to or towards her.
Syaoran: (He quietly nodded, he hated Eriol but when he's right he's right.) I'm going to tell her soon. (He whispered) When I give her my big present.
Eriol: Good for you Syaoran. Will promise to tell me how it goes? (He may have tortured Syaoran but he dearly loved Sakura who was in a weird way like a daughter to him, and wanted her to be happy. And he knew Syaoran would do just that.)
Syaoran: (He looks at him for a moment scanning him) Yeah, I guess.
Sakura stirred and sat up and opened her eyes for a moment but quickly lay her head on the back of the couch and fell back asleep. "I must not be that comfortable." Eriol joked. Syaoran found his remark kind of funny and laughed. It was really a nervous laugh though because Sakura was slowly leaning on him. She laid her head on his shoulder then continued to snuggle into him. His cheeks quickly reacted and flared a bright red, but Syaoran and Eriol also fell asleep. It was close to 1:00 when Sakura woke up. She jumped up and ran in the kitchen, scaring both Eriol and Syaoran in the process. She want to make sure he food that was in the oven shut off and didn't burn. She sighed as they both sleepily walked in when she saw Syaoran she remembered she woke up in his arms. So she blushed and excused herself saying she had to go get dressed. She slowly walked up stairs. When the phone rang. She was in no hurry to get it. She continued towards her room. She grabbed her Christmas out fit. Which was a short red skirt, green socks that went past her knees and a white shirt that had long sleeves that ended in a bell, with red and green alternate strips going down them, and of coarse her Star necklace which she never took off.
She was checking herself in the mirror, when someone knocking at the door. She told whom ever it was that they could come in. Syaoran appeared in the doorway and said that "Lasen Furuhata called and said he'd be here 1n 15 minutes" She looked at her watch "cutting it close" she mumbled to herself. Syaoran just looked at her. "Lasen's coming early to surprise Minako" she explained. He looked skeptically at her. Then spoke, "Do you want your present tonight, or on Christmas as well?" he said as he leaned against her doorframe. She blushed brightly. "You didn't have" she was interrupted by the doorbell.
The first guest is about to arrive and soon the fun will begin. I hope you liked Ch 8 of written. Please feel free to le me know what you think.
