Ch10
'Will dreams take you, An evil Family'
In a way I wasn't surprised it landed on Syaoran. I looked at him and blushed, as did he. I tried to move but was hesitant as if I was frozen in place. I felt a psychic kick in the butt, and noticed it was probably Eriol because Syaoran flinched too. We moved closer together and I kissed him on the cheek, I wanted to kiss him but I didn't have the nerve. I quickly made my way to my spot but not before Rika, and Yamazki caught sight of my arm. "Sakura, what happened to your arms?" they asked. I said it was nothing really. They wouldn't leave it so I kindly asked that they leave it be. They finally dropped the topic rather unwillingly though. Eriol and Tomoyo were looking at me though. I closed my eyes and asked voice to whisper to them that I'd tell them later. They nodded in understanding.
Soon the game got a little boring and Tomoyo's eyes began to glow. "Anyone want to watch something that I taped?" she asked a few people were like cool, a few didn't then there was me who knew I would probably be in that movie somewhere.
She bounced happily over to the VCR and put in the tape and we all sat down in scattered groups. She pushed play and we watched there was images of me giving people their gifts. There was 2 embarrassing moments on the tape the first one was when I was talking to Syaoran, in the hall. Not that I was talking to him, but that I hugged him, both of us simultaneously turned bright red. But it died as we watched and she was harassing her other friends with her camera. But then a moment I had forgotten about that only Syaoran, Tomoyo, Rika, Usa, and Mina knew about. I watched as I saw my self go to the front of the class and stand next to Syaoran, and as I began to sing. I couldn't watch, I covered my head with a near by pillow. Soon thank-fully my voice fades out of the room and I remove the pillow from my face to see almost everyone staring at me. "You sound so beautiful, my cute little daughter" You can guess who said that. "I've never heard you sing before Syaoran you're amazing, you too" Said Makoto. We both looked like radishes. I wanna see you 2 sing" Yamazki cheered. "Me too" Naoko, Rika added. "Sing, Sing, Sing, Sing" Ami, Mamoru, and Lasen chanted. "You guys just want to hear Syaoran sing." I countered. "But your voice is so beautiful" a new voice added. I looked at Syaoran in amazement. Then I turn red. "I'm not singing." I look at my watch and realizes it's pretty late almost 11:30 we only have another half an hour or so. We talked and listened to music as slowly parents came for their kids. Finally it was just Tomoyo, Eriol, Syaoran and myself. They quickly asked me what happened to my arms. I slowly told them the whole story of how I encountered Kazu. And he was so mean. He kept insulting Syaoran and myself so I got mad enough and got in a fight with him. I kind of kicked his butt. Tomoyo and Eriol looked at her with shock. "No way, you really got in a fight" Tomoyo stuttered. I nodded shyly. "She was amazing" Syaoran spoke. "You saw it?" Eriol fumed "and didn't try to protect her." "I was going to but I felt that she wanted to do it on her own, and she was amazing." "Still can't believe that you didn't do anything. We've better get going." Eriol suggested. Tomoyo gave me the biggest hug "Sakura thank-you I've have never owed you so much." "Not to much just your happiness." I joked. "We'd better see you over vacation, you'd better not stay locked in your room." She laughed then realized something, "WE?" she questioned. "Bye, Tomoyo." "Syaoran you behave yourself." Eriol remarked. Causing both of us to turn bright red. "Bye you guys" I shut the door then they were gone. It was just Syaoran and I. I went upstairs and changed into a pair of pajamas Tomoyo made for me. They were silk and had a warm inside layer inside, with bell-bottoms. And a beautiful tank top that showed off my stomach. I returned down stairs and saw a wide-eyed Syaoran. I blushed then continued to the living room. "Where should we start?" I asked myself. "Shrinking the room." He suggested. "Good place." I closed my eyes and told big to return the room to normal size. It did as I asked. "Actually a quick swipe through with the vacuum and we should be pretty set." I announced. He offered but I told him he was a guest. He sat on the couch and pouted. "Dou you really want to vacuum that badly?" I asked. He gave me a weird look. I told him if he wanted to he could. He perked up and took the vacuum sitting me on the couch.
I sat there and watched the man I loved as he cleaned my house for me. He's so sweet I remember saying out loud before I fell asleep. It's a different dream for once.
DREAM
It starts happy Syaoran and I, are at Tomoyo's wedding together, and he asks me to dance, I take his hand and we float across the floor. I whisper that I love him in his ear. Then everything stops and I am alone Syaoran, Syaoran I scream out, but no reply. I hear an evil but familiar female voice tell me that Syaoran loves her and he never loved me. It was all a sick illusion. He never loved you he never loved you. I kept screaming for Syaoran but he never came. Suddenly I awake being shaken and hearing my name. I carefully open my eyes to see Syaoran in front of me. I don't know what to do, I feel so confused, did he ever care about me? Or was it all in my mind. I broke from his embrace and run up stairs but I knew he would come after me.
END DREAM
So I crashed on my bed and told lock not to let Syaoran in. As I knew he would he came banging on my door. Begging me to tell him what was wrong. I couldn't control myself and I broke down into tears. I knew Syaoran was out side of the door. I could feel him there the whole time. I was still in tears the next morning.
I slowly opened my door. He was asleep so peacefully leaning against the wall across from my room; he must have been there the whole night. Watching him now as I do makes me want to cry. I think it too late the tears are already streaking my face. I just stand there for a moment staring at him. " I- I- love him so much. But to know he doesn't have any feelings beyond friendship for me hurts so much." I carefully approach him not wanting to wake him. And sit next to him just looking at him. But my dream keeps flashing through my mind, which makes me, think maybe he doesn't care about me. He stirs and must feel my presence because his eyes shoot open and he looks right at my teary face. I just stare at him in shock, and he's just sitting staring at me too. "I- I- I'm so sorry" I finally manage to get out. And I jump into his arms hugging him not wanting to let him go. He hugs me tightly before I fall asleep.
DREAM
It's the same scene we're at Tomoyo's wedding and Syaoran and I dance. The scene fades and I'm again calling for Syaoran. And that same-hated voice tells me he loves her, and never cared for me. But this time I feel strength inside me. "He does care for me!" I yell out. "Then why haven't you told him your feelings yet?" the disgusting voice rang. "I know he cares for me, but I just don't know if he loves me." I yell pitifully. "I know he's my heart and that will always be so. Even if he doesn't love me. But I'll know tomorrow." I yell. "Well I'll know tonight. You may get a chance to keep your little wolf if it's you whom is hidden deep in his heart." The voice hissed as it faded away. "Syaoran!" I yelled one last time before…
END DREAM
I shot up but couldn't fully that's when I realized something was on my stomach. I look down to see Syaoran fast asleep with his head on my stomach. He looked like such an angel I realized then even if we were only friends I need him in my life. Suddenly we emitted a glow that quickly faded I grabbed him and hugged him tightly. Of coarse waking him. He looked at me concerned. Putting his arms around me, and rocking me, "Are you alright?" he asked. I didn't say anything. And he just sat with me. I eventually apologized for my sudden outburst last night. He just gave me an understanding smile. I hugged him tighter and he just let me be there with him.
I finally got up and asked him if he wanted a late breakfast, considering it was going on 12:00. He agreed to eat something if I make it. I watched him watch me as I went down stairs. He soon came after. When I had gotten down stairs I took the bandage off my other arm. And started cooking, I made waffles and eggs. "I hope you like waffles and eggs?" he nods and quietly eats. "Do you like Pancakes?" I ask carefully. He looks up at me and smiles "Yes, why?" "Just because I've been making a special breakfast every year since I was 8. It's pancakes shaped like trees, and bells. With green and red syrup, it's really good. And a bunch of other stuff." She blushes. "Sounds good," " It is." She countered. They continued to eat their breakfast till they heard they door open.
Sakura: Hello Dad (She greeted happily.)
Syaoran: Good morning Mr. Kinomoto
He greeted both children and proceeded to poor a cup of coffee.
Mr.K: Hello Sakura sweetie, Syaoran. Sleep well? (Sakura blushed lightly at sweetie.)
Sakura: Not really, did you have a good night?
Syaoran looked at her but said nothing.
Mr.K: Yes I did. It was a constant party. Speaking of which how was yours?
Sakura: It was great. I had fun and all my friends loved their presents. I'm so excited for Christmas tomorrow. (She practically jumped on Syaoran, who sweat dropped.)
Mr.K: Sakura you know how we have a family gathering every year? (Sakura's expressions darkened) well this year if Syaoran doesn't want to go you don't have to.
Sakura: Really? (She asks nervously)
He just nods and leaves the kitchen to go up to his room.
I quietly returned to finishing my breakfast. Syaoran casts a worried gaze on me, I can feel it, so I look up and put on a happy smile. I quickly get up and put my plate in the sink. "I'm going to go get dressed I'll be back in a minute" I told him. I came down almost a half an hour later. I was wearing my blue flannel skirt and a pale baby blue shirt that Tomoyo made for me. It had a solid body and the sleeves were made of a light blue mesh you could see my arms perfectly. So I put bandages over my healing wounds. And the back was an open lace up back; I put my hair up in 2 pig-buns. With beautiful silver ribbon coming from them. I these cool midnight blue socks that went past my knee. I went into the kitchen where I thought Syaoran would still be but he wasn't. I went into the living room and he was standing in front of my tree standing by it. I slowly approached him not wanting to scare him. "Hey" I whispered. He turned to look at me his eyes went wide. I looked down at myself confused. I then twirled and asked what he thought of my outfit. When I looked at him again. He was blushing, "You look beautiful." Now it was my turn blush.
"Have you decided if you wanted to go to the party or not?" he looked at her in thought. "What do you do at the party?" I thought carefully before I spoke. "It's an event we have ever year at my aunt Heisei's house. All my family that lives in Japan comes together. I've been going since birth (She mocked with an annoyed face); there are games, singing, contests, and actually a lot of things to do. And one tradition that started when I was old enough to speak and read. I hate it but they all look forward to it. AttheendofthenighttheyhavemepickoutanysongIwantandIhavetosingit. (She blurted out quickly) My whole family loves to sing but they think I'm the only one with a remotely decent voice." I finished with my face burning up. Syaoran of coarse understood ever syllable she spoke. And a slight grin played at his lips. "I would love to go to your families Christmas party." He said warmly. I again blushed at his kind tone, and also when a sense of worry came over me. He saw it and asked if I was alright. I said yes, then asked him if he could get. He agreed and meandered his way up stairs. I sat in front of the tree and looked at the presents. I saw a few with my name and a few with my dad's name and quite a few with Syaoran's name. The sight makes me smile, at the party Eriol, Mamoru and Yamazki slipped a present under the tree for him to have on Christmas, and so did my father. And after he comes down I'm going to bring my presents down. "It feels as if he's a member of the family" I whispered to my self, but was surprised when I heard a voice speak. "He's like a part of my family?" I saw Syaoran behind me. He was wearing a pair of fitting but baggy jeans, and a dark baby blue silk button up T-shirt. "Uh, no one. (I smiled) I'll be back in a minute." I ran upstairs and collected all of my presents for Syaoran except the special one, I left it in my closet. Then returned down stairs nearly falling 3 times because I can't see my hands are s full. I set my three bags of gifts on the floor and quickly disperse them around the tree. When I'm done a thought struck me "Wait!" I yell as I return upstairs, and return a few moments later with my father. We each took one present from the mound of gifts. And tell Syaoran to do the same. My father and I open the gift we chose. Syaoran just looked at us oddly. I explained to him that we all get to open up one present on Christmas Eve. "But then I won't have one for Christmas." He exclaimed. My eyes softened towards him as I approached him, I pointed my finger to the chest and looked him straight in the eyes. "Syaoran, You don't have to worry, open your present" I kissed him on the cheek causing my heart to explode and my cheeks to burn. "Besides I got you a ton of gifts alone" I whispered in his ear, and smiled brightly at him. He carefully opened his gift taking care not to rip the paper, as if it were gold. He finally finished unwrapping it was a gift from Eriol. It was a beautiful blank book, except for one page. The very first page Eriol wrote a little note.
Syaoran~
My cute little descendent, I know I may tease and torment you. But I do it out of love for you. You are after all my descendent. I have made my life perfect by opening to love and telling Tomoyo how I feel. Now we're going to plan a life together, a future. A future I can't wait to arrive. I was once as you are, afraid and to care especially to my Tomoyo. Your heart is falsely worried, Sakura cares for you deeply, and you may even be the most important thing in her life. She's depended on you in the past for protection from the card, demons, and all the other evils. But I know she needs you to protect her from herself. I know how this is eating the 2 of you up. You need each other. Don't waste time, tell her you love her.
~Eriol
I noticed he closed the book and placed it down on the couch. I asked if he wanted it put away. He gave me a weird look, then I closed my eyes and told move to out the journal in Syaoran's suitcase. And opened my eyes. He gave me an unhappy look then sat on the couch. "When are we leaving?" Syaoran asked annoyed. "In a few moments." Mr.K replied. Soon they headed out the car and were off. It was mostly silent except for the slow tunes coming from the radio. I looked at Syaoran who was staring out the window. A sad looked overtook his features. I touched his shoulders, and he flinched. So I put my hands in my lap and lay my head on the seat and was slowly rocked to sleep.
DREAM
It was an open field much like one I've seen before. It was vacant except for Syaoran and me. I felt a presence around us, in our minds but it was weak, but evil enough to take a weak hold of Syaoran. He was being so cold, and cruel to her. She tried to reach him, tried to tell him how she felt towards him but he didn't listen to a word of it. He was slowly being dragged away from her, as he slowly came back from his hypnotized state. And he miraculously got back to her and held her in his arms. "Syaoran, I thought you left again. " she whispered peacefully as she slowly returned to consciousness.
END DREAM
