Ch12

'It's Christmas, declaration of love interrupted'

When I wake up I realize I'm on the floor of my room. I look around trying to see if anyone else is in my room. I looked around me and noticed a lot of blood on the floor around my arm and leg where Syaoran accidentally cut me. I tried to raise my body on my arms but it wasn't going to happen pain racked my body hard. I cried out in pain. But I got through the pain and weakly got to my feet. And worked my way out in the hall. "Dad! Syaoran! Where are you guys?" I yelled nervously. I got worried when I heard no reply. And despite the pain and limping ran down stairs, I fell but luckily I was on the last 2 steps. I thudded to the ground when I someone coming from somewhere. I again got to my feet and started calling for Syaoran. I knew I may not have hurt him as bad as he hurt me but I got him a few times. "Syaoran, Syaoran!" I yelled. I heard a grown that sounded like someone waking up on the living room couch. I carefully walked in and saw Syaoran on the couch. He had just started to wake up. 'He's so handsome. Man I've gotta push these thoughts out of my mind.' I thought to myself. He wasn't fully awake yet so I went in the kitchen and grabbed a bunch of towels. And quietly made my way upstairs.

It took me forever to get, but I finally made it up stairs. I just put the towels down first to let them sop up the blood. I grabbed a pair of Touya's PJ bottoms that I stole, and a big white T-shirt that was on the extra bed. I grabbed the clothing and practically had to crawl down stairs to the bathroom. I finally got in the bathroom, I felt a little pain on my back so I turned around to try to look, I don't know if it was from Yoko, or Syaoran but I had a huge slash mark on my back and it was bleeding. I sat on the toilet seat and started to call for Syaoran but he either didn't hear me or was asleep. I yelled louder "SYAORAN!" Still nothing, I closed my eyes and concentrated. 'Can a card that I can support please wake up Syaoran.' I felt rain go out and hunt for it's target I thanked it. Not to long after I heard what sounded like Syaoran yell in surprise. I called "Syaoran" I heard him coming. "Did you ask for me Sakura?" he asked with a shy tone. That made me blush. Yes you can come in I need your help with some things. The door opened to reveal a red faced Syaoran till he looked at me and saw the blood that had colored my skin. He was quickly at my side. "Do you remember what happened?" I asked him curiously. He nodded his head. "Everything" I questioned. His eyes lowered and he nodded his head again.

"It wasn't your fault you didn't have any control over your actions, you were under Yoko's control." I told him, his frown deepened. He got a cloth and washed my back getting the blood off and making sure it was all cleaned out. He put a huge bandage over it. He then carefully took my arm. "I can do my arm and leg." I protested. He gave me a sad look "It's the least I can do, I did it to you after all." I looked away; I didn't want him to feel bad. He cleaned my arm, and inspected it to see how bad it was. "What's that look for?" "This cut on your arms is pretty bad. It's to the bone up by your shoulder but still very deep as it goes down till about your elbow." He took some cotton and set it over the gash, then wrapped bandages around it. Then he removed her sock and cleaned the cut mark; this one wasn't as bad. Then he wrapped it and he left so I could change into my PJ's. I had a little limp but it wasn't as bad as when I came down the stairs. I looked at my self that I wasn't wearing one of my shirts. I slowly walk out of the bathroom and I asked him if it was ok that I accidentally grabbed one of his shirts. He just nodded his head. His cheeks turned a light shade of pink, so I asked him if he was alright. He said he was fine.

I limped into the kitchen and he followed closely behind. I grabbed an apron from the corner and put it on. "Do you want to help me make breakfast?" he just nodded his head. I told him he could make the eggs. He got the eggs and peppers and chopped the peppers and mixed the eggs, and blended it all together. I made the pancake batter and made the cute shaped pancakes, And Syaoran, made the omelets. I also made some red and green French toast. When it was all cooked. We put it set it up on the, then I started to go get my father. But then I remembered. I went back in the dining room and gave Syaoran a hug and wished him a MERRY Christmas. He smiled at me and wished me a merry Christmas too. I headed up stairs and woke up my dad, and we quickly returned down stairs to an anxious Syaoran.

Syaoran: Good morning Mr. K

Mr. K: Morning Syaoran Did you guys have fun last night? (He asked innocently.)

Sakura: Are you kidding???

Syaoran: You know don't you? (He asked curiously)

Mr. K: Yes I do. Sakura you did an excellent job.

Sakura: Thanks

Syaoran: But how? I used the time card to freeze the moment. (He asked himself out loud)

Mr. K: You are not as strong as my daughter, plus you were under someone's control so your use of the cards didn't have an affect me. (He answered coyly)

Syaoran: (gave him a confused look then, the image of the column popped into his head.) You and Eriol???

Mr. K: I think he's finally figured it out.

Sakura: That's why Eriol calls me his cute little daughter, like he calls you cute little descendent.

Mr. K: The 2 of us are a different part of your ancestor Clow Reed. So he's like Sakura's half father. (He laughed.)

Syaoran: That's why she's so strong, She's the daughter of Clow Reed in a way.

I blushed at his kind words. We finished our breakfast, and put out dishes in the sink. And went into the living room and sat by the tree.

'Sakura's gifts'

"I wanna pass out the presents." I yelled as I sat on my chair. I grabbed a bunch of presents and put them in front Dad, Syaoran, and myself. I saw Syaoran's eyes go wide as I put all those presents in front of him. Let's start with this. I open my gifts; I got clothes, jewelry and some other cool stuff from my dad. Syaoran had gotten me a beautiful headband, Walkman, a pair of those sneakers that have roller blade wheels that pop out, Some candles. I blushed at all the gifts that he'd gotten me.

'Syaoran's gifts'

I had gotten him a few shirts I thought he'd look nice in, a new pair of sneakers, 2 zip up sweatshirts with hoods, one in black one in dark green, and a scarf I had attempted to make. My dad had gotten him Playstation, and some intellectual, fun, and thinking games. And a picture that has somehow occurred, (Sakura, and Syaoran were next to each other after the judgement, and Clow was behind the air looking at them adoringly, as well as Yue.) it was in a delicately decorated frame. It had a sakura on one side with a moon above it and a little lone wolf on the other side howling.

Sakura'

I stood up and looked at him, I was so nervous I almost fell over. "'I told myself no matter what I'd tell him how I feel for him on Christmas, I have to do it, I have to do it'" I kept chanting in my head. "Syaoran, will you come with me up to my room, there's one more thing I got for you, and I would like to talk to you" I managed to spit out as I turned 10 shades of red. He looked at me a little puzzled. "Ah sure, I guess" "Not the most encouraging words" I scolded in my head. We continued up to my room throwing each other awkward looks from time to time. It was only a 2-second walk. But it seemed like a year in the silence. Finally we got into my room. He sat down on my bed and I just stood there for a moment looking at his face now blushing the same as mine. My face lit up as I remembered his gift. I went over to the closet and searched for his gift. But I remembered I had float put it way in the back. I tried to get up on my tiptoes and see if I could see it. I wanted to try to conserve as much energy as possible. But getting on my tiptoes wasn't such a good idea. I nearly fell I heard Syaoran move to my side but when I caught my own balance he sighed and sat back down. I held out my hands and asked float to bring me the present. It soon after appeared in my hands. I turned to look at Syaoran he was staring at me and fidgeting uncomfortable. I put the gift on his lap and he started to open it but I quickly stopped him. "Wait" I kind of yelled. He looked up at me with an odd expression. "I- I- I want to tell you something." "Yes" he encouraged with a shy smile that made me melt. "When you first moved here in 4th grade we had so many similar goals The cards, Yuki, so I guess you were kind of like my rival, even though I never took it seriously, I've always just enjoyed getting to learn from you. And when we actually became friends I was so happy, because you respected me the way I've always respected you." I had to pause and sniffle, and wipe the tears that were forming away. Then I quickly continued as I stared into his warm eyes. I didn't realize it but while I talking he took my hand and was just holding it so tenderly. "It took a long time for you to like me I know that, you're a descendent of Clow Reed himself, you've been trained in magic probably since birth. I see why I wouldn't measure up" Syaoran tried to say something but I put my finger over his lips stopping him and continuing. "When we were little I used to like you so much but you were with Meiling (He winced as if in pain at the name) and she was your fiancée." He loosened his grip on my hand, so I tightened mine and finished. "Syaoran, I'm just going to get to the point, ever since I first saw you in 4th grade as much as you tortured me, picked on me, and were so cold to me. I-I'velovedyou!" I blurted out finally. Felling that my face was probably showing fire. His hand went limp, and he didn't say anything. I felt like crying, what I had feared his rejection was what I received. My eyes were squinted shut when I felt a soft touch on my cheek, my eyes shot open. "Can I open your present?" he asked nervously. I just nodded sadly as I wiped the tears away, even though it was pointless because they just kept returning. He slowly tore open the paper. And saw a nice clean white box with Chinese calligraphy on it. He opened the box and was shocked at what he saw. He carefully took the sword out and looked at it. His eyes sparkled, it was a beautifully decorated Sword case, with 2 symbols which meant it belonged to the Li-clan. He pulled the blade from its case and saw it was a very sharp and well-maintained edge, with an elaborate design engraved on it. It was polished and sharpened. And the handle was a very comfortable leather, he looked at it from all angles it was truly an excellent sword. He put it back into the elaborate case and carefully placed it on her bed. He slowly approached me as if to see if I was real? He stood there and stared into my teary eyes for a long moment. Until he walked over to his suitcase quickly as if trying not to fall, and opened it pulling out a box.

He approached me slowly. It was killing me to watch him, his face seemed to hold a small smile but he hadn't said a word. "Here" was all he said as he placed the box in my hands. I started to open but he stopped me much like I did him.

Syaoran'

My mind was in shock reveling in what she had just said. 'Sh- she loves me' the thought kept playing through my mind. I got my wits together and quickly went and got my present out of my suitcase. "Here" I said to her as I put it in her hand. She started to open it but I stopped her, much as she did me earlier. I looked into her eyes and took a deep reassuring breath to call upon my strength. And I finally spoke. A million words running through my head, a thousand different thoughts on what I could say at this moment. "I've never hated you." I noticed her quirk a small smile before I continued. "You're so sweet, nice, kind, funny, energetic, and cute, who wouldn't help but love you." I realized the tone of my voice was a little foreboding. And I saw the sweet smile dim. "Why can't I form a sentence when she's around." I scolded myself. "When I first came here we were after the same thing. But I soon realized that you were meant to have them, not me. And even though I never showed it I was so proud of the way you handled every situation. And unfortunately I was engaged to my cousin, Meiling. 'Speaking that name brings a cringe to my spine, still even though were friends now' I thought to myself. I've never loved her as more than a friend, and when we were young not even that, she was so clingy, and annoying." "Sounds like Mei" she said kind of jokingly. "Please don't talk about her." I begged. "When we eventually became friends I was so happy, we were already do close. But then something happened that made me suddenly become cold like I did." I watched her intently her attention never wavered. "What?" she asked in a worried tone.

I had to look away for a moment or I would never be able to tell her. "At the end of last school year, I- I started to fall in love with someone who's very important to me. We've been friends for many years, and were close. I didn't want to ruin our friendship so I held it all in and never let anyone know, but in doing so I stopped talking to my friends worried that I may say or do something, because I didn't accept that I loved someone. But then when I finally did I was so happy. But I still didn't have the courage to tell her till now." I looked and saw the puzzled look on her face and sighed, she was beautiful and sweet but she was so naïve, "but that was something I loved about her." I whispered to myself. "Do you know what I'm saying?" I asked her. She nodded her head; "You love someone. And you're going to tell them soon. I'm happy for you." I saw tears welling up in her beautiful emerald eyes.

I wiped away the tear that threatened her beautiful cheek. "Sakura" I paused for a moment. "Open your gift" she looked at me and hesitantly opened the box. I saw her eyes widen. "Is this for…" I quickly answered her unfinished question. "Yes, Sakura the person I love that I wanted to admit it to is right here, You're the one I love Sakura." She blinked at me blankly.

Sakura'

I just kind of watched him as he told me about his feelings for someone that he's loved since last year. I felt a pang of jealousy, I mean I just told him I loved him and he was telling me he loved someone else. He asked me if I understood what he was saying. "I said yes you love someone and you're gonna tell them. I was happy for him," at least that's what I told myself. I couldn't help it a tear escaped but I managed to hold the others back. He wiped it away and told me to open my gift.

My eyes widened when I saw, "Is this for…" he said yes before I finished. It was beautiful it was a beautiful gold chain with the most elegant locket on it was rather large but beautiful, it had a scene etched in the gold. It was a large cherry blossom with a wolf sitting next to it. And little hearts decorated the edge of the locket, and the little clasp that held it closed was shaped like my star locket. What he told me next took my breath away. "Sakura, the person I love that I wanted to admit it to is right here, you're the one I love." My heart almost exploded. I looked at him, with a blank look my brain was trying to understand what my heart cherished. "He loves me too." I kept saying inwardly.

I noticed his eyes dimmed a little, as I stayed silent. "Would you put it on me?" I asked. His attention turned back on me. He took the box from me then took out the locket. He unclasped it then I turned it around and he put it over my head, when it passed my face I noticed something on the back of it, he put it on me then I went to look in the mirror. It's beautiful. I gave him a quick hug and felt my cheeks light up like a Christmas tree. I looked into his feeling a little braver. "Syaoran, I have one more thing." He quirked a smile at me. I opened a drawer to my dresser and took out a small box. I opened it while my back was to him. It was a long silver chain with a ring on it. I closed it in my hands then turned to him placing my hands behind me. Pick a hand. He sighed then came close to me. He kissed me on the cheek then chose my right hand; it pulled it out revealing the chain and ring.

"I know you don't like to wear rings so I put it on a chain." I blushed. He took it and looked at it closely. It was a flat golden band, with writing on it and there was a small space where there wasn't any writing but there was a stone. It was half-green and half-light pink where the colors met in the middle it was a pale gold almost white color. The writing read [You are close to my heart no matter where you are.] And on the underside it read [I love You always, Sakura] I actually saw tears in his eyes. I looked at him with slight worry. He looked up at me startling me. He put my necklace around his neck. And smiled at me.

We stood there for a moment, till the phone rang. I wished a curse on who ever was on the other line.
