Sakura Arrives Unexpectedly









It was dark out, and the storm raged on. Water fell from the sky in heavy torrents, and thunder crashed as lightening danced. Any one with half a mind was inside their homes, safe and warm. Well, almost everyone.



A girl of about seventeen was running towards and apartment building, completely drenched. She opened the building door and rushed inside and up the stairs.



Reaching the apartment door she was seeking, she knocked on it. After a few moments, a young man about her age opened the door. He seemed shocked to see her.



"Sakura, what are you doing here? In this storm? You are soaking wet!" he exclaimed.



The girl was shivering with cold, and replied with chattering teeth, "I w-was in the p-p-park when it s-started raining and y- your p-place w-was c-c-closer, Syaoran."



"Oh. Well come inside and I'll get you some dry clothes to change into. You can spend the night since you certainly aren't going outside anytime tonight with that storm going on," Syaoran told Sakura, motioning for her to enter the apartment.



"Okay. Thank you, Syaoran," she said happily, and gave him a small kiss on the lips.



He shivered as her cold lips touched his, and Sakura looked aplogetic at him until he waved her apologies away.



Syaoran walked into his bedroom and took out a shirt and sweatpants of his while Sakura took her coat off and stood in the middle of the living room, her arms wrapped around herself.



He handed her the clothing and a towel, and she walked into the bathroom. She closed the door and Syaoran went into the kitchen to make some hot cocoa.



Suddenly the bathroom door opened and Sakura walked out with the towel wrapped around herself.



"Syaoran, I don't have any underclothes and mine are all wet," she complained to him.



He turned around and nearly dropped the mug he was holding. Syaoran had never seen her with only a towel wrapped around herself.



"Well, I don't have any, of course. Why don't you put them and your clothes in the dryer and put them on when they are dry?" he told her, blushing.



She suddenly smiled, "Good idea. I am such a baka sometimes."



"You are not a baka at all, my cherry blossom," Syaoran said, chiding her for calling herself a baka.



Sakura just stuck her tongue out and flopped in one of the kitchen chairs. Syaoran gave her one of the hot cocoas and sat down in the other chair.



As they sipped their hot cocoa, Syaoran tried hard not to look at how much skin Sakura's towel left uncovered.



When Sakura caught him looking at her, she blushed and giggled.



They finished their hot cocoa, and Sakura went to go put her clothes in the dryer, while Syaoran washed the mugs they had drank their hot cocoa from.



Syaoran was humming when Sakura came up behind him and wrapped her arms around his waist. It was a good thing that he had been trained for surprises or else he would have jumped clear through the ceiling.



He turned around and saw Sakura looking at him with a mischievious glint in her eyes.



Suddenly she started tickling his sides and he started laughing. He lunged at her, but she quickly evaded his grasp and ran into the living room.



She stuck her tongue out at him as he walked towards her menacingly. She shrieked at he leapt at her again and this time he caught her.



He tickled her sides until she was doubled over, laughing so hard there were tears in her eyes. They fell and landed on the couch with a soft thud.



Sakura was panting for breath when she suddenly realized that there she was...laying on top of Syaoran...with only a towel on.



She blushed crimson and abruptly noticed Syaoran looking at her with an intense stare. He realized what he was doing and all of a sudden looked away, blushing.



...and Sakura realized something surprising...she actually liked being there.



On impulse she leaned closer and kissed Syaoran. Even though it was a feathery light kiss, a shiver ran through Syaoran.



He looked at her, a question in his eyes. She answered by kissing him again...harder than before.



"Are you sure you're ready?" he asked her after they broke away from the kiss.



"Yes, I'm really sure. I love you, and want to be as close to you as I can get," Sakura whispered back.



Hesitantly, Syaoran lifted her up off the couch and carried her into his bedroom. He deposited her on the bed, and sat down beside her.



"You know, Touya will be furious if he finds out," Syaoran whispered.



She stuck her tongue out and said, "I don't care about Touya or anyone except you right now."



With that, Sakura pulled him down on top of her. For a moment they just stared in each other's eyes, lost in their shining colors.



Then, they started discovering a whole new world...





~~~

Kero suddenly jerked up from where he was sleeping in Sakura's room. He felt a strange pulsing of magic coming from the gaki's apartment.



Instantly he flew out the window and sped over to the gaki's apartment. He looked through the window into the room and groaned.



It was just as he had feared. Sakura and Syaoran lay in each others arms, asleep after exhausting themselves in their newfound discoveries only a short while before.



Sighing, Kero flew back to Sakura's room. He settled in his drawer, and before falling asleep, he thought for a while.



Having Sakura join together with the gaki meant more than just the normal joining. Since Sakura and Syaoran were soulmates, that meant that they were joined more deeply than anyone else.



Their magic meshed together, their minds molded together, they became complete. And if they were torn apart from each other, they would feel pain and suffering like never felt before, and finally die.



They would now feel each other's pain, hear each others thoughts unless a barrier was erected, and be able to draw strength from each other.



Oh well, at least the gaki would always stand by Sakura, not letting her get in harm's way, Kero mused silently.



And slowly the Guardian fell in sleep...



~~~

Yukito suddenly woke up from where he lay in Touya's arms, and transformed into Yue. A felt a strange power pulsing from Syaoran's apartments.



And he felt it...the joining of soulmates...of Kinomoto Sakura and Li Syaoran.



Touya stirred awake, and Yue transformed back into Yukito, with the pleasant thought that now Sakura would be complete and be even more protected.

"Why are you awake, Yuki?" Touya mumbled.



"Shhh, my To-ya. I just had a dream, that's all. Go back to sleep," Yukito whispered, settling back again.



Touya didn't ask anything else, and his breathing slowed as he drifted into the oblivion of sleep...
