THE DAY for REVENGE

3rd Part

The next day, all of them poured in the big dining hall of the hotel, except for Sakura and Syaoran...

" Where are those two?" Asked Tomoyo when she noticed that Sakura and Syaoran are not there yet.

"Probably, they're still fast asleep" answered Eriol who is seated beside Tomoyo.

Everyone already finished getting their food from the buffet table when Sakura and Syaoran arrived...

'The two of them, together?' asked Tomoyo, still confused of what is happening. All of them were more amazed and puzzled when they saw the two holding each other's hand.

The two sat across Tomoyo and Eriol, still unaware of the scandal they made.

"Ehm, are you two a couple or what?" examined Takashi.

" What are you talking about? From when it is illegal to hold a guy's hand?" defended Sakura as the cherry-faced Syaoran lowered his head.

"That's not what he means, Sakura" Chiharu added, "It's just we didn't see you like that for a long time."

"Just never mind us, right Syaoran?" Sakura said as she turns her head to Syaoran's direction. Syaoran turned to different hues of red.

"Okay..." Eriol answered. "Hey guys I just remembered, someone said the view from the rooftop of this building is really astounding at night, would you like to check it out later?"

"Sure!" everyone answered except for the bewildered Sakura and Syaoran.

*****

"Oooee! This feels relaxing! This is far more relaxing than the hot bath!" Sakura said animatedly.

The five girls are enjoying their night bath at one of the hot springs. On the other part of the springs are the three boys gloomily thinking about what the girls are doing...

"Oh Sakura, your breasts grew bigger than mine, what foods do you usually eat?" Naoko said, joking.

These words made Syaoran blush.

"Maybe they're naked and their beautiful bodies only covered by clear water..." Takashi said, gloomily, imagining what the girls really looked like, until his jaw dropped.

"Stop that Yamazaki, you're acting like a pervert!" Syaoran said, became redder than before. Eriol just laughed at the two...

*****

"Ok, to the rooftop!" Takashi commanded. "Hai!" all answered.

"Um, guys, I think I'll pass." Said Sakura. "Can I, too?" Syaoran added. Naoko approached Sakura and whispered to her, "Sakura, what are you two planning to do? Huh?"

"Nothing," Sakura answered nervously with a sweat drop

*****

Everyone left leaving Syaoran and Sakura behind.

"Sakura, let's try the park, I saw there's plenty of sturdy oak trees there."

"Let's go!"

Walking towards the park, the two held each other's hand. Time seems to go by so slow for them, enjoying every moment they're together.

At the park, they sat beneath one of the numerous oak trees lined up. They noticed they're the only people there.

Sakura heard Syaoran humming. "Hey, I know that, that song is Hero. Can you sing that for me, please..."

Syaoran couldn't refuse, especially with those thoughtful eyes Sakura possess. "Alright... Ehm..." Syaoran cleared his throat.

Would you dance, if I asked you to dance?

Would you run, and never look back?

Would you cry if you saw me crying?

Would you save my soul tonight?

Syaoran sang these words from his heart, looking intently at Sakura's peaceful face.

Would you tremble if I touched your lips?

Would you laugh, oh please tell me this?

Syaoran touched Sakura's soft, red lips that made Sakura giggle.

Syaoran took Sakura in his arms and embraced her with those lean arms. And whispered to her ears...

Now would you die, for the one you love?

Hold me in your arms tonight.

I can be you hero, baby

Syaoran kissed Sakura on her forehead.

I can kiss away the pain

I will stand by you forever

You can take my breath away.

"Oh how sweet, I envy the two of you." Said the cold voice coming from a tall yellow-haired man.

" Who are you?" Syaoran asked, standing up to guard Sakura.

"I'm your worst nightmare!" said the stranger that happened to be holding a gun pointed to Syaoran.

"Ueno!" Sakura's eyes widen and became terrified.

"Sakura, long time no see, how's my baby?" Ueno said bearing an icy voice. "Come here Sakura" said Ueno calmly, "Or I'll kill this boy!" he added sounding more like a psycho.

Sakura stood up. "Sakura, NO!" warned Syaoran. But Sakura just ignored him. She walked towards Ueno.

'Why in the earth I decided to give up my powers? I even urged Sakura to give it to Yue to look for a new Card Mistress!' Syaoran thought disappointedly.

'Please, let me use it, just for the last time.' Syaoran pleaded. 'Please!'

At that moment, a jolt of lightning shot through Syaoran's finger that immediately paralyzed Ueno. Sakura was shocked in what she saw.

"Sakura, RUN!" Syaoran shouted.

Sakura run through the path leading to the hotel, with only the silver moonlight guiding her way, and behind her is Syaoran.

Ueno stood up, recovered from that shot and instantly fired the gun aimed at Sakura.

Seeing this, Syaoran blocked the bullet and it shot through his left leg.

Hearing the thump, Sakura stopped and saw Syaoran lying on the ground.

"Syaoran!" Sakura shouted, worried about him. "RUN SAKURA, DON'T WORRY ABOUT ME!" Syaoran shouted. "But?"

"JUST RUN AWAY!"

"Sakura, you can't hide from me." Said Ueno, still sounding so cold.

Sakura ran away from the scene, watching Syaoran's image became smaller and smaller.

"Please help me! My friend's in trouble! He's been shot!" Sakura shouted even before she entered the hotel.

The guards started coming from everywhere running towards the scene.

"You stay here, we'll take care of it." Said thae guard.

*****

Sakura cries endlessly. She can't do anything. She feels so helpless.

Suddenly she heard the sound of the siren from an ambulance. She immediately stood up and ran toward the entrance and saw Syaoran lying on a stretcher.

Sakura run towards him and said, "Thank God you're okay!" while crying out tears of joy.

All their friends surround them, smiling at them and very thankful that nothing had happened bad to them.

"Sakura, I have something to tell you."

Sakura bended down, " What?"

"Told you, I can be your hero, I love you very much..." whispered Syaoran.

Sakura kissed him on his lips and answered, "And I love you, I'll wait for you..."
