Inori-chan's words: this is mainly from Li's point of view, R&R and tell me if you want me to continue on the story. I can actually include some action, maybe!
More to come!
Li stepped back, a tender blush sweeping across his face. The woman he saw, floating above the pond, was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen. Of course he wouldn't admit it to anyone any time soon, and luckily for him Sakura was in such a trance that she didn't notice anything.
He watched as Sakura took a tentative step forward, bringing her closer to the shore. She was in such a trance that she didn't even notice as her feet stepped into the water, subconsciously answering the woman's call. Sakura stepped farther and farther into the pond, edging closer to the woman. When she was only a few steps away, Li saw Sakura begin to cry, sparkling tears caressing her cheek. She quickly closed the gap between her and the woman and lurched forward, jumping into her open arms. The woman took Sakura in her arms, bringing Sakura up to meet her floating figure, whispering condolences in her ear.
"I am here for you now, Sakura-chan," Li heard the woman say,
"I am Inori. I am here to protect you." She continued, glancing up at Li, who was still standing at the shore, giving a small smile and a wink.
Li quickly turned away, the blush returning to warm his cheeks. He pretended to be more interested in the bushes than the occurrences only feet away, until his cheeks turned back to their normal colour.
When he turned back, Sakura was knee-deep in the water, tears still falling, out of her trance. The woman was not there, however. She must have gone after showing herself to Sakura, he thought to himself. To his surprise, she appeared right beside Li, who jumped when she appeared. Calming himself, he did not look at the woman, but instead paid attention to Sakura, who had now turned to face him. Listening to what the woman said, Li showed no emotion.
"Hello, Li. It is nice to finally meet you." Inori paused, waiting for a reaction, but when she did not get one, she continued on, "You may know me from your teachings, but I highly doubt your guardian, Way said anything about me to you. I am Inori, the Angel of Protection. I possess the powers of Fire and Healing and was created by Clow Reid's magic. He brought me to life when he was told you two may need some help and guidance along the way." She gave a smile, and continued on.
"Sakura thought she had recognized this place because I had given her a dream in which she was running to find me. I think she was expecting me, though she wasn't too sure what her dream meant. She is happy to finally see me and I am happy to see you both. I will help you, but remember that this is your own destiny and you must be the ones who experience it, without me telling you everything. True, you do have other help, but I will only appear when you desperately need me, or when Sakura calls me. I am her Guardian Spirit and I shall remain forever at her beckon and call. You see, our destinies were intertwined long ago and only now are they being followed through." She stopped her introduction to listen to the question forming Li's lips.
"We-y-y knows about you?"
A mischevious grin crept up her face, her eyes sparkling. "Yes, that is right. But I will explain later." Stopping her answer abruptly, she turned towards Sakura and called,
"Hey Sakura-chan, you realize you can come out of the water now," with as much admiration in her voice has a mother would have. She smiled again and gave a slight chuckle.
Sakura wiped the remaining tears from her eyes and ran out of the pond, towards Li and her guardian spirit. She noticed Li had a rather flabbergasted look plastered on his face and guessed that Inori had given him the same introduction as she had given her.
Together, the three of them made there way out of the forest, the magic pull no longer there. Li and Sakura parted at the end of the forest and Inori and Sakura walked home.
That night Sakura slept soundly with a smile on her face, glad to have a female influence finally in her life. She missed her mother dearly, and Inori reminded her so much of her mother it was scary.
The next year passed quickly for Sakura, Li and Inori. They had the same magical occurrences happening almost every other day and they all managed to get through. Inori did as she said and only helped Sakura and Li when necessary. By this time a slight attraction, more than friendship, had taken place between Li and Sakura, but neither of them knew exactly how to deal with it yet.
One night, Sakura and Li found themselves back in the forest, in the same clearing where they had met Inori. The moon was full and the sky was clear. In fact, the view reminded Sakura of her dream, which she had never forgotten. They were standing in front of the pond, looking at the two white birds that always seemed to be on the sidelines of the shore. Inori appeared, floating above the pond, her dress billowing in the fake wind, silver tears coursing down her cheeks.
The two gasped, for Inori's form had changed. Sprouting magestically from her pale back was a wonderful pair of wings of the purest white, folded behind her back. This time both Sakura and Li fell under a trance, and unconsciously their hands met and clung. She floated there, telling each a different story telepathically. As she spoke, Sakura and Li drew closer to each other, until they embraced and both had tears flowing down their cheeks.
I'm sorry, she told Sakura, urgent matters call me away from your side. My Sakura-chan, please understand. An evil force has come that I must battle. Good luck and remember, I will always be there for you when you call. Oyasuminasai, Sakura-chan.
Inori floated closer and put her right hand over her lips. She blew them both a kiss, red fire flies coming from her hand and floating around their heads. Inori drew back to the middle of the pond, closed her eyes and threw out her arms. She flung her head back and faced it to the skies, tears still flowing. After a few moments, a cylinder of light descended from the skies and enveloped her in its horrible beauty. When it retreated, it took Inori with it.
Li and Sakura stood there in each other's embrace, each silently saying good-bye to the friend they had just lost, but not for good.
Was it reality?
Or was it just a dream?
You tell me.
Inori-chan's words: OK, so Wey is Li's cousin and lives with Li in their apartment. Sorry, but I don't know his japanese equivalent name or any other name given to him. Wey is kinda butlery and has got grey hair.
Oyasuminasai is japanese for "good-night". I was going to have her say "good-bye" in japanese, which would be sayonara, but I thought oyasuminasai sounds more elegant, and she's not going for good, anyways! I left it open for continuation if I get enough responses!
