Syaoran and Sakura
'Star cross'd lovers take their life'
Chii-chan- Well this was sort of my time out story, because I have been having writer's block and no time to write the In Darkness fic. But somehow I'm writing this at the top of my head, so if anything gets confusing I apologize and ask me about it. Anyway here's the second chapter. Enjoy! ^ - ^
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
****** Sakura was running for dear life. A man was following her with a gun and he didn't look like he was after anyone else but her. Yet why her? As she turned the corner she saw Syaoran standing there. There she ran, into his arms. Hoping all of this would be over. But they didn't move and the man had caught up with Sakura and held his gun facing them both. The man slowly pulled the trigger and she screamed. ****
Sakura woke up in the middle of the night. Her dream was so vivid. The man knew of Syaoran and her and he wanted her dead. Could it mean that someone was sent out by the elders? Sakura kept replaying the image in her head.
"I need to get a drink of water." She got up from her bed and saw the moon was still there with the stars. Just looking at the scenery and felt sadness yet happiness at the same time.
"I have to go over to Tomoyo's house tomorrow. I have to sneak out of here."
~*~*~ Next Day ~*~*~
Touya yelled from downstairs.
"Sakura I need to go to work, I'm leaving you here with the alarm on."
"How will I talk to Tomoyo then?"
"Uh well have you ever heard of an invention called the 'telephone'?"
Sakura sweatdropped.
After she heard her brother's car leave the driveway, she called Tomoyo.
"Ok I'm coming over now."
"He left you with the alarm again didn't her?"
"Ever since he didn't let me see Syaoran. He thinks he will come over or that I will leave."
"What if you leave through the windows?"
" I know but he has somehow blocked the windows downstairs and he thinks that there isn't any use to block the upstairs windows because well they are two stories high and I will never get out form there."
"Haha, but he forgot about the tree next to your room."
"That baka, but hey his baka-ness (not a real word, I know) is a benefit for me."
"Ok I'll see you later Sakura and be careful."
"Bye."
She ran into her room and opened the window. She climbed down the tree and off she went to Tomoyo's house.
After walking a few minutes she started to get this eerie feeling. The image in her dream popped into her head and now she stopped, to look at her surroundings. Then as if on cue she saw what she was hoping wasn't there, A shadow of a man from around the corner. Yet what if it wasn't the man she thought it was?
Anyway she wasn't going to risk it so she started to speed walk. And to her horrid surprise, she heard someone following her. His footsteps keeping up with hers.
She looked over her shoulder and there he was. The person she saw in her dreams. The same man pursuing her with a gun. Her heart started to jump and beat faster. Her mind was not in control, she didn't know what to do. A thought came to her. She had to run to Tomoyo's house, it was only a few blocks away and she could try to manage to miss any bullets coming at her.
She ran for dear life. Then she rounded the corner and ran up to the gates of Tomoyo's mansion. She forgot that the gates were locked and that she would have to wait for someone to open them for her.
She looked up and saw the man turn the corner. Now she was hyperventilating. She felt her heart stop and tears were forming. The man smiled to himself and raised his gun towards Sakura.
The dream was for real. Except Syaoran wasn't here.
The man began to pull in his finger to shoot. Sakura waited. There was nothing she could do but close her eyes and wait for the bullet to pierce her heart.
After few seconds she heard nothing of a gun but a sudden scream of pain and something falling on the floor. She opened her eyes and that Syaoran was standing there with his sword. He had slashed the arm of the man and he had dropped the gun.
"Sakura, quick get inside."
"But you'll be.."
"I'll be fine. I'm going to meet you tonight at your house."
"Fine, I'll see you. But I don't want to leave you alone with him."
"It'll be ok, I need to take care of this."
"But Syaoran."
He picked up the man and left quickly with just that.
Tomoyo came running out.
"Sakura! Are you alright?"
"I think I am unless the man killed me and I'm a ghost."
"NO, I'm here and he didn't kill you."
"That was fast. I thought something happened. As if I died instantly."
"But you didn't die and something did happened but your "Romeo" saved you. Haha."
"Tomoyo."
"Well let's change the subject. You came here to tell me something. What is it?"
"A bit late for that now. It happened. The dream was real. Oh the horror, what else will happen tonight that will determine my destiny?"
"I'll walk you home."
"Arigatou. I don't get it. I just want to lie down on my bed and not open my eyes until everything turns out right."
"Who knows? Maybe things will change. You can't expect the world to be like this day in and day out. Thing happen and we must accept it. Sometimes it is worse and sometimes it can be for the best. Maybe you and Syaoran can finally end up together with no one in the way."
Sakura smiled.
"I hope so. Well let's get home before Touya comes."
~*~*~ Syaoran's House ~*~*~
Syaoran was in his living room with the man who had tried to kill Sakura.
"Gene, do you have to follow the Elders' rule. I thought you were a good friend."
"Syaoran, I have to do what the Elders say. Besides how can you fall in love with her?"
"I love her and I don't want you to get in the way."
"I'm sorry I can't do that. The elders have forbidden it. I wouldn't kill her if I was an elder. But this is real life and she has gotten in the way. Ours and yours."
"She has never gotten in the way, and definitely not in mine!"
"Look at you, you spend your time with her instead of taking care of your clan."
"I can't be alone the rest of my life, and I love her. How many times do I have to tell you Gene?"
"Can I have something to drink, all this ranting is hurting my throat."
Syaoran tightened his fist. But had an idea.
"Sure why not. Um, I should go into my room first to check if any letters have been left there by any old men."
"Eh, I doubt it. Yet there could be one for me stating why didn't I complete the task."
Syaoran walked into his room and over to his night table. He took out a small key and opened the box. Inside were the dagger and the small vile with the clear liquid inside. He took out vile and put it in his pocket.
"Gene, is there anything you would like to drink?"
"Um maybe some water so I can drink it fast and leave immediately to go finish my mission."
Syaoran poured the water into a mug and poured the clear liquid into it and stirred it. 'I don't want to exactly do this but I need to save Sakura. I know I'm not the kind to kill people but this is serious.' He thought.
"Here you go."
"Well" He drank the water and placed the mug down.
"There all gone and so will I be in a minute."
'How ironic' Syaoran thought.
"I'm sorry."
"For what?"
"Oh nothing, I'm just talking to myself. Oh and by the way the elders ask to see you."
"Oh then I shall be going. I should use my magic to get there fast or else I'll die if I'm late."
"Just leave."
"Bye"
"Farewell"
Once Gene left, Syaoran dropped the vile into the garbage. He had to meet up with Sakura.
It was already 8pm. It had been a long day and there were many brawls.
"I just want all of this to end."
~*~*~ Sakura's house ~*~*~
"Sakura, have you seen my ring?"
"Which one out of all of them?" - _ -;;
"The one that sort of matched your necklace."
"The one I gave to Syaoran?"
"Wasn't that the one with the moon and stars?"
"Yeah"
"Well then have you seen it?"
"Yeah its right here. Look." She put her hand in front of Tomoyo's face.
"oh ok, I was worried I lost it. Keep it on though. Actually Keep it if you like. That way Syaoran and you have something that looks the same."
"Yeah he should be here any minute."
She went over to unlock her window so that way he would enter right away. She looked up at the dark night. The stars were shining bright and the moon was full. It looked like the ring only that the moon was a crescent. This scenery made her feel happy and sad for some strange reason.
AN: Ok I'm going to manipulate time here. In the next chapter, Touya will be the main character. It'll be like a flashback. Where he remembers when one of the warriors/agent from the Li Clan went out to murder their father. That's next chapter. Then the ending might be in CH. 4.
