Chapter Five
Syaoran was sitting outside, under a cherry tree. He sighed as the wind blew his brown hair. Suddenly, he felt a hand on his shoulder.
"Hey, Syaoran," his cousin said.
He sighed.
"I'm sorry," Meiling said. "You thought I was Sakura, didn't you. Or did you think I was Tomoyo?"
Syaoran glared at her.
"What's been on your mind?" she asked, sitting next to him.
"Nothing much," he replied, looking away.
"You can't lie to me, Syaoran. I know something is wrong."
Syaoran kept his mouth shut.
"Please tell me!" Meiling pleaded.
"Ok...ok...fine." Syaoran looked around, to make sure no one was listening. "But don't tell anyone ok?"
"Fine." Meiling replied. "Spill."
"I've been...having this dream..." He told Meiling about the dream he had. "It's almost the same dream as what Sakura's been having."
Meiling stared at Syaoran.
"And it's almost the same thing as what's going on here. The person I was in that dream, was having an arranged marriage, and here I am, getting an arranged marriage. It's weird... And there was something about a girl being murdered..." He closed his eyes.
"Um...Syaoran?" Meiling asked.
"Yeah?"
"Who were you in that dream?"
"My mother, at least I think she was, in the dream, called me Clow..."
"And...what was the girl's name?"
Syaoran opened his eyes. "Her name was..." he thought back and closed his eyes again. "Sakuya..." He got up and walked away.
"Sakuya?" Meiling said to herself... = Are Syaoran and Sakura having linked dreams? =
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sakura walked out of her bathroom with a towel wrapped around her. "What a day!" She dried her hair, threw on a pink bath robe, and put on fuzzy pink slippers. As Sakura quietly made her way downstairs, she heard Syaoran's mother talking. = Who is she speaking to? =
"Syaoran, I think Tomoyo would make a perfect bride. You two seem to be hanging out a lot, too."
= No way! I better tell Tomoyo! How exciting! = Sakura quickly left for Tomoyo's room.
"I'm don't think I want to marry Tomoyo, Mother. I mean...I..."
Sakura ran upstairs and found Meiling and Tomoyo sitting in Meiling's room.
"Guess what, Tomoyo!" Sakura began excitedly. "Syaoran's mom is considering you to be Syaoran's wife!!!"
"Really?!" Tomoyo exclaimed happily.
"Yeah! But don't tell them anything. I sort of overheard." Sakura looked up and saw that Meiling was about to leave the room. "Where are you going, Meiling?"
"Nowhere in particular," she said as she excited the room.
Tomoyo began to panic. "Do you think she still likes Syaoran?"
"Don't know."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Aunty?" Meiling asked.
"Hai?"
"It's about Syaoran getting married to Tomoyo. You see...I think I figured something out....it's very important..."
"Yes, go on..." Yelan replied thoughtfully.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The kid (boy) sat in a tree and saw Clow and Sakuya walking towards the tree he was sitting on. He hid behind some branches and leaves. Clow and Sakuya sat right underneath the branch he was hiding on. He tried to move closer to hear what they were saying. Suddenly, a berry fell out of his pocket.
= Oh no! I was going to give that to Sakuya... =
"Ow..." Clow said, rubbing the part where the thing had hit. He looked around and saw that it was a pink and green wishing berry. He picked it up and handed it to the girl. "Here, for you."
"Arigato," she said. "But what is it?"
The kid quietly climbed down the tree and ran to the guards who seemed to be searching for something or someone. = That berry, I was going to give it to Sakuya, but that idiot gave it to her! I'm going to make him suffer for that. =
"Guards!" he called out. "What are you looking for?"
"We must find Master Reed. Queen Reed wanted to speak to him."
"I know where he is," the kid said slyly. He quickly told them and the guards ran to where they were sitting. He followed behind and arrived to see Sakuya being stabbed by the guards. = No! They killed her! =
The Chief Guard approached him, who had been watching the whole scene. "We have your reward, kid."
"I don't want your damn reward! You killed her!"
The Chief grinned. "This is your reward for murder, because you have been charged with killing a peasant." He drew out his sword and stabbed the boy.
The boy gasped for air as the guard walked away.
"Damn you, Clow Reed. I will have my revenge. She is mine!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The kid woke up. "Ahh! Not again! When will it end?? Sakuya!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sakura was swinging on the swing again. She looked up at the night sky. The stars seemed fuzzy and blurry. =Something doesn't feel right. Why do I feel so dizzy?= She closed her eyes and started to fall backwards out of the swing.
"Sakura!" Syaoran yelled as he caught her right before she hit the ground. Sakura opened her eyes. "We've got to stop meeting like this."
"Hey," she said weakly. "Why are you up? It's almost midnight."
"I saw you walking out here. Why are you up?"
"I...couldn't sleep." Sakura sat on the swing again.
"Why not?" Syaoran asked, sitting on the swing next to her. "Is it those dreams?"
Sakura nodded, looking at the stars.
They sat quietly for a while.
"We should go in," Syaoran said, breaking the silence.
"Don't worry about me." Sakura said.
"You could catch a cold."
"I'm all right."
"Okay then. You asked for it." Syaoran took her hand and began to drag her towards the house.
"Hey! Let go of me," Sakura said, laughing.
"You should've listened to me before," Syaoran said, still walking.
"I'll scream!" Sakura threatened.
"Go ahead. Wake everyone up."
"Let go!" Sakura whispered.
They finally reached the door and walked inside.
"There, we're in," Syaoran said. He blushed when he realized he was still holding onto her hand. "Oh, sorry about that."
"Say..."
"What, Sakura?" = God, I love saying her name. =
"Do you like Tomoyo?"
= Huh? = "W...what makes you say that?"
"Well you're always blushing around her."
"I..I do not!"
"Uh-huh, sure..." Sakura said sarcastically. She smiled.
"No, really- "
"You know... I think you two make a cute couple." Sakura smiled again and went to her room.
"..."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Sakuya! Wait up!" Megumi called.
"Oh...hi..." Sakuya said. She was on her way to Clow's house, reaching the front gate.
"Stay away from Clow," Megumi said to Sakura.
"Why? You can't tell me what to do."
"No, he's um...sick."
"Oops. Sorry" = I guess I got carried away...=
"No problem," Megumi said.
"Hey Megumi. Hi Sakuya!" Kazan said, catching up to them.
"What's up, Kazan?" Megumi asked.
"Nothing much."
"Well, what do you guys want to do then?" Sakuya asked. = Is it just me or are they being nice? =
"Let's go shopping," Kazan suggested.
"Well, I'd love to come," Megumi began, but I'm going to uh...go home. She winked at Kazan.
"O-okay," Sakuya said. "But let me talk to Clow..."
"Well..uhh...Clow said he was tired and not to bother him," Megumi quickly answered.
"How do you know all this?" Sakura asked, getting suspicious.
"I called him this morning."
"Oh, okay."
"Let's go, Sakuya," Kazan said, taking her hand.
The two of them walked off as Megumi watched them leave. = Yes, now I have Clow all to myself! = Megumi knocked on the door.
The door opened slightly. "Ah. It's you Mistress Megumi. Please, come in." The butler opened the door all the way.
"Will you tell Clow I'm here?"
"Yes, madam." The butler went upstairs to where Clow was looking out the window. He saw everything that happened with Sakuya and Kazan, but couldn't hear what they were saying. "Master. Megumi is here to see you."
"Huh? Oh, okay." He made is way downstairs. = Maybe I can ask Megumi what happened. =
"Hey Clow," Megumi greeted, hugging him.
"Hey," he responded, but didn't hug her back.
"So um....where are Sakuya and Kazan?"
"Well Sakuya was coming, but when she saw Kazan, she said that Kazan and her would go shopping. So I came."
"Oh." Clow looked troubled. = She wouldn't even say hi? =
"Well... I think they like each other. Don't you think they make a cute couple?"
= What? Sakuya and Kazan? No... =
"Well?" Megumi asked impatiently.
"Huh? Yeah..." = But I thought... =
"Are you ok?"
"I'm ok, I guess..." = She didn't even say 'Hi' or tell me where she was going... Maybe Megumi is right... =
"Good. So, what do you want to do?"
"You know what? I think I'm feeling kind of sick. I'm going up to my room."
"Are you sure? Do you want me to come up with you?"
"No!" Clow shouted.
Megumi stepped back.
"No, I'm sorry. I...I just want to be alone right now..." Clow walked upstairs to his room and collapsed on the bed. = Sakuya... =
Megumi frowned. = Sakuya...you will never have Clow. =
A few hours later, Sakuya came over to Clow's mansion. She knocked on the door, and the butler came out. "Yes?" he asked.
"May I see Clow please?" she asked politely.
"I'm sorry but he's not feeling well right now..."
"Can I come in anyways? I just want to tell Clow that I hope he gets better soon..."
"Well, alright. After all, you two seem to be good friends." The butler opened the door and let Sakuya in.
Sakuya found her way to Clow's room and knocked on the door. "Clow?" she asked. There was no answer. = That's odd. The butler said he was here... = She tried the doorknob, it worked. She slowly opened the door. "Are you in here?"
"Sakuya, leave." Clow's voice sounded harsh. He was sitting at his desk, his back turned towards Sakuya.
"What? Are you mad at me? I came to visit you..."
"Sure. Right after you ditched me to go with Kazan."
"I didn't ditch you..."
"Yeah, right, Sakuya. I watched the whole thing upstairs!"
"Megumi said..."
"Don't tell me what Megumi said. I know what Megumi said. She told me that you two were going shopping."
"No, you don't understand..."
"No, YOU don't understand. I told you to leave so LEAVE."
Tears began to well up in Sakuya's eyes. "C-Clow... Do you really want me to leave?"
Clow closed his eyes. = I can't stand this...I can't hear her cry...But she has to stop hanging out with me if she wants to be with Kazan. She's probably just hanging out with me just because we used to... I don't want to be a burden. I want what's best for my Sakuya...even if it means...leaving me...=
"Yes, leave! Go with your new best friend, Kazan."
"K-Kazan? But you're my best friend Clow! You're the only friend I have..."
"Sakuya...I know you two are a couple..."
Sakuya stood there, shocked. "What?"
"Yeah, Megumi told me. I hope you two have fun." Clow took a deep breath. "You can leave now and you don't have to bother visiting me anymore."
"No."
"What?"
"NO." Sakuya said louder. "NO, I WON'T leave. I'm staying RIGHT HERE."
"Why? Just leave..." = It'll be easier for both of us... =
"My turn. Why?" Sakuya walked up to Clow and made him face her. "I'm NOT going out with Kazan. No, I DON'T like Kazan." She stood straight, hands on her hips. "Clear enough for you?"
Clow sighed with relief, but he still had his doubts. "Then why didn't you visit me?"
"Because," Sakuya said, smiling gently. "Megumi said that you were sick and to visit you later because you were tired."
"Oh."
"Yeah, oh."
Both of them smiled. "I'm glad we got that cleared," Clow said.
"Me, too," Sakuya said. "Oh wait!" Sakuya said, hitting her forehead. "I almost forgot." She rummaged through her bag and pulled out a green sweatshirt.
"Green?" Clow asked, puzzled. "But that's not my favorite color, you know that..."
"I know...but something told me that you would eventually like it..."
"Thanks, Sakuya," Clow said.
"Your welcome."
You might be thinking, why is Sakura being so nice, if she liked Clow before? Well, its because not EVERYTHING is the same. Most of it is. Sakura is still Sakura (unselfish, etc. Plus, she didnt' kiss
Syaoran yet ^o^ )

"Damn you, Clow Reed. I will have my revenge. She is mine!"

The kid woke up. "Ahh! Not again! When will it end?? Sakuya!"

Sakura was swinging on the swing again. She looked up at the night sky. The stars seemed fuzzy and blurry. =Something doesn't feel right. Why do I feel so dizzy?= She closed her eyes and started to fall backwards out of the swing.
"Sakura!" Syaoran yelled as he caught her right before she hit the ground. Sakura opened her eyes. "We've got to stop meeting like this."
"Hey," she said weakly. "Why are you up? It's almost midnight."
"I saw you walking out here. Why are you up?"
"I...couldn't sleep." Sakura sat on the swing again.
"Why not?" Syaoran asked, sitting on the swing next to her. "Is it those dreams?"
Sakura nodded, looking at the stars.
They sat quietly for a while.
"We should go in," Syaoran said, breaking the silence.
"Don't worry about me." Sakura said.
"You could catch a cold."
"I'm all right."
"Okay then. You asked for it." Syaoran took her hand and began to drag her towards the house.
"Hey! Let go of me," Sakura said, laughing.
"You should've listened to me before," Syaoran said, still walking.
"I'll scream!" Sakura threatened.
"Go ahead. Wake everyone up."
"Let go!" Sakura whispered.
They finally reached the door and walked inside.
"There, we're in," Syaoran said. He blushed when he realized he was still holding onto her hand. "Oh, sorry about that."
"Say..."
"What, Sakura?" = God, I love saying her name. =
"Do you like Tomoyo?"
= Huh? = "W...what makes you say that?"
"Well you're always blushing around her."
"I..I do not!"
"Uh-huh, sure..." Sakura said sarcastically. She smiled.
"No, really- "
"You know... I think you two make a cute couple." Sakura smiled again and went to her room.
"..."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Sakuya! Wait up!" Megumi called.
"Oh...hi..." Sakuya said. She was on her way to Clow's house, reaching the front gate.
"Stay away from Clow," Megumi said to Sakura.
"Why? You can't tell me what to do."
"No, he's um...sick."
"Oops. Sorry" = I guess I got carried away...=
"No problem," Megumi said.
"Hey Megumi. Hi Sakuya!" Kazan said, catching up to them.
"What's up, Kazan?" Megumi asked.
"Nothing much."
"Well, what do you guys want to do then?" Sakuya asked. = Is it just me or are they being nice? =
"Let's go shopping," Kazan suggested.
"Well, I'd love to come," Megumi began, but I'm going to uh...go home. She winked at Kazan.
"O-okay," Sakuya said. "But let me talk to Clow..."
"Well..uhh...Clow said he was tired and not to bother him," Megumi quickly answered.
"How do you know all this?" Sakura asked, getting suspicious.
"I called him this morning."
"Oh, okay."
"Let's go, Sakuya," Kazan said, taking her hand.
The two of them walked off as Megumi watched them leave. = Yes, now I have Clow all to myself! = Megumi knocked on the door.
The door opened slightly. "Ah. It's you Mistress Megumi. Please, come in." The butler opened the door all the way.
"Will you tell Clow I'm here?"
"Yes, madam." The butler went upstairs to where Clow was looking out the window. He saw everything that happened with Sakuya and Kazan, but couldn't hear what they were saying. "Master. Megumi is here to see you."
"Huh? Oh, okay." He made is way downstairs. = Maybe I can ask Megumi what happened. =
"Hey Clow," Megumi greeted, hugging him.
"Hey," he responded, but didn't hug her back.
"So um....where are Sakuya and Kazan?"
"Well Sakuya was coming, but when she saw Kazan, she said that Kazan and her would go shopping. So I came."
"Oh." Clow looked troubled. = She wouldn't even say hi? =
"Well... I think they like each other. Don't you think they make a cute couple?"
= What? Sakuya and Kazan? No... =
"Well?" Megumi asked impatiently.
"Huh? Yeah..." = But I thought... =
"Are you ok?"
"I'm ok, I guess..." = She didn't even say 'Hi' or tell me where she was going... Maybe Megumi is right... =
"Good. So, what do you want to do?"
"You know what? I think I'm feeling kind of sick. I'm going up to my room."
"Are you sure? Do you want me to come up with you?"
"No!" Clow shouted.
Megumi stepped back.
"No, I'm sorry. I...I just want to be alone right now..." Clow walked upstairs to his room and collapsed on the bed. = Sakuya... =
Megumi frowned. = Sakuya...you will never have Clow. =
A few hours later, Sakuya came over to Clow's mansion. She knocked on the door, and the butler came out. "Yes?" he asked.

"No."
"What?"
"NO." Sakuya said louder. "NO, I WON'T leave. I'm staying RIGHT HERE."
"Why? Just leave..." = It'll be easier for both of us... =
"My turn. Why?" Sakuya walked up to Clow and made him face her. "I'm NOT going out with Kazan. No, I DON'T like Kazan." She stood straight, hands on her hips. "Clear enough for you?"
Clow sighed with relief, but he still had his doubts. "Then why didn't you visit me?"
"Because," Sakuya said, smiling gently. "Megumi said that you were sick and to visit you later because you were tired."
"Oh."
"Yeah, oh."
Both of them smiled. "I'm glad we got that cleared," Clow said.
"Me, too," Sakuya said. "Oh wait!" Sakuya said, hitting her forehead. "I almost forgot." She rummaged through her bag and pulled out a green sweatshirt.
