"Hey! You guys coming or what?" Meilin giggled.
Syaoran turned to face Meilin, "Hai, hai! We're coming, don't worry."
Syaoran continued to hold Sakura's hand as she skated next to him without saying a word. The walk only lasted about ten more minutes before they arrived at the movie theater. One by one, everybody paid for their ticket until it was Sakura's turn. Nervously she went up to the ticket booth.
"O-one ticket to 13 G-g..." she stuttered not being able to bring herself to say the word "ghost."
Syaoran stepped up from behind her, and laid some money down...enough money for two tickets. "Two tickets to 13 Ghosts, please."
The lady behind the booth smiled, and handed Syaoran two tickets to the movie. She turned to Sakura, looking at her roller-skates, "You can't wear those into the theater."
Sakura looked down at her skates, "Hai. I'll take them off."
"You coming, Li-kun?" shouted Yamazaki from up ahead.
"We'll be right there! Go in and save us some seats!" responded Syaoran.
"Alright, hurry though. The movie will begin in a few minutes!"
"You don't have to wait for me..." Sakura mumbled. "I can take care of myself."
"What about that guy earlier?" he pointed out, his eyes spoke concern.
"I--I...Why do you care! Why are you acting so nice towards me!?! What do you want!" Sakura snapped at him, immediately regretting that she didn't.
"I promise I won't hurt you..." Syaoran said softly.
"That's what they all said...what makes you any different!" she growled.
He held out his pinky finger, "You have my word."
Sighing, she accepted and took his pinky finger into hers. She quickly put on her pink Sketchers sneakers, and walked inside the movie theater. Syaoran walked slowly by her as he recalled her earlier words. "That's what they all said..." She was hurt before...more than once... Who could have done such a thing! Syaoran thought to himself angrily. But sadness also washed over him because she had been with some other guy before... No, why should I care... She isn't exactly the Sakura as before...all her memory was lost...
When they entered the dark room, the previews had already begun. There were two empty seats in the front of where the group was sitting. Syaoran and Sakura took their place in the two empty seats. The beginning had begun to play across the screen, it came so fast. A girl running from something that was invisible, yet things crashed all about her... Sakura shut her eyes tightly, and gripped the edge of her seat.
Suddenly, she felt Syaoran's arm stretch over her shoulders, stroking her arm soothingly. She sighed in relief as realized there would be somebody comforting her during the entire movie. Unconsciously, she let her head rest against his broad shoulders and sighed in content. This feels so right...being here with him. I actually feel loved, safe, and protected...I never felt that before with the other guys. Why does this feel so familiar? Sakura wondered to herself.
Throughout the entire horror movie, Sakura would tense up every time a scary part was about to happen. And Syaoran would always whisper soothing things into her ear and stroke her arm softly with his knuckles. If watching scary movies with ghosts in them meant being like this every time...I might actually start to like these types of movies!! Sakura giggled to herself. The movie ended to her relief and disappointment.
"I'm kinda hungry, you guys wanna catch a bite to eat before we go?" Syaoran asked the rest of the group. To his slight disappointment, everybody was shaking their heads slowly. Then he turned to Sakura and whispered gently, "Do you want to catch a bite to eat with me?"
Sakura looked back at him in surprise. Was this a date? she wondered to herself. However she smiled happily and responded, "Hai! I would love to."
He smiled, "My treat." She smiled up again at him...she same smile as his Sakura's. He blinked a few times, for a second there he had seen the old Sakura there. Her auburn brown hair and her beautiful emerald green eyes suddenly replaced the sunny blond hair that was streaked pink and the mysterious ice blue eyes...just for a second. The smile however had stayed the same.
"Daijoubu?" Sakura asked in a worried tone.
"Aa. I thought I just saw something that's all..." Syaoran mumbled.
She turned around to see if anything might be behind her, but there wasn't. "Oh ok..."
"So what do you wanna eat?" Syaoran asked, changing the subject.
"Um...how about some ice cream?"
"Sure! There's this really great place nearby...has 10 whole different flavors of chocolate!"
Sakura giggled a little as Syaoran began listing off the 10 different flavors of chocolate that the ice cream shop had. "So what's the shop called?"
"Huh? Oh! Cloud Nine," he said as he coiled his arm around her waist and began to head off towards Cloud Nine.
"That's a pretty name..."
He stroked her cheek, "You're pretty."
She hit him softly, "Mou Li-kun! We just met today! I can't believe I'm even going along with this..."
"Are you positive? I feel as if I've known you much longer than one day..."
She looked up to glare at him, but instead she saw another vision...of the past. She saw herself sit beside Syaoran in one of the Ferris wheel carts. Then she looked into he glass, but she didn't see herself... She saw that girl with auburn-brown haired and emerald green eyes smiling back at her. It was the same girl as the one who died in the vision she had when she did Syaoran's Tarot reading.
She gasped, and Syaoran looked down at her, "What's wrong?"
Snapping back to reality she shook her head, "Nothing... Just spaced out for a while."
"You sure?"
"I guess..."
He looked at her with a puzzled look, but decided to let it go. Maybe just maybe her memories are coming back... Syaoran thought to himself. Then he shook his head sadly, Will she ever remember...? Will she ever remember us? Praying that her memories would come back to her someday, they arrived at Cloud Nine.
"What would you two like?" asked a waitress once Sakura and Syaoran had taken their seats.
"I'll take the double fudge chocolate," Syaoran answered without looking at the list of choices. Sakura on the other hand couldn't make up her mind on what to order.
"And for you?" the waitress looked at her waiting expectantly.
"Uh..." she laughed nervously.
"Why don't you make the double fudge a large? Two spoons," Syaoran interrupted, as the waitress began to scribble things down on her notepad. She returned shortly with a large dish or double fudge chocolate ice cream that dripped with hot fudge. As the two ate in perfect content-ness, they did not notice a pair of fiery midnight blue eyes glaring at them. The eyes watched them laugh and talk...just the sight made her eyes blaze.
Syaoran turned to face Meilin, "Hai, hai! We're coming, don't worry."
Syaoran continued to hold Sakura's hand as she skated next to him without saying a word. The walk only lasted about ten more minutes before they arrived at the movie theater. One by one, everybody paid for their ticket until it was Sakura's turn. Nervously she went up to the ticket booth.
