Hey minna-san! It's me again! Since I have nothing to do (not really), I
might as well update. I'm really sorry for taking so long to update. What
can I do if I'm lazy? Hee-hee. By the way, ALMOST NO BODY VOTED!! The only
ppl who voted were Saki, Patricia and Hien. Hien didn't even do a valid
vote. She voted for choice C. If you don't vote, how will I know what you
want? Vote for either choice A: faster updates but shorter chapters, or
choice B: longer chapters but slower updates. Either works fine for me.
Thanks to all of my reviewers. I'm sorry you didn't like the last chapter
Hien. Don't forget to R+R! Please review. This may be a short chapter or it
may not.

Brief summary of previous chapter:
Syaoran was giving Sakura riding lessons when suddenly the horse that Sakura was sitting on, went out of control. Sakura passed out and wasn't waking up. Syaoran took care of her until she was better and then they went to the park and bought ice cream.
~~~~~~The Morning of the Last Day~~~~~~
Syaoran woke up groggily that morning. The sun had shone brightly and danced upon his face. He got up out of bed and looked at the calendar. A thought had just hit him. It was the last day that he and Sakura were going to be in Okayama. He didn't like the thought. He slowly walked over to the bathroom, brushed his teeth, took a quick shower, and got changed. He came out wearing khaki pants, a red collared shirt and a navy blue sweatshirt that had POLO written in big white letters, over his shirt. Of course he looked handsome as usual. His He didn't bother combing his hair because it all ways stayed the same. He put on brown leather shoes to go with the outfit. He came out of his room and saw that Sakura wasn't there. He knocked on her door softly. She didn't open the door so he decided to open the door and look in. He saw his angel still sleeping and looking so peaceful. He really didn't want to wake her up but he didn't have a choice. She looked like she was having a nice dream. (A/N: duh! Hello, she's dreaming of you Syao-kun!!) He gently shook her and called her name. "Saku- chan, Saku-chan, it's time to wake up. We have to start packing up," Syaoran said gently. "5 more minutes, please," Sakura replied still in her sleep. "Saku-chan, you still have to wake up. If you don't pack up, we won't be able to leave," Syaoran said. Sakura was awake but she still had her eyes closed. ' If we can't leave with out me packing, why pack at all? I don't want to leave Okayama, the beautiful landscape, but most of all, I don't want to leave the wonderful time me and Syaoran are spending together. If only I could stay,' Sakura thought. She opened her eyes and turned crimson. The man of her dreams was right there. His face was only 5 measly inches away from her face and he was very close to her. Syaoran smiled one of his only-for-Sakura smiles at her as she got up. She liked waking up to the man of her dreams right by her. 'Why do I have this funny feeling around Syaoran? Why am I turning red?' Sakura thought to herself. "Well good morning sleepy head," Syaoran said cheerfully. "Good morning," Sakura replied stretching. "Why don't you go change while I get breakfast ready, okay?" Syaoran suggested. "Alright," Sakura replied. Syaoran left the room and Sakura just stared dreamily. 'Wow, he's so sweet,' Sakura thought. She turned crimson again and wondered why she was feeling this way. She got out of bed and went to brush her teeth, take a quick shower and change. She came out wearing a black skirt that went down to her shin and a lavender turtle neck shirt. She put on black boots with her out fit. She tide the long auburn tresses that went down a little passed her shoulders, into a half ponytail. When she came out, Syaoran just looked at her with admiration and a pinkish hue came upon his cheeks making him look even more kawaii. He quickly turned back before Sakura could notice that he was staring. She went into the kitchen and looked over Syaoran's shoulder to see what he was cooking. He was cooking two omelets that smelled delicious. "Mmm... this smells good! When will it be ready to eat?" Sakura asked enthusiastically. "In about a second or two," Syaoran replied smiling. He put one of the omelets on Sakura's plate and he put one on his own too. Next, he poured some OJ in Sakura's glass and some in his own. (Haa haa, Hien! I asked O.J would he rather be gay or get married to you. And he had to think about it for a whole 5 minutes! He also said that you MIGHT grow up to be pretty. No, really you look fine. Don't worry about what the stupid a**hole says) He sat down across from Sakura and sighed. "You do know that this is our last day in Okayama, right?" Syaoran asked. "Hai," Sakura replied. 'Why do we have to leave?' Sakura and Syaoran thought. "Saku-chan, after breakfast I need to go run some errands so I'll be gone for a while. If you need me, just give me a call," Syaoran said. "Okay," Sakura said. They talked about usual stuff during the rest of breakfast. Then, Syaoran left to run his errands. Sakura cleaned up and went to the stables to just ride around on the horses since she wouldn't see them again. (A/N: or would she?)
~~~~~~After Syaoran was running errands~~~~~~
Syaoran was done running his errands and was heading home. He spotted a small antique jewelry shop and decided to check it out. He stepped out of his car and went in. As he was walking down the aisles, he spotted a little necklace. Immediately, it reminded him of Sakura. The chain was silver and it had a little cherry blossom pendant made out of rose stones. It was outlined with little white diamonds and it had a medium sized emerald in the middle of it. The necklace was completely breath taking and looked lovely. "That's one heck of a beautiful necklace," said the elderly saleswoman. "Yes, it is," Syaoran replied not taking his eyes off the pendant. "Is it for your wife, girlfriend, or somethin'?" the woman asked. Syaoran turned crimson and his cheeks were practically burning his face. "N- no, it's just for a friend," Syaoran said still blushing. "Sure it is, lover boy," the woman said teasingly. "How much is it?" Syaoran asked. "That will be $3,500," she replied. (A/N: I don't know the Japanese currency so I just used dollars instead. "I'll take it," Syaoran said. "Some 'friend'," the clerk said under her breath. Syaoran made out a check and handed it to her. "Would you like this to be wrapped?" the clerk asked. "Yes please," Syaoran replied. Soon the woman came out with a box wrapped in golden wrapping paper. "Arigato," Syaoran said as he left. "Poor boy, he's already head over heels in love with the girl and he doesn't even know it. Kids...they're so dense," the clerk said when Syaoran left.
~~~~~~Syaoran's car~~~~~~
Syaoran sat in his car and pondered. 'Hmm...this looks like a great gift for Saku-chan's birthday! Since it's only a week away, maybe I should just wait until it comes,' Syaoran thought as he put the little box in his briefcase. (A/N: Don't ask me how Syaoran knows about her birthday. -_-;;) He drove off with a smile on his face.
He wished this vacation would never end. 'If I pray to God, will he let me stay with Sakura for just one more day?' Syaoran asked himself.
~~~~~~When he got home~~~~~~
When Syaoran got home, he spotted Sakura on the couch reading a magazine. Sakura looked up and flashed him one of her kawaii smiles making Syaoran blush. "Saku-chan, how do you pray to God?" Syaoran asked. "Don't you know how to pray to God Syao-kun?" Sakura asked. "I've seen it a whole bunch of times, but how do you REALLY pray? You know, like make-it-come- true-pray," Syaoran said. "Syao-kun, all you need to do is pray with a soft heart and a good intensions," Sakura replied. 'Soft heart and good intensions. Maybe I can do it.' Syaoran thought to himself. Syaoran left the living room into his own bedroom and walked over to the open window. He looked upward towards the sky. "God, I'm not really an expert at these pray things. You know, Okayama could use a good thunderstorm tonight. You see, I really don't want to drive all the way from Okayama to Tokyo at night. It's too dark and I can't see. If your listening, God, please send a thunderstorm to Okayama and make sure it's a good one. Before I leave, can you do me a favor? Can you please make all of Sakura's dreams and wishes come true? She's a great girl and she's...well...my best friend. I don't know why, but I get a funny feeling around her. Well, it's been nice talkin' to you God. You're a good listener," Syaoran said. He shut the window and went back to where Sakura was; in the living room. (A/N: In case I didn't mention this, Sakura and Syaoran are planning to drive back to Tokyo in the night and they plan to get there in the morning.) "Well did you pray?" Sakura asked giggling. "Not necessarily. We just had a little chat," Syaoran replied. "That's nice," Sakura said. "Syao-kun, I made us both lunch. We'll be having a nice iceberg salad and a sandwich," Sakura said pretending to be some French waitress. Syaoran chuckled. "Wee, wee, madam," Syaoran replied with his best French accent making Sakura giggle. "Let's dig in," Sakura said. They ate their lunch with some light conversation about their past lives and their child hood. "Did you finish running your errands Syao-kun?" Sakura asked. "I ran my errands and more," Syaoran replied. "And more?" Sakura asked confused. "Never mind," Syaoran said sighing. Sakura just shrugged and continued eating. Soon they were done and they offered to help each other with their packing.
~~~~~~While packing~~~~~~
Syaoran had just finished packing and was going to check on Sakura. * Knock, knock * Syaoran knocked on the door and waited for a response. "Come in!" Sakura yelled through the door. Syaoran slowly opened the door and as soon as he did, he went wide-eyed. In front of him was Sakura with all of her belongings scattered all over the place. "Uhh...need some help?" Syaoran asked eyeing the mess in front of him. "Yes, PLEASE," Sakura pleaded. Syaoran slowly moved his way to the other side of the room, careful not to step on Sakura's stuff. "How did this happen?" Syaoran asked. "Uhh... well you see, I sorta thought that if I laid my belongings on the floor, it would be easier to pack up. Hee-hee, I'm such a baka, ne?" Sakura laughed nervously. Syaoran didn't say a word and just started picking up the clothes and folding them. Sakura joined in and they soon started picking up and folding. Syaoran also got the other stuff out of Sakura's closet and neatly sorted them into categories so that it would be easier pack. There was one drawer that Syaoran didn't dare touch because he knew that it had some of Sakura's personal stuff in side. (A/N: meaning lingerie, a diary, etc.) The big clue that gave him the thought that it was private was the sign taped on it saying "Private! You touch you die!" Syaoran and Sakura continued packing until the items were in neat little stacks. Shirts were in one pile; pants and skirts were in another. Scrunchies, small items and big items were also some of the stacks. Soon, they put all of the things in the suitcase and were done. "Phew, that was tiring," Sakura said plopping down on the bed. "Yeah, I'm pooped," Syaoran said plopping down beside her. "I'm also hungry. Wanna go get something to eat on our last night here?" Syaoran asked. "I'm also hungry. I don't want to leave the house, let's cook something!" Sakura suggested. "Okay," Syaoran replied. They headed off for the kitchen together.
~~~~~~Cooking~~~~~~
Syaoran was making one of his special gourmet dishes again. This time he was making lemon-pepper shrimp. Sakura was making some lo mien. Syaoran started chuckling for some reason. "Hoe, Syao-kun? What are you laughing at?" Sakura asked. "Nothing really. It was just that the shrimp reminded me of the incident at the restaurant. Do you remember?" Syaoran asked. "Unfortunately, yes I do. It's not really one of my fondest memories. Yet you still have to admit, it was pretty funny. Actually, it was hilarious!" Sakura said. Soon she started laughing her head off as Syaoran joined the laughter. Soon, they both calmed down and started cooking again. The kitchen was filled with wonderful smells that made both of their mouths water. Finally they were finished cooking and the sat down to eat. "Wow, this food smells delicious!" Sakura said anxiously. "I agree," Syaoran replied. "Then what are we waiting for? Let's dig in!" Sakura said. Soon they began eating the tasty food and enjoying themselves. They talked about how they were going to miss Okayama and its beauty. After they were done eating they watched 'Card Catcher Saki'.
~~~~~~Leaving~~~~~~
Before they knew it, it was already time to leave. "Oh, it's already time to leave," Syaoran said sadly. "Yeah, I noticed," Sakura also said sadly. "Well, let's go," Syaoran continued. Sakura and Syaoran turned off all of the electronics in the vacation home and left. Syaoran locked the door and headed for the car. "Syaoran-san, Syaoran-san, wait!" yelled a male voice. The young man appeared in front of Syaoran trying to catch his breath. "Sokai-san, is there something wrong?" Syaoran asked. "Sir, it's awfully late and are you sure that you want head off?" Sokai asked. "Yes, it's okay with me," Syaoran replied. 'God, didn't you here my prayers? Oh well, I guess that I'm too sinful. Well, God, I hope you at least made Sakura's wishes come true. You know, Okayama really needed that rain. So did I,' Syaoran thought. "Alright sir. It's your choice," Sokai said. Then he left for the stables. "Shall we?" Syaoran asked opening the car door. "Yes we may," Sakura replied getting in to the passenger seat of the car. 'Rain, rain; come and stay. Syaoran wants to get stuck in rain. Tokyo's too far away. Rain, rain; come and stay,' Syaoran kept on singing in his head. Syaoran saw a flash of lightning in the sky. Right after that, he heard the sound of thunder. It started raining HARD. They were already about 35 miles away from the farm and they couldn't turn back now. "Syao-kun, I think we should stop for the night," Sakura suggested. "Sure," Syaoran replied. 'Yes! God, you're the GREATEST!!' Syaoran thought happily. They soon approached a house. Syaoran pulled up to the gate and honked. The gate guard came running outside trying his best to hold on to his hat. Syaoran rolled down his window when the man came up. "Yes sir, how may I help you?" the guard asked. "As you see, it's pouring out here and we wondering if there would be some place we could stay at for the night," Syaoran said. "Well, the Mister and Mistress are out, but I'm sure they won't mind you staying," the man replied. "Go to the guest house that's on the west side of the house," the guard said. "Thank you very much," Syaoran said in gratitude. Syaoran parked the car in the big drive way and opened the door for Sakura. They both ran to the little guesthouse and locked the door.
~~~~~~Guest House~~~~~~
The guesthouse was actually pretty big in size. It had one bedroom, (A/N: No, I am NOT going to make this hentai. I'm only twelve. The only hentai person I know is Hien.) one bathroom, a kitchen and a spacious living room. The house was well decorated looking elegant yet welcoming. The lights were dim and made it feel very cozy. Suddenly, a bolt of lightning was seen and the thunder scared Sakura out of her wits. "Hoe?!" Sakura yelped frightened. Syaoran quickly ran over to her and placed his hand on her shoulder. "Saku-chan, are you okay?" Syaoran asked concerned. "Hai, I'm okay," Sakura replied. Syaoran took his hand off of her shoulder and looked around the room. The lights were out and they had no electricity. "Oh no," Syaoran said. "It's okay, I'll just light a fire. Don't worry, we'll make it through together," Sakura reassured. Syaoran turned to her and flashed her one of his only-for-Sakura smiles. In his mind, he repeated what Sakura had just said. 'Don't worry we'll make it through together.' (A/N: Okay, another one of those corny songs are about to come. I know how much you love them.) Syaoran blushed and held his hand against his heart. He was having one of those funny feelings again. (A/N: Sakura searching the house for some flash lights. /Name\ will indicate who's singing. They're not singing this out loud. They're singing it to themselves. PAY ATTENTION TO THE SONG! IT'S VERY IMPORTANT! The song will start in 3...2...1)
/SYAORAN\
Why have you set this odd feeling in my heart?
Why did you place this fire in my m?
Why did you?
Hum Ho Gaye Aapke
I've become yours.
Syaoran looked over where Sakura was. He couldn't help but stare in admiration. She was an angel. That was the best way to put it. Sakura was looking about for a flash light and some other things. Sakura looked over at Syaoran and their eyes got locked.
/SAKURA\
Why have you set this odd feeling in me?
Why have you set this flame on my heart?
Why have you?
Hum Ho Gaye Aapke
I've become yours.
Yes, I've become yours.
Sakura turned her head to hide the blush on her face. This new feeling she had was almost scaring her. No body had ever cared for her as much as Syaoran did. Syaoran had also turned his head away. He couldn't stop thinking about her. 'Why can't I stop thinking about her? What is this?' Syaoran thought. (A/N: * sighs * Tsk, tsk. So dense.)
/SYAORAN\
When my world was always against me,
You were there,
Your smile is like sunshine,
Your scent fills the air.
/SAKURA\
You gave me salvation,
When I had none,
Your smile dries up my tears,
Yes dear, you are the one,
Sakura turned away and walked to the kitchen. Syaoran was left standing there staring at her in admiration. He ran is fingers through his hair and turned away. 'I can't take it anymore. Sakura is just a girl. Just like all of the others. Or is she?' Syaoran thought to himself. He opened the door and headed outside where it was raining. He didn't bother taking an umbrella. He just stood out side with his arms wide open. He was soaking himself. The rain made him feel relaxed and calm. Sakura saw him outside and she grabbed the umbrella and headed towards the door. When she saw Syaoran there with his arms open, she giggled. She ran up beside him and put the umbrella over both of them. Syaoran blushed. They stood there in a comfortable silence watching the raindrops pour. A gust of wind came by and blew the umbrella away and they were both getting soaked again. Syaoran pulled off his sweater and put it over Sakura so that she wouldn't get wet. They both ran to the guesthouse and closed the door. Sakura giggled at Syaoran sudden act of going out side and freezing them both. She thanked him for covering her with his sweater. She saw that Syaoran was completely wet and his clothes were clinging to him. She ran to the linen closet and pulled out some towels. She ran back and wrapped Syaoran in the towels. She took another towel and started drying his hair with it. Syaoran blushed and smiled.
/SYAORAN\
How can I tell you how I feel?
My eyes are the only things that reveal.
If I told you would you return love?
My love, you are all I think of.
Why did you set this odd feeling in my heart?
Why did you place this fire in me?
Why did you?
Hum Ho Gaye Aapke,
I've become yours.
Syaoran's hair was now partially dry and Sakura had stopped wringing his hair out with the towel. She got up and walked over to the kitchen. Syaoran was getting even more stressed about the situation with Sakura. Little did he know that love had hit him. Syaoran had tensed up and he lit a cigarette. Meanwhile, Sakura had lit a fire in the fireplace making the living room warmer. Then, she went into the kitchen and started cutting an apple into slices. She watched Syaoran smoking again. 'There he goes again. Smoking. And just when I thought that he'd quit. He's to handsome to smoke and be under stress.' Sakura thought. Then she blushed at the last sentence.
/SAKURA\
Why must one keep their feelings locked up?
Open up the heart and let it all out.
If only the words came out of my mouth,
If only I could just tell you,
My love is true.
Why have you set this odd feeling in me?
Why have you set this flame on my heart?
Why have you?
Hum Ho Gaye Aapke
I've become yours.
Yes, I've become yours
Sakura walked over to Syaoran with the cut up apple and an ashtray. She stood in front of Syaoran not saying a word. She just kept on smiling. Syaoran knew what she wanted him to so. He put out the cigarette in the ashtray and took an apple slice. Sakura smile turned brighter and Syaoran just smiled back.
/SAKURA & SYAORAN\
If only you knew my darling,
If only you knew.
Why have you set this odd feeling in me?
Why have you set this flame on my heart?
Why have you?
Hum Ho Gaye Aapke
I've become yours.
Yes, I've become yours
(A/N: *sniff, sniff* isn't this just soooooooooooooo kawaii?) 'She cares for me. She really does.' Syaoran thought. Sakura walked over to the kitchen again. She opened the refrigerator door and took out a bottle of water. Syaoran did the same. Sakura walked over to the couch and just sat there staring at a magazine. The firelight made it easier for her to read. Syaoran walked over to a window and looked out. The storm was still very harsh and they probably couldn't leave until morning. He stared out their for ten more minutes. When he turned back around, he saw that Sakura had already fell fast asleep. Syaoran smiled at the sleeping angel and walked over to the couch. "Saku-chan, I don't know what you've been doing to me. Every time I see you, my heart beats faster and I get this funny feeling I have never had before. If you only knew," Syaoran whispered to his sleeping angel. He carefully picked her up and carried her over to the bedroom. He laid her down on the bed and covered her with a blanket. 'So innocent,' he thought. Before he left he placed a small but sweet kiss on her forehead. He didn't care that he was having these feelings anymore. He started liking these feelings. He looked at the sleeping angel again in admiration before he closed the door and left. Syaoran took a blanket out of the linen closet and he laid down on the sofa. He covered himself with the blanket and fell asleep dreaming about Sakura.
/SYAORAN\
Hum Ho Gaye Aapke,
I've become yours.

You know, Okayama could use a good thunderstorm tonight. You see, I really don't want to drive all the way from Okayama to Tokyo at night. It's too dark and I can't see. If your listening, God, please send a thunderstorm to Okayama and make sure it's a good one. Before I leave, can you do me a favor? Can you please make all of Sakura's dreams and wishes come true? She's a great girl and she's...well...my best friend. I don't know why, but I get a funny feeling around her. Well, it's been nice talkin' to you God. You're a good listener," Syaoran said. He shut the window and went back to where Sakura was; in the living room. (A/N: In case I didn't mention this, Sakura and Syaoran are planning to drive back to Tokyo in the night and they plan to get there in the morning.) "Well did you pray?" Sakura asked giggling. "Not necessarily. We just had a little chat," Syaoran replied. "That's nice," Sakura said. "Syao-kun, I made us both lunch. We'll be having a nice iceberg salad and a sandwich," Sakura said pretending to be some French waitress. Syaoran chuckled. "Wee, wee, madam," Syaoran replied with his best French accent making Sakura giggle. "Let's dig in," Sakura said. They ate their lunch with some light conversation about their past lives and their child hood. "Did you finish running your errands Syao-kun?" Sakura asked. "I ran my errands and more," Syaoran replied. "And more?" Sakura asked confused. "Never mind," Syaoran said sighing. Sakura just shrugged and continued eating. Soon they were done and they offered to help each other with their packing.
~~~~~~While packing~~~~~~
Syaoran had just finished packing and was going to check on Sakura. * Knock, knock * Syaoran knocked on the door and waited for a response. "Come in!" Sakura yelled through the door. Syaoran slowly opened the door and as soon as he did, he went wide-eyed. In front of him was Sakura with all of her belongings scattered all over the place. "Uhh...need some help?" Syaoran asked eyeing the mess in front of him. "Yes, PLEASE," Sakura pleaded. Syaoran slowly moved his way to the other side of the room, careful not to step on Sakura's stuff. "How did this happen?" Syaoran asked. "Uhh... well you see, I sorta thought that if I laid my belongings on the floor, it would be easier to pack up. Hee-hee, I'm such a baka, ne?" Sakura laughed nervously. Syaoran didn't say a word and just started picking up the clothes and folding them. Sakura joined in and they soon started picking up and folding. Syaoran also got the other stuff out of Sakura's closet and neatly sorted them into categories so that it would be easier pack. There was one drawer that Syaoran didn't dare touch because he knew that it had some of Sakura's personal stuff in side. (A/N: meaning lingerie, a diary, etc.) The big clue that gave him the thought that it was private was the sign taped on it saying "Private! You touch you die!" Syaoran and Sakura continued packing until the items were in neat little stacks. Shirts were in one pile; pants and skirts were in another. Scrunchies, small items and big items were also some of the stacks. Soon, they put all of the things in the suitcase and were done. "Phew, that was tiring," Sakura said plopping down on the bed. "Yeah, I'm pooped," Syaoran said plopping down beside her. "I'm also hungry. Wanna go get something to eat on our last night here?" Syaoran asked. "I'm also hungry. I don't want to leave the house, let's cook something!" Sakura suggested. "Okay," Syaoran replied. They headed off for the kitchen together.
~~~~~~Cooking~~~~~~
Syaoran was making one of his special gourmet dishes again. This time he was making lemon-pepper shrimp. Sakura was making some lo mien. Syaoran started chuckling for some reason. "Hoe, Syao-kun? What are you laughing at?" Sakura asked. "Nothing really. It was just that the shrimp reminded me of the incident at the restaurant. Do you remember?" Syaoran asked. "Unfortunately, yes I do. It's not really one of my fondest memories. Yet you still have to admit, it was pretty funny. Actually, it was hilarious!" Sakura said. Soon she started laughing her head off as Syaoran joined the laughter. Soon, they both calmed down and started cooking again. The kitchen was filled with wonderful smells that made both of their mouths water. Finally they were finished cooking and the sat down to eat. "Wow, this food smells delicious!" Sakura said anxiously. "I agree," Syaoran replied. "Then what are we waiting for? Let's dig in!" Sakura said. Soon they began eating the tasty food and enjoying themselves. They talked about how they were going to miss Okayama and its beauty. After they were done eating they watched 'Card Catcher Saki'.
~~~~~~Leaving~~~~~~
Before they knew it, it was already time to leave. "Oh, it's already time to leave," Syaoran said sadly. "Yeah, I noticed," Sakura also said sadly. "Well, let's go," Syaoran continued. Sakura and Syaoran turned off all of the electronics in the vacation home and left. Syaoran locked the door and headed for the car. "Syaoran-san, Syaoran-san, wait!" yelled a male voice. The young man appeared in front of Syaoran trying to catch his breath. "Sokai-san, is there something wrong?" Syaoran asked. "Sir, it's awfully late and are you sure that you want head off?" Sokai asked. "Yes, it's okay with me," Syaoran replied. 'God, didn't you here my prayers? Oh well, I guess that I'm too sinful. Well, God, I hope you at least made Sakura's wishes come true. You know, Okayama really needed that rain. So did I,' Syaoran thought. "Alright sir. It's your choice," Sokai said. Then he left for the stables. "Shall we?" Syaoran asked opening the car door. "Yes we may," Sakura replied getting in to the passenger seat of the car. 'Rain, rain; come and stay. Syaoran wants to get stuck in rain. Tokyo's too far away. Rain, rain; come and stay,' Syaoran kept on singing in his head. Syaoran saw a flash of lightning in the sky. Right after that, he heard the sound of thunder. It started raining HARD. They were already about 35 miles away from the farm and they couldn't turn back now. "Syao-kun, I think we should stop for the night," Sakura suggested. "Sure," Syaoran replied. 'Yes! God, you're the GREATEST!!' Syaoran thought happily. They soon approached a house. Syaoran pulled up to the gate and honked. The gate guard came running outside trying his best to hold on to his hat. Syaoran rolled down his window when the man came up. "Yes sir, how may I help you?" the guard asked. "As you see, it's pouring out here and we wondering if there would be some place we could stay at for the night," Syaoran said. "Well, the Mister and Mistress are out, but I'm sure they won't mind you staying," the man replied. "Go to the guest house that's on the west side of the house," the guard said. "Thank you very much," Syaoran said in gratitude. Syaoran parked the car in the big drive way and opened the door for Sakura. They both ran to the little guesthouse and locked the door.
~~~~~~Guest House~~~~~~
The guesthouse was actually pretty big in size. It had one bedroom, (A/N: No, I am NOT going to make this hentai. I'm only twelve. The only hentai person I know is Hien.) one bathroom, a kitchen and a spacious living room. The house was well decorated looking elegant yet welcoming. The lights were dim and made it feel very cozy. Suddenly, a bolt of lightning was seen and the thunder scared Sakura out of her wits. "Hoe?!" Sakura yelped frightened. Syaoran quickly ran over to her and placed his hand on her shoulder. "Saku-chan, are you okay?" Syaoran asked concerned. "Hai, I'm okay," Sakura replied. Syaoran took his hand off of her shoulder and looked around the room. The lights were out and they had no electricity. "Oh no," Syaoran said. "It's okay, I'll just light a fire. Don't worry, we'll make it through together," Sakura reassured. Syaoran turned to her and flashed her one of his only-for-Sakura smiles. In his mind, he repeated what Sakura had just said. 'Don't worry we'll make it through together.' (A/N: Okay, another one of those corny songs are about to come. I know how much you love them.) Syaoran blushed and held his hand against his heart. He was having one of those funny feelings again. (A/N: Sakura searching the house for some flash lights. /Name\ will indicate who's singing. They're not singing this out loud. They're singing it to themselves. PAY ATTENTION TO THE SONG! IT'S VERY IMPORTANT! The song will start in 3...2...1)
/SYAORAN\
Why have you set this odd feeling in my heart?
Why did you place this fire in my m?
Why did you?
Hum Ho Gaye Aapke
I've become yours.
Syaoran looked over where Sakura was. He couldn't help but stare in admiration. She was an angel. That was the best way to put it. Sakura was looking about for a flash light and some other things. Sakura looked over at Syaoran and their eyes got locked.
/SAKURA\
Why have you set this odd feeling in me?
Why have you set this flame on my heart?
Why have you?
Hum Ho Gaye Aapke
I've become yours.
Yes, I've become yours.
Sakura turned her head to hide the blush on her face. This new feeling she had was almost scaring her. No body had ever cared for her as much as Syaoran did. Syaoran had also turned his head away. He couldn't stop thinking about her. 'Why can't I stop thinking about her? What is this?' Syaoran thought. (A/N: * sighs * Tsk, tsk. So dense.)
/SYAORAN\
When my world was always against me,
You were there,
Your smile is like sunshine,
Your scent fills the air.
/SAKURA\
You gave me salvation,
When I had none,
Your smile dries up my tears,
Yes dear, you are the one,
Sakura turned away and walked to the kitchen. Syaoran was left standing there staring at her in admiration. He ran is fingers through his hair and turned away. 'I can't take it anymore. Sakura is just a girl. Just like all of the others. Or is she?' Syaoran thought to himself. He opened the door and headed outside where it was raining. He didn't bother taking an umbrella. He just stood out side with his arms wide open. He was soaking himself. The rain made him feel relaxed and calm. Sakura saw him outside and she grabbed the umbrella and headed towards the door. When she saw Syaoran there with his arms open, she giggled. She ran up beside him and put the umbrella over both of them. Syaoran blushed. They stood there in a comfortable silence watching the raindrops pour. A gust of wind came by and blew the umbrella away and they were both getting soaked again. Syaoran pulled off his sweater and put it over Sakura so that she wouldn't get wet. They both ran to the guesthouse and closed the door. Sakura giggled at Syaoran sudden act of going out side and freezing them both. She thanked him for covering her with his sweater. She saw that Syaoran was completely wet and his clothes were clinging to him. She ran to the linen closet and pulled out some towels. She ran back and wrapped Syaoran in the towels. She took another towel and started drying his hair with it. Syaoran blushed and smiled.
/SYAORAN\
How can I tell you how I feel?
My eyes are the only things that reveal.
If I told you would you return love?
My love, you are all I think of.
Why did you set this odd feeling in my heart?
Why did you place this fire in me?
Why did you?
Hum Ho Gaye Aapke,
I've become yours.
Syaoran's hair was now partially dry and Sakura had stopped wringing his hair out with the towel. She got up and walked over to the kitchen. Syaoran was getting even more stressed about the situation with Sakura. Little did he know that love had hit him. Syaoran had tensed up and he lit a cigarette. Meanwhile, Sakura had lit a fire in the fireplace making the living room warmer. Then, she went into the kitchen and started cutting an apple into slices. She watched Syaoran smoking again. 'There he goes again. Smoking. And just when I thought that he'd quit. He's to handsome to smoke and be under stress.' Sakura thought. Then she blushed at the last sentence.
/SAKURA\
Why must one keep their feelings locked up?
Open up the heart and let it all out.
If only the words came out of my mouth,
If only I could just tell you,
My love is true.
Why have you set this odd feeling in me?
Why have you set this flame on my heart?
Why have you?
Hum Ho Gaye Aapke
I've become yours.
Yes, I've become yours
Sakura walked over to Syaoran with the cut up apple and an ashtray. She stood in front of Syaoran not saying a word. She just kept on smiling. Syaoran knew what she wanted him to so. He put out the cigarette in the ashtray and took an apple slice. Sakura smile turned brighter and Syaoran just smiled back.
/SAKURA & SYAORAN\
If only you knew my darling,
If only you knew.
Why have you set this odd feeling in me?
Why have you set this flame on my heart?
Why have you?
Hum Ho Gaye Aapke
I've become yours.
Yes, I've become yours
(A/N: *sniff, sniff* isn't this just soooooooooooooo kawaii?) 'She cares for me. She really does.' Syaoran thought. Sakura walked over to the kitchen again. She opened the refrigerator door and took out a bottle of water. Syaoran did the same. Sakura walked over to the couch and just sat there staring at a magazine. The firelight made it easier for her to read. Syaoran walked over to a window and looked out. The storm was still very harsh and they probably couldn't leave until morning. He stared out their for ten more minutes. When he turned back around, he saw that Sakura had already fell fast asleep. Syaoran smiled at the sleeping angel and walked over to the couch. "Saku-chan, I don't know what you've been doing to me. Every time I see you, my heart beats faster and I get this funny feeling I have never had before. If you only knew," Syaoran whispered to his sleeping angel. He carefully picked her up and carried her over to the bedroom. He laid her down on the bed and covered her with a blanket. 'So innocent,' he thought. Before he left he placed a small but sweet kiss on her forehead. He didn't care that he was having these feelings anymore. He started liking these feelings. He looked at the sleeping angel again in admiration before he closed the door and left. Syaoran took a blanket out of the linen closet and he laid down on the sofa. He covered himself with the blanket and fell asleep dreaming about Sakura.
/SYAORAN\
Hum Ho Gaye Aapke,
I've become yours.
