Road Trip – Chapter 2

Sequel to Light in the Darkness

~~~~~

Today was the day, Syaoran and Sakura were all ready and Eriol, Tomoyo, Meilin and Matt came to say goodbye to them.

"Have fun guys" Tomoyo said

"See ya in a week" Eriol said as the car drove off

"This better work" Tomoyo said

~~~~~

The road was really dusty; they were traveling along the main road into the town (Does anyone know what I can call the town, I can't keep on writing 'Sakura's home town' can I?)

Sakura was driving at the moment, they'd taken turns driving for the four hours they'd been traveling, it was getting late in the day and they were tired.

"How long until we get there?" Syaoran asked

"We're almost at the end of the road, then we've gotta go down another road and out again to Keira's house, I think it'll take about half an hour more"

They were silent for the rest of the way.

They finally turned down Keira's long driveway and drove up to the house.

Sakura got out and walked to the door, Syaoran followed behind her.

She knocked on the door and they heard footsteps running towards the door, it opened and a small girl with light blonde hair and deep blue eyes was standing there.

"Sakura!" she yelled excitedly and hugged her

Sakura picked up the girl and said "Hi Sammie"

Another girl who looked like an older version of Sammie came round the corner and said "Hi Sakura"

Sakura put Sammie down and said "Hi Keira, how's things?"

"Fine, who's that?" she asked, looked around Sakura at Syaoran.

"Oh, that's Syaoran, Syaoran, that's Keira"

"Nice to meet you" Syaoran said politely

"Come in" Keira said and motioned for Sakura and Syaoran to follow her

They went into the lounge and Keira's mother came into the lounge and gave Sakura a hug

"How are you?" she asked

"I'm fine, Touya's fine too," Sakura said

Keira's mother went into the kitchen and brought out a plate of freshly baked cookies.

"Wow, Mrs Simons, you make the best cookies" Sakura said after tasting the cookie "I missed your baking"

"You can come and visit anytime you know?" she said

Suddenly, a little boy came bursting into the lounge, he spotted Syaoran and said excitedly "Come with me, I want to show you something!" he grabbed Syaoran's hand and pulled him in the direction he had come from, Syaoran looked back with a helpless look on his face.

"I guess Benny hasn't changed a bit then," Sakura said (BTW, Benny and Sammie are twins)

"Not at all" Keira said, "let's go to my room, and we can catch up"

Sakura and Keira went to Keira's room; they walked in and sat down on Keira's bed.

"So, how's things going with your magic and stuff?" Keira asked

"Yep, all's cool, Lord Maul, that guy who killed my Dad, followed me to Tomoeda (spelling???) and he tried to kill me and my friends, but I defeated him"

"Really? Cool!" Keira exclaimed

"And Syaoran has magical powers too"

"Cool, man you found some cool friends" Keira said "And he's cute too," she added

"Hands off, besides you got Adam" Sakura said

"True, so true"

"So, how's things been here without me?" Sakura asked

"Pretty much the same, everyone missed you when you left, everyone's pretty much the same"

Keira filled her in on all the gossip and then they decided to go rescue Syaoran from Benny.

They walked outside to Benny's latest attempt at making a tree-hut.

It consisted of a few boards nailed to a large tree in the front yard, Benny was sitting in there with Syaoran and Benny was bossing Syaoran around, telling him to nail some boards in and whatever.

"Good job Syaoran" Sakura said

"Sakura, get me outa here" Syaoran said, "I'm begging you"

Sakura laughed "Come on, we gotta go now anyway"

Syaoran jumped out of the tree and followed Sakura and Keira to the car.

"You can go through those paddocks there" Keira said and pointed to the gate "I went through this morning and opened the gates, none of the animals are there so you don't need to worry about them"

"Thanks Keira, we'll be back in about 5 to 7 days" Sakura said "I've got my cell phone, I think it'll be in range so you can ring me if you need"

"Okay, have fun"

Sakura and Syaoran got in the car and she slowly drove the car towards the gate and waved to Keira, Benny and Sammie.

Sakura drove the car slowly across the bumpy ground towards the forest at the edge of their property, the mountains rose out of the forest, it was a beautiful sight.

They got to the edge of the forest and Sakura drove the car into the forest until it got too thick to drive anymore, she parked the car in a small clearing and they got out.

"Let's got for a little hike first to find a good spot to pitch the tent" Sakura said

"Okay, let's go" Syaoran said

They walked towards the trail and walked up it for about five minutes until they got to a large clearing.

"Perfect" Sakura said, "let's go get our stuff"

They ran back down the trail and got their backpacks and as much stuff as they could carry and walked back up the trail.

They dumped the camping gear where they were going to camp and Syaoran went back to the car to get the other things while Sakura started setting up the tent.

Syaoran came back up the trail bringing a whole lot of camping gear with him, he put it down with the rest of the camping stuff and sat down and watched Sakura putting the tent up.

After a few minutes Sakura noticed that she couldn't sense movement behind her and she turned around and saw Syaoran leaning against a tree.

"Syaoran! I'm not gonna do all the work, come help me!"

Syaoran smiled at her and went round to the other side of the tent and tied it down.

Together they finished putting the tent up and put all their things in it.

"It's nice here eh?" Sakura said

"Yeah, now I know why you don't like Tomoeda that much" Syaoran said "Did you come here much?"

"Yeah, me and Keira used to come here heaps, we used to camp here in the holidays"

~~~~~

Later on that day, Sakura and Syaoran had finished setting up the campsite and were relaxing by the small lake that was near where they were camping.

"I'm gonna go swimming" Sakura said and ran back to their camp to get changed

She came back a few minutes later with a towel wrapped around her, she dropped the towel revealing her hot-pink coloured bikini.

She ran to the lake and jumped in.

"Come in Syaoran, it's really warm" she yelled to Syaoran, who was staring at her (I wonder why…)

"Okay" Syaoran said and ran back to the campsite to get changed into his togs.

He came back after a few minutes and did a bomb next to where Sakura was.

"Hey!" she yelled at him

He smiled cheekily at her and started splashing her and they started laughing.

Sakura splashed Syaoran back and then she ran out of the lake and Syaoran ran after her and he grabbed her hand to stop her but she tripped over and he fell over on her.

Sakura twisted over under him so that she was facing him and smiled which made him blush and he quickly got off her and turned around so she couldn't see him blush, when he was sure that the blush had gone he turned back around to Sakura who was looking at him.

"Well I did catch you" he said and gave her one of his best smiles.
