Road Trip - Chapter 4 Sequel to Light in the Darkness

~~~~~

Syaoran got into his sleeping bag and did the same thing. They talked for a bit, then another lightning bolt lit up the area. Syaoran noticed, as it lit up the tent that Sakura had a really scared look on her face. "Come here" he said Sakura shuffled along the tent in her sleeping bag so she was next to Syaoran. Syaoran put his arm around her and they drifted off to sleep like that.

In the morning, the two teens were woken by the birds chirping, a sign of the new day and that the storm had broken. Quickly untangling themselves from their sleeping bags and each other, they looked at each other, both blushed bright red and making for a quick exit, Syaoran quickly unzipped the tent and waited outside for Sakura to get changed. A couple of minutes later, they switched and Sakura waited for Syaoran while she put her shoes on, an idea forming in her head. Syaoran emerged from the tent and asked "What are we going to do today?" "Well, I do have an idea, but you'll just have to follow me to find out" Sakura said as she pulled on another jumper to protect her from the coolness of the morning. "Okay then" Syaoran said, wondering what on earth Sakura had in mind.

They set off up a different trail that Syaoran had never been on, Sakura leading the way. About halfway up, Syaoran asked "Are you sure you know where we're going?" Sakura turned around "Have some faith" she said and smiled at Syaoran, then turned around and continued up the trail, with Syaoran desperately trying to fight the blush that was creeping up on his face.

Finally, they reached the top of a cliff, Sakura led the way to the very edge and sat down on a makeshift rock seat. Syaoran followed her lead and sat down, then he looked out at the view. It was spectacular, a large snow-capped mountain rose out of the valley which was crowded with green trees. The edges around the top of the cliff were dotted with various types of wildflowers. "Wow, it's really cool" Syaoran said, staring out at the view. Sakura giggled, breaking into his thoughts. "I knew you'd like it" she said "Me and Keira discovered this place when we first came here, and as you can tell from the trail, I don't think many people know about this place, I wouldn't be surprised if we were the only ones.

At that, Syaoran got up and walked towards the edge of the cliff. Sakura watched with interest, wondering what he was doing, but he picked a handful of flowers and walked back over to Sakura. He held out the flowers for her and she took them gently. "Thank you" she said sweetly Sakura walked over to the edge of the cliff and stood there, looking out at the mountain. Syaoran came over and stood beside her. Sakura looked at him at stared into his eyes, those deep amber eyes. She felt him looking back into hers, she could feel that magical connection that you can only feel when you truly love someone. Then the inevitable happened, they moved closer and closer, until finally they kissed. The kiss was soft and gentle, yet it demanded more. They stayed there for what seemed like ages, neither of them wanting to move in case they ruined this perfect moment. But finally, they broke apart, for both of them had to breathe at some stage during this process.

They looked at each other and smiled, the kiss had said what a thousand words couldn't. They truly loved each other.

Author's Notes: Yah, yah, corny, I know! Okay, this is the end of this story, I think it's a good place to end it. If there's enough people wanting, I might write an epilogue, but only if there's enough people, coz frankly, I'm kinda sick of this story, in NZ they've taken CCS off the TV now and I haven't seen it for about 5 months so I've kinda lost my inspiration to write these stories, but I am writing DBZ stories, but I haven't posted dem yet, I wanna finish dem first, but if u wanna read them, then e-mail me and I'll tell ya wen I finally post them.
