Sakura awoke to the smell of the salt breeze. She quietly wondered where she was. She sat up and saw the cabin walls around her.
/That's right, we're on a boat./
She rubbed her eyes and got to her feet. Her throat felt oddly dry and she realized she was thirsty. She looked down and saw that she had been changed into pajamas. She was wearing a light almost sheer strappy nightgown. She decided to grab her robe before leaving the room. She pulled the arms on and shrugged into it, before tying the sash securely around her waist. She walked towards the door, and opened it with a twist of the knob. She stepped out into the hallway and noticed the figure wrapped in a blanket next to her door. Puzzled she stepped closer, she noticed the dark brown hair and immeadiatly realized it was Syoaran. What's Syoaran doing sleeping by my door? she thought blushing a light pink. She bent over and gently shook his shoulder.
"Hey, Syoaran, wake up." she said softly. Syoaran's eyes slowly opened and blinked twice before they settled on Sakura's face hovering above him. His arms reflexively encirled her small form, pulling her down on to his lap as hugged her tightly.
"Sakura...." he trailed off.
/What if I lost her?/
Syoaran held her for a few minutes before releasing her and allowing her to stand. Her face had turned a bright shade of red, and judging by the burning in his cheeks, so had his.
"Sorry" he appologized quickly. Sakuras hand fastened on her sash as she sat down beside him.
"What happened?" she questioned. Syoaran heard her voice scratching and decided that before he told her what had happened, she needed some water. Syoaran stood up and reached out for her hand. Sakura looked up a little confused, but placed her hand in his anyway. Syoaran helped her to her feet and silently lead her towards the dinning room. A lone man stood at the bar, half asleep. Syoaran approached and asked for a glass of water, the man immeadiatly complied, handing Syoaran the requested glass, before sitting back down. Syoaran walked back over to Sakura and handed her the glass.
"Here." he said a little gruffly. Sakura smile gratefully.
"Thanks, Syoaran" she said before downing the glass. Syoaran smiled back and they headed back towards the room to discuss what had happened.
***************************************************************************
Tomoyo smiled at Eriol. Eriol smiled back. Plans had begun to improve the lives of both Sakura and his little descendent.
"Did you like the little show I put on?" he questioned. Tomoyo nodded emphatically.
"Did you see the look on Syoaran's face when he was carrying Sakura into the room?" she asked with a giggle. Eriol nodded and smiled back at her briefly.
"But it isn't over yet..." he said mysteriously. Tomoyo nodded and walked back to his room with him. More plotting was going to be required.
****************************************************************************
Sakura awoke to the sound of waves gently lapping against the wall beside her. She yawned and lay there, rolling over.
/ just for a few more minutes./
The sound of light snoring caused her to look over at the bed beside her, where Syoaran was fast a sleep. Another one of the many blushes, that so often grace her cheeks, graced them.
/I wonder where Tomoyo slept?/
Sakura sat up and padded softly towards the small bathroom. She garbbed a pair of shorts and a light pink t-shirt, as well as socks underwear and a bra. She stepped in and closed the door. Sakura quickly took a short shower and dried herself off. She dressed herself and brushed her hair. She grabbed the strawberry lip gloss off the sink and swiped it over her lips. She stepped out just in time to collide with Syoaran who was still half asleep.
"Bathroom?" he asked.
Sakura nodded and stepped out of the way. Allowing the sleepy Syoaran to enter the bathroom.
"Hey Syoaran," she called through the door.
"mmmpphh" was mumbled back.
"Put the toilet seat down when your done." she said quickly.
/Yeah I can just see it, next time I go to use it, i fall in./
"mmm-hhhmmm" was the tired reply.
A minute or so later Syoaran emmerged looking refreshed and alert. He smiled at Sakura before suggesting he go get dressed and showered for the day. Sakura smiled back and agreed that it would be a good idea. Sakura walked out of the room after Syoaran and headed to the deck to see if she could find Tomoyo.
****************************************************************************
Syoaran opened the door to his and eriol's room and was instantly shocked by the sight inside. Clothes were strewn on the floor and Tomoyo and Eriol were laying in the same bed arms wrapped aound each other. Syoaran turned crimson and shut the door. He then opened it again, walked in, getting redder by the second and grabbed a pair of pants from his drawer as well as a change of underwear and a shirt. By the time he reached the door again his face was redder than a ripe italian tomato. He quickly stepped out closing the door behind him. When he got back to Sakura's room, she had already left, so he decided to quickly use her shower and get dressed. After finishing his morning rituals, he stepped out of the bathroom and walked to the door, opening it with a twist of the doorknob. He began his search for Sakura, walking up to the deck, he quickly spotted her among the other passengers. Sakura turned around just as he reached her.
"Syoaran," she began.. " Have you seen tomoyo? I can't find her anywhere!"
Syoaran instantly turned a very becoming shade of pink, remebering exactly where Tomoyo was.
"She's.... um... with Eriol." he explained.
"Oh.." replied Sakura.
The two walked together to the dining room and ate their breakfast. Syoaran smiled as Sakura wiped her mouh on her sleeve. Looking up she wondered what Syoaran was thinking about.
A sudden shuddering of the ship ceased all pleasantries in the dining room as people quickly became agitated. Syoaran felt fear closing in on the people in the dining and grabbed Sakuras hand, leading her to the deck. The two looked on what was almost a replay of last night, but to put it simply, on a much larger scale. Waves crashed into the boat with amazing force, and it didn't take a genius to see that there was no way the vessel they were on could survive this storm. A loud voice was directing everyone to lifeboats. Sakura and Syoaran both ran towards Eriol and Tomoyos room. Neither were inside when the door was flung open. Next stop was Sakura's room. They weren't there either. Sakura rushed up the stairs, quickly followed by Syoaran.
The deck was desserted and only 1 lifeboat remained. Sakura jumped in and Syoaran lowered the boat. He leapt from the ship, and landed in the water next to the lifeboat. Sakura helped pull him in, and they both began rowing away from the boat, which was in the proccess of turning on it's side. Sakura scanned the ocean for any sign of Tomoyo, Eli, Chiharu, Yamazaki, or Naoko. Not a single sign of life could be seen. Sakura's eyes filled with tears that quickly spilled over onto her cheeks. Syoaran reached over and pulled her into a tight hug.
