Okay, I know it's been a really long time, and I'm begging for forgiveness,
groveling really, pleeaaassseeee read anyways!!!! I didn't write anymore
because no one reviewed chapter 3, so I thought no one was interested, but
I have a sudden urge to write another chapter. *Ceremonially dances around
asking the gods for a muse and some luck* I promise this chapter will be
worth it. A little waft of lime, and if there are reviews the next will be
lemony goodness. Any advice? Spout at me I dare you *goes super deformed
and evil looking* MUAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Here it is:
**************************************************************************** ***
The water lapped calmly against the lifeboat, the oars lay inside and untouched. Neither Sakura, nor Syaoran knew where they were. What was the point of rowing when it might take you farther into the ocean? Sakura shifted uncomfortably in the chill of the late afternoon. Syaoran was barely containing shivers. His clothes had been drenched and the night had been long and cold. The sun had dried his clothes considerably, but the were still damp. He was tired as well, and felt himself nodding off to sleep. His eyes closed and he struggled to stay awake, he had to keep Sakura calm. Anxiety and exaustion battled angrily against one another, but exaustion won out, as Syaoran lost conciousness. His limbs sagged and he slumped further in the the little rubber dingy. Sakura felt herself begin to shiver violently as the afternoon gave way to evening. A few stars shone coldly out of the sky onto the two young companions, as Sakura shifted over, to rest against Syaoran. She closed her eyes and imagined that this was another one of their adventures.
/It's okay, he'll keep me safe, he's always there when I really need someone. Syaoran, I'm so scared. Where are all our friends? Are they okay? Will we be rescued?/ Her thoughts drifted as she fell into a deep sleep.
**************************************************************************** *
Sakura stood up in the boat.
'Syaoran!' she screamed, longing to hear his reply.
'Syaoran' she screamed again and again, each time the plea became more desperate. He wasn't in the boat, or the surrounding waters!
'Li Syaoran come back!!!!!'
Suddenly the boat began to rock and Sakura stumbled and fell to her knees. She struggled to sit up, but was pulled down by invisible chains, the same chains dragged her forward and into the ocean, pulling her down, under the crushing blue waves with inexorable force. She pulled at the chains, as her lungs began to burn, craving the air she needed to survive. Her throat burned as she tried to breathe in, taking water instead. Her nose burned as Salt water was forced out of her nostrils. She struggled fruitlessly, and darkness began to blur her vision.
'SAKURA!!!' yelled a voice so familiar, yet so far away. 'Sakura wake up!'
**************************************************************************** *****
Brilliant blue flashed before her eyes and Sakura vaguely recognized it as the sky. A face was also in her field of vision, it took her a moment to realize it was Syaoran.
"Sakura, it's okay, you had a nightmare. You woke me up, screaming my name." Sakura felt tears on her cheeks as she continued to cry, hot trails of them, flowed down her cheeks and dripped off her chin.
"I... I woke up..."she began"and... and you were... you were gone... I couldn't see you...." Sniffling Sakura continued the story. " So.. so I .. I stood up... And you- you weren't in the water either. I-I was yelling for you, but you....you didn't say any-anything. Then the boat, was, it shook. I fell down and.... and something pulled me underwater. I tried to get out but I couldn't, and you didn't save me. I was drowning, I breathed in water.... and it hurt so badly, I can't believe it was just a dream..... What if that happens Syaoran? What if you leave me and I get pulled in! Promise me you won't go! Please" Sakura sounded deperate, even to her own ears.
Syaoran felt himself give a sharp intake of breath as she recounted her dream. Finally as she begged him not to go, his breath was almost ripped from him. She needed him. He was needed, and he knew he was hers, to do with what she liked, whether she wished him to play the role of a friend, lover, or simply a protector. Syaoran knew without a doubt, he couldn't deny Sakura anything she wished. His arms circled her waist, and pulled her close to him, in a strong and gentlr embrace.
"I'm not going anywhere Sakura." answered Syaoran softly. She nodded against his chest and grasped at his shirt, until she fell back asleep, this time dreamless.
Syaoran looked up at the sky. He wondered what would become of them. Would they be found? And what would happen to them after that. He was Li Syaoran of the Li clan. How could he become the leader of the Li clan, and still be with Sakura, in Japan, for he knew she could never leave, she belonged there, just as water belonged in the ocean, the moon and stars in the sky. Her brother and father meant so much to her and all her friends as well. He could'nt ever ask her to go with him. He couldn't ever cause her that much pain. All of these thoughts were weighing havily on his mind as he spotted something in the distance. A faint ray of hope shone through as he shook Sakura awake. They were steadily drifting towards an island.

I know I know there was no limeness!!!! My sibling is bugging me to get off the computer, so I'll have to write the lime tommorow. I start school in 2 days so if you want me to hurry up and finish this story, I need some reviews!!!! *Dances around room throwing glittler.* Take that and smoke it... no don't, the glue on it's probably toxic....
