Chapter 34
I woke up to the sounds of morning with regained strength and energy. I was me
again. I was whole. Beautiful golden rays of sunlight flood my recognizable room
in Tomoyo's Mansion. I can guess pretty well that either Mr. Reed or my father
himself teleported us back here, along with the Averins. No use in flying again
for four days when you have two master magicians around.
"Good morning Lady Sakura!" Rika's familiar voice greeted me.
I rose from my bed and smiled at her. *Still looking the same and healthy* I
thought. "Good morning, Rika. I see you woke up on the right side of the bed
today."
"Oui! Try an' guez vhat happened yezterde before you came!" she asked excitedly.
I already knew, of course, because of my newly-regained mind-reading skills.
But, I played my part. "What?" I asked in the same excited manner (because I
really was excited!), "tell me!"
She smiled shyly and blushed. "Yoshi - Yoshiyuki Terada - came zhis morning an'
gave me a bouquet of flowers an' asked for my 'and in marriage!"
I immediately jumped out of bed as planned and ran to her to shake her hand and
embrace her. "That's great Rika! Congratulations!" I told her.
She hugged me fiercely and released me. She was crying for joy, I knew, because
of this news. I know that Tomoyo had already agreed to terms since Rika is really
overjoyed. "An' you know vhat?" she asked,
"What?"
"Lady Tomoyo is going to REALLY shower our vedding by letting 'er arrange my
gown an' pay for all ze fees!" she told me, still crying.
I smiled even more sweetly. "Don't forget me, I'll be your flower girl!" I
joked. She wiped away a tear and nodded her head in reply to my obvious joke (I
WAS too OLD to become a flower-girl anyway).
"I guez I should leeve you now, I'd better be going!" she said, waving her hand
as she closed the door. "'ave a nice day!"
I smiled and sighed after she left. I sat in front of the dresser and started to
comb my hair. *She sure had got her day right up!* I thought. Suddenly, there was
soft rapping on my door. "Enter." I said.
"Good morning Sakura." Syaoran's all-too-familiar voice greeted me.
I turned around to face him. "Good morning!" I smiled.
He walked over to me as I resumed by brushing. He put both of his hands on my
shoulders and put his head beside mine. "How does a visit to the Sea Park sound
like?" he asked.
I looked at him, kissed his lips lightly and embraced him. "Grand!" I said.
Later on, about mid-morning, Syaoran left with me to the Sea Park. He was wearing
a loose-collared white shirt, a brown vest and matching brown pants that were
held by a black belt. Me, I wore a white, short-sleeved top with around collar
and a long and blue flowing skirt and white shoes. As for my hair, I just let it
hang loose since it was on of those cooler days.
The Sea Park was just a few blocks away, north from the mansion. It was a natural
cove-made reserve that housed a wonderful array of fishes and corals. It is
world-renowned and highly praised. It is not housed in a building, but the
caretakers protect it with Magic so that they can grow in their natural habitat.
"Lovely." I said as I stared into the cove that had crystalline sapphire waters
and wonderful corals that made a wonderful, natural maze as you headed towards
the deeper parts of the ocean.
I felt Syaoran smile at me and breathe a good amount of air. "the air is good
too." He says.
We both look at each other and smile. We remove our shoes and Syaoran makes them
disappear magically. We weren't here just to look at this wonder. We were going
to go though the maze and into the deep. People were allowed to go swimming in
the water just as long they don't hurt the corals or any other marine life anyway.
We both laugh as me made our way through anemones, fan corals and brain corals
splashing water into the other's faces and trying to make the other fall.
It got even better when we passed the maze.
Syaoran and I swam through the water, racing each other and splashing water into
the other's face while we rise to the surface to get some air. We almost laughed
our lungs out when while Syaoran was taking in air, I suddenly push him towards
an incoming wave. Thoroughly energized, he chased me through the water and
tickles me silly when he finally caught me.
"I give up! I give up!" I shouted in between my fits of laughter.
Syaoran relaxes his tight embrace on me and just holds me close, looking at me
silently while smiling as I squeezed the final bits of laughter trapped in my
stream.
It was already sunset and it was beautiful to watch.
"I can't believe we spent a whole day here without going out of the water!" he
says softly.
I give out a soft chuckle. "I guess we were too occupied."
"look at my hands!" he said, raising his wrinkle-skinned hand.
"I never knew you cared!" I said sarcastically. He looks at me with a sly grin
and tickles me for a while until I hear his stomach grumble. "look... you...
must... be... hungry..." I said with a smile in between gasps of air.
He smiles at me. "I guess I am. WE haven't eaten since breakfast, you know." He
replies. Slowly, Syaoran lifts me out of the water and we fly to a nearby cliff.
Luckily for us, no one was there.
After a few moments of rest, I conjure up a small little feast. Syaoran ate
hungrily and I grew hungry too and decided to eat as hungrily as he was, but a
bit more carefully.
"I'm glad you're back." He said, after taking a nice drink of water.
I smile at him. The golden rays of the fading sun give him a handsome glow and
made his eyes more amber than ever. "I'm glad too." I replied. Syaoran moved
closer and we kissed long and deep. After that, we stare into each other's eyes
and then turn back at the fading sunset.
"You taste like roasted chicken with gravy." I told him as I was looking at him
with a giggle.
He turns to me and replies, "You taste like that too."
"That was my most favorite dish." I told him.
"Same here." He replies.
Silence.
We then burst into a soft laughter.
After stopping and taking a few rests by staring into each other's eyes, Syaoran
said, "I'm just glad you're back again."
