"I wish I could have taped it," Tomoyo rambled
pointlessly. They were trying to break the tension that had built thickly
in the room. Kero turned suddenly and flew to the window. Tomoyo was about
to ask what was wrong when she saw Sakura slip gracefully into the room.
"Sakura!" Tomoyo and Kero yelled in unison as they ran up to her and gathered her in a tight embrace. Sakura smiled and hugged them back. Kero looked over her shoulder at the man behind her.
"Sakura," He asked, breaking the embrace. "Who is that?"
Sakura suddenly came back to reality. "Meet Syaoran's father," she said proudly turning to him. Then she realized what she had said and started searching the room with her eyes. "Where is he?" She asked with a bit of worry evident in her voice.
Tomoyo looked into her eyes with reassurance. "It was too much for him to be here." She said. Sakura now looked even more nervous. "He said you would know where to find him." Tomoyo finished.
Sakura smiled. She obviously knew the place. Then looking back at her friends with a pleading look she asked, "Do you think. I hate to leave you now. it's just that," Desperately trying to find the right words.
Tomoyo cut her off saying "We wouldn't want you to keep him waiting." She said with a smile.
"Thank you" Sakura said as she turned to window and Syaoran's father. With a quick glance behind her she took to the air again.
Syaoran felt something soft press against his cheek. Then he heard her voice. It sounded so angelic. He willed his eyes to stay closed in fear of waking up and finding it was only a dream.
"Syaoran," the voice said clearly this time. "Wake up Syaoran. I'm back and I have someone with me who is eager to see you."
He slowly opened his eyes to find Sakura smiling down at him. Without thinking he sprung up and hugged her tightly.
"Thank god" he said quietly into her hair.
"I told you I'd be fine," she replied softly.
A sound of someone attempting to suppress laughter was heard behind them. They turned to see Syaoran's father standing watching them.
"Oh I'm sorry," he said noticing he had disrupted them.
"Sakura," Syaoran sweat-dropped. "You mind telling me who this is?"
"Hoe!!!" She replied in her trademark phrase. "I almost forgot!" She broke the hug and dragged a confused Syaoran with her over to Syaoran's father. "Syaoran I'd like you to meet your father."
"Sakura have you lost it? This man is not my father." Syaoran stopped short upon looking in the man's eyes. "It's. not. possible" he continued slowly.
"It's been a long time Syaoran," His father looked down at him. He smiled and Syaoran looked as though he was breaking. Sakura pushed him into his father's arms.
"I've been watching you," his father said "I'm glad to see you've grown up into such a fine young man." All Syaoran could do was stare in awe. He felt his father slip something into his jacket pocket. "And I don't think you could have possibly made a better choice in a girlfriend" he said so only Syaoran could hear him. Syaoran blushed. His father stepped back and looked at his son approvingly. "I hate to do this, but I must go see the rest of the family." He said reluctantly. All Syaoran could do is nod. It was obviously a big shock for him.
And in a flash of light he was gone again. Syaoran walked in shock over to the park bench. He felt Sakura sit next to him and lay her head on his shoulder. She sighed and he noticed her aura was a bit weak. He knew she had used a great deal of effort with whatever she did. But she had somehow had enough energy to come to him. He stared up at the stars thinking about his father's return. Suddenly he remembered the object his father had slipped into his jacket and he fumbled to retrieve it.
He pulled out a small box from his jacket. He felt Sakura stir in interest as he opened it. Inside lay two small teardrops that seemed to be made out of glass. Instantly Sakura sat up. These were from the ice that had surrounded the Shaka's daughter. She closed her eyes and she could feel the presence of each of the magicians in them.
She opened her eyes again and examined the teardrops. One was attached to a necklace and the other was attached to a pin. Sakura took the one with the necklace and Syaoran took the one with the pin. As they looked at each of them closely they noticed a small red heart suspended in the ice-glass. Sakura put the necklace on and Syaoran put the pin on his shirt.
Syaoran felt a sudden urge and he pulled Sakura into a passionate kiss. As their lips met the heart within each of their pendants glowed a bright red. Sakura barely noticed the glow; she was so lost in the kiss. It surprised her that Syaoran could put so much into a kiss. She could almost feel his love flowing through her. As they broke the kiss the glow faded but still shone warmly. Syaoran looked up and suddenly turned pale. In front of them now stood a spirit of a woman. Sakura looked up but she felt no threat from her and remained calm.
"Hello," The woman said. Her voice echoed slightly as she talked "I am the spirit of the hearts you now poses. I am here to tell you the story of them"
"Why do they glow?" Sakura asked calmly.
"The hearts are created to show true love. They are made of a material that was lost long ago. It is known as the love stone."
"I don't think she can hear us," Syaoran told Sakura. "Reminds me of a recording." Sakura nodded and again turned her attention to the woman.
"Once activated by a kiss of true love the hearts will shine until the love is extinguished by death or other circumstances. Since magicians created it, it also will alert the other holder of the stone if one of them should become in danger. There are also other uses of the stone. But these are meant to be discovered by the owners. All uses have yet to be discovered. May your love shine forever." The woman bowed and disappeared.
"This day just keeps getting weirder and weirder," Sakura yawned. "I'm tired Syoaran, can we go back?"
He seemed to think deeply for a moment and then as if a lightbulb suddenly blinked on he came out of it with a smirk on his face. He stood up and in one swift move picked up Sakura in his arms.
"Syaoran you can't possibly carry me home, I know you're tired." She started to protest, but her cut her off by putting his finger to her lips. She blushed and abruptly stopped talking.
"Think of going home," he said. Sakura stared at him like he was insane. He pointed to the pendant now pinned to his shirt. She realized what he was doing. "Might as well try them out." He said
She hugged him tighter and closed her eyes. Syaoran began to wonder if he could really get his mind to think of going to her house, let alone anything other than her in his arms. With a bit of effort he forced his mind to think of her room. He envisioned the postcards, the bear he gave to her, the bed she slept in and the scattered pictures around the room. Soon he felt his chest become increasingly warm and felt a light engulf them.
