Congratulations to Midori iro and Chibi Quistis Almasy! They figured out who Jin Kazama was. He's from Tekken 3. And Tekken Tag. (Aila Just revealed she's a bit of a girl gamer) I'm surprised I didn't get a whole bunch more tries at it. Oh well. Congratulations again! Pity all these girls here and no one else knew one of the hottest guys in video games. *gets stars in her eyes* Like Squall. Squall Lionheart. Now he's hot. Even with that scar. His attitude reminds me of Shaoran. I played the whole FF8 just to see the movies of Squall. Its fun hooking 2 people up. Ohhhh. And back to Jin Kazama. He and Xioayu (I didn't spell her name right) would make such a great couple! (Aila doesn't realize she's gotten off topic) They are soooo cute together. Whenever I play Tekken Tag, my team is always Jin and Xioayu, and I have them in their school uniforms. *As Aila continues talking, mental hospital guys come and carry her away.* Hey! Whatcha doing! I'm sane! I'm sane! It was just a suggestion to any game developers to get some romance between the two in future games!
Shaoran: *Watches as Aila is carried away*
Sakura: "Its kinda sad, but maybe its for the best."
Aila: "Thank you everyone who reviewed the last chapter. Everyone gave me such great reviews that made me smile. ARIGATO!"
In case the Fanfiction.net Outage has made you forget....
Review on what's happened:
Since It may of been a while since you read this last time, I'll give you an overview about what has happened. (A little chibi Aila in a strait jacket pop's up and turns on a big TV) OK. Eriol came back, and at school he told my favorite couple about the latest cards he created, and how they escaped him and went back to the past right before the time of the final judgment with Yue. (the T.v. fast forwards, you can see Shaoran trying to strangle Eriol, then Sakura and him going through the time portal thingamabob) They come to the past right when the twin card is captured, and when Mei Lin goes back to Hong Kong! (hears cheers! Mei Lin won't be a bitch in the way of romance here!) Oh yeah, little past Shaoran see's older Sakura and Shaoran making out in the park, and senses their magical auras. Then latter that night, the younger card captors watch as two masked people capture a mysterious card that is not a Clow card! (T.v. shows the battle with the combat card.) Now little Shaoran recognizes their aura's right away, and knows they are the couple from the park. Young Sakura and the rest of the crew don't. Then wallah! (fast forwards to school next day) Surprise surprise! The school announces that there will be kendo lessons for the remainder of the semester! Ohhhh. But then ko-Shaoran (KO is another Japanese prefix added to names to show small version) see's the teacher's are the same from the capture last night, but are only hiding their auras! Ko-Sakura has no clue. (Aila gets little beady eyes and sweat drops) Ko-Shaoran ends up going against big Sakura in a kendo match, kicks her butt, and goes home. (Is now watching the scene where ko-Sakura runs up and congratulates ko-Shaoran on doing good in lesson. Rewinds and watches it again. And again.) Oh yeah, read on!
Chapter 6
Against Gravity - Kissing Privileges Removed!
**************************
"I still don't see why you couldn't spar with him. Plus, you KNEW he was going to kick my butt!"
Shaoran blocked Sakura's blow in a smooth, single motion as she continued to talk. All the children where gone now, and they where talking the opportunity to continue Sakura's lessons on swordsmanship/kendo.
"Yeah, I knew. So whats the problem."
Sakura's face turned angry in a cute way as she thrusted forward, this time aiming for his leg. However he easily evaded the attempt, and returned her a hit on her head.
"Why can't you go lightly on me even in a lesson! You know, I'd get a bit of satisfaction from actually hitting."
"How could you, Sakura Kinomotto, be satisfied with an action of violence?" he taunted.
"Hoeeeee!" she growled. She quickly moved forward and took a fast, swing from her side at him. He quickly jumped back, barely missing it. A look of surprise shown on his face.
"Almost, but not good enough."
Sakura ignored the put-down.
"Still," she took a step back and removed her wired helmet "you could of gave me a hint of the kinda stuff 10 year old you would of done in the match. He's just as unpredictable as you are now. I can't even begin to guess your next move is."
"I try not to keep a pattern while fighting. It would show a weakness to an enemy that would use it against me." He walked over to a bench and picked up a towel, and began to wipe the sweat from his face.
"Are you trying to tell me the great invincible Chinese warrior doesn't have any weaknesses?"
"That could be accurately assumed."
"Aren't we being a bit overconfident?"
He just shrugged his shoulders, and continued to clean up the equipment.
She walked over to him nonchalantly, and then before he could say a word, she was on him with a kiss full of passion. (A/N: Oh how I love doing this! ^_^ Kiss full of passion... hohohohoo ) Just when he was just getting into the kiss, she pulled away just as quickly as she came. Her previous smile was now replaced with one of satisfaction. 'That should of did it.' she thought. (A/N: Oh no! I made Sakura a minx!)
"No more kissing for 24 hours, Mr. 'I have no weaknesses.'"
"Wha..?" He was still in a daze from the abrupt kiss, and his face was a bright red.
"I said no more kissing for 24 hours!"
"Oh... WHAT!? But... you..."
"Hmmm?" She playfully smiled, waiting for an answer.
He finally found his senses, "How do you plan to stop me from kissing you?" He asked, arms across his chest, and an eyebrow raised.
"Two words." she sent back, now her arms where also crossed over her chest in imitation. A look of confidence all about her. "Shield Card."
"You don't have your wand out yet!" he called out while he began to run towards her, causing her to turn and run out the gym door that led outside. Shaoran followed in hot pursuit.
(A/N: I think I'm making this a bit too corny. Ewwwwwie.)
Shaoran sped through the doors, out into the quad, only to run into Sakura, knocking them both over. He caught her and she feel onto him, cushioning her fall.
They stayed there for a couple of seconds until Shaoran broke the silence when he asked "How close do you think it is?"
"Close enough to know we're here." She waited a moment more before she began to get up. 'It doesn't look like anyone is around, we'll just have to risk it.' She removed her necklace after determining no one else's presence, and began the chant.
Reveal your true form to me.
I, Sakura, commands thee under convert.
Release!"
(A/N: You have no idea how long it took me to find this. -_-' )
Her key went into a show of twirls and mist before her, then stretched out into a wand.
"Come out card! We know your here!" Sakura yelled, star wand now in hand. She could feel Shaoran already had his sword drawn behind her.
They got no response. They stood their for a minute, senses on high alert. No birds where chirping, and no breeze was blowing.
SWOOOSH!
Sakura snapped her head to her left where she sensed the card charge at them, but saw nothing.
Suddenly, she felt herself being pulled to the ground, and began to feel too heavy even to stand. She could even feel her hair pushed against her head from the weight.
The pressure began to increase, causing her to loose her balance fall back onto Shaoran.
"What is this? Gravity?" she muttered.
He only responded by placing an arm around her waist to help support her and keep her up. Unfortunately it seemed as if the weight increase wouldn't stop.
After a few seconds, it was obvious Shaoran was having trouble trying to support them both, she could feel his body tense up to fight against it. (A/N: Hoeeee. I think Sakura like's using Shaoran-sama as a cushion... poor Tomoyo is missing so many great scenes.)
'What can I use against gravity?' she thought, assuming it had something to do with it. Images of her cards started coming through her mind, not helping much. Right now she was regretting failing physics. 'I don't know if it will work, but...'
It took all her strength as she began to lift her wand.
"Float card, incase us! Float!" she yelled, and soon found herself along with Shaoran inside a giant pink bubble.
"Up!" on her command, it began to lift them in the air. They could all ready feel the weight lift from them, and Sakura sighed in relief. Whatever it was, it didn't seem to have an effect in here. Shaoran had now removed his arm from her, and was looking towards the ground.
"Sakura, look."
Sakura looked down to what her partner was pointing at. Down on the ground a brown mist was appearing and piled up into a pillar. Soon they could see the figure of a women in strait brown robes, a flat square cap, long flat hair to her feet, and golden slits for eyes emerge from it. (A/N: Don't ask me where I get this stuff, I have no idea.) Once she was formed, she started to grow larger, and larger.
Shaoran began to remove a scroll and place it out before him...
"King of Thunder, come fo-"
"No, don't! Thunder will bust the bubble!" Sakura yelled, grabbing his arm.
Shaoran looked at her with an empty expression.
"Sorry." he said gruffly.
Now the card seemed an easy 8 stories tall. It came closer to the bubble, causing Sakura to order it to move away from the card, however to no avail. As she began to speak, the giant card lifted a hand high into the air. A look of hatred showed on its faces as it smacked the bubble with a hit full of strength, sending the bubble flying at a plummeting speed.
Spaloosh!
Sakura looked around after the water went down. They had landed in the lake at King Penguin park. She looked up to see the card speeding towards them through the air, stretching out to reach them.. "Float! Go under the water! Now!"
Float complied, however a second later they heard another splash, and through the murky water they could then see the form of the card appear, rage still on its face. However, Sakura noticed it's form was no longer solid, but now very transparent. 'It almost looks weak..'
"Watery card! Release and surround that card! Float, go to the card!"
The Watery's form slipped through float without a problem, and approached the card, the card captors following. Watery surrounded the brown figure, and began wrapping itself around its body.
The card was now thrashing about, trying to remove itself from Watery's clutches, but it wasn't able to break from her grasp.
Sakura came right up to the two, and raised her wand.
The card stopped its thrashing and looked to Sakura with contemptment, causing Sakura to hesitate for a moment as she lifted her wand.
I command you,
Seal onto me!"<
As she said the last word, she swung her wand down and met with the other card, and as she did so the bubble burst, and water surrounded her. As she began to loose consciousness, she could feel Watery's presence about her.
**************************
"Sakura. Sakura, wake up."
Shaoran had her on his lap, her upper body supported with his arms.
Watery had been quick and automatically rushed them to the shore, gently placing them both on the sand.
She opened her eyes to meet Shaoran's worried burnt-sienna ones above her. (A/N: Can everyone say "Awwww?")
"Did it work?" she asked as a spasm of coughs erupted from her and she sat up.
He gave her a small smile of relief, and showed her 3 cards. Float, Watery, and a new one. Gravity was written across the bottom.
"I'm impressed. You guessed the cards identity."
She began to stand, only to fall over and once again black out. Shaoran moved fast and caught her before she hit the ground.
**************************
Shaoran had made it to the apartment, all the way from Penguin park, carrying Sakura. Both where soaked and wet, which caused a lot of odd looks from people when he couldn't avoid them. He guessed they didn't see a wet guy carrying a wet unconscious girl everyday.
'She used a lot of magic.' He had began to carry her to her bed. She had fainted of exhaustion, both physical and magical. As he laid her on her bed, she began to shiver.
'Oh great. She'll get sick if she stays in those clothes...' He looked down to her shivering figure.
'Wonderful, just how am I supposed to go about doing this?' he thought, clearly not comfortable with the idea.
"Come on Sakura," he leaned over and began to tap her cheek with his hand. "Wake up and spare us both total embarrassment."
(A/N: In case you haven't figured it out, she's gonna have to get out of those clothes, no matter what. *Aila is grinning evilly* Wonder how much I should make him suffer...)
She mumbled something about him and turned to her side.
'She dreaming about me?' he stood there thinking for a moment.
"Come on Sakura, wake up!" He gave her another nudge. This time a bit more forceful.
"Kero-chan. Leave meh aloone. I'm sleeping. Food later..."
It was now known to him that the stuffed animal bugged her about food while she slept.
He began thinking of ways to get her to wake up, and an idea occurred to him, of course.
He leaned over, pinched her nose shut so she couldn't breath through it, and kissed her.
After a few seconds after her oxygen ran out, her eyes flew open, and she quickly pushed him off of her.
"Shaoran! I told you no more kissing!"
"It wasn't kissing, it was mouth to mouth recessitation." He gave her a innocent look. "You looked like you weren't breathing."
She eyed him suspiciously, not sure about believing him.
"Anyway..." he started "you need to change out of those clothes before you catch cold." He turned and walked out of her room.
**************************
Shaoran laid in his bed, staring at the ceiling. (A/N: An unfamiliar ceiling! Hehehe. Anyone get it? Just another reference to another anime.) He was now shirtless, but wore dry pants.
His door cracked open, and her figure crept in. She came on the bed and wrapped her arms around him, laying her head in the hollow of his shoulder.
"I couldn't sleep." she whispered, listening to him breath. "Can I sleep here with you."
"All right, you big baby." he commented while he kissed her forehead.
"Hey! I said no kissing for 24 hours. You still have a good 19 hours left!" She pouted.
**************************
n the other side of a mirror:
Shaoran: "She's talking to herself again."
Sakura: "Well, the doctors said she'd do that..."
Back in the pillow room:
Aila: "It took me a couple days to figure out what card to use. And to come up with one. I'm still not satisfied with it. Bet my physics teacher would laugh at me. Gravity card. Ha! But hey, look! Another chapter! So no complaints! Have to have the little ones in the next one. I missed them.
