The Pallet of Love By Ruby Hime
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.--.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.- Chapter Two:: The Meeting of Hope -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.--.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
Sakura spun around as she stared at herself in the mirror, the skirts of her dress flying about her waist. Tomoyo looked at her admiringly as she spoke. "Sakura-chan, it suits you so well!" her eyes filled with stars, and Sakura smiled.
"Thank-you, Tomoyo-chan, it's almost as I am back in the fairy world!" Sakura thanked, smiling back at her friend. "Oh, it's great. I love it!"
Sakura twirled once again, the light silver ankle-length skirt swirling around. Sparkles laid around the skirt almost seem to glow as it glistened in the light of Tomoyo's bedroom, a thin layer of a see-through white cover laid over the skirt, still letting the silver show through.
The connected shirt was a v-neck and was cut modestly enough, but let a strong view of Sakura's beautiful throat and the base of her neck. The sleeves were long and had a transparent fabric of white puffed around them. There was also a white sash around Sakura's thin waist and shaped hips, clipped together with a sliver cherry blossom pin.
A pair of glass slippers hugged her small feet, and a thin, chain, necklace lay around Sakura's neck. Two, silver, cherry blossom earrings hung from each ear, as did a thin chain hang from the earrings. And two finish it off, Sakura's two, natural, silver-pink fairy wings flowed from her back.
"It's such a relief to let my wings out." Sakura sighed, "I'm so glad you made this out-fit, Tomoyo-chan. Thank you so much, my wings needed it." She glanced at her friend curiously. "Do you have a dress for you, like this? I know you need to stretch your wings too!"
"Hai, I did make myself one Sakura-chan." Tomoyo smiled. "If you don't mind, I better go change into my costume. We should be leaving soon!"
Sakura nodded, "Hai!"
Tomoyo took her costume, which was almost exactly like Sakura's, except in a violet color and the flower design was of a lilac. Sakura smiled, thanking her friend once again, this time silently.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
Syaoran snorted at Meiling. "Why did we have to dress up?" he whined to her in a growl.
While placing red lipstick on, Meiling replied. "The invitation asked to 'please make the party fun and dress up'."
Syaoran winced in disgust. 'It won't add fun; just let everyone have the chance to be freaks running around in a costume. These Kinomoto's are beginning to get on my nerves.' Blushing, Syaoran remembered the beautiful girl. Her. dressed up? Shaking his head, Syaoran curse himself. 'You're so stupid! You just met her, you freak.' He conscience hissed at him. 'If you're not careful, you'll scare her off. Act cool!'
Syaoran was about to slap himself until Meiling chimed she was ready, and showed herself to Syaoran. She wore a traditional red Chinese dress, which was cut just above her knees, and was decorated with black and gold prints of the yucca plant. To finish is of, she wore a pair of red Chinese slippers.
He, Syaoran, wore his own traditional green robes, with long dangling sleeves, and a gold trimming at the end of each of them. He then had on a pair of pants and, like Meiling, a pair of Chinese slippers; but green. [A.N.: Like his Cardcaptor battle uniform, when they fight the Clow Cards :)]
"Come Syaoran, we're going to be late if we don't hurry!" Meiling screeched, grabbing her cousin by the hand and rushing out the door the limo. Syaoran looked dazed, by followed behind aggressive Meiling.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
The announcer opened the door for Sakura and Tomoyo, and the ten year old girls stepped out onto the red carpet, on Sakura's view, which she did shyly. "Let's welcome the youngest daughter of the Kinomoto family, Sakura Kinomoto, and the daughter of Sonimi Daidouji, the famous toy marketer, Tomoyo Daidouji!"
The crowd burst in loud cheers while cameras for the papers flashed and video cameras recorded, excluding Tomoyo's, as the two girls walked down the carpet in unison.
As they entered, Sakura noticed a large amount of people seated at the banquet table, some Sakura even noticed as celebrities. Everyone looked at them and began say in awe how beautiful both of their costumes were and how beautiful they both were. The girl thanked them shyly, but polite, and walked onto the stage.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
Syaoran watched in awe as the girl from the streets walked in the banquet and up the microphone. 'So she's a Kinomoto. Sakura what it?' he silenced his thoughts as the girl greeted the guests.
"Bonjour, everyone!" she smiled, and Syaoran felt himself melt in his seat as the crowd greeted Sakura back.
"Well, as you know, tonight you will be seeing a famous love story about how two twelve year olds named Stephanie and Sean fall in love, even though Sean was already engaged to someone else." The crowd awed to the sweet story, most of the women having tears well-up in their eyes already.
"And, even though we've just started eating, we'd like to start this movie now." Tomoyo said gently, and the guests clapped in response as the lights dimmed and a huge screen lit up, and then the movie started.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
Sakura sat down, Tomoyo on one side of her, and a boy about her age with messy auburn had and gorgeous chocolate brown eyes. Sakura smiled at him, the glitter on her cheek shining in the faint light of the moon glimmering through the windows. "Hello Sir," she whispered to him, and he turned to her.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
Syaoran heard an angel whisper to him, "Hello Sir." At first, he felt to hiss at her for interrupted him from the movie, which had just begun. But then, he noticed it was her, the fairy.
Syaoran blushed and stuttered a hello, which made he smile again. "What's your name?" she questioned gently.
"S-Syaoran Li." Syaoran replied.
"Hannaya! Your name means 'Little Wolf', does it?" the girl questioned, the cuteness of her look of curiosity overwhelming Syaoran.
"Y-yes," he agreed. "How did you know? Are you Japanese?"
She bobbed her head in the most kawaii way to Syaoran, and he had to smile. "Hai!" the girl said.
"What is y-your name?" Syaoran stuttered to her.
"Sakura Kinomoto." Sakura smiled, her emerald eyes glimmering just as the sparkles on her face.
"Cherry Blossom?" Syaoran asked.
"Hai! My Oka-san named me. Her name is Nadeshiko."
Syaoran chuckled, "Kawaii." He said simply, and found himself blush, as did Sakura.
"Arigato, Li-kun. You're too kind." Sakura thanked him, even though grace of her presence was almost enough for Syaoran.
Syaoran blushed even more, "N-no problem," he said, feeling the heat in his cheeks.
"Well, I'll stop bothering you now, Li-kun." Sakura smiled, and turned to the movie.
Syaoran almost begged her to keep talking, but then found him self loving to stare at her angelic figure in the faint light of the movie. He then diverted his attention to her glistening wings. 'Could they be real?' he thought to himself, but then decided to forget about it for now. All he wanted was to see Sakura's beautiful face, after all.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
Sakura smiled as the Stephanie and Sean neared in a kiss. Suddenly, she found herself imagining that Stephanie was her, and that Sean was Syaoran. Sakura blushed. 'Sakura,' she thought to herself. 'You just met him. He probably doesn't think of you as anything but a friend.' Yet, some other voice in her mind told the exact opposite.
Tomoyo glanced over at Sakura, turning on her video camera as she filmed her and Syaoran. 'Kawaii.' she thought, holding a giggle. 'Looks like I'll have to play cupid for them. Ah, kawwaaii!' Tomoyo mused, placing a hand to her cheek as she still filmed the two lovers.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
As they walked out of the Kino Theater's banquet, Meiling blushed happily. "Ah. that movie was so great! Kawaii."
Syaoran raised an eyebrow to her, "Meiling."
"Ne, ne, and you met a new girlfriend, Syaoran!" she giggled as Syaoran's face turned red, right down to the roots of his hair.
"I-I did not, Meiling!" he said, almost pouting.
Meiling grinned in her evil way, "Sure, Syaoran." She giggled again. "You two are so kawaii! And I'm sure that Daidouji-san saw the chemistry between you lovers also." She nudged him playfully, causing Syaoran to turn many different shades of red.
"MEILING!" Syaoran shouted, just as Bruyere came running up, screeching Syaoran's name.
Syaoran groaned, and this time, Meiling didn't even bother to elbow him to be polite. "Sir Syaoran, who was that girl you sat by?!" Bruyere pouted, glaring at him.
Looking startled, Syaoran replied. "What's it to you, Bruyere?"
Bruyere puffed air into her freckled cheeks, her red hair almost seeming to flame up into actually red gases of fire. "Sir Syaoran," she hissed through gritted teeth. "We will talk about this girl later, no? But first, my Mama and Papa would like to invite you two to lunch tomorrow. Is that alright?"
Meiling suddenly shook her head, "Please excuse us, but we cannot attend the lunch your parents have invited us to. I am dearly sorry. We were invited to lunch and tea at the Daidouji's earlier. If you'll excuse us now."
Syaoran looked surprised as he and Meiling walked off to their limo. 'Lunch? And tea?'
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
"Yatta, you two are so kawaii!" Tomoyo giggled.
Sakura felt heat rise to her cheeks, "Hoeehh, Tomoyo-chan!"
Tomoyo giggled again, brushing her long strands of violet hair. Sakura folded her arms on the bed, resting her chin on them. "Tomoyo-chan," Sakura said, looking over at her friend. "When do you think are we going back to the fairy world?"
Tomoyo stopped brushing her hair, and set the brush, beginning to braid her own hair. "Well," she started. "We will probably stay here till your Oto- san finds employees for the Kino Theater. Which, might be," she paused, glancing at the calendar that hung on the pink wall of Sakura's bedroom. "Probably about three to four weeks."
"Hannaya!" Sakura said excitedly. "Then that means we have enough time to take a look at all of the shops and art museums!"
Tomoyo smiled, "Hai, we can!" blinking, she suddenly remembered something. "Oh, Sakura-chan, would you like to have lunch and tea with me and the Li's tomorrow?"
Sakura jerked her head up, a grin pasted to her face happily. "Hai, hai!"
'Yatta, Sakura-chan and Li-sama will be together in no time.' Tomoyo thought, smiling at Sakura. "Alright then, Sakura-chan, we'll go together!"
"Arigato, Tomoyo-chan." Thanked Sakura.
"You're welcome. Oyasumi nasai, Sakura-chan."
"Oyasumi nasai, Tomoyo-chan."
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
Meiling clapped, smiling widely. "You look wonderful, Syaoran!"
"Not really." Syaoran said, looking at his tall, strong, figure in the mirror.
"Nonsense," Meiling winked. "Kinomoto-san will love it!"
Syaoran blushed, looking at his clothes once again. He wore a casual kind of wear, with a pair of kaki pants, a white Polo-collared shirt, and a pair of loafers to end it all off.
Meiling wore casual clothing also, with a black jumper, a brown t-shirt under that, the same type of brown tights, and black and gold-buckled shoes. Her hair was also let down out of its usual style, and was held away from her face by a single clip, that was decorated with a line of golden flowers.
The cousins headed out the door and to their limo. "This is going to be fun!" Meiling exclaimed happily. "And you can show Kinomoto-san how well you can paint, she'll be impressed!"
Syaoran blushed slightly. He knew he was great painter. Heck, he was almost on the edge of becoming a famous one. He was already known through-out his town on how well he could paint. Before he would know it, all of France, then Europe, would know about him and his paintings. Someday, at least.
Piling into their black-limo, Meiling's face pasted with a gigantic smile, and Syaoran with a slight smirk, which quickly formed into a smile as he spotted the Daidouji's house: with Sakura and Tomoyo running out to greet them.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.- Sakura raised the skirts of her pale, pink, dress as she scampered down the steps and driveway, waving slightly to Meiling and Syaoran. The almost- pearl white pink ribbon was pulled around her slim waist and into a bow just above her behind, and it fluttered in the wind that her running had created. Tomoyo also wore a dress, except in a lilac color, and instead of a knee-length skirt (like Sakura's), hers was bearing down at her ankles.
Smiling mischievously, Tomoyo winked to Meiling, without Sakura or Syaoran's notice, and Meiling winked back also. Clasping both of her hands together in joy, Tomoyo smiled warmly. "Konnichiwa and welcome to my home! I hope that everything went well with your ride, Li-san, Li-kun?"
"Hai, Daidouji-san." Meiling smiled. Syaoran only gave a smiling nod, as he continued to stare at how adorable Sakura looked in her dress.
"I'm so glad, Li-san and Li-kun!" Chirped Sakura, in her happy-like attitude, Syaoran blushed as he saw her smile at him and Meiling.
"Well, let us go inside now. I'm so thirsty I could die!" Meiling said, shutting the door behind her and Syaoran, and letting the limo drive away with a wave.
Syaoran shook himself from his thoughts and nodded, as they had begun to walk inside.
A boy with fluttering blue wings smirked from the tree tops of a willow that sat in the front yard. "So," he hissed. "MY Sakura-chan is being taken to love that stupid wolf-boy? Well, we'll see about that now."
He pulled out a flute, and grinned, then flying off.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
HOOEEEHHH?: Is Sakura really a fairy? Will Syaoran ever find out? And just who is this fairy-boy, anyway? Find out, in Chapter Three!!
