Chapter 13 Party Time!
Keetra looks at the festively decorated rom around her and laughs in enjoyment. It had been nearly a day since they returned from defeating Stimp and the celebrations haven't died down one bit. She and Arcanemon had remerged and any injuries were taken care of upon their return. In the meantime, all charges had been dropped from Eriol, so he and his guardians are in attendance at the party, as well as Sakura, Syaoran, Tomoyo and Kero.
Keetra sighs deep as she finally accepts a fact that has been true for nearly one rising and setting of the Earthan sun.
"It's finally over." She whispers, seating herself on a cussion, content to watch the crowd for a while.
She takes a sip of the sparkling cider in her glass. There are alchoholic beverages available of course. K alchohol, not human, though really there is no discernable difference. Keetra had never taken a liking to these though. Besides, she had no reason to cloud her senses. She made due without such things. She allways had.
Keetra looks through the crowd at a certain auborn-haired human. Sakura seems to be enjoying herself. She talks, she laughs, she smiles at the right moments. Keetra sees past her illusions, however. She knows Sakura still feels troubled about what she has done. Keetra pities the girl but there is nothing she can do. Some lessons, she had learned, have harsh aftereffects.
At Sakura's side is Syaoran. By looking in his eyes, she sees he is having a struggle of his own. The nervous hand in his pocket betrays his intensions to her.
"You are in this position again, Li Syaoran. How will she answer this time, I wonder." Keetra mutters in amusement.
Her eyes and thoughts drift back to the girl whose name could not fit her better. She shales her head sadly.
"She smiles, but she is not happy."
Keetra turns to her Kinta, who has come to stand behind her.
"She laughs, but she is not amused." Keelah continues. "She looks, but she sees not what is around, but behind." Keelah meets her friend's eyes. "The girlhas not fully recovered yet."
"No. She hasn't." keetra replies evenly. Looking back at whom they are discussing.
Keelah looks as well.
"Do you think she will?" she asks.
Keetra nods.
"Oh, yes. She just needs time to learn this hard lesson." Keetra closes her eyes tightly, reaclling words her own teacher had taught her. "To take a life before its time. . . that is a terrible thing. But to prevent countless lives form being stolen beofore ther time? Such a task is beyong all gratitude for it is acknowleged in silence. It is beyond words, and beyond repayment. It is done without a second glance or thought. But these deeds carry a hard price on the victor, for the blood of the victim cannot be washed away by any cleaner. It stains your very skin and buries its way deep into your mind. It haunts your thoughts and dreams until your lifeline draws to an end." Keetra pauses, noticing the data pad in her friend's hand. She gives a small smirk despite her recent speech.
"Only you could be working while there is a party."
Keelah holds up the pad, as though remembering that she is carrying it. She hands it to Keetra.
"Just an interesting memo I came across."
Keetra takes it and skims the contents. Her faces falls.
"When?"
"About 7 minutes ago. It was sent to the Counsel. Kklun was courteous enough to send it to us as well."
Keetra gives her old teacher a silent thanks as she finishes reading the data. Her hand drops to her side.
"He is dead then." She states flatly.
She turns to her frined.
"What shall be done with his remains?" she asks.
Keelah shrugs.
"What can be done with dead vapor?" she says, lightly. "The S Counsel has asked for them. Our Counsel has no reason to deny them their right to bury their dead." Keelah looks at her kinta's face. "The S dispose of their dead in black holes. Sloota will no longer be a problem."
Keetra closes her eyes in satisfaction.
"It is finally over then. For once, I can breathe the fresh air again."
She downs the last of her cider in aproval.
"NANI?!?!?!?!?!?!"
The loud, japanese exclaimation silences all conversation in the room. All eyes are drawn to the human group as Tomoyo gives a look of hurt disbeleif to the heavily sweatdropping Sakura.
"T-Tomoyo-chan." Sakura stutters.
"You mean you created a new kind of magic and your wand changed?" Tomoy practically screaches. "Cardcaptor Sakura-chan merged her magic with Li-kun's to to destroy her foe and she was not wearing my newest costume?! Iie! And I couldn't tape it either." She drops to her knees as even Eriol feels a sweatdrop running down the back of his neck. "Demo, it would've made the perfect movie. I am in the depths of the deepest despair. Nothing can make me happy now that I have missed this chance."
Sakura sweatdrops heavily as she tries to think of a way to calm her traumatized friend. The fact that it is in front of a large group that is staring at them makes her even more embarrassed.
"Daijobou."
Sakura turns to Keetra as she walks through the parting crowd.
"You've done it before, so you can do it again, Sakura."
"D-demo, I don't remember the words." Sakura stutters nervously.
"That doesn't matter. For that kind of magic gthe spell needs only be said once. All you need now is Syaoran's sword, your wand and your cards. Just hold the wand and the sword together, say release, and it shall happen again."
"D-demo." Sakura starts but Tomoy cuts her off by jumping to her feet with starry eyes. (:: fast recovery, ne? ::)
"Honto? (really?) Oh, this is a dream come true!" she turns to her friend. "Sakura-chan, please, you have to do this. Do it for me? And for your adoring fans around the world? Onegai?"
Sakura sweatdrops hard sincer her friend is about an inch away from her face, stars burstinf from her eyes. She casts a nervous glance back to Syaoran. He has removed the pendant from his neck and is waiting for her acceptance. Sakura sighs, takes a step away from Tomoyo and takes the star necklace off her neck. Tomoyo lets out a squeal of joy and whips out her camera without needing to fumble through her purse for it.
Sakura and Syaoran call upon their weapons. Syaoran turns and hands his sword to Sakura, who accepts it with barely a nod. Putting the two together, she raises them abover her head. The magic circle appears.
"Release!"
The pink and green threads wrap around the sword and wand and transforn it again into the metal sword. Tomoyo is nearly in histerics as she zooms in for a closer shot of the beautiful weapon.
Sakura lowers the sword and holds it gingerly in both her hands. Her eyes look at the blade as though searching for blood, a snip of clothing, any kind of evidence of what she had done a day ago, but there is nothing except clean, sharp metal. It was like it never even happened.
Syaoran and Keetra watch her intently as Sakura runs her left hand along the sharp blade. Both of them are wondering the same thing. What now? Salura is at a critical stage to either recovery, or no recovery. Keetra has seen many in this stage. She knows there are two ways Sakura can go from here. She can accept what has happened and move on with her life. However, she can just as easily turn the blade around and choose to take her own life instead of living with the memories. But which would she coose? The anser depends on this moment, the facing of that deed, the weapon that struck the fatal blow. Even Tomoyo seems to realize the tenseness she has caused as she lowers her camera slightly. Eriol just watches in stony silence as well as everyone else in the room.
They all let out a silent sigh of releif as Sakura looks at Syaoran and smiloes. The familiar glow is starting to return to her eyes.
"Sakura, can you do something for me?" Keetra asks, breaking the ice.
"Nani?" Sakura asks, turning to her.
Keetra points to the centerpeice of the food table and raises her voice slightly so that every ear in the room can hear.
"Can you use that sword of yours to make the first slice of that chocolate cake over there? After alol, it is the reason we are celebrating." She asks, emphasizing the words chocolate cake.
Sakura smiles wider.
"Hai." She says, turing to cut but stops as two voices peirce the air.
"Cakie?!" Kero says popping out from the pudding table.
"Chocolate?!" keelah says, turning just as she ws about to walk out the doorway.
The two fly over to the table with the accused cake and grab the top plate at the same time. They look up, sending death glares at each other.
"Get your paws off my plate, stuffed animal." Keelah growls.
"Iie. The first piece of cake is mine!" Kero wines.
And the tug-of-war begins.
"Get off you possessed bear."
"Iie. The great Keroberos will never be beaten to the first piece of cake!"
"Not this time. Now give it to me!"
"Iie, iie. Sakura-sama, help me!"
"Pitiful. Looking towards your human for help."
"Oh I should show you my true form and rip you into pieces."
"Go ahead. You think I am scared by that ugly kitty you call a form?
"Why you little. . . ."
The whole room laughs at this argument but also at one little thing. Unknown to the arguers, Sakura had already cut the cake and distributed some of it out. There are only two peivces left, on their own separate plates.
"Kero-chan."
The arguers stop and look at Sakura. She points to the two plates.
"Which slice do you want?"
throwing a victory look at Keelah, he lets go of the plate to examine the slices. He leans down and picks one up high above his head.
"This one's bigger!"
"Greedy little pig." Keelah and Syaoran mutter.
Kero doesn't seem to hear since he is too busy eating. Keelah mutters to herslef as she picks up the last slice and leaves the room.
"Damned teddy bear. He should know better than to mess with Keelah Dem." She keys open the door to her klat sees another slice of cake on the table. She walks over and picks up the note next to it.
"I know how much you love chocolate.
Keetra."
Keelah smiles then chuckles. The chuckle turns into an evil cackle.
"Silly stuffed animal. Who is the victor now? Nyahahahahahahahahahaha!"
~*~*~*~ Back at the party ~*~*~*~
The party is definitely winding down. Many have left and the ones still here are just standing around and finishing the last of their chatty gossip. Some are too drunk to leave and will spend the night on the couches to be escorted home in the morning. Syaoran's hand fiddles yet again in his pocket.
'Ok, Xiao Lang, it's alright. You just go iver there and ask her. Why would she say no? all you have to wirry about is her brother punching you into pudding and then that stuffed animal setting you on fire after biting your head off.'
Syaorans shakes that last thought out of his head then puts on a determined face.
'Alright. I'm gonna do it.'
Getting up from the chair, he walks over to Sakura, who is sitting in the now-empty stage, staring at nothing.
'Well, here goes.'
"Sakura?"
Sakura turns to him.
"Oh, Sayoran-kun. Gomen ne. I didn't see you come."
"Daijobou." He pauses. "Sakura, I . . . I have. . . something to ask you."
Sakura smiles.
"Nani?"
"Will you. . . . ano. . . ." Sayoran stops, loosing confidence looking into those emerald eyes.
'CUMMON, XIAO LANG! JUST SAY IT! IT'S FOUR LITTLE WORDS. HOW HARD CAN IT BE?!' the little voice in his head says in a not-so-little of a voice. (:: I hate when that little voice yells. Don't you?::)
Syaoran sighs then drops to one knee in front of Sakura, taking her left hand in his.
"Kinomoto Sakura . . . . will you . . . will you marry me?" ha finally asks, takig the engagement ring he had been fidling with all day out of his pocket and slipping it onto her finger. Sakura looks down at it speechless.
Syaoran had had it specially made. It was 16ct gold with a white gold cherry blossom flower. In the center of the flower is a 8ct diamond with a rainbow cut.
Sakura looks down at it in total, speechless shock. She finds a little of her voice after a few stunned seconds.
"Syaoran-kun." She whispers, still in shock. "I-I dunno what to say."
Syaoran smiles, reading the answer in her glowing eyes.
"Then don't say anything." He says, drawing her into a gentle-yet- passionate kiss.
A thumping noise nearby draws their attention. (:: sorry peeps but it aint their hearts!::) It seemed to come from behind a nearby plant. Giving each other a quizical look, they pull aside the branches. Tomoyo is there, camera clutched to her heart, fainted in a heart attack.
~*~*~*~ End of chapter 13 and end of Eriol: Good or Bad? ~*~*~*~
Keetra:: -leans back and grimaces as she feels and hears her back crack about 5 times- youch. I was more stiff than I thought. But it was worth it. I FINISHED IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Woo hoooooooo! Yea!
