NOTES: Well, obviously this is a Sakura + Syaoran [or is it Syaoran + Sakura?]. And many, man apologizes for not updating sooner….; GAAAHH!! Please enjoy reading this and review? And I'm super sorry if it gets really confusing because of their swapped bodies!! But you're a smart viewer, you can figure it out! ^__^-
"…"
"Syaoran??" asked Syaoran, rising from the carpet floor. Sakura kept her eyes on the floor, feeling the hair on the back of her neck prickling with nervousness.
"Sakura," mumbled the boy trapped in the emerald-eyed girl. "You see, this ring…aa…it's not from my mother. It's for -– this ring is for you." Taking the ring from its box carrier, she slipped it on Syaoran's finger.
"Hoe?" Syaoran reddened and stared at the glittering gems. "Me?"
"Yes. Sakura, I like you…very much," whispered Sakura, slowly. The Sakura in Syaoran was too stunned. I do too! She screamed in the mind, but the body she was encased in did not respond. But he did feel arms slipping around his waist, bringing Syaoran into an embrace.
"Syaoran?!" Syaoran was startled, and stared at the ring on his finger. Then felt the smaller girl nestle her head on his shoulder.
"I like you too much that…I think it's love," Sakura breathed. I didn't know my shoulder was so comfy…wait no! Snap out of it, what does Sakura think?!
"I…I love…you too, Syaoran," said Syaoran lowly, running his hand through Sakura's hair, pulling her closer into the sweet embrace as he closed his eyes.
"Sakura," the auburn-haired girl mouthed, lifting her head up. Syaoran looked down and was surprised to see the girl's hands pulling his face closer…closer. He felt his lids heavier, but snapped open when the Syaoran instinct whipped his head around. The smaller girl yelped and fell down on her butt.
"TOMOYO!!!" the chocolate-eyed boy lashed out.
"Saa, can't win 'em all," joked the brunette as she continued to film the favourite pair doing imitations of tomatoes and fluttering about. Sakura advanced to the camera and covered the lenses with her hand.
"TOMOYO!!!"
So after a short explanation to Meilin as the pair dashed off to Sakura's house, things started to look better. Even though rain was pouring like there was no tomorrow, there was a glow around the smiling faces of two special teens: Sakura and Syaoran. Sneaking around to the back of the house, the climbed up a tree and into Sakura's room, where Kero's voice could be heard battling the screen.
"Yes! Eat that!! Nononononono!! Wait, lemme attack you first!! Gaaaaaah!" As much as he tried, he can never beat that level.
"Kero! I thought you were suppose to be in England and ask Eriol-san for help!" exclaimed Syaoran. Kero muttered something and flew up to meet Syaoran's eyes.
"I know Sakura, but I wanted to beat that level first and, and--!"
"No excuses! We don't want to be trapped like this," huffed Syaoran, sitting down. "Remember when you and Syaoran switched bodies??"
"Yeah," mumbled the Guardian Best of Clow. "But the games were-"
"Pleeeeeeease, Kero-chan?" Syaoran whimpered going teary eyed and all. Kero stared blankly on it. "Syaoran! At least help me!" Nudging his partner, she scoffed and mumbled something incoherently and gave the same puppy look to Kero.
"Gaaah!! Cheaters!" Kero shouted. "Why do I have to this?" And he flew out the window.
"Great! Now all we have to do is wait," chirped the boy. Sakura just slapped her forehead as Syaoran happily bounced to his seat.
"Sakura, you'll know it'll take days for Kero-sama to reach England," she said.
"HOE?!?!"
So after many hours of playing Kero's video games, they decided that it was best just to go home and wait for Kero's arrival.
"Wait Sakura!" Syaoran turned around as he was about to jump out the window. "I'll walk you home. I mean, walk you back." Sakura grabbed a pink raincoat and pink striped umbrella [to her dismay] and climbed out with Syaoran. "It's late and…well, it's dangerous at night. And it's raining."
"Thank you Syaoran!" Syaoran chirped, giving her his best smile. He didn't see Sakura turning beat red.
It was a quiet rainy night, only a few cars driving quickly to get into warm beds. Sakura and Syaoran didn't have much to worry about cars, so they just crossed the streets openly. When the duo reached Syaoran's house, they just stood in awkward silence before the gate.
"Um…"
"Yeah…"
"maybe we should go around the back," said Syaoran, motioning towards the grassy lawn.
"Yeah, so Meilin doesn't wake up." The card capturing pair treaded across the lawn in the rain until they came under the appropriate window.
"You know, you didn't have to come here with me," started the cinnamon-haired boy. He stood underneath the tree of pink blossoms, shimmering with mystic in the rain.
"Yeah, but I wanted to…" Sakura said, toeing the ground. It had stopped raining drops of water and now rained petals of the wondrous pink flowers. "I love you Sakura." With that, she wrapped her arms around Syaoran's neck. "I feel so girly wrapping it around your neck. It should be you doing that."
Syaoran giggled, and in return, wrapped his arms around the waist of the former body. "Shut up Syaoran. I'm going to be doing that when we -- Syaoran?!" Syaoran gasped as the emerald-eyed girl pulled him down. She was slightly red, but Syaoran, hoo, he is red all over! XD
"Sakura," whispered Sakura, lining the jaws with her delicate fingers. Her sweet face neared her beloved slowly, eyes half-lidded. The cinnamon-haired boy did the same, drawn in by green aura that Syaoran was emitting from the inside. They sealed the space and the kiss was tender. Sakura petals showered and whirled around them from a phantom wind. It then ended.
"Syaoran?" said Sakura sleepily, opening her emerald orbs. Her arms were still perched on the boy's neck. "Syaoran? Syaoran!" Her voice was elated and she hugged him.
"Sakura?" It took a while before Syaoran realized what happened. He stared at the head nuzzling his chest and hugged her back. "We're back."
The lovely pair stood in the midst of sakura blossoms for what seemed like sweet eternal. It was then interrupted by none other than Meilin, who had stepped out because she forgot her shoes outside in the rain.
"Nani?!" said Meilin loudly. Sakura and Syaoran lifted their heads and stared at the source of voice, both blushing madly. The brunette sighed and placed a hand on her hip. "Get a room!" she said playfully, and retreated back in the house.
The couple stood there for a few seconds, still embracing, and cracked up laughing. While holding hands, the two made their way towards the door as it started showering again. A hand wrapped itself around Sakura's waist. The girl looked up and smiled at Syaoran, leaning on his shoulder, but it slipped away as they found out that the door was locked.
"Oh crap," cursed the boy as he strangled the knob for a while.
"It's okay, Syaoran. There's an awning over us, we can just sit out hear and wait till morning," she explained, placing her hand on his arm. He nodded and sat down in a dry spot, pulling his cherry blossom with him. She then called upon Firey to make a small fire to keep warm.
They sat like that, Sakura in his lap with Syaoran's strong arms around her.
"Sakura?"
"Hm?"
"Aishiteru."
"Aishiteru, Syaoran."
And they kissed.
