A new beginning - chapter 4
"Back to Japan"
Coco cookie: wat? Only 6 reviews so far? NOOOOOO! Oh god . . . doesn't anyone like this story?! Oh well, lets get on with it. So . . . they got back to Japan eh? Hmm. . .
Key (I'm sick of writing this): words in braces are thoughts. Da starry things indicate a new setting.
* * * * *
"Hoe! You mean we slept in the same room?" Sakura shrieked. She clutched the blankets even closer to her.
"Yep you did, " Tomoyo replied cheerfully. "Eroil and I took all the other rooms so you two to share this one." Then seeing Sakura's pale face, she said, "Don't worry - it's not like he did anything to you. He slept on the floor last night - not in bed with you."
Sakura sighed in relief. [I should have known Syaoran would have been so thoughtful.]
Tomoyo frowned slightly. "Still . . . I would have preferred it if you guys did something. It would have been so romantic." She paused, waiting for the scream of protest - only to hear silence. Sakura was completely puzzled over what she had said. Scratching her head in a most adorable way, Sakura looked at Tomoyo with her large, green eyes.
"Can you repeat that please?"
Tomoyo practically fell off the bed. "You know . . . bed, sleeping - you sleeping with Sayoran on a bed-"
"HOE! Tomoyo! You're so gross!"
Tomoyo sweatdropped at how long it took her to get it. Then handing over a dress she had packed, she told Sakura to change. "Luckily it's a Sunday - when you go home, Touya won't think a thing."
"I hope so, " Sakura replied. "Hey Tomoyo. . . "
"Hai?"
"When did Syaoran leave?" She had woken up in the morning with Syaoran gone - and Tomoyo by her bedside.
"Um, 5 I think, " Tomoyo answered. "I had gotten up early because I couldn't sleep, and just at the same time, Syaoran came out of your room and left. Eroil also went some time ago."
"Do you know where they are?" Sakura asked. She meant Syaoran in particular as she wanted to thank him for his help - she had learnt that he was the one who had carried her here, and also had been so respectful toward her. [I can't believe he slept on the floor just to let me keep the bed. He didn't even use any of the blankets either.]
"He wouldn't tell me where he was going to live - he didn't really know himself. And for Eroil . . . he's just probably going to be wherever Li-kun is."
Pulling on some socks as the last piece of clothing needed, Sakura sighed. She didn't know why, but she already missed Syaoran. [They might not even have a place to stay - poor them . . . What if we won't meet up again?]
Suddenly the door flung open. "You won't believe the stack of food they've got in the kitchen!" Kero exclaimed as he flew into the room. "It's like total heaven in there!"
* * * * *
"Sakura! You're back!" exclaimed Touya has he practically flung the door off its hinges.
Sakura smiled - as much as he was overprotective, she still had missed him. "Hai onichan."
Immediately he grabbed one of her arms and began checking it thoroughly for any injuries. Then in a flash, he grabbed her other arm as well.
Sakura sweatdropped. "Touya . . ."
Suddenly Fujitaka came down the stairs - seeing Sakura, he smiled broadly. "Welcome home Sakura," he said in his calm, soothing voice. Sakura immediately ran in, and as he held his arms outstretched, she fell into them for a hug.
"Otusan . . ." Sakura sighed happily.
Closing the door behind him, Touya commented, "So how was the dance?"
"Hoe?" Sakura jerked up. [What can I say? Good? Bad?] She could feel her face reddening; she hated lying - not to mention the fact she wasn't good at it.
Touya saw her hesitation. He raised his eyebrow, "Well?"
Suddenly the phone interrupted the moment. "I'll get it," Sakura practically shouted as she hurriedly went to answer it.
"Moshi moshi?"
"Ohayo Sakura" It was Tomoyo who had rung her. "Have you - know - who suspected anything?"
"Well . . ."
"I'll take that as a no. Anyway, I just got a costume ready for you and it would be perfect if we went to capture the card!" (Sakura could just imagine Tomoyo fiddling impatiently with her video camera)
"Hoe! That's right!" Sakura replied - she had completely forgotten. Her whole mind so far was on other things; actually just one - if Syaoran was all right.
"And I'll take that as a yes. Come quickly to the park with Kero o.k? I'll meet you there."
* * * * *
"My inspiration came from the cards hair - I loved the way it was so spiked and pinkish!"
Sakura sighed. Tomoyo's new costume was a hot pink dress; it had rainbow- ish stripes and was rather tight and rubbery. [At least she didn't want to do my hair as well] Sakura thought thankfully as she moved around in her new clothes. As outrageous as it was, Tomoyo still always made the outfits comfortable and quite efficient.
Making sure that no one was around them, Sakura walked toward the pink barrier - at the same time, Tomoyo positioned her video camera. Sakura then took out the magical key from her neck. "The key that hides the forces of stars, show your true shape to me! I, Sakura, command you under the contract! Release!"
With her staff in her hand, she raised it and shouted, "Loop return!" Immediately the power that had been surrounding the park collapsed and was sealed into its card shape.
"Now lets find the card and seal it!" Kero exclaimed energetically. (He had on a rubbery, pink shirt to match Sakura's outfit)
Sakura wrapped her free hand around the amethyst stone that she had placed in her pocket. She had found the gem lying on the table in her hotel room that morning. [Syaoran probably left it for us - he knew that we'll need it.]
The park was still as gratified as it was before - even worse actually. Not one single space had remained its natural colour. Then suddenly the silence was disturbed by a high-pitched giggle - the colour came out, smiling mischievously.
"Whatever you do, don't let it touch you," shouted Kero, "being touched by its magic may be dangerous."
Sakura nodded. Then seeing that the card was coming her way, she drew out the windy. "Windy! Attack colour!" Immediately the windy charged toward it - but just at the same time, colour waved its wand and unleashed a burst of colour (Woah! Colour releasing colour - doesn't that sound confusing?) .
While trying to hit it, the windy scattered the colours everywhere - and also missed its target.
Sakura bit her lip. The colour was too quick - she watched hopelessly as windy tried its best to catch up with colour. Realising that this was no use, Sakura made the windy return.
The colour began giggling again - like as if this whole thing was a fun game. It then flew to the far end of the park, waiting for Sakura to catch up.
Suddenly Sakura struck an idea - she drew out two cards, and shouted, "Dash! Grant me your speed! Power! Unleash!"
With this new strategy, she immediately was able to reach colour in just a few seconds. Then before it could get away, Sakura held her staff high and struck it down.
The blow was tremendous and the colour immediately fell to the ground - Sakura smiled triumphantly. Then just as she was about the seal it, the colour suddenly attacked. It raised its wand and managed to just brush Sakura's arm before she could react.
The arm that had been struck was the one that held her staff. Immediately her pale skin turned a dark blue and stiffened. Sakura gasped; her whole right arm was totally immobile and the staff soon fell from her grip.
Hurriedly Sakura reached out for it with her left arm - but instead, had to dodge another attack from the colour. The colour couldn't move from its spot on the ground, but was still able to aim with its wand.
[Who would have ever thought this would be so hard!] Sakura thought as she tried to move closer toward her staff - only to be nearly fired at again.
"Sakura I'm coming!" Kero shouted as he began flying toward her in hope of helping her out. Only he didn't see that the colour was about to fire at him - but Sakura did. Quickly she pushed him out of the way.
[Great - I'm totally defenseless without my staff] Sakura winced a she fell onto the hard concrete. [And there's no way I can even get to it either.]
Then as if her thoughts were heard, a sudden bolt of lightning came streaming down and struck the Colour. With all its energy totally gone because of that last, unexpected move, the colour immediately became 'temporarily dead'. (Like pokemon when they get hurt; they become all swirly-eyed and seem dead - except they're not)
Jumping down from his place on one of the nearest trees, Syaoran landed neatly beside her.
"This is one of the most easiest cards to capture Sakura - I have no idea why you had so much trouble with it," he commented with his eyebrow raised. Then he glanced over her 'abnormal' blue arm with an amused look on his face.
Turning red with embarrassment at his rather scorning words, Sakura hurriedly defended herself.
"Well you could have helped me you know! It was much harder then it looked - and the only reason why you had the chance to finish it off so easily is because I already weakened it!"
He just shrugged. "Just seal it already Sakura."
She sighed as she went over to fetch her staff. Still underneath her agitated expression, she couldn't help but feel extremely happy that they did meet up again. While raising her staff, she suddenly halted and looked over to Syaoran. [Wow . . . I can't believe he's so handsome]
"What?" he said abruptly.
Sakura smiled [He even looks cute when he's annoyed]. "Thanks for helping me and Kero out-"
"You're thanking him?! That brat?! And who said I needed help anyway?!"
"When did pink become your colour? And what's with the shirt that looks like a rubber band?" Syaoran taunted as he glared at Kero.
"Heh!" Tomoyo cried almost in tears, "I spent hours working on his 'rubber band' shirt - don't you dare offend my hard work!"
Sakura could feel her eyes becoming all swirly. "Anyway Syaoran-"
In between the glaring & insulting competition with Kero, he interrupted. "No big deal."
Disappointed at his reply, Sakura felt the smile fall from her face - hurriedly, she tried her best to ignore it. Holding her staff over Colour, she chanted, "Spirits of the dark forces, I, Sakura, command you. Return to a new shape of contract! Sakura card!"
Instantly, her arm returned to its normal form - and a new card floated over to her; the colour was against a rainbow with sprinkles around it. Sakura swooned over its cuteness - at least this way it seemed so less naughty and not a bundle of trouble. When Tomoyo looked at the card, she said, "I really do admire Cow Reed - he comes up with the most amazing costumes and hairdos for his cards."
* * * * *
Just as he was about to leave, Sakura saw him. "Syaoran!"
"What is it now?" he sighed.
"Have you and Eroil found a place to stay?"
He ran a hand through his messy hair. "Yeah, I spend the whole day looking. Eroil was no help - lazy bum."
"Where are you staying?"
"Must you know everything about me?" he replied as he folded his arms.
"Hoe . . . gomen. I was just worried that you guys didn't have a place to stay, " her voice trailed off as she began digging her foot around in the dirt.
Syaoran's eyes softened. [She cares this much about me . . .] He wanted to say something comforting, but he just felt so uncomfortable. There was an awkward silence between before Sakura finally spoke.
"Will you be coming to Seiju High (who da hell made them go this skool and not the other one?) with us?" she asked hopefully.
The fading sunlight set off her beauty as well as it did in the moonlight; Syaoran felt himself totally drawn into her emerald pools (who eva came up that? I'm only using it since I'm sick of calling it 'eyes')
"Well, I don't know yet." Then seeing her sad expression, he sighed. "I'll try to go there o.k?"
Immediately Sakura smiled; bright and warmly - like as if she had captured the sun and joy in her lips. As he looked at her, Syaoran could feel the familiar feeling again. He wanted to grin, he wanted to laugh, and he wanted to be happy. But there was something else too - something he had felt many years ago, something that he had thought was gone, but it was still there.

Coco cookie: Wanna noe why I rated this thing as PG 13? Well it's cause there is a bit of swearing (or colourful language - doesn't that sound so much more creative?) and a bit of that sorta '+_+' idea. Sorrie to those people that may be sensitive to that stuff - don't worrie though, this will not result in a lemon ^_^.
I find lemons gross and rather boring to read / write. I mean, how can you enjoy yourself writing about such stuff? ! No adventure . . . no actual storyline . . . just a story about two people's experience in bed.
Personal requests can be made to my email: mmm_lotsa_chocolate@hotmail.com. And my site is at http://www.angelfire.com/anime4/anime_freak2/home.html
And about the feeling Syaoran had, it is not one of those 'sexual stimulation' things to those gross people out there who might think that. Let me just introduce it as 'love'.
NOOOO!! I just gave it away : (
Coco cookie: wat? Only 6 reviews so far? NOOOOOO! Oh god . . . doesn't anyone like this story?! Oh well, lets get on with it. So . . . they got back to Japan eh? Hmm. . .
