Camp times two
*Chapter 18: Camp two, Day eight*
~*~ Flashback ~*~
Yukito peeked in, "You guys just wo."
"SHUT UP!!"
~*~ End Flashback ~*~
The counsellors called a meeting that afternoon, after allowing them to sleep. Most of them were still half-asleep, Sakura in her pink bunny pyjamas, Tara, Lara and Kara in their tank tops and track pants, Syaoran in his green pyjamas. And, of course, there HAD to be someone who was asleep, namely, Xi Long. Yes. STILL. No matter how much crap his brothers beat out of him, he still remained in the afterlife.
Touya started explaining, "You guys know about the Sports Meet day after tomorrow right? Today is just for briefing, and for you to rest after last night. Tomorrow is devoted to training. You guys should already know what events you're in. Naoko and Rika have been picked to do the commentating. There is also another event, other than the ones mentioned, so that you guys have the chance to learn how to do something WELL while short of time, which is diving. You guys have to somehow or other find time while training to figure out some fancy-pansy dive for a girl, a guy and another for both together. Eriol has been picked to represent our cabin for the judging of the dives and is begged to not be biased."
After that, it was decided that Tara and Xi Ling would do the diving. Rika and Naoko were commentating, Eriol was judging, Lara and Kara couldn't bear to defile themselves by touching Xi Lang and Xi Long out of battle, vice- versa, Syaoran would blush hard enough to evaporate all the water, Tomoyo insisted on being left out of it so that she could video-tape, Fuji was too damn tall (he's the tallest amongst them and they needed a pair of similar height), Meiling insisted she didn't have enough stamina for more than one item, the idea that Chiharu would kill Takashi before the competition came close to starting was widespread, Sakura had seen her swimsuit and begged not to have anything to do with this, for her items were first, and this was last, and she wanted to be out of that tiny thing as soon as possible, Satoshi and Ryu were afraid of Xi Ling's wrath as Tara was the only girl left, plus, those two were a couple already, enough said.
They left the two to their devices and set Lara and Xi Lang on guard to make sure they don't.*meaningful pause*.sidetrack too much.
While the four of them remained in the living room planning, the rest drifted off to their own stuff. Tomoyo decided to play dress-up, using none other than Sakura as a doll, Nakuru was creaming Touya at arm wrestling, Yukito was watching his best friend get trashed, Syaoran and Eriol were on their couch playing video games, Chiharu was assaulting Takashi with a pen for telling someone one of his tales, Meiling and Fuji had hooked up a Dance Dance Revolution to his room's TV cos Meiling had challenged him, calling him uncoordinated, Rika and Naoko were occupying themselves with making rather a large cake, Satoshi and Ryu were busying themselves with the seemingly large bowl of chocolate frosting the two girls had given them to keep them out of their faces and Xi Long was STILL asleep and Kara was the only left to drag him to his room and try to get him awake.
Halfway through digging through bags and closets for outfits, she got an idea. She grabbed what she could (the bags and several random stuff from the closet), dragged Sakura across the corridor into the guys' room and shoved everything, including Sakura, into the bathroom. As Syaoran lost due to the distraction, she gave a sweet smile, "Don't mind us."
She then went out and grabbed all the girls she could. Naoko and Rika were still baking, so they couldn't leave, Meiling was dragged right off the DDR mat, Fuji tailed after demanding that his opponent be returned, but was then pushed onto the couch and made to sit there, Takashi was given the same treatment, but because she had grabbed Chiharu mid-pursuit and he was following her kissing her feet, Xi Ling and Tara were still planning, Xi Lang and Lara still had to play babysitter, Kara was currently whacking the still-in-the-otherworld Xi Long with a steel chair (no wonder he's still out), Nakuru was interrupted as she was laughing manically at Touya who was banging his head on the table crying and getting his right arm treated by Yukito (it doesn't hurt from muscle strain or anything like that. It's from getting slammed onto the rather hard table repeatedly) and agreed willingly to go.
So, now, she had four dolls to play with, Nakuru, Chiharu, Sakura and Meiling. She gave the boys a warning glance, as if daring them to get off the couch at great risk to their personal health, before herding the girls into the bathroom and then going in herself.
*After a while*
She emerged, wearing a dark grey tube top and fitting dark grey pants and a dark purple asymmetrical knee-length skirt, "Konnichiwa, minna-san. I present to you, Cabin 6's summer collection!"
As if on cue, Nakuru burst out of the bathroom, spinning in her maroon/white butterfly shaped top and a long flowy maroon skirt, her hair tied into a high ponytail with a sparkly maroon butterfly clip flapping around wildly. She stopped in front of the guys, curtsied rather bouncily and went back in.
Chiharu came out next in an off-the-shoulder white shirt with puffy and short sleeves and a pair of purple hotpants. She followed Nakuru's path, swung around and winked.
Fuji started nudging Takashi suggestively until Meiling came out in a black sleeveless cropped top and a cream/pink mini skirt. Then, all he could do was stare.
Sakura came last, in a white V-neck T-shirt and a denim mini skirt. Her pink floral bikini showed under the low neckline, the bow swinging as she bounced. What she wasn't aware of was that with every bounce she took, Syaoran turned a shade redder.
This carried on; Tomoyo came out in a deep purple swimsuit with the neckline plunging to the waist. Nakuru came in a strapless maroon one-piece and an asymmetrical translucent skirt, her hair tied into a high ponytail with a white ribbon. Chiharu came in a blue bikini, the top was rather a narrow tube top and the bottom low-cut and boy-cut, with an ankle-length sleeveless white coat. Meiling emerged in a red/gold tankini, the top was red with gold edges and the bottom vice-versa. Sakura didn't come out, well, willingly, at least. Her face was tinted red as she screamed and she struggled, but the four other pushed her straight toward the guys. She couldn't gain balance, and had to keep moving forward to avoid falling. Poor unfortunate Syaoran got full blast of the tiny bikini as she fell onto him into rather a compromising position. They finally got her off and noticed two things. 1) Her bikini top was stained with blood across the middle. 2) He was unconscious, his face red and blood was streaming from his right nostril in a steady flow.
When the flow stopped and he awakened, he found them sitting in a circle. Tomoyo noticed this first and said, "Good you're awake. Come join us. We're playing strip truth-or-dare. It's the same really, except that if you don't do a truth or dare that's given to you, you have to remove one article of clothing. The only rule is no hats, socks, shoes, etc. And all dares to be done after the game is over."
Syaoran's eyes widened in horror, "GOD ALMIGHTY! NO WAY IN HELL AM I PLAYING THAT DEVILISH GAME!!"
He tried to scramble away, but caught Sakura's puppy eyes. He sighed, for there was no resisting, especially if she turned on the waterworks.
(Remember that the last person who was asked is the next person to ask. Confused? A asks B truth or dare. After B does the truth/dare/penalty, B gets to ask the next person)
Tomoyo went first, "Meiling, truth or dare?"
"Truth"
"We know you've got a crush on somebody. Spill."
*Blush*
"Or at least a clue."
She smirked, "It's a boy."
"Duh. That is so obvious."
"No, I could be lesbian for all you know."
"OK. Fine, fine."
"Fuji, truth or dare?"
"Dare."
"I dare you to french the cat."
"What cat?"
"That one." She pointed to the black kitten with the white paws, snout, tummy and tail tip on the window sill, "Syaoran, be a nice cuz and fetch it for me."
He grumbled and picked the cat by the scruff and held it at arms' length to avoid the claws.
"EEK~! NO SYAORAN! POOR KITTY! PUT IT DOWN!" This was Sakura. Syaoran then gladly dropped it onto Sakura's lap. She immediately started stroking and tickling the cat, crooning, "Nice Yumi-chan. Good Yumi-chan."
Syaoran stared at her like she was some sort of freak, "Yumi.chan?"
"Yes Yumi-chan" She resumed tickling the kitten on her lap, who seemed to be enjoying it all.
Fuji resumed the game, "Eriol, truth or dare?"
"Dare."
"I dare you to steal the girls' cake, when it's done."
"Consider it done." He caught the tiny wink Tomoyo flashed him, "Sakura, Truth or dare?"
"Um.truth, then."
"You like someone, we want details."
"Eep."
Somehow Yumi sensed something was bothering his new mistress and snarled at Eriol.
"Ha. Well, you know the penalty."
She sighed, then lifted the sweater over her head, revealing a black tank top with a VERY low neckline. Syaoran blushed and looked away.
Yumi seemed eager to upset Syaoran. He started rubbing himself against Sakura's tummy, subconsciously (or not?) revealing some of that tanned flat stomach underneath.
"Stop it, Yumi-chan. It tickles. Chiharu, truth or dare?"
"Truth."
"You and Takashi are the oldest couple here, having been together since elementary school. What got you together?"
(I am making this up. I have absolutely no idea about how they met)
"Well, it was kindergarten and we were in the same class. He was the guy always telling his stories, and I never believed them, and somehow disliked him. Then, one day, it was raining and we were the last two left after school waiting for out parents. The teacher waiting with us had gone in to go to the toilet. I was playing with a small rubber ball. Eventually, in bounced out of the porch into the rain. I ran out to get it, slipped and scraped my knee. Takashi helped me up and begged his mom, who had just come, to take me home to get my knee fixed. At his house, she taped up my knee and called the school to get my mom's number. I was crying then, and to cheer me up, he gave me his teddy bear."
"KAWAII!"
*MEGA sweatdrop*
"Tomoyo, truth or dare?"
"Dare."
"I dare you to dismantle that camera of yours and throw them over the fence onto the highway."
Tomoyo shrugged, "Fine by me."
Chiharu stared in shock, but Sakura, next to her whispered, "She's got a cupboard full at home, if you want to know. And she always bring five spares when she goes on long trips."
Tomoyo then smiled slyly, "Syaoran, truth or dare?"
"Dar.er.TRUTH! TRUTH! I WANT TRUTH!"
"Too late. Haha. Dare it is. I dare you to kiss Sakura later in front of my camera."
"GAH!"
Tomoyo glared at him in a way that made him forget all about the penalty. As he glanced in the general direction of Yumi, he caught an evil glint in Yumi's eye that said 'I don't like you and I'm gonna personally make your life a living hell'.
He yelled, "Sakura, you are SO getting rid of that thing that moment Fuji's dare is done. It's evil, godammit, evil."
"Silly Syaoran." She tickled Yumi under the chin, making him purr, "Nobody's getting rid of nobody. In fact, I think I'm gonna keep him."
"Keep.him?"
"Yes."
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO~!!"
Syaoran's voice carried through the entire cabin and Touya poked his head in, "What's all that noise about?" He caught the same glint in Yumi's eye as Syaoran did, "Um.Sakura, you don't intend on keeping that.that THING, do you?"
"Yes, I do. And why is everyone calling him a thing? He's Yumi-chan."
"Excuse me." Touya closed the door behind him and.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO~!!"
This time, it carried through out to the highway, turning heads. Touya went back in, about to scream at his sister, but Nakuru beat him to it. She leapt up and glomped him as she hadn't for half a week.
An evil grin flashed across Syaoran's face, "Oh, and Nakuru, I dare you to stay there like that until he has to go to bed unless he's going to the toilet or something like that."
"Oh, I've got to pee."
Nakuru just hung on tighter, "Oh, you're not going anywhere, mister. Not unless you want me to tell everyone, about how many times I beat you at arm wrestling in less than two seconds."
"Meanie."
Fuji then frenched Yumi, and almost got the tip of his tongue bitten off in the process, Eriol stole the cake, and got chased around the entire cabin four times before shoving it into Ryu and Satoshi's arms. They then went to the edge of the woods, next to the lake and the fence that divided the camp from the highway. Tomoyo borrowed Syaoran's Swiss army knife, dismantled the camera, after removing the tape first, of course. One throw was all it took. A car skidded, and you could hear the driver yelling, "CRAZY KIDS!" Tomoyo just giggled and extracted her spare from her bag, replacing the tape. She then pointed it to Sakura and Syaoran, "Your turn."
As Yumi leapt out of Sakura's arms to chase after a rat, our fave couple felt a blush creeping up, turned every shade of red under the sun, then passed out simultaneously. (Kawaii, ne?)
Syaoran was the first to wake up, staring into Eriol and Tomoyo's I'm-so- evil-to-my-cute-descendant/best-friend-by-playing-matchmaker smiles. "Did I tell you have to kiss her on the lips?" they chorused. The blush crept up, his nose started bleeding, and he passed out again, all in three seconds flat. (I just ADORE bullying them. OHOHOHOHO ^O^)
Half an hour later, he woke up, fortunately, to Sakura's worried face, instead of E+T's evil faces. Tomoyo dragged him to his feet, while Eriol guided Sakura to the spot in front of him. Then Tomoyo jumped in front of them and started filming. They turned to look at each other. Amber and emerald gazed into each other. They felt blushes creep up. As they leaned closer, their blushes turned into darker shades of red. They both didn't exactly want to do this, because they thought that it would ruin their friendship. The moment their lips met, Eriol shouted out, "And you have to stay there for ten seconds!"
During those ten seconds, they each did a bit of thinking of their own. ^Syaoran is so warm. ^ Hoooooee! What am I thinking? ^ But it's true. ^ Are you that little voice-at-the-back-of-my-head-thing? ^ Yes, and I'm here to stay and you can't do anything about that. You like Syaoran, you like Syaoran, you like Sy. ^ Hoooooee. I'm stuck with the irritating conscience.^
But hers wasn't the only one. ^Her lips are so soft, may as well enjoy this. She's probably gonna hate me after this. ^ How are you so sure? ^ Well.um. ^ See? You don't know! I tell ya, she likes you. It's so obvious, the way she smiles at you an' stuff. ^ Now, how are you so sure about that? ^ Alright, so maybe I don't know. After all, I am you. What better way to find out than to ask? ^ But.but.then, I'll have to tell her I like her. That'll totally ruin our friendship. ^ Well, since you already said your friendship will be ruined after this, no dif if you tell, right? ^ Yeah, but. ^ Wut? Is weedle Syaowan a weedle scawed? ^ NO I'M NOT! ^ Then I DARE you to tell her. ^ Fine! I accept the dare! Right after I'm done with this one! ^ Fine by me. ^ Man, two dares at once.^
"Nine.Ten!" The two broke apart. After they caught their breath, Syaoran whispered, just so that Sakura could hear, "I've kinda got something to tell you."
"Me, too."
"You wanna go first?"
"No, you go first."
"Well, um.Sakura, ya know, when I first met you, how I was this cold- hearted anti-social? Well, now I've changed, because.of you. No matter how mean I was to you, you always tried to be my friend. And, well, what I'm trying to say is, I've fallen for you over the time I've spent here in Tomoeda, and.I.I love you. I'll understand if you don't feel the same way, I mean, you being so popular at school and all, I won't be surprised if you already have a boyfriend, I." He was stopped by Sakura's finger on his lips.
"Shhh. Don't say that. I was reserving that spot for someone special, someone I could spend the rest of my life with, and that person is you. I love you too." They then melted into each other's arms for another kiss, but were interrupted by a loud "KAWAII!" obviously from Tomoyo. Everyone sweatdropped.
(Hahaz. Did you notice? This whole fragment is from CCS Messenger Chapter 2. I thought it would be kinda cool.and I couldn't think of a way for S+S to get together. Hehez. And no, it is not a huge cut and paste job. That would be too sian. You see, ff.net uses Tahoma10 and I use Arial12. That would make me have to do a LOT of editing. And I lost the docs when my diskette kena got virus from one of the school coms) (BTW, ignore the bits and pieces of Singlish I use here and there in the Author Notes) (Singlish is basically English with a LOT of Singapore slang)
The sweatdrop evaporated with a "YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY~!" from Touya. Apparently, he had FINALLY flung Nakuru off and was now dancing the merry jig on a rock in the lake.
Until Nakuru leapt up and glomped him, causing the two to fall into the lake.
*After a while, back in the cabin*
Syaoran's arm hardly left Sakura's shoulders after that, and that made Yumi VERY upset. He scratched and clawed, which in turn made Sakura very upset. So, when he accidentally gave Sakura a large gash on the leg instead of Syaoran, he stopped. Meanwhile, Sakura and Syaoran were discussing none other than Eriol and Tomoyo. The two acted a lot like a couple, but insisted that they were just friends. (They're not a couple anymore remember? After that fateful game of truth or dare, only S+S remember that they were once together) After a while, they devised a plan to get them together, and get back at them at the same time for embarrassing them.
They found the two schemers sitting in the kitchen, very bored, having accomplished their latest mission to get S+S together. Suddenly, a shout of "Time, Maze, Mirror, Create, come to my aid!" was heard, and they disappeared.
*Within Maze*
Eriol and Tomoyo landed in a VERY uncomfortable and compromising position. They scrambled off each other relatively faster than S+S ever have and saw 'Sakura' giggling.
"Alright, Mirror. Why in the fourteen hells are we in Maze?" Eriol asked.
"Sakura's getting back at you."
"Wha-" He thought for a moment, then realized something, "Ha. Fat hope."
"Oh, I don't think so. And apparently, Sakura doesn't either."
"Whatever. I still say fat hope. Anyway, we deserve at least something close to an explanation."
"That's part of why I'm here. You see, she combined Create and me, which enables me to create whatever supplies you may need. And with Time, every day you spend here will be a minute in the real world, and every half a second there will be an hour here. All you have to do is get out of Maze." She smiled sweetly, and they started walking.
*Back in the real world*
Sakura and Syaoran raided the fridge, and feasted on chocolate while he tended to the gash on her leg. After three minutes, Tomoyo and Eriol appeared again, hand in hand.
"You guys sure took long. Three days."
"Yeah well, WE didn't have a magic bell created by Clow. Anyway, I guess we should thank you. But we'll have our revenge, THAT you can be sure off."
Sakura's left eyebrow moved upwards considerably, "Oh? And I suppose you've got a plan."
"No, but I'd appreciate it if you put that chocolate down and clear off. We need to get scheming." Tomoyo started pushing Sakura and Syaoran out the door.
The rest of the day went as usual (try defining 'usual'. You'll find it rather difficult, as a different thing happens to them everyday).
So, how'd you like it? I'm a bit anxious to end this, to start on the sequel. It's gonna be SO cool. And I suggest that you try to read/watch Gensomaden Saiyuki, Juliet Marillier's Daughter of the Forest & Son of the Shadows, Harry Potter, Vandread, You're Under Arrest, Sabrina the Teenage Witch, The Princess Diaries, The Princess Bride and Fushigi Yuugi, but the main thing is Gensomaden Saiyuki. Ja ne!
Disclaimer: Hiz. I'm in a good mood. The TV juz got fixed yesterday and now I can bask in the glory of the Saiyuki bishounen. That and watch Vandread, which, I believe, is beginning to take over as my fave anime. Hehez. Anyway, on with it. I don't own CC/CCS and any other thing I don't own.
BTW, is it true that there's a Gensomaden Saiyuki OVA ALREADY?? And if anyone noes when the hell (And WHERE the hell) Saiyuki (both 1 and 2, if you please, and if there IS a 2) and Vandread OVA1 and OVA2 VCDs (Not DVDs. I dun have a DVD player and I'm not sure if DVDs play on my com. 'Sides, VCDs are cheaper) come out in Singapore, and where they sell Ah! My Goddess VCDs, pls review or e-mail. Domo arigato!
Camp times two
*Chapter 18: Camp two, Day eight*
~*~ Flashback ~*~
Yukito peeked in, "You guys just wo."
"SHUT UP!!"
~*~ End Flashback ~*~
The counsellors called a meeting that afternoon, after allowing them to sleep. Most of them were still half-asleep, Sakura in her pink bunny pyjamas, Tara, Lara and Kara in their tank tops and track pants, Syaoran in his green pyjamas.

"Truth"
"We know you've got a crush on somebody. Spill."
*Blush*
"Or at least a clue."
She smirked, "It's a boy."
"Duh. That is so obvious."
"No, I could be lesbian for all you know."
"OK. Fine, fine."
"Fuji, truth or dare?"
"Dare."
"I dare you to french the cat."
"What cat?"
"That one." She pointed to the black kitten with the white paws, snout, tummy and tail tip on the window sill, "Syaoran, be a nice cuz and fetch it for me."
He grumbled and picked the cat by the scruff and held it at arms' length to avoid the claws.
"EEK~! NO SYAORAN! POOR KITTY! PUT IT DOWN!" This was Sakura. Syaoran then gladly dropped it onto Sakura's lap. She immediately started stroking and tickling the cat, crooning, "Nice Yumi-chan. Good Yumi-chan."
Syaoran stared at her like she was some sort of freak, "Yumi.chan?"
"Yes Yumi-chan" She resumed tickling the kitten on her lap, who seemed to be enjoying it all.
Fuji resumed the game, "Eriol, truth or dare?"
"Dare."
"I dare you to steal the girls' cake, when it's done."
"Consider it done." He caught the tiny wink Tomoyo flashed him, "Sakura, Truth or dare?"
"Um.truth, then."
"You like someone, we want details."
"Eep."
Somehow Yumi sensed something was bothering his new mistress and snarled at Eriol.
"Ha. Well, you know the penalty."
She sighed, then lifted the sweater over her head, revealing a black tank top with a VERY low neckline. Syaoran blushed and looked away.
Yumi seemed eager to upset Syaoran. He started rubbing himself against Sakura's tummy, subconsciously (or not?) revealing some of that tanned flat stomach underneath.
"Stop it, Yumi-chan. It tickles. Chiharu, truth or dare?"
"Truth."
"You and Takashi are the oldest couple here, having been together since elementary school. What got you together?"
(I am making this up. I have absolutely no idea about how they met)
"Well, it was kindergarten and we were in the same class. He was the guy always telling his stories, and I never believed them, and somehow disliked him. Then, one day, it was raining and we were the last two left after school waiting for out parents. The teacher waiting with us had gone in to go to the toilet. I was playing with a small rubber ball. Eventually, in bounced out of the porch into the rain. I ran out to get it, slipped and scraped my knee. Takashi helped me up and begged his mom, who had just come, to take me home to get my knee fixed. At his house, she taped up my knee and called the school to get my mom's number. I was crying then, and to cheer me up, he gave me his teddy bear."
"KAWAII!"
*MEGA sweatdrop*
"Tomoyo, truth or dare?"
"Dare."
"I dare you to dismantle that camera of yours and throw them over the fence onto the highway."
Tomoyo shrugged, "Fine by me."
Chiharu stared in shock, but Sakura, next to her whispered, "She's got a cupboard full at home, if you want to know. And she always bring five spares when she goes on long trips."
Tomoyo then smiled slyly, "Syaoran, truth or dare?"
"Dar.er.TRUTH! TRUTH! I WANT TRUTH!"
"Too late. Haha. Dare it is. I dare you to kiss Sakura later in front of my camera."
"GAH!"
Tomoyo glared at him in a way that made him forget all about the penalty. As he glanced in the general direction of Yumi, he caught an evil glint in Yumi's eye that said 'I don't like you and I'm gonna personally make your life a living hell'.
He yelled, "Sakura, you are SO getting rid of that thing that moment Fuji's dare is done. It's evil, godammit, evil."
"Silly Syaoran." She tickled Yumi under the chin, making him purr, "Nobody's getting rid of nobody. In fact, I think I'm gonna keep him."
"Keep.him?"
"Yes."
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO~!!"
Syaoran's voice carried through the entire cabin and Touya poked his head in, "What's all that noise about?" He caught the same glint in Yumi's eye as Syaoran did, "Um.Sakura, you don't intend on keeping that.that THING, do you?"
"Yes, I do. And why is everyone calling him a thing? He's Yumi-chan."
"Excuse me." Touya closed the door behind him and.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO~!!"
This time, it carried through out to the highway, turning heads. Touya went back in, about to scream at his sister, but Nakuru beat him to it. She leapt up and glomped him as she hadn't for half a week.
An evil grin flashed across Syaoran's face, "Oh, and Nakuru, I dare you to stay there like that until he has to go to bed unless he's going to the toilet or something like that."
"Oh, I've got to pee."
Nakuru just hung on tighter, "Oh, you're not going anywhere, mister. Not unless you want me to tell everyone, about how many times I beat you at arm wrestling in less than two seconds."
"Meanie."
Fuji then frenched Yumi, and almost got the tip of his tongue bitten off in the process, Eriol stole the cake, and got chased around the entire cabin four times before shoving it into Ryu and Satoshi's arms. They then went to the edge of the woods, next to the lake and the fence that divided the camp from the highway. Tomoyo borrowed Syaoran's Swiss army knife, dismantled the camera, after removing the tape first, of course. One throw was all it took. A car skidded, and you could hear the driver yelling, "CRAZY KIDS!" Tomoyo just giggled and extracted her spare from her bag, replacing the tape. She then pointed it to Sakura and Syaoran, "Your turn."
As Yumi leapt out of Sakura's arms to chase after a rat, our fave couple felt a blush creeping up, turned every shade of red under the sun, then passed out simultaneously. (Kawaii, ne?)
Syaoran was the first to wake up, staring into Eriol and Tomoyo's I'm-so- evil-to-my-cute-descendant/best-friend-by-playing-matchmaker smiles. "Did I tell you have to kiss her on the lips?" they chorused. The blush crept up, his nose started bleeding, and he passed out again, all in three seconds flat. (I just ADORE bullying them. OHOHOHOHO ^O^)
Half an hour later, he woke up, fortunately, to Sakura's worried face, instead of E+T's evil faces. Tomoyo dragged him to his feet, while Eriol guided Sakura to the spot in front of him. Then Tomoyo jumped in front of them and started filming. They turned to look at each other. Amber and emerald gazed into each other. They felt blushes creep up. As they leaned closer, their blushes turned into darker shades of red. They both didn't exactly want to do this, because they thought that it would ruin their friendship. The moment their lips met, Eriol shouted out, "And you have to stay there for ten seconds!"
During those ten seconds, they each did a bit of thinking of their own. ^Syaoran is so warm. ^ Hoooooee! What am I thinking? ^ But it's true. ^ Are you that little voice-at-the-back-of-my-head-thing? ^ Yes, and I'm here to stay and you can't do anything about that. You like Syaoran, you like Syaoran, you like Sy. ^ Hoooooee. I'm stuck with the irritating conscience.^
But hers wasn't the only one. ^Her lips are so soft, may as well enjoy this. She's probably gonna hate me after this. ^ How are you so sure? ^ Well.um. ^ See? You don't know! I tell ya, she likes you. It's so obvious, the way she smiles at you an' stuff. ^ Now, how are you so sure about that? ^ Alright, so maybe I don't know. After all, I am you. What better way to find out than to ask? ^ But.but.then, I'll have to tell her I like her. That'll totally ruin our friendship. ^ Well, since you already said your friendship will be ruined after this, no dif if you tell, right? ^ Yeah, but. ^ Wut? Is weedle Syaowan a weedle scawed? ^ NO I'M NOT! ^ Then I DARE you to tell her. ^ Fine! I accept the dare! Right after I'm done with this one! ^ Fine by me. ^ Man, two dares at once.^
"Nine.Ten!" The two broke apart. After they caught their breath, Syaoran whispered, just so that Sakura could hear, "I've kinda got something to tell you."
"Me, too."
"You wanna go first?"
"No, you go first."
"Well, um.Sakura, ya know, when I first met you, how I was this cold- hearted anti-social? Well, now I've changed, because.of you. No matter how mean I was to you, you always tried to be my friend. And, well, what I'm trying to say is, I've fallen for you over the time I've spent here in Tomoeda, and.I.I love you. I'll understand if you don't feel the same way, I mean, you being so popular at school and all, I won't be surprised if you already have a boyfriend, I." He was stopped by Sakura's finger on his lips.
"Shhh. Don't say that. I was reserving that spot for someone special, someone I could spend the rest of my life with, and that person is you. I love you too." They then melted into each other's arms for another kiss, but were interrupted by a loud "KAWAII!" obviously from Tomoyo. Everyone sweatdropped.
(Hahaz. Did you notice? This whole fragment is from CCS Messenger Chapter 2. I thought it would be kinda cool.and I couldn't think of a way for S+S to get together. Hehez. And no, it is not a huge cut and paste job. That would be too sian. You see, ff.net uses Tahoma10 and I use Arial12. That would make me have to do a LOT of editing. And I lost the docs when my diskette kena got virus from one of the school coms) (BTW, ignore the bits and pieces of Singlish I use here and there in the Author Notes) (Singlish is basically English with a LOT of Singapore slang)
The sweatdrop evaporated with a "YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY~!" from Touya. Apparently, he had FINALLY flung Nakuru off and was now dancing the merry jig on a rock in the lake.
Until Nakuru leapt up and glomped him, causing the two to fall into the lake.
*After a while, back in the cabin*
Syaoran's arm hardly left Sakura's shoulders after that, and that made Yumi VERY upset. He scratched and clawed, which in turn made Sakura very upset. So, when he accidentally gave Sakura a large gash on the leg instead of Syaoran, he stopped. Meanwhile, Sakura and Syaoran were discussing none other than Eriol and Tomoyo. The two acted a lot like a couple, but insisted that they were just friends. (They're not a couple anymore remember? After that fateful game of truth or dare, only S+S remember that they were once together) After a while, they devised a plan to get them together, and get back at them at the same time for embarrassing them.
They found the two schemers sitting in the kitchen, very bored, having accomplished their latest mission to get S+S together. Suddenly, a shout of "Time, Maze, Mirror, Create, come to my aid!" was heard, and they disappeared.
*Within Maze*
Eriol and Tomoyo landed in a VERY uncomfortable and compromising position. They scrambled off each other relatively faster than S+S ever have and saw 'Sakura' giggling.
"Alright, Mirror. Why in the fourteen hells are we in Maze?" Eriol asked.
"Sakura's getting back at you."
"Wha-" He thought for a moment, then realized something, "Ha. Fat hope."
"Oh, I don't think so. And apparently, Sakura doesn't either."
"Whatever. I still say fat hope. Anyway, we deserve at least something close to an explanation."
"That's part of why I'm here. You see, she combined Create and me, which enables me to create whatever supplies you may need. And with Time, every day you spend here will be a minute in the real world, and every half a second there will be an hour here. All you have to do is get out of Maze." She smiled sweetly, and they started walking.
*Back in the real world*
Sakura and Syaoran raided the fridge, and feasted on chocolate while he tended to the gash on her leg. After three minutes, Tomoyo and Eriol appeared again, hand in hand.
"You guys sure took long. Three days."
"Yeah well, WE didn't have a magic bell created by Clow. Anyway, I guess we should thank you. But we'll have our revenge, THAT you can be sure off."
Sakura's left eyebrow moved upwards considerably, "Oh? And I suppose you've got a plan."
"No, but I'd appreciate it if you put that chocolate down and clear off. We need to get scheming." Tomoyo started pushing Sakura and Syaoran out the door.
The rest of the day went as usual (try defining 'usual'. You'll find it rather difficult, as a different thing happens to them everyday).
So, how'd you like it? I'm a bit anxious to end this, to start on the sequel. It's gonna be SO cool. And I suggest that you try to read/watch Gensomaden Saiyuki, Juliet Marillier's Daughter of the Forest & Son of the Shadows, Harry Potter, Vandread, You're Under Arrest, Sabrina the Teenage Witch, The Princess Diaries, The Princess Bride and Fushigi Yuugi, but the main thing is Gensomaden Saiyuki. Ja ne!
