OMG!! It has so long since I received so many reviews. Well, it wasn't a lot but it was still a good amount for me to decide and write a chapter sooner. I have school, I already said that. And, for this special ocassion and only if I still get that many reviews, I will put a thank-you list. And this goes to:
~ S+S4ever: I can't tell you that. I think it's pretty obvious. And I have school so I can't update very often, but I'll try, ok?
~ SweetBabyGurl: I never knew my fics or characters could be funny. And I can assure you that she's not their kid. I never thought about it eithe. Thanks for reading and reviewing!
~ jennifer: Don't kill me!!! Please!!! I swear I won't make Sakura die anymore, I totally do. And I bet it was spooky, it came in my mind when I was ending the chapter, and no one knew anything about the mysterious character until the last line, that was really cool!! Thank you for everything!!!!
~ kawaii tomoyo: here's the chap, enjoy it and thanks!!!
~ Sea Shell 5.0 *^-^*: Haha!! You got it right, girl!! Your review made me laugh, I don't know why, and here's the chap!!
~ Jennifer: I knew you would be glad about that! But I can't assure anything right now, anything can happen *someone hits M.T. in the head*... thank you!!
~ Inuyashachic515: How many times do I have to say that my favorite pairing is S&S!!! I would never do anything that's not S&S! Ok, maybe right now this fic doesn't seem like it, and you may not want to read my fic in the next chapter, but I have a reason for everything. Don't give up hope on me, please!!
~ cherrixwolf: Same as before, there's a reason why I'm doing this, and you will love me for it later... I hope... maybe you'll want to kill me because I made you very mad. Anyways, keep writing, girl!
~ AnimeObsessionFantasy: Ok, I said that too, any confusions just write to my mail! And I don't know if it will be a happy ending, but I promise that it will be S&S!
I guess that's it for now. I'm glad no one bothered Michelle's five minutes of madness. I got that of myself, actually, and the truth is that Michelle is based on my person. I'm really hysteric too, just like her in the car episode. In short, Michelle is me. Ok, no more bothers and here's chapter 7!.
Waiting for an angel (chapter 7)
"Are you sure you are ok?"
"Yes, I'm fine" said Michelle annoyed, getting up, but Fran forced her to sit back down on her bed.
"How could you go out like this? You know you have to rest" said Danielle, sitting next to her. "Just one moment we were distracted and you sneaked out of the apartment, don't you listen?"
"No" said Michelle, smiling. The girls and Syaoran smiled too, they had stayed with her for the day to make sure she was okay and that Natalie wasn't going over there to try anything against her.
"Thank God this is the third floor, imagine what would have happened if your apartment was higher" said Danielle. "Specially (spelling?) in your condition".
"Ok, I repeat in case you haven't listened: I'm-fine. I'm perfectly fine, she didn't hurt me" said Michelle trying to stand up and walk, but Fran and Madison forced her to sit down. "You are going to make me try to sneak away of the apartment again" she added.
"Where did you go, anyways?" asked Madison, and Michelle got nervous. This wasn't in her plans.
"I- uh, well... I just went to get some fresh air, I don't like staying in my apartment, I was planning on going to the beach today" answered Michelle after thinking really quick of an excuse.
"Yeah, we can see that" said Fran, sitting at the other side of Michelle. "Are you sure you are ok?"
"Yes. My back hurts a bit but that's all" she admitted, laying back on the bed. "I didn't get the chance to punch her nose though, that's all I wanted to do" she added, making them laugh.
"Well, I did and it was quite pleasuring" said Fran, getting up. "Well, I have to go. Andy will be waiting for me at the beach".
"That is so unfear, why can't I go?" complained Michelle in a baby voice.
"Because you were into a fight today and you have to rest" said Madison walking to the door. "Didn't you just said your back hurt?"
"Yeah, but it's not like I'm gonna go around carrying people on it" answered Michelle. "It's ok, I'll go tomorrow or in the weekend".
"Ok, we'll be going home now" said Danielle getting up. "Syaoran is staying here with you if you need anything, 'k?"
"Alright. Have a good time for me at the beach" she said.
"I will" said Fran. "Bye".
"Bye" said Michelle and Syaoran at the same time. They stayed in silence for a moment, they heard the door closing and Syaoran went and sitted down next to her.
"I take it that they told you, right?" he said. Michelle got up and nodded. "Aren't you mad at me?"
"Why would I be mad at you?" asked Michelle looking at him, but he didn't looked at her.
"For not telling you. I wasn't trusting you and you saved my life, I should have" he said. Michelle smiled.
"No, I'm not". Syaoran looked up when he felt a hand placing in his, and he saw Michelle smiling at him. "I'm not the one to judge your actions, I barely know you. You really loved her, and I can bet you still do. It must be hard to talk about it right now". She took a deep breath before continue talking. "In a part I understand why you wanted to do it... the day we met. But you are here. You are alive. You have to take life as a gift, you never know when it's gonna go away. And sometimes when you realize how beautiful being alive is, it's too late. Enjoy every second of it, even if you lost her, you know that she would have wanted you to move on" she said, and Syaoran saw her eyes shining, he got surprised because he thought she never cried. Even in that moment he couldn't believe the tears he saw in her eyes.
"Thank you" he whispered and she smiled again. "I don't know what I would be doing or where I would be now if you weren't here".
"It's ok" she answered. "As I said, I understand you, but I know she wanted you to move on. Maybe you don't want to" she said, guessing what he was going to say. "But you don't have to forget about her, just keep on living".
"I feel like I won't enjoy life without her" said Syaoran.
"Then I'll have to teach you to enjoy it" said Michelle with a bright smile on her face. Syaoran looked at her oddly. "Come on, it shouldn't be that hard. And don't look at me like if I was crazy or something" she said taking his hand and leading him off the apartment. She took the keys of her car and her backpack before leaving, and Syaoran made sure to grab his jacket.
"What did I get myself into?" whispered Syaoran to himself when they went into the elevator.
An hour later.
"Why did you bring me here?" said Syaoran. They were in a small lake with thousands of trees and flowers around. In that moment the sun was going down, so the fading light and the colors in the sky were creating a great atmosphere in that moment.
"What do you think about this place?" asked Michelle. "I discovered it with a friend last year, when we were visiting. He came and helped me to pick my apartment and move. We were driving around one day and we got here. It was in this moment too when we found it".
"It's beautiful" said Syaoran, not thinking of another word. Sure it was beautiful, it was breathtaking, but he still didn't get the point of being there.
"We are here because I wanted to show you this place. We all have tough times and sometimes we only focus in ourselves, we don't look around and see what's good around us instead of looking at the bad. There are thousands of places like this and even more beautiful in the world. Don't you think it's worth living knowing that the world you are living in is beautiful, that you are privileged by living in it?"
Syaoran looked at the girl next to him, and once again wondered what surprise she would pull out later. Here she was teaching him to move on, and he thought he never could. If someone would have told him that he could move on five days ago, he would have glared this person until making him fear for his life. But now, he felt something he had not felt for awhile and he thought he never would: he felt alive. And just being there in that moment, watching that small paradise he thought that just a few things could compare to that. The only times he ever felt like that was... when he was with Sakura. Suddenly he felt his barriers against everything getting broken. He wondered what was wrong. Only one person could do that to him, but here she was, this weird girl that appeared in his life like an angel in the moment he thought everything was lost.
It's the way she fills my senses
It's the perfume that she wears
I feel I'm losing my defences
To the colour of her hair
"I wouldn't change it for anything" he whispered, not wanting to break the magic of the moment. "If I could stay like this forever I would never give up on living again" he added, making her look at him. Their eyes stayed locked for a moment, amber into amber, reading what the other felt.
And every little piece
Of her is right
Just thinking about her
Takes me through the night
Michelle started to feel nervous. No other boy had that effect on her, his gaze made her weak on the knees and made her want to be with him all the time and never let go. No one would ever make her feel like that, and in that moment she knew that Syaoran was the only man she would ever want by her side.
Every time we meet
The picture is complete
Every time we touch
The feeling is too much
She's all I ever need
To fall in love again
I knew it from the very start
She's the puzzle of my heart
Syaoran broke the eye contact, realizing what he was doing. 'What is happening to me? Sakura is the only one for me, I can't do this to her' he thought. But... Michelle was still there, because even though he was denying it over and over again, he felt inmensely attracted towards her. And he felt so guilty about it, but he couldn't help it. It was so weird how things were happening, but he promised to himself in that moment that no matter what, Sakura would always be the one for him and no one else. But after he did it he wasn't so sure anymore.
It's the way she's always smiling
That makes me think she never cries
I feel like I'm losing my defences
To the colour of her eyes
And every little piece
Of her is right
Just thinking about her
Takes me through the night
Michelle stayed in silence, and started to yell at herself mentally for doing that. She knew exactly what was going on, and after that moment she understood how things were evolving in their hearts. And that wasn't good. She started to regret for accepting what she had been asked for, but she couldn't back out now, she had to end it and then keep going. Michelle knew that he was confused and that he felt guilty, but she couldn't do anything about it. And she didn't wanted him to suffer twice, she was there to do something and wasn't going to let things mix. She didn't wanted him to suffer because of her twice.
Every time we meet
The picture is complete
Every time we touch
The feeling is too much
She's all I ever need
To fall in love again
I knew it from the very start
She's the puzzle of my heart
As she started to drive towards the city, Syaoran looked at her, sometimes through the corner of his eye or just straight, and he could feel how uneasy she felt under his gaze. He regretted somehow doing that promise, he couldn't help the feelings she made bubble inside him (I have a feeling that you hate me right now). But he still had the weird feeling that he knew her, that she was someone he had met before. Who knows where, Syaoran was completely and absolutely sure he had never seen her but it was something, not physical, it was like... like the aura. He knew it. He recognized it, but couldn't figure out the resemblance of it.
Like a miracle she's meant to be
She became the light inside of me
And I can feel her like a memory
From long... ago
"We are here" said Michelle. Syaoran snapped out of his reverie and looked around. They were in front of her building. Michelle got down and so did Syaoran. He walked towards her and stayed there looking at her. She started to get nervous, if he tried anything she would have to hurt his feelings and she didn't wanted that.
"Why do I feel like I know you from somewhere?" he asked. Michelle just smiled at him, this was exactly what she wanted.
"Because we do" she answered and he frowned, what was that suppossed to mean?. "I know you better that anyone else". Syaoran was about to open his mouth to say something, but she didn't let him. "I have to go now; remember we have to do that work for Mr. Smith" she said before walking away.
"Wait!" he yelled. 'Shit' she thought, she still wasn't used to the cursing, that had been her dream for a long time but still couldn't get used to it. "Why don't we go and do it now? It's shouldn't be hard". Michelle sighed in relief, she thought he was going to go further on her weird comments.
"Alright" she answered and walked with him to his place. "Do you think your friends will accept me? I mean, I don't think they like me".
"They will love you, just see" he answered with a smile, Michelle felt herself melt once more time.
Syaoran opened the door to his house and Tomoyo appeared, they weren't worried since he had called them saying he would be busy. (Yeah, busy taking care of Michelle).
"Hi, Syaoran, you are home. Hi Michelle" said Tomoyo, very friendly. She could see that they had only a friend relationship, she didn't call him by his first name yet, which meant that he still hadn't authorized her.
"Hi" said Michelle, returning the smile.
"Michelle is eating here, I think, we have a work to do" said Syaoran. "Can you bring the food upstairs, please?" he asked.
"You lazy, why don't you carry it yourself?" said Meilin from the kitchen, she had heard the entire converastion.
"Fine, fine. I will. Let's go upstairs" said Syaoran, motioning Michelle to go.
They walked into his bedroom, which also had, besides the bed and the closet, all the other stuff Syaoran needed to study. Books piled on a shelf next to his desk, and thousands of papers made Michelle sweatdrop, because the rest of the room was completely neat.
"I'll go and see what's up with the food, alright?" said Syaoran, Michelle turned around and nodded. "I'll be right back".
"Ok" she said before he left. Michelle walked to a shelf that had different objects. There was some pictures there that made her smile. One was of Sakura on the day of the prom, she was dressed in a green strapless top with a green long skirt that reacher to her ankles. The other showed both of them cuddled up on the back seat of a blue convertible, Syaoran's arm hugging her around her waist. The last one showed Sakura and Syaoran in their school uniforms sitting together under a cherry blossom tree. Michelle smiled looking at them. All those moments had passed, they were in the past and now things were so complicated.
Michelle walked towards the desk and opened one of the drawers. She smiled looking at what was inside it. She took it and felt the power. She had missed it. She looked inside again and saw the key.
"I have to hurry" she simply said before doing what would unleash the end of her mission.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"So, you feel it too, huh?" said Syaoran after hearing them.
"And so do you" said Eriol. "I really don't know what this means, I've been thinking about it but I can come up with anything".
"But the weirdest thing is that she doesn't seem to be evil at all" Tomoyo said softly. "She's really nice, actually".
"Bad things don't always show their bad side" replied Eriol.
"But we aren't feeling anything bad. It's not like if you can feel something but don't know what it is, that's different. We know it's not evil" said Meilin.
"She's right" said Syaoran. "Maybe is just that she has a lot of positive energy, because I really doubt that she has magic" he ended.
But before anyone could talk again, a really bright light started to shine from the second floor. Syaoran got up and ran upstairs with the others behind him. When they reached the second floor they headed towards Syaoran's room. He opened the door and gasped at the sight. Eriol and everyone else did too.
Michelle was standing in the middle of the room, the Sakura book on the floor and the glowing cards in the air surrounding her.

Oh, this is so funny!! I love writing this, I can imagine the reviews I will be getting. I hope that by now a lot of people know where the story is going, I know there's a few that know.
I have one thing to say before leaving: I LOVE S&S!!! I HATE OTHER PAIRINGS!!! THIS STORY IS S&S!!!
Is everything clear now? I know it doesn't seem like it, but believe me. If it's not, then I'll give you my phone number and my address so you can come personally and kill me. I really doubt you will, but if you want you can literally kill me through the phone. If you want to, of course.
Next chapter will be up in a few days, the latest it can come it's next Tuesday. But I think it will be by Sunday. You know the drill, people, you saw what reviews can do, so I'll be waiting. See ya'll later!!
