Chapter 8- The Mysterious Golden Woman
~~**~**~**~**~~
Sakura Kinomoto stole from her bed late that evening for after being unable to conquer the nagging absence of sleep. Her thoughts spun and reeled in her head, and everything went back to him.
Chocolate cake: chocolate eyes.
Dirt: messy brown hair.
Flowers: how he called her his cherry blossom, and how his favorite was peony.
Sunshine: the way he lit up the room when he walked in.
The moon: he was the little wolf. Wolves howl to the moon.
And the last one made her think of their argument that day. She had been so childish, so dimwitted to not realize his love for her. He had not come back that day after they fought the dragon, and she thought the worst things possible. Suicide, robbery, anything could have happened. He could be drunk and sleeping with some random woman he met in a bar.
Sakura shook that thought away immediately. He would never do that kind of thing to her, to Mina...to himself!
~* In some random bar*~
(A/n: *gulps cause she's scared to write this for fear of flamers* you guessed it! But it's not exactly what you think...)
Syaoran downed his 7th shot that night. His vision was blurry, and his fighting robes seemed heavy on his back. He didn't notice the stares he was getting for the strange clothing, but he could care less either way. No one in here would recognize him; they probably didn't watch political television or read the newspaper. Most were like him, drowning in there sorrows.
At that moment, a blonde girl with short hair and a cheeky smile strode confidently into the bar. She had a yellow sun dress on, and if you looked closely, it seemed as if her skin was golden. She had honey-gold-colored bands on her wrists and a golden hair tie in her hair. She was chewing gum, also yellow, and still smiling that out-of-place smile as she sat down on a stool next to Syaoran.
"What's up?" She asked, not seeming to care that he was obviously miserable, and opening her purse to apply some golden lipstick.
He snorted at her ironic attitude in this place. "What isn't up?" he asked rhetorically. She answered anyways.
"Holes, feet...most of the time...groundhogs, and obviously your spirits; what's buggin' you?" She had a slight Southern accent, but not too bad. Her voice was kind of childish actually. He could imagine her taunting someone easily. She acted like she was made for it. Yet she was being so kind...in her own little way.
Syaoran sighed, and decided to spill, letting the little voice in the back of his mind, telling him she was a weirdo, drown in the alcohol he had consumed.
"There's this girl..." and soon everything about Sakura and Mina and his whole situation were in the open. By the end of the story, the woman was crying softly, and whispered something, "I never knew you were so sad, Mistress..."
"What did you say?" asked Syaoran, his drunkenness beginning to slightly wear off.
"Huh?"
"I asked you what you said."
"Me? I didn't say anything." She was wiping her tears hastily and repacking her make-up. 'Oops, big mistake; you'll blow your cover like this...'
"I'm sorry, I have to go," she said in her hurry, and began standing up.
"No, wait," Syaoran said desperately, and grabbed her wrist. He needed someone to talk to...someone to take his mind off of Sakura.
She wrenched her arm away from his hand on impulse, and turned to face him. She leaned down, softly putting her hand on his cheek and giving his lips a quick kiss.
"She loves you, you know. Clean yourself up and go back. She's waiting."
Syaoran just stood with his mouth open wide, and then he blinked, and the mysterious golden woman was gone.
A deep, husky voice called him back to reality.
"Hey son, you done yet? It's midnight. Ya better go back to wherever ya came from. The cops 'round here ain't too nice with peoples like you and me. Migh' take ya somewhere ya don wanna be..."
Syaoran nodded, still dazed at what the woman had said. She seemed so familiar...oh well. He didn't even know her name, so it wasn't that big of a deal. All he knew was that, somehow, she was right, and he would have to go back to Sakura. He would have to make her fall for him once again.
