CHAPTER 4
"A Date to Remember"
Friday Night . . .
"You were right Sakura, I just had to open my heart and let love in." Tomoyo told Sakura as they finished getting ready.
Sakura had on a forest green skirt. It came up just below her waist and it reached just passed her knees. She had on black, ankle length boots. She wore a V-neck white, bare midriff, shirt with long sleeves. Tomoyo wore a spaghetti strap midnight blue dress that reached just above her knees. She had on open black strapy shoes. Both of them wore little make-up.
"We both needed to open up our hearts," Sakura answered.
"DING-DONG"
"They're here! Hurry up and finish putting on your shoes. With dad gone Touya has free reign to do anything he wants, and I'm afraid he's gonna punch Shaoran's lights out." Sakura cried out.
"Done!" Tomoyo exclaimed.
"Then let's book!" Sakura called out as she shut the door and ran down the stairs.
************************************************
Touya opened the door and to his unhappy surprise, Syaoran and Eriol were there. Syaoran wore brown slacks, and a forest green shirt that was untucked. Eriol wore black slacks, and a blue dress shirt, that was tucked in. Syaoran had a dozen sakura's and peonies. Eriol had a dozen red roses.
"What the hell are you doing here gaki?" Touya yelled out.
"We are here to pick up Sakura and Tomoyo for our date." Eriol cut in before Syaoran could say anything.
"Date!? What date? Sakura didn't mention any date!"
"We're ready!" Sakura exclaimed as she ran down the stairs. "Be back later Touya!" She yelled as she and Tomoyo shut the door before Touya could say anything.
"What the hell just happened? I'll get her when she comes back," Touya said to himself as he walked back to the living room.
************************************************
"Sakura you look so Kawaii!" Syaoran said with a slight blush. " Here I got these for you," he said as he handed the flowers to her. "Your favorite flowers, and mine, together, just like us."
"Oh Shaoran you shouldn't have. I'll just take them to my room so that Kero can put them in some water." Sakura said as she teleported.
************************************************
"Tomoyo you look great!" Eriol exclaimed. "Here I got these roses for you." He said as he gave her the roses.
"They are beautiful Eriol. I'll give them to Sakura so she can put them in water here at her house. That way they don't wilt. Sakura can you . . ."
"Sakura will be right back she just went to put her flowers in her room." Syaoran told them.
"Oh darn! I wanted her to put mine in too."
"Here I'll take them to her." Eriol said as he took the flowers and disappeared. A few seconds later, he reappeared along with Sakura.
"OK let's go eat." Eriol stated.
"Before I forget, do you guys want to go to the beach tomorrow?" Sakura asked everyone.
"Sure." Everyone said.
"Great let's meet at . . . "
"My house at 11am." Syaoran finished.
"Thanks, I would say at my house, but with Touya in charge, well . . ."
"That's why I suggested my house."
"Let's go, I'll drive." Eriol proclaimed as they got into a midnight blue buggy.
" I didn't know you could drive, much less have a car." Tomoyo exclaimed.
"That was a surprise. Anyways, I just turned sixteen. Ruby and Spinel bought me a car, since I already had a license."
"Enough chit- chat. Not to be rude, but I am hungry." Sakura told them.
"We're going, already." Eriol said as pulled out to the street.
************************************************
They went to a small restaurant to eat. After dinner they drove to the penguin park. Sakura and Syaoran went one way, while Tomoyo and Eriol went another way.
"Sakura, I'm glad you're giving me a second chance. You know that I'm still kicking myself for leaving you. I could have lost you because of my stupid fears. I . . ."
"Will you stop it? Forget about the past. The important thing is that you came back. We have a chance now to be together. Who knows how long this happiness will last. So lets live life now."
"What are you talking about? Our happiness will last forever. You and Me are a team, we were meant to be together."
"Are you so sure Shaoran? I get the feeling this isn't gonna last. Something's coming, something evil. Something that is going to tear us apart, and I'm scared. I don't want to lose you. Especially now that I . . . that we have each other."
"Nothing is going to tear us apart Sakura. If something does come, we'll face it together, and we will win. Just like we always do."
"Yeah, you're right. We can face everything together." Sakura said trying to sound as genki as usual. But to herself she thought, 'I'm not so sure we'll win this time."
"Come on Sakura. Let's . . ." he trailed off.
"Some one is here," they whispered together, as they looked around.
"I'll try and sense where they are." Sakura said as she closed her eyes and tried to find where the aura was coming from. 'I can almost see them. It's a man, but I know that I have sensed him before. I found him, he's . . . RIGHT BEHIND US!'
"SHAORAN LOOK OUT BEHIND YOU!"
"WHAT?! AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH" He yelled as he was attacked by a cloaked figure.
"Shaoran are you okay? Don't worry I'll get him for you." She told him. "WHO ARE YOU? WHAT DO YOU WANT WITH US?" She yelled out.
"Who I am isn't important right now. What I want is very simple. I want your power, and of course, YOU." The cloaked figure said evilly.
"Are you for real? You're crazy, you can't have me."
"Of course I can, and I will. COME TO ME SAKURA!!!!!!" He yelled out and his eyes glowed red.
"You really think that I . . . Hey what are doing to me?!" She yelled out as she began to move towards him.
"Sakura what are you doing? Don't go to him." Syaoran pleaded as he got up and went towards her.
"It's not me. I can't stop. He . . . He's controlling me. Syaoran help!"
"I'm coming Sakura. Element Fire come to my aid! Fire Blast!"
The fire headed towards the cloaked figure and hit him dead center. But when the smoke cleared, only the cloak was there.
"Where did he go?" Sakura asked as she held onto Syaoran.
"I don't know? But I can still feel him, hovering around."
"Key which holds the power of the stars, reveal thy true form. By the contract I Sakura command it. Teleport, I command you to teleport us to Eriol and Tomoyo. Teleport!!" They disappeared in a ball off white light.
"You can run but you can't hide, my bejin Sakura." The man cackled.
************************************************
Eriol and Tomoyo were having an intimate conversation when a flash of white light appeared right in front of them. When that light disappeared, only Syaoran and Sakura were left, and Sakura looked liked she'd just seen a ghost.
"Sakura what's wrong?" Eriol asked extremely worried.
"Yeah Sakura," Tomoyo added, "You're trembling."
"We were just attacked by some guy in a cloak. He had magic." Sakura managed to say before she collapsed.
"Sakura! Sakura wake up! Onegai Sakura." Syaoran cried.
"She's OK Li-kun. She just had a power outage. She'll be all right once she gets some rest. She's not use to carrying passengers when she teleports, actually she's not use to using this card so often. She's used this card more in the last week then she has in the last two years. When she first created it." Eriol stated calmly.
"I . . . Fine. Lets go to my place." Syaoran said exasperated.
As they drove to Syaoran's house no one said a word. It was a very quiet ride. Sakura didn't wake up until they got to the house. Once inside they had a serious talk.
"He must be the reason I was sent here." Syaoran stated.
"This must have been the presence I felt when I was in London." Eriol added.
"He sounds familiar. Where have I heard his voice before? I can't remember!" Sakura yelled irritated at the fact that she can't pin point her attacker's voice.
"I don't have a clue who he is." Tomoyo said calmly as she tried to comfort Sakura.
"The fact of the matter is that I don't have a clue either." Eriol stated.
"Neither do I. Are you sure you know who he is?" Syaoran asked.
"I don't KNOW who HE is. I just KNOW that I've heard his voice before." Sakura answered irritated because they don't believe her.
"Don't worry, it will come to you." Eriol comforted.
"The way you guys describe him, he sounds like a bad dream you wake up screaming from," Tomoyo stated as she shivered.
"Bad Dream?" Sakura questioned loudly.
Flashback
"No don't leave me, please. I love you. I'm sorry I never told you." A girls voice yells out to a shadowed figure.
"I'm sorry. I've moved on. I got tired of waiting." Yelled out a guy's voice. The guy's shadow then started fading away.
"No come back!" The girl cried out as she ran towards the shadow.
"Sakuraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa"Yelled out a booming voice.
"Who said that? Who's there?"
"Leave him, you are mine. I will have you and your power." The voice yelled out.
"No! Leave me alone"
"HAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAAAA" The voice laughed as a shadow appeared. Slowly that same shadow solidified, and became a man.
"Your mine!!" he yelled out as he reached for her.
"AAAAAAAAAAAggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"
"Leave her alone!" Yelled out the voice of the guy who left. "If you touch her you'll regret it"
"I'll kill ya soon enough little wolf. Then my little star will have no one to save her. HAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHA." The booming voice yelled out as he disappeared.
"Your safe now, Goodbye," the guy said as he walked away.
"Nooooo come back pleassssssssee......."
End Flashback
"NO! More like a nightmare!" Sakura yelled triumphantly at having remembered where she'd heard the voice before.
"Sakura what are talking about?" Syaoran asked.
"I remember where I heard that voice before. It was in my dream, no make that nightmare."
"What nightmare?" Syaoran and Eriol asked at the same time.
"Lately I've been having this freaky dream. But I would forget it the minute I woke up. All I remembered was that it really freaked me out. It wasn't until right now that I tried to remember the voice, then Tomoyo mentioned a bad dream, and it all came flooding back. I remember the dream word for word."
"Then tell us about it, Sakura." Eriol stated.
Sakura told them her nightmare, and how it seemed so real.
"Your dream mentions how the little wolf saved the star from the voice. I'm betting that the star is you Sakura, and the little wolf is . . ." he trailed off because Syaoran finished his sentence.
"Me."
"But you end up leaving me. That's why I woke up crying. It was because you broke my heart twice in that dream." Sakura exclaimed.
"It was just a dream Sakura. So what if part of it was right. The part about you and me was a lie. I didn't move on, and I'm not going to ever leave you. Believe me."
"I wish I could," she thought. "But I know you're gonna leave me." Out loud she said, "OK. Hey, I'm tired. So I'm going to head home. I'd teleport, but I just don't feel up to it." Sakura stated tiredly, as she reached for the door.
"Wait I'll walk you home," Syaoran said. Then turning to Eriol and Tomoyo said, "You guys are in your home, I'll be back in a bit."
Sakura and Syaoran walked out of the house, Sakura walking slightly ahead of Syaoran.
"I wish Syaoran had let me walk home alone. I need time to think." Sakura thought to herself.
"She's really quiet. I wonder what's wrong. She won't even let me hold her hand." Syaoran thought to herself.
"Shaoran, I think we should postpone the trip to the beach. Let's go next weekend. I . . I . . I need time to rest up."
"I was about to say the same thing. Sakura, what's wrong?"
"I . . . Nothing."
"I know you better then that Sakura. So tell me what's going on."
"Do you really know me?! You leave me all those years ago, no contact with me what so ever, and you still expect to know me!! Well get a clue. I've changed, and so have you! We're not the same little kids we use to be. I need time."
"Sakura! I . . .I . . . I already apologized for not keeping in touch with you. So what if we have changed. My feelings haven't changed. I love you more now then ever. But, I guess, that you're feelings did change. Maybe it was a mistake coming back here. It was my fault; I was hoping that things hadn't changed. But I guess that was too much to hope for. I'm sorry for bothering you, I . . I'll leave you alone now." He sighed sadly as he turned and walked away.
"Syaoran, come back. We need to talk!" She called out. But he didn't hear her, or he didn't want to hear her, because he never looked back.
"Sya . ." she started, but she knew it was hopeless. He wouldn't turn around. "He's too hurt right now." She thought. "Maybe it's better this way. We both need some time to think things through. It's just that we were so happy to be together again, that we hadn't thought about the fact that we had changed."
Sakura walked the rest of the way home absorbed in her thoughts. Not realizing that she was being watched and followed.
************************************************
"I was hoping for too much when I decided to come back. I never should have returned. No, it was good that I returned. I still love her, and I needed to tell her that, no matter what. Everything just happened so fast. I shouldn't have left her. I should have told her that I'd wait for her forever. That I'd give her all the time she needed. I have to tell her, I can't let her think that I gave up on us. She HAS to know." He thought with determination as he turned and ran towards Sakura's house. As he reached Sakura's house, he saw something he never ever dreamed of seeing.
"SAKKKKUUURRRAAAAAAAA!!!!" He yelled out.
