Hi everyone! I've decided to make a songfic for "Sakura and Syoaran in New England?" I just love these songs and thought it might go well with my story. Yes, I know, you have letters and then you have a songfic--nothing is happening! Well, you can skip this part if you want to. But if you're a S+S romantic, I don't know what you should do.

Keep in mind:
~bla~ = thoughts
~~~***
bla
~~~*** = the song
^ bla ^ = the stuff that's not in the song

This features Wherever You'll Go by The Calling and You Set Me Free by Michelle Branch
My first songfic, so no laughing!

*everyone laughs*

*sniffs*

*everyone claps* Thank you! Hehe.

Chapter 5+~I'll Go Wherever You'll Go 'Cause You Set Me Free

~~~***
So lately, been wondering
Who will be there to take my place?
When I'm gone you'll need love
To light the shadows on your face
~~~***

^ Syaoran sighed. He was standing by the large window that faced the rest of the world. Since it was a very nice dorm, there was a tiny balcony that jutted out of the building. He was now thinking of...can you guess? The cherry blossom that lived in the dormroom next door. Syaoran was wondering what would've happened if he hadn't decided to stay in Japan...would Sakura be sad? Or would she have gone on being the happy Sakura that she was now?

~If I went, would there be shadows on her face?~ Syaoran thought, remembering a song he heard on the radio once. ~Would she have been sad to lose a friend? She seems like the type to be sad about losing a friend. Or would she have been happy because of all the grief I caused her in our card-capturing days? ^

~~~***
If a great wave shall fall and fall upon us all
Then between the sand and stone
Could you make it on your own
~~~***

^ ~Would she have been able to do everything without me?~ Syaoran wondered. Then he thought about all the times that they had to fight evil together, when one couldn't do it without the other. ~I guess not. I think we're a very good team. We've been through a lot. ~ Syaoran moved onto the balcony. ^

~~~***
If I could, then I would
I'll go wherever you will go
Way up high or down low
I'll go wherever you will go
~~~***

^ ~I didn't want to leave her~ Syaoran remembered. ~I wanted to go wherever she went. But what if I didn't stay with her?~ And Syaoran started to hum the rest of the song. What was it? Oh, yes. It was called "Wherever You Will Go" by The Calling.

~Sakura was sort of my calling. Or was it the Clow Cards? The two are sort of connected...so I guess both of them were my calling. Otherwise, I would've never went to Japan. I think it's a good thing that I went to Japan. Otherwise, I think my life would've been very boring. It most definitely wouldn't be the same. I learned a lot from Sakura. I learned that it was all right to show how I felt to other people. I learned that friends are so important for a person. I learned that it is possible to feel this feeling that people always talk about...love.~^

~~~***
And maybe, I'll find out
A way to make it back someday
To watch you, to guide you
Through the darkest of your days
If a great wave shall fall and fall upon us all
Then I hope there's someone out there
Who can bring me back to you
~~~***

^ ~Yeah, that's exactly what I would've done~ Syaoran thought. ~No matter what happened, I would've found a way back to her because...I wouldn't be able to live without her. I wonder if she feels the same with me. I wonder if the felt anything for me at all. Did she? Was I a friend to her then, or was I something more? If I was, does she feel the same thing now?~ ^

~~~***
If I could, then I would
I'll go wherever you will go
Way up high or down low
I'll go wherever you will go

Run away with my heart
Run away with my hope
Run away with my love
~~~***

^ Syaoran wrote in the soil of the plant that was on the tiny balcony. "Sakura holds my heart, my hope, and my love," Syaoran wrote. At another moment, it would've seemed like a depressing moment. But Syaoran was just in deep thought and thinking about his love for Sakura over the past 7 years. He quickly erased the message in the soil before any soul could see. ^

~~~***
I know now, just quite how
My life and love might still go on
In your heart, in your mind
I'll stay with you for all of time

If I could, then I would
I'll go wherever you will go
Way up high or down low
I'll go wherever you will go

If I could turn back time
I'll go wherever you will go
If I could make you mine
I'll go wherever you will go
I'll go wherever you will go
~~~***

^ Syaoran sighed. "From now on, that's one of my favorite songs. It describes me perfectly," Syaoran mumbled. Then he just stood out there, watching the stars. The beautiful, black night with its glowing, green stars reminded Syaoran of Sakura's eyes. When the wind swept through him, and unto his balcony, he felt comforted. Syaoran hoped with all his heart that his life would've been a little more easier. He was getting a little tired of all the evils of the world chasing him and Sakura. A person needed some peace every now and then! ^
~~~***
Can't you see?
There's a feeling that's come over me
Close my eyes
You're the only one that leaves me
Completely breathless
No need to wonder why
Sometimes a gift like this
You can't deny
~~~***

^ Sakura got out of bed and walked to the balcony, silently opening the door that stood between the room and the tiny balcony. She just couldn't stop thinking about...well the little wolf in the dormroom next door.

~Does he know? Can he tell that I like...maybe love him? Can he just see right through me?~ Sakura wondered. Sometimes it was hard to think that he didn't show any sign that he knew because he always made her feel breathless when he was around. She just couldn't deny it. She didn't want to either. His disheveled hair, his intense amber eyes, his gentle way of talking with her and his friends. She wouldn't change anything about him for the world...and she wouldn't change her feelings either. Her only question was...what should she do about her feelings? She had no idea if he felt the same way towards her. In fact, she was pretty sure that he didn't. ^

~~~***
'Cause I wanted to fly,
So you gave me your wings
And time held its breath
So I could see, yeah
And you set me free
~~~***

^ ~He does set me free~ Sakura thought, as she remembered one of Amelia's favorite songs. ~The Fly Card gives me wings, but he sort of...makes me fly. And it seems like the Time card just freezes everything so we can have our moments together. Yet it also seems that it's rushing everything~ Sakura thought. ~I don't think the Time card will be able to hold its breath forever...I think that something needs to happen between the two of us soon. Except...I don't really want to be the person to bring us closer together. I'm just too scared...I guess. I'm too scared that if he doesn't like me, I'll be hurt and devastated. Everyone tells me that we're meant to be together. That would be great...but is it true?~ ^

~~~***
There's a will
There's a way
Sometimes words
Just can't explain
This is real
I'm afraid
I guess this time there's just
No hiding, fighting
You make me restless

You're in my heart
The only light that shines
there in the dark
~~~***

^ ~I want us to be together, but I'm so shy. There will be a way though. I think I'm a little scared at how real my feelings are. I keep thinking that such feelings aren't really this intense, that people just infatuations. I'm scared that I might chicken out if I start up something, and then lose Syaoran as a friend? Yet I somehow know deep down...that I could never lose Syaoran as a friend.~

Sakura sighed. ~Remember that time when you and Syaoran were in that cave? And he was the one that helped you get the Erase card?~ Sakura thought to herself. ~He was like your light when you were in the dark, he helped you. Remember?~ Sakura thought to herself.

~Well, at least I know that other people think to themselves. I'm not crazy. What was that song that Amelia loves? It's stuck in my head right now!!! Oh yeah, "You Set Me Free" by Michelle Branch. That girl is pretty talented. I would like to learn the guitar...~ ^

~~~***
'Cause I wanted to fly
So you gave me your wings
And time held its breath
So I could see, yeah
And you set me free

When I was alone
You came around
When I was down
You pulled me through
And there's nothing that
I wouldn't do for you
~~~***

^ "It's true," Sakura whispered. No one could hear her except herself. "He's always there when I'm alone, and he always helps me when I'm down. It's true, there isn't anything I wouldn't do for him," Sakura mumbled.

~Maybe my life resembles a love song too much~ Sakura thought with humor. ^

~~~***
'Cause I wanted to fly
So you gave me your wings
And time held its breath
So I could see, yeah
And you set me free
~~~***

^ At that moment, Sakura and Syaoran glanced to their side and caught sight of each other. Their breath caught in their throats, and their eyes locked. Sakura took in the sight of Syaoran, his hair more disheveled and messy than ever, if that was possible. His clothes all rumpled, his eyes standing out against the night sky. Syaoran couldn't help but notice the way that the wind moved through Sakura's hair, how her green eyes seemed to look right into his. A split second later, they both ran into their rooms, scared, breaking the spell.

Sakura stopped running in her room and paused, gasping for breath. She hoped that Syaoran wouldn't talk about what happened! She didn't like the idea of being caught staring at the person she loved!

Syaoran blushed furiously in the darkness of his cool room. Why did he keep staring at her? He was such an idiot! She would, no doubt, remember the way that he looked at her tonight. He shook his head. He would worry about it some other time. Now, he would just rest and go to sleep, like he was supposed to be all this time. ^
A/N: So, what did you think? It's kind of short...compared to my letters chapter but I was just wondering how much non-action could you take? Anyway, hope you liked it!
