Chapter 7

"Wow! It's beautiful up here!" Sakura exclaimed as she pushed opened the door and walked into the cabin.

"Yea and cold!" Syaoran shouted as he ran into the cabin and straight in front of the fire.

"What's the matter my descendant? 5 layers of snow jackets isn't enough for you?" Eriol teased as he walked in behind Syaoran with Tomoyo looking perfectly cheerful next to him.

Sakura smiled as she began to pulled off her jacket and unpack her things.

But her backpack began dropped down to the ground and began to rolled back and forth with muffled voices from inside!!

"AHHH!!" Sakura shrieked.

"Get back!" Syaoran shouted as he leaped from his spot and held Sakura back in his arms.

The backpack continued to moved and it sounded liked someone was in pain inside.

Calmly, Eriol stepped up Sakura's backpacked, kneeled downed and carefully unzipped the zipper.

Kero popped out, and was breathing hard.

"Kero!" Sakura rushed towards him and let him sit down in her palm. "Are you alright!?"

The little golden beast took a while and was still breathing.

"WHY DIDN'T YOU OPEN THE PACKBACK!!! I COULD'VE SUFFOCATED!! ARE YOU CRAZY!! ARE YOU TRYING TO KILL ME!!!!"

Then Suppi popped his head out of the bag and flew up to Sakura's hand, next to Kero.

"Umm-Kero," Suppi said nervously as he began to poke him.

"HOW MUCH HAVE I DONE FOR YOU?!?!?!? AND THIS IS THE REWARD I GET?!!" then he turned around to Suppi. "WHAT?! CAN'T YOU SEE I'M ANGRY HERE?!?!?

"Yea, but technically, we not even suppose to be here."

"Duh...ah..ah..ehehheh" Kero froze as he sweatdropped and could feel Sakura's eyes on his back.

"Keroo.!!"

"Oh so sleepy!" Kero shouted as he grabbed Suppi and flew straight back into the backpack. "So sleepy! Long trip, man I'm wiped out! Weeweeweeweewee, (snore) weeweeweeweewee."

Tomoyo chuckled as she was quietly listening to the whole conversation. Sakura just put her hands on her hips and shook her head.

"Alright, you two, my backpack, now. Before Sakura uses Firey on the three of us." Eriol said as he reached into his backpack, carefully lifted the two guardians beast out and walked into one of rooms in the back.

"Hey you four!" Fujitaka said as he stuck his head inside the cabin.

"Otousan!" Sakura squealed as she ran to hug her father.

"Kinomoto-san! Huh.huh.I promisetotakegoodofyourdaughterandIpromisenotto hurtherinanyway!!" Syaoran said quickly after being so nervous in front of Fujitaka.

Fujitaka just chuckled. "Relax Li. I know you'll take good care of my daughter. Besides, I'm not like my son. I was just checking up on you kids cause I heard some loud shouting."

"Oh hehe, that was nothing." Sakura replied nervously this time as she sweatdropped.

"Well that's good. Here's some fire wood and get settled in before snowboarding while some of the other teachers and I go check out the trails." Fujitaka replied.

"Yes Sir," Eriol replied after reappearing in the room.

"Don't forget, the girls' bed side is on the left and the boys' bed side is on the right. And tomorrow night is the Snowflake Carnival."

"We won't!" Then Sakura stood up on her tippy toes to give Fujitaka a quick kiss.

"Good, I'll see at dinner."

~*~*

"All right, Kinomoto. You and umm.. ah Ms Noda go scout out trail A." Mr. Terada said as he handed Fujitaka a map. "And here's a walkie talkie, just in case something goes wrong."

"Oh could you hand me those tennis rackets just case, Mr. Terada?" Kahimi asked pointing to four rackets on the table.

Mr. Terada gave her a strange look but didn't argue. "Alright, people, be back in an hour!"

Teachers and counsels quickly began to scatter to mountains. It was still early in the morning and the air was so fresh.

Fujitaka turned to Kahimi and held out his arm as a way of joking around.

"Shall we?"

Kahimi smiled as she linked her arm around his.

"We shall."

~*~*

After walking for nearly about half an hour, Fujitaka stopped just to take a breather but Kahimi had walked to the edge of the cliff to take a look.

"You might want to be careful, or else you might fall off," Fujitaka warned as he unwrapped a scarf from around his neck and set it down on the rock.

"I'll be careful. Wow, the view is beautiful up here." Kahimi breathed as she peered out at the breath-taking view in front of them.

It was still a little cloudy and foggy and they were so high that they could actually see the top of some of the lower clouds, but the sun was just setting, with its light tinting all the clouds with a heavenly glow. Bright blue shadowed the trees while smears of soft lavender and baby pink covered the sky to still reveal the twinkling stars above. (I love these romantic, pretty places! Don't you??)

"Yea, it reminds me so much of the last couple of times I've been up here." Fujitaka answered, as if lost in his daydreams.

"Oh, Mr. Expert. " Kahimi teased.

"Well, I guess you could say that," Fujitaka admitted.

"Well, why need a map then?"

"See-well-um.-there's a perfect good explanation for that, and I know it too," Fujitaka replied pointing out a finger. But Kahimi could tell he was a little nervous, as she just smirked at him with arms crossed.

"You see,..um I-"

But a loud rumbling from right above them in the mountains and the ground seemed to be shaking for a second cut him off.

Fujitaka immediately jumped up and began to look above for any kind of signs.

"What was that?" Kahimi asked a little scared.

"I don't know, but we better be getting back," Fujitaka answered.

"You're right," Kahimi agreed as she took a step.

Suddenly the ground shook even harder!

Fujitaka turned around to see Kahimi's face completely white as she began to lose her balance!

"AHH!"

The ground beneath her feet crumpled as it pulled Kahimi down with it.

"Kahimi!" Fujitaka jumped forward, just in time to grab her hand before she slipped.

"AHHHHH!!!"

"I gotcha."

"Please don't let go!" Kahimi shouted as she was completely taken over by fright. He had her by only hand and he was on his stomach.

"I promise!"

Pulling her back up was harder than it sounded. Kahimi was wearing gloves and the snow was all over the ground, so it made it slippery to even get up himself!

Then there came another loud rumble from behind Fujitaka, as he turned his head to see what it was.

Piles and tons of snow came stampeding down towards them!

Avalanche..

~*~* (Kitty: Well, not bad for my FIRST cliff hanger, and literally, a cliff hanger for this story. But I decided to keep the chapter going, since the other chapter will be too long. So here's continued part!)

The mountains of snow were right above Fujitaka and Kahimi and smallest could tip off the chain reaction.

Kahimi was so scared that she was breathing hard and couldn't move.

"Kahimi, it's alright, I won't let you go, okay?" Fujitaka reassured her.

She nodded in response.

"Remember, I prom-"

But he stopped short as he noticed something behind Kahimi. On the cliff, there was a small ledge with a small space inside.

"Okay, Kahimi, listen to me, there's a small ledge right beneath you, I need you to climb down there and I'll be right behind you."

Kahimi paused for a second and then nodded her head again.

Fujitaka leaned out farther to hold her hand in case she tripped.

Kahimi slowly stepped one foot down at a time, trying not a trip.

"That's right, easy does it," Fujitaka comforted.

Then her foot reached an unsteady rock..

"AHHHHH!"

"I still gotcha!" Fujitaka grabbed even tighter to her hand as he leaned out even farther on the ledge.

The whole world around them started to shake even harder and snow began to rain on top of them. They set had set off the avalanche!

"HANG ON!"

With that, Fujitaka jumped off the cliff, wrapped his arms around Kahimi, and fell straight down the ledge.

The snow shot straight off the off the cliff above them.

Fujitaka held Kahimi closer to the cliff and shield her with his body as the snow thundered behind him, barely touching his back.

The rumbling continued on and on, booming in both their ears. The chaos seemed endless.

~*~*

"Is it over?" Kahimi asked in a small voice.

It was completely silent.

"I think so," Fujitaka answered as he lifted his head and looked around. He began to loosen his arms and turned around.

The snow piled up so high that the ground was right beneath their feet.

Fujitaka sat down on the ledge and was about to push himself off onto the snow.

"Wait! You might sink, that snow won't hold your weight. Here, tie these on to your shoe," Kahimi said as she pulled out the tennis rackets from her backpack.

After they finished, Fujitaka hopped down first to expect things.

"It looks good, and the tennis rackets really help," Fujitaka said as he held out his hand to help Kahimi down.

"I knew they would," Kahimi answered back as she took his hand and jumped down. "Now what do we do?"

"Let's see," Fujitaka pulled out the map and checked. "We can't exactly get back up to the cliff and go back."

"And it's already 8:00."

"I think we better go look for shelter. There's no point in getting lost in the mountains and snow. I think there's a cabin just north of here." Then he closed the map and took out his compass and flashlight.

Kahimi hung onto Fujitaka's arm, since it was too dark to see and getting lost was easy.

~*~*

It seemed like they were walking on for hours. But finally Fujitaka could see the outline of the cabin.

They walked up and pushed the door open. Fujitaka held up the flashlight around the room. It was completely bare with no furniture or anything. The flashlight flickered for a second, and then went completely dead.

"It's pitch black, here I can't see anything."

"Hold up, I think there's a lantern here." Fujitaka said as he began to feel around. .

"I see it," Kahimi said as she bent down and made a reach for a dark object.

"Good, hang on, while I take get some matches." Fujitaka fumbled for a second was he began to check all of his pockets. "Nope, not there, ... not there,.. oh wait! Found them,"

There was a quick sound of flick of the match and then a small flame burst out.

Kahimi opened the old lantern while Fujitaka lit the candle inside.

"Hey look, there's some old fire wood in here." Fujitaka exclaimed as he noticed the heap pile. He walked over and started to pile up the blocks of wood.

Kahimi followed him with the lantern so he could see what he was doing.

"Huh, if I didn't know better, I would say you took boys scouts when you were younger, Fujitaka-kun," Kahimi answered as she noticed how Fujitaka was building up the wood.

"Still am," Fujitaka joked back.

Then when he was finished, he took out his matches again, and lit the firewood from beneath in the opening. Slowly the fire began to crackle and light up the room.

Fujitaka and Kahimi both took a seat down in front of the fire and were leaning against the wall.

"Well, trail A is off limits," Fujitaka said as he marked an X on the map. Then he picked up the walkie talkie and tried it. "Hello? Come in. This is Kinomoto. Hello?"

Then he flung it down.

"Too much snow, I can't get a connection."

"You know, I've just realized that I might never be able to do things in my life that I've wanted to do," Kahimi suddenly said out of nowhere.

"Sure you will," Fujitaka reassured her. "It's good to think positive."

"Maybe, but there are some things in life I have never done. What if we get stuck? What if they don't find us in all this snow?"

"Don't say that. They'll find us."

"Fujitaka? Do.do you believe in regrets?" Kahimi asked in a small voice.

"No..I believe everything happens for a purpose. Regrets are things of the past and I don't believe in living in the past either."

"You know I've never been to a dance, or even to a carnival!" Kahimi exclaimed with a smile.

"Never?!," Fujitaka then put his arms around Kahimi to comfort her. "Then I guess I'm gonna have to promise to take you to the Snowflake Carnival tomorrow?"

"But what if we don't get back?"

"Remember I promised, so that must mean that we are going to get back, okay?"

Kahimi nodded. She was so tired from all that walking in the freezing cold and her legs were completely numb. Not to mention, she felt so safe that Fujitaka was there with her.

The cold wind blew outside, banging against the doors and window. But they just sat there in front of the blazing fire.

"Fujitaka?" Kahimi asked in a small voice.

"What is it Kahimi?"

"..Thank you.." she whispered.

"For what?" Fujitaka asked with almost a chuckle.

"For being here with me. I hate getting lost," Kahimi replied.

"It's okay to be scared."

"But I haven't been this scared since my mom died."

Kahimi could feel the tears swelling up.

"I'm sorry," Fujitaka said as he gently led Kahimi to his shoulder so she could cry.

"My mom use to sing to me before she died. I still remember her last song." Kahimi said through the sobs.

"I kept asking her why she had to leave me.sniff...and she told...me..sniff. that fate is both our friend and foe, but only we choose our destiny."

"Your mother was very wise."

"I know but I miss her a lot. It's only been a couple months."

"Can you sing me the song?" Fujitaka asked as he pulled her away to look at her face. Then he handed her a handkerchief from his pocket.

Kahimi accepted it and wiped her silver eyes. Then she cleared her voice.
