He Completes Me
Chapter 20- Painful Recollections
I watch in horor as the scene rolls on before me. I can taste the fear that surrounds me. I now stare at the oozing liquid
that claims the floor as it's own. Another step has been taken. I feel a sudden jolt as I fall backwards, into the darkness,
into the deprivational darkness that willingly consumes me whole. A sudden bright light welcomes my arrival but there is
something holding me back. I hear the chaos suddenly drift away, voices are faint whispers. I see myself growing up in a
matter a seconds before my eyes, scenes from my life
just flashing before me. This was it now, I'm floating over the many bodies that surround me, so many in so little time.
I see my friends huddled in a corner shocked and in tears. I hear them screaming my name...screaming...screaming...just
yelling "Sakura" I can no longer see them... I can no longer comfort them...and soon I will no longer be near them....
Just then I hear someone yell to me! Syaoran, I know it is, it has to be, his melodic voice ringing in my ears unwilling
to leave him, the only one that will ever complete me, the only man I will ever love...its all over now... The whispering in
my ear, words of encouragement he yells to me soon stop...I am left in darkness yet again...I am alone...Perhaps I am dead...
this is it...I will die incomplete...I never gave myself to him...I lived incomplete...I die...an incomplete soul and soon
I find myself fading into the background, I no longer exist....I am incomplete...because he completes me...and I never said
so...I never showed him....
'Syaoran...'
I hear screams, screams and more screams...yelling louder louder...
****************************************************************************************************************************
"Sakura honey, time to get up"
"Dad come on, lemme sleep some more.."
"Would your dad do this?"
Suddenly I felt a wonderful set of warm lips hug mine leading me into eternal bliss.
"Morning stranger" I replied smiling while my eyes remained shut.
"Morning, how are you feeling today hon?"
"Im..hey wait a minute, how are YOU?"
"I'm fine why?"
"Why? Oh I don't know, could be because you were only released from the hospital yesterday! You should still be snoozing
what are you doing up?"
"It's a habit I guess. So were you having a sweet dream? Sorry if I wrecked it so early."
"NO! It was anything BUT sweet..." I found myself saying. "Uh..I mean, I've had sweeter dreams that's all.."
"Sakura..."
Syaoran suddenly approached the bed where I still was with a questioning look.
"Syaoran, don't start ok? It was just a dream alright?"
"Is that so? Then why are you shaking?"
It was true, I was trembling and it wasn't because I was cold. Each night the same reccuring dream would visit me, more like
haunt me and laugh at me.
"It's nothing. I'm just cold."
Syaoran's lips curved into a frown, it was so hard lying to the person you loved.
"Sakura...I want you to tell me exactly what happened-"
"I already did, dozens of times and you've always told me to shake it off which is what I'm doing, so let's go I promised
to go over to Tomoyo's and help her pick out a name for her baby."
"Sakura, your avoiding the issue-"
"WHICH IS WHAT!?!"
Syaoran was taken aback by my tone. I didn't mean to snap at him, rather I wanted him to hold me and tell me everything
would be alright, but this time, it wouldn't cut it. I was naiive in thinking that a few kisses would make the wounds heal.
Perhaps, he had a right to know the events in my dreams.
"I'm sorry Syaoran, I didn't mean to snap at you like that... I just...I-"
"Your scared."
I am caught by surprise, he understood how I felt better than I thought he would.
"Ya.."
"I feel that exact same way every time..I have a vision, especially one that involves you..and Jason..hurting you..it just
drives me insane! I get consumed by the anger and the fears that I let them controle me...I don't mean that to happen but
it just does, like an instant reflex."
I nod. I understand what he means, in fact my visions always make me fearful for my life and the lives of my friends..not
really angry...frustrated yes, at times... but not anymore.
"Syaoran.. remember how I used to tell you that I couldn't remember my dreams anymore, that I just couldn't picture them in
my head anymore?"
He nods in recollection, and so I continue.
"Well, with each day, bits and pieces of my dreams come clearer and clearer. I close my eyes, and I can picture certain things,
like the pain, the fear, the anguish, the scents, the atmosphere, the setting... The faces are still blurry, but the voices
have become clearer... much clearer."
Syaoran...
I watch her as she recollects her traumatizing dreams, I don't know what they are about, or what happens in them but I gather
that it's something so horrible, so treacherous that her subconscious has been attempting to bury all these thoughts deep
within her so that she may never experience such pain consciously. I look into her paled face, I can't help but notice
her unshed tears ready to spill over. I can't even fathum the pain she is feeling right now. I only pray she will let me
in... the feelings bottled up inside of her will destroy her if she doesn't let them out.
"Sakura...tell me everything..."
Sakura...
I look into his deep brown eyes which have captivated my being and I decide that the time has come that I should shed some
light for him...the time was now.
"I close my eyes, and I see pain... just pure, pain...a gut wrentching pain... It's like, someone took a knife and sliced
everything up. The darkness which bathes our sight before we drift off, has been sliced with a butcher knife now dripping
redness... blood. Flesh being torn apart and tortured then thrown onto the ground only to be flattened by the body now
falling motionless onto the cold, hard pavement... blue flooring... now red... panicked voices flee to the exits only to find themselves
slipping and falling into the numerous puddles of liquid... dozens of gallons just pouring onto the ground... flooding the
room... filling every nook and cranny..nothing safe or sacred... nothing left untouched... All forms of life just shredded..
and tossed out with the evening trash. Through the midst of it all, there I am, horrified, petrified, mortified by the scene
rolling on before my very eyes.... people that I know! People that used to greet me with smiles in the mornings of each day
would never smile again, for their lips are scattered all over the place... ashes to ashes, dust to dust...
And still, there I remain standing in my most elegant dress, her most elegant piece of art hanging, stained with blood,
perhaps not mine, perhaps mine... perhaps...yours... perhaps the blood of the unborn children of the world... perhaps the
parents of those unborn innocents that will never be born into such a hate-filled world... why would such an innocent being
want to leave it's bliss of nothingness and enter it's invisible tomb? Perhaps the unborn seedling is unaware that the moment
their lungs inflate with air, that very moment of life, of prescious life... perhaps they are unaware that that very moment
brings them closer to the end of their path... the moment they are born into this world, they begin to die ...only a matter
of time before they decompose...ashes to ashes and dust to dust...
And still, in the midst of it all, there I am, staring in awe as a horrible creature snatches away their lifeforce... just
pumping lead into their flesh, unleashing the sticky, liquid... oozing out of the many wounds... signifying the end is near..
The room is filled with the stenches of fear, hatred, disgust, pain, anguish... and of course death... How did this happen?
How did we let this happen? So many dead...so many more on their way...
I fall to my knees, soaking my dress even more, staining it's beauty for all eternity... I cry...I cry for all those dead,
all those who will die... and I cry for those that I love... oh God, my one, my only... drowning in the liquid... drowning
in death... I call to him... I call to him... I scream to him... no answer.. I find myself making a life altering choice..
Do I do as it asks? or do I falter, staining my entire body with my own blood? I can't decide... I can't... oh God I can't..
It wants to hurt him...oh God, it wants him to be lost to me forever...sweet Lord...he will be killed! I cannot allow such
a thing... I leap into view... voices screaming... the screams yelling for me to get up...I cannot.. I am too far..too lost..
lost forever... it's all over...all over... he will never know... never know..
"He'll never know Syaoran.. never.."
Syaoran...
I watch her in awe, in confusion, in shock... such pain.. I've never heard of such pain... of such anguish filled with
such depth.. the horror she must feel for life... the fears are not normal fears... her tears are not normal tears...
this is indeed a vision... a vision which is foreshadowing the end... I stare into her blank, paled, tear-stained face as
she speaks...and so I reply.
"Never know what?"
She looks blankly up at me and replies softly...
"I...I don't know... I just don't know..."
Her glazed over eyes now assume their regular position, filling once more with life.. as if she had been possessed by
negative energy, by true pain and horror... if this is in fact a vision... I share her fears... but I will not give into
them.. I wrap my arms tightly around my prescious bundle called Sakura, never wanting to let go.
"Why did'nt you tell me sooner Sakura?"
"Tell you what sooner Syaoran.. what happened? I guess I just blanked out there for a moment.."
Her lips curve into a smile. Her angelic features staring at me blankly. She had no recollection of the pain she had just
vividly described. I am somewhat relieved that she doesn't recall the horror, the pain, the torture...
"Nothing... I guess you were on a different planet for a while.."
"Hm, guess so...I'm going to go take a shower, I feel... I dunno stained somehow.."
"Ok.."
She lifts herself off the bed and walks away, I wonder, this vision... it isn't something to shake off... no, this vision
has true potential... somehow... it will happen... only a matter of time..
****************************************************************************************************************************
"Morning Tomoyo, ready to go?"
"Ya, I guess.."
"What's wrong sweety, morning sickness?"
"Ya, I guess.."
"You hungry?"
"Ya, I guess.."
"You ok?"
"Ya, I guess.."
"Tomoyo, what's wrong?"
"Ya, I-"
"Tomoyo?! Earth to Tomoyo!"
"Huh? Oh, I'm sorry Eriol... I was just putting the finishing touches on Sakura's dress.. problem is I have all these
ideas, but none of which are on paper... Sakura is suppose to come over so we can work on her dress.."
"Oh, for the Prom huh?"
"Yup... but I don't know, Sakura has been really out of it.."
"She's probably just busy...you know Jason escaping and all... I can't figure it out, how is he able to escape so often?"
"I dunno, unless he has some help from the inside!"
"Tomoyo, please, you sound like a cheep thriller!"
Tomoyo...
We begin to laugh as he craddles me in his arms. I can tell he is worried about me and the baby. I have been stressed out
a lot lately, who wouldnt be? A crazy psycho bursting into our home, threatning us? Still, I look to the prom and I get
this funny feeling... a worried feeling that something will go wrong.. I can't shake it.. I can't shake the fact that it involves
us... I begin to quicker at the very thought... Eriol's craddling becomes more protective.. I know he is ensuring me that
nothing will happen tonight... he won't let it... I smile in gratitude... but tonight will be bigger than any of us anticipate...
somehow, someway, I can tell... I just know..
*****************************************************************************************************************************
Syaoran...
Her words echo continuously over and over again, on a loop that I just can break. I can't help but feel a strange vibe,
that her words were meant to keep me on my guard... and I will be on my guard... something is telling me I need to watch out..
Suddenly, I hear a scream. Not just any ordinary scream, Sakura's scream.
I run up the stairs, skipping over quite a few and thrust open the bathroom door to find her shaking in her towel, hair dripping
wet while her eyes remained glued to the fogged up mirror which read, "C U 2night Babe!".
I wrap my arms protectively around my shaken girlfriend and swallow hard. He won't get her... over my dead body Jason...
"Over my dead body.."
"That's..what..I'm afraid of Syaoran...that's what I'm afraid of..."
********************************************************************************************
Sakura...
"Ouch Tomoyo!"
"Sakura, hold still, you wan't me to poke you?"
"It's a little late for asking isn't it?"
"Just hold still, we're almost... DONE! Oh God it's beautiful! OH SAKURA LOOK WHAT YOU DID!!!!!"
"What? When you pricked me, I bled, what was I suppose to do?"
"OOOH..Dammit! My most elegant piece of art hanging, ...is stained with blood!!!"
My head shot up in awe. What did she call it? "elegant piece of art hanging, stained with blood.." why did that phrase
seem so familiar to me... I find myself trembling... Tomoyo is preoccupied with her thoughts of "kawaii Sakura and Syaoran
love forever" type thing.. I can't help but shudder as a cold chill travels up and down my spine sending goosebumps all over
my body... I suddenly feel cold hands place themselves on the back of my neck, I shriek in horror.
"Sakura.. you ok?"
"Huh? Ya.."
"Sorry.. I guess my hands are a little cold, I told Eriol to shut off the air conditioning this morning before he left for
school."
While Syaoran and Eriol went to school to take double notes for Tomoyo and I, she and I decided it best to hang out together
and finish our dresses while attempting to pick out adorable baby names for her unborn child who still remained hidden
from the world. Syaoran reluctantly decided to let me stay here with Tomoyo for the day, I could tell he was worried beyond
belief.. the message on the mirror cried Jason loud and clear.. "babe", he was the only one that called me that. I find
my teeth chattering in fear... what if he was going to the prom tonight? He is a senior.. He is extremely angry with all of
us... what if...
Suddenly flashes of light flash before my eyes. I see images that are so familiar and yet are so foreign to my eyes.
I see pain, anguish, fear, horror.. I hear inhumain sounds... I feel the room grow colder by the moment... I feel like
I'm falling, never to get up again..
"Sakura? Sakura! Sakura? Get up off the ground, you'll crease your dress even more! Jeez!"
"Huh?..Sorry Tomoyo...I uh..I'm sorry.."
****************************************************************************************************************************
"What is with girls and wanting to stay home to prepare for the prom hours in advance Syaoran?"
"I dunno..."
"I guess Sakura has been pretty psyched too huh?"
"I dunno..."
"She driving you crazy?"
"I dunno..."
"She been dreaming about this night for centuries"
"I dunno..."
"I bet she can't wait to dance the night away with- hey wait a minute! Syaoran?"
"I dunno..."
"DAMMIT! First Tomoyo and now you, am I that boring?"
"Huh? Sorry Eriol, I've just been worried about Sakura..that's all.."
"So what else is new? Can't say that I blame you.."
"Oh, hows your shoulder by the way?"
"It's good, no pain at all, fit for dancing AND winning KING!"
"Right, like you could ever beat ME!"
"So, how are you holding up after the whole car incident?"
"I'm alright. Fit for dancing and beating you yet again!"
"You didnt beat me! You just-"
"Has Tomoyo gotten any disgusting clues lately? I dunno like messages on mirrors, or any freaky dreams?"
"Uh..not to my knowlege, why?"
"No reason.."
"I won't let him near you Sakura...I promise.."
"You don't think he'll have the gall to show up do you?"
"Let's hope not Eriol...because I don't know what I might do.."
Suddenly heart wrentching screams filled the air.
***************************************************************************************************************************
Sakura...
We were picking out baby names when suddenly there came a noise from the attic. We decided it best to check it out together.
Once we opened the attic door, we were amazed at what we saw. A crib filled with toys, baby toys. There was also a note
attached to one of the crib bars. Tomoyo picked it up thinking it was a suprise from Eriol, when suddenly she began to
scream. The note read,
"I'm the proud Papa Tomoyo, not him... If it's a boy we'll call him Jason, if it's a girl we'll call her Tomoyo.. sound good?
I'm not going anywhere Tomoyo... Sakura remember I go where you go..."
I began to scream in horror as we both backed away from the crib as if it had bursted into flames.
Suddenly the attic door was thrown open...
"SAKURA TOMOYO!"
"ERIOL!"
"SYAORAN!"
We were all screaming until we calmed down slightly.
"What happened?"
"Crib. Jason. Note. Tonight."
Tomoyo and I shivered in fear. Eriol ran to comfort the shaken Tomoyo. Syaoran grabbed me holding me tightly never wanting
to let go assuring me that nothing could harm us, that we were untouchable. But we all knew better. Tonight would prove this
to be true...
*****************************************************************************************************************************
Jason...
"Hey hon, did you do as I asked?"
"Yes sweetheart, they got your messages."
"Great! Now, I just need one last favor.."
"Jason, I can't! I'm bound to mess up sooner or later, and they'll catch us both!"
"No, they won't catch us! Just keep yourself focused. Once I'm out of this place, we can live happily ever after.."
"Really? No more Sakura? or Tomoyo?...What about her baby?"
"Don't worry your pretty little head about that Lisa honey, just concentrate on the task at hand... after tonight, all hell
will break loose.. trust me."
"Anything for you Jason, anything...
Tonight the entire world changes.. tonight Sakura Kinomoto will be mine... if anyone dares to interfere... he'll wish he
was never born..watch out Syaoran, the snake will bite once more...
*****************************************************************************************************************************
ONE HOUR TO THE PROM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*****************************************************************************************************************************
Sakura...
Tomoyo and I race to fix our hair for the hundredth time tonight. We had to make sure everything would be perfect, unforgettable
and beautiful. We gaze at our relections in wonder, tonight would be a beautiful night...but something was going to happen,
I knew that much..
"Sakura, Jason is locked up ok? Don't even think it!"
"Tomoyo, I know but..if he's locked up so well, how has he been able to escape so frequently!?"
"Sakura, this night is about you and Syaoran and me and Eriol... nothing will spoil that.."
"You mean you HOPE nothing spoils that.. I know something is wrong Tomoyo..by the look in your eyes, your feeling it too."
"Hey ladies..wow, you two look amazing!"
"Thanks."
Eriol approaches Tomoyo and kisses her sweetly supplying her with the most gorgeous corsage I had ever seen. I smiled
at the beautiful scene.
"Hey beautiful."
"Syaoran! You look very sharp!"
"Don't I always?" (A/N: HELL YES!)
Syaoran pulls out a pink, cherry blossomed corsage. Truly magnificent.
"Oh Syaoran, it's beautiful, I love it!"
"Only the best for you my cherry blossom. Now pause this moment Sakura, because the feeling you are feeling right now
will over ride any other negative ones that you thing will come our way tonight. Nothing will tear us away from this moment."
"OH HOW KAWAII!!! LOOK ERIOL!!!! I think I'm having a revelation! We're at their wedding, Sakura is in the most gorgeous
dress, designed and made by yours truly of course! Look at them, it's like their already saying I do, oh this is truly
beautiful!"
Tomoyo was actually in tears at this point. Eriol laughs uncontrollably while comforting the love of his life.
"Time to go guys, we're off to the night we'll never forget!
end of chapter 20

"Huh? Oh, I'm sorry Eriol... I was just putting the finishing touches on Sakura's dress.. problem is I have all these
ideas, but none of which are on paper... Sakura is suppose to come over so we can work on her dress.."
"Oh, for the Prom huh?"
"Yup... but I don't know, Sakura has been really out of it.."
"She's probably just busy...you know Jason escaping and all... I can't figure it out, how is he able to escape so often?"
"I dunno, unless he has some help from the inside!"
"Tomoyo, please, you sound like a cheep thriller!"
Tomoyo...
We begin to laugh as he craddles me in his arms. I can tell he is worried about me and the baby. I have been stressed out
a lot lately, who wouldnt be? A crazy psycho bursting into our home, threatning us? Still, I look to the prom and I get
this funny feeling... a worried feeling that something will go wrong.. I can't shake it.. I can't shake the fact that it involves
us... I begin to quicker at the very thought... Eriol's craddling becomes more protective.. I know he is ensuring me that
nothing will happen tonight... he won't let it... I smile in gratitude... but tonight will be bigger than any of us anticipate...
somehow, someway, I can tell... I just know..
*****************************************************************************************************************************
Syaoran...
Her words echo continuously over and over again, on a loop that I just can break. I can't help but feel a strange vibe,
that her words were meant to keep me on my guard... and I will be on my guard... something is telling me I need to watch out..
Suddenly, I hear a scream. Not just any ordinary scream, Sakura's scream.
I run up the stairs, skipping over quite a few and thrust open the bathroom door to find her shaking in her towel, hair dripping
wet while her eyes remained glued to the fogged up mirror which read, "C U 2night Babe!".
I wrap my arms protectively around my shaken girlfriend and swallow hard. He won't get her... over my dead body Jason...
"Over my dead body.."
"That's..what..I'm afraid of Syaoran...that's what I'm afraid of..."
********************************************************************************************
Sakura...
"Ouch Tomoyo!"
"Sakura, hold still, you wan't me to poke you?"
"It's a little late for asking isn't it?"
"Just hold still, we're almost... DONE! Oh God it's beautiful! OH SAKURA LOOK WHAT YOU DID!!!!!"
"What? When you pricked me, I bled, what was I suppose to do?"
"OOOH..Dammit! My most elegant piece of art hanging, ...is stained with blood!!!"
My head shot up in awe. What did she call it? "elegant piece of art hanging, stained with blood.." why did that phrase
seem so familiar to me... I find myself trembling... Tomoyo is preoccupied with her thoughts of "kawaii Sakura and Syaoran
love forever" type thing.. I can't help but shudder as a cold chill travels up and down my spine sending goosebumps all over
my body... I suddenly feel cold hands place themselves on the back of my neck, I shriek in horror.
"Sakura.. you ok?"
"Huh? Ya.."
"Sorry.. I guess my hands are a little cold, I told Eriol to shut off the air conditioning this morning before he left for
school."
While Syaoran and Eriol went to school to take double notes for Tomoyo and I, she and I decided it best to hang out together
and finish our dresses while attempting to pick out adorable baby names for her unborn child who still remained hidden
from the world. Syaoran reluctantly decided to let me stay here with Tomoyo for the day, I could tell he was worried beyond
belief.. the message on the mirror cried Jason loud and clear.. "babe", he was the only one that called me that. I find
my teeth chattering in fear... what if he was going to the prom tonight? He is a senior.. He is extremely angry with all of
us... what if...
Suddenly flashes of light flash before my eyes. I see images that are so familiar and yet are so foreign to my eyes.
I see pain, anguish, fear, horror.. I hear inhumain sounds... I feel the room grow colder by the moment... I feel like
I'm falling, never to get up again..
"Sakura? Sakura! Sakura? Get up off the ground, you'll crease your dress even more! Jeez!"
"Huh?..Sorry Tomoyo...I uh..I'm sorry.."
****************************************************************************************************************************
"What is with girls and wanting to stay home to prepare for the prom hours in advance Syaoran?"
"I dunno..."
"I guess Sakura has been pretty psyched too huh?"
"I dunno..."
"She driving you crazy?"
"I dunno..."
"She been dreaming about this night for centuries"
"I dunno..."
"I bet she can't wait to dance the night away with- hey wait a minute! Syaoran?"
"I dunno..."
"DAMMIT! First Tomoyo and now you, am I that boring?"
"Huh? Sorry Eriol, I've just been worried about Sakura..that's all.."
"So what else is new? Can't say that I blame you.."
"Oh, hows your shoulder by the way?"
"It's good, no pain at all, fit for dancing AND winning KING!"
"Right, like you could ever beat ME!"
"So, how are you holding up after the whole car incident?"
"I'm alright. Fit for dancing and beating you yet again!"
"You didnt beat me! You just-"
"Has Tomoyo gotten any disgusting clues lately? I dunno like messages on mirrors, or any freaky dreams?"
"Uh..not to my knowlege, why?"
"No reason.."
"I won't let him near you Sakura...I promise.."
"You don't think he'll have the gall to show up do you?"
"Let's hope not Eriol...because I don't know what I might do.."
Suddenly heart wrentching screams filled the air.
***************************************************************************************************************************
Sakura...
We were picking out baby names when suddenly there came a noise from the attic. We decided it best to check it out together.
Once we opened the attic door, we were amazed at what we saw. A crib filled with toys, baby toys. There was also a note
attached to one of the crib bars. Tomoyo picked it up thinking it was a suprise from Eriol, when suddenly she began to
scream. The note read,
"I'm the proud Papa Tomoyo, not him... If it's a boy we'll call him Jason, if it's a girl we'll call her Tomoyo.. sound good?
I'm not going anywhere Tomoyo... Sakura remember I go where you go..."
I began to scream in horror as we both backed away from the crib as if it had bursted into flames.
Suddenly the attic door was thrown open...
"SAKURA TOMOYO!"
"ERIOL!"
"SYAORAN!"
We were all screaming until we calmed down slightly.
"What happened?"
"Crib. Jason. Note. Tonight."
Tomoyo and I shivered in fear. Eriol ran to comfort the shaken Tomoyo. Syaoran grabbed me holding me tightly never wanting
to let go assuring me that nothing could harm us, that we were untouchable. But we all knew better. Tonight would prove this
to be true...
*****************************************************************************************************************************
Jason...
"Hey hon, did you do as I asked?"
"Yes sweetheart, they got your messages."
"Great! Now, I just need one last favor.."
"Jason, I can't! I'm bound to mess up sooner or later, and they'll catch us both!"
"No, they won't catch us! Just keep yourself focused. Once I'm out of this place, we can live happily ever after.."
"Really? No more Sakura? or Tomoyo?...What about her baby?"
"Don't worry your pretty little head about that Lisa honey, just concentrate on the task at hand... after tonight, all hell
will break loose.. trust me."
"Anything for you Jason, anything...
Tonight the entire world changes.. tonight Sakura Kinomoto will be mine... if anyone dares to interfere... he'll wish he
was never born..watch out Syaoran, the snake will bite once more...
*****************************************************************************************************************************
ONE HOUR TO THE PROM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*****************************************************************************************************************************
Sakura...
Tomoyo and I race to fix our hair for the hundredth time tonight. We had to make sure everything would be perfect, unforgettable
and beautiful. We gaze at our relections in wonder, tonight would be a beautiful night...but something was going to happen,
I knew that much..
"Sakura, Jason is locked up ok? Don't even think it!"
"Tomoyo, I know but..if he's locked up so well, how has he been able to escape so frequently!?"
"Sakura, this night is about you and Syaoran and me and Eriol... nothing will spoil that.."
"You mean you HOPE nothing spoils that.. I know something is wrong Tomoyo..by the look in your eyes, your feeling it too."
"Hey ladies..wow, you two look amazing!"
"Thanks."
Eriol approaches Tomoyo and kisses her sweetly supplying her with the most gorgeous corsage I had ever seen. I smiled
at the beautiful scene.
"Hey beautiful."
"Syaoran! You look very sharp!"
"Don't I always?" (A/N: HELL YES!)
Syaoran pulls out a pink, cherry blossomed corsage. Truly magnificent.
"Oh Syaoran, it's beautiful, I love it!"
"Only the best for you my cherry blossom. Now pause this moment Sakura, because the feeling you are feeling right now
will over ride any other negative ones that you thing will come our way tonight. Nothing will tear us away from this moment."
"OH HOW KAWAII!!! LOOK ERIOL!!!! I think I'm having a revelation! We're at their wedding, Sakura is in the most gorgeous
dress, designed and made by yours truly of course! Look at them, it's like their already saying I do, oh this is truly
beautiful!"
Tomoyo was actually in tears at this point. Eriol laughs uncontrollably while comforting the love of his life.
"Time to go guys, we're off to the night we'll never forget!
end of chapter 20
Long enough? Hope so. Hope it wasnt too boring or anything. R&R!
