Chapter Eight: Wo Ai Ni (I Love You) -- Part Two
[Flashback, they were GOING to the festival, but something happened . . . (go back to last chapter, you BETTER have read it, cuz you're not going to understand this one.) So NOW they are at the festival, having fun, of course. Well, seemingly . . .]
"Wow! Look, I wanna go catch some goldfish!" Sakura's voice echoed excitedly as she dragged the Syaoran towards a booth draped in yellow cloth. The man there smiled down at them. He took out a bowl and a few very delicate-looking things that looked like bubble-wands with thin nets covering the O part of it.
"Welcome! Catch a goldfish, and ya get to keep it!" the man winked at them, "Catch that one," he pointed to the particularly tiny and iridescent one, which flashed though the water like lightning, "And ya get a special prize."
Sakura smiled at Syaoran, "Wanna try?" Syaoran shrugged, "You first." Sakura dropped five yen on the table (A/N: How much is that in US dollars? I have no clue.) and then picked up one of the nets.
"I'm going to try and get that little one." Sakura said while concentrating on the one with fluorescent scales. The man winked at her, "Gonna be a hard one." Sakura lifted the 'spoon' into the water and quickly tried to scoop the fish up.
The fish seemed to stay, but after a second, it fell though and dropped into the water.
Sakura looked disappointed. "Aww, these things are defected." She said, looking suspiciously at the ladle. The man sweatdropped. Syaoran smirked at her. "You're just clumsy, that's all."
Sakura bit back tears. How come Syaoran was so mean to her all of a sudden? Maybe, just maybe it had to do with that 'incident' that happened when they were leaving. 'Maybe I AM clumsy.' She thought sorrowfully to herself. 'Then that never would have happened.'
Syaoran dropped his yen onto the table and picked up a ladle. Sakura jumped, startled. She had felt his green aura surrounded heavily around the ladle, as if he were using his energy to direct the ladle. Suddenly, the ladle flashed into the water and came up, with the 'prize' fish in his ladle, then into his bowl.
The man looked surprised. "Eh, you're the first one whose gotten it so far, laddie, you're pretty good!" Syaoran shrugged, trying not to blush because Sakura was saying things like 'WOW!" and 'You're so good at this, Syaoran-kun!'
The man handed Syaoran a huge pink teddy bear and a plastic bag with the rainbow fish swimming around in it. "Here ya go, thanks for playing!"
Syaoran turned to Sakura and quickly handed her the bear and the goldfish. "Here." He said gruffly, "For you." Sakura smiled her one-million yen smile at him, her eyes lighting up, "A-arigatou, Syaoran! I was just wondering . . . are we friends?"
Syaoran looked up in surprise at Sakura, his amber eyes puzzled. "N-nani?" Sakura shrugged, "Well, this past week has been really fun and all, so I wondered if we-we were friends."
Syaoran shot a bemused look at her. "A-A-Ano . . . I-I guess so." Sakura smiled, "Okay then. I thought so too. That's all I wanted to kno-look! There is Chiharu, Yamasaki, Tomoyo, and Eriol-kun! Let's go talk to them!"
As Syaoran was towed over by Sakura, he 'seemed' the same way, as before to the 'normal' eye, by if you watched him closely, the corners of his mouth had turned up a bit. (A/N: Hehe!)
*~*~*~*~*~
"Sakura!" Tomoyo giggled as Sakura and Syaoran came over. Chiharu rolled her eyes, "These too have been flirting like crazy with each other ever since we got here." Eriol and Tomoyo stared over at her. "W-what!" Tomoyo glanced back at Chiharu linking hands with Yamasaki, "Oh, and like YOU haven't."
"Whaaaat?!" the two jumped. Sakura smiled, "Well, look what Syaoran got me!" Sakura held up the little bag of the fish and the pink bear. Chiharu's eyes lit up. "Ooh, Yamasaki, could we go and check out the stuffed animals?" (A/N: If anybody knows, Chiharu IS the one with the stuffed animal collection, right?)
Tomoyo was dressed in a magnificent pale purple kimono embroidered with gold leaves, and Chiharu was dressed in an orange kimono with blue flowers. Eriol and Yamasaki both had on similar kimonos to Syaoran, except Eriol's was deep blue with silver and gold, and Yamasaki's was silver-gray with black.
Tomoyo held up a turtle in a little clear box, "Here's what Eriol-kun won!" Sakura and Syaoran shot a look towards each other. 'Eriol-kun?' they both thought. Chiharu, however didn't seem to notice and kept nagging at Yamasaki to go get her a stuffed animal.
"Isn't that Naoko and Rika?" Tomoyo suddenly said, pointing to a booth selling food. Sakura nodded, "Yeah! Let's go, I promised Ker-I mean my brother that I would get some takoyaki for him!" Tomoyo and Syaoran looked at her carefully, while Eriol just smiled secretively.
Tomoyo and Syaoran both knew that Touya hated fried foods. Tomoyo blushed when Eriol but a hand on her shoulder and said softly, "Ladies first." Tomoyo laughed and went forward with Sakura, with Chiharu, Yamasaki, Eriol, and Syaoran trailing behind.
*~*~*~*~*~
"Naoko! Rika!" Sakura squealed, blowing her auburn bangs out of her face as she greeted the two, who weren't very busy, since only a few customers were standing around, eating.
Naoko was dressed in a yellow kimono, with a russet print of sunflowers, and Rika was dressed in a light brown kimono, embroidered with gold and yellow. "Hi, Sakura." They both chorused.
Yamasaki came up to them, holding out ten yen, "Could I have some okonomiyaki? By the way, did you know that the first chefs came UP with okonomiyaki by accidentally dropping-" "You, I am dropping in the pond." Chiharu dragged him off before he could say another word. (A/N: Okonomiyaki is Japanese 'pizza' although I think-no, I KNOW I spelled it wrong.)
Everyone laughed, and then Sakura purchased some takoyaki for Kero or her 'big brother' as she told the others, and everybody went their own ways, except for Eriol, Tomoyo, Sakura and Syaoran who went to the place where fireworks were being shot into the air.
Eriol took Tomoyo off to one side, on a hill by themselves, while Sakura and Syaoran went down by the brook, where the water trickled down into the lake.
*~*~*~*~*~
"Oh Eriol-kun, I've had so much fun!" Tomoyo said softly as she sat down, staring down at her hands, blushing.
Eriol smiled gently at her, "I-I've wanted to tell you something, Tomoyo." He blushed, a faint red flushing across his features. Tomoyo looked up, the moon reflecting off her eyes.
"E-E-Eriol-kun, I've wanted to tell you something too." She said nervously, twisting her hands in her lap uncomfortably.
"You first." They both said at the same time and laughed. Eriol's glasses reflected off the moonlight, making them shine silver. Tomoyo took a deep breath.
"I-I know that many girls like you, Eriol-chan, but-but I can't help it. I- I've fallen in love with you." Tomoyo's voice was almost inaudible as she said this, tears starting in her eyes. Tears trickling down she said, "I- I'll understand if you don't return my f-feelings b-but, oh-"
Eriol put a finger to Tomoyo's lips, motioning her to be quiet. "I've always loved you Tomoyo. Ever since the first time I saw you." His voice, for the first time, losing its natural drawls, and actually seemed quite nervous.
His lips met hers, turning from a searing, passionate kiss into an innocent, delicate one. "Oh, E-Eriol-chan." Tomoyo's voice murmured, her face turning up for another kiss as Eriol shushed her. "Hush, sweet Tomoyo- chan." (A/N: Ee! I can't believe I've turned into a fluff writer. IS that fluff? Hmm. I doubt I'm any good, unlike the wonder, tear-jerking ones that I've read.)
*~*~*~*~*~
Sakura giggled lightly as she looked over at Tomoyo and Eriol, kissing. Syaoran was just staring at Sakura, whose soft auburn hair had come loose and blew delicately in the wind. Her shimmering emerald eyes sparkled in the night, and she seemed to radiate with light.
"Wasn't it fun!" Sakura said softly as she turned to Syaoran, who seemed quiet. Waaay too quiet.
"S-Syaoran?" Syaoran seemed to come to a decision, and smiled at her. "Sakura, I want-want to take you somewhere. Somewhere I've never taken anybody. Will you come with me?"
Sakura nodded slowly, holding out her hand to him. Warm hands clasped hers, and Syaoran whispered in her ear, "Close your eyes, Sakura." A soft smile touched her lips and she closed her eyes, trusting him.
Suddenly the oddest sensation seemed to happen. Just when she was going to ask Syaoran if she could open her eyes, Syaoran's voice said, "You can open them now, Sakura."
Slowly opening them, she let out a small scream. "H-H-Hooooe! I-I-I'm, I mean w-w-we're f-floating in midair!" Sakura said, looking down from her. She bit down her fright, and Syaoran wrapped an arm around her shoulders. "Don't worry. You're in a float bubble."
Sakura relaxed against him, snuggling closer, liking the minty scent of his. Syaoran's eyes were surprised, and then smiled softly as he stroked Sakura's auburn hair gently. "Y-ying Hua . . ." he said softly, as Sakura's eyes fluttered.
"Nani?" came the whisper from her mouth as she drifted from the dream world. "Nothing. We're almost there." Syaoran said gently.
"O-okay." Sakura stifled a yawn as they floated nearing a-a waterfall? The rushing sound was calming, yet so exciting and wonderful at the same time.
"W-wow." Sakura murmured. This was much better than flying on the fly card, safe in Syaoran's arms. They slowly landed, the bubble fading. As her feet touched the soft carpet of grass, Sakura reached the waterfall, which ice-cold water was cascading down from.
Syaoran smiled as Sakura jumped in surprise when the waterfall formed an arch in the center, letting her pass though. Sakura turned to Syaoran, her eyes bright. "S-Syaoran-kun, w-what's this?" Syaoran was quiet.
"This is where I come to train. I-I promised myself, that one day, when I found the girl of my dreams, I would take her here, a-and if she returned my feelings, I-I'd marry her one-day. Sakura, ever dense, smiled back. "That's so sweet, Syaoran." (A/N: Geez! Sakura is SO dense.)
Syaoran shook his head, smiling sadly. He walked though the arch, appearing on a white-marble balcony-style room. Small emerald gems winked from the center of the room, and a sheet of glass - or was it diamond, surrounded three sides, the fourth side, the waterfall.
"Is this another one of your magic things, Syaoran? You must love emeralds, Syaoran." Sakura asked, as Syaoran took a deep breath, coming up to her. (A/N: All ya knows what's coming up next! But I'm adding a TWIST! Cuz I'm evil now! Mwah!)
"Y-Yeah. Emeralds are my favorite type of gem. It's because my favorite color is g-green, and they resemble something else I love." Sakura smiled, her eyes shimmering, "And what's that?" (A/N: *whacks self on head* DENSE SAKURA!!)
Syaoran took another breath. "S-Sakura? I-I have something to tell you. W- would you listen for a moment?
Sakura looked at him, a question in her radiant green eyes, "Yes? What is it?" Syaoran didn't blush for once. (A/N: I'm doing a lot of AN's aren't I? Just get on with the story, you're saying. Well, he didn't blush, for once! Hehe.)
"I-I-I . . ."
Sakura stood motionless, gazing at him, her jade-eyes waiting.
"I-I love . . ."
Suddenly Sakura turned away from Syaoran. "Please don't say it, Syaoran." Syaoran's eyes widened, and he felt his stomach dropping.
"W-What? How-how do you know what I was going to say?" Sakura took a deep breath.
"You were going to say that you loved someone else, even though Syaoran, I love you." Saying this, Sakura looked at Syaoran straight in the eye, still looking shocked.
"Yes, you heard me correctly, Li Syaoran." Sakura said, her voice suddenly breaking, "I love you. I've had ever since that day at the beach, and I don't want to hear you say that you love somebody else, because I-I couldn't stand it for my heart to break."
(A/N: Yes, I'm starting an AN at the beginning of a paragraph, but I KNOW some of you are really disappointed. Hopefully, because if you weren't, I wouldn't be much of a writer then now, right? Everybody say this in his or her review, 'SAKURA ISH SO DENSE!')
Sakura fled from the room, and Syaoran was still in shock. After a second, he dashed out, yelling, "Wait, Sakura, you don't underst-"
Sakura turned to face Syaoran, tears streaming down her face, "I understand perfectly fine, Syaoran Li," she said, back to using his last name, "and I don't CARE what you have to SAY!"
Whipping out the FLY card, she changed it into a broomstick like thing, and swirled up into the air, yelling, "AND never, I mean never, SPEAK TO ME AGAIN!"
To be continued . . . (if you review, that is.)

"Is this another one of your magic things, Syaoran? You must love emeralds, Syaoran." Sakura asked, as Syaoran took a deep breath, coming up to her. (A/N: All ya knows what's coming up next! But I'm adding a TWIST! Cuz I'm evil now! Mwah!)

To be continued . . . (if you review, that is.)

That was soooo sad, wasn't it? I betcha you all want to charge into my house and curse at me for leaving you guys hangin' like that. Hehe, well, tough! I'm updating THIS chapter, very soon after the last chapter, cuz I wanted to get it out of my system, and so now I can finally relax. Can you believe it, the story is almost done. My first finished fanficcy! Yay! Everyone cheer, I even went past the 100 mark with my first one.
Wells, REVIEW everybuds, and then leave your e-mail somewhere in your review for the EIGTH chapter, and I'll ONLY send e-mail updates to everybody who DID. If you didn't or did in the past, that doesn't count. I'm getting tired of going though all the reviews. - Kinomoto Sakura
Also, on an ending note, I made up this song that I WAS going to use . . . but I decided to just put it here. Tell me what you think? Hey, I suck at poetry. Please, just comment on it. It was supposed to go with this chapter . . .
Under a waterfall, Here tonight with you, It's all I want to do, Is to say that I love you
Sorrow is so sweet, Pain is my joy, Tears come now to me, Thinkin' bout you
It's all I wanna do, Is come and love you,
If you'd only let me, I'd explain to you, All the sorrow you've caused I'm just thinkin' bout you.
There's no escape from love, It's like a warm breeze, It'll take you in my arms, There's no escape from me.
So don't try to hide, Cause I'll only find you, To tell you that I love you.
Sooo? What do you think? It stinks? It's good? Hmm? REVIEW, people! I want . . . 150 reviews by the time I post the next chapter. Fair? I hope so, cuz I'm reeeeally tired, and I want a break. Of course, if you guys all post nice, long, and lengthy reviews, I *might* reconsider.
