Chapter 7. Maybe
"Here Meiling," Syaoran mumbled holding out the pink dress he bought while out in the city. He still didn't have the courage to give Sakura it so he gave it to Meiling instead.
"Wai!!!" Meiling cried. "You shouldn't have! Arigato!"
Syaoran mumbled something in response and walked over to Sakura's room.
It was the next morning and he and Meiling were about to start the tour they were going to give to Meiling and Yue. Syaoran knocked but got no response.
"Sakura?" he called. Still no answer.
"SAKURA!!!" Meiling pounded on Sakura's door. She sighed in frustration when she got no answer, but she could hear snoring from behind the door. Syaoran was leaned on the wall, arms crossed.
"That's some sleeper.." Yue muttered.
Syaoran looked up. "Ok, it's time to take some drastic action."
He walked over to the next room, which was a storage room and jumped on old boxes until he reached a window at the very top. He opened it and the daylight came pouring into the dark gloomy room. He climbed onto the windowsill and looked to the direction of Sakura's room. He studied it carefully for a second and then jumped.
"Syaoran! What are you doing??!!" Meiling screeched running to the window in the storage room.
She saw Syaoran land gently on the balcony railing and sighed.
Syaoran pulled the handle but it wouldn't budge. He groaned and his hand glowed green, making sure Meiling couldn't see, he stood in front of his hand. He pushed the handle again and this time it opened.
"Sakura!" he shouted into Sakura's ear, kneeling beside her. He had to admit, she looked really peaceful and cute when she was asleep.
"Ahhh!!!" Sakura screamed sitting up, so abruptly, that her head smacked into Syaoran's.
"Ow!!!" Sakura and Syaoran shouted together, both burying their heads in their hands.
Syaoran rubbed his head and looked up at Sakura.
"Sakura! How can you sleep so much?!" he yelled. "Get up already!!"
"Syaoran! How are you always able to get into my room and always able to annoy me first thing in the morning!?" Sakura yelled back.
"Syaoran! Sakura! Open the fucking door!" they heard. (a/n: I don't usually swear well fine I do but not that word and I am only 11.. -_-)
Sakura winced at her words and Syaoran shouted, "Meiling!!! Watch your mouth!"
"Well, sorry! If you'd just open this f-" Meiling was interrupted by Syaoran who swung the door open angrily.
"Uh-oh," Yue said. "You're in for it this time, Meiling."
Meiling gulped. "G-gomen ne!" she yelled.
"Meiling, Sakura's just a kid!" Syaoran stated with a hint of a smile.
"Hey!" they heard from inside. "I'm the same age as you are, Syaoran Li!"
"Yes, Sakura dear," Syaoran smirked. "Of course you are."
"Ooo, is the great Syaoran Li flirting with Sakura?" Meiling grinned.
Syaoran fumed.
"Don't you ever learn your lesson," Yue said, rolling his eyes and leaning on the wall.
"Ehehe.." Meiling laughed, helplessly. "Sakura, I'll meet you in Tomoyo's room!" she shouted running away.
Syaoran turned to Sakura who was about to lie down on her bed again. "Don't you dare," Syaoran warned.
Sakura grumbled and got out from bed and went to her closet room.
Syaoran shook his head. "Girls.." He muttered while Yue laughed.
About 30 minutes later, Sakura was in Tomoyo's room.
They were busy doing each other's hair.
"Tomoyo, your hair is so much nicer when you're in Akihabara!" Sakura exclaimed brushing Tomoyo's silky dark purple hair.
Tomoyo smiled. "This environment is much better and there aren't any nasty things flying around."
Sakura agreed. "So, Meiling, when are we having the tour?"
"I'll just get Syaoran to take you," she mumbled braiding Tomoyo's hair.
"I knew it," Sakura sighed. "I have a feeling I'll always be stuck with Syaoran, because you always insist on getting us together."
"How predictable," Tomoyo murmured.
"How right you are, dear Sakura," Meiling laughed.
"So, do you guys have magic?" Sakura asked.
They both nodded.
"Can you show me?" she asked.
Tomoyo suddenly glowed purple and Sakura found herself outside, in the balcony.
At first she was surprised and excited until she found out that the balcony door was locked. She pounded on the door.
"TOMOYO!!!" she screamed from outside.
Meiling and Tomoyo laughed and Meiling glowed red. Sakura screamed as the glass door from the balcony seemed to dissolve. She fell face first on the ground, but luckily there was carpet. Sakura didn't notice the glass appear in the door again. (a/n: Sorta like that time in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone when Dudley falls in the snake's display thing.)
Sakura got up. "That was amazingly cool!" she exclaimed surprising both Tomoyo and Meiling. "But, amazingly MEAN!!!" she yelled, and plopped onto Tomoyo's bed.
"Gomen Sakura!"
Sakura sighed, and looked at her watch, which Meiling looked at as well with interest. "11:30. I'm going for breakfast."
"Have a light one, Sakura," Tomoyo said watching her go. "It's almost lunch time."
Sakura nodded and waved.
Sakura saw Syaoran eating at the breakfast table and she went to join him.
"Syaoran, are you giving me a tour?" Sakura asked taking a tray of food from a waiter.
"Is that what Meiling said?" Syaoran responded.
Sakura nodded.
"I guess so then."
"Great, when are we going?"
Suddenly there was a huge explosion.
They both jumped up. It was coming from somewhere near the guestrooms. They ran towards there following the sound of the noise. As they ran closer, they heard it from Sakura's room. Sakura screamed when she saw her door burnt but still holding up.
"Sakura, let's go! It's too dangerous!" Syaoran yelled.
Sakura was about to leave, when she remembered something. "No! I can't!"
Syaoran looked at her as if she were crazy.
"My photo album!"
Syaoran sighed. "Let's go in together then," he said knowing how important it was to her.
Sakura nodded. They got closer to the door and opened it with her key.
They held hands and ran in together covering their mouths with their spare hands.
"There!" Sakura exclaimed. She ran over and picked up her album, which was lying on her bed. She also took her bag and watch too.
"Hurry up!" Syaoran yelled looking at the door.
They both ran out still holding hands. Tomoyo, Eriol, Meiling, and Yue were standing there watching with horror and fear. All six of them ran away from the burning door and out into the garden. They collapsed onto the garden bench.
"What... What was that?!" Sakura asked panting.
"Remember there's a spy in this castle," Meiling said standing up. "I think he's trying to take down Sakura."
"What do we do?!" Tomoyo cried.
Just then, Yelan came running up.
"S-Syaoran!" she screamed. "Everybody! Are you ok?"
They all nodded.
"H-hurry! You have to leave now!" she exclaimed.
"But-"
"Just go!" Yelan shouted.
Syaoran nodded. "I'll get the horses. Everybody get ready."
"I'll come too!" Yue said.
Syaoran nodded and they ran off.
"Aunt Yelan?" Eriol asked.
Yelan looked up.
"We'll need money."
Yelan nodded and gave him a bag of coins. "Take it all and spend it wisely. It's all you have."
They thanked her just as Syaoran and Yue came running up each carrying two horses.
Syaoran was also holding a bundle of heavy cloaks, two rolled up tents, and a bag of food.
"We have everything we need. Are we ready to go, mother?" Syaoran asked tying the items to the horses.
Yelan nodded and sniffed. "I'll miss you so much!"
Syaoran nodded and kissed his mother on the cheek. Then he hopped onto his horse, they all took turns saying good-bye to Yelan and then got on to their respective horses.
Sakura blushed as she held onto Syaoran's waist.
Syaoran knew his mother would burst out crying if he said anything more so he left without turning back. The others followed. Meiling and Yue were on one horse and Tomoyo and Eriol were on another. Yue was blushing madly and Tomoyo and Eriol were clearly enjoying being together.
When they left the palace property, Meiling asked, "Where's the Konyuka village?"
"It's pretty far from here so we won't have to go in those cloaks just yet," Syaoran answered.
She nodded. The ride was filled with silence and they all just stared at the road ahead.
"So..." Sakura started trying to break the tension. ".. How.. Is everybody?"
They all sweatdropped and murmured, "Fine, fine..."
"Where does The One live?" Sakura asked.
Syaoran shrugged.
"What??!!" Sakura cried.
"We're following this," Syaoran said holding out a small silver locket.
Sakura took it and opened it. There was a secret radar inside. There were several moving dots. One was a particularly large dot and it wasn't moving.
"We think this is The One," Syaoran said reaching forward and pointed to the large dot. "The dots are the people with magic, and it shows that this dot has a large amount of magic."
Sakura nodded. "Wow, The One is very far away." she said sighing.
"Yeah," Syaoran responded.
There was more silence until...
"Syaoran?"
"What is it, Sakura?"
"How'd you get into my room this morning?"
"..."
"I could've sworn I locked all my doors."
"Well maybe you're wrong."
"Not likely."
"Just be quiet."
"Why?"
"Because I said so."
"Why're you always like that, Syaoran?"
"Like what?"
"You always act like you're in charge of everyone."
"I was born to be."
"What do you mean?"
"I'm the emperor of this entire country. I rule here. It's my destiny."
"Is it really your destiny? To sit on your ass, telling people what to do instead of being out there seeing and being in the real world?"
"What is your destiny, Sakura?"
"I... Don't really know. I just know that I'm supposed to be here. Maybe this is my destiny."
"How do you know for certain?"
"It's there. Feel it."
"If you can feel it, then why do I have this feeling that being emperor is not my destiny?"
"Maybe it isn't."
"Maybe."
"I feel... This is our destiny together."
"Together?"
"This is our journey. Our destiny. Do you think so?"
"Maybe. Maybe I think this is our destiny. Maybe."
The conversation ended as Syaoran felt Sakura rest her head on his back. She was asleep.
He sighed. 'I wish this is our destiny... Together..' He thought. 'Wait! What am I thinking?!' He shook his head.
"Tomoyo?" Eriol asked.
"Hmmm?" she responded.
"There's something in me that's telling me that this is Sakura and Syaoran's destiny," he said.
She looked up.
"It's just a feeling," Eriol whispered with a little smile.
"Ahhh..." Syaoran grinned broadly. "We're here!"
He got off the horse and shook Sakura.
"Sakura!" he shouted.
"Wha!?" she shrieked jumping and grabbing the reins of the horse.
Syaoran laughed loudly.
She glared. "Hmph!"
"Well you stay on the horse and we'll go into our cloaks," Syaoran said and grabbed the bundle that was attached to his horse.
He tossed them to Tomoyo, Eriol, and Meiling and put one on himself. He pulled the hood over and ran ahead of Sakura. Tomoyo, Eriol and Meiling did the same.
"Start riding in 5 minutes!" Syaoran called.
Sakura nodded and Yue took the reins of the extra horse.
"Sakura?" Yue asked.
"Yes?"
"Do you like Syaoran?"
Sakura smiled gently. "Maybe."
