Chapter 9 Singing Out My Heart
All through dinner there was no sound except for the moving of forks, knives, and cups. After everyone finished their meal Touya and Syaoran offered to clean the table and dinner dishes. When Sakura left the room a conversation finally began. "Gaki, thank you."
"It's nothing." Syaoran put another dish in the drying rack. "I might be rich but I have washed dishes before." Touya smacked his own head as Syaoran turned to look at him. Seeing Touya with an 'I can't believe he doesn't get it' expression on his face, Syaoran realized what he meant. "Oh, you mean about that. That was my duty. In a way it was my fault." Looking down sadly, Syaoran placed the washcloth in the sink. "I should've been upstairs with her. I knew someone with power was after her, I should've kept my eyes open."
"Again?" Touya said as if expecting it. "Why can't they just leave Sakura alone and bug someone else?"
"I don't know but I'm going to go upstairs and make sure that creep doesn't come back or anyone else for that matter and." Walking by a plate of cookies, Syaoran snatched them. "I'll eat these cookies!" he dashed up the stairs.
"HEY! THOSE ARE MY COOKIES!" Touya hollered up the stairs but he turned around, giving up. He knew he would never see his chocolate chip cookies again.
Lying unused in a drawer of a desk were the Sakura cards. A pink glow was coming from a card. It chuckled before the glow slowly faded until it was gone.
Syaoran slowly walked down the hall to Sakura's room. Sighing, he knocked on the door. There was no response. He knocked again and said "Sakura." Silence. He banged on the door and started to yell. "SAKURA!" he got the same response. He then burst into her room as she turned to look at the person who opened her door. "You had me scared to death." He said while letting out a sigh of relief.
"What?" Sakura asked as she stared at him.
"I said you had me scared to death."
"What? Speak louder."
"I said you had me scared to death."
"What'd you say?"
"I SAID YOU..!" Syaoran walked up to her and lowered the volume on the CD player. "I said you had me scared to death."
"Oh, I'm sorry. I was listening to my CD player, the volume must've been a little to loud."
"Yeah, just a little too loud." Syaoran said with a hint of sarcasm. He took a seat next to her and stared at the ground. "I'm sorry, for what happened today."
"Me too." She looked at the ground. "After all, both of us were almost raped. Me by Brandon and you by Rebecca."
"Yeah, that's true." He lifted up his head and so did she. Looking into his eyes she could still notice no love, Syaoran was still loveless, So much for her thinking he was turning around. Sakura gathered up her courage and blurted out. "Do I confuse you Syaoran?"
Shock surfaced on his face. 'How.How'd she know I've been confused about my feelings.towards her?' Syaoran thought as he went to speak but singing came out instead. "These feelings confuse me, oh how they do. When you're here I feel at ease, oh how I do but there's something deep inside saying that it's wrong, oh how it's wrong."
Sakura also responded in song. "I won't lie about this, this love I bare for you deep inside, oh how it burns deep inside, wanting to come out but I keep it inside so you can live, oh how I bare the pain. I love you and we should be more than we are now, oh how we should be together."
"But don't you see? Don't you see what this thing called love does to you? Look at how you ache loving me. This is why I prevent love. Stop this plague from hitting me. Follow me and give up on petty dreams of love, it's just a silly game everyone plays."
"Oh you know none of that's true." Walking up to him, she sang and grabbed his hand. "I ache for you, yes that's true but love helps me bare such pain. Knowing you're living, breathing, gives me relief through this long journey. Feeling your heart beat right now is all I need to be happy. Just knowing you're alive and near is all I need."
"But don't you see, you're a fool."
"But I'd rather be foolish than unhappy and confused."
"I'd rather be unhappy than blinded by love."
"if you look closely you'll see you'll be lost if you don't love. Open your heart and care, than you'll escape all the horrors that haunt you."
"I don't see why love is so great but," Syaoran walked to the door and opened it. "maybe one day I will. Maybe one day your wish for love will be real but until then your love will be lost in my sea of hate." Syaoran left leaving a out of breath and dumbfound Sakura. She noticed a glow from her desk. "SONG!" The card floated out and slowly made its way to Sakura. "Was what just happened your doing?"
"Yes mistress."
"Why would you do such a thing?"
"For mere fun." Song lied.
"What?"
"Well you haven't called upon me in such a long time I had to perform some magic. I'm sorry." Song lied again.
"I forgive you." Sakura said as she held the card and put it away before heading downstairs to tell Syaoran what just happened.
"Song did what I instructed her to do." Said a voice on a phone.
"That's good! Well we'll see you at school. Good night." Rebecca hung up the phone and smiled.
"Well?" asked Brandon.
"Sakura and Syaoran have confided in each other as to what has been on their minds. Now it's only a matter of time. WE will act soon." Rebecca looked out the window and placed a hand on the glass. "Very soon."
A/N: So whatcha think?
Syaoran: SONG'S A BACKSTABBER?!?!?!?!?!?? IS IT TRUE OR ARE YOU MAKING THIS UP?"
SSK: Well you see. *Syaoran grabs her neck and shakes her*
Syaoran: Tell us! We need to know!
SSK: *Face turning blue. Holds up sign* Please review so I can put up the next chapter soon and save myself from suffocating.
