Chapter 5 Checkmate…..
Rhyu walked up to Sakura and tapped her on the shoulder. She turned around and faced him. "What is he up to…" Sakura thought to her self as she plastered a fake smile on her lips. "Sakura, will you go to the dance with me on Friday?" Asked Rhyu his voice full of confidence, Sakura was quiet for several seconds. Syaoran was curious and had been listening in to the conversation. He realized that Sakura was thinking. "I think now is the right time for me to say some thing." Though Syaoran. "I am sorry to interrupt but I believe that I was just about to ask Sakura to the dance." Said Li with a smirk on his, face. The look on Rhyu's face was so, classic!
"Sakura, will you go to the dance with me?" Asked Syaoran with an unsure voice, Sakura gave him a smile and said "Yes." Rhyu was so upset about all of this. "Why in the world would you not want to go to the dance with me?" Rhyu asked Sakura. " Because you are a pompous little moron." Thought Sakura, but she said something else instead. "Because I am in Love with Li Syaoran, That's why." Said Sakura. "How can you all ready be, in love with him he just got here less than two weeks ago!" Shouted Rhyu who is feeling very jealous of Syaoran.
"Well I can give you many reasons would you like to here them?" Asked Sakura with a, smile on her face. "Give me one." Said Rhyu. "This should be good." Thought Rhyu. "We'll he loves me back. That's all it takes." Said Sakura. "Fine but you'll be sorry that you never went to the dance with me." Said Rhyu he bent down to tell Sakura some thing else that Syaoran could not hear, but Syaoran was watching him very closely. After Rhyu finished he walked off leaving a very stunned Sakura. "What did he tell you?" asked Syaoran with worry and anger in his voice all at once. "Class take you're seats." Said Mr.Terada. Sakura never got a chance to tell him. The rest of the day dragged on.
After school, Sakura was walking out of class with arms linked with Syaoran and Eriol and Tomoyo behind them. "Oh Sakura!" Said a sing song voice. "Do you mind if I speak with you alone?" Asked Stephanie. "Why?" Asked Sakura. "I have some thing to ask you." Said Stephanie. "Syaoran do you mind?" Asked Sakura. "Just don't be gone to long we will wait here for you Sakura right you two?" Asked Syaoran. "Oh yah of course we will wait for you." Said Eriol and Tomoyo.
So once Sakura and Stephanie were by the stairs a distance from her friends so that they could see them just not hear what there saying. "So Sakura did Rhyu ask you to the dance?" Asked Stephanie with anxiety in her voice. "Yes." Said Sakura. "Why do you ask?" Sakura asked wondering if she planned it. Back a few feet a way Syaoran and the gang were talking. "I wonder what they are talking about there conversation doesn't look to friendly." Eriol said to Syaoran and Tomoyo who were also looking towards Sakura's direction. "Who knows I am sure she will tell us when she gets back." said Tomoyo with worry in her voice. "I hope so I hope so." said Syaoran.
------Stephanie and Sakura------
"So what did you say to him?" Asked Stephanie. "What do you think I said to him?" Asked Sakura with anger in her voice. "You mean you said No to him!!!!!????" Shouted Stephanie. "Sakura are you ok down there!" Shouted Syaoran with worry in his voice. "Yah I am fine!" Sakura yelled back and giving him the thumbs up. But truthfully she wished he were by her side.
"You might want to keep you're voice down STEPHANIE. My friends are starting to worry. And hurry up I have plans, with them." Said Sakura. "You mean after all that work I put into my plan you're saying it back fired in my face just because you said NO!" Stephanie shouted in a whisper. "Yep I guess so." said Sakura as she was walking towards her friends. Sakura was half way to them when Stephanie grabbed her arm. Sakura turned around. "What do YOU want NOW?" She asked. "I will let you know this now." Said Stephanie with coldness in her voice. "That I will do any thing and I mean anything to get to Li Syaoran Sakura. I love him probably even more than you do." And with that she let go of her arm and walked off and tripped over her own to feet, but didn't fall. "Are you all right?" Asked Sakura with some laughter in her voice. Stephanie didn't respond and kept walking down the stirs. So what did that BRAT want now?" Asked Tomoyo as they were walking too the ice cream parlor.
"I will tell you when we get there." Said Sakura with an airy voice because, she didn't really care about Stephanie's threats because she never carried them out. Once they walked in through the doors laughing like crazy because Syaoran told the most hilarious joke in the world. (Yes he did tell a joke, but I am not saying what it was. Sorry! Gotta keep some things to them selves' right?) The laughing stopped once they saw her brother at the counter. "Onii~Chan! What are you doing here?!?" Sakura asked when they were ordering there ice cream. "Oh just Working." he said. "So you here with Li Syaoran I see." He said with a twinkle in his eye that was telling Sakura he approved of him so far. "Yes I am also with Tomoyo and Eriol as well. Touya I would like to introduce you to Eriol Hiragizawa. He is dating my friend Tomoyo." She said with a smile. Eriol and Touya shook hands. "It's very nice to meat you Touya." Said Eriol very politely. "Same here." Said Touya. After the introductions, they ordered there ice cream and found some seats in the back so that Touya couldn't hear what they were talking about.
So as they were eating there ice cream Sakura had just finished telling them what she and Stephanie talked about. "Why that little scheming conniving brat!" shouted Tomoyo. "Keep it down Tomoyo-chan I don't want Touya to find out about this." Said Sakura in a whisper looking over at Touya too see if he heard. "Oh ya Sorry..." Tomoyo said. "Sakura I will be by you're side every second of the day at school and at the dance tomorrow." Syaoran said while putting an arm around Sakura and gave her a little hug.
When they left they took Sakura home first just incase Stephanie was going to plan any thing to harm Sakura. "Thanks for walking me home you guys." said Sakura. "I would do any thing for my Angel to keep her safe." Said Syaoran and then he gave her a short and sweet yet passionate kiss. When they parted Sakura whispered and I love you to Syaoran. And Syaoran did the same.
Sakura walked inside her house and ran up stairs. She closed her bed room, and slid down to the floor with a sigh. Kero flew over to her and asked her. "Sakura are you all right?" Asked Kero. Yes Kero I am better than all right. "Syaoran just gave me a kiss." She said as she could still taste it because Syaoran had Chocolate ice cream. She put her fingers to her lips. "WHAT! YOU MEAN TO SAY THAT YOU ACTUALLY LIKE THAT GAKI KID!" Shouted Kero. "Kero keep it down my dad is home you Know and yes I am dating LI Syaoran and he is not a Gaki kero." Sakura said. After she took her shower and got in pajamas she got into bed. Oyasumi kero. Said Sakura as her eyes fluttered shut. Oyasumi and sweat dreams Sakura he said as he gently patted Sakura on the head before he flew to his bed… (It is 9:40 p.m.)
Sakura's Dream:
"Were I?" She asked. There was complete darkness all around her. Then there was a voice. "The power is with you and as long as you know that you're powers are strong you can do any thing." "Hey that's Clow Reed's voice." Sakura thought to her self. Then there was a light that flashed in front of Sakura's eyes.
Then an evil voice was heard. "Once you have all of the cards collected, I will take them from you and you will die!" Then the voice started to laugh and then Sakura started falling falling falling until the darkness swallowed her.
End of Dream.~*~
"AHHHHHHH!" Sakura was shouting in her sleep. "Kid wake up!" "Please you have to wake up and tell me what's wrong." Shouted Kero. He was floating right in front of her face. (Not a good place to be when she wakes up…) Sakura bolted out of be and sent Kero flying into the wall across the room. Sakura was breathing heavily from the dream she just, had.
Sakura rubbed her eyes so that she could see better, once she opened them. Then once she opened them, she saw kero was on the floor rubbing his head. "Oh Kero I am sorry if I flung you into the wall." Said Sakura as she, was suppressing a laugh. "Well you better be." Said Kero who was in pain. "Because being thrown across a room, is not what I call fun." Said kero. "So what was you're dream about?" Asked Kero. "That must have been pretty in tense if you were screaming in you're sleep like that." Said Kero with worry in his voice. "I think it was a premonition dream that predicts stuff" said Sakura with confusion in her voice. "Poor Sakura why did Clow Reed have to give Sakura the gift to have these types of dreams?" Wondered Kero. "Can you remember any of the dreams Sakura?" Asked Kero. "Yah I can." Sakura got this far away look when she was retelling her dream.
"I was standing in nothing but darkness all around me." Started Sakura. "Then I heard Clow Reed's voice." "What did Clow Reed say Sakura?" Asked Kero. "He said that, the power is with you and as long as you know that you're power's are strong you can do any thing." "Hmmmm I wonder what he meant by that." Kero expressed his thoughts out loud. "There is more to my dream Kero." "More?" All Sakura did was nod her head. "There was a voice and it told me that it would take all of the Clow cards and Kill me." And then I was falling into the darkness.
"Wow I have no idea what this dream is telling you, but may be once we collect a good portion of the cards, then I will teach you another spell." "Until then I will think on what you're dream means ok Sakura? Don't worry champ you are the destined one for the clow cards I know you are!" Shouted Kero with a smile on his face. "Yah ok kero." Sakura looked at her clock, "OH MY GOD I AM LATE!" Kero shook his head " Sakura makes a good clow mistress but she will never learn to be on time." thought Kero with a smile. Then he turned on the t.v. and started to play his V wars game. "Bye Kero!" Sakura skated really fast.
Sakura went to her locker and shoved her skates in and ran to her class. When she reached her class she fell on her but and skidded down the hall way a little bit. Kids and teachers looked out the class room door to see what was happening, because they heard some thing hit the floor and go sliding. Then Sakura picked her self up and walked into her own class room.
Sakura noticed that teacher was facing the chalk board. She looked at her seat and saw her friends stare at her in wonderment. She tip toed to her seat. She was half way there when Stephanie just "happened" to stick out her foot out and tripped her. Sakura landed on the floor with a thud. "You're late Ms. Avalon." Detention right after school. Then Syaoran raised his hand. "Yes Mr. Li Syaoran?" "Sir Sakura has only been late just this once in the week so I don't think that it would be faire if she got detention sir." Sakura was walking to her seat and sat down just as he finished saving her from detention. "Hmmm you do have an excellent point Li very well spoken for. Sakura you only have a warning but next time you're boyfriend won't be able to get you out of it next time is that clear Ms. Kinomoto?" Mr. Terada questioned.
Sakura mumbled "A yes Mr. Terada." "Good now lets get back to our math lesson Sakura turn to page 120." "Yes Mr. Terada." So the rest of the day went on really slowly. Then the last bell rang. Stephanie walked up to Sakura and her friends. "Hey Li you might want to protect you're GIRLFRIEND there you never know what might happen to her next." Stated Stephanie and she laughed and walked up to her friends. "What's her problem?" "Just for get about her and let me deal with it I have some things planed for her." Said Sakura. "I would do any thing to protect Li." Thought Sakura. Every one just stared at each other and wondered what Sakura was planning to do.
Later that night Sakura got ready for her date for the dance. Sakura is wearing her favorite dress of all time. It is a nice soft pink spaghetti strapped dress that goes down to her knees and has a flower in the center at the top. She had light pink lipstick on her lips and she added perfume that smelled of cherry blossoms. "Sakura! Li is here!" Shouted Mr. Kinomoto. "Coming dad!" said Sakura and then in a lower voice she said, see yah later to night kero". Kero gave Sakura a small hug on her shoulder and told her to have a good time and went back to is game that he had been playing ever since he had woken up.
Sakura walked down the stairs in a graceful manner. " I think she got her mothers talent for being a model." Said Touya with a smile, on his face. "Yes and she has a good taste in close." Mr. Kinomoto said and pointed at Li who was staring at her with a smile on his face. When Sakura walked up to Li, "she said are we ready to go?" "Yes only I bought a corsage for you." He said there was a hint of red on his cheeks. He put the flowers on Sakura's wrist. (The flowers were gorgeous there were some baby breath and a rose that was a soft yellow color to go along with her dress since it was pink.) "Sakura I want you back at about 11:00 p.m. tonight." Said Mr.Kinomoto. "Don't worry Mr. Kinomoto I will get her home safe and sound." "Don't worry Li I trust you." Only Mr. Kinomoto didn't say it Touya said it. Mr. Kinomoto nodded in agreement and smiled and took a picture of them. (Shocked weren't yah? Didn't expect that coming form Touya's mouth huh?) "You to better get going. It's all ready 7:30." Said Sakura's dad with a smile on his face. "Bye dad and Touya." Sakura gave them a hug and walked out the door with Li.
When they were out side, Sakura saw a limo. "Om my god! Syaoran you didn't have to do all of this…" Sakura said in awww. When they got into them limo, Sakura was greeted by Eriol and Tomoyo. "Syaoran you picked them up as well." Asked Sakura. "Why not? There my friends as we'll ne?" Syaoran said with a smile. Sakura gave him a big hug and the rest of the way they were talking and laughing.
When they reached the school, Syaoran told Wai to come about 10:00 p.m. to pick them up. After the limo pulled a way, Syaoran and Sakura were, arm in arm as well as Eriol and Tomoyo.
