CHAPTER 7 ~ THE NEW TRANSFER STUDENT (How original **rolls eyes**)
~Next Day~
"Sakura, wake up or you're gonna be late" "Hoe? What?" "Sakura, we've gotta get to school before we're late" "Hoe? Oh right school, I forgot.um.Syaoran?" "Hai" "Um, have you told Eriol and that about last night yet?" "No, but I think we should sometime today" "Yeah, um I've got singing practice at lunch so how about after school?" "Ok, but we better hurry, we've got 10 minutes" "Hoe?!? What? Why didn't you wake me up earlier?" Syaoran fell over anime style.
"You wouldn't wake up" spoke a voice from the door. "Hoe?!? Touya!! Oh, um, I, we, we didn't-" "I know, Li told me everything, just hurry up or you'll be late" and with that he walked out the door and down stairs. "Syaoran?" He smiled at how clueless she was at times, but he loved her all the same. "I woke up before him and started my training like I do every morning, and when he came down I told him about your dream so you wouldn't get into trouble, and I kicked out" he answered. "Oh, arigato Syaoran" she smiled at how considerate he was being towards her.
~School~ "Hi Tomoyo!" Sakura called to her best friend.
"Hey Sakura" "Tomoyo, can you meet me at Penguin Park today after school?" "Sure Sakura, what's up?" "I'll tell you when we get there; Melin and the rest will be there as well" "Ok, you going to practice today?" "Yep" Ok, I'll see you then" "Yeah, Ja" "Ja"
~Lunch - Practice~
"You ready Sakura?" "Yeah" {Where's Syaoran? He said he'd meet me here} "Oh hi Syaoran, you come here to hear to Sakura?" asked Tomoyo. "Yeah I sure did" "Finally, where have you been?" asked Sakura. "I went to speak to Eriol and Melin" "Oh ok" "Sakura?" asked Tomoyo. "Oh right, which ones will I be singing Tomoyo?" she asked turning to face her. "These" "What? But these were written-" "After Syaoran went back to China" Tomoyo finished. "Yes, so why-" "Because I want to see what he thinks of them" "Ok." She sighed. "Syaoran?" She asked turning back to face her fiancé. "Yep" "Um, the songs I'm going to be singing, were written after you went back to China. Sakura sighs as the music begins.
Across the street the river runs, Down in the gutter life is slipping away, Let me still exist in another place, Running under cover of a helicopter blade,
The flames are getting higher in effigy, Burning down the bridges of my memory,
Love may still be alive somewhere someway, Where they're downing only deer, A hundred steel towns away,
Oh the rhythm of my heart, Is beating like a drum, With the words 'I love you' rolling off my tongue, No never will I roam, For I know my place is home, Where the ocean meets the sky, I'll be sailing.
Photographs and kerosene light up my darkness, Light it up, Light it up, I can still feel the touch of your thin blue jeans, Running down the alley I've got my eyes all over you baby, Oh baby,
Oh the rhythm of my heart, Is beating like a drum, With the words 'I love you' rolling off my tongue, No never will I roam, For I know my place is home, Where the ocean meets the sky, I'll be sailing, I'll be sailing,
Oh I've got lightning in my veins, Shifting like the handle of a slot machine, Love may still exist in another place, I'm just yanking back the handle, No expression on my face,
Oh the rhythm of my heart, Is beating like a drum, With the words 'I love you' rolling off my tongue, No never will I roam, For I know my place is home, Where the ocean meets the sky,
I'll be sailing. (Repeat chorus 2 more times)
The song finishes and Syaoran claps approvingly. "Well?" Sakura asked. "Beautiful" came Syaoran's reply. "Ok, onto number two" said Sakura. (Tomoyo is singing the 'Everlasting love' 'Lasting love' & 'Eternal love' parts with Sakura)
Hearts go astray, Leaving hurt when they go, I went away, Just when you needed me so, Filled with regret, I come back beggin' you, Forgive, Forget, Where's the love we once knew?
Open up your eyes, Then you'll realize, Here standing with my, Everlasting love! Need you by my side, Want to be your bride, You'll never be denied, Everlasting love! From the very start, Open up your heart, Be a lasting part of, Everlasting love~!
When life's river flows, No one really knows, Till someone's there to show, The way to lasting love! Like the sun that shines, You always will be mine, It's eternal love! When the other loves are gone, Ours will be strong, We have our own,
Everlasting love!
Open up your eyes, Then you'll realize, Here I stand with my, Everlasting love! Need you by my side, Want to be your bride, You'll never be denied, Everlasting love! From the very start, Be a lasting part of, Everlasting love! Open up your eyes, Then you'll realize, Here I stand with my, Everlasting love! Need you by my side, Want to be your bride, You'll never be denied, Everlasting love!
Sakura looks at Syaoran after finishing her second song as if waiting for something. "Brilliant Sakura and you wrote these yourself?" "Uh, yeah" she said a bit embarrassed. "Good work" he praised. "Arigato, this one I wrote when I didn't hear from you for that small period of time, do you remember?" "Yes, I do. The elders wouldn't let me write.sorry" he apologized. "That's ok" she said as the music began once again.
I know there's something in the wake of your smile, I get a notion from the look in your eyes, yeah. You've built a love, but that love falls apart, Your little piece of heaven, turns too dark~
Listen to your heart, When he's calling for you. Listen to your heart,
There's nothing else you can do. I don't know where you're going, And I don't know why, But listen to your heart. Before.you tell him goodbye~
Sometimes you wonder if this fight is worthwhile, The precious moments are all lost in the tide, yeah, They're swept away, and nothing, is what it seems, The feeling of belonging.to you dreams~!!!
Listen to your heart, When he's calling for you, Listen to your heart, There's nothing else you can do, I don't know where you're go~ing, And I don't know why, But listen to you heart, Before.you tell him goodbye!!!
There's a gap in the music where Sakura uses to rest as she's singing with full emotion and in high notes. She looks at Syaoran who is sitting there dumbfounded at her performance.
And there are voices, That want to be heard! So much to mention, But you can't find the words! The sent of magic, The beauty that's been! [Beauty that's been!] When love was wilder, than the wind~!!!
(Tomoyo sings) Listen to your heart,
(Sakura sings) Take a listen when he's calling for you,
(Tomoyo sings) Listen to your heart,
(Sakura sings) Take a listen, there's nothing else you can do, I don't know where you're going, And I don't know why, But listen to your heart, Before, ho listen to your heart!
(Tomoyo sings) Take a listen when he's calling for you,
(Sakura sings) Listen to your heart,
(Tomoyo sings) Take a listen, there's nothing else you can do,
(Back to Sakura) I don't know where you're go~ing, And I don't know why, But listen to your heart, Before..you tell him goodbye~
The music starts to fade as if going to end, when suddenly it comes back at full strength and emotion.
Listen to your heart, Whoo, take a listen to it, Ho ohh~ oh ho, Take a, take a listen to~ it, Ehh, yeah, yeah-he, Ho, Whoo, ho, Whoo, wohoo, Ho, Whoo, ho, ooo, Whoo, Ho, Whoo, ho, Whoo, wohoo, Ho, Whoo, ho, Whoo~
The song ends and Syaoran, who is still dumbfounded at the angelic singer in front of him, slowly stands up and claps. Sakura smiles and looks at Tomoyo. "I think he likes it" she said.
Tomoyo nods in agreement. "Sakura" they both turn to look at Syaoran. "Would you like to be a famous singer?" "What?!? How?" "I've got the money, and you've got the talent. Don't tell me you've never wanted to be a famous singer" "Well yeah but-" "But what?" "I never thought I'd have the nerve" "Well, you've sung in front of the whole school, isn't that the first step- ?" "How do you know I've sung in front of the whole school?" "I was there" "It was you!" she accused. "You were the one at the back with the intense amber eyes and.ahh" she trailed off hearing what she just said. "Yes that was me" he said with a smirk "At the back.with the intense amber eyes" he added stretching the tone when he said "intense amber eyes".
"I, you, how, argh" she sighs in frustration. "Why didn't you tell me?" "Because I wanted to surprise you cherry blossom" he said as he walked over to her. "Can I be forgiven?" he asked playing with her hair when he was in front of her. "Kiss me and I'll tell you" "Gladly" he said as he bent down kissing her sweetly on the lips. "Mmm, you're forgiven" she said when they broke apart. "Good" "Alright you two, we better get a move on, the bell just went" spoke Tomoyo who was, as usual, taping the whole thing.
"Ok, what subjects do you guys have next?" asked Sakura sweat dropping at how Tomoyo still used that tape recorder. "I've got English" replied Tomoyo. "Maths" said Sakura in disapproval. "Same" said Syaoran. "Ok, I'll see you guys after" said Tomoyo as she made her way to English class. "Bye" Sakura called after her. "Let's go" said Syaoran. "Ok"
~Math's class~
"Alright, settle down. I have an announcement to make" spoke Mr Terada as he walked into the class room 5 minutes later. "We have a new transfer student from Australia.please come in" The new transfer student walked into the room, momentarily looked straight at Sakura, making her sweat drop, and then at the whole class. "Kai Suzuki, please make him welcome" (I bet you were waiting for Terumi Nakanishi, weren't ya? weren't ya?!) "Now for your seat.there beside Kinomoto" He walked towards his seat and sat without a word. "He makes me nervous" Sakura whispered to Syaoran who was sitting on the other side of her. He nodded in agreement.
"Now class, it's time to move onto what we were doing last Saturday, Algebraic fractions." and he droned on. "Hoeee, I hate maths!" Sakura whined. Syaoran just smiled and sweat dropped.
~That afternoon at Penguin Park~
"Hi Tomoyo, Melin, Eriol" Sakura greeted. "Hi Sakura" said Tomoyo. "So, why are we all here?" asked Melin. Sakura told them the dream she had the night before, and like the last time, she had trouble when she got to the part with all of the lying on the ground, lifeless. "So, her name is Terumi Nakanishi?" Eriol asked softly. Sakura just nodded her head. Syaoran looked thoughtful and worried. "What's wrong Syaoran?" asked a worried Sakura. "I was just thinking, this Terumi, could she have anything to do with Kai Suzuki?"
"Yeah I forgot all about him" replied Sakura. "We got a knew transfer student today, his name is Kai Suzuki. He's got blue hair, ruby red eyes, and is almost as tall as Touya." "And he's strong" added Syaoran, with his thumb on his cheek thinking. "What do you mean strong? How strong?" asked Melin. "Well, from what I could sense from him in maths class, he could be stronger than me but I don't think he's stronger then you Sakura, even so, I think we should be on our guard at all times" he answered seriously. "So what do we do now Syaoran?" asked Sakura.
So, what do ya think of this chappie? I hope it's long enough. Don't forget to R+R k?
