" " Talking { } Thinking ( ) Note from me
CHAPTER 16 ~ THE COMBACK
Tonight was the night of the 2nd concert for the Sapphire Blossoms. The rehearsals continued similarly to the first, Sakura had trouble coping, they all did. Melin eventually admitted her feelings for Kai after being confronted by Keroberos and Spinner Sun in their transformed state, even Tomoyo and Eriol were now dating, but even with things coming along smoothly, it wasn't going to be long before something or someone cracked.
~ Flash Back ~
"Argh! I can't take it anymore! Stupid maths work!!" came Sakura's voice from upstairs. "Why has it got to be so hard?!" she added coming down the stairs. "Touya, I'm quitting school" "WHAT?!" yelled Touya. "No you're not, you can't quit yet!" "Yes I can and I will" Sakura shot back, her anger rising (And you know what happens when she gets angry!) "Fine" Touya sighed. "Do what you want" Sakura's face saddened. "I'm sorry Touya" her eyes starting to water. "I'm so sorry, it's just so hard" "I know, look, you can have a week off ok? But you're not quitting" she nodded. "Thanks Touya"
~ End of Flash Back ~
They all got into their positions as the time to perform grew closer. "You ok Sakura?" "Yeah.I guess" "Good Luck" "Thanks Tomoyo" Soon the lights brightened as the music began.
{This one's for you Terumi} she thought.
You could never know what its like, Your blood like winter freezes just like ice, And there's a cold lonely light that shines from you, You'll wind up like the wreck you hide behind that mask you use,
And did you think this fool could never win, Well look at me, I'm coming back again, I got a taste of love in a simple way, And if you need to know while I'm still standing you just fade away,
Don't you know I'm still standing better than I ever did? Looking like a true survivor, feeling like a little kid, I'm still standing after all this time, Picking up the pieces of my life without you on my mind,
I'm still standing yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm still standing yeah, yeah, yeah,
Once I never could hope to win, You starting down the road leaving me again, The threats you made were meant to cut me down, And if our love was just a circus you'd be a clown by now,
(Chorus)
(Next Song)
Last night I had this strangest dream,
I sailed away to China, in a little rowboat to find ya,
And you said you had to get your laundry cleaned,
Didn't want no one to hold you, what does that mean? And you said...
(c:Chorus)
(soc)
They're never gonna break my stride,
Nobody's gonna slow me down, oh no,
I got to keep on moving,
They're never gonna break my stride,
I'm running in a one touch ground, oh no,
I got to keep on moving,
(eoc)
You're on the road and now you pray it'll last,
The road beyond I was rocky,
But now you're feeling cocky,
You looked at me and you see your past,
Is that the reason why you're running so fast? And she said...
(c:Chorus)
(c:Solo over)
Never let another girl like you, whip me over,
Never let another girl like you, drag me under,
If I need another girl like you, I will tell her,
Never want another girl like you have to say - oh!
(c:Chorus}
(soc}
They're never gonna break my stride,
Nobody's gonna slow me down, oh no,
I got to keep on moving,
They're never gonna break my stride,
I'm running in a one touch ground, oh no,
I got to keep on moving,
(eoc)
{This is for you Syaoran} she thought.
Feels like I'm standing in a timeless dream,
Of light mists of pale amber rose,
Feels like I'm lost in a deep cloud of heavenly scent,
Touching , discovering you,
Those days of warm rains come rushing back to me,
Miles of windless summer night air,
Secret moments shared in the heat of the afternoon,
Out of the stillness soft spoken words,
Say, say it again,
I love you always forever,
Near and far closer together,
Everywhere I will be with you,
Everything I will do for you,
I love you always forever,
Near and far closer together,
Everywhere I will be with you,
Everything I will do for you,
You've got the most unbelievable blue eyes I've ever seen,
You've got me almost melting away,
As we lay there under a blue sky with pure white stars,
Exotic sweetness a magical time,
Say, say it again,
I love you always forever,
Near and far closer together,
Everywhere I will be with you,
Everything I will do for you,
I love you always forever,
Near and far closer together,
Everywhere I will be with you,
Everything I will do for you,
Say you'll love, love me forever,
Never stop never whatever,
Near and far and always and everywhere and every,
Say you'll love, love me forever,
Never stop never whatever,
Near and far and always and everywhere and every,
Say you'll love, love me forever,
Never stop never whatever,
Near and far and always and everywhere and every,
Say you'll love, love me forever,
Never stop never whatever,
Near and far and always and everywhere and everything,
I love you always forever,
Near and far closer together,
Everywhere I will be with you,
Everything I will do for you,
I love you always forever,
Near and far closer together,
Everywhere I will be with you,
Everything I will do for you,
I love you always forever,
Near and far closer together,
Everywhere I will be with you,
Everything I will do for you,
"I dedicate this song to a dear friend of mine that passed in an accident just a couple of weeks ago" {this is for you Kai} she thought. "This is it Eriol. Do you think she can do it?" "I hope so Tomoyo, I hope so"
|It's a human sign, | |When things go wrong, | |When the scent of her lingers, | |And temptation's strong, | | | |Into the boundary, | |Of each married man, | |Sweet deceit comes calling, | |And negativity lands, | | | |Cold, cold heart, | |Hard done by you, | |Some things look better baby, | |Just passing through, | | | |And it's no sacrifice, | |Just a simple word, | |It's two hearts living, | |In two separate worlds, | |But it's no sacrifice, | |No sacrifice, | |It's no sacrifice at all, | | | |Mutual misunderstanding, | |After the fact, | |Sensitivity builds a prison, | |In the final act, | | | |We lose direction, | |No stone unturned, | |No tears to damn you, | |When jealousy burns, | | | | | | | | | | |
(Chorus) The lights grow dim and they all dart backstage. "Sakura, you were great, I was surprised you kept it all together!" said Tomoyo. "Thanks, it wasn't easy" (Eriol) {I sense something. familiar} he thought. He went round a corner to find the source of the magic. "Glad you could join us Eriol" said a figure behind the shadow. "What.? How..?" Staggered Eriol. "I'll explain later, but right now, I've got a favor to ask." (Back on Stage) {Where is Eriol? He was supposed to be back by now} thought Sakura. But he didn't show. And before she knew it, it was already time to go on and sing. She smiled to the crowd and was about to start singing, but she stopped. {This isn't the music to 'Listen to your heart'} she thought. She looked over at Tomoyo and the gang, and they were equally confused. "This is." she started as she turned around to see 3 figures, but she couldn't tell who they were, because they were covered in shadow. {I know this music, it's the song Syaoran was making, but only me and Syaoran know about it, who else could know?} She thought. Then one of them began to sing. Sometimes I wonder,
How I'd ever make it through,
Through this world without having you,
I just wouldn't have a clue,
Suddenly Syaoran comes out from the darkness singing.
'Cause sometimes it seems,
Like this world's closing in on me,
And there's no way of breaking free,
And then I see you reach for me,
Then Kai comes out from the darkness singing.
Sometimes I wanna give up,
I wanna give in, I wanna quit the fight,
And then I see you, baby,
And everything's alright, everything's alright!
(Syaoran and Kai)
CHORUS:
When I see you smile,
I can face the world, oh, oh, you know I can do anything,
When I see you smile,
I see a ray of light, oh, oh, I see it shining right through the rain,
When I see you smile,
Oh yeah, baby when I see you smile at me,
Eriol comes out of the darkness singing.
Baby there's nothing,
In this world that could ever do,
What a touch of your hand can do,
It's like nothing that I ever knew,
(Syaoran sings as they all make their way to Sakura, Melin and Tomoyo. I think you know who goes where)
And when the rain is falling,
I don't feel it, 'cause you're here with me now,
And one look at you baby,
Is all I'll ever need, you're all I'll ever need!
(All 3 together)
CHORUS
(Kai)
Sometimes I wanna give up!
I wanna give in! I wanna quit the fight.
And then I see you baby,
And everything's alright, hey, everything's alright,
So right~!
(All 3 together)
CHORUS 2X
The song ends and Sakura looks almost afraid to touch him incase he disappeared. "I'm real Sakura" he said reading her facial expression. "Oh my god!" she whispered as the lights went out to give them a few minutes. "How.?" "When you defeated Terumi, you reversed the effects Terumi did" "Oh god!" she said as she gave him a hug - a tight hug! Then music started and the lights came on. Syaoran smiled at Sakura lovingly. "Kai and I came up with this a few days ago" he informed. She looked at him puzzled.
"Ready guys?" Syaoran asked. They nodded as the music builded
(Syaoran)
I was only seventeen when she looked at me that way,
Seems like yesterday,
I was only foolin` `round but she stole my heart away,
I've never been the same,
(Kai)
I felt the strangest feeling like a raging fire it burned,
She left I cried for weeks and,
I can't forget her, or the lesson that I learned,
(All 3)
Love changes, changes everything,
Love makes you fly it can break your wings,
Sakura looked to see a choir singing the chorus in the background.
Love changes, changes everything,
Love makes the rules from fools to kings,
Love changes, love changes everything,
(Eriol)
Then the years went rollin` by,
I grew up and moved away,
Had to earn my pay,
Found another lover then,
But my heart is sad to say,
It only ended up the same way,
(Kai)
I wondered was I destined to spend my life alone.
Oh girl you answered my question,
This time it's working, you've given me new hope!
(All 3)
Love changes, changes everything,
Love makes you fly it can break your wings,
Love changes, changes everything,
Love makes the rules from fools to kings,
Love changes, love changes everything,
(Syaoran)
I've seen the way love shakes ya, makes ya, breaks ya,
It's got a power of it's own!
(All 3)
Love changes, changes everything,
Love makes you fly it can break your wings,
Love changes, changes everything,
Love makes the rules from fools to kings,
Love changes, love changes everything,
Love changes, changes everything,
Love makes you fly it can break your wings,
Love changes, changes everything,
Love makes the rules from fools to kings,
Love changes, love changes everything,
Syaoran looked at Sakura as the choir continued singing the chorus. "I thought I lost you forever" she confessed. "I'd never leave you, I made you a promise remember?" she smiled and French kissed him as she rapped her arms around his neck, the choir still singing and the audience applauding away.
