Chapter 1: Moonless Passion
-
The afternoon sunlight streaked through the bedroom's window. And finally brings consciousness to the young warrior sleeping under the white soft blanket. He gradually opens his eyes to welcome the day or rather the afternoon. He stood up leisurely as his hands kept on brushing his already messy hair.
He quickly changed his clothes, put his sword onto the sheath, and throw his things on his large traveling bag. His amber eyes scanned the whole room looking for indication that he has left something. When he agreed to himself that he didn't forget anything he ran towards the door muttering some curses under his breath.
Now on he goes down the staircase founding a woman was waiting for him and has this I'm-so-happy-I'll-have-extra-money-thanks-to-you kind of smile.
"So~ mister Syaoran the wanderer . . . has finally woke up from his slumber." The woman's smile grew larger than before now indicating I'm-so-good-at-this-he'll-definitely-gonna-pay.
"You knew well enough that exactly nine o'clock, rented rooms should be left or else. . " she trailed her fingers to his well-built body and continued. " . . .Their payment will be doubled because it will be considered staying in two nights." She lashed out her eyelashes and continues trailing her fingers to his chest. But even with her devilish statement the young warrior was completely calm and just smiled to her his remarkable ha!-just-you-wait-and-see-if-you-could-resist-my-irresistable-charm kind of smile.
"Oh! Yes! Of course! Lady . . ." he flashed her a questioning look and she whispered into his ear "Kaede, the name is Kaede' he leered at this ah . . . this is just too easy now.
"That's a very good name for such a lovely lady like you" he stated holding out his hand. Kaede thought he was handing her the money or going to shake her hand but instead he leaned down and kissed the back of her hand. "Your quite the charmer are you not?" she giggled and he knew she's falling for it.
"Well in fact everyone says that. But you see I've been traveling for a long time now. Unfortunately I've never look twice to a woman before . . . since I'm looking for the most perfect one. And you know what? She's right in front of me." Her face flushed with his words and has fully fallen to Syaoran's trap. "But now I've found her I'll be taking a much longer time because I'll have to pay her and on the other hand I will have to travel and leave her to look faraway in search for the largest diamond ring I could see and insert it to her slender finger." Her eyes becomes dreamy mode and to Syaoran's language this means "I won"
"Aw! Really? In such short time you fell in love with me? AWWW!!! T-then what are you waiting for? Leave already! The sooner you leave the sooner you'll return!" she shoved Syaoran outside blushing, while he laughed on the inside. "It's really hard for me to be away from you, but then I'll have to search for the perfect exchange to have my precious prize" he lied holding his laugh. This is far way too easy. "AW! You should really go. Bye!" she said one last time and off he goes to his journey.
'Phew! Remind me not to go back to this town anymore.' He murmured to his new companion. "Why didn't you wake me up anyway? Don't you have concern over me huh?" he continued rumbling to his friend. "Ah- Syaoran the last time I woke you up I end up hanging on a tree." His companion said, sarcasm was spread to every word. "What do you mean by that Kazuo?" Syaoran asked wearing his I-didn't-do-that kind of pout.
Kazuo just laugh at his friend and pats him on the back. "Haha! You wouldn't get mad at me right, when I tell you that you couldn't return to any place at all after a few more journey since you said that very same statement wherever you'll go"
"Huh? What statement?" Kazuo just laugh at his wolf-like friend. "Me to remind you not to go back to whatever place you've gone to. Since you've promised to marry every woman you saw!"
"I did not!" Syaoran protested childishly and just earned a lot more laugh from Kazuo. "By the way Syaoran, I have to go to my mother first she said my father is very sick and they want me to go home for a while." Syaoran looked sympathetically to his friend and quickly puts some money to Kazuo's pocket. "W-what are you doing man!? I can't take this! This is your money!" but Syaoran just shook his head and his hands went onto his pockets and started to go off waving backwardly to his friend. "Just be careful okay? Let's try to meet up someday, just use our special mail service courtesy of your loyal pet bird Pia"
"Thanks man! I owe you this one!" Syaoran didn't even look back again and just went on his way with a smile on his lips. He would surely miss Kazuo but it's more important for him to visit his father since he knows the feeling of having no one.

Syaoran wasn't any normal guy. He has some features normal people don't have. One of these is his powers, and his great skill in sword fighting. But the other thing that sets him apart from others was his hidden green gem on his left chest. He always wonders what it was for, he even tried to pull it out but whenever he will a strong jolt would come to his body leaving his body numbing in the ache.
Apparently he has a very sad life. Although it doesn't look like he was someone to have such lonely life because of his out-going attitude. He certainly has one good reason for it. He has no memory. And even how sociable he would be, he could never really settles in one place and that makes him so alone in his life. However some time later he came across Kazuo which loves to travel and joins him since then but now he would be alone again since Kazuo was needed by his family and he doesn't want to keep him away from his family. Because that is something he doesn't have. A family. A memory. A life . . .
~*~
Lost in his thoughts, Syaoran gaze confusingly at his surrounding. Just his luck to ended up in a forest. Curse his feet for carrying him to this place. Curse his mind for drifting of too deeply in his thoughts. Curse him for being stupid. And there goes his mental struggling.
He plopped down under a large tree and decided to just sleep there. He would just scare the life out of whoever dares to wakes him. Oh yes his an expert in that particular subject. Soon his breathing slowed and had fallen to sleep

I felt myself draining, running once again to an endless vast of void. The door opens before me and I found myself captivated to the immaculate woman that was standing in front of me.
Her pure irrevocable actions . . . her majestic hands making contact to my worn out body . . . Those smile, her presence alone gives me enough reason to grab her. . . kissed her . . .
Such bold actions she allowed me to do. She was completely suffocating my whole being until I felt my character diminish.
Her soft features, her fortifying smell, her silky auburn hair that would always plays with the cool air. She'll smile to me and we'll look up together bathing ourselves under the moonlight. She'll point her slender finger unto the stars and look up to me as if yearning. And as return I'll brush my lips to hers, continuing our forbidden acts. 'I promise I'll protect you. We'll be together forever and no one else could stop us . . .' such promise I think I've never fulfilled.
~~I'm dreaming again . . . but if this isn't real why does this emotions pour into me like this was all happening? Like I'm being pulled into somewhere I once knew?
I remember carrying her, running through a field of flowers, the wind blowing into my face. We arrived at a riverside in a flash, like we were trying to escape from something. And that was when my heartbeat stopped . . . Like I wasn't in my own body . . . It all happens so fast. I could feel her head falls down as well as her arms that I believed was placed around me.
It was dark but I know what I just felt. She was just so . . . lifeless. I looked down at her pale face her emerald eyes were closed so tightly, and I felt more scared. Her eyes were closed tightly like it would never open again, like I would never see her brilliant eyes once again. I shook my head dramatically as realization took me. A single tear rolled down to my cheeks but I paid no heed to it. There's nothing more to care about. I closed my eyes trying to tell myself it was just a painful illusion but it wasn't. He knew well it wasn't.
I leaned down to her and kissed her one last time. I stood straight facing the bottom of the river. And slowly I let her drift down . . . and down . . . I watched as she disappeared into the cold water. 'I should let her go . . . but I'll never let go of her heart. .'
Pride can stand, a thousand trials,
the strong will never fall
~*~
Syaoran's shuteyes open vastly returning back to reality. He was sweating immensely and his breathing was hastily too. He puts his right hand on his forehead for support. His head was spinning wildly and he felt strong familiar emotions crawling over him.
But watching stars without you
He peered into the night sky, he watched the stars that seem to be looking down at him too but wind blew dark cloud covering the other light. He felt another bolt into his body as unknown memories came up to him, though his eyes were still fixed at one single pink star that shone brightly, smaller compared to others but gives a significant glow to him.
My soul cried . . .
He gently touched his lips with his fingers. 'I could still feel the warmth of her lips touching mine. It becomes more painful now, remembering how I kissed on my dreams.
Heaving heart is full of pain,
Syaoran looked down to his right palm, his left fingers tracing the lines that were marked to it. He narrowed his eyes then clenched his right fist tightly. "Take me away, please I don't want to be locked in here forever. Please take me. ." The voice whispers to his ears, like she was right there beside him. Those enchanting voice he hears from his dreams.
Oh, oh, the aching.
'Cause I'm kissing you, oh.
I'm kissing you.
He stood up; his feet began to move without his permission. Step by step his heart aches more. He looked at the sight of the place his feet took him. He was in front of a still river. His eyes were wavering as he glaze over the place.
Just like that dream that comes to him in his every sleep. The immaculate lady was in there, sitting in a transparent crescent moon. Her right foot was playing with the crystalline water. Her long auburn hair was tied in a low pink lace but some strands of her hair still escape and resides at both sides before her ears, there was also a flower tiara on her silky hair. And was wearing a simple decorated loose white gown.
Touch me deep, pure, and true,
Gift to me forever
'Cause I'm kissing you, oh.
I'm kissing you.
Unknown to Syaoran's will he was now nearing the lady and abruptly lifted her chin with his hand. She looked up revealing those green eyes he was somehow longing for. Different sort of sensation flooded both of them confusion, sorry, longing, so many they couldn't point exactly. But putting aside all of those they both shared a single sweet kiss full of those strange feelings.
Where are you now?
Where are you now?
'Cause I'm kissing you.
I'm kissing you, oh.
However she suddenly backed away and swayed her star wand to put him in distance. The bells on it rang sounding mysteriously. "I'm Sakura, goddess of death! How dare you act so boldly against me?!" she finally spoke.
""You look much look like a goddess of Beauty rather than the goddess of death . . ." Syaoran said playfully, now awake from his trance awhile ago. She narrowed her eyes to him and scowled at him. She inhaled deeply to release the anger but he just had to open his mouth . . .
"Would you want to be a mother now and give me children?"
**BONK**
