My One and Only

by Lady Yunaleska

Chapter 5: Troubles Start Again

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sakura was sitting in a large, open field watching the clouds slowly roll by when Syaoran came from behind and placed a bouquet of wildflowers in front of her face.

"Flowers for the most beautiful one I know."

"Oh, Syaoran, they're wonderful!" Sakura closed her eyes and took in the sweet scent, but when she opened then again she held a microphone.

The sky had turned gray, and she was no longer in the field. Bright lights shone on Sakura's petite figure, temporarily blinding her. When her eyes adjusted, she looked around and saw a shadowed crowd. Amongst them, one particular man caught her attention.

~I sense... and emptiness in his heart.~

The lights flashed, and Sakura found herself standing directly in front of the mystery man, who's features were now hidden by a black cloak.

"Come with me," he placed his right hand over her heart and whispered some words that Sakura didn't understand.

Before he could finish, Sakura fell and hit something hard.

"Sakura? Are you alright?" She opened her eyes to meet worried amber ones, and when she looked around she realized she was on the floor of her hotel room.

"Just... a dream?" she mumbled.

"Hey, are you alright?" Syaoran repeated.

Sakura nodded, "Yeah, but I had a weird dream."

"Oh. I came in to wake you up, and you fell off the bed. Are you sure you're fine? Maybe I should take you to the doctor just in case you hit your head too hard."

Sakura took his head into her hands and looked straight into his eyes, "Syaoran, I'm perfectly fine. You're over reacting! I only fell off the bed; it happens all the time."

"Okay, if you're sure. Go get dressed. We have a concert to perform!" Syaoran walked to the door, but Sakura stopped him halfway.

"Mou... I don't even get a kiss 'good morning'?" she pouted playfully.

Syaoran responded by swiftly lifting her into his arms and kissed her passionately.

"Better?" he asked when they parted.

"Much." Sakura rested her head on his chest. "I love you, Syaoran."

"I love you, too, now go get dressed. You don't want to be late for your first concert!"

"Okay. Later I have to tell you about my dream."

"Sure. See you later, " Syaoran gave her one last kiss before leaving. Sakura leaned on the door and sighed.

~I hope nothing bad is coming...~

~*~*~*~*~

Throughout the day, crews were busy putting the final touches on the stage, while Sakura walked through the concert with Tomoyo and Syaoran.

"So, remember, when the pink lights come on, that's your cue to-"

"- go to the swing. I know, Tomoyo, we've gone through this eight times already! I could do it in my sleep!" Sakura closed her eyes and did a few dance steps, then sat on the swing. "See?"

Tomoyo clasped her hands beside her head and went into daydream mode, "I know.. Oh, this is going to be perfect!"

"That's what I like to hear!" Allen hopped onto the stage and walked over to the three. "Ok, guys, the doors open in half an hour, which means you have two and a half hours left to prepare; Sakura, you and Tomoyo need to go to make-up in ten, and Syaoran, the dance choreographer wants to see you about something. It's almost time! Don't be slacking off already!"

On that note, Allen left them and proceeded to the crew to give more orders.

"Well, shall we?" Tomoyo led Sakura out of the auditorium, while Syaoran went to find his dance teacher.

He entered a dressing room and met with the instructor. "You wanted to see me?"

"Ah, good, you're here. There were a couple changes made to the routine in the last song.. I just needed to make you aware of them." She handed him some papers with the new routine outlined on them.

"Okay, thanks."

"Come, let's go rehearse this one last time, just to make sure you're ready"

Syaoran didn't like when people underestimated his abilities, but kept his mouth shut. After all, she was the one who made it possible for Syaoran to dance and be only with Sakura. "Sure..."

Half an hour passed, and while people were flooding in, Syaoran was still practicing in the smaller auditorium.

"That's perfect, Syaoran! Keep going!"

In the middle of a back flip, something caught Syaoran's attention and he fell on his face. The dancers around him all whispered their shock to one another.

"He never falls!" "He's the best of us all... how could that happen?" "Is he okay?"

"Syaoran! Are you o-" Before the teacher could finish, Syaoran was up and out the door, running toward the people rushing to their seats for the concert.

~What was that feeling?~

He ran past the crowd and through the back door, looking for Sakura.

"Sakura? Where are you?" he could feel her aura but not see her.

"Back here, Syaoran!" she waved her hand out from behind a curtain.

Syaoran took her hand and pulled her away from the non-magic users.

"Didn't you sense that?"

"Well, I don't think so, but all I can really feel is about ten hands putting all sorts of things on me. What was it?"

"Something... evil.. It was faint, but I know it's here...." Syaoran looked meticulously toward the stage, "Out there."

Sakura was beginning to worry. "D-do yo think... she's back?"

"No, it felt different from Kaori... something I've never felt before. Be on your guard. You have the cards, right?"

"Um..." Sakura looked down.

"Right?!" Syaoran took hold of her shoulders and forced her to look him in the eye. "Sakura, please tell me you have them."

She shyly pulled out her necklace, "Only the staff... I really didn't think I would need them here."

"Oh, Sakura..." Syaoran shook his head.

"Please...don't..be..mad." She sniffled between words. She was on the verge of crying, but Syaoran stopped her.

"No, I'm not mad. Don't cry.. it just means that I'm going to have to be around you all the time. Can you live with that?"

Sakura laughed, "I think so," she hugged him tight.

"Now get going. I'm going to check this out some more."

"Be careful!" Syaoran gave her a short kiss, then left to investigate the weird presence.

~~~~~~~~~~

LY: Kinda short, but longer than last time.

Kero: Bleh, too much mushy stuff.

LY: *rolls eyes* If you say so, Kero. I wanted to put the concert in this chapter, but it would've taken me another week or so to get it up, so I thought I'd just give you what I have.

Kero: *reads future plans* Mwhahaha! It's fun to know more than everyone else!

LY: Well, I could always cut you off from the cake, so don't be giving any clues!

Kero: *gasp* You wouldn't!

LY: :) I would! Anyway, I hope you all enjoyed this chapter, and I'll put the next one up ASAP.

Kero: Please review please!

LY: Ja mata minna-san!
