Chapter Three : Pure Insanity!
The snow was thick on the ground in Tomoeda. It was about 6:00 PM on a Saturday night. Tomorrow was Valentine's Day, and people were hustling around everywhere, getting the last of their shopping done. One of those people was Syaoran Li. ((Wearing the scarf that Sakura gave him long ago. *^-^*))
This is harder than I thought it would be, Syaoran thought with a sigh. He was still looking for a gift to get for his precious Sakura. He needed to get something perfect. This perfect thing he had not found just yet, but he wasn't nervous. Yes. He just knew he'd find it tonight, even if it meant wondering throughout the town till morning, he would find it.
"Yay! I just can't wait!" Sakura exclaimed as she grabbed poor Kero by the paws and spun him around in the air. He landed on her bed, dizzy and swirly-eyed.
"Oww..." He said rubbing his left paw with his right one, "I know you're excited Kiddo, but jeez..."
"I'm sorry, Kero-chan," Sakura giggled, "But tomorrow is Valentine's Day and Tomoyo-chan is holding a special party!"
"I know, I know." Kero said unenthusiastically, "You've told be a million times already." Even as Kero said this, he couldn't help but smile at Sakura joyfulness.
"And, and, and," She continued with a bit of a blush on her face, "And..."
"The brat will be there. I know, I know."
At Kero's 'brat' comment, Sakura suddenly looked angry. "Alright, then," she said, "I was going to bring home lots of treats and stuff, but..."
"Wait!" Kero pleaded, "I take it all back! He's not a brat! He's a kind, sensitive person and is perfect in every way." He went on with passion, though his face clearly showed disgust. Sakura chose to ignore this and smiled at Kero.
"Ok, I forgive you."
A few weeks had passed since Syaoran returned to Tomoeda. Sakura, Tomoyo, and Misaki had become very good friends. Misaki was also getting along very well with Syaoran. Sakura enjoyed seeing the two together, but Tomoyo seemed to think differently.
A party. Perhaps we should make a move then, master?
No. We will wait.
Still?
Yes. Do not fret, Celestenes.
Finally, Syaoran thought to himself as he looked as a certain object in a glass case, I've found it! It was a ring. A beautiful silver ring with a diamond of light pink, shaped like a star. Inside the diamond was a real cherry blossom petal. It looked as if the ring was actually made for Sakura herself.
"How much is this one?" he asked the merchant, a young lady with long lavender hair and purplish eyes. Syaoran noticed that she strongly resembled someone... but whom?
"It's 50,000 yen."
"I'll buy it." Syaoran said, counting 50,000 yen out of the money in his pocket. ((He is rich, you know. ^_~))
As she took Syaoran's money and put the ring in a little box, she smiled sweetly at him.
"This ring is for someone very special, isn't it?" She asked.
Slightly taken by surprise, Syaoran nodded. She handed him the bag that contained the boxed ring.
"What's your name?"
"Li Syaoran." He answered, a bit puzzled as to why a complete stranger was speaking to him as if they had just been introduced by friends.
"That's Chinese for 'Little Wolf', right?"
"Uh, yeah."
"What a cute name," She said with a smile, "Oh! Sorry. My name is Kurohana Miame. I believe you know my little sister Misaki?"
The mystery was finally solved.
"Yeah, I am." He said, relieved of his confusion.
"She talks about you and your friends often. She likes you all a lot, you know."
Syaoran found himself blushing. He had no idea why, though. Somehow, the thought of Misaki speaking of him a lot made his heart beat fast. Filled with confusion, he said "I'm sorry. I have to go. It's getting late." Not waiting for an answer from Miame, he ran out of the store.
Miame did not seem surprised, but had a sad and worried look on her face.
"Li-kun," She said quietly to herself, "Don't let her take you away from the one you truly love. Don't let her hurt Kinomoto-chan...
After leaving the store, Syaoran ran strait home and went into his room and turned on the light. He sat down on his bed and stared at the ring. ((Just so you know, there is no Wei in this story. Sorry to interrupt. ^-^;;))
This ring is for Sakura, not anyone else. She's the only one I love... But why do I keep thinking of Kurohana-san? I know I don't have feelings for her, but... I cant stop thinking about her...
Unable to ponder the meaning of this insane thought he was having, he quickly went to bed.
"This ring... for me?"
"Yes. Do you like it?"
"I love it! Than you so much!"
Syaoran gathered Sakura in a tight embrace. But wait. This was not Sakura, but...
"Kurohana-san!?" Syaoran quickly let go of her. Kurohana looked hurt. Tears welled up in her eyes as she fingered the ring Syaoran had just given her.
"But, Li-kun... I thought I was the one you loved the most! You promised me we'd be together forever! Don't you even remember?"
This was insane. He never made that promise. Yet, she looked so sad. So utterly helpless.
"I'm sorry, Kurohana-san." Syaoran said as he put his hand on her shoulder. She looked at him with her pale, tear-stained eyes. Suddenly smiling, she wrapped her arms around him. He couldn't let her go, no matter how hard he tried. It was as if she were a million times stronger than him. They were falling, together, into eternal darkness. Everything around them was black.
"I am the one you love the most..." She whispered into his ear as they tumbled into abyss...
Syaoran almost fell out of bed as he woke up, breathing hard and sweating. He had just had a horrible dream, but he could not remember any of it. He looked at his clock, and this time he did fall out of bed. School started in ten minutes!
End of Chapter Three
o_o Oooohhh! Scary, huh? I know some of you are going 'What the HELL are you thinking?! Syaoran cant fall in love with that lame character you made up!!'. Do not fret! Happy endings will appear later. And I can assure you, there will be lots of S+S, and no S+M! Amelia: I should hope NOT! Chibi: Eh? o_o Amelia: -_-;; Never mind... Chibi: Uhm... Ok then. ^-^;;;
Hmm... It seems chapters are starting to get longer. That's good. I'm finally overcoming my... *yawn* L-l-laziness... *falls asleep*
