Blind Dates

By Jesus Freak





Disclaimer: I'm pissed(I usually never use that word.) to say the least. One of my stories got removed. It was 'Which Cardcaptors Character Are You Most Like?' and I had 188 reviews for it! I don't know what the heck I did wrong! IF YOU WANT ME TO PUT IT BACK UP, VOTE WHEN YOU REVIEW! The songs in this chapter belong to Jaci Velasquez. On with the story…





"Um…Hello Sakura," The person said. It was Syaoran.

"Sy-Syaoran? What are you doing here?" Sakura asked dumbly.

"Obviously, I'm you're blind date! Duh, did you have a brain fart or something?" He replied.

Sakura blushed. "I guess so. I mean, if you're at this table, then you're my date. Duh!" She smacked herself on the head.

"So, why don't you sit down and then the waiter that has been waiting for you to sit can take our orders," Syaoran suggested. Sakura blushed even more and quickly sat down. "I'll take the boiled shrimp."

"That sounds good, I'll have the same." Sakura said.

"Very well. Also, there is a singing contest tonight. All contestants will be given a sheet of music to sing to. A woman and man will be picked to sing a duet. Should I put you down?" The waiter asked.

"Of course. My name is Sakura Kinomoto, that's Syaoran Li," Sakura replied enthusiastically.

"Good. Here is you're music. Miss Kinomoto, you will be going 5th in the woman's division. Mr. Li, you will be going 7th in the men's division. The contest starts at 7:00 but you will need to report to the front desk by 6:45. Any questions?" They shook their heads no. The waiter left and Syaoran protested.

"Why did you pull me into this?"

"You have a wonderful voice and don't be telling me that you don't because you do. And this will be good practice for the Variety Show," Sakura explained patiently. Syaoran sighed in defeat.

The waiter brought their food and they ate quickly, making small talk while jitters grew in their stomachs. Finally, 6:45 rolled around. They got up and went to the front desk. About 20 other people were grouped around there, all reading the lyric's for the song they were to perform.

"Is that Kazul?" Syaoran asked uncertainly. Sakura nodded her head.

"I didn't know that he was going to sing," She stated.

"Okay, here's the line up for the woman's division. Sheryl Walker, Amanda Becker, Varice Lindage, Telila Flinn, Sakura Kinomoto…" The list went on. "For the men's division we have Kazul Fleenope, Zach Vanhouteen, Timo Neef, Jorden Strill, Ryain Katt, Selin Lin, Syaoran Li…" The list went on. "You are going to sing the assigned songs. There's a recording company representative here and the winners will get a chance to become famous duet singers. That means a team of two. Good luck," One of the people droned.

The woman's division started and all of the singers were very good. There was a lot of competition. Finally, it was Sakura's turn. She walked out onto the stage and took a deep breath. The music started and she poured her heart into it.

Crystal Clear

When I'm a sparrow in winter, you are a seed I find

When I'm a heart with a splinter, your blood keeps me alive

If I could call you a color, you'd be the deepest of blues

If I had my pleasure of anything, you'd be the one I chose

Now it's crystal clear I'm falling for you

Now that I can see the mystery's revealed

Now I'm coming clean

I can feel my fears released

Now it's crystal clear I'm falling for you

I'm soft like clay

Your hands, they mold me

For you, I would run away

Just to hear you calling out my name

Now it's crystal clear I'm falling for you

Now that I can see the mystery's revealed

Now I'm coming clean

I can feel my fears released

Now it's crystal clear I'm falling for you

I'm broken and empty

Without you, I'm blinded

I need you

I need you near me; I need you near me

Now it's crystal clear I'm falling for you

Now that I can see the mystery's revealed

Now I'm coming clean

I can feel my fears released

Now it's crystal clear I'm falling for you

Please catch me. I'm falling for you…

There was a thunderous roar from the crowd and Sakura walked off the stage. The woman's division ended soon and the men's began. Kazul was the first. The music started and he sang in a deep low voice. It was very good.

You're not there

Why do I think of you

Far beyond my reach

Why can't I comprehend

The love you have for me

God of all the universe

Of earth and sky and sea

Your desire to own my heart

Is such a mystery

You're not there

Way out there

Wondering in your great unknown

You are here ever near

In my heart you've found a home

You are living

You are breathing

I can feel your presence within me

All the prayers

To the saints

Every votive burned

But now I know

From within

Your loving voice is heard

You've sent you're spirit

The promised one

To be with me forever

You're not there

Way out there

Wondering in your great unknown

You are here ever near

In my heart you've found a home

You are living

You are breathing

I can feel your presence within me

You're not there

Way out there

Wondering in your great unknown

You are here ever near

In my heart you've found a home

You are living

You are breathing

I can feel your presence within me

You are living

You are breathing

You are living

I am needing

There was another thunderous applause and Kazul smiled and walked off the stage. Other people went and it was obvious Kazul was the best out of all of them. Then it was Syaoran's turn. He strode confidently out on to the stage. The music started and he sang in his beautiful voice.

Just a Prayer Away

Tears that fell like rain

Streamed down from my heart

Colors turned gray

Emptiness led the way

Until I fell apart

You came to save

To show me that

You're just a prayer away

No matter where I am

I know in my heart

You're never too far

When I'm losing my way

You're just a prayer away

My strength is in my faith

I'm never alone

I'm never afraid

Cause you're just a prayer away

When I close my eyes

I call your name

And the dark subsides

Nothing can take the place

Of the peace I find

You came to save me

To show me that

You're just a prayer away

No matter where I am

I know in my heart

You're never too far

When I'm losing my way

You're just a prayer away

My strength is in my faith

I'm never alone

I'm never afraid

Cause you're just a prayer away

Whenever I need to find you

I just fall on my knees

In you I find the strength that I need

To live, to believe

You're just a prayer away

No matter where I am

I know in my heart

You're never too far

When I'm losing my way

You're just a prayer away

My strength is in my faith

I'm never alone

I'm never afraid

Cause you're just a prayer away

There was a stunned silence, then everyone stood up and started clapping as hard as they could.

"It seems we have our two winners. Sakura Kinomoto and Kazul Fleenope!" The man shouted above the roar. There was a silence, then angry mutters. "Sorry, I mean Sakura Kinomoto and Syaoran Li!" There were re- approving claps.(This restaurant makes a lot of mistakes, doesn't it?) Sakura and Syaoran were pushed on the stage.(Sakura singing will be in ~This~, Syaoran's in {This} and both in –This- Okay!)



Imagine me without you

~As long as the stars shine down from heaven

And the rivers run into the sea

Till the end of time forever

You're the only love I'll need~

{In my life you're all that matters

In my eyes the only truth I see

When my hopes and dreams have shattered

You're the one that's there for me}

-When I found you I was blessed

And I will never leave you, I need you

Imagine me without you

I'd be lost and so confused

I wouldn't last a day, I'd be afraid

Without you there to see me through-

~Imagine me without you

You know it's impossible

Because of you, it's all brand new

My life is now worth while

I can't imagine me without you~

{When you caught me I was falling

You're love lifted me back on my feet

It was like you heard me calling

And you rush to set me free}

-When I found you I was blessed

And I will never leave you, I need you

Imagine me without you

I'd be lost and so confused

I wouldn't last a day, I'd be afraid

Without you there to see me through

Imagine me without you

You know it's impossible

Because of you, it's all brand new

My life is now worth while

I can't imagine me without you-

"Thanks for walking me home, being in the contest, and going out with me, even if it was set up," Sakura said shyly.

"No problem. I think it's too bad that that representative left before they could hear us sing," He replied.

'Gosh, I want to kiss him soooooo bad!'

'I want to kiss her like nothing else!'

They moved closer and Syaoran wrapped his arms around her waist. Sakura quickly closed the distance between their lips.
