By Mad Meg Askevron Chapter Four: A song in the Rain

Sakura pulled her car over and ran out into the rain. It was her favorite park, it was full of roses, but they were all closed up and she huddled up in the rain it was late fall and almost winter, the rain was freezing, not long till it became snow. Her hair had come loose from its bun and the illusion spell forgotten and goner, her curl, auburn hair was soon soaking wet, hanging in wet, silky ringlets around her. She shivered in the rain. She looked up into the stormy clouds and could see a twinkle of a star as the clouds opened for a moment. Syaoran stood behind a tree unnoticed. He was about to come out when her heard her song soft and melodious, and melancholy. " I just want to sleep forever, You broke my heart, Into a thousand pieces, I thought you were my one true love, I thought you would be there till the end, I just want to sleep forever, With the tears on my cheeks, I want to forget the pain, The pain of loss, The pain without my love, I just want to sleep forever, Never to wake, For my breath to still, And my eyes to glaze, The spark of life gone forever, And only your touch can bring me to life, I just want to sleep forever, Knowing you never wish to see me again, Knowing that the pain I feel, Is almost physical, My soul bleeds, I just want to sleep forever, Never to see the hate in your eyes, Never to see you shun me, And most of all, I want to sleep forever, Dreaming of your smile, I'll never have it again, And even now as I look to the sky, Your star burns out form the sky, That star that guided me, The star I named hope, Is gone, I just want to sleep forever, Creating my own field of stars, Only my one and only, Can wake my from this sleep of death, My star, My hope, My love, You have left me, I just want to sleep forever, I don't know that I can ever heal, This broken heart of mine, That seems to break all the time, So now I give this last kiss, This kiss of death, The death of my soul, My heart, My love, So now, I sleep forever, Good bye, To those who thought they loved me, Good bye, I sleep forever, This sleep of Death."
Sakura laid down on the bench, in this rain if she fell asleep and stayed for long she'd get hypothermia and die, frozen to death. She whispered to nobody Syaoran could see.
"I you my heart, wasn't that enough for you..." The last word Syaoran never head, she was speaking too quietly, but we know. She had said a name, a name that meant Wolf, a little wolf. Syaoran ran over to her, scooping her up into his arms, not caring how wet he got. He ran for his car, he put her in the back seat, wrapped up in several blankets, she was unconscious. He got her to her door; people had stared at him but kept their peace. He didn't have time to get her to a hospital, it was a two-hour drive and by then she might die, the complex was only five minutes. He unlocked her the door to the three girls' home. Tomoyo and Meiling had left, probably looking for her. He rushed into Sakura's room and into her bathroom. He stripped her down; not even bothering with modesty, at a time like this it wasn't important. He filled the bath half way with cool water, he took off his tuxedo jacked and threw it off to the side, and rolled up his sleeves. He put her in the bathtub and slowly turned of the hot water, water slowly warmed, but not to fast. Her wrapped her hair up in a towel and held her up so she wouldn't drown.
After a while, he saw her eyelids twitch when she finally stopped shivering and the water was pretty warm. She opened her eyes and looked into his, she smiled slightly and closed her eyes for a second and sat up. He fetched her robe and helped her stand up. He unplugged the tub and when she tried to walk, she nearly fell. He scooped her up again, her weak protests falling on his deaf ears. He set her down on the couch and got a warm blanket, and got fire going, he set her on his lap and wrapped them both up with the blanket. She fought sleep until her eyes couldn't stay open any longer. She snuggled up close; her head resting over his heart, lulled by the soft yet strong beat. His chest was warm but not overly so, and she felt warm and safe in his strong arms. Her still slightly damp hair was like a silk blanket over Syaoran's left arm, and he too fell asleep on the large comfortable couch, with the sleeping woman sleep close and warm. While he slept the two girls returned depressed for not finding her. They stopped not making a sound, they could see the two curled up in front of the fire, Sakura was in a robe and Syaoran's expensive, silk shirt showed water stain on the front. He was jacketless and his sleeve still rolled up.
"It's okay, I'm awake." Sakura said softly, barely audible. "Meiling please don't worry, I'm not going to blame you for, R-Him being an ass hole." Sakura had a tiny smiled on her lips, and then she rested her head back on Syaoran's chest. Tomoyo and Meiling went into Tomoyo's Room. They went into the bathroom, Meiling took the walk-in shower and Tomoyo took the bathtub. They warmed quickly and got out. Tomoyo told Meiling to wait there, she got a to sets of nightgowns out of the giant closet. Tomoyo wore her 17th century styled nightgown and gave Meiling a red outfit. Tomoyo had just finished it earlier, in the after noon. It was soft and comfortable. It was tight around the bodice, but not uncomfortably so, it flared below the hips into a full skirt. I had splits from three inches from the top of the skirt all the way to the bottom. When she walked in it you could see her shapely legs. Tomoyo braided her hair, and they settled down in her bed. They had decided that Meiling would sleep in Tomoyo's room so as not to disturb the two next door, and Meiling didn't want to be alone after what happened only two hours ago.

Syaoran had moved Sakura and himself to Sakura's Bedroom. He had to sleep here. He had left his house key in his living room and Eriol had gone on a trip the day before. He couldn't get into his house. He took off his shoes and after much mental debate, his shirt. He was glad he had on an undershirt. He settled down in her bed, he lay down, facing her. She wrapped her arms around him in her sleep, and wound her legs around his, her head once again against his chest.

Dawn. Syaoran had woken up as the light of the false day tinted the sky gray. The window curtains were slightly open, and he could see the sky, he watched the sky slowly turn from a dark purple to gray, to a light, light blue. He looked down at the figure pressed close to him. Her hair fell around them in fiery cascades as the sunrise hit the waves. Her skin was soft as a rose petal, her cheeks held a soft blush, and her lips were small, delicate and tinted pink by the balm of natural beauty. Her lashes almost brushed her cheeks, thick and black. Her face was soft and serene, but he knew he had to leave. He got up and went into the bathroom. He took a shower, and noticed that his shirt and jacked were folded, and a stack of clean clothes were neck to him. There was a note on top covered in Tomoyo and Meiling's handwriting.

Tomoyo: Morning Syaoran, I made these for you, you can take them home and please ware them. Meiling: You two were adorable last night, you should have seen yourselves! There is breakfast waiting the kitchen, and on the key peg there is a spare key to our apartment and yours You can come in anytime you want to, use the kitchen, the bathroom, Sakura's bedroom... Meiling stop! Don't worry about it, we left to go run some errands. See ya later if you're not up by noon.

Meiling and Tomoyo

Syaoran pulled on a pair of comfortable black jeans and a green T- shirt with bold lettering across the front.
" Are you sure you wanna do that?" Syaoran chuckled; a note fell out of the shirt.

Sakura made that shirt. -Tomoyo

Syaoran pulled it over his head and left the bathroom. Sakura was still sleeping; he bent over and kissed her forehead. He put on his shoes, and entered the kitchen. Where yet another note was waiting this time it was from Meiling.

I ate your eggs, I hope you didn't want them... -Meiling

Syaoran glared at the note, he ate the bacon and pancakes and drank the Orange juice. He picked up his keys and adds them to his car keys, and softly closed the door. Not seeing Sakura standing, yawning, in the doorway of her bedroom. He locked the door behind him and took the elevator to his car.
Sakura went back to her bedroom and into the untouched part. She decided it was time to get over the past. She pulled on a pair of light blue jeans with cherry blossoms on the hem, and a light pink shirt that said. "Cherry Blossom Festival of 2003" She combed out her tangled auburn locks and magically shortened it to just past her shoulders. The earrings were all taken out except for a pair of small emeralds in each ear and nothing in her nose. She looked into her mirror and Emerald eyes twinkled happily.
