Not 'Till The Sun Sets
By: Miyoko
Chapter 7: Losing time.
Author's Notez: I know. it has been months, maybe you don't even want to read this story anymore. *sniff*
*grins* but it's okay. or is it, really?
Gomen ne for updating for so long and writing really short chapters, I just finished reading 4 paperback novels (2 Dragonlace [2&3 of the Legends] and Anne Rice Vampire Chronicles) while you're there waiting *impatiently for the next chapter. *sigh*, actually, I was starting on another story, but I won't post it until EVERYTHING is done with THIS story.
So anyway, here's the story, I hope you all like it; don't forget to review after, okay? If you review more, I write faster!
Chapter 7: Losing time.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------
Tomoeda Park.
The sky was bright red; the sun was preparing to set for the day.
"Syaoran!" Sakura gasped, he was there, in front of him, bloody and weak, but she couldn't run to him, her feet were glued to the floor.
His eyes were blank, but it was staring straight at her, a bloody hand reached out but fell limply to his side.
"Help. me." was his only cry.
Suddenly, there was a bright light that shone on top of the penguin. It was a bright white light that could have blinded Sakura's eyes if she hadn't looked away.
"Time.."
There was a ghostly whisper.
"Slowly passing away. losing. death. shall come."
She didn't understand anything that was being said, the words didn't connect to each other. They seemed meaningless.
Then there was a girl, her eyes were of silver, and her hair was just as bright. She looked like an angel, but her eyes were cold, and they were piercing through her.
"You have failed the test."
The ghastly voice came from her! Demo, what test did she mean?
She floated down and nested beside Syaoran, who was fighting to get up.
"Rest now. you have done what you must."
She placed a hand on Syaoran's face and suddenly, all his wounds vanished. It was as if he was perfectly fine, but his eyes.
His eyes were hollow.
She let go of him, and he fell down to the floor, his eyes were now closed. There was no movement from him.
"Syaoran!"
She ran down to him, she realized she could move her feet now. he was cold when she touched him. There was no sign of life at all.
"No. this couldn't happen. Syaoran. onegai." Sakura was now sobbing, her head down on Syaoran's chest. But there wasn't even a quiver.
Anger replaced the anguish in Sakura's eyes and looked at the girl. She was still there, eyes on the grieving Sakura.
"Death. to those. who.fail." she whispered, it was so soft Sakura barely could hear. Sakura placed Syaoran down and stood up, facing the girl.
She began chanting, calling the forces of fiery, the card rose up and danced gracefully in the air. At Sakura's order, it attacked the girl but she had only deflected it. She called on to another card. She wasn't even sure what it was. All she had in mind was to destroy the girl, to take vengeance for Syaoran. But nothing seemed to affect her.
Sakura was getting weak; she had used her energy too much. But her enemy was still standing strong.
Everything was now a blur to her, mostly because of the tears in her eyes.
"I mustn't fail, I must fight. for Syaoran." she muttered under her breathe, trying to stand up.
"There is nothing to fight. You have. failed."
The girl made a swirling motion of her hand. Sakura looked at her, guessing what she would do.
The swirling action continued and everything was becoming brighter, too bright even. Sakura felt herself weakening even more, stumbling down once again. She was starting to lose consciousness.
"Death. to those.who fail." ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------
"SAKURA!!!"
Sakura opened her eyes, and looked around her. She was in her bedroom again, and Kero was floating in front of her. It was just a dream. No, not just a dream, it was a premonition. It might happen, if she failed. And Syaoran wouldn't be the only person who would die, she would too.
The dream, it was like Clow Reed's vision.
A dream. that was what he said.
"Sakura, it's 7:30, you're late." Kero stated bluntly and floated back to his drawer.
Sakura *really* woke up and jolted out from bed.
"I'M LAAATTEEEE!!!"
She quickly changed into her uniform and rashly tied her hair, she was about to make a run to the door when she noticed something on her table.
She took the pink box, and admired the thing inside it for a moment. She then gently placed it out and placed it on the sailor collar of her uniform.
"This will bring me luck today." she thought.
She looked at herself in the mirror for one last time, noting herself with the brooch that Yukito and Touya gave her.
"Sakura." Kero softly called, just trying to get her from her reverie.
"Oh no." Sakura wailed and dashed towards the door. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------
The school halls were already silent when she arrived; everyone had already gone into their rooms.
"Late again, Ms. Kinomoto?" a voice boomed behind her, she started and turned a little.
"Ahh..eh.. Good morning, Mr. Yaruko."
"As expected, Miss Kinomoto. don't you want to try to change? Now hurry up to your room, I let you go this time."
Sakura smiled sheepishly to the man, and scurried away immediately. She silently opened the door to her classroom and slid inside. The teacher noticed her arrival, but only rested his eyes on her for a couple of seconds then resumed on discussing, everyone was used to Sakura being late.
She took out her notebook and started scribbling down notes on it. Today was the last day. Today was the last chance to save Syaoran from the harnesses of the spell, but she still hasn't had a clue. The day went on swiftly and she wasn't able to see Syaoran today, a fact that didn't make her less relieved. What if he was already dying this instant?
Tomoyo was silently listening to the teacher, writing down every word she said. Eriol was in his seat too, who seemed to be meditating (I do this lots of times, which my classmates find really weird.) and Marian, the new girl that Syaoran was only in good terms with. Maybe she could know something from Syaoran from her, surely she knows something! Why hadn't she thought of that!
She took out a small piece of paper from her bag and scribbled something o it. She passed it to Marian.
Marian,
Can I talk with you this dismissal time? It's very important, it's about Syaoran. I'll be waiting in the park.
--Sakura
Marian read the note that was passed to her; she turned to Sakura and nodded. Then she folded the paper and placed it in her bag.
"I'll be waiting."
To be continued.
Author's notes: *sigh* I really don't like this chapter, seems just like a space filler, but the next chapter will be the last one, and it will be a long one. I'll try to get it finished by next week. I'm eager to start my other story, which will be a whole lot different from this one; it would be a whole lot better. I assure you. this story is short since the span time is only 3 days, so I'm sorry. But I tell you I'm going to do my all in the next story okay?
But before that, you could always review! You could tell me what you think by e-mailing me, reviewing this story or to chat with me using AOL and msn.
