Chapter 15
Syaoran ran, and he ran fast. Having been training since he was very young, the weather wasn't a major problem to him. "Sakura where on earth are you?!" Syaoran wondered.
With Sakura
Sakura had retreated into a near by cave. She was seated on the cold rock floor, hugging her knees. On one hand, she felt happy that she left her Reo and Syaoran so then she wouldn't bother them anymore. But on the other hand, she was bitter and hungry and lost which wasn't a very pleasant feeling.
Sakura remembered back to her card capturing days, when Kero and everyone always needed her to capture another card. Today though Sakura thought she just seemed to get in the way. Sakura was in fact very lonely. Even if she had Tomoyo and her new friends, it still wasn't the same old feeling she had.
In this point in Sakura's life, she felt like a small child wanting attention. But Sakura didn't want attention. She wanted to have a meaning to live. Every single of her days seemed to have no point. She always thought that her life was heading towards something, but this time, nothing had happened. She always thought this setting in her life was only temporary, but she was very wrong about that too.
Sakura heaved a large sigh. 'What am I doing here anyways?' Sakura thought. Then popping out of her deep thought she began to think of what she was really doing in a cave. 'Syaoran, was really mean. That's all. But Touya's called me a monster and I didn't care. Why do I care what Syaoran says then?' she thought angrily gripping the end of her shirt. But thinking of that just made her want to cry even more.
Sakura didn't understand why and where she was in her life, but all she wanted was for it to stop. She suddenly jumped. She heard someone walking or more like running in the rain. Sakura looked down.
"There you are!" someone said. Sakura did not look up. All she knew was someone was right in front of her and it was probably Reo or Syaoran like always. But then Sakura sniffed. She smelled, perfume? Sakura's eyes widened as she saw it was not Li or Reo but Mai. Sakura backed away about five meters away from her.
"What are you doing here?" Sakura asked. "Oh my school was going on a camping trip too and it suddenly and all. I heard Syaoran calling out your name and I wanted to find him and...." Mai was about to say "I wanted to find him to apologize." but instead said "I just wanted to find him. But I guess you're not him. Bye bye Sakura! I got to run!" and Mai left. Sakura sat still for a moment. 'What just happened?' she thought. It had been a very long time since she had seen Mai and seeing her still made her uncomfortable.
Mai came back to Sakura which startled her again. "Sorry Sakura." she said softly and she left. It was still raining outside and Sakura wondered where Mai had gone. Sakura longed to be in a dry place instead of the cold damp cave. So gathering her courage she stood up and followed Mai. Since Mai wasn't very fast at running she was still in view and Sakura caught up with her. "What?" she asked rudely forgetting to be nice. Sakura sweat dropped.
Were there two Mai's out there? Or did she have split personalities. Shoving this thought over, she asked "Where are you going?" "Back to the camp site. You're lost aren't you? Come with me!" and she began running again. Sakura followed Mai and eventually they were both back at the camp.
With Syaoran
Syaoran was still running blindly through the rain. "Sakura! Sakura!!!! Where are you? Where are you?!?!?!?" he yelled over and over. It had stopped raining and was easier to see now. He had been outside for a long time now, four hours, and that was too long. It was getting dark already so dismayed he went headed back to the camp site. Syaoran looked back. 'What if I am the cause of her death or something?' he shuddered.
As Syaoran was nearing the tents and children the first person he saw to his amazement was Sakura, who was surrounded by teachers and students. Syaoran stopped and stared. Was he dreaming? Surely Sakura couldn't get back to the camp by herself. But then Syaoran went into a sprint. All this shock and worry and thinking pulled into his running. Sakura looked up and saw Syaoran racing towards her. She raised her hands as if to say "STOP" but it didn't help. He was closing in faster and faster and Sakura braced herself for when he would crush her.
But instead, when Syaoran neared her, he hugged her. Sakura looked at Mai confused. After a moment Syaoran let go when realizing what he was doing. Everyone around the two laughed. "I'm glad you're ok." he muttered. "When did you get here?!?" he demanded. His face was burning from embarrassment which made Sakura step behind Mai. Even if Sakura had gained new confidence, she could still be easily intimidated. Mai laughed and pointed at Syaoran. His clothes and hair were still wet from the rain and he looked like a very long haired dog.
"I found Sakura in cave and brought her here and we arrived just now." Mai answered defiantly her hands on her hips. Then Mai squinted. She stared past Syaoran to look at some kids that were waving their hands crazily in the air. "I got to go now. See you later Sakura." Before leaving she quickly whispered in Syaoran's ear so no on could listen, "See? I am being nice to her!" Syaoran stood dumbfounded. The teacher that had been fussing over Sakura just a few minutes ago turned to Syaoran with slit eyes.
"Syaoran, get ready for supper! I am not letting you sit near the other kids when you're sopping wet! GO!" she ordered and Syaoran raced off. As Syaoran was getting ready Sakura and Meiling sat on one of the logs near the camp fire. The adults (teachers, chaperones) were frying some fish and everyone went back to their usual chatter.
Meiling glowered at Sakura. Then she broke in a weak smile. "Sakura you were so lucky today!" She squealed like a fan of someone really famous. Sakura was bewildered. She had got her group upset, starved herself, was lonely in a damp cold cave, and once again had to be rescued or saved by someone but herself. "How am I lucky?" Sakura asked slowly. Meiling shook her head in disappointment.
"You don't get it do you?"
"Get what?"
"You are so clueless. Can't you see Li cares for you?"
"No he doesn't. He called me a monster and that I whine too much and other mean things." Sakura looked down. 'Did he really mean it though?' she questioned herself.
"Maybe Sakura. But who was the one who ran in the rain for you?"
Sakura thought. "Mai?" she asked. Meiling rolled her eyes. With her fist she knocked on Sakura's head.
"Hello? Earth to Saku? Syaoran did!"
"Yeah, I guess he did. But he didn't find me."
"But he tried. He was out there for so long looking for you."
"But Syaoran's always determined though."
"Take it this way. If I were to run into the rain lost, Syaoran would leave me there."
"So?"
"So I have known him all my life and still, he has never done anything that's really nice to me at all."
"So?"
"Don't you see Sakura?"
"See what?" Syaoran asked. Sakura and Meiling jumped startled by the new voice. Syaoran gave Meiling a "look" which made her turn pale. "I'm going to go and find Tomoyo." Sakura said and she bounced off in search of her best friend.
After Supper
"Class, before I dismiss you, I need two students to watch this fire so it doesn't go out. Last night the parents were watching and didn't get much rest, so I need two volunteers." the teacher announced. No one raised their hands. It was really cold outside, and they wanted their sleep. But then Sakura raised her hand. Sakura wouldn't get much sleep after all the stress of today, so she might as well use this to help others.
"Ok Syaoran you're with Sakura. Since you're both in the same tent that's how it works." Syaoran began protesting but stopped as the teacher folded her arms and looked at Li lowly. She did this often when she wanted him to squirm in fear.
As everyone said their good nights Sakura and Syaoran pulled their sleeping bags and blankets out from their tent. "Hey Sakura. I want to tell you something." Syaoran said slowly when they had finished taking out their belongings. Sakura nodded. She looked at Syaoran's firm face. He seemed to be waiting for this moment, as if it was what he had been training for. Sakura continued to think while Syaoran fumbled around with the right words to say.
"Yeah?" Sakura said impatiently. She suddenly sensed something peculiar. Quickly snapping her head to her right, she scanned the trees for any signs of odd movement. Syaoran looked to Sakura's right as well for he had sensed something.
"Do you sense that?" Sakura asked seriously. She then stopped and covered her mouth. Syaoran looked at Sakura with wide eyes.
"You're the……!"
And I am going to leave it at that until the next chapter. Longest chapter yet what do you think of it? Well review! == Sorry for not updating in awhile I had 4 web sites to work on as well as some stupid homework.
