Uhm, guys, I'm really sorry for taking this long, but I REALLY wanted to post the first chap of my new CCS ff before this one was over, so I'll be posting it along with this fic's epilogue, hopefully.
Another CLAMP Campus Detectives fic is out! It was a THREESHOT focusing on Nokoru-sama, but now it's a medium-sized fic; it's still focused on Nokoru-sama though! No pairs, but implied stuff there is! Title: The Way You Are Is Fine EnoughOK, remember: LEMON alert for this chapter, so if you don't like it, skip it! Lemon part is separated by the slash thingies. Also remember Syaoran-sama's currently 19 and Sakura's 18... because I say so! ;p EDIT! no longer accepts explicit content, so I removed it. If you want the lemon scene, e-mail me!
And now, without further delay, the CHAPTER!
ENJOY!
THE LI GUARDIANS
Chapter 11 – THE RITUAL
When Syaoran finally woke up three days later, due to another nightmare, he found Sakura's peaceful sleeping face by his side. She was dressed in a knee-length blue skirt, which was currently not covering much, the boy observed with a small blush as he carefully lowered it a bit, and a small white sleeveless shirt. The amber-eyed Chinese let a small smile adorn his handsome face as his hand unconsciously raised itself to caress her hair lovingly while he took in their surroundings.
They were in his room, he noticed, specifically on his bed, the bedside alarm clock displaying 9:47pm. Through the window, the moon was already very high and the sky was dark with various stars shining.
"Wow! I must have really slept... what happened? When did we get here?" He asked himself mentally.
At that moment, Sakura stirred and eventually opened her beautiful emerald eyes, meeting his amber ones instantly. For a few seconds, they only stared at each other and nothing more, motionless, until tears started falling down her cheeks. Surprised, he was about to hug her comfortingly and ask what was wrong, when she abruptly threw herself in his arms, making Syaoran suddenly become very much aware that he was only wearing his black boxers and a beige sleeveless shirt much like hers.
"Syaoran-kun! Syaoran-kun! I was so worried! I was so desperate when you died! Thank God you're all right! Youkatta!" She cried while hugging the other with all her strength.
His eyes closed and a small happy smile on his face, Syaoran hugged her back for a few moments before gently pushing her away. Placing his right finger under her chin, he raised her head to his eyelevel, the other hand tenderly brushing away the tears freely escaping.
"Sakura, I know this is not the best time, but I can't remember... where's Suuki? How much time has gone by since we freed Kurotsuki?" He asked calmly, a neutral look as his expression.
The girl tried to look away, but found that his hands were both firmly holding her face, although it wasn't harming her in any way. After a while of uncomfortable silence and breathless staring, Sakura finally gave him an answer in a whisper.
"You've slept for three whole days, Syaoran-kun. By now, Kurotsuki-san has returned to Shin'Ya-san's side; they must certainly be very happy... because they're together. Moriko-san, however, to save Syaoran-kun's life she offered her own and became just another lonely soul... I don't know, but perhaps she can find Kage-san to keep her company..."
Syaoran, although already suspecting something like that happened, found it was hard nonetheless to keep his wet pearls from escaping... and eventually gave in. Hugging the girl, he let them drop freely and was barely able to notice when Sakura cradled his head on her chest, causing a small blush to appear on both their faces.
While he was still sobbing, perhaps for the first time in his life, a whispered apology came from Syaoran's lips. "I'm so sorry, Suuki, Yami, it was my fault, because I'm so weak..."
Sakura sighed as she heard this, and without letting go of him, she replied in a calm and soothing voice, "Syaoran-kun... Moriko-san said it, that the biggest dream and the strongest wish they had was to help you find happiness... and that's why she gave you her life, as did Kage-san... therefore, please, be happy." She whispered in his ear.
A few minutes later, as the moon began to shine its brightest and more of its rays entered the Li apartment, they broke the embrace, one looking at the other as both sat on the bed.
"Sakura..."
"Syaoran-kun..."
At this, the boy closed his eyes and lowered his head, shaking it in disapproval. Raising it again, he voiced his request. "At times like these, when it's just the two of us and the two of us only, call me Syaoran."
She smiled, clearly happy with it. "Hai... Syaoran."
He smiled back at her response and abruptly pulled Sakura back towards his body, hugging her delicate frame with tender strength, whispering softly in her ear.
"I'm going to make the best of my life for Suuki's and Yami's sake. I'm going to reach the happiness they wanted me to have. Sakura, will you help me grasp it?" He asked in yet another whisper before nibbling on her earlobe, sending shivers down her spine, her arms limp by her sides.
After recovering from the shock half a minute later, she nodded in response. Syaoran, seemingly happy with her reply, released her ear and turned his face to look at hers for a few seconds and she stared back. Slowly the chestnut-haired couple closed their eyes and leaned towards one another, meeting at the center for a passionate kiss, Sakura holding tightly to the sheets under her folded knees as indescribable pleasure took the girl. Leaning back her head, the emerald-eyed teen balanced herself on vertically outstretched arms while her partner slowly raised himself on his knees to follow her without breaking the kiss, lips hungrily brushing the ones beneath his.
At that moment, with the moon shining its light on their profiles, the two of them looked like a statue, and a very romantic one at that: Sakura sitting on her knees, holding herself with her extended arms a bit behind her body, head leaned back at an impossible 90º, while Syaoran, standing on his knees, legs between her thighs, his right hand on her lower back, the other on the back of her head, holding it right under his, their lips locked, but moving.
The difference was that statues usually don't move, but this couple did...
CUT LEMON SCENE
The moon watched from its height in full glory as the two lovers laid on their sides on top of the bed, their bodies tightly pressed against one another, lips once again glued as the girl's hands savagely ruffled his chocolate hair while the boy's lustfully roamed every part of her athletic body that he could reach without parting their locked mouths.
When they finally did break apart for air, Syaoran placed his head on her chest, Sakura's hands gently caressing his hair and face, both just resting from the previous actions in peaceful silence, only their breathing could be heard.
After a few moments of just lying there, Syaoran voiced an interesting thought. "I wonder what your dear brother and Kerberos would say if they knew..." He trailed off.
Sakura giggled a bit at that before answering. "Not to worry; it's my life, I'll make that clear to them." She said, gently raising his face to look at him in the eyes. "It's my choice, Syaoran, and even if you left me forever right now, all of eternity wouldn't give me enough time to regret anything. I love you, no matter what, I truly do..."
With those words, they kissed, simple and sweet, his reply heard between the movements of their lips.
"As do I, Sakura."
The stars of the dark night were the only witnesses as the couple started the whole ritual time after time throughout the night...
END of CHAPTER ELEVEN – THE RITUAL
A.N.: First and foremost, I know Sakura and Syaoran were a little OOC, but I seriously believe people "transform" when they're having sexual relationships, so thus I "transformed" them too. Another IMPORTANT message I'd like to leave is the fact that since the fic IS MINE and therefore I decide what will happen and what will not, Sakura will NOT get pregnant, unless I decide against it later, but I am in NO way encouraging anyone to not have safe sex, contrarily, I urge everyone to ALWAYS use a condom (at least) when having sexual relationships, unless there IS the desire to get pregnant and the certainty that none of the parties hold any sexually transmissible illness like AIDS! SAFE SEX, PEOPLE, SAFE SEX!
That down, like I wrote at the beginning, this chapter is mostly dedicated to the lemon part and since it was my first hetero lemon, I'd really like to know how I did, so please leave a review or an e-mail telling me not only that, but also any eventual mistake (spelling/typing, Grammar, coherency, whatever!) I might not have noticed when I did the editing/reviewing!
Stay tuned for the epilogue of "The Li Guardians"!
