All of a sudden all the lights in the garden went out and a few people screamed. Eriol's strong voice came in the dark. "Everybody stay calm. I'm sure the problem will be solved momentarily." (Eriol had not planned the blackout but maybe some unknown force in the universe a.k.a. me, had!)
Within seconds the lights came back and everyone was shocked by what they saw.....
Sakura and Syaoran lost in a passionate kiss.
I didn't mean to fall in love with you
And baby there's a name for what you put me through
It isn't love, it's robbery
I'm sleeping with the ghost of you and me
They broke apart from the kiss and became aware of all the eyes on them. Sakura mumbled something under her breath and ran away. Syaoran followed close after her.
"Sakura!" he called after her.
"Stop it! Go away!" she yelled back. She ran back to her room and locked herself in there for the rest of the night, ignoring all the knocks and pleas coming from her door, crying her heart out.
"Why am I putting myself through this again? I can't be totally crazy!" She looked at her reflection in the mirror. She sighed and looked away not wanting to see the all too familiar tear stains. "What if this really is a second chance though? What if this time we actually might get our happily ever after?" She sighed again in frustration. "Oh! I don't know anything anymore!"
The next morning Sakura woke up, refreshed and almost forgot about the events of last night.... until she came out of the room and saw Syaoran crouched next to the door sleeping. A small smile came across her face but as soon as it had come, it was gone. She woke him and said, "We need to talk."
They walked into the closest empty room, which was the music room. Sakura closed the door and started, "About last night-"
"No. Sakura don't try to rationalize it ok?"
"I'm not! I was just caught up in the moment and with Tomoyo and Eriol getting married, I just got a little carried away!"
"I just said don't try to rationalize it!"
"I have to rationalize it because just being near you like this is driving me crazy!"
An evil idea was planted into Syaoran's head. He took a step towards her. "Oh really?" He smirked.
"Y-yes." Something about the way he said that made her very uneasy.
He took a couple more steps towards her. "What exactly is it about me that drives you crazy?"
Her heart started racing, her breathing became shallow, and her mind became a jumble. She was at a loss for words. She opened her mouth to say something but nothing came out. She was frozen to the spot unable to move back as Syaoran came closer.
"Well?" he asked. He was now less than a foot away from her. He took her hand and kissed it.
Her heart fluttered at his touch.
He knew full well the effect he was having on her for it was the same feeling he got when he was near her.
He looked deep into her eyes and she gazed back. Slowly both their heads inched towards each other until they were caught in a sweet kiss which soon turned very passionate.
Then the door to the music room opened and they both flew apart. Tomoyo walked in. "Oh here you are Sakura! I've been looking for you everywhere! Whew is it just me or is it hot in here! Look at you two, you're flushed! Uh... Did I interrupt something? Nevermind! Come on I want you to help me get ready!"
Sakura walked away with Tomoyo, not daring to look back at Syaoran.
"Oh Tomoyo you look so beautiful!" Sakura admired her friend dressed in a beautiful, white, princess-like dress.
"You don't look so bad yourself!" she joked, looking at Sakura who was dressed in a lilac, spaghetti strapped dress that flowed down to her ankles.
"Oh I'm so happy for you!" Sakura hugged her best friend, both nearly in tears.
"Don't worry. I have a feeling that we'll be doing this for you sometime very soon."
Sakura scoffed and looked away. "I just got caught up in the moment! It was nothing!"
"Did I say it was something?" Tomoyo grinned.
Sakura sighed and went to answer the knock on the door. She opened it and saw Syaoran. "We need to talk."
"Uh-oh. Nothing good can come after that sentence," Tomoyo joked from inside the room. "But then again you guys aren't a couple so it's not like you're going to break up, so maybe some good will come out of this!..."
Sensing that her friend wouldn't shut up until she went to talk to Syaoran, Sakura walked out of the room and closed the door. "What do you want to talk about?"
"Sakura, you know that what I did three years ago was not to hurt you right?"
She scoffed and turned around to walk away but he caught her hand and turned her around.
"Sakura, you have to understand. I wanted to give you everything but I had nothing to offer back then."
"Yes you did. You had the one thing that I was asking for: you love!"
"Sakura you had my love! You've always had my love and you always will! I love you, I love you, I love you! Nothing is ever going to change that! You're my sun, my moon, my starts! You're the reason I get up in the morning. You're the reason for my living. If I was born for only one purpose it was to love you!"
"Shut up," she said in a low voice.
"What?" he was a little surprised. This was not the reaction he had hoped for.
"Just... shut up." Her voice was barely above a whisper but he heard it. Sorrow and pain came into his eyes but they disappeared when Sakura flung her arms around his neck and kissed him with all the love and passion she had stored up in her heart the past three years.
