Closer…
Closer…
Their lips now a few millimeters away… the heat uncontrollably rising up…
Closer…

"I'll be going home tomorrow, Wei," Lindao's voice echoed from the other end of the line. He called Wei earlier to inform him of the sudden change of plans he has to make since all the nice things that attracted him to the school he was now going to, was proven wrong in front of his very eyes the moment he got there.
"I'll make everything ready, young master," Wei replied as he walks in from the back door of the kitchen.
A sudden commotion from the living room startled him as he places the phone on the marble table. He quickly ran to where the sudden thumps came from and was startled the exact same way the moment he saw two distictly, familiar figures lying on top of each other, faces leaning closer as he walks silently towards them.
Syoaran had halted and stared at Sakura's tensed face despite her eyes closed. He did hesitated and was able to stop himself right before the contact.
Sakura, on the other hand, sensed the sudden halt and slowly opened her eyes, careful of crossing her eyes if Syaoran's face was too close.
Syaoran moved slowly further, now drifting deep into Sakura's eyes as she stared right back. Both were breathing hard though the fact that they didn't do anything. Sayoran gulped hard. "I uh…" he tried, words on the tip of his tongue.
A shrug from behind them snapped them back to reality and made them both jump and sit upright. They are now both blushing furiously, embarrassed of the fact that someone saw them on top of one another.
'My God… how am I gonna find a way out of this?' Syaoran thought racingly as he realizes that it was Wei who had suddenly stepped in, which he think was unintentional.
'Please don't ask me to explain…' Sakura rushed in thought as well.
An eerie smile curled on Wei's lips. He remained silent, bowed in front of them and continued to the front door.
Silence filled the room, as both rushed for something to say.
"I uh…" they both started the same time.
"You go first," they snapped back again.
"No, you!"
They faced each other and couldn't help but smile at the sudden awkwardness. A giggle also made it's way through all the blushing.
They were both about to utter something when the door suddenly opened again, this time audible though squeaking as if someone very modest was opening it.
"Syaoran?" Maemi's voice was heard as her head pops in from the door.
Syaoran's face dimmed as he made face, as well as Sakura.
When Maemi entered the room, she stared at the two, who were still slumped on the floor, before she turned completely to Syaoran and flashes a false smile. "Let's go ice skating," she invited Syaoran, struggling not to tremble not because of shock but more because of anger and… jealousy?
It took a few moments before Syaoran could nod and stand up. He turned to Sakura and offered a hand which Sakura refused to take as she stands up by herself.
"Hey… wanna… join us?" Syaoran asked hesitantly.
Sakura felt gauche. "S-sure!" she manage to force herself to answer in her cheery voice. "Why not?" she pointed out, desperately trying to cover up her haziness.
"Good… then… let's go! Grab your things and let's go!" Maemi exclaimed rather unhappy. She didn't like the thought of Sakura coming with them… not one bit.

"Things are simply getting worse," Eriol said firmly, his fingers playing playfully with the crystal ball beside him. "She's a good-for-nothing servant," he insulted, speaking of the usual visitor he was summoning every now and then.
"Don't be too hard on her, she IS a new recruit," a girl with long, wavy, dark violet hair and empty amethyst eyes replied as she steps out of the shadows that normaly surrounds the edge of the room.
"Then maybe YOU should do it, Tomoyo," Eriol replied playfully. "You have been around a lot longer… not to mention that Sakura IS your best friend," he pointed out. "Unless you forgot as well," he suddenly cleared the comment.
The amethyst eyed named Tomoyo, bearing a sly smile on her face walked towards Eriol. "WAS…" she corrected. "Yeah sure… when do I start?" she agreed to his suggestion.
"You are evil…" Eriol responded eagerly. "Makes me wonder where the sweet Tomoy went," he added.
"After THAT accident and after you scoop me out of the underworld, that part of me has long been gone," she explained as if it was nothing of importance. "With my soul as well, if you have forgotten," she corrected herself.
"It's set then…" Eriol concluded. "After I get rid that useless servant, you can have the job,"

"Oh no… it's closed!" Maemi moaned as she stares at the big sign saying 'Closed for today; Cleaning; Open tomorrow' in bold, capital, red painted letters.
"We just have to come back tomorrow," Syaoran concluded as he removes his green gloves and putting it to one of his pockets.
"We don't have any choice," Maemi responded more maturely. "Let's go home," she added.
Syaoran and Sakura nodded as they head back to the car.

"Good night!" they shouted at each other as they enters their own rooms.
Sakura sighed as she slumps on her bed. "What a day…" she whispered to herself as she closes her eyes. 'He's warm…' she thought, remembering her little encounter with the bossy Li Syaoran. "Ack! What am I thinking?" she slapped herself back. 'Might as well go to sleep before something more unbelievable enter my mind…' she mentally noted herself as she closes her eyes and soon fell to sleep.
>>>>>Dream
'Where am I?' Sakura's voice echoed a dark and endless room. 'I'm speaking with my mind?' she thought outloud again. Her words are heard outloud, but her lips are shut close. 'Cool…' she added playfully.
She walked comfortably deep into the endless darkness, not worrying where it might take her. Then, she saw a light… A bright light. She decided to continue on her way and walk towards the interesting bright light. Her determination soon paid off. She reached the light but was to find nothing else but a glowing circle on the unseen floor.
'What? All that walk for nothing?' she complained.
Suddenly her dark and empty surroundings changed , pieces flying off and revealing what it has, hidden in the endless emptiness.
Sakura gasped at the sudden view that was uncovered right in front of her eyes. Not because of its beauty, but because of the total chaos and destruction that was enraged with burning black flames and a river of blood flowing with floating bonned bodies.
'Eew…' she thought disgustedly, her voice still echoing outside her head.
Suddenly, a figure walked towards her. Face covered by a silvery robe, unusual with the scenery.
"Help me… Sakura…" the figure moaned at her.
"Help you? How? And… how did you know my name?" she asked, opening her mouth this time.
The hooded figure removed the silvery cloth covering its face and revealed a face of a pained girl in her teen years, hair of long dark violet and teary amethyst eyes.
Sakura's eyes widened in two circular emeralds. "T-Tomoyo?" she muttered unbelievably.
"No…" the figure replied, getting translucent. "I'm just her soul… the soul she left here…" it added.
"But WHY? HOW?" Sakura asked racingly in return.
"Look… I have no more time… I just need to tell you that Tomoyo isn't who she is… she's been corrupted by the dark shadow as well. Please, you need to save her! PLEASE!" it coontinuously shouted as it gets more translucent in a way that you could see clearly, what it has behind it.
"But how? ANSWER ME! WAIT!" Sakura yelled back as the figure of her best friend disappears…
>>>>>End of Dream
"TOMOYO!" Sakura's shout echoed in her own room as her eyes and her half body jumping up form bed burst open.
The striek of the early sun's ray pierced her eyes close as the memory of the cofusing dream flashes back to her. A question kept coming to her. As far as she knows, Tomoyo is in England for study, if her soul is not with her… where is she then?
'Tomoyo…' she thought worriedly.
