Syaoran noticed the girl's eye's had opened. But their lips had already touched. He jumped up with a jolt. "I'm so sorry, I thought you had-" Syaoran was cut off "fainted?" Sakura said timidly with a blush. Syaoran felt like kicking himself from embarrassment. Yet, strangely he liked kissing her. 'God, why the hell am I having these thoughts? Why would I like to kiss a stranger?' "Uh. are you alright?" Syaoran said with a blush. "I have a headache. but I'm okay." replied Sakura. "Why did you go so deep down without a longer snorkel?" asked Syaoran. "I. uh.. don't remember." lied Sakura, blushing furiously, "I have a short-memory spam you know." 'I don't know why but I don't feel like telling him the truth, he might think I'm stupid.' thought Sakura. "What's that in your hand?" Syaoran paused, "I'm really curious about things. Sorry for being so nosy." Syaoran gave Sakura a rare smile. "Curiousity killed the cat!" laughed Sakura, changing the topic, and stuffing the bottle into her snorkeling suit's pockets "C'mon, let's go find everybody."
Syaoran paused, "What's your name, by the way?"
"Sakura, and yours is Syaoran right? According to Meilin you're her quiet cousin."
"I can be loud if I want.." Syaoran whined, as a joke, "How do you know Meilin anyways?"
"We used to be friends-" "at Meilin's old school in Japan." finished Syaoran. "Trust me, she has a million of those. The only person I remember from my old school is my old girlfriend."
Sakura laughed, "Meilin was so different back then. I remember in kindergarten when we were making a paper cranes as an art project. She kept on asking me how to do things, and in the end, hers turned out like a frog. Now, she knows everything."
Syaoran stopped in his tracks, "You made paper cranes in kindergarten?" "Yeah, our sensei, Mr. Hino, was so nice, he was the only teacher who let us do paper cranes and other projects."
'Mr.Hino.. paper cranes.. ' thought Syaoran. "And I bet you were so good at making paper cranes, you made so many of them, and gave them away to everyone, ne!" said Syaoran, saying it more as a statement than a joke.
"Hey.. I think I did! Are you making fun of me?" whined Sakura.
"No, why would I make fun of you? I barely know you!" said Syaoran. A/N you know, Syaoran and his mood swings - "Umm.. okay." They were stuck at an awkward silence until, "SAKURA! SYAORAN!" yelled Meilin. "What have you two been doing, secretly walking on the beach romantically while we've been snorkeling, watching beautiful sights under the sea, while you guys are watching each other! Huh! Sakura! You better not be hitting on my cousin, he'd be cheating on his girlfriend!" 'Girlfriend?' Sakura thought.
Tomoyo and Eriol ran up with all their equipment off, hearing all of Meilin's words. "Ohayo Meilin!" Eriol thought, 'I was watching beautiful sights under the sea' as he thought about the violet haired girl with beautiful amethyst eyes. "Sakura! Guess what? Eriol gave me this." said a smiling Tomoyo pulled out a beautiful shell necklace. "Huh? Who's Eriol?" "Eriol went to the same school as us! He was in our class remember? But he moved to Hong Kong soon after 1st grade!" "Who's Eriol?" a dense Sakura replied. Tomoyo pointed at the navy haired boy prentending to stare at the sea, when it was obvious he was staring at Tomoyo, blushing from head to toe. "Ohh.. really? Cool!" Sakura replied, grinning at Tomoyo's interest Eriol. "Sakura, we're leaving!" Touya interrupted A/N doesn't Touya interrupt a lot of things?
&&
Sakura sighed.. and leaned back on the chair. So many thoughts ran through her head. She couldn't believe that Meilin was actually here! Then there was Syaoran, and his weird mood swing. He was funny one moment and the next he's acting so serious and cold. Maybe something was bothering him. 'Why do I even care, anyways? I'm probably never going to see him again, unless Meilin plans for us to go somewhere else together. Okay, maybe I am going to see him again. It's not like we're gonna be friends or anything.' thought Sakura disdainfully. Then there was Tomoyo.. she obviously thought of Eriol as a friend or more, but already? Whatever, Sakura thought. She didn't want Tomoyo to get hurt. Eriol was nice.. but she didn't really know him that well. And then, there was Syaoran with his CPR. And He was practically kissing her and oddly, she liked it. 'WHY AM I THINKING THIS? I did NOT like the "kiss"!', Sakura cried in her thoughts, angry at her thoughts. 'It's just a stupid thought. I don't like Syaoran! I just, never had a kiss before, yeah, that's it!' A/N Guess who comes and breaks Sakura's train of thoughts? "Sakura, we're here." Touya noticed Sakura was staring blankly at the sky, he sighed. "SAKURA, WE'RE HERE!" "OH! heh." Sakura got out of the car.
AT DINNER
"Mhhmmm.. Touya this food is good." said Sakura as she stuffed her mouth full with sushi.
"Of course it is, squirt, I made it."
"So, did you find anything while you were snorkeling?"
"I found some shells, and I scratched myself on a hard coral A/N I went to Hawaii before and the coral is HARD so I lost them all. So I don't really have anything. How about you, kaijuu?" replied Touya
"I found.. uhhh. some shells. Ohhhhh.. I also found a long lost pirates treasure map in a bottle!" Sakura runs off to look in her snorkel-gear. "Here!" Sakura proudly shows Touya the bottle. "It's probably really old and very rare! You better not call me kaijuu or I won't share my treasure with you!" Sakura stuck her tongue out at Touya A/N Yes, Sakura is amazingly immature and dense for her age, lol, but later she'll be more serious and smart gasps
"It's not old, or long lost baka, look at the paper inside, it's fresh and crisp, and no wrinkles, not yellow, not burnt, NOT OLD!"
"Nani! You lia-" Sakura looked, "oh.."
"Well, I'm still going to open it and YOU don't get to see!" Sakura ran off to her room.
&&
Sakura carefully used a bottle opener to open the bottle. The cork popped out of the bottle. It hit the ceiling and made a little dent in the ceiling. "Oops." 'This bottle is nicely made.. it has a dried sea star and some sand inside, and a inscription on the front.. Must be Chinese." She slid out a carefully rolled up paper. On one side it read: On the back of this paper is my address and a wish I want granted. Could you please write back? I'd like to know you better. Thanks :. "Okay. that's really weird, is this some kind of random pen pal?" Sakura asked herself. She turned over the paper: I wish that I could move back to Japan and have a lot of friends and some one I love. 'This person was definitely someone who believed in love, and seems a little self-centered.' Sakura thought. Under it, it read: 314 1st St. Hong Kong, and in a neat handwriting, "I'm on vacation so I'm at 2135 Beach St., Kawaii. Thanks, XiaoLiang.
Sakura thought this was sort of strange, but she decided to write back. It would be the right thing to do because the person asked for her to write back. Besides she would have something other people wouldn't have, something all to herself for once. She decided to start her letter..
Dear XiaoLang,
I never thought I would ever have a "pen pal" but now, I guess I do. I love the bottle it came in. I was snorkeling when I found it. It has made my vacation a little more interesting I guess. I don't know what to say, I'm not good at writing down my thoughts, and always end up writing the wrong thing. I'm also not a very good at expressing myself. That's what my drama teacher told me, but she thinks I'll improve. I guess that's why I never had a diary before. You'll be like my little diary. I can tell you whatever I want, because I probably will never see you, or you'll never go to my school. How old are you anyway? I'm 17. What did you do so far on your vacation? I came with my best friend, and my annoying brother A/N makes Syaoran think it's a YOUNGER brother :P . I hope you'll write back, and I'll give you some shells I found while snorkeling.
Bye,
Ying Fa
Sakura didn't feel like using her real name. It just didn't seem right. Anyways, she didn't want to get really close to any stranger. It would be scary if the person was really a murderer. She was already feeling weird around Syaoran, she wouldn't want to be in a mess with two strangers in a whole summer!
"Sakura!" Touya shouted. "Hurry up, come down! Something horrible has happened.."
muahahahahaha, a cliffie! I hope this story I'm getting from the original theme isn't totally different from anything I wrote. Please R&R!
