FANTASY DREAMS

Chapter 12

Sakura was walking desperately around her room. Tears were showing in her eyes, anguish was filling her body. Her father had prohibited her to accompany Yukito, now she had no way of finding out if that was Syaoran. She took a deep breath and then looked outside her window, she had to calm down. She was going to see him, they were meant to be together, he had come all the way to see her, and she didn't dare to think what were the consequences of him leaving his kingdom. Maybe his mother gave him permission… she would hate it if he just ran away to see her and once there they couldn't find each other.

But no, she was going to see him. Finally she decided to take her heavy blood red cloak and walk over to the throne room. Since she wasn't allowed inside se would wait outside, she would make sure he saw her once he left the room and she would make him follow her. How she didn't know.

Syaoran was on his knees, talking to the king. He really had no idea of what to say, so he decided to ask for permission to live on the kingdom and perform his arts. The audience didn't take long. The king told him to return un three days, by then his decision would be made. With nothing left to say he started walking outside the room, followed by Tomoyo and Eriol. His heart was beating slowly now, he didn't see Sakura, it was stupid, how was she going to know he was there.
Two guards opened the heavy doors and let them outside, the just had to walk through the hallway and they would reach the exit door. Neither Tomoyo nor Eriol dared to say a word, they could feel the pain he was in. Tomoyo placed her hand on his shoulder con give him comfort, but Syaoran just looked at her and showed her a soft and fake smile. When she looked over at Tomoyo he noticed there was a group of women walking their way, they were all following one woman, wearing a heavy dark cloak.

He couldn't help but stare at them, he couldn't see her face, but something in her avoided him to look elsewhere. The passed next to them and he could have sworn that for a second he saw Sakura's emerald eyed under that heavy cloak. His eyes widened and he looked over to his friends to see if the saw her too.

"That was Sakura!" he said softly but eager, "didn't you see her?" Tomoyo and Eriol looked confused at him

"No Syaoran I didn't see her, she was wearing a cloak, there was no way we could have seen her face" Eriol said seriously

"That was her!" He said as he took off, following them, leaving Eriol and Tomoyo behind.

He followed the group until they reached one of the gardens. He kept his distance so they would see him. He saw how the lady told the other women to stay there and he saw her take off on her own inside one of the forest paths. He had been there before, earlier, he was walking around the gardens and found that path, but a guard stopped him from going though it.
He was determined to find Sakura so he decided to go through it, over the trees, that way all those company women wouldn't see him and he could go unnoticed to see her.

Syaoran walked on the trees for several minutes until he found a little cottage that was facing the river. There, sitting on a swing was a girl. He felt his heart stop at the sight of her. Her long auburn hair, her soft skin, her big emerald eyes, she was there. He stayed there for some seconds, looking at her, admiring her beauty, how could he ever leave her?
Suddenly she looked over to the trees, maybe she had heard him, he saw how she was looking for something up on the trees. He climbed down the tree and stayed behind it, just looking at her. But then she looked over again.

"Syaoran?" She said softly. She knew he was there.

He walked from behind the tree. The look on her face when she saw him, it took his breath away. Tears appeared on her eyes, and a smile as well. She stood up and ran over to him, throwing herself over him, giving him a tender hug. Her breath was quick, he grabbed her face softly between his hands and looked at her, the tears made her eyes glow.

"I missed you" he said giving her a soft kiss on the lips. She returned it, kissing him even stronger, but her crying didn't stop.

"Stop crying" he said with a nervous laugh "I'm here, I won't leave you again" She looked at him with sad eyes.

"Syaoran… I missed you so much" she said holding him, feeling his strong arms surround her "When did you get here? How did you get here? Did you come alone?" Syaoran smiled and looked at her. She was the same girl he had left behind months ago.

"I came with Eriol and Tomoyo, we flew the kingdom, we arrived here yesterday"

They flew the kingdom… those words echoed on Sakura's head for a few seconds. She looked at him confused.

"You mean you can't go back to your kingdom?" He nodded, but Sakura couldn't find an ounce of sadness on his eyes.

"No… but I don't plan on going back… Sakura you have to come with us! You can't marry that guy, let's leave, we'll travel the world, be free, come with us"

"But I have people after me every minute of the day! They won't leave me alone for a second! How do you plan I'll run away?" He showed her a clever smile and looked around him.

"Just leave that to me. Tonight leave your window open when you are going to sleep, you'll see how easy it is" She nodded and kissed him again.

Someone walking towards them told them it was time for him to leave. So he climbed a tree a fast as he could. He saw how one of her maidens approached her, and asked her about her tears Sakura just smiled and said nothing was wrong. They left the forest and went back to the castle. Syaoran stayed there for some seconds, he couldn't believe he had found her.

Later that night Sakura punt on her night gown and told her maiden to leave her alone, she wanted to sleep alone that night. The maiden told her that she was going to be just across the door and left Sakura on her own. She went to the window and opened it. Hoping Syaoran didn't take long.

She fell asleep quickly, dreaming about her beloved Syaoran. The cool wind blowing inside her room didn't bother her. But in the middle of her sleep she felt something warm on her face. She opened her eyes and saw Syaoran there, caressing her cheeks softly.

"You look so cute when you sleep" He said softly, giving her a tender kiss. "Now come on, Eriol and Tomoyo are waiting for us on the river with a boat" Sakura looked confused at Syaoran.
"We are living on boat?"
"Of course, if we leave by horse they could follow us, and it's safer to escape through the forests, it's harder to find us, but you have to change you clothes" He said with a huge smile. Sakura smiled back at him. She walked over to her closet and took out some hunting clothes, it was easier to run away on comfortable clothes for running.
Sakura stripped naked in front of Syaoran who could only admire her beauty, he wished they had more time, he wanted to taste her, to touch her but he couldn't right now. She changed her clothes and then they climbed out her window.

They made it to the forest without much trouble. For a second there they thought they had been spotted, but it was a false alarm. They reached Tomoyo and Eriol, who were waiting for them on a boat, on the river. Their greetings were very emotional, Sakura felt her heart was going to explode, she couldn't imagine a happier moment in her life.
The boat started flowing with the river, they were headed to the mountains, what would happen there they didn't know they just knew that a world filled with adventured was waiting for them. And now nothing could ever set them apart.

No one ever saw or heard anything about them in their kingdoms, although search parties were sent for them. Stories said that they settled on a small town, and stayed there. But we know for sure that now that they were finally together nothing could ever ruin their lives.
