Chapter 18: The Last IM and Email

Recaping the last chapter...

December 6

"Ohayo!" Sakura greeted cheerfully as she sat on her chair in the dining room.

"Ohayo, Sakura. Here's your breakfast." Fujitaka greeted back while he placed a plate with three pancakes in front of Sakura.

"Thanks, Otou-san." Sakura said as she sliced the pancake. "Wait, where's Onii-chan? I thought they had no classes today?" she asked her father.

Fujitaka sat in his seat and placed a plate of pancakes in front of himself. "He's in Syaoran's house. They're going to plan for their Christmas Party." he answered.

Sakura nodded and drank her juice. "Thanks for the breakfast." she said, as she kissed her father. "I'm going to school now!" she said as she closed the front door.

...x...

Sakura was walking down the streets to her school. She looked at her watch and sighed. It was only 7:00 and classes didn't start until 8.

Why she woke up so early, she has no idea. Probably from the excitement of meeting wolfdreamer in exactly ten days.

She's still confused who this guy is. At first, she's sure that isn't Syaoran because he said he's only 16. But later on, she figured out that he and Syaoran were in the same party and they both have a same wish. Is this guy Syaoran?

She passed the Tsukomine Shrine and stopped in front of it. She noticed a familiar guy who is talking to someone. He's talking to a lady with long red hair tied behind her head. Her clothing was this dress that looks similar to a traditional shrine suit. She held a broom in her hand and with the other hand, she handed the guy a brown covered thing.

(You know? Shrine suit? The one in Inu-yasha, the dress that Kikyou is wearing. I think it's a miko suit, but i made it shrine suit. 'Cause i don't know what it is called. You can find it also in Tsubasa Chronicle, episode 4.)

The guy turned and noticed Sakura. He ran to Sakura and smiled. "Ohayo, Sakura. You're early today." he said.

Sakura smiled back and nodded, "Hai, Syaoran. I don't know why, but its nice feeling because for once I'm not going to be late at school," she said as she looked at the lady at the shrine. She saw that it was Miss Kaho Mizuki, her teacher in elementary and her brother's girlfriend. She didn't know when she did come back.

Syaoran took Sakura's hand and dragged her to his car. "Well, let's talk in my car so we can eat these cookies Kaho made." he told her, opening the door for Sakura.

Sakura hopped in the car and giggled. Syaoran entered in the driver's door and shut it. Sakura opened the window, knowing that Syaoran won't start his engine.

The wind blew softly and Sakura inhaled it. It was refreshing. Sakura leaned on her seat and sighed. She heard Syaoran chuckle softly. Looking at him, she said, "What's so funny? Is there something on my face? C'mon tell me." getting nervous, she touched every part of her face.

"Nothing. You look so innocent today." he commented as he opened the brown covered thing.

Sakura blushed. Did she hear what he just said? HE JUST SAID SHE LOOKED SO INNOCENT! KYA! She smiled, a happy smile.

"What do you mean? I didn't look innocent yesterday, the other day, everyday? Just today?" she asked, teasing him.

Syaoran laughed as he took a bite of the star cookie. He offered Sakura some and she snatched the heart shaped one. "It's because you look like an angel. Today you look like an innocent angel, playing with the other angels," he said as he leaned on the driver seat.

Sakura blushed then looked at the other way. Look like an angel? An innocent angel? She felt like her heart is going to explode and take the earth with it. Destroying of all mankind, all of nature, even the WHOLE UNI- but wait, that's exaggerating WAY too much.

She bit her cookie and then looked at Syaoran who is savoring the cookie with his eyes closed. "Uhm, Syaoran?"

"Hmmm?"

"Otou-san said that Onii-chan was at your house. But why are you here? You're supposed to be in your house to prepare your booth right?"

"Hai. He called me saying that he's going to buy some materials for the booth first. He also said that if I got bored waiting for him, just go here and help Kaho clean the shrine and I'd get a bag of cookies as a 'thank you' gift."

"Hoe? So you went for the cookies?"

Syaoran chuckled, "No silly, I just thought it was nice to help." He handed the bag of cookies to Sakura. "Here, that's all yours. You can bring it to school, I'm already stuffed."

"Ya sure?" Syaoran nodded.

"Ok! Hee hee," and she covered it back up and put it in her bag. She smiled, "Arigatou." she said. Syaoran just nodded. After some seconds, she yawned.

"Ah, you can take a nap here. I'll wake you up in..." Syaoran paused as he looked at his watch. "a quarter to 7. Then I'll drive you to your school." he continued.

Sakura nodded as she laid her head in the seat. She closed her eyes and tried to sleep.

...x...

Syaoran looked at Sakura and smiled. Then he looked back in the street, he lied on the seat and sighed. Is he going to tell Sakura who he is? Also, is he going to say that he's going to Hong Kong after that? He sighed again. He's getting tensed.

He looked again at Sakura, the napping Sakura. Maybe she didn't sleep early last night. He's getting worried about her. It's his entire fault. If he didn't tell it to his cousin, she wouldn't get nervous or something. Well, he knows that Sakura is thinking about that guy, wolfdreamer. He can see it in her eyes.

He sighed again. How many times has he sighed this day? More or less five times since he woke up? He shook his head and took his bag in the back. He unzipped it and took a medium sized velvet box. He opened it and smiled. It's a beautiful necklace. It's only simple with heart shaped emerald in the center.

He closed it again. Sakura might see it and ask whom he will give it. He returned it in his bag and looked at his watch. 15 minutes before 7:30.

...x...

Sakura's dream...

Sakura was standing in a place full of stars. She just entered the booth of her Onii-chan's class, and where she and wolfdreamer will meet. She smiled because she's excited to meet him. But then she frowned when she didn't see Syaoran outside. She thought he could accompany her inside their booth.

She walked and turned to the left. She also remembered that she would see wolfdreamer at the dead-end of the booth. But she's confused. How did wolfdreamer know about the twist and turns in this booth? Well, she will find out later.

She reached the dead-end and saw no one. She just saw the glowing stars around her. Then she heard a voice.

"You're already here, Asuka." a familiar voice said.

"Are you Oni?" She asked, finding the voice.

"Hai. Did you wait for a long time? Sorry, I've got lost." he said while chuckling.

Sakura shook her head. "No, it's okay. I've been wondering, do you know someone in the Seniors? I remembered what you said to me the other day and..."

"Yes, in fact I'm a close friend of someone."

"Really? Uhm, can you face me now? I'm feeling creepy for talking to someone who's hiding," she said as she saw someone approaching her, Syaoran. "Syaoran?"

He nodded then smiled. "Yes, I am."

"You're wolfdreamer?" her voice is high. She can't believe what she's seeing. It's true. Her instincts are true that wolfdreamer is Syaoran. "No, you can't be!"

Sakura woke up and panted heavily. Syaoran looked at her worriedly. "Hey, what happened?" he asked.

Sakura shook her head, still panting. "Uhm, can you send me to school now? I just remembered that I'm going to meet Tomoyo in the library." she said, not telling the truth.

"Sure." Syaoran said plainly, knowing she's lying. He started the engine and sped off to Seijuu High.

...x...

"I'm telling you, Tomoyo. I dreamt that Syaoran is wolfdreamer. I freaked out and told him to send me here immediately." Sakura told Tomoyo.

Tomoyo just nodded. "Maybe it's a warning. But it doesn't look like one. Maybe it was just telling you that this wolfdreamer just looks like Syaoran," she said as she sat on her chair for the last period.

Sakura sighed as she sat on her seat. "Maybe you're right," she mumbled as the teacher entered the room.

...x...

1 week later, December 14

Sakura sighed. "I'm totally beat. Those tests are really hard!" Another sigh escaped her mouth.

Tomoyo giggled as she looked at her video camera. "It's okay! I'm sure you'll pass! Then afterwards we'll have a great winter vacation!" she exclaimed. Then she presses the play button in her camera.

Sakura smiled as she takes a look on Tomoyo's camera. "What did you recorded Tomoyo? It lookes like the next building in our school."

"Yeah. I was walking towards the music room when I saw this event and I recorded it." Tomoyo said as they watched the video.

It was Eriol talking to someone, a guy with a green cap. He was nodding as the guy tells him something. Then he looked at the way where Tomoyo was recording and tells something to the guy. Then they ran off.

"Hmmm... I'm starting to get curious what your boyfriend is doing Tomoyo. Maybe he's a gay?" Sakura said playfully, laughing loudly.

"I don't think he is. It's Syaoran he's talking to." Tomoyo said as she closed her camera.

Sakura looked at her and then grabbed the camera. She opened it and played the video. She pressed the pause button and zoomed in the camera. True, he looked like the guy. She played the video again and tried to read what Syaoran was saying.

"I- I need yo-your help?" she imitated the lips. Tomoyo looked at her and sighed.

"Hm, boys will be boys," she said as she shrugged. "Maybe, he's getting some help from Eriol because of their booth."

Sakura sighed as she returned the camera to Tomoyo.

...x...

Sakura changed to her home dress, a plain white spaghetti strap blouse and pink denim skirt. She turned on her laptop and connected in the Internet. She sat on her study chair and logged in the IM.

While the IM is reading, she also logged in on her email. She saw 1 message and opened it. It's from wolfdreamer. It said:

Hi Asuka. Maybe this will be the last email I'm giving you. I'm online today, so uh, I hope we can talk for our meeting. Also, where you will meet me. I'm planning on meeting you in the dead-end of the Senior's booth. It's a galaxy booth I think.

Sakura remembered her dream. "No..."

Also, I'll be there in 3:30 PM. I'll be waiting for you on the IM. Remember, I'll be in the booth at exactly 3:30.

Oni or wolfdreamer

Sakura sighed as she logged out in her email. She closed it and went to her IM. She checked her list and there he is, wolfdreamer is online.

IM conference - yingBlossom - wolfdreamer

yingBlossom: hi oni...

wolfdreamer: hi. did you recieve my email?

yingBlossom: yep. I already read it. sure, i'll be there.

wolfdreamer: ah okay. i'll be waiting for you there.

yingBlossom: okay... uhm, can i ask? do you know someone in the Seniors?

wolfdreamer: yep, you're brother. i've told you about that i know him right?

yingBlossom: uh, yeah. sorry i forgot. well, need to go. i still need to do my homework.

wolfdreamer: uh, sure. bye...

yingBlossom: bye.

Sakura sighed as she disconnected her connection. She didn't bother signing out in the IM. She read their conversation and then sighed again. Finally she's going to meet him.

She stood up in her seat and went to the bathroom. She needs to get a refreshing shower after being that tensed. She locked her bathroom door and turned on the shower. Then she heard a knock.

She turned off the shower and covered her body with her robe. "Who's there?" she asked.

"It's me, kaijuu. Can I use the phone? I need to call Syaoran." her brother said.

"I'm not a KAIJUU, baka!" she shouted. "Sure, just get it in my desk and you can put it down." she said as she took off her robe. She turned on the shower and continued to wash.

...x...

Touya sighed as he took the phone. She noticed Sakura's laptop and looked at it.
