Seven Nights, Two Boys, One Little Sakura

Chapter 10 - A New Pairing? II

Day 4

AN: Hi again! After not updating so soon, I decided to make this chapter earlier so I could update earlier too! Thanks for your reviews and supports... Because sometimes Im having second thoughts of this fic. I hope mine is not so dull and boring...

Recap: "You seem so concerned about them--" Mei ling was cut by him. "Not them... Im only concerned of Sakura. Coz Li might do something to her, im just pretty worried."

"Well that explains a lot!" she uttered. "Im worried about Syaoran! Now, I'll come with you... if its okay." Kanata nodded and they went their way to find the two.

-------chapter 10-------

Kanata and Mei Ling set out to find their two friends... Or better yet, their lovers of somekind...

They didn't spoke while on their search... Two hours had passed and not a single trail of their two friends were found.

"Where could they be?!" Mei Ling exclaimed.

"I have no idea.." replied Kanata without taking a glance at the girl.

"Can't we just rest for a while? Im pretty exhausted..." she said plunging down on the ground.

Kanata sighed and nodded in approval. He's not feeling so tired now since he's so desperate to find them... Rather, so desperate to see Sakura. 'I wouldn't mind if we won't find Syaoran... All I care about is Sakura.. Where could she be anyway?' While thinking, he didn't realize that his companion was already fast asleep. "Mei Ling why don't we--" He was supposed to tell Mei Ling to continue their search but when he twisted his head to look at her, he was surprised to see her sleeping.

Kanata sighed once again and decided to take a rest.

--------------------

Syaoran was starting to panic. "Sakura, I went around to see if there is another way out. Guess what? Its a dead end! We're trapped in here!.." he shouted.

"W-What!!!" Sakura yelled, stammering.

"I- I cannot and I won't believe this! Now, you're telling me that there is no other way to get out of this place!?"

"...probably" was Syaoran's simple reply.

Now Sakura was already frightened. She was thinking of the possibility of she and Syaoran dying in hunger in the little hole they plunged in. "Now what are we going to do...?" she asked looking sad and terrified at the same time.

Syaoran went to her side and wrapped one of his arm around her. "Im sure we can get out of here..."

"How?" Sakura asked, embracing Syaoran's body with her left arm.

Inspite of being dismayed by their condition, he still replied with full of assurance. "At this state, actually, I don't know how... But I'm sure we'll soon find a way."

Sakura smiled and planted a peck on his cheek. He hugged her tightly and so she did...

----------00----------

"Mei Ling... Wake up..." Kanata said tugging her shirt.

She was still lying on the ground and sleeping and snorring. "Come on! We still gotta find them..." he continued.

Mei Ling yawned. "uh... What time is it? Can't I just take a minute more? Im so exhausted."

"You've been sleeping for about 2 hours. Don't tell me you're not yet recovered. Come on now... Or you want to spend the night with me do yah!?" he teased.

Actually it did work. Mei Ling's eyes suddenly opened and jumped out of his sleep. "You! Y-you're going to harass me!" she exclaimed upon waking up.

"What the heck!? I have no interest on you!" he replied, shouting at the top of his voice. "You're hitting on me!" she accused. "What!? Are you serious?! No boy would ever want to hit you!!" he yelled.

But Mei Ling came and hit him with his tiny punches and kicked him. Well, unfortunately for Mei Ling, Kanata does know how to do karate and eventually blocked her attacks. She continued to charge but stopped the moment she fell tired. She was panting while glaring at him furiously.

"I already told you... I don't plan on doing that you... I just said that so you'd wake up from your pathetic sleep..." he siad derisively while he brushed his clothes clean.

"Sorry... i was just--"

"no biggie!" he cut her words.

"Anyway, come now! We still need to find them!" he stood up and started to walk but he found Mei Ling not doing any movement at all. "Do you plan on leaving?" he asked.

"Well yeah... But sorry to say, Im tired..!" she said with a big grin on her face.

Kanata sighed. "Oh shit. I cannot leave you here alone... Come on! Can't you just walk even just a meter!?"

Mei Ling stood up and took approximately 7 steps from her position and stopped. "There! I already walked 1 meter! Now, help me do the rest!" she said sarcstically.

"How?" Kanata asked.

"carry me." she said seriously.

"No!"

"Ok. Then come back here when you already found them..." she said.

Kanata was starting to get indifferent. 'No! Something may happen to her if I leave her here! i have no choice..'

"But I cannot leave you here alone!.." he pouted.

"Then its decided..." She motioned him to come closer and carry her on his back.

Kanata walked to her and carried her on his back. "Now let's find Kinimoto and Li!" she yelled while giggling.

----------##----------

"Im starving Syaoran.." Sakura protested weakly. Her energy were all drained up because she hadn't have that much sleep and she ate nothing at all.

"Im sorry Sakura but I am hungry too... I guess we should wait for help to come." he replied also with not much of a life.

"But how could they know that we're here? We're like stranded in an island surrounded with great bodies of water..."

Syaoran stood up. "Hey! I got an idea!"

"Well... What is it?" Sakura asked.

"Imagine that you are stranded in an island... What will you do to get help?" he asked.

"uhh... I will make a big bonfire for people near to notice me?" she answered unsurely.

"Exactly! Now what we need to do is twigs and then I'll be making a fire.! Not exactly a fire but the fire's smoke can be noticed by somebody right?"

Sakura nodded. She stood up and gathered all the twigs and woods that she could find scattered on the grounds. She took them to Li who immediately gathered them and started rubbing the two twigs to create a fire.

After a minute or two... Smoke started to come out of the twig.

"Yes! You're doing it right Syaoran!!" Sakura exclaimed in rejoice.

He continued and before long... they already created a fire...

"Now all we need to do is sit and wait here for somebody to notice us..."

Sakura giggled. Syaoran leaned to kiss Sakura. Slowly he put his lips on hers and nibbled on her lip slowly and sweetly. She replied to the kiss and pressed her tongue onto his mouth and explored the depths of his cavern while Syaoran placed her hands on her cheeks and face.

----------&&-----------

"Aren't we there yet?" Mei Ling asked.

"Nope.. Still can't find--" he stop when he saw a thin blanket of smoke coming out of a pit.

"What!?" Mei Ling asked.

"Look! There's a smoke over there! Its probably them..."

"Right!"

They ran to where the smoke came from but before Kanata knew... He fell on the pit. Good thing Mei Ling was able to clasp on something... She quickly pulled herself up.

Kanata fell on the pit and the first thing he saw was...

Sakura and Syaoran... making out!

The two immediately broke their kiss when they saw Kanata...

"uh... hi?" Sakura said.

----------end of chappie----------

AN: Sorry it wasn't that long... Anyway, was that a cliff hanger? Did you get the ending? I hope its not that confusing...
