Chapter four: The Lovely Voice
Sakura lead Syaoran back to the smell of cinnamon with the warm smiles of kids and others around him. "I have to get ready, so go and sit with Tomoyo or Touya, my brother!" she yelled leaving him. "Who!" he yelled back, but soon found a young girl with long navy blue hair and eyes, dressed in a brown dress with feathers in her hair, staring right into his face.
She didn't talk, she just smiled. Then she took his hand and led him to the feast.
"Are you Tomoyo?" he asked in a slow way so that she could hopefully understand. She nodded and smiled. Syaoran looked ahead until Tomoyo poked his cheek to turn to the left of him. There, right in front of his eyes was a man, who was looking down on him like he was a bug that should be squashed.
Syaoran gave a weak smile and wave. "You're Syaoran Li, the Prince brat," he said in a rather mean tone. "Brat!" he yelled. "Thought so, you sure do smell like it, royalty, disgusting," the man said grabbing meat and biting into it furiously. "Who are you then? Fag?" Syaroan said giving him a death glance.
"I'm Touya, Sakura's sister you idiot," he said with his mouth full.
Syaoran's face fell with horror. "O-Oh." Syaoran said as his eyes fell upon the fire. "Syaoran, you're dead by the time this is over. Idiot." he thought.
A group of people sat in an empty spot on the floor with wooden instruments in their hands. A woman with a harp played a tune so nicely everyone fell silent.
Sakura walked in the circle with a white dress, anklets made of pebbles and a white feathered crown that was place on her head.
She took out a white cloth and waved it around. Then she stopped and her voice echoed the area.
We're walking in the air
We're floating in the moonlit sky
The people far below are sleeping as we fly
I'm holding very right
I'm riding in the midnight blue
I'm finding I can fly so high above with you
Far across the world
The villages go by like dreams
The rivers and the hills
The forests and the streams
Children gaze, open mouth
Taken by surprise
Nobody down below believes their eyes
We're surfing in the air
We're swimming in the frozen sky
We're drifting over icy mountains floating by
Suddenly, swooping low on an ocean deep
A mighty monster from its sleep
We're walking in the air
We're floating in the midnight sky
And everyone who sees us greets us as we fly
Sakura finished in a pose with the cloth in her hand and her eyes closed. Everyone cheered and she bowed smiling and blushing.
Tomoyo who was sitting next to Syaoran got up and walked up to Sakura leading her away into a giant tent.
He looked around as everyone chattered and ate. Men smoked tobacco and passed it around. The kids played with their food until their mother's silenced them. Syaoran saw Touya go up to another woman with a smile as the woman laughed and teased him.
Sakura did return eventually. Syaoran was sitting by the forest leaning on another tree with a cup in his hand. Sakura was in her usual clothes, her top and her short skirt with the blue writings.
She sat next to him waking him up. "Don't they ever stop dancing?" he asked with his eyes half open. Sakura giggled and replied, "No. When it's the full moon, it's the festival, we worship the moon until is disappears into the morning."
Syaoran yawned. "Hey you want to go somewhere? It's a wonderful view!" Sakura said excitedly. She leaped up and Syaoran slowly rose to his feet. "Follow me! And make sure my brother doesn't see us!" Sakura said in a whisper. Syaoran left his cup on the ground and again, they went into the forest.
Sakura took him around so many things he wasn't sure that he would remember where they came from. Sakura climbed the rocks and helped Syaoran every once in a while.
"Look at it, isn't it wonderful!" Sakura squealed. They were on a giant hill made of some grass and rock. She lay on her back facing the sky. Syaoran hesitantly lay next to her, giving a little gap.
There was silence as they both gazed upon the sky. "There's so many," Sakura said in a small voice. Syaoran nodded, but kept quiet.
It fell silent and only the crickets chirped. Syaoran kept looking. Then a fast light passed his eyes. "Hey, a shooting star," he said looking at his side. Sakura's eyes we're closed. She had her hand on her blue marked stomach. Syaoran looked at her fair skin and her auburn hair.
He sat up looking down upon her. "Great, now how am I supposed to get back?" he said aloud.
Then, he felt an arm wrap around his neck and pull him on the ground. Sakura wrapped around him with her leg and arms with her head on his chest. Syaoran tried to pry her off. "Sakura?" he said in a whisper. She didn't move or stir, she just kept breathing in her slow pace.
After a few attempts to get her off, he finally just left it as it was and laid there on his back with a princess on his chest in a rather awkward position. He blushed every time she mumbled or moved.
"Might as well make a wish," he said and closed his eyes.
