Hero and Heroine

Chapter Eleven

Sakura was in this nice little restaurant that not too many people knew about. Actually she didn't even know about it until Donald took her there. When they got in the place seemed like it was empty so it was easy to get a seat. They sat down and after a few seconds ordered a cup of coffee and a smoothie.

Donald leaned across the table holding Sakura's hands in his. "I just wanted to say I'm sorry."

"For what?" She had that innocent face on and it was hard for him to picture her naked when she looks so innocent.

He shook his head and tried to regain his thoughts. "When we went to the mall. I didn't mean to hurt you when I said I'd rather be with Tomoyo."

Sakura was happy that he apologized. She has been thinking about that situation at the mall but still tried not to let it show. "Don't worry about it. No big deal."

His face lit up and he felt like a huge weight was lifted off his chest. "Thanks, I was worried that after that you wouldn't want to talk with me."

"That's silly."

Then the waitress came and gave Donald his cup of coffee and gave Sakura her smoothie. Then he leaned over the table and took her hands in his. He gave her the most sincere look he could make and looked deeply into her eyes.

"I know we don't know each other to good but I was wondering if maybe you'll consider going out with me tomorrow night."

She was shocked to hear the words coming out of his mouth. She wanted to say no, but one look at his face made her change her mind.

"Um...sure, I'll like to."

He didn't expect her to say yes. After talking with her for a couple of times he thought she didn't like him. "Really? Are you serious?"

Sakura started to laugh. He was acting like a little boy who was just told he was going to an amusement park.

"Yeah." Then she looked at her watch. "I have to go, but thank you for the wonderful time." Then she grabbed her smoothie and left.

Donald watched her as she left the restaurant. He had a smile plastered on his face as thoughts of him and Sakura popped into his head.

When Sakura entered the apartment it was darker than usual. The curtains were closed and the blinds were shut.

'I didn't leave the place like this. Did Syaoran come home?'

She noticed a bowl of popcorn on the coffee table and the television screen was blue.

'Was he watching a movie?'

Sakura was slowly walking around the apartment looking for Syaoran. When she came to his door she started knocking and yelling his name.

"Syaoran, Syaoran are you in there?"

"Why are you yelling?"

Sakura jumped at the sound of his voice. When she turned around he was standing there smiling.

"Don't scare me like that. I thought you were in your room."

Syaoran was still standing there smiling at how much she acted like a little girl. That's when he noticed Sakura staring at him with a dazed look on her face.

"What's your problem?" His smile went away and he became defensive.

"No, don't stop."

Now Syaoran was really confused. "Don't stop what?"

"You were smiling, I've never seen you smile before. It makes you look cute."

Syaoran looked down at the floor. His face was starting to turn red and he didn't want Sakura seeing him blush.

"Are you ok?" She started to bend down to see his face.

He had to think fast. The last thing he wanted was for her to think that he likes her. 'Wait a minute, do I like her? She is beautiful.'

"Syaoran you're acting weird."

Hearing her voice brought him back to reality. "Speaking of weird, I went to the video store to get a new movie to watch."

"A new movie?" Sakura was waiting to see where this was heading.

Syaoran had a smirk on his face. "Yeah, I had so much fun last night I thought we could have another movie night."

Sakura jumped up wrapping her arms around his neck and kissing him on the cheek. "Great, I knew you'd love spending time with me once we got to know each other."

Then she let go of him running over to the couch getting comfy. Syaoran was kind of shocked to have gotten a kiss from her, even if it was a friendly one. But then he forgot all about it when he sat down on the couch, as his plans to make her talk were about to go into action.

"Sakura, you want to grab on to me now or would you like to wait for later?"

Sakura threw a pillow at him. "That was a one time thing. I guarantee you it won't happen again."

Then Syaoran picked up the remote and started the movie. He glanced over at Sakura just so he could remember how normal she is before he started the movie.

They got through the previews without any problems but once Sakura saw the name of the movie she started to freak out all over again.

"Syaoran what kind of movie are we watching?"

"A good one." He knew that wasn't the answer she was looking for but he wanted to play around with her for a second.

"No I mean is this a war movie, a romantic movie, maybe a comedy." She was looking at him trying to avoid looking at the screen.

"It's a horror movie. The guy at the store said it was the scariest movie he'd ever seen."

"Really?" Sakura force a fake smile as she inched closer to Syaoran. The movie had barely started and she was already clinging onto Syaoran's arm and burying her head in his chest.

"I thought you said you wouldn't grab onto me this time." He had a smirk on his face. He had her right where he wanted her.

"Please can we not watch this movie?" She sounded like she was about to pour her eyes out.

Syaoran could hear the desperation in her voice and didn't have the heart to scare her as planed. He picked up the remote and stopped the tape.

Sakura raised her head when she didn't hear the movie anymore. She looked at the screen then at Syaoran. "Why did you stop it?"

"You asked me to." He looked down at her shaking figure. "What's wrong with you?"

"N-nothing, I'm fine."

"Bullshit, you're freaking out just like last night. Now if you don't tell me what's wrong I'm going to start that tape up and make you watch every last minute of it."

Sakura squeezed his arm. "Ok I'll talk just don't start the tape please." She took a deep breath and began to tell him everything. "I have this thing about me whenever I watch a horror movie or something remotely scary I start to get really scared."

"Why?"

She looked up at his face. He looked truly interested and that made her not want to say anything else. "No reason, I guess I'm just a freak that's all." Then she started to get up but stopped when she felt Syaoran's hand on her arm.

"Tell me or I'll start the tape."

She swallowed hard and continued. "Fine, I'll tell you but you can't laugh or tell anyone else."

"Who would I tell?"

"And you can't use it against me."

Syaoran raised an eyebrow. "How can I use it against you?"

"Blackmail, or threatening to make me watch a movie if I don't do something you want or even just scaring me for fun."

He put his hands up in defense. "Fine, I promise I won't ever do anything to hurt you, now can you tell me what happened?"

"When I was young my mother died leaving me my brother and my father. The only memories of her are the pictures my father gave me and even when I look at them it's still hard to believe that I ever had a mother. Then my brother started to tell me stories."

"What kind of stories?"

"He would tell me that he was talking to mother in his dream and that she said that she loved me and is watching over me all the time. I used to feel joy from hearing his stories until someone came to our school and started to talk about ghost and the supernatural world. She said that there are ghost everywhere. When I heard this I remembered the stories my brother told me and started to feel happy that my mother was always watching over me. But then she told us that these ghost are lost. They don't know the difference between living and death. They pick one person and follow them porously trying to put them in dangerous situations so that they can get their revenge on the person that killed them. Since then I always felt that I caused my mother's death and that she only looks over me just to feel satisfaction the day I die. And now when I watch horror movies wild thoughts go through my head. I think that all these stories are true."

Syaoran looked at her with disbelief. "Are you serious? That is why you can't stand horror movies."

"I know it's stupid but that's just the way I feel." She started to feel very childish under his gaze. At that moment all she wanted to do was run into her room and huge her pillow. She didn't need to hear his commits on how childish she was acting. She knew her story was farfetched but it was the truth. She was waiting for him to make fun of her or call her a baby. She didn't expect for him to pull her closer to him.

Syaoran felt sympathy for her. It wasn't right for someone that has no clue about ghost to go around telling children this stupid story. Although he wouldn't have believed it he understood that Sakura was a trusting person and probably never knew what a lie was until she was a teenager. He didn't like seeing her this way. She is a strong person, and he wished that he could take away all her fears to let her live a normal life. But the most he could do was console her and keep her secret.

Sakura's mind drifted from her fears to her feelings. She felt his warm body against hers, his strong arms consoling her and his chin on the top of her head. Being next to him took away all her problems and cleared her mind from any thoughts.

'What's wrong with me? My body is heating up; my heart's beating faster, what is this feeling inside me? It's been happening a lot lately, but only when I near him. Can I be falling for Syaoran? No, I can't be.'

Sakura pulled away from him with a smile on her face. "So now that you know do we still have to watch this movie?"

"No, you can go do whatever you want."

Sakura got up and looked down at him with a smile on her face before he headed for her room. Syaoran watched her shut the door behind her. Then he looked down at the spot where Sakura was. He missed her, the smell of cherry blossoms that followed her, that smile she always had on, and he missed how close to she was to him.

Minutes later Sakura emerged from her room wearing a white tank top and a pair of gray sweat pants. She ran to the couch and jumped on Syaoran who was still sitting there watching television.

"What do you want to eat?" She had a huge smile on her face while looking up into his eyes.

Syaoran tried to avoid eye contact so he kept his eyes on the screen. "Whatever you make I'll eat." He had the remote in his hand and he was channel surfing.

Sakura got up off the couch, straighten out her clothes then reached a hand out to Syaoran. He looked at it like it was a foreign object.

"Why are you giving me your hand?" He looked at her as if she were crazy.

Sakura took a deep breath then grabbed the remote out of his hand and put it on the coffee table. Then she both his hands and tried to pull him to his feet.

Instead of helping her he just sat there smiling at her weak attempt to pull him. "What do you want?"

"I want you to come keep me company in the kitchen." Then she made another attempt to pull him but she was still unsuccessful.

Syaoran decided to show some pity on her and stood up and followed her to the kitchen. She sat him down at the table then started to get out some lettuce and chop it up.

"So, how was your day?" Her eyes were too busy to look up at him. She didn't know he was watching her.

"You brought me over here to ask me how my day was?" He tried to sound annoyed but he failed. He wasn't really annoyed, but he had to try and change the topic. He couldn't tell her that he woke up, got something to drink, tried to save the world and almost died, then went to the video store.

Sakura looked up at him and smiled. For a moment Syaoran was breathless.

'That smile, the one that makes me forget whether I'm coming or going. What is it that she got over me that makes me feel this way? Why can't I stop thinking about her when she's not around? Why do I feel the same way for Cherry Blossom?'

"Syaoran why are you looking at me like that?"

Her voice brought him back to reality. He rubbed him eyes then stood up. "Since I'm going to be here is there anything I can do?"

"You don't have to do anything." She had that innocent look on her face as always. And that innocence just accentuated her beauty.

Syaoran tried not to look at her directly. If he did then he'd be in another one of those dazes again. "I need to keep busy, just give me something to do."

About thirty minutes later the meal was almost done. They had worked together to make dinner and each one of them was enjoying it. Sakura was happy that he was finally opening up to her. She wants more than anything for them to be friends. And Syaoran felt free. Not that he was trapped, but his voice seemed more upbeat, and he smiled more with her than he has in years. The weight of the world wasn't on his shoulder, well at least not all of it. But their happy laughter was interrupted by a knock at the door.

Sakura went to answer the door leaving Syaoran to set the table. When she opened the door she found Donald standing on the other side.

"Donald what are you doing here?"

He kissed her right hand before he decided to say anything. "I came here because we never set a time and date."

Sakura was standing there looking up and to the left. "Set a time for what?" She pulled her hand away from him in a polite way making sure not to offend him.

"Our date silly. I was thinking Wednesday around seven." He was standing there waiting to hear her answer. He liked her a lot. Something about her makes him feel energetic.

"Um...I guess so. I don't think I have any plans on Wednesday."

"Great, then it's a date. I'll see you then." Then he left allowing Sakura to shut the door.

After she shut the door she was still a little confused. 'Why did I even agree to go out with him? I don't like him that way. Actually I find him kind of creepy. Is there a way to get out of this?'

When she turned towards the kitchen she saw Syaoran standing there glaring at her. "Is something wrong?"

He ignored her and instead sat down to the table and started to eat.

'I can't believe she would she would go out with that creep. She barely knows that guy. What if he's some kind of psycho that plans on kidnapping her? Then I would have to save her; well maybe I'll get Cherry Blossom to save her instead. After all I wasn't good enough to go out with, why would I be good enough to save her?'

"Syaoran are you ok?"

When Syaoran raised his head he saw Sakura sitting across the table with a worried look on her face. "Yeah I'm fine, just leave me alone." Then he got up and put his plate in the sink and locked himself in his room.

'Did I do something wrong?' All Sakura could do was sit there and eat her dinner while her mind was on Syaoran.

Later that night Syaoran was sitting at his desk doing some paper work in his room when he started to get a painful headache. He grabbed his head pulling on his hair. He could hear a voice in his head.

"No, stop please!" It was a female voice.

Syaoran let go of his head and was starting to think clearly again. "What was that?" He had never felt that before in his life, but something inside him told him that something bad was going to happen.

He barged out of his room and headed straight for the living room. Sakura wasn't there. Then he started to pound on her door but there was no answer. When he opened it he found that she wasn't there either.

"She's probably at Donald's place." The thought of her at his place only made him angry before he headed out of the apartment.

Meanwhile Sakura or Cherry Blossom was in the woods slowly walking around. "I know my vision took place here, but where are the people?"

It was dark and she could barely see anything in front of her. "Come out, I know you're there." Sakura heard some rustling in the bushes. Then a dark figure appeared. Not knowing who it was she got into her fighting stance.

The figure was getting closer and closer until she could recognize who it was. "Wolf?"

Syaoran was walking towards Cherry Blossom with his hands up in defense. He walked slowly trying not to alert her. "Haven't seen you since this morning, how have you been?"

Sakura relaxed once she saw Wolf. He had that smirk on his face that meant he was going to piss her off soon. "What are you doing here? There are no people to save."

"I was about ask you the same thing." He was now standing right in front of her looking down into her eyes. "Little girls shouldn't be playing in the woods all alone at night."

"Look out!" Sakura pushed Wolf aside and took a full energy blast head on.

Syaoran was already on the ground when he realized they weren't alone, but it was too late. Cherry Blossom had her hands crossed in front of her trying to deflect the blast, but the energy was too strong. The blast started to rip through the sleeves of her uniform and was cutting into her right arm.

Syaoran got up and started running towards her. He couldn't let her take that blast head on. "Get out of the way!" He was about to knock her down but was blown back by a strong wave of energy. If it weren't for the tree he hit he probably would've been thrown further.

"What is that light?" Syaoran could barely open his eyes. There was a bright pink light surrounding Sakura.

'I've seen that aura earlier but it seems as if she became stronger in less than a day.'

Sakura let out a loud scream and the energy blast was deflected up into the air.

Darco stood there in his black cloak watching her get stronger within seconds. 'What the fuck is this girl made of? No matter, I can still destroy her.'

The pink aura was now gone and Sakura was left standing there out of breath. 'If it took all my energy just to deflect that blast, then there is no way I'm going to be strong enough to beat this guy.'

"You should have listened to your boyfriend. Little weak wannabe superheroes shouldn't wander the woods at night." Then Darco pointed a finger at Wolf who was leaned up against the tree. A little yellow ball of light formed.

"Say good bye to your lover boy."

"No, stop please!"

Syaoran's eyes flew open. 'That voice, I heard it earlier. It was Cherry Blossom.'

The yellow ball of light grew to the size of a soccer ball and was directed towards Syaoran.

"Wolf, watch out!" Sakura couldn't do anything but yell to him. She didn't have anything left in her besides her voice.

Syaoran's amber eyes were consumed by a green light. Everything around them turned black and white and started to move in slow motion. Syaoran got up and walked towards the once fast energy ball that was moving towards him.

He hit the ball away into a tree causing it to catch fire. Then he drew his sword and aimed it at Darco.

"Water come to my aid!" Then a big gush of water was directed to Darco, but before it hit him he had already vanished.

Everything went back to normal speed and color. Sakura was standing there holding her right arm. She looked at Wolf who seemed like the perfect hero. He was standing there looking at her with those gorgeous amber eyes of his, and behind him was the flaming tree, which made him look like he was in a comic book.

'Oh my god he's handsome.' That was the last thought she had before she passed out.

When she woke up she was in a dark place. Everything around her seemed old and dingy. She was on something hard. It wasn't the floor but at the moment her mind wasn't thinking clear enough to notice she was on some crates. Then she saw a dark figure sitting with it's back turned to her.

"Wolf?"

Her voice was weak and barely noticeable but Syaoran still heard it. He got up to go sit by her side. "It's about time, I've been sitting here for almost an hour."

Sakura rubbed the front of her head. "Was I out for that long?" She tried to get up but was pushed back down.

"You still need to rest."

She moved his hand away. "Don't tell me what to do, I'm a big girl." She tried to move again but Wolf had her shoulders pinned down.

"You're not going anywhere." His face was serious. His voice was stern. He was not going to let anything bad happen to her.

Realizing defeat Sakura could do nothing but take a deep breath and relax. "Fine, but how long do I have to stay here?"

Syaoran put a little smirk on his face. "As long as I tell you to. Plus I bet your cats can live without you for one night."

"What makes you think that I have cats?" She had a confused expression on her face.

"Don't all lonely women have cats?"

Sakura was starting to get steamed. "What makes you think I'm lonely? Maybe I have my boyfriend waiting for me at home worrying about if I'm still alive."

Syaoran started to lean in closer to her. "Maybe you don't."

Sakura swallowed hard. "Well, maybe I have to go meet my brother and now he thinks I don't love him anymore."

Syaoran leaned even closer. "I doubt it."

Then a thought came to her. "You think I'm a woman." A smile crept onto her face.

"What?" Syaoran was only an inch away from her. "What does that mean?"

"You said lonely women have cats, you didn't say lonely girls."

"So?"

"So, that means you think I'm a woman. If you thought I was a girl then-"

He put his hand over her mouth. "You should learn to shut up when someone is trying to kiss you."

"Well you should learn not to wait so long before you ki-"She was cut off by Wolf's mouth on hers. Syaoran grabbed her right arm placing it around his neck. But when his hands touched the cuts he felt a string of pain through his body.

He felt bad that she had those cuts because of him. And every time he felt that guilt he kissed her more tenderly.
