Chapter Eleven
"Told you it was a nice place!" Sakura commented as they walked into the huge aquarium.
Li frowned as he studied the place with dismay. "It's too blue." he replied coldly.
Sakura smirked. "You can't judge this place by it's colors." She replied, and dashed off towards the ticket place.
Li growled as he followed her. "This is going to be boring.....very boring...."
~ * ~ * ~ * ~
"Omg! How are we going to fit through all these people?" Li exclaimed.
Sakura ignored his comment, and anxiously searched for a spot. "O, look! They're leaving, come on!" she replied happily.
Li growled. "So this is her idea of fun! She's wasting my vacation to go fishing!" he cursed to himself.
Sakura quickly took the spot and prepared her hooks. She glanced at Li, who was standing at a corner pretending to be cool. Sakura sighed with disappointment, and began to fish alone.
After fifteen minutes of waiting patiently, a tug came to her hook. Sakura beamed. She quickly reeled her hook up, and jumped happily as the struggling fish came to view.
"Hey!! Watch where you're swinging that thing!" A voice cried behind her.
She turned around and smile spread across her face. "So, you finally decided to join me?"
Li glared at her, as he tried to wipe out all the fish water that splashed into his eyes. "The corner was boring me!" He snapped.
Sakura laughed, and handed him a hook. Li took it while grumbling.
Finally, another set of minutes went by, and Sakura's string vibrated again. She beamed again. "Yes! Another one!" she chanted victoriously, and jumped happily, as she reeled the fish up. Li stared at her with a worried look. Maybe he should have brought her to the doctor....
"Damn it! Sakura! Stop doing that! You keep getting fish water all over my face!" Li yelled.
Sakura stopped being happy, and peered at Li. He was all wet......... She smiled at him, as she took out her tissues from her sweater pocket.
As Li desperately wiped away the water from his eyes, Sakura slowly began to pat a tissue on his cheek. He stopped rubbing the moment the tissue touched his cheek. He looked into Sakura's intense soft expression, and felt warm all over......
"I....I'll do it myself..." Li muttered softly, afraid he'd do something stupid if he didn't.
Sakura nodded understandingly. She turned around and gently placed her fish into the clear blue waters.
~ * ~ * ~ * ~ 6:00 PM!!
Sakura smiled. "Don't worry, Li, you'll do better next time. Come on, you did catch one fish!"
Li glared at her. "It was the size of a tadpole!" he exclaimed.
Sakura burst into laughter. "Tadpoles can grow!"
Li glared at her more.
Sakura grinned. "Hungry?"
"Starving." he answered gloomily.
Sakura smiled brightly. "Great. Let's go!"
"Where?" Li asked in his non emotional tone.
Sakura dragged him out the door, and pointed across the road. "You see that restaurant there? (Li nodded) It's a very cool restaurant, with an ocean scene and I've always wanted to go to a restaurant like that."
Li smiled secretly at her happy face, as she led him down the road. He liked it when she was happy.... and he wondered why....when she was happy, he couldn't help but be happy too....
~ * ~ * ~ * ~ Inside the restaurant
"Ouch!"
Sakura laughed. "Watch where you're going! You keep bumping into things!"
"Omg! It's so dark here! You would think they're too cheap to pay for electricity! Their lights are dim as hell!" Li retorted indignantly.
Sakura grinned. "It's to add onto the romance!" she informed casually.
"What romance! I don't see no romance! I see bruises!" Li hollered.
"Shhhh! Li! You're going to make them feel bad." Sakura hissed.
"Ouch! Do dwarfs work here! Their ceiling's so low!" Li mocked.
"Li!!!" Sakura yelled.
"Ok, ok, ok! I'll stop!" Li muttered.
Sakura sighed, as one of the waiters came towards them and led them to their seats.
"They do have a nice view..." Sakura breathed, looking beyond the glass. The night had already made it's way up the sky. The glistening waters reflected the spectacular moon floating slowly above white sailing clouds.
Li looked over the menu at her, and grinned weakly. "Are you ready to order?"
Sakura turned and smiled. She lifted her menu and began to pick her meal. "I would like a platter of fries, soda, and a cheese burger."
Li sweat dropped. "Wow, you're unique." He muttered sarcastically.
Sakura glared at him.
~ * ~ * ~ * ~
"So, what do want for dessert?"
Li looked up from his drink, and shrug. "What do they have?"
Sakura smiled. "Ice cream, cake, jello etc...."
"I'll just have whatever you have."
Sakura nodded.
~ * ~ * ~ * ~
"A banana boat?"
Sakura smiled, and nodded. "Yea, we're sharing it. Is that ok?"
Li hesitated, but nodded his head.
"Great! Here." She handed him a teaspoon.
Li watched as Sakura took a tablespoon of ice cream, and ate it happily. Li smirked, she was so cute...
For some reason, sharing ice cream with her was better tasting than any ice cream he had ever ate before.
Suddenly, unexpected soft music began to flow through the restaurant's huge speakers.
Sakura and Li exchanged looks as memories of Christmas eve floated through their minds. A smile formed on Li's lips. He got up from his seat and held out a hand to the surprised girl before him.
".....May I?"
Sakura stared at herself, she was in one of her typical boring forms at the moment......dressed in simple baggy clothes. "I look pretty stupid right now..." she mumbled to him, as she held out her own hand towards him.
Li shook his head gently, and softly replied, "I like dancing with stupid people."
Sakura glared at him, and allowed him to lift her off her seat. Once on the open floor, Li took her petite hands, and placed them around his neck, while revolving his own set around her slim waist.
Staring into his pure amber eyes, Sakura felt weak all over again.......... for some reason this time seemed more affectionate than the first time .....she felt as if she was drowning in a sea of warmth.... it was heaven....and even better..... the peaceful warmth that filled every vein in her body left her light headed and....loved...
"Sakura?" Li whispered.
Sakura could barely hear him, from the warm sensation his touch was sending through her body.... "Yea...?" she asked back softly.
"Can I hold you like this forever?" he whispered gently, and lightly tightened his grasp around her waist.
Sakura smiled at his words.... "Yes...." she whispered, unaware of what she had done...the answer just came out.....
Once the music had stopped, like before, they were conscious and aware again. They pulled apart with a weird longing feeling, that they both ignored. They quickly glanced at each other before settling back in their seats again.
~ * ~ * ~ * ~
"So....where do you want to go now?" Li asked, while heading out the door of the restaurant.
Sakura smiled, and pointed at another direction.
Li looked up, where her finger pointed and frowned. "Where?" he asked quizzically.
Sakura smiled, "Up!" and that's all she said. Then she took hold of his hands again, ad pulled him towards the direction of her destination.
~ * ~ * ~ * ~
"You want me to climb that?" Li asked with a unbelieving look. They were now standing at the foot of a tall snowy hill, and it seemed miles up!
Sakura nodded. Li gaped at her, and touched her forehead to make sure she wasn't sick.
"Why?!!!" Li exclaimed.
Sakura smiled mysteriously. "You'll see. Come'on let's get moving."
Li groaned. "Can't we just take a helicopter there?"
Sakura grinned widely. "Where's the fun in that?" Then she turned around and began to climb.
"God, tell me she's normal!" Li replied with sarcasm.
~ * ~ * ~ * ~
"Finally, we made it!!!" Sakura cheered happily. Her eyes traveled through the sceneries below, and she cried out dreamily, "This is so pretty.... the climb was worth it!"
*Puff* *Pant* *Puff* *Pant* "Hell no!" Li gasped breathlessly as he finally made his way next to her. "What was wrong with the idea of a helicopter!!!" He growled.
"We have leg's Li, use it. Besides, it's good exercise!" Sakura replied with a smile.
"But I'm not you! I'm not fat!" Li puffed with a smirk.
Sakura glared at him. "I'm not fat!" she yelled and gave the mocking boy a light push.
Li laughed. "Watch it! We're 10,000 feet off ground!"
"Gee, like I really care! I'd push you off this hill if the snow wasn't there to support your fall!" Sakura retorted.
Li chuckled. "So, why are we up here again?"
Sakura's face became excited. "What time is it?!!" she asked anxiously.
"O, that answered my question." Li mumbled, and obediently checked his watch.
" 8:50 PM. Why?"
Sakura smiled. "It's a little surprise for you... I guarantee you've never seen anything like it!"
Li stared at her with suspicion. "O...k...."
Sakura smiled at the broad moon, and Li stared at her smiling expressions.
*Silence*
"Sakura..."
"Hmm?"
"Have you ever had a crush on someone?"
Sakura gave a small laugh, and turned to face his serious expression. "Why?"
"I don't know.... I just feel like asking...." Li mumbled.
Sakura grinned. "No.... I haven't.... why? Does the infamous cold-hearted Li Syoaran have a crush on someone?"
Li shrugged again. "I don't know...."
Sakura chuckled. "Confused?"
Li looked into her bright emerald eyes, and the sight of the friendliness within them, made him smile. "Maybe...." he answered with wonder.
Sakura smiled as the breeze wisped through his soft messy chestnut hair. His intense appearance made him look quite charming.
*Beep* *Beep*
"9:00...." Li murmured, as his watch beeped.
Sakura stared at his watch and then at the sky. "Watch..." she whispered, and pointed to the sky.
Li's inquiring eyes traveled above, and curiosity overwhelmed him. "What?"
Sakura smiled at him, but didn't reply. Li turned and stared at her, and wondered why her face suddenly seem to be glow....in different neon colors too... "Sakura.... are you glowing?"
Sakura burst into laughter, and carefully pushed his face towards the sky....
Li's amber eyes widen with awe. Before his eyes.... the dull murky sky had lit up with enchanting mystical light, that changed colors in steady intervals.
"Surprise..." Sakura replied softly.
Li stared at her with the soft expression he only shared with her... "How did you know..."
Sakura grinned...
*Flashback*
"Hey, Sakura..., before you go.... I want let you in on something...."
"What is it, Kero?"
".....When Li was five.... he always wished to see an aurora..... and once he waited forever on a mountain trip with his parents outside.... but it never came..... and he was so disappointed.... up until now.... he still has an inner aspiration.....and.... it just so happens.... there will be an aurora tonight...at approximately 9:00 P.M... but you can't tell anyone this, or God will take away my dinner! This aurora is one of those unexpected events that no one was prepared for... got it?"
Sakura's eye filled with thought, and she smile crept through her lips. "Thanks, Kero!"
*End Flashback*
"Magic..." Sakura answered. "Just magic...."
Li frowned. "You are by far the weirdest girl I have ever met in my life."
"Thank you." Sakura responded with a grin. She turned back to the aurora and sighed fondly.
Her delighted eyes glistened along with the soft colors... and Li couldn't help but stare... for some reason she was more interesting to look at...
Sakura's POV
This was my first aurora scene too.... It was indeed a wonderful sight. Funny how I can die and still 'live' to see this. I felt myself smiling. I was quite happy today. Li was the usual, grumpy and discreet, but I'm sure he's just as content.
I let out another sight, as a bright green color blended in with the previous pink light... if anything was magic.... this was what I would call magic....
The colors were once again beginning to change...
"Sakura?"
I nodded in response, but continued to look at the sky... all of a sudden, I caught a glimpse of his face edge close to mine.... and I felt his lips give me the worlds most sweetest kiss.... I felt my body tense up, I began to blush as a sudden bliss of pleasure filled me......
Normal POV
Sakura quickly turned and faced Li's sweet smile....
"Thanks, Sakura..."
Sakura started to smile... then stopped and glared at him. "LI SYOARAN, THIS IS THE SECOND TIME YOU DID THIS!!!!!"
Li laughed at her reaction. "What, you mean this?" he leaned forward and gave her another peck on the cheek.
"LIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII SYOARAN!!!!!!!" Sakura stared at her sneakers, and frowned.
Li grinned happily. "You're not wearing high heels. Now lets see what you're going to throw at me!" He teased.
Sakura glared at him and held up a fist.
Li chuckled and started dashing down the hill. Sakura let out a discreet grin and started to chase after him.
~ * ~ * ~ * ~
"Ah.... home at last..." Sakura replied with a happy sigh. She opened her door, and entered her home which was, apparently, consumed by darkness. She began to search for her friendly golden bear until.....
"Hello, Sakura.... you're home late...."
Sakura gasped. A boy in the corner of the room stared at her with a mysterious smirk...
A/N: Hm..... I wonder...... who is this boy??? Lolz, find out soon!!!! Hope this chapter was satisfying. Bye! C you soon!
