My Poem That Was Inspired By Me Writing This Fic
:Promise:
We promise on the stars tonight
To love each other forever
To never forget this emotion
And to hold it deep within our hearts
Even if we aren't together
We shall never forget
The love that we once shared
No matter how far we are
We will always remember
Prologue Part Two
Tomoyo stared at her swim gear that laid in front of her, memories of the practice came back to her.
Flashback
"Tomoyo!" her coach yelled at her, "What are you thinking? You're not improving at all!" Tomoyo just nodded her head as she floated around in the crystal clear pool.
End of Flashback
A ringing brought her back to her senses. She lunged for the purple phone by her bedside and placed it on her ear, "Moshi, moshi?" she asked gently. "Oh Moyo!" Sakura's happy voice exclaimed, "Syaoran asked me out on a date! I've never been so happy before Moyo!"
Tomoyo smiled softly for her friend, "Aren't you glad I made you tell him?" She could feel Sakura beaming on the other line, "Yes thank you so much Moyo you don't know how much this means to me. It is all thanks to you!" "I have to get going now," Tomoyo quickly said interrupting her babble.
"Aww alright take care!" Tomoyo didn't answer and just hung up the phone. Tomoyo laid back down on her bed, 'I should be happy, but why does my heart ache so?'
SaturdaySyaoran stood by the side of the subway looking around. "Syao-kun!" a soft angelic voice called out. He turned and saw Sakura in a light pink sundress. Her hair was curled making it bounce around her. On her left arm she carried a basket.
He noticed a younger girl was walking close to him, "Hmm, not bad about an eight if you ask me." He noticed as Sakura blushed embarrassed, "Gomen, this is my sister Miaka." She said while pointing to the young girl beside her.
Miaka grinned at the couple. She had short hair like Sakura, but it was a lighter shade. Her light brown eyes held laughter and joy. "Alright, alright I'm going to go now. Leave you two love birds alone," she gave them a wink and whispered softly in his ear, "Planning on taking her innocence?" before hurrying off.
The two blushed furiously, "Gomen," Sakura apologised again, "she insisted on coming with me." Syaoran chuckled and placed his arm around her shoulder, "No, it's alright, she seems like a nice girl." Sakura nodded and the two walked in the train that led to the beach.
They sat together and waited as the train moved out. Sakura looked towards Syaoran worriedly, "Are you okay? You look tired." Syaoran smiled, "Just haven't been getting enough sleep lately, almost time for graduation." Sakura nodded, "Get some rest I'll wake you when we get there."
Awhile later the train stopped and the two exited. "Why didn't you wake me up earlier?" Syaoran asked her as he looked around his surroundings. They were on the side of the ocean. The sun was shining brightly above them. In the middle stood a single bench around all the sand.
Sakura blushed, "Gomen, you were just sleeping so peacefully. I didn't have the heart to wake you." Syaoran led her to the bench, "I should be the one saying sorry, because of me we missed our stop." Sakura smiled sweetly and opened the basket, "Let's just make the best out of our first date." Syaoran nodded and took out a sandwich, "I promise to make it up to you."
Sakura shook her head, "No you don't have to." Syaoran cuddled closer to her, placing the basket down, "No, how about we go to the festival next week together?" Sakura's eyes lit up happily, "Okay just me and you?" Syaoran nodded, "Just the two of us." Sakura placed her head on his shoulder, "Where are you going to go after school is finished?"
Syaoran looked off towards the distance. In truth he wasn't planning on attending a college. He just wanted to get out of Tomoeda and find a job, "I'm not sure yet, I'll probably leave." Sakura looked up at him with hope in her emerald pools, "You could go to Tomoeda college if you try. I know you could. And than we wouldn't have to be separated."
Syaoran thought about her words before asking, "How about you?" Sakura had a large smile on her face, "I'm not telling!" she said cutely and stuck out her tongue. Syaoran chuckled and pulled her closer towards him as they waiting for the next train to return.
He had offered to walk her home since it was getting late at night. "Than you so much for taking me out," Sakura said softly while blushing. Syaoran held onto her small delicate hand, "No problem, it was all worth it." Sakura blushed at that comment. Soon they reached her house. Sakura took both his hands, "Would you like to come inside?"
Syaoran thought for a second and was about to respond when Miaka came running from behind them. "Nee-chan, invite him inside," she yelled and grabbed his hand, "Come on." Sakura giggled, "Mia, let him go." Miaka shook her head, "No! Come on now my parents don't bite!"
He didn't get to answer as she dragged him inside. Sakura just giggled and followed the two. Once they were inside Miaka yelled out happily, "Saku brought her boyfriend for dinner!" Sakura blushed as he held onto her hand, "Gomen Syao-kun." Syaoran just chuckled, "Don't worry about it, I want to meet your parents."
Sakura nodded her head as they both sat down by the kitchen table. Dinner was served and they all sat down together. "Mommy, that's onii-chan!" Miaka said while pointing towards Syaoran. Sakura looked at her younger sister, "Onii-chan?" Miaka giggled, "Of course, I mean if you're going to take all of my sister you're going to have to marry her!" Sakura and Syaoran blushed furiously as Miaka giggled at the kawaii couple.
Her mother, Nadeshiko, had long luscious ebony hair that flowed all the way down to her waist. Beside her was Fujitaka with his brown hair and eyes. He smiled warmly at Syaoran, "Nice to meet you." Syaoran nodded and they all got ready to eat. Fujitaka looked at him softly, "You better take care of my daughter." Syaoran nodded stiffly, but than a smile broke out, "I would never hurt her." Sakura looked at him and blushed furiously.
The other three people smiled brightly at the couple. They were perfect for each other.
For the next few days Syaoran and Sakura's relationship grew and blossomed. They grew a new understanding and love with the other. Tomoyo's swimming improved and they all hung out together, the four of them, Syaoran, Sakura, Tomoyo, and Eriol. Soon the day of the festival came. Syaoran had told Sakura to wait for him at the festival.
After school that day Tomoyo walked towards him. Smiling softly she said, "Can you meet me on the hill tonight?" Syaoran was about to say no when he noticed the nervousness in her eyes. He nodded and mentally added to himself to call Sakura and tell her that he'd be a little late.
Up on the hill Tomoyo stood tall, as she over looked the city. The city where she had grew up, and intended to stay. Hearing the trees rustle she turned around to see Syaoran smiling sweetly at her. "What did you want to talk about?" he asked while leaning against the cherry blossom tree. "Another guy asked me out today," she said while turning away.
"What did you say?" Syaoran asked while looked at her form. Her body was beautifully shaped due to her swimming. Her long ebony locks looked so silky to touch. "I didn't give him an answer," she said so softly that he had barely heard. "Oh?" Syaoran said surprised, usually she would just reject the guy and go on with her life.
Tomoyo nodded touching her hair softly, "He was the first guy who didn't comment on the hair that I hate," she said while tightening her grip, "and he-he said I should try something new. And that I would probably look better with it short." Syaoran nodded unsure of what to say. Tomoyo looked at him, "What should I answer him?" Syaoran shrugged, "Well what do you feel for him?" Tomoyo looked off towards the sun that was slowly setting. It gave her a yellow and orange silhouette that flowed around her. "Nothing," she spoke softly.
"Could you ever love him?" Syaoran asked her gently. Tomoyo looked at him, she appeared to be deep in thought. Suddenly a large smile of realisation appeared on her lips, "I know what to do now. Arigatou." Syaoran chuckled, "No problem, anything for a friend."
"Syaoran!" he heard an angry gruff voice yell out his name. Syaoran walked away from the tree and saw Eriol running towards them. Eriol was holding onto a flustered Sakura. Eriol was wearing a white top and blue jeans. He hand on a large scowl on his face, "How could you leave Sakura waiting like that for two hours? She was so worried that she started crying!"
Syaoran looked towards her, her eyes were slightly red. A tightening pain ached in his heart knowing that he had made her cry. She was wearing a blue and purple flowered kimono with white behind it. She had on a small smile on her delicate face. Tomoyo ran towards her friend, "Gomen! Gomen! It's my fault. I told Syaoran to meet me here. I didn't know you guys had a date, I just needed to talk to him about my problems, gomen."
Sakura looked at her friend, and touched the tear stained cheek, "Don't cry Moyo. If it was because of you it's okay. As long as Syaoran isn't hurt, it doesn't matter where he was," Sakura smiled brightly, "And since we're all here, how about we all go to the festival?" Eriol smiled, "Best thing I've heard all day, but first…" he took out a silver camera, "Let's take a picture, to remember this moment forever." Sakura nodded happily and stood beside Tomoyo.
Tomoyo wrapped her arms around Sakura. Syaoran stood behind Sakura while Eriol was behind Tomoyo. "Now smile at the camera guys," he said while the beeper started going off. A flash was seen and the picture of the four friends came out. They looked so happy and perfect in the picture
The festival was fantastic. The four friends had a great time together. Soon it was time to go, Eriol had taken Tomoyo home, so Syaoran took Sakura. When they reached her house she turned around to face him, "So would you like to come in? My parents and Miaka aren't home this time. They all went to the festival together. They told me they wouldn't be home until way late at night." Syaoran looked at her and smiled, "I would love too." Sakura nodded and led the way into her house.
Walking up the steps they slowly entered her room. It was painted a soft pink with touches of blue here and there. Syaoran walked forward noticing a large glass cabinet with books inside. "They're all children's book," he commented. Sakura nodded her head, "I want to be a children's book author when I get older," she said softly while looking away. "Do you have that book, from when I first met you?" "Mayauru no Okurimono? No when I returned to the book store to get it again they had already sold out," she replied softly.
Syaoran nodded his head, "You should write a story about us." Sakura looked into his chocolate orbs, "Us?" Syaoran smiled charmingly, "Yeah, us four friends." Sakura nodded her head, "I should." Syaoran gazed into her eyes lovingly, "I love you Sakura." Sakura felt tears stinging her eyes, "Aishiteru Syao-kun."
Before anyone could do anything, his lips bent down to capture hers. She felt the soft impact on his kiss and wrapped her arms around his neck aching for more. He slowly untied her kimono and placed her gently on the bed. He kissed her soft tender neck and looked lovingly into his eyes. Sakura's eyes held happiness, and love. She gave him a soft nod, urging him to go on, giving him permission even. He touched her hair softly, "This is going to hurt," he told her gently.
Sakura looked at him and smiled at him, "It doesn't matter, as long as I'm with you as one." Syaoran's heart started beating quickly, he wanted to give her everything he could. He slowly tore off all his clothing as she laid there ready for him to enter her. He kissed her tenderly before slowly entering her. She moaned as she felt him entering her, the warmth enveloping them both.
The moon lit the dimly lit room. Sakura laid on her bed, sweat falling from her small face. She used her hands to place the hair out of his face, "You were fantastic," she said softly. Syaoran smiled and wrapped his arms around her, "I love you so much Sakura." Sakura nodded into his chest, "I love you too." They heard the sound of a car door locking and Sakura quickly jumped out of bed, "Hurry change!"
Miaka opened the door to the house, "Onee-ch…" but she stopped midway seeing another pair of shoes. She giggled silently, 'Probably taking her right now.' She quickly tiptoed away before her parents noticed. She bombarded up the stairs and opened the door revealing two fully dressed teenagers.
"Mia! You could've at least knocked!" Sakura yelled at her younger sister. Miaka looked at the two suspiciously, "And what have you two been doing." Syaoran looked at her, "Nothing." "Nothing?" Miaka questioned looking at them straight in the eyes. Sakura and Syaoran both blushed at the same time. Miaka giggled realising what had happened. She smiled to the couple, "Don't worry, I won't tell mom and dad!" She swiftly went out of the room and closed the door.
Sakura let out her breath. "Thank god, I was so scared," Sakura said softly. Syaoran nodded, "I know what you mean." Sakura looked at him lovingly, "Let's make a promise." "A promise?" Syaoran asked. Sakura nodded, taking his right hand with her left, "Just repeat after me."
Like the stars shining in the sky,
Our feelings won't disappear,
Even if our hands become separated,
The two of us won't ever forget this.
The next few days a lot had happened. Miaka continued to call Syaoran Onii-chan since the couple's relationship continued to grow. Tomoyo's swimming career started to drop. Her swimming skills were dropping. Sakura and Syaoran had almost been dating for two months now. It had been a month since that special night. The two were to meet on the subway today on their anniversary. They didn't have school today so Syaoran decided to buy some stuff downtown.
"Oh god I'm going to be late!" he yelled out while walking out of the store. In his hands was a beautifully wrapped bag. It contained the book Mayauru no Okurimono, the book of their meeting. Also the picture they had taken that night at the festival. And a pamphlet containing information on the marks you need to attend Tomoeda College. Syaoran chuckled to himself, Sakura will be so happy to see this she won't have time to be angry.
He hurried down the streets when he heard his name being called. He turned around noticing the ebony hair beauty. She smiled sweetly at him; "Can you do me a favour?" Syaoran looked at his watch, he could spare a few minutes, "Sure." Tomoyo's whole face brightened, "Today's my birthday, can you get me a gift?" Syaoran looked at her, "Really, I didn't know! Gomen maybe I should call Sakura and we can…" Tomoyo shook her head, "No, no it's okay, I just want a gift."
Syaoran nodded and led her to the shops by the sides, "See anything you like?" Tomoyo gazed around while Syaoran restlessly looked at his watch. Tomoyo looked at him sadly, "You know if you're busy we can do this some other time." Syaoran shook his head stubbornly, "No, no today's your birthday choose anything you want." Tomoyo smiled and picked up a silver ring with a single lavender in the middle I want this. Syaoran looked at her, "Are you sure?"
Tomoyo placed it down, "Never mind," and she continued looking. Syaoran chuckled and handed the cashier the ring, "I'll take this." Tomoyo looked at him weirdly, "I thought u didn't like it?" Syaoran shrugged his shoulders, "Better than getting you something you didn't want." Tomoyo smiled sweetly and opened her mouth to say something when Syaoran cursed.
"Shit! I have to go I'm already really late, bye!" Tomoyo watched as he ran off, placing the ring on her finger.
Syaoran arrived at the subway station. He noticed that there were siren noises. He slowly walked toward the noises. People were crowding around an area by the back. Suddenly his heart started beating rapidly. That was where he had told Sakura to meet him. Maybe she had already left since he was already an hour late. But suddenly the memory of the festival came back at him. Sakura had waited two hours for him to show. He quickly rushed towards the crowds.
He didn't care if he were pushing people aside; he had to know if she was okay. "Sakura! Sakura!" he screamed out frantically. "She was so young," he heard an old woman comment. "She was standing there, looking like she was waiting for someone," the man beside her answered back. Syaoran ran faster, scared of what he might see. Lying there in the scene was a broken vending machine and than there was a single ribbon. A light pink ribbon. Suddenly it struck him hard, it was the ribbon that Sakura always wore.
He stared at the blood surrounding the place. He frantically screamed out her name, maybe it was all a misunderstanding. He noticed an officer step forward; "We found her id. She is a student from Tomoeda High, grade 11, name, Kinomoto Sakura."
Once those words escaped the man's mouth Syaoran froze. He couldn't move, couldn't think, couldn't do anything. He watched as the police pushed everyone away but he didn't move, it was Sakura.
