Forbidden
Chapter Eight: Misunderstanding

Syaoran stopped, no longer able to hear the sounds of the goblins rushing after him.

Or Sakura.

He turned. "Sakura?"

She wasn't there. She wasn't at his side, running after him.

Where is she? He thought, his feet carrying him back down the path he'd run down. Did…the goblins get her?

If they did, he wouldn't be able to forgive himself. If she hated it in the pixie city, then she'd really hate it in the goblin's homes.

He ran faster through the dark trees, the moonlight his only source of sight, his almond eyes searching frantically for the fairy girl.

"Sakura!" He shouted, cocking his ear, hoping to hear her voice among the trees.

But her voice never came.

The forest was deathly silent.

Syaoran sighed, sitting down on a nearby log.

Suddenly, his eyes caught something.

A creamy piece of cloth, the moon reflecting off it. The cloth from Sakura's dress.

Syaoran looked around him for a sign of the girl, when he saw it.

A lake.

To a human it would just be a large patch of water, but to people pixie and fairy size, it was a huge lake.

Could fairies swim?

Syaoran didn't give it a second thought. He dove into the water, icy pins instantly rushing across his skin. He had been a swimmer since he was young, and was, obviously, very good at it.

He hovered in the water, his eyes scanning the dark water for the faintest sight of Sakura.

Then he spotted her.

With a gasp Syaoran rose to the surface, took a breath, and dove back down.

Sakura was floating close to the bottom, her auburn hair floating around her like a cloud, her eyes closed. She looked supernatural, with the moon illuminating her body.

He swam as fast as he could towards the fairy, his arm circling her waist tightly.

With one kick he rose to the surface, his arm tightly around Sakura. He swam to shore, but Sakura didn't wake up.

Please be okay. he thought, dragging her onto shore, exhausted.

He turned Sakura onto her back, she still wasn't awake.

"No…" Syaoran sighed, brushing some hair from her face.

She is going to kill me for this… Syaoran thought, kneeling beside her, pinching her nose with one hand and tilting her chin with the other.

Here goes nothing. He brought his lips to hers, his eyes closed, praying. He blew air into her mouth, taking his lips from hers and looking down at her chest. Still not moving.

"I am so, so dead." Syaoran shook his head. Sakura would be pissed when she woke up.

Syaoran pressed his lips against hers again and again.

Finally, Sakura's eyes fluttered open and she started to cough.

Syaoran quickly backed away from her, trying to look as if he hadn't been doing anything.

Sakura sat up, her hand covering her mouth, coughing violently, her eyes closed.

"Are you…okay?" Syaoran asked hesitantly.

Sakura nodded, her eyes opening. She stopped coughing. "I am."

Syaoran smiled faintly, his cheeks were flaring. He was thankful for the darkness of the moon.

"Um…Syaoran?" Sakura said suddenly.

Syaoran looked up. "What?"

"Why were you…kissing me?"

Syaoran's eyes went wide, his whole face turning bright red. "I-I wasn't k-kissing you!"

Sakura shot him a look. "I woke up, I know what I saw. Well…felt."

"I was n-not kissing you!" Syaoran growled. "You almost drowned! You weren't breathing I had to do something! L-Like I'd ever kiss you anyway, you're a fairy!"

Sakura glared at him, really glared at him. "Fine!"

Syaoran looked away from her, his cheeks still on fire, his arms folded stubbornly across his chest. "The goblins are gone."

"Good." Sakura said stiffly, refusing to look at him, too. "Can we go back to the city yet?"

"Not yet." Syaoran said.

"Can I have my wings untied?" Sakura asked.

Syaoran thought for a moment. "Sure, why not?" It's not like she could fly away…she's still too wet, not to mention her wings would be stiff.

Sakura turned her back to him and Syaoran knelt behind her, taking his dagger from his boot, pressing the blade to the rope around her wings.

But he didn't cut it.

He was mesmerized by the brilliant color to her wings; gold with a green shine, and how they just sprouted from between her shoulder blades.

He also noticed how low her dress went in the back.

He swallowed and cut the rope.

Sakura sighed, her wings unfolding themselves.

But no sooner had she done that, did she wince and fold her wings back against her back.

"What's wrong?" Syaoran asked.

"They're stiff." Sakura smiled sheepishly. "I can't fly yet."

"Well you wouldn't fly anyways." Syaoran said, getting to his feet, Sakura following after him. "You're still my prisoner, remember?"

Sakura smirked, walking past him. "Do you normally kiss your prisoners?"

Syaoran growled. "I did not kiss you!"

"Sure Li, sure."

He growled and lashed out, grabbing her arm, pulling her back against him.

Where he promptly pressed his lips against hers.

It had been tempting, before, when he'd been closer to her, but now that she'd challenged him, he had free range.

And he didn't regret it, not one bit.

He pulled away from her, both their breaths coming in short gasps.

"If I wanted to kiss you, I would have done that." He smirked.

She stared up at him, blushing furiously. "You are such…a jerk."

"Then why'd you kiss me back?"

When her face had turned even redder, Syaoran knew that he was right, and he hadn't been dreaming when he'd felt the fairy kiss him back.

"I-I didn't." She stammered.

"Sure Sakura, sure." Syaoran mocked.

She glared at him. "You insensitive-"

But her words were cut off when Syaoran leaned forward and caught her mouth in his, again.

This is wrong. Syaoran thought as he instinctively wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her small frame against him. It's forbidden. But…it feels so right…and I want it.

He felt her arms wrap around his neck tightly as she pulled herself closer to him, enjoying the feeling of his lips on hers.

He parted her mouth with him, sliding is tongue into her mouth, exploring her, taking in her full taste.

I…I love a fairy. Syaoran thought as he pressed her against a nearby tree. I love…Sakura.

Just as Syaoran began to kiss her passionately, with all he had, his hand sliding up her thigh and under the hem of her dress, Sakura pulled away.

"We should get back."

Syaoran sighed and nodded. "Yeah."

Damn it.

XxXxX

Tomoyo frowned, her arms folded across her chest. She was standing outside the palace gates, staring out at the fairy city, cast in a dim shadow under the moonlight.

"Tomoyo?" Eriol said, walking up behind her. "What are you doing out here?"

"Just…thinking." Tomoyo said softly, the wind tugging at her hair, her gray eyes sad.

Eriol smiled and wrapped his arm around her waist, hugging her against his chest. "Don't worry about Sakura, Tomoyo. She's a strong girl, I'm sure she's fine."

"I know." Tomoyo said sadly. "But I still can't help but wonder what's happening to her. I mean…she's just one fairy in that city of thousands of pixies."

Eriol sighed and kissed her cheek softly. "I know, I know. I think about that often, too. But I truly think that Sakura will be okay."

"But what if she went and did something stupid like…I don't know…fall in love with a pixie?"

Eriol laughed. "What gave you that idea?"

Tomoyo shrugged. "I don't know. I mean…that Syaoran, he was handsome, same with his friend. And you never know. I mean, she's been there for two weeks, if she were dead don't you think they'd tell us in some way."

Eriol nodded. It was true. Normally if the pixies killed one of their kind, they'd send the corpse to the city by bird or something.

But the thought of Sakura falling in love with a pixie? That was impossible.

"She'd never do that Tomoyo." Eriol said. "She hates them, remember? Ever since they killed her parents…I just can't see her falling for on."

Tomoyo smiled faintly. "I guess. But…what if?"

"Well, if," Eriol sighed. "That wouldn't really be acceptable, in either our city or the pixie's. I mean, we're enemies, and Queen Yelan would never let anyone in her kingdom to marry or…whatever, a fairy. And I know my parent's wouldn't either."

"What about you?" Tomoyo asked. "Would you allow a pixie and a fairy to marry?"

Eriol shrugged. "I really wouldn't care. Why do you ask?"

Tomoyo sighed, leaning against his chest. "I've just noticed…but Zachary has been spending a lot of time in the dungeon with that pixie, Rika."

Okay hope you liked the fluffiness! Review!
