-Good Nights le Good Mornings-
"Sakura, hello," an eerie voice sounded Sakura's closed mind, he then touched her cheek, and then he made his hand tremble to make Sakura anticipate to reality again,
"Huh? What happened? Where am I, who are you? And what the hell am I doing here?" Sakura blabbered questions as she soon escaped from her dreamy reverie,
"I don't know, you're at a party, I am Eriol and we are having a nice conversation a little while ago," he said, answering all the questions of Sakura,
"Oh, right!" Sakura then laughed, covering her laid absence of mind on the atmosphere,
Eriol raised an eyebrow, looking at her with his 'whatever' look, "uhuh," he said disbelievingly,
Sakura's laughter evolved to a giving in sigh, "sorry, just got another flashback on my head again," she looked at Eriol's face, and another sigh exploded from her mouth, "I know, I know, I cannot, no, I should not think about 'it' anymore… 'It' is over, but even thought 'it' is over, 'it' still remains lingering my mind and annoying me until I die," she said exasperated, almost said by a furious grandma finding out there were no more English tea inside the cupboard, (A/N – Seriously, my grandmother is totally like that, like this instance, she's calling me like hell, I'm typing here! Can't I get teenager space!)
"Could we just change the subject?" Eriol cut her down, though polite,
"No, let us reflect first," she said, indignantly, "now you are here, working for me" stressing the 'working for me', she flushed red, "let us just get this straight, I know I really have a knack meeting up with totally amusing coincidences, but please, promise me as I promise myself that we try not to get… well," she could not find any word fitting for that instance, "intimate again," her eyes twitched, unable to make her face look normal, "I mean you are my private secretary, and you know how more million relationships president x private secretaries make,"
Eriol merely nodded,
"This situation just got more out of control since you came here after Syaoran met up with me, I mean what… the… hell… is going… on… here?" she asked, but she perfectly knew Eriol did not know the answer too, how should he know? She just can't contain herself from all the frantic things happening around her, she just want to loosen up all her burden by asking other people questions without answers,
Eriol looked on his wristwatch, "it's getting late," he said, and it really was late, it was past twelve,
"How long have we been talking anyways?" Sakura asked amazed, she could not believe they spent a long, long time talking about their past… but it should really be talked that long probably, I mean, just look what love can do, destructible, chaotic, dramatic? What else? It was mixed feelings; Sakura has been experiencing that moments she sat before a living, blue-haired memory whom was Eriol, to top it all, Sakura did not know one single feeling she had, she was clueless, blinded by her own emotions, but what she really knew is that she should not go near him, even though Eriol was the assigned private secretary, she should not get to him emotionally, but… 'I don't know…' Sakur thought with such mystery in her voice, she didn't know what got into her mind that second,
"Sakura, are you okay?" his voice again, boomed her ears, a forlorn voice, she remembers Eriol,
'Wait, stop it, brain,' she thought annoyed by her flooding thoughts, "Yeah, don't worry about me, I think I'm just a little tired now,"
"Well, I think you should leave now," Eriol suggested, concerned, giving her a worried look, she remembers the same eyes the first time she got the bad idea she wanted to fall in love with Eriol, that eventually came true anyways, in her past… Oh, she shouldn't have thought about that, but then, it ended, and there was then the consequence, a consequence Sakura never liked, a forceful decision not to fall in love anymore for six years,
"I guess you're right," Sakura stood, and noticed she felt her whole body was heavy and full, 'I guess I ate a lot, oh well; this is a party isn't it? People can eat what they want to eat,' she thought, "Okay, byebye Eriol," she then took a distance off the table, and walked to the door, "don't even think about it," Sakura suddenly spoofed, and then took a look behind herself, it was Eriol,
Eriol sighed, "Whatever," he said and he quickly dashed out of the door, blushing,
"I knew this would happen, he couldn't just resist our past," she mumbled with glum, as she finally passed out of the door, "I wonder," she paused, and look at her reflection in a polished mirror sticking on the wall, "if I can't to…"
"Goodnight, madam, have a safe trip," the guard greeted goodbye to the elegant-looking woman as she strode down the porch… She would again walk to her house by foot, hoping she would not see another face of a distant past again, please,
---------------------
"HOW COULD YOU LEAVE ME?" an abandoned, doll-like voice flooded the front door as it popped out, Sakura getting inside, "you're so cruel to me," it voiced again, "you just left a few cookies, and an ultra small pudding on the fridge, how could you think they were enough for me?" it mourned loudly again with a banshee's wail,
"Would you quit shouting and just come here and talk to me with a decent voice? You are making my night more annoying," Sakura snapped as she threw herself in a very comfy throw pillow filled sofa, hiding her face behind a pillow,
A flying yellow stuff toy like creature then flew in front of her and looked at her with strange eyes, "Why? What happened?" he said concerned, "you rarely go home with an irritated state, did something happened during the party? I mean something bad? Or even worse?" he continued, but his voice suddenly changed to a deepish, seriousish tone that made Sakura laugh a little,
"Kero, would you please change form, I swear that voice does not fit you at all," she said, trying to stop the giggles,
Kero sighed a little, "If you say so, anything to help you, my mistress," he said with a sigh, and then a yellow glow formed on his skin, and then he became a fierce lion-like creature, "now then," he said again, though now with that handsome voice,
"I know you're not going to believe this but," Sakura stopped, and looked at him with stern eyes,
"But?" Cerberus asked impatiently,
"You know that Syaoran thing?" Sakura asked him, wanting Cerberus to immediately know the situation,
"You mean you decided to hook up with Syaoran a.k.a. brat again?" he asked not believing,
"Whoa! No, you a-hole!" she yelled with a snore (A/N – Can that even be possible, oh well, it is a fanfiction, and moreover a fictional story! Bwahahahaha)
Ceruberus didn't mind her; instead, he raised an eyebrow… He was always been given names, from a stupid stuff toy to a merciless, living puppet to a toy possessed by a haunted spirit, to a, evil Chuckie doll dressed up as a cute and cuddly stuff toy, to a lion male bitch, and now to an A-hole, what else? "Then what?"
Sakura sighed depressed, she didn't want to say it, but then she was living with the creature, and he was supposed to be her guardian or something, she knew he would insist she should tell him the whole situation forever, and ever, and ever, and ever, "You see," she took another heavy breath, "I think I'm going to sleep. I am so tired from the party, we had a lot of dancing, and then some talking, well, that was excessive, my tongue could've have been cut because of its exhaustion," she excused, but Cerubers roared and blocked her way,
"No, tell me first, then you can sleep," he yelled and gave her another roar, and to top it all, he gave her a fierce glare,
"Over my dead body," she negated, and then tried to run where it was free of Cerberus's blocking, but then the creature was too fast for her to surpass him,
"Uhuh, like you could pass me," he teased her, with a mocking laugh,
Sakura groaned, she wished she could use her power here, but she might instead wreck her own house, and make herself faint in exhaustion,
"Please tell me," Cerberus again said, trying to persuade the woman with his shiny eyes of pleading, and his cute though deep voice that really sounded funny,
Sakura looked at him in a glance, and then made herself fall in a little but comfy green couch just behind her, "okay, okay, fine," she sighed, "guess what," she then paused and then looked at him straightly, "another man from then popped out of the party," she looked at him and tried to hide her conceited glum and confusion, "guess who it is after a count of three,"
"1…"
"2…"
"3…"
They took a breath, and then the both sputtered the same name,
"Eriol," The two said in unison like they knew it for eternity,
"Whaaat?" Kero exclaimed, surprised, he did say Eriol, but he never thought he was really he,
"and you know what?" she paused, "he has a fiancé now," Sakura mentioned,
"Really?" Cerberus said, "May I ask if you can mention her name?"
"Sophia Tonnete Jacquelyn Lebraske IV" she said, with the correct way of pronouncing the name, strangely, she still remembers it, even if her name was so complicated,
"That is obviously a long name," he simply said, "I can't believe your ex did waste his time on memorizing such a name," he said again, a bit of sarcasm trailing his voice,
"Oh yes, I think he did waste his time, since that woman does not appreciate him at all," she said with a sigh, unnecessarily fixing her hair, and removing the top part of her dress, she didn't mind Cerberus looking at her since he was a lion and a stuff toy in one, why should she be embarrassed to present her in her bra? "I think all does she care about is his looks and his intellect, she doesn't care anything about him," she said, leaving Cerberus silent, not noticing she was already talking hurtfully if Jacquelyn was here in front of Sakura, "Now you know," Sakura whispered apathetically, and patted gently the shocked Cerberus in the forehead like a lapdog, "goodnight sweetie," she then said, and then she turned off the switch, and then ran off the stairs to her room, for once, she wanted to sleep for a whole week, but she thought that wouldn't be possible for work was heading her way tomorrow, which she thought would be more complicated than before, now Eriol was working for her. To think Nagasa was helping her, instead, the former president made it worse, emotionally that is,
-------------------
"Lyn, I'm home," Eriol shouted nicely as he unlocked the door of his house by his keys, but he was not expecting a warm welcome, the room was rich, and beautiful, pillows and a fireplace planted on some side, an intricate crystal chandelier hanging above the room, and candles everywhere, but opposite was that the room was sad, and dark, musk reining the atmosphere of the supposed-to-be-happy surroundings,
No reply returned his happy shout, and Eriol sighed again, walking to the bedroom. Their house was large, almost like a manor, even though Eriol was only a private secretary, and Lyn a model, they were to say rich,
"Where have you been?" a one-eyed ugly woman said, (joke!)
"Where have you been?" a ravishing woman asked furiously to Eriol, who sighed as he opened the door,
Eriol observed the lady, in her expensive velvet nightdress, her locks of hair properly in place even though it was nighttime, (A/N – You know, when it is really late, your hair tends to be messy and disorganized, it's really awesome to see someone with stylish, beautiful hair at 3:00 at the morning,) He caught her gaze, and then he was spooked by her suspicious glare and her judging raised eyebrows, "Didn't I say this morning I was going to work, and that there was this party I have to attend?" he said to her reply, he had a hard time saying it politely, that you can be sure of,
"Well, why were you so late?" she asked nastily, her glare getting more and more suspicious every time Eriol tried to answer politely as he could,
"It is a party, right? Party people tend to go home late," he announced, and then he sleekly moved towards Lyn, like a snake slithering, "and party people tend to go to bed with their fiancés," he whispered seductively, as he tried to get his hands landed gently on her soft shoulders,
But then Jacquelyn caught hold of Eriol's hands, and then moved it to him again, as if she was not even interested in him and his love, "I'm tired Eriol, let me go to sleep," she just said casually though their was a final tone on her voice,
Eriol groaned with a sigh, another night not having proof they loved each other, another night they even made pleasure to each other… oh well, another annoying night. He observed the woman go to the bed slowly like a slug, and then yawn impolitely, not even saying goodnight to him, his head almost fell down with hopelessness, why did he even wanted to marry her, in his heart, he just wanted to blow-up the whole matrimony idea, but he promised to marry her, even so she did not mind his love and all, she was only interested in his money and his diamond personality, none of which was his passion for her, or his importance for her, how dare her, damn her, fuck her… But then, it was not the way Eriol thought his relationship with Lyn would undergo from the start, he never did thought it would be something like this, a relationship loveless, and meaninglessness… And he never felt happy about it, despite the richness they have achieved, they were already living in a mansion-like house, but for him, what is important was the colors of his life, richness, but it was dull, no life, boring, not like Sakura, oh, how he wished Sakura instead was at his bed, but then it probably wouldn't come true, because something at the back of his mind, there was only Syaoran for Sakura,
No, Syaoran is different from you, Eriol, so you are not a replacement, I feel differently for Syaoran, and I feel differently for you too, Eriol… Nobody could replace Syaoran, but then, but then, I was born to love, without loving someone, or without being loved by someone, I am just nothing, a dead soul that could do nothing, a speck of dust just blown by the careless wind, and that is my weakness,
Sakura's voice traveled through his brain, her spooky sort of voice filling Eriol's brain, as he stood there, making himself crazy, just watching his sleeping fiancé. He shivered as the misty voice left his mind, and then he found strength to sleep, he was so tired, and then he sighed again, 'I think I'll just get dressed up tomorrow morning,' he thought carelessly, not mind his undershirt and his boxers, and he went to his side of the bed, but then he stopped, and stood up again, and gazed sincerely to the beautiful woman sleeping, she was so cute when she sleeps, but then, when she awakes, she was like the witch of the west, however, at that second, Eriol did not care, and he gently laid a kiss on her forehead, and brush his faulty hand on her brown hair, "Sweet dreams, sweetheart," he whispered romantically, talking to the unconscious woman, though he knew she was asleep, and moreover his romance might not be returned back…
He sighed, and then he finally turned off the lights, and jumped to bed, trying to blind himself from the harsh realities of his past and his present, and his possible futures,
------------------
A shadow opened his suite from outside, and then turned on the lights, only to reveal a borrowed luxury from a friend, a very close friend… perhaps,
"So," Some little girl-like voice spoofed behind the man, Syaoran, and he sighed. A blue kid sprite then popped beside him, "what happened?" she asked, leaning on his shoulder, He looked at his right, where she was, raising an eyebrow,
"Uhuh, whatever, you mean you didn't have the wit and the bitchy spirit in you to watch us dance? Your kidding, right?" he said, not believing Mirror's swear that she left them alone in privacy,
"Li, I'm not dumb, of course I have to leave you, Sakura could sense me anyways, and besides I'm not that evil as you think of," she mumbled, and then she playfully spinned around his body as he walked beside the bed, and quickly got off the tuxedo,
"Do you know how much I am uncomfortable to silk? I wonder why Sakura even wasted her time forcing me to this clothes," slowly undressing his undershirt, not minding Mirror,
"Which by the way, you wore eventually," she butted, "Sakura just wants to help you, and you send her helping hand away, you are so proud of yourself, and that pride is just meddling your way to get in love with her again,"
"Mirror, I won't get in love with her, and she won't get in love with me? I left her! Remember? It was the most fatal mistake I have ever done. Now, those memories won't get erased, and I know very much Sakura won't have another intimate relationship again," Syaoran said, his voice like a car trailing on a mountain,
'Oh, but she does, if only Eriol won't disturb her, she knows she loves Li, and only him, no one else, but I won't say it to you dear Li, I am only something that can help indirectly, only to guide, as I have promised to my former master, Clowreed,' Mirror thought secretly "Mind if I do something?" Mirror suddenly asked, trying to conceal the voice of a prankster, she was feeling she wanted to tease him until he goes bullshit,
"What?" he said, not noticing her mischief,
She then transformed to a clone of Sakura only in a thong and in a bra, not within a second, almost as if in a millisecond, a total scream of shock enveloped the room, having potential it could bring forth the destruction of tomorrow,
"Idiot! Bitch! Slut! Hag! Demon!" he voiced out, calling her thousand of names, and then he heard the muffled, naughty giggles of the spirit, spinning again around his body, as if he was trying to tie him and strangled him to death with her formless wisp, "you are so evil, Mirror, I jut want you to stop bugging me," he sighed, his shock finally wiped off his whole body,
The clone then became liquid and then formed into the little girl holding a Japanese mirror again "Well, that is my job as a card doesn't it, bugging the balance of anything, bwahahahaha!" she nastily retorted, as she continued to spin, "when will you go to sleep anyways?"
"After you get bored of talking to me," he quickly said, not leaving space for silence,
"Well, that would never happen," with the same quickness, as she continued to annoyingly spin around him, even though he was naked, and only his boxers was the garments he wore, Mirror didn't care, "that would only happen when Mistress Sakura tells me to stop, heh… heh… heh…" she laughed mischievously,
"Well, goodnight, I'm pooped," he said, as he ran to the switch, and the room became pit black, only the light of the moonbeam, shining through the windows. He hid on the blankets, and grabbed all the pillows to sleep with, noticing how silent was Mirror suddenly, "Mirror?" he asked, softly, expecting Mirror was already at sleep,
"Yeah?" she surprisingly replied,
"Does Sakura really love me?" Syaoran asked, blushing, 'I can't believe I asked her that,'
"I won't tell you," she whispered back, looking at his annoyed expression,
"MAN! Why are you supposed to be this annoying?" he asked exasperated and piqued,
Mirror ignored his comment, but she opened her mouth again, with a giggle, "but Li, I can tell you, Sakura cares for you," she whispered again, "I mean, she danced with you, isn't that something?"
Syaoran felt there was a tingle in his forehead, like a kiss or something close to that, but strangely, he didn't mind the sensation of a kiss right at that present, 'yeah, whatever,' he apathetically thought, 'what is dancing really mean?' he thought again with a sigh. 'Hey! I danced with the mega rich and famous Sakura! So what?' he thought sarcastically, with a mental giggle, 'argh, I have to get to sleep somehow,' he thought again, "'night Mirror, and please, no disturbing noise,"
"Goodnight Li," she big, surprisingly obliging to Syaoran's request,
-------------------
"Oh, shoot," Sakura yelled, making the house shiver, it was early in the morning, and she was just running down the stairs, and preparing toast, and running up again to the bathroom,
"What's shoot?" Kero said flying and whizzing towards the rushing Sakura, "can you be a little gracefull when when waking up, err… you're a woman after all," he said, yawning then as he got in front of her face,
"I forgot to tell Eriol what time does he have to be at work," she said, slamming her clothes everywhere, and then leaping to the beanie surfaced bathtub, and covering herself with the err… cloth that blocks the bathing area (A/N – You know the linen thingy beside the bathtub, that's it!)
"Uhm, So?" Kero asked, not getting the whole 'shoot' idea,
"So, I have to get there earlier, I don't want to get ashamed of myself later on!" Sakura said, splattering orangey goo-like shampoo on her head, and furiously rubbing it to her hair, making deal that it should be perfectly clean and fragrant,
"But you're going to cook food aren't you?" Kero asked, hoping for an answer of yes,
Her head popped out, frowning at Kero, "don't be silly, I have to go there as soon as possible!" she said, and then continued on shampooing her hair, then soaping her body,
"Oh come on, you've been making me food for like, forever, well, except yesterday, just please, as an apology for me from yesterday?" he asked nicely, his eyes fidgeting, almost getting teary,
"Let me pretend I care," she nicely said, then she left a five-second moment of silence, "pretending over, NO!" she snapped, getting out of the bathtub, magically, she smelled divine,
"At least you could make sweet card make me food for the whole day?" he asked again hopefully, and thoughtfully,
"No! Ugh, Never! Remember that time I did that, it almost made my home a gingerbread house! No, forget it Kero," she said, as she ran to her bedroom, and to her closet, and literally spun a very thick, towel-looking cloth into her body, and pinned it with a very stylish pin with a flower design,
"Ahh, you're going to wear that? You look so sexy, who're you going to impress? Syaoran or Eriol?" he asked innocently, but Sakura knew it was covering a sarcastic, nasty tone,
Automatically, she blushed, "you know," she said, piqued, "I have no time like this, bye, no food today, that's your punishment," she said finally, stomping her feet in rage as she got down the stairs, and banging the door, leaving Kero silent, and down, funny fat tears crawling down his yellow cheeks, "and don't dare destroy my house, or I'll destroy you!" she shouted, her voice was perfectly heard, even if she was outside, and Kero was on the second floor,
Kero sighed, "awell, another grueling day of complete, merciless starvation," he said sadly, planning to clean the house instead, maybe Sakura won't do that terrible thing if he would clean her room, then the kitchen, then the bathroom, then the living room.
-------------------
SyAoRan's POV
"Oh damn, where am I?" I stood, seeing nothing but raven black scene. Were my eyes painted black? Forget it, where am I? "Wait, I think this is a dream?" I asked myself, pinching my cheek softly, "Yeah, it is a dream," I finally said, sighing
"Syaoran? Are you Syaoran?" Someone's voice echoed through my ear, a voice misty, but I could visualize the voice to a human being… Yes, brown hair, green eyes, heavenly smile… it only meant one person, or one woman perhaps… Sakura Kinomoto,
"Yes," I said, wide-eyed, "and let me ask why are you here… in my dream?" I continued to ask, controlling myself not to ask her, and then let her faint, and then not able to talk to her again, at least in my dream, well, it was certainly her… I knew that smile, and those mystical eyes you never seem to forget… For me, when staring at her, and I imagine only us were in the universe, nobody existed, nobody lived to interrupt my desired loving, or supposed my wish she would love me, again…
"Well, I just want to tell you something," the stunning woman said shyly,
I gulped nervously, okay, she was going to tell me something, but what is what? "Uhhh," I spoke, trying to excuse my speechlessness,
"Ahh, just listen, you don't need to say anything, but perhaps, I should," she said, making a hand signal to stop me from saying anything, getting nearer him, slowly, nearer, slowly, nearer, slowly, nearer…
I looked at Sakura, who was getting nearer me, as she stepped with her feet towards me, every five seconds of suspense and hard breathing,
"I know it's not the right time to say you this," she said, looking away from me, her eyes in embarrassment, "well, don't let someone deceive you, if you want to have your happy ending," she said, I don't know if it was a whisper, or a shout, "…with me,"
"Someone? Who?" I asked. And… with you? What do you mean with you?
I don't know, but something tells me, she talked about our broken relationship, wait… is it really the thing she talks about now?
Sakura shook her head, "no, I won't tell you, but you have to get it what I'm saying now soon," she said, then she touched my hand, and I could feel her flesh, her royal, wonderful blood gushing on her nerves hidden on that flesh, but one thing I've noticed, is that, hers was cold, and mine was incredibly hot, "don't forget, that you are only you, and nothing could replace you, for there is only one Li Syaoran in the whole world,"
"Wha— what are you talking about?" I said, already lost, confused… Why did she even said that I'm only me, and nothing else can be me… what the HELL is she saying? And, more importantly, what for? "Sakura, I really can't get you," I said slowly, hoping she could absorb what I have said,
She suddenly smiled at me thinly, and then I could feel her hands slipping on mine. I looked at her, looking at her beautiful smile, that could transcend death, perhaps, I thought, everything was not needed, if you would own and literally embrace that smile forever, everything equal to her face, to her body… I would sell everything just for that smile, and here it was, in my dream…
Finally, she walked back slowly, and me in utter regret I didn't clutch her hands or do something not to make her leave this dream, for only with her, I wished this dream would never end… Forget suicide, forget death, forget money, forget karma, forget bad luck, forget Yelan, fprget everything, but her and only her I would remember…
She departed from my touch, then a strem of fluid got out of her eyes… Can we cry at our dreams, probably now, I would believe we can… since there was a woman crying in front of me, in my dream… "Sakura…" I whispered, trying to push back the tears screaming to get out of my eyeballs…
"Syaoran!" she surprisingly shouted, her voice echoed, the nothingness like a cave… and then she threw her arms at me, I could fling back, rejecting her touch, but then, my feet were like glued on the black floor, my body and conscience told me to hug her back… I don't know, we were exes, former lovers that broke-up sadly, and now, we were hugging, for the last SIX years we weren't hugging each other like this… I don't know, what the hell happened, but this after all is a dream,
"Oh Sakura…" I whispered, taking her close to me,
"I… I love you… I love you still…" she whispered, and then, she moved her left a hand to my blushing cheek, and then automatically, like a puppeteer was controlling me… I grasped her chin, and she held it, like she was stopping it,
"Wha— why?" I said, why did she bother to stop me?
"No, we can't do this on a dream," she said, laughing, then she stopped… I looked at her silently, blankly, "… but, Syaoran?"
"Yup?" I instantly replied questioningly, gazing at her directly,
She breathed then at me, a breath with no feel, then I felt her body became lighter, like wind… "…never forget what I have said, you are only you, and Syaoran… I… love you… still…" she whispered,
I opened my mouth to reply her I-love-you's and planned to tighten our entwinement, but before I could say or do anything, her wholeness became smoke, and her weight light and inexistent, and only the coldness of hers, and my warmness left my body… and then I closed my eyes… the darkness enveloping my body, in my blind state…
Narrator's POV
"Uhhhh… Ahh…" Syaoran moaned, it was morning, in his bed. He rolled to the side, his feet dragging the blankets to side to. He opened his eyes, and the bright morning sun flashed on the window of the suite he was renting, or rather Sakura was renting,
'What happened?' He thought for a few moments, remembering his dream, fragmenting it to one whole, understandable picture, "Ughh," he suddenly said, as he looked on his member… it was sprang up… "Certainly, that kissing really turned me on…" he mumbled again, trying to untangle the blankets from his feet, "Why did she hell show up in my dream?" he asked, much more loudly, assuming Mirror has something to do with the Sakura-in-the-dream topic, "Mirror!" he shouted accusingly,
"What?" she replied, and then she popped out from thin air, and then she looked at him innocently, and child-like, but Syaoran tried enough not to get deceived by her, even though she was not even deceiving Syaoran,
"I assume you've got to do something about my—"
"Dream?" Mirror replied, with a matching voice to her innocent face,
Syaoran raised an eyebrow, "Yes, my dream," he said, lightly pointing out Mirror made that dream,
"so are you pointing out I somehow did that dream?"
He nodded,
"Well, Li, can a mirror make dreams? No, so then, it is right to say I didn't make that dream," she said calmly, not throwing him back some indignant voice,
Syaoran sighed, 'awell,' he thought
"But I could share that dream," she suddenly stated, and then she went nearer to him, and he predicted she was going to spin again around and around and around him, "well, come on now, or else I won't stop spinning around you," she threatened though nicely, an evil, dominant grin on her face, and Syaoran menacingly groaned, it seemed like he couldn't compete with Mirror Card's insistence,

A/N – I know it's been quite a while (one week) I didn't update the story, since it was holy week, you know, Lenten season, and I was at somewhere, too bad I can't say exactly where, but I could tell you, it is very, very, very far away from our house, and I was tempted and eventually decided not to write the whole week, forget CCS, forget words, forget internet, forget deadlines, so I just finished the 9th chapter, hope you like it,
Sadly, I have to break writing until April 5 or so probably my updating speed would be a lot slower until April 5. The reason is that I would be hanging out at U.K. for a week or two then go back here in the Philippines at April 5, 6 or 7.
I would be staying at Mayfair, and I'm really excited, bwahahaha! And so, my journey as a young teenager continues…
Well, Avoir, and I promise I won't abandon writing more than two weeks!
Tata!
