The Sound of Waves
"Look, Syaoran-kun!" Sakura exclaimed in obvious amazement at the endless blue that lay in front of them.
Syaoran smiled to himself and put a hand on her slender shoulder. "Yeah, it's pretty amazing…"
The latest world they were in happened to be an island surrounded by the bluest water one could ever pray to lay eyes upon. Sakura's gaze skimmed across the water's surface and then around the beach they stood upon. She turned to Syaoran and smiled, showing all her teeth.
"It's so beautiful! I've never seen anything like it!" She stopped rather abruptly and looked down, letting the smile fade from her face. "Not that I remember, that is."
Syaoran looked away. "We'll recover all your memories…I promise…"
She turned to him and smiled again, but it had lost much of its joy. "…The waves sound pretty…"
Syaoran closed his eyes and listened to the sighing of the waves as they ventured onto the shore and off again. Opening his eyes, he found Sakura sitting on the ground next to him. "Sit with me, Syaoran-kun…"
He looked at her a moment, not sure how to react to the request, but after a moment sat down next to her, rather closely, and listened to the waves swell onto the shore.
"It's so pretty…so soothing…" she murmured again and leaned against his side.
He tensed, but soon relaxed and put an arm loosely around her waist. "Yeah…it really is…"
They both sat in silence, listening to the waves, letting the salty ocean wind kiss their pale faces.
