And now without any interruption, chapter 9 for 'In a Blink of an Eye"
Present… (remember, Sakura and Syaoran are still telling the story)
"Mommy, is this why we are now living in Hong Kong now instead of Tokyo? Because at first, you were mad at daddy?" Xiaohu asked, looking at his Sakura. How on earth could his parents be mad at each other? They were always smiling ever since he could remember. He knew they both loved each other, even though he was barely 6 years old.
"At first mommy needed some time to be just with you and leave daddy with his own thoughts." Sakura said, not waiting her little boy to find out the truth so much. After all, he was just a kid, he didn't need to know what really happened.
"Are we ever going to back to Tokyo to live again?" Xiaohu asked again, making Syaoran smile, seeing how interested his eldest son was. He loved his family more than anything else and he would never trade them for anything else in the world.
"Not anytime soon…" Sakura said, making Syaoran pleased with what he heard. He looked at his loving wife and didn't know what he did to deserve an angel like her.
"Come on, let's listen to what happened next. It's getting good…" Jamie said, making all the grown up sit back up again after that little chat Sakura and Xiaohu had with each other.
"Alright, let's see… oh yea… well after we reached Kyoto we had to change planes and…"
"Sakura… Sakura…" Syaoran gently said, tapping her cheek softly to wake her up. They were going to land soon at Kyoto to switch planes, and Sakura needed to buckle up now. "Five more minutes." Sakura mumbled, burying her head deeper into Syaoran manly chest if that was possible.
"You can sleep later again honey, we need to buckle you up. We're going to land." Syaoran said smoothly. Inside, Sakura heart began to turn into mush hearing Syaoran call her 'honey'. Slowly, her emerald eyes began to open as she looked around and saw the people she was sitting with for the last few hours.
All of a sudden, the light that signaled for their seat beats lit up and caught everyone's attention. Sakura looked around for her seat belt, but quickly felt Syaoran's hands over hers. She looked at him and met his burning amber eyes that hid something from her and she wanted to know what it was. "Allow me." Syaoran said, bending down a little to reach over to the other part of the belt and he gently latched the two belts together and made sure it was too tight yet not too lose on her. He could still smell the fragrance that always lingered around her.
"Thank you…" Sakura said shyly, as Syaoran got back in place and did his own before he took her hand in his. She looked down at their hands and felt chills going up her body seeing how romantic Syaoran really was. She was really falling for him badly and hard. She just hoped when she gives him her heart, he wouldn't throw it away.
'She's falling for it. It won't be long until she's mine completely and I will have her if it is the last thing I do.' Syaoran thought, as he looked at their hands latched together on the arm rest. His eyes slowly traveled up on her body, from her flat stomach, to her breasts, to her flawless face. His heart stopped for a second, when his so called good side took over for a few seconds. 'How can you think such cruel things to this innocent girl. Just using her like that as if she was a rag doll to be played and thrown around with.' He cursed silently, swearing to god that voice was like Eriol's.
"Eriol, is there something wrong?" Tomoyo as she saw the grit Eriol had on his face. Ever since she had woken up from her sleep, Eriol had been tense and a lot of things conjured up in his mind, but he wouldn't tell her what he was thinking about.
"Huh? It's nothing Tomoyo." Eriol said, lies coming out from his mouth as he looked at the couple in front of them through the slit of the chairs. His stomach was churning seeing the disgusted scene of Syaoran and Sakura together. How could Syaoran be so heartless and treat Sakura like that. And Sakura, why was she always so dense and naive? Couldn't she see through that play that Syaoran was acting up?
"Don't think look so cute together Eriol?" Tomoyo asked, hugging his arm and resting her head on his shoulder. See, he and Tomoyo were different. He had a crush on Tomoyo ever since he could remember. When he thought he couldn't have her, that's the only reason why he turned into a temporarily player, but he stopped when he realized the stupid mistake he had done. Now that he had Tomoyo, there was no way he would ever think about turning to that wild side of him ever again. Tomoyo was his life, and he was going to cherish her for the rest of his life, unlike some people who only used girls for his pleasure.
"Yea, cute…" Eriol said, glaring at the back of Syaoran's chair. If only looks could kill, Syaoran's seat would be on fire by now.
"Finally we got off the plane. I was getting cramps on my legs." Tomoyo cried out, as she ran around the air port like a little girl with Sakura hand in hand. They had gotten off their first plane and had an hour break before they had to get on their second plane. Eriol and Syaoran walked slowly in back of the girls, enjoying the cute sight they were seeing of the girls.
"Eriol, I'm hungry, can we get something to eat?" Tomoyo asked, making Eriol nod, smiling at how irresistible his girlfriend looked like when she was holding her stomach and pouting. "Yea, there's a hot dog place right there, let's go." Eriol said, pointing to the side, making everyone turn to that direction.
"Let's go!" Tomoyo cried out, taking Sakura's hand and dragging her all the way over to the store. "Calm down Tomoyo." Sakura laughed; in truth she was famished also and wanted something to eat and badly.
As they ran to the hot dog place, Sakura noticed a gift shop right next to it and was tempted go to in badly. Tomoyo let go of her hand as they arrived and the smell tickled their noises for them to go into the store. "Tomoyo, order for me, I'm going to go into the gift shop for a few minutes." Sakura said walking away. "Alright, come back soon." Tomoyo said, beginning to look at the menu that was up on top of the cashier surrounded by neon lights.
Sakura walked into the gift shop and was greeted by the security guard. She smiled back and walked inside, seeing all the souvenirs that were in here. She walked around, seeing all the t shirts, name plates, and statues on the shelves. "Everything is so pretty." She said to herself as she looked around and suddenly something caught her eyes near the cashier. She slowly walked over to it, afraid to knock anything down or else she would have to buy it.
Near the cashier, there was a display of color crystal statues in a display box. Everything was locked up so no one could steal it. Sakura looked up and down and saw all the cute little figurines of bears, ducks, and dogs. Suddenly, a little wolf on the side caught her eyes as she bend down a little and got a closer look at it. Sakura realized it was like a scene out of a movie; the wolf was on a base and right in back of the wolf was a cherry blossom tree with pedals on the floor. Sakura was amazed at what she saw and wanted it badly.
"Miss, do you need any help?" a lady appeared right next to her, making Sakura get up. "Yeah, can I see that please?" Sakura said, pointing to the wolf, making the girl nod and take the keys out of her pocket and open the lock to the door of the large box. Slowly, the girl took the figurine out of its place and placed it on the counter for Sakura to examine and touch.
"It's beautiful…" Sakura whispered out, making the lady nod right besides her. "How much is it?"
"Its worth quite a lot since it is made from real crystal and you see how eloquently the figurines are carved out. It's worth 1000 yens." The salesclerk said, making Sakura almost drop the statue when she heard the price. 'There goes my chance of ever buying it.' Sakura thought sadly, as she placed the ornament down.
"What are you looking at?" a masculine voice asked from behind her, as she quickly turned around and saw Syaoran looking down at her with questioning eyes.
"Oh… this just caught my eyes. It looks really beautiful doesn't it?" Sakura asked, showing Syaoran the little wolf.
"Yes, it sure is." Syaoran said, looking at Sakura; he knew she wanted this thing badly.
"Why are you here?" Sakura asked, as the saleslady place the statuette back away in the box.
"Oh, um… Eriol and Tomoyo ordered your food already. They're waiting for you." Syaoran said, looking back at the ornament. "You go back to them first, I'm going to look here for a while." Syaoran said, making Sakura nod, as she walked out of the gift shop and into hot dog store.
"I'll take that." Syaoran said, turning to the saleslady, making her shock and began to blush seeing how handsome he was. "Okay, do you want it wrapped?" the lady asked as she took the model out and walked over to the counter to find a box that would fit for it. "Yea…" Syaoran said easily as he took out his credit card.
"You must really love that girl." The saleslady said, catching Syaoran's attention. "What do you mean by that?" he asked, raising a brow. "Well, you see that she really like this ornament and instantly you buy it for her. You want to make her happy in any way you can. She's really lucky to have such a caring boyfriend like you. Most girls would do anything for a boyfriend like you." The lady said, as she carefully wrapped the box with a colorful wrapping paper.
"Yea well, she's really special to me." Syaoran said without thinking. 'Where did that come from?' he thought as he cursed himself in the mind.
'Girls would do anything to get into bed with me, how come this girl is so different. It's like I'm the one who's chasing her, instead of her chasing me. What's wrong with me? Have I lost all my skills? I haven't been with someone for a month now… is Sakura really that important to me? Why do I constantly keep on thinking about Sakura? I know I want her, I lust her… but what else?' Syaoran thought to himself.
It scared him, this… what was it called? An emotion that was filling about all the lonely parts in his heart when he was with this girl. He never felt this way for someone before. Never had he told any girl he loved her and meant it. It was all pure bull shit to get them into bed. He knew these feelings for Sakura were not love; he knew that 100 percent, then why was he scared of this emotion? He couldn't say all he had for Sakura was lust, because deep down inside he cherished the ground she walked on.
"Sir, you can swipe your card now…" the lady said, snapping Syaoran out of his internal battle with himself.
"Huh? Oh, alright…" Syaoran said, swiping his card through the little black machine right in front of him. After a few seconds, the lady tore off the receipt and gave it to Syaoran. He quickly signed if and gave it back to the lady as he took the gift and left.
'Even the saleslady was checking you out and you didn't even check her out. You know she was a total babe. With a smooth talk with her and she'll be screaming you name out in bed. Why did I go for her?' Syaoran thought to himself as he placed the gift for Sakura in his bag he had carried with him out of the plane. 'Because you love Sakura. How dense are you Syaoran?' his other self yelled at him, making Syaoran shut his eyes tightly and stopped walking. Why was he talking to himself these few days? Was he having problems now?
"Syaoran, are you alright?" a feminine voice asked from behind him, as he looked up and saw the girl that was hunting his dreams for the past few days.
"I'm better now that you're here." Came his playboy response again, making Sakura instantly blush. "Stop being such a flirt!" Sakura cried out, making Syaoran smile a little.
"Did you get anything at the gift shop?" Sakura asked, as she made a daring move and held his hand in
hers, making Syaoran grasp quietly, but quickly regained his posture.
Syaoran was about to answer Sakura, when all of a sudden, Tomoyo and Eriol came out of a store and called them over. Sakura quickly let go of Syaoran's hand and ran over to Tomoyo to see what she had gotten. Just then, Syaoran noticed something dropped from Sakura, as she ran over to Tomoyo as she saw a shining item on the floor from where Sakura was standing a few seconds ago. He walked over to it quickly and bent down to pick it up. He realized it was that same bracelet he had given back to Sakura a few weeks ago. She had dropped it again?
"Sakura…" Syaoran called out, as Sakura and Tomoyo turned to him to see what he was going to say. Syaoran walked over to Sakura and held the bracelet right in front of her face, making Sakura's eyes widen. She quickly pulled up her sleeve only to see her arm was bare of a bracelet.
"Silly… how many times are you going to drop this bracelet?" Syaoran asked, as he gently clasped the bracelet back on Sakura's wrist.
"Thank you Syaoran. Again you found my bracelet. I don't know what I'll do without you." Sakura said thankfully, as she hugged Syaoran tightly before letting go. "You'll never have to." Syaoran sly reply floored her badly. "Ohhhhh… Sakura you are in trouble!" Tomoyo said, laughing at her best friend seeing how badly she was falling in love with this chestnut haired man.
"Guys… it's time to go back in line before the line starts getting longer." Eriol interrupted the outrageous love scene right in front of him.
"Eriol's right, let's go Sakura." Tomoyo said, making Sakura nod, as they both walked off together, leaving the guys behind them.
"If I had a barfbag, I'll use it right now…" Eriol said icily, looking at the guy whom used to be a guy with a good heart.
"You shut your high hole before I shut it for you Eriol. I told you once, and I'll tell you again… leave my fucking business with Sakura alone!" Syaoran argued back, with the same amount of detest in his voice like Eriol's.
"She's done nothing to you, why the fuck do you want to ruin her life?" Eriol asked bitterly, looking at Syaoran right in the eyes.
"What I do with her is none of your business. She's not you girl or your sister, so you have no right telling her who she can and can't date." Syaoran said with a smirk forming on her face.
"She's not yours yet either. You act like she's your girlfriend. Just you wait; I hope you and Sakura would get together. And I hope you will break her heart and you leave her." Eriol said, walking away from Syaoran, leaving him stunned.
"And why is that?" Syaoran inquired, wanting to know that this guy was thinking of.
"So you'll see what you're not going to have for the rest of your life." Eriol's cold, harsh words hit Syaoran, making his eyes widen.
Wow… finally I'm done writing this chapter. Yes, I know… this chapter was very boring. I'm sorry, I haven't been in the mood with writing these past few months. So much has been going on and it's just me trying to come up with everything now. I know this seems really fake. I mean, I'm making everything so mushy and seem like a fairy tale, I'm sorry if you think so too. Anyways… I'll try to continue writing soon. I'm sorry for taking so long to update and didn't make it your worth while with this crappy chapter. But please, continue to RR… until next time… ja!
