Worthy Love

Chapter 13:

---------------------------------------------------------

Sakura felt her heart gallop. It felt like it was going to jump right out of her chest. She was sure the hard thumping of her heart was both audible and visible.

She felt some strands of auburn hair tickle her cheeks softly as his warm rapid breaths came ever closer.

---------------------------------------------------------

Syaoran slowly advanced, studying her structure and beauty as if she was a fallen angel. Her white smooth complex made his heart beat forever faster as he neared her, able to feel her body heat. Her breaths came out quicker as she closed her shiny emerald eyes. A smile tugged at the corner of his lips as she leaned back a ways, perfect for him to lean in.

Syaoran placed his right hand near her head as he leaned in, supporting the weight of his body. He studied her lips, licking his own. Her natural glossy lips were pink and full. A slight blush covered her strong cheek bones as the cold crispiness of the wind blew against them.

Leaning in, Syaoran lowered his lids, covering his amber orbs from view. Lips met lips as Syaoran softly brushed his against hers. The soft smoothness of them took away his thoughts the moment they touched as he tasted the sweetness of her cherry blossom lips.

He felt gentle slender arms wrap around his neck, her long fingered hands grasping his messing chestnut hair, ruffling it even more.

Syaoran slipped his left hand around her back as he lightly leaned against her small, slender frame.

He broke away from her to take a few more kisses, gasping as breathlessly as she was. They're gaze met, never leaving one another as they stood there motionless in the star and moon lit sky. The beauty of the dark night sky reflected in Sakura's emerald eyes as Syaoran stared lovingly into them, never taking his eyes away.

A smile slowly revealed itself upon her lips when they had finally regained their normal breathing.

Syaoran smiled back as he watched her take a step toward him, closing the tiny space between their figures. She reached up and rested both her arms on his strong, squared shoulders, pulling him into yet another kiss.

Slowly, he gave up to the sweet oblivion of her kiss.

Only, that's only what he wish he had done as he heard himself say calmly, "You've got a feather in your hair." As he reached behind her ear and produced a tiny stainless white feather. The silky smoothness of Sakura's auburn strands brushed lightly against his fingers, leaving a tingling feeling as he pulled the small feather away to show her evidence.

---------------------------------------------------------

Sakura's eyes flew open when she heard what he said. She looked at the white fluffiness of the feather in front of her. The fragile item stood out plainly, it's color contrasting the two fingers.

A rush of heat soared across her cheeks as she realized what had happened. The blush darkened as she remembered what she thought was going to happened didn't happen.

Sakura silently thanked the moon and stars as their light winked out from an oncoming cloud.

She smiled pleasantly, trying to make it look like nothing had happened. "Thanks." She said as she took the feather from him and pushed her weightless form off the tree.

Ducking to the right, she walked past him and back into the open field. Just then, the shiny light from the stars and moon decided to show itself from behind the cloud as Sakura turned around to face Syaoran. Placing her hands behind her back, she revealed another grin, this one the truer and joyful smile.

---------------------------------------------------------

Syaoran watched Sakura gracefully walked past him and into the open. As she turned around, soft light from the stars and moon shone brightly upon her, making her seem like an angel. She turned to face him and revealed the most beautiful smile he had ever seen. The carefree and happy smile that said they were content that he longed to have on his own lips.

The smile of the green eyed angel took his breath away.

---------------------------------------------------------

Sakura rushed back to the inn, leaving a breathless Syaoran standing under the tree. Once near the inn, she turned back to the darkness of the forest, a light smile clear upon her visage.

Sakura felt another rush of heat travel through her cheeks as she thought of what almost happened. She opened her grip on the tiny white feather as she gazed down at it. Taking a deep breath, she clutched it tightly and brought it up to her chest, holding it near her heart.

Sakura turned and ran inside the inn, feeling the warmth of the open fire as it blazed widely in the fireplace. A few men sat at tables, drinking light whiskey as they boasted on about tales they heard.

One of the men saw her walk in and stood up, upsetting the stool he sat on and knocking it down. Raising his tankard full of ale, he yelled to her in a slurred voice. "H-hey missy! H-hey missy! Y-you thurr you-young lass! Com-come ere! Me-me wants som-some ore. Br-bring me men ere som-some, too!"

Sakura furrowed her brows in an attempt to hold back her laugh. She raced up the steps to her room before the laugh could tackled her uncontrollably. Laughing while shutting the door to her room, she leaned against it and sighed happily, feeling content for some odd reason.

Sakura observed her room as she stood leaning of the door, unaware that she was still clutching the feather at her chest.

The pink thick blankets spread smoothly across her soft pallet looked comfortable and inviting. The white window-cover fluttered delicately from the tiny opening of her glassed window, caressing the wooden frame.

Her eyes traveled across the room to the only furniture in the room, besides the bed. The smooth wooden desk that was her mother's stood lovely under another winder.

Sakura walked over to it, trailing her finger-tips along the suave, glossy top. Sitting down on the chair that her father had made by his own hands, she rested her cheeks on the oaken desk. The sturdy chair was padded with cotton for the seat and backrest.

"Mother, I'm back." Sakura whispered lightly. "What was it like to fall in love with father?"

Sakura waited a bit longer, though she knew that she would never get a reply. She smiled softly to herself as she thought about the desk being her dairy, her secret journal.

Standing up, she decided to go back downstairs to help Touya and the others.

'They would be busy, since Yudo decided to open the place back up to lodgers.'

---------------------------------------------------------

Syaoran smacked his head once more, losing count on the number of times he had smacked his head for doing something other than what he had planned.

"Argh! You stupid, pitiful, useless body! Why would you so something that I didn't direct you to do! Why!" he yelled angrily at himself.

Gripping his fists in frustration, he looked up as he heard a scream that was a bit too familiar.

"Oh, no!"

He ran as fast as his body would allow. "Argh! Stupid body! Stupid legs! Run faster god-dammit! I said run faster!"

Syaoran, who was too busy yelling at his body and legs, didn't see the tree branch. Running straight into the thing, he smacked his head and landed on his back. The force of the smack enlarged his forehead as a large discolored mark appeared. His lungs were completely depleted of air from the hard fall.

Moaning loudly, he opened his eyes.

"Aghhh…damn that tree! It came out of no where!"

In fact, the tree was as thick as trees can grow, the branch almost the same size of Syaoran's body.

Getting up, Syaoran punched the bruised spot.

"Ooowwwwww!" Syaoran said as his hands formed a barrier around the injured area. Cursing under his lips, he took up his run again, heading for the inn.

"I'm coming!" He yelled.
