DISCLAIMER: I have to do this everytime, so here it goes. I don't own anything related to CCS, although I wish I did. So don't sue me for having wishes. I also don't own the song in this fic.
The week went by, and everyday, after classes, Sakura and Tomoyo always practiced the song. Sakura finally was able to memorize the song and sing it without difficulty in English and with emotion.
On the day of the talent show, Sakura was very nervous. She kept glancing at the crowd in hopes to see Syaoran's familiar face to make her feel less nervous, but being unable to see him made her feel worse.
"Daijobu, Sakura-chan. I'm sure he's on his way right now."
"I hope so. He knows how important this talent show is to me. And what use is singing this song if the one I dedicate it to isn't here?"
"Don't worry so much. It's almost your turn. Now is not the time to back out."
"You're right. I probably just can't see him with all the lights."
"Up next," Naoku said, "is Kinomoto Sakura to show us her talent in singing."
The crowd clapped as Sakura entered the stage. She looked beautiful in the outfit Tomoyo made for her. It was a simple strapless dress that fell a little above her knees, hot pink in color with a white ribbon around the waist. Her hair was neatly tied to a half-ponytail while her make-up was just light with pink eye shadow and light pink lip-gloss.
She walked over to where the microphone was, took it out from the stand and waited for the music to start.
She closed her eyes, took a deep breath and started to sing. 'Syaoran, wherever you are, I hope you can hear this,' she thought to herself.
"Remember the first day when I saw your face
Remember the first day when you smiled at me
You stepped to me and you said to me
I was the woman you dreamed about
Remember the first day when you called my house
Remember the first day when you took me out
We had butterflies although we tried to hide
And we both had a beautiful night
The way we held each other's hand
The way we talked the way we laughed
It felt so good to find true love
I knew right then and there you were the one
I know that he loves me cause he told me so
I know that he loves me cause his feelings show
When he stares at me you see that he cares for me
You see how he is so deep in love
I know that he loves me cause its obvious
I know that he loves me cause it's me he trusts
And he's missing me if he's not kissing me
And when he looks at me his brown eyes tells his soul
Remember the first day, the first day we kissed
Remember the first day we had an argument
We apologized and then we compromised
And we haven't argued since
Remember the first day we stopped playing games
Remember the first day you fell in love with me
It felt so good for you to say those words
Cause I felt the same way too
The way we held each other's hand
The way we talked the way we laughed
It felt so good to find true love
I knew right then and there you were the one
I know that he loves me cause he told me so
I know that he loves me cause his feelings show
When he stares at me, you see that he cares for me
You see how he is so deep in love
I know that he loves me cause its obvious
I know that he loves me cause it's me he trusts
And he's missing me if he's not kissing me
And when he looks at me his brown eyes tells his soul
I'm so happy so happy that you're in my life
And baby now that you're a part of me
You showed me
Showed me the true meaning of love
And I know he loves me
I know that he loves me cause he told me so
I know that he loves me cause his feelings show
When he stares at me, you see that he cares for me
You see how he is so deep in love
I know that he loves me cause its obvious
I know that he loves me cause it's me he trusts
And he's missing me if he's not kissing me
And when he looks at me his brown eyes tells his soul."
The crowd burst into a loud applause and some even took the liberty of giving her a standing ovation. From backstage, her friends were also clapping for her.
When she arrived backstage after taking a bow, she was immediately engulfed by her friends in a sea of "congratulations" and "job well done". She immediately broke free from the crowd when she saw Syaoran's warm smile.
"Syaoran-kun. What are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be in the audience? Ne, ne, did you here my song?"
"Of course I did. Wouldn't miss it for the world. Anou, was that song for me?"
"Hai," she stated rather shyly, a slight blush creeping onto her cheeks.
"Arigato. It was a great performance."
"Arigato. But, what are you doing here?"
Isn't this chapter short? But from my own experience, I don't like having to read all those super long chapters. I'd rather read a lot of chapters than one chapter that's really long. Not that I'm offending anyone who thinks the opposite nor am I trying to reach out to anybody. I totally respect anyone who chooses that way. I'm just doing what I like because I'm the author. Again, I'm asking for reviews to update the next chapter, so please don't hesitate to click on that box in the corner that says 'submit a review'. So please R+R!
