I thought I'd write an other chapter since so many people seemed to have liked the first one. I have to Clamp character's appear, one of them acting out of character, but it's explained in the story. I am going to define the words that are in Japanese now.
Konnichi wa- hello
Arigato gozaimasu- thank you
Naze- why
Otto- husband
Daisuki- to love
Dare- who
Kanai- wife
Ok, so there are the words that are not so well known. I hope you enjoy.
Empty chairs…no one there…Laughing at walls…What is going on? I'm getting my memory back…but not this one person. Maybe they were imaginary. Was it Syaoran? Or Fai? Could it be Kurogane? No it wouldn't be Kurogane.
Sakura sat in the tall soft grass. Her feet dipped into the clear ponds water. Stretching her arms behind her she enjoyed the serenity. Fighting, well really watching the others fight demons so far, made her yearn for moments like this one.
The koi, well they looked like koi, nipped at her feet if they swam too close to her toes, or if she nudged them slightly. It was never too hard, but enough to make her jump if she wasn't expecting it. The water would ripple at her movements, distorting her reflection.
Syaoran's the only one who made sense. He was always there for her, protecting her, listening to her. When ever she wanted something or to share something it was always with Syaoran.
She smiled to herself thinking of him. Curiosity made her wonder if Syaoran liked her in the slightest.
"Konnichi wa." A woman came up to her. She was beautiful. Her face was perfectly round, her gray eyes wide and full of expression, eyebrows gracefully arched, her small plump lips a dark sakura blossom pink against her alabaster skin. She smiled down and over her slightly large belly Sakura.
Sakura smiled back, "Konnichi wa." She gave her hand to the woman to help her sit down next to her.
"Arigato gozaimasu." She smiled then rolled her kimono up a little so that she could rest her feet in the water. "I'm sorry if I have bothered you, but I had to get away from my husband even for a little while."
"Naze?" She asked.
"Sorata-chan, my otto, is so happy that I'm pregnant. It is really quite funny. He does everything that he can think of to make me happy." She laughed. "He's always been so…"
"Cheerful?" Sakura offered.
"Iie…a baka!" The woman laughed again. "I guess that's what it's like…daisuki."
"Arashi-chan!" They heard a voice call from a distance.
"Uh…he found me. I got to go." Arashi struggled to get up.
"Here." Sakura stood and helped the woman up off the ground.
"Arigato, you're very kind to help me cool my feet and hide from my husband. I hope to see you again." She went rather quickly for someone her size. "Ja ne!"
Sakura was still waving when a man came to a stop next to her, panting and heaving his lungs out.
"She moves quickly."
Sakura decided to act dumb. "Dare?"
"Kanai, my kanai Arashi."
"Eh…" Sakura continued for a little while.
Sorata then burst out laughing. "She used to be so shy, shy as in angry. But she was so beautiful I knew I had to marry her or die trying. Man did she make sure I came close to dying. Ai does things to you. I have never seen her smile so much before we got married." He took a breath. "Pregnancy seems to have made her happier and full of more energy."
Sakura was amazed at how open this couple had been with her. She just stared and the strong jawed man. His eyes were shut, but she could see the brown reflecting sunshine and radiating amusement. His hair was a natural mess on the top of his head, his eyebrows were just as thick, but not as unruly.
"Well," he stood up and stretched his muscles some. "I'm off."
Ai…it changed her. She's almost happier than her husband. Would loving Syaoran be like that?
