Pain
That dream was three years ago. The now fifteen year old, light-brown haired girl was walking down the street. She always thought about the dream, how it haunted her. But she still dismissed it as nothing but a dream. She continued on walking and saw a familiar figure. It was Syaoran, the guy she liked. His hair was short and it was a chestnut colored. He was 5 foot 5 inches and wore a black shirt and matching pants. She instantly stopped thinking about the dream and ran to him all happily.
"I hope you weren't waiting long!" said Sakura.
"Oh no, of course not, I just love waiting for someone for what seems to be an hour!"
"I'm sorry?" as she said laughing nervously.
"Whatever…"
"Look I'm sorry! I just woke up late because Kero and I had a pillow fight just because we were bored and I guess one of the pillows smacked the alarm clock off.
"Whatever. Come on let's go."
He picked up the basket that was lying on the ground next to his foot.
"So where are we going?" asked Sakura.
"To the park."
"Oooohh…So what are you gonna tell me that was so important that you couldn't tell me over the phone?" she said curiously
"I'll tell you when we get there."
They both walked on to the park. Out of the corner of her eye, Sakura looked at Syaoran who seemed to be in deep thought. Both said nothing to each other. It seemed quiet for a long time. So Sakura tried to start up a conversation to break the silence.
"So…umm…you uh…like stuff?" she asked.
He didn't respond. He was still thinking. So Sakura made another attempt.
"I saw this one scary movie and I like, peed in my pants and I had nightmares for awhile."
He still didn't say anything. So she tried once more.
"That big, fat bitch won't let us!" she yelled out.
It worked. "Huh? What did you say?" he asked.
"I said rabbits eat lettuce." She said with a smile.
"Oh yeah that's right they do. They also eat carrots too you know." He said.
The two talked about rabbits along the way and finally reached the entrance to the park. As they went through the entrance, they both instantly felt something that lasted a second. It was like an electric shock and at the same time it seemed numbing cold.
"Sakura, did you feel that?" asked Syaoran.
"Yeah I did. What was it?" said Sakura.
"I got a bad feeling about this. Keep your guard up." said Syaoran.
Sakura nodded and they both walked on. They looked around to see anything that may be out of the ordinary and saw nothing. The park was beautiful. The lush green grass which was filled with small white flowers and small hills were around. The pink blossoms flew when the wind had blown by the trees. They slowly floated to the ground, gliding blissfully. It looked like pink snow. In the middle was a large pond filled blue water that sparkled in the warm sun. They found a spot to sit with shade from a tree near the pond. They both sat down. Syaoran reached in the basket and took out two containers of food. He gave one to Sakura and also a fork.
"Come on. Let's eat" Said Syaoran. "I'll tell you the thing after we finished."
The container was filled with a mound of white rice and many mini shaped octopuses that were maroon colored, and below that was small white dumplings. They both ate saying nothing to each other. The two enjoyed the view of the pond of the bright colorful fish swimming around in the sparkly water. Ducks floated on the surface going towards children who were throwing bread into the pond. They splashed around fighting for the last piece of the bread. Sakura had finished and waited for Syaoran to finish but it seemed he didn't eat. It looked like he was thinking once again.
"Are you gonna tell me what you want to say to me?" asked Sakura. "Or am I gonna have to wait even more?"
"Huh? Oh yeah I guess I'll tell you. Umm…We've been friends for awhile now and since we're good friends. I felt that I should tell you instead of hearing it from someone else. Sakura, I-"
He was interrupted by a bright red ball that rolled in the middle of them. They both looked around and saw a kid running towards them. The small kid slowly walked up to Sakura. He was about 4 and a half in height and had short hair that was sliver. He had a red tee and had black shorts.
The kid walked up to Sakura and said, "Excuse me Miss but may I have my ball back?"
Sakura nodded happily and grabbed the ball and handed it to the little boy. "Here you go. Now enjoy playing with your friends."
The little boy grabbed it and then said, "Are you ready?"
Sakura was puzzled and a bit scared at the question. Syaoran noticed and then said, "Look, you got your ball. Now go play with your-"
The boy grabbed Syaoran's chest, hard. Cracks could be heard. His small fingers were wedged into him. "Please do not interrupt me when I'm talking." He said as Syaoran choked and gasped for air.
Sakura looking terrified, she grabbed the kid's hand and somehow managed to pry him off of Syaoran's chest. Syaoran grabbed his chest, gasping for air on the ground, down on his knees.
"Who are you!" cried Sakura. "What do you want!" as she went towards to Syaoran's side.
"Come on. Let's play for awhile." said the kid.
In an instant, massive spikes of epic proportions of earth rose from the ground. People were screaming, horrified of what was happening. The small kid floated into the air, hovering a few feet. He gently glided a yard away from Sakura and Syaoran.
"Syaoran! Are you okay?" asked the worried Sakura.
He groaned and saw the hugely spikes headed towards them. "Sakura!" yelled Syaoran as he pushed her to the left, out of harm's way. Sakura rolled and Syaoran barley escaped, only to end up getting a cut on his right arm. "Come on. We gotta stop him." said Syaoran, pulling up the down Sakura.
"Syaoran…Are you okay" asked Sakura.
"Yeah, it's just a little scratch. But come on, we have to do something about him." as he pointed to the boy.
Sakura stood getting ready and her magical key appeared and floated into the air. It shined a faded blue and began to spin wildly. Sakura slowly opened her arms and a bright yellow circle appeared beneath her feet. The bright circle had drawings of a moon on one side and the sun on the other. As the key continued to spin, it grew bigger and longer into her trusty, magical wand. Syaoran grabbed his amulet and it began to glow and a sword with a length of four feet appeared into his hands. They both stood there as they watched people screaming, running form the jagged earth and all in the middle of it was the young slivery boy who started it all, floating in the middle of the pond, towards the direction of Sakura and Syaoran. The spikes continued on and so did the running of the frightened people.
"Do you think we'll be able to stop him?" asked Sakura.
Syaoran lightly touched his chest, remembering the absolute pain. But even so, he was unsure about whether they could beat him. Then he smiled and said, "Come on. Let's rock his world!"
