Kremlin Dusk
Making time fly again…hehehe! Enjoy! KMR belongs to me and 2 other ppl. The plot belongs to me! Some of the additional characters belong to me! I don't own CLAMP! I don't own the songs written by Utada Hikaru.
Chapter 3 – I Need You
"Weeeee! Syao-kun! Push me higher! Higher!!!" Sakura screamed in delight as she swung higher and higher. Syaoran chuckled and pushed Sakura higher. It's been four months since Sakura first came and they've become the best of friends.
Sakura helps Syaoran, Syaoran helps Sakura…it's mutual, there just good friends helping each other out….or are they more then just good friends. Sure they are young and probably really confused and unsure about what they're feeling, but you're never too old or young to love.
"Sakura! Syaoran!" Kim, Mii and Ryu yelled. "Huh?" Sakura and Syaoran turned their heads around and looked questioningly at the three puffed out girls. "You wanna go eat ice-cream…our little treat since it's your birthday Sakura!" Ryu lunged onto Sakura giving her a crushing bear hug. "Can't breathe." Sakura managed to choke out.
"Ouchie." Sakura rubbed her arm up and down. "Hey, it's tradition, you get ten punches cos you're ten." Mihara defended. "That doesn't mean that you have to rip off my arm in the process." Sakura complained. "C'mon. Megumi-chan is taking us and I can hear the car." Kimura begged. "Eh? Where's Tomo and Jen?" Syaoran asked looking around. "She's in the car! Now let's go!!!" Kim dragged Sakura, and Sakura dragged Syaoran and so on and so on.
Sakura was smiling brightly as she walked to the ice cream parlour swinging hands with Syaoran. (Crowd goes: AWWWWWWW!) Syaoran smiled back cheerfully trying to contain his laughter. They had an ice cream fight and Sakura had a cherry in her hair. (Shhh…it's a secret, Sakura doesn't know she has a cherry in her hair)
5 years later (Syao 16yo, Saku 14yo)
"Sakura….I wanted to thank you before I leave." Syaoran thanked holding Sakura's hand, caressing her hair gently. Tears were streaming down her face and dripping off her jaw. It's been five years since she last cried and that's when her family died. Ever since she met Syaoran she hasn't cried, she only laughed and now he was leaving.
(Sniffle, sniffle) "I just wanted to thank you for changing me…you Sakura Kinomoto changed me…I used to be cold, but since I met you I haven't stopped smiling." Syaoran bowed. "And I want to thank you for making the last five years of my life wonderful." Sakura hiccupped and cried onto Syaoran's shoulder. "Syaoran…" Sakura wiped away her tears and looked into his eyes. "I've known this for a long time and…." "I love you Sakura." Syaoran leaked A tear. "I love you too Syaoran." Sakura hugged Syaoran tightly and Syaoran hugged her back.
"Promise me that we'll meet again one day…and never forget me." Sakura asked smiling slightly. "I promise." Syaoran easily answered back. "Pinky promise?" Sakura stuck out her pinky. "Pinky promise." Syaoran's pinky linked together with Sakura's. "Never forget me either." Syaoran whispered into Sakura's ear. Sakura hugged Syaoran for as long as she could and did what she thought she was right. She stole Syaoran's first kiss, of course it was her fast time too. "I'll never forget you." Sakura hugged Syaoran tightly for the last time.
"C'mon Syaoran, it's time to go…you are the Oshinawa's son now." Megumi encouraged. "Bye Tomo! Bye Jen! Bye Kim, Mii, Ryu! Sayonara Sakura." Syaoran yelled goodbye to as he was ushered into the BMW.
Syaoran's been adopted and now Sakura was alone again. A part of her was ripped out, wrapped in shiny paper and given to Syaoran to keep for all eternity. Hopefully one day he would unwrap it and realise what a precious gift it really is.
10 years later
Dear Diary,
Today is exactly ten years since he left. I haven't seen him for ten years… can you believe it? I survived. I don't think I would have ever survived without KMR, Tomoyo and Jennifer. I haven't stayed in touch with them. Except for Kim, Mii and Ryu (KMR). They told me, whenever I needed clothes, money, a place to stay, someone dead, anything, that they were more than welcome to give it to me. Of course I declined, but they insisted, so from time to time I ask them for stuff.
Just to explain Kim, Mii and Ryu are now professional assassins. Syaoran…I miss you so much, I haven't seen you in what it feels like, a lifetime. I need you. But I don't want you to see me in this pathetic mess either. Guess what? I'm living on the streets, that's right. When I turned 18, Megumi had no choice, but to kick me out.
I've always wondered why I was never adopted. Always….I've always wondered why Syaoran never bothered contacting me. Just writing this hurts. But somehow, knowing that you love me makes it all worth while. I can't help but think that there is still some little spark of hope in my soul.
Even though guys have chased me for years, I always rejected them cos I knew you love me. I kept myself for you. Syaoran…you caused me so much pain, but so much happiness too.
Syaoran….wherever you are…I just want to let you know that I will always love you no matter what.
Love Sakura
Sakura slowly closed her diary and a lone tear escaped her eyes. She was in rags and it was freezing cold. It was beginning to snow. Like the snow, my heart has remained frozen. Sakura hugged herself tightly walking down the streets. "I think I'll stay at KMR mansion tonight, it's so cold." Sakura muttered to herself.
The twinkle that she used to carry in her eyes was no more. It was no longer there, her flame, her passion had been put out long ago.
Sakura walked by a couple holding hands walking by. Somehow the man seemed familiar yet distant. "Syaoran, wasn't that a great movie?" "Yeh it was Mei." That was when Sakura's heart felt heavy. She recognised that voice, it was his voice. Sakura stopped walking right in front of them. "Syaoran…" Sakura managed to stutter out, she was staring at the ground, her eyes swelling with tears. "I'm sorry do I know you?" Syaoran asked confused.
"Of course you don't. Why would you? You know what? Don't keep promises that you can't keep. I would never have expected a Li to break his promises. You're a disgrace to your dead family. I hate you Syaoran Li! You might as well murder me! It would be doing you, me and the whole world a god damn favour." Sakura yelled trembling her fists clenched.
Li? How does she know that? Syaoran thought confused. Li? Who's Li? Mei also thought confused.
(WHAM, CRACK) Sakura punched Syaoran in the face, she took martial arts lesson. "FUCK YOU SYAORAN! I NEVER SWORE BEFORE AND IT'S A SHAME THAT I HAD TO WASTE IT ON YOU!!!" Sakura yelled into Syaoran's ear. Mei (not Meiling, just Mei) was standing there watching the whole scene unfold and was infuriated. "Nobody treats my fiancée like a boxing bag and gets away with it." Mei proclaimed and tried to high kick Sakura. Sakura blocked it and stumbled backwards onto the ground.
"F-fia-fiancée?" Sakura stuttered. It hurt so bad, her mind was confused, what did she mean? But her heart knew the answer. Syaoran broke her heart. She waited so long, tried so hard…just to have her heart torn up.
"I have to go now. Gomen nasai Li." Sakura bowed lightly and ran off into the darkness tears streaking her face. "Syaoran? Who's Li." Mei asked curiously. "Nevermind…" It brought back happy memories with Sakura…today was ten years since he last saw her. "Awww…I wanna know." Mei begged. "No means no." Syaoran said firmly and Mei dropped the topic.
Aish woman, you could have at least asked if I was okay. If it was Sakura here and not you, then she would have known what to say…I miss you cherry blossom. I wonder…who that person was before. Only the people at the orphanage know my real surname. I wonder… Syaoran thought about Sakura everyday.
"Syaoran we're here." Mei tugged on Syaoran's leather jacket. "Ok."
KMR mansion
Sakura pushed the doorbell, while hiccupping. The doorbell was playing one of those annoying tunes, but this tune Sakura really loved and often she would hum to it. But that didn't happen today. "Sakura? Come in, come in. What's the matter?" Kimura asked concerned while ushering Sakura in. Suddenly Mihara and Ryuka appeared and were buzzing around Sakura worriedly. "I saw Syaoran today." Sakura sniffed. "OH THAT'S GREAT." They cheered in unison. "He didn't recognise me and.." Sakura was cut off. "THAT STUPID BASTARD!" Kimura and Mihara yelled outraged. "Wait! She has to finish! She said AND." Ryuka wacked Kimura and Mihara on the head to shut them up.
"And..and…he's engaged." Sakura stuttered. There was a moment of silence
(SILENCE)…………… (SILENCE X 2)………… (SILENCE X 3)…………
The faces of Kim, Mii and Ryu were quickly turning pink, then red and finally they exploded. "WE'LL KILL THAT SON-OF-A-BITCH IF IT'S THE LAST THING WE DO." They yelled at the top of their lungs. They were now whizzing around planning when, where, what, where and why to kill him.
It's all in the "Assassin's Handbook Rulebook". "That's not necessary. I've had a long day and I don't wanna talk about it, so can I please stay here a while? It's cold outside." Sakura smiled weakly. "You can stay here as long as you want. We have a lot of green stuff." Mii smiled counting her money.
"Thanks." "Sakura, you don't have to smile for us, you know?" "I know..." And with that Sakura headed upstairs to her usual room. Soon after she fell asleep Sakura had the same scene play over and over in her head.
"I'm sorry do I know you?".................. "FUCK YOU SYAORAN! I NEVER SWORE BEFORE AND IT'S A SHAME THAT I HAD TO WASTE IT ON YOU!!!".......................... "Nobody treats my fiancée like a boxing bag and gets away with it."....................
The word fiancée just echoed through her head all night.
How was that chapter? I tried to make it as long as I could. Well please review, tell me what you think, ok? Stay tuned for next chapter:
Sakura confronts Syaoran yet again, but now that she's all cleaned up, Syaoran recognises her. Will Syaoran dump Mei, or take Sakura back? Will Mei become envious of Sakura? Will Kimura ever get over her scratched car?
Stayed tuned next time on Kremlin Dusk.
Luv White
