Kremlin Dusk

Disclaimer: Blab bla bla. I don't own CLAMP. The plot is mine. I'm trying my best to update when I can because I have no ideas anymore. Big thanks to all the readers and reviewers! There is no point to this chapter, BUT, I typed it up anyways just for you to read.

Chapter 7 – Let's Get Married.

BAM! Syaoran sat up abruptly, awaking from his dream. He was panting like a dog. "Ow!" Syaoran yelped as he pinched himself. It was definitely a dream. A dream, a dream, a dream, a dream, a—

SHUTUP! Stop echoing! Syaoran frustrated, ran his hands through his hair and switched on his lamp. Three 'o' clock in the morning.

Damn, I wish that was real…it seemed pretty real. NOT REAL ENOUGH SYAORAN! Screw you. Go back to sleep. Alright, alright.

Several houses away

"Hello? This is Sakura. Who is this? I see…. And what time is it? Why are you calling me? …No thanks, Mr Daiske. No, it's alright really. Ok…ok goodnight." Sakura spoke tiredly, obviously uninterested. It was 2am and boy was she tired. As Sakura settled back into her comfy bed and closed her eyes…

Pick up the phone, pick up the phone, pick up the phone— (Ring tone)

Sakura sat up reluctantly and answer her mobile phone which Eriol recently bought Sakura. "Hello. This is Sakura speaking. Who is this? I see….And how did you get this private number? I see….Why are you calling me? Well that is very flattering, but no thanks. Ok Mr Kaiki, good night" Sakura hung up.

"That was the..." Sakura paused to count her fingers. "You carry the six and then you place it under the 2…so that makes it…." Sakura thought hard, while mumbling to herself. "The 11th person tonight..." Sakura sighed deciding to switch off her phone.

Sakura began counting sheep in her head while talking in her sleep. "One fluffy wuffy sheep…two fluffy wuffy sheep, three fluffy ---." Cut off by the sound of snoring.

In the morning

"Sakura wake up..." Ryu shook her slightly. Sakura grunted in return. "There are some people waiting outside for you." Ryu added. "Who?" Sakura asked pulling her weary head out of the pillow. "Beats me."

"Beat you? Alright." Suddenly Sakura had a mischievous grin on her face, but before she could react a pillow was blown at her face. "Hey! No fair!" Sakura yelled countering the attack with a blanket thrown over Ryu, and trapping her in a tangled mess. "AHHHH! GET IT OFF! GET IT OFF." Ryu screamed.

Out of nowhere Kim came striding through the doors watching the screaming Ryu. Might as well join in. Kimura shrugged. "Hiyah!" Kim yelled throwing a pillow ninja style at Sakura and Ryu. Within minutes the room was covered with feathers.

As Ryu and Kim ganged up on Sakura with a permanent texta, Sakura's eyes widened in horror. "NO! NO! NOT THE PERMENATNT TEXTA! DEAR LORD! THE HORROR!" Sakura yelled over dramatically backing up into a corner. "MWHAHAHAHAHA!" Kim evil laughed. Ryu looked at Kim weirdly and cocked an eyebrow at her.

"1, 2, 3….MWHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Ryu and Kim chanted. "Am I going to get texta-ed or what?" Sakura asked impatiently. "Oh yeh right."

DING DONG

"I think we forgot the people outside." Kim sweat dropped. Sakura ran downstairs with feathers stuck to her and texta marks on her face. The little French moustache evident, with the over exaggerated curls at the end.

Outside the door there was a group of man with nice suits and bouquets of flowers. "Hello Kinomoto-san." The front man spoke his voice breaking from the appearance of Sakura. "I'm sorry, I must have the wrong house."

"No, I'm Kinomoto Sakura." Sakura smiled extending her hand out. The man hesitantly shook her hand back. "Excuse me while I go clean myself up. I hope my friends do a good job at entertaining you while I'm gone."

Sakura ran upstairs and out the window. CRASH. I'm fine. I'm fine. Ow, ow, ow. She began walking to a nearby park and enjoyed the cool breeze.

Pick up the phone biatch, pick up the phone.

"Hello. This is Sakura…"

Sakura dropped her phone and screamed as she was grabbed from behind. A hand quickly clamped over her mouth and she instantly fell unconscious. It was pretty early in the morning so no one was there to notice her being dragged away.

"It's such a beautiful day today. It's a nice day for a run in the park. Tralalalalalala," Thomas sang cheerfully while jogging. "Huh? What's that?" He stopped and strained his eyes. "What the hell is that man doing with his dog!" Thomas ran over to where he saw the dog. When he got there the man and his dog was gone, but he noticed something else that was strange.

Sakura! His eyes widened. There was a man standing over her cackling like a son-of-a-biatch. "GET OFF HER YOU PAEDO!" Thomas yelled slamming a fist into the man's face. When he fell to the ground Thomas kicked him so hard in the gut that blood spilled from his mouth. Hurriedly Thomas took the opportunity to drag Sakura's unconscious body out of there.

"One fluffy wuffy sheep….two fluffy wuffy sheep." She mumbled in her sleep. He chuckled lightly.

He felt a tap on his shoulder and turned around still carrying Sakura in his arms. A fist came flying towards his face, but he was too slow to react. He flew backwards and held onto Sakura tighter so that she wouldn't get hard. Screaming out in pain Thomas tried to crawl out of there. Blood was trickling down from his face and his eye was covered in blood. He couldn't see anything. The man had knocked him right in the eye.

He pushed Sakura away and she rolled behind the bushes.

"I'll teach you not to mess with my women!"

"Ugh. She's not yours mother fucker." Thomas smirked wiping the blood from his face.

"Don't you know that blood from your face takes the longest to clot?"

"Huh?" No matter how many times he wiped his face the blood kept flowing.

"If for some miraculous reason I can't kill you, you'll bleed to death anyways. When you do, I'll take that girl and then kill her. Even better why don't I knock you half to death then you can hear her screaming in pain as I deflower her?"

"NO! I WON'T LET YOU!"

He kicked Thomas in the gut and Thomas groaned in pain. Thomas couldn't see anything he was…powerless. Please let Sakura be safe.

Suddenly the perpetrator fell over. Sigh. "Thank god you came Syaoran."

"Are you strong enough to get Sakura out of here?" Thomas nodded and slowly stood up. "I'm going to stay here and teach this a$$ not to mess with Li Syaoran's friends." Especially ones they love. He added as an afterthought.

As Thomas slowly dragged Sakura away, the screams of a poor man being beaten up were heard.

…At the hospital…

"Are you alright Sakura?"

"For the last time Thomas I'm fine! You should worry more about yourself."

"Promise me that you'll never go to the park alone again!"

"I promise." Sakura laughed.

"Excuse me Mr. Shin. I'm Doctor Kurosaki. I'm afraid I have bad news…." He paused.

"I'm not sure if you'll ever see in your right eye again. You received a dangerous hit to your eye. I'm surprised you were able to feel your way to the hospital."

Thomas looked down and frowned. He looked up again and smiled. "I'll do anything to protect the people I love."

"I'll be back later so rest." He left out the door. More bad news.

"Don't worry Thomas, I'll be your eyes until you can see again. I'm so sorry." She smiled and tears fell. "It's okay . I'm glad I could protect you, but I wonder how Syaoran is doing."

"I told you to worry more about yourself! I'll go check up on Syaoran." She wiped away her tears and stood up. "Hurry back…I have something to tell you."

It might have started as a game in the beginning…but I think…I think I've fallen for her.

"Syaoran are you okay!" Sakura boomed. He was sitting outside. "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine. Of course I'm fine! Thank you for fighting off that guy Syaoran. I really owe it to you. I don't know want to know what Thomas or I would've gotten into if you hadn't come."

"I told you, it's no big deal. As long as you're safe, then it was all worth it. What are friends for?"

Sakura hugged Syaoran tightly and excused herself to be with Thomas. Sigh. Why'd it have to be like this? This incident changes everything. Why do you have to run to him?

"Welcome back Sakura. "

"Why do you smile like that? How can you smile like that when you're in pain?"

"Because I'm happy when I see you."

"Don't say that! When I think that you got hurt because of me…I just don't want to hear it!"

"Sakura…"

"Why do you protect me? I don't understand you! You almost died out there and I can't bear to see you in pain!"

"Sakura…"

"I just don't understand how you still smile through your pain. When people hurt they cry and when people are happy they smile. You're not happy are you? You're in pain!"

"Sakura…I'm happy because you're here with me…"

She was crying hard now. Why was it whenever she saw Thomas he always gave her a different rush of emotions? First time she was angry, then happy and now sad.

"Sakura…I know this is really weird but…I love you! Please marry me!"

Why am I crying over a simple girl like you Sakura? Why do you effect me so much?

YAY! One chapter done! So glad, after months of no inspiration! R & R!
