Syaoran was nervous, and didn't really know why. It was just a normal summer morning, as good and warm as any, but he couldn't get rid of the feeling he was forgetting something, an important thing.
He was shaking and sweating and was completely frustrated, once again (for the million time) trying to remember whatever it was. Maybe if it weren't so damn hot here. He was right, it was a very sunny day in Hong Kong, and it just did not help him concentrate on anything.
-Wei! Can you tell me what day is it?- He asked, questioning the old man has always been the next best resource.
-It's the 25th Syaoran-sama. Don´t you remember? Last year you were at Japan, staying at you friend's house, Daidouji-san.
And that's were it hit him. The first anniversity of when Sakura confessed her feelings for her, when they became a couple.
-Shit! –Syaoran said softly, then louder. – Thanks!
That's what he had forgotten, he needed to send Sakura something, a present or a letter. She is a girl and that was what girls expected after a year of being together with a boy. Gods, what do I do? What should I sent her? How do I make it arrive today?
Syaoran though about it for a few minutes, but getting more stressed than before he gave up and used his other next best resource.
-Meilin? Yeah I have a problem. Yes, obviously I want your help, I wouldn't call if not. No, no, you don't get to record me saying I need help. Who are you Daidouji? I don't care if it is a miracle. No, no, just come here!
Syaoran closed the phone and his eyes in frustration, after a while he checked the time. 10 o'clock a.m. Okay that leaves me 14 hours to do something, that's enough time, isn't it?
-The same time at Tomoeda-
Sakura was thinking about the things that happened that same date last year, everytime she pinctured Syaoran with that same adorable blush he had that day before and after she jumped to hug him. She felt goosebumps in her skin, and her face started reddening. She had sent her present for him a few days ago in order for it to be delivered today. I really hope he likes it.
She had spent days and days making a big cozy green sweater for him, and had sent it with some of his favourite chocolates and a note adjust to it that said "For he next time you come here. Love, Sakura." She was really happy with the results, and hopefully, so will Syaoran.
Sakura didn't want to expect a gift, she knew how strong Syaoran's training had been lately as his phone calls where fewer and shorter than before. He had said the elders wanted to take full advatage of this summer as he had booked a ticket for Tomoeda to spent there winter holidays. Sakura knew how tired he could be and didn't want to add even more work to his already busy schedule. Though deep down, she hoped for a present, to know that Syaoran had though about her as much a she though about him.
-Oniichan! Has anything arrived at the post?! Anything for me?!
-No kaiju!
-I'M NOT A KAIJU!
-Back at Hong Kong -
-So do you know what are you gonna to get her?
Syaoran shook his head while the girl sighed in desappointed, Meilin couldn't even begin to imagine how his responsable, inteligent and loving cousin forgot such an important date. God! Anyone and their mother could tell how deeply he cared for Kinomoto-san, making it even more surprising.
-Any other girl and you'd be in a very serious trouble, though I doubt Sakura-chan will make a fuss about it.
-That's not it, Meilin. I am not worried about her getting mad (well just a little), what I'm really worried about is to desappoint her. To make her sad. I do not want that it the slightest.
I swore long ago that I would never hurt her, not me, ever. Syaoran though, but didn't say. His head was starting to ache, thinking of a possible present for Sakura. He needed to make a decision quickly, and find a way, he just couldn't upset her.
-To bad you can't use magic, huh? Can you imagine, being transported magically to her house? To spent the whole day with her? That would be the perfect…
HEY! WHERE ARE YOU GOING? I WAS JUST JOKING.
Syaoran didn't hear her, he started running even before she finished her sentence. He knew exactly what kind of magic he needed and who could help him. Mother.
-Tomoeda –
Sakura sighed for the hundred time that day, she was sitting in her bedroom staring at her window watching the day go through. It's already 3:30 p.m. As it was Sunday, she had decided she wouldn't leave the house at all, because maybe Syaoran would call her on the phone or something would arrived by post and she wanted to be here for it. It was really getting in the nerves of the tiny yellow creature who sat next to her, Kero had watched how his master had spent hours in the same spot, thinking.
-I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE! SAKURA! –He screamed to her ear.
-HOEEEE! KERO WHAT WAS THAT FOR?!
-You have been there waiting for the longest time, I can't stand it, do something for the love of candy! That gaki isn't showing himself faster if you do nothing.
-I know Kero-chan, but I have to wait for him, even if nothing happens, at least I'm still waiting.
The guardian just looked at her, thinking how sweet she could be. It is not always healthy. He understood what love was, and that the boy meant a whole deal to her, but still, he knew it was no good to just sit and wait. She needed to act.
-Sakura, I know you care and that it's your anniversity or whatever, but you cannot do this. At least, if you don't want to go out, do homework, read, watch TV or play a videogame with me. But don't just do nothing, 'cause it ain't helping, and it's silly.
She sighed, again. But she stood, went to her closet and took the video console and the games out. She connected it, knowing well how big of a grin Kero-chan had in his face, and chose a game to play.
-Okay, game on.
- Hong-Kong -
-Are you ready son? – Syaoran nood his head a tiny bit, almost without moving it, to the royal looking and slender woman he had in front.- Good, I will do the spell, it will take you to Japan and transport you back exactly at 8 o'clock tonight. Promised that you will never ask anything like this again, magic isn't something you can play with.
-I promised, thank you mother. I will do my end of the bargain when I return.
-Good, let's start.
He looked how his mother said the words and how a circle of power was created under him. An odd sensation went through out his whole body, it was like by drag to somewhere else strongly, definetly not a thing he was use to. Goosebumps form it his arms as he held the packages he had on his arms more tightly. He counted the seconds, if everything went well he should arrive at her front door right…
-Now.
Syaoran moved his eyes to every direction, very amased. It worked, I knew it would but still. I need to learn and master that spell quickly. He smiled as he felt his head clear, finally he could find some peace, he felt so light. Here it Tomoeda he felt just at home, especially standing in front of Sakura's house, knowing she is just a few meters away made his heart beat faster in excitement. He putt he two boxes on the floor and rang the bell.
-MY CALL! –When he heard that voice, he felt his heart stop for a second. The door opened and there she was, beautiful as always. In the next few second he took noticed of everything about her, her short hair that was slightly longer, her hypnotic green eyes that he could stared at for hours, her various expression from confusion, to undestandment, to full happiness and love, that took his breath away completely. Her blushed cheeks, her little body that looked older, taller, and her comfy looking clothes that were perfect on her. Everything is perfect on her. He felt his cheeks reddening.
-Hi.
Sakura jumped to his arms and hugged him tightly, it was so good seeing him there that she couldn't help herself. He is wearing my coat, it actually looks perfect.
-You are here! –She whispered in his ear, smiling.
-Yes. Happy anniversary love.
-Happy anniversary!
