Gosh!! I have had a ton of support from all of you!! I'm soo happy! ^.^ So� ready for more kawaiiness? I sure am! Oh, and a bit of E+T of all of the Eriol + Tomoyo fans! ^.~
To my dedicated friends, Jasmine, Chris and Mary thanks for telling me what u think of my story.
On a more serious note. Earlier, I received a flame. My first flame. It was directed to my second story, Mystical Ying And Yang. I'm sure some of you have read it. This person was saying how it was sooooo bad how I had Sakura and Syaoran get together so fast and not let them grow to like each other.
To that mean person.
I bet you've never read of soul mates. Or even love at first sight. If you've ever heard of them, you'll learn that love is very unique.
So, I'd like to ask all of you. Do you think I reacted to harshly? Was my story that bad? I'm leaving that review there so all of you can see it and judge for yourself. Was I right doing that?
Sung From The Heart
Chapter 15: The Decision
That evening had been a blast. Syaoran had escorted her back after getting Sensei's approval for leaving earlier.
She had been wrapped in his warm arms, half asleep, and fully content as they walked back up to their hut.
He was vastly contented as well, his head buried in her sweet smelling auburn hair. She turned in his arms, towards him before giving him a peck on the cheek. Cuddling her, Syaoran wrapped his tanned arms around even more tightly.
He couldn't believe that they were together. It was shocking but it felt utterly right. Like she was his only counterpart. Looking down on her, he sighed as he saw her closed eyes and her even breathing.
She had fallen asleep and he didn't want to wake her. So, making up his mind, he scooped her up and carried her back, princess-style.
Nearby, a tiny giggle was heard. You could say it sounded a bit impish for if you had seen the giggler, you could swear by your life she was being mischievous. Tomoyo was hidden after following the new couple, up a tree after Eriol had so gentlemanly helped her up in.
He sat next to her, the moonlight glistening over his glasses. The moon herself was reflected in his eyes as he watched Syaoran pick the sleeping angel up into his arms.
Unfortunately for Tomoyo, her video camera was in the cottage so she had no chance of getting the sweet moment. As she watched her best friend being carried back to bed, she gazed up at the moon.
The moon was full and white, its becoming light lighting the way home. A long forgotten poem sprouted from her cold lips, an old song her mother used to sing before she became engrossed in business.
"My heart was once a garden, with dim, enchanted trees, with hints of untouched violets, and shy anemones. I showed my love the garden, where April dreams I'd hide, but heedlessly he lost the key and now-we've both inside."
She had almost forgot he was there. Her secret crush, the one she adored over the others. Blushing from the lyrics of the old poem, she smiled whimsically at the stars.
'He was so quiet but when he wants to, he can converse so well you could forget who you were,' she thought calmly. Her bright purple eyes twinkled in the night air; a glow that wasn't there normally was shining out.
The two of them sat on the branch silently marvelling. How they ended up like this. Not know the other was thinking the exact same thoughts. She shivered almost unnoticeably. She had given back his jacket back when they had finished dancing before.
She crept over, he noticed but didn't show a reaction. In all of his examining throughout the years, he had never found a flaw in her. For years he had studied her. But to the result of nothing except that he fell in deeper love with her.
She leaned on his arm, head on his shoulder. She was a seraph, always shining brightly in her quiet way, pushing darkness away. He believed he was blessed to have found her in his travels. Clow Reed had been lonely all of his life. His reincarnation was luckier in finding his counterpart.
She fell asleep, comforted by his warm, mystifying presence. He slowly crept his arm around her slender waist.
Contented.
~*~
She had insisted on him to sleep next to her, not wanting to be alone and think it had all been a dream when she woke up. So when the next morning came, Li Syaoran woke up with an aching body, having slept half on the bed, half off on the hard floor.
Moaning and groaning, he slumped onto the floor. He heard tinkling laughter, softly and nearly unheard. Rubbing the back of his head, he turned his head towards the bed, as he saw Sakura with one eye open. Reaching up, he stroked her soft velvety cheek before kissing her soundly.
Sakura giggled happily as they slowly parted from each other, they clutched at each other as their foreheads stayed together.
It's amazing how you can speak right to my heart
Without saying a word, you can light up the dark
Try as I may I could never explain
What I hear when you don't say a thing
As she leaned for another kiss, she was pleasantly startled when she was suddenly lifted from the bed. Squealing softly, she poked Syaoran as he carried her princess style to the breakfast table. Luckily Tomoyo and Eriol were still in bed for they had a late night while Sakura and Syaoran had retired early.
The smile on your face lets me know that you need me
There's a truth in your eyes saying you'll never leave me
The touch of your hand says you'll catch me whenever I fall
You say it best� when you say nothing at all
Placing her down, he pulled a chair out and pushed it in when she sat in it. Smiling irregularly (This is Syaoran we're talking bout..), he started to cook as Sakura smiled sweetly as she sniffed the wonderful smells that began emerging from the saucepan that he was using.
'Bacon and eggs,' was what she smelled. Glorious bacon and eggs.
All day long I can hear people talking out loud
But when you hold me near, you can drown out the crowd
Try as they may they can never define
What's been said between you're heart and mine
She popped a cherry into her red mouth, biting it and pulling off the stem. She gazed dreamily out the door, blissfully happy. Between her and Syaoran there were no words except peaceful and content silence. The type that only lovers have.
The smile on your face lets me know that you need me
There's a truth in your eyes saying you'll never leave me
The touch of your hand says you'll catch me whenever I fall
You say it best� when you say nothing at all
A warm plate was placed in front of her, a glass of fresh orange juice was next to it and a calloused hand brought a spoonful of warm porridge to her face. Twinkling eyes, she smiled beautifully, as closed her mouth around the spoon head.
The smile of your face lets me know that you need me
There's a truth in your eyes saying you'll never leave me
The touch of your hand says you'll catch me whenever I fall
You say it best� when you say nothing at all
There she was, delicately eating her breakfast he had made for her. He was still very shocked at last night's events. To think, that he, Syaoran Li from Hong Kong, China could fall for a Japanese girl. Him, the one who had avoided being with the opposite sex for his entire life, except for his family. He was even smiling and watching her lovingly.
The smile on your face
The truth in your eyes
The touch of your hand
Let's me know that you need me�
This had what the other Syaoran must have felt like when he was with the other Sakura. He was at peace at last. He felt like all of his emptiness had finally been filled. He felt for once in his life, a purpose in which he existed.
"Morning minna-san," said Eriol, yawning out loud as he dragged himself from the hallway. Sitting cautiously on a pulled out chair, he stretched and yawned again.
"Where's Kero?" asked Sakura, sipping the cold orange juice slowly.
"Still sleeping with Tomoyo in her room," he said, smiling admirably looking much better now he had composed himself.
The phone rang. Eriol went to answer it as Kero and Tomoyo came in for the breakfast. Syaoran passed bowls of chilled creamed fruits to Tomoyo and Kero as they tucked in hungrily. Sakura watched the amusedly as Eriol returned.
"Syaoran� It's your's�"he whispered.
Syaoran's face-hardened. 'Who would call him here?' He nodded towards Eriol as he stood and took the phone with him outside.
Sakura laughed at something Eriol commented about one of his experiences with Nakuru and Suppi. (You didn't think I'd forget them? Never!!!!) She never really noticed that Syaoran was out of the room for a while.
Meanwhile�
Syaoran held the phone to his ear.
'Moshi moshi?' he said, asking who was it?
'Xiao Lang!!!!' catcalled all four of his sisters.
He winced at their volume, answering.
'Yes?'
'Have you found your bride yet?' they chorused.
He blushed, even though they couldn't see him, they could tell by his silence.
'You do!!!!! Xiao Lang has a girlfriend!!!' they wailed, happily squawking.
'Girls, now stop teasing your brother and give me the phone,' a regal and stately voice was heard.
'Mama, how are you?' asked Syaoran, much more serious now that he was talking to his mother.
' I am fine, have you found Sakura yet?' she asked, giving him the shock of his life.
'How do you know?' was all he could say.
'It is your destiny,' she said in reply.
'Yes, I have found her,'
'Unfortunately, the Elders are getting impatient, so you must bring her to meet us.'
'When!?!' he whispered, hating the thought of going back.
'At the end of this month,' she said, before saying goodbye and hanging up.
Syaoran groaned. Great. A huge decision.
I see Chapter 16!
Author's Notes: That was pointless. Well at least I thought it was. What do you think? Please R+R!!!!!
