Disclaimer:I don't own CCS, Clamp does. Don't sue! Um, this story has Silver Star and Fiery as substitutes for Yue and Kero. I never stole any ideas from the stories of Pern. In addition to the song, "Can You Feel The Love Tonight?" it was sung by Elton John in "The Lion King" so it was never my creation.
Author's Note: KAWAII ALERT IN THIS CHAPTER! IF YOU DON"T LIKE S+S MUSHINESS, I'M TELLING YOU NOW TO MISS MOST OF THIS CHAPTER! THIS CHAPPIE IS MY FAV!!!!! TOTALLY FULL OF S+S SWEETNESS!!!!! (Peoples, don't worry, I've just got a little excited about my latest chapter. It's really sweet. Well I'll let you decide.) Also, I would like to add that I am making this chapter longer for all the S+S fans out there. And for the people who mentioned it, I didn't copy Lord Of The Rings for the Prologue. It was an original idea. SpaceRanger, in this story Eriol and Fujitaka aren't the clow reincarnate but they know that Sakura has the cards. Eriol is just an average guy, but Fujitaka was the head of the Kinomoto Clan.
Mystical Ying and Yang
Chapter 4: Returning Home
Waking up in her pink bed, Sakura arose to change into something suitable. Going to the closet that contained all the clothes Tomoyo has chosen for her, she picked out a red turtleneck with a black skirt that had cherry blossoms embroidered on the edge. Changing into that, she tied up her loose hair into a ponytail and applied some lip-gloss. Humming on her way to the kitchen, she started making waffles and tea.
Waking up at sunrise, Syaoran changed into a green shirt and black baggy pants and started exploring. Up and down the corridors, peering into every room. Coming from the kitchen, he heard humming so realising that Sakura was awake; he strode in and plonked himself on a stool. Grabbing some waffles while Sakura sipped her tea, Syaoran greeted her.
"Good morning," he mumbled as he munched on the warm waffles.
"Good morning to you too, Syaoran." she replied.
As silence reined the room, Sakura asked suddenly, "Why did you attack me? You know the day we met?"
Watching his face she noticed a hard expression come on it.
"I was scouting ahead, looking for a new clan's land to conquer. Also I was looking for something," was what he said.
"Why? Why can't you live peacefully in a territory of your own? And are you talking about the Clow Cards? They're Sakura Cards now so you can't take them!" exclaimed Sakura, a bit upset.
Finishing his waffles, he looked straight at her and said, " Why we conquer land is our own business. And for your last question, I don't want the Clow Cards."
As he left the table and strode outside, Sakura put down her teacup and followed him.
Seeing his face as he walked on, she grabbed his hand and pulled him saying, "Come on you, sour puss, let's have some fun!" and then the two of them ran up the path, Syaoran lagging behind because he was being dragged.
*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
A little bit later on in the day�
As he hid behind the tree, Syaoran went crazy when he felt fingers on his sides tickling him.
"SAKURA!" he yelled, trying to twist around.
Giggles replied as the fingers tickled him even more.
Somehow grasping her hands even under a tickle attack, he removed the hands and held on to the person behind him. Turning around, he gave Sakura a glare and said, "It's your turn now!" before letting go of her wrists.
Closing his eyes and counting, Syaoran let Sakura sneak off to hide. They were playing hide & seek, which Syaoran secretly enjoyed.
"55, 56, 57, 58, 59� 60! Ready or not here I come!" he crowed, intent on revenge.
A whisper of a giggle came from a willow tree.
*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
Totally hidden under the weeping willows trailing branches, Sakura couldn't see Syaoran anywhere. Letting out a small giggle when she heard Syaoran was ready, she sat there and waited.
Approaching the girl, Syaoran smirked while he admired her. A lithe body, shiny auburn hair, eyes like emeralds and a heart of gold. Yep, that what she was. Silently, he mercilessly tickled her.
Eyes wide open; Sakura craned her head to see Syaoran smirking at her. Laughing from the tickling sensations, she tried to pull away. Underestimating her strength, Syaoran was pulled along, and as she tried to get away, he tripped over a root.
Tripping, he fell onto Sakura. As their faces loomed closer, Syaoran looked into her eyes and was captivated. Unable to look away from those amber eyes, Sakura unknowingly let her face come closer.
Seeing her come closer, he let his instincts lead him. Leaning closer, he captured her soft lips in a yielding kiss. (KAWAIIIIII!!!!)
As she felt Syaoran's warm lips on hers, all thoughts went out of Sakura's head as she deepened the kiss. Wrapping her arms around his neck, while he pulled her closer by the hips, they enjoyed the sweet kiss.
Letting each other go eventually, Syaoran rolled off Sakura and lay there, panting. Then seeing Sakura's face loom up, he blushed and mumbled "Sorry," before looking away.
Puzzled by his actions, Sakura asked him a question.
"Do you love me?" looking into his eyes for some sign.
Turning his face to look at her, he said, "I think I'm falling for you�" before staring at the green shelter surrounding them.
Smiling softly, she replied, "I think I'm falling for you too�" before covering his lips with hers.
As they two kissed, it started raining suddenly. Feeling the rain on his arm, Syaoran smiled as they parted from the rain. Smiling down, he grinned roguishly and scooped her up in his arms before running under the green trailing leaves.
Just as Sakura was enjoying the pleasure of Syaoran's lips, she felt something wet drip on her. Parting from the kiss, she looked puzzled as Syaoran smiled at her. Then hurriedly grabbed hold of her close in his arms, Syaoran sprinted down the path. Giggling, she looked up at him.
Smiling down at the Mistress of The Cards, he stopped at the varandah of the cottage. As he let her down, she laughed and commented to him.
"We're soaking wet!" before leaving him on the porch soaking as she headed towards the showers. Trying to wring some water out of his clothes, he also head to the showers. Taking some comfortable clothes from the pile on the table, he entered the shower.
*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
Coming out from that heart-warming shower, dressed in jeans and a dark grey shirt Syaoran searched for Sakura. Seeing she wasn't in the house, he exited the cottage and following cherry blossom scents in the fading light, he came upon an enchanting sight.
In a hidden alcove, covered with cherry blossom trees, was a little stream that ran right through it. Over the trickling aqua water, was a red elaborate bridge. Nearby an over hanging cherry blossom tree, had a long steady branch overhanging part of the small stream.
Climbing on the branches, he heard a light creaking, and looked down. There was the prettiest Cherry Blossom he had ever seen. Sakura sat on the long wooden swing, deep in thought. Wearing a long dress that went to her ankles, it was a white and when looking at it carefully, it would shimmer.
Jumping down from the branch, he snuck up on her and kissed her on the cheek. (KAWAIII!!!!)
There's a calm surrender
To the rush of day
When the heat of the rolling world
Can be turned away
An enchanted moment
And it sees me through
It's enough for this restless warrior
Just to be with you
"Mmmmmm�" was all she said.
Sitting down next the holder of his heart, he held her waist with his arm and held onto the thick rope for balance. Turning her head towards him he captured her lips in his.
And can you feel the love tonight?
It is where we are
It's enough for this wide-eyed wanderer
That we go this far
And can you feel the love tonight
How it's laid to rest?
It's enough to make kings and vagabonds
Believe the very best
Falling into the loving kiss, Sakura kissed him softly and withdrew, leaning her head on his shoulder. As the two watched the sunset, Sakura asked him again.
"Do you love me?" she asked, snuggling in his arms.
"Yes, do you?" Syaoran whispered in her ear.
There's a time for everyone
If they only learn
That the twisting kaleidoscope
Moves us all in turn
There's a rhyme and reason
To the wild outdoors
When the heart of this star-crossed voyager
Beats in time with yours
"Of course," said Sakura before kissing him soundly on the lips.
And can you feel the love tonight?
It is where we are
It's enough for this wide-eyed wanderer
That we go this far
And can you feel the love tonight
How it's laid to rest?
It's enough to make kings and vagabonds
Believe the very best
It's enough to make kings and vagabonds
Believe the very best
Letting him go, she fell asleep on his warm chest, after a long day. Looking at the now dark sky, Syaoran spotted a shooting star and asked a question.
"Will we be together forever?"
Then he took the cherry blossom in his arms and carried her off to bed.
*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
Waking up in her bed the next morning, Sakura moaned.
Hearing chuckles, she looked towards the door. Seeing Syaoran there, leaning comfortably on the doorway, she threw a pillow his way. Ducking his head, he said "I've made breakfast already," before he headed out to the hallway.
Mumbling to herself, Sakura dragged herself out of bed and into the shower. After a quick cold shower, she changed into a white blouse with a cherry blossom embroidered in the corner and a pink skirt the swayed as she moved. Letting her hair loose, she hummed a cheerful song on her way to the kitchen.
Munching on the toast Syaoran had made, they two of then spent breakfast in silence except for a statement that Sakura made.
"We have to go back to the clan. I have to see if everything fine," as she sipped her warm coffee on that early cold morning.
Then after the two of them had finished their breakfast, cleaned up and tidied the house, they headed outside to the gigantic wooden gate.
Slipping through, Syaoran saw Silver Star waiting patiently. Climbing on to the slippery silver mount, he sat behind Sakura and wrapped his arms around her slim waist. Letting Silver launch off the pad, he enjoyed the familiar rush when a dragon takes off. Darting and twisting, Silver glided along the narrow cliffs that hid the paradise from the world.
*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
Landing at the quiet clan platform, Sakura jumped off Silver to find a hot jet of flame shoot towards her. Staring as it came closer to her, she acted as if paralysed. Syaoran, acting quickly, also jumped from Silver Star and carried Sakura away from the heat.
Recovering, Sakura was shocked when two strange dragons landed on the platform. One was a crystal female with a red figure on it's back and another one was a pitch-black male with only a saddle on. As Sakura felt Syaoran let go of her waist, she watched as he approached the black. Then suddenly, a jet of flames shot towards him and Sakura watched in apprehension as it stopped short in front of him and then uttered a shriek. Then the unfamiliar phoenix landed on Syaoran's shoulder and he continued his approach to the black.
Then Sakura totally forgot about Syaoran for a second when Fiery zoomed out from the caves and started screeching. Then the other phoenix started paying attention to Fiery and it left Syaoran's shoulder to land on the platform, starting a long noisy conversation with Fiery.
Hearing a human shriek, Sakura quickly looked back to Syaoran where the red figure was attached to his arm for the moment.
"XIAO LANG!" screamed the red figure.
"Meilin, shut up," was all that Syaoran said as he continued to draw near to the black. Shaking her off, he moved his hands all over the black as he finally caressed the head as it bungled happily.
"It's his dragon� the one that attacked me." Sakura thought to herself.
As the girl latched herself onto his arm again, they started a heated discussion that Sakura could hear very well.
"You have to come back to the clan!" the girl whined.
"I can't� I'm a hostage," said Syaoran, shooting a glance towards Sakura.
Taking a step back in astonishment and releasing his arm, she looked at Sakura with venom in her eyes.
"Let Xiao Lang go!" said Meilin.
Sighing, Sakura said, "How about we talk about this in my father's den," before she walked away.
Letting her guide, Syaoran pushed Meilin in front of him and they followed her.
*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
"You can go if you promise that your clan will become allies with us," said Sakura her face blank.
"Do you accept? Or decline?" she asked, looking at Syaoran.
"We accept," he said, glaring at Meilin who looked as if she was going to object.
Smiling a little, Sakura added, "Well you can join us in celebrations if you want to participate," as Syaoran said,
"I'll keep that in mind."
Then as she led them back to their mounts and watched them mount, a tear trickled down her face. Quickly wiping it away, she waved as the two and the phoenix flew away.
Thinking to herself, she said, "Was it all a spring fling?" before she retired back to her room in her clan.
Was it all a spring fling, really? Chapter 5
