Card Captor Sakura Fan Fiction ❯ Stay with me! ❯ In the cold of the night ( Chapter 8 )
Ohayo mina-san! How are you all? Good I expect. Well, let's go on to business shall we. Here are my thanks for this week:
Cherry-Lally - I didn't get your point, but I'm sorry if you didn't like anything in it.
Nadine - Oh but he does like his ex … for now of course. S+S forever.
LighthawkKnight - :( I know! I'll try not to do the same again!
Musicstarlover - Thank you for the review!
Xiao Mei - Arigatou again. And actually I'm a little Hentai too! ^_^
Type Zero - I'm going to ask you one little favour. I like all your reviews, but please say something more next time. Please!
Darkcherry - Yeah, English is my second language, but I think I'm not so good at it. I still need lots of practice. Thank you for your sweet review!
Virgo writer - Thank you! You were one of the few who answered my question and I will follow your advice.
Arrow-card - Hentai means Pervert, which says it all! Thanks for the review!
Aya-yahiko - Thank you again, you always lift my mood.
Mini Sweetie - I can't update it more often. I almost kill myself to be able to update once a week. And I read all of 'Little Wolf's' fics; I think they're great. About Sakura, I said on the first chapter that this is OOC (out of character), so she is able to behave that way, besides every girl at her age has curiosity. And Syaoran, saying that she is a hot babe doesn't mean that he likes her, he just finds her attractive. There's a big difference between physical attraction and love … a humongous difference. But thank you very mush for the review!
ARCHANGEMON - I wish everyone thought that way, but the truth is that I don't want to post bad written chapters either. I'll update once a week like usual, and thank you for the review.
Jennifer - I warned you people. Don't you ever read the Author's note? I didn't mean to be rude. Sorry. Thank you for the review!
Sakuralover - Thank you for the nice words. I'm glad you liked this chappie. Arigatou!
Pnaixr0se8 - Yeah Fujitaka is a nice dad; I wish everyone had one like that (not that I can complain about mine! ^_^). Thanks for the review!
ANIME COUPLES RULE - Thank you for putting me on your favourites list!
SaKuRa - Same goes to you. Thank you!
Jschu25 - Thank you too for the same above!
I'm very mad at you all! Only two answered to my question. Don't you read the author's note? Bad readers, bad!
I'm sorry if I wasn't able to reread the last two chapters, but I have a job you know? I have other things to do and it's already hard for me to post a chapter for week.

Chapter 8: In the cold of the night …
*By: NightAngel*
[Last Chapter]
"If every girl would give up everything for me, why didn't she? Tell me Sakura. Why did she leave me? Why? I loved her so much ... so much ..." - when I heard his words, my heart seemed to sink, lower than it had ever. And for the first time I realised something. I was in love with him.
I was in love with Xiao Lang Li!
[Last Chapter]
I looked down at him, seeing only his wonderful hair. I couldn't see him sad like this. I lifted his head to me, forcing him to look at me. - "Syaoran-kun!" - I said softly.
"I look pathetic don't I? Crying over a girl who dumped me. I should be strong and never cry … but I can't."
"Syaoran-kun you have to forget about her. A girl like that doesn't deserve you! Only a mindless bitch would leave a wonderful person like you, just because you had no money." - I looked deep into his eyes. I wanted him to understand. - "I would never do that Syaoran, ever. And you're better than that … that … woman who left you. Soon you'll find someone who will love you just the way you deserve. Maybe that person is closer than you imagine." - Those words just came out of my lips. I actually didn't think much of it. I bent down and kissed his left cheek, and I felt him blush. He looked so cute when he blushed. Well … he actually looks cute all the time …
"Thank you Sakura-chan. You're right. She's not worth it." - in return, he kissed both my cheeks and wiped my tears with his hand, making me blush. - "You look cute when you blush." - that only made me blush even more. He laughed for a while and got up, helping me make the same. - "Let's go! Time to sleep." - I started walking but I soon felt the ground off my feet, and I saw Syaoran carrying me al the way to my room. He smiled down at me, and I, too embarrassed to say or do anything, wrapped my arms around his neck and buried my head on the crock of his neck.
#Syaoran's P.O.V.#
I carried her upstairs to her bedroom, that was now mine too. «I swear this is very awkward. I mean, what would others think if they knew I was sleeping with a girl, who happened to be pregnant and no one knows who the father is? It scares me sometimes. Especially when I imagine all the awful things Touya is planning for me. (^_^)»
I placed her down on the pink bed. «Did I ever tell you that she loves pink? Just as much as I love green. All of her room is in pink and white, both are her favourite colours.»
I laid down beside her, and she hugged onto me tight. «Sometimes I wonder how can she trust me. I'm only a man after all! Just like the ones who did this to her. Those bastards! But deep down I know the answer. And no! It's not because I'm the hottest guy in the universe like those crazy chicks say at school. It's because of my aura. Yes my aura! Just like her aura is comforting for me, mine has the same effect on her. And don't ask me why. It just feels good to be able to feel her aura around mine, and vice-versa. Kero says it's because we have different magic sources. Mine is the moon, while hers is the stars, although she also receives some influence from the sun and the moon, thus her easiness around me.
Moon sources tend to be cold and more serious than others. While the sun ones are hyper and cheerful. But I guess Sakura is more of a sun than moon influenced sorcerer. Tomoyo often tells me how cheerful she was before. Ah Tomoyo! She's a great friend. I wish I had a best friend like that, but on the male version. Although she's also a good friend to me. Sometimes I feel that she's sad, but hides it the best she can. I gotta tell you that she's one great actress, but she can't fool me. I think she misses someone, but I don't have a clue of who that might be.» - I looked down at my arms.
«Sakura is already asleep. She looks like an angel you know? Of course you do, but ... change of subject. I'm tired, and I need sleep, which means, no more conversation with my inner imaginary friends (that's you readers! ^_^). Although this one was quite rational, unlike the others. Good night!»
........................
2 hours later:
I woke up suddenly, for no apparent reason. I groaned. «Can't I have a good night sleep?» It was then that I finally understood what had woke me up.
Sakura was grabbing onto me like if I was her lifeboat, whimpering in her sleep. - "Sakura-chan?" - I called out, thinking she was awake. But I got the biggest scare of my life when she yelled.
"NO! Get away! Leave me alone ..." - when I finally understood that she was, again, having one of those nightmares, I frowned.
I hugged her close to me and rocked her like a child. Little by little, her sobs started to stop. - "Sh! It's okay now. No one is going to hurt you anymore." - I said while still rocking her like a little baby that was afraid of the monster that were under the bed.
"Syao ..." - I felt her grip around me tighten, and I understood she was awake. She looked up at me with tears in her eyes, which I wiped away almost immediately. - "Don't leave me." - she buried her face on my shirt again, and for the first time I understood how vulnerable she was.
She trembled with fear, although she knew no one was there to hurt her, she cried although I tried my best to stop her. She was a child ... a child in need of affection and comprehension. Nothing more than that.
I hugged her very tight, but the tears, the sobs, the trembles and her tight grip remained, making me realise that it wouldn't be easy to make her forget about that night. Especially when she is now carrying a child inside of her.
It's true that she loved the child very much, but it's also true that the child will forever remind her of that fateful night.
I was snapped from my thoughts when she spoke between sobs.
"It hurts." - I caressed her hair and kissed it.
"Where does it hurt?" - I asked calmly, knowing the answer all to well.
"In the heart." - little by little her tremble stopped, and her tears were less frequent.
"Why don't you think on the good things, instead of the bad? You have a wonderful family. An amazing friend ..." - I was cut off when she finished the sentence for me.
"I have you ..." - my heart skipped very fast when she said that. And I didn't understand why. Why do I feel all fuzzy when I'm around her? - "You are right. Even that night ... brought me two good things. Two things I wouldn't give up on for anything." - she looked up at me again, and I couldn't help but smile at her.
"And what are those good things?" - if it wasn't so dark in the room, I could've swear she had blushed.
"The first one was you ... and the second one was the baby."
"I feel honoured to be mentioned in such an important list." - she giggled, and I felt happier because I had took her mind of the tragic things. - "I'm glad you don't regret keeping your baby. I'm sure you'll make a wonderful mother." - and with that, she was back to a frown.
"I'm not sure about that. I mean ... when she (the baby) starts asking for the father what am I supposed to say?" - I watched her closely as she fought back the tears. - "The baby will always remind me of that night." - the tears came flooding down her checks.
"You're still on time. You can abort if you want."
"NO! I will never do that, it's my baby also." - in the middle of all that yelling, she hugged me again. - "Do you think I'm wrong?" - she asked calmly.
"Of course not! But I would understand if you decided to abort. It's up to you to decide, don't let anyone else make that decision for you." - I could feel her relax, and I knew she was, once again, falling into deep slumber.
"She's a person and every person has the right to live, even if they are still inside another being." - and with that said she feel asleep.
I sighed relieved and laid her down on the bed, joining her soon in her sleep.

Three weeks later, 10 p.m.: (sorry for the time jump, but it's needed.)
Daidoujii Tomoyo, a 17 years-old girl with purple eyes and dark-grey long hair, walked across the street.
She was out this late because she needed fresh air, and was able to run out of home without anyone noticing it. Of course no one knew this side of her. She has always been the straight one, the nice one, the perfect one. But she also wanted some freedom, which was hard to get when you have 5 bodyguards after you 24/7.
Her mother owes a big toy company which makes her filthy rich, but that doesn't mean she's always happy.
#Tomoyo's P.O.V.#
Hello! I'm Daidoujii Tomoyo ... UPS! ... They have already introduced me up there ... Hehehehe ... Well, I'm out here for a nice night walk. I was tempted to go to Sakura's, but surely enough, she would call my mother and tell her where I was, thus revealing my secret. Yup! I run off of home every night. For what you ask ... for peace and freedom. Sounds stupid to you? Then try to be surrounded by bodyguards even when you go to the bathroom. Ok, maybe I'm exaggerating a little but ... It's totally annoying. I love my mother and all, but she overreacts a little bit about protection things.
And here I am, enjoying my bit of freedom for a while. I know I shouldn't be out here at this time but ... don't think I'm defenceless. No! I have a pocket knife and I sure know how to use it well.
"Tomoyo-chan? Are you Tomoyo Daidoujii?" (note that European use the first name first, unlike the Japanese.) - I turn around when I hear someone call my name. For once I'm scared that my mother noticed my absence and sent the bodyguards after me.
When I'm complexly turned over, I see a pair of deep blue eyes behind some glasses and messy dark blue hair in a boy about my age, but a lot taller.
"Yes? May I help you?" - I say calmly. Those eyes ... they seem familiar.
"I see you can't recognise me Tomoyo-chan." - he says with a grin. Now I'm sure I know him from somewhere.
"Why? Should I recognise you?" - Inwardly, my hand goes inside the pocket, and when my hand touches the pocket knife I fell safer.
"Have I changed that mush since I left, five years ago?" - suddenly I realise from where I know that grin, those eyes, that hair and those glasses.
"Eriol-kun?" - I asked, yet surprised.
"In the flesh!" - I should remain cool and calm and ... the hell with that.
I jumped on him, placing my arms around his neck.
"Eriol-kun, I missed you so much!" - and for the second time I lost my temper and cried out like never before. He was back ... the man I loved was back ...
Mwaaaaaaaaah! I'm evil! I'm sorry for the shortness of this chapter, but it was all I could do. Do not forget to REVIEW!
See you all next week. Bye, bye!

Next chapter: Eriol has came back for one reason only, and will be back to torture his cute little descent. ^_^
