Syaoran-kun! Believe me!

 

Syaoran-kun¡KPlease¡KBelieve¡KMe¡K

 

Syaoran let out a gasp. He nearly pulled out his hair all the way in failure of trying not to think of that horrid night. Yes, THAT night. The words kept humming in his head like never-lasting bumble bees. Syaoran-kun¡KBelieve me¡K

 

Flashback~**

 

¡§Syaoran-kun! Let¡¦s go to the amusement park together!¡¨ A green-eyed, cute little girl appeared suddenly out of nowhere. Syaoran jumped practically 8 feet in the air as he noticed who it was. When he had regained his conscience, he sighed tiredly.

 

¡§What for¡K?¡¨ Even though he was partially happy, he didn¡¦t want to admit it. He was about 12 years old at this time, and was trying to act mature. ( Like he always was)

 

The green-eyed angel smiled sweetly. ¡§My father gave me two tickets! So I had to go with somebody!¡¨ She looked so beautiful that Syaoran tried hard not to blush.

 

¡§Why did you pick me to go with you¡K?¡¨ Syaoran gave himself a mental kick. Why am I always so mean to her¡K?! Why can¡¦t I just say what I want to say!?

 

She smiled again. ¡§Because you¡¦re one of my best friends!¡¨ Why is she so happy¡K? Why can she¡K? But¡KIt does seem like years since I had a friend-a best friend, that is. Syaoran thought of his years before, when his friend had ditched him, and when his parents had forced him to kill an innocent girl. But it¡¦s all past now, Syaoran reminded himself, trying hard not to physically hit himself. Sakura kinomoto¡K you¡¦re the one who taught me¡K

 

¡§Fine¡KSince I have nothing to do, I¡¦ll go with you.¡¨ Syaoran cringed at how cold his voice sounded. But Sakura didn¡¦t seem to notice at all. All she did was smile again, and smile again¡K How can she smile that much¡K? He vowed to smile at least 4 times at their date.

 

At the amusement park~**

 

¡§Syaoran-kun! Come over here!! Let¡¦s ride this roller coaster!¡¨ Sakura was having fun so much. Syaoran forced himself to smile and replied, ¡§I¡¦m coming!¡¨ He ran to Sakura, and went inside the seats of the roller coaster. There was a lot of people there. Obviously, this ride is really popular.

 

¡§I am so happy!¡¨ Sakura said to Syaoran. He just smiled and nodded. Okay¡KThis is 2 times¡KJust a little more¡KHey, but at least I¡¦m with Sakura. The roller coaster started. Engine sputtering, it dashed all over the place.

 

¡§Kyaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!¡¨ Sakura suddenly screamed and grabbed onto Syaoran. It was on a very steep hill. Syaoran was blushing so hard, he thought he was on fire. But he didn¡¦t even protest as Sakura held onto his arm on the whole ride. When I think about it¡KThis is just a lost memory¡K When the ride was over, Sakura finally loosened her hold on his arm and got off. Syaoran followed.

 

When they were resting by the bench, Sakura started to blush, and say with her innocent eyes present, ¡§I¡¦m sorry, Syaoran-kun about the ride. ¡KWas it bothering?¡¨ Syaoran blushed. It was embarrassing, but he didn¡¦t exactly hate it either. All he could manage out of his mouth was, ¡§It¡¦s ok¡KIt didn¡¦t bother me.¡¨

 

¡§I¡¦m so sorry! But I¡¦m glad you¡¦re aren¡¦t mad.¡¨ Sakura smiled so beautifully and sweetly that Syaoran had to turn away from her to hide his blushing face. Suddenly Sakura¡¦s face lit up. ¡§Hey! Syaoran-kun! Let¡¦s ride the Ferris wheel!¡¨ She looked so eager that Syaoran couldn¡¦t think up a protest to that. ¡§Fine¡K¡¨ He agreed, reluctantly. Sakura smiled and grabbing his arm, started guiding him towards the Ferris wheel. They got on a pink and green striped one. Both were silent. They were enjoying the scene below them. Since it was practically night, the scenes looked so beautiful they couldn¡¦t be described. The rides glittered, and everywhere, it was just too¡K pretty¡K

 

¡§Syaoran-kun¡K?¡¨ Sakura nearly whispered, turning to look at Syaoran. He slowly turned his amber head away from the tiny window. ¡§Yeah¡K?¡¨ Sakura sighed. ¡§The Ferris wheel makes me remember things¡K Don¡¦t you remember the time when we first met? I remember it so clearly¡K¡¨ Syaoran stayed silent. ¡§Nee¡KWhat if we never met¡K? What if you never came to kill me¡K? I would never have known anything about life¡K¡¨ That¡¦s a total lie! You taught me everything¡K! You¡KYou¡K ¡§And about the way I feel now¡K¡¨ She suddenly stopped smiling and looked like she was going to cry. ¡§Syaoran-kun¡Kdaisuki-yo¡K¡¨ Syaoran almost jumped out of his seat. But then he faced the window. The scenes were so beautiful¡K Without turning his head, he said, ¡§ Sakura¡K I¡K I¡K¡¨ He couldn¡¦t get the right words out. He has never done this before. I can¡¦t tell how much I love her by just words¡K! That¡¦s not enough! But before he could even speak even one word, a cry from below interrupted his thoughts. He didn¡¦t know then that this cry will change his life forever¡K

 

¡§What¡¦s wrong!?¡¨ Sakura asked. She came out of the Ferris wheel, and went to the crowd of people around somebody. Syaoran was straining to see what had happened. Some people in a group were crying, but some people¡Kwere screaming. What has happened? Syaoran managed to move in from a bundle of people. Sakura screamed. It was a person drenched in blood. Syaoran just stared at the lifeless body. What has caused all this? He glanced all around him. Suddenly staring into an evil, yellow eye, Syaoran let out a gasp. A clow card¡K!

 

¡§Syaoran-kun!!¡¨ Sakura was so surprised that she couldn¡¦t keep her mouth shut. She was so blinded by fear. ¡§What is this card¡K? Ne, Syaoran-kun, what is¡K?¡¨ He didn¡¦t know either. This wasn¡¦t just a normal card. All the cards he¡¦d seen are mostly animals or women. However, this beastly creature didn¡¦t seem like out of ordinary. Before Syaoran could even think again, he was struck heavely by this monstrous mammal. Straggering backwards, he wiped his mouth. Blood. What kind of clow card is this? What is it¡K? Syaoran started to move in on the creature.

 

¡§No stop!¡¨ A voice. Sakura¡¦s voice. Before he could react, the creature did a tremendous yell, and did a fire ball, knocking everyone out of conscious. Everyone, meaning everyone that had developed a circle around Sakura and Syaoran. Now they were lying around, unmoving. And Sakura got into gear. She did her magic spell. It hit the beast, making it cry out in pain. But just when Syaoran thought it over, the beast got up and did his fire ball to Sakura. She covered herself, but felt no harm. Then she noticed why. Syaoran had blocked her from the hit, so he was lying on the floor, gasping for breath. There was blood all over him. Sakura let out a yelp, and went flying to Syaoran. ¡§Syaoran-kun!¡¨ She looked so worried that all Syaoran could think was that she was beautiful¡K ¡§I¡¦m okay¡KJust a little bruise here and there.¡¨ He said, forcing himself to stand up. He rubbed his eyes. Then he got ready for the battle.

 

The monster was closing in on him. He better be ready! The monster, who was trying to hit, suddenly stopped. This was Syaoran¡¦s chance. He was going to hit the monster with his mighty sword, but was stopped by a voice. A voice that was pleading¡K¡¨Syaoran-kun! No! It¡¦s me, Sakura!¡¨ The monster yelled helplessly. Syaoran¡¦s eyes narrowed and glared at it. ¡§What are you trying to do!? You think you can fool me huh!? Why you¡KHow dare you try to fool me to believe what is untrue!!¡¨ Now Syaoran¡¦s eyes were so dark that it seemed like night was falling. ¡§No¡K! Syaoran kun! Believe me! It¡¦s me, Sakura! Don¡¦t you recognize me? Please believe me!¡¨ The monster was desperately pleading to him. Syaoran was fuming. ¡§That¡¦s it!! You asked for it!¡¨ He quickly shot his sword up¡K¡¨Syaoran-kun¡K! Please¡KBelieve¡K¡¨ The sword cut the horrid monster apart, revealing everything, his blood, organs, and everything¡KIncluding a strand of golden hair.

 

As the dust cleared, Syaoran was met with a horrifying sight. He stared blankly at a beautiful woman with a long, slender dress, and Sakura lying on the floor, blood coming everywhere. She was in terrible state. Was this some kind of illusion¡K? Syaoran¡¦s mind was on a turmoil. But then he came to reality, the horrible truth that lie in front of him. I killed her¡KI killed the one that I had loved¡KI¡KI¡KI killed Sakura! He couldn¡¦t believe his eyes. Tears started to flow down his cheeks, first slowly, but more rapidly as it increased. I didn¡¦t even get to say anything to her¡K! I didn¡¦t even get to tell her how thankful I am¡KHow she told me what was most important¡KSyaoran fell on his knees, hurting his knee caps. But he didn¡¦t care. He didn¡¦t care at all. All he could do was mourn. He just sat there, tears dropping on to Sakura¡¦s lifeless body. I didn¡¦t even tell her¡KI love her¡KAt this, Syoaran started gasping for breath. I¡¦m sorry for all the troubles I¡¦ve caused¡KI¡¦m sorry I wasn¡¦t more nice to you¡KI¡¦m sorry¡K As he mourned, he blindly got his hands on his sword and raised it to his chest. Sakura¡KSakura¡KYou told me never to kill yourself. You told me to never do anything so selfish¡KYou got so mad and cried¡KThe first time I¡¦ve seen you cry¡KAnd told me to not waste my life so quickly¡KThat I was just treating it as a toy¡KYou¡¦ll probably get mad at me¡KBut I¡¦m not doing this just for mercy¡KI just want to tell you how I feel¡KAnd to meet you¡KBecause I want to¡K

 

End Flashback~**

 

Since then, 100 years have passed. He was put on a curse that made him live forever¡KIt was probably a punishment from God¡KSo Syaoran was still alive. Syaoran-kun¡K! Please believe me¡K! Please¡K! Syaoran¡Kkun¡K This memory will haunt him now and forever more¡KI love you Sakura¡KAishiteru¡KAlways have and always will¡KBut it hurts me that I won¡¦t be able to see you again¡KTo see your laughing face¡KYour innocent laugh¡KYour everything¡KIt¡¦s even worse than not being able to die! When will I ever see you again¡K?

 

~The End~

 

So~how was it? I read it over, and somehow, it well¡KI guess it was okay, but I know it sorta sucked. So I won¡¦t be mad. But try not to put that much flames! I¡¦m sorta depressed because my other story had so little review. Now, people who were confused with the story. Well, I don¡¦t want to give it away, but shucks, it was an illusion card that did all this. It was a depressing story, but I hope you enjoyed it~! Oh yeah, thank you Suzanna for helping me on this story. Hey! Quit laughing! It wasn¡¦t your entire idea! ¡KWell, getting back to MY story, I enjoyed writing it, and hope you did too! Have a nice day~(^-^
