Slipped away
Sakura Kinomoto-18 years old, emerald eyes and auburn hair. Cheery person and friendly. She's sometimes a klutz, but she's a strong person at heart.
This story all started when Sakura was just sitting in her desk, waiting for school to start. Then she heard an irritating voice (guess who everyone?!). "Hey sweet thang." Sakura rolled her eyes and looked up. "My names Sakura, not 'sweet thang'." Sakura said, trying to be calm. "Oh come on sweet thang, you know you want some of this." the figure bent down and was about to kiss her, but Sakura put her hand in front of her, so the figure kissed that instead. "No actually, I don't. So go away now, Hiiragizawa." Sakura spat.
Eriol Hiiragizawa-19 years old, blue hair and azure eyes, hott, and as you can tell, likes Sakura. ( He is SO OOC in this fic. -_-)
"Oh come on, I told you to call me Eriol, sweet thang." Eriol said, smiling. "I'd rather call you Hiiragizawa." "Oh fine...but can I ask you something?" "Go ahead." "Will you-" "No." Sakura said calmly, knowing what he was about to ask. "Could you at least give me a chance?" Eriol said, not giving up. "Hiiragizawa, I'm TAKEN, get that through your thick skull." Sakura said, emphasizing taken. "So? Just forget him." Eriol said simply. "I don't think so." a voice said. Eriol and Sakura looked and saw who the person was. Sakura smiled and Eriol frowned. "Your no fun Syaoran." Eriol said, now taking his seat.
Syaoran Li-19 years old, amber eyes and chestnut hair, hott, and cold toward many people...well yeah...of course not toward Sakura.
Syaoran frowned. "Its Li." He faced Sakura. "You okay, Saku?" Sakura smiled again and nodded. "Now I am." Syaoran returned her smile and went to sit down at his seat. "Okay everyone! We're beginning class now!" the teacher said. Everyone took their seats. "Now, open your textbooks to page 288..." and so he began his class and stuff...
(Oh! And this fic. started in the afternoon so I’m going to skip to after school!)
-After school-
Syaoran and Sakura was walking, hand-in-hand. "So what was that ass doing to you?" Syaoran asked. "Nothing, he was just doing what he usually does. Only today he just tried to kiss me." Sakura said. "You sure?" Syaoran asked, looking at her with concerned eyes. Sakura nodded. "All he did was hit on me Syao! Don't be so worried." Sakura said pouting. "But I want to...you’re my girlfriend after all..." Syaoran said, now moving his arm around her waist and holding her closer.
Yup that's right. Syaoran and Sakura are going out, three years to be exact.
"Well, I'm glad you care." Sakura said, now smiling. Then they reached her house. "Well I gotta go now Syao. I'll see you tomorrow." Sakura said. Syaoran nodded and gave her a peck on the cheek. "Love you." Syaoran said in her ear. Sakura giggled and gave him a peck on the cheek as well. "Love you too." and so they went their different ways.
-Sakura-
She closed the door behind her and sighed happily. 'Syaoran...' she went and changed in her room. Then when she went into the living room. She stopped and picked up a picture that she spotted. "I'm home..." Sakura whispered at the picture. The picture was her and her family all looking happy. 'Why did you all go...' Sakura thought sadly.
As you know her mother died when she was three. But then after that Touya died from cancer when she was twelve. So that left her with her dad. But when he went to a business trip, he never came back. The people called Sakura and told her that he died during his trip (she was fourteen when that happened.).
A crystal tear fell down her cheek. "I miss you..." she sniffled and wiped the tear away, placing back the picture. Then she found another one. It was her and Tomoyo together, happy like the last one.
Tomoyo died from pneumonia last year. So that only left her with Syaoran.
"I miss you too..." Sakura whispered as more tears fell. Then she placed the picture back and went on the couch, slowly falling into a deep slumber.
-Syaoran-
He was lying on his bed, being bored. 'Wonder what to do...' he thought. He got off the bed and started to just walk around the room. Then something caught his eye and he stopped. He picked up the object, opened it and smiled. 'Sakura...' What he saw was a velvet box, inside was a golden ring with a cherry blossom pendant. On the ring it read 'SSF', representing 'Syaoran and Sakura Forever'.
Yup. Syaoran's planning to propose to Sakura. But he thinks that now is too early. So he's planning to next year.
He smiled again, still holding on to the box. 'I promise that I will never leave your side. So as long as your with me...you won't be alone anymore.'
-Eriol-
"Damn Li." he muttered while taking a sip out of his drink. 'Its his fault that Sakura ain't in my arms right now. I have to do something.' he sighed and put the drink down. Then he got an idea. He rushed upstairs to his room. When he got there, he started browsing through his messy room. After a moment or two, or three, or four, or whatever, he stopped, which meant he found what he was searching for. 'There it is.' he smiled evilly to himself. 'You will be mine by tomorrow...my sweet cherry blossom...' and with that he laughed like a mad man...haha.
:THE NEXT DAY!: (do you think I'm rushing this a little? I'm sorry...o.o" but it'll be worth it! I promise! I hope...-.-)
"I'm late...I'm late...I'm late...I'm late..." Sakura mumbled to herself, now running like the wind. Finally, she reached her school. She rushed to her room and opened the door. "Your late, Kinomoto-chan." her teacher said. "Gomen-nasai sensei..." Sakura said, looking at the floor. "Don't worry about it and take your seat. " her teacher said casually. "Hai!" Sakura said quickly, now going to her seat. "So as I was saying..." the teacher continued on with her lecture. As she was listening, a note landed on her desk. Sakura picked it up and slowly unfolded it. It read:
Hey sweet thang,
Wonderin' if you'd like to talk to me later. Whaddya say?
-Eriol :P
Sakura frowned and looked where Eriol was, who was smiling. Then she wrote something and gave it back to him. Eriol opened the note quickly and read over it. After he read it he frowned. at she had written back was:
I'm sorry but no, knowing you, your going to do something bad to me. :/
Eriol took his pencil, wrote in it again, and threw it at Sakura's desk. When Sakura got it, she unfolded it again and read it. After reading, she gave him a questionable look. He wrote:
Oh you got it all wrong sweet thang. I'm not going to do something bad to you. You can even bring Li over to make sure of it.
Someone tapped Sakura's shoulder so she turned around, now facing Syaoran. He mouthed 'Can I see it?' Sakura looked at the note then at him, and nodded. She handed the note over to him to let him read. He unfolded it carefully and read what was inside. After reading, he cocked up an eyebrow and looked at Sakura. Sakura only shrugged. This time Syaoran wrote something in the note. Then he gave it back to Eriol. Eriol read it and smiled. Though they didn't notice that it was an evil one. What Syaoran wrote was:
Fine we'll go. But don't you dare do anything to her. >:l
-DIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNG!-
"Oh! Class is dismissed." their teacher said. Everyone got their things and headed out for their next class.
-In the hall-
Sakura and Syaoran caught up with Eriol at his locker. "What did you want Hiiragizawa?" Syaoran asked as soon as the met up with him. "Oh, that won't be now Li. Lets make it after school shall we?" Eriol said in his mysterious voice. "Okay..." Sakura said, sighing in relief. Syaoran was relieved as well, though he didn't show it. "Well I gotta go to my class now. I'll see you later Syaoran." Sakura said. Syaoran nodded. "See you later." and so she left the two boys. "You must be lucky to have her...you know?" Eriol said. Syaoran just ignored him. "Too bad its all going to end." Eriol said in a quiet voice, but Syaoran heard. "What?" he asked. Eriol just smiled and shook his head. "We should go to our class as well, right?" Eriol said, now changing the subject. Syaoran ignored him and went to their next class. Eriol smirked and followed him...
-Fast forwarding to lunch!!-
Sakura came outside with her lunch in hand, finding a place to sit. "Sakura-chan!" Sakura turned to see Eriol, waving his hand. "Well that’s a first, not calling me sweet thang..." Sakura said out loud, giving him a stare. "Well there’s a first time in everything now is there?" Eriol said, smiling. "Come on, eat with me." he said, giving her a gesture to come sit by him. She was about to reject, but he spoke again. "I'm not taking no for an answer." Sakura was about to say something again, until a voice popped up. "Just ignore him Sakura." Eriol growled.
Sakura turned around and found Syaoran standing there, with his lunch. Eriol stopped growling and instantly started smiling. "Would you like to sit with us as well?" Eriol asked um...politely. "Thanks, but no thanks Hiiragizawa." Syaoran said dully. "Oh come on...please?" Eriol said, plastering a very fake, yet sad face. Syaoran ignored it but Sakura bought it, her eyes softening. "Let's just sit with him once, Syaoran. He’s desperate..." Sakura said to Syaoran. Syaoran sighed in defeat. "Okay." Sakura smiled, took his hand in hers and both went to sit by Eriol.
And so silence befell the three while eating. And guess who broke the silence? "Um..." Syaoran mumbled, breaking the silence (haha). "Hm?" Sakura asked now facing him. Syaoran just shook his head. "Never mind." Syaoran mumbled again.
-DIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNG!-
"Oh! There’s the bell! I gotta go to class now." Sakura said, getting up. The other two got up as well. "Okay..." Syaoran said. "Bye Sakura-chan." Eriol smiled. Sakura didn't hear him because she was already gone. Syaoran glared at him and went to his next class as well. Eriol just kept that cheery smile on his have and went to his class...
-After class!!!!-
As soon as school was over, Syaoran and Sakura went looking for Eriol through the school. After a minute or so they found him, wondering around with his hands in the pockets of his sweater. Then his eyes landed on the two. "So I see you've arrived." Eriol said. "What do you want?" Sakura whispered.
There was silence.
"Well..." Eriol said slowly, removing a hand from his pocket. When his hand was fully exposed, the two gasped. There they found him holding a shiny silver gun in his hand. "The thought of you two still being together sickens me." Eriol said in a shaky voice. "And so I'm going to end it." Eriol lifted up the gun and pointed it at Sakura. Syaoran held Sakura in a protective embrace and held her close. "You are not going to hurt her!" Syaoran said angry. "Syaoran, Syaoran, Syaoran...don't you remember the note? Its not her that I'm after..." Eriol pointed the gun at Syaoran now. "Its you..." Eriol said, still in his shaky voice.
-Na na...na na na na na...-
Sakura gasped and broke free from Syaoran's embrace to face him. "Why?" Sakura asked, scared. "Why? WHY?!" Eriol shouted. "Its because I love you!!Can't you see that?! But its Syaoran's fault that you aren't with me. And so he shall pay." His hand was shaking. "Sakura..." Syaoran whispered. "Hai?" Sakura asked. "Go..." Syaoran said. Sakura just stood there, staring at him with wide eyes. "But..." "JUST GO!!!" Syaoran shouted. Sakura shook her head. "I'm not going to leave you..." She hugged him as tears came down her face.
-I miss you
Miss you so bad
I don't for get you
Oh its so sad...-
Syaoran wanted to cry as well, but the tears just wouldn't come out. Sakura slowly let go and looked up. Syaoran smiled and brushed her cheek with his thumb. "It'll be okay, I promise." Sakura sniffled and nodded. "Aw, how touching..." Eriol said in a sarcastic voice. Syaoran faced him. "Hiiragizawa, put the gun down..." Syaoran said, trying to be calm. "Why would I listen to you?" "Look we can talk about this..." "NO!! There’s nothing to talk about! So stop trying to make me stop!" Eriol shouted. "There’s nothing now that can stop me...NOTHING!!" Eriol was shaking violently.
-I hope you can hear me
I remember it clearly-
"Come on Sakura." Syaoran said, turning around about to walk away. Sakura nodded and was about to walk too but then...Syaoran gasped and fell on his knees. "Syaoran?" Sakura walked a little back and gasped, terrified. She saw blood coming down his back. Syaoran turned his slowly. "Eriol...you bastard..." Syaoran said in a harsh tone before falling on the hard cold tiled floor. "SYAORAN!!!!!!!!" Sakura screamed, going down to her knees and putting his head on her lap.
-The day...you...slipped away
Was the day...I found it won't be the same...oh...-
"Syaoran...don't go...please..." Sakura whispered shakily. "Sa...Sa...Sakura..." Syaoran whispered. "Syaoran!" Sakura said, a little happier. "There’s not much time..." Syaoran said in a more clear voice. "Go into my pocket...there’s something there for you..." Sakura obeyed and got what was in his pocket. It was a box. "Open it..." She did as she was told and gasped. "Syaoran...when did you...?" "Well I don't really remember how it got in my pocket...but I realized that it was there during class today..." Syaoran's voice was getting weaker by the second.
-Na na...na na na na na...-
"I...I don't know what to say..." Sakura was speechless. "You don't have to say anything..." Syaoran said. 'I'm sorry I couldn't keep my promise Sakura...' he thought. "I'll miss you..." Sakura looked down at him and tears started to come flowing down her face. "Don't say that! You'll get through it... I know you will...just hang on a little longer..." Sakura whispered. "I'm sorry...but I gotta go..." He gave a weak smile. "Sakura...I...I...I love y-" but before he could finish, he fainted. Sakura gasped and more hot tears came down. "SYAORAN!!!!!!!Come back!!!" her tears fell on his face.
-I didn't get around to kiss you
Goodbye on the hand
I wish that I could see you again
I know that I can't...oh...-
Eriol just watched this scene in shock. 'He was gonna...he was gonna...and I...oh hell...what have I done?' He dropped the gun and fell on his knees. He now was the one crying...
The week after the incident, everyone found out and reported it to the police, the police went and found Eriol, and so they put him in jail. And that’s where it brings us now...
"...so does anyone have anything to say?" The priest asked the crowd. "I do." a voice said. The priest nodded as she came up forward. "Go right ahead Sakura-chan." She looked down as they were bringing down the coffin. "I would like to say a thank you to him...for all the happy times we shared together..."
-I hope you can hear me
Cause I remember it clearly-
"I'd also like to thank him for supporting me whenever I was alone...he was the one who comforted me the most...I miss him."
-The day...you...slipped away
Was the day...I found it won't be the same...oh...-
"Is that all?" "Iie. I have one more thing to say..."Sakura looked down again. "I love you...Syaoran..." "Thank you, Sakura-chan." She nodded and returned to the crowd.
-I've had my wake up
Won't you wake up
I keep asking why-
While the priest continued talking, Sakura continued staring at the coffin.
-And I can't take it
It wasn't fake
It happened, you passed by-
Tears formed her eyes. 'I wish you didn't go...'
-Now you're gone
Now you're gone
There you go
There you go
Somewhere I can't bring you back-
'And I wish that you would come back...'
-Now you're gone
Now you're gone
There you go
There you go
Somewhere your not coming back...-
And so when it was fully down, they buried it with dirt.
-The day...you...slipped away...
Was the day...I found it won't be the same...-
'I can't take it anymore...I can't watch...' She ran from the crowd and just ran straight home. When she got home she went straight to her room, plopping down on it. She lifted up her hand and smiled a little. She was wearing the ring that Syaoran gave her before he...you know...
-The day...you slipped away
Was the day...I found it wont be the same...oh...-
At night she tossed and turned, trying to get comfortable. Lately its been happening to her...Then she finally found a comfortable position. A tear fell from her eye just like earlier. 'I'm all alone now...there’s no friends anymore...there’s no reason to live anymore...because there’s no more Syaoran...' and she cried herself to sleep.
-Na na...na na na na na...
I miss you...-
The End
