LAKE OF DREAMS

By: Eternal Serenity

CHAPTER 8: The kiss

I woke up to the sound of birds chirping and the sun rays peeking through one of the windows. I rubbed my eyes open and tried to remember where I was. I took in my surroundings and looked around the room. I couldn't really remember what had happened the night before, but I do have a faint memory of being in a house and....

I moved slightly and felt a soft feminine body pressed against mine. I blushed, and looked down slowly and saw the most beautiful angel lying there. I felt my heart beat skip at the sight of her sleeping on my chest, and heard her steady but soft breathing. Her auburn hair was in a tangled mess, and it shone lightly with the sun's brightness. I just stared at her in wonder, and smiled faintly. She was so beautiful...

I had the sudden urge to stroke her auburn hair, and to hold her close to me. I wanted to stroke her face, and I couldn't help the wandering fingers that already had reached to touch her delicate face on their own. I just couldn't help myself. As soon as I felt her skin come in contact with mine, I felt my body shudder.

Touching her face was more than mere skin touching skin. Touching her face was like heaven. I felt my heart burst with such an intensity of love, and I knew right then there that she was the only one for me. I smiled warmly and continued to gaze down at my angel.

~*~*~*~*~*~

I felt like I was drowning...drowning deeper and deeper into the water. I couldn't see anything anymore, and my vision was so blurry. I felt my breath come in gasps and I know that sooner or later I would breathe my last breath of life and leave this world. I felt myself drowning deeper, and I couldn't move my legs anymore, as if I lost my will to live. I held my belly protectively, and tried to ease the pain of my unborn child. I closed my eyes slowly, and breathed my last breath...until I suddenly see a hand reaching down to save me and my child....and then I felt my world turn black...

I felt my tears coming...this was too painful to imagine. This was the first time I had this dream, but it felt like it really happened, and that it wasn't only a part of my imagination. It felt like it really happened in another time and place. I woke up suddenly and breathed hard. I still felt the wetness my tears made, and I wiped them slowly with the back of my hand.

I looked up and I see Syaoran asleep with a smile on his face. My heart softened at the sight of him. I slowly reached up to touch his face as a way to take my fears away.

~*~*~*~*~*~

I was still half asleep when I felt soft fingers brush my face slowly with tentative strokes. At first I thought that I was dreaming, but then when I opened my eyes I see Sakura looking up at me with tears in her eyes. I got up suddenly with a worried expression on my face.

"Sakura...what's wrong?" I asked with worry.

She in turn just stared back at me while tears slowly fell from her eyes.

I felt my face soften, and then I slowly pulled her into a tight embrace.

"Syaoran....I'm....I-I'm scared....." She replied shakily.

I felt my heart twinge from hearing the obvious fright from her voice. All I wanted to do was to try and chase her fears away. I shook my head and tried my best to comfort her.

"Shh...shh...Sakura...it's okay..." I comforted.

Sakura's tears just kept on coming, and I slowly released her from my arms. I wiped her tears away with my fingers, and held her arm reasurringly.

"Sakura...it's okay...it'll be okay....I promise...."

She looked up at me and I felt my heart break from the expression of sadness in her face.

When she finally found her voice she replied shakily, "I-I hope so...Syaoran.."

I smiled faintly and took her in my arms one more time.

~*~*~*~*~*~

"So tell me Sakura...what was the dream about this time?" I asked her while I stared at the cup of coffee infront of me.

She stopped suddenly and was about to take another sip of coffee, but when she heard me ask her about the dream, she froze.

"I'd rather not talk about Syaoran....it's too painful to mention..." She finally answered and continued to drink her coffee.

I frowned. What had happened in the dream that can make Sakura act like this?

Her face softened. "I'm sorry Syaoran...it's just that the dream is too bitter to say...I'm really sorry. It even hurts to think about it."

I sighed heavily and frowned. I stood up suddenly and decided to drink my coffe outside the porch without saying another word.

~*~*~*~*~*~

I felt so guilty for not telling Syaoran about the dream. I mean we were in this together, and it's not as if Syaoran had never had these dreams before. But I just couldn't bring myself to tell him.

I thought hard of the situation and sat down with a serious expression on my face. But after a few minutes I came up with a solution.

I stood up and walked slowly towards the porch.

~*~*~*~*~*~

It hurt me. I thought that Sakura would have trusted me by now considering the growing love between us. I loved her so much, but it hurt me to think that she couldn't trust me enough to tell me about the dream.

I ran my fingers unconciously through my brown hair and breathed in heavily.

I sat down and stared out in space without moving. I was so deep in thought that I didn't notice the front door opening, and heard the footsteps approaching.

~*~*~*~*~*~

As soon as I reached the porch I felt my heart was going to break in two. There he was...just sitting there with a sad expression on his face. I felt my heart ache from the sight. I walked towards him slowly with a worried look. He didn't seem to notice my presence, and he continued to stare into space.

As soon as I was about a foot away from him, I watched his expression change from sadness to love.

"Syaoran..."

He looked up at me suddenly and then he turned away.

"Sakura..."

I frowned and sat down beside him.

"I'm scared Syaoran...I'm terribly scared...but please know that since you're here....you've helped me, and now I feel much more safe and secure....don't ever doubt that for a second."

He turned suddenly and smiled faintly at me. I smiled back but as soon as I had a glimpse of his smiling face, I turned away suddenly. I felt a blush creeping up my cheeks and felt my knees turn into mush.

Then I heard Syaoran chuckling.

"Sakura...arigatou..." he answered me finally, but this time he was a bit more calm. Then suddenly I felt his fingers under my chin. I felt my heart beat faster than usual at the contact of his fingers against my skin.

"Sakura....look at me..." He said all of a sudden with a hint of huskiness in his voice.

I had no choice but to do what he told me to do. I slowly turned around and as soon as I did, I felt his lips on mine.

~*~*~*~*~*~

A/N: Well that's it for now...sorry if it's still a bit too short. I just got really pissed off awhile ago while typing the last paragraph. I don't know how but somehow all my text disappeared when I got d/c from the internet. That is why I had to type the last paragraph over again...*sighs* but anyways I hope you enjoyed this chapter. Please review and lemme know what you think of it so far! Arigatou.

Oh and sorry for a lot of grammatical errors here and there. My greatest weakness in writing is grammar, and well I'm still working hard on it.
