SAKURA- cherry blossom

By KangaKilla

Dedicated to: Sarah, you have no idea how much you are my new best friend, thanks for letting me "borrow" your work mwhahaha I'm so evil!

AN/ I know I said this would be long but… *sigh* I'm just not that good, I still have writers block, I reckon this is the longest I've ever had it. I know what I want to write I just don't know how to write it! Ha haha if that makes sense. *Sweat drops* alright on with the story

Last chapter:

"Sakura, remember that anyone who comes to this house is dangerous, I don't care how friendly they are, no one but the Li's know where this house is, and only those with magic can sense it, just be on your guard at all times" Sakura nodded her head and ran to catch up with the fast walking Xiaolang.

Chapter six: Training with Xiaolang- part two- Keep me safe

Sakura excelled brilliantly with the help of Xiaolang and they both continued training each other with their fighting techniques.

Xiaolang took a fighting stance as well as Sakura, they both smirked at each other, Sakura had picked up the smirk from Xiaolang form being around him for so long. Both launched at each other at the exact same time executing a different sequence of punches. Sakura flipped over Xiaolang's head and pulled out her Shoju and flicked them expertly in front of herself and came back into a fighting stance. Xiaolang grinned (he also picked that from Sakura) and called forth his sword, which he twirled viciously through the air before also going into a fighting stance that mirrored Sakura's.

"You do realise that I've become accustomed to you using the Shoju?" Xiaolang asked raising an eyebrow, Sakura smiled and nodded.

"But I taught myself a new move that I want to try out." She said and she lunged at Xiaolang, faked a right and went into a bob which she twisted and cut at Xiaolang's feet which he in turn jumped over which she was expecting, Sakura then jumped and twist flipped to Xiaolang's right and fanned down over his head which he ducked, she was also expecting this and then Sakura cart wheeled over to be in front of Xiaolang and she grinned and somersaulted underneath Xiaolang between his legs and came up behind him and before Xiaolang could turn around Sakura kicked the backs of his knees and he fell forwards and Sakura was on top of him, pinning him down.

Xiaolang cursed himself, she was becoming too fast for him to see sometimes.

"I like the moves though, confusing and fast enough that they are a strong enough sequence to make me not able to figure out what you're going to do." Xiaolang only rarely gave Sakura compliments and this was one of those times, she squealed in delight and hugged Xiaolang's form from behind making him blush profusely but luckily Sakura couldn't see since he was face down. With a leap Sakura was off of Xiaolang's back and was helping him to stand up.

"Again?" Sakura asked excitedly. Xiaolang was about to agree when he looked up at the sky, dark clouds had gathered and were rolling in fast, a storm was coming.

"No, not today, we'll continue this tomorrow." He stated pointing towards the sky. Sakura looked up and sighed, she enjoyed fighting against Xiaolang, he was a fun partner, and was also a huge challenge, since he had more battle experience then her and could use a magical attack on her without her realising it, but it was a different story with her magical attacks, they were so obvious that Sakura shouldn't even try to do one, the target always got out of her way ages before she even released it, it was rather upsetting.

"Whose making dinner tonight?" She asked looking towards Xiaolang giving him a little cute face that was saying please-don't-ask-me-cause-im-so-cute face that Xiaolang couldn't resist, he ad formed a weird habit of stealing glances at Sakura and getting a funny feeling in the pit of his stomach when ever she was around and he also blushed when she touched him and the part of skin that she did touch would stay on fire for hours afterwards and for some strange reason he wanted her to touch him more.

Mei Lin and Tomoyo were sparing against each other when Mou Tatsu came running in a big smile on her face.

"Guess what" she cried out as both girls turned towards her.

"Sakura's coming back in a few days" she said still smiling, Tomoyo and Mei Lin both looked at each other and hugged out of joy, they then brought Mou Tatsu into the hug as well. It was good to have Sakura back, that way most of the guys would leave the girls alone, Sakura could yell and scream at the guys and they would be too scared to fight against her because of Xiaolang, it had gotten around the school like wild fire about what had happened between Sakura, Jin and Mou Tatsu. Jin would be extremely peed off that Sakura was coming back, but hey all the girls would be happy and that was all that mattered.

"So do you know how she's going?" Mei Lin asked once all the girls had stopped hugging.

"Oh she's doing fantastic, there was a problem about some guy coming along and attacking both Sakura and Xiaolang but that was taken care of, but yeah she's mastering her magical abilities and is constantly fighting with Xiaolang to become stronger, well that's what Yelan says anyway." Mou replied with her eyes dancing with happiness.

"Oh I cant wait to find out what has happened, there is seriously going to be a Goss night girls as soon as she comes back, and we have to have food and LA Cola (haha that's for you Sarah and Emma)

The storm raged on overhead as Sakura and Xiaolang ate their dinner that Xiaolang made (that was so guessable). Sakura was enjoying the meal immensely when all of a sudden the lights went out leaving the room in complete darkness, Sakura screamed out and banged her head on the table. (AN/ Don't ask me how).

"Sakura?" Xiaolang's voice rang out in the dark. He could hear Sakura's heavy breathing `she's scared' he realised and a little more urgently repeated her name. "Come on Sakura, talk to me so I can find you." Xiaolang would have used his magic but the storm outside was an electric storm and it would effect his powers and Sakura's and they would become out of control and probably end up killing the both of them.

"Not again, please, no, not again." Xiaolang could hear Sakura's pleading whispers. This was scaring the hell out of him. `What the hell's the matter?' Xiaolang almost fell over Sakura; she was sitting on the floor, knees tucked up under her chin. Xiaolang knelt by Sakura and was taken by surprise when she latched herself onto him, and crawled into his lap, and held on, her head was buried in his neck and she was crying.

"Sakura what's wrong?" Xiaolang asked quietly. A few sniffles and the drying of tears once she realised she wasn't alone Sakura cleared her throat.

"When I was ten my Oni-chan found out that I was scared of the dark, him *sniff* and his friends thought it'd be funny if they…if they locked me in the cupboard. *Sniff* and they did, I screamed and banged on the door for ages, my brother then realised that he was being stupid and tried to open it but it was jammed. I couldn't breath because I was so scared, when they finally got the door open they had to rush me to hospital, I knocked myself out trying to get out and my finger nails were all bloodied. *Sniff* I hate the dark" Sakuras voice had turned into a whisper chocked with emotion. "Please don't leave me in the dark. Please" Xiaolang rubbed Sakura's back and whispered to her that he wouldn't leave. `Gosh how right does this feel?' Xiaolang and Sakura both thought as Sakura snuggled into Xiaolang's chest and fell asleep. Xiaolang sighed and after many tries finally got up. He then carried Sakura towards to her room.

Xiaolang tucked Sakura into her bed after taking off her socks and shoes and was about to leave when a small whimper made him turn around. Sakura was curled up, her face was scrunched up and beads of sweat were on her forehead. Xiaolang walked back up to Sakura and a peaceful look came over her face and she sighed contently. `She can tell when my aura's close in her sleep?' he asked himself incredulously. Xiaolang backed away slightly and again Sakura's brow furrowed and a frown graced her beautiful face. Xiaolang grinned and pushed Sakura over a little bit and lay down next to her. `Might as well keep my promise.' Xiaolang thought before sleep claimed him.

~*~*~*~*~

Morning found Sakura and Xiaolang sleeping in each other's embrace, Xiaolang had a small smiled on his face and Sakuras head was buried in the crook of his neck, Xiaolang's arms were wrapped protectively around Sakura while hers were tucked under her chin. Sakura's legs were wrapped around one of Xiaolang's and the blanket was on the floor forgotten and discarded. Xiaolang woke up first and his eyes widened in shock. He quickly and quietly untangled himself from Sakura somewhat reluctantly, which confused the hell out of him before he went to his own room to have a long shower. Sakura shivered without the warmth of Xiaolang and she woke up slowly and sighed. `It was just a dream then' and with that Sakura got out of her bed and went to her private shower to wake herself up properly.
