Time
Frame: Several weeks later during the end of
spring.
hhhhh
The soft winds of
the spring afternoon were just enough to give the falling Sakura petals a
little bit of a push as they fell from the branches.
The petals came to
rest on the soft luscious green grass of the lakeside as two lovebirds lay on a
large towel at the base of the Sakura tree. They were contently holding each
other while they watched their friends playing.
The male was in a
pair of forest green swim trunks while the female was in a light pink two piece
swimsuit. He had his arms wrapped around her waist as she leaned back into his
chest. Her arms were holding his in place. Each had a peaceful smile on their
face as the warm breeze and soothing solar rays kept them nice and cozy,
despite the minimal amount of clothing.
Nearby the sounds
of contentment could be heard as three couples were engaged in a game of water
Frisbee.
"Sakura?" said
Syaoron as he broke the silence.
"Yeah?" said
Sakura in reply.
"Do you ever
regret coming to Hong Kong?"
"No," said Sakura
in answer. "Why do you ask?"
"Well, there was
that whole incident with Liz and the whole situation with Xin," said Syaoron in
explanation. "So I thought that after going through so much that you might have
regretted coming here."
"Not at all. I
don't regret anything as long as I end up in your arms."
With a smile he
pulled her even closer and kissed the top of her head. "That can be easily
arranged." Then he turned her in his arms, till they faced each other, and gave
her a sweet kiss.
They were so
intent on the kiss that they never noticed their friends coming up to them with
buckets of cold water.
Suddenly with a
yelp of surprise the two broke away from each other, jumped to their feet and glared
at their friends, who were laughing their heads off.
Then as suddenly
as they were surprised, they took off running after the others giving everyone
a good laugh.
After chasing
their friends for a few minutes everyone collapsed on the grass in a fit of
laughter.
They settled into a fitful silence with the girls in the arms of their boyfriends and the guys happily holding onto them.
Sakura was
contentedly settled in Syaoron's arms when conversations about day to day
affairs began amongst the group.
After a few
minutes of conversing about random events Syaoron noticed that Sakura had been
oddly silent. She had a thoughtful stare on her face as he looked at her.
"Sakura?"
"Yeah," replied
Sakura as she continued to stare into space.
"Are you alright?"
"Yeah, just
thinking."
"What about?"
"The old gang,"
said Sakura with a far-off look in her eyes. "I really miss them Syaoron."
"Yeah, I know,"
said Syaoron.
Slowly a small
grin appeared on his face as an idea came to his mind.
"I have an idea,"
said Syaoron as he gently nuzzled Sakura's earlobe causing her to giggle. "Why don't
we call them when we get back to our room."
"That would be
great," said Sakura with an ecstatic grin on her face. "Lets go now."
With that said,
Sakura jumped up and pulled Syaoron to his feet and began to run towards the
dorms, dragging a chuckling sorcerer behind her.
'She is going to
love this surprise,' thought Syaoron as he caught up to his cherry blossom.
Not even close to
finished…

Notes: Sorry this epilogue took so long to come
out, but I was having a very hard time not giving you guys too many hints as to
the sequel.
Sorry
if the epilogue is a bit corny but like I said before, I had a hard time
writing it, gomen.
The
sequel should start by the time summer vacation starts.
I'll
try to put a bit more action in it.

P.S.
Just in case anyone cared. I'm redoing my "Elemental" series, so it won't be
updated for a long time.
