Dreaming of you.
The school came crashing down.
"Sakura!" Syaoran yelled.
Sakura was in that building and there was nothing he could do about it. Flames engulfed the building, debris was flying everywhere. Syaoran stared in horror.
Sakura!
Suddenly it all went black and an image of Sakura appeared in front of Li. Her soft honey brown hair floated on a breeze that he couldn't feel. Her emerald coloured eyes were faded. Li out stretched his hand to touch her but his hand just drifted through the image.
"Sakura." he cried.
Her image grew softer and softer. Soon he couldn't see her anymore.
"Sakura." he repeated. He closed his hazel eyes and wished she'd come back to him.
Sakura
Suddenly he shot up in bed. He'd been having the same dream over and over again. It had been 7 years since he last saw Sakura. He promised he'd return soon but his mother, Yelan, would not allow him. He knew he'd started about a million letters to Sakura, apologizing. Telling her he was sorry for not returning like he'd promised her. He hoped everyday that Sakura would not forget him. Hoped that she would forgive him for letting her wait so long.
Sakura. I miss you. I swear I will return. Just wait for me. Please.
Li threw the sheets off him and quietly crept to the kitchen, trying not to disturb his sisters or mother. He switched on the light and poured himself a glass of water.
What does the dream mean? He asked himself.
Meanwhile in Tomoeda.
"Wake up!" yelled a voice in Sakura's ear. It was Kero.
Sakura turned over knocking him to the ground. She then groaned and pulled the sheets over her head as Kero had opened the window letting a freezing cold breeze into the room.
"Sakura Kinomoto! Do you want to be late for school?" Kero frowned.
Sakura looked over her blanket and stared groggily at her digital clock, trying to make out the figures. 5:32!
"Kero! 5:32!? What were you thinking? School starts in another 3 hours!" Sakura yelled.
Kero hovered above her head and pulled her sheets down, "Maybe if you wake up now you'll be on time!"
Sakura curled up, trying to keep warm.
"Plus I'm hungry!" Kero frowned, "Now wake up!"
Sakura sat up and rubbed her eyes, "Kero, you're always hungry."
"Good you're up! Now how about you whipping up some pancakes for your trusted guardian?" Kero smiled, rubbing his stomach with his paws.
Sakura yawned, "Well, I'm up I guess. So I might as well. Why don't you go set the things up while I go brush my teeth ok, Kero?"
"Great!" Kero smiled, flying through the crack of Sakura's door, "Anything for pancakes!"
Sakura sighed and got up. She stretched and began to make her way to the bathroom when she stepped on something furry and soft. She bent over and picked it up. It was the bear that Li had given her. The bear that he had given her when he had made the promise. The promise to come back to her.
Li. Sakura sighed You promised. but why aren't you here?
She tossed the bear aside Sakura, he lied. He's not coming back. Face it!
She continued to the bathroom, trying to forget the hurtful memories of Li, how she missed him. She would give anything to see him again, but she had to face the fact that he wasn't coming back. 7 years had past and it finally sunk in. Sakura at first refused to accept the fact that Li was gone but she knew she had to and after a while she began to realise it.
"Sakura?" Touya yawned, peering into the bathroom, "What are you doing up so early?"
"None of your business!" Sakura smirked, "Why did I wake you?"
"I heard something moving around in here," Touya laughed, "I thought it was a kaijiu."
Sakura frowned and placed her hands on her hips. Great here comes another one of Touya's old jokes.
".And I was right!"
"Whatever!" Sakura replied, pushing him out of the bathroom and closing the door.
Sakura quietly walked over to the sink, still thinking of Li.
Why can't I forget him?
Later that morning.
Sakura struggled to pull on her skates.
"Told you I'd be better to wake you up early." Kero smiled, "Your beating your old record by 2 minutes."
"Kero! That's not helping!" Sakura cried, looking at her watch.
She finally managed to haul her skates on and get out the door. A few minutes later Sakura ran back inside and looked wildly around for her school bag.
"Looking for this, Miss Kinomoto?" Touya smiled, dangling her bag above her.
She grabbed it and began out the door.
"Whoa it's stuffy in here," she heard a voice muffle in her bag.
"Kero?" she frowned, closing the front gate behind her and beginning to skate, "What are you doing here?"
"What does it look like?" Kero smiled, popping out of her bag and munching on Sakura's lunch.
Sakura sweatdropped and kept skating wildly to school, just maintaining her balance. Her hair flew behind her and her eyes were full of glitter. It was the fact that she was going to be late, again, that kept her from slowing down. Sakura didn't mind dodging and ducking things on her skates, after all she had been doing it for 7 years and knew everything and anything about her route to school, but Kero on the other hand was struggling to stay in the bag.
"Sakuraaaaaaaaa!" Kero yelled.
"Get back inside, Kero, we're almost there," Sakura panted.
The school soon came into view. Almost there.
"Ok, Kero. We're almost there." Sakura began.
"Thank god," Kero whispered.
Sakura hit the bag, ".So you have to keep it low. Ok?"
"Alright."
Sakura struggled to get her skates off and pushed open the classroom door.
"And that." The teacher broke off and stared at Sakura, "Miss Kinomoto."
She let out an exasperated sigh, "Take your seat and turn to page 34 in your advanced chem. book please."
"Sorry." Sakura smiled as she pushed a strand of honey brown hair behind her ear and took her seat.
"Hey Sakura!" Tomoyo whispered.
"Tomoyo!" Kero cried popping out of Sakura's bag.
Suddenly the teacher whirled around to face Sakura.
"Is there something we need to share with the class? Or can it wait till 4:00, when you have a detention?" she snapped.
"D-detention?" Sakura choked, ". But I didn't s--."
"I don't want an excuse, now please stop disrupting the class."
She turned back to face the chalkboard and began to write.
Sakura kicked her bag, making Kero topple over, "Thanks a lot, guardian!"
Kero poked his head out of the bag and stuck his tongue out, "Not my problem you're not listening."
Sakura rolled her eyes and flipped to page 34 in her textbook. Great! Detention. Just what I needed.
Back in Hong Kong.
Li sat on his back porch staring at the cherry blossoms. It was like thousands of knives stabbing at his heart when he thought of Sakura. He missed her so much. If only. my stubborn mother could understand.
"Li!" yelled Futie, his sister, "Mother wants you!"
Li slowly got up taking one last glance at the cherry blossoms and walked inside.
"Yes mother?"
"Li." she began, "I have decided, now would be the right time to allow you to go back to Tomoeda, Japan. After all the girl you talk about in your dreams must still be waiting for you."
"Talk about in my dreams?" Li asked, blushing slightly.
"Yeah! The name of the girl you're yelling is Sakura." Futie laughed, "It wakes us up every night. You think we can't here you?"
Li blushed. Great. Now for the next millennium I'll be hearing about this.
"Is that why you're letting me go?" Li decided to push his luck. It was stupid question but curiosity got the best of him.
"."
I guess she doesn't wanna tell me why he frowned. But I least I'll see Sakura again. His heart skipped at the thought of seeing her again.
"I pity Japan." Futie joked, "Li's coming back."
