Prologue – Our Second Meeting"Tomoyo…what are you doing here?" Sakura asked as she walked into her apartment to find Tomoyo there.
"I game in here with the spare key that you gave to Eriol and me. Besides, we were both wondering if you would like to go to the movies with us today," Tomoyo said as she looked at her friend.
"I don't Tomoyo. I really don't feel like going out anywhere," Sakura said as she gave a small smile to her friend.
"Aww, come on Sakura! You need to get a bit more. Besides, you staying inside the apartment isn't really good for you," Tomoyo said as she pleaded with her eyes.
"No thanks. I'll just stay home and rest. Besides, work was torture for me today and then I have school on tomorrow," Sakura said as she gave Tomoyo an apologetic smile.
"…Are you sure?" Tomoyo asked as she walked over to her, hoping to get her go.
"I'm sure Tomoyo. Maybe next week," Sakura said as Tomoyo gave her a hug and left.
'I know that Tomoyo and Eriol are worried about me since I hardly go out anymore with them, but I've been so tired lately,' Sakura said as she walked over to her room and lied down, thinking about a certain amber haired boy before she fell asleep.
"Are you sure that she didn't want to go?" Eriol asked as he and Tomoyo paid for their tickets.
"I'm sure, Eriol. She's just been tired lately I guess with trying to pay the rent and go to school and everything, but I know that its only part of the reason," Tomoyo said as she looked over at him.
"…I'm sure she'll be alright, Tomoyo. How about we stop by tomorrow and take her out to eat?" Eriol said as he looked back at her.
"That sounds great, Eriol," Tomoyo said as she smiled up at him and gave him a quick kiss which ended when the movie was about to start.
"Syaoran…" Yelan said as she stared at a picture of him when he was younger.
"Are you alright?" said a voice from behind her.
"Yes, Meilin, I'm alright. Just a bit tired is all," Yelan said as she wiped away the tears that were falling down her cheeks.
"…"
"…Do you think that he is…alright," Yelan asked hesitantly.
"…I really don't know what his judgment was, but whatever it was, I'm sure that he is fine," Meilin said as she walked towards the window and looked outside.
"I know, but it's just so hard to not think about it. The elders never told us what his judgment would be and now that they are no longer here with us…"
"I know what you mean. But usually they are tournaments in fighting or weapons. Both which he is very well in and he knows what he has to do to get out of there to make it back here to us…to her," Meilin said.
"We can only hope," Yelan said as she looked back to the picture.
'Please be safe, my son.'
"…"
"You still have not proven yourself to your clan or us," said an elderly man as he looked up into amber eyes.
"…"
"I for one believe that he has," said another.
"I agree."
"I for one disagree."
"I agree."
"…"
"You may go and rest while we decide on what to do with you," said the first one as he and the others got up.
"…"
When Sakura woke up from her nap, she walked over to the kitchen and decided that she was going to make some soup for herself. Once done, she grabbed a bowl and started to walk to the living room to watch television when she noticed that she had five messages on her machine.
'Hmm…' Sakura thought as she pushed the button and waited for the messages.
"Hey Sakura, this is Michael. I just wanted to let you know that I'm in town and that I wanted to see you again. I've been thinking a lot and I would like for us to get back together. Call me at…"
'Err, doesn't he ever give up?' Sakura thought as she forwarded the message to the next one.
"Hi Sakura, its Touya. I just wanted to call and check up on you since this is about the time you get out of work. Well I guess I'll call you back later and hopefully you'll be home! Anyways, later sis!"
'I have to admit that the girlfriend that Touya has sure is making him change a lot. He's even being nicer to me. I'll have to thank her next time I see her,' Sakura thought as noticed she had two more messages left.
"Hi Sakura! Its Tomoyo and Eriol here! Um…we were wondering if you would like to go with us to the movies today after you got off from work. Well…when you get home…call us back okay to let us know. Talk to you later! Bye!"
'Well, I already did that and I have to make it up to them now,' Sakura thought as she waited patiently for the next.
"…Sakura, this is Yelan Li. I know that we haven't really kept in touch, but I just wanted to call you to see how you were doing with…well, I just to see how you were doing. If you ever need anything, give me a call. Goodbye."
'Its nice to hear from her again. I hope she is doing all right if not better than I am,' Sakura thought as her memories took her back to two years ago.
"Sakura, this is Michael again. Um…I've called you once already and you haven't returned my call. Well, you already have my number so I guess I'll talk to you later. Love you."
'Ugh, why can't he just give up and learn that I don't love him anymore! I loved…'
While Sakura was thinking back to what has happened to her in the past two years, she was barely able to get the last part of the last message.
"…back to you."
Well? What do you all think? Good J? Bad L? Should I even continue with the sequel? And if you all have any ideas…let me know! All kinds of reviews are welcomed! Thank you and take care! Bye! -Bluepiper
