Author's Note:
When I say one Cherry Blossom later it means that the cherry blossom tree at Tsukimine Shrine withered and bloomed once already. So that means Sakura just needs for that tree to bloom three more times until she remembers Syaoran again.
Chapter Four: New Love: Sakura
After one Cherry Blossom later.
Sakura was now a sophomore in her brother's old high school eating lunch. Meilin, Syaoran, Ayame and Tomoyo were there with her as well. After they settled down Sakura was sitting with Meilin and Tomoyo next to her, while Syaoran and Ayame were across them eating together. After a few minutes later Takai Yasashiku walked up to them and asked if he may have a word with Sakura. Yasashiku had become great friends with Sakura since she entered high school, Yasashiku was a year ahead of her. They have gotten closer throughout the year.
After Meilin looked over from Yasashiku to Syaoran, she saw Syaoran glaring at Yasashiku already. Sakura nodded and stood up walking over to Yasashiku. They were at least five yards away from the group, and Syaoran was irritated by this. Once they were a great distance away Yasashiku looked at Sakura and asked her, "Can you go out with Syaoran? He really cares for you." Yeah right, only Syaoran wished that was what had happened. What Yasashiku asked Sakura was, "Sakura I know we've only met each other last year, but I know for sure that I know you enough to ask you this question. Will you be mine?"
Sakura was shocked, Yasashiku was asking her to be his. Sakura thought about it for a little bit, and looked down. She liked Yasashiku a lot, but this was new to her. She wanted to say yes so badly, but what would happen if he broke her heart, she didn't want that to happen. Yasashiku pulled her chin up and told her that if she was scared that he was going to hurt her, he would never do that to her. She smiled up at him and trusted him enough, and decided to say yes. She would love to go out with him. He then hugged her and she did too.
Syaoran was getting ready to get up, but Ayame just pulled him down telling him to leave the love birds alone. Surprisingly, Ayame was strong enough to hold him down while Syaoran was trying to get away from her. Yasashiku gave Sakura a small kiss on her forehead and said he would see her after school. She nodded and walked back to her friends. Without hesitating Syaoran asked Sakura in an aggresive tone what had happened. Sakura answered with a big smile on her face telling her friends that Yasashiku had asked Sakura to be his. Syaoran stood up angry and asked her yelling, what she had said. Sakura moved back a little bit shocked, "I told him yes. Why are you so mad Syaoran?"
"Why am I mad? Sakura you're going out with a guy you beraly knew! I'm just concerned here for you, don't you think a friend should be concerned about who you go out with. Especially when it's Takai!" Syaoran exclaimed at Sakura.
Meilin interrupted before Sakura could yell back at Syaoran. Meilin pulled Syaoran aside yards away, "Syaoran what do you think you're doing! You can't yell at Sakura for something she doesn't know!"
"What am I doing! I'm yeling at Sakura! She's going out with someone else when clearly we're still going out! I never dumped her, and she never dumped me! She just forgot me!" Syaoran yelled at Meilin.
"We can't do anything about it Syaoran. We're doing the best that we can, the only thing we can do is wait. She just doesn't know what she's doing." Meiling told him calmly. "I can't really say I know how you feel Syaoran, but you need to try and understand what kind of situation Sakura is in. Honestly Syaoran, if she remembered you do you think she would go out with someone else? Of course not. You two love each other."
"What do you want me to do? Be excited for her that she's going out with Yasashiku! I would rather go back to Hong Kong."
"At least don't yell at her!"
Syaoran looked at Meilin, and his face looked calmer than it did minutes ago. Syaoran plopped his head on Meilin's shoulder and stood there like that. Meilin then patted Syaoran back and told him that it will be okay, and that they are trying their best to figure out what's wrong. The two of them stood there for a little while trying to calm down. Once they were calm the two of them walked back to where everybody else was and Syaoran said sorry to Sakura for yelling at her. Sakura forgave Syaoran and gave him a hug, and said it was okay, and thank you for being concerned about her. Syaoran then hugged her back, having flashbacks of moments when they had hugged. He then promised to himself that he will wait for Sakura, and have her back.
