Chapter 4 – Sakura and Syaoran's Forbidden Love Affair


At the residence of Kinomoto Family, they are sharing their dinner in their dining table when Toya open a topic. "I don't like the news that's coming out, Sakura."

"What kind of news is that, brother?" asked Sakura innocently.

"I heard that the Li cousins are here again."

Sakura stop for a while, feeling awkward about the news.

"What's wrong with that news, Toya?" said by Fujitaka, their father. "Besides, it's almost a year since they visited Japan," Fujitaka added then gave a smile to her daughter Sakura.

"Don't worry, brother Toya, it's only Meilin that went here…" said Sakura sadly. Toya and Fujitaka looked at her intently.

"What's wrong between you and Syaoran?" asked Fujitaka. "So he's the reason why you were so lonely these past few months."

"He doesn't want to go back here anymore…It's just hurt that he doesn't want to see me again…It's my fault…" Sakura said very lonely. Tears started to fall from her eyes but she manage not to.

"Because he wasn't worth it so you better forget him!" Toya said with authority in his voice. "And stop making friends with that lady, Meilin. Those two were bringing you in trouble."

"Meilin is kind to me brother Toya, don't be so rude," Sakura defended Meilin.

Toya ignore his sister and keeps on eating. When the dinner's over Sakura went to her room immediately. Keroberos tried to talk to her but she ignored him. She's thinking deeply. Her mind is on Syaoran. She really missed her beloved Syaoran. Every time she's with Meilin, it reminds her of Syaoran that is why it hurts her a lot.

"You're thinking about that 'kid'?" Keroberos is talking about Syaoran.

Sakura breathe hard. Keroberos has no idea about her plan of giving back the cards to Eriol. Like her brother Toya, Keroberos and Syaoran also dislike each other but this time, she is very sure that both might join forces to stop her with her plan. Her cellphone rang, when she look at the screen her heartbeat go faster. Syaoran is calling!

"Hello?" she answered the call.

"Let's meet," Syaoran said on the other line.

"You're here!" she replied unbelievably.

"I just arrived today. Let's meet at the park."

"O-Okay…" Then the line cut. With a smile in her face, she dressed up inspirationally. She feels like she is in heaven right now!

"Let me guess, that 'kid' is here, right?"

Sakura nodded.

"And you will meet him at the park?"

Sakura nodded again.

"How about your brother Toya?" Keroberos asked. "I'm sure he'll get mad if he'll find out that you're going to meet that 'kid'"

"He'll never find out if you're going to zip your mouth," Sakura murmured. He walks through her cabinet, she open one of the handle and pulled out the book of Clowcards in which the cards were kept. She opens the book to take the Mirror and Fly cards with her. She used the Mirror card to create another Sakura.

"It's been almost years since you used those cards. Love is really powerful…" Keroberos teases her.

Sakura blushed. "Keroberos stop it. I will go now. Take care of my twin." Sakura look at her twin (Mirror card) and smiled. As usual, she used the Fly card to escape from the window of her room.


Syaoran did not expect that Sakura would use the Fly card for transportation. He is longing for his sweet Sakura that is why he could not stop his self to hug her very tight. Sakura did not expect it either but then she let them that way. Hugging and feeling each other in their arms. They really missed each other but when they separates both are blushing in shyness. They could not find anything to say and could not look straight on each other's eyes.

"How are you?" asked both.

"You first…" Sakura said shyly.

Syaoran sighed. "Your plan, do you really need to do that? We're now separated, what's that for?"

Sakura couldn't imagine that their break up was accepted by Syaoran as easy as that. "It really bothers me…I want to know the truth…"

"Is my love wasn't enough for you?" asked Syaoran with emphasis.

"Try to understand…"

"What's happening to you? You are hard to understand. I wouldn't let you surrender those cards to Eriol. Don't you know that those cards are yours already? Abandoning them might make it worst! If you'll insist, your life could be in danger."

"But –"

"I LOVE YOU!" said Syaoran with emphasis and sincerely from his heart. Sakura remain speechless. She could not look at Syaoran's eye that full of love and desires and unexpectedly, Syaoran hug her again but to her surprise he sobs on her shoulder.

"Syaoran…" she muttered his name. She wants to comfort him but she does not have the strength. She just let him cry on her shoulder until he stop. He looks at her with teardrops on his eyes.

"I'd rather forget everything about us than letting you surrender those cards. Let's just take it this way, act like we never met. I'll learn to forget you even though it's hard…Goodbye…" Syaoran said very lonely. He began to walk away from her.

Sakura wanted to refuse but no words are coming out from her mouth. She left looking at Syaoran's figure going away from her and all of a sudden, tears run down through her face continuously… "Syaoran…Come back…Please…" she said faintly. "I love you…" she whispers. "Syaoran I LOVE YOU!" she yells and it echoed around. Sakura couldn't stand her feelings anymore that's why she kneels and bows her head starting to cry again with her hands on her face. "Syaoran…" she is calling out his name repeatedly.

"Say that you want me to stay and I'm not going…"

Sakura stop for a moment then little by little she looks upward. Seeing Syaoran standing in front of her makes her more vulnerable. "Syaoran!" said Sakura emotionally. Syaoran gave her a wide smile. Sakura stood up and embraced him with her passionate kiss on his lips. Even though, Syaoran was shocked at first, he managed to kiss her back, anyway. Then they'd kissed for a long moment. Wishing that it would not end but someone tear them apart!

"Brother Toya!" exclaimed Sakura. Her eyes open wide when she saw her angry brother Toya. Flying Keroberos appears on the scene.

"I'm sorry Sakura…" apologize Keroberos.

"If you don't want me to get mad at you, go back in our home, Sakura," Toya said with authority. Sakura wanted to say goodbye to Syaoran but – "Immediately now!" Toya shouted very loud. Sakura and Syaoran cannot do anything about it just to stare with each other. Sakura left Syaoran and Toya. They stood for a moment then suddenly Toya attacked Syaoran and gave his full power to his punch but to his surprised Syaoran freely accepted his punch.

"I love your sister very much. Your punch would not stop me from loving Sakura. I do not care whether you like me or not. As long as Sakura loves me and she could fight for me, I would never give up on her, never!"

Toya laughs then stop just to clap. "How dramatic…You cannot fool me with those words of yours, Mr. Li. Prove your sincerity to me then I'll let you take Sakura from us."

"How?" asked Syaoran.

"Let's fight until one of us will die…" said Toya and grinned.

Syaoran was shocked. He folded his knuckle to control his anger. After a minute, he already decided. "I've lost…" he sighed. "If one of us will die, Sakura for sure would be very lonely and it has a tendency that she would get mad to us. I don't want Sakura to suffer that much…"

"Pity on you kid," Toya grinned. "Bye! Hope we'll not see each other again." Toya turns his back.

"Wait!" Syaoran called Toya. When Toya turn his back, Syaoran do not give a damn punching Toya's face. "It's for Sakura, for not letting her to be happy."

Toya stop for a moment then smiled. Afterwards he just walked away without any words. Syaoran left with dismay.
