Chapter 8- The secret Garden.

"Syaoran-kun! Let's Go!" Sakura called.

Syaoran ran down the stairs, putting on his jacket on the way.

"Sorry, Princess." Syaoran said, gasping for air.

Sakura just giggled. "It's fine."

Sakura was wearing a white spaghetti strap dress with a pink bolero on top. Her sandals had ribbons on them, wrapping around her legs. Syaoran was wearing a brown jacket. A gray shirt with kaki pants and simple vans.

"Wait fooorrrr meee—" Mokona was cut when Fai grabbed him. Syaoran and Sakura were just confused.

"Let's not bother them and let them have a nice tie together ALONE, hm?" Fai whispered into Mokona's ear, emphasizing the word "alone". Mokona just giggled meaning that he understands.

"Is something wrong?" Syaoran asked.

"Ah! Iie. Go have fun!" Fai said.

"What about Mokona?" Sakura asked.

"I asked him to help me clean the basement. I haven't touched that part of the house yet. Ehehhe."

Sakura and Syaoran just sweatdropped, still confused.

Fai pushed Sakura and Syaoran outside.

"Anyways, you kids have fun and go home whenever you want"

"Ah-"

"Bye bye!" and Fai slammed the door.

"Eh?" both of them said.

"Anyways, let's go, Syaoran-kun" Sakura said.

"Hai."

They took the train to get to the other town. Syaoran never knew Sakura ventured this far. It was 1 hour trip.

"Better be on guard." Syaoran thought



"We're here" Sakura said, breaking of Syaoran's train of thoughts.

When they got out of the train station, Syaoran saw a tiny town. It wasn't the modern type. It was those little peaceful towns where technology is not really common.

Sakura led Syaoran to her secret garden. They took off east of town. They past through a lot of trees but it wasn't tiring. It was actually a short walk, not really far from town.

"You ready?" Sakura said.

As they past though one last tree, Syaoran saw a beautiful garden. It was surrounded by different kinds of flowers and the sakura trees guarded this garden. It was the brightest part of the forest. It was truly beautiful.

"Wow" was the only thing Syaoran could say.

"Do you like it? Moko-chan and I found this place and we created the garden." Sakura blushed.

"You made this garden?" Syaoran asked.

"Ye-yes." Sakura blushed.

"It's really beautiful."

They sat down under the sakura tree. There was silence for a while until Syaoran spoke.

"How did you find this place?" Syaoran asked.

"Fai-san told me of this town. They sold a lot of flower seeds here. So, when you're out training with Kurogane-san, Moko-chan and I go to this garden."

"Why here?"

"Moko-chan said that if we out it in the house, you and Kurogane-san might destroy it while training." Sakura smiled. Syaoran sweat dropped.

"Sorry" Syaoran frowned.

"No, it's nothing. It's better here. The air's much fresher. And I love this place."

There was silence again.

"And" Sakura continued "I'm going to miss this place." Sakura whispered, so Syaoran won't here.

But he heard it.

"Eh?"



"Soon, after we find my feather, we'll be leaving this place. Yes, it's really fun to travel but I… I wish that we'd at least enjoy are lives a little more. No fighting, no hurting, no crying, no frowning. If only we could smile more wholeheartedly. I'm not saying that I'm not having fun. Of course I am. I'm not saying that you're not doing a good job Syaoran-kun. I just want you to smile… more wholeheartedly." Sakura smiled at him. His attention all set on her. He listened to every word, trying to fully understand what she's saying.

Sakura continued, pulling her legs to her chest and covering her face. "Sometimes, please don't take it against me, I don't really care about my past anymore. I can't look back anyway and more people are getting hurt. Everyone's working hard to return my feathers back and I can't do a thing. It's not like I could change it. I feel selfish."

Her words struck a knife into Syaoran's heart. But it wasn't her fault.

"No, I think it's fine but…" Syaoran spoke. "The past is really important too. Even though you can't change it, even though you won't remember it crystal clear, your past is what makes you, you. Even though it's impossible to change your past, the memories you hold are precious. The people you've met, the worlds you've seen, the things you've done. Doesn't it make you happy to remember the good times you had? It makes you feel happy to be alive."

Sakura stared at Syaoran for a long time. She never realized it that way. No. she forgot she thought about it that way. Her memories are important to her. The past, the present and the future. They're all important. She concentrated and thought about her past.

She remembered her brother teasing her, Yukito teaching her about the world, Fai teaching her about cooking, Mokona making her laugh, Kurogane protecting her alongside Syaoran.

Syaoran, the person who protects her from all evil, making her feel happy even for the little things.

She was happy to have met these people. She felt lucky.

"You're right." Sakura answred.

Syaoran managed to smile at her.

"The past important" she added.

Suddenly, two bright lights shined in front of them.
