Uh... it didn't take me THAT long to update... did it? I tried to get it typed out as fast as I could... but I'm overloaded with stupid Accounting homework, Social Studies... and a bunch more. Did I mention how much I hate school this year? *sticks out tongue* Anyway, here's Chapter 10!

"So, what do we do now?" Eriol asked, looking at Tammie.
"I don't wish to carry on with this charade any more. But we can't just 'break off' like that, can we? I mean, Syaoran and Tomoyo broke off because they claimed that they weren't so BLISSFUL like us, remember?" Sakura sighed.
"It's up to you," Tammie looked from Sakura to Eriol.
"Do we have a choice?" Sakura muttered.
How did she get herself into this mess?
~~^~~^~~^~~^~~^~~^~~^~~^~~
"So, why did you call us here for?" Eriol asked with forced cheerfulness, as he setled down at the booth.
"I'm leaving," Syaoran said simply.
At this, Sakura's eyes flew open. "What?" she gasped.
Syaoran turned to her, a hint of smile tugging on his lips.
"My mum says that I should return to Hong Kong. You now, since my relationship with Tomoyo isn't doing as what she expected," Syaoran glanced at Tomoyo, who nodded, carefully avoiding Eriol's gaze.
"How long will you be gone?" Sakura blurted out.
"A month, maybe two? Maybe I'll never come back," Syaoran gazed at Sakura, who flushed, looking away.
"Excuse me, I need to go to the ladies," Sakura said softly, feeling tears well up in her eyes.
It wasn't fair! Why was she caught up in the whole mess? Why did she have these stupid feelings for HIM?
Why? WHY?!? Sakura thought angrily as a tear slipped from her eys.
"Sakura, you alright?" Tomoyo asked, opening the door tentatively.
"Yeah, of course," Sakura hastily wiped away her tears, smiling up at her best friend.
"Are you crying?" Tomoyo asked, concerned.
Sakura debated her options. Tomoyo could see through her easily. It was better to tell a half- truth. "I'll miss Syaoran. He's after all, my... my best friend," she said instead, feeling her heart being torm apart at those words.
"Yeah, I'll miss him too. But somehow, I don't find it my place to make him stay. It doesn't feels... right," Tomoyo hesitated.
"I thought you loved him. When he first came, you kept stealing glances at him, remember?" Sakura asked, confused.
"I 'liked' him. But liking enough will not hold a marriage. You need to...," Tomoyo paused, as though searching for the right words. "You need to understand each other. Like you and Eriol," she concluded finally, her eyes holding a distant look.
"Like me and Eriol," Sakura whispered. Only Tomoyo didn't know how wrong she was.
~~^~~^~~^~~^~~^~~^~~^~~^~~
"Will you be sending him off tomorrow?" Tammie asked gently.
"I don't know. It all seems just so... sudden," Sakura faltered.
"Sakura, there's also something else I need to tell you," Tammie said nervously, looking at Aidan.
"Is anything wrong?" Sakura asked immediately, sitting up.
"Tammie and I are flying back to England tomorrow. An hour after Syaoran's flight," Aidan said, looking at Tammie, who was biting her lips.
"WHAT? How could you leave me at a time like this?" Sakura wailed, glaring at Tammie.
"I'm sorry. It's just that we've both received a letter saying that we've been accepted into the class for Arts and Designes. We need to hurry back," Tammie said tentatively, looking up at Sakura.
"I can't believe this! I'm going out!" Sakura shook her head and smarched out, slamming the door behind her.
"Do you think we did the right thing?" Tammie asked, looking at Aidan.
"It was the best we could do. She really likes Syaoran. And by meddling, we're only making things worse. She needs to figure this out on her own," Aidan assured her.
"I hope," he said under his breath.
~~^~~^~~^~~^~~^~~^~~^~~^~~
"C'mon, guys! Why the sad faces? It's not as though I'm dying," Syaoran joked, looking at the faces of the rest.
"You said you might be gone forever," Eriol pointed out.
"Hey, I'm just training to be a better leader of the Li Clan. You can come and visit me too, ya know?" he punched Eriol's arm jokingly, but his tone was distracted. There was only five minutes before his fligh, but Sakura was nowhere in sight.
"Sakura'll be here," Tammie smiled reassuringly, as though reading his mind.
"Yeah, she'll be here," Aidan echoed, though his worried eyes betrayedhim.
"Flight 883, passengers, please board the plan," the speaker from the intercom blasted, before Syaoran could reply.
"Well, I guess that's it," he said, looking around the airport once more.
He picked up his bags and turned to leave.
"WAIT!"
Syaoran whipped around, his hopeful eyes searching for the owner of the voice.
"Wait!" Sakura said breathlessly, running up towards him.
"Sakura, you made it!" Tomoyo smiled.
Sakura stood there, standing awkwardly at Syaoran, who stared back.
"Uh... Bon Voyage," she said at last, giving him a small smile.
Syaoran stepped forward and enveloped her in a hug. "Bye, I'll miss you," he whispered.
He let go off her and turned to Eriol.
"Take care of Sakura and Tomoyo, or I'll be back after you," he said jokingly.
"Bye!" everyone chorosed, waving.
"Visit me," Syaoran called back, though his eyes were focused on Sakura all along.
"I'll miss you," Sakura whispered.
~~^~~^~~^~~^~~^~~^~~^~~^~~
"Are you still mad at us, Skaura?" Tammie asked, as Sakura stood at the departure gate, her eyes still puffed up from all the crying.
"I'm just sad that you guys are leaving. But I'm glad you got into the course for the Arts and Designs," Sakura smiled up at them.
"Thank you," Tammie said softly.
"We need to go now," Aidan said, glancing at his watch.
"Good luck with Syaoran. Remember, true love conquers all," Tammie whispered, hugging Sakura.
"It won't help. He won't be back. But thanks anyway," Sakura hugged back.
"Miracles happens," Tammie said, before turning towards the departure gate.
"I hope you're right," Sakura said softly.
~~^~~^~~^~~^~~^~~^~~^~~^~~
Syaoran's leaving... and does he have feelings for Sakura?? Please R+R!!! ^_^;;
