Syaoran then went into this his apartment and yelled to Meiling that they were leaving for the airport
whether she was packed up or not. He wanted to leave as soon as possible because he did not want to cause
Sakura anymore pain, than he had already done. He remembered the look on Sakura's face when he told
her that he hated her and that he did not love her. The face she made broke his heart into a bunch of broken
pieces. Her expression had changed from happiness to sadness and it was all his fault. ' I know that
Sakura will one day forget this and move on with her life,' Syaoran thought. He then walked into his
bedroom and grabbed his suitcase. Syaoran then went into Meiling's room.
" Meiling, we are leaving now," he said calmly. " Ok, lets go back home already and get on with the
wedding," she said happily. Before they left, Meiling left a note for Sakura to find, knowing that she will be
coming back to the apartment soon to find Syaoran. The letter read:
Dear Kinomoto Tramp,
Sorry that we left earlier than you thought, but oh well. It seems that I have finally gotten Syaoran
to be mine. And you? Well you are going to be alone for the rest of your life. Too bad you can't come to
the wedding, but you wouldn't want to come anyways... for it might break your heart...hehehe. Well that is
all I have to say to you. I can't believe that I will have my wedding in the place that I have always pictured
it would be. Good-bye forever~!
Signed,
Li Meiling
Syaoran and Meiling then walked out of the apartment building and called a taxi, that would take them to
the airport.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We now see Sakura and Tomoyo in Sakura's room, talking about what happened.
Tomoyo was trying to comfort her friend, but it was no use. Sakura had been crying since 4:35pm to
5:30pm about losing Syaoran. Nothing Tomoyo did or said made Sakura any happier. All she wanted was
Syaoran, but that was something that Tomoyo couldn't give to her... though she wished she could. Tomoyo
then told Sakura that she had to go home, but would come back tomorrow. And with that she left her poor
friend to be alone with her thoughts.
'I can't lose Syaoran. I love him too much just to let him marry Meiling. I have to convince him somehow
to stay here in Japan and be with me, no matter what!' she thought to herself. Sakura then looked through
her closet and got a her coat and was going to Syaoran's apartment.
"Where do you think you are going, Sakura?" asked Kero-chan.
"I am going to go talk to Syaoran again." said Sakura.
"I don't want you to be hurt again because of that Gaki!" yelled Kero-chan.
"Kero, I have to try don't I? I love him too much to let him disappear from my life." she said calmly.
"Ok, just be careful. I don't thrust that Gaki." said Kero.
Sakura then hugged Kero and walked out the door to face Syaoran again.
'I hope she will be ok and he better not hurt her more than he already has." thought Kero.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As Sakura was nearing Syaoran's apartment, she started to remember everything that he had said to her
earlier today. Remembering the pain that she felt, when Syaoran said he hated her and was going to marry
Meiling. She then started thinking about the past when they were younger. She remembered how Syaoran
always used to run away from Meiling, telling her to leave him alone. Meiling would always say that
Syaoran and her would be married because of their arranged marriage, but Syaoran said he never would
marry her because he doesn't love her. 'Then why does he want to marry her now?' thought Sakura. Right
then and there, Sakura finally figured out the answer to her question. "He is going to marry her because if
he wants to go home and lead the Li Clan, he must first marry Meiling!" she said aloud (See, Sakura is not
that dense!). "Syaoran must have said all those awful things to me, so I wouldn't love him anymore and so I
would not interfere with his plan to make his family happy." she said to herself. "Well if he thinks that I am
going to stop loving him, he is dead wrong!" she screamed. Sakura then started running towards Syaoran's
apartment. ' I hope I am not too late.' thought Sakura.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Back at the airport...
Syaoran and Meiling had finally gotten to the airport. They got their tickets and were going to board their
plane, but it seems that their plane would not be back on schedule, so they would have to wait for a while.
'I hope Sakura doesn't come to the airport. If I take one more look into those beautiful green orbs, I just
know that I will end up staying with her and disappointing my family.' he thought to himself.
Meiling had fallen asleep in just a matter of minutes. Syaoran decided to let her rest and he would take a
little walk.
"Why can't I stop thinking about her!?" said Syaoran to himself. 'It is because you love her, baka!' yelled
his inner voice. Even Syaoran couldn't argue with that. He did indeed love Sakura very much, but he knew
that his family wanted him to marry Meiling if he ever wanted to come home and lead the Li Clan. His
mind was flooded with images of his beautiful Cherry Blossom. He couldn't but think about her all the
time. Syaoran tried to think of other things, but it was no use. Even when going to sleep he could not
escape the thought of not thinking of her. Then he started to think of something else... it was of an image of
what his wedding was going to look like when he got home. It was a beautiful place, though he just
couldn't figure out where he had seen it before. The minister had just said "You may kiss the bride."
But when he looked at his bride, it was not Meiling, but his Sakura. She was smiling and looked so happy.
But then the happiness from her face was gone in less than a second. "What's wrong," said Syaoran in his
day-dream. "You don't love me... you said you hate me." said Sakura, who then broke down in tears.
"Sakura...I don't hate.." but just as he was starting to talk, the image of Sakura vanished and the last thing
she said echoed in his mind. "Good-bye my love....Good-bye my love.... Good-bye my love." He then
awoke from his day-dream to find that he had just walked into a pole and dropped to the ground.
"Sakura..." was all he could say.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sakura finally got to Syaoran's apartment. She then started running up the stairs as fast as she could.
"Syaoran... Syaoran are you here?!" she yelled when she knocked on his door. The door then slowly
opened. She stepped inside and started looking for him. She called out his name, but there was no answer.
She checked the kitchen, living room, bathroom, his room, but she did not find him. Sakura then decided to
check in Meiling's room.
Sakura walked into Meiling's room to see that it was empty. "I guess I am too late." she said to herself. As
she was about to walk out of the room, she saw that there was an envelope on Meiling's bed. It was
addressed to her. She then opened it and started reading it. After, she was done with the letter she was
angered by what Meiling wrote. "The place I always pictured it would be....hmm..." said Sakura to herself.
She then figured it out and ran out of the apartment.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Syaoran got back to where Meiling was sleeping and decided to wake her up. Meiling woke up and smiled
at the face looking down on her. Syaoran then saw that their plane had just arrived. He helped Meiling up
and they both hurried onto the plane.
They both seated themselves. It would not be long, until they were in Hong Kong. Meiling had fallen
asleep again and he started to fall asleep himself. He then closed his eyes and dreamed dreams.
~Dream Starting~
He sees the setting of his wedding again, still unclear to him. And he sees his bride, but this time it is
Meiling. He walks up to the altar and stands in front of Meiling. The minister says all the things he needs
to say. Then he says "If there is anyone who thinks these two should not be wed, speak now or forever hold
your peace." All of a sudden the door of the church flings open and someone screams "Stop the wedding
this instant!" But before he could tell who it was, he heard someone screaming his name. He then woke up.
~Dream Ends~
"SYAORAN WAKE UP, WE ARE HOME ALREADY!" screamed Meiling into Syaoran's ear. "AHHH,"
screamed Syaoran as he was awakened by Meiling. He then calmed down and walked off the plane with
Meiling.
They then walked into the airport and picked up their luggage... actually Syaoran picked up their luggage
and Meiling just carried her purse (figures). They were going to get a cab when a woman walked up to
them. She then hugged, both Syaoran and Meiling.
"Welcome home, my son." said the woman.
"Hello, mother." he said politely.
"I decided to surprise you two and come pick you up. When we get home, we have to start making the
plans for your wedding right away." she said.
Syaoran just sighed. His mother then got them into the car and they were heading home... home. Syaoran
never thought that he would ever come back, he missed his home in Hong Kong so much. He missed
having his family with him. But he started thinking if this was what he really wanted. He then started to
think about something else.
'Who was that person in my dream?' thought Syaoran. 'Would it come true....nah... it was just a dream
after all...right?'
