Time
Frame: Syaoron has come back from spending the break
at home. Ming-chan has gotten to be good friends with Sakura, Tomoyo and Eriol.
Sakura met a couple of Ming-chan's friends at the Faye Wong Concert. Lan Qiou
and Chen Yuan. Both are freshmen girls. The term began the day before. Tomoyo
and Eriol are preparing to leave in two days.
hhhhh
'I must be going crazy.' Syaoron thought. 'I could swear I feel as if Sakura is near by.'
These and other
confusing thoughts were coursing through his mind as he approached his coed
dorm.
'It can't be. I'm
probably just tired from having to deal with clan affairs even on break.'
Syaoron thought. 'Yeah, that's it I'm just tired from the break. Sakura could
never be here, she's in Japan.'
After he had
entered his dormitory he decided to take the stairs instead of the elevator. It
would at least help to clear his mind of thoughts of Sakura, even if only for a
few minutes.
The elevator
doors opened just as he entered the stairwell and started to run up to his room
on the forth floor.
Five girls and a
guy stepped out from inside the elevator.
"Yuan-chan where
did you say this restaurant was again?" Eriol asked as they left the building.
'I thought I just felt Syaoron-kun.'
'I thought I just
felt Syaoron-kun.' Sakura thought. She looked to Eriol for any sign and when
she saw the puzzled look on his face she knew that she had felt Syaoron-kun,
but he wasn't anywhere near them. At least not that she could see.
Lately she had
been sensing his aura a lot. She had thought that it was just her mind playing
tricks on her because she missed him so much.
"Sakura, are you
okay?" Lan asked.
"Huh? Oh. I'm
fine, I was just thinking about something." Sakura said. "Come on lets get that
lunch cuz I'm hungry enough to eat a horse."
Shouts of "ditto"
and giggles rang though the group as they made their way to the restaurant that
was recommended by Yuan-chan.
hhhhh
Syaoron was already on the second floor when he felt the familiar pink aura of his cherry blossom. He stopped and tied to see if there was something there, but felt only a fading sensation in the back of his mind.
'Must be
imagining it again.' Syaoron thought. 'God I miss her! Baka why didn't you tell
her when you had the chance?'
But in his mind
he already knew the answer. It was because he was afraid. It's really funny
when you come to think of it. Li Syaoron, the leader of the Li clan, Clow
Master and sorcerer, who has faced and defeated Clow Cards, Guardian Beasts of
the Seal, evil warlocks, demons and his mother, well maybe not mom, is afraid
of saying three simple words to a simple girl.
No, Sakura is far
from simple. She is an angel that he could never hope to have. She is the one
thing he would want out of everything in the world. She is the person who stole
his heart and soul. She is the very essence of his existence. She is the
meaning for his life. She is the one thing he could never live without. His
purpose is to protect her and without that purpose he is nothing.
'Baka, you say
that now but what have you been doing to protect her? You haven't seen her in
three years, how do you know that she hasn't already found someone? How could
you hope that she waits for you? Hell, you never even showed her that you
cared, baka, baka, baka.'
'Not much use in
feeling sorry for your-self is there? ' Syaoron thought. ' I wonder if Ming Yi
is in?'
Syaoron got off
on the third floor and headed for Ming's dorm room. When he arrived he tried
knocking on the door, but no one answered. Then he found a note with his name,
tacked to the board outside her room. He took the note off and read it.
Uncle,
The whole group
of us went to a new restaurant that Yuan Yuan found.
We'll be out
until at earliest 5, just so you know.
If you need to
know where we are just call my cell.
See ya
later. ^_^
Love Ming Yi
'Hehe, I told her
dozens of times to stop calling me uncle, but I guess she just wants to make me
feel old.' Syaoron thought.
With the note in
hand he made his way up to his room which was directly above his nieces.
hhhhh
