Lessons of the Growing Heart: Part 1
Why We Had to Go to China
By BlahBlahBlah
Sakura walked into the tranquil apartment after a hard cheerleading practice. She was tired, but it was a good tired. She had gotten a good work out. Syoaran was still at soccer practice and she had just enough time to take a shower and make dinner before he got home.
Setting her large red gym bag down, Sakura walked over to the answering machine and pushed 'PLAY.' "Message 1. 3:46 PM, Wednesday." The machine droned.
"Hey Sakura, it's Tomoyo. I finished designing your wedding dress and invitations! Now all I need is the wedding date. It all looks fabulous and it's perfect for you. I'm so glad you let me be your wedding planner! Call me! Oh, and P.S. You better call the guys. I need their measurements. I have to coolest idea for Kero's outfit!"
"The Guys" now meant to Kinomoto residence. Touya, Fujitaka, and Kero lived all by themselves. It was sort of like their bachelor pad even though Kero would probably never get married and Fujitaka never wanted to remarry. Even though they constantly told Sakura how much they wanted her home, she new they loved not having a girl around. 'They never have to put the toilet seat down, and never have to put anything away unless company is coming.' Sakura thought humorously.
"Message 2. 5:34 PM, Wednesday" The answering devise didn't give Sakura any time to think further.
"Syoaran, you can't hide forever. The Elder's keep getting closer and closer to where you are. I can only keep it from them so long. The clan isn't too happy either. They want their leader. You can't run from your responsibilities, Syoaran. If you wait any longer the clan could keep you in isolation training forever. You have to work something out, and sometimes ,Syoaran, certain things or people have to be sacrificed for honor and responsibilities. I know this will be painful for you, but you have to come home. I recommend coming alone, so you can say your permanent good-byes all together."
Sakura was in tears. How could Li have lied to her. He had said that they would be together forever. They were supposed to get married and live in a nice house with a white picked fence and have two kids and live happily ever after! This couldn't be happening!
(A Half Hour Later)
Sore and tired, Syoaran walked into his apartment. Where was Sakura. He didn't hear the shower running, or anyone cooking. Walking past the small kitchen to the living room Syoaran caught sight of Sakura. She had her head down in her arms. Syoaran got a little closer.
"You had a phone call from your mother," Sakura whispered with a sore throat. It was clear she had been crying. 'How could she know about that!' Syoaran thought in panic.
~~~~~ Flash Back to that Morning ~~~~~
Syoaran rolled over to the sound of the phone. Afraid to wake Sakura, he lightly put his feet on the floor and picked up the phone.
"Syoaran?"
"Yes"
"Are you alright?"
"Yes"
"Are you coming home?"
"No"
"Are you sure?"
"Yes"
"You know the consciences, righ..."
"Yes"
"Well, good-bye,"
"Bye"
~~~~ End Flashback ~~~~~ (Bet you wondered what that phone call was in the epilogue)
"Sakura, I was going to tell you," Syoaran tried to explain. Sakura was standing now, shaking with tears. "How could you not tell me? I tell you everything! I've told you everything since I was ten years old! How much haven't YOU told ME over these years! If you had told me this sooner I could have helped. Your procrastination has only made things worse! Why, Li, why!?" It hurt Syoaran that Sakura had gone back to using the name Li.
"Sakura, you have all the right in the world to be angry at me and I don't deserve your forgiveness. I thought that the problem would just go away if I ignored it! I was afraid I would lose you too soon. I wanted to be near you as long as I could. I felt like it was all going to end. I wanted to be with you as long as I could," Syoaran continued to explained, "Sakura, I love you and I couldn't bare to never see you again. I felt that we'd used up all our hope."
Sakura feel to her knees crying. Rushing over and wrapping Sakura in a comforting embrace Syoaran muttered, "Please forgive me." "Now we're going to lose each other again, but this time forever. It would be easier to stay mad at you in some ways, but not in the long run. Oh, Syoaran, why does loving someone so much make you unable to love anyone else," Sakura gave a weak laugh and rubbed her eyes, "Syoaran, you've ruined me. Now if your gone, I'm forced to wait for you even if you never come. How can love be so torturous and evil." Syoaran stroked her hair and answered, "It's not love that's evil. Love is the devine bliss that I feel at the very thought of you and the indescribably paradise I'm in when I hold you in my arms. Love gave me you to wake up to every morning that would make living in death barable. It's the fate that rips us apart that is evil. Fate is what you make it, though, so we can change the fate so that or love never dies."
Sakura laughed again. "You sure have a way with words, Syoaran. No one could ever be mad at you," Sakura kissed Syoaran lightly on the lips. "Try telling my clan that!" muttered Syoaran with a chuckle. The laughed a little bit and Syoaran stood up, grasped Sakura's hand, kissed it, and pull Sakura up. "Come on. I'll treat you to dinner. He can discuss the whole Elders thing later," Syoaran proposed. "You sure like to apologize with food," Sakura commented. "Well, they say the way to a guys heart is through the stomach so, if that's true, that way a guy expresses his heart is through his stomach. So what is your stomach thinking?" Syoaran concluded with a question.
"My stomach is thinking sushi,"
"Great stomachs think alike!" Syoaran resolved, so they both walked out the door towards a nice restaurant.
~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~%~@
After solving the immediate problem; coffee or ice cream, the magical duo agreed on ice cream. (Sakura won the debate)
Then the two brainstormed on the more serious problem. They both came to the same conclusion: they had to go to China and work thins out with the Elders and Clan. They began to pack immediately.
As soon as they had finished packing, Sakura made the necessary phone calls. "Moshi Moshi, Kinomoto residence" Touya picked up.
"Hello, nii-chan. Is dad there?"
"Yes, but he's busy"
"I'm pregnant"
"WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!"
"Just kidding!!!!!!!!!!!!! hahahahahaha"
"Don't ever do that to me again, kaijiu!"
"Well, I just called to tell you that I was going to China for awhile. Me and Syoaran-chan have to sort some things out in China with his family. We're leaving on the next available flight."
"That's almost as bad! I'm not going to let you go running of to China with that gaki by yourselves. You're not allowed to be a half an hour away alone with him, remember!?"
"Yeah, Yeah, Touya. Just tell dad we're going,"
"Don't you dare hang up on me!"
"Bye, Touya!!"
Sakura hung up the phone. Next Phone call;
"Moshi Moshi, Tomoyo speaking"
"Hi, Tomoyo"
"I'm going to China. I'll need you back here in Japan to make sure Touya doesn't follow me and for moral support."
"Sure Sakura. Call bi-dayly or I'm coming to China though"
"Sure, Tomoyo. See ya!"
"See ya!"
Sakura hung up the phone for the second time. "Ready to go?" Syoaran was leaning against the door frame with his arms crossed. "Sure, let's go!" Sakura said cheerfully. Syoaran picked up the bags and they were off to China, hand in hand. What a trail they were in for.
%%%%%%%%%%%%
A magical force anticipated the arrival and informed the two other magical beings. They wanted their freedom, and their wholeness, and this girl kept it in the palm of her hand. They would get what they wanted no matter what, and they knew just the most effective way to destroy the Card Mistress. Hit her where it hurts most, in her painful past, her lovely present, and her uncertain future. (BIG HINT!!!!!)
