A Stroll Down Memory Lane
I haven't seen you since forever, since we said goodbye and went our separate ways. But my love for you has lasted, and is still as strong as it would be had it been lit yesterday. Only now it has turned into a dearly thing, a memory that shall last, forever and ever, for eternity. And whatever shall come between us will resolve itself.
For from the moment I met you, I fell in love, and you became...part of me.
The alarm clock rang loud and clear in the peaceful mist of sleep. Sakura Kinomoto jumped out of bed, knocking over her alarm clock as she did. An asleep Kero poked his head out of a drawer.
"Hmm." Kero yawned sleepily, and watched Sakura run around the room, packing her bag for school. "You know-"
"I know Kero." Sakura said, picking up her clock and setting it back on her table. "I should pack in the night, but I'm just so tired and just want to think things over and go to sleep."
"What do you have to think over, the year's over, all of the Clow Cards are captured, what else?" Kero said. "A new semester lies ahead of you." Sakura paused, her back towards Kero.
"There are other things." She said quietly. Grabbing her hat, she calmly walked out of her room, her face towards Kero so he wouldn't see the hurt expression on her face.
"What now?" Kero wondered.
"Hey Sakura." Mr. Kinomoto said, setting the breakfast on the table. Touya narrowed his eyes at her.
"Uh, hey Touya." Sakura said, setting her bag down by the door and walked over to the table. "Hey, smells good." Mr. Kinomoto smiled and watched them eat, a smile visibly on his face.
"So, what do you plan on doing today?" Touya said as they both left the house. "Anything?"
"Yeah, my work." Sakura said cautiously, knowing that Touya had some comeback planned.
"Oh, so n-"
"Hey, wait up!"
Sakura turned around on her skates and skid to a stop. Touya stopped his bike and looked over his shoulder.
"Hey Yukito!" Touya waved. Yukito came to a stop on his bike.
"Hey, I saw you guys turn the corner." He said with a smile. "Thought I'd walk you both to school."
"All right." Sakura said. Touya nodded and the guys started to pedal. Panting, Sakura tried to keep up.
"Hey Sakura, you all right back there?" Yukito asked, looking over this shoulder. Sakura nodded, and then spotted Tomoyo not far away.
"Tomoyo!" She called. With a regretful look at Yukito and Touya, she sped away towards Tomoyo.
"Hey Sakura." Tomoyo said. "How are you?" Sakura shrugged as they walked to school.
"All right, it's not to bad." Her eyes traveled off a little, and became deeply muddled and distant. Tomoyo noticed this.
"Do you miss Syaoran still?" She asked.
"Somewhat." Sakura said. "I mean, sometimes, it's as if I don't want to bring his memory to a rest, to fear that if I did, I would stop loving him, and others I feel like I should just accept the fact that he moved back to Hong Kong to his family."
"So which one are you going to do?" Tomoyo asked.
"I'm sort of getting used to the fact that he's gone, and probably forever too." Sakura said. "But somewhat, I try to hold on to the last memories I have of him, and to hold them back, because if I release them, he's gone from me-forever." She added wistfully.
"Oh." Tomoyo said. Suddenly, the bell for class rang.
"Oh no!" Sakura said. "It's the first day of the new semester and we're going to be late!" Tomoyo hurried beside her as they ran to class.
When they got to the door, Sakura suddenly stopped.
"Sakura?" Tomoyo asked.
"It's our new semester, and the Clow Cards all are safe, ne?" Sakura asked. Tomoyo nodded. "We haven't traveled back in time, have we?"
"No, did I miss something?" Tomoyo asked. Sakura pointed in front of her.
"Why is Terada-sensei our teacher this year?" She said. Terada-sensei turned around.
"Sakura, Tomoyo, come in." Terada-sensei said. "Class is about to start."
"I feel as if we've gone back in time." Sakura said, looking at the desk behind her. "It's almost as if I could imagine Syaoran was here." Tomoyo looked at the empty desk behind her and shivered. Sakura giggled. It might've been a good thing that that desk was empty.
"Time sure flies past." Sakura whispered, more to herself than to Tomoyo. "I guess I am letting him go."
Class seemed to drag on by, and when it was finally over, Sakura walked down the cherry blossom path like she did every day. Was this how she was before she had the task of capturing the Clow Cards? How boring it was, going to school every day without a destiny. But she must put up with it. That was her life now.
It was about two weeks later when something rather peculiar happened. She was walking down the cherry blossom path, as usual, and she stopped when she felt someone's gaze fall upon her back. Who was watching her? She didn't dare turn, nor did she dare run. Footsteps came closer, and finally, a voice spoke out.
"Sakura?" It was somewhat pure, and all the joy that came with it. Oddly, Sakura turned around.
"Syaoran." She said. Her voice was steady and bland, as she looked him in the eye. It was as if she hadn't forgiven him for leaving her behind. And then she lowered her head. "How are you?"
Syaoran looked somewhat a little startled at first, but then smiled.
"Well, very well." Syaoran said.
"Uh, what are you doing here?" Sakura said. She longed touch him and see if he was really real.
"I came just to visit." Syaoran said. "Just for a week or two." Sakura nodded.
"Well, why don't you come over to our house?" She said, a little shaky. "Please do." She added. Syaoran accepted the offer and they walked to the Kinomoto house. Touya was working and so was Mr. Kinomoto. Sakura ran upstairs once Syaoran was comfortably in the living room and dumped the drawer that Kero was sleeping in out. Then she rushed to the phone and started dialing.
"Hey, what's the big deal?" Kero said, rubbing himself where he fell.
"Moshi-Moshi!" Tomoyo's voice came over the phone, somewhat cheerful and happy.
"Tomoyo, I'm in a desperate situation!" Sakura said. Kero widened his eyes and yawned, not believing her.
"Oh hi Sakura." Tomoyo said, as calmly as a purring cat. "What is it?"
"Syaoran is in my living room right this second." Sakura said.
"What?" Kero demanded. He flew out of the room and looked down the railing. "Oh no!"
"Kero!" Sakura said, snatching him back into the room. "Listen, Tomoyo, what'll I do?"
"Sakura, do you still love him?" Tomoyo asked.
"I-I'm not sure." Sakura said. Tomoyo raised her eyebrows (forgetting that Sakura couldn't see them over the phone). "I mean, I did, and then I sort of accepted the fact that nothing would ever come between us and that he's gone forever, and now he comes back! Oh!"
"What?"
"This is bad." Sakura wailed. Kero sat on the bed, watching her. "I can't seem to make up my mind!"
"I thought you said you loved him and will forever and ever." Tomoyo said.
"I know, I did, but it just seemed. And, well, I'm in a bit of a shock." Sakura said. "As to whether I still like him or not. Oh, why now? I'm so confused." Tomoyo tried to make sense of this.
"I don't really think I still do." Sakura said. "He is such a dear friend, only..." She stopped. "Sometimes I wonder, what happened?"
"He moved, accept it." Kero mumbled. Sakura looked ready to slap him. "And if you happen to remember, Syaoran's still in the living room."
"Oh, right!" Sakura said. "Oh no, I left him there all by himself! Um, Tomoyo, I, uh, um, uh-"
"Do you want me to come over?" Tomoyo asked.
"No, I think I can handle it." Sakura said. "But perhaps we could talk it over later tonight." Tomoyo smiled and agreed. Sakura hung up and ran down the stairs, Kero right behind her. As she rushed down, a question that had not occurred to her before suddenly popped up:
I wonder how he feels about me?
(Odd Cliff Hanger, I know) Please Review and tell me how I did, whether I should keep on writing. I hope that I will get enough motivation on this to continue, b/c I think it'll turn out to be a very sweet fic (but then, of course, I AM unpredictable...) !
