A Stroll Down Memory Lane 2
"Hey Sakura." Syaoran smiled at her as she ran down the stairs.
"Hi." Sakura said blushing. "Um, sorry I took so long. Do you want anything do drink?" Syaoran smiled.
"Sure."
"Okay." Sakura said, nervously. She walked into the kitchen and began to get some drinks when Kero flew in.
"I see the kid is making himself quite comfortable." Kero said, peering into the living room. "Hey!" Sakura turned to look at him. "Is that cake I see?"
"Not now Kero!" Sakura said. "That's the desert. I'll bring some for you after dinner." Kero whined and agreed. "Okay." Sakura said, holding the drinks, and looked around, wondering if she forgot something.
"You're so nervous you can't stay in the same room as him." Kero teased into Sakura's ear. "I say you still like him."
"That's not true, I'll show you that I CAN stay in the same room." Sakura said, giving Kero a push and walking out of the kitchen.
"Ooh." Kero groaned, lying on the kitchen floor.
"Here." Sakura said, setting the drinks down before Syaoran. "Make yourself comfortable."
"All right." Syaoran didn't move, and seemed to be gazing at her (he was actually comparing his memory of Sakura to the present Sakura to see how much she had changed). Sakura blushed, and made a mental note to strangle Kero for saying the things he did in the kitchen, which kept coming back to her and making her blush.
"So, um, how are your sisters and mother and Meilin?" Sakura asked. Syaoran tilted his head and reached for his drink.
"They're all right." He replied. "The usual. All of them decided to stay in Hong Kong while I'm visiting."
"Meilin too?" Sakura asked, surprised. Syaoran nodded. Sakura felt a little uneasy. The conversation was going nowhere.
"Oh, yeah, Meilin." Syaoran's eyes drifted off a distance. "She's here." He looked around. "She said on the plane that the first thing she was going to do when she got back was to strange that 'stuffed animal'." Syaoran paused, and looked around. "Where is he?"
"Right here!" Kero said, bursting into the room. "And for your information, I am NOT a stuffed animal!"
"He certainly hasn't changed any." Syaoran said, observing Kero. "Looks and sounds exactly like the last time I saw him." There came a knock at the door.
"I'll get it." Sakura said. "Kero, hide." She walked up to the door, her heart still beating quite rapidly. "Oh, hi Meilin." Meilin tried to look into the room. "Um, are you looking for Syaoran?"
"Is he here?" Meilin asked, glancing at Sakura. Sakura nodded and pointed towards the living room. Meilin dashed in and perched herself on Syaoran's arm. "Syaoran." She said in a whiny voice. "You promised me that you'd take me to the park today."
"But we've been to King Penguin Park so many times." Syaoran started to protest.
"Before." Meilin said. "It's probably changed now."
"Actually-" Sakura began.
"Besides, I want to see all my other favorite places too." Meilin said. "Come on, Syaoran." Syaoran gave in and allowed himself to be dragged out the door. No one noticed he managed to leave a note, wedged in the couch, and he left the hat he was wearing on the table as well. As he went, and as Meilin was babbling about Tomoeda's attractions, Syaoran managed to pull Sakura close and whisper in her ear.
"Don't worry, I'll be back." He winked and disappeared out the door.
"What's that supposed to mean?" Sakura asked the door, touching her ear lightly. "Oh, Tomoyo." She dashed to the phone and dialed Tomoyo's number. "Tomoyo!"
"Sakura, is that you?" Tomoyo asked, sounding distant.
"What are you doing?" Sakura asked.
"Um, cleaning out my room." Tomoyo said. "See, it started out as I was looking for your costume, and then I went through all my clothing…" Tomoyo rambled on. Sakura sweatdrop. "So, is Syaoran still there?"
"No, Meilin came and dragged him away." Sakura said. "But, when he was leaving…" She trailed off.
"Yes?" Tomoyo asked.
"Well, he said, um, 'Don't worry, I'll be back.'" Sakura said, blushing.
"I knew he still likes you!" Tomoyo said, making Sakura blush even harder. "You're not supposed to worry about him, Sakura, he always will."
"But Tomoyo, Meilin…" Sakura started. "Huh?" Kero burst into the room and up the stairs. "What the-?"
"Hey, I'm home!" A voice yelled.
"Oh, hey Touya!" Sakura yelled.
"Touya's there?" Tomoyo asked.
"Yeah, I'm so glad that he didn't meet Syaoran leaving." Sakura said. "I still don't think they like each other."
"They may not, but I'm sure Syaoran and you do, Sakura." Tomoyo said. "Did he say how long he's staying?"
"About two weeks." Said Sakura, who couldn't help the wistfulness come out of her voice. Tomoyo knew it now and was positive that Sakura still loved Syaoran.
"She just couldn't help loving him." Tomoyo said to herself, in her room, which was filled with clothes. Tomoyo blushed at the prospect and sighed.
"What's wrong Tomoyo?" Sakura asked.
"Oh, nothing." Tomoyo said. "I just feel as if you're slipping farther and farther from both Syaoran and me every day, and no one can pull you out."
"Oh." Sakura's eyes traveled onto the floor, and landed on a pair of black slippers. "To-ya!"
"Yes?" Touya asked. The doorbell rang. "I'll go get that."
"No, I will." Sakura said, panicking. "I'll talk to you later, Tomoyo!" She hung up and dashed towards the door, tripping over Touya and picking herself up.
"Gee, what's the rush?" Touya asked, glancing down the hall towards the door.
"Meilin." Sakura said. "Hi, where's Syaoran?"
"Right here." Meilin said, reaching behind her. "Huh? Oh, he's disappeared. Syaoran! Where are you?" She paused for a breath. "He left his hat in your house."
"I'll go get it." Sakura said, running to fetch the hat. "Oh." She noticed an envelope sticking out of the couch. "To Sakura, from Syaoran." Sakura said, reading the label on the envelope.
"Sakura, who's at the door?" Touya asked, walking in. Sakura stuck the envelope into her pocket and snatched up Syaoran's hat from the table.
"Oh, just a friend." Sakura said, dashing out the door "Here Meilin." Meilin smiled and took the hat.
"Thanks Kinomoto." She said. "Syaoran!"
"Patience, Meilin." Syaoran muttered from the side of the house to himself. "Okay, I may not be very good at archery, but I'll try." He put a red rose on the bow and sent it flying into Sakura's open window, followed by a pink one, yellow one, and white one. "Time to get out of here." He stuck the bow behind a nearby bush and walked out to Meilin.
"Here I am." He said. "Sorry, I was looking at something."
"What?" Meilin said.
"Ouch, ah, Ow!!!!" There came the sound of yelling.
"Kero!" Sakura gasped. "Oh no, and Touya."
"Ow, it hurts!" Syaoran yelled. "Ow!" Touya, who was heading up the stairs, turned around and rushed out the door.
"You!" He said, spotting Syaoran.
"Hi." Syaoran said, waving a hand. "Sorry about that, I just cut my finger. We'll be getting along now." He grabbed Meilin's arm and dashed off.
Sakura blinked, then dashed upstairs.
"Kero!" She exploded. "Touya's in the house, you know."
"Thorns." Kero managed to say.
"Huh?" Sakura looked and saw four roses on her bed. "Where'd this come from?"
"That." Kero said angrily. "Came shooting through the window!" Kero flew over to the window and slammed it shut. "There we go."
"Oh." Sakura picked up the pink rose. "They're so pretty. Hey, there's writing on it." She squinted and tried to read the words engraved on the stem.
"You're as pretty as a pink rose." Sakura blushed. "How cute." The yellow rose red, "And as prized as a golden one." Kero rubbed his head.
"Gee, I wonder who that could come from." He said. Sakura blushed even harder.
"The red rose says, 'I love you' and the white one says, 'Forever and ever.'" Sakura sighed, and pulled out Syaoran's letter out of her pocket and began to read it.
"Dear Sakura." It read.
You're probably still wondering why I came back to Japan. It can't be for a vacation, and it's not for a vacation, though I managed to convince everyone else otherwise. Sakura, I've tried and I can't stay away from you. I thought separation would heal my wounds and make me forget about you, but absence has only made everything more dear and prized to me, and I can't help loving you all the more. Please forgive me for anything that I have said or done, and please give your dear little Syaoran another chance.
Love, Syaoran."
Sakura looked up from reading the letter and said, so silently that Kero made no comment, so silently that she was talking to herself.
"He wants me to give him a second chance. He thinks that he went wrong." Sakura said. "And..." She paused. "He still loves me."
Note for the reader: Since school is about to start again, I will be very busy, so the next chapter of this probably won't be up for weeks. I guess it all depends on the number of reviews and whether I have time to write or not. Writing time is squeezed out of all my other activites, and reviews give me much motivation. So, please be patient, even if it is a long time before the next chapter of A Stroll Down Memory Lane comes out. Thank you!
