Chapter 3: You Gotta Believe
Sakura stared up at me, at first with a smile, and then it faded. She looked down and then back at me.
"Li, I don't think you understand, I missed you. That's all!"
I just stared at her and felt my eyes swell with tears. It hurt to know that she didn't seem to care. I knew inside of me that without her I could not live, I wasn't complete. I reeled back the tears and opened my eyes.
"I missed you to Sakura, but we've got a problem!" Was all I could stammer out.
I explained to her that there was a force in Hong Kong and it had taken over Wei and possibly Meiling. The entire city was under some unexplainable trance and that there were new cards under this power. She stared blankly at me and said nothing.
"So that's why you came back?"
"We...well, yeah I guess so! But what's the matter with you Sakura?"
She just stared at me for a second and I noticed that she looked on the verge of crying. But I didn't say anything. Maybe she was just happy to see me or sad that she had gotten into that fight with Tomoyo. But I just couldn't keep quiet.
"Sakura I..."
She jumped up and ran into the bathroom that was right across the way. She was crying about something and every time I would bring it up, she'd just cry and run off or look away, I just couldn't get anything out of her, but I respected her privacy.

Why was I so sad every time I looked at him? How come every time he talked to me I thought that I was gonna fall in his arms for comfort. But no, I couldn't do it I'm not ready. The feelings were there, but I wasn't there.
"What's the matter Sakura" shot a voice from behind me.
"Huh?" I turned around and saw Tomoyo sitting in the floor. "Are you okay Tomoyo?" She looked up at me and said she was fine and she apologized for blurting out to Li about our conversation. I heard a faint knock on the door but didn't pay it any buy.
"Hey I knocked on the door 5 times, I'm coming in!"
No way! How did Kero get here, it didn't matter, he was already here.
"Kero! How'd you get here?"
"These wings aren't here for decoration, Sakura!"
"Sorry Kero, did you like my pudding?"
"Oh yeah, you know it! So what's the Li kid doing here?"
"He'll tell you, just ask him!" Was all I could say, I didn't think I could look him in the face.
* * *
What was Sakura doing? What if she and Kero were talking about me? And if that was true, then I had to believe.
"I might still have a chance!"
I knocked on the door and waited to be let in. The door slowly opened, but Sakura didn't look at me. Tomoyo was the one who opened the door. Kero just sat by the sink, scowling at me. I guess Sakura had told him, now I had to explain to the Guardian Beast of the Clow.
