Chapter 5 GONE
By; ~*Angel of Light*~
The Sword was mere inches from Syaoran, when suddenly he disappeared. Syaoran opened his eyes, and found nothing in front of him. He looked around. Nothing. What?!?! Syaoran thought. He walked over, and picked Sakura up. He brought her to the hospital. " Doctor! Is my sister okay?!" Touya asked frantically as he and Fujitaka ran into the hospital. Syaoran had called Tomoyo, and told her to tell Touya, Syaoran didn't want to be the one to let him know that his sister was injured and fainted, with him, Touya would surely toast him. " She's okay, but she'll have to stay in the hospital for a few days, she is overly stressed and tired, take good care of her," Doctor adviced and walked away. Touya glared at Syaoran. Then he went to see Sakura. She was still asleep. Midnight came, and everyone left. Syaoran sat next to Sakura and waited.
The next morning, Sakura opened her eyes. Uh, where am I? Ow my arm hurts….Hey!! The shadow, what happened?? Sakura found Syaoran sleeping with his hand on his jaw, in his chair. He woke up as well. " Sakura! How are you feeling?" He asked. " I'm ok," Sakura said. As he helped her sit up. " What happened after you came?" Sakura asked. " Well it was weird. He was going to slash my throat, when, ….he just miraculously disappeared," Syaoran explained. " That's odd, oh well, did you get hurt?" Sakura asked. Syaoran blushed. " I'm fine, good thing he disappeared at the right time, one second, and I would be dead," Syaoran said with a sigh. " Arigatou for helping me,…..how long did you know about this?" Sakura asked. " Well, I knew before I came, that's why I came," Syaoran said. I was right,……he just came because of that, not for……. She thought to herself. She turned her head away, blinked from letting her tears fall. " Are you okay?" Syaoran asked. " Yes, I'm fine, it just hurts, and I'm tired. Oni-ichan's going to be here soon, you can go, I'll be fine," Sakura said. Syaoran stood up. " Well, if you need anything, call me," Syaoran said, just as Touya came in. He glared at him. The Chinese gaki stayed here all night looking after Sakura? He thought. Syaoran walked past him. " Sayonara," Syaoran waved.
Sakura looked out the window as Fujitaka drove her home. She couldn't get her mind off of Syaoran and what he said. She wondered if Syaoran really did come back to be sure the clow cards were safely kept, or to protect her and help her. Soran had visited her everyday and brought flowers for her. He was nice, and kind. " Sakura, I'll wait til you realize how much I love you, and that I am the one. I will be there for you. Please, give me a chance," Soran had said to her in the hospital. Sakura had not answered him.

A couple of months past. Nothing happened. No sign of the Shadow. Syaoran had stayed. Then a couple of months turned into a year. ………………. BRIINGGG Syaoran picked up the phone. " Moshi Moshi, Li Syaoran speaking," He said into the phone. " Xiao Lang! Good to hear from you again. When will you come back, The Clan needs you, maybe the evil force has given up, and the clow cards are safe, please come back," Li Yelan said through the phone. " Mother! I know something's going to happen I need more time though," Syaoran said. " * coughs* * coughs * Oh, Xiao Lang, I'm sick, please come home, to help, The clan depends on you," Li-san said. " You okay mother?" Syaoran asked . " I won't be if you don't come home soon, * Coughs *" She said. " Ok, ok mother I'll come back," Syaoran finally gave in. " Good, as soon as possible * coughs * Bye, and I want to see you home next week," and she hung up. " A week?!? Mother?" Syaoran tried to call after her. " Argh!" He slammed the phone down. Sakura……….. He thought.
He packed his bags and headed to the airport. He told Tomoyo, but didn't inform Sakura….. He didn't know how to face her. I'm sorry my Ying fa, but I have to return, Soran,…..maybe he'll be a better friend and perhaps lover, he had replaced me, he's gained more respect from others, Touya and Kero. I'm just the freaking leader of a clan, but not even brave enough to tell you how I feel…..Sayonara, Sakura Syaoran thought as he walked towards his flight. " LI SYAORAN!!" He heard a yell from behind him. He turned around to see a crying Sakura and Tomoyo who's filming them * Sweat drop * " S-Sakura!" Syaoran stammered. He glared at Tomoyo. " Li Syaoran, What makes you think that you can do this to me twice?!? You think you can just exit and come back into my life whenever you feel like it, You left my life 11 years ago, then you came back 1 year ago, now you're going again, Do you know the pain?!?! That you've given me?!? I have been angry, VERY angry with you, but I still longed for you to come back like you promised. You didn't do that. Now you're just back, and leaving to hurt me again?!?!" Sakura yelled in his face. Syaoran felt like a thousand knives had stabbed his heart. If words and glares could kill. This would be one of those. Tears welled up in Syaoran's eyes. While Sakura's tears fell down her face rapidly. " Gomen, I didn't know I could give you such pain," Syaoran replied. He was stunned. He couldn't have guessed that Sakura cared so much. " Well you have!" Sakura yelled. Syaoran starred at her, her beautiful face was all red and puffy, her lovely smile was curled into a thin line. " My family needs me," Syaoran said. Sakura looked him in his eyes. She slapped her hand across his face. Syaoran felt pain run through his burning skin. He put his hand on his face. A drop of tear ran down his face. The hurt went away from his face, but it remained in his heart. " Sayonara Sakura," And with that, Syaoran walked away. Sakura dropped to her knees tears poured down her face. Tomoyo ran to Sakura and comforted her. Sakura ran off angrily. " Sakura! Where are you going?!?" Tomoyo called after her. Sakura didn't listen, she kept running and running. She ran out of the airport, and out onto the streets, she looked up to see Syaoran's flight take off, and away, smaller and smaller the plane got farther and farther away.
She walked slowly home. Still sobbing. She laid in her bed. She didn't go to have dinner, she just locked herself in her room, Kero 's comforts was useless, She just cried herself to sleep.
Where am I?? Sakura looked around her, again, everywhere was dark
Then blinding light appeared out of nowhere, The evil shadow appeared. He destroyed houses
And streets, people ran away in fear. Sakura looked around her. This dream……..
Sakura thought. DIE pretty little Cherry blossom!! He screamed. He attacked her again and again.
Sakura dodged the attacks. But again, it wasn't working well.
Then, like she had witnessed before, he was to kill her, when somebody blocked the attack for her.
And something, happened, strangely he disappeared, when The shadow in front of her,
Shone a beam of light in to the evil shadow. Sakura turned to face the shadow. IT was ………..
………………………..Syaoran.
