Finding Him- Part 4
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sakura dully looked out at the horizon. She was sitting out on her balcony with Kero-chan sitting in her lap. The day's events kept flashing across her mind. She missed him so much and she had kept her promise. She had waited for him while he broke his promise and never returned. When she finally found him, he is about to get married. Hot tears slid down her cheek. She bowed her head and silently cried for the love she lost.
Kero looked up when something wet hit him on the head. "Sakura. Sakura, stop crying. You're getting me wet!" Another tear fell and hit him right between the eyes. "Oye Sakura! You're getting me wet right now and I don't need a bath." Sakura ignored Kero and kept crying.
Kero shook himself off and flew up next to Sakura's hand. He patted her hand, trying to comfort her. "Its that gaki huh, Sakura? You miss him and he's about to get married. That's it huh?" He watched Sakura nod her head. Kero sighed and said, "Everything will be alright, don't worry. Go to sleep Sakura." He pulled Sakura to the bathroom and flew to her suitcase to get Sakura's pajamas. He gave them to her and said, "Take a shower, change into those, and then go to sleep. It's getting late and you don't want to be the last one out like today." He closed the door and heard Sakura turn on the shower. Kero sighed and begun to tidy up the room.
Sakura padded out of the bathroom later. She dried her hair and got into bed. Kero flew up to her and curled up on the pillow next to hers. She opened her mouth and whisper, "Arigatou, Kero-chan. Good night." Then she turned off the light. As she laid there in the dark, she remembered why she felt so sad and why her heart felt like it was no longer there. Silent tears fell from her eyes and Sakura cried herself to sleep.
Kero had watched and heard the whole thing. 'Someday,' he vowed, 'Someday, I will talk to that gaki and tell him how much he hurt my Sakura and I'll… I'll bite his finger.' Kero grinned in satisfaction. He would not let some Chinese brat get away with hurting his mistress.

Sakura fell behind the others. Today, the kids wanted to do some shopping before they went to China. After they went to China, the kids would come back to Hong Kong for one more day and then they would fly back to Japan. She walked past a small street store that sold hairpins. Sakura's hand went up to the hair ornament she was wearing today. It was a small pink flower and Yukito-san had bought it for her at a booth like this one. Sakura examined the trinkets carefully and one caught her eye. It looked like a cross between the hair ornament the mysterious water lady had worn and the hair ornament Syaoran's okaa-san wore. She was so busy looking at the hair ornament that she did not notice someone was watching her.

"Syaoran! Wake up! Come one Syaoran, you've never slept this late before. Wake up!"
Syaoran stirred and reluctantly opened his eyes. "Meiling, what are you doing?"
"I'm waking you up. It's past nine. We've got to go and look for Sakura."
"Huh?" Slowly Meiling's words sunk in. "Past nine! Oh my god!" Syaoran jumped out of bed.
Meiling chuckled and said, "Get dress then come out and eat breakfast. After that we'll go and find Sakura."
Syaoran nodded and Meiling left his room.
Syaoran walked outside to see his mother, his sisters, and Meiling talking about something. He sat at the table and begun to eat the breakfast set out for him. While he was eating, he felt six pairs of eyes on him. "What?" he finally asked. "Why is everyone looking at me?"
Finally his eldest sister spoke up. "Why are up so late? We expected you up at dawn so you could have all day to search for you're beloved."
Syaoran sheepishly scratched his head and said, "Well I was sort of worked up last night so I didn't go to sleep until late last night."
Syaoran looked up as his mother cried out, "Ha! I told you! I'm right!" He watched amazed as his sister and Meiling grumbled and pulled out some money and paid his mother.
"Umm, Meiling, what did I miss?"
Meiling paused and then said, "We had a bet on when you would wake up. You're sisters said you would be up at dawn, I said you would be up by six and you mother said you would be up all night, go to sleep late, and would wake up late. We didn't think she would be right."
Syaoran gave his mother a quizzical look. "How did you know I would do that?"
His mother grinned at him and said, "I knew you would do that because I know my son."
Meiling said, "Anyway, while you were asleep, we did your work for you."
"Huh? What are you talking about Meiling?"
The youngest of Syaoran's sisters spoke up. "While you were sleeping, I went shopping and guess who I found?" Before Syaoran could answer, she said, "You're precious cherry blossom! Yup, that's who I found. Once you finish your breakfast, I'll tell you where she was."
"Onee-san, why won't you tell me now?"
"Because," Syaoran's mother said, in a matter-of-fact voice, "if she tells you where she found your cherry blossom, you would run out of here and now finish your food slowly."
Syaoran opened his mouth to protest but he closed it because he knew they were right. He would have ran out of there as fast as he could. He ate his food and when he finished Meiling cleared the dishes away. "Well, onee-san, where did you see Sakura?"
His sisters giggled and the youngest of the four said, "I saw her at the Cat Street Bazaar. She was there with that good-looking brother of hers and his friends. They were also with a bunch of kids, a lady, and her baby. They were all shopping and Sakura looked a little sad. She was wearing a pretty pink cherry blossom hairpin. She looked really cute." All of Syaoran's sisters giggled again.
Syaoran got up. "I'm going to go and look for her now."
Meiling and the others waved to him.
Syaoran asked, "Meiling aren't you coming with me?"
She shook her head. "I think its best if Sakura doesn't see me with you. It might hurt her."
Syaoran nodded and left to search for his cherry blossom.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Syaoran sighed. He had been searching for hours and he still couldn't find Sakura. Once again, he walked up and down the Cat Street Bazaar as well as the shopping areas near it. He couldn't find her. Suddenly a thought came to mind. "That's it! Why didn't I think of this earlier." Syaoran reached out with his power and searched for a pink power. After a while, he found what he had been looking for but something disturbed him. A strange aqua-green aura was close to the pink one.
Syaoran quickly took off after the pink aura and prayed he got there before the aqua-green one did.
