.:: Promises- Chapter 2 ::.
"Mother, may I speak to you?" Syaoran asked as he stepped into the family room.
"Why, of course." Syaoran's mother said sweetly. She had a glowing smile.
"Mother...I...I want to go back to Japan."
"Now, why do you want to go back to Japan?"
"Oh, just to visit, I guess..." Syaoran said, trying not to make eye contact with his mother. Syaoran knew that his mother knew that he was lying.
"Oh, really?"
"Yeah! You don't believe me?"
"What do you think?" Syaoran's mother asked curiously.
"Okay, okay. I want to go back to see Sakura."
"So, that's why." Syaoran's mother exclaimed, pretending not to know. She smiled warmly.
"So, can I go?" Syaoran's mother was happy to see her youngest child in love.
"Of course you can." A smile instantly appeared on Syaoran's face. He hugged his mother.
"Thank you so much, mother."
"Anything for you, dear." He ran to his room, whipped out a suitcase and started to pack.
~*~On April 1~*~
Li was on the plane, soon to be landing at Tomoeda Airport. He held a picture of Sakura in his hands. It was a school photo. He thought she looked so kawaii in the picture. Her smile seemed to brighten the picture, her emerald eyes sparkled, her auburn hair shined. He loved everything about the picture. 'I'm coming back, Sakura. Just a little longer. Finally, I'll be able to see that beautiful smile of yours again.' He sat back in his seat, enjoying the rest of the plane ride.
An hour later, he finally arrived at Tomoeda Airport. As he was heading towards the phones to call a taxi, he began to think to himself, 'Why didn't I think of this sooner? This is the best idea I've ever come up with. What better way to keep my promise and surprise her is there than to show up at her house on her birthday? She'll absolutely love it!!' He called a taxi and soon, he was on his way to Sakura's house. He couldn't wait to see the look on Sakura's face when she see him.
Soon enough, he was at Sakura's house. He stood in front of the door. He began to give himself a little mental pep talk. 'Come on, Syaoran. You can do this. You didn't come all the way from Hong Kong for nothing. And anyway, you promised Sakura that you'd come back for her and now, you're
fulfilling that promise. Come on, now. It's not like she's not gonna recognize you or anything. (SN: hehehe. Boy was he wrong! ~.~) Okay, now ring that doorbell!' He breathed in and out a couple of times, straigtened himself up, and rang the doorbell. He could feel his heart begin to beat faster. Soon, he heard someone call from inside the house.
"I'm coming!" It was a female's voice. Syaoran was hoping that it would be Sakura. Syaoran quickly straightened himself out. Soon, a beautiful girl of 16 years, sparkling emerald green eyes, and bouncy auburn hair opened the door. Syaoran recognized her the second he saw her.
"I told you I'd come back for you." Without waiting for her reaction, he hugged her. But Sakura pushed him away gently. He gave Sakura a funny look. She gave him a funny look back. "What's wrong?" Syaoran asked, worried. Then the words he never thought he'd hear from her were spoken.
"I'm sorry, but do I know you?"
