I Do?

By: Starrie

The world seemed to stop for Sakura and Syaoran. They didn't care about anything other then the person they were with at that moment.

Suddenly, Syaoran froze

'this isn't right. How am I supposed to go on when I can't even let go of the past? Sakura is supposed to get married in two days, I'm only gonna make her confused'

he then quickly broke away with much regret from his behalf.

He stared at her with guilt in his amber eyes

"I-I-I'm sorry, I didn't mean to do that.it was an accident"

He stuttered as he backed away from her.

"Syaoran, wait!"

Sakura called out, but it was too late, he had already turned and gone down the steps, as much as she wanted to run after him, she knew she wouldn't make it on time.

She brought her fingers up to her lips.

Kissing him was like nothing she had ever experienced before. The kiss felt so right, not wrong like she had expected it to. That was her reason for not preventing it. That's when she finally excepted the truth. Sakura Kinomoto had fallen for Syaoran Li.again.

The truth hurt. Especially because she knew there was nothing she could do about it.

She let out a sad sigh and entered her apartment.

'I feel like calling Jake up right now and telling him the engagement is off. But, I can't do that. he's been good to me these past years and doesn't deserve something like this'

she didn't know what else to do so she immediately grabbed the phone and dialed the one person whom was always there for her, Tomoyo

(SN: did I mention Tomoyo and Eriol are married? If I didn't.they are)

"Hello?"

"Eriol? It's me Sakura, can I please talk to Tomoyo?"

"oh hey Sakura, sure hold on"

"..Sakura? what's wrong?"

"Tomoyo, you wouldn't believe what just happened.."

(a few minutes later)

"So he kissed you"

"no.I kissed him first"

"and he did nothing to stop it"

"yeah"

"oooh! Where was I! This would've made great footage!!"

"Tomoyo! Can't you see this is serious!!"

"oh right! *ahem* so what are you gonna do?"

"."

"Sakura?"

"yeah?"

"did you hear my question?"

"yeah"

"so."

"nothing"

"What!?"

"I'm not gonna do anything"

"but you told me it felt right! I'd think you'd be breaking your engagement right now instead of being here talking to me!"

"I can't do that to Jake! He's been good to me and I can't hurt him like that!"

Tomoyo tried to calm herself down

"Sakura, who do you love?"

".."

"I'm waiting"

"I'm.not.sure"

"oh come on! It's so obvious you've fallen for Syaoran again!"

"But what about jake!"

"Sakura, do you prefer to marry someone just because they've been nice to you and you'll feel bad if you don't, or do you prefer to marry someone because you love them and they love you back?"

"Jake loves me, and I.I.love him back"

the words Jake and love sounded foreign, even to herself

"Marry because of love, not because you feel sorry for someone. You'll regret it later on in you life if don't marry for love. You know love doesn't come back twice, and if it does, you're lucky and should hold on to it the second time. It's very unlikely it'll come back a third time around"

"Thanks for your advice, bye Tomoyo"

Sakura said as she hung up

She then sat at the foot of her bed staring at the engagement ring on her finger.

The ring looked out of place, as if it didn't belong there.

Sakura grabbed a velvet box from her dresser and took the ring off, she put the ring inside the jewelry box and put it back on her dresser. She then decided it was time to go to sleep, that is, if sleep came.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"What was I thinking!?"

Syaoran asked himself as he paced around his apartment

"I should have never kissed her!"

he then fell on top of his bed in frustration.

"I have to get out of here as soon as possible, for her sake and mines to"

"I'll end up doing something stupid if I stay for her wedding"

He then grabbed the portable phone and dialed a number.

"Hello, how may I help you?"

"Hello miss, I'm Syaoran Li, I have a flight to Hong Kong booked in for 4 days from now. Is there any possible way you can move it for tomorrow afternoon?"

"Let me check sir."

(A few minutes later)

"I'm sorry sir, but the only flight I can get you would be 2 days from now at.12:00pm"

'That's the day Sakura's getting married'

"I'll take it"

"alright sir, your flight will be two days from today"

"thank you"

Syaoran then hung up the phone and turned around on his bed.

At least he wouldn't be here for Sakura's wedding. That was a good thing though. Who knew what he would do if he stayed for the ceremony.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

(Day 4, one day before the wedding)

Jake and Tomoyo were having lunch at a café. They were discussing last minute preparations for the wedding, which was tomorrow

"Jake, can we stop talking about this and talk about something more on the personal level?"

Tomoyo eyed him seriously.

"Sure Tomoyo, what is it?"

"OK.are you sure that you and Sakura are doing the right thing by getting married"

"What do you mean by 'the right thing'

he said as he eyed her suspiciously.

"it's just that.are you sure it's true love that both of you have for one another?"

"Tomoyo, I know that at the beginning you didn't trust me and you didn't like the fact that me and Sakura were dating but, that was 5 years ago! I thought you were over it and haven't I've already proven how much I love Sakura? and that I'll never harm her?"

"it's not that.it's something else. Do you know the story behind Syaoran and Sakura?"

"yeah, they've been friends since grade school, but what does Syaoran have to do with all of this?"

"you have no idea"

Tomoyo let out a long sigh, this was gonna take time.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

(meanwhile)

Sakura was walking through the park with her friends Rika and Jerri. They had just come back from the catering place and cutting through the park.

"hey look at that cute guy over there-ohmigosh! He's heading this way!"

Jerry yelled excitedly.

Sakura turned her head to see Syaoran walking towards her direction. Immediately she felt a blush rising up her neck and into her cheeks. Images of yesterday night flooded her memory.

"hey Syaoran"

she said just above a whisper

"ohmigosh, Syaoran? As in Syaoran Li? I haven't seen you in years!"

Rika said as she immediately recognized the young man in front of her

"Hey Rika, long time no see"

Syaoran said as he smiled at her.

"Aren't you gonna introduce me to your friend Sakura?"

Jerri asked

"Oh right, Syaoran this is Jerri, Jerri this is Syaoran"

"Nice to meet you"

Syaoran said politely as he extended his hand to shake hers

"Likewise"

Jerri said with a smile on her face.

Sakura saw the look Jerri was giving Syaoran and didn't like it one bit.

She had known Jerri for the past 4 years and knew when she had her eye on someone.

"Sakura, can I talk to you for a minute?"

Syaoran asked her.

"Sure"

They then moved away from the other too.

"Ummmm.Sakura, about yesterday, I'm really sorry. I should have never done that. I'll understand if you never want to see me again"

"Syaoran, it's not all your fault I'm to blame too. I also want to say I'm sorry."

"So then it's settled. It was just an accident.right?"

Sakura stood there thinking for a while.

'Was it really an accident? It felt to right to be an accident'

"Right, an accident that's all it was"

She answered with a fake smile on her face.

"Sakura, we have to go! You're gonna be late to meet up with Jake!"

"Ummm.your friends are calling you"

"Oh right, ummm.I'll see you tomorrow at the ceremony right Syaoran?"

"Actually I."

He then looked into her eyes and felt sadness sweep over him.

"Yeah, I'll be there"

"Great! I'll see you then"

Sakura then ran back to her friends."

'Coward, can't even tell her you won't be here for her wedding'

Syaoran thought as he turned around to leave.

(Outside the park)

"Syaoran is so hot! Sakura you _have_ to hook me up with him tomorrow!"

Jerri squealed out in pure delight

"It seems as thought he love bug has bit Jerri"

Rika said while giggling

"But Jerri, you don't even know him"

Sakura pointed out matter-of-factly.

"What's there to know? He's hot, and seems like the smart type. He's everything I look for in a guy!"

"Hey! Syaoran is a lot more than just looks and brains! He's different from any other guy out there!"

Sakura practically yelled at Jerri.

"Sakura, calm down"

Rika said as she eyed her friend worriedly. She had never seen Sakura get so worked up about something.

"Yeah Sakura, calm down. I didn't mean he was just _that_. I bet he's way more"

Jerri then let out a small laugh.

"You know if I didn't know any better, I'd say you liked him or something! But of course that's impossible because you're marrying a great guy tomorrow"

"Yeah.right.It's impossible"

Sakura said while giving a fake laugh.

Now if only she could convince her heart of that.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

(At the café with Tomoyo and Jake)

"Sakura never mentioned none of that. I mean yeah she told me about a guy named Syaoran but you've just made me see how close their bond actually is"

"Yeah, you wouldn't believe how many times Syaoran has risked his life to save hers. Now Jake, I ask you the same question, as before, are you sure you're doing the right thing by getting married?

Please think about it. I know she's not going to say anything, its up to you. If you love her like you say you do, do it so she can be happy"

Tomoyo pleaded.

Jake smiled at Tomoyo and got up from his seat.

"Thanks for clearing some things up Tomoyo. Right now.I just feel like I need time to think. Good-bye"

He then left some money on the table, turned around and left the café.

'I'm sorry if I've hurt you, but it was the only way'

Tomoyo thought sadly as she too stood up and walked towards the exit.
