Can't Lose You Now
Chapter 2
She woke up abruptly to an unexpected sight Touya was sitting on her bed in front of her just staring at her with an annoyed smirk.
"About time you woke up monster, it's already time for dinner."
"Don't call me that Touya. I was just a little tired so I took a nap."
She yelled.
"Well do you know you snore like a monster?"
"Touya!"
She yelled again.
"How long have you been"
She started, but stopped mid yell tears shining. She got out of her bed and went over to her pesky brother and hugged him.
"I love you Touya"
He couldn't have been more shocked by his little sisters reaction. But he could sense something was wrong with her. It wasn't normal for her to yell at him so much just because he called her monster. But it was even more unusual for her to stop mid yell. He hugged her tightly and assured that he loved her and that he was just concerned about her, and wanted to know if she wanted something to eat. She smiled up at him.
"You didn't have to sit in my room and stare at me Touya"
He sighed.
"Come downstairs for dinner squirt"
She growled but followed.
"Sakura how are you? Yes hello honey"
Mr. Kinomoto and Yukito greeted. She looked at her father for a moment. She shortly after ran to him and gave him a hug.
"I love you dad"
Her father hugged her tightly and reassured her. She flashed him a smile and than ran off to go set the table. Mr. Kinomoto just looked at his daughters retreating form. He noticed something about her that was dim, but Yukito interrupted his thoughts.
"Are you all right Mr. Kinomoto?"
"Yes Yukito, I just noticed something about Sakura I can't quite put my finger on."
After about 15 minutes Sakura returned from the dining room.
"Tables all set."
She announced rather blandly.
"Good then I'll setup the table and get the food"
Yukito and Mr. Kinomoto announced.
At around 5:00 they sat down to eat dinner peacefully and quietly with a little chitchat here and there. But mainly Touya, Yuki, and Mr. Kinomoto were watching Sakura eat with worried looks on their faces. When dinner was all done and cleaned up it was going on 6:15.
"I'm going to upstairs."
Sakura yelled to her family and Yuki as she ran up to her room. She opened the door to her room and plopped on her bed, and laid there for a long while in silence. Just staring at Kero.
"I love my father as well as my brother. Is that what I needed to remember?"
She continued to herself.
"When the Void card voids an emotion it displaces them in all forms. You've recovered love for your family. How'd you get it back anyway?"
She put her to her chin in thought.
"I was having a dream then was woken up when I heard someone saying 'monster'. I yelled at him and told him not to call me that. And told him I was just a little tired so I took a nap. And he said I snored like a monster. I started to ask him why he was in my room anyway and a part of my dream flashed through my mind when Touya was defending me from Syaoran once when he pushed me to the ground. And when I looked at him I realized I loved the guy as big of a pain as he can be. And when I saw my father an overwhelming feeling of admiration and love filled me. I truly love me family"
She finished with a strained smile. She yawned and looked at her clock and noticed it was 7:45.
"I'm tired, so I'm gonna lay down."
She lay her head on her pillow and sleep came quickly.
~DREAM~
Sakura was with Tomoyo, they were on an outing with everyone there, her family, the cards, Kero, Her friends even Syaoran was there but he had a glow round him that struck her as odd. Sakura was slowly being drawn away from the gathering though, seeing everything from a spectator's view. "Are these people I care about?" She asked herself. "I know I love my family what about everyone else there?" She asked herself very confused. Then she saw that glowing Syaoran was disappearing, and he was slowly fading away. As he was leaving her heart started to ache a little. "Why does my heart hurt just because that glowing Li guys leaving?" Then the scene changed completely black, and clips were flashing before her eyes. Times when Tomoyo helped her and defended her. Then everything turned white and she slowly opened her eyes.
~END DREAM~
*MEAN WHILE~
Somewhere in dark space a young man was slowly waking up. And found that he was restrained by something. He looks ahead of him to see an entity of some kind in front of him grumbling like they're in pain.
"Why am I here? Who are you? What do you want?"
He babbled rather quickly. The entity in front of him just gave him a knowing look.
"My dear young Card Captor, descendent of Clow. You're playing an important role."
"A role in what?"
"The young mistress needs to learn and accept something or bow to me as a greater being. I will not be denied any longer. I am the most powerful, that's why I was kept separate from my friends tha fellow Clow Cards."
"What do you need with me then, She can learn nothing from me, she probably is glad that I'm gone."The Chinese teen seethed.
"You're only partially right young descendent of Clow. She knows you are gone but she is not at this moment the same mistress you love"
He blushed and turned a bright pink.
"I don't love her! I don' t even respect her. But what have you done to her!"
He demanded. She just gave him another knowing smirk, and lightly laughed before she continued.
"You can say that and try to convince your self that, but I can find the emotion of which I am void. Especially when it is so strong. It is very deep and true between Sakura and you. But she's as unsure as you are."Sakura woke up to hear her clock yelling at her. It was already 5:30. And for once she didn't have to hurry, because she was going to be early for school. She grabbed a school uniform out of her closet and went to the bathroom to get dressed. She went into the kitchen and saw her father making breakfast. He looked at her for a long moment.
"Hello Sakura, what gets you up so early?"
She kindly smiled at him then she sat down at the kitchen table.
"I even have time to sit down and enjoy my breakfast."
She mumbled to herself. She finished her breakfast and said good bye to her father. She then strapped on her rollerblades and was on her way to school. She got there within 15-20 minutes. She arrived at school and sat on a bench and took off her skates than made her way to her locker to put her stuff away. On her way to class a few guys stopped and talked to her and asked her out for the weekend. She accepted 2 dates and told the other ones some other time.
The guys who's dates she accepted were happy but confused. She's never said yes to anyone before. But many guys were scared that her friend Syaoran would kill them. But she was totally oblivious to that fact, especially now. She walked into homeroom and sat in her seat, a sullen expression plastered to her face. She happened to glance at the seat behind hers and a pain entered her heart only for a moment but it was felt.
"Hello Sakura"
Tomoyo cheerfully greeted as she sat down next to her troubled friend.
"Hello Daidouji-sama, how are you this morning?"
Tomoyo looked at her best friend with a hurt expression that didn't seem to faze Sakura she turned to look behind her at the empty desk once more.
"Who sits there?"
She pointed behind her, as she asked Tomoyo who wasn't fully paying attention. She never answered her thought were consuming her, until a voice broke the silence.
"Hey you guys Have any of you seen Syaoran? He never came home from your little fiends trip, and Wei doesn't even know where he is?"
Her high voice questioned frantically.
"That's weird Meilin, Yesterday after the cave adventure I couldn't find Sakura or Syaoran anywhere."
Meilin's eyes narrowed into pinholes.
"Sakura what have you done with Xiao-lang? I know you had something to do with it. Where did he go? Just because we're no longer engaged doesn't mean I'm going to let you break his poor little heart. What could he possible see in…"
She stopped herself before she finished what she was going to say. Tomoyo's eyes widened, she new what the fiery eyes girl was going to blurt out. Btu Sakura on the other hand was totally oblivious. She just turned her head to the front of the room to see her teacher staring at Tomoyo, Meilin, and her. Suddenly she remembered something.
"Daidouji, Kero told me that I remembered family love. Love for my father and Touya."
She whispered with a small but genuine smile.
"That's great"
She whispered back. Class passed by very slowly droning on about equations, formulas, and synthesis. Finally the lunch bell rang. Sakura went to her locker to grab her lunch than sat alone under a special cherry blossom (She doesn't remember but it was the one that her and Syaoran would sit under sometimes together.) and ate her lunch. While she sat alone she began to think about her dream the night before.
"Daidouji Tomoyo is m- my friend? What does that mean!"
She yelled to herself, throwing her head in her knees. As she stared into the darkness with her eyes shut an image played before her.
Sakura was having an argument with Meilin over Syaoran. She was telling Meilin that she had no feelings for him beyond friendship. (Well that's how she thought at that moment.) Her mind whirled as she focused on the memory. Meilin was getting angry with her because of her quote unquote lying. She managed to hit her once in the face giving her a small cut. She was actually going to hit her again, but Tomoyo stepped in the way to protect Sakura and Meilin not wanting to hit the gray haired girl moved out of the way causing her to fall to the ground. Tomoyo turned to offer her friend with the bloody cheek, offering her a hand up and a comforting smile.
Suddenly Sakura's head shot up. She felt feelings come over her.
"Tomoyo how could I ever forget you? How could I forget Yuki, Chiheru, Rika, Yamazki, Naoko, even Meilin. How could I forget any of you? You're my friends."She quickly got to her feet and ran to find Tomoyo. She happened to go by the lockers and she found her. She ran up behind her and tackled her in a hug. Tomoyo was caught by surprise and looked to see what grabbed onto her. She looked and was surprise to see Sakura. Sakura got up and took a step back from her friend. "Tomoyo I'm so sorry I forget you"
"Oh, hi Sakura. I'm waiting for Touya to return home"
Well that's the end of Chapter 2 I hope you've liked it. I hope you'll review and let me know what you think.
