Chapter 3: Realizing The Truth Within
---------------
Sakura was sitting upright on her bed, after that wonderful date she had with Motoki. She sighed and thought it had all been too good to be true, not believing it had happened.
~* Flash Back *~
They had gotten to Motoki's apartment a few minutes ago, and they were both snuggling on the couch watching one of those chick flicks that guys watch for the one sole purpose of entertaining their dates. As the two lovers kissed, the words in fancy type lettering 'The End' appeared and Motoki shut the television off.
Sakura yawned and streched out her arms, "So, what would you like to do now?" she asked placing her hands down.
He shrugged, "We could..get to know more about each other a little," he suggested.
"Great idea!" she said while laying on his chest, giving out a sigh, "So what brings you here in Tomoeda? I mean...I've lived her my whole life. I've never seen you before,"
He somewhat agreed, "I came here from Tokyo, about two or three hours away from here. I moved because I needed to go to school here, even though I didn't want to leave my family."
"Oh," she said
He broke the seriousness that had lasted for some time, "So what about you? I *know* for a fact that I'm not the only guy you've gone out with in your whole life," he smirked
She grinned a little then it disappeared, "I..did," she sighed, "He left me, a long time ago,"
He was a bit suprised, "Why would he leave a great girl like you behind?"
Trying desperatley to hold back those hurtful tears she responded, "I don't know. He broke up with me...and left Japan," she said as a tear finally came out, which she quickly wiped away. No. She couldn't cry for Syaoran-kun anymore. He's long gone and he's never coming back. Accept the facts. He's gone and there's nothing you can do about it.
Motoki was quite speechless, "How cruel," he muttered but then realized that Sakura could have loved this guy a lot, "I-uh... I didn't mean that Sakura.."
She looked up at him, her cheeks having some teary marks and stains on them, "It's okay. You're right. He was cruel. And cold-hearted. Which he'll live with for the rest of his life," she murmured.
"Sakura..." he said as he gazed into her emerald green eyes, "You know..I'd never hurt you.."
She smiled as the gap between their lips met.
~* End Of Flash Back *~
Sakura was left smiling proudly on her bed, and Kero of course had to notice it.
"What are you smiling about?" he asked, relieved she was happy again. It had been awhile since he'd seen that face. The one that showed love.
"Motoki kissed me," she said with a grin, "And...I think.."
Kero raised an eyebrow, "Continue,"
"I think..I love him," she said, "I mean, I never thought I could love another person besides Syaoran, but now I realized I can. I was just to caught up thinking how depressed I was losing him to out and meet another person,"
He showed a slight bit of worryness, "Are you sure Sakura? Sometimes, you don't really know if you're in love,"
"Oh, I'm sure Kero-chan," she said eyeing him a little, "I know,"
He rolled his eyes and crawled into his drawer, "Suit yourself kid. Just be careful okay?" he said full of concern.
Sakura shook her head, "So little faith you have in me Kero. Of course," she said and got into bed, with her dreams...
~!~
Syaoran was in bed, tossing endlessly and turning constantly, which was obviously disturbing Mizuki who was trying to get some rest, for she had some training she needed to work on the following day. She sat up on her bed and woke Syaoran up, revealing her silky red Chinese pajama robes, while he had on green ones.
"Syaoran, is there something wrong?" she asked him looking at him with her hazel eyes, filled with worry and concern.
He groggily got up and his honey-colored eyes darted away from hers, "No," he lied. Apparently there was something wrong with him.
She knew he was lying. He's been going for days, sleepless, without any food, and just so distant. "Syaoran, look at me," she commanded as he admitted defeat and turned to face her, lifting his eyebrow. "Syao-sama, you know you can tell me anything," He slowly nodded, "For gods' sakes, I'm your wife! And yet you don't tell me anything about what you've been constantly been thinking about. Why?"
He let out a long sigh, "Mizuki.." he started, oh boy, this was going to be a long talk, "I..I can't really put into words what I've been thinking about. I've just been a little lost," he was being quite honest. He really couldn't. How was he going to put this? The reason why I've been acting this way was because of a few little words like, 'I hate you' that came from the chestnut haired girl from Japan he really cared about and have been haunting him ever since he left? I think not!
She put a reassuring hand on his warm shoulder, "I'm just trying to help you. If it's best for you to not tell me, it's ok," she said comfortingly. He gave her a faint smile, "Thank you, Mizuki-chan," he said, "I'm gonna go downstairs and get a glass of water to clear my head," She nodded and pulled the covers. He gave her a brief kiss on the cheek and walked out of the bedroom, to the kitchen.
As he walked down the stairs, he could see Meiling sitting on the living room sofas sipping a cup of tea, looking at an old photo album. She was a little startled when she heard footsteps coming closer, but relaxed when she saw it was only him and gave him a smile.
"Couldn't sleep?" she said flipping the page as he took a seat next to her.
"Yeah," he said as he looked at the photo album, and what a coincidence, most of those pictures had Sakura and himself in there together, "You're right,"
She looked up from the album, "Huh?"
He hated admitting anything to anyone, "You were right. I can't get her out of my mind," he sighed.
Meiling's eyes widened a little, but wasn't surprised. He would have 'fessed up sooner or later. She just had that instinct feeling, he'd always love Sakura, or think about her anyway, "Why? Is it because you still love her?" she asked
He didn't reply to that but simply said, "I just can't get over that day when she said...she hated me,"
She looked at him and saw distinct sadness in his eyes. He ruffled his auburn hair for a while and dropped his hand, "Sorry. I guess it seems pathetic..doesn't it?" he said, trying to lightly laugh it off.
"No," she mumbled, "I'm sure she didn't mean it Syao-kun, she was probably upset you broke up with her just like that. It was maybe a shock and couldn't find the right words to say.."
He brightened up a little, "You really think so Meiling?" with his eyes full of hope.
She nodded, "I know so," she smiled at her misguided cousin. She sighed, thinking of a plan, that just might work. This was going to be a very difficult task to complete, but she had faith that she could possibly, make this work out.
~*~
Sakura was in a deep sleep in her dreams...
~~~
Sakura was inside of a small little chapel. Looking around, she gazed in awe. The place was covered in white. The pews were decorated with white lace and there was a white rose on each end. The alter was empty just like the whole chapel itself, but also had white covers. As she looked around, she noticed she wasn't wearing her normal clothing, but a white satin dress with matching gloves and shoes.
To her surprise, the wedding march began to play and suddenly, Syaoran appeared in front of the altar.
"Syaoran?" she called, but he didn't turn. It was as if she wasn't there, but was watching from afar.
The doors at the back opened and suddenly the room was full of people. She noticed Meiling was there too, but she had tears from her eyes, which weren't from happiness. From the back door, a girl with long orange hair and hazel eyes with the most elegant wedding dress you could ever see, came out. She approached the altar and took Syaoran's hand.
"Oh no! But...how? How could that be? I'm the one who should be on that altar!" she cried, knowing that nobody could hear her.
Before she knew it, they had already gone to the part of exchanges vows and saying 'I do'. The gap in their lips slowly disappeared and there came a flash of light.
~~~
Sakura sat straight up on her bed, covered in sweat. Suddenly on impact she burst out into tears. This woke Kero straight up and he quickly scrambled out of his drawer.
"What's wrong?" asked her quite concerned little guardian.
She let out a few more sobs and finally spoke, "Syaoran's married," she cried some more and the tears trickled down her cheeks and down her neck.
"But...I thought.." he trailed off, knowing she would have cut him off anyway.
"I think..I still love Syaoran.." she whispered in a cold breath.
