Chapter 9: Follow Your Heart
------------------
What was Tomoyo trying to tell her on the phone? That was all Sakura could think about. What about Syaoran? Was he okay? No, no...she couldn't think like that. He didn't love her anymore and that was just that. But still, no matter how much pain he caused her, she couldn't help but feel worried about him. She stared out the window from her room. It was very much similar to her own with the built in mini-balcony on the inside. Sakura just gazed out, watching the lights flicker on throughout the city. It was a bit melodramatic yes, but how ironic it was that she used to do this and Syaoran would sometimes be downstairs. It would just be the two of them talking by her window.
She sighed and thought of how she missed him. But then realization hit her again and she became conscious to the fact she couldn't have him anymore. Sakura hung her head low and just continued being absorbed in her thoughts.
~*~
The next day she and Motoki went out to the park to view the sights. As beautiful as it was, Sakura couldn't keep focus. She would always be thinking about Syaoran. Sakura and Motoki sat on one of the benches near the lake, just watching the scenery.
"Sakura..is there something wrong?" asked Motoki. He was worried for her as any caring boyfriend would be.
Sakura popped back into reality, "Huh? Aa- I'm fine," she said resting her forehead on her hand.
Motoki put an arm around her, "Are you sure? You seem...preoccupied," he said.
She nodded, "I'm sure," she said as she lifted her head off her hand.
"Well come on, let's go out and get some lunch okay?" he suggested, "And then I'll show you some really great places,"
She smiled, "Sure,"
~*~
After having lunch at one of the most well known restaurants in Tokyo, Motoki took Sakura to the Tokyo tower. Since it had been her first time ever going there, he might as well.
Sakura headed her way out of the elevator and her breath was taken away by the sight. It was overwhelming to just be able to see Tokyo from so far up. Her eyes were totally glued to the window.
"Hanyaan! Arigato for taking me up here..." but her words were cut off as she turned around. She was stunned to see who was in front her. It wasn't Motoki.
His unruly dark brown hair covered most of his forehead but didn't quite cover his shiny honey colored eyes. His regular green shirt and khaki pants he had on made him look like he was so predicable. He had an unusual smile she hadn't seen in years.
It was like she couldn't breathe. She just stood there gazing at him. She just couldn't believe...that after so long...he would really come back. They both stood in front of each other, unmoving but staring at each other.
Finally, Sakura made a gesture. She stepped foreward and slapped him in the face.
"Teme," she muttered as she took a step back. Her eyes were watery and the tears were threatening to come out, "I don't believe you," her words came out as cold as ice.
He put his hand over his cheek. He didn't utter any words because he knew he deserved it.
"If you've come back for me Syaoran Li-" but he cut her off.
"I don't want you to hate me anymore Sakura," he said with his calm voice, "And I want you to know that I didn't mean what I said... I still love you,"
She glared at him, "How could I ever forgive you?" she asked him, "You don't even remember how much you hurt me..."
"You don't understand Sakura...I do remember. And I'm sorry. It was wrong of me to put you through that pain...you didn't deserve it," he said.
The tears flowed freely from her eyes down to her cheeks, "It can't be like old times Syaoran. I can't just jump into your arms and forget everything that happened," she wiped away her tears gently, "Things change...I've changed,"
Syaoran wiped a tear from her eye but she slowly removed his hand away from her, "No...I..I can't love you anymore..I'm sorry Syaoran..." she whispered as she walked away from him, leaving him to his lonesome.
~*~
Sakura was in her room crying her heart out. She was so lost, so confused it was just too much for her to handle. What was she going to do about Syaoran? Or Motoki? What was she going to do about anything anymore? Just before she could think or cry some more, there came a knock.
She wiped her tears away and sat in her bed, "Come in," she said. Unazuki walked in. She was partly concerned about Sakura when she walked in after her date with Motoki. Then she was only partly in tears and Motoki didn't know why she was. He already tried talking to her, but she avoided it. So Unazuki figured she could talk to Sakura better.
"Oh...hello Unazuki.." she said getting up to get a tissue.
Unazuki closed the door behind her, "Sakura...what's the matter?" she asked, "I'm worried about you,"
She shook her head, "Don't worry Unazuki-chan..it's nothing that I can't handle," she said.
"Trust me Sakura...I know it's not nothing. You've been sobbing for an hour. It has to be something," she said, "Come on, you can tell me anything! I'm almost practically like a little sister,"
She smiled, "I suppose so..." she wiped her face and shot the tissue in the trash. The two talked about Syaoran and her unfortunate break up with him. How she met with Motoki and how now Syaoran is back and who knows why he's here.
"Wow, that's quite a story, I don't think I'd be able to handle it...poor thing," she gave her a hug, "Well I'll give you a word of advice to just help you out...follow your heart. It's the best thing to do in a situation like this. Your heart knows the answers of who you really love. May it be my brother or Syaoran, only the heart knows," with those words she smiled and walked out.
'Follow my heart?'
~*~
Sakura couldn't take it anymore. She walked out of her room, took her light black trench coat with her and took a long walk. It was peaceful, no body saying anything to her, no questions, no more confusion. The streets were oddly enough pretty empty. Sakura watched as a few couples walked by. Needless to say, it didn't help her much. She continued down the street, walking with her hands in her pockets. Her chestnut brown hair floated with the gentle breeze that passed by. She lowered her head as she thought. 'Follow my heart...I did once.. all it got me was pain,' she rolled her emerald eyes. Suddenly she felt a hand on her shoulder and turned around.
"Motoki.." she whispered, "I have been meaning to talk to you.."
He widened his eyes signaling a yes.
Sakura lowered her head once more, "I'm sorry for putting you through this," she apologize.
He looked confused, "What do you mean?"
"For bringing me out here to Tokyo. It was sweet of you," she smiled, "But it was in vain,"
"Hm?"
"I thought that I wanted to go here to find new hopes, dreams and a future. But Tomoyo was right. I was just running from my problems. And my problems followed me here," she said, "So I've finally decided...what I'm going to do.."
~*~
Sakura hugged Motoki once more and crossed the deserted street. She just wished and hoped that this was for once, the right choice she's made in her life. To her surprise, the street wasn't so isolated. She came across a familiar figure.
She ran closer to him, the sounds of her shoes echoed the empty street. Hopefully she wasn't too late.
"Syaoran!" she called.
He turned to face her as soon as she stopped. They stood facing each other again. She couldn't quite take the words out of her mouth as something came over her. Instead, she moved towards him and fell into his arms.
She looked up at him once more with her face bright red from the coldness. She pulled away from him and held his hands.
"I forgive you..." she said smiling, "And I'm sorry for not giving you the chance.."
He smiled and hugged her, "I'm sorry for leaving you in the first place," he apoligzed as he released her and looked into her emerald eyes, "...Aishiteru my cherry blossom..always,"
"Aishiteru Syaoran..." she said as they shared a kiss underneath the stars.
Finally the two lovers were at peace, he finally found his way back in her heart.
