Chapter 3: Why won't you believe me?
"That someone was..." Sakura stopped. She saw Syaoran, with pleading eyes.
"Who?" He asked, anxiously. Sakura stood up.
"It uh, was no one, no one at all. They couldn't find anyone and I felt as thought no one wanted me." She smiled at the king. "But at least I have you know. Syaoran laughed.
"Let's go to the kitchen, please? I'm hungry." she lied.
'I hate to have lied to Syao-kun... But he can't know. And he won't. About him.' Sakura thought as she slid open the door to the kitchen. Syaoran, sensing that she was not telling the truth afterall, called her back.
"Please tell me, Saki-chan. Please?" Sakura turned around.
"It was boy named Hei Feng." Syaoran knew it. He just knew it. With a name like that, and the way Sakura acted about him a couple days ago, that there was something about him. Hei Feng. Black Wind. But he was wrong.(A/N: Black Wind is Hei Feng in english)
"Hei Feng... he was very handsome, though a bit rough. He's the leader of a small motorcycle gang. I was so lonely and needed attention, so I feel guilty seeing him just to make me feel better. But he was kind. And... the day he saved me from the middle of the road, I knew that he loved me, and that...that... I must have loved him too. He's two years older than me (A/N: which makes him 19), but age definitely doesn't make a difference, and it's only two years. We had fun and one day... One beautiful day... he asked me to marry him." Syaoran blinked.
'Marriage?!' Syaoran felt suddenly uneasy.
"Said that I was the most wonderful thing that could have ever happened to him. I told him that I didn't know... I suddenly thought of you, because it was like the way you told me you loved me."
Syaoran was relieved at that last sentence. He couldn't believe it. But Sakura loved him in the end, if she was here, right?
"...and I didn't want our relationship to end the way ours did, our dear kouyuu. (A/N: friendship)" Syaoran felt a sharp pang of hurt. Their relationship had ended?!
"But that same day... he was called away, so fast that I didn't get his number. For weeks I tried to get him, but I didn't succeed. Almost a month passed when I got taken away, to you, and never got to reply him, and-"
"And what? You decided to go after me again? Huh?" Syaoran asked, trying to hide his anger and jealousy.
"No! Before I got taken away, I received a note from him. I lost it, but I still know the address."
"Then why didn't you write to him? Or did you? I'm surprised that you're still here, that your knight in shining armor still hasn't come for you yet!" Syaoran said harshly.
"But! You are my knight in shining armor! What are you talking about? Why are you acting so odd?"
"Because, I've figured out that you don't really love me! You love this Hei Feng. You just want to get back to him! That's what I'm talking about."
"Syaoran, that's not true!"
"Then why are you here? Oh, I forgot, if it wasn't for those pushy men, you'd be married to Hei Feng right now!" Syaoran yelled. Why was he so mad? It was, actually very natural for this to happen, it was seven years, after all.
"I know it, Sakura! I can tell now, by your eyes, by your face, you don't love me, you love this Hei Feng of yours back in Japan!" Sakura's face filled with anger. Why didn't Syaoran believe her? Why was he so mad... was this jealousy? Well, she tried telling him, but if he didn't listen, then... Sakura drew the Sakura Cards out.
"Fly Card! Release and dispell!" she yelled. "Good-bye, Syaoran Li! If you don't believe me, then maybe I really will go back to Hei Feng! I know that he loves me and that he's waiting for me! I'd better not keep him waiting." and she was off. Through the house and out the door and into the skies with the birds. Syaoran ran, trying to catch her.
"Wait Saki-chan! Sakura! Wait!" he shouted. But she didn't come back. Further and further until he couldn't tell her angelic wings apart from the birds. Until he couldn't see her anymore. Syaoran sobbed and sat on the steps to the door.
'I don't belive what I've just done...! I finally have her, Saki-chan, back, only to drive her away! I'm so hopeless...' He stared up at the sky.
"Where does this Hei Feng live? Should I follow her?" he wondered out loud. He went back inside, trying to untangle the conversation to sense in his head. Hours later, the phone rang.
"Master Li, it's for you." Wei told Syaoran.
"Wei, tell them I'm not in the mood right now, besides, it's my vacation."
"But Master, it's a girl claiming to be from Japan." Syaoran sprang up and took the phone.
"Sakura?" He asked quickly. But the voice that answered, it wasn't Sakura's voice...
"SYAORAN LI! HOW DARE YOU HURT HER LIKE THAT?!" a voice screamed in the speaker. Syaoran held the phone back.
"How is this?!" He asked.
"Who else? This is Daidouji Tomoyo!" Tomoyo said, more calmly. Syaoran was relived. Maybe Tomoyo could talk Sakura into coming back to him.
"Tomoyo-"
"DAIDOUJI-SAN! DON'T EVER CALL ME TOMOYO AGAIN, YOU CREEP!" she said, yelling once again.
"T-Daidouji-san? But I've always called you Tomoyo, what's the difference?"
"The difference is that you've hurt my best friend! You've hurt her bad, Li, I'm just telling this to you now!"
"Tell me, because I don't know. Exactly what did I do?" Syaoran could hear odd clanging sounds, like as though Tomoyo was banging the phone on something.
"You don't even know what you did? You are so insensitive, Syaoran Li! You've changed a lot! Why didn't you believe her? She's telling the truth, because she loved you! Just because Hei Feng loved her too, doesn't mean that she necessarily doesn't love you! All you had to do was believe her! Have faith!" Tomoyo had broken down crying, Syaoran could tell. But... the way Sakura looked when she was talking about Hei Feng... It was so real...
"Tell me Daidouji-san, where is Sakura? Is she there with you?" On the other side, Tomyo stiffened and straightened herself up.
"She has requested that if you call her, call her Kinomoto-san, and not to follow her." clunk. Tomoyo hung up the phone. She ran to Sakura, who was sitting on a chair, crying, and hugged her. Through chocked tears, Sakura managed to say,
"Why? Why Tomoyo-chan, didn't he believe me? I loved him... But maybe now I love Hei Feng, I don't know, this is all too confusing!" Tomoyo simply held her, savouring every second. If it wasn't Syaoran, it would be Hei Feng to claim Sakura in the end. Eriol, standing in the corner of the room, came over and gave Sakura a bright pink rose.
"Sakura-chan, if he doesn't realize how special you are, then he doesn't truly love you. Hei Feng is still waiting for you as well." he said gently to her face. He kissed Tomoyo. "T-chan, if you can't make it 8:00, I understand. I'll leave you two for a while. Ja." Eriol went out of the room. Tomyo smiled at him until he left. Then she turned back to Sakura.
"Eriol is a great guy, and I know I love him and that he loves me... I know that if Syaoran isn't like that anymore, Hei Feng sure is. He's a good person. You'll find love someday, Sakura. True love." Sakura nodded.
"Arigato, Tomoyo. I feel better. How is Hei Feng, I haven't seen him since... he asked me to marry him." Tomyo smiled, her Sakura-chan felt better because of her.
"He's great, although, he misses you. He really wants you back." Sakura sniffed and sat up.
"Do you still have his phone number? I want to see him again tomorrow."
"Yea, it's right here. But call him tomorrow, in the morning, it's getting late. I'll show you to your room."
