*Flashback*

"Uh hi…Sakura-chan, how are you?" Sakura stood there, shocked, and her eyes widened. 'Syao-chan?'

"Syaoran-kun?" Sakura fainted from the shock. Syaoran ran forward and caught her just before she hit the ground. He shook her, trying to wake her up. "Sakura! Sakura!"

Chapter 2: My dear Cherry Blossom

By: YumiYa

"Sakura! Please wake up!!" Touya knelt down and felt her pulse.

"Don't worry! She's fine! Carry her over to the couch!" Syaoran picked her up and carried her over. He gently placed her down. 'Sakura! I should never had left you!' Suddenly, Kero flew down, yelling, "What's wrong?! Sakura? Sakura!" He continued to babble on until he felt a green aura, tickling the back of his senses. He looked at the source. A strange young man was tending to the fallen Sakura, creating a slight mix within the two contrasting auras. Kero, immediately, recognized him. He got angry quickly.

"You! The chinese gaki! You're the one who made Sakura like this!" Syaoran tried to reply back, but then, Kero had transformed into his true form. Keroberos gave Syaoran a glare that threatened to move and get toasted. Syaoran stood still.

"You made her wait for 6 years! What kind of person are you?" By this time, Touya had retreated from the room.

"She waited for you, but you never did until now! 6 years later! All those years, she was heartbroken. As each year passed, she became more of an empty shell then a living person. How could you do that to her?" Keroberos kept yelling at Syaoran to make up for all the pain and sorrow he had put them through these past 6 years. With each word, Syaoran felt like 100 knives had just stabbed his heart, ripped it out of him, got it trampled over by stampeding elephants and racehorses, then fried by ten Pikachus. (A.N.: Sorry! Couldn't think of anything else! Hate Pikachu and all that ugly stuff! Well, back to story! Had to put that in!) Twenty minutes passed when Sakura finally stirred. 'Ug…I had a dream that Syaoran came back to me!' Sakura opened her eyes to see Keroberos yelling at a young boy with messy brown hair and sad amber eyes. Sakura let out a gasp as she recognized the boy. 'It can't be!' Both Syaoran and Keroberos looked her way. Keroberos returned to his borrowed form and flew to Sakura. He sat on her shoulder as he checked Sakura. "Hey Sakura…you feeling okay?" Sakura didn't here him. She got up and ran out of the house, leaving the door open. Syaoran ran after her.

Back to Eriol and Tomoyo:

They were just nearing Sakura's house when Sakura ran out, tears running down her face. Tomoyo and Eriol stared after her, shocked. Then, Syaoran came funning after her. They rushed into the house to see Kero on the floor, apparently a little faint from falling off Sakura's shoulder. Eriol looked at Tomoyo and she looked back. They ran after the distraught couple, leaving the house with the door closed.

Meanwhile in Penguin Park:

Sakura kept running. She didn't know why, but she knew she had to get away from there. She ran and ran until she had no breath left. Seeing the beautiful Sakura trees, she sat down on the grass. The breeze was just right. Suddenly, she heard footsteps and an uneven breath. She stood up quickly and grabbed her key. Then, she felt HIS aura coming. 'Syaoran! He came after me!' Soon, Syaoran came into view and he looked sad. Syaoran looked at her and stood still. Sakura breathed in and out, trying to calm her heart.

"Sakura…" It was barely a whisper. A voice in the wind. 'Syaoran!'

"…"

"Sakura…gomen…onegai…forgive me! I…"

"After 6 years, you came back!" Sakura said, coldly. It hurt her to hear her use that tone. "You know, Li-kun, I'm surprised at you! You don't even keep contact with me and here you are expecting to fin everything the way you left it!" Syaoran felt a stab in his heart. 'Li-kun?' "I'm sorry! I couldn't! The elders wouldn't allow it! Every time I'd try, they'd beat me and threaten to kill you!"

"I can't feel the same way as I did before anymore! Because of what you did, Li Syaoran, I…I hate you!" Sakura turned and ran away. 'Syaoran- kun…gomen, demo…I have to show you the pain I felt when you left me! I don't want to do this! Please forgive me!' She disappeared into the darkness as Syaoran watched. He collapsed and started crying. 'Why Sakura- chan? Why? I should have come back earlier! Even if it meant risking my life!' He cried and cried at the loss of his cherry blossom until he could cry no more. He slowly went back home, sulking.

In the bushes, Tomoyo and Eriol watched the whole scene in shock. Eriol as most surprised. 'My descendant was crying? He let his emotions show that far? He really cares! Even more than I expected!' For Tomoyo, it was another story. She was fuming. When they were sure no one was around, she started yelling.

"Why that…that…that…GIRL! Sometimes she can be so…infuriating! Li-kun finally comes back to her and what does she do? Reject him! Sakura! How could you?! Aaaaaaargh!!!" Tomoyo yelled. Eriol sweatdropped. 'I think she's going just a bit too far!' He grabbed her around her waist. She fought against him, screaming.

"Aaah! Let go of me, Eriol! Let me go! I'll give Sakura a piece of my mind! Aargh!"

"There, there Tomoyo-chan! Calm down!" Eriol said, soothing her. Tomoyo stopped flailing and sighed.

"Tomoyo-chan! Have you forgotten how much you were attached to Sakura- chan back then…in 4th grade?"

"No…I haven't forgotten! I just don't want her alone the rest of her life!"

"She won't! She has us!" Eriol loosened his grip. Tomoyo stood, turned around, and wrapped her slender arms about him.

"I know, but I'm spending more time with you!"

"Is that a bad thing?"

"No!"

"Good, because if you thought it was, then I'd gladly go back to Kaho- san!" Eriol teased. Tomoyo stiffened and looked at him in horror.

"Eriol! You wouldn't! Please don't! I love you!" Tomoyo hugged him tightly. Eriol smiled softly and hugged her back.

"I know, I know! Aishiteru, anata!"

"Yokata! (I'm glad!)" They stood there.

"Don't worry about those two either! They'll come back together eventually. Destiny has already chosen their fate! So, don't worry!
