Chapter 27:
Kero's POV:
Aw, man, I miss those days we actually got to sleep in. Oh well. I noticed that Sakura wasn't getting any sleep. She didn't really need it, I guess. I think that once we get to the Ruins, she'll sleep again. We spent all morning riding in silence. I didn't even argue with Spinel. At mid day, Sakura took her bread and sat away from the group. I'm so happy I'm little again! Flying up to Sakura, I sat beside her. I still say she looks funny with that "Tear".
"Sakura? Why aren't you eating with everybody else?"
Looking at me, her emerald eyes were distant.
"I need to talk to my family."
Glancing up, she smiled slightly. Touching my tail, she pointed behind me with her other hand.
"There's Otou-san."
Turning, I jumped.
"ACK! Where'd you come from?"
Smiling, Kinomoto-sama laughed.
"I've been here. You can only see me because Sakura's touching you."
Smiling weakly, Sakura bit into her bread.
"Papa, can you and Mother talk with me tonight? I need advice."
Smiling, Kinomoto-sama wiped away a tear.
"Of course, Dear Heart. We only wish we could do more."
"Of course, otou-san. But just being able to see and talk to you makes me happy. I could hardly ask for more."
Kinomoto-sama came and sat in front of us.
"I hope you'll introduce us to your friends sometime, Sakura."
For the first time today, she gave a genuine laugh.
"I only have so many hands, Daddy."
"Oops, you're Mother's calling. We'll be back tonight. Ja ne Sakura, Kero- chan."
With that, he disappeared. Concerned, Nakuru came over.
"Sakura-chan? Who were you talking to?"
Sighing, she took her hand away from my tail.
"Just Otou-san."
Nakuru looked at her strangely.
"I thought he was dead?"
"He is. It's his ghost. I'll introduce you sometime."
"O-Okay. It's time to go."
Sakura's POV:
All right. This is REALLY starting to hurt. Syaoran is TOTALLY ignoring me. This is why I need to talk to Mother and Father. Watching him, I saw he kept carefully away from me, keeping his distance. Did I do something wrong? Someone mentioned him feeling inferior, but why would he do that? None of this makes ANY sense. So I spent the day riding with Nakuru-chan and Tomoyo-chan.
"Do either of you understand how a mans' mind works? Because I sure don't."
They laughed at that.
"I don't think we women are SUPPOSED to understand them, Sakura-chan. I think it's a law of nature, or something."
"Hmm. Really."
"Oh, don't get mad, Sakura-chan. Tomoyo-chan's right. It's the truth."
"You guys are not helping."
************************************************************************
After putting out the fire that night, I wrapped myself in my blanket and sat beneath a lone wild cherry tree. Almost instantly, my family appeared.
"Konbonwa. Touya, why are you here?"
"It's the Gaki, isn't' it? Did he hurt you?"
"No, Touya, now may I please talk to Otou-san and Okaa-san? I need advice."
Frowning, he glared at Syaoran.
"Fine. Abut if he hurts you, tell me, okay, imoto?"
Impatient, I waved him off.
"All right! You'll be the first I notify. Now go, Oniisan!"
Still frowning, he faded out. Smiling, my parents sat on either side of me. I could almost feel their warmth.
"So, Sakura, what is it?"
"Mother, Father, I'm confused. I love Syaoran, but the last two days, he's been avoiding me. Is it something I did, do you think?"
Chuckling, Father smiled.
"You'll have to remind me about him. Last time I saw him…… Was a long time ago."
Wailing, I started crying.
"That's another thing! He's a Li! Am I wrong to love him? I mean, his family KILLED you!"
Smiling sadly, Mother stroke my hair, but all I felt was the wind.
"Oh, Dear Heart. If you love him, it doesn't really matter. It was only over the Clow. It's al right to love him."
"That's right, Sakura. If you love each other, the past doesn't matter."
Sniffling, I felt a little better.
"Well, he's the Crown Prince of the Li Kingdom, and has three older sisters. He generals the armies, and he's highly skilled in magic and Martial Arts. When I worked for him, his mother always pushed him to hard."
Smiling, my parents looked at each other.
"It's sounds like he might be feeling like he's not worthy of you."
"But WHY? It's not like I'm BETTER than him!"
Mother laughed.
"Oh, Dear Heart. Think about it from his point of view. He used to be stationed above you, so you weren't "equals." Then you became the Card Mistress, and you were suddenly equal. Same status. But now, you're going to be a Queen. It might bruise his ego."
"Queen? Another subject entirely. But what's the big deal? I still love him."
"Well, he might no know that. Your Mother and I had OUR share of problems, I'll tell you. But, if it continues, confront him. Tell him how you feel, and then see what he says. I'm certain he still loves you."
Smiling, Mother cut in.
"Ah, yes! I've seen how he looks at you! Even two years ago, when you were a maid. I believe you two still have a good chance of making it."
Smiling, I let my happy feeling of being with my parents wash over me.
"Thanks for the advice, Momma, Poppa. Ashiteru."
"We love you too, now get some rest."
Brushing her fingers across my face, I only felt the wind.
"I'll be lucky to get two hours."
"At least try, our cherry blossom."
"Good night, Sakura-chan."
