Chapter Six: Revelations

By: Enchanted Pink Jade

*~*~*~*~*

Next day, at the Daidouji's residence, in the morning.

Sakura and Syaoran were leaving the Daidouji's residence and were on their way to school. Sakura has had to go to Tomoyo's house every morning ever since she and Syaoran got together. Also because Syaoran still thought that Tomoyo lived in Sakura's home. So Sakura had to wake up extremely early. That's one of the good things that has come out of all this. Sakura thought wryly. The other and much more better part is Syaoran.

Sakura must have had a sad face on because just then Syaoran asked, "What's wrong, Sakura?"

Sakura was pulled out of her thoughts. "Huh? Oh, nothing's wrong," Sakura said, smiling up at him.

"Are you sure?" He was worried about her. Sometimes, he would look at her and he would see such a sad expression on her face. He has asked her before if anything was wrong, and yet she didn't say anything.

Syaoran stopped walking and turned Sakura around so that she faced him. He put his hand on her cheek. "You can tell me anything, Sakura. I know that something is bothering you. I can read you like an open book. Can you please tell me? This thing..... it's driving me crazy. And I want you to be happy," Syaoran said, with all his heart. Just four weeks ago, if someone had said that he would fall in love with a girl in the next three weeks, he would have left the guy with a permanent limp. How could HE fall in love with a girl? It seemed totally impossible to him, at that time. Everything he was doing now was going against everything he was sent there for and everything he was trained for. He was sent there to collect the cards from someone unknown to him. He was trained that showing emotions were weaknesses that he shouldn't have, and yet, here he was, in front of the girl that had taught him how to love. The girl he loves. His everything.

Sakura looked into his eyes, and she found the love that he had for her there. It overwhelmed her. She never thought it possible that someone as perfect like Syaoran would fall for her. She never even thought it possible that someone would even think that she was pretty. If only she paid any attention to the guys at school she would have known a long time ago that she was very wrong. Most of the male population in the school was after her. And she didn't even know or noticed it. She always had wondered what it would be like to love someone as she did Syaoran. But wondering about something and living something are two very different things. She knew that now.

Those amber eyes. I'll never get tired of looking at them, Sakura thought. His face was so close to hers that she could feel his warm breath on her face. Slowly their faces inched closer and closer.

Then his lips descended on hers.

He kissed her into sweet oblivion. His lips were soft, and warm. His tongue moved to part her lips and they opened like the fragile petals of a flower that was blooming in the spring. It was as if he was reassuring her. He was so gentle with her. His hands splayed onto her back, bringing her closer to him. Sakura marveled over the evocative powers of his kiss.

To Syaoran, Sakura tasted like the sweetest honey in the world. He could smell her personal perfume of the flower that she was named after. Sakura's hands went up and into Syaoran's hair and ran her hands through them.

Syaoran broke the kiss. Sakura looked up at him again. She saw in his eyes his love and the worry that he had for her. She was deeply touched at how much love his eyes held. "Are you sure that you're alright, Sakura?" he asked again.

"Yes. I'm sure. There's nothing wrong with me, so you can stop worrying. We should get to school now before we get late for school." Sakura smiled up at him. Syaoran looked down into her face for anything that might give away what she was really thinking. He found nothing, but she couldn't fool him, he knew that something was still wrong. He decided not to pry into it any further, and instead decided to let her tell him when she was ready to tell him, whatever it was.

Syaoran nodded. "Okay, let's go." Syaoran then put his arm around her waist, as if he was afraid that he'd lose her if they lost contact for just one second. Then they walked off to school.

*~*~*~*~*

Inside the school halls.

"Sakura!! Hey Sakura! Over here!" It was her friend, Tomoyo. Sakura walked towards her.

"Hey, what's up?" Sakura smiled and said as soon as she was close enough. But as she came closer, her smile disappeared. "What's wrong, Tomoyo?" Sakura said, worry for her friend visible and clear on her face.

"May I talk with you? Privately?" Tomoyo asked, her lips turned down, making a frown.

"Um... yeah, sure. But it's almost time for class," Sakura said, as she followed Tomoyo.

"Never mind that. It's okay. We're going to the office. We'll just get a pass or something from Ms. Anda," Tomoyo said as the bell rang. They entered the office. Ms. Anda was the vice principal of their school. Ms. Anda was right behind the desk.

"Good morning Ms. Anda. May we use your office? We're just gonna......... talk about something in private," Tomoyo said to the woman. She was still only in her early thirties, but she looked older because of the white hairs on her head that could already be visible to the eye. She wasn't much taller than Tomoyo, but she was really nice, and had a very outgoing personality.

"Why sure, Daidouji. Go right ahead." Ms. Anda said, then she went back to whatever she was doing. Sakura went in first, followed by Tomoyo. Tomoyo threw her small bag on the desk, not caring what it may have landed on. And she whirled on Sakura.

Tomoyo narrowed her amethyst eyes into little slits. Her patience was all gone. "Alright, Sakura, this charade has gone on long enough. I waited, and I also gave you many opportunities to do so! Sakura, you have to tell him the truth! Tell everyone the truth!!"

Sakura looked at Tomoyo's face. "I can't!" Tomoyo, I wish that I could. So much, if only I didn't lack the courage... So ironic. I could face a bunch of magical spirits that I set loose, put them back into their original forms, and yet I can't tell this one guy and everyone else the truth... Sakura thought.

"That was a pretty convincing act that you pulled off when we met him, in public," Tomoyo said, thinking about the day that Sakura was supposed to spend the whole day with Syaoran.

".............."

"Why did you do that anyways? You could have saved me and yourself the trouble."

"None of this would have happened if you hadn't made that announcement on the air! And we wouldn't be having this argument either!" Sakura said, though her voice wasn't raised. She didn't want to argue with her best friend, but she thought that she deserved whatever Tomoyo would say.

"That is where you are wrong. We wouldn't be having this argument if you didn't pull that stunt. And no one would be thinking that I, ME, Tomoyo Daidouji, was the Cherry Blossom. But honestly! People are so stupid and idiotic these days! Sakura and Cherry Blossom is one and the same word! They have the same meanings! And yet no one figured it out! That YOU were the REAL Cherry Blossoms! At least Syaoran had made that comment about the voices sounding different. There's actually some form of intelligence here, " Tomoyo said.

".............."

"You. Have. To. Tell. Him. And. Everyone. Else. THE TRUTH. I can't go on anymore, living a lie, and I know that you can't either. People are coming up to me asking me all these questions about what it's like to be a host on a radio station when I don't know the answers. You do! You! You are the Cherry Blossom!!!"

"............."

Tomoyo decided to talk some more since her friend had suddenly become like a mute, only in a more calmer manner.

"A little girl came up to me once asking for my autograph. I saw her mother a small distance away, smiling, and waving. The girl looked so happy. She said that she wanted to be a radio station hostess just like you. She thought that you were great and everything, and that she looked up to you. I was about to put your name on the paper that she gave me, but I put 'Cherry Blossoms' instead, because it is the truth. Why can't you do the same?"

"I....But..... I just can't! Can't you see that?" Sakura said, as she plopped herself onto the loveseat sofa, near the desk.

"And why not?! Because you think that he's really hot? Because he's really kind and nice, gentle and everything else you ever looked for in a guy? You said so yourself, and I know that he's perfect for you. What is it then? Hmmm? Well?"

"Tomoyo, look. You are my best friend. Ever since we were little. You always looked after me, and I want to thank you for that. I thank you so very, very, very much. But this....... I don't know."

"It's just telling the truth for goodness sakes! This isn't just any of your everyday problems, you know. It's matters of the heart. You and I both know he deserves to know the truth. Him and everyone else. It may seem like a small problem. But it's not. You can't just dismiss it. It's worse this way. And it will get even more worse. There will come a time when all this will be thrown back into your face, and you'll suffer the consequences. It will be much more difficult and much harder on you by then. This is your identity, Sakura. When you lose your identity..... I don't know what will happen, but I don't want to know what would happen. I just know that it's nothing good."

Sakura said nothing, she just buried her head in her hands.

"You've only known him for about a month. Or something like that. And you two have become very close. Don't you think that trusting each other is important in a relationship with someone? Wouldn't it be wrong to have someone trust you with their lives, and yet you deceive them? You love him, don't you? Even if you've only known him for a short while. Where love is concerned, time doesn't matter. There are people who've known each other for a week, and they fall in love. For some people, it may take years. Don't deny it either, Sakura. It's no use. Like you said. I am your best friend. I know you better than anyone else here," Tomoyo said. Sakura looked up at her.

".... Yes. Yes, I do." Sakura whispered, but Tomoyo still heard it.

"Then tell him! You've just got to tell Syaoran!"

"I...... I can't!"

"You CAN'T or you WON'T?

".............."

They were interrupted by a knock on the door. It was Ms. Anda. Tomoyo lost her hostile look and smiled sweetly. "Do you need anything from your office, Ms. Anda?"

She shook her head. She kinda looked............ apprehensive. "No, Daidouji, I don't need anything...... It's just that........"

"Yes?" Sakura asked.

"Well......the intercom was on the whole time."

Sakura sat there, a stupefied expression on her face, then horror and terror ran through her as she stood up and she and Tomoyo whipped their heads around to look at the desk. The intercom was indeed on. There was a small, red flashing light and it was blinking. And on top of the intercom's "On" button was Tomoyo's purse. The one that she had carelessly threw onto the desk earlier. Realization hit both girls at lightning speed. Everyone in the entire student body who was present that day in school had heard their whole 'private' conversation. Everyone. Everyone including Syaoran.

Oh my god!!! Oh my god!!! Oh my god!! Oh my god!!! Oh my god!!! Oh my god!!! Sakura thought. She stood rooted to the spot. At least now everyone knows.... Syaoran will hate me. He'll hate me.

Sakura dashed out of the office and headed towards the huge double front doors. She didn't turn back as Tomoyo called after her. Her tears blinded her, but she knew the school as well as she knew the lines in the palms of her hands. She didn't know where she was going, where her feet and legs were taking her, she knew that she just had to keep on running and running.

Finally she stopped running and studied her surroundings. She was right in front of Twin Bells. So she decided to go in. Mackee (AN: That is her name, right? The one who owns the store with many stuffed animals?) was inside, unpacking some notebooks. She turned around and saw Sakura. Immediately, she knew that something was wrong.

"Is there something wrong, Sakura? Would you like some tea?"

"Um, yeah. Thanks. I could do with some tea right now."

Sakura didn't exactly tell Mackee what was wrong, but she was feeling a little better than she had been feeling when she first came inside. Sakura wandered around town most of the day. Just thinking about things. I wonder what would have happened if I hadn't done what I did. Sakura thought as she examined a bouquet of flowers. How am I ever gonna face him? And everyone else now? I might as well move to another district and never show my face here ever again....... What am I going to do now? The truth is out...... So much regrets, though....He'll never even want to look at me or speak with me, ever. He probably doesn't want to be within five feet's range with me.... Why did the intercom have to be on? Tomoyo's purse must have switched it on when she threw it on the desk... But I'm not gonna blame her. If there's anyone to blame, it's me. No one else. What am I going to do? Sakura sighed heavily, and walked on.

For lunch, Sakura went into a small restaurant, and ate.

*~*~*~*~*

At school. Lunch time.

People around were buzzing with gossip at what they had heard earlier that morning. When the bell signaling that it was the lunch hour came, people came up to Tomoyo and bombarded her with about a million questions, but she didn't answer a single one. She ate with her friends, but they left her alone, for which she was thankful for, and they all ate in silence. Even though it wasn't really clear, Tomoyo was worried about her friend who had run off. I should have gone after her. But she needs some time alone, to think things out. She's fine right now. She can take care of herself. Tomoyo said to herself over and over again.

*~*~*~*~*

Same time and place, but in a different area.

Syaoran was perched high on a tree's branch, alone. The leaves all around him prevented people seeing him from any angle. He ate his lunch mechanically, although his mind was racing with his thoughts. She said she loves me. She's the Cherry Blossom. This all would explain Tomoyo's weird behavior, and the peculiar words that she chose when she talked to me. "Can we go to the Cherry Blossoms house?" Tomoyo had said. She always said Cherry Blossom. So Sakura lives in that yellow house. But what about that mansion? Tomoyo's? She said she loves me. I wish that she hadn't run away, to hear what I had to say to that. I love her too. Why couldn't she just tell me the truth? Syaoran sighed. he knew that he wouldn't be able to concentrate on his school work.

He gathered his things and jumped down from the very high perch he was on. Years of training had taught him that. As he made his way to his next class, people took side glances at him, no doubt wondering what he thought, but his face registered no emotion at all. Years of training, he thought. He planned to do something about this, of course, he couldn't just leave this alone. But what am I going to do? And what about Sakura? Where is she now? he thought as he sat down in his desk.

The bell rang and the teacher started the lesson, even though she knew that she wouldn't have all of their attentions. It was still worth try, wasn't it? She looked around the room, and frowned. Nope. People were talking amongst themselves. It's as if these children will die if they don't get to tell the other what sort of gossip they know, she thought. Then her eyes fell on one particular student who didn't seem to be listening or gossiping. Syaoran. It was as if he was in his own world. I wonder what he thinks about all this.

People didn't bother Syaoran all throughout the day, and Tomoyo was left alone.

Sakura still didn't show up. And no one knew where she was.

*~*~*~*~*

Author's Note: Well? What do you think so far now? How do you like how the truth got out? How did you expect the truth to come out? Did you guys see that coming a mile away? Or were you surprised? Hehehe. I'm asking too much questions.... Well, I just have to know what you all think about this now.

Hm....... where is Sakura? What does Syaoran and everybody else think about all this? What will happen next? What will become of Syaoran's and Sakura's relationship. Hehehe. I know the answers to that. And you'll find out next chapter! So look out for it when it comes!

R+R!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
