Chapter Seven: Love Is On the Air

By: Enchanted Pink Jade

Just in case you guys are wondering, no, I didn't make a mistake with the title of the chapter. Hehehe. You'll find out later in the chapter why I did that. Just read it and you'll find out!!!

*~*~*~*~*

Saturday. At three in the afternoon.

Tomoyo was sitting on her bed with a book in her lap. She wasn't really reading what was on the pages. She's been on the same page in the book for the past 30 minutes. All she was doing was staring at it, but her mind was else where. She was thinking about Sakura, she was worried about her.

Sakura hadn't shown up at school on Thursday, the day after the intercom incident. She didn't show up on Friday either. Everyone was curious about her whereabouts. Tomoyo knew exactly where Sakura was. She was at home. She just wasn't leaving her home, full of embarrassment and shame. Sakura hasn't even really been contacting anyone either. The things that Tomoyo knew about what Sakura was doing came from Kero. She asked him to tell her anything that he could get out of his mistress, and he obliged. He too, was worried about Sakura. Tomoyo had told him what had happened when Kero came over one night to ask if Tomoyo knew what was wrong with Sakura.

Suddenly a furry little creature flew into her room through her window.

"So, is there anything new with Sakura?" Tomoyo asked as soon as she spotted Kero.

"Nope. Not one thing. She's still in her room. She hasn't told her father and her brother, and they aren't asking what was the matter with her. Her brother did ask the first night, but now either her father or Tory brings her, her dinner every night and they just leave her alone," Kero said as he landed softly on Tomoyo's bed, in front of her.

Tomoyo sighed. "I don't want to crowed around her or anything, all she wants right now is some privacy. And I respect that, but she just has to get up and go out, to places, wherever. She can't stay inside her house, in her room for the rest of her life, you know. She has to do something! What was she doing when you left her room today?" Tomoyo asked.

"Last thing I saw her doing was holding her journal and a pen. I guess she plans to write in it or something. She hasn't really written in it for awhile now."

Tomoyo nodded. "Good.. good. I wonder what Syaoran thinks about this. He hasn't really shown any kind of emotion towards this. And he hadn't really reacted. He just became..... more quiet and more withdrawn."

"What did you say his name was? Sounds to me that he doesn't even care at all. He hasn't even tried to contact her?" Kero asked.

"Didn't I tell you his name? I guess I didn't. His name is Li Syaoran. And if Sakura still is in her room, than I guess he hasn't tried to contact her. Otherwise, she would have at least gone out of the house by now, don't you think?"

"Wait, what did you say his name was? I don't think that I heard right... did you say Li Syaoran?"

"Yes, I did. Why? What's up with his name?"

"Well......"

*~*~*~*~*

Meanwhile, with Sakura. In her room.

Tap. Tap. Tap. Tap. Tap. Tap. Tap.

Sakura was tapping her pen on her desk as she stared at a new entry in her journal, that was still blank except for the date written on the top right hand corner. She wanted to write, but she didn't know where to start. What should I write? How do I start it? What do I say? These questions have been rolling around her mind for the past few minutes now. Finally, she decided to write whatever came to mind.

Dear Diary,

I know that I haven't been writing in here for awhile now, but a lot has been going on in my life. And it's all muddled up in my mind. I'm just so confused right. I don't know what to do. So I decided to write. See, it all started when Tomoyo made an announcement on the air on `CherryBlossoms 101.8 FM.' It was something like whoever was the 9th caller after hearing a certain song, they get to spend a whole day with the Cherry Blossom, which was me, the host of that radio station. I kept myself anonymous. I didn't want anybody knowing who I really was. Of course Tomoyo knew. She's my best friend. I know that she was doing it on my behalf. She did it for me. Well, anyways, since no one really knew who the Cherry Blossom was, I somehow made people think that Tomoyo was Cherry Blossom. And the people really did believe it. The guy who won, who was the 9th caller... His name it Li Syaoran. He's really cute, I gotta admit that. Thinking back on it now, I really wish that I could undo what I did. I wouldn't be in this situation right now. Anyways, Tomoyo dragged me along with her and Syaoran. We went to the mall and just talked there. From the mall, Tomoyo claimed that she had to do something, and ask if Syaoran wouldn't mind spending the rest of the day with me instead. Of course, being the polite person he was, he said that he didn't mind at all. So we went to the park. I knew that Tomoyo wanted me to tell him the truth then, but I didn't. We just talked. Asked each other more questions about the other. And I somehow grew to like him. A LOT. This is where it started to get complicated. The more I liked him, the more harder it was for me to tell the truth. I knew that I had to, and Tomoyo gave me a lot of chances to, but I didn't. Syaoran and I, we became a couple of sorts. I really liked him. I can tell he really liked me to. I just couldn't tell him the truth. I didn't want to hurt him, I didn't want him to feel betrayed. He told me once that he was so thankful that he had met Tomoyo, the `Cherry Blossom.' Because if he hadn't, then he wouldn't have ever met me. About one to two weeks later, Tomoyo pulled me aside and asked if she could talk with me in private in our vice principal's office. We did talk in there. And Tomoyo made me confess all these things. Then the worse part came. Ms. Anda, came in and told us that the intercom has been on the whole time that we were talking. The whole school knew! And Syaoran. They heard everything that was said. I said that I loved him very much, and Tomoyo made it clear that she didn't like the fact that everyone thought she was Cherry Blossom. I know that I was gonna tell everyone anyways, the truth, including Syaoran. But I hadn't wanted it to come out that way... And I wasn't even ready. And now everyone knows... What am I going to do now? How am I ever gonna show myself in school again? How will I ever be able to face him again?....... I haven't gone to school for the past few days. My father and onni-chan both leaves me alone, and Kero makes a lot of trips outside. Probably to Tomoyo's house, to tell her if I'm okay. What am I going to do?

Sakura sighed and put her pen away. Then she put her diary back in it's little secret hiding place that no one knew of. It was under a loose floor board under her bed that she had discovered a couple of years back. It proved to be very useful to her. Even Kero couldn't detect the goodies that Sakura had hidden under there.

A knock from the downstairs front door reached Sakura's ears, but she ignored it, hoping that if she stayed quiet, the person who was knocking would go away.

*knock*knock*knock*

Still this person kept on knocking on the door. Go away! I don't care who you are just go away! Sakura thought. She sighed and climbed down the stairs over to the front door. She reached for the handle, but paused. Should I open the door? I wonder who this is. I won't find out unless I open it.

"Sakura! I know that you're in there. Now open up!"

Sakura opened the door wide. Standing on the front porch was Tomoyo. Kero was hidden away from public eye in Tomoyo's small purse.

"Hi," Sakura said and she stepped aside to make some room so that Tomoyo can come in, then she closed the door softly behind her. She turned around and faced Tomoyo.

"Hello Sakura. Look, I'm just gonna get to the point. There's something that you need to know about Syaoran." Sakura opened her mouth to say something but was silenced by Tomoyo.

"Just listen to what Kero has to say. I think that you'll find this very interesting." Just then, Kero came out of the purse and told the both of them to sit on the living room couches.

"What is it?" Sakura asked when they were all seated down comfortably.

Kero cleared his throat. "Well, this Syaoran. He's not what you think he is."

"What do you mean, `He's not what you think he is?'"

"There's this clan in China, a very powerful clan, with powers and all. They are the descendants of Clow Reed. They think that having the Clow Cards, which are now Sakura Cards, is only their right, and that no one else should be in possessing it, other than them. They are very persistent. They probably still want it now, they just don't know that it's Sakura Cards now."

"And this has to do with Syaoran.... how?" Sakura asked, still not quite following what Kero was trying to say.

"Syaoran Li, is a descendant of Clow Reed, and a part of the Li clan. Since he is somewhere other than China, or in the Li mansion, he was probably sent here for a reason, a mission."

A few seconds ticked by and realization dawned on Sakura. "He's here to take the cards from me isn't he? That whole thing with the radio was just an opportunity for him to meet up with me... Oh my god."

Sakura turned towards Tomoyo. "I'm sorry, Sakura...."

"So am I. I'm sorry that I ever fell in love with someone like him. And now he knows too! He must've been laughing his head off when he was alone thinking to himself that he would have the cards in no time! How could I........? ARGH!!!! I can't believe this!" Sakura sat back and closed her eyes.

"If you two don't mind, I think that I'm gonna take a walk outside, alone," Sakura then said.

"What? Oh, yes. Of course. You should be going out anyways, instead of staying here cooped up all day," Tomoyo said, happy that Sakura was finally going to be up and about.

"If you need me, I'll be at the park." And with that, Sakura left.

*~*~*~*~*

Syaoran's apartment.

Syaoran was sitting on his couch, watching TV.....At least... he was trying to.

~A commercial advertising jewelry shaped in cherry blossoms~

Cherry Blossoms. She was the Cherry Blossom. She IS a cherry blossom. Okay enough about her.

*Changes the channel*

~Infomercials, talking about the best formalwear. There was a woman modeling a light pink dress that swept the ground as she walked. It had no sleeves and the V shaped collar was just low enough to still be decent, but showed a little bit of cleavage.~

Pink. That's her favorite color. Sakura would look better in that dress. She looks better than that model. UGH!!!!

*Changes the channel*

~A movie.~

"Sakura! Matte! Matte!"

*Changes the channel....again*

~A nature-like scene background. The sun was rising.~

Sakura said that she has never seen a sunrise before, because she was always waking up so late... Argh!!!!! Sakura again!!! This is no use. I'll just go outside for a walk or something. Anything to get her off of my mind.

He turned off the TV. and got a green sweatshirt on, then, he went out.

*~*~*~*~*

At the park.

Sakura was at the park, just walking around, lost in her own thoughts.

I can't believe this. He must think I'm a fool. And I guess, I am. For even falling in love with him. It probably wasn't even love. Just Puppy love. He just wants my cards. MY cards. Well, he can't have them. His family will never ever get their hands on it as long as I live! And besides, he isn't really that handsome and cute either. *sigh* Who am I kidding? He's the most gorgeous guy I have ever seen. But why does he have to be a part of the Li clan? I'm going to tell him off the next time I see him.

Just then, she bumped into someone.

"Oh! Gomen-nasai. I wasn't watching where I was going." Sakura looked up, only to find herself staring into two pools of bright amber that she'd recognize anywhere.

Sakura's face turned into a hard cold stone-like mask, and she took three steps back to put distance between them. "You!" She looked at him with something that was akin to loathing.

Syaoran was shocked. He knew that she would probably be angry, but not this much, and not at him. He thought that she would be quiet, anything else but this. Her eyes were full of hate, the opposite of what he had seen just days before. And the tone of her voice........

"Sakura, listen to me-"

"No! You listen to me! How long did you think that you could go on fooling me?"

Sakura asked. Syaoran's temper was close to the surface. What had he done? He hadn't done anything. So why was she like this?

"Fooling you? You were the one who was fooling me and everyone else, remember?"

"It's not about that. It's about what you and your clan wants from me!" Sakura said vehemently.

Syaoran was silent for a few seconds. What does the Li clan have to do with this? What could they possibly want from her?....... Unless.... Oh god. She's the one? Knowledge of knowing who she was spread across his face, but Sakura thought that he was just realizing that she wasn't fooled anymore.

"That's right. The Clow Cards. Only they're not Clow Cards anymore. They're Sakura Cards. Star Cards. I changed them, and they rightfully belong to me." Sakura pivoted on her heels and headed towards the other direction. Syaoran ran after her.

"Wait! Just let me explain."

"What's there to explain?" Sakura said as she stopped abruptly, and faced him sharply. You only used that whole spend a day with Cherry Blossom as an excuse just to get to know me and try to get the Cards from me. It was a great opportunity wasn't it? I guess you're mad that it hadn't gone as planned."

"You don't understand. It wasn't like that. It was never like that! Just listen to me," Syaoran pleaded.

"You know what I think. I think that you should get the award for the best actor in the whole world. You made me feel like such a fool. I'm leaving now, and don't you follow me," Sakura said. And she then left.

Syaoran was still standing there. Like Sakura before, a million questions were flying through his mind. How did she find out about the Li clan. And how did she know about the mission? I need to tell her.

*~*~*~*~*

Next Saturday. Noon.

Sakura was in her living room, doing nothing. Just reflecting on the last few days, and what had happened.

Sakura was going to school again, and she ignored the looks that people gave her in the halls, and the whispers about her.

Syaoran had tried to talk to her all week, but she always found some sort of escape. He didn't get a chance to tell her what he wanted to say, and she didn't give him any chances. On Monday, he had tried to pull her aside, but Tomoyo was there. On Tuesday, she was completely surrounded by her friends. On Wednesday, he tried to talk to her in the hall, but she just went into the girls bathroom, which of course, was a place that he couldn't enter. He left her notes in her locker, but she just threw them away, without even reading them. Probably is still trying to find other ways to get the cards from me. And that he's just saying he's sorry, when he's really not, Sakura thought. ~But you still love him don't you?~ a little voice in her head had said once. And she denied it, of course. You're not supposed to fall in love with the enemy. That was what he was to her these days. The enemy.

The hours passed by, and she had nothing to do. She had no homework, none was given. So she really had nothing to do. Dinner came and went. Still nothing to do and it was already 7 PM.

She finally decided to turn on the Radio onto `CherryBlossoms 101.8 FM.' And it was playing `Platinum' again. Sakura couldn't help it, and one lone tear rolled down her cheek. This was the song that people had to listen to that one day that Tomoyo had made the announcement.

The host was telling the people what songs that were coming up next, when he started to sound like he was being interrupted.

Then another person went on the air.

Hello people of Tomoeda. This is dedicated to one girl. Hopefully, she's listening right now. She knows who she is. You didn't let me explain, so I'll explain now. It's true that I was sent here. But I didn't want to. I really didn't care. When I met, you, it was like love at first sight, I just didn't realize it at first. And I still say that I thank your friend for doing what she did, because we still then wouldn't really have met each other. I thank the heavens that we have. I don't know what you are feeling right now, but I hope that you feel the same way I do. I would have told you this in person, but you wouldn't let me when I tried to. I need to know how you feel, about me. It's like blissful torture wanting to know how you feel about me. When you might feel the same way, as I do. I've never felt this way before. There are thousands of emotions coursing through me, ones that I never thought I would have felt. Everywhere I go, your face haunts me. In my waking hours, and in my dreams. I think about you all the time, and I just can't concentrate on anything else. It's driving me crazy with the need to know. I've enjoyed the time that we've spent together. And I want to spend more time with you, in fact, I want to spend my whole life with you. Without you, I don't think that my life would ever feel right. You're everything my heart desires. And I love you. Meet me at our special place now, if you feel the same way. And if you don't come, then it's okay. I'll find some other way to get to you. I'll be waiting for you there.

Then the voice stopped talking. And the radio's host started talking again, apologizing for the interruption, and saying that they will get the music back on.

Sakura didn't know what to do. Her head was spinning. He just as well confessed his love for her to everyone who was listening to the radio station. She didn't know whether or not she should go. To their special place, as he had said. Sakura didn't have to question who was just speaking on the air. She knew very well who it was.

Then she made up her mind.

*~*~*~*~*

Eriol's apartment.

Eriol was sitting on his favorite navy blue chair in his apartment's living room, lost in his thoughts. He liked it because it was very comfortable. He was resting his chin on his hand, which in turn, was on the chairs arm rest. He was smiling. He was just listening to the radio, on CherryBlossoms101.8 FM. So the guy has got more nerves after all, more than I gave him credit for, he said thoughtfully. I never would have thought that he would have gone that far to get her attention.... Heck, he's done better than I have been doing with Tomoyo, he's even gone farther. Well, at least now, I don't have to worry about them two any more, and I can focus on Tomoyo... He smiled fondly at memories that his mind conjured of her.

He had turned on the radio just in time, when Syaoran started the announcement. Even if Syaoran hadn't identified himself, Eriol had recognized his voice. And he knew that Sakura had probably heard it, listening to the radio station that she hosted, and if she hadn't, Tomoyo tell her right away.

Hm.... their special place... Could it be in the park? Hahaha. It wouldn't hurt if I took a little peek.... or did a little observation, it wouldn't be spying. This is just going to be a night stroll into the park. Hehehe. Eriol got up from his favorite chair and walked towards the door feeling like a sly cat who just caught the forbidden mouse. He decided just to walk there. The park wasn't at all that far from his apartment. I'd probably get there before Syaoran and Sakura. Syaoran was at the radio station, and Sakura at home. Eriol grinned evilly as he made his way towards the park.

*~*~*~*~*

Tomoyo's mansion

Tomoyo was in a hurry grabbing the necessary things that she needed for video taping. She just had heard the announcement that was made on the air, and she had no doubt as to who is was in her mind.

Syaoran of course.

She had already called Sakura, but no one was home. Tomoyo knew that Sakura was at home the time when Syaoran made the announcement, but now she wasn't, so Tomoyo had come to the conclusion that Sakura had gone to their special place, which was the park. That was where they spent their first time alone. And they always took walks there, hand in hand.

Tomoyo squealed with excitement. I'm going to get great footage! I'll call this one *Love At Last*. Oh! I can just see it now! Finally those two are settling this! Sakura has been so sad, and it wasn't because of Syaoran's being a decendant of Clow Reed. It was because she loved him!!! That girl can be so stubborn sometimes... Now I don't have to worry about Sakura being so alone these days... Tomoyo thought as she got into her car and sped towards the park, madly trying to get there before either Syaoran or Sakura does.

*~*~*~*~*

Author's Note: Well? What do you think now? Hehehe. Sorry for leaving you hanging' there. I just had to. I'm so sorry!!!! You'll find out what will happen next in the next chapter!!! Did you like this chapter? I finally added Eriol. I know that I should have included him in more of the scenes.... but *sigh* I don't know. But I do know that Eriol will get more than he'd bargained for at the park in the next chapter. Hehehe.
