A/N: Hi all you peoples! I'm back after a while! I know what you will
think… for being gone so long, you'd think that she would write a longer
chapter than what's she's giving us! Seriously! I'm sorry. Writer's
block is the biggest pain in the butt. But you writer out there could
probably sympathize. My emotions usually guide me through my chapters, but
today, the emotion only carried me this far. I'm sorry everyone. Next
chapter I promise will be longer. This chapter could be so much more, but
I needed to write and I needed to write fast. Too much drama in my life!!
(Umifirefly15 and Saturn Ringer and maybe Mirkana Falcon know what I'm
talking about)
Disclaimer: As you all know, I'm not making any money off this story so why on earth would you want to sue me? Here's an even bigger question: who is going to sue me? No, I'm not being a smart aleck… I just want to know. I mean, who are we talking to when we write these things? Oh well, if any of you know the answer, then can you put it in your review.
Dedications: Umifirefly15 this time. Thanks for the support! Though I didn't need your help this time, I might need it next time. I'm so thankful for having such a great friend. You're one of the best buddies in the world!
Anyways, onto the story! Hope you guys all like this ultra short chapter!

Chapter 6: Not the person she thinks
"Syaoran?" Sakura asked.
There was an uncomfortable silence that settled in the air around the group. *I can't believe I said that… That couldn't be him, could it?* Sakura thought to herself. *It's not worth it to get my hopes up again…*
A stunned and speechless (very rare for her) Lu finally spoke and broke the silence. "How did you know his name was Syaoran?" she asked.
"Well… I…" Sakura started. But what was she supposed to say? She wasn't sure herself why she said that.
But, what if it really was him? What was she supposed to tell her? Was she supposed to explain how the guy that she was dating was the same guy who left her four years ago? Was she supposed to tell her that this was the guy who was caused her years of emotional distress and still plagues her thoughts to this very minute?
Confusion was clouding her judgement. But she had to think of something quick.
"It's nothing… It's just that, he looks so much like the person who I told you about… You know, the guy who left me… It's nothing…" Sakura tried, but just couldn't. This was just too much for her. She couldn't now, not here, where she felt so alone. "Could you excuse me?" She started toward the exit.
"Um, I think that she's just needs some fresh air… Sometimes, that's all she needs. I'm sure she'll be fine once she feels better…" she heard Tomoyo explain. Sakura knew that Tomoyo would follow her once she got everyone to stop worrying about her.
Sakura walked outside. She felt the cool spring air against her bare shoulders as she sat down. People would be worrying about her, but she didn't care. All she could think about was him. Was that really him… With Lu?
Her confusion was growing worse by the second as she thought more and more about him. If it was really him, then how could he do such a thing. He promised… He promised that he would always be faithful to her… that he would always be hers… That he wouldn't forget.
She felt a tear slip down her cheek. Maybe she was foolish to believe him…
"Are you okay?" Tomoyo's concerned voice asked her.
"Oh Tomoyo," Sakura started, "I don't know what to think! Is it really him? He looks just like him! Why didn't he remember? Why…" She started to cry again. Her body racked with sobs. She couldn't take it.
"I'm sorry Sakura… I don't think that it was him. He was talking to me and then I asked him… if he knew… he told me that he didn't know you before today…" Tomoyo started.
"How can you be sure?" Sakura asked. "He looked so much like him and when we…" Sakura couldn't bring herself to finish. It was just too hard for her.
"Well, how do you know that it is him? He told me that he has never been to Japan. Never in his entire life. I think this is all a big mix-up. I'm so sorry, Sakura. I really am," Tomoyo told her.
Sakura knew that she was trying… Tomoyo really was… But right now, she needed just a little time to think. She needed some time by herself to think and clear her thoughts.
"I'll be fine. I just need to sort some things out…" Sakura told her while putting on the most convincing smile that she could muster at the moment.
Tomoyo looked at her like she didn't believe her. "Are you sure Sakura?" a look of genuine worry shone through her violet eyes. "I'm really worried about you. I can't seeing you in such emotional stress."
Sakura smiled, this time she really meant to. "I'm sure. I'll be back in a bit," she replied. She listened to Tomoyo's footsteps fade.
She sighed. There is too much drama. Just too much for her to handle. If she didn't have Tomoyo, she wasn't sure what she would do. *She's a great friend…* she thought. *I'm really lucky to have her.*
Sakura sat out there for another ten minutes before she decided that it was safe enough for her to return inside. When she returned, Lu looked very worriedly at her.
"Are you sure you're okay? I mean, we can go home if that's what you want to do…" Lu voice held a concerned tone.
Sakura put on the fake smile again. "I'm sure I'm fine. I don't want to ruin your night."
"If you really need to go back to your hotel, then you can," Lu persisted.
"I'm fine. I'm having fun here tonight."
"Oh all right…" Lu replied to her. She walked away, with her boyfriend's hand in hers.
Sakura sat and watched once more everyone dancing and having a good time reverting back to her old wallflower ways.
She stayed at the dance for another hour or so, before she and Tomoyo headed back to her hotel. The drama exhausted her, and she really needed to rest up. She had school after all in two days. *It is going to be interesting to see what was going to happen when I do* she thought. *We'll just wait and see…*
TO BE CONTINUED
Short chapter, I know. It's a great start though, considering how completely braindead I've been for the past few weeks. But I've been under a lot of stress and I use writing to alleviate the stress. I've also been busy. I know, I know, I've promised to post every two weeks, but I can't seem to find time to write and post. Or the energy. I'm sure I'll be much more efficient with the next chapter, but then again, I think I always say that. I'll really try this time, I really will.
I know that it's not much of cliffhanger (I'll try harder next time folks), but I'm still a little brain dead. But I'm still working. Go check out Not Lost Forever, the story that my friend Kittyangel and I are working on together. Oh yeah, go check out her work! Till next time!
