Kero-chan: Finally, a chapter with ME!!! Me: Kero-chan, I hate to burst your bubble, but this is all about the relationships between Sakura and Syaoran mainly, but also between Damien and Kai and Eriol and Tomoyo. Kero-chan: WHAT!!! WHY I SHOULD MMMMPPPHHH!! Me: Kero-chan is umm...temporarily unavailable right now, so on with the fic!!
The Renewed Friendship and the Earth Spirit
After school, Sakura rushed home, got the cards, stuffed them in her bag, and ran to Eriol's house. On her way she accidentally ran into...Syaoran, of course.
"Oh...hello Kinomoto-san"
"Hi Li-san"
*After a few moments of silence...
Sakura sighed. She had to tell him now. Even if he did hate her and threw her friendship back in her face.
"Listen Li-san, I know you probably hate me, and I know we've had a bad past, but I really would like to be friends with you again. We were great friends, and I miss that. If we're going to be fighting together, I at least want to be on normal speaking terms with you. Is that all right?"
Syaoran gasped inwardly. She wanted to be friends? That was more than he'd been hoping for. He knew she'd never be his again, so her friendship was welcomed.
Syaoran thought to himself for a moment, and slowly said, "I could never hate you, Kino-Sakura, but I thought you wanted to forget about me and move on. Honestly speaking, I'd be fine with being friends with you again. I miss that too. But I must say first that your part in the fighting doesn't include capturing crystals. That's something I have to do by myself. So if you could promise not to help me unless it gets drastic, I'd appreciate it".
"Sure Li-san. I'm just happy that you don't hate me. And that you want to be friends too. You can call me Sakura-chan, you know" Her heart was beating rapidly. Even if he never loved her again, she was ecstatic at the thought that he didn't hate her, and that he wanted to be friends again too. The only problem now was what to say to Xian. She couldn't keep seeing him, it was wrong to lead him on like that when the only guy she knew she'd ever love was Syaoran.
"You can call me Syaoran-kun, then".Syaoran wanted to leap for joy. He was happy that they were speaking again.
"Syaoran-kun?"
"Yes?"
"Um, not to be nosy, but if you're the Clan leader, then you should be married, right? I know that you broke your engagement with Meilin, so...is Kai-chan your fiancee? Or your wife?"
Syaoran did something totally unexpected then. He burst out laughing.
*giggle* "Sakura-chan" *snort* "Kai" *giggle* "isn't my fiancee or wife" *laugh* "she's" *laugh* "my best friend and cousin" *laugh* "I could never marry her". He managed to calm down. "I don't love her like that, nor she me. You see, she used to go out with Damien" his tone got serious, "and her broke her heart by going out with Katori. But I know they still love each other by the way they look at each other when they're together (A/N: Just like them, of course). Heck, half the songs on her CD are about him, although she'd never admit it".
Sakura sighed "That's sad. I really like Kai-chan and Damien-kun. No wonder he was shocked when she arrived. And no wonder he never wanted to talk about her. I think Kai-chan is a great person, and truthfully, I like her better than Hiroshi-san. What was Damien-kun thinking?"
"Kai is a great person, and I think Mao is crazy", Syaoran said. They continued their walk in a comfortable silence, unaware of two people who were hidden in the bushes.
"Kawaii!" whispered Tomoyo. "They are sooo kawaii!!!". Eriol sweatdropped and said "Yes indeed, Daidouji-san" I don't really want to spy on them, but it's worth it to spend time with you, Tomoyo. If only I could tell you that I love you....
But even the two in the bushes were unaware of a figure hidden in the shadows, who was following Sakura and Syaoran's every move...
Meanwhile... Kai was in a cheerful mood. Despite having to see Damien again, she knew that Syaoran had made up with Sakura. She could feel their happy auras even though they weren't even within seeing distance. Now, if only they could admit that they still love each other...and if only Sakura would dump that loser Xian. Oh well. They have plenty of time, since we aren't going anywhere for awhile.... She could also feel a happy Tomoyo and a love struck Eriol. Those two will get it together soon... Unfortunately for her, who should walk up to her then but Damien? Her happy mood was instantly replaced by a rare bad mood. Damien saw this and winced inwardly. He didn't know he'd hurt her that badly. Seeing her again was...disturbing, He thought he loved Katori, but he knew deep down he didn't. So what was keeping him with her? He knew he still loved Kai. So why couldn't he tell her?
"...Hello Kai-chan"
"You", she spat out icily, "may call me Li or Kai Ling. I don't really feel like chatting with you, Mao, so can we just keep ignoring each other and get to Eriol-kun's house?"
"Kai Ling, I didn't know you really hated me that much". He wasn't being sarcastic.
That was it for Kai. She spun around and gave Damien a death glare that would've made Syaoran proud, letting out 3 months worth of pain and anger. "What I hate is how you make me feel every time I see you and your girlfriend. Do you even know what it feels like to have your heart broken? I thought I could handle this. But I can't. So don't play yourself out to be the victim here. You betrayed me, not the other way around. And you knew I'd be here eventually. What did you think would happen, we could just start over and be the best of friends? That I'd automatically forgive you?"
Then, more quietly, "I can forgive you, though. I could forgive you for anything, but I can't understand why. Why you suddenly decided that I didn't matter anymore, why you didn't think about how I'd feel when I knew you were with Katori-chan. Why you didn't think about how much I love you". She stopped, realizing what she had said, but it was too late, so she just ran away.
Damien was stunned...She...loves me? Still? After everything I did? Damn! Why can't I tell her? Why can't I dump Katori? What's keeping me with her?...
A shadowy figure, not unlike the one watching Sakura and Syaoran stood on a tree branch, watching Damien. Soon my master's plan will be complete...hopefully the spell holds until then...
All at once, a flash went through Syaoran, Sakura, Eriol, and Kai. Damien was too preoccupied to notice it at first, but soon felt it. They all rushed to the source, Tomoyo running behind Eriol with her camera at her side. They got there at the same time and saw a massive fracture in the earth, and odd looking formations all around.
"It's the Earth crystal!", yelled Kai. Syaoran got in front of the fracture and called upon his sword. "Earth crystal, show yourself!", he yelled. A green fog appeared, and out of it came... CLIFFHANGER!!!! MUAHAHAHAHA!!!!
