Why Did You Come Back?

"What? That cant be Syaoran and Meiling. They're in china." Sakura said as if she didn't believe him. "Why would- they- be- here" she said, catching her breath between words

"You see?" Eriol said, "you should listen to me more often."

"Th- no- I- wa- I don- Syaoran!!!" that was all she could get out. Her words were held back by her tears and her tears were held back be her fear. She stopped walking as did Eriol, Syaoran, and Meiling. Syaoran was about 20 feet away and yet Sakura felt as though he was still in china. 'He's here. He's actually here.' she thought. She looked down and closed her eyes. That just made the tears come faster. She couldn't hold herself back. Her ran for Syaoran as fast as she could. He dropped his suitcase as she threw her arms around him. She was sobbing. She was so happy, she couldn't stop crying. She stood there for what seemed like forever pounding on Syaoran's shoulder and swearing at him for leaving.

They all went back to the house and started to talk. Syaoran had some cookies and Kero was kept at least two feet away form them until there was one left. Kero devoured the last cookie then floated around the kitchen looking for more. Sakura was still wiping her eyes from when she saw Li.

"So why did you guys come back anyway?" Sakura asked

Eriol and Syaoran just looked at each other. "Well, Sakura I came here because I." Syaoran trailed off

"And I came back because, well, I umm." Eriol also trailed off

"Come on you guys" Sakura said forcefully. "Tell me. Why did you come back?"

"I guess I'll tell you." Syaoran said, doubting what he said, "I came back because, well, I sensed something bad and I was worried about you"

Syaoran was shifting uncomfortably. He knew Sakura would ask that question and he tried to prepare but he couldn't. He knew that her next question would be even harder to answer and would make him even more uncomfortable

"What did you sense?" Sakura asked trying hard not to sound scared, even though she was deeply terrified. Kero had been floating around their heads and listening to their conversation until Syaoran said he sensed something. Kero just stopped and floated there.

"I sensed something too." Eriol said "a few days ago, before I left."

"What did you guys sense!?" Sakura asked, more forcefully this time.

"I don't know" Syaoran said "all I know is it had to do with the cards and something evil"

"So that's why you came here," Meiling said. "Why didn't you tell me Syaoran?"

"I didn't tell you because I new you would say 'she can take care of her self'" Syaoran answered

"No I-" Meiling cut herself off

"Exactly" Syaoran said

"Wait," Sakura interrupted "you said you sensed something that had to do with the cards, right?"

"Yeah, why?" Syaoran said but he was too late. Sakura dashed out of the kitchen and up the stairs. Syaoran, Meiling Eriol, and Kero followed her. When they all got up stairs and into Sakura's room Sakura was standing there, staring at the place where she threw the cards down on her bed when Eriol showed up. For what seemed like forever she just stood there, staring until Syaoran said, "Sakura, what's wrong?"

"The cards-"was all Sakura could get out

"What about them?" Syaoran asked.

Sakura was silent. "Sakura?" Syaoran said, "what's wrong?"

"The. cards. their." Sakura was trying to talk but she was in so much shock she couldn't.

"Sakura, finish your sentence" Syaoran told her. But she couldn't.

"Syaoran, thecardsare.g-" she said quickly, but she couldn't finish

"Sakura" Syaoran whispered
