' 'Thoughts
Chapter 10 – Our First Meeting "Oh my gosh, Sakura," Tomoyo said as she looked at her disbelievingly. "I know, Tomoyo. The only thing though is that I don't know when it will happen, but I think it will happen after we leave," Sakura said as she looked at Tomoyo."So, do you want to stay here until…"
"Yes, if that's alright with you, Tomoyo," Sakura said, hoping that she wouldn't mind.
"That's alright Sakura, I don't mind," Tomoyo said as she gave her a hug.
'I hope that my dream is wrong, but I've just got a feeling about this,' Sakura said as she hugged Tomoyo back, worrying about the future.
"…What do you think they will do?" Eriol asked, starring up at the sky.
"I don't really know and I don't really want to think about it," Syaoran said, also looking up at the sky.
"Are you going to tell her?" Eriol asked, turning his face to look at him.
"You know I have too. I just don't know what I'm going to tell her," Syaoran said, closing his eyes.
'Will she even understand what is going to happen?' Syaoran thought, thinking about her laugh and smile.
Syaoran never thought that some girl could just come along and break through all the barriers that he had around himself for so many years. He knew that there was something about her when he first saw her, but he didn't think that it would lead to this. When he had kissed her that day, he knew that his was going to pay a price for wanting to be with her. To think that all she did was be around him and his barriers would break.
"…Syaoran?" Eriol asked, seeing as how he was deep in thought about something.
"Hmm…"
"I'll do whatever I can to help you pass your judgment," Eriol said, closing his eyes too and drifting off to sleep.
"…Thank you, cousin," Syaoran said as he too, drifted off to sleep.
"Tomoyo, is it alright if I talk to Sakura?" Meilin asked, walking into the room.
"Sure," Tomoyo said, giving Sakura and reassuring smile and left.
"Hi, Meilin," Sakura said, wiping the tears away.
"Look, I know that we haven't been on the best of terms lately and I apologize for it. It's a long story and I don't feel much like telling it to you, but I'm very sorry for everything," Meilin said as she started to walk out.
"…Meilin, wait," Sakura said as she stood up and walked over to her.
"…"
"Thank you for still being my friend," Sakura said as she hugged Meilin for the first time in a while.
"…No, thank you for giving me another chance," Meilin said, remembering all the cruel things that she had done to Sakura, just for the elders.
"…Sakura…do you know about Syao…"
"Meilin…" said a voice from behind them, making them both jump.
"Syaoran," Sakura said, running up to him and giving him a hug, but when he wrapped his arms around her, she began to cry.
"Meilin, can you…"
"Sure, Syaoran," Meilin said as she smiled sadly at them and left.
"Sakura…" Syaoran said, pulling her face up so he could see her.
"Yes," Sakura said as he wiped away her tears.
"We need to talk about…"
"…Your judgment?" Sakura said, smiling sadly.
"How did you know?" Syaoran asked, looking down at her.
"I've been having dreams about it," Sakura said, looking down.
"What have you seen?" Syaoran asked, hoping that she hadn't seen too much.
"…"
"Sakura, please tell me. What do you see?" Syaoran asked again, picking her head up gently with his hand.
"…It doesn't matter…"
"Yes it does, Sakura. I want to know so I can help you understand something," Syaoran said, giving her a reassuring smile.
"…You still die at the end," Sakura said, ignoring what he had just said right now and began to cry once again.
"…"
"…Syaoran…"
"…Sakura, I promise you that I will make it back to you, no matter what happens, I will come back to you," Syaoran said as he lifted her face up again and kissed her gently.
'I promise, Sakura, my love.'
When Tomoyo had left, she went looking for Eriol, knowing that she needed to tell him now. She knew from the very beginning that she loved him, but didn't want to tell him in return for a broken heart. But now, she knew that she had to before something happened to them and she was never able to tell him the truth. She found him, lying down and looking up at the dusk sky now.
"Hey Eriol," Tomoyo said as she sat down next to him.
Eriol opened his eyes and looked up to find Tomoyo sitting down next to him, looking down at him. He looked back up into the sky and slowly sat up.
"Tomoyo, I need to tell you something," Eriol said, turning a hinge a pink.
"Um…I need to tell you something too," Tomoyo said, also turning a hinge of pink.
"Tomoyo, that day that I first saw you and got to know you better, I…"
"What is it Eriol?" Tomoyo asked, hoping that he would say what she thought he was going to say.
"I think…I know I love you, Tomoyo," Eriol said as he wrapped his hands around her and kissed her.
Tomoyo was shocked at first, but quickly responded and wrapped her arms around him, bringing him closer to her. Tomoyo didn't know what to think except that she was in heaven. This kiss that they shared was different from all the others because they were putting their love into the kiss.
When they pulled back, Tomoyo still had her eyes closed and slowly opened them, coming face to face with him. She smiled and gave him another quick kiss.
"…Tomoyo…"
"Eriol, I love you too," Tomoyo said as she saw his eyes shine with happiness and love.
They just sat there, wrapped up in each other's arms, not thinking about the day that would come and tear them all apart.
~*~ Next Week ~*~
"Sakura, we have to leave tomorrow," Tomoyo said as they sat in kitchen.
"But I thought that we were…"
"I know, but something came up and mother needs me back there already," Tomoyo said, looking at her friend sadly.
"You have to call her back and tell her…"
"I've tried that already and she said no. She wants me back there and she says that your dad needs you back there now, too," Tomoyo said as she saw the guys walk in.
"Whats wrong?" Eriol asked as he saw Tomoyo was about to cry along with Sakura.
Sakura stood there as the tears started to run freely down her cheeks. Syaoran walked up to her and was about to wrap his arms around her when she turned away and took off running into the garden. Syaoran just stood there, not knowing what had just happened.
"We're leaving tomorrow," Tomoyo said as she looked up and saw Syaoran run after Sakura.
Eriol just stood there and looked at Tomoyo, unsure of what to do. He walked up to her and wrapped his arms around her and once he did, she started to cry.
"Sakura!" Syaoran called, running after her, hoping that he would find her.
He found her sitting under the cherry tree, starring up at the moonlit sky.
"Sakura?" Syaoran asked as he sat down next her.
"I don't want to leave," Sakura said as she wrapped her arms around him and cried into his chest.
"Maybe…maybe its for the best," Syaoran said as he held her close to him.
"No! I don't want to leave you," Sakura said as she knew that no matter what, she had to leave.
"Sakura, you have to. I know your family misses you and besides, I promise that everything is over, I'll come back to you with Eriol," Syaoran said, pulling her head up to look at her.
"I know you said that, but I…"
Syaoran silenced her with a kiss and she happily complied, hoping that he would never leave her and if he does, he would find a way to get back to her.
"I love you, Eriol," Tomoyo said as she hugged him once last time before she got on her flight.
"Don't worry, Tomoyo, everything will be alright in the end and we'll both come back to Japan," Eriol said as he kissed her on her forehead.
"I'll wait for you on the plane, Sakura," Tomoyo said as she gave a hug and a kiss to Eriol one last time and walked onto the plane.
"I don't want for you to worry about anything," Syaoran said, kissing Sakura on her forehead.
"But…"
"No 'buts', Sakura. I promise to come back to you with Eriol," Syaoran said, smiling at her.
"I love you, Syaoran," Sakura said, looking up at him and returning the smile.
"I love you too, Cherry Blossom," Syaoran said as he gave her one more kiss and a hug.
"Remember, you said you would come back to me," Sakura said, trying not to cry.
"I know and I promise that I'll see you soon," Syaoran said as he saw her pull away and walked to the plan.
'I promise you, Sakura,' Syaoran said as he and Eriol turned around and left.
"You feel that?" Eriol asked, looking up at Syaoran as they practiced in the garden.
"…"
"What are you going to do?" Eriol asked, waiting for him to answer.
"…"
"…Sorry, Syaoran," Eriol said as he walked away, leaving him there.
'Sakura…I'm sorry,' Syaoran said as he turned around to come face to face with the elders.
