A/N #1: Hey peoples! This is my second fic. I hope you like it. By the way, Sakura, Syaoran, and Tomoyo are 19, the other students ages are 18-22, and the professors are 30-?.
A/N #2: Wow, look at all the wonderful reviews you guys have given me. I am certainly not worthy. Well, here's the next chapter. I do hope you all enjoy this chapter. I sort of wrote it when I was a little sick.
Disclaimer I do not, in any way, shape, or form, own CCS. The reason being that Clamp does.
Out of all Places, It had to be Hong Kong
CHAPTER 5
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
30 minutes later . . .
Syaoran have been looking all over campus for Tomoyo. He was about to give up, until he saw her with Ling at the school's coffee shop, Hyper.
(A/N: I think that's an appropriate name for a coffee shop, don't you?)
"Tomoyo!" Syaoran yelled, as he was running toward them.
"Oh, hi Syaoran. What can I do for you?" Tomoyo asked.
"Well, can I talk to you? Alone?"
Tomoyo looked to Ling, she motioned that she will go and leave them alone.
"So, what's so important that you need to talk to me alone?" Tomoyo questioned.
"It's about Sakura." This caused Tomoyo to let out a small gasp.
"Sakura? Sakura who?" Tomoyo tried her best to trick Syaoran, but it didn't work.
"Don't play dumb with me, Tomoyo. I know she is here. I have her for my calculus class. Plus, it's not common for a person from Hong Kong to have a Japanese name.
"Oh, well in that case. What's up?"
"Well, you see. When I greeted Sakura today, she didn't really seem herself. She was pretty unhappy and more quiet than I remember."
"Well, I think you should thank yourself for a job well done."
"Thank myself? For what?"
"For not keeping your promise or not keeping in touch with her. For the first 4 years, she believed that you were going to return, or at least call or write. But as the months went by, she was becoming more unsociable by the hour. She concentrated more on her studies than most of her friends. Do you know how hard it was for me to convince Sakura to join Pi Beta Delta? I am just relieved that the her membership to the sorority made her start acting her normal, cheerful self before you left." Tomoyo said, in an angry tone.
Syaoran was just speechless. He couldn't believe how much pain he caused to Sakura and to Tomoyo.
"I'm sorry Tomoyo. I would have at least made contact with all of you, but the clan elders were very strict with my education and my training."
"I understand you have responsibilities, but that still doesn't excuse the fact that you broke your promise to her. I love you as a friend, but Sakura loved you more than a friend. But now I can't really tell if she still loves you that way anymore."
"Oh. I see. Well, I guess I'll see you later, then." Syaoran got up from his chair and was heading out for the exit. But Tomoyo began to think. When she was done, she immediately ran after Syaoran. Luckily, Syaoran didn't walk very far.
"Syaoran!" Tomoyo said, as she was trying to regain her breath. "Look, I know that what I said was a little cold, but I know how much you love Sakura, and I have a feeling, that deep down, Sakura still loves you. And I will do my best to make sure Sakura realizes it."
Syaoran was relieved that Tomoyo wasn't completely angry with him.
"Thanks." That was all Syaoran could say.
"I must say that there is no guarantee that Sakura will return your feelings."
"Well that's a risk I am willing to take." With that, Syaoran went to his office at the Pi Sigma Alpha house and Tomoyo went back to the coffee shop.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
10:45 p.m. at Sakura and Tomoyo's apartment . . .
Tomoyo was making some tea, when Sakura entered the apartment.
"Hey. So how was your day?" Tomoyo asked.
"It was alright, I guess. You?"
"Same here. I just hung out with Ling at a coffee shop here on campus." Tomoyo said, not mentioning the small chat she had with Syaoran.
"Is it called Hyper, by any chance?"
"Yeah. Why?"
"Oh, I was given a job there. I start next week."
"That's cool."
"Well I am beat. I think I am going to take a nice, long bath. Then go to sleep."
"Alright."
"Night Tomoyo."
"Good night, Sakura." With that, Sakura went to the bathroom and turned on the water.
'Hmm. So Sakura is going to work at Hyper. I think I better tell Syaoran about this. This may prove to be useful at getting them together.' Tomoyo thought. She then finished her tea and sat down on the couch and watched some TV before she went to bed.
