I had this story up on Ashiteru Syaoran but the site was closed down so now it's here!

Syaoran walked to Tomoyo's large room and slowly opened the door. "Tomoyo, I was wondering when you would get back..." started Sakura but then she saw...Syaoran!
Sakura's jaw dropped and then she ran up to Syaoran and hugged him with all the energy her arms could muster. She started to cry out of happiness. "Syaoran, you're back... I always knew you would come back...I've missed you so much." she said slowly and hugged him tighter as if she didn't want him to ever be away form her again.
Syaoran sighed happily and put his arms around her. "I missed you too Sakura..." he said. Tomoyo then came into the room from behind the door with her video camera recording them. "So kawaii!" (Kawaii means "cute"...I think...lol...tell me if I'm right...I'm always right...anyways back tot the fic) Sakura and Syaoran sweat-dropped, but maintained their happy mood.
Sakura, Syaoran, and Tomoyo (Madison) spent the next hour or 2 catching Syaoran up on the latest events and gossip until it was time for bed. "Sakura, can you show Syaoran to the guest room?" she asked with a wink. Sakura blushed but nodded her head in agreement. Sakura and Syaoran walked in silence to the room when Sakura could not hold it any longer.
"Syaoran, are you going to leave again? Or will you stay this time, for real? I want to know before I let myself continue to love you, because if you aren't staying... I don't think I want to go through the pain of not having you there to protect me again." She cried out on the verge of tears.
Syaoran saw her and heart lurched. "Sakura, I...I..." Syaoran could not say the words. He meant to say "I love you too" but...he couldn't bring himself to say it. And at that second, he knew he didn't love Sakura anymore. He had fallen out of love with her. "Oh no!" thought Syaoran and mentally slapped himself, "You came all the way out here and you don't even love her anymore!"
"Syaoran?" asked Sakura, "What were you going to say?" Syaoran snapped back to attention. "Umm...it was nothing...I'm sorry for leaving like that last time...but I'm not sure when the clan will need me back, so I don't know how long I'll be able to stay. I'm sorry Sakura." He spoke from the bottom of his heart.
Sakura nodded her head understanding him...or so she thought. She had hope he would say "I love you, too" and return her affections... but she guessed it wasn't meant to be for today. "Maybe tomorrow..." she thought wistfully. "Sakura, will you show me around Japan tomorrow?" Syaoran interrupted her thoughts. "I haven't been hack in so long and I don't want to get lost, plus I would love your company."
"I'd be happy to accompany you" replied Sakura happily. To her this might be a semi-date kind of thing. Syaoran saw her face light up. "Uh oh...maybe she thinks I'm asking her on a date...great, just what I need." He thought sarcastically. Usually his heart would have gone light at the sight of her being happy, but his heart stayed neutral. He definitely wasn't in love with her anymore.
"Well, Umm... Goodnight Sakura." He said and gave her the tiniest peck on the cheek. Sakura blushed happily and whispered "goodnight Syaoran." Back.
She them turned around and walked away but tripped over a piece of uneven carpet. Syaoran chuckled and entered the room. "Meilin would have never tripped like Sakura always seems to." He thought. His heart warmed at the thought of Meilin walking as gracefully as she always did. She was so...beautiful. Wait, did he just think of Meilin as "beautiful"? It was confirmed. Could the one he loved be...Meilin?
