ENDLESS PASSION
Chapter 5 - Torn Emotions
Running in all directions, Sakura looks around trying to chase Syaoran. "Syaoran!! Syaoran!!!" She shouts. Her streaming tears ran down her cheeks like a bursted dam. She breathes very quickly, dying for some air while running like wild to seek Syaoran.
Sakura keeps running forward, not knowing how far and how exhausted she is. Without realizing that she almost ran all the way home to the penguin park, she collapsed right in the middle of the road. "Syaoran. . ." she cries.
Her legs were swollen red from all the running which made it impossible for her to move another step. "Syaoran!! Why are you hiding from me? Syaoran!" Sakura crunches herself into a ball and cried like she never did before. She realizes that the feeling of Syaoran's hatred is even worse than being struck to death. Her mind felt unloved, with Syaoran's face appearing all over her mind. One of Syaoran's face was bright red with anger and his eyes filled with jealousy. Another had him staring blankly at her, while another had him looking at Sakura with teary eyes. She couldn't help but think these illusions in front of her were all true, which made her cry harder.
From far behind on the other direction, there are two figures running towards Sakura. They were easily identified as Tomoyo and Eriol at glance, but Sakura ignored and continued crying in her condition.
"Sakura!!" Tomoyo yelled worriedly. "Finally we found her!!"
Eriol seems even more worried than Tomoyo because he sprinted faster to Sakura and immediate helped her sat straight up. "Sakura, what's wrong?" Eriol's care seems to make Tomoyo show a slight tint of jealousy.
Sakura didn't bother to answer and continued hiding her face within her arms, crying harder. Tomoyo slipped out a small hankerchief and wiped the tears off of Sakura's face. Eriol grabbed one of the fruit juice that he bought earlier in the study hall and offered it to Sakura. When Sakura saw the fruit juice, she couldn't help but continue sobbing because it reminded her too much of the incident.
Tomoyo and Eriol both shrugged, and carried her to the nearest park bench instead of sitting on the ground. After a few more minutes, Sakura had calmed down much more now. She accepted the fruit juice and was drinking it quickly, causing her to almost choke. Eriol patted lightly on her back, trying to make her feel better while Tomoyo was helping her with another box of juice.
Eriol finally gathered the courage to ask, "What happened?"
Sakura froze, trying hard to hold her tears back. Eriol regretted his question when he saw Sakura's uneasiness. Sakura didn't answer, or too embarrassed to answer, and looked away instead.
Tomoyo reached over and held Sakura's hands. "Sakura, it's alright. You don't have to tell us, but I just want you to know that we'll always be there for you. . ."
Sakura nodded politely, still refusing to spit out a word. Tomoyo sighed and held Sakura's hands tighter, and suddenly noticed the bruise marks on her wrist. "Sakura! Who hurt you??" Tomoyo shrieked.
Eriol's attention suddenly changed to Sakura's wrists. He examined it, and immediately concluded that it was a hand mark. "Tell us, Sakura! Who is the jerk that dared to hurt you like this??" Eriol's anger was reaching to his peak. He gasped all of a sudden and jumped to conclusion. "No. . . . . .Did Syaoran gave you that bruise? Is he the one who hurt you?"
Sakura's couldn't hold it much longer, and eventually cried again, making Tomoyo do her comforting all over again. Eriol didn't even give Sakura a chance to explain. "Syaoran that jerk!! Why did he do such thing to you after all the things you two have gone through?? Wait here Sakura, I'll go and beat the senses back to him!!" Eriol formed a fist on his hand and started rolling his sleeves up.
"Don't, Eriol!" Tomoyo immediately snapped. "It might have been a mistake! I still don't believe Syaoran would do such thing!"
"Don't stop me, Tomoyo! Syaoran's the only one who can make Sakura cry so hard! It's no mistake!!" Eriol didn't listen to a word Tomoyo said. He stood up and started running towards the direction of Syaoran's house.
"Eriol! Don't!!" Sakura managed to shout. "It's not Syaoran's fault! It was all my fault!! It was. . . . . .it was. . . . . ." Sakura couldn't continue.
Eriol looked back at Sakura, who was still sobbing hard. "How can it be your fault?"
Tomoyo took out a bag of kleenex and gave it to Sakura since the hankerchief was already soaked in Sakura's tears. "Sakura, you've got to tell us who it was that gave you the bruise so we can help. . ." Tomoyo suddenly realized something. "No, it couldn't be. . . . . . he wouldn't dare! Is it. . . . . ."
"It was me," Josh interrupted. He was breathing very hard that made it evident that he chased Sakura all the way here. "I know I shouldn't have been so rough, but I didn't mean to! Please, Sakura! Please forgive me!"
Eriol's eyes literally burst into flames. "Josh Yakosaki! You've got the nerve to touch Sakura! I'll teach you a lesson on behalf of Syaoran!"
Josh turned around and locked his eyes on Eriol, "This is between Sakura and I, so stay out of it!" Josh continue walking towards Sakura.
"Why you. . ." Eriol grunted and cracked some of his knuckles, ready to punch Josh any minute.
"Eriol! Stop!! Don't fight!" Tomoyo called while running towards him. "Please, no more fighting!"
Eriol's anger was already uncontrollable that he pushed Tomoyo aside and formed another fist on his other hand. Tomoyo, who was knocked on the ground, started forming tears in her eyes. 'Eriol. . . she pushed me away because he wanted to fight for Sakura. . .' Tomoyo's emotions was very confused, and very shocked to see Eriol's anger so uncontrollable.
"STOP!" Sakura cried out. Her shout caused Eriol to jump in shock. "Don't hurt him! I told you before!! It was my fault and nobody else's!!" Sakura dropped on to her knees and started crying again.
Eriol still wanted to give Josh a punch, but seemed to swing his fist in thin air instead. Josh made a small grin, then walked over to Sakura, who was crying.
"Sakura, please let me take you home as part of my apology," Josh insisted while pulling her up.
"You wish, jerk! Don't even dare to touch her again!" Eriol fired the words at Josh.
Tomoyo stood up and just stared with shock in her eyes. 'Eriol. . .he cares so much for Sakura. He only have eyes on Sakura. . .not me. . .'
Sakura wiped away the last of her tears, and started talking softly to Eriol. "Thank you for caring so much about me. . .but you should consider Tomoyo's feelings too," Sakura saw Tomoyo's sad face, and cued Eriol at the same time.
Eriol was being persistant. "That jerk is trying to gain advantage of you!" Eriol spitted out while glaring angrilly at Josh.
"I'll be fine," Sakura insisted, and faked a smile to Eriol. "It's been a long day, why don't you take Tomoyo home?"
Eriol nodded, gave Josh a final glance, then walked away with Tomoyo. Josh suddenly bursted with joy, "Finally, I'm alone with you, Sakura!"
"I'm going home," Sakura murmured and quickly walked away.
"Hey wait up, Sakura!" Josh called out and catched up to her.
~~~~~~~~~~
'Was I being too cold to Sakura?' Syaoran thought, while laying on his bed in his room. He couldn't keep his mind off of the moment he saw Sakura and Josh together, alone.
'I shouldn't have been so mad. . .maybe the whole situation is not what I think it is. . .' another image of Sakura and Josh's lips touching appeared in his mind again. He became so angry that he punch his pillow hard enough release all the cotton within it. He threw his torn pillow to the other side of the room, causing all the cotton inside it to fly across the room and snowing it back to the ground.
Suddenly, a picture frame fell on to the ground, smashing the glass in to pieces. Syaoran glanced at it, and saw the picture of him and Sakura on their first date. He stared at it for a very long time, and studied the pieces of broken glass scattered across the ground. He suddenly had a thought of a bad omen.
Syaoran crawled over and picked up the remains of the picture frame, studying the happy faces displayed in the picture. He couldn't help, but to smile again at Sakura's cute face. He shaked his head back to reality, 'I must be too stressed these days and everything must have been a misunderstanding. I'll go over to Sakura's house and apologize to her about my ignorance.' A smile appeared on Syaoran's face almost immediately.
He ran out of his house and jumped onto his bike, eager to see Sakura again. He pedaled across the busy street and came across a beautiful flower garden. He couldn't help but to stop and breathe in the fresh scent of all the flowers that's grown in the garden.
'I know! I'll go and pick some of Sakura's favorite flowers for her! She always loved it when I give her flowers from this garden,' Syaoran thought. He skipped into the garden and quickly pulled some flowers out of the flower pot. He ran back on to his bike and pedaled straight to Sakura's house.
After a few minutes, Syaoran had already came to the corner of Sakura's house. He was standing in the corner of the house with the flowers in his hands.
"I'm sorry for being so stupid and ignorant. When I saw these flowers, I was thinking of you and I thought you might like it. . .Please forgive me Sakura!" Syaoran rehearsed to himself while holding the flowers in front of him and pretended to give it to Sakura. He shooked his head vigorously and started laughing.
"Hahaha! That was so embarrassing!!" He cleared his throat and thought of a new phrase. "Sakura, I was being very very stupid and I knew everything was a mistake. I've picked these flowers for you and I hope you would accept it, along with my apologies." This time, Syaoran liked the phrase. He took a deep breathe, the walked to Sakura's front doors. "Here goes nothing. . ."
Right when Syaoran turned in the intersection to Sakura's front doors, he saw Sakura standing there, with Josh beside her. Josh was holding on to Sakura's hands while apologizing over and over again about her bruised wrist. Syaoran stood as still as a statue, watching the two of them standing together and suddenly dropped the flowers on the ground. Sakura and Josh didn't seem to notice Syaoran's presence.
"Josh, you can leave now," Sakura said coldly to him, but he was persistant.
"Please Sakura, let me do something to make it up to you!" Josh whined.
"Josh, please! Maybe another time or something, but I don't want to be bothered. . . . . . . . . ." before Sakura finished, she noticed Syaoran face. The expression on his face was exactly the same as when he caught Sakura and Josh kissing.
"Syaoran. . . . .I. . . . .I. . . . . ." the words couldn't get out of Sakura's mouth. She had done it again, twice this time.
Josh made his grin again. "Hah! It's you again, Syaoran. Didn't I prove to you before that Sakura loves me?"
Syaoran shook his head in disbelieve. Sakura was hesitating with her words again. "Syaoran, it's not what you think. . . . . . ."
Josh pulled Sakura close to him and put his hands over her shoulders. "Give it up, Syaoran! Sakura is mine now!"
Sakura struggled and pushed Josh's hands away from her shoulders. She ran over to Syaoran and held his hands. "Syaoran, it's not true! I love you with all my heart and. . . . . ."
"It has all been a lie. . . . . ." Syaoran mumbled under his breath.
Sakura was confused, "Hoe?"
"IT HAS ALL BEEN A LIE!!" Syaoran shouted out and pushed Sakura away, causing her to lose her balance and fall on to the ground.
Sakura was frightened to see Syaoran's face so angry at her. "Syaoran. . . . . ." she whispered.
"After all the things I've done for you! After all the things we've been through to be together! After all the love and time I've put into you! Now you're showing me that I'm not worth your love!!!" Syaoran cried in front of Sakura. "Sakura Kinomoto! WE ARE THROUGH!"
Sakura was shaking. "S-Syaoran. . .y-you don't mean it, d-do you?" She whispered again.
Syaoran didn't answer and ran away crying in the other direction. Sakura sat frozen on the spot with Syaoran's last words running through her head. She turned around and found out that Josh had already left, leaving Sakura sitting on the ground alone. All that was left with Sakura was a pile of stepped flowers that was left by Syaoran. . .
