Returned to Only Face the Past
A/N: I would thank those who reviewed. I know that this chapter sucks. I won't be putting up another chapter for a while because I'm going for a long x-mas break.
~*~
Everyone was there for Sakura's funeral; including Mei Ling. Tomoyo had asked Syaoran to call Mei Ling to come for Sakura's funeral. When Mei Ling heard that Sakura was dead, she had thought that it was all Syaoran's fault, but no one knew whose fault was it, except for Sakura and the cards themselves. Everyone laid a cherry blossom down for Sakura, since that was the meaning of her name and her favorite flower. After everyone had left, Syaoran had told Naru that he wanted to stay for a while. Naru nodded with understanding, but she didn't understand why, though.
Syaoran look at where her family had chosen to bury her. Near a Sakura tree, that's really thoughtful and nice of them, Syaoran thought to himself. It was true that no one knew the reason why Sakura had commit suicide, but somewhere deep inside of him, he knew that he was the reason why Sakura had commit suicide.
"Why? Why, did you have to commit suicide?" Syaoran asked.
While Syaoran was asking 'why', he didn't notice that Mei Ling, Naru, and Tomoyo was watching him from behind the Sakura tree. Naru wanted to go over to where Syaoran is and tell him that it wasn't his fault, and that she could use her magic to help him a bit, but Mei Ling and Tomoyo held her back. It hurt Naru to see Syaoran in this state; she never knew why Sakura was so important to him and exactly who she was.
~*~
Days passed, soon it became months, then years since Sakura's death. Now, everyone was over with Sakura's death, but once in a while, everyone remembers her in a way. Syaoran and Naru went back to Hong Kong, after their four months stay was over, Eriol went back to England a week after Sakura's funeral, and Mei Ling decided to stay for a while. Kero and Yue is still waiting for their new mistress to come, while Tomoyo and Mei Ling opened a clothing store.
One day, while Mei Ling was taking a day off from working at the shop, Syaoran phoned, and she was surprised that he and Naru was getting married in six months time, and that he and Naru was coming over, so Tomoyo could make the outfits that they needed. Since Mei Ling disliked Naru for several reasons, she told Syaoran that they would have to pay.
"Syaoran, you know that that means you would have to pay," Mei Ling said.
"I don't have to worry; it's only Naru that needs it, not me. I'm wearing my father's tuxedo for the wedding," Syaoran replied. Mei Ling had an evil smile on her face when she heard Syaoran's reply.
"Alright, then. When is Naru coming over? I need to tell Tomoyo, so she can start making the design," Mei Ling asked.
"About a month's time," Syaoran replied.
"Alright," Mei Ling replied as she wrote on her calendar when Naru was coming.
After Mei Ling finished talking to Syaoran, she quickly phoned Tomoyo and told her what's going on. When Tomoyo heard the news, she shouted 'kawaii!' some of her customers looked at her in a weird way, but knowing her a bit, they figured that she must have heard some good news. Tomoyo quickly wrote down some information when she finished talking with Mei Ling.
During the day, Tomoyo had wanted to draw out the ideas that she had for Syaoran and Naru's wedding, but couldn't since she was so busy. Later on the day when things cooled down, Tomoyo finally drew out some wedding designs for Syaoran's wedding. When she was about to draw another one that just came into her head, a customer came in. Tomoyo looked at the customer to see if he/she have been here before, but Tomoyo didn't recognize the face, so she had to help the 'new comer' out.
When Tomoyo walked up to the customer, the nearer she got the more familiar the face got. Tomoyo knew that she knew this person before, but couldn't put a finger on it. When the customer turned around and saw Tomoyo her happiness couldn't be hidden.
"Tomoyo! I never thought that you would open your own store!" The girl said. Tomoyo knew that she had heard the girl's voice before. The girl let Tomoyo lost in her thought as she look around the store.
I know that I know this girl! Why can't I remember? I know that I've seen that hair style before! She looks like... Tomoyo thought. As she looked at the girl more, she knew that she've seen her before. An image of a girl came up in Tomoyo's memories. The image of the girl had brown hair and in the same hairstyle as the girl. Also the image of the girl had a nice shade of clear emlard green eyes as the girl.
"S...s..Sakura?" Tomoyo choked out. Her voice sounding nervous, but filled with hope as well.
"Took you long enough," Sakura replied.
"B..b..but, you're dead," Tomoyo stated.
"I was never dead. I used the mirror card," Sakura explained. Tomoyo looked at her long lost best friend and tears of happiness filled her eyes. Tomoyo lead Sakura behind the counter, where they could talk, but Tomoyo could work as well. When Tomoyo went around to the back to get some tea, Sakura saw some of the drawings that Tomoyo had drew for Syaoran's wedding. When Tomoyo came back, Sakura asked Tomoyo if she was making a wedding dress.
"Yeah, I'm planning to make a wedding dress. Today is the best day of my life! I get to make a wedding dress and my best friend came back!" Tomoyo stated.
"I guess it is," Sakura said as she sip some tea.
"So, where have you been all these years?" Tomoyo asked.
"Around the world. It was so much fun. I learnt many things, too," Sakura replied.
"But.." Tomoyo trialed off when she saw Mei Ling b entering into the store. The
"Tomoyo, for the wedding dress, let me do the talking and you do the making, okay?" Mei Ling asked in a happy tone of voice.
"Huh?" Tomoyo heard what Mei Ling had asked, but she didn't know what Mei Ling was going to do.
"I said, let me do the talking and you can make the wed--hey, who's that?" Mei Ling asked in mid sentence when she saw Sakura.
"Mei Ling, is that really you?" Sakura asked, in an unbelieving tone of voice. Mei Ling slowly nodded her head.
Who is this girl? How does she know my name? Wait, she looks familiar..... Mei Ling thought.
"Mei Ling, this is Sakura," Tomoyo told Mei Ling, since she couldn't figure it out. Mei Ling had thought that she heard Tomoyo wrong.
Did Tomoyo just called the girl Sakura?! No way! She can't be Sakura, Sakura's dead, but she looks so much like her! Mei Ling thought mentally.
"Mei Ling? Are you alright?" Tomoyo asked.
"This is Sakura? Another Sakura, right?" Mei Ling asked.
"No, I'm the same one. I was never dead, Mei Ling," Sakura said, hoping that Mei Ling would believe them.
"What? How can that be?" Mei Ling exclaimed.
"Sakura was about to tell that and where she's been all these years," Tomoyo explained.
Soon Mei Ling learned that Sakura had used the mirror card and traveled all around the world. Tomoyo would always asked Sakura what the fashion was like in there she went and how was it. Since Mei Ling was living all alone, Sakura decided to live with her.
When the three walked into Tomoyo's place, Kero went downstairs to ask Tomoyo something, but when he saw Sakura, he nearly fainted. When Kero asked how, Sakura asked if Yue and her family could come over, so she wouldn't have to explain over and over. When Yukito saw Sakura, he quickly turned into Yue and went to hug her. Touya had fainted when he saw Sakura and wouldn't believe it when he woke up. When Sakura finished explaining, Eriol popped up, Sakura groan, hoping that she wouldn't have to explain an hour to another person. Eriol laughed when he read Sakura's mind.
"Don't worry, Sakura. I heard everything. I'm here to ask you something, though," Sakura nodded her head in response, "Did you really pick someone to be the new mistress or master?"
"No, I think that the Mirror Card only wrote that I have chosen a new one, so it looked like I really died," Sakura explained. "I'm still the mistress though, if you're wondering, Kero,"
Sakura then showed her key that she still have around her neck. Eriol slapped himself, forgetting that the key was missing that night when he went to see if Sakura was really dead. When Sakura opened the Sakura Book again, all the cards surrounded her, as if greeting her. After everything settle down, Sakura asked her father if it was alright for her to live with Mei Ling. Her father told her that she could, as long she visit him.
~*~
When Sakura moved in with Mei Ling, Kero also moved in with her, as well. Mei Ling at first minded, but later on didn't. Tomoyo asked Sakura if she was willing to help her out at the shop, Sakura agreed, and Mei Ling was happy that she could get more days off. Tomoyo used Sakura as a model to design the wedding dresses that she had design.
A month passed, and everything was going well. Sakura had wonder about Syaoran and Naru a few times, but thought it was best to forget about it. When she asked the Mirror Card what she wrote to Syaoran, the Mirror Card showed her and Sakura was a bit happy that the Mirror had written down her feelings. When Mei Ling went to pick Syaoran and Naru on her day off, Tomoyo was having fun making Sakura try on many of the wedding dress design that she had created.
Mei Ling decided to let Syaoran and Naru stay with her and Sakura, but didn't let them know that Sakura was alive and living with her. After Mei Ling showed Syaoran and Naru their rooms, she grabbed Kero and ran to the shop to see how's everything is going, but she mostly wanted to see Sakura in a wedding dress that Tomoyo had made for Sakura to wear as she makes the store flyers. While Syaoran and Naru were unpacking, Syaoran accidentally walked into Sakura's room, but didn't know that it was Sakura's room. Syaoran had to wonder whose room was it, he knew that it wasn't Mei Ling, since she was has tons of stuff, and it wasn't Tomoyo since she already have a place to live. Syaoran decided to ask Mei Ling about the room when she gets back.
After Tomoyo finished taping Sakura in a variety of clothes, she started to make the flyers, while Sakura looked after the shop. To past time, she and Mei Ling talked about some stuff that has been going on. Mei Ling kept on thinking if she should tell Sakura that Syaoran was getting married to Naru, in the end, Mei Ling told Sakura, and immediately felt guilty. Sakura seem to read Mei Ling's mind since she told Mei Ling not to feel guilty about it.
"Will you be alright?" Mei Ling asked.
"Yeah, thanks for telling me. Now, I have more time to think about it and not say what ever comes into my head first," Sakura joked, but she knew that Mei Ling wouldn't believe her.
When Tomoyo finished making the flyers, Mei Ling offered to pass them around. She told Tomoyo to come over after she and Sakura finished closing up. After Sakura and Tomoyo finished closing up, they headed to Mei Ling's/Sakura's. When they got there, Mei Ling and Tomoyo hid Sakura behind them, so he won't know that Sakura was alive. Everything was going well, until Syaoran asked about Sakura's room. Mei Ling and Tomoyo decided to play dumb, but Syaoran lead them to Sakura's bedroom and open the door to see Sakura reading a book on her bed. Syaoran thought that he was seeing things so he rubbed his eyes to see if he was or not.
"Mei Ling, who is that?" Naru asked, as she tossed her hair behind her.
"Roommate," Mei Ling replied.
"You never told us that you had a roommate," Syaoran said.
"Hey, I like to keep some things to myself," Mei Ling pouted.
"What's her name?" Naru asked.
Man, how nosy can she be? Mei Ling and Tomoyo thought.
"None of your business," Mei Ling replied.
"Well, I think that we ought to know, since she's living here and Syaoran and I are staying for a while," Naru said.
"Nope, I'm going to stay with Tomoyo for a few months," Sakura suddenly said, letting Mei Ling and Tomoyo know that she wanted to get out.
"Huh? Some roommate," Naru thought out loud.
"Naru! Be careful of what you say about other people!" Syaoran explained.
"So, SAKURA, just tell me when you're ready to go, okay?" Tomoyo said. Syaoran looked at Sakura, shocked. He couldn't believe that she was alive.
"Sakura? Wasn't--no, isn't she dead? Unless you've found someone else that's named Sakura," Naru blurted.
"So what? Is that part of your business? No," Mei Ling said as she pushed Syaoran and Naru out of Sakura's room, leaving Tomoyo to help Sakura pack.
When Sakura and Tomoyo finished packing they said their good byes and left. Naru remembered that she has to meet her Aunt Yumi, so she left. When Naru left, Syaoran cornered Mei Ling and started to ask her questions about Sakura. When Mei Ling finished telling Syaoran everything, he went into his bedroom to think. While Syaoran was thinking, he then knew that it was his fault that Sakura had done what she did.
I'm sorry, Sakura, please forgive me. I never meant to break the promise, but I think that Naru cast a spell over me, please find it in your heart to forgive me. I'm sorry. I love you, Syaoran thought. He decided to turn in for the night and went to sleep.
~*~
While, at Tomoyo's house, Sakura was looking out a window in a room that Tomoyo let her stay until she felt better.
"Syaoran, why? I recovered from the things from the past over the years, but if you get married, I think that I won't be able to survive that. Is it really too late to say I love you, now?" Sakura thought out loud. When she saw a shooting star pasting by, she made a wish.
"I wish that things will work out fine and everyone is happy," Sakura wished.
