Chapter Six


"Sakura," said Sonomi.

"Yes?" Sakura walking through the door with Tomoyo.

"Go pack your bags right now," said Sonomi.

"What?!" said Sakura, "Why?!"

"Because we're leaving this instant. I have urgent business to tend to back in Canada," said Sonomi.

"Couldn't we just stay here till tomorrow at least and then fly back tomorrow by ourselves?" asked Sakura.

"Sakura, you know I would never do that. I don't even know why you asked," said Sonomi, "So go now and get ready to leave."

"Alright," said Sakura looking sadly at the ground while walking to her room.

"Sakura," said Yelan walking into the hallway.

"Yes Mrs. Li," said Sakura looking up.

"Where is Syaoran?" asked Yelan.

"He's at Eriol's. Eriol needed to tell him something so he went over there quickly before dinner," said Sakura.

"Oh ok. I hope he phones me soon," said Yelan.

"I'm sure he will," said Sakura walking into her room.

Sakura walked through Tomoyo's room and to hers. She looked out the window at the garden.

"I'm going to miss all of this. I can't believe this is happening," said Sakura.

Sakura walked over to the closet where she kept her suitcase. She went to her drawers and put her clothes in. She went very slowly hoping that Syaoran would come back soon so she could say goodbye. But he never did. She packed and packed at a slow rate and was soon done. She zipped up her suitcase and brought it out to the hallway.

"Are you ready?" asked Sonomi.

"Yes Auntie," said Sakura.

"Then let's go," said Sonomi walking down the walkway.

As they walked down the walkway Syaoran was just coming up it.

"Where are you going?!" he said.

"We're leaving," said Sakura.

"What? You can't. This is so familiar. No, not again," said Syaoran.

"Syaoran, please don't say anything. Just please leave. This is hard enough to leave you and this is just making it harder on me," said Sakura.

"But what about us?" said Syaoran.

"Forget us," said Sakura.

"You don't mean that," said Syaoran.

"Your right I don't. But we just can't be together. I live in Canada and you live in China. My place is there and your place is here to become the leader of the Li Clan. We're just two people with two different destinies," said Sakura.

"No, that's where you're wrong. We are Two People with One Destiny. A destiny that neither of us can control," said Syaoran.

"Syaoran, don't do this. Not to me," said Sakura.

"But Sakura, I just can't," said Syaoran.

"Then I'm going to have to be the bad guy here and just leave. Sayonara Syaoran," said Sakura.

"Sakura," said Syaoran, "Goodbye."

"Goodbye," said Sakura climbing into the limo.

"There goes the best thing that ever happened to me," said Syaoran sighing looking at the ground.

"Sakura are you alright?" asked Tomoyo.

"You know I'm not," said Sakura sobbing, "This just isn't fair. I never even got to tell him that I loved him. Really loved him."

"It's ok, you'll him again someday," said Tomoyo.

"Aren't you sad at all? You won't see Eriol again," said Sakura.

"Oh he's coming to Canada for school," said Tomoyo.

"See? Everything works perfectly for you. But for me? No, I had to be the unlucky one with a twisted fate," said Sakura.

"It's alright. One day you will go back and maybe by then you two will have worked everything out. Maybe then you can say your true feelings," said Tomoyo.

"But one day could be any day. It could be tomorrow or a month from now or even a year. Maybe even more than a year! I just wish this didn't have to happen," said Sakura.

"Just believe that one day it will happen. Besides, it's destined to happen," said Tomoyo.

"Why do you say that?" asked Sakura.

"Don't you remember that time when you woke up suddenly and said 'Li'?" asked Tomoyo.

"Yeah, it was the night before we left for China," said Sakura, "Do you think that meant something?"

"Yeah, I do. I really think it meant something towards your future. After all you met Syaoran 'Li' the next day," said Tomoyo.

"Oh well, destiny is never fore told. You just go with whatever gets thrown at you. Unfortunately I got throw back to Canada without even having time to tell him I loved him. I guess this is why people say to tell someone you love them because you never know what'll happen," said Sakura.

"We're at the airport now," said Sonomi.

"Ok," said Sakura climbing out of the limo.

"Sayonara China. Sayonara Syaoran," said Sakura walking into the airport.

"OH! THIS IS SO GREAT! I'M SO HAPPY!!!" said Whitney as she watched Sakura walk into the airport.

"What does it matter? Syaoran will still love her. This is true love, I swear," said Marshall.

"Then maybe we will have to get rid of Sakura," said Whitney, "But I'm not in the mood to kill anybody right now. Anyways, who knows, if she never returns then perhaps I might be able to step in."

=She's nuts= thought Marshall.

"And what if he goes after he and you never see him again?" asked Marshall.

"Then I will make them both pay dearly," said Whitney glaring at the doors from which Sakura had entered.

"ERRRRRRRR," said Syaoran in room.

"I can't stand this. Why was I such a fool? Why didn't I tell her? Loads of opportunity but now she's on a plane back to Canada. Life sucks and ERRRRRRR," said Syaoran holding his head.

"I'm a failure. I got attacked by a wolf thing and no matter how hard I try. I cannot locate the clow cards. They're out there somewhere and I have no clue. I don't know who has them. No Clow cards, No girl of my dreams," said Syaoran.

"Syaoran-sama dinner is ready," said Wei.

"Arigato (thanks) Wei," said Syaoran walking out of his room.

Syaoran came and sat quietly in his seat at the table.

"Syaoran is something wrong?" asked Yelan.

"No, nothing is wrong. I'm fine," he said.

"Are you sure?" asked Yelan.

"No, I'm not sure of anything anymore," said Syaoran.

"You miss Sakura, don't you?" asked Yelan.

"Yes, she was my girlfriend and now she's gone," said Syaoran.

"She wasn't really," said Yelan.

"You know?" said Syaoran.

"Yes, I know that you two were never going out. I do know when I'm being lied to," said Yelan.

"I'm sorry for lying to you," said Syaoran.

"You are forgiven. Though despite the fact that you two were never really boyfriend or girlfriend, I know that you love her very much," said Yelan.

"Yes and I never told her," said Syaoran looking down.

"You could always go to her and tell her how you feel you know," said Yelan.

"Huh?" said Syaoran.

"Take the jet and fly to Canada. Tell her," said Yelan.

"I can't," said Syaoran.

"Why not?" asked Yelan.

"For the same reason why I never told her when she was here," said Syaoran.

"I see," said Yelan.

"May I be excused?" asked Syaoran.

"Yes," said Yelan.

"Poor Syaoran with his broken heart. That's two now…" said Fuutie.

"One day Sakura, One day," said Syaoran looking out his window.

"Where you are. Where you and I will breathe together. Once again. We'll be dancing in the moonlight. Just like we used to do. And you'll be smilin back at me. Only then will I be free. When I can be. Where you are," sang the speakers in the airport.

Sakura walked in silence with her best friend Tomoyo and her Aunt Sonomi. She felt saddened by this ordeal and very hurt. She had guessed that she had been reading too many romance novels.

=If this was a romance novel, this would be the part where Syaoran runs up and tells me he loves me. He would yell over everything and then we'd run to each other and share a passionate kiss…= thought Sakura.

"Tomoyo," said Sakura.

"Yeah?" said Tomoyo.

"I've been reading to many romance novels," said Sakura laughing.

"I see. This is the part where Syaoran is supposed to rush in right?" asked Tomoyo.

"Yup, but no luck, alas, this must be a different kind of novel," said Sakura smiling.

"Oh well, you'll find out what kind of story this is someday," said Tomoyo.

"Yeah, I will. But for now. I'll go home. I miss Ben," said Sakura.

"What?" said Tomoyo.

"I said, I miss…" said Sakura.

"Yeah I heard that, but how? You were like obsessed with Syaoran and now your back to Ben all of the sudden," said Tomoyo.

"I don't know, maybe this whole ordeal has taught me something. I need to not fall in love so easily. After all it's taken me years to fall in love with Ben and do disregard all those feelings would be stupid. Besides you know that Syaoran lives in China and I live in Canada but Ben he lives in Canada and I'm just not up to living a long distance relationship," said Sakura.

"Well it's your life. You can do what you want," said Tomoyo.

"And so I will," said Sakura.

"I'd just like to mention before we get on the plane that you're not as good an actor as you thought," said Tomoyo boarding the plane.

"I know," said Sakura boarding the plane.

So Sakuraand Tomoyo sat on the plane talking about things they were looking forward to when they got back to Canada. Tomoyo was looking forward to seeing her friends and Sakura was looking forward to seeing Ben, or so she said. Finally they were back in Canada.

"Back in Beautiful British Columbia," said Sakura.

"Yup, it's nice to be back here," said Tomoyo.

"Sakura!" yelled a voice.

Sakura turned around and saw Ben running towards her.

"Oh hey Ben, it's great to see you," said Sakura.

"It's great to see you too," said Ben giving Sakura a hug.

"Umm…yeah," said Sakura, "I missed you."

"Yeah, likewise, do you want to go see a movie or something?" asked Ben.

"Maybe later. I'm kinda drowsy right now. Probably from the effects of the gravol. I'm gong to go home and I'll talk to you later," said Sakura.

"Oh ok," said Ben.

"Bye," said Sakura, "Tomoyo, I'm just going to call a cab home, I'll talk to you tomorrow."

"Alright," said Tomoyo.

"What's wrong with her Tomoyo? I know something is wrong," said Ben.

"Oh nothing. She just really misses the new friend we made in China," said Tomoyo.

"They must have been pretty close," said Ben.

"Yeah, they were," said Tomoyo, "Well I have to go now. I have some things to tend to. I'll see you tomorrow maybe."

"Alright, I'll see you later," said Ben.

=That wasn't exactly the welcome I expected= thought Ben.

Let's go back to Syaoran in China

"She's probably going to move on and live her life they way was before she came here. I won't be there and she'll find a new guy to live her life with," said Syaoran.

"Or you could step in and rescue her from herself," said a voice.

"Huh? Meiling? Is that you?" said Syaoran.

"Yes, why are you here instead of being there?" asked Meiling.

"Why aren't you in Australia?" asked Syaoran.

"I came back to visit and get my things. I'm moving there for the rest of my schooling," said Meiling.

"I see, and where is your guy?" asked Syaoran.

"Oh Tyler? He's downstairs," said Meiling.

"Then why aren't you down their with him?" asked Syaoran.

"Because, I felt that it was more important to consol my dumb cousin," said Meiling.

"Dumb?" said Syaoran.

"Yes, dumb. I know what you're going to do. You are going to keep on loving her for years on end till you finally muster enough guts to tell her your feelings and then when you go back she'll have another guy and you'll fight but she won't take you back and stuff with happen and you'll get your happily ever after," said Meiling.

"I think someone has been reading too many romance novels," said Syaoran.

"So? They're so wonderful with happy endings and true love," said Meiling.

"Oh well, it's ok. I'll be fine. You go down to your love," said Syaoran.

"Are you going to be alright?" asked Meiling.

"Yeah, I'll be fine. You just go enjoy your visit," said Syaoran.

"I will thanks," said Meiling exiting out of his room.

"Meiling!" yelled Syaoran.

"Yes Syaoran," said Meiling coming back and opening the door.

"Would you mind if I came to Australia with you to finish my schooling as well?" asked Syaoran.

"No, not at all. Especially if it helps," said Meiling.

"Thanks. I'll ask my mother later," said Syaoran.

"Alright then. Why don't you come downstairs with me? You can meet Tyler," said Meiling.

"Sounds like a plan to me," said Syaoran smiling.

So Syaoran walked downstairs with a fake smile on his face and greeted the guests.

"Mother could I talk to you privately for a second?" asked Syaoran.

"Yes, of course," said Yelan.

So the two went to the room next door and Yelan said, "What is it Syaoran?"

"Can I got to Australia with Meiling?" asked Syaoran.

"You want to go Australia?" asked Yelan.

"Yes," said Syaoran.

"I see," said Yelan.

"Is there a problem?" asked Syaoran.

"No I was just hoping that you would go to Canada. Why is it you want to go to Australia anyways?" asked Yelan.

"I'd like to finish my schooling there," said Syaoran.

"I see," said Yelan, "Well if that is what you wish, you may go there."

"It is what I wish. Thank you mother," said Syaoran.

"Your welcome," said Yelan.

=This isn't what he wants. He just wants to forget her= thought Yelan.

"Tyler? Where in Australia do you live?" asked Syaoran.

"I live in Sydney, Australia," said Tyler.

"Oh cool," said Syaoran.

"Why do you ask?" asked Tyler.

"I'm going to do my schooling there," said Syaoran.

"Oh that's great! We'll be going to school together? Ever played 'Aussie Rules?'" asked Tyler.

"Uh no," said Syaoran.

"Oh it's great fun," said Tyler.

"I bet. My favourite sport is soccer," said Syaoran.

"Oh that's cool. We have an excellent soccer team at my school, I hope you try out for the team," said Tyler.

"I will thanks," said Syaoran.

"Umm… Syaoran I'm glad that you are my boyfriend are getting along so well," said Meiling, "But would you mind if I stole him back."

"No, not at all. In fact, I have some things to do upstairs. Yes things. Anyways, I will talk to you all later," said Syaoran.

"Alright Syaoran, talk to you later," said Meiling.

"See ya," said Syaoran going upstairs to his bedroom.

"He's suffering from a break up," said Meiling.

"I see, what happened?" asked Tyler.

"She went back home and left him with a broken heart," said Meiling, "I can't believe it happened twice."

"This happened before?" asked Tyler.

"Something similar. This girl named Whitney moved away and said horrible nasty stuff," said Meiling, "This girl that left didn't. She just left and said something about them being two people with two different destinies."

"But he believes that they share one destiny right?" asked Tyler.

"Yeah, that's right," said Meiling, "But I suppose it's not really her fault. This was so sudden her aunt all of the sudden had to go and she had to go with them."

"So many regrets of that the heart has," said Tyler.

"He'll tell her, but it won't be for years," said Meiling.

"Years? Is he that shy?" asked Tyler.

"Oh yeah," said Meiling, "Never met a more shyer guy than my cousin."

"I'm so glad you're not like him," said Tyler.

"Yes, or else I would have never gotten you," said Meiling smiling at him and he held her in his arms and kissed her.

"Sakura, I'm doing this for you. You deserve something better," said Syaoran.

Now back to Sakura

*RING RING*

"Hello?" said Sakura picking up the phone.

"Hi, this is Ben," said Ben.

"Oh hey Ben. I thought I told you I'd talk to you later," said Sakura.

"This is later, by 4 or 5 hours," said Ben.

"I was meaning as in a day or so," said Sakura.

"Oh I see," said Ben.

"What do you want?" asked Sakura.

"I wanted to tell you something," said Ben.

"What?" asked Sakura.

"I-I-I missed you a lot. And umm…I…love you!" said Ben.

"You what?!" said Sakura.

"Didn't you hear me?" asked Ben.

"Yeah, I heard you. Or at least I think I did. You just said you loved me," said Sakura.

"Yeah," said Ben.

"Oh no, not now," said Sakura.

"What?" asked Ben.

"I mean, Ben, oh no, I'm sorry. I'm taken," said Sakura.

"You are?" said Ben.

"Yes, I am," said Sakura.

"Who is it?" asked Ben.

"Syaoran Li," said Sakura.

"I see, so when were you planning on telling me this and how long has this been going on?" asked Ben.

"Why do you want to know?" asked Sakura.

"Come on, we've been friends forever, you can tell me," said Ben.

"Well it's been going on for about three or four days and I was going to tell you soon," said Sakura.

"I see," said Ben, "I have to go now."

"Alright then Ben," said Sakura, "Goodbye."

"Oh, now I feel awful. I think I might of broke his heart. That's two in one day. This is just too much," said Sakura lying down on her bed with her head buried in her pillow.

*RING RING*

"Who could that be?" said Sakura picking up the phone, "Hello?"

"Sakura are you okay?" asked a voice that Sakura knew as Tomoyos.

"Yeah, I'm fine," said Sakura.

"You miss him don't you?" asked Tomoyo.

"Yeah, I miss him a lot," said Sakura.

"Did Ben call you?" asked Tomoyo.

"Yeah," said Sakura.

"What did he say?" asked Tomoyo.

"He say, I mean he said, he loved me," said Sakura.

"But isn't that what you've always wanted?" asked Tomoyo.

"That's what I thought I always wanted. Apparently I was wrong," said Sakura.

"I see and how did you respond?" asked Tomoyo.

"I told him I was taken," said Sakura.

"Are you taken?" asked Tomoyo.

"How should I know? I told Syaoran that, that was what I was going to tell people," said Sakura.

"Sakura, phone him," said Tomoyo.

"I can't. I think I broke his heart when I left him. I broke mine too. I just started repairing it and I don't think it can take another blow," said Sakura.

"But what if he loves you too? You're giving up on love because you're using your head. You don't use you head in this kind of situation you use your heart. It won't steer you wrong," said Tomoyo, "Now tell me what your heart says."

"It says to phone him but I can't Tomoyo, I just can't," said Sakura.

"Why not?" asked Tomoyo.

"Because," said Sakura.

"Why not?" asked Tomoyo.

"Because…Because…I don't have his number," said Sakura.

"I can phone for you. I know his phone number or I could give it to you," said Tomoyo.

"Stop it right now Tomoyo. You're killing my excuses," said Sakura.

"That's the whole point," said Tomoyo.

"Please, please don't make me call him," said Sakura.

"Why not? What is wrong with calling him? You love him, he loves you," said Tomoyo.

"We don't' know that for sure," said Sakura.

"I have a feeling," said Tomoyo.

"As much as I trust your feelings, I just don't think I can yet. Maybe tomorrow," said Sakura.

"Tomorrow may be too late," said Tomoyo.

"I doubt it," said Sakura.

"Well don't say I didn't warn you," said Tomoyo.

"Tomoyo, I'm going to sleep. I'm tired and broken-hearted. Goodbye," said Sakura.

"Goodnight," said Tomoyo handing up the phone.

=I wish she would leave it at rest. It hurt enough to leave him and to call him would be more painful= thought Sakura.

Sakura yawned. It had been a tough, hard, long day for her and she was tired. She got dressed for bed and lay down on her bed and soon fell asleep.

Meanwhile in China

"Syaoran I'm leaving tomorrow to go back to Australia. Are you coming with me?" asked Meiling.

"Yes," said Syaoran, "I'm almost done packing."

"Good our plane leaves at six," said Meiling, "So get up early."

"Yeah I will," said Syaoran.

"Are you sure you're doing to right thing?" asked Meiling.

"Yeah, it'll be best to just forget about her," said Syaoran.

"Do you really believe that?" asked Meiling.

"I don't know. It's just, I can't explain," said Syaoran.

"Well if you change your mind, I won't be offended," said Meiling.

"Don't worry. I know you won't be. I doubt I'll change my mind but I'll tell you if I do," said Syaoran.

"Alright then," said Meiling, "Goodnight."

"Goodnight," said Syaoran as Meiling closed the door.

"I hate this, I just wish I could talk to someone that understood," said Syaoran lying down on his bed. Within minutes he was asleep.

Back to Canada, but we're going to see Tomoyo this time

Tomoyo was sitting on her bed. She couldn't sleep. She couldn't stop thinking about her friend and her predicament. For something reason beyond her control she knew that if Sakura waited a day she would miss her only chance for true love.

All of the sudden Eriol was in her room.

"OH MY GOSH, ERIOL WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE? HOW DID YOU DO THAT?" asked or rather yelled Tomoyo.

"Calm down and don't yell please," said Eriol.

"Fine, I'm calm, what is it you want?" asked Tomoyo.

"I just wanted to ask you a few questions. Like when you saw me in China. Why did you act like we had never met? I went along with it but I was still slightly confused," said Eriol.

"Well you were rarely in Canada. You were always off doing to something else in another part of the world. I just felt we really didn't know each other at all. You didn't know me or know how I was or who I was inside and vice versa," said Tomoyo.

"Yes, that does make sense. Well we know each other now and as for how I did that. It was magic," said Eriol.

"You can do magic as well?" asked Tomoyo.

"Yes, I can do magic in fact I am a reincarnation of the creator of them," said Eriol.

"I see," said Tomoyo.

"Yes and I need your help," said Eriol.

"What is it?" asked Tomoyo.

"You know Syaoran and Sakura," said Eriol.

"You know that I know them. In fact they've been on my mind all night," said Tomoyo.

"Yeah, well they are destined to be together," said Eriol.

"Really? I thought so. I had this feeling," said Tomoyo.

"Yes and you should always listen to your feelings. I know that you have never been wrong. In fact I believe you are having some feelings right now," said Eriol.

"Well yes. I feel that if Sakura waits till tomorrow it'll be too late," said Tomoyo.

"Yes and it's close to being to late. It is 7pm there and 3am here. Syaoran is leaving for Australia tomorrow at six am. I know that Sakura is already asleep and will probably sleep for most of the day to get used to the time change. By then it'll be too late. Because she'll dawdle and take her time and debate, should I? Should I not? And then it will too late. We need to get her to China right in time before he leaves and get her to convince him not to go," said Eriol.

"It would be easier to get Sakura to fly to Australia. She's always wanted to go there you know," said Tomoyo.

"Are you serious? This could work out. If we get her down there to Australia then they can meet and tell each other their feelings. And 100% Whitney free!" said Eriol.

"Yeah, that Whitney has been a problem. Though who knows without her Syaoran and Sakura may not have gotten as close as they did," said Tomoyo.

"True," said Eriol, "Anyways will you help me?"

"Yes, what are we going to do?" asked Tomoyo.

"Ok, here's the plan," said Eriol.

So Tomoyo and Eriol talked for hours and hour concocting the perfect plan to get them back together. They worked on times and dates and everything. The one thing they didn't account for was the appearance of Whitney and Marshall.

Author's Note: Well what do you think? What have Eriol and Tomoyo got planned and can they save Syaoran and Sakura's relationship? I guess you'll have to wait to find out.
