~*~Kazeshi: Hello everyone! Here's chapter 6 for ya people! Sakura is having a Christmas party at her house after Syaoran has awoken. Here you go people!

Disclaimer: Same as last time! I don't want to repeat it by the way! It's not yaoi okay? It's S + S (Sakura + Syaoran). By the way, I own the made-up characters that don't seem to be in other anime and shows.

Chapter 6: Sakura's Christmas Celebration! ^ - ^!

~*~*~Christmas Morning at 7:00 a.m.~*~*~

Sakura woke up suddenly after she had awoken from a nightmare. She looked at Syaoran and noticed that he has been conscious during the night, but he's sleeping peaceful. Sakura got up from the couch and she bend over to Syaoran.

'He hasn't change a bit. Only part is that he has someone else and that he's a lot softer these years then when I first met him. I only wish that Syaoran were still in love with me and not with Li-Li. Shimatta! I forgot to get Syaoran a present! I'm lucky that it's early in the morning. I'll just give something for him.'

Sakura ran upstairs and into her room. She arrived in her room and sat down on her chair in the desk. She looked through her series of CD's and it took her a while to find her own CD that she made. She finally found it and took the CD out. She decorated the cover of the CD case and signed her signature on the case. She took the CD and put it back in the case. She took out a small green bag and put the CD inside the bag. She folded the bag and tied a red ribbon after she punch-holed the bag. She took a Christmas tag and filled out the information. She tied the tag with the end of the ribbon and she took it downstairs.

Sakura went downstairs and saw that Syaoran was waking up. She quickly put her present under the Christmas tree and then she greeted Syaoran with a smile.

"Ohayoo Syaoran."

"O-*yawn*hayoo Sakura."

"Have a nice sleep?"

"Hai. For a second, I thought I was dead."

"Well, you're not, so be grateful."

"True. I got to go back to my hotel."

"Iie, stay for my Christmas party, please?"

"Hai. I'll stay then."

"Good! Here, you left this shirt before you left four years ago."

Sakura tossed Syaoran the old green shirt and shorts that were green and Syaoran looked at it.

'Sakura must have kept this as a personal gift from me those years ago. I guess she's also grateful that I was knock out unconscious by Kamiki, so she could have sleep with me. I guess I'll have to be leaving again to find more true happiness besides love.'

Syaoran changed upstairs in the bathroom and he never took off his necklace that Sakura gave him as a good-bye present.

Syaoran went back downstairs and into the kitchen, until Sakura pushed him out the kitchen.

"Syaoran, could you please go watch television or listen to the radio, I'm cooking a surprise when everyone gets here."

"All right, all right Sakura. I'll listen to something."

"Hai. I'm still cooking, so I'll let you in after I'm done." Sakura went back into the kitchen and started cooking again.

Syaoran looked at the C.D. Tomoyo gave him before she found out about Li-Li in his backpack. He popped the C.D. into the CD player and plays the songs. He felt the steady beats Sakura made in the songs and he felt the emotions flowing into his mind.

'I shouldn't have gone to Hong Kong to finish my training; there was no use for it. But in the other hand, I learned to protect myself more and I found out that Sakura was the perfect one for me, not just everyone. But it's her choice if she wants me again or left me into a different happiness. '

Syaoran's thoughts just exploded after he heard the song Sakura performed in the concert. He closed the CD player and Sakura just appeared.

"Enjoying the CD?"

"Hai, you're done with cooking?"

"Hai, but just wait till some people get here."

"Oh okay."

Syaoran walked towards the couch and Sakura sat next to him. Syaoran looked up at the ceiling and saw the mistletoe. Syaoran slowly lean towards Sakura and she did the same. They kissed with affection and then both of them pulled away.

"Gomen, I forgot that you had a fiancée."

"I forgive you Sakura---"

Someone then rang the doorbell, and Sakura got excited and went over to the door to see whom it was. She opened the door and saw Tomoyo with Eriol.

"Hello Eriol. Hello Tomoyo!"

Tomoyo said to Sakura, "Hey Sakura! Are we too early for the Christmas party?"

"No, not really. I'm waiting for everyone else, so yeah."

Eriol said, "Oh, all right! Come on Syaoran, I gotta talk to you about something."

"All right Eriol. See you later Sakura!" Syaoran said while exiting the door with Eriol and they hang out at the park nearby.

"Do you still love Sakura, Syaoran?"

"Yeah, but I'm letting her choose if she want to or not."

"I never heard anyone do something like that."

"Why do you say that?"

"Usually boys make girls become their lover, not really letting the girls choose."

"Do you do that Eriol?"

That shocked Eriol, because Syaoran would know the answer already. "You know I don't!"

"I know that Eriol, but you could feel different. I'm just testing you."

"Oh, don't do that again, please!"

"All right, all right!"

Syaoran and Eriol chatted more and then they went back to Sakura's house. They knocked on the door and saw Sakura dressed in a totally different clothe.

Sakura invited them back in the house and Tomoyo came and took Eriol away and danced with him. Sakura said to Syaoran, "How was your four years in Hong Kong?"

Syaoran was surprised that she finally asked that question, but he didn't want to say too much information. He ended up saying:

"It was rough. I got a lot of bruises and I bled almost every training sessions. I was going to email you one day, but the training exhausted me and I couldn't find time to write you emails, sent a letter, nor call you. Later on like in a year, they cut off the Internet cable and my sisters or my parents were always using the phone cable. Sometimes I wished that my parents would just let me do my own personal stuff, but not all the time. By the way, I'm heard about what happened to Touya and her tousan."

"It's okay really Syaoran, don't remind a lot about them, okay?"

"All right. Come on, we better go in the living room."

"Oh, what happened to Li-Li?"

Syaoran was going to make an excuse that could kind of explain that she's not his fiancée and that she's with someone else. "She couldn't make it to the party. She was quite busy ever since she arrived here in Japan."

"Oh okay."

Sakura walked into the living room and found someone that comforted her during the years Syaoran left.

"Hello Katsumoto. Hajimemashite Katsumoto?"

"Genki desu. You?"

"Same here."

Syaoran came into the living room and saw that Sakura was talking with another guy. Syaoran walked towards Sakura and the guy and he interrupted their talk.

"Hi Sakura, who's this?"

Sakura was nervous at her words, "This is Katsumoto. He was comforting me during my depressions while you were gone. He thinks that I should be his fiancée."

Syaoran was surprised, "Oh. You just do anything that makes you happy. I think that I got to go back. Oh, before I forget, I have a Christmas present for you." Syaoran took out the box that was in his backpack and gave it to Sakura. "Remember, your happiness counts, not other people's to you. Don't do things that people thinks that's the best for you. You do what you want."

Sakura was surprised and suddenly said, "Wait Syaoran, I always have a gift for you." Sakura took the present from under the Christmas tree and gave it to Syaoran.

"Arigatoo gozaimasu Sakura. Don't open mine until the end of the presents you get, all right?"

"Okay Syaoran."

They walked to the door and Syaoran said to Sakura, "Sayonara Sakura." Syaoran left before Sakura asked why he said "Sayonara."

'I guess I'll never know until I open his present. But I got to keep my promise to Syaoran.'

Sakura closed the door and continued her party.

~*~*~Meanwhile~*~*~

Syaoran went into his hotel room and packed all of his things. He shed few tears that have all of his regrets about his life.

'It's for the best that she loves someone else. I guess confessions don't last long if the person doesn't see the same person for a long time. I guess it's out to Kyoto for me, no use for me to stay here in Tokyo, since Sakura loves someone else now. I'll just travel and search for my own happiness, even though I HAD one. Lil even has a new lover now. She's very lucky that her lover is a lot better than me.'

Syaoran left the hotel room and went down the lobby to return his keys to his room. He sat down on the bench for a little while to open his gift from Sakura. After he unwrapped the gift, he found Sakura's second album, the one Tomoyo was talking about. He put it back in the bag and he begins walking out the hotel. He took a last look at Tokyo and left to go to the direction of Kyoto.

~*~*~The song "Meteor Garden Theme" played as Syaoran traveled to Kyoto~*~*~

~*~*~(If you want the song, just email me at AnimeGoddess73@amuro.net and I'll send it to you, but it has to be an attachment for me to send it ^ - ^! Anyway, back to the story.)~*~*~

~*~*~After Sakura's Christmas party finished and opened almost all her gifts~*~*~

Sakura was by herself and the only present left for her to open was Syaoran's. She opened the box and found a note on top of something. She took the note off and saw a very cute pink and white rabbit. She petted the stuff animal and opened up the note. She read through every word and was touched by Syaoran's word when he said that she's perfect the way she is.

~*~*~Flashback four years ago~*~*~

Syaoran got up and found that Sakura have already woken up and he smell pancakes. He changed into his clothes and got his suitcases ready to go. He went downstairs and into the kitchen. He saw flying pancakes and he caught the pancakes with his plate that came flying.

"Darn it! Why am I so clumsy?"

"Don't say you're clumsy Sakura. You're perfect the way you are. Don't change that."

~*~*~End flashback~*~*~

"Syaoran's the only one that ever said that I'm perfect the way I am. He even told me that I should pick my own happiness and not do what people said might be the best for me. Wait the minute!"

Sakura read over the letter and it brought tears in her eyes.

"Syaoran is---- I told him about Katsumoto, and he must felt hurt that I might marry Katsumoto instead of him. I want to find him, but I don't even know where he is. I don't think anyone knows!"

Sakura ran towards the couch and she weep on the cushion.

"I did it again! I hurt the person I love the most and I broke half of my promise. He's leaving again because of Katsumoto. But Syaoran broke his promise too! He had a girlfriend and that disappointed me. I got to find him and asked him about that!"

Sakura stopped weeping and got a coat to try finding Syaoran.

~*~*~Two hours later~*~*~

Sakura looked everywhere in Tokyo and didn't find any trail of Syaoran.

"I guess he's gone for good--- I finally realize that I'm only hurting my love ones and myself. I think he's as hurt as I am. What am I going to do?!"
