CHAPTER TWO: Worried Eyes of Friendship
_____________________________________________________________________ "Moshi moshi?" She said breathlessly. Colored drain from the Chinese girl's face. "What do you mean-," She started again. Meiling's ruby eyes widened. "No, not Syaoran.." Her voice trailed off. Running out, Meiling didn't bother to put the phone back on the cradle. Voices from the other end could be heard in Chinese.
Meiling ran blindly, tears pattering gently on the ground. Stop this foolishness, Meiling. You're a strong girl aren't you? She commanded herself to get a grip on the situation. Meiling nodded, shaking her tears away. She HAD to be strong.after all. the news would be most shattering to.. The one Syaoran cared most.Sakura. Her eyes blurred up again. There was no way she could face Sakura and tell her of the news. No way, but she knew she had to tell her. One way or the other. Tomoyo, Meiling thought. Tomoyo was the only one who could break the news to Sakura. Drying her tears she ran quickly for her friend's house.
"Meiling? Are you okay?" Tomoyo's voice asked softly as she opened the door and quickly ushered her friend inside. Seeing her kindness Meiling broke into tears again. It was quite a while before she finished her story and when she did, even Tomoyo was deathly pale.
"Are.. Are you positive Meiling?" Her voice came weakly. The Chinese girl nodded her head, though not wanting to admit.
"Hai. Wei was the one who told me; he would never lie." Tomoyo nodded and looked out the window, her eyes distant and worried.
"Just Sakura?" Tomoyo asked. Meiling nodded again.
"Yes. Just Sakura. It almost seems like the Gods did it on purpose, but it just so happens to be so. The doctors have confirmed this too. No other damage came to him." The Chinese girl recalled the conversation on the phone. Her eyes saddened at the news.
"What will we tell Sakura?" Tomoyo asked gently, breaking the silence. She had asked the question Meiling was so worried about. Meiling met the other girl's amethyst eyes that shone with concern for their friend. Meiling sighed and shook her head.
"I don't know." The girls locked glances again. Things were going to be difficult and none of them wanted to see the pain that would reflect in those clear emerald eyes of their friend.
*** IN HONG KONG***
"Syaoran!" A feminine voice called out happily. A tall handsome man with messy auburn hair and deep amber eyes turned. A joyful teenager his age with long shimmering blond hair and blue eyes greeted him. She was tall and her clothes consisting of a tight blue spaghetti and a white skirt fit her perfectly.
"Did you wait really long?" She asked. Syaoran smiled and shook his head.
"Of course not, Kali." The girl smiled at his answer and linked her arm with his.
She rested her head on his broad shoulder. "I'm so glad that you weren't hurt in the accident the other day," Syaoran smiled and put an arm around the Kali's shoulder.
"So am I. If it weren't for you, I'd never be alive right now and I'd especially never would have met you," Syaoran replied with kindness. Kali smiled up into his amber eyes, yet there was a trace of secretiveness. She nodded and slid a hand into her pocket and fingered a fine flower pendant made of sliver. Running her finger over it, she clasped it in her hand and reminded herself to get rid of it later.
"So, where do you want to go today? After all, it is our first date." Syaoran's voice jarred Kali back into reality. The blond smiled. Yes, it was their first date. She smirked to herself. She had won after all.
"Anywhere will be fine with me as long as I'm with you." The Chinese boy chuckled lightly and nodded.
***BACK IN JAPAN***
Tomoyo and Meiling pondered, wondering how to break the news to Sakura. It would definitely hurt her and they both hated to see her hurt. It was horrible when Syaoran decided to leave for Hong Kong. Sakura was all closed and distant from them until Syaoran told her that he was all that he wanted and wanted her to wait for him. It was then Sakura opened up again and slowly healed over constant telephone calls to each other. This time, there would be no promises, no constant phone calls to help Sakura. Suddenly the phone rang sharply, breaking the deep thoughts the girls were in. Tomoyo picked it up gently and spoke. "Moshi moshi?"
A pause as Tomoyo heard what was being told on the other end. Meiling waiting patiently, her eyes wandering to a dress Tomoyo was making for Sakura. Fingering the soft green cloth, she smiled how nice it would look on Sakura. It would make her emerald eyes shine. Emerald. Syaoran's favorite color.. Meiling shook her head and looked back to Tomoyo who was finishing her phone call.
"Gomen," Tomoyo said after she hung up. "It was Eriol. I told him that I would call him later tonight, but apparently I forgot due to all that's happening. He's coming over soon, you don't mind do you?"
Meiling shook her head. "Iie. Eriol's as much as a friend as Sakura is. Maybe he can think of a way to break the news to Sakura to make it hurt less."
"I hope." Tomoyo replied. "Because it's going to hurt so much Meiling. I can't bear to see her like a lifeless shell again." Meiling nodded remembering. It was scary how suddenly Sakura, usually all bubbly and happy would go so sad. It was like turning off a light bulb in a click. She, definitely, did not want it to happen again.
Eriol came a while later, and by the way his hair was messy, the girls could tell he came his quickest here. Meiling waited for the boy to settle down by Tomoyo before telling the accident again. His face was sad and indescribable when she ended.
"It sounds almost impossible to believe. Sakura's not going to believe this, clearly you all know. She'll probably call again and again and might even go to Hong Kong, but she's going to get heartbroken many times." Eriol stated. Tomoyo nodded, her eyes filled with fresh tears. Eriol hugged her to him.
"But, I think if we don't tell her, she's going to hurt even more." Meiling countered. Eriol nodded.
"I agree. Tomoyo?" He asked gently. Tomoyo unfolded herself from his warm clutch and sniffled.
"Hai. Hai, I agree. But I don't want to see Sakura like that again," She complained.
"Neither do we, Tomoyo-chan. But Sakura has to know. She'll just end up being more hurt than she will be, like Meiling said. We just need a way to tell her." Her boyfriend answered reasonably. Tomoyo looked up into his sad blue eyes and nodded, trying to stop her tears. "We should be thankful Syaoran's still alive. I'm sure Sakura would be much more heartbroken if he were."
"Hai." Meiling agreed. "Who shall tell Sakura? I think we should tell her tonight or tomorrow at the latest. She needs time to think it over."
"We should all tell Sakura. She needs out support just as we need hers. I want us all to be for her. Please?" Tomoyo asked. She didn't even have to say please. Her friends, without saying so, had already agreed.
"Tonight then, dear Tomoyo. She needs to spend the night here, with you and Meiling." Eriol said lightly, standing up, giving Tomoyo a light kiss on the cheek. He brushed her tears away gently.
"Let me go, Tomoyo. I have things to do before dark is down. Sakura will be fine with you and Meiling." Tomoyo breathed in a deep breath and nodded. He nodded politely to Meiling. "You're a strong friend, Meiling. I don't know what we'd do without you." With that he hugged her gently and left. (A/N: Imagine that! Eriol hugging Meiling! Tee hee hee.)
Silence filled the room after Eriol left. Tomoyo and Meiling both turned, their eyes locked and slowly turned to the phone. Meiling nodded supportively to her friend and Tomoyo picked up the phone and dialed Sakura's number.
"Moshi moshi!" A bright energetic voice filled the speaker. Tomoyo took a deep breath and talked.
"Sakura! It's me, Tomoyo." She greeted, trying to put a cheer into her voice.
"Tomoyo!" Sakura answered cheerfully.
"Sakura, Meiling's at my house right now and we were wondering if you'd like to come and sleepover." Tomoyo asked. Squeals of delight could be heard on the other end. Tomoyo's face saddened at what she would have to say. Meiling patted her friend in comfort.
"Wait. Let me ask dad." Sakura said quickly. Shouts could be heard and Sakura returned with joy and happiness. "I can! I'll be right over in around thirty minutes okay? Say hi to Meiling. Oh, and Kero's coming okay?"
Tomoyo half smiled and nodded. "Hai."
"Jan ne!"
"Ja." Tomoyo replied and hung up the phone gently. Meiling sighed.
"She sounds so happy." The Chinese girl stated. "I hope she can recover through this." Tomoyo nodded, her eyes said with misery. Meiling smiled sadly and pulled her friend into a tight hug. They stayed like that for a while, waiting for Sakura's arrival. Waiting.
