CHAPTER EIGHT:

***From previous chapter***

Tomoyo watched as the plane rose with Sakura in it into the clear blue sky. She was wearing the green dress Tomoyo had finished. Sakura smiled down and Japan and hoped things would be okay.

Syaoran Li.

*** The next chapter unravels. Drum roll please! ***

Tomoyo found herself worrying, her hand shaking slightly as she clutched her bag in her hands. She was worried about Sakura already. Sakura had insisted that she was fine and that there was no need for her to come along. It was Meiling who convinced Tomoyo in the end though. Meiling promised that she would take care of Sakura and she knew Meiling would live up to her promise, but.. She still worried.

Eriol waited patiently behind the raven-haired girl. He knew she was worried for her best friend and he was just as well. Tomoyo turned after a while and her face opened a smile just for him. Eriol smiled back and offered his arm. Tomoyo's smile grew and she linked arms with him, leaning her head on his shoulder comfortably. The two walked off, farther and farther away from the airport.

"Miss, do you need anything?" A pretty flight attendant asked her. Sakura turned and smiled lightly.

"A can of Sprite and a bag of peanuts please." She answered. She didn't want anything but the Sprite, but she knew Kero would want some after he woke up from his sleep in her bag.

The flight attendant gave her the food and left to serve another customer. Sakura sighed and leaned in the seat. It was because of Tomoyo's mother did she get a seat in the first class. Tomoyo insisted that she need privacy and security since she could not come along. Sakura smiled slightly at the thought of her. She was such the best friend and everything she did owed it all to her.

"Thank you, Tomoyo," She whispered as she watched Japan disappear as the plane flew up into the sky.

Hong Kong.

Syaoran Li.

Things would be better, wouldn't they?

*** In Hong Kong***

Meiling knew about Sakura's arrival and she kept it secret away from anyone in her family, especially Syaoran. She had told Wei though, because he wanted the two to be happy. She couldn't predict Syaoran's reaction though because she didn't know everything about him now. Before the accident, she could predict his every move towards Sakura, but now things were totally different.

She had given Sakura her cell phone number and the place of the hotel where she thought would be best. Meiling sighed and crossed her fingers. She hoped things would turn out okay. Maybe a talk to Syaoran before Sakura came would help her plan things out.

He was in his room talking to his sisters, all four of them. Meiling normally would giggle at the sight of Syaoran's four sisters pestering him and Syaoran would beg with his eyes to help him get out of the situation, but today she wanted to talk to Syaoran right now.

"Fuutie, could you guys get out? Me and Xiao Lang need to talk." Meiling asked to the oldest sister. Immediately their faces pouted.

"Oh, come on Meiling. We need to know the details of our little sweet brother's phone call with his dear new girlfriend!" Sheifa spoke up wheedling.

"Sheifa." Meiling's tone dropped. "I need to speak to Xiao Lang now." She replied evenly. Sheifa sighed and nodded. The four sisters untangled themselves from Syaoran and walked out the room. Meiling shut the door after them.

"Thanks, Meiling. I didn't even have to beg with my eyes." He teased. Meiling gave him a half grin and sat down on his neatly made bed.

"You really wanted to talk." He spoke up a while later. Meiling nodded.

"Hai." She answered. Talking in Japanese meant certain advantages like no one would be able to eavesdrop on their conversation. "Do you remember our talk about Sakura yesterday?"

"Hai. Demo, I don't really recall much." Syaoran's tone was almost apologetic.

"Are you sure? Do you really not remember anything at all?"

"I don't know. I've been thinking about it since yesterday Meiling. The name sounds familiar and if she was both yours and Tomoyo's best friend, logically I should remember her and I might even was a friend of hers, but I don't. And the only memory of the cloth was that I had it once in.. fourth grade." Syaoran confessed, his tone as confused as his words. Meiling sighed.

"Fourth grade was the year you went to Japan. Tell me everything you know about Japan, Syaoran." Meiling spoke quietly. Syaoran nodded and tried to think back.

***In Syaoran mind. His POV***

I took myself back ten years when I arrived in Tomoeda, Japan. I remember that I was there to capture the Clow cards that someone had released. Mother said it would increase the power of the Li Clan and I was proud to be on this mission for it proved my strength and capabilities. Then why had I lost the cards to the card mistress? Meiling had said the card mistress was that girl Kinomoto Sakura. I knew her then. I must have if I fought cards with her.. I must have. Think, Syaoran. Think.

A cloud buzzed over me and I couldn't think for a while. Things where hazy and I couldn't quite picture out the things I was seeing in my memory. When I could see again, I forgot what I was looking for. Things were confusing. I remember everything else afterwards though: Meiling's arrival, her leaving, my failure of receiving the Clow Cards in battle with Yue. Cerberus, the sun guardian was a stuffed animal once, wasn't he? Was he?

I could picture out of all my friends in Japan, yet somehow someone was missing from the picture. I felt empty. Maybe Meiling would know more.

I opened my eyes and found Meiling's ruby red eyes staring at me focused.

"Anything, Syaoran?" She immediately asked.

"Anything what, Meiling?" I replied confused. What had she told me to find in my memory?

"Li Xiao Lang, do not kid around." Meiling's tone was serious and more so when she said my whole name, yet I did not know what I had done to cause it.

"Meiling, I really don't know. What was I supposed to find in my memories?" I asked. Meiling sighed and looked at me in the eyes for what seemed like a century. Finally she pulled away.

"You really don't remember anything?" Meiling asked meekly. "I just told you around ten minutes ago."

"I remember you told me to tell you everything about I knew about Japan but what in Japan I do not remember." I answered honestly and Meiling nodded her head silently.

"Sakura, you baka." She yelled. Not silent and calm at all.

"Sakura.." My lips formed the words. Then everything came back. "Meiling," I said quickly. Meiling must of her the urgency in my voice for she quickly turned her full attention to me. I remembered everything that I saw in my memory, the hazy cloud covering what I was to see. I opened my mouth to speak.

Last thing I remembered was Meiling rushing over to my side frantically calling out my name in Chinese before darkness filled me and I closed my eyes. I was losing grip of myself. Darkness.. I could see nothing..

A pink petal floated down through darkness. Pink. Wait. a flower petal? What flower was that? Darkness swirled and the petal disappeared slowly.

Ying Fa.

Sakura.

***Airport. Sakura's POV***

I stepped out into the brisk air and I shuddered involuntary. The weather wasn't cold, but I worried about what was to come. Kero popped his head out of his bag.

"Hong Kong. It hasn't changed a bit." He commented.

"Kero! You said you'd stay in the bag until I'm alone!" I complained. Kero grinned sheepishly and stuck his head back in the bag.

"Could I at least have something to eat?" his voice came from inside. I groaned, but I slid a package of chips inside. "Thanks." I smiled and took out the map Meiling had described. There were instructions in how to get to the hotel.

"Hua Shin Hotel." I managed to say calmly in Chinese. Meiling had tutored me Chinese since seventh grade because I was interested and I wanted to learn more about their culture. Syaoran's culture. I wanted to know his background. It was so bittersweet. Why does everything have to do with Syaoran? I knew the answer, but I was unsure of the result. I loved Syaoran. but now I was unsure of his affections.

The yellow taxi stopped at a large four-star hotel. Meiling had told me to call her so she could check in for me, but I wanted to test my Chinese levels. With a little difficulty, I managed to get a room and ask them to get my luggage into my room. I smiled with a little pride in myself.

Kero popped himself out from his bag, tossing the empty bag of chips into a trashcan. "In!" he crowed. "Did you see that Sakura?" He asked. I smiled.

"Hai, Kero. Now be quiet, I need to call Meiling." Kero nodded and was content sitting by the window and watching the speeding cars outside.

"Wey?" A Chinese voice answered. (A/N: "Wey?" means "Hello?" or in Japanese "Moshi, moshi?")

"Meiling, it's me Sakura." I answered in Chinese.

Light laughter came from the phone. "You've been polishing on your Chinese, Sakura." Meiling answered in Japanese, knowing it would be easier for me. I thanked her silently. "You've checked in?"

"Hai." I replied.

"How was it?"

"Not that bad. I got a little confused, but in the end I got a room. So, how is Syaoran?" I asked timidly. I cringed, waiting for the answer. I hardly noticed that Kero had left his seat by the window and had come to sit next to me.

"He's better, Sakura." Meiling answered unsure.

"Meiling," I said. Meiling sighed.

"I've been asking him to remember you and everything. We've had some fights because he wouldn't remember you and everything, but after a while, we got back together and talked a lot, especially about you. He's confused, Sakura. He knows he should know you but he can't remember." Meiling answered, her voice heavy with sorrow. My heart throbbed with pain. I couldn't stand not being in his memory. I needed to hear his voice. I needed to see my reflection in his amber eyes. I needed him.

"Sakura? Are you okay?" Meiling's voice cut through my thoughts. I just nodded numbly. Baka me, I thought. She couldn't see me.

But before I could say something, Meiling spoke up. "Sakura, I'm coming over. There are things I need to explain in person and I can't see how you really are over a phone. What room are you in?"

"Oh, Meiling-Chan." I said thankfully. "Arigato. I'm in room 105."

"Hey, no worries, okay? I'm your tomodachi, aren't I? What are friends for?" Meiling's happy voice cheered me up a bit. "I'll be there in fifteen minutes, don't go anywhere before that."

"Hai!" I answered. I could almost picture Meiling's smile as I said that. Things would be okay after all. I smiled. Things would be okay.

***At the Li's house/ Meiling's room ***

Meiling smiled sadly at the phone. Things were difficult. Talking to Sakura would clear things up for her, but the truth would hurt. It would hurt her more than it had hurt her because she loved Syaoran so much. She packed a few things in her backpack before telling Wei that she would be visiting Sakura in the hotel. She had only told Wei that Sakura would be coming. He wanted the best for the two as well. He knew how close the two had been and had known Sakura since she was in fourth grade as well.

Meiling stopped by Syaoran's room and knocked before entering. He was sleeping in his bed peacefully. She smiled sorrowfully. Her eyes watered a bit when she saw the blue handkerchief on the table near his bed. It was not folded, which meant Syaoran had been thinking, wondering about Sakura. It hurt him to not who she was. but hurt him in a way of friendship. Meiling sighed softly.

She sat on the taxi and headed for the hotel Sakura was staying in.

Syaoran woke up briefly and saw that the blue handkerchief was neatly folded and a note was on top of it. Focusing his eyes, it read "Xiao Lang, I'm visiting a friend for a few days. Try not to miss me too much and try your best in remembering Sakura. Meiling." Syaoran smiled weakly and fell back into deep slumber.

As Meiling got out from the taxi, she stared up at the hotel. How was she supposed to tell Sakura that Syaoran had blacked out somehow while trying to remember her?
