Nanny Sakura
Chapter Eighteen: Cluing In
He just couldn't believe it. All of the times they had spent together, times they had argued, times that the signs were right there, but he misread them all. He just sat there not knowing what to say or do. It wasn't until Meiling was calling out his name repeatedly and shaking him violently did he start to go crazy.
"Syaoran! Syaoran answer me! Snap out of it!" Meiling yelled in his face while shaking him hard by the shoulders.
"She's leaving! Japan! Sakura!" He exclaimed as he shot up from his spot and dashed upstairs to get changed quickly so he could move faster.
"What?!" Meiling screamed. Syaoran thrust her the letter while being halfway up the stairs. Meiling's ruby eyes skimmed through it until she reached the end. She blinked at the letter, then at him, the letter, then at him. "Go stop her!"
"Why do you think I changed?" Syaoran screamed.
"Wait. W-wait a second. She said soon, so it doesn't mean today. Sit your as down," Meiling commanded. He could tell she was upset, but had no idea why, but didn't want to anger her any further so, he did as he was told.
"Why? I have to go stop her!" Syaoran argued.
"Dear cousin of mine. Do you remember what you said to Sakura-chan yesterday?" Meiling asked calmly. Syaoran nodded his head shamefully. "Did you mean it?" He shook his head. "Well she doesn't know that!"
"What can I do? She hates me. She can't even stand to be in the same country as me. She's moving all the way back to Japan! I understood the letter of resignation, and I still would have asked for her to come back, by out of the country!" Syaoran exclaimed as he slumped deeper in the sofa sighing.
"Alright. Let me think. You've dug yourself into a deep hole cousin. Let's see. Well, you could explain to her how much the Elders and Auntie Yelan wanted you to have the cards, but when you didn't they were disappointed. Then you got jealous," Meiling began.
"I was not-" Syaoran began.
"Shut up. I know you were. Then you can tell her how much that hurt your pride. Then she'll come to terms how much you wanted the cards," Meiling said nodding to herself.
"Then what? That's just how I felt when I found out that I couldn't have the cards. It's not like she'll even care. How does that help me?" Syaoran questioned rather confused.
"It will help you, trust me. You said you hated her remember? Well anyways, next, you say that anything you said last night you didn't mean. It was just all out rage and you want her to stay. Did you mean anything you said last night though?" Meiling asked him.
"Of course not. I hate to admit it but you were right. I hate it when you're right. But you were; I do love her. More than she'll ever know," Syaoran said.
"I know. I knew from day one. Then if she says she can't take it anymore... this is what you do," Meiling said as she neared her cousin and whispered the rest in his ear. Now and then his eyes would go wide, or he paled looking as though he saw a ghost. But then he remembered who this was for. Sakura. It made it all worthwhile.
~*~
"I think it's all for the best," Sakura said playing with her hands. She had just told Eriol and Tomoyo she was leaving for Japan in 2 days.
"Sakura-chan, please stay. I'm sure he didn't mean a word he said to you yesterday," Tomoyo said.
"Did you see his face Tomoyo-chan? Usually he has a cold mask on, but when I look into his eyes, I see the warmth I usually see. But, when I looked into his eyes this time, I saw hate. He hates me," Sakura said sobbing.
"Sakura-chan, maybe you should just think things over. I wasn't supposed to tell you yet, but your father, Kero and Yue are coming today. I think Touya is coming back from the visit with them. Just stay and then when they leave which is also within 2 days, leave with them. If you change your mind, which we hope you do, then stay with us," Eriol suggested. Sakura thought about it for a moment before nodding her head. They gave her a warm smile, which she returned with a small one. She headed back up the stairs to her room to do what she had been doing a lot of lately. Cry.
"Things are moving a little too fast. She's almost free," Eriol said to Tomoyo.
"But things look like they could only get worse," Tomoyo said sighing.
"I know. But Fujitaka and the guardians will come soon. Once Touya is here, he'll be able to help Sakura also. Emotionally. That's her big brother, so he'll be able to help her a lot more. Even though I'm LIKE a brother, I'm not her brother, so it's different," Eriol explained. Tomoyo nodded in understanding.
"I think I'll get some sleep. I didn't get much last night," Tomoyo said as she got up and went up the stairs also. Eriol was left alone with his thoughts.
'What are you doing now descendant? What are you and your cousin planning?' Eriol thought to himself while sitting on the couch staring at nothing.
"Why do things always have to be like this for her Kami-sama?" Tomoyo whispered to herself as she sat on the top step, feeling and knowing what her friend was going through. She let a single tear fall as she got up sighing and went into her room.
~*A few hours later*~
-Ding Dong-
"Kaijuu," Touya said as Sakura answered the door. Sakura just smiled sadly and hugged him.
"Hello onii-san," Sakura whispered to him. Touya was now worried. He didn't even get a tap in the head.
"Hello Sakura," Fujitaka greeted her. She smiled just like before and gave him a hug also. The same act followed with Yukito, and once they were in the house, Yue and Kero.
"Sakura-chan! How have you been? I've missed you so much! Do you have pudding?" Kero asked all at once. She gave the same smile and shook her head.
"I'm still tired. I'll be in my room," Sakura said. Everyone looked at her until she was gone. They then looked expectantly at Eriol and Tomoyo who both sighed as they brought out tea.
"Sit down, this might take a while," Eriol said as Tomoyo handed out the tea. They both took turns about how Syaoran and Sakura had met and how their relationship had developed. But Eriol told all of the prophecy. They sat in silence for a while sipping their tea until all of the information was processed.
"I'll kill that Chinese gaki!" Touya finally shouted as everyone sweat dropped.
"I'll help!" Kero shouted also. 'No one hurts my Mistress!'
"Now calm down you two," Fujitaka said to them. "The. Chinese gaki as you two put it, doesn't understand the entire situation fully. Neither do we, we don't know his part of it. Only Sakura knows all parts. So only would understand it all. Now, about this whole prophecy, Eriol, how can we help?"
"Well, you can lend me some of your magic Kinomoto-san, and Touya-san can help Sakura heal emotionally like an older brother would. Yue and Kero will help protect her during the fight of course. It could be coming any day now, so Sakura must be ready," Eriol said as he explained all of their roles. "But remember Sakura is not to know of the prophecy."
"I'll go help my sister now. Then, I'll kill the Chinese gaki later," Touya said as he got up and went to her room. He knocked on the door twice until he heard a faint 'come in'.
"Hey kaijuu, what's the matter?" Touya asked his sister sitting beside her as she sat up also.
"It's a long story. But if you heard it, you'd probably end up calling him. the Chinese gaki," Sakura said giggling softly.
"Really? Well, from what I heard from Hiiragizawa-san, both of them, you're right," Touya said pushing his sister ever so slightly.
"Mou Touya, some things will never change," Sakura said pushing him back. Then stomping on both feet.
"Itai! What was that for?" Touya cried out in pain.
"You called me a kaijuu twice," Sakura replied simply before he got serious.
"That's fine then, but Sakura. I sense something coming. I think you should start your training again," Touya suggested. Sakura smiled sincerely and nodded.
"It's good to have you back Onii-san," Sakura said to him giving him a tight hug.
"I'm glad to be back. And don't worry I'll kill the Chinese gaki later," Touya said smirking as Sakura hit him in the back playfully as they both laughed. "Now where the hell is my room? This place is so damn big!"
"Down the hall Onii-san. Get your stuff, I'll show it to you," Sakura said as she slowly walked down the hall until Touya caught up with her with his things. He would be staying here with his sister as long as she needed him.
"It's good that she's at least a little back to normal," Tomoyo commented looking at the two pushing each other while walking down the hallway.
"See, she just needed her family. And I'm glad Touya hinted her to start her training again. But that will not be enough. I hope she realizes it in time," Eriol said to Tomoyo quietly as he showed everyone their respective rooms. Sakura had made a special place in her desk drawer for Kero like she did years ago in Japan.

"Are you sure this will work Meiling?" Syaoran asked, still quite unsure of the plan Meiling had told him all about.
"I'm positive! All of Li Meiling's plans work out! Do not question me cousin!" Meiling said to him waving a finger in his face. He smirked as he got up and went to his room.
"I'm just wondering if I can put aside my pride for the one person I love most," Syaoran said to himself. "I hope I can for you Ying Fa. I really do."
