Chapter Twenty-Two:

The next few days weren't happy ones. Sakura was always quiet and Touya was just plain out angry. Eriol and Tomoyo were also so remorseful, knowing what the two were going through, they had known Fujitaka for many years, ever since elementary school. Kero was trying to be there for everyone, especially Sakura. Syaoran had tried so many times to talk to her. But whenever they would make eye contact, Sakura would give him an apologetic look and looked away, tears in her eyes. Sakura had recently always wore a dark look now, forgetting the other side of her even existed. She was always found practicing her magic, and it seemed to enveloping her within its power. The day after Fujitaka's death, they had him buried in a respectful cemetery, which many attended. It was now about a week after the funeral, and things were still quiet around. Sakura now sat on her bed, thinking, while staring at nothing in particular, not noticing the tears that were stained on her cheeks.

"Sakura?" Tomoyo asked as she knocked on the door.

"Come in," Sakura whispered.

"Sakura-chan, there's someone who wished to speak to you. You should really talk to him," Tomoyo said as she walked in.

"Tomoyo, I don't know if I can handle this right now," Sakura said finally noticing the tears and wiping them away.

"Please Sakura, you haven't been the same ever since, and that's understandable, but she's going to come back, and you won't be able to fight in this state. Please Sakura, for me?" Tomoyo pleaded. Sakura held her gaze at her friend for a moment before sighing.

"Alright. Tell him whoever he is I'll meet him in the gardens in a few minutes," Sakura said getting off of her bed. Tomoyo nodded happily, and walked out with a bounce in her step. The first sign of happiness they had seen since the tragic event.

Sakura went to the washroom and washed her face and combed her hair. She then went to her wardrobe and got out a pair of denim jeans and a light pink t-shirt she had gotten for her birthday last year. She put on some running shoes and grabbed a sweater just in case. It was also a light pink and decided to pull in on, shoving her hands in the front pockets where she placed the cards, just in case she couldn't reach them properly with her mind. She still had her star key around her neck. She was walking towards the garden, but it was the person that was there that made her stop in her tracks. There was the amber eyed, chestnut haired man, sitting on the hard, cold cement bench where they usually spoke about things that were on their minds.

'Oh my god. I've been trying to avoid him for the longest time now. Ugh! Don't be such a weakling Sakura, you're going to have to face him eventually,' Sakura thought to herself as she continued to walk. Once she reached the bench she sat and he looked up. His eyes had a worried look held within them and you could tell he wasn't sleeping much lately.

"Hey," Sakura murmured softly.

"Hi," He said back simply, but you could tell he was relieved that he was talking to her finally.

"So. what did you want to talk to me about?" Sakura said after a few moments of silence.

"Um. there are a few things actually. As I've said before, I'm really sorry about your dad," Syaoran whispered. Sakura shut eyes tightly for a moment and nodded, urging for him to continue.

"Thank-you, and I know," Sakura whispered as she opened her eyes and the tears fell. Syaoran drew her into a hug as she cried, hugging him back for the first time in a long while. They sat there in each others arms for a few moments after she finished crying until Syaoran cleared his throat and continued.

"I'm glad you're talking to me again," Syaoran said smiling slightly. Sakura did the same thing looking up at him. "Well the other thing is about what I was going to say to you in the café before the idiotic woman, if that's what you could call her, interrupted us," Syaoran continued.

"Oh yeah. You were about to say something but I didn't hear the last part too well because of the explosion," Sakura explained remembering the event.

"Well, we've known each other for a while now. I've felt things that I've never felt with people before when I'm with you. Not even my ex-wife. So, I'm sure this is the real thing now. This isn't how I planned it, but I don't want any further interruptions before I never have the chance to tell you," Syaoran explained.

'Oh my god! He isn't going to is he? No way! He doesn't even think of me that way right? OMG! He does! What the hell do I say?! You just had to be so dense before didn't you Sakura? Well OPEN UP YOUR EYES! HE"S GOING TO TELL YOU!' Sakura thought desperately in her mind.
Am I really this mean?
Should I? Or shouldn't I? Hm.
Naw. I may be mean, but not that mean. I'll continue! ^^

"I love you Sakura, aishiteru," Syaoran whispered to her, waiting for her response. He had no idea what was happening because he was looking the other way. He waited for his reply, but got none. Silence is what remained. After a minute or so, he looked at her and saw.
