Goodbye, my love

Sara: I was just thinking, why I am so stupid! My favourite character is Yue! Why didn't I make him fall in love to him???!!!! Anyways, what needs to be done is NEARLY done. Thanks for those who'd been reviewing (only Laura aka Zidane aka Kita). So enjoy!

-------------------------------------------

Sakura inhale deeply in the garden. There was too much to think about. Those dreams, that she is having, what does that have a link to Sara's warning? And Syouron. What is he hiding?

The garden helped her think. It was too stressful. Even for Mistress of the cards. She thought again and again. She was confused because of the complex problem she is going through.

She thought of Sierra, and her hatred of her. She blamed herself, after all Sierra was right. She cannot defend herself without the cards. No training, no martial art no nothing. She was weaker than people really thought. She was beginning to wonder if she really is worthy of the cards.

Sakura heard clamping and plate crashing from the kitchen. She hurried to the kitchen, trying to clear her mind. She saw Sara, with shaky hands and uncombed hair. She was a mess.

As Sakura entered the kitchen, Sara dropped a batter mix to the floor. "Sakura, your breakfast will come in a minute, sorry you needed to wait." Sara had her hands full. There are too many breakfasts to serve and she was only a small person.

"No don't be ridiculous. Here let me help you."

"No! You will get dirty. I can manage. Please leave."

"I know how to prepare some dish. Please let me help to you."

"As a matter a fact, I do need help. Can you please boil this?" Sara handed her two cups of rice grain. She started peeling onions at one hand and mix in a cake mix on the other.

"I know about..... you know.... Eriol and you. He's a real gentleman, I know why you fell in love with him. But what about him?"

Sara weeped slowly and wiped her tears. She shoved in the cake mix in the oven. "Oh sorry, I'm really sorry, I didn't mean. I didn't mean to hurt your feelings. I'm very sorry, I' didn't mean to...."

"No, it wasn't you, it's the onion. And I'm very sorry I didn't tell you the truth. You know what love makes you do. And I think Syouron wants to talk to you. He's probably in his room. Go!"

Sara smiled at her as she left the kitchen. Sara quickly shut the door behind her. The cake was overdone. There was smoke coming out of the oven. She frowned and quickly took out the burned cake.

*~*

Sakura nervously knocks politely on Syouron's door. She never expected to do this. Knock on a boy's door, especially to talk to him, that was just weird for her.

"WHAT!??" Syouron screamed out. "Oh, I'm so sorry, I thought it was probably one of my sisters, teasing me about.... well, you. Eerrmm, come in. So what made you came here??"

Sakura sat down in Syouron's personal seat. She looks around, his room was a bit extraordinary. There are pictures of her everywhere, covering up the green wall. She blushed slightly and whispered, "Sara said you wanted to talk to me?"

"Yes Sakura I do actually. Well, to start it off, I'm leaving tomorrow. I won't see you for a while I guess. And the other thing was....."

"WHAT! You're leaving me? I came here, to spend time with you! And you're leaving me? Am I so horrible to be with? I want to go too, to be with you!"

"Sakura no, you're the only person I want to be with. But you can't come. It's training. For me. I need more power if I'll ever be Li Clan leader. You have to understand." Sakura was crying uncontrollably, tears covering up her face. "No, don't cry, smile please. I won't go, if you don't want me to."

Sakura forced out a smile. Then laughter,

"I'm being silly. You're right. And who am I, to tell you what to do?" She swabbed her face and looked at her feet. Syouron came closer to her and they hugged, Sakura's head lying softly on Syouron's shoulder.

They kissed and shared a smile.

"The love of my life." Syouron said to her. "I can't imagine my self without you."

"Don't you forget to write to me. I know I sound like an old wife but I am going to miss you. It's going to be hard, without you." Sakura smiled at him, and walked out of his room. "And what was the other thing?."

"Eerrm, nothing?!" Syouron answered. While Sakura waved at him. She walked away, missing him even more.

Syouron whispered to himself, "I'll say it to her when I come back."
