After the events of the night. Sakura is very happy. But what happens when she decides a late night visit to her angel would be a brilliant idea. Will she answer some of her nagging questions? Or just make new ones?
------------------------------------------
The worst way to miss someone is to be sitting right beside them knowing you can't have them.
Sakura sat in her room after she was dropped off. She hugged her pillow lovingly. "Wonderful day, wonderful day!" She sang. She lied there in silence and looked at the ceiling. The she herd something go through her head. "It just hurts. It hurts so much." She bolted up. The voice was familiar but her mind wouldn't let her figure it out. –What was that just now? That voice?- She sat there trying to figure things out when there was a tapping on her window. She turned quickly and faced a little yellow creature. Her eyes lit up. "Kero-chan!" She opened the window quickly and hugged him. "It's been so long!"
Kero struggled in her grip. "I can't breath!!"
Sakura clamed down and let him go. "Sorry kero-chan. How are you?"
Kero frowned. "After you dumped me with that brat…"
Sakura glared at him. "Kero-chan! How bad could Xioa-lang be?"
Kero sighed. "But one of his friends was WONDERFUL!" He started to look all dreamy. "That angel could sure make a cake!"
Sakura smiled. "That's good. How is Xioa-lang these days?"
Kero looked at her seriously. "He's hurt."
Sakura eyes widened. "It just hurts. It hurts so much." She whispered the words she heard before.
Kero looked at her in awe. "What did you just say?"
She came back to earth. "Oh! Um….Nothing! What happen?, to Xiao-lang I mean."
Kero looked at her with I side wards glance. –How did she know the exact words that the brat said? – "He fond out the truth about something. Now he has to wait for this person to come out and tell him the truth for themselves. He fond out on accident."
Sakura nodded. "I see. Can I see him? At all?"
Kero's face took an odd shape. "Um….well……um…..it'd be a little hard….you …..um….eh…" He tried to think of someway to lie to her. "He's up in the clouds."
Sakura's face fell. "I see."
Kero's face softened. "Miss him?"
Sakura looked at him. "Yah. I haven't talked to him, since I've given you to him. But I just saw him today."
Kero nodded. "Do you want me to pass anything along?" he smiled devilishly.
Sakura looked at him. "Why? What are you planning?"
Kero smiled. "I don't know. But I could bribe him with your message, and I'll make him give me as many sweets as I want!" Kero's eyes got all fluttery again.
Sakura shook her head. "I'll give you a message to pass along, if you promise NOT to do that. I want him to read this. Give me a second ok? I'm going to write it in a letter. ok?"
He nodded and sat on her desk as she wrote her letter on a piece of paper quickly. She nodded and handed it to him. "Thank you Kero-chan for doing this."
He smiled and nodded. "I'll see you again some other time." He said as he flew out the window. Sakura waved and then her hand fell loosely to her side. –How come I herd that? Could that of been Xiao-lang? Did I here his pain?" She shook her head. –Now I'm really thinking to much.-
* * * * * * *
Kero landed on a balcony and came in through the sliding door. He jumped onto the bed and dropped the piece of paper. "Come on brat. I know you're not asleep."
Syaoran slowly sat up. "What do you want fluffy?"
Kero glared at him. "I brought I message for you, or should I say Xiao-lang?"
Syaoran looked at him. Kero continued "Sakura wanted to give it to the angel she met when she was younger. She doesn't know him by Syaoran, yet."
Syaoran picked up the letter and slowly unfolded it. "A letter?"
Kero nodded. "Yes. Now my reward! Go get me some sweets."
Syaoran pointed towards the kitchen. "You know where everything is, you could get it."
Kero raise an eyebrow. "Wow brat, something must really be wrong if you are letting me get my own food."
Syaoran glared at him and whacked him off the bed. "Out stuffed animal!"
Kero glared at him as he left the room. "Fine."
Syaoran sighed as the door opened and closed. Then he looked at the paper in his hands.
Dear Xiao-lang,
It's been a long time huh? Remember me? The little girl on the swing along time ago? Well I've grown up, as I'm sure you have. How is everything? Kero-chan told me that something just happen that hurt you very much. I hope everything is ok and the someone you are having problems with is also ok. I'm sure you'll fix things up. Well I also have to thank you for helping me today with that demon, I thought I was a goner. Although he did confuse me when he said I have to catch all the cards to defeat him, I thought I did that already? Well anyway. I fell in love again. As you probably know I'm forbidden, but I did. His name is Syaoran Li. I really love him, but for some odd reason I felt as if I knew him before that one day. Tomoyo claimed I did. Maybe my memory is coming back hm? Well I better not take anymore of your time.
Love always,
Sakura
Syaoran stared at the letter and threw it off to the side. He unleashed his wings and flew out of the sliding door from the balcony.
* * * * * * *
Sakura couldn't sleep for some reason. She got up and sat by her windowsill and watched the night sky. Then she saw something fly by quickly but noticed the wings and the power feeling. "Xiao-lang." She whispered softly. Then she took out a card and her wand. "Fly!" She said and then 2 wings grew from her back. She took off after him.
Syaoran landed on a cliff over a lake. –What can I do? She suspects nothing, is this a good or a bad thing?-
Then he felt a soft pink aura and 2 arms encircle him from behind. He sighed knowing who it was. "Why did you come, Sakura?"
He felt her tighten her grip on him and lay her head down on his shoulder. "I wanted to see you." She replied in a soft voice.
He sighed and pulled out of her grip.
She looked up suddenly and stared at his back. "Why are you avoiding me?" She asked softly in a sad voice.
He cringed. He hated to here her like this, more so hated that he made her like this. "I don't want to but I have to. I know it's cruel. But when you find out you'll understand." He said and went to fly off.
"Don't you leave me again!" Sakura screamed from behind him shocking him and herself.
He stopped in mid-air and turned slightly so nothing but his mouth showed. "I never left you before."
She stared at him. "You did. When I was down her you never came back!" She was now crying. "You never even let me know you existed!" She said through sobs. "I missed you." She finally whispered looking down.
He closed his eyes. "Sakura…I…" he stared.
She shook her head and cried faster. "No, I don't want an excuse." Then as she looked up before she could scream at him again she felt something soft on her lips.
When she realized what was happening he had left her lips. "Stop crying." She herd him whisper in her ear. Then she felt a soft touch whip away the tears from her eyes and then he kissed her cheek to catch a falling one.
She looked at him in realization. "S-S-Sy-Syaoran?"
Slowly he stepped into view. "Yes, I am on in the same. Xiao-lang is Syaoran and Syaoran is Xiao-lang."
She stared at him in shock. "No….no…this isn't true! NO!"
He closed his eyes and turned away from her. "I'm sorry Sakura."
"How could you say that? I told you I loved you twice! And you could never tell me?!"
Syaoran looked at her. "Twice? That means…"
She nodded. "Yes I regained my memory. Are you just using me? What is it?! Why?!"
He shook his head. "I wasn't the only one who was lying!"
She looked at him. "What does that mean?"
"Oh stop with the innocent act. You know just as well as I do that you are also an angel." He said calmly.
Her eyes widened. "How….how did you find out?!"
He glared at her. "I have my ways."
She glared at him. "I hate you. I hate you Syaoran!"
He stared at her for a second. "Fine. If you hate me so much, I'll leave." With that he disappeared.
She stared at the stop where he stood. "No. What did I just do?" Tears built up in her eyes and stared to fall. "I just messed up everything." She fell to her knees, put her head in her hands, and cried.
* * * * * * *
Syaoran appeared before Eriol. "I want out. Send me back up to the clouds."
Eriol raised an eyebrow. "What are you talking about?" He asked looking up from the book he was reading."
"I don't want to be here any more!" Syaoran said glaring at his brother.
Eriol shook his head. "Sorry I can't do that."
"Why not?! Why can't me and Meiling switch places?" He asked getting annoyed.
"Eriol shook his head. "Cause Meiling knows what's going on." Eriol said looking back at the book.
"Eriol I know she is an angel!"
Eriol looked up abruptly. "How?"
"I herd you and Meiling fighting the other night."
"But Syaoran…I thought you loved her?" he said mockingly
"Eriol it's gone now, ok? Just get me out of here."
Eriol smiled. "No can do."
Syaoran turned to walk out but then turned to face Eriol again. "You knew this would happen didn't you? You knew I would get hurt! And you knew I was there that night!"
Eriol didn't answer him.
Syaoran shook his head and left. Just as he went out he bumped into someone but ignored it.
Tomoyo watched as Syaoran bumped passed her. She saw the hurt in his eyes. –What happened?- She turned and looked in the room to see Eriol reading his book. –What did he do now?- She stepped back and diapered into the clouds.
* * * * * * *
Sakura sat on the roof of a building. –How could I be so cruel? I loved him, no, I love him. I could I say that to the person I love?- She gazed at the star filled sky. Many would of mistaken her for an angel. She was dressed in pure white and didn't bother to reseal the fly card. –Back where I started. I feel in love under the stars and now I'm heartbroken under them.- She sighed and closed her eyes. –I never thought that the only thing I would loose is him. I should of seen it. But so much has changed. He knows I'm an angel and he's the angel from my past. It's messed up even I'm lost in the spiral.- She then gazed out over the city. –I miss you Syaoran._
* * * * * * *
Tomoyo and Meiling watched Sakura from the clouds.
"WHAT HAPPENED!?" Meiling screamed at a glace.
Tomoyo watched from over her shoulder. "This is very odd. I thought something was weird when I bumped into Syaoran when going to report something to Eriol."
Meiling glared at the image before her. "STUPID!!!! I CAN'T DEAL WITH THIS!!!!"
Tomoyo sweat dropped. "Meiling…just calm down."
Just then Syaoran appeared in the clouds. Meiling and Tomoyo both looked up at him. Silently Tomoyo brush away the image.
"Syaoran?" Tomoyo walked up to him.
He just gave her a stone stare. "I'm NEVER going down there again." He said calmly.
Meiling now approached. "Why not?"
He turned around and walked away. "None of your concern."
When he was out of sight Tomoyo and Meiling looked at each other.
Meiling then sighed. "Makes you want to cry."
She herd a sniffle from next to her. Tomoyo looked up. "Too late."
Meiling sweatdroped and hands Tomoyo a tissue.
* * * * * * *
Syaoran sat and watched the image before him. He had mastered the skill of watching people from the clouds. He watched Sakura as she cried. He didn't know what to do or how to react. He was confused beyond belief. He closed his eyes a brushed the images away. He then let himself plop onto the cloud and looked up into the bright light above him. When he was confused weird thoughts started coming to him such as, did this place ever have a night? Or did it have a proper name? He was VERY unsure of everything right now, and the sad part was he had no one to confide in. Admitting defeat to himself he rolled on he side to me a pair of somewhat see through emerald eyes. He jumped up and looked that the figure. Her whole body was see through as if she was fading away. "Who are you?!" he asked franticly. Then he noticed the striking resemblance to Sakura. Shaking the thought from his mind he continued to watch as the girl got up and looked at him with a sweet smile.
"No, I am not her." She said as if she read hid mind. "Not really anyway."
Syaoran looked at her strangely. "What do you want with me?"
The girl sighed sadly. "You haven't lost her entirely yet. You need to know this. And don't be afraid to love her!" She said as more of a plee rather then a command.
"Why?" It seemed to be the only thing he could ask.
The figure smiled sweetly. "Because she risked everything to love you. You both have a right to be mad, but you will fix it and I'm usually not wrong with these things."
Syaoran could only nod dumbly. "Who are you?"
Again she smiled sweetly like a child. Witch surprisingly fit her due to her mature look. She took some of her long gray hair a threw it over her shoulder. "Let's just say I watch over the people I care about and am unable to become a happy angel."
Syaoran blinked and when his eyes opened the figure was gone. Possibly never to return. He slowly sighed. –What is going on?-
* * * * * * *
Sakura turned to the dark sky. –I don't know what to do anymore.- "Mother." Sakura sighed as tears began to fall again. "Mother, please help me….I'll do anything. Just help me somehow."
Unknown to Sakura a figure was sitting next to her with a sad smile. "I have done everything I can Sakura. The rest is up to you and him." With that she got up and flew past her daughter and disappeared. "I'm sorry."
Sakura suddenly herd something. Looking all around her she saw nothing. –I could of sworn I herd something. UGH! This is getting to me more then it should!- Sakura too then flew away.
* * * * * * *
The next morning Sakura awake with a start when she felt screams coming from either side of her head. "TOO LOUD!" She screamed and sat up. She looked at 2 smiling girls. One with violet eyes and the other with violet. She shook her head. "Why are you guys here?"
They both smiled. "We were worried about you." Meiling said calmly as she sat on the bed. Tomoyo nodded. "Yah it's 1pm and you are still asleep. What's wrong with you?"
Sakura didn't know what to do. –How can I tell them?- What followed was a long awkward silence.
Meiling, who couldn't stand it anymore, spoke up. "I herd what happen, with you and Syaoran." She started to remember the story she forced out of her cousin as of the morning.
Sakura looked at her wide eyed. –Does she know?- "Really?"
Meiling nodded. "You shouldn't let such a trivial fight break you 2 apart. You were so happy, especially since you have your memories back right?" –It's best to not let her know that we are all angels. No need to give the poor girl a heart attack-
Sakura let out a breath she was holding. –So they have no idea. Thank you so much Syaoran.- She then smiled weakly at her friends. "Maybe I should go talk to him later."
Tomoyo nodded. "RIGHT! You will feel much better after that. So right now get dressed and meet us downstairs ok?"
Sakura nodded and watched the 2 girls leave her room. Then a sudden thought came to her mind. –How in the world did they get in here?- Shaking it off she went about everything
Meiling let out a long sigh. "I told you she wouldn't wonder how we got in here. Bring up the subject of Syaoran and the girl is lost." Meiling smiled happily.
Tomoyo gave her a dry look. "BUT YOU DIDN'T TELL HER!"
Meiling backed away from the now scary Tomoyo. "I couldn't bring myself to say it. I would hate to find out everyone I ever trusted was n angel! I couldn't do that to her." Her voice seemed to fade away as she finished.
Tomoyo shook her head. "Well I guess the first thing is to get the back on good grounds right?"
Meiling nodded just as Sakura walked down the stairs.
* * * * * * *
Syaoran paced back and forth in the apartment. After being forced to tell Meiling what happen, then being forced to stay here alone and don't leave. He was a little confused, even more worried about what his evil cousin was thinking up. With a final step he herd voices outside the door. "Oh, just go in for a sec. I forgot something." He herd Meiling's voice and the footsteps. Syaoran guessed she had brought Tomoyo or something. Then another thought came to him. –Why are they using the door?- Before anything eles could be said Sakura walked into the room and closed the door behind her and turned to face a wide eyed Syaoran. Her in equal shock stared at him helplessly.
