Forgotten
Chapter 6


#In Japan#

Sakura heard the mail man pull up infront of her house. Ever since Syaoran had left, she'd sit on the porch and wait for the mail man to come. It had been nearly a month and still no word from Syaoran. But she was still determined and wasn't about to give up. Sakura ran up to the van.

"Konnichi wa," she greeted the mail man, smiling. "Anything for me?"

The young man smiled back. "Actually yes," he replied. "I believe there is something from China for you. Sakura right?" He asked, holding the envelope out among some other things.

Sakura's eyes lit up and she nodded, ignoring all the other mail and taking the envelope on top. She ran inside and ripped it open. It read:


April 29th
My dear sweet Sakura,

How's everything going lately? I hope it's all great and you're doing well. I'm sorry about not writing sooner, but my training masters hardly give me any free time. I'm supposed to be asleep at the moment but I found that writing you a letter is more important. I can't really tell you what's going on over here because this letter might be intercepted at some point. Plus I would be beat if I were to say any more. But I want you to know that I am doing great and I really miss you like crazy. Actually I think I would have already gone crazy if it weren't for this picture of you that I hid with me. They took away all my other ones. They said it was part of the training. But still, I can't stop thinking about you and wishing that I was with you right this moment. I can't wait to see you once again...to hold you in my arms...to hear your laughter. I will try to get them to let me call you sometime. So far I have no access to any sort of computer and so I can't check my e-mail or anything of the sort. They also took my laptop...infact, they took almost everything that would remind me of Japan. I find that quite wierd but the elders say that they are only trying to prepare me to be a fit leader. Well that's about all I can write at the moment. I just heard one of the masters coughing...meaning any minute now he's going to come in and check on me to see if I'm asleep. I love you so very much. I shall return to you soon, my love.


Sakura held the letter close and sighed. She then ran up to her room and began to write.


#In China#

Syaoran stumbled into his dark room and shut the door. He was bruised all over from the intense training he had just gone through. He collapsed on the bed and heard some paper crunch. He instantly shot up and realised he had layed on some kind of envelope thing. He picked it up and walked over to the front of the room, switching the light on. His heart jumped when he noticed Sakura's handwriting on the envelope. He flipped it over to rip it open but saw that it was already open.

"Those bastards read my letter!" He whispered to no one in particular. He pulled out the paper and read:


May 18th
Dearest Syaoran,

I was extremely happy when I got the letter from you. Even though it looked like it was open before and then resealed, I was still very happy. Everything is going well over here, except for the fact that you're not with me. I really miss you and think of you often. I'm counting down the days till we can see eachother again. I feel lonely now that you're not with me. I felt safe and secure when you were around, but now I feel vulnerable at most times. Everyone seems to try and comfort me but it's not really helping much. The only thing keeping me going is the thought of you returning to me and the pictures I have of us and the ones of you. Speaking of pictures, I don't understand why they took your pictures away, but I thought I'd send you some. So I included three pictures with this letter. 1 of them is a group shot of: Touya, Yukito, Me and Tomoyo. And the one standing to the left of Tomoyo is her boyfriend, Eriol. The other 2 are of both of us. I hope you like them and I hope they'll let you keep them. I'm sorry to hear about your laptop and your belongings. I had sent you about 13 e-mails and wondered why you never replied, but now I know. I see no reason in them doing this to you. Well, Touya is yelling for me to come down and have dinner before it gets cold. I just want you to know that I love you so much and I can't wait to see you again. My heart aches for you now, more than ever. Please come home soon.


Syaoran sighed happily and reached into the envelope to pull out the pictures. But the thing was, there were no pictures. Infuriated, Syaoran flung the door open and ran down the hall where the master of the masters resided. He banged on the door.

"Why did you read my letter Ryu?!" He yelled out, still banging on the door. "And why did you take my pictures?! ANSWER ME DAMNIT!!!"

The door swung open to reveal a tall, black-haired, black-eyed muscular guy. He glared at Syaoran.

"You should be grateful we actually let you read one of the letters," he sneered, slapping Syaoran across the face.

"What do you mean ONE OF THE LETTERS?!" Screamed the young amber-eyed man. "They are mine! You took all my things away and now you won't even let me read all the letters? I train hard everyday from sunrise, till well after sundown. The only thing keeping me going is the letters FROM THE GIRL I LOVE! And now I have no pictures left cause someone snuck into my room while I was training, and stole the last one I had of her!!!"

Ryu shook his head. "Weakling. You need a woman to keep living, is that what you're saying?"

"Not just any woman," spat Syaoran. "She's my fiancee and I love her deeply. I live for her, I breath for her."

"If you expect to one day become the leader of China, I suggest you forget of this Japanese freak," he sneered.

Syaoran attempted to punch him in the stomach, but the man caught hold of his hand and flung him backwards, causing him to crash to the floor. He looked up at the man now looming over him.

"She's not a freak and I will never forget her! If I have to, I will disown my title to be with her," whispered Syaoran, shaking with anger. His mouth earned him a strong kick to the stomach that made him fly down the hall and hit the wall on the opposite side.

"You have no choice. Now, not another word. Get to your room and go to sleep. If you do something like this ever again, I will make sure that you do not get any of her letters, or send her any," and with that, the guy retreated back into his room and shut the door. Syaoran slowly got up and walked to his room, using the wall for some support. He collapsed onto the chair next to the desk and pulled out some paper and a pen.


#In Japan#

Sakura had fallen asleep on the porch, and was carried in by Touya. He put her in her bed and went downstairs to cook some food.

"She really misses him. I can't stand seeing her out there everyday, waiting for a letter. She's been so depressed lately. I wonder why he doesn't write her more often," he said, turning to Yukito who was sitting on one of the counters in the kitchen.

"Well I heard that Chinese training is very tough. Horribly tough. I've been told that the masters have no feelings and don't care for their students feelings."

"I don't think that's possible, Yukito," sighed Touya, opening one of the drawers. Yukito shrugged and jumped off the counter.

"Anything is possible Touya. Anywho, I guess I should get going now. My grandpa needs me to help him repair the shelf in the main room," he said, walking towards the front door.

"Hey while you're at it, you think you can check the mail real quick?" Asked Touya, cutting up some tomatoes.

"Sure thing. I'll be right back," the other boy called out, pulling the door open. A couple of seconds later he rushed back in, excited. "Touya! Sakura got a letter from Syaoran!" He eclaimed, rushing over to the taller guy.

"This is perfect! This'll hopefully boost her spirit."


#Half an hour later#

Sakura sat up in bed, stretching and yawning. She rubbed her eyes and glanced at the clock. ~3 o'clock. OH MY GOD THE MAIL MAN!~ She thought, jumping out of bed and racing downstairs. But before she could reach the door, Touya stepped in front of her, grinning.

"Touya! Did the mail man get here already?! Did I miss him? Did you check the mail box yet?!" She asked, talking rather fast, her eyes darting from Touya to the front door. Her brother pulled something out of his pocket.

"Calm down Sakura. Here," he said handing her the envelope. "It's from Syaoran."

Sakura slowly took the envelope and flipped it over, taking a look at the address. Her eyes filled up with tears of happiness and she hugged Touya. She then raced up to her room and slammed the door. She read:


June 22nd
Dear love,

Training is harder than ever and it's even harder that I am away from you. I have decided to disown my title as a Prince. I shall talk to the elders after I finish writing this, and inform them of my decision. I love you more than anything in this world and I would give anything to be with you. So I hope to come home soon and be with you once again. I'm glad to hear that Tomoyo has a boyfriend but I'm sorry to hear of your depression. Especially when I know that I am the cause of that depression. I should have never left you. I should have stayed with you at any cost. I now know my mistake and will never make it again. I love you so much, no words could ever describe it. I hope to be with you shortly. I must go talk to the elders now. Please continue to wait for me.


Sakura's eyes filled up with tears once again. But suddenly something hit her. ~This letter was written over a month ago...He should have gotten here by now. Maybe he decided to stay there after all and sent a letter stating so, but it has yet to arrive. Or maybe the elders said he had no choice but to continue the training~ she thought, pulling out some paper and her favorite pen.


#In China#

Ryu burst out laughing.

"Poor girl," he said, opening the last drawer of the file cabinet in his room. It was stacked nearly to the top with letters that began with 'Dear Syaoran' or 'Syaoran my love'. He added another, dated July 30th with 'HAPPY BIRTHDAY' written at the top, to the pile of letters and shut the drawer. "Your dear fiancee no longer remembers you, and yet you continue to send him letters. How sweet," he smirked, walking over to his bed and laying down.

-Flashback-
Syaoran walked into the room.

"I have decided that I don't want to be the prince of China. Especially if it involves me not being able to see nor communicate verbally with my dear fiancee. I refuse to go on training, and demand that you send me back to Japan," announced the young man, slamming his hand down on the desk Ryu was sitting behind. The big guy sighed and shook his head, snapping his fingers. Syaoran was instantly grabbed by three men who had been standing in the shadows of the dark room.

"I hoped it wouldn't have to come to this," he said, standing up. He walked over to where Syaoran was struggling against the three men. Ryu slipped his hand in his pocket. "Hold him down," he spoke, retrieving an injection needle from it.

Syaoran's eyes grew wide and struggled even harder. But the three men were too strong and were able to hold him down.

"Let me go you sick bastards! Get away from me!" He yelled, trying desperately to pull free.

"Quit moving! The more you move the more it'll hurt," informed Ryu, grabbing a hold of Syaoran's hair.

"What the hell are you doing?!" Sneered the young man, trying to pull back. The raven-eyed guy ignored his question, and pulled his head downwards, exposing the back of his neck. He injected the needle into a certain area off to the side, and pressed down on the top, watching as the bluish liquid drained out of the bottle. The boy collapsed.

"Take him to his room and retrieve all his belongings. Anything that would give him a hint of his past, bring it to me. Leave nothing," ordered Ryu. The three men nodded and exited the room.
-End Flashback-

"We shall finally have our perfect and fearless leader. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAA!!!"
