"Hey Shoaran we can take our break now." Chris
stated after putting down one of the patients charts. It had been a busy first
day and Xiao Lang greeted the break with joy. "You look like you could use some
coffee I'll go get some for us." Chris offered not waiting for a reply. Xiao
Lang eyed a newspaper a few inches away from him. He picked it up deciding now
was as good a time to look for an apartment as any. After several minutes of his
search he become frustrated. There seemed to be absolutely nothing in New York
that interested him. He didn't know why he was being so picky but nothing seemed
to feel right. Finding an apartment was going to be considerable harder than he
first imagine.
"What you looking for?" Chris questioned sitting down infront of Xiao
Lang. He placed the two coffee's down onto the table.
"An apartment I'm staying in a hotel tell I find something." Xiao Lang
replied sighing. Chris took this as a sign that he wasn't having any luck. He
bit his lip running a hand threw his blonde hair. He wondered if he would regret
this next move. Over the short few hours the two guys had known each other Chris
had take a liking to Xiao Lang. He felt even more horrible than before, he was
99 percent sure this was the same person. Chris had managed to get a little
information about his past from him. But it wasn't the easiest task. It seemed
Xiao Lang wanted to keep his past exactly that, the past.
"Why don't you come live in my apartment?" Chris suggested as Xiao Lang
threw the paper down giving up.
"I couldn't do that you've already done so much for me." He replied a
little stunned by this offer. Chris was an extremely nice person and despite
Xiao Lang's efforts to stay his usually cold self he had warmed up to blonde
haired doctor.
"Its no problem really. My last roommate actually got transferred and had
to move out. I was going to put an add in the paper about it this weekend. This
would be so much better. I mean I don't have to worry about meeting my new
roommate again. It's really a win win situation. Unless you see something better
in there." Chris explained. Xiao Lang thought it over for a few minutes finding
no reason not to accept.
"Well if you don't mind than I guess why not."
"Great I'll help you move in tonight and I can show around town a bit."
Chris exclaimed his blue eyes shining brightly.
"Sounds good to me." The two sat in an uncomfortable silence for a few
minutes. Chris decided that he couldn't take it anymore. If he didn't tell
Syaoran about what he did to him in the past he was going to explode. Even if
the consequence was loosing a good friend. It would only be worse when it came
out later. And he knew it would anything like this always came out in the end.
"Ummm…. Shaoran….. I ummm have umm something
to tell you." Chris stuttered shifting his gaze to the floor.
"What is it?" Xiao Lang asked eyeing his
friend.... why had he all of a sudden got all nervous.
"Well you see… I umm haven't always lived in
New York you know……" A ringing noise interrupted Chris. He cursed mentally not
knowing if he would ever get his courage worked up as he had now. Chris pulled
out his cell phone hitting the on button.
"Chris here." He stated into the phone a little
irritable.
"Hey you." A woman's voice on the other side replied. Xiao Lang noticed
Chris immediately relaxed and lost his flustered look. Instead a big smile
decided to display itself on his friends face.
"Tomoyo-chan what a pleasant surprise." Chris greeted hapily.
"Hmmm I miss you." Tomoyo sighed dreamily.
"I know I know." He replied laughing.
"Chris! That's not suppose to be your reply! Hmph you're going to get it
later."
"Kidding kidding of course I miss you."
"So are we still on for tonight?' Tomoyo questioned eager about their
date. Chris looked back to his new roommate than to his phone. ~Dam double
booked… hmm I can deal with this.~
"Actually Tomoyo I got a new roommate and I'm going to be showing him
around. But you can come after all you know all the cool places around. Plus you
could ahem bring one of your girlfriends along with you." Tomoyo thought for a
moment before sighing. She had wanted to spend a romantic night alone with
Chris, but she suppose this was better than nothing. Both their schedules where
so busy that they barely got to see each other anymore. Although this could
finally be the perfect excuse to get Sakura out of her apartment. Something she
had been looking to do. Whether Sakura liked it or not it was time to get back
up on the horse.
"That's fine… perhaps I can persuade Sakura-chan to come along. I have
been desperately wanting you to meet her." Tomoyo replied excitedly.
"Well if anybody can do it its you hun. Listen my breaks almost up but
we'll meet you at Blinkers around 7."
"Alright Love you."
"Love you two." After her heard the dial tone he placed his phone back
into his pocket.
"You know if you have plans that's ok I can stay at the apartment." Xiao
Lang stated feeling like he was interrupting something.
"Don't be silly you just have to meet my girl." Chris replied.
"What was her name again?" Xiao Lang wondered out loud. He hadn't quite
caught it the first time he said it.
"Daidouji Tomoyo." Chris answered pulling out his wallet.
~Why did that name sound so familiar could she be a missing link in my past…. But was I ever in New York… But that name isn't exactly the average New York name. Why do I suddenly have this image of a lavender haired girl with a camera in her hands?~ Thoughts such as these ran threw Xiao Lang's mind. His mind was so cluttered his head started to hurt.
"This is her." Chris took out a wallet size photo of his girlfriend. Xiao Lang gasped in surprise she looked like the girl he had just imagine. This was getting more confusing by the minute. He shook his head trying to clear his thoughts.
"Oh umm what where you saying before we where interrupted by your phone?" Xiao Lang asked curiosity peaking his interest. Whatever it was it had to be important or Chris wouldn't have acted like that.
"Oh ummm well its nothing." Chris replied losing his courage…. ~I'll tell him after tonight~ He stated in his mind forcefully. "Well let's get to work so we can get out of here early." With that the two headed back to their jobs.
*************************************************************************************************
A few hours later Tomoyo sighed wearily. It was almost six and she still
hadn't had time to ask Sakura about tonight. They had had an unexpected million
people show up tonight. Every time either of them got a spare moment it was
quickly taken away. Finally the crowd was starting to die down. Tomoyo took
advantage of this and quickly grabbed her friend's wrist. Sakura had no time to
protest as Tomoyo pushed her into the back room.
"What is it?" Sakura asked harshly reclaiming her wrist. She leaned
against the wall the mass of people had tired Sakura out even more than before,
She looked like hell.
"Well you know my boyfriend Chris?" Tomoyo started Sakura nodded
wondering where this was going. "Well you see I really really want you to meet.
So you see I thought that we could go out to dinner or a club or something
tonight." Tomoyo suggested purposely leaving out the part about another person
accompanying her boyfriend. Sakura would have immediately thought of it as some
kind of set for the two of them. Then she would never even consider going out.
But what Sakura didn't know wouldn't hurt her.
"Oh Tomoyo but I'm so tired we have had a rough day can't it be another
day." Sakura whined to tired to put up her normal cold act. She rubbed her eyes
trying to get them to focus. Why couldn't she ever get a good nights sleep. What
she wouldn't give for just ONE full nights sleep.
"I know but this is really really really important Sakura…. Pleaaaase. I
won't bug you for a whole week!" Tomoyo exclaimed making her best puppy face.
That promise would never go threw Sakura thought knowing her friend to well.
Tomorrow there would be something else that Tomoyo just NEEDED Sakura to do.
Sakura tried to turn away from Tomoyo's puppy dogface but it was literally
impossible. Sakura sighed deeply knowing she wasn't going to get her way no
matter what.
"Fine." She muttered as Tomoyo squealed in delight. She quickly grabbed
Sakura in a hug saying she wouldn't regret it. Although Sakura knew very well
that there was defiantly something Tomoyo wasn't telling her. What it was she
couldn't place her finger on it. "Well let me do your makeup and I have the
perfect outfit for you….." Tomoyo stated cheerfully. Sakura sweet dropped she
had never agreed to that had she. Seeing Sakura's hard expression Tomoyo pulled
her over to the mirror. "Oh come on Sakura-chan you really aren't planning on
going out like that." Tomoyo gestured to her friends figure. Sakura understood
what her friend was saying. She did indeed look awful… infact more than usually.
~I guess it wouldn't hurt to let Tomoyo have her fun for one night. She seems to
really like this guy. Plus maybe it will get her off my back for a while~ Sakura
just nodded letting Tomoyo know she could do as she pleased. Another squeal of
delight came from Tomoyo. ~Boy she must be tired!~ Tomoyo exclaimed quickly
starting before Sakura changed her mind.
*************************************************************************************************
Chris and Xiao Lang entered the small restaurant known as Blinkers at
7:00 on the dot. That same warm sensation that Xiao Lang had felt last night
washed over him. He could truly get use to that feeling it was so soothing.
"Tomoyo over here!" Chris exclaimed as he saw his girlfriend come out of
the backroom. He noticed Tomoyo start to come to them but turn back around. He
saw her frustrated face, as she seemed to be trying pull something out from the
backroom.
"I've changed my mind!" A girls voice was
heard.
"You promised!" Tomoyo pouted giving one last
pull, which had seem to caught the girl off guard. The girl stumbled out from
the safety of the other room. She gave Tomoyo a look like your going to be dead
when this is over. She sweet dropped than turned to Chris and his friend.
Suddenly gasps where heard from all four of them.
Chris looked Sakura up and down in utter
shock. ~Sak Sakur Sakura Avalon she she can't be Sakura Kinomoto! She can't be
the girl from the accident! This this is not happening! OMG it all makes sense I
meant Tomoyo at the hospital around the same time of that accident. She must
have been visiting Sakura. That's mean if that's true I destroyed my
girlfriend's best friend's life!!!! OMG this is not happening someone tell me
this is not happening!!!! How can I tell them now…. I'll I'll lose
Tomoyo!~
Xiao Lang also had a look of shock on his
face. Although it wasn't really for the same reasons as Chris's. Xiao Lang
peered at the first girl infront of him. He knew it was Tomoyo from Chris's
picture. She was indeed very beautiful. Chris was lucky to have found such a
girl. She seemed to shine with much love. Xiao Lang turned his attention to the
girl next to her. He almost fainted right then and there. ~My god she's so
beautiful! Like an an Angel…~ He gaped at her beauty. Although she seemed
physically tired that didn't make her any less beauty to Xiao Lang. Her smooth
curves and small form fit her perfectly. She was completely stunning. He
couldn't get over the way her hair shined gracing down past her shoulders. Or
how her eyes glowed brightly, making his legs feel like jelly. He could stare
into those green pools forever and never tire of them. He was completely lost in
those orbs. Whoever came up with the line "Eyes are the windows of the soul" had
to be taking about these emeralds. They showed all the pain heartache she had
absorbed over the years. He immediately wanted to hold her and make all that
pain go away. Protect her and lay down his life for her. ~God I feel like I'm in
love…… but how can this be….I I just meant her….. I feel like like I should know
her but from where. God she's beautiful~
Sakura felt faint as she stared at the two
guys infront of her. The blonde one she recognized to be her former doctor. The
one who had treated her a while back. But that wasn't what had been so upsetting
to Sakura. Her eyes laid upon the man next to him. She gripped onto the counter
for support. His eyes ~This isn't happening its all an illusion he isn't
standing here infront of you! For god sakes Sakura he's dead! My god! Why can't
I get over him!~ Sakura screamed in her head quickly closing her eyes. She was
convinced that this was another cruel dream. Another one of the nightmares that
haunted her by night. Had they crept into her day life now to? Could she get no
peace from them? Sakura opened her eyes again half hoping the illusion would
disappear and half hoping it would stay. "Syaoran?" She whispered as the man
still stood in front of her. ~How could this be… This has to be some kind of
cruel joke. He looks so much like him. The same gorgeous eyes that can pear into
my soul and read me like a book. The same messy brown hair that feels like silk
threw your hands. The same handsome face that I fell more in love with every
time I see him. Even the aura around him appeared to be Syaoran's. ~But he's
dead!~ her mind screamed back but her senses couldn't help but make her mind
hope.
Tomoyo looked back and forth between Sakura
and Chris's friend clearly stunned herself ~My god how can he look so much like
Li-kun its impossible!!!!! Maybe this wasn't such a good idea… it could be so
painful for Sakura. But than again perhaps this look alike could be the one to
unlock Sakura's heart.~
"Well ummm Chris this is Sakura my best
friend… Sakura Chris my boyfriend." Tomoyo stated pointing at the two as she
spoke. "And this is Chris's new roommate……." Tomoyo stopped suddenly realized
she didn't know his name.
"Shaoran." He replied. His voice sent shivers
up and down Sakura's spine. It sounded just like Syoaran's. Just like everything
else about him. Sakura could feel tears welling up in her eyes. No matter what
though this wasn't her Syaoran no it was just someone who held a resemblance to
him. ~How could I be so stupid of course its not him he's dead! Get that threw
your thick head! It means never return!~ Sakura yelled on the brink of breaking
down. She had truly hopped by some miracle her little wolf had returned to her,
but that would never be. Why did she set herself up for this
everytime.
"Well ummm I guess we should be going." Chris stated bringing everyone else out of their thoughts. The others nodded silently as they walked out into the cold night. This would surely be an interesting night.
End of the third part. Sorry this took so long to get up. I've been stressing over finals. Don't worry though they are almost done so I will have more time to write. I will try to get the next part up soon.
