"Sakura, I'm so sorry I had no idea," Tomoyo cried as she hugged her friend. She had barged into Sakura's room demanding to know what had happened. It was then Sakura finally broke down and let everything out.
"It's just so hard Tomoyo. I mean. he seemed distant and all. but I didn't think he would hide anything from me. When he said he really did want to marry me. I thought he meant it," Sakura sniffled as she leaned on her friend for support.
"Sakura." Tomoyo trailed off.
"No Tomoyo! He lied to me! What was I really to him?! It was all just some horrible joke! And he even said he loved me." Sakura said quietly with empty eyes. recalling back to when they had first made their decision.
&Flashback&
"This is what YOU want?" Sakura whispered quietly. When she had heard him assume she didn't want to, she thought this is what he wanted to do. After a few moments of hesitation, Syaoran grabbed her by the shoulders and made her look him in the eyes.
"Sakura! Look at me! Does it look like I don't want to marry you?" Syaoran asked her as he looked her in the eyes.
"W-what are you talking about," Sakura stuttered shaking her head.
"It's either you know and don't want to face it, or you're as dense as everyone says," Syaoran teased with a smirk Sakura looked up at him with a pout. "I love you." Sakura would've passed out if he still wasn't holding onto her. But she still had to grab onto the arms that were holding her for support.
"W-what? Come again?" Sakura asked shocked.
"You heard me. I love you. And really, I don't care if you say you don't love me. I'll make you love me in the end. I'll make you fall in love with me. And if there's some other guy. then I'll just have beat the crap out of him," Syaoran said a matter-of-factly. Sakura looked at him with angry eyes before hitting him lightly in the face.
"Well. I'm sorry to say it. but I have to ruin all your plans to get me to love you. Because simply. I already do," Sakura said with tears in her eyes. They embraced into a tight hug before Syaoran placed another kiss on her lips, for the second time.
&End of Flashback&
"Why would he do that to me Tomoyo? Why?" Sakura cried into her friend's lap. Sakura just looked at her friend, with tears falling down her own cheeks. wondering when they both finally find peace. If Syaoran did this to her, and she was so sure he loved Sakura. then how good was her judgment with Eriol? Those two were best friends after all. That could only mean one thing.
~*Eriol and Syaoran*~
"WHAT?!" Eriol yelled at the top of his lungs.
"And now she thinks I cheated on her. How could I possibly do that to Sakura? I love her. I can't live with out her. I'm going crazy without her tight now," Syaoran let out in a strangled voice.
"Alright man. Don't worry we'll have all of this solved soon en-" Eriol began, but got cut off by banging at the door. Eriol jogged over and looked out to see none other than Kangimoto Atsuki.
"What do you want?" Eriol asked in a deathly low voice.
"I've come to explain," Atsuki said with a bright smile. She pushed her way through and made her way over to Syaoran.
"What?" Syaoran barked at her. "You've ruined my life. Isn't that enough?"
"No. it isn't. You took him away from me. He was my brother. You killed him Syaoran. I've been plotting revenge against you for as five years, just a I promised you I would. She still loves you, and so I have to make it so she won't want to have anything to do with you. You don't deserve Sakura. She's an old friend of mine. and I just wish I didn't have to hurt her in the process of hurting you, but things have to be done this way," Atsuki said to him poking him in the chest before turning and walking away. But before she left, she stopped at the door, and let out a smile, whispering one last thing. "And now it's time to ruin your life too, Eriol. You had part in the murder. so time for my other dear friend Tomoyo-chan to experience pain." With that she let out a single tear and walked out of Eriol's room.
*BAM* "I'm so sorry! I wasn't watching where I was." Tomoyo trailed off as she saw who it was that she had banged into. A look of anger crossed her features as she slapped her across the face. Eriol who was watching at the frame of his door widened his eyes. He never would have thought Tomoyo was capable of hurting someone.
"What the hell are you doing here bitch? And to think I called you my friend. How could you do that to Sakura, Atsuki! She really cared about all of her friends, including you!" Tomoyo screeched.
"Eriol, honey! Calm your stupid fiancée down!" Atsuki exclaimed as she walked over to Eriol and placed her arms around his neck.
"What the hell?" Tomoyo cursed as she felt tears coming to her eyes. At this, she gripped her ring, ready to throw it at Eriol if this was what it looked like.
"What do you think you're doing? She is not stupid! You're the one that's stupid for thinking she'd actually believe you! This is all a setup Tomoyo. I swear!" Eriol pleaded as he continuously tried to pry her hands off of him. They looked into each other's eyes as Tomoyo tried to search for an answer. She found none.
"So I was just a one-time fling? You use me and then pretend as if nothing happened between us? You told me you loved me Eriol Hiiragizawa!" Atsuki cried. Eriol and Tomoyo's eyes widened at the same time. Eriol's glance changed from Atsuki to Tomoyo. Tomoyo looked enraged as she landed a slap on one of them.
"Get out of here right now with your bullshit Atsuki. Don't even think of coming back again or else I'll kill you," Tomoyo hissed as she was ready to slap her again, but she ran off before she could. After she left, Tomoyo pushed Eriol to his room and looked at Syaoran.
"Syaoran." Eriol trailed off. Syaoran looked up and saw an enraged Tomoyo.
"Get up," Tomoyo spat. He did as he was told. "Both of you come with me. Now," she spat once more and the two men did as they were told. They were by the lake after a few minutes of walking. "Talk. Right now."
"Her name is Kangimoto Atsuki. But you already know that. When we were kids we were really good friends with her and her brother. There was even a time when Syaoran and I used to fight over which one of us she was going to marry when we were older," Eriol began. At this Tomoyo snorted. He ignored it and continued. "But one day. in the forest, we were playing around and there was a hunter. Toshi, Atsuki's brother, was an animal lover. He always tried to protect any animals from hunters. The guy was a lunatic. Toshi saw the hunter coming, and got shot because he protecting some dumb rabbit. Toshi, Syaoran and I were all 13 at the time. The hunter had already run off so it was up to us to help him. Syaoran had a pocket knife and wanted to cut open where he was shot to get out the bullet to ease some of the pain. But what we hadn't realized was that Toshi was already dead. So when Atsuki came, she saw us cutting Toshi with the knife and ever since then, she thought we killed him. She did say she would get back at us for murdering him. but we always thought she would get over it and understand the truth like everyone else did. They found the hunter and he was committed to slavery. They would have killed him, but Toshi would've been so upset if we did. She said five years from that day she would come back. And yesterday. it was that day," Eriol said solemnly as his head and Syaoran's were hung low at the memory.
"Oh my God. I'm so sorry you guys. But Syaoran. why were you even with her yesterday?" Tomoyo asked her voice now soft.
"She came here, crying. She was talking about her brother. I hadn't even realized it had been five years. When we were little, the sunset and the lake used to always calm her down when she was upset, so I brought her here, where the lake was, and we watched the sunset. just like old times. But when she heard Sakura behind us, she called my name to catch my attention and launched on me and started to kiss me. I pulled her away and she held me back so I couldn't go after her. It only took a few seconds for me to loose sight of Sakura," Syaoran replied softly.
"Don't worry Syaoran. I'll talk to Sakura alright? Everything will be okay," Tomoyo told sympathetically, putting a hand on his shoulder.
"Thanks," Syaoran mumbled as he saw Tomoyo walk away, towards the castle.
~~~~~**~~~~~**~~~~~**~~~~~**~~~~~
Syaoran hadn't moved from his spot that day. It was now late into the night. He just looked into the lake, paying attention to nothing in particular. His soul felt empty without Sakura. and he just wanted her back. Back in his life. He stuffed his hand in his pocket and took out Sakura's engagement ring and ran his finger along all the edges. It had the classical diamond, with emeralds incrusted in the gold. Inside was engraved, Sakura & Syaoran, my first, last, and only true love.
"Sakura." he whispered into the wind.
"Is it true Syaoran? Is that what really happened?" He heard a trembling voice from behind him ask. He instantly knew who it was and shot up from where he was and ran to her. stopping, only but a few inches away from her. He reached out to touch her, but immediately pulled away.
"Yes! Yes of course it's true! Sakura I love you and only you. Didn't you hear me when I said I only wanted you a few days ago?" Syaoran asked as he peered into her emerald eyes.
"Yes but. it looked like." Sakura began.
"I know what it looked like but it wasn't. I only love you Ying Fa. In fact, you're the only girl I've even kissed. She kissed me, but I didn't kiss her back," Syaoran whispered in her ear as he hugged her tightly. At first, she didn't do anything but let him hug her in the familiarly tight embrace. But soon, slowly but surely, she hugged him back. When they broke apart from their embrace, they looked into each other's eyes and leaned in for a passionate kiss. When they broke apart they leant their foreheads on each other.
"I want my ring back," Sakura whispered with a smile as Syaoran broke into laughter and placed the once abandoned ring on her finger. Syaoran sat down with Sakura on his lap and the two watched the stars for the rest of the night, until they fell asleep in each other's arms on the cool summer's night.
