Well, Sakura off to the city, and Syaoran is at home rebuilding. Will they come back together or go their separate ways??
The song is Love is Strange by Mickey and Sylvia. It's from Dirty Dancing… I don't own the movie or the song or CCS.

"Talking"
(Author's Speaking)
^Lyrics^
^ Love, love is strangeLot of people take it for a game
Once you get it
You'll never wanna quit (no, no)
After you've had it (yeah, yeah)
You're in an awful fix ^
"A little while away. She just drops this on me and expects me to take it."
Syaoran paced around a small building as Eriol watched with great interest.
"She just wants me to coming back begging. Well, if she thinks that I will…"
~*~
"If he thinks he can just rule my life he has another thing coming. It's my life."
Sakura looked a Tomoyo, who was knitting a baby blanket.
"He thinks he runs things. Oh, I will show him just who runs things. He thought he could keep our relationship hush hush, but I won't deal with that. Everyone knows any how."
~*~
"She brought that job bit up just to prove she can do things on her own. I all ready knew that, but does she give me credit? Noooo, I don't think so. She just complains, because I want to keep our sex life secret. I don't need to go around telling everyone do I?"
"Well-"
"No, of course not. But, does she see it that way? Nope."
~*~
"It's not like people don't know we have sex. I don't see what is such the big idea. I wasn't going to go around telling everyone about it. I just want to have an open relationship. Is that too much to ask?"
"Well-"
"No, of course not. But, does he see it that way? Nope."
~*~
"I thought things were going fine, but then she just corners me and brings this up as if I was supposed to know what she was feeling the whole time."
~*~
"Things weren't going great, and then he goes off to work, and acts if everything is ok as if I was supposed to not feel anything."
~*~
"She can go to that stupid job interview. I don't really care."
~*~
"I'll just go to that interview. I don't really care."
~*~
"I won't miss her."
~*~
"I won't miss him."
~*~
Eriol and Tomoyo sighed. ~They will be aching for each other… and then come running back."
"Aren't I right, Tomoyo?"
"Aren't I right, Eriol?"
"Huh? Sure, you're right."
"Right, of course I am."
"Yeah, you're right. I am right about this."
Eriol and Tomoyo shook their heads.

The Next Day
"Ms. Kinomoto, you're writing is wonderful. We love your book. With the right editor I'm quite sure you will have a hit."
"Why thank you, Mr. Sandburg."
"I'll just let you look over the contracts awhile."
"Yes, of course. Thank you for your time."
"I'm sure you will want to talk to your family… moving is a big step."
"Moving?"
"Why, yes. We would want you here in the city to do your work. Is their someone tying you down?"
"Tying me down?" She sneered a little. "Nope, no one is tying me down. I'll have to think about this more."
"Of course. Take your time."
~*~
"Mr. Li, you're art is wonderful. We love you paintings. With the right people I'm sure you will be quite an artist."
"Why, thank you, Mr. Stanberry."
"I'll just let you look over the contracts awhile."
"Yes, of course. Thank you for your time."
"I'm sure you will want to talk to your family… moving is a big step."
"Moving?"
"Why, yes. We would want you here in the city to do your work. Is their someone tying you down?"
"Tying me down?" He sneered a little. "Nope, no one is tying me down. I'll have to think about this more."
"Of course. Take your time."
~*~
"Do you think this is a good idea, Sakura?"
Sakura switched the phone to her other ear. "Why wouldn't it be?"
"Why couldn't you just do your work here?"
"I guess that could be arranged, but don't tell him that."
Tomoyo sighed. "Really. Don't you think you two are going a bit extreme?"
"Extreme?"
"Never mind. Keep in touch, Sakura."
~*~
"Do you think this is a good idea, Syaoran?"
Syaoran switched hands, and placed the phone on his other ear. "Why wouldn't it be?"
"Why can't you just do your work here?"
"I guess that could be arranged, but don't tell her that."
Eriol sighed. "Don't you think you two are taking this a bit far?"
"A bit far?"
"Never mind. Keep in touch, Syaoran."
Eriol hung up the phone, and shoo his head.
"Those two."
Eriol walked over to his wife, and began to give Tomoyo a back rub. "They will be yearning for each other tonight. They will come back for each other."
"I know, but I still can't help, but be worried… what if they are too hard headed, and end up…"
"Then we will stop them, and make them realize they are being stupid."
"Let's hope they can realize it on their own."
~*~
^ Many people
Don't understand (no, no)
They think loving (yeah, yeah)
Is money in the hand
Your sweet loving
Is better than a kiss
When you leave me
Sweet kisses I miss ^
Syaoran laid in his bed, and looked up at the ceiling. This wasn't home… a mere hotel bed. He shifted his position, but still he laid restless.
His mind kept going back to Sakura no matter how much he tried not to think about her. His contracts were sprayed around the room… still unsigned.
~*~
Sakura laid in her bed, book in her lap. She tried to keep her mind off of Syaoran, but not even a book had help her restless sleep. She wasn't at home… it was a hotel room in the city.
She looked over at the nightstand to see the contracts… still unsigned.
~*~
Tomoyo hummed a song as she started up breakfast. Her belly was growing quite large, and she couldn't see her toes any more. She laughed at the thought, but before he thoughts could continue someone called her name.
"Sakura? What are you doing back?"
"I-I… I'm not sure. I couldn't sleep at all last night, and…"
"Sakura, Syaoran isn't here. He left to go to an interview right after you did."
"He… left?"
~*~
"What do you mean you're in the city?" Eriol said practically yelling through the phone.
"I couldn't sleep… I don't know why I'm here, but…"
"Syaoran, Sakura isn't there. She left this morning."
"She… left?"
~*~
Sakura went the front desk. "Miss, is Li Syaoran still here in this hotel?"
The lady checked her book. "No ma'am he left. I'm sorry."
"Yeah… I am too."
~*~
Syaoran went the front desk. "Miss, is Kinomoto Sakura still here in this hotel?"
The lady checked her book. "No ma'am she left. I'm sorry."
"Yeah… I am too."
~*~
Syaoran and Sakura didn't realize they had just missed each other… each went to where the other was, and found out they were gone.

MICKEY:
Silvia...
SILVIA:
Yes Mickey?
MICKEY:
How do you call your lover boy?
SILVIA:
Come 'ere lover boy!! ^
"Where are you, Syaoran?" Sakura whispered as she got on the train to the city once again.
"Where could she be?" Syaoran said to himself as he got onto his ride.
~Did he/she really leave? ~
Sakura sat down in a seat, and closer her eyes. She opened them, and took out her book. ~Might as well do some reading. ~
Syaoran sat down in a seat, and sighed. He took out his sketchpad, and began to draw. ~Might as well do some drawling. ~
The train stopped, and Syaoran and Sakura picked up their baggage. As the got off the train they bumped into each other knocking some items from one another.
"Sorry," Sakura mumbled as she handed the guy his pad.
"My mistake," Syaoran said as he handed the girl her book.
They handed back each other's stuff, and walked their separate ways. It wasn't until a few minutes that they realized…
~That guy kinda looked like Syaoran, but why would he be on the train? ~
~That girl sorta looked like Sakura, but why would she be on the train? ~
~I must have been mistaken… ~
~*~

MICKEY:
And if he doesn't answer?
SILVIA:
Ohh lover boy!
MICKEY:
And if he STILL doesn't answer?
SILVIA:
I simply say
Baby,
Oohh baby
My sweet baby
You're the one ^
~I guess I should sign those contracts, and hand them in. ~ Sakura thought to herself.
She held the pen in her hand… ~here it goes. ~
~*~
"Well, Ms. Kinomoto… it seems that-"
"Sakura!"
Sakura turned around. ~Who in the world could be calling her name? ~
When she realized who it was she stood up, and ran towards him. "Syaoran! Oh, god. Where have you been? I've looked all over for you!"
"I was looking for you, and then on the train… I thought it was you, and then I knew it must have been you. I'm sorry, Sakura. I told them I couldn't work for them if I couldn't work at home with you."
"Syaoran, I-."
"Please, don't tell me I'm too late."
Sakura smiled. "No, you're not. I couldn't do it, Syaoran. I couldn't be away from you… away from our home."
He smiled, and kissed her fully on the mouth as he twirled her around. "We are quite a pair, Sakura."
She kissed him again. "Hai, quite a pair. I love you, Syaoran."
"I love you, Sakura. Oh, god I love you so much."
"I can work on my books at home."
"I can work on my paintings at home."
"Wait, paintings?"
"Farming isn't for me."
"I knew it wasn't."
"I'm an artist, Sakura." He said handing her the picture he drew… once upon a time when he was fourteen.
"Wait, when did you remember…"
"I've known for quite a while… I just didn't know how to tell you, or how you would react. That is why I kept pushing you away."
"You should have just told me, Syaoran."
"I know. Me being me."
"Well, I like you being you."
"Marry me, Sakura."
"You… what?"
"Marry me. I want to marry you, Sakura. I want to raise tons of kids with you."
She hugged him tightly. "What took you so long?"
He smiled at her. "Good thing I took so long."
He slipped the ring on her finger. "I can't wait to see my Aunt's face."
"Sakura, Sakura, Sakura."
"Just kidding. She doesn't matter. This matters. Now matters. We can fix what the tornado broke… rebuild."
"No more rebuilding for me, Sakura. We are going to build our own."
"Our own."

TOGETHER:
Baby,
Oohh baby
My sweet baby
You're the one ^
