Syaoran could hardly sleep that night. In the morning he was going to go see his beloved cherry blossom. He pictured the smile on her face. He imagined hugging her after so long apart. 3 Years was it? Today was also the day he was to be announced as Li clan leader. He sighed. he'd have to aviod the press everywhere but it would be worth it.
~*~*~*~*
He knocked on Sakura's door. He only hoped he wouldn't be waking her. It was sunday and she loved to sleep in. He smiled at the thought of her. The door opened.
"Ohayo. Gomen I'm a little early. Is Sakura asleep?" He burst out all at once. Only to find no one there. The door seemed to have opened as if a ghost had done it...
He walked into the house and shut the door. He walked upstairs to where Sakuras room was. He knocked on the door. No answer. He could feel Sakura's strong pink aura. But why wasn't she answering? He tried to open the door. It was locked. He felt for the aura again. Only sakuras key could have done this... Sakura had never done this before... The only person who would know would be her best friend.

"Hai. Is Tomoyo home?" Syaoran asked the maid.
"Hai. She is. Come in. Sit over there and I'll get her."
Syaoran did as he was told. Seconds later Tomoyo came running down the stairs with a million dollar smile on her face. Syaoran stood up.
"OKA-SAN!!! SAKURA-CHAN SENT ME A LETTER!"
Tomoyo came barreling around the corner crashing right into Syaoran.
"Gomen! Gomen- Syaoran!"
"Hai. You got a letter from Sakura?"
"Syaoran! Its been so long...So much has happened...Come up to my room."
"Whats going on Tomoyo?"
"I'll explain everything."
Tomoyo guided Syaoran to her room and sat down.
"Would you like anything?"
"Tomoyo you're avoiding my question. Where is Sakura?"
"Well...I had hoped you would have seen it on the news..."
"The elders wouldn't let me have anything to do with the outside world."
"I see. Well...um..."
"Is she hurt?"
"No. She... Oh its harder than I thought... She was attacked last year. By a magic seeker named Yaoi. He tried to take the cards from her by force but she wouldn't give them in so he threatened her with..."
"Continue" Syaoran said quickly.
"He threatend to kill you. So she gave in. He explained that he would have to shoot her in the head. She agreed still. Then just before he pulled the trigger Touya jumped in front to save her. Unfourtunatly Touya didn't make it."
"Hang on...Yaoi? I heard about him. Isn't he that mass murderer?"
"Yes. Sakura is the first and only person to witness a murder or an attempted murder. So the U.S. government interfered. She's under the witness proctection program. A new name and everything. She wasn't allowed to write letters or anything. She was taken away a year ago. This is the only thing I've gotten from her. She... sent a l;etter for you as well."
Syaoran stared at her. Sakura? Gone? Murder? It couldn't be.
Tomoyo handed him a letter with his name on it.
Syaoran,
I'm very sorry you didn't know anything about it. I'm guessing Tomoyo has probably told you by now. I had no way of getting ahold of you by any means. I really miss you. My life here is horrible and all I can think about is you. You haunt my thoughts and dreams.
I love you more than anything in the world Syaoran. I beg of you to wait for me. If you can't, I understand. Please, if you won't wait, please don't ever forget about me. I love you more than love itself.
Sakura 3 (its a heart)
Tomoyo watched as a single tear rolled down his cheek. Video taping it for Sakura of course.
"Will you wait?" Tomoyo asked.
"No."
Tomoyo stood there shocked by his answer.
"NO?"
"I don't need to wait. I'm going to find her."
Tomoyo was relieved but she didn't have any hope.
"She could be anywhere in the world."
"Nope. She's left us a hint."
"What? Where?" Tomoyo said.
"Do you have a magnifying glass?"
Tomoyo got one and handed it to Syaoran. He still had to squint to see the clue Sakura had left. There in the corner of the letter in minisclue writing were three letters.
U. S. A.
~*~*~*~*
"Syaoran she could be anywhere. The US isn't exactly small."
"Fate will help me. I'm sure of it."
"What makes you so sure?"
Syaoran grinned.
" The saying 'It'll be okay for sure.' "
It was Tomoyos turn to grin.
"Sakura's invincable spell."
"I'll contact you regularly. If I find her I'll tell you where she is."
"Be careful...For Sakura's sake."
"Hai."
Syaoran walked onto the plane that would take him to Chicago. It was going to be a long journey.

Hi everyone! I was a little worried I wouldn't be able to write today. I'm going away on vacation and need to pack. But lucky for me (well not really) I stepped on a piece of glass and I'm supposed to keep it elevated. So I am... Right next to the computer. I may have one more chapter up before I go. Ja ne!
