Disclaimer: the same thing… Anyway, thank you for spending time reading my
story. I want to clarify some things- like how old is Sakura and Syaoran
in the story, In my calculations. Syaoran left Japan at the age of 12 since
he stayed there for two years (I guess). So here's the continuation…. I
hope you will still continue reading my fanfic. In addition, some names
were borrowed (Ming na) from Ekai because I'm not very familiar with
Japanese name or Chinese.
Chapter 2- Meeting you again
"Sorry, I'm late!" as Sakura runs toward the guy who is waiting at the entrance of the theme park.
The man that is waiting smiles while waving. Sakura is very lucky to have him because the guy is almost perfect- warm, gentle, sweet, and mature but there is missing…
"As usual, it will never be you if you're early!" He teasingly said to Sakura who is panting.
"What do you mean by that, Ryu Hunter!" Sakura gives Ryu a sharp look.
Ryu is half Japanese and half American. Sakura met him two years ago when Ryu transfer to the university where she is studying. At first Sakura doesn't want the idea of going out with a guy but Tomoyo insisted. Since then, they have been dating.
"Ok! Let's go now." Not minding what Sakura said. He takes her hand and entered the theme park.
High noon. "Sakura do you want ice cream, or anything?" Ryu asked Sakura who is already feeling tried of all the rides they went.
"Ice cream will do." Said dryly.
Sakura went to a bench near the store her boyfriend went. As she sat down, she pondered some memories during her childhood years. Sakura closes her eyes; she let the memories flow, both happy and sad, during the card captor days, and the time a boy confessed his love to her. As she remembered him Sakura open her eyes. "I wonder what happen to him. Ten years of no communication… Will he still remember me? I never heard any stories of him from Meilin. I wonder…" Suddenly a little girl began to cry. Sakura snap from her deep thought because of the loud cry the little girl created.
The girl is fair complexion. The eyes are large, beautiful, dark brown. Her hair is flowing black. She has a bangs, and her hair is tied on two sides. (She looks like Boo in Monsters Inc.). She wears a cute pink dress, with a design of cherry blossoms on the skirt. The ends of each puffy sleeve have laces. The style of her dress suggesting that she belongs to a wealthy family.
Sakura walk towards the crying girl, and levels her self to the girl's height.
"Hey little girl. Why are you crying?"
"Papa…" as the girl murmuring
"Where is your father? Do you want me to help you look for your father?" She touched the girl's shoulder
The girl nodded. Just then a man in his early twenties is running towards Sakura and the girl.
"Ying! Oh Ying… I thought I've lost you…" He hugged her little girl tightly as if he doesn't want to let go. "Don't do it again, you hear that young lady." As he scold her daughter.
"Sorry for the trouble but thank you very much for taking care of my daughter, She means a lot to me. How can I repay you…" He thanks Sakura full of gratitude.
" It was nothing. I just did the right thing." She smiles to the man. Then suddenly, she thought that this man looks familiar- his chocolate brown hair, auburn eyes… Then as she search for more clues she saw the Lasin board; this leads her to a conclusion.
" Syaoran?" She was surprise. She was surprised when she found out that the man in front of her is Syaoran Li, the girl's father.
The man faced Sakura with puzzled expression. "Do I know you? Or have we met?" The man answered.
So surprised, Sakura was mentally block. She doesn't know what or how to react. A minute ago she was thinking of him then now she met him with a child on his shoulder- mixed emotions fills her.
"Sakura, here's your ice cream…" Ryu handed Sakura. As he saw the expression on her face he right away follow the direction where Sakura is facing. He saw a man in a blue sweater, wearing khaki jeans.
'Sakura….' The name rings through his ears. "Sakura." As he said her name.
At that time Ryu was beginning to feel jealous because he never seen Sakura act this way or look at someone like that.
"Nice to meet you again… Sakura." The guy greets Sakura with a warm smile.
Sakura just give him a sly smile
"Name is Ryu. Ryu Hunter. I'm her boyfriend." Ryu forward his hand to make shake hands to Syaoran. Showing a gesture that will make the guy in front of him knows that Sakura is taken.
Syaoran apparently took Ryu's hand and shakes it.
At the restaurant, Syaoran is feeding her daughter. When the sunray touches the hand of Syaoran, the ring on his right finger reflects. This catches Sakura's attention.
"So, you are married." Sakura said passively. Syaoran raise his finger in a chin level reveal the whole ring, and nod.
"So you are the famous Li Syaoran that I'm hearing." Ryu bitterly said. He knows that there is something with his girlfriend and him before that makes him very jealous. He admits he never felt jealous before until now. He has the feeling that…
"What do you mean by that?" Syaoran was puzzled.
"Well, I heard your name from the news yesterday. The description that was given to you was 'the business man, Li Syaoran'. So you are an entrepreneur. What kind of business do you have." Ryu is asking Syaoran like a reporter, but he just narrated all his businesses with humility.
Ryu never thought that Syaoran is renown as the richest man in Hong Kong.
While the two are talking about Syaoran's way of living, Sakura is examining him. She compares the young Syaoran and the present one. The first one she notices was his pair of eyes. Sakura though Syaoran's eyes were cold now his eyes show full of life and happiness, as if he is contented of what he have right now. Sakura never thought of him to be like this but she is happy of what happened to her young sweetheart.
"So… for how long are you going to stay here?" Ryu asked
" Maybe a month or less. I went here for business."
'So, he is here for business, just like before…' Sakura was somehow hurt with Syoaran's answer. She was expecting the other one.
The whole day, Sakura was silent, as Ryu notices it. Syaoran, on the other hand, was too busy with his daughter.
"Good-bye. I'll call you later." Ryu kissed Sakura on the lips and then left. He seems disturb about this Li guy. When did Sakura meet him? That question rises as he thinking about today's event. Sakura never spoke of him, he never knows until today. Until today, when Li told him that he and Sakura were classmates, then why didn't Sakura bother to talk about him. Is there something between them before he met Sakura?
As Sakura watch her boyfriend goes, her thoughts began to shift to Syaoran.
"I'm home…" lifeless as she said it.
"Welcome home! So happened to your date? Huh, Sakura?" Kero asks her with enthusiasm.
"He's back, Kero…" said with a sad tone.
From being enthusiastic to seriousness Kero asked "Who?"
"Syaoran…"
"That brat!" Kero was surprised. He never thought the kid would come back. After all this years he has the have face to show up.
Sakura lie down as she continues talking with Kero. "He has a child. His already married, Kero…" a sad tone conquered the voiced of Sakura. She realized that until now she has the hope of seeing Syaoran, and reunited with him.
"Li is married?! It can't be. I know how much he loves you! How could that be?"
"I don't know… ten years is too long, maybe he already forgotten about me and move on…" expressing a very sad tone.
"Well, like what you did. Ryu is seems nice, is he?" Kero is trying to console Sakura.
"Yeah, he is and I'm very lucky to have him." But not for Ryu.
"You meet who?!!!" Tomoyo shouted as she making Sakura's garments.
"I met Syaoran yesterday at the theme park with his… daughter." She is having a hard time saying the last words.
"Oh…so he's married already…" Tomoyo said. " So what is he doing here?" she continued.
"Um…" thinking. "He said he just went here for business purposes."
"I'm going to mention this to Eriol" Tomoyo exclaimed. Tomoyo and Eriol are now happily married for one year. Eriol is an architect working a big firm in Tomoeda.
"So! How's Ryu?" Tomoyo asked
"He's fine…" Sakura answered Tomoyo passively
Tomoyo come closer to Sakura and feeling that they need to talk about Syaoran and her boyfriend.
"Have you told him about Syaoran?"
"No. I never mention him to Ryu. I feel like I don't need to tell him everything about me. Maybe now he is confused."
"I know I shouldn't ask this but… do you still love Syaoran?"
Sakura was shocked. She doesn't expect Tomoyo will ask a certain question regarding her feelings. Right now she is still confuse, confuse on everything that is happening.
"I'm sorry. I shouldn't asked that…" Tomoyo feels guilty because of her question.
"No. It's alright…" Sakura became gloomy.
Tomoyo is not satisfied with Sakura's answer so she left Sakura for a while to unwind her.
"That's it for today's meeting. I see you again." Syaoran said it with an authority in his voice.
"Li, let have a coffee." One of the board members invited him for a drink.
"No, I can't. I have a child to tend with, you know Kim…" Faces his friend
"Okay, then next time. Jeez, that's why I don't want to get marry at the young age, you can't enjoy life as what its should be." Kim said it as if he wants Syaoran to get mad and envy him for the life he has now.
"IF you are not ready." Syaoran but in. Never in their whole friendship Kim won over Syaoran.
On way his home, he stop at the supermarket for the things he have to buy. In the supermarket, while he is picking some things he bumps to a woman. Due to his impeccable reflexes he caught the woman on time.
"Oh! Sorry I wasn't looking…Sakura? What a surprised!" He exclaimed while helping Sakura regain her balance.
"Same to you! What are you doing here?" Asking while fixing her clothes.
"What does an individual suppose to do inside the supermarket?" Asking Sakura gain.
When Sakura realizes how stupid her question she starts to laugh.
After they left the supermarket, Syaoran voluntary take Sakura home since he thought that her house is on the way.
The atmosphere inside the car was very uncomfortable for Sakura. She doesn't know what to do or to say to him.
"So, how long have you been seeing Hunter?" Syaoran started the conversation.
"About two years ago. Anyway, when did you get married?" Sakura ask him with interest.
"Two years ago…" Syaoran's facial expression change into something nostalgic.
"… My wife's name is Ming na. She died after giving birth to our daughter." He continues.
Sakura didn't expect that Syaoran would tell her about his wife the fact is she just died. Realizing this Sakura come to the conclusion that Syaoran is now a single parent.
"Ying fa is my child's name. She is already two years old and I am proud because I was able to raised her alone." He continues talking about his life with a smile on his face.
Sakura don't know what to say, so she thought of things that she thinks would make Syaoran interested.
"Um, well, Tomoyo and Eriol just married last year. You know?"
"Yeah, I heard that from Meilin. I was planning of coming on their wedding but due to my hectic schedules I wasn't able."
Before Sakura continue to speak the car stop in front to her house. Surprisingly, because Sakura thought that he already forgot the way to her house but it seems she underestimated him.
"Thanks for the ride and the small talk." She said as she gets off to the car.
"Same goes with me… Say Sakura, are you busy next Saturday?"
Checking her schedule "Nope. Why?"
"I just want to have a chat with you; you know getting to know each other again. And by the way, I also want to see Eriol and Tomoyo. Could you do that for me? I don't know how to contact them." He asks with a pleading tone.
"Okay, Don't worry, I'll take care of it. Until then." She waves at Syaoran.
When Syaoran's car left. Sakura seems in a trance again. She thoughts of him a child were drift away. Syaoran change a lot since she last saw him. There is no deadly look on his face. The way he talks, he is not the serious Syaoran that he used to be.
The room was covered with darkness, the only thing that illuminates the whole area are the stars and the moon. There in the bed, Sakura was lying but fully awake. She was thinking about Syaoran and the talked with Tomoyo on the phone 'Have told Eriol about this?' she asked Tomoyo. "No, but I can't wait to tell him that his descendant came back. By the way, when can we meet with Syaoran?' Tomoyo asked 'On, Saturday, the place haven't been discussed but I think it's better to meet him at the hotel where he is staying. What do you think?' Sakura replied.
"Syaoran…."
