Disclaimer: I own CCS.I own CCS.I own CCS. well it worked 4 Dorothy in the
Wizard of Oz.guess I still don't own it..
***PLEASE READ! *** A lot of you were saying Syaoran should nave figured it was her already, ne? Well, first of all, the conversation they had in chapter 3 was really the fist time they had had an actual conversation. And, as some1 said, Miyoko was crying out 4 attention, but he really didn't care about her. And also, in the last chapter I tried 2 make it look like he suspected that she could possible be sakura.guess I didn't do a very good job though.
To _____: Slow down! You'll hurt yourself. I normally don't reply 2 individuals, but w/ u that's an exception (read _____'s review if u want 2 know y) Okay, first off all, if u remember back to the chapter b4 that Tomoyo said something like, "I thought she stopped, but she started again." Something along those lines, I don't remember exactly. And she was referring to Miyoko, not Sakura. This also takes place after the second movie, but the he leaves again and doesn't come back until the 1st/2nd chapter of my story. Did that help at all?
Sorry 4 all of that! Please read now! ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Who is Miyoko?
Chapter 5
"It's really you." Syaoran whispered to himself after looking at her for a while. Then she pulled away, almost angrily.
"Why didn't you come back?" She said fiercely as tears welled up in her eyes. Syaoran couldn't stand to see her cry, but was afraid of what might happen if he tried to comfort her now.
"I didn't have a choice." Regret filled his voice. "My family is there, I had to train and-"
"Train for what!" She interrupted. "All the cards were already caught and transformed!"
"They want me to become clan leader-" he started but then remembered something. "Letters! I sent you letters for the longest time, but you never answered."
"I never got any." She said half disbelieving.
"They must have never sent them." He didn't really sound surprised. The Clan elders could have easily made it so the letters never reached her, and they thought any contact with the girl he loved would distract him form his training. "I thought you had found someone else."
"Then why did you come back?" Sakura asked.
"I hoped that you didn't, and that maybe." He let his sentence linger for a moment before continuing. "Maybe I still had a chance."
"ohhh." She couldn't look at him anymore. She chose to stare at the ground instead. There was a long uncomfortable pause before Syaoran spoke.
"Sakura," He said softly. "Why did you change yourself like this?"
"I never expected you to leave so suddenly." She said looking at him once again. "At first, I hoped you would come back.just about everyone said to get over it, and that there was no way you were ever coming back." She smiled a little as if they were happy memories, but they weren't. "I'd tell them they were wrong, but eventually I started to believe them. After that, I just tried to forget, but I couldn't." Syaoran watched Sakura change her gaze from him to the ground, but never once did he look away as she was speaking. "Then about two years after you left, Touya left for collage. I just felt so alone."
"Is that why you-" Syaoran started to ask, but she quickly interrupted him.
"It's like a play." He gave her a strange look, but she looked away and up at the sky instead. "Your still you, but your not yourself. You're someone else. I wasn't Sakura anymore. I was Miyoko. Just about everyone believed that, so I began to." She looked back at Syaoran." Then you came. I wanted to hurt you.like you did me. I thought if I could make you love me, then I could leave and we would be even."
Syaoran stared at her for a long time. He wasn't sure what exactly to say. Then he remembered the reason he had come to see her in the first place. "What about the pills?" He said quietly. Sakura looked like she might almost laugh.
"You mean these?" She said taking the same bottle from earlier out of her pocket. "I tried them once, right after I changed. I thought it would help.they didn't though. Tomoyo found out, but I already had decided to never do them again. Then you came back. I still had the old bottle from the first time, so I thought I'd try it again.I never did though."
"But Tomoyo said that you."
"I know what she thinks. I let he think that, and I really don't plan on changing her mind about that anytime soon. Besides, at the time, everyone thinking I did them made me even less like Sakura." There was again another long pause before Syaoran said what they were both thinking.
"So what next?" He said looking her right in the eye. "Do you plan to stay Miyoko or..." His last sentence caused even more silence as Sakura returned to thinking. "I can go home if you want me too." He said sadly. Sakura shook her head though.
"No. I don't want you to go anymore." She was very sure of t she said. "I want to be Sakura again..." She then returned to looking at the ground again. "Just please don't go." She said as tears she'd been fighting to control through out the entire conversation started to seep though.
"I promise I'll never leave you again Sakura." He promised.
"You do?" She looked up at him, a small smile now appearing on her newly tear stained cheeks. Syaoran just nodded in response, and Sakura's smile grew a little. "Good. Now here..." She said as she reached in her pocket and took out a familiar looking bottle. "I don't ever want to see or be tempting by these again."
Syaoran nodded again and took the bottle. Then he pointed the hand they were in away from Sakura. Instantly they burst into flames, but no harming Syaoran what so ever. He then dumped the small pile of ash in his hand onto the ground, and clapped the remaining dust off of his hands.
"How did you do that?" She asked amazed by what she just saw.
"You weren't the only one who learned new magic over the past few years." He said confidently.
"How do you know if I learned anything new?" She asked. Syaoran rolled his eyes. She was still as oblivious to things as ever.
"You concealed your aura." He said as if it was obvious, and since they both possessed magic, it kind of was.
"Ohh, yeah that." She said blushing a little because she had completely forgotten. Then there was yet another pause as they both thought of what they were to say next and in the end Syaoran was the quicker thinker.
"Sakura?" He started
"What?"
"Are you going to keep your hair that way?" He asked. She just looked at him for a moment before speaking.
"It's not real..."She admitted, taking off what was now found to be a wig. "I was too scared to change my hair that drastically..." She was a little embarrassed by this but covered it up well enough that Syaoran didn't notice. Her hair was still the sweet honey brown that he remembered, only now it was longer and came down as close as possible to her shoulders without touching them. "Better?"
"Much." Syaoran said smiling, something he hadn't done in years. Then their eyes met once again and they slowly came close until they finally kissed. When they finished Syaoran wrapped his arms around her and she gently laid her head on his chest. They stayed like that for what seemed an eternity to them, but was really only a few minutes.
"Syaoran?" Sakura said after a while. "What time is it?" Syaoran looked down at his watch
"About 8:30. Why, do you need to go?"
"Yeah. I wish I didn't but Onni-chan will get suspicious."
"I though you said he went to collage?" Syaoran asked confused.
"He is, but he's visiting." Then she pulled away from Syaoran enough to look at him and smiled. "Wont he be surprised." Syaoran smiled as well and released Sakura. "Besides, there's some things I need to take care of before I go to school tomarrow."
"As Sakura, right?" he asked just to be sure.
"Yep. As Sakura. Will you help me explain things?"
"Of course."
"Good...will you walk to school with me tomorrow?" She asked.
"Sure. I'd love to." He said giving her a final gentle kiss on the lips.
"Great! Bye!" Sakura ran off in the other direction. And Syaoran walked home now he had a lot to think about.
~*~
Sakura was impatiently sitting on her bed checking out the window every five seconds. Where was he? He was supposed to be here already! She got up and peeked out the window again. "Ughhhhhhh!"
"What's your problem squirt? Hey, since when do you get up on time?" Touya was peeking though the door, originally planning to wake her up.
"Go away Touya!" She though a pillow at him but he closed the door to block it before peeking his head back in.
"So why are you awake anyway?" He asked again.
"It's no concern of yours." She said trying to cover up how quickly her heat was sinking as each minute Syaoran wasn't' there passed.
"I'll just make it my concern then. Now why are you up?"
Was it really that odd that she was up on time? Yes. "Will you leave me alone if I tell you?" She was walking towards him to leave her room.
"Yeah, I guess." Sakura was now almost at the door.
"Syaoran'sbackandthat'swhyidecidedtobecomemyselfagainandhewasgonnawalktoscho olwithmebye!" Sakura ran out the door. Why wasn't Syaoran here? Now she was going to be late again. Sakura was in no rush to get to school though. She slowly walked down the street. When she turned the corner she felt someone tap her on the back.
"Why so sad?" Sakura turned around.
"Syaoran!" She then jumped into his arms. "Why didn't you come to my house? I thought you weren't coming."
"Well.I'm a-" She quickly interrupted him.
"You're still scared of Touya aren't you!?!" She laughed out.
"I could beat him if I wanted." Syaoran said in attempt to cover it up. "We're going to be late for school if we don't hurry."
~*~
Sakura and Syaoran walked hand in hand towards the school. They ran half the way so they weren't late. They ignored the strange looks and whispers as they entered. Once they were inside they had agreed to see Tomoyo first, so the walked over to her locker.
"Hey Tomoyo!" Sakura said cheerfully.
"Ohh, hi-" Tomoyo turned around. "SAKURA!?!" Sakura just nodded. "You're really back!" Tomoyo hugged her friend. "I knew Syaoran would bring you back." Tomoyo pulled away from Sakura, and turned to Syaoran and hugged him as well, surprising everyone. "I told you, you cared!" Then she turned back to Sakaura. "You have to tell me everything!"
"Sure but at lunch okay. We're like the only ones left not in class and we still have to get our books!" Sakura panicked. Tomoyo also noticed the empty hallways. Then the two girls hurried to their fist class.
~*~*~*~
By the end of the end of the day Sakura, Syaoran, and Tomoyo were tired of explaining about Sakura, Miyoko, and what happened. They also all had their own version of the same story, which didn't help. Especially with the way things get changed throughout the day in a high school. Finally everyone at school settled for the fact that Sakura got hit on the head causing her to lose her memory and think she was Miyoko. Then her 'long lost love' came back and helped her remember. That's surprisingly what the whole school ended up believing and none of them felt like messing with it.
Syaoran and Sakura were in Penguin Park watching the sun set. "Remember how everything always seemed to happen here?"
"Yeah. We never got a break either." Sakura said resting her head on his shoulder. "After the final judgment it was almost like catching the cards all over again. I'm glad you were there to help me though."
"Me too."
"Syaoran?"
"Hmm?"
"Promise you'll never leave me?"
"I already did like ten times Sakura. I'm not leaving."
"Please?" Sakura put on her cutest pouty face. The one that could make Syaoran melt. "Just one more time? Please?" She just couldn't hear it enough.
"I promise I'll never leave you. No matter what." He said again knowing it would make her smile.
"Good." Then Sakura kissed him gently on the lips. "And I'll never leave you."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Finally! It's over. I apologize that it took me ages to get this chapter up, but there was Christmas stuff to deal with, and I have temporarily lost my interest with this story too. Well I hope you like it. Ohh, I do have other CCS fics, there all 1-shots though. Feel free to read them, but I don't think I'm going to rewrite them netime soon. I'm on to bigger and better things. Inuyasha! ^_^
