Chapter Three:
~*~I've Missed You, Too~*~
By DaShyGurl
Sakura's point of view:
I opened my eyes only to find myself staring at my ceiling. I turn my head to the side to look at the clock. My eyes go wide as I gasp. I cannot believe it!! I had actually woken up early today. I wonder if it has anything to do with my excitement of finally seeing the one I love again. Yes. It must be that.
It is only 7:00 AM and I still had so much time to kill. I had nothing planned for today other than going to the airport to meet a certain amber-eyed young Chinese boy. I slowly throw the blankets off of me and get off my bed and head towards the bathroom. There, I wash my face and brush my teeth. I stare at the mirror, only to find someone else staring back at me.
That would be me. I notice my hair is messy and in need of combing. I leave the bathroom and go back to my bedroom. If I had woken up this early, then why not take a nice shower? I grab some nice clean clothes and go back to the bathroom for a nice and long shower.
I must have lost track of time, because before I knew it, I suddenly hear my father knocking on the door asking me when I will come out since it was already 8 in the morning and he needs to take a shower early to be ready to leave for work.
Normal point of view:
The sound of the water running was no longer heard. Instead, a young female voice was heard.
"I'll be out in five minutes, daddy! I'm all done. I just need to get dressed."
"Alright."
In approximately five minutes, Sakura was out the door, apologizing to her father for taking so long. She headed towards her room where she combed her hair.
"WHAT!! GAME OVER!! NOOOOOOO!!!"
"Good morning Kero! I see that you like the new game I bought you." Sakura greeted him
"Yea! I just need a few more days until I finally beat this level. Oh and good morning to you, too. How come you are up so early?" Kero asked, a little bit confused to see his cardmistress up so early.
"Oh, no reason. No reason at all. I just seemed to wake up early." Sakura said.
Suddenly, something struck Sakura. How on earth did Kero get here?
"Hey wait a second. Kero!! Oh my god! When did you come back from England?!?" Sakura asked bewildered.
"Well, gee, thanks for noticing now Sakura. As a matter of fact, I arrived here yesterday. I did miss you, you know!" Kero replied.
"Awww, I missed you, too!" Sakura walked over by Kero and kissed him on the forehead. "Do you want some pancakes for breakfast?"
"OH YEA! YOU'RE THE BEST!" Kero yelled.
Sakura let out a soft giggle as she told him she that she will call him when she is finished making breakfast.
***Hong Kong***
For some reason, he just couldn't wipe that smile off of his face. As much as he tried, he just couldn't. Li never knew that it was that hard to NOT smile. 'And I thought that it was hard to try and SMILE. HA!'
Three knocks were heard.
~Knock! Knock! Knock!~
Li turned his face to the door and asked, "Who is it?"
"Us!" Was the reply of what seemed to belong to his four sisters. Immediately, the smile was replaced with a frown as he sighed.
"DON'T come in!"
Ignoring Li's response, all one sisters turned the knob and all four entered the door, rushing to their little brother.
"Awww! How sweet! Little brother has a girlfriend!" Fuutie exclaimed.
"Why didn't you tell us that you had one?" Shiefa asked.
"Will you bring her over here in Hong Kong? You should really bring her over here so I---I mean we can see her!" Fanren suggested.
"Do you have a picture of her? I wanna see how cute she looks like!" Feimei squealed.
"WILL YOU PLEASE SHUT UP!!" Li's anger rose, as his face got red from blushing and anger.
All at once, Li's room got quiet. He stared from one to the other. All had the same expression on their faces: excitement, while his had was that of a vexed one. The four sisters seemed to stare at him intently, as though waiting for their questions to be answered and to have him tell them all about the cardmistress. The room was still very noiseless.
In a somewhat calm and soft voice, Li broke the silence and began to talk, "One: she is not my girlfriend. She is my FRIEND. Two: I couldn't tell you that I had a girlfriend because I don't have one. Duh! Three: If she wants to come to Hong Kong and her father agrees, then I will bring her. Otherwise, the answer is no. Four: Yes, I have a picture of her when she was eleven, not how she looks now. No, I will not show it to any of you. So, now that you have your answers, would you _please_ leave me alone and _not_ disturb me anymore? Thank you. Now, leave my room."
"But..." all four began. However, they were cut off by their mother's voice. They were all oblivious to the fact that she was there.
"You heard him. You got your answers. Now why don't you all leave your little brother alone and go somewhere else." Yelan told them, leaving no room for an argument. Amazingly enough, all four got up and left. Yelan looked at her son.
"I hope we will see the cardmistress. But, until it is time for you to leave, I suggest that you come and eat breakfast, seeing how you didn't come and eat anything this morning." Yelan said.
"Yes, mother. I will be down in five minutes." Li replied.
"Good. See you then." With that, Yelan closed the door behind her as she went back downstairs. As for Li, he just stared at the door for a while. After about a minute, he got up, got dressed and headed downstairs to eat something. After all, he certainly was famished.
(A/n: Ok, so who cares as to what they for the rest of the morning and the afternoon. I don't think anyone wants to know. It would be boring. So, I'm just going to skip telling you about their boring afternoon and go on to the interesting "time.")
*****Japan, 7:30 PM*****
"Come on Sakura. We should leave to the airport if we want to be there on time. And Tori, drive back to college safely. Got it?" Aiden asked.
"Yes, dad. I will. And just make sure that the Chinese brat doesn't do anything funny." Tori told him. Aiden sighed.
"OK! All done. Bye Tori! I'll miss you." Sakura hugged her brother for a goodbye.
"HEY!! Who told you that you can hug me, monster?" By the look on Sakura's sad face of seeing her brother leave again, Tori couldn't help but sigh. "I'll miss you too, squirt." He hugged Sakura back. "Well, I'm leaving. Bye dad, Sakura."
"Bye!" Both Sakura and Aiden replied.
"We should be heading to the airport, too. So, come on. Get in the car sweetie." Aiden told his only daughter. Sakura got in the car quickly, not wanting to waste anymore time.
"You did say he can sleep in Tori's room, right dad?" Sakura asked.
"Of course he can, sweetie." Aiden replied in a fatherly tone. Sakura only smiled. For the rest of the ride to the airport, Sakura thought about Li and how he might look like now. A slight blush was easily seen on her face.
*****At the airport*****
A female voice over the intercom said, "Flight 386 from Hong Kong is now boarding at Gate 5. I repeat. Flight 386 from Honk Kong is now boarding at Gate 5."
Sakura watched the gate intently, waiting to see a certain someone. Suddenly, something amazing happened. A tall, dark and handsome young man walked out. Just then, amber eyes met emerald. Both smiled. It looked like they right away knew how the other looked, even after all those years apart. Li Showron walked up to them and began to greet them.
"Hi Sakura, Mr. Avalon." Li replied with a smile, no doubt because of the fact that he finally saw Sakura after all those years, and then he bowed.
"Hello there Li. How have you been?" Aiden asked him as he and Sakura bowed back, as well.
"Great, thank you." Li replied. Then he turned his gaze to Sakura and smiled even more.
"I've missed you." Sakura told him as she walked up and hugged him. The unexpected hug took Li by surprise, but he quickly recovered and hugged her back.
"I've missed you, too, Sakura." Li answered back. They let go and smiled once more.
"Well, do you have a place to stay at Li?" Aiden asked Li.
"Oh...um...I'm going to go to a hotel until I find an apartment, actually."
"Nonsense! You can come sleep by us. You can have Tori's old room. He is off to college and now is sleeping there. No need to stay at a hotel." Aiden said.
"Yeah Li. You can stay over. It will be much more fun. And don't worry, like daddy said, Tori is in college, so Tori can't make you sleep on the couch." Sakura giggled a little bit. Li smiled and thanked both of them for the offer. You can see a slight blush on Li's face, which would be because of the thought the lingered in his mind, telling him that he will be staying at the same exact place that Sakura lives in, sleeping in the room right next to hers...
"So, who's hungry? Because I sure am!" Aiden said.
"I am."
"I guess I am a little. Do you want me to cook something once we get there?" Li asked.
"Nonsense! Don't you two worry about dinner. I'll be making it tonight. Oh and by the way sweetie," Aiden turned his attention to Sakura, "I got a phone call this afternoon. It turns out that I have to be gone for a week on a dig. I will be leaving tomorrow morning. Will you be alright by yourself?"
"Don't worry about me dad. Plus, I won't be by myself. Li will be there, remember?" Sakura giggled as Li blushed at the fact that he will be alone with Sakura for a whole week.
'A whole week with Sakura...alone...with no one to disturb us...' Li thought.
"Of course! Must have slipped my mind easily. Well now, we should really be heading home. I believe I have some packing to do. And you young man," Aiden looked at Li as Li gave his full attention to him, "I believe you have some unpacking to do."
"Ah, yes. I will do that." Li replied.
"Good, now let's go home and eat dinner!" Aiden smiled as all three of them started to go help Li get his suitcase that held his clothes and whatever he needed. Once they did that, they left the airport and headed towards Aiden's house.
While driving back home, something struck Sakura. "OH NO!! I just remembered something!" Aiden and Li looked at Sakura quizzically.
"What is it?" Aiden asked.
"Kero came back from Eli's yesterday. I never told him that Li was coming today! And you know that the two NEVER get along. Ohhhh, now I have to make a lot of pudding so that he will agree not to do anything to Li." Sakura told them.
"Oh, yeah! I had thought that if the stuffed animal would be there, then I should bring him the newest a Xylon Warriors game to keep him occupied the whole time and not annoy me. I send the second newest one over to Eli so that Kero might want to go there and leave me alone." Li said.
Sakura stared at him. "Wow, I guess you came prepared." She let out a small giggle.
Li smiled sheepishly, as Aiden announced that they were finally home. He parked the car and all three came out. Li got his luggage and followed Sakura and Aiden to the house. He started to fumble with something in his pocket, ready to take it out once he needed to.
Aiden opened the door and the three got in. Once the door closed, Kero came out. "Hey Sakura, can you make me some pudding. I'm starving! Wait a second. Who is that? He seems familiar."
Li sweat dropped and Sakura let out a nervous giggle. All the sudden, Kero yelled, "CHINESE BRAT! Grrrrr..."
"STUFFED ANIMAL!"
"CHINESE BRAT!"
"STUFFED ANIMAL!"
"CHINESE BR---"
"STOP!" Sakura's voice was heard. Aiden started at the two, seeing how the scene was quite entertaining.
"Sakura, what is he doing here?" Kero asked in anger.
"I'm visiting Sakura, what else, you stuffed animal." Kero was about to say something when Li pulled out something from his pocket. "Guess what I have?" Li smirked at Kero.
"Huh? Is that the newest Xylon Warriors game?" Kero asked in bewilderment. Li only nodded.
"You can have this and the second newest Xylon Warriors game that I sent to Eli ONLY if you promise to go to Eli's and try and beat both of the games there." Li told him.
Kero smiled. "DEAL! I will leave tonight." Li tossed Kero the game as Kero caught it. "OH YEAH!! You're the best!" Kero yelled in happiness as he flew back upstairs.
"I thought I was the best?" Sakura asked in confusion as Li and Aiden laughed. Aiden left to make breakfast, as Sakura took Li to Tori's old room for him to unpack. "I'll help you unpack Li. I have nothing else to do, anyways."
"Thanks, Sakura."
