Chapter Four: Meiling's Plan Advances: Syaroan Proposes

Touya stared after Syaroan, surprised. Syaroan was marrying Tomoyo?

Tsukishirou Residence

"Eh?"

Yukito Tsukishirou's eyes looked up wide at Touya, shocked. "Really?"

"Yeah, I know. And..."

"She'll be devastated, won't she?"

"I guess so."

"You do care about her after all."

"Whatever, Yukito," Touya said stubbornly. "What are we going to do?"

"Maybe I can talk to her?" Yukito asked Touya.

Touya shrugged.

"You wanna give it a try?" he asked dryly. "I'm afraid she'll drop dead in my arms if I break the news to her, or at least faint."

Yukito gave Touya a look. "Touya," he said, trying not to snap, "you know that Sakura loves him."

'Yea, yea, yea," Touya shrugged. "I guess she does."

Yukito stood up. "OK then," he replied. "Make yourself at home." He walked out the door. "I'll be back, Touya," he called back kindly as he broke into a jog.

Touya shrugged. "You better be," he added as the door slammed shut.

Touya quickly dashed up to the second storey and peered out the window where Yukito rang the doorbell and Sakura let him in. Then, sighing miserably, he sunk down to his knees.

Oh, Sakura...

At the Kinomoto House

"Yu-yukito-san!" Sakura said, looking brightly up at Yukito. When she was absolutely devastated at the moment, and felt awful about Syaroan, the best person to cheer her up was always Yukito.

"Sakura," Yukito replied, looking sternly into her emerald eyes.

Sakura instantly sensed sympathy and blushed. "What's wrong?" she asked, curious.

"It's about you and Syaroan," he said sharply. He shrugged, then in a matter of seconds, changed into Yue.

"Yue!" Sakura exclaimed, shocked to see Yue's deep blue eyes staring into Sakura's sad emerald ones.

"Yukito is worried," Yue said coldly, as if Sakura wasn't there. "Even Touya is worried, and that's...worrying," he said finally.

Sakura nodded, looking up at Yue, troubled. "What's wrong?" she said sweetly, trying to sound perky.

Yue looked like he might cry. Sakura bit her lip and squeezed her eyes shut, crossing her fingers behind her back, waiting for news.

"Sakura," Yue said sharply, looking at Sakura. Sakura peeked through her closed eyes and lifted up her chin, nodding. "Continue?"

"Syaroan has bought a ring for Tomoyo."

Sakura took five seconds to react.

Yue stood there, waiting for Sakura to say something, anything.

Then Sakura burst into tears and fled into her room. Yue turned back into Yukito and dashed after her, but Sakura called on Lock, and locked the door.

Yukito sighed helplessly, hearing Sakura cry into her pillow. He adored Sakura like a little sister himself, but really he could do nothing now.

He headed back over to his house slowly, and Touya dashed at the door, looking impatiently at him. "What hap-" he started, and broke off, distressed.

"I see."

Then there was silence.

In Sakura's Room

"Why," she wailed to herself.

She closed her eyes, blinking back tears.

Her cell phone rang suddenly.

"Hello?" Sakura asked, hoping to hear Tomoyo's bright, cheery voice for once. "Who is it? Sakura speaking."

"Sakura-chan!"

Sakura paused, disappointed. Meiling.

At Meiling's House

"Has the spell worked?" Meiling asked Sakura, hoping for a teary Sakura to blow up at Syaroan and Tomoyo, like she'd expected.

"No!" Sakura cried breathlessly. Meiling grinned. Here it came...

"Meiling, why is Syaroan asking Tomoyo to marry her?"

Meiling paused at Sakura's breathless, helpless tone. "What?" she said blandly, confused.

What?!Meiling thought. How does she know already?

"Are you sure?" Meiling asked, trying to keep ahold of her voice. "Who told you?"

"Yuki-no, Yue."

"What'd he say, Sakura?"

Sakura told Meiling the whole story, opening up completely.

"He's lying, Sakura," Meiling said sweetly, trying to sound sympathetic. "The spell-the spell..."

"You didn't cast another spell, right?" Sakura repelled back, sounding strange.

"Maybe he really does like her?" Meiling asked.

"Who? Tomoyo? The camera-girl who helped patch me and Syaroan together?" Sakura said suspiciously and jealousy.

"Kinomoto! Get a grip," she hissed. "You're practically clueless. The spell's gone but Syaroan probably loves Tomoyo. He never stayed in contact with me, so I probably wouldn't have any idea."

"But..." Sakura paused. Wouldn't cousins evenutally meet up in 3 years? she wondered.

"Sakura, get a grip!" Meiling yelled.

Sakura began to cry quietly. "I'm sorry, Meiling," she said finally. "I'm just so crazy about him."

"It's okay, Sakura," Meiling said quietly. "It's okay."

In Sakura's Room

"It's nothing about you," Meiling reassured Sakura. "It's all about Syaroan."

"Right," Sakura repeated. "Syaroan." She nodded and hung up.

"What if Meiling lied?" Sakura asked, horrified. She rang up Tomoyo's house.

"Hello? Daidouji residence."

Sakura recognized the tone and gasped, hanging up the phone.

It was Syaroan's voice.

Daidouji Residence

"Who was that?" Tomoyo asked Syaroan.

"Just Sakura," Syaroan said reassuringly to Tomoyo.

Tomoyo shrugged. "That was sure quick..." she murmured. She began to get suspicious. "I'll be to my room, then," she said.

"Come on," Syaroan teased Tomoyo. "Play with me. You'll have lots of time." Tomoyo shrugged. "Okay then," she said politely.

Syaroan grinned. Yes, he would have lots of time with Tomoyo...he patted the ring, lying in his pocket...

Sakura's Room

Sakura cried for another half hour, then began to remember one of her favourite moments...

When they were around eleven, she remembered singing a song in a Talent Quest...

She had sang her heart out, and Tomoyo and Syaroan had been in the crowd, happily listening to her sing... One of her most favourite moments...

She closed her eyes and began to remember...

FLASHBACK

"Kumo wa nagareteru kaze wa futaidasu..."

Sakura saw all her friends, cheering her on as she sang. She sang her loudest and best...

"Itsumo hashitteta kono michi no soba de..."

Chiharu and Yamazaki stood in one corner, dancing...

"Ima mo shiroi hana ga saite waratte iru..."

Rika and Mr. Terada were smiling, looking in each others' eyes, sitting side-by-side...

Sakura took a deep breath and began to sing again...

"Demo tomaranai mune ga tsumara hodo ima ga daisuki de dakedo sugite-yuku..."

Naoko was writing the song lyrics down for a story...Sakura smiled and sang clearer for Naoko...

"Sore wa mukashi naita yume no kakera no you..."

She saw Eriol and Mizuki Kaho, smiling at Sakura politely and yet talking together in hushed voices of judgment of Sakura's voice...

She took a little break and started dancing with one of the background boy singers and took a little twirl and then began singing again.

"Fuwafuwa to ukabu yasuragi mo...

Touya wasn't looking too happy, but at least Yukito was smiling...

"Namida koboreru fuan mo..."

Tomoyo was taping Sakura and whispering to Kero, who was hiding on her shoulder...

"Daiji na mirai ni tsunagatte-iru..."

Sakura flashed a smile to the crowd...and one particular person in the crowd, cheering her on, caught her eye...

"Hazu dakara..."

She smiled to herself. Syaroan...

"Ashita ni natte mo itsuka otona ni natte mo..."

Syaroan...Syaroan was cheering Sakura on...

"Kitto omoidashite ne anata ga koko ni ita koto..."

Then out of a corner of her eye, she saw Meiling.

"Wasurenai de ite hiroi sekai no hate de mo..."

Meiling!

"Zutto kienai ima wo..."

That triggered something in Sakura's memory... Meiling...

She finished the song with, "Minna arigatou mo."

The crowd cheered, clapped and whistled.

"And the winner is, Sakura Kinomoto!"

END OF FLASHBACK

She began to hum the song softly to herself while she tried to sleep...

"Kumo wa nagareteru kaze wa futaidasu,

Itsumo hashitteta kono michi no soba de,

Ima mo shiroi hana ga saite waratte iru..."

"Demo tomaranai mune ga tsumaru hodo ima ga daisuki de dakedo sugite-yuku,

Sore wa mukashi naita yume no kakera no you..."

"Fuwafuwa to ukabu yasuragi mo namida koboreru fuan mo,

Daiji na mirai ni tsunagatte-iru hazu dakara..."

"Ashita ni natte mo itsuka otona ni natte mo,

Kitto omoidashite ne anata ga koko ni ita koto,

Wasurenai de ite hiroi sekai no hate de mo,

Zutto kienai ima wo minna arigatou mo..."

That something triggered in her mind again so she decided to sing it again to make herself feel better.

"I can't help it, I love this time of my life so much it hurts..."

"But it's passing by like the dream I cried about so long ago..."

"The peaceful and insecure feelings like floating clouds and falling tears, are both connected to the precious future, so..."

"Even when tomorrow comes,

Even when someday I become an adult,

I'm sure I'll always remember that you were here with me,

I'll never forget this immeasureable time even when I'm at the other end of the world,

For this moment that will never disappear,

Thank you, everyone."

Sakura's eyes widened.

She took a deep breath, trying to control her anger.

Under her breath she murmured in a sharp, angry tone...

"Meiling..."

At School Tomorrow

"Sakura!" Sakura Kinomoto entered Tomoeda Elementary, sad as ever, the next day.

"Hey, Sakura!" Naoko cried. "Come here!"

Sakura paused and took a deep breath and her eyes widened and she almost burst into tears again.

She saw Syaroan.

Syaroan gave Sakura an evil grin, and Sakura paled, looking worried. "S-S-Syaroan?" she asked, worried.

She forgot everything about her suspicions about Meiling. What was he up to?

"Yes, Sakura?" Syaroan said angrily. "Wait just one second," he replied, whipping out the case.

"Tomoyo Daidouji," he asked. "Will you marry me?"

Sakura paled and just stood there, as Tomoyo clutched Syaroan's ring, and began to reply...
