Remember Our Love
A Painful Meeting
Syaoran walked along the waterfront of Hong Kong. He hated big cities, and missed the small town of Tomoeda. He was suffering. He was taller and more mature than when he was ten. His chocolate brown hair was just as messy as ever, but there was on major difference in him. His eyes were a dull brown, having lost the spark they used to have. His face was lined, although he was young, and it was the face of Someone who had suffered a lot of Heartache. He had lost the person he had loved at the age of twelve, he had been forced to Marry his cousin at age 16, he had stopped receiving letters from the person he loved at age 16 (5 years before) and he had divorced his cousin 2 months ago. He was to become the leader of the Li clan at age 25. By that time he had to have a wife, otherwise the clan would choose another one for him.
Syaoran was living a life of pain and loss. He walked along the boardwalk on the edge of the water, happy to be away from his two kids. he loved them, but they were only four and five years old, and were very noisy. He always felt like a bad father, because he was 21 and divorced. He didn't know how to look after children, and he had no wife to help him.
He stopped in mid stride as he saw a young girl standing staring at the harbour. Something about her made his heart ache. She was fairly short, about up to his chin, that would make her about 5"2 or 5"3. She had long honey brown hair, that had been braided and coiled into a knot at the base of her neck. She had creamy skin, red lips and.......Emerald green eyes. She was wearing a pale blue and cream kimono with blue flowers and twigs covered in cherry blossoms. The kimono reached to the ground, arms covering delicate hands as they moved softly in the breeze. The kimono was wrapped together by a red sash that covered her stomach, accenting the lithe body.
"Sakura?" Syaoran whispered quietly, hardly daring to hope that it was the beautiful cards mistress. "Sakura" She repeated in a soft yet beautiful voice, "I haven't heard that name for a long time, especially from you" She said as she turned to face him. She didn't smile. Syaoran could only stare at the young woman he had fallen in love with so many years ago. She had changed so much!!! He couldn't get a word out of his closed throat. She walked towards him, stopping as she stood next to him, still facing the world behind him. "she is here" she whispered, then continued walking not even noticing the look of shocked horror on Syaoran's face. Syaoran turned around staring at her retreating back, as she put up an umbrella without so much as a slight moment of hesitation, to protect herself from the rain that was starting. Syaoran stared after her until he could no longer see her in the crowd.
Finally noticing for the first time that it was raining, Syaoran realized he was getting totally soaked, but didn't care. He felt like just sitting down and crying. And he did. He found a bench, so he sat down, pulling his legs up to his chest and covered his face in his hands, and just cried.
Syaoran walked in the door of his home, Soaking wet, his eyes red and puffy from crying. The moment he walked into the door, his two children ran in the room, and began running around him shouting "Gramma, Gramma, Daddy's back!!!" Li Yelan walked into the room, to see her tired, soaking wet and obviously unhappy son get bombarded by his very energetic children. She hadn't changed much in the 11 years since Sakura had been there. Her black hair was just as long, her eyes just as young and her dress just as nice. The only change was the appearance of a few grey hairs. She came over and picked up her two grandkids, and received a look of gratitude from her son. "Xiao Lang.." She started "She is.." She was cut off by Syaoran who continued tiredly "Yes I know that she's here. Just let me change and I'll be there" Yelan nodded, and bore the children away to their rooms.
Only ten minuets later Syaoran appeared in the sitting room, in clean, dry clothes. He sat down on the couch opposite his ex wife. Meiling looked at her cousin with concern. She reached over and patted his hand. "Xiao Lang, are you okay? You look totally exhausted. Maybe I should take the kids this weekend?" Syaoran looked at her with gratitude. "Thank you Meiling. That would help." Meiling looked suspiciously at him. "I don't think that today is a good time to talk Aunt Yelan, I don't think Xiao Lang is even listening judging by that glazed look on his face. Xiao Lang? are you a stupid dancing Monkey?" She asked him with a straight face. "Hai" he answered dazedly "See?" Said Meiling to her aunt. Yelan nodded. When his kids came tearing downstairs to say good bye, Syaoran remained deep in thought, hugging each of them, but not paying much attention to them. After Meiling and the children had left, he remained deep in thought. Yelan stayed and watched her son for a while, before she got up to do other things.
As Sakura continued to walk in the pouring rain, she felt so many emotions and feeling tumbling in her head. She got to her hotel, and collapsed on her bed, and much to her shame felt tears on her cheeks. Five long years. Five years since she had had contact with her family or friends. Until she passed the test, she wasn't supposed to have contact with any of them, but how could she not? She loved Syaoran So much! She wondered if Eriol, her teacher, hadn't known that and sent her here just for that reason. After a while, it dawned on her. She knew just what to do to figure everything out. She had to talk to Syaoran's mom.
