Remember our Love

Don't Want to Lose You

It was 7:30 when Syaoran heard the knock at the door. Frowning he went to answer it. Who would be calling at this hour? When he opened the door, there was a young girl there.

Sakura Kinomoto looked up at him. She was wearing the same kimono as this afternoon. Her hair was hanging down almost to her ankles. It clung to her face and back. Her green eyes were red, like she had been crying. "Sakura?" He whispered.

"I need to talk to your mother" She said without meeting his gaze. He moved aside to let her in out of the rain. She had no coat, or umbrella. She was soaked. He reached into the closet in the hallway and took out a towel, an extra set of clothes and a blanket. He handed her the bundle of things and pointed her to the washroom.

She quietly thanked him and stepped inside. She sat down on the toilet seat and buried her face in her hands. She was immensely glad that he took the tears on her face as wetness from the rain.

Syaoran went to his mother who was reading in her study. She looked up as he knocked on the door. "Yes Xiao Lang?" "Mother, there's someone here to see you." The tone of his voice, the look in his eyes told Yelan all she needed to know. The visitor was Sakura.

She went into the sitting area, took one look at Sakura and told her son to leave them alone. She sat down next to the young girl on the sofa. Sakura looked up at her. Tears were welling up in her eyes, and Yelan reached out a took the girl into her arms, holding her as she cried out all of her pain.

She rocked her like a small child. She knew one of the reasons Sakura was crying was her son. She also knew that her son had cried many times over the cards mistress. Though unlike Sakura, her son was a little too proud and independent to let his mother hold him.

After a little while, Sakura calmed down somewhat. Yelan sat back. "Now tell me everything" She told the girl. Sakura did just that. She took a couple of breaths before starting in on her story.

"5 years ago, I loved Syaoran so much. I believed that he loved me too. We wrote each other often, and even called each other occasionally." Yelan chuckled. "So that's where those large long distance telephone bills came from! He told me he had nothing to do with it!"

Sakura managed a small smile at that before continuing. "But then I found out that he was getting married to Meiling. I always knew that they were engaged, but I had never faced the possibility that they would get married. I was devastated. Syaoran could never be with me, and he was my reason for living. I collapsed into myself. That was why, when Eriol suggested that I needed some more training, that I asked him to teach me."

Yelan could now see where this was headed, but kept silent. "Eriol told me that he would teach me, but it would be very extensive training, that would take place over a period of five years, and that I wouldn't be able to communicate with anyone I knew at all during that five years. None of my friends, or family, no one.

"Of course, none of them wanted me to do it, but it was my decision. I had five years of training, then there would be test. I wasn't to communicate with anyone until after that test." "So technically you've broken your vow by coming here and talking to both myself and my son." Sakura nodded.

"Yes. I haven't passed the test yet. That is why I'm in Hong Kong to begin with. I had a vision, and Eriol told me that I was to come here. Before I came, I thought I would be able to handle it, but when I saw Syaoran, Oh I don't know, I need advice" She said looking up into Yelan's face imploringly.

"I see now, you aren't allowed to talk to my son, and you swore that you could do this, but you find it a lot harder than you first bargained for, and you want me to help you by telling you what to do."

Sakura nodded. Yelan looked at her. Sakura was like a daughter to her. "Sakura, I can't tell you what to do. Only you can decide that," She began softly "But I can tell you this. Follow your heart. It may not make sense now, but it will soon." Sakura stared wide eyed at her for a moment before breaking out in a grin. Her first true smile in 5 years. "Thank you!" She said throwing her arms around Yelan.

She knew what she was going to do now. Yelan looked at her. Sakura, I know it will get to be a financial strain for you if you continue to stay in a hotel, so, you may stay here if you like."

Sakura's face brightened further. "Thank you!" She said. Yelan smiled. I shall call your hotel, and tell them to bring your bags here. Sakura nodded. "You don't know what you have done for me." Yelan smiled and called Wei, telling him to take Sakura to her room.

As she followed him out of the room, Sakura stopped turning back to Yelan, "Oh may I use your phone?" Yelan nodded. "Yes. There is one in your bedroom." And as a last minuet thought she added, "Oh and Sakura," Sakura turned "Hmmm?" "Tomoyo may stay here as well if you wish." She was rewarded with a brilliant smile. "Arigato"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The next morning bright and early, Yelan sent her son to run some errands for her. "Mother, why was the door to the pink room was closed when I got up this morning?" He asked as he got into his car. She smiled "We had a guest last night, who will be staying with us for a while" She said mysteriously.

"Sakura" He breathed "Where is she now? Can I see her?" He asked Yelan smiled and shook her head, closing the door of the car, and walked back inside Syaoran shook his head and drove off cursing his mother for giving him so many chores to do this morning.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sakura was fairly trembling as she waited in the airport lobby. She looked up as she felt a hand on her shoulder. Yelan smiled encouragingly at her. "It will be fine Sakura. Don't worry so."

Sakura's head snapped up as she heard someone call her name. There was Tomoyo. She dropped her bags as the two of them started running towards each other. They ran into each others arms.

"Oh Tomoyo, I missed you so much" Sakura whispered as they let go. Tomoyo grinned. "Five years really is too long Sakura," she said her smile faltering. She pulled out her video camera. "Five whole years without Sakura footage" then she sighed. Sakura laughed and embraced her best friend again.

They walked chatting out to the car. Tomoyo pelted Sakura with questions as they drove back to the Li residence. Once they were there, she rushed Sakura up the stair's to her bedroom and bathroom.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It was after lunch by the time Syaoran actually did all of his and his mother's errand's and got home. He was unloading the car, when he stopped in the middle of the foyer.

There was someone coming down the stairs. It was Sakura, but not the Sakura he had seen twice the day before. She smiled shyly at him as she came down the stairs. The long ankle length hair was gone. It was cut about the same length that it had been when they were twelve.

It was just a little below her chin, she had two small side pig tail's, bangs and two pieces hanging down and framing her face. It looked like someone had taken a few strands here and there and bleached them, to make her hair a little bit lighter and more summery.

Her outfit was different. She was simply dressed in a short white cotton skirt and a pink tank top, but she turned them into the richest clothes ever made. He didn't realize that his mouth was hanging open until he felt someone close it. He turned to see Tomoyo standing next to him. That shocked him further, but he knew better than to let his jaw fall open again.

Then he heard his mother behind him. "Don't stand there staring Xiao Lang, the rest of my thing's need to be brought inside! Sakura will still be here when you finish" He was a little annoyed, but that wouldn't change his mother's mind.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

By the time all of his chores had been done around the house, it was supper time. He kept looking at Sakura during dinner, but she wouldn't meet his gaze. After supper he and his sister Fanren had dish duty, so they had to clean up. It was only then that he had a chance to go looking for Sakura.

He found her out in the garden. She was sitting on the bench staring up at the sky, letting the moonlight bathe her in serenity.

Sometimes it's hard to make things clear

Or know when to face the truth

And I know that the moment is here

I'll open my heart and show you inside

My love has no pride

He slowly approached and sat down next to her, his heart thumping painfully. He looked towards the moon where she was looking. "It was said in ancient time's that when a man and a women sat together under a moon such as this, they would be bonded forever in love."

I feel with you I've got nothing to hide

So open your eyes and see who I am

And not who you want for me to be

I am only myself, myself

She bowed her head. "There will never be any such thing for me" He could she tears glistening on her cheeks in the moonlight. Syaoran was speaking directly from his heart now. He lifted her chin. "I don't think you're giving yourself a chance"

I don't wanna lose you now

we're gonna get through somehow

I don't wanna lose you now, or ever

'Cause baby I've finally found

The courage to stand my ground

But if you want me,

I'll be around, forever

Her heart was racing now, as she stared into his deep amber eyes. There was something there, and her head was screaming for her to run, but her heart was screaming that she stay.

We all make mistakes, We all lose our way

But we stood the test of time, and I hope

That's the way it stay

It's all up to you, to tell me to go

'Cause it won't be me to walk away

When you're all that I know

And I know that

Syaoran looked at Sakura. He could see the fear and anguish mirrored in her eyes, and he knew she was going to run. There was nothing he could say to change her mind. She stood up and began backing away from him. Then she turned and ran. Syaoran turned his face up to the moon.

I don't wanna lose you now

we're gonna get through somehow

I don't wanna lose you now, or ever

'Cause baby I've finally found

The courage to stand my ground

"But if you want me, I'll be around..... forever" With that Syaoran got up and went back inside the house.

But if you want me,

I'll be around, Forever
