Chapter 4 friendly advice to use and the change in me
Sakura just looked at him in his intensive amber eyes for a minute. Then Sakura's eyes turned into a glare.
"Syaoran you don't love me you got that?" growled Sakura.
"No. I don't Sakura. What is wrong with me loving you?" replied Syaoran putting his hands on her shoulder with a firm grip.
Sakura shook her head and then said "What your saying isn't true! You just saying that to make me feel better."
"No it's not Sakura. What I'm telling you right now is true. All these words are coming from the bottom of my heart."
Sakura shook her head furiously while trying to get out of Syaoran's grip. But Syaoran wouldn't let her go.
*********
Tomoyo and Eriol were all ready out of the restaurant and were both holding umbrella's in front of the park entrance.
"Tomoyo are you sure Sakura and Syaoran will be here?" asked Eriol.
"I'm sure. Whenever Sakura has a problem she always ends up in a park for some reason." replied Tomoyo.
"Why don't we give them ten more minutes then look for them." asked Eriol.
"Sure why not." answered Tomoyo.
"Do you think ever thing will be alright.?" asked Tomoyo.
"When anything happens with those two it will be alright Tomoyo. Just watch and see.
**********
"Sakura tell me why are you acting like this?" asked Syaoran.
"I'm not acting Syaoran! Just listen to me.. You and me will never work out."
"Why not. You keep saying that but you never tell me why? You have never given US a chance."
Sakura looked at him with tears in her eyes. Then she turned her head and whispered "Syaoran just listen to me we were meant to be friends and friends alone... nothing more... You keep saying that you love me but you don't and I know so... To fall in love takes time...Not over night when two people are drunk...When we were drunk there was no meaning in it. So how can you say what you mean....."
Syaoran just looked at her taking everything she just said. After he took in every single word she said he took his right hand and held her chin. His right hand and her head moved so that Sakura was now looking at him with tears in her eyes. The next thing Syaoran did was kiss Sakura with all the passion he had for a brief moment which seemed time had stopped for him. After that kissed he asked "Sakura that kiss that I gave you right now was filled with love and passion something I have never given to someone but you.. Now look me in the eye and tell me that what I just did was not full of love."
**********
Ten minutes has passed by so Tomoyo and Eriol went inside the park to find Syaoran and Sakura.
*********
Sakura looked him in the eye. Her mouth opened to say what was in her head but nothing came out. She felt Syaoran's grip on her loosened so instead of answering Syaoran she just ran away.
Syaoran stood in the rain looking at Sakura run. He didn't even bother to go after her for he felt that she should sort out what he just said. All of the sudden Syaoran felt dry like there were no more rain pouring down on him.
"Syaoran are you all right?" asked Tomoyo standing next to him with the umbrella in her hand.
Syaoran didn't bother to look at her but nodded.
"Tomoyo you and Syaoran can go home with the car now I'll go and look for Sakura." said Eriol walking out of their sight looking for Sakura.
"Come on Syaoran we can talk at your house." replied Tomoyo as both of them went to the car and headed to Syaoran's house.
******
Sakura ran till she couldn't anymore which wasn't far from were she and Syaoran were since she was wearing sandals. She stood standing in the rain with her eyes closed feeling the touch of the rain. Her eyes opened when she didn't feel the rain upon her.
"Sakura your gonna get sick." replied Eriol.
"Eriol.. please not now.." whispered Sakura.
"Okay you don't have to talk to me but let's walk home I think it would be good for you to sort your problems out. And I'm just to keep you company."
"Alright then let's go." So Sakura and Eriol started to walk home.
******
Tomoyo and Syaoran were at his house. Syaoran was sitting on the couch with tea in his hands and a blanket covering him. Tomoyo sat across him drinking her tea. Tomoyo just looked at Syaoran trying to find a way to talk to Syaoran. They got to Syaoran's home half an hour ago and Syaoran said nothing he just kept a stare sipping his tea.
"Syaoran you do know you have to talk about it sooner or later." said Tomoyo looking at her tea.
Syaoran said nothing he just drank his tea. After a couple minutes of silence he said "I told her I loved her."
Tomoyo's looked at Syaoran waiting for him to go on.
"But she keeps denying that I love her.... I asked her why does she keep saying that and all she said that we were only meant to be friends and friends only." said Syaoran not wanting to tell her about what Sakura and him both did on the weekends.
"That's highly unlike Sakura." replied Tomoyo.
"I know Tomoyo. I know. I gave her a kiss and told her that it was full of passion and love. All of the sudden she ran away. "
"Syaoran I think that you and I both know that she will tell you the answer when she is ready."
"But Tomoyo I can't wait for her answer that long."
"Don't worry I bet you she is thinking about it right now." replied Tomoyo.
*********
Eriol and Sakura were walking along on the sidewalk going home. it has been silent the all through the walk. The only thing that you would hear are the cars passing by, the rain pouring itself on every thing and the sounds of the water being stepped on.
"Sakura you do know it would be best if you talked it out with some one so they can give you an advice on how to deal with what your going through." said Eriol.
"I'm confused" was all Sakura said.
"Well why don't you tell me what your confused about and I'll see what I can do about it."
"Confused about everything"
"Does this have to do with Syaoran Sakura?"
Sakura nodded.
"Then why don't you tell me what happened at the park?"
Sakura said nothing for a while just thinking about what happened. Sakura let out a ter letting it fall to the ground. Then she said "He told me he loved me..."
"Okay go on." replied Eriol not sure why she would be confused about it.
"I said that what he is saying isn't true.. He kept telling me it was true.. I told him that we are only friends nothing more.... He gave me a kiss.. and said that it was full of love and passion."
"Did you feel that love and passion Sakura?" asked Eriol.
"That's one of the places where I'm confused at. I'm not sure I felt it."
"Did you tell him that."
"No I ran away."
"So what else are you confused about Sakura?"
"Nothing more.." lied Sakura. She didn't want to talk about happened on the weekends cause she wasn't in the mood.
"Then why don't you tell Syaoran what you told me. That your confused and your not sure if you felt it."
"Eriol maybe your right... Thanks a lot for helping me."
"Sure thing." said Eriol as they arrived in front of their homes. Sakura and Eriol bid their good night's and went inside the house.
When Sakura came inside she saw Tomoyo on the couch and saw Syaoran headed to his room.
"Hi Sakura are you feeling better?" asked Tomoyo.
"Yeah I am Tomoyo. Eriol is already at home." replied Sakura.
"Ok Sakura goodnight."
"Good night Tomoyo." said Sakura and Tomoyo left.
Sakura went inside her room and laid on the bed. After a couple of minutes she slowly drifted to sleep.
************
Tomoyo came inside her house to see Eriol reading a book in the living room. Tomoyo looked at the clock and it read 11:34.
"Eriol why are you still up I thought you would be up sleeping." said Tomoyo as she walked towards Eriol and sat on his lap. Eriol closed the book he was reading and kissed Tomoyo on the forehead then said "I have to make sure you both come home don't I." as he put his hand on Tomoyo's stomach.
"Come one let's go to bed." replied Tomoyo.
*******
Morning.
Sakura woke up at 5:00 and got dressed for she knew that if she woke up at 6:30 she would see Syaoran and she didn't want to see him. Sakura made herself breakfast with a cereal, a muffin, and orange juice. Sakura wrote a note telling Syaoran that she went to work early and she will be leaving early also and clipped it on the fridge. Then Sakura left. Sakura has done this for a week and five days now ever since the incident at the park.
*****
Syaoran woke up at 6:30 as usual. Syaoran got dressed and headed to the kitchen. He made oatmeal and ate it. he looked at the fridge and saw the note so he puts his bowl in the sink and left for work.
****
Tomoyo stayed at home to finish some more of the house work while Eriol went to see both Sakura and Syaoran for the big night.
*****Sakura's Office*****
Sakura was looking at the view of the town from her window sitting down on her chair. She stopped working two hours ago cause she finished all her paper works that was needed to be over looked. Every time she looks outside her office it seems to relax her that she continued to think about what Eriol had told her on that night.
"Then why don't you tell Syaoran what you told me. That your confused and your not sure if you felt it."
"Should I tell him or not...." Sakura said out loud not knowing that Eriol was in the room with Syaoran.
"Tell who what Sakura?" asked Syaoran.
Sakura turned around and was about to say something but Eriol got to speak first. "Syaoran you don't have to worry about it Sakura was going to give me a message right Sakura and you were not sure if you should."
"Yeah that was it. Eriol Tomoyo said that if it's not to much trouble could you pick her up a few things." lied Sakura looking down at her papers.
"Sure what is it." asked Eriol.
Sakura scribbled a thank you on the paper and gave it to Eriol. Eriol looked at the paper and said "Now I know it's best that you didn't tell me about this. Anyways I need to speak to the both of you about tonight."
"Okay so why don't you both just sit on the chairs." suggested Sakura. So Syaoran and Eriol sat on the seats in front of Sakura's desk.
"Ok as you all know you have to attend together because I already told them about you two. And that you both have to be together for the first three hours there. Ladies must wear dresses of course and the men must wear a tux" Eriol began.
"Wait didn't you say it was two hours." asked Sakura.
"Well they changed it. Anyways Dancing is a must and then if your not dancing you both still have to be together." Lied Eriol it was just that he wanted them to have an extra hour together, since Sakura has been ignoring Syaoran almost for two weeks.
"As you al know you both have to leave together also. So be ready at eight ."
"Okay." both Sakura and Syaoran said.
"Well now that we got that cleared up I better get going and get Tomoyo her stuff. See you both tonight here's the address" said Eriol giving Syaoran the slip of paper. Then left the office. There was silence in the room. Sakura was looking at Syaoran and it was the same with Syaoran. Finally Syaoran spoke "Sakura how long are you gonna ignore me"
"What are you talking about?"
"you haven't talked to me for almost two weeks."
"Oh.. that, well sorry I was pretty busy."
"At least I know that your not mad at me since were talking. Well I got to get back to work I'll see you later." replied Syaoran heading to the door.
"Yeah besides I'm getting off work already. So.. bye." replied Sakura sitting back down on her chair putting her things away.
For almost two weeks now Sakura has been ignoring Syaoran. Every time Syaoran wanted to talk to Sakura, Sakura would always say that she's busy or that she's needs rest. She hasn't been to happy seeing him and was not really happy being alone because of what Chen did to her. Every time Sakura came home from work Chen would leave messages saying that he realized it was wrong of him to do that. And was hoping that one day he they could get back together.
Sakura got her things packed and left the building to eat lunch at home and then go over to Tomoyo's house.
********
Chen put the phone down after he called Sakura's house. Ever since that incident he has been apologizing everyday and was hoping that one day they can get back together.
"What's wrong dear?" asked the woman who was from the restaurant at that night. She came up behind Chen and was hugging him with her hands on his chest.
"Oh nothings wrong. So you don't have to worry about." said Chen turning around to meet his wonderful girl. And giving her a kiss on her forehead. Then he lead her to his room.
*************
Xie Xie was with at a cafe' with one of her friends.
"So how's everything going with you and him?" asked Youtsugi Chigau sipping her tea.
"Everything is going good." replied Xie Xie.
"Are you sure? My friend who works in his company overheard that he is going to break up with you."
"I doubt that when I have been busy doing things."
"But you do know one day he will talk to you about it."
"No he wont. Not until I talk first. After he listens to what I say. he wont leave my side."
***********
(sorry but I have to skip the afternoon so it's night time right now.)
It was 7:30 and every one (Tomoyo, Sakura, Syaoran, and Eriol) were all getting ready to got to the so called 'banquet'. Eriol and Syaoran both decided that they should have two car going to the house instead of all of them riding in one car.
Of course all men had to wear a tuxedo so Syaoran and Eriol wore a tux. They were both waiting on the couch for Tomoyo to make her finishing touch-ups on Sakura. After ten minutes of waiting Tomoyo and Sakura cam downstairs to greet them. Tomoyo was wearing a purple spaghetti strap dress that went up to her ankles that had a slit on the left side of the dress. With a matching dark purple sandals, and her hair was tied up in a bun with light make-up on her face. Sakura was wearing a long light pink dress that went all the way to her ankles and has two slits on both sides of the dress that went a little above the knees. Sakura was wearing pink sandals, and wore light make-up. Sakura's hair was let down that was a shining all the way down to her mid-back. Syaoran looked at Sakura at awe but didn't plan on showing it.
"Let's go." said Eriol going to Tomoyo and taking her by the arm. Sakura and Syaoran just followed behind not saying a word to each other.
Tomoyo and Eriol went in their car and drove off. Sakura and Syaoran followed behind. During the ride to the house both Sakura and Syaoran were both silent. Syaoran wanted to talk to Sakura so badly but he knew that if he started to talk Sakura would drop all subjects. Sakura was looking at the window still thinking about whether or not she should tell Syaoran. Ever since that night that is all she could think about nothing else. Then something hit Sakura. Something Tomoyo said when they were upstairs in Tomoyo and Eriol's room getting ready for the big night they were going to.
*****Flashback*****
"Sakura are you ever gonna talk to Syaoran?" asked Tomoyo looking gloomy at her friend.
"Tomoyo if I do talk to him he might ask me about that night." replied Sakura.
"You know Syaoran and I talked about it when I was at your house. His faced looked sad and confused."
"Why would he be confused?" asked Sakura.
"I don't really know. I only know that his sad because you still didn't tell him what you thought about that kiss. I mean it was the first time he actually kissed you so I don't know."
"Tomoyo I have to tell you something you promise not to tell?"
"Sure Sakura what is it?"
""It's not the first time, the other times we both kissed each other was when we were drunk and I need some advice."
"What!? Okay. I guess my advice would be like what anyone would say to you. Trust what you heart says and listen to feelings you get when your around him do not listen or do what you think or what the mind says. So basically it's just listen to what your inside feels more sure and safe about." (you have to listen to this advice I made myself. Trust me it works cause I had to learn it the hard way. When it happened to me)
*****End of flashback*****
*****Tomoyo and Eriol****
"Eriol dear are you sure this will work? I mean there is no such rule is there?" asked Tomoyo.
"It will work just trust me. They wont know that they don't have to be together. besides it's a good way for Sakura to forgive and forget." replied Eriol.
"I don't understand?"
"You know today I went to their building and told them some rules were changed. Instead of two hours I made it three." smiled Eriol.
********
After 15 more minutes of driving they finally reached the mansion owned by the Kiatsu's. They parked their car in the front and gave the keys to the valet people. Tomoyo and Eriol walked up to the door arm in arm waiting for Sakura and Syaoran. Syaoran walked up to Sakura with a smile not saying anything but his arm out. Sakura just looked at him for a minute and made a small smile and took his am. Then headed up to the door.
When they entered the big brown doors. Tomoyo and Sakura gasped at what they saw. There were a lot of people wearing elegant clothing and such.
"Wow this place is like a fairytale or something." whispered Sakura.
"Just wait till we see some more mansions that look like this Sakura." replied Tomoyo.
"You mean were gonna go to more of these banquets?" asked Sakura.
"Yup" was all Tomoyo said.
Eriol looked at Tomoyo and smiled at her radiant beauty.
"May I have the honor of dancing with such a beautiful lady?" asked Eriol as he took Tomoyo's hand and kissed it. Tomoyo giggled and nodded. Then they headed to the dance to the slow waltz.
"Um.. Sakura would like to dance?" whispered Syaoran. Sakura looked at him and said "Sure why not? We are supposed to dance anyways." and they headed to the dance floor. When they reached the dance floor Sakura decided to take Tomoyo's advice for tonight and sees what happens. So instead of thinking she did what she felt her heart told her. Sakura put her arms around his neck and rested her head on his chest. Syaoran was a little shock at what she did. Wasn't she supposed to be mad at him? After a few seconds he wrapped his arms around Sakura's waist and danced to the music.
******Sakura's thought's****
Tomoyo was right. I should listen to my heart and what I feel. So does this mean I love Syaoran if I feel warm and happy if his arms are around me? Who knows maybe I can find the answers that I'm looking for tonight.
*********
They both danced and danced until Sakura got tired. So she insisted that they go out in the gardens before they ate. So sat on a bench that was underneath a Cherry blossom tree. Syaoran sat next to her.
"Syaoran doesn't the moon look beautiful?" asked Sakura looking up at the full moon. Syaoran looked at her than at the moon and said "Yup the moon is sure beautiful....Sakura why all of the sudden are you talking to me?" Sakura looked at him and smiled.
"Do you prefer that I don't talk to you?"
"no. It's just that why the sudden change."
"To tell you the truth Syaoran I don't know why either. I guess it's the advice that Tomoyo and Eriol gave me."
"What kind of advice did Eriol give?"
"Eriol told me that I should tell you what I told him about the kiss you gave me. Syaoran when you gave me that kiss that night I didn't know what to do or how I felt about that's why I ran away. I was confused. I mean you still didn't break up with Xie Xie even though you said you would."
"Sakura I tried many times to break up with her it's just that I never got a chance to contact her. Sakura I understand why you would be confused about it and-" said Syaoran looking at Sakura.
"Syaoran no more talking please. I think I found away to answer my confused question." whispered Sakura as she turned to Syaoran and leaned in closer to his face putting her hand on his face. For a kiss. Their lips touched. Syaoran was shocked at first because of the way she was acting but slowly deepened the kiss with a lot of passion.
******
Tomoyo and Eriol were looking for Syaoran and Sakura cause it was time to eat and they wee gathering people up. As they entered the garden they saw Syaoran and Sakura kissing.
Tomoyo smiled and replied "Your plan did work. I'm so happy for them."
"I know and this all happened before dinner. Come on let's go get them." said Eriol walking up to the couple. As they were a couple of yards away from Syaoran and Sakura Eriol said " My, my aren't we getting a little cozy." Syaoran and Sakura stopped kissing and looked at Eriol an Tomoyo. Both Syaoran and Sakura were all red from the embarrassment except for Syaoran he was angrier that they interrupted them.
Tomoyo was laughing at the way they were acting and said "Sorry to interrupt but everyone is preparing for dinner. So I think it would be best if we head inside."
"Yeah sure Tomoyo we'll be right there." said Sakura. Tomoyo and Eriol were going back inside laughing.
When Eriol and Tomoyo went inside Syaoran said "Shall we go in Sakura?" as he let out his arm for Sakura to take.
Sakura took hold of his arm and gave him a kiss on the cheek, then said "Sure why not it's the least we can do." So they walked out of the garden and went inside to join everyone else. When they walked into this large room they saw a long table seating everyone who came to tonight's banquet. Sakura saw Tomoyo waving her hand at Sakura and Syaoran so that they both could seat together. Eriol sat at next to Mr. Kaitsu who was sitting at on of the ends on the table. Tomoyo sat next to him and Sakura sat next to her which meant that Syaoran sat next to Sakura. (this is for you reference)
As everyone waited for the waiter's to arrive with their food people at the table began to talk business. Except for Sakura and Syaoran they were talking about something else.
"So Syaoran how are you gonna break the news to Xie Xie?" asked Sakura. Syaoran looked at her then said "When I get a hold of her were gonna have a long talk and that's when I'll tell her it's over. By the way what kind of advice did Tomoyo tell you?"
"Tomoyo told me that I should listen to whatever my heart, and listen to what feels right. And being with you right now is something my heart is telling to do. Even though my mind says it's not gonna work out." said Sakura as she gave him another kiss on the cheek. Little did they know that Youtsugi also attended that banquet and was sitting across Syaoran and Sakura, who happened to be hearing the conversation. Youtsugi excused her self from the table since the food was not ready so she went out to the garden and took out her cell phone.
"Hello?" asked Xie Xie.
"Hi, Xie Xie it's me I got something big jus for you." replied Youtsugi.
"Ok what is it?"
"Well you know that I am attending this banquet for that company get together right?"
"Yeah. But what does this have to do with me?"
"It's just so happens that Syaoran is attending the banquet also."
"Really why didn't he tell me about."
"Maybe it's because he is here with another girl."
"Can you describe the girl he is with tonight."
"Let's see. Auburn hair, emerald eyes and-"
"Don't sat anymore I know who it is. it's Sakura. What are they doing?"
"Well by the looks of what I saw Syaoran and that girl Sakura seems to be a couple."
"Don't worry they wont be a couple for long. I'll just give them two days to be happy with each other then that's the time I'll rip them apart. Thanks for telling me Youtsugi. I got to go. bye"
"Bye." So Youtsugi hung up her phone and went back inside. Just in time for them to eat.
