Chapter Two : One of the best -

You mean all that planning was for nothing? What are you going to do?
I have another plan. This one will surely work.
That's what you said about the first one!
The girl... I thought it was possible for her to let her guard down, but there is too much hope inside of her. I cannot reach her soul.
Have you even tried yet?
No. I do not need to, to know.
So you say you have a plan?
Yes.
Well... What is it?
To destroy her hope, of course.

Sakura yawned hugely as she finished the last problem in her math homework. She was starting to get better at it, yet it still left her exhausted. She usually had Syaoran help her over the phone (He was much better at math than she was.), but there was no answer when she called. He must have been out, she thought as she put her finished homework in her backpack and brushed her teeth.
It had been quite a long day. At school earlier, she had felt a strange presence. She turned around and saw Kurohana behind her. Tomoyo popped up just and invited them both for ice cream. Not only was the presence odd, but also Kurohana had asked Sakura a very strange question.
"You love someone, don't you?" She asked out of the blue just after Tomoyo left for the bathroom.
"Uh... Yes, I do actually." Sakura said as she felt herself blush.
"But you cannot see him, right? He lives very far away?"
"Yeah... He does, actually." Sakura replied, taken aback by Kurohana's knowledge.
"I have a feeling, you will be seeing him very soon," Kurohana said with a faint smile.
"Kinomoto-san, do you mind if I call you Sakura-chan?"
"No, not at all." Sakura replied, smiling.
Just then Tomoyo appeared behind Sakura with her usual grin.
"I am very sorry Kurohana-san. We need to get going. Something very important just came up."
Kurohana smiled at Tomoyo and got up.
"It was very nice talking to you both. Daidouji-san. May I please call you Tomoyo-chan? And could you both call me Misaki? It would mean a lot to me." She said with a smile.
"Of course, Misaki-chan." replied Tomoyo, "Well, bye then."

As soon as Misaki walked off, Tomoyo grabbed Sakura's wrist and started running, pulling a very confused Sakura along with her.
"Where are we going?" she asked as they ran.
"You'll see!" Tomoyo replied as they ran in the direction of the Penguin King Park.

Yes. This plan will work; though a small... risk must be taken. Everything will turn out just fine. You will have what you desire, my master.

As they got closer to the park, Sakura noticed someone standing by the slide. Someone familiar. A certain messy-haired someone...
Sakura stopped. Syaoran was faced the other direction, so he did not see her. She hardly dared to believe it. She looked at Tomoyo, who was smiling at her.
"Go on, Sakura-chan." she whispered softly.
Sakura, still unable to believe who was standing just a few yards away from her, edged forward. Tears were welling up in her eyes. She started to run to him. He turned around and smiled at her. It was him. Her beloved Syaoran. She stopped about five feet away from him.
"Syaoran-kun..." She said, barely able to speak.
"It's good to see you again, Sakura," He said with that same warm smile she missed too much. She couldn't handle it anymore. She leaped into his arms.
"I missed you so much!" she exclaimed, half laughing.
"I missed you too, Sakura." Syaoran said, also laughter in his voice, "I'm sorry I didn't call or anything. I wanted to surprise you."

Tomoyo, Sakura, and Syaoran sat together later until sunset at the park, talking about what had been happening since Syaoran left. He himself also shared some stories about his work in Hong Kong.
"So, Syaoran-kun. How long are you staying?" Sakura asked.
"As long as I can. I already rented the old apartment again, so it'll probably be for a while." He replied.
Tomoyo suddenly looked at her watch.
"I need to head home. My mother is expecting me. We're having dinner together tonight. Li-kun. Why don't you walk Sakura-chan home?"
"Bye-bye, Tomoyo-chan. See you tomorrow at school."
"Bye." Tomoyo said with a smile as she walked to the street, where a limo had arrived to pick her up.
"Syaoran-kun, did Tomoyo-chan arrange this whole thing?" Sakura asked as Tomoyo's limo took her away
"We both did," He replied, "Daidouji-san really is a kind person."
"Yeah. I'm glad I have you both as friends." Sakura said.

"So you haven't felt any strange auras or anything?" Syaoran asked Sakura as they walked down the sidewalk to her house, hand in hand.
"Nope. Except for Misaki-chan, though. But I don't think it's really anything important."
"I hope not."
They reached Sakura's house.
"Well, I'll see you at school tomorrow, right Syaoran-kun?"
"Yeah."
"It was really good seeing you again."
"It was. I really missed you."
"I did too. Well, Bye then."
"Wait."
"Hm?"
Syaoran leaned forward and kissed her on the forehead.
"Bye, Sakura." He said softly.
"S-see you tomorrow." Sakura said, unable to contain her smile.

"Kero-chaaaan! Guess what?" Sakura asked an irritated Kero after loosing his game.
"What're you all hyped up about now?" He asked her, half his attention still on the game.
"Syaoran-kun is back! And he's going to stay for a while!"
"The brat, huh?" Kero said, his attention now completely on Sakura, "Well, I'm glad you're happy, but..."
"Kero-chan," Sakura said to him, "Syaoran-kun isn't a "brat". He's really, really nice once you get to know him."
"I've gotten to know him, and I don't like him."
"You're not still angry about when you two first met, are you?"
"No way. I just think he's a brat."
Sakura, choosing to ignore Kero's last remark, flopped onto her bed and hugged her Syaoran teddy bear.
This is one of the best days of my life!
