Clow: Well, I have to trust you on this one Touya(
KKC: Anyway, Here's my next chapter! Hope you'll like it! (
Disclaimer... KKC doesn't own CCS or the Char. In that particular anime... if any names were used and the same with the reader's, I'm telling you now it is all coincidental... by the way the song I used on the previous chapter is by Aaron Carter... I forgot to put that tiny detail... hehe
Chapter 7 Fallen hearts... maybe... who knows?
"Tomoyo... do you think Sakura would be there...? I mean we gave her the letter and all... we recorded the song, we prepared everything... but why isn't she here?" Meilin asked as they entered Tomoyo's house
"Be a little more patient... if she can't come, the phone would ring right ... about... now!" Tomoyo said as she pointed at her own cell phone.
"It's not ringi- Meilin was cut off when Tomoyo's cell phone started to beep Tomoyo answered the phone then her eyes grew in horror as the person on the other line started to talk
"Tomoyo, it's me Touya... Sakura can't go to the party you were talking about..." Touya said sounding a little bit troubled
"Why?" Meilin mouthed as Tomoyo shrugged
"My sister is now confined in the hospital" Touya said before he hung up.
"Masaka..." Tomoyo disagreed before she placed her cell phone down on her bed The pale moonless night seemed so serene and peaceful as the darkness felt its way through the school grounds. Li looked out of the window and searched around, he was very sure he heard something, but nothing was within the reach of his eye not even in the trees. The school garden was still and not a wind blew, it was queer and eerie. Li sighed and placed his head back in the room as he stared at the letter still hanging on the mirror.
"I wonder who sent it?" Li asked himself as he reached for it. He opened it and read the written paper, his eyes following the words:
Li,
Meet me at Penguin Park tonight at exactly 11:00pm, don't be late, and don't bring anyone...
Signed,
Anonymous Li read the letter again, trying to find clues on who sent it, but realized that he won't know until he gets to Penguin Park.
Sakura's POV
As I gaze outside my window, searching for a certain light, I pity myself for being so weak, for letting my friends down and for pushing him into the shadows... it's just that I can't take it, he said he would return but when he did... it was to late... I'm not the person he used to know... I don't even think he knows me... but I have this strange feeling that I'm not sure about, a strange feeling regarding him and that girl who looks like me... the way he smiles at her, the way they hold hands... it pierced my heart seeing them together... but to cover my weakness and this feeling, I started to act like I hate him and I started to ignore him... wait... is this what they call jealousy? I wonder... when I touched my cheek it was damp... what are these? Tears? Flowing... for who? For him? No it can't be.... I don't even think he cares about me... he must have gave up on me a long time ago... a time before he left... I shuddered at the very thought of him turning his back at me... ignoring how I felt, ignoring my very existence... but isn't that what I'm doing to him... the very same experience... all those harsh words, those cold gaze... it's not like me... before it seemed like I knew everything... but now, it's different, this time I only know is that, that I care about him... the way he looks into my eyes, the very same eyes I have drowned in... the soothing sound of his voice comforting me when I was sad, the warmth I receive when he cuddles me closely in his arms... but it's over now... he doesn't need me... he has a new life, he has moved on, he has everything he wanted... fame, glory, a person to love and a person who loves him dearly... not a person like me... maybe I had been erased from his life... forever... I stood from my place and went to the window, suddenly I had an urge to sing...
Jealous of the girl who caught your eye
One of my darker days
When you looked at her where was I?
Shoulda been in her place
Here I am
All alone imagining what could have been
If I had been there
I looked out my window and saw a single star shining brightly over the night... as I thought of him looking my way then finally looking ahead of him... finally showing me that we weren't meant to be...
Jealous of the one whose arms are around you
If she's keeping you satisfied
Jealous of the one who finally found you
Made your sun and your stars collide
La la la la la la la
She's a very very lucky girl
La la la la la la la
Yes, that girl must be really lucky that she has met him... but why do I feel so bitter inside? Jealousy is such a strong feeling... I hate it...
Jealous of the one who won your heart
They say it's a perfect match
She's gonna get to be where you are
And I don't get better than that
She'll say you're fine
Whisper words I wish were mine
And they might have been
If I had been there
Jealousy, the feeling that can tear the world apart within seconds... the strange feeling of hatred, maybe it's cousin... Love to jealousy then to hate...
Jealous of the one whose arms are around you
If she's keeping you satisfied
Jealous of the one who finally found you
Made your sun and your stars collide
La la la la la la la
She's a very very lucky girl
La la la la la la la
Just thinking about that certain feeling made me shudder at my own expense... the only thing that stood between love and hate is that simple word...
You know I'd fight the good fight
If I thought I'd change your mind
But if she makes you happy
I would leave that dream behind
Man, she better treat you right
And give you everything
Cause at the moment she doesn't
I'll be waiting in the wings
But if this is my destiny, then so be it... if this would be my fate then there's nothing I can do about it...
Jealous of the one whose arms are around you
If she's keeping you satisfied
Jealous of the one who finally found you
Made your sun and your stars collide
La la la la la la la
She's a very very lucky girl
La la la la la la la
It's final...
La la la la la la la
Nothing can change that...
She's a very very lucky girl I'm sure of it... As my voice faded into the night, I imagined him standing there and gazing over the stars...
Normal POV
"Well, here I am in Penguin park... waiting..." Li told himself "Now what?" Li stood in the center of the park, looking for any sign of movement... he listened closely for any breathing, but the place was quiet... too quiet
"Syaoran-kun? Is that you?" A familiar voice called out
"Tsamei?" He replied as a sign that he was near her
"Syaoran-kun..." Tsamei said as her face became visible under the moon "I'm sorry I dragged you here in the middle of the night... it's just that, I'm worried..."
"Worried?" Li repeated in a questionable manner "Why?"
"Well, because, ever since Meilin declared us a pair of love birds, you seem disturbed... don't you like me?" Tsamei asked
"Maybe or maybe not... you see, you look a lot like the girl I used to like and a while ago I thought she must've heard me dedicate that song to her..."
"And you thought she was the one who sent you the letter..."Tsamei finished for him
"Sort of..."
"And I thought you even cared about me... you only liked me because you were forced to.."
"No..."
"Did you know how much I suffered because of this fake relationship?!" Tsamei asked as she bursted out in tears "I had to give up my other relationship just for you... and this is what I get?! A big fat lie?!"
"No... you don't understand... I didn't force you to be my girlfriend... I didn't even think about having another relationship with anyone besides her..." Li explained
"Sakura... you have visitors" The nurse said as she allowed two girls in the hospital room
"Sakura-chan!" Tomoyo greeted "How did this happen?"
"Tomoyo-chan! I... um... got"
"Spit it out Kinomoto!" Meilin said smiling
"I coughed blood on the car seat while me and oni chan were on our way to the party..."
"Oh my gosh..." Meilin gasped as she walked closer to Sakura with a few tears in her eyes
"No... no... it's not your fault..." Sakura reassured her
"I'm not worried it might be my fault, I'm worried about the clipboard here, it said that you might get confined here for more than three weeks if you won't get better..."
"Girls... Sakura needs rest now..." The nurse said to them as she entered the room.
"Can we bring Sakura for a stroll in the park... please... our wish before we leave?" Tomoyo begged
"Alright, but you shouldn't stay too long..." The nurse agreed reluctantly
"Arrigato" Tomoyo and Meilin thanked in unison as Sakura smiled at them Tomoyo went to the main lobby to ask for a temporary release of a patient in room 623, while Meilin went to the hospital closet to get Sakura's casual clothes. When Sakura was finally dressed and the temporary release had been signed, Tomoyo and Meilin took Sakura out of the hospital and into Penguin Park.
"Tomoyo chan, Meilin chan... thank you..." She said as they walked with each other through the park.
"Sakura, um... I... have a question... do you mind?" Tomoyo asked
"Iie" Sakura shook her head as Meilin looked at Tomoyo intensely
"Li kun..." Tomoyo started "do you still like him?"
"Um... I don't know..." Sakura said doubtfully
"Why do you ask?" Meilin suddenly questioned
"Nothing much... just making sure..." Tomoyo said as she looked up to the skies Tsamei stared at the ground for a while, waiting for Li to speak.
"Look, Tsamei... I know you gave up everything for me... but do you think it is worth it...? To give up everything and just go with what the others tell you to?" Li asked concernedly
"I didn't give up everything because of force... I gave it up just for you... don't you understand why I'm here, why I came into your life?" Tsamei said as she gaze into Li's brown eyes
"I'm sorry... but what you are looking for... I can't give it to you..." Li looked at her calmly as she backed away a few steps.
"But... But..." She said reluctantly as she stopped in her tracks
"I know... it's hard to understand, but you have to forgive me..." Tsamei couldn't understand why he was pushing her aside... is it because she wasn't there for him...? Tsamei turned around, letting her back face him.
"I'm so sorry..." as he took few steps towards her He sighed when he realized that Tsamei needed some time alone and that she needed to understand fully what he had just explained, He turned around and started to walk away, when suddenly Tsamei ran towards him and slid her arms around his waist, hugging him
"Don't go... don't leave me..." Tsamei timidly said "Don't give up on me... please... I... I... can be like her... I promise"
Li, still shocked from what she is currently doing didn't answer, when he heard a rustle in the bushes somewhere.
"Li-kun..." Tomoyo acknowledged with a little surprised tone in her voice.
"So this is what you had been doing, while we were gone..." Meilin said
"It's not what you think!" Li explained as he looked at them intently, until a shadow behind Tomoyo had moved and ran away
"Sakura-chan!" Tomoyo called out to the running girl Li widened with horror as his own thoughts filled his head. 'She was with them?! Then there's no denial that she saw us... I feel horrible' Tsamei had let go on Li's waist as she ran towards Meilin. Everyone stood in his or her position as the rain started to shower...
"Meilin! We need to find Sakura-chan! She might get hurt under this rain! She might cough blood again!" Tomoyo remembered as she ran towards the direction Sakura had ran through
"Right!" Meilin replied as she signaled Tsamei to go home first. Tsamei nodded and made one last look at Li before she left. Li, caught up in his own thoughts, didn't notice everyone leave. 'Cough blood?' He thought, then it hit him, Sakura was sick! Really sick! Li started to run, searching for her. His mind was so clear, the only image to see was the image of Sakura smiling... th very image that was burning in his mind, telling him he needs to find her... quickly, before he would commit the mistake of losing her... again...
