       J: I'm sorry for making them fight...

       Last scene:

            "Yukito!" Syaoran stared at his cousin. "I'll go talk to her when she calms down a bit. She won't hear a word I'm saying right now anyways."

       "You better, before it's too late."

Chapter 13

       The next day, Sakura headed into the office and started packing her stuffs. She decided to leave the company. 'I'm not ready for this after all... job is too much for me." Sakura convinced her self with a senseless reason. She knew deep inside, there's something else, something about this 'visitor unknown'.

       "Sakura?" Rika and Chiharu walked over to her. "Why are you packing? You moved to another department?"

       "No, I'm leaving... my cousin they, uh, found another job for me." Sakura smiled her sweet one. "I'll miss you guys so much..." She hugged them.

       "You're... why!" asked Rika.

       "This job, it's not... what I really wanted..." Sakura's tears seemed had dried up since yesterday, she would definitely cry on such an occasion if it was before, but it wasn't before no more. 'I'll not cry, not again.'

       "Sakura!" a cold voice said from the door.

       Sakura turned around and saw Syaoran staring at her, he had a brown envelope gripped in his left hand. "Yes?" Sakura said flatly.

       "My office, we need to talk." He said shortly and left.

       "Sakura… gave him a change to explain at least..."

       "I'll." Sakura gave the girls another smile. "But I'll not forgive him." She said coolly. Yesterday had changed her life totally. She cried out all the tears in her life, and blew away all the childishness that lingered around her all these time.

       "Do you want to talk to me, Mr. Li?" Sakura knocked on the door of Syaoran's office and entered.

       She used his last name instead. It lengthened the distance between them by miles with just that one word. "What's this?" he threw an envelop on the table and asked.

       "I found that I'm not that really suit for this job, so I decided to try something new." Sakura answered. 'How did he gets it? I thought I gave it to Yukito...'

       "Is it because of me?" Syaoran's voice softened, "can I explain first? Cause I don't want to end it here."

       "End what? There isn't anything for you to end." Sakura smirked.

       "Smirk is not made for you." Syaoran stared at her Barbie face. "Listen, I didn't mean to hurt you like that."

       "But you did."

       "I... I know I did... and I know there's nothing I could do to reverse it." He said quietly, but every word caused a little sped up to Sakura's heart beating. "I just want to say sorry..."

       Sakura never expected to hear he apologize, but it actually hurt her. She felt her tears were about to fill up in her eyes again. "Sorry, you think just that one sorry can flatten everything?"

       "No, but I'll try to make it go if you just gave me a chance."

       "... ..." Sakura looked down, she couldn't resist her tears any more.

       "Ayah, Sakura. You are really damn after all, really stupid." Syaoran suddenly said with a smile.

       "What!?" Sakura looked up, with tears flowing down her cheeks. 'How can he say that on such a occasion!'

       "Do you know why I was doing that all the time?" Syaoran asked, looking at her eyes sadly, even when he was still smiling softly, "because I liked you."

       "No, you don..."

       "Yes I do... But it's ok, I knew this was coming..." Syaoran hanged his head forward. "I knew I was loving you… all alone..."

       "It doesn't really matter any more, does it?" Sakura sobbed, but still said stubbornly.

       "Yeah," Syaoran answered and stood up from his chair. "I won't accept this." He picked up the not-yet-opened envelope and tore in two pieces. "You stay."

       "You..."

       Syaoran walked pass by her toward the hallway. He stopped by the door. "If not seeing me can make you feel better, I'll try not to appear in front of you again."

       "I won't feel better here!" Sakura screamed. 'This was not what she had in mind, she was planning to face this coolly... But she cried again... "I won't forgive you! No! NEVER!"

       Syaoran closed his eyes, he was glad that he had his back toward her, so she won't be able to see his tears, he swallowed bitterly and inhaled, "I don't want people to see girls going out my office crying," He said. "And, I wish you can be happy without me." With that, he left the room.

       "Sakura!" Tomoyo phoned Sakura at lunchtime.

       "Oh, Tomoyo," Sakura said softly, her voice sounded a little shaky.

       "Were you crying, Sakura? Was Syaoran mean to you again?" Tomoyo asked worryingly. "He's such a jerk… Well he asked for it... I'll beat him up for you soon, I'll ask for a day off next week and..."

       "No, it's ok Tomoyo, he promised not to appear in front of me again." Sakura said.

       "Oh... Those guys really don't know how to take care of girls... Like Eriol, now that I'm working for him in the company, and after a whole like that, I still have to work for him at home! He doesn't even know how to fry an egg! Seriously, I think he's sent by god to destroy my life!" Tomoyo said.

       Sakura smiled, hearing Tomoyo's complains. 'But there was still happiness in it.'

       Sakura sighed, where could her happiness be lying?...
