Chapter 4: Sakura is getting married?
Kinjiro waited patiently. The rays of the setting sun washed everything in brilliant shades of oranges, with the clouds drifting wildly across the sky. The world was a picture of peace and harmony. The approaching footsteps drew his attention.
" Gomen, Hansuke-san!" gasped Sakura breathlessly. Kinjiro pulled out the chair for her, which she sat down gratefully. " Some work came up at the last minute and-" Her words were cut short by the glass of orange juice offered to her.
" No need for explanations, Kinomoto-san. Take a drink and catch your breath." Gently shaking the glass, Kinjiro smiled at her red face. Sakura obeyed, finishing the juice in two gulps. He stared at her before chuckling to himself.
" You don't want to end your life from drinking too fast, do you?" He answered her puzzling look. Sakura looked down and blushed even harder, murmuring a no. " Did I saw a tomato or was it the sun?" Laughing, Kinjiro called for the waiter.
" T-bone steak, medium; a Cesar salad and a bottle of your best wine. Kinomoto-san, what would you like to order?" Handing back the menu to the waiter, Kinjiro asked. " Anything would be fine." Sakura said quickly, fingering the napkin on her lap. " Ok." Turning to the waiter, he ordered two servings of steak.
Several months later
Night descended and people slowed their footsteps, enjoying the cool breeze. A car pulled up to a house and a woman with auburn hair stepped out. A gust of wind play with her short hair, ruffling it in the process.
" Arigato gozaimasu, Kinjiro. I had a great time." Sakura gave a short bow and left, a face of bliss evident.
Entering the house, she was surprised to find Kero alone. Tomoyo would wait for her if she was out but she was not there. Instead, Sakura found a note saying that she was entertaining some guests from abroad and would be home late. Sighing, Sakura put the note back onto the memo board. She still had so much to plan for her upcoming wedding in two weeks' time and she definitely needed Tomoyo's organizing skills.
" Never mind, I'll ask for her help tomorrow." Sakura muttered, and went upstairs.
Putting down the cup of tea, Tomoyo's eyes revealed anxiousness and sleepless nights. Syaoran was not even startle by the news of Sakura's impending wedding. His blank face did not have a trace of his feelings.
Tomoyo started yelling, her purple eyes near to tears. " Don't you care for her anymore? She is marrying someone-" " There's enough, Tomoyo." Syaoran rebuked icily. " Don't say anymore about her. Just go, Tomoyo." He pointed at the door and left the room. " Li Syaoran! I can't believe you!" Tears streaming down her cheeks, she left. Tomoyo did not understand why he was so unmoved and she did not want to find out the reason.
Watching her car speeding away into the darkness, Syaoran dropped his masquerade and his eyes melted into sadness itself. Why should he care? Since Sakura cut him out of her life, he had no rights to do so. Besides, his heart had already died. But why was there an excruciating pain in his chest? Never mind, he thought grimly, why think of her when you are leaving this wretched place in a fortnight's time?
Ni yao wo shuo duo nan kan
What do you want me to say
Wo gen ben bu xiang fen kai
I never wish to part
Wei shen me hai yao wo yong wei xiao lai dai guo
Why do I need to smile to cover this
Wo mei you zhe zhong tian fen
I don' t have the aptitude
Bao rong ni ye jie shou ta
Tolerate you and accept him
Bu yong dan xin de tai duo
Do not worry too much
Wo hui yi zhi hao hao guo
I will keep on living
He stood on the balcony, letting the wind ruffle his hair, for the whole night.
With the cooling water gushing from the showerhead, she stood still, allowing it to soothe her wounds. Sakura is getting married. This stayed on her mind every second since Sakura broke the news to her a week ago. She could stand it if Syaoran was the one, but Kinjiro Hansuke? A man who she knew almost nothing about was going to take Sakura away? Would Sakura be happy? No, she thought bitterly. From the bottom of her heart, she knew Syaoran was the Chosen one and no one else. He and Sakura was destined to be together. Why did Syaoran gave up without a fight? She hoped that someone would provide her with answers.
Toweling her damp hair, Tomoyo went to Sakura's room. Through the half opened door, she heard Sakura mumbling Kinjiro's name in her sleep. Closing the door carefully, her heart screamed. Before Kinjiro, Sakura pined for Syaoran so much that she cried. Why is Fate so cruel to them? She yelled silently. In reply, one of the cards in Sakura's drawer glowed. It was Hope.
Two men scrutinized Sakura's house for a long time and left. " Are you sure?" One of the men asked, sounding as though he had been in the desert for eons. " Yes. It's time." The other man replied. His premonitions had never been wrong before. " Let's go." Within minutes, the two of them were gone.
