A/N: Okay... I know I said I had stopped writing this fic... but I've decided to try and write it once again. So please bare with me. I have also decided to go with my first attempt at this story so there will no longer be cause for confusion. If you haven't noticed I have another story up so please read that as well. Okay... one with the show. (Show? What show?)
Disclaimer: I do not own Cardcaptor Sakura, Clamp does cause if I did I'd have messed up the plot entirely. ((-))
Past Bloom, Different Life
{A SS Fanfic}
Chapter 4: Meiling
"Good night Tomoyo, Eriol!" Shouted Sakura down the hall. "See you in the morning!"
Sakura opened the door to her room.
"Sakura, may I come in?" Asked Syaoran. "I have to tell you something important."
"Hoe, Syaoran?" Sakura said closing the door. "What did you want to tell me?" Sakura went over to her suitcase and pulled out her night shirt and pj pants and sat on the bed.
"Uhh..." Syaoran's face reddened. "Do you remember what I said when I left?"
"Hai." She pulled a teddybear out of her suitcase. "I keep Syaoran-bear on my night table at home. I wake up to him every morning."
"Sakura times have changed. I... uhh..." Sakura stood up, and walked towards him. "Sakura, I...." She lent in and contact was made between them. The sweet tingle of her lips lingered on his. She looked up at him. Staring deep into his eyes she said.
"Hai Syaoran?" He stepped back and looked down.
"Sakura, I can't do this. I've moved on." At these words her eyes widened. ther began to fill with tears. Syaoran pulled from behind his back his Sakura-bear. He handed it to her. "I'm sorry." Sakura turned around and rummaged through her Sakura cards. She held one close to her chest.
"Syaoran..." She looked into his eyes. "You've never seen this card. This was the sign I got to go to the airport to see you off. She held out the card so Syaoran could see it. "It's the love card. I made this card because I love you." (A/N: 'Kay I know it was the hope card but for this instance it's the 'Love card' okay?)
Tears trickling down her cheeks she continues. "Demo, it was a waste of time. I waited but you moved on. That shows your loyalty." At that she through her Syaoran-bear at him and ran out of the room, her hands covering her tear stricken face.
"Matte Sakura, Matte." Syaoran whispered, his heart broken. He still loved her but he had moved on and the thing that hurt him the most was seeing her cry.
Sakura stayed in Tomoyo's room that night not wanting to have to see 'him'. A knock on the door and it was Eriol. Tomoyo let him in. Sakura lay in a ball on the bed. She had hardly slept all night because of her crying. Tomoyo took Eriol into the bathroom to talk.
"How is she? What happened?" Asked Eriol.
"She told Syaoran something she didn't even realize herself." Said Tomoyo. "I think it broke her heart."
"No! She didn't!" Eriol said surprised.
"Hai, Syaoran rejected her. She waited sub-consciencly, without realizing it. She knew inside she always loved him but the cards blocked it from her memory for this reason, so she wouldn't get hurt." Tomoyo explained.
"Hmmm, very insightful for someone without magic." Eriol said, cleaning his glasses. "I'll go talk to her." He left the bathroom and knelt in front of Sakura. "Sakura? Are you okay?" She just rolled over. "Can I do anything to help." She rolled back. Her eyes were as puffy as strawberries. She nodded.
"Eriol, can you go into my room and get my suitcase and things? I think I'm going to stay with Otou-san for a while." Eriol nodded and left the room. "Tomoyo-chan, don't tell Li."
Surprised by the sudden change in respect for him, she replied. "Hai, Sakura-chan."
"Otou-san, gomen. I'm sorry for intruding." Sakura apologized. Fugitaka-papa shook his head.
"No Sakura, I'm your father. You can always stay with me. but why the sudden change to leave your friends?" Realizing he hit a sensitive spot he backed off and forgot the subject.
The doorbell rang. Sakura went to answer it. She opened the door slightly only to see meiling at her door. She had a slightly different hair style, it was all gathered into a bun at the back. A smile was brought to Sakura's face.
"Meiling-chan!" She threw the door open and gave her a huge hug.
"Tomoyo-chan said you'd be here. May I come in?" Sakura nodded and let Meiling enter.
They sat at the table. Soon Sakura made some tea and they started to talk.
"Tomoyo-chan told me what happened with you and Syaoran." Sakura stood up and walked away.
"I don't want to talk about it."
"Sakura, it's not because of you."
"Then what is it Meiling? I know there is someone else!" Sakura was starting to get angry. (which rarely happens, ne?)
"Sakura, there isn't anyone." Sakura stopped fuming and turned around with puzzlement on her face.
