~*~SYAORAN POV~*~

     An immensely irritating light attacked my peaceful sleep…but something told me it wasn't as peaceful as I thought…I was so restless throughout the whole night… How could I not be??? With Sakura walking out on me like that the other day…

     Ya know…maybe I should apologize… Who am I kidding! '_Maybe_' I should I apologize?!?! I HAVE to!… Geez, I was such a frikkin jerk!

     I got out of bed, struggling as I untangled the bed sheets from myself.  Succeeding, I rushed to the bathroom to get ready.  Nothing was going to stop me from getting to her…NOTHING.

~~~~***~***~~~~***~***~~~~***~***~~~~***~***~~~~***~***

     After 30 minutes of showering, teeth-brushing, hair-combing, and cologne spraying, Syaoran was finally as breath-taking as ever and ready to face Sakura.  Now all he had to do was head downstairs without…*gulp* being noticed (which _I_ would find rather hard *raOw!* lol ^_^).

Syaoran bounded down the stairs and was greeted by a cat whistle, "Woo! Syaoran, baby, take it offf!!" Eriol came into view, munching on a bagel.

"Shut up!" Was his simple response as he picked up his wallet from the coffee table, "Your _gayish_ comments are the last thing I need right now."

Eriol nearly choked on his bagel, "Excuse me, but _GAYISH_???" He took another bite of his bagel before puffing up his chest, "As you already know, I have Tomoyo eating right out of my hand."

Syaoran gave a look of loathing as he grabbed his keys and headed out the door.

     He jumped into his slick, black Mustang Convertible and drove off and then stopped by a small gift shop.  Moments later, he came back with a bouquet of cherry blossoms and a heart-shaped box of candy.  He went back into his car and rushed over to Sakura's house.

     When he got there, he saw Tomoyo come out of her car the same time Syaoran did.

"Hey Li-kun!  What are you doing here?"

"I've come here to apologize to Sakura," Syaoran couldn't hold back the wobble in his words. He was really nervous as to if Sakura would forgive him or not.

Tomoyo nodded in understanding and smiled even more when she spotted a small, black, velvet box tucked in his pocket.

     Syaoran and Tomoyo walked into the house and only saw Fujitaka sitting on the sofa, in a daze. He broke out of his thoughts as soon as he heard the door open, "Oh, Tomoyo-san.  Li-san…" Fujitaka's words faded into sad words as he said Syaoran's name.

"Ohayo Gozaimasu, Kinomoto-san. Do you know where Sakura is?" Syaoran questioned eagerly.

"……I…I can't tell you…"

"What do you mean you can't tell me?"

"I…" Fujitaka's tired eyes looked upon Syaoran's anxious expression, "Sakura…she told me…she told me not to tell you…"

Syaoran stared at Fujitaka in a shocked confusion as the bouquet of cherry blossoms plopped to the floor from Syaoran's grasp, "…W-…What do you mean…?"

"Sakura…she……--here…" Fujitaka handed Syaoran a pink envelope, fragranced with a faint smell of cherry blossoms.

Syaoran stared at the envelope in utter confusion and shock.  He opened it eagerly and read what it said:

Syaoran,

         I have come to the conclusion that I must go somewhere far away from you… I can't stand seeing you there when I know I want you when I can't have you… It isn't right.  I have run away from home, never to come back.  Luckily…for you, you will never see me again…but _I_ will never get to see you…  And that pains me more than words could ever say.

        I knew from the beginning I wasn't good enough for you…

I tried everything possible to have you…as selfish as it sounds… I tried to change myself over and over again… When it just hit me the other day after our little fight…

…I just wasn't good enough for you…

 

     But…the reason I wanted you so badly was the fact that you stirred up feelings inside of me that I thought I would never feel.

      But I could see it in your eyes…I wasn't good enough for you… When you came back to Tomoeda, I knew right then and there that I wasn't the one for you by the way you looked at me when you first lay eyes on me that wonderful day when we met again…

      When we first met each other for the first time in our lives, I thought I felt a spark whenever you looked at me… It was a feeling that drove me nuts… But maybe it was just me…

    If I didn't tell you my feelings for you, it wouldn't be true to my heart…I love you, Syaoran…I always did…Always will…

     But, no matter how much you will hate me…I will _always_ love you…Always…

                   Forever loving you,

                                                                Sakura aka: Sweetcherry

Tears welled up in Syaoran's eyes as he finished reading the letter until a single tear made its way down his cheek and onto the letter, "I'll never see her again…"

Fujitaka couldn't take this. He had to stop this madness.  Sakura loved Syaoran and Syaoran loved her. What the heck was stopping those two??? He wasn't just gonna leave them like this!

"You can still possibly catch her."

Syaoran looked up.

"She just left 15 minutes ago. So you might want to catch her before she boards her plane which takes off in about 10 minutes--"

Syaoran did the unbelievable; HE HUGGED FUJITAKA! "Thank you…" 

With that, he rushed out the door and dashed to his car and sped off into the freeway. He wasn't going to let Sakura leave that easily.

~^~^~AT THE AIRPORT~^~^~

*Flight 57 to Hong Kong is boarding in 5 minutes…Repeat…*

Sakura sighed sadly and got up and picked up her luggage, "Might as well check in."

~&~&~&~

Syaoran finally reached the airport and ran inside.

"SAKURA!!!" He searched high and low for her but no avail.

*Flight 57 to Hong Kong now boarding*

He paid no mind to the monotonic voice as he yelled out her name once more, "SAKURA!!!!"

No response.

~&~&~&~

Sakura could've sworn she heard a voice call her name. But she paid no thought as she checked her name in, "Kinomoto Sakura." She smiled at the clerk at the desktop as she typed her name in.

"Next."

Sakura sighed and took her last breaths of Tomoeda air, "Good-bye Syaoran…"  A sad smile crept upon her face until a couple of tears came to fall.

"SAKURA!!!"

Syaoran's voice startled her and made her stomach churn with shock. 

     There he was… But a glass window separated him from her.  She wanted to run into his arms and kiss him breathlessly…but she's done enough of those surprising kisses to last a lifetime.

He must be here to say good riddance…

She smiled sadly as tears rolled down her cheek. She had to do this for the best. 

Good-bye Syaoran…

She waved at Syaoran good-bye and turned away.

Syaoran watched her from the glass window, "Sakura!!! Sakura, wait!!!" He banged on the window in hopes for her to turn around and run into his arms and kiss him until they were both out of breath.

Sakura choked into sobs as she kept on walking, "Good-bye…little wolf…"

Why is she walking away???

He couldn't just let her go…not now…not ever…, "SAKURA!!!"

But she had already boarded the plane.

     All hope left Syaoran's shattered heart as a tear made its way down his cheek and fell to the ground with a clash, "…Sakura……..I……I…love you…"
