Chapter 4: A Past Acquaintance
Sakura reached Penguin Park about fifteen minutes before she was to meet her friends. All she could think about was why Syaoran and Tomoyo seemed to be keeping something from her.
As Sakura reached the swings, she was surprised to see a copper-eyed boy on one of the seats. She had never seen him before, but he felt so familiar.
"Hello," the boy looked into Sakura's emerald eyes, "how are you, Sakura?"
Sakura stepped back and stammered, "H-ow d-do you know m-my name?"
He got up and placed his right hand on her shoulder, "Don't you remember me?" His touch sent tingles down her back.
"N-N-N-o."
He moved in closer to her and placed his left hand on her cheek, "Even more beautiful." Every time he touched her, she trembled from a strange warm feeling.
Sakura felt herself shake her head, "I'm sorry, I don't know you." The boy placed his finger on her lip, then moved in until their lips met. Then Sakura knew. "Shai!"
~ FLASHBACK ~
"You're going to America? When?" Sakura looked up at Shai. He had known her for about a year now, and at the age of 9, he was leaving. Shai looked at her emerald eyes, "I realize that I've only known you for a short amount of time Sakura, but I really like you and our friendship means a lot to me. Please don't forget me." He looked at her cravingly.
Shai had a crush on Sakura, but she was just friends with him, nothing more. As Sakura seemed lost in her own thoughts, Shai moved towards her and soon she felt a tender sweetness of honey. Sakua broke away from his. His face flushed, "I'm sorry."
The next day, he left and she never saw or heard from him again.
~ END OF FLASHBACK ~
"Listen, Shai-"
"Sakura, I'm sorry. I've just wanted to do that since I did the first time, to feel that strawberry harmony again has been my desire, yet I don't want you to feel as though it meant anything. It was just. just a longing."
"Sakura-chan!"
Sakura turned around and saw Tomoyo and Syaoran walking towards her. They looked very happy, in great comparison to Sakura's expressionless face.
Syaoran looked at her, "Daijabu?" He then saw a rather handsome boy next to her, with his right arm on her shoulder. Confused thoughts raced through Syaoran's mind. First, Sakura didn't meet up with him yesterday after school (which he didn't even yell at her for) and now she was standing with a good-looking guy. A dreaded silence fell over the four.
The silence was broken by Shai clearing his throat. He held out his hand to Syaoran, "Nice to meet you."
Syaoran shook his hand, "Who are you?"
"An old friend." Shai took his hand off Sakura's shoulder. She still looked out of it.
Tomoyo looked at Shai, "Do I know you?"
Shai laughed, "Does no one remember me around here? Well, just to clarify, I'm Shair, Japanese-American boy since age 9."
Tomoyo shook her head, "Sorry, I don't remember."
"Well, I guess since Sakura was the only person who acknowledges me back then, what did I expect? Well, at first she didn't recall who I was, but after I ki-"
Sakura elbowed him very hard on his right rib cage. She looked at him rather angrily, shot a glance at Syaoran, then looked at him again.
"Oh!" Shai put his left hand behind his head, "I get it!" He laughed a hardy laugh. He looked at Syaoran again, "You're real lucky." Sakura elbowed him again.
"Hey - stop that!" Shai declared with a pout on his face as he rubbed his side.
Sakura couldn't help but giggle, and so did Tomoyo. Only Syaoran wasn't laughing. He still didn't understand who this guy was.
Tomoyo sat on a swing set and Syaoran took a seat next to her. Sakura followed and Sat next to Syaoran. Not wanting to feel like the odd-man-out, Shai sat next to Sakura.
Sakura noticed that Syaoran still looked confused, "Shai used to live in Japan. He moved here from China when he was 8. I befriended him, but he had to leave a year later. I didn't think I'd see him again, but here he is!" Sakura smiled. Syaoran just nodded.
Tomoyo looked at Shai, "So are you visiting or moving back?"
Shai looked at her with disappointment, "I'm only visiting for a week, then I have to go back." He turned his gazed to Sakura, "It seems like I will again have to leave an important part of my life."
Sakura returned his gaze, "I'm not that important."
He grinned, "I was talking about Japan." But he knew and she knew that he wasn't.
