Chapter XIII
Real Emotion

It was Syaoran.

This was so unfair! Here Sakura was, forgetting (or tying to forget?) every damn thing Syaoran did to her, and now that she has done a "great job", HE had to come!

'Why, Kami-sama?' she thought, fighting back the tears that threatened to fall. 'Why are you torturing me? Did I do something to deserve this!'

"What do you want!" Tomoyo practically yelled on the receiver. She was silent for a while, and the look on her face showed that she couldn't decide whether to smile or to frown with what she was hearing.

Suddenly... "Kathy, Syaoran said get a life."

Sakura almost fll down from her seat. So it wasn't about her after all! She was relieved.

"Well, tell him he's dumb!" Kathy or Katherine said. Sakura giggled.

"Syao, Kathy said you're dumb."

Then Tomoyo added, "Kathy, he said the one who says, the one who is."

"Well, tell him that if he thinks so, then he should get a life!"

This went on for a while. But when Sakura laughed out loud, Syaoran got the feeling that there was another person besides Tomoyo and Kathy.

Tomoyo fell silent for a while, debating with her subconscious, and the looks Sakura was throwing at her, before saying, "Yeah, its Sakura."

Sakura froze, then glared at her best friend. Tomoyo just shrugged. Suddenly, Tomoyo said, "Sakura, Syaoran said you...are a tomboy for laughing that hard."

A yell could be heard from the ear part of the receiver, but she didn't care. 'The NERVE of him!' she thought. She stomped out of the living room, to the kitchen where Kathy suddenly was.

"Who does he think he is!" Sakura screamed, throwing her hands in the air.

"Ditto on that," Kathy agreed. "He had the nerve to call you a tomboy after he broke your heart! Urgh! I hate people like that."

"Sakura!" Tomoyo called from the living room. "Syaoran said he loves you!"

"Well," Sakura called back, "tell him to tell that to someone who CARES!"

"Tell him that I second the motion!" Kathy called to her cousin.

"He really has a thick face for saying that to me," Sakura said, but for some strange reason, her heart was beating faster... as if something was going to happen...

Just then, Tomoyo called again, "Sakura! He said he's sorry!"

"Then tell him I'm NOT!"

Tomoyo was silent again. Sakura sighed. No doubt they'll be talking about me, she thought bitterly.

She could hear Tomoyo shout from the living room, but couldn't make what she said.

"I KNEW IT!" Tomoyo screamed, making Syaoran put the receiver at least a foot away from him. At least a foot.

"Geesh Tomoyo! For someone sophisticated and deadly-rich like you, you seem to know how to scream like a banshee." He remarked.

Tomoyo decided to ignore the comment. "Well, are you? Are you?"

"Sheesh! How many times do I have to repeat it to you!"

"I dunno... 48 times?"

Syaoran had to roll his eyes. Typical Tomoyo. "Ok! I regretted what I did to Sakura! And repeat it inside your head for 48 times!"

Tomoyo squealed again. "Oh my gosh! You better say sorry to her – and fast!"

Syaoran sighed. "Yeah... but she won't accept me back in her heart, right?" At this, Tomoyo stayed silent.

"I...don't know, Syaoran," she said quietly. "I mean, I asked her for gazillions of times about you, and she seemed to have...amnesia or something. I really don't know..."

Syaoran sighed again. 'She'll never forgive me,' he thought miserably. 'She doesn't and won't love me anymore... Syaoran no baka! This is all YOUR fault!'

"But," Tomoyo said suddenly, "if you're really sincere and you've really regretted, then..."

It was a Sunday, and there was nothing to do but...look at the ceiling, just as Sakura was doing. Unfortunately for her, the action made her reminisce about her past...with Syaoran.

'DAMMIT!' she screamed inside her head. 'You can't be thinking about HIM at a time like this!'

'But,' said a tiny voice at the back of her head, 'I miss him...'

'NO! You cannot miss him! Absolutely NOT! Have you forgotten what he has done to you and forgave him that fast! Its still exactly one month and five days for crying out loud!'

'I know but...'

'But what, huh!'

'I...l...lo...I love...'

'NANI!'

'I...love...him...'

'NO! YOU CANNOT LOVE HIM!'

'I can't help it!'

'You mustn't!'

'Why not?'

'Because I say so!'

'You're not always right! How do YOU know this is right?'

'I AM ALWAYS RIGHT! SO LISTEN!'

"ARGH! JUST SHUT THE HELL UP!"

"Oi, Sakura!" Touya yelled from the kitchen downstairs. "You OK?"

"Fine, 'nii-chan!"

'Pfft, lame... You are so not OK!'

'Hey, at least we agree on something now.'

The phone rang. On instinct, Sakura dashed towards the phone.

"Hello, Kinomoto residence!" she was out of breath.

"Hello... May I speak with...Sakura?"

Sakura's heart didn't know whether to drop or to lift when she heard the voice. In fact, it didn't know whether to beat or not.

"Uh... hello?"

"...Oh! Sorry, this is Sakura speaking."

Now it was the person on the other line who was silent.

"Anou..."

"Ah! Gomen. Sakura... this is... Syaoran."

There was a moment of silence... (A/N: oist, JISH!)

"Um..." it was Syaoran who spoke first. "Sa-Sakura? I just... I want... I mean... ah... Are you angry at me?"

"H-huh?"

Syaoran sighed heavily. "Oh, who am I kidding? Of course you're mad at me."

Sakura wanted to scream, "NO, I'M NOT!" but she was biting her lip to keep her from crying out loud.

Syaoran continued, "And I want to...say sorry for that. I know... I've hurt you... I did something which you... didn't expect... which you didn't deserve... and I'm sorry... (Sigh) It's just... I guess... I guess my pride got the better of me... you know, since Steph cheated on me and stuff... It was really wrong to vent my negative feelings on you... I know and I'm sorry..."

He paused for Sakura's reaction, but he got nothing. He sighed heavily.

"I know you're thinking that this is... scripted and made by Tomoyo, but it's not. Believe me. She doesn't know a thing about this...phone call. Neither does Eriol. And that's because I want YOU to know and hear this first. You can tell Tomoyo later." He chuckled, but was his voice... cracking?

"I've been thinking... ever since I told Tomoyo to tell you to forget about me... I've been thinking if it was right... to hurt you... if it made me feel better... but as time passed... I knew it didn't... it hurt... so bad... and..."

A tear freely escaped from his eye, "I realized that... I miss you... so, so much..."

A strangled cry escaped from his throat. He was, for the very first time, crying. In front of Sakura (or her ear?), nonetheless.

"I just... I just don't know what to do! I... I... I was so confused... my feelings for you... I didn't know..."

This time, Sakura was crying.

"Syaoran... I admit, it did hurt... and it still hurts, until now... but... I-I miss you too! It hurt so much... but even though I really try to forget you... these feelings... my feelings keep growing stronger and stronger..." (A/N to Jishu and Lar-chan: muahahahahahhh...)

"Sakura... I'm really, really sorry... Please tell me on how I can gain back your trust... How I can make it up to you... How I can make you forgive me... Please..."

"Oh, Syaoran!" Sakura was crying waterfalls by now. Literally. "I... I... argh! I don't know! I'm so confused..."

"Please... Sakura..."

"But..."

"Please... I miss you so..."

Her breath was caught in her throat. "...Me too..."

"If so...then please..."

"But... Uhm..."

"Oh God Sakura..." Fresh tears made their way down Syaoran's cheeks. "Please..."

Sakura looked and sounded like she was hyperventilating. "I...I...I don't know...I'm sorry..."

"Dammit Sakura! I LOVE YOU!"
