Hey everybody. AAAAAAHHHHH! (dodging shoes and eggplant-well why not, everyone always uses tomatoes, I thought I'd change it) I know it's been forever since I've updated and I know that you people probably hate me about now, but I have a good excuse. INCOMING, DUCK! Alright, I'm ok. See I would've updated, but there was one little tiny detail that was sort of keeping me from doing so. I LOST MY FANFIC! (tears running down face, blows nose). See during my summer vaca. I went to a lot of places and shortly after I left my friend's house where I last updated, I lost it. I don't know about you people, but I wrote my fanfic down before I ever posted it here, so losing that really made things hard. I was so stressed out, but I found it Thursday night, so I'm happy and updating. Plus, I've kept the creative juices going. Everytime I've had an idea, I've written it down, so I have some ideas that will be included in later chapters.
To my always-faithful reviewers: THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! You guys are the only ones who review, so for all I know you could be the only ones reading the story, and I really appreciate that.
Moon Sunflower 6389: I'm glad that you liked it. I think you were right before about us being somewhat similar. I definitely see the resemblance.
Jubily-Lollypops: Yes, I am attempting to stretch them out so that they are longer. Its just a little hard finding a good place to end one chapter and start a new one.
Caitlan: I have no idea whatsoever who you are, but thank you for reading my story! Someone new! Or so I think.
In case I haven't told you people, I have finally tried Dim Sum! Woohoo! Its pretty good stuff. Add a little soy sauce and you're good. Goodness- I sound like Kero! Anyway, I'll shut up now so we can get back to the story. Oh wait! –Just kidding, hehe. - ONWARDS!
(s/n blah, blah, blah)- my notes and snide remarks
Disclaimer (for last chappie and this one): I don't own anything . . .blah, blah, blah, you people know the drill.
Chapter 5 – Mysteries Revealed
---Chapter 4 Recap.---
- Sakura's P.O.V. -
I am so happy. Li and I are actually dating. Today is one of the best days of my life.
- End of P.O.V. -
With that last thought she fell asleep.
---End of Recap.---
Around 12: 00 Sakura was woken up by someone calling her cell phone.
R-r-r-ring! (s/n OK. So I wanted it to be a ringtone of Utada Hikaru's 'Simple and Clean' but that's kind of hard to do, so work with me and use your imagination)
"Huh? Wha?"
R-R-RING!
"Five more minutes, Tori."
R-R-R-R-R-ING
"Hm? Oh, my cell phone!"
Sakura had finally realized her phone had been ringing for the last five minutes and was now fumbling around under her bed for her cell phone. (s/n I don't know how it got there, but it did)
After mistaking a sock and two stuffed animals for the phone, she finally found it. She peered at the lit numbers in the dark and found the talk button.
R-R-RI-beep. (s/n Awww. It was just going into the chorus, too)
"Hello?" she said groggily.
"Sakura?"
She peered over at her clock.
"Li? Do you know what time it is?"
"I know its late. I'm sorry."
"Don't worry about it. You sound distressed. Is something wrong? Are you alright? You aren't hurt, are you? Oh no! Don't tell me you're at the hospital!" she was getting more and more frantic with every sentence.
For a brief moment Li smiled at her concern for him, but it was very brief.
"I'm fine, but I have to tell you something."
"What is it?"
"A little after I got back, my mom called."
"From Hong Kong?"
"Mm-hmm."
"OK. Soooo, what'd she say?"
"She told me that I have to go back to China."
"What? When?"
"Tomorrow."
"You can't be serious! This can NOT be happening. There's no way you can go back to Hong Kong!"
By now she had gone waaaayyy past hysterical.
"Sakura." he started to say but she just kept going off.
"SAKURA!"
She stopped, startled by his attempt to shut her up for a moment.
"Sorry, but you didn't hear me. I don't want to leave Tomoeada either, but I have to."
"Listen, I wanted to know if you would come to the airport with me tomorrow."
"Sakura?"
"Of course I'll come with you. Who knows when we'll see each other again."
"Thank you, Sakura. I'll let you sleep. Good-bye."
"Bye, Li."
- Sakura's P.O.V. -
I couldn't believe it. An hour ago I was the happiest girl in the world. Now everything is falling apart at the seams.
- End of P.O.V. -
Tears started streaming down her cheeks and she silently cried herself to sleep. Suddenly but quietly, the drawer in which Kero slept opened and Kero emerged. He recalled the scene that had just unfolded before him as he watched Sakura sleep, her cheeks stained from the tears.
'Oh-oh.' He thought as he disappeared back into his drawer to call someone.
---Meanwhile a Mansion Somewhere Else---
"That was an excellent idea to get them together, Madison. I never would have thought of using the field trip to the tower to our advantage."
Eli and Madison were sitting in Eli's room, discussing their plan and what had come of it. That's right, Madison and Eli had planned the whole thing at the tower. Eli had hidden at the top, invisible, and had summoned Sakura and Li. When they reached the top Eli pushed Sakura over the edge. They knew Li would save her, but just in case he didn't succeed, Eli was ready to step in. Madison, who Eli had also made invisible, had videotaped the entire incident, wearing an evil grin, extremely pleased with herself. (s/n what? Did you think I would just forget about that part of the story and leave you hanging? O, ye of little faith. -ahem- back to the story)
"Thanks, Eli. I couldn't have done it without you." Madison said, giving Eli a quick kiss on the lips.
He smiled and his sapphire eyes had a glint of mischief in them.
"I'm glad I could be of service."
"Now, on to the next phase of my EVIL MASTER PLAN! OHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHO!" Madison said, laughing maniacally, making Eli back away about 5 ft from her.
"I'm just kidding, Eli," she said after she noticed the new large space between them, "but we do need to figure out what to do next."
"Well, what did you have in mind?"
"I'm not sure, but Kero is supposed to call with an update on our kawaii little lovebirds."
As if on cue, Madison's cell phone rang.
"Moshi moshi, Madison speaking. Is that you, Kero?"
"Of course it's me."
"So what happened?"
"Well, Sakura made the Li kid dinner and OH MAN WAS IT GOOD! I even got CAKE!"
"Kero, we want to know what happened with Li and Sakura, not your stomach."
"Oh, yeah. Right. Well, about that. There may be a slight problem."
5 minutes and numerous kawaiis later (s/n Kero was telling about their walk before he got to the bad news) there was a rather loud scream echoing throughout Tomoeada.
"WHAT?!" Madison screeched. "No Way! I worked too hard for this! We've got to do something, Eli."
Kero at this point was putting his little phone under a pillow, trying to drone out the sound. Sakura was sleeping throughout all of this (s/n, she might be depressed but she's a still a heavy sleeper).
"I'm sorry, Madison. I may be Li's ancestor, but I can't go against Yelan's wishes. If she wants Li back in China, then I'm afraid he'll have to go back to China."
"Isn't there anything we can do?"
"Once again, I'm sorry, but I don't think so. I know you hate giving up, but I think we're going to have to abort this mission. Besides, right now Sakura's going to need us. This must be murder for her."
"Yeah. I guess you're right. Let's concentrate on her now."
"Sorry to interrupt your little discussion, but remember ME?"
"Oh, gomen, Kero."
"Do you need anything else?"
"No. Thanks for the update. You can go ahead and sleep now."
"And . . ."
". . And as promised I'll make you a three-layer chocolate cake with pudding frosting."
"Make it a six-layer cake."
"4."
"5."
"Deal."
"Nice doing business with you. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to catch up on my beauty sleep."
"Alright. 'Bye, Kero."
Madison hung up the phone and sighed. Loudly. Eli looked at her for a moment, then spoke.
"Wow. You must be really disappointed. You were really getting into this project. I mean, you already made the wedding invitations."
"Yeah. Too bad. They turned out really well, too. Guess I'll have to throw them away."
"Why? You could save them. For all you know you might need them in the future."
"Hm. You know, you're right. I will keep them."
She walked over to where Eli was on his bed, sat down next to him and out her head on his shoulder.
"No wonder I like, Eli."
"What can I say? It must be my boyish looks and suave nature."
"Shut up," she said giggling, as she playfully hit him in the shoulder, "don't flatter yourself. I also used to think that cashmere would be a good material for pants and dresses." She shuddered as she recalled the incident, "Never again."
Hey! I know that I cut you guys off pretty early, but I couldn't really think of anything that would be good to add and this is a good place to stop before we get to what I have planned next (hehehe wouldn't you like to know). I came up with some potential titles so please look them over and tell me what you think. The title will be determined by YOU GUYS, NOT, I repeat, NOT by me. If you come with any good ideas, I'll add them to the list.
Anyway here's what I came up with:
Lost Love, Found Heart
Forgotten Love
Lost and Found
Lost Love
Forgotten Heart
Distant Heartbreak
I'll continue to try to make longer chapters, but remember, I won't update unless I get three reviews. Plz R & R. 'Ja
