Chapter 10: Inside My Heart (Continuation of Chapter 9)

Sakura sighed at all the questions from Meilin that were being thrown at her. She loved Meilin like a sister, of course, but sometimes Meilin was too much for her to handle, and especially now. All she could think of was Toya and Syaoran.

"Sakura, you look upset, is something wrong?" Tomoyo asked suddenly, interrupting Meilin.

Sakura shook her head and glanced over at Syaoran, who was looking down at the floor, his head down and his cheeks red. "Syaoran, can I talk to you?"

Syaoran lifted his head and looked at Sakura before nodding. Meilin's mouth was left hanging open, her thoughts unsaid as her, Tomoyo and Eriol watched the two of them walk out of kitchen.

Sakura led Syaoran up to her bedroom, and shut the door behind them. Sakura sat down on her bed and motioned for Syaoran to sit beside her, but Syaoran shook his head and stood by the window, looking outside with his eyes moving slightly as if he were thinking intently. The hurt look on his handsome face was enough to make Sakura want to jump up and throw her arms around him, but she knew they must talk first.

Sakura found it hard to find what to say, her mouth opening every time she thought of something, but she closed it before it came out. She did this several times before saying, "Syaoran, do you like me?" Damnit, Sakura, that's not a way to start the conversation! she thought to herself angrily.

Syaoran continued to look out the window, his eyes moving back and forth rapidly. "It started just before the battle with Yue.." he began, his voice quiet. "I didn't know what I was feeling at first, but I soon realised I liked you.." Sakura nodded, Syaoran pausing for a moment to gather his thoughts. He stared out the window for another moment, and then continued. "I.. I then couldn't stop thinking about you.. You're smile, you're eyes.. The way you would always laugh, and how you were always so happy and cheerful.." He leaned a shoulder against the wall as he stuffed his hands into his pockets, his eyes still peering outside. Sakura watched him closely. "When Mother said I had to come back to Hong Kong, I didn't know what to think, or say, or act.. I knew by then that I was.. In love with you.." Another pause as his eyes raced back and forth. Sakura noticed his hands ball into fists inside of his pockets. She bit down on her lip and peered up at the one she knew she loved. "I then started thinking about telling you of my feelings.. I knew I had to tell you before I left, because I knew I would never have another chance.. But.. When I was leaving for the plane, and you were there, I couldn't say anything, I was too scared of what you're answer would be.. I was afraid that you're feelings wouldn't be the same as mine.." Sakura looked down at her feet, tears welling up in her eyes.

"Syaoran, I had no idea.." she whispered, feeling hot tears spill down her cheeks. "I had no idea at all.." She closed her eyes, more tears falling. She then opened her eyes back up and looked up, her eyes widening as she saw that Syaoran was now facing her, his eyes full of pain and grief. His fists were clenched at his sides as he watched Sakura intently.

"Syaoran, I.." Sakura looked up into those gorgeous eyes and all thought fled. "I.." Syaoran's eyes locked on hers, and more tears streamed down her face. "I.." She then stood up, shaking away her tears angrily as she stared up into Syaoran's eyes, her own fists balled at her sides. "I love you, Syaoran."

Syaoran's eyes widened in shock, as he stared down at Sakura disbelievingly. Sakura continued to stare up at him intently. "I love you too, Sakura.." Syaoran replied softly. Sakura felt more tears fall as she stepped closer to him, the side of her face resting against his chest. Syaoran's arms slowly went to wrap around her waist as he pulled her closer to him, his head resting atop hers.

"I love you, my gorgeous wolf," Sakura whispered.

"As I love you, my beautiful cherry blossom," Syaoran whispered into her hair. "I love you, Sakura.."
