Chapter Five: Reasoning
---Normal POV---
It was such a shock to everybody that at first no one knew how to react. Touya tried to speak, but words died right after he said Syaoran's name. Yue and Kero were so surprised that they couldn't help to stare at the ring and his pale owner.
Syaoran just couldn't move. His thoughts were running from memory to memory, in a desperate attempt to find a reason why she would deny so suddenly the love they shared.
It was Fujitaka who finally react. In a movement that surprised everyone he hugged Syaoran and asked to give him some time to talk to Sakura. He waited until the boy nodded and then told his son to take a walk with Syaoran, Yukito and Kero.
Touya tried to complain, but before he could said a word his father took them all out of the house and, after asking them to come back later, closed the door.
After that he returned upstairs to find what was really happening to her beloved daughter.
"Sakura-san? Everybody is gone now, you can open the door if you want, I'm making some tea and thought you may want some since you haven't had breakfast."
After those words he left and waited in the living room for her to come down.
---Sakura's POV---
I'm so tired. Tears won't come out anymore, and I'm shaking and...
The look on his face, I knew how he wanted to hold me, to make me feel better and tell me how much he loves me... But I can't do it, I can't hurt my best friend like that...
When did everything become so complicated?
I wanted to tell him how sorry I was, how much I wished things were different, but all I could say was "goodbye Syaoran-kun"
And he couldn't hear me because the card...
I heard my dad telling me they are gone, all of them...
---End of Sakura's POV/Normal POV---
Fujitaka was looking at the picture of Nadeshiko, when he heard some steps in the stairs. He looked up just to see Sakura staring at the floor. She looked so pale and small he thought for a second that she was sick. But before he could do anything she ran and started crying again in his arms.
So he hold her like a little girl and smiled softly at her, trying to give her as much comfort as he could.
"Sakura?" when she didn't answer or move he continued "What happened yesterday at Tomoyo's, honey?"
Sakura looked up at her father, a bit surprised. He smiled softly at her, the same smile he had given her so many times before. She smiled a little too, realizing she had to tell someone, she couldn't keep all this pain anymore.
"I-I wanted to-to surprise her... I was about to knocked when I heard..." Sakura stopped for a second, her voice shaking too much too continue, and her sobs broke the silence of the room again. Fujitaka waited, he understood she needed time. Once she felt a bit better she continued: "Sh- she... she was crying, and then- then she told her mother she..."
"I feel like I'm loosing the only person I really love..."
Fujitaka remained silent, not revealing the surprise he felt at hearing those words. Instead he looked at her and held her as she cried quietly in his arms. Finally he decided he had to talk to her and ask her.
"Are you sure of what you are doing?"
Sakura didn't looked up but, after a second, shake her head. She wasn't sure it was the right thing to do, but what else could she do, those words hurt her so much...
"...I just don't know if I'm strong enough to see them get married..."
Fujitaka smiled at his child foolishness. She didn't want to hurt Tomoyo, so she'll sacrifice her own happiness.
"But-but dad" she told him "I couldn't do that to her, she's my best friend! A-and I... I'll be fine..."
"Sakura-san... shouldn't you care for your own happiness? Tomoyo has obviously taken a decision, and I'm sure she wants you to be happy too."
"...I know she'll give up the person she loves for my happiness... But that's why I can't..." her voice become a whisper then "that's why I can't marry Syaoran..."
"And how about him?" Sakura finally looked up, surprised, "Don't you want him to be happy?"
Sakura stared at the picture of her mother for an instant before nodding.
