A Thin Line

Chapter 6

A/N: alright, first off I think that it's going to take me longer to update now because school is just around the corner for me.

/the girls' room\\\\\

Syaoran looked at the raven- haired girl with questionable eyes. Tomoyo took a deep breath and started to explain herself, "You may not know it but maybe you've fallen for Sakura and you fell hard. Since you're too hard headed to admit it, your unconscious did it for you."

"Or maybe it was just a dream and it didn't mean anything at all." Syaoran tried to hide it from himself but Tomoyo could see right through him. She smiled again.

"Like I said, hard headed."

"I'm not hard headed." Syaoran rose up from his seat. "Thanks for listening Tomoyo." He headed for the door and opened it, "You won't tell Sakura would you?" Tomoyo shook her head.

"Tell me what?" Sakura's voice beamed out of no where.

"UH nothing." Syaoran dashed out the door.

"That was weird." Sakura put her cheerleading things on the table and walked in the kitchen. "Do we have any thing to eat? Like some cake?" Sakura called from the kitchen.

"There's pudding."

"I don't like pudding."

"Oh well then we got nothing." Sakura frowned. She then walked back to the sofa and took a seat. She bit her lips a little, "Can I tell you something?"

"Sure." Tomoyo took a seat next to her.

"Ok well when me and Syaoran went to his house for Yelan, something almost happened."

"Like what?"

"Well me and Syaoran almost kissed." Tomoyo raised a brow. Sakura went on, "We didn't 'cause of the doorbell…… but I kinda wished we did." Sakura blushed at the end of the sentence.

"AW Sakura." Tomoyo reached over to hug her friend.

/Eriol and Meiling\\\\\

"How am I suppose to pay you back for that precious vase of yours if you don't pick one for me to pay?" Meiling whined as Eriol rejected another vase in her hand.

"You can't replace something like that. My grandparents gave me that." Eriol attempted to walk outside the store bur Meiling stopped him.

She sighed, "Look I just want to pay you back is that so hard?"

"Yes it is, that vase is priceless, and you kinda ruin my moment there."

"What moment?"

Eriol blushed, "Nothing." This time he did manage to walk outside. He looked at the sky and then down at his watch. It was only 7:00. Since it was now a Sunday it was best to walk back to the school. Meiling followed his lead. "So what moment?" she was curious to know what he meant.

"Well I was just about to tell Tomoyo something important."

"Like what?"

"Like how nosy you are."

Meiling pouted, "Wow that was so funny I forgot to laugh."

Eriol walked Mieling back home. They reached the front step of the Li mansion. Before walking inside Meiling asked him one more time, "What did you have to tell Tomoyo that was so important?"

"Fine if it's the only thing that will get you off my back. I was gonna ask her out."

Meiling shrieked, "AWW so Kawaii!" she finally walked inside.

/Touya and Yukito\\\\\\

"You're going to have to tell Sakura- Chan soon or later." Yukito started.

"I know but I still waiting for the perfect time." Touya answered.

"How about tonight, it's better now then never."

Touya took a deep breath, "Fine let's go."

/Sakura and Tomoyo\\\\

"What?" Sakura burst out almost in tears. She ran out the door leaving it open.

"Why does she have to choose?" Tomoyo tried her best to have a calming voice.

"Because we can't choose for her."

/Syaoran\\\\

Syaoran opened the door to only to fine Sakura jumping up to hug him tightly. She started to cry. Syaoran gently patted her back. "What's wrong?"

"My father is in America. And he wants me and Touya to come stay with him." She looked up, her eyes burning from the tears.

"Oh."

"I want to spend time with my dad but I don't want to leave, Syaoran I like it here in Japan."

"Well do what your heart tells you." Syaoran looked away avoiding eye contact with her.

"That's just it I can't choose, what do you think I should do?"

"I think…." he pause to think about the next part, "You should stay with him."

Sakura release her hold of Syaoran. She looked away at the other side of the hallway before turning back to face him. "I'll miss you." She then left her spot.

"Love hurts doesn't it?" Eriol's voice popped up from no where.

"What?"

"Sometimes when you love some one you would want to see them happy even if it makes you sad." Eriol closed his eyes and walked in the room.

/Next day\\\\

Eriol woke up Tomoyo at the crake of dawn by knocking at her door. "Morning." He smiled.

She yawned and looked to see what his purpose was.

"You know how I was about to tell you who I like?" still yawning, Tomoyo nodded.

"Well I wanted to ask y…"

"I know it's Meiling." She rubbed her eye lids.

"What? Who told you that?" Eriol was now shocked.

"You did."

"When?"

"A few days ago."

"But……" he was interrupted by Sakura carrying her luggage out her room. "Need any help?" Tomoyo offered.

"No thanks." Sakura forced out a smile.

"Sorry that I can't be with you at the airport." Tomoyo was sad to see her friend go. A single tear fell as she hugged Sakura. Sakura hugged her back letting out tears as well. When Sakura let go she went to hug Eriol.

"Take care of Tomoyo for me." She whispered before leaving. She was greeted outside the door by Touya and Yukito.

/In Class\\\

"I can't believe that Sakura is really gone." Tomoyo said sadly. She said it more to Syaoran then to herself. Eriol nodded in approval looking at Syaoran too. Syaoran didn't respond. The rest of the day was quiet no one really said much until school was over.

/Tomoyo and Eriol\\\\

They walked back to Eriol's room because they were going to study together just like usual. The two took seat on the floor and opened up their books. Meiling came running through the door.

"Why did you tell me that Sakura was leaving?" she panted.

"Because you never asked." Eriol didn't pay much attention to her.

"Now that's no way to talk to a girl." Tomoyo snapped at Eriol who was busying himself with his homework.

"But sorry that we didn't tell you, it was just unexpected." Tomoyo turned back to see Meiling almost crying.

"When did she leave?"

"This morning, the plane should be landing by now."

"Did she talk to Syaoran before leaving?"

"I think so." Eriol looked up this time.

"Then why didn't he stop her?" Meiling was shouting now.

"Because you're too loud!" Eriol was annoyed now.

"You're still mad about that stupid vase?" Meiling walked over to him and glared down at him.

"Eriol you're never gonna get her to go out with you being rude like that." Tomoyo interrupted the glaring.

"Yeah is that how…..? Wait what?" Meiling is now looking down at Tomoyo who sat up straight.

"Eriol likes you and he wants to ask you out but I guess he needs some help."

"No way, he can't like me."

"Aw don't be like that you're a beautiful girl."

"No its not that it's just that he can't have a crush on me when he already has a crush on you."

"What?" Tomoyo turned to Eriol.

"Way to keep a secret big mouth!" he glared at Meiling who was trying her best to look innocent. He then looked back at Tomoyo, "But it's true Tomoyo, I do like you and I think that you're the most beautiful girl that I know and that you're….." Tomoyo cut him off.

"Woo, if you like me then why did you say that you like Meiling?"

"Because I saw her breaking my vase so I had to scream her name."

"Hm."

"Don't believe me?" he leaned over and brushed his lips on hers. when she saw that he was closing his eyes, she did the same. Eriol wanted to make the kiss longer and more intense but Meiling interrupted the moment.

"Get a room geez." Meiling walked off outside to the hallway. Tomoyo giggled when Eriol backed away from her face.

"So what do you say? Would you be my girlfriend?" Eriol started looking deep in to her amethyst eyes.

"Love to."

/Syaoran\\\\

He closes his expecting sleep but instead got the image of Sakura. She smiled at him which made his blushed. Gosh damn it Sakura, why can't I stop thinking about you? You're gone now so I have to stop! He really wanted to forget her but for some reason couldn't. The image of Sakura smiling in his head quickly turned to the image of her crying as she boarded the plane. His eyes shot open when he saw this. He say up and on his bed and started thinking about the fact that he can't see his beloved Sakura again.

/Flash Back\\\

"Good bye Syaoran." Sakura left the room closing his door nehind her.

/End\\\\

"Sorry Sakura but I can't say goodbye to you."

"Then don't." A female voice came from the direction of his bedroom door.
