Chapter Two: Goodbyes and Loves
:---------------------------------:
Sakura and Syaoran
Sakura smiled brightly as the two walked together. "Doesn't this remind you of something?" she asked cutely. Syaoran chuckled, "Yeah." Sakura turned to look at him, "Gomen…I was sort of harsh back than." Syaoran squeezed her shoulder gently, "No…I deserved it."
Sakura didn't say a word as they walked towards the diner. "How has it been?" Syaoran asked breaking the awkward silence that was beginning to form. Sakura shrugged her shoulders, "Same old really. I had to redo some stuff, but that's okay." Syaoran nodded in understanding, "I'm glad you're all better now."
Sakura smiled and didn't say a word. "Did you talk with Tomoyo?" Syaoran questioned her. Sakura looked over at him, "After she left we lost contact with each other. But Mia told me she stayed in touch." Syaoran looked at her sadly, "…I'm sorry for everything." Sakura shook him off, "Syao-kun…it's in the past now. And I mean, that was the point of us all meeting together right…to make it through all the problems and become friends again."
Syaoran smiled and looked across the street, "There it is." Sakura giggled, "Yep, ready to go in?"
:---------------------------------:
Eriol and Momo
They drove slowly in Eriol's silver car. "So…how was it?" Momo asked looking at him cutely. Eriol chuckled, "It was okay." Momo nodded, "You know you never did answer my question from earlier, did you ever like one of them?"
Eriol wrapped his arm around her, "Does it matter?" Momo pouted cutely, "Course it matter, I mean…I want to know what I'm up against." Eriol chuckled, "No, I didn't like anyone of them." Momo smiled brightly, "Okay! So, I can't wait until tonight!"
Eriol smiled forcefully, "I know." Momo looked at him worriedly, "Is something bothering you? You can tell me anything, you know that right Eriol?" Eriol looked over at her and kissed her softly on the temple, "I'm okay…just thinking."
Momo sighed and leaned back on the seat, "Okay, okay…but if you want to talk about, know that I'm right here okay?" Eriol chuckled and nodded his head, "I know, I know."
:---------------------------------:
Tomoyo
She stared at the large complex building in awe. This was it, she swiftly walked into the elevator towards the top floor. When she reached it her face brightened at the face of the woman with soft black hair and soft brown eyes. She seemed to be laughing happily on the phone. Tomoyo slowly walked towards the woman and bowed slightly, "Yanagisawa-sama."
The woman looked up and her eyes looked confused for a second before they grew in recognition. "Daidouji?" she questioned. Tomoyo nodded her head, "I came back to see how you were doing." Naoko nodded her head and quickly told the person on the phone goodbye, "How about we go for a walk?"
Tomoyo and Naoko slowly walked through the streets of Tomoeda. "So how have you been since you've left?" Naoko asked the woman beside her. Tomoyo smiled, "You were right Yanagisawa-san, I shouldn't have kept waiting like that." Naoko nodded and turned to look at the young woman, "Well, you help me a lot to."
"Honto?" Tomoyo asked looking at her former boss. Naoko giggled, "Yeah, after you left I realized that I was also living a lie. So me and my ex husband are now separated." Tomoyo smiled, "I'm glad, you look a lot better now."
Naoko nodded her head in agreement, "Same to you." Tomoyo sighed as she stopped walking, "I'm not sure what to do now though." "Oh? Doushite?" "I saw everyone again, and I can see the bond between Saku, and Syaoran…but I feel…jealous," Tomoyo explained sadly. Naoko nodded, "Oh well, just go with the flow Daidouji-san. You can't change your feelings, just like they can't change theirs. But just…keep your options opened."
Tomoyo nodded, "Arigatou for all the help. Maybe I'll come visit again some day." Naoko nodded, "Yeah…you should come back before you leave again." Tomoyo giggled, "Ja ne!"
:---------------------------------:
Syaoran was the first to enter the restaurant and was immediately met with happy brown eyes. "Hello! Can I help you?" Syaoran chuckled, "Rika…it's me." The young woman named Rika looked up, her hair was now longer and a lighter red. She had on a bright smiled and quickly embraced the older man, "Syaoran-senpai! You came back!" Syaoran chuckled as he wrapped his arms around her, "How are you two?"
Rika giggled, "Chiharu-senpai is a lot different now." "Honto?" Syaoran asked looking unconvinced. Rika nodded, and pointed towards the counter. There stood a woman now almost 20 with long brown hair filled with blond highlights. Her eyes glowed a bright brown and she had on a stern face, "Rika! Get working we're not paying you to stand there and talk to customers."
"H-hai!" Rika saluted and quickly seated the two, "I'll be right back. Don't want to get yelled at again." Syaoran chuckled the two had certainly changed a lot. Rika Sasaki had used to be a shy and timid girl who hung behind Chiharu and never really dared to speak up. While Chiharu was an immature brat who always wanting things her way.
Now Rika seemed to be more outgoing while Chiharu had finally learned to handle real responsibility. Suddenly someone tapped him on the shoulder and Syaoran quickly turned around, "Terada-san." The old man chuckled, "Syaoran…don't call me that! Just call me Terada same to you young lady."
Sakura smiled and bowed her head politely. The old man started chuckling again, "You finally returned to visit an old man like me." Syaoran nodded, "Wanted to check up on you guys." Terada nodded, "Well as you can see, things are going great." Syaoran smiled, "I'm glad things turned out okay." Terada chuckled, "And may I ask who is this young lady?"
Sakura offered her hand, "Sakura Kinomoto, an old friend." Terada nodded and accepted her hand, "You're very pretty," he complimented causing Sakura to blush. Syaoran smiled and quickly stood up, "We have to get going. Maybe we'll come again sometime. But we must get ready for the festival." "Ah!" Terada said in understanding, "Well don't forget to come back."
:------------------------------:
Festival
Eriol and Momo were the first to arrive. Momo clung onto him as they wandered around trying to find the others. "Eriol! Momo over here!" they heard Sakura's genki voice. They turned and smiled as they watched the other approach them.
"So what should we do?" Sakura asked cutely. She was wearing a white kimono with cherry blossom petals scattered around. Tomoyo forced a smile, "Maybe just walk around?" She was wearing a light purple kimono with sky blue clouds. Momo giggled, "That sounds like fun. I mean I'm sure you guys haven't finished getting caught up." Momo was wearing a light orange kimono with peaches floating around.
Eriol kissed her softly on the temple, "I think we should get something to eat first." The group all agreed and they walked towards a stand. Sakura looked towards Syaoran and smiled softly, "When are you leaving?"
Syaoran looked up at her, his amber eyes surprised, "I'm not sure…probably in a few days." "Honto?" Sakura asked sadly. Syaoran nodded, "I need to get back to work." Sakura nodded as she watched Momo and Eriol tease each other. On the side lines Tomoyo clutched her kimono bitterly.
Sakura slowly walked towards her old friend placing a light smile on her face, "How about you…are you going to be staying for awhile?" Tomoyo shrugged her shoulders, "I can…not sure what I want to do yet." Sakura sighed, "Why can't it just go back to the way it used to?"
Tomoyo shook her head, "We can't go to the past. You should know that better than I do. But…you can change the future." "Hoe?" Sakura asked confused. "I know you still love Syaoran…you can't just forget your first love like that," Tomoyo answered softly.
"What about you?" Sakura questioned. Tomoyo looked up, her eyes misting in tears, "It isn't worth it." Sakura looked away sadly, "I wish you luck than," and with that she stood up and walked over towards Syaoran.
:------------------------------:
Eriol looked back and saw amethysts eyes boring into his deep blue ones. Momo looked at him and frowned tugging on his shoulder getting back his attention. Eriol smiled and kissed her lightly on the temple causing her whole face to lighten up. Tomoyo quickly turned away, her face heating up. What was this emotion bubbling inside of her?
:------------------------------:
The next few days pasted by quickly. They visited places and talked about needless things. And soon it was time for Syaoran and Tomoyo to head back to their own lives.
Sakura fiddled her fingers, she wasn't ready to say goodbye. She watched as Eriol and Syaoran carried his luggage to the car. Her eyes glossed over as the memories of the last few days swirled in her mind. She couldn't let him go…not again. "Matte!" she yelled out causing everyone to look at her.
"Matte…watashi….watashi…I have something to tell you Syaoran," Sakura mumbled while looking downwards. Syaoran looked at her surprised, he was surprised by her sudden outburst. "Okay…" he said softly walking with her to a place more private.
Meanwhile Tomoyo looked over at Eriol, she closed her eyes tightly, "Gomen." Eriol looked up, "What are you talking about?" Tomoyo looked into his eyes and Eriol's eyes widen as he felt her lips on his.
He quickly pushed her off, "We can't do this Moyo…I have Momo now." She felt tears stinging her eyes but she held them in, "Are you saying me and you will never have a chance to be together?" Eriol took a deep breath, "It's too late now Moyo…me and you…it was over the day you asked me if I was going to tell Syaoran. You don't love me Moyo…you love the feeling of being in love."
Tomoyo shook her head, "No…that's not true Eriol!" Eriol looked at her sadly, "Goodbye Moyo."
:------------------------------:
Sakura looked up at Syaoran and took a deep breath. "Yeah?" Syaoran asked breaking the silence. Sakura's emerald eyes seemed to glow as the sunlight reflected against them, "Watashi…watashi…aishiteru." Syaoran froze as the words escaped her lips. "After seeing you again, all my past feelings came back to me Syao-kun…I want…I want us to try again."
Syaoran smiled as he embraced her tightly, "Aishiteru." Sakura smiled as she laid her head in his chest, everything was perfect.
