Hi everyone! This isn't exactly a chapter, since it's so short, I had the idea of making this a one-shot, but I insisted not.

Disclaimer: I don't own CCS, CLAMP does, so no sueing.

Chapter 5 she's alright

Tomoyo was still worried over Sakura she tried screaming in her ears, tickling her feet, but nothing worked. Meiling was worried also, but she wasn't worried over Sakura, for she knew Sakura was strong, but Syaoran's stress had really got over the line.

"Syaoran, can I talk with you?" Meiling asked. "Leave me alone." He replied coldly without any emotion. Seems like all Sakura taught him had disappeared. "But you've been alone for a long time, you got to." "LEAVE ME ALONE MEILING!" Syaoran screamed. "All right." Meiling shrugged. It was obvious it wasn't on purpose, but it still hurt. Eriol gave Meiling a signal so she knew that to be quiet. "Sakura's struggling to get out." He said a moment later. "But why can't she?" Meiling asked. "Because…" Eriol stopped.

"I can sense she liked Syaoran, in a way, well, more than a friend." Eriol said. "Love you mean." Meiling corrected him. "Right, well, she's trying to get back to him, but isn't sure if he feels the same way. She's confused. If she knows for sure Syaoran needed her, she could come through this." Eriol sighed.

"What's the matter? Isn't this great news?" Meiling's face glimmered. "Oh yeah, how does she know that without making contact with him in the first place." Meiling's face fell. "That's not a problem. Sakura's magical, if she could sense Syaoran, which she could, and sense one way or another, he needed her in a way indescribable, then, she could come back." Eriol scratched his head.

"But, why can't we just tell Syaoran to do so?" Meiling started walking. "Wait, it means, if he's acting it out, not true love can just break Sakura's heart just as easily." Eriol explained. "So he'll have to figure this out himself." Meiling said to herself. "Right, but Syaoran only have little time left, because Sakura's alright for now, but not for long…"

That explained it. Sakura isn't sure that Syaoran loved her back, so she can't use all her power to get out of that dream world. But Syaoran had to show Sakura her cared for her more than everything else without knowing what'll happen because of one single tear. I gave away a hint in there, find it, it'll help with the ending.
