Chapter 26: I'll Wait For The Day
"Sak…" Syaoron whispered back. He couldn't tell what kind of shock that was on her face…happiness? Sadness? Guilt?
Sakura suddenly squatted and covered her face. She didn't know how to feel…was he really here or was he another illusion she had conjured?
Syaoron stunned bent to help her up. She looked at him again and again but couldn't' find anything to tell her she was dreaming…
"Are you all right?" Syaoron asked pulling her up.
Sakura could do nothing but hold him. She held on for dear life, somewhere between holding him and hoping it wasn't a dream the tears started to pour.
"Syaoron…is it really you?" Sakura asked brokenly. She stepped back and examined his amber eyes. It was exactly the same she remembered and Sakura closed her eyes in relief.
" How's life?" Syaoron asked her all of a sudden, "after all it seems pretty happy with you and my cousin…"
Sakura eyes widened. Is this what he thought?
"No… it's actually…" She protested
Syaoron hadn't listened and continued talking. "Well you know happiness wasn't ever anything I could give you and now that you've found it I'm happy for you…you can even keep my money, I had no ish to have the Li position as well…You know I'm getting married as well…"
Sakura stared at him so lost. For almost four years she had mourned for him…then at the spur of the moment he shows up as if he never left and announces his marriage to her?
"Syaoron…why are you remarrying?"
Syaoron felt a little anger flash through him and he forced a "smile" on his face, "why Sakura…for the same reason as you did! Happiness away from you"
Sakura stood stunned at his words…was this Syaoron/ her Syaoron would never do this to her…
"But…"
"There was no but when you married my cousin without me there" Syaoron said bitterly neither masking his disgust nor resentment for her.
Sakura backed away and couldn't believe it. Syaoron had never…
"You don't understand…we all thought you were dead!"
"Dead?" Syaoron laughed, "So that's why no one ever found me? What of my body? Did you bury a nice rock as a place holder for me, my dear EX wife?" Syaoron asked with almost a mock ness to his voice.
Syaoron could se he was hurting her but she ha d hurt him first…he just wanted to give her the pain that she had jutted into him. He turned away and started to walk away.
"Syaoron…Please, Take me with you!" Sakura begged running to him. Sakura had run and threw herself upon his back in desperation. "I never wanted this…"
"I never did as well" Syaoron said swallowing his compassion for her, "I wanted something totally different, but our goal has always been different huh Sakura?"
"No! Syaoron…you have to…"
"To what?" Syaoron asked without turning around, "Nothing Sakura…I have to go back to my fiancée now…she'll worry…"
Sakura stared helpless at the situation. She hadn't wanted this at all…
"Stop!" Sakura cried out in pain "Syaoron please…I don't want what's yours…you can toss me aside for your love but…PLEASE don't do this to your kids!"
Syaoron stopped and without turning he asked in a soft voice, "where are they?"
Sakura neared and held his shoulder; " I sent them to Tomoyo to protect them…"
"From who? You?" Syaoron asked.
"From Chen Xin" Sakura said
"What are you trying to tell me? That he doesn't love my children? Do I have to take custody of them before you abandon them as well" Syaoron asked harshly, "it's fine, I'll take them…"
Sakura buried her head in her hands. The tears rushed down through her fingers as she tried to clear her throat and explain his accusations at her.
" I'm sure my fiancée would love to have them!" Syaoron added coldly and walked away.
"Syaoron…" Sakura said brokenly, "Will you not let me explain…"
" I've heard enough to gather the reasons"
"Then you don't care?" Sakura asked brokenly
"No" Syaoron said and continue walking away.
"Wait…if you don't feel that you care about this situation then at least care for the kids…"
"I'll do that," He stated
"I think this belongs to you too," Sakura said softly handing him the wedding ring she wore around her neck.
"This should be taken with you" Sakura said brokenly, "If we truly can't be together anymore.
"Thank you" Syaoron said emotionlessly accepting it.
"You're wrong Syaoron…I sent our kids away because I love them…I love you too! Don't leave me here…" Sakura begged
"You woman's know how to act every time a guy walks by huh?" Syaoron asked sarcastically. Deep within his heart He knew he was hurting himself more than she was hurting him.
"Syaoron…this is how goodbyes going to be?" Sakura asked
In an act of what he really wanted he turned around and grabbed her. In a tight embrace he buried his head into her crook of her neck.
Sakura held him tight and complied to his fierce hug.
"Syao…please as a last request, come see me tomorrow…"
He never said anything but nodded.
Syaoron didn't wait; he slammed his mouth down on hers and gave her the kiss he'd been waiting years to give her, a sweet and utter surrender.
Sakura enjoyed it immensely, it showed her no matter what he still had feelings for her…and if that was all…it was enough.
Syaoron swayed away all of a sudden and walked away as if nothing had happened. Sakura confused stood in a daze and watched him turn the corner leaving her stunned by his actions.
"Syaoron!" Sakura screamed running to the corner to watch him walk away. "I LOVE YOU! NO matter what!"
She saw his steps halted s he contemplated that thought the he walked again. Sakura knew he was going to his fiancée and it hurt. She didn't want this!
"Syaoron…" Sakura whispered as he disappeared under the trees.
All right ppl this song is from my friend who dedicated this song to Sakura and Syaoron, she knew about this chapter already and wanted me to add these lyrics! They actually fit the story so take the time to read it too plz!
Perhaps it was time to say goodbye to you,
Maybe it was fate,
To leave our love this way...
It seems like a distant memory
But it hurts to admit
I love you still today…
Sakura watched for a while longer until she thought her heart would burst. Clenching her fist she ran to find him. She couldn't let her dream go to waste…she just couldn't!
Even if they were over now…she never wanted to believe there was nothing between them anymore…not unless he looked at her straightforward and could say it to her face.
She watched him turn to an apartment and she followed running. Breathing hard she didn't care if she fainted now…she couldn't lose sight of him! Not now…not ever!
But I didn't understand,
Why leaves fell like sand
The time has run out
I watch you go
You can't be here
But I want you here!
Sakura turned the last corner as he did and Sakura saw a girl run into his arms. He didn't hesitate to kiss her hotly as she wrapped her arms around him in possession.
'That was my place!' Sakura thought
She held the tears back and stepped closer, she wanted to know who had taken her Syaoron…who had taken her place. Heaving hard, she stepped out of the shadows that had concealed her.
"Syaoron…" Sakura said announcing her presence, "Is this your Fiancée?"
He turned to look at Sakura and he didn't have to tell her…it was there in his eyes…Sakura took a step backward when Sakura saw her face peer at her…It couldn't Be!
Don't tell me because the answer's in your eyes
You drifted away like years ago, leaving me again
You said goodbye but I didn't want to believe you
Till you dropped my hand and left me
Never looking back,
I love you…
"Kiyoko?" Sakura whispered in disbelief. When her vision cleared and it still was Kiyoko she stepped back. She couldn't stop the tears now…the two she trusted most had backstabbed her…to be together.
"Syaoron…" Sakura whispered and looked away as she wiped her tears and lifted her head back to him. She looked him directly in the eye and said loudly, "Omedetou! Congratulations "
With that Sakura turned and fled, She didn't look down as she tripped and fell to the ground skinning her arms and injuring her knee. Sakura flinched at the pain as she got up. She felt hands help her and saw Syaoron's face. Sakura flinched away from his touch and for once he saw the defiant Sakura who opposed him.
"Be there at 10:30, in the garden! I don't want anything…so please take it all back!" Sakura sobbed and pushed his support away.
Syaoron watched as tears stung his eyes. She walked proudly clenching her arms and hobbled on her right knee as the other bled freely.
"Sakura…wait…I'll" Syaoron started
"Do nothing…it doesn't concern you after all" Sakura said softly, " you've done enough Syaoron…You've destroyed me…never had I imagined to fall so greatly…I should've never depended on you…should've near gave in…God…Why Syaoron…why did you and Kiyoko do this to me…out of everyone…Kiyoko…"
Without another word Sakura struggled using the brick wall as support and hobbled home. She never looked back.
Sakura eyes hurt from too much crying…she felt the numbness settling into her arms and knees. Yet in her heart she knew she no longer was the defiant Sakura that stood against Syaoron back then. That Sakura had already died. The only thing was the flooding of the memories from then…
Thinking back to memories of you and me
I won't lie anymore
I admit I love you so
But our story's closing rapidly
Like the pages of a book
Our love buried
Beneath all the mistakes and hate
I still believe
The true meaning of our love
Was buried between two hearts
Sakura reached the gate that she and Syaoron had put up three years ago. Leaning against it she knew in her heart, she wouldn't be able to hate Syaoron anymore as she did when they were unmarried…because now she had matured…and understood…
"Syaoron…" Sakura whispered looking towards the sky. They day she wished to finally meet him again had been a nightmare…
No matter howI cursed or cry
I couldn't get myself to hate you
You left me
But I can't see
Past these memories
Sakura went inside and as each worried maid tended to her wounds she couldn't feel each passing memory of Syaoron and her past through her mind.
……………………………………………………………………………………………..
Meanwhile
"I can't Kiyoko" Syaoron said after seeing Sakura do that.
"Why?" Kiyoko asked in a panic.
"I still love her…" Syaoron said swallowing the lump that formed at his throat.
"Why?"
"Who were you to her Kiyoko" Syaoron asked, "How does she know you…Why would she contact you about her marriage, didn't she know I was with you? Didn't you tell her?" Syaoron asked confused.
Kiyoko shut her eyes, "I was her friend after you had died…I could've told her about you but she had already married by the time I found my brother and you."
Syaoron was silent so she continued. If they were going to get married, no more secrets!
"I fell in love with you…I never noticed how strong it was until I was taking care of you…I thought you were really handsome when I first saw your picture hanging over the fireplace."
Syaoron clenched his fist tightly, "The engagement's off!"
"Syaoron!" Kiyoko protested.
"I'll go to a hotel for the night!" Syaoron said and started walking off.
"You can't have her anyways!" Kiyoko cried aloud.
……………………………………………………………………………………………..
Sakura buried her head into her pillow and tuned to her world. The maid finally finished fussing over her mistress and left the radio on…slowly a song started to play. Sakura felt the tears come as the lyrics song sunk into realization.
Another song my friend wrote! Thank a lot to her
A world apart
And still I think of you
Hoping each day
You will come back
For my heart hasn't turned away
Still looking for you
Sakura buried her head underneath her blanket. She wanted to hear no more of her pitiful life waiting! She didn't want to her it! She already lived it! Shutting her eyes tight she willed an unbearable pain rising from her chest to go away.
Walking slowly
Fadely lost in time
Wondering why
Paths has entwined
And although I keep crying inside
A smile I'll show only for you
I will wait for you
Till the day I close my eyes and leave this world
I will watch for you
Till the sun and moon disappears from the earth
Sakura knew this line was true… but never did she want to admit it again…nothing would change the fact that Syaoron was gone and She, had lost!
Your soft sweet smile
I dream of every night
Tells me to hold on tight
Promising me
As the moon glows brightly at night
I close my eyes tight
Crushing the pain
For love hurts and shatters like ice
I wish you were next to me
Although he couldn't be here…she knew this was where she wanted him, next to her comforting her. GOD she just wanted to be in his arms as she listened to his breath even into deep sleep.
Catching dreams
Holding it lightly
Your dark eyes
Held me tight
I shut my eyes and hope to never awake
So I will never be far
If the only way
To see you is through dreams
Then let the moon rule me
Bringing me dreams.
Sakura reached out quickly and unplugged the radio before the end. It was as if her sorry life was playing in front of her and wouldn't end! She had enough of seeing it. It was too true and close; it was to dear to her now!
Plus at the moment she wished slumber would take her and never would she have to awaken to such a cruel fate as this like the song suggested. To bad…it was only a song that could turn off…unlike her life right now. She knew shoe couldn't be moping around now…she had to do what was right even if she couldn't be with Syaoron…she didn't own what was his and he'd get it back tomorrow!
……………………………………………………………………………………………..
" I know I can't have her anymore" Syaoron said softly
"She's MRS. CHEN XIN LI" Kiyoko reminded him, "If she's happy why won't you be with me!"
"Because she didn't look damn happy!" Syaoron shouted
"Well…maybe it was an act!" Kiyoko proclaimed.
"It doesn't matter…I felt hr sincerity" Syaoron mumbled and walked away from Kiyoko.
"Goodbye!" He said louder for her.
"SYAORON!" Kiyoko said sadly
"I'll wait…I'll still wait for the day…to be with her…" Syaoron said and walked away without ever looking back at the one he left behind.
