Chapter 4: I know…
Author: sapphire-Lady-of-the-Night
"Remember this Sakura I will always love you no matter what!" Intense amber eyes looked in to emerald ones. "Always!"
"Always…"
"always…" Sakura watched Syaoran as he boarded the airplane going back to Hong Kong.
"Always"
"Always what? Sakura are you even listening to me?" Tomoyo was frowning impatiently.
"Gomen… what were you saying?" Sakura asked weakly.
"You're thinking of the old times again, weren't you?" Tomoyo asked.
"I just couldn't help it Tomoyo" Sakura sighed. "It's so hard to order your mind and heart when you yourself wanted to"
"Oh Sakura when will you stop hurting yourself… you're hurting yourself don't you know?" Tomoyo touched Sakura's hand.
They were having a cup of coffee in a café. A week had passed since the day Hirigizawa came.
"Let's talk about something else" Sakura said. "What were you saying a while ago?"
"Oh? Well… Eriol has asked me out." Tomoyo said.
"Really?" Sakura grinned remembering how the two first met. "You didn't turn it down now, did you?"
"What are you saying? Of course I did!?" Tomoyo frowned.
Sakura sighed. Tomoyo never had any boyfriend. There were a lot asking for her alright but she turned them all down. Tomoyo was afraid on what happened to Sakura. Falling deeply in love and now… terribly hurt.
"Look Tomoyo, you shouln't let your fears get in your way." Sakura sighed. "You should allow yourself the bliss of falling in love and being loved in return. It's a wonderful feeling… a feeling nothing can match."
Tomoyo stubbornly looked away. Her eyebrows were set into a frown. "Look Tomoyo I tell you it's worth the risk. You'll never know how it feels like until you try."
"Thanks but I'm not interested to know how it will feel like" Tomoyo said.
"So you'll just keep those doubts and fears in you then" Sakura said. "Someday Tomoyo you will understand… why even if it hurts I still remember…"
Even if he doesn't remember… Even if he will not know… I will keep the memories… so that it will not be like nothing happened…
"Syaoran?"
A voice was calling him.
"Syaoran?"
It came again more insistent this time.
"Syaoran Li are you alright?"
Syaoran looked and met the crystal blue gaze of his angel.
"Huh? Y-yeah…" he stammered.
Kari Miyuki's brows frowned in concern.
"You're lying mister" She squeezed his hand.
He squeezed back.
"It's nothing really Kari" he smiled.
"It's the Kinomoto girl, isn't it?"
"Huh? What does Kinomoto got to do with this?" Syaoran frowned confused.
"There's something bothering you… I can tell… from the day after that night in the Cherry blossom circle."
"Yes there's definitely something bothering me but I just can't put my finger on it"
"Syaoran… tell me honestly… do you still love me?"
"Course I do Kari what kind of question is that?"
Kari just smiled but it was not her happy carefree one like Kinomoto's when she's happy… ach! Where did that come from! Kari has this smile her all-knowing-smile… she can always see right through a person.
"Someday Syaoran the truth will catch up on you" She said.
"What do you mean Kari" Syaoran asked more confused than ever.
"It's not my place to tell you" She said. "Come, you better go home"
"I'm not going anywhere" Syaoran said stubbornly. What's wrong with his girlfriend anyway? She has almost that look her mother gives him when she knows something and he does not and she wants him to find out… on his own.
"Oh yes you are" Kari tickled him.
"H-hey! S-s-stop!" Syaoran laughed.
"Come on Syao! You've got to go home now you still have classes tomorrow!" Kari said pulling him up.
Syaoran laughed. He pulled his hand, Kari along with it. He hugged her tight.
"Are you meeting someone?" He whispered in her ear. "Why are you kicking me out of your house?"
"Because I'm sick and tired of you" She whispered back.
"you don't mean that" Syaoran said kissing her nape.
"Course I don't" She laughed. "Now Syaoran I just don't want you to be all messed up for your class tomorrow" She frowned.
"Alright, alright I'm going" Syaoran said standing up bringing Kari with him.
"Be careful" Kari said kissing him
"Sure" he smiled.
Just as the green sports car of Syaoran pulled over Luna street a guy with ebony black hair run out of Crescent house.
"Come back here Hirigazawa!" A long black haired girl screeched. She got out of the house and Syaoran could tell she was fuming mad.
"If you promise me a kiss I will" The black haired guy grinned, his sapphire eyes were sparkling.
"Oh! I'll give you a black eye!" She scowled.
"Come off it guys!" Sakura laughed coming out beside Tomoyo.
"Give her bag back Eriol" She wagged her eyebrows at him.
"I will if she'll kiss me" He said mischievously.
"Grrrr… You're digging your grave mister" Tomoyo scowled.
Eriol laughed. Tomoyo looked so cute! He liked the girl but she doesn't like him…
'She's just hiding it'
'Shut it she can't even stand a single minute in a room with you!'
'She's only pretending'
'Yeah pretending to tolerate you when she really can't' he thought sarcastically.
"Give it back Hirigazawa or I'll never forgive you"
"You think I care?" Eriol said.
Syaoran watched at the scene in front of him. Kinomoto's boarder Eriol Hirigazawa was vexing the amethyst eyed girl, Kinomoto's best friend Tomoyo Daidoji. (Spellings please tell me anyone?) Kinomoto was laughing beside her best friend. He liked to gaze at her when she's happy. Whoa! Stop there man stop right there! You're thoughts are starting to trail on something not good!
Suddenly emerald eyes locked with his amber ones. She smiled and waved.
"Heeya there neighbor!" She smiled
"Playing around?" He asked.
"No but they are" Sakura said gesturing to Tomoyo and Eriol.
Suddenly everyone's attention was on him. He smiled uncertainly. Tomoyo looked at him as if he was a piece of dirt.
'Did I say something wrong?' He thought.
"Hello there Li" Eriol greeted him.
"Hello there Hirigazawa." He greeted back.
"Would you mind holding this bag for me for just a while?" Eriol asked.
"Leave me out of your game man!" Syaoran said backing off giving an uncertain glace at the fuming Tomoyo.
"You're not afraid of her are you?" Eriol teased.
"Lesson number one Miss Daidouji is a very unpredictable person therefore never get her angry if you still value your life and good health"
"Oh really? How'd you know?" Eriol smiled interestedly eyeing Tomoyo.
"I… don't know" Syaoran frowned. "I… just can remember… something like that…" He said clutching his head.
"Well I better get inside I'm not feeling too well my world is spinning" He said.
"Are you alright Li?" Sakura asked in concern.
She walked over to him and to everyone's surprise touched Syaoran's forehead with the back of her hands trying to know if he has a fever.
"You're not hot… Are you feeling sick?" She asked.
"Y-yeah" Syaoran said stunned.
"Well you better get inside now… shall I assist you?"
"No… no need for that but thanks for the concern" He answered.
Sakura nodded "Just tell me if you have a problem okay?" She said.
"Sure" Syaoran smiled fondly.
"Oh man you two look like a couple" Eriol said breaking their eye contact. The two turned away from each other. Syaoran walked in his house and closed the door and locked it. He leaned against it.
"What are you doing man?" He asked himself.
"What are you playing at?"
"I'm not playing" He argued.
"Then what was that all about with Kinomoto and what does Kari mean when she mentioned Kinomoto and the truth catching up on me? I don't understand anymore since I came to Japan"
"Maybe Meilin could help you"
"Yeah right she's always secretive and totally avoids the subject about my accident three years ago."
"Stop tiring yourself man and get some sleep" He muttered.
"Sakura?" Tomoyo was scowling at her frustrated. They were inside Sakura's house the crescent house.
"You're angry at me because of what I did" Sakura said it was a statement.
"You're hurting yourself again" Tomoyo replied. "Don't you know that you looked like driving a knife against your heart?"
"I don't care" Sakura said quietly.
"Hey guys what are you talking?" Eriol walked in from the kitchen.
"Oh here's the pig head" Tomoyo rolled her eyes. "You shouldn't try to find out your brain might not be able to function properly after such work. Don't strain yourself"
"Oh is that so? Well then can I have a kiss now?" He grinned.
Tomoyo showed him a fist. "Don't try my patience Hirigazawa"
Eriol just shrugged. "Whatever you say sweetheart" he said walking out of the house.
"Oh! I'm going to kill that man someday!" Tomoyo muttered only to meet Sakura's amused eyes.
"What?" Tomoyo frowned.
"You like him" Sakura said.
"Are you blind? I detest that guy!" Tomoyo scowled.
"No one has ever affected you like this before no what I mean is you never allowed someone to affect you like this before."
"Hey I don't like the guy and he means nothing to me" Tomoyo said.
"Whatever Tomoyo" Sakura sighed.
"Sakura I'm serious about you hurting yourself" Tomoyo insisted.
"There's nothing you can do about it Tomoyo… I still love him and I just can't command my heart" Sakura answered.
"I love him Tomoyo… it doesn't matter if he doesn't recognize me… it doesn't matter if he doesn't remember… it doesn't matter if he loves someone else already…I'll always love him no matter what"
"Oh Sakura you're being stupid you know!"
"I don't expect my feelings to be returned Tomoyo… and you shouldn't hate him. It's not his fault you know that he forgot about me. It's not his fault he fell in love with Kari so you shouldn't hate him Tomoyo. It wasn't his choice to forget me… I know it"
"But Sakura what good will it bring you?"
"You'll find out and understand me when you fall in love"
"That means I'll never understand you and your madness. I'll never fall in love never!"
"You'll eat those words someday Tomoyo. You'll never know… you don't choose to fall in love you know, it just hits you"
