Confusion and Emotion
When Syaoran woke in the morning, his first thought was that the blanket had magically become heavier. The second he looked down though, he almost fainted from shock. Instead of the blanket, Sakura Kinomoto was lying on top of him, fast asleep.
What was more, he was holding her…just like in his dream! God dammit, the friggin' dream he had had last night…hadn't been a dream! Sakura had seriously appeared in his apartment and…oh, my god.
Syaoran gave a yelp and sat up, crashing to the floor as Sakura's cheek slid of his chest, onto the bed. He watched in horror as Sakura sat up and rubbed her eyes sleepily, yawning.
"Syaoran?" she mumbled sleepily, "What time is it?" Syaoran simply gaped at her. She had slipped into his apartment and slept with him and now she was asking the time? He simply couldn't believe this girl. What was her problem?
One year ago…The alarm clock rang loudly as Sakura and Syaoran snoozed on the bed. Syaoran sleepily reached up and slammed the snooze button. This was the second time it had rung. He groaned and snuggled back underneath the covers with his girlfriend. Sakura shifted next to him and rubbed her eyes. She had asked the same question:
"Syaoran? What time is?"
Present…Syaoran shook his head as the memories flooded back into his mind. That had been a year ago. Things had changed. He couldn't be with her anymore. The thought flared his temper and he jumped up as the adrenaline coursed through his veins.
"SAKURA! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING HERE! YOU CAN'T JUST SNEAK INTO MY APARTMENT AND…and…Sakura?"
Syaoran stopped as he looked at Sakura. She was looking at him, he jade-green eyes filled with tears that threatened to run down her cheeks any minute. The pained look on her face expressed a kind of desperate emotion; as if she was trying to say something, to tell him something she hadn't told him before, but just couldn't say.
Syaoran shook his head in confusion. He didn't understand. It had been Sakura who had left him. If she wanted to know the truth, he actually wished she hadn't left. But since she had, he was going to start over. He didn't want her anymore. The memories were too painful for him.
Syaoran hadn't even known that Sakura had been crying until he pulled his thoughts away from his pain. He saw the tears flowing out of her eyes, he body sagging into such a helpless position, that for a moment, Syaoran wanted to comfort her. But he knew he couldn't.
He pushed his comforting thoughts away from his mouth and frowned. It was her fault that she had left him. She shouldn't come back begging him to take her back! She shouldn't have stayed with him!
"Sakura, look, don't cry. I'm sorry I yelled, but you really shouldn't do that! You seriously freaked me out! What if I had a heart attack? Are you listening to me?"
Sakura nodded, still crying. Oh, Syaoran. Her heart ached for him to love her again. His words were in confirmation that his life had moved on. What wouldn't she give to make him care again?
"Sakura? Hello? Have you heard what I said?"
Sakura snapped her head up. She hadn't been listening. Great, now what? Her eyes filled with renewed tears.
"I-I'm sorry."
Syaoran sighed with irritation. Sakura sure hadn't changed. She still didn't listen when you tried to tell her important things. He rolled his eyes at the thought and chuckled. He could feel Sakura looking at him with confusion. He coughed and started over.
"Sakura, you can't come to my apartment like this. It's just that…well, we're not together anymore, and I can't be seeing you…because…because…I have more important things to."
He knew it sounded mean, but he didn't know how else to say it. Syaoran didn't think he could stand another heartbreak. Once was enough. Just once and never again.
"But you can stay until after breakfast," Syaoran added desperately.
Despite his premonitions, he had wanted to see Sakura again, and just, well you know, talk a little. It warmed his heart to see her smile and nod.
In Tokyo…
Tomoyo Daidouji yawned as she walked out of the airport carrying her duffle bag. Despite first-class airplane rides, Tomoyo still found it hopelessly tiring to fly. She yawned again and preceded to hail a taxi.
Back in Hong Kong…Sakura and Syaoran walked stiffly and awkwardly next to each other down the street. They were making their way to a local café for breakfast.
Sakura's thoughts raced as she walked with Syaoran. She simply couldn't believe it. She and Syaoran were together again…in a way. Maybe not completely like before, but at least they were spending the morning together.
Syaoran's mind, on the other hand, was in a state of confusion. He wasn't sure whether he should be happy or upset. Happy, because he was with Sakura, or upset because she was ruining his life…all over again?
Tokyo…When Tomoyo reached Sakura's apartment, she was in a cheerful mood. She had eaten breakfast at McDonalds (do they even have McDonald's in Japan?) and had finally located Sakura's humble quarters. Knocking on the door, Tomoyo called out, "Sakura! It's Tomoyo! Open up already!"
After knocking on the door for about fifteen minutes, Tomoyo knew that something was wrong. Sakura wasn't that mad at her, was she? Perplexed, Tomoyo looked around for the landlord.
Finally, after an hour of searching, Tomoyo located the landlord.
"Um, excuse me sir? Do you know if Sakura Kinomoto is home?"
The old man scratched his balding head and peered out from under his thick glasses.
"Sakura? Why no, the young lady didn't return last night, I was wondering if anyone had found her."
Tomoyo thanked the landlord and exited the building. Sakura hadn't come home? But then, where could she possibly be? She really couldn't have been kidnapped or murdered…could she? The thought struck Tomoyo like a thunderbolt. She would have to notify the police!
