CHAPTER TWO: Ray Shinohara
o0o---- Syaoran's Point of View ----o0o----
As Sakura and I entered their house, she began to scream! Oh my gosh… I think my ear drums just broke… Anyways, in accordance to her reaction, these people that where here were the people she least expected to be here. Then she yelled again. This time, she yelled names. "TTTTOOOOOOMMMMMMMMOOOOOOYYYYYYOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" then she ran to Tomoyo, who still had her long hair and was still the same old Tomoyo that I know, I think… Hey, I can be wrong, right? I just hope I'm not…
"Sakura-chan!" Tomoyo said as she hugged Sakura. Truly, they were excited to see each other. It looks like they haven't seen each other for a century… Tomoyo then saw me closing the door behind me and greeted, "Syaoran-kun… I'm glad you're here… You see… Sakura-chan has been sooo….."
"Okay… Ahehehe… Enough of that Tomoyo…" Sakura said with a large sweat drop on her head while she covered Tomoyo's mouth. It seemed like Tomoyo enjoyed the moment even though someone was preventing her from talking. It looks like she's even smiling and wanted to get her camera and film this, RIGHT NOW…
Sakura then let go of Tomoyo after a few minutes and greeted Tomoyo's mother. "Hi Aunt Sonomi… It's good to see you two again…" Sakura said as she hugged Tomoyo's mother. Then she replied, "It's good to be back here too, Sakura… we missed Japan so much…"
Tomoyo was smiling until Sakura grabbed her and me and then she dragged us to the living room. Tomoyo's mother and Sakura's dad looked at each other and then Sakura's father said, "Look's like you won't have the chance to rest for tonight…" then he smiled.
"Looks like it…" she replied.
Anyways, back to us. Sakura and Tomoyo have been talking for only 3 minutes and yet, Sakura has already told maybe about 10 stories to Tomoyo… So, exactly how many years have they really been separated to miss each other like this?
For the past minutes, I have been completely ignored by Sakura and Tomoyo. They kept on talking and talking like there's no tomorrow. I stood up. Sakura noticed me and asked, "Where are you going Syaoran?"
"Look, it's getting really late and I still have work tomorrow… I'll just see you…okay…" I finally said as I started to walk towards the door. Sakura followed me outside and told me, "Um… Syaoran… Thanks for everything…"
I really didn't know what she was talking about… So I asked… "What are you talking about?"
"You know… about what had happened a while ago… Thanks for the comfort… I really needed that…" she said. Wow… It does feel amazing to comfort a person that you really love… especially when they say "Thanks" to you... I mean, this might become a step to success… right? "Don't mention it… That's what friends are for, right?" I said and smiled at her then left.
As I reached my apartment, I grabbed an empty notebook and started to record everything that had happened today. It's like this would be my diary. But then, to keep safe of the names if ever someone would dare to read it, I didn't put them. I used third person names…
The next day, I went off to work. Yes, I know that just got here… But hey, that's what the connections are for, right…? I was hired at this company that also had one in Hong Kong. So I was easily accepted… Actually, that company belongs to my family. So, it really wasn't that hard. I work from 8 in the morning up until 7 in the evening.
That lunch, I went out. I went to Sakura's office and wanted to take her out to lunch. But, to my surprise, she was still with Ray. I had no idea what had happened but I thought they already broke up yesterday? What's up with this! I wanted to know so I approached Sakura and Ray who were walking towards the parking lot beside the building. "Hey!" I called.
Sakura and Ray looked at me as I jogged towards them. "Hi Syaoran… What are you doing here?" Sakura asked.
"I was hoping that I could ask you out… But it looks like you already have company…" I said as I stopped in front of them.
Sakura then looked at Ray. Then she said, "Oh, I forgot… Ray this is Syaoran Li. He used to be my elementary classmate and friend. Syaoran, this is Ray Shinohara. He is my partner in business and my best friend."
I wondered. Best friend? I mean, you guys just broke up yesterday and now you are best friends? I shook hands with him and then I asked Sakura, "I thought Tomoyo was your best friend?"
"Hey…! Can't I have two best friends at a time…!" she told me.
"I see…. Well, anyway, I'll see you around then… It was nice meeting you, Shinohara… Hope that we could see each other again…" I told them as I started to walk back to my office and eat lunch there all by myself.
After office hours, I tried to go back to Sakura's office. Unfortunately, Shinohara was there too. So, at the site of him, I turned back. I didn't dare to enter in their conversation now. I think Sakura needs the time for them to talk. Of course I am jealous… but hey… Sakura had a life before I even returned and ruined it so… I guess I kinda deserve this feeling to get jealous….
Before I can even be 20 steps away from her office, Sakura and Shinohara guy went out of the doors - I heard the doors open and heard them laughing - and saw me. "Syaoran!" Sakura yelled.
I turned around and saw them and greeted them my "hi". Sakura came to me and said, "Hey, come join us. We are going to have dinner…"
I looked at her in a confusing manner. That is a date between the two of you right… So, why invite me! Anyways, I told her, "Uh… I have some things to do… I can't come today… Maybe some other time…"
Sakura looked a bit sad but didn't really show it. I just kind of felt it. "I just happened to pass by your office on the way home. So, I guess I have to get going… I still have lots of things to do…" I told Sakura and smiled at her. Then I told her, "Bye, bye… I'll see you around sometime." Then I yelled and waved to Shinohara who was a few steps away from us, "I'll see ya around!"
As I drove home, I didn't know what to do. I mean, I don't know what to think and how to act in front of Sakura anymore. Not like the day I came. I thought that I could handle this after all those years. I thought everything would still be the same between us… Guess things really have to change over time… I just never thought of it that way since I was so caught up in training and never thought about things first before I act… Hey! I followed my heart….. That's what most people say if you are confused… Well, you can say that I was when I was back in Hong Kong… They had forced me to do things that I really didn't want to when I got confused over some other things that were now to be confused of, supposedly…
When I arrived in my apartment, I sat at the couch and stared at the TV for hours. I started to think things over if I was still going to continue this or not. But, someone told me that I have to… That's why I came back. That's why I'm suffering this much is because of Sakura. I won't let her go…
Soon as I was able to think, I got up and left again. I didn't know where my feet were taking me… I just followed. After a few minutes, I realized that my feet had led me to Sakura house. The house was lit up again. At this time of the day, I was thinking that Tomoyo was there again, visiting. I stared at the house. What I didn't notice was that there was a car at their garage. Her father can't drive anymore. Whose car was this? I asked my self.
'Till I couldn't take it anymore, I left. I went back to my apartment and started to get ready for bed. This day had been hectic, tough and things that needed to be thought of again had happened…
