CHAPTER NINE: Reminiscing the past…

AUTHOR'S NOTES: Hello once again people! Another chapter is again finished… Well, let's just say that I wasn't doing anything while I was at my older sisters' place and her laptop was there so I grabbed it (well, not literally) and started to write this while the internet was, again, down… sigh…

Anyway, again, I would like to thank those who reviewed for the last chapter…

o- ffgirl-07

o- Firalyn Tiatra

o- Cherryblossom93 – thanks! I will try to update as soon as I can… but of course, I have to prioritize my studies first since I am a struggling CS (computer science) student… ;

o- Sakura Mei Yunalesca

o- Twilight-star1 – hm… never thought of that cause what was on my mind then was that, she did come from China and that there's only one Li clan there… and, Sakura did suspect, right?

Anyway, on with the story!

DISCLAIMER: I do not own Card Captor Sakura…

LAST CHAPTER:

Tina, on the other hand, just shrugged and went back to the chairs near the room where Syaoran was as if waiting for the doctor to tell her that it's alright to go and see him.

o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o

Tina went to the chairs outside Syaoran's room and waited for the doctor to come out. Fifteen whole minutes have passed and she was still waiting. "THE HELL! WHERE ARE THE DOCTORS IN THIS HOSPITAL! I WANNA SEE MY SYAORAN!" she started yelling. Hey, who could blame her? She's been waiting there for hours… The nurses, as soon as she started to yell, ran to her and started to calm her down… The other patients and visitors started searching for the very person who yelled for she had definitely scared and made them jump.

"I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU SAY! I WANNA SEE SYAORAN!" Tina yelled again.

Meanwhile, Sakura was on her way back home, walking and starting to cry again. 'I cannot believe this… Syaoran… How could you? I thought you loved me? Why? Why did you even come back telling me that you love and yet you have a fiancé…' she thought while she kept on walking, not knowing where her feet were talking her.

O - Syaoran's room - O

Syaoran, suddenly opened his eyes slowly. Then he mumbled, "Sakura…?"

Both the doctor and the nurse looked at him with confused faces… "Young man, do you remember your name?" the doctor asked him.

"Of course I do…" he replied, assuring the doctor. "I'm… uh… I…" he started. Then he looked at the doctor and said, "Do you know who I am? I thought I knew… There's this name that keeps on bugging me but I don't know whose name it is… sounds like… a girls name to me…"

"A girl's name? Maybe you are talking about your fiancé… she's outside waiting for you to wake up…"

"I have a fiancé?" Syaoran asked himself as if not believing what he heard.

"Yeah, and if I'm not mistaken, I think she just lost her patience just a few minutes before you woke up…" the nurse, this time, explained.

Syaoran tried to search his memory for any clue of the name that he keeps on remembering and, searching for this fiancé that he felt like he really didn't have… Failing to remember anything, he asked the doctor and the nurse, "Are you sure I have a fiancé? By the way, do you know who this 'Sakura' is?"

The doctor knew that this would somehow happen… but, he didn't expect to have Syaoran remember any name or event from his past… Of course, if anyone helps him recover them… "I really don't know if she is your fiancé… but that who she said she was… and this 'Sakura' you are talking about… I also do not know who she is… maybe, as I said a while ago, that is the name of your fiancé… the reason why it kept on bugging you is because, maybe, you missed her too much…"

"Um… look… I know that I don't recall my past… but I, for one thing, know that I do not have a fiancé!" Syaoran said.

Taken aback, the doctor tried to calm him down for he still isn't that healed enough to even start yelling. "Ok… I'm sure it was just a mistake… anyway, Mr. Li, you have to take a rest… you are still not healthy enough to even move around.

"The hell I care! I wanna know who this 'Sakura' person is!" Syaoran yelled.

O - Back outside the room - O

"The hell I care! I wanna know who this 'Sakura' person is!" Tina heard Syaoran yell.

'Sakura? Who is this Sakura?' Tina asked herself with much anxiety as Syaoran. (A/N: I just realized that Sakura and Tina wasn't introduced properly… I mean, yeah, Tina did introduce herself but Sakura didn't… I'm thinking that maybe Tina saw a card or something that only contained Sakura's surname or something… anyway, on with the story…)

O – Sakura – O

She was walking… Actually, she didn't know where her feet led her. But when she looked at the surroundings, she noticed that she was at the Penguin Park. She sat at the swing and started to think and cry, again.

'Why Syaoran… Why?' she asked herself as if Syaoran is inside her.

flashback

"Sakura…" Syaoran called Sakura, a middle school student, as she was about to exit the school premises.

Sakura looked around as she and her best friend, Tomoyo, stopped on the way. "Yeah?"

"Sakura… I need to talk to you… Please?" Syaoran said.

She then walked closer to Syaoran. But before that, she looked at Tomoyo and gave her a look that said that she could go without her, and she did. "Syaoran-kun, is something wrong?" Sakura asked as she stopped beside Syaoran.

"Sakura… I need to tell you something before it's too late…"

Sakura looked at him, confused. "Too late? Too late for what, Syaoran?"

Syaoran looked down at the ground. They were the only ones left in school cause they had practices (soccer, cheerleading and choir to be exact). "I'm… I'm leaving the country in a few days…" he said.

Sakura stared at him then said, "What? But, when are you coming back?"

"I don't know… My mom called me last night and wanted me home… I didn't want to leave this town but I have to…" Syaoran explained.

"But Syao… You… I…" Sakura started but nothing sensible was coming out of her mouth.

"Look, that's not the only thing that I want to tell you…"

"What is the other thing?" Sakura asked not wanting to hear it anymore… She didn't know why, but somehow, upon hearing Syaoran's announcement about him leaving, it somehow broke her heart.

Syaoran, at first, didn't know where to start. He was trying alright. But somehow he knew he couldn't do it. "Sakura… I…"

Sakura was staring at Syaoran waiting for him to tell her the 'other thing' that he wanted to tell her even though she somehow knew that it was something, again, that would break her heart.

He sighed before trying to say it again. Then took a deep breath and said, "Sakura, taiski desu…"

"N… n… nani…?" was all Sakura could say. There is something in her that is somehow happy. But, she thinks that she doesn't feel is so she dragged all those happiness out of her. "Sy… Syao… ran…"

"It's okay Sakura… I know that this would somehow happen…" Syaoran told Sakura. Then he continued, "Sorry… I… I have to go… Thanks for everything… You taught me almost everything about feeling things… for extracting my real self from my cold heart."

Syaoran then started to walk pass Sakura and started to leave the school when Sakura called him. "Syaoran-kun!"

With a lifted spirit, Syaoran looked back to see Sakura running towards him. "Syaoran-kun…" Sakura called again in between breathing, catching up with Syaoran by the gate of the school.

"Ano ne… Syaoran-kun… Watashi wa, anata no koto des…" Sakura told Syaoran.

(I cannot answer your question right now… A/N: Well, I'm guessing that's the right translation that I got from the 2nd movie of CCS, if my memory servers me right that is… I haven't watched that for so long… TT please correct me if I'm wrong…)

Syaoran looked at her with hopeful eyes. Somehow, he knew that he has a chance… Sakura wouldn't admit it though. "Sakura-chan, it's alright… I understand…" He said then he smiled at her.

end of flashback

Sakura then looked up to the sky that was about to pour heavy rain. But she didn't care. She still sat there, crying… thinking…loving a lost… and searching for the lost…

"I miss you so much, Syaoran…" Sakura said as the rain then started to pour on her getting her all wet.

O – Syaoran – O

The doctor went out of Syaoran's room to find a calmed Tina with nurses beside her just in case she starts yelling again.

"Miss…?" the doctor asked.

"Ti… I mean Sakura… Sakura Li… Is it alright to see him?" she asked and lied about her identity.

"Oh, so you might be the Sakura that Mr. Li was talking about…" the doctor said. "I thought so… Anyway, you can go and visit him now, but with a word of caution. Please do not stress him out or say anything about his past for now. It'll be a few days before you, or someone else for that matter, can try to help him gain his memories."

"Sure, sure… What-ever! Can I go see him?" she demanded.

"As I said, yes you can but do no—" the doctor tried to warn her again about not stressing him out but before he can eve finish, she walked pass him and into Syaoran's room.

"Syaoran honey!" she yelled, again, as soon as she saw Syaoran at the bed trying to think.

He looked at the stranger who just flew in and asked, "Do I know you?"

"Of course you do, honey! I'm Sakura! You're fiancé!" she said as she approached Syaoran and sat beside him.

Syaoran looked at her with great interest. "O really… so how come you don't have your emerald eyes anymore? I seem to have this blurry dream about a girl with emerald eyes and I keep on calling her the name 'Sakura'." Syaoran explained.

"You see honey, I've kinda changed my appearance while you were being observed by the doctors. Don't you like the new me?" Tina asked. 'Oh my gawd… I cannot believe he is falling for this stupid trick!' she thought, laughing evilly inside her.
