LAST CHAPTER:
While they were fighting, little did they know, Sakura was not beside them anymore.
o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o
Inside the hospital, there were two young women and one man around their twenties fighting. Yeah, it is rude cause there are a lot of people resting inside the hospital. But neither of them cared. They just continued on yelling…
"WHO ARE YOU TO CALL HER THAT?" the man with navy blue hair yelled to the other.
Meanwhile, they didn't notice that one of their friends was already missing, the one that needed their attention mostly. But, she just went out, walking in her own pace, not knowing that she was already walking into the person responsible for her sickness…
She walked inside a room, the nearest room that she could possibly enter. When she entered the room, she saw a man lying down his bed. He looked like he was thinking about something really deep. Even though she didn't know the man, she still had the courage to talk to him. "Hi… Um… Do you mind? I don't like hanging around people who are fighting…" she said with her soft voice.
The man looked to his side only to find an angel looking at him with a smile plastered on her face. "No… Certainly not… Please, sit down…" he said. Then he continued, "Who might you be?" he asked.
She closed the door and walked to the nearest chair she could find. "I'm Sakura Kinomoto… And you?" she asked before sitting.
Feeling that somehow he could trust this Kinomoto girl, he told her, "Syaoran Li… You look familiar… Have we met?"
Sakura looked at him as she tilted her head a bit to the right and said, "I don't think we have…"
Suddenly, Syaoran's head starts to ache. "Itai…" he said a bit loud as he held his head with his hands.
Being concerned about her "new found" friend, she stood up and walked closer to him, "You alright?"

"Sakura-chan, taiski desu…" he said, telling it to a girl with auburn hair and emerald eyes.
another flashback
"Sakura-chan! Gambate ne!"
another flashback
Sees himself kissing that girl.
another flashback
A picture of a girl with auburn hair and emerald eyes. It was blurry. But little by little it became clear. It was now clear that that girl was the one he had been talking to, Kinomoto Sakura.
end of flashbacks
Slowly, Syaoran opened his eyes and saw Sakura with a worried look on her face sitting beside him in the bed. "Sakura…?"
"Daijoubu, Li-kun…?" she asked.
"What's with the "Li", Sakura?" he asked.
o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o
The three started to clam down as almost all the doctors in the hospital came to them and told them that none of the patients seem the get some rest and they couldn't concentrate on what they had to do.
"Look, I came here since I heard that the famous Li Syaoran was in an accident, alright? I was a big fan of his back when he was modeling in Hong Kong. I know you won't believe it but yeah, he was…" Tina started to explain to Tomoyo and Eriol. 'I wanted to meet him in person and be with him… Even though it only meant being with him for a day or two. But when I suddenly heard that he had amnesia from one of the nurses, I took the chance… Of wanting to be with him forever."
flashback – Tina telling the story
"Hey! Did you guys hear! Xiao-lang had an accident in Japan on his way home! Poor Xiao-lang…" one of the girls in a membership club said.
I was sitting at the back of the room. Even though I was a huge fan, I never liked sharing my stuff and all that I know about Syaoran. I decided to have a plan of my own.
The next day, I left my parents a note on my desk…
Mama, Papa,
I have gone to Japan to meet Xiao-lang. I know that all you guys wanted for me was to be happy… And now, I am actually doing this… I'm meeting my dream guy in Japan! He had an accident there and I thought that maybe this is my chance to see him even though it was only for a minute or two… So please, don't worry… I'll be home as soon as I can, alright? Take care, you guys… I love you…
Tina
I left and flew to Japan that day at around 11 in the morning, eager to see Syaoran in person. I found out that flew to Japan that day at around 11 in the morning, eager to see Syaoran in person. I found out that he was confined in the Tomoeda City hospital so I went there are soon as I could check-in in a hotel and had my luggage placed in my room.
When I got there, I sat at the chairs near the room where Syaoran was being held in an operation. Then, I heard from one of the nurses that came out of the room during the operation that he had amnesia. Then when the doctor came out and asked for a relative, I stood up, wanting to somehow be with him even though he really didn't know me. But hey, he had amnesia so I took my chance telling the doctor that I was a fiancé.
An hour later, a girl came looking for the hell I knew at the nurse station. I witnessed her collapse and helped the nurses put her in a room. Bored while waiting for Syaoran, I stayed beside this Kinomoto girl. That's the only info that I got from the nurses that placed her in a room. That was when I knew that she was also looking for Syaoran. I didn't know why nor did I know if they had any relationship or anything. When she asked for my name, of course, I didn't want to tell a lie. So I told her that I was Tina Li… Yeah. I am a Li. A very, very, very distant relative of the Li's so not anyone of them knew any of my close relatives cause we are not that rich as them. So you can say that we are really not that related. Maybe that was why I was so much attracted to him.
When she asked me if I was at any way related to Syaoran, that I can't deny that I was lying. I told her that I was his fiancé. Hey, I didn't want any leak-outs that time. I was eager to see him and talk to him. When she said that she didn't want to see him anymore, I didn't know what I have done, so many questions where popping out of no where that time. My "what ifs" where there and not only 10, but a lot…
Losing my patience that time, I started yelling like I was a three year old girl wanting see her mother. I was so eager. I didn't want anyone to take Syaoran away from me at that point since those questions that popped out. That's when I started to become the "bitchy" fiancé, or should I say, long distant relative who is in-love with her long distant cousin.
end of flashback
After hearing her story, Tomoyo and Eriol were somehow disappointed in her and at the same time feeling pity for the girl. For being so left out in the family and at the same time for wanting so much in life that she knew she wouldn't actually get when she doesn't take action.
"So, you mean, you just made the whole thing up? And that Syaoran's mother didn't set this up?" Eriol asked her, now in a calm way.
"Heck I wouldn't be here anymore even if his mother told me to! I would still be there living a normal life! I would be too happy if just either one of them, even though it isn't Xiao-lang, talked to us. I mean, they have never talked to our side of the family since who knows when." Tina explained.
Tomoyo is somehow getting all of this. She understood her situation. "So, you really didn't mean it when you wanted to take Sakura's place in Syaoran's heart?" she asked.
"I didn't even know that they had a relationship… I just realized that the day Syaoran was always looking for this Sakura girl. I didn't even know who she was until today. So, I had to take her place for Xiao-lang. What I didn't image was that someday this Sakura girl would actually show up, taking Xiao-lang." she once again explained. "Sorry I had to yell at you guys. I was just trying to keep my image as that bitchy fiancé… 'Ya know…" she said.
"It's alright… We understand…" Tomoyo said while she had a hand patting Tina at the back.
Tears starting to flow out of her eyes, Tina thanked the couple and left the building to go back to her hotel and pack.
o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o
"What?" Sakura asked Syaoran. She had no idea what he was saying.
Tomoyo and Eriol entered the room only to find a confused Sakura looking at Syaoran and Syaoran looking at Sakura as if he was ready to kill someone for thinking that Sakura was angry with him for using his last name. They both stopped at the doorway and watched the scene.
But, what they didn't know is that Syaoran saw them. "Who are you?" he asked them
Both of them had their jaws dropped. Okay…. Stay calm… He had amnesia and only remembered Sakura's name. Now that he saw Sakura, his memory of her came back… But what about Sakura? Will she ever remember Syaoran after everything that had happened?
