To all reviewers: Guys, thank you, and I'm really glad you actually liked my story, well, here, Li's mystery will uncover, look out… gasp!
---Everything---
It was still night, and it was late. The rain remained falling, and the raindrops harshly making a bugger of Tomoeda. Sakura and Syaoran were inside a decent 24-hour café that served a lot of food other than the usual coffee, tea and cookies… Sakura was gazing at the hungry man that was seated in front of her who was eating his dish timidly though Sakura thought he ate fast. She was again fixing her damp hair, and removed her balls out of her air, and took out some clippers and instead clipped them. Other people on the café looked at the two and were whispering, their mumbles could even been heard.
"Uhmm… Sakura, why are the others looking at us, thinking we two are celebrities?" Syaoran asked the lady innocently, 'He seems regained now' Sakura thought
"Uhh, yeah…" she thought for a fleeting second, 'I guess I really have to narrate on what happened to me since then he left,'
"Did something happen to you?" Li again interrogated to you and she nodded back, as he sipped his coke by a straw…
"Yeah, you do know I'm the newly appointed president of Cloe?"
Li's coke could've have floated back out of his mouth, "Whaaat? Come again!" he asked disbelievingly. 'Does she'.
Sakura knew that was going to happen, anyone who knew her, and didn't know her occupation always yell that long stressed 'what'. Cloe corp. was pretty a big corporation for a woman to handle, especially a woman with the likes of Sakura Kinomoto
"A lot happened when we got separated, you missed a lot of things," Sakura smiled and then it turned again to a neutral form, "and I'm certain I missed a lot of things too," Sakura whispered at him, directing the topic on what happened ago, the suicide attempt. "Why did you want to do that?" 'Or probably what happened to you Syao—Li…' she thought. And she shouldn't call him Syaoran, yeah, they were lovers, but they were lovers before… they were again acquaintances, and Sakura was back to call him Li again.
Li shrugged after a few minutes after Sakura's statement, and then he sighed… "Would you wish me to tell you?" Syaoran asked her, almost like a threat than an offer, Sakura gulped, she hated people talking like that.
"Yeah, try me," she coughed and she tried to look braver,
"It was when I returned to Hong Kong, our family was famous and popular in China, because the family were noblemen in the past. Yelan did disagreed by our future plans…" he looked at her, and looked pale and hurt, she hated remembering their break-up… "But there came a tragic happening, someone or some unknown, unidentified people assassinated the family… everyone… except me…" Sakura gasped, his voice was wispy, and full of pain and regret, and just hearing his voice made her feel pitiful "I was in the background when they killed them," Li added, "They killed Yelan, and my four sisters, Shiefa, Fanran, Feimei and Fuutie, they killed all of them… even Mei—even Meiling…" he again got himself teary-eyed… Sakura knew how he was with his family. He always looked annoyed with his mother, his sisters, and his cousin, Meiling, but deep inside, he cared for them with all his heart… especially Meiling and Yelan…
"I was successful when I escaped, everyone fought, but they were too good on martial arts… I was the only who got away. They showed me my family's red blood, I just can't believe on how some people could be…" he said furiously, but Sakura calmed him down,
"How come you didn't go back here at Tomoeda?" Sakura asked, but she knew in some way he can't… Li was really smart, even more intelligent than Sakura.
"Sakura, I didn't have communication and money, they got them from me, the only thing I was carrying was this sword," he pointed outrageously at the black sword on the other seat beside him… "I spent those years having a hard time working as a laborer, do you know how hard it is to make money from scratch?" Sakura was stricken with horror, she was having a queenly life, but he had a fate of the oppressed,
"Then why didn't you sell that, it looks expensive," Sakura joked, but Li didn't take it lightly, his sense of humor was sucked out of him. Sakura felt it was creepy, the last time she was close at him, he was always the one who made her and Tomoyo and everybody else laugh…
"Are you CRAZY! That's our family honor sword! You just can't sell it!" Li stood up yelling upset, banging the table, some French fries flinging out if the table. One even had a flight and landed at some old man's milk tea… Sakura flinched and so as some other people around, 'My goodness, you're the one who's crazy, Li.'
"Sssssh! You'll make a lot of commotion, Li, you've lost it…" Sakura 'ssshed' at him, and Sakura thanked God he calmed down,
"Sorry, I've lost it there…" he said, apparently bowing in front of Sakura, apologizing
"No, no, don't do that, don't bow Li," Sakura said, 'Great, he's already acting like I'm a voodoo goddess now… sigh…'
"I haven't been around here anymore, I've worked so hard to go here and meet up with Wei,"
"Oh yeah, right, your butler!" Sakura interrupted and Li coughed to get her attention again,
"But it was too late, and all my work was even wasted… Those years I've saved up money were wasted, those nights I didn't have dinner, or those nights not being able to drink or entertain myself were wasted Sakura, all of my sacrifices were gambled, it was good for nothing. Before I came here, he was assassinated; after all, he was also working for the Li…" he said sadly… "Everyone related to the Li was killed that I can tell, I think I'm probably the only one who is living, I'm the only one who got out if trouble, Sakura, what do I do now?"
He hid his head ashamed; he had the most miserable life any young adult could have… he was already cursing himself and his life in his head, 'Goodness, I talk now on my head… what is fucking wrong with me?' he thought, but what's wrong was the things that are happening around him… Everything in his life went out of control and he ended up on the wrong end…
Sakura was fidgeting; she already feels Li's depression and gloom, like the tired man was the mother source of all hatred, war, corruption of the entire and complete universe… She seemed dumbfounded by the fate of her ex-boyfriend… she couldn't picture the happy, carefree, rich and handsome Syaoran being the man with bursting eye bags she sat in front of the table inside the 24-hour diner. She looked at him 'This shouldn't be him in this way, I think I should help him,' she thought, but she didn't want to involve with him now, she didn't want to make a fool out of herself because of him…
"So, what happened to you? You know we definitely need to catch up on things," he said, trying to erase the sad tone on his voice, Sakura looked at him again,
"As for me, I've got one step forward again, I'm the president now," she whispered sensitively, she ended up successfully, but she didn't want to make Li even more hurt, even though he was now just a former lover… "as for Chiharu and Yamazaki, they're married now, you definitely should eat at their restaurant,"
"Oh yeah, I remember Takashi and Chiharu having sex by 22, it really shocked me, good thing they married each other, kids?" Li said as he tried to lay a smile on his face despite all of what happened… Sakura shook her head
"Nah, Yamazaki's too low for that," she giggled, which helped Li lighten up a bit, "Naoka became a famous writer here, you ever read 'Chambalant Dreams'? It was a book she wrote, even though it's the only book she wrote now, it was a rampaging best seller, it was a great stepping stone, though the story really looked similar with my childhood adventures"
"Yeah, I've heard it was awesome, but I can't afford to buy it now…" Li sighed again, he hated being poor, he hated every reason, every cause and every effect of being poor…
"Rika's a grade school teacher now, teaching math…" Sakura added, changing the subject quickly,
"What happened to the brunette bastard?" Li asked, Sakura looked at him blankly at first, then he remembered what he was referring to… it was her big bro, Touya,
"Oh, he followed daddy's footsteps, became a really good archeology professor on Tomoeda University, you should've not gone abroad, you could've enjoyed your last years, since Touya was starring as a professor there… believe me, every girl there drooled for him except for me and Tomoyo… but he's already married to Shinoa," she paused for a second, and read Li like an open book, she knew what'll be his second question, "About Yukito, he's also a professor in the university, though he came off later than Touya did, again, girls drooled over her, and only Tomoyo wasn't…" Li blushed again after hearing Yukito's name, he didn't had a crush on him, but Yukito was way too nice for Li to handle, that made Li uncomfortably shy when he was always around… "He's married to Mika Kayami by the way,"
Li leaned back his chair, everyone in the group seemed successful, and he took another fry and sipped again his cola. 'I'm getting jealous…'
Sakura sighed and watched the sad man eat his dinner, "What really made you commit suicide?" It was her turn again to ask him questions; Li again shook his head, not attempting to face her as she asked that, he was sometimes angry when he's being asked questions with that type…
"You know I did the right choice not to allow you to kill yourself," she said motherly like
"So what? My life's been unfortunate anyways, looking at your lives, I'm just a speck of dust… waiting for my sorry death" he said again, he was returning to his upset figure, and Sakura again sighed, so much has changed.
"But Li—"
"Sakura, You're not my mother," Li always said that when someone's giving him very big advise… Yelan was the only woman who could persuade him without being stubborn or hardheaded, he was truly close to his mother…
"But I am in fact you're former lover…" it was a battle of cutting off each's phrase or sentence… "…I'm just concerned Li Syaoran… what's wrong with being concerned, look, I'm not going to love you again the same way in our college years, not just because you're like this now," she hissed though politely for Li to remain calm, "I'm just tired of hurting myself anymore… we all are miserable, Li, that's why we're mortal humans… not voodoo gods and goddesses…" 'Shut your mouth about voodoo blah, you're saying that since morning… arghhhhhh!'
Another silence reined their table, and only several clatter of plates filled the whole restaurant. The rest were all alone, or probably with a company of few, seating silently, eating their so-called dinner…
"Whoa!" Li cried out, and Sakura threw backed herself as Li exclaimed, other people then looked at their table, annoyed,
"What?"
Li just pointed outside the transparent glass window, and Sakura and several people followed his finger again, probably expecting another excuse for being loud. Many people also had the same gesture like of Li's as they seen it but Sakura just sighed heavily.
'Oh great,' Sakura thought apathetically.
Li pointed out to a white limo that glimmered strangely even though it was dark. A foot in a boot popped out of the front door and revealed her whole body, and stammered to the diner, several women then in black trench coats and in sunglasses followed the woman with their also black umbrellas, Sakura thought if the umbrellas were even made of leather, that woman loved leather after all. The feature wasn't clear because of her hat, and it was after all dark. At last she was inside, and her hat flew off, because she ran recklessly though somewhat elegantly towards Sakura. Sakura knew it…
"Saku-chan! Why aren't you at home! Kero said you even didn't call him that you're coming late!" the lady said, her long pit black hair revealed as the stupid hat was away with her hair. She already set her hair down freely, unlike her office look, which she always made an immaculate promise to always make her hair v-shaped braided when she did work, "You know, I was worried with you, I had to set a search party" Sakura sighed at Tomoyo…
'You didn't…' Sakura thought with a very overprotected expression. Li just stared at the black haired beautiful woman on Sakura's side… then it came to him again,
"Daidouji!"
Tomoyo finally looked at the unrecognizable Li, but didn't regain her recollections with her best friend's ex; instead, she said, "Why do you my name? And why are you here with Sakura?" She looked back again at Sakura suspiciously, and she made another evil stare at her best friend that Sakura certainly hated. She might look sweet, but she could also look scary if she wanted to… Sakura thought if her mother, Nadeshiko was also like that, since the two were really not apart from their looks, "Are you hiding something from me Saku-chan?" Tomoyo was almost beginning to wail, ignoring again the man opposite of Sakura.
"Tomoyo, I'm not hiding from you!" Sakura said defensively, "Study him hard," she pointed her index finger at Li, and Tomoyo did look at him again more intently than she did before… People were groaning, it was one of their noisiest late nights on that diner… on that night, Sakura just went to this little diner and BOOM! Noise!
'Brown hair, lean muscular body… orange eyes?'
Li sweat dropped as Tomoyo looked at him that way, and Sakura found it funny…
"Li?" Tomoyo finally figured it out, slamming her fist on her left palm lightly, a gesture of solution… Sakura nodded, and Li just looked at her boringly
"Syaoran!" Tomoyo exclaimed and both of them nodded, Tomoyo smiled but the two weren't even minding the flash of Tomoyo's face,
"What happened, it's been long years," Tomoyo said, as she thickly asked a stranger,
"Hey, mister would you kindly let me borrow this chair for a while?"
"Erm… yeah?" 'Why is the president of Cloe talking to me?'
Tomoyo dragged the seat and made annoying noise but Tomoyo didn't care. She put it then beside Sakura and sat in it.
"Well?" Tomoyo was hoping for an answer, but Li just timidly looked down and Sakura blocked and excused Li for doing so,
"Tomoyo, he's really not in the mood to talk," Sakura said, and Tomoyo stared at her with her trademark Why-is-it-like-that look.
"Long story," Sakura just said, Li then slumped to the table, and finally stood up again, "What is it now, Li?" Sakura asked the man again,
"Bye ladies," he just said and planned to go out if the diner, but Sakura held his arm,
"O'cmon, don't be such a party shitter, would you care if I just walk with you to your place?" Sakura said and Tomoyo nodded, Li groaned annoyed, Sakura just wanted to make sure Li wouldn't be tempted again to suicide…
"Okaay, okaaaaay, just let go of me," he hissed, and Sakura blew her hale She knew it, he was scheming again. Sakura just knew him too well… What do you expect from an ex with a long-time, absorbed relationship
'Hmm…' Tomoyo thought mischievously
"Tomoyo, you wouldn't mind do you if I just walk—" Sakura was cut off by Tomoyo's voice,
"No more walking tonight Saku-chan, I'm tired of worrying, I'm the vice-president, it's my job to keep you safe you know, if you wish to keep an eye of him, I'll be the one to drive" she signaled the women in black outside who bowed as a sign of understanding, and then face them again, "and no buts!" she said, as she saw Sakura open her mouth again. Li just chuckled silently…
After a few moments, the group finally dispersed away from the anonymous 24-hour diner, and the people here were grateful to God as they left. The place again was silent, several men looking at the nothingness, staring into space, and some just drinking their already cold milk tea…
-----------------
"Holy Cammoly" Sakura said as the people were in the car, the three thought it was funny, but the other people who were inside, didn't look amused, but nobody did mind… since they were gazing at Li's house. Well, if it did count as a house…
Lightning…
"Oh… my… god…" Tomoyo said, as she gazed at the structure, and back to Li, who was again sighing… "Is this it?"
"Well, that's why I wouldn't want you to fetch me," Li stated, sighing again,
'Now I think he really is unfortunate,' Sakura thought, now more concerned about Li's life than before.
They were gazing at a ransacked house, with obvious broken windows, and their garden totally destroyed by some car track, and flowers burned to ash. One of its roofs was also holed and was replaced by a huge plastic thingy to cover the gap. It was really badly made, and aside from the already bad house, the bad weather made the scene an eye sore and worse.
"You know what? I think I'll just bring you to my house" Sakura suggested, her left hand on her head
"NO!" Li yelled his obvious negation. He isn't going to a house from an old flame. No, no and never…
Sakura pouted and hmphed like she would normally when she got upset with anyone, but most probably often times when Touya would tease her, "Well, that's the only idea I could think of to make sure you're not going to kill yourself other than make you sleep here with Mirror card guarding you!" she yelled, they were again fighting, as always especially in their university years after they broke up.
"NO!" Li stubbornly said still, not minding how Sakura was concerned about him. Her expression was so obvious, and Li still didn't take a nudge about it…
"Li! That's it! I'm done with you and your nas—"
"Sakura! Nobody wanted your stupid help!"
"WOULD YOU TWO JUST FUCK UP FOR A LITTLE BIT? YOU TWO ARE ACTING HORRENDOUSLY TO EACH OTHER!" Tomoyo interrupted them; she knew it was going to be worse if she didn't stop their fumed argument, intentionally ignoring the open wide eyes looking at her. Even her bodyguards were looking at her… Tomoyo rarely get mad, or even curse someone with 'fuck' or whatever, but if she does, it really 'does' and stress it, she was really like her mother Sonomi, only thing she was a lot more conservative on her temper… Tomoyo coughed 'Finally all ears are for me… wooooh! That was fun!'
"Now!" she said in a more decent tone, but Sakura and Li knew they had to listen or Tomoyo probably would blow up the whole world… "What if Li would just go to a hotel, Sakura, you know Loyola Heights right? It wouldn't hurt if you ask them to have a favor to them," she said, and Sakura quietly nodded, "Okay then! It's settled," she turned to face Li, "Li, you'll stay there, and I'll pay the payment, since Sakura will surely decline the finance needs," Tomoyo winked at Sakura but she grumpily groaned, "Start punching those numbers Sakura!" Tomoyo commanded and Sakura obeyed, picking out her cell from her shoulder bag and called someone…
------------------
The white limo parked on the hotel car area, and Li and Sakura were still avoiding each other, even though the whole time they were in the car, they were scolded calmly by Tomoyo… it was still raining, and now, Sakura for once in that night, she got annoyed by the falling droplets of water…
"Wait, Li!" Sakura said as she again made her pendant into a rod and called up mirror card and said to copy one of the bodyguards of Tomoyo, they were smart enough that if ever Li and the likes of Tomoyo or Sakura with him, people may frame the two… Li again got mad but at least didn't got overboard because Tomoyo again gave her 'the stare'
"Li, this is Joey," Tomoyo informed him, and he nodded, the cloned man's name is Joey.
Li finally got out and Tomoyo followed him "Sakura, I'll just escort him, I'm the one who pays after all, you did ask Mister Le Broise to have a favor?" Sakura nodded stiffly "Good," she replied to Sakura's nod, and winked at her.
"C'mon! Li, wait for me will you? She ran, and all of her bodyguards followed her except for the one who was the clone for the mirror card to use… She didn't mind being followed, since she always had so many bodyguards even at the age of 10, and she was way too used to the feeling on being watched over. Sakura always found it dumbfounding her best friend could stand the pressure of such scary things. Sakura hated scary things… She watched the many people going up the porch of the hotel as they all got inside… she was all alone now with the male bodyguard…
----------------
They were already inside the hotel, and Li looked at the huge and unique lobby. In China, the hotels were luxuriant, but were not that unique, but in that hotel, the lobby painted cerulean blue and was filled with fountains, and an impossible aquarium ceiling. Benches were strategically scattered by the huge room, and the receptionists or check people were gathered on the center table… by that time of rainy night, only a few people remained awake and sat stationary on the lounge doing nothing. They didn't mind the so many people who came inside except the receptionists. They thought they were planning a hold-up.
"Excuse me miss," Tomoyo greeted the lady happily, she wondered how the woman kept herself energetic at that kind of lazy night.
"How may I help you,"
"Oh," Tomoyo presented a Cloe corp. I.D. of herself and the lady quickly understand, "I think Miss Sakura Kinomoto called Mister Le Broise to see his attention for these two people"
"All of these people?" as she pointed out all of her bodyguards
"Oh no, of course not!" Tomoyo said, "Only these two," Tomoyo pushed gently Li and Joey forward and the receptionist smiled at them, "Well, I thought they were many… he said if there's only a few, he could give you a free night for three days I think…" she smiled and looked at the shocked expression of Tomoyo
"Mister Le Broise wanted to show his very thanks and appreciation to Miss Kinomoto Sakura, he said he was glad a very nice and sweet woman would take up Cloe. Mister Nagasa did made the right choice!" she said, she said it though bookishly, like she memorized it from her boss's words…
'Sakura? Nice and sweet? Whatever, woman," he said and snorted,
"This is your key, room 267, 5th floor please, have a good stay!" the receptonsit tried to be perky as possible, and Tomoyo appreciated her sacrifice, she knew the worker was tired, her eye bags were bulging.
"Well, have a good time," Tomoyo whispered to them and finally said goodbye to the two as they got to the elevator, "and by the way, Li, you're invited to the party tomorrow night at 'Sabrian's', you do know where it is? It's just four blocks away from the Tomoeda grade school, it's really near actually, you'll find it immediately, come! Okay?"
"Wait," Li said, but the elevator already closed, and Tomoyo grinned, she always liked setting up Li and Sakura, it became a weird hobby of Tomoyo
Tomoyo then left the hotel at peace. She thanked there hadn't got problems with Li in the hotel, well, I guess it's alright with the mirror card by his side… She got to the limo then, with her bodyguards again following her like robots on her command.
"Saku-chan, you're heading home," she said strictly, "Oh wait, I'm going to show you something…" she said mysteriously, Sakura knew she was planning something,
"What, I hope it's not crazy Tomo-chan," Sakura sighed
"Well, come here," she offered a seat at the middle bunch of seats, she pat it, and Sakura jumped, she was at the utmost back, Tomoyo sealed the middle division, so it isolated the middle part, and only Sakura and Tomoyo was in the mini-room,
She pressed a hidden button on the seat she was seating on, and a small screen erupted from nowhere on the wall that isolated the front part of the car,
"Wow, does my limo already have one too?" Sakura asked excitedly
"You mean you didn't even asked someone to drive you car?" Tomoyo asked her, and Sakura nodded, she never liked acting like a princess like Tomoyo likes to do…
"It's in the manual silly, yours even have a wardrobe, a radio and a hidden compartment" Tomoyo said while laughing and had another dive on her seat, she reached for a flashy C.D. and it said L.S.S. Sakura wondered what does those three letters mean… Tomoyo pressed another button and a slot appeared under, and she put it… and pressed the play button…
Black, that's the only thing Sakura was seeing, then a flash, seemed like someone turned on the light and they heard someone walking inside, singing horribly, they saw it was a man removing his t-shirt, but the head wasn't shown, then the camera moved upward, he was looking at the mirror, and Sakura gasped, almost smashing the stop button. Tomoyo guffawed terribly. The man was 18 year-old Syaoran on the bathroom.
"How dare you tape that video without his knowledge!" Sakura accused her friend, who laughed more loudly,
"Well, that was actually a birthday gift for you in the past, but I didn't give it to you, I felt guilty as I knew you were really not lusting only on Li, but you already loved him, by that time…" Tomoyo whispered evilly, "I was supposed to break it, but I didn't, it was too important for you, who knows?" she joked,
"Bitch," Sakura sighed and joined in the laughter, for once in her adulthood, she didn't look at her past negatively…
'I know she still loves him… what really did happen hours ago at the diner? Something's really fishy…' Tomoyo thought, she really couldn't get her mouth shut,
"What really did happen before you got inside the diner," Tomoyo eventually asked her.
Li was no longer there, so it's safe, Sakura decided, Tomoyo and she were bestest friends, she knew she could trust her… "It's really sad, his family was killed, I mean his entire and whole family, everyone, from his mother Yelan, to his most annoying cousin Meiling… even Wei was killed, that was why Li's house was destroyed I think," Sakura whispered, and Tomoyo predictably gasped. Li gets annoyed often at Meiling, but deep inside, he loved her like a sister… "I met him at Penguin Park almost near suicide with the Li honor sword, I stopped him by Shield card, though he wounded me at the waist" Tomoyo gasped again and peeked at her waist, feeling her skin, "Don't worry, I'm a carcaptor, I used erase card to literally erase the wound," Tomoyo sighed, she may be rich but Sakura was a powerful woman, she had powers to control several things.
Silence…
"Well, I feel sympathy to Li, you know how he is with his family, right?" Tomoyo asked and Sakura nodded, Li was obvious as a family man, though Li didn't show it often… it was one of the most peculiar attitudes Li has hidden with himself… Take Sakura and Li's break-up for example… Only because of Yelan's decision… touching…
Knock…
Tomoyo unsealed both walls, and saw the driver's head,
"Miss Tomoyo, we're already at Miss Kinomoto's house," a woman said from in front,
"Well, bye Tomo-chan!" she gave a friendly peck at Tomoyo's cheek, and she smiled though Tomoyo knew she was tired…
"Bye, oh yeah, see you at work tomorrow!" she finally waved her last words, and she closed the window,
The limousine boomed again… and Sakura was unlocking the gates of her house. She was just alone there, companied only with her phone, Kero, and her stuff toys…
-----------------
"Sakura! Where have you been!" a puny voice filled the front door, as it opened, it was Kero in his stuff-toy form… "How could you do this to me?" he said, "your punishing me aren't you!" he continued, pointing his hand (since he doesn't even have a single finger) to Sakura,
"Kero, you're already have enough energy," she looked at him with a pout. Kero couldn't understand the fact she just met someone in her painful past and he was still only caring about food, "Look, I just met Li again,"
Kero didn't seem too surprised, but just smirked, "You mean that brat?" he said, but Sakura gave him a frown,
"You know you shouldn't talk to him like that now, he's poor at this point Kero!" she retorted,
"Hey, I was just joking!"
'Joking? You've called him that since he was 10-years old…'
"Anyways, why?" Kero replaced his excuse, Sakura knew it, he was just lying about the brat thingy about it as a joke,
"Long story, could we just talk tomorrow?" and Kero nodded. Sakura put out her deck again and mumbled, "Sweet card, I command you to give Kero his food," she whispered, as a very chubby fairy popped out of the card, jumping round and round, then whirling some kind of yellow pudding in between her circles,
"Yummy! Thanks Sakura!" Kero said as he gobbled the pudding
"Whatever, I'll go sleep now, 'night" Sakura said to him apathetically 'Oh my god, I sounded just like Touya,' Kero however ignored her remark,
Just after a few minutes, Sakura was on her bed, and Kero safeguarded the house for her… she was in her dark room, hugging her favorite stuff-toy, Mr. Crocodile…it was cool, and the rain finally weakened… It was nice when the rain was mediate, not strong, Sakura thought it was relaxing, the sound of weak droplets smashing from the roofs and the ground…
'What is Li doing now,' she thought then she blushed, 'Arghhh… Sakura, would you stop thinking about him…' but she still can't, she faced her pillow, and sighed terribly… She knew she was going to have another dream telling about her future, and she was again was afraid to sleep, but Sakura got too tired and finally slept… Sleep after all is powerful.
Rain quietly making their melody unrushed by the motor… Oh I love Mother Nature cries…

A/N : Well, did that explain something… I can tell you the next chapter would again be a lot of explaining to do, but you bet the fifth would be a lot more exciting, anyways, I too hope you like the next chappie… AHOY citizens of the earth!
