I couldn't believe I was staring at that bastard. Ken Li, when did he get back in town? I thought he left for good, but now I'm seeing that he's back? Can my life get any better?
"Syaoron?" Sakura asked out of the darkness softly and with a hint of tiredness.
"Huh?" I set the magazine aside and neared my face to hers.
"When did you get here?" Sakura asked sitting up. I helped her sit up.
"I just got here. How are you feeling?"
"Good. You?"
"Not so good."
"Are you talking about the talk you had with Meilin and Yuki?"
"Yeah." I lied. It wasn't only about them that bothered me. It was knowing that Ken was back in town that bothered me the most.
"So, what happened?" Sakura asked.
"Nothing much. It's really over between us." I made is simple and short.
"Really? So are you going to stay the night?"
"I've been doing that every since the first day."
Sakura gave a small smile in the dark. I was beginning to not see her face anymore but only the outline of her face.
"Well, I'll go to sleep again. Good night."
"Good night." I replied as I watched Sakura lay back down on the bed.
I lean back on the chair and let out a deep breath. Ken Li, he was really back and I did not like one bit of it at all.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Here are your clothing Sakura." I handed Sakura her clothing as we were getting ready to leave the hospital. Sakura seemed excited. I was excited also for her not having to stay in the hospital anymore. I was starting to get real bored of the place and home was too emptied without her too.
"Are you guys ready?" Tomoyo was here also. "Let's go and check out." Tomoyo spoke and went over to pick up Sakura's bag of old clothing.
"I'm so happy I won't have to sit in that wheel chair anymore." Sakura pointed to the wheel chair that was in one corner. "I can walk now!" Sakura's face was healing good and teh sitches above her left eye was going to be cut out pretty soon. The bruises on her face were nearly gone. Even though she was wearing a short sleeves shirt, it was clear her bruises there were almost gone.
I'll go and check out. You guys go and wait in the car for me." I told them before we parted. I went to the front desk and checked out.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"IT'S SO NICE TO BE BACK HOME!" Sakura yelled as soon as I opened the door to our home.
"Great, now I won't be getting any peace and quiet." I lied and chuckled at the face that she made to supposely piss me off.
Sakura took off her shoes and went directly into the living room.
"Sakura, I'll be going now okay? I have work!" Tomoyo yelled from the door while I was taking my shoes off.
I heard Sakura foot steps running to the front door.
"So you're not going to stay?" Sakura asked in a some what sad face.
"Sorry. Work."
"All right, I'll see you later then. Bye." Sakura waved and Tomoyo did the same thing back.
"Bye."
I closed the door after Tomoyo had turned her back and left. After that I went into the living and Sakura following behind.
I threw my keys on the table next to the phone and we both sat down on the sofa. Each having our own side of the sofa. It was quiet. Nothing to talk about and nothing to say.
"Hey guess what?" Sakura interrupted the silence first.
"What?"
"There's this guy that looks just like you."
"Whom?"
"I forgot his name. I think it started with a J? P? K? Yeah...it was Ken I think. He had the same last name as you too."
So Sakura was reading the section on Ken? Ken, at the thought of him again I just wanted to beat the crap out of him.
Before I could come up with something to talk about the phone started ringing.
"I'll get it." I got up from the sofa and made my way to the phone.
"Hello?"
"Syaoron. Come to the office right now. It's urgent." It was my father. What did he want?
"Yeah. I'll be there." I hung up the phone and turned towards Sakura.
"I have to go. I'll see you later?"
"Sure. Have fun!"
"Yeah, sure." I grabbed the keys I've just set down for less than a minute and headed for my shoes. As soon as my shoes were on I headed out the door and towards my car. What did my dad want?

Sakura's Pov
It was really great to be back home. I didn't have to sit in my wheel chair or have anymore testing to do. As soon as Syaoron left I stood up and made my way to my room. It feels like forever since I've been in it. Who knew going camping can cause such trouble?
As soon as I opened the door to my room the first thing that strucked me was the portrait of my family and I. I walked slowly to the picture. I traced my fingers slowly around each of my parents' face. We all looked so happy. I felt the rush of emotions making its way through my whole body. If I looked at them any longer then I was pretty sure I was going to have a break down again. I didn't want that so I turned around and walked towards my drawer seeking for something.
At the sight of the glass Cherry Blossom my heart lifted. It was my first gift from Syaoron. I slowly opened it the way Syaoron had said in the paper last time and as soon as I opened it fully, the pink angel was still there staring back at me. I took the necklace into my hands and looked at it endlessly. It was beautiful and meant so much to me. Funny how something Syaoron gave to me was so important. It was a good thing I didn't wear it when we went camping or else for sure I would of have lost it. After that great fall if I wasn't lucky, who knew what else I might end up losing.
I slipped the necklace on and put back the Cherry Blossom into its storage place.

Syaoron's POV
I made my way into my office and as soon as I opened the door my dad was already in there waiting for me.
"Good thing you made it." Even though my dad didn't smile something that excited him was going to be known pretty soon.
"What is it?"
"You'll see. Just wait for a minute."
What was I going to see?
After a second or two, the door to my office slowly opened.
I watched as the person pushed opened the door and stepped inside. The person I saw didn't bring much surprise. I was expecting to see him sooner or later, but this soon never came into thought.
I watched as Ken made his way to my dad and me.
"Good Morning Uncle. How are you doing?" Ken gave a tilt of his head.
I kept my gaze on him. Ken turned towards me and extended out his hand.
I continued to stare at him but didn't shake his hand. Slowly my hands were turned it into tight fists.
"Syaoron, don't be rude." My dad.
"This ain't business. I don't have to shake anyone's hands." I answered without taking my eyes off of Ken. He was my height, my size and I have to agree with Sakura, we did look alike, but we were far from alike. People could of have misinterrupted us as twins. That bastard, why did he have to look like me? He having to be related to me is bad enough already. I didn't want him to be any part of my family. I hated him and no matter what, I would never change that.
"It's okay." Ken pulled back his hand and it landed on his side.
"Where's your father?" My dad asked. Ken's father was my dad's younger brother. They both had their own company but were partners in the same industry.
"He'll be here soon. He asked me to come here first since it's been at least five years that I've been back in Tokyo."
"I heard your lastest album's been very popular."
"I wouldn't say it's popular. It depends on who likes my music and who doesn't."
That bastard. How can he talk as if everything was fine. He made me sick to my stomach.
"HEY! I see you have been introduce to Ken before I made it." My uncle came in and spoke loudly making me lose my train of thoughts.
"Let's go out for some lunch." My dad offered. Not lunch. I couldn't stand being here with Ken and now going to eat lunch with him?
"I have to go." I spoke.
"Oh...Syaoron, I didn't know you were there. How have you been?" I held in my anger and spoke lowly.
"Fine." I walked towards the door of my office while my dad yelled after me.
"Syaoron Li, come back here this very instinct!" I ignored my dad and just like yesterday I walked out of my office.
