BACK! LOLS FINALLY!
FFFFFLLLLLAAASSSHHHHHBACCCCKKKKK
HEADQUARTERS...
"Well? Still waiting here you know..."
"Umm... see, Sakura-chan, we have a guest with us today."
"Oh? Tell me more Moyo."
"Well... you see, the owner of this big business is, well, that owner is considering joining businesses with us. Well, its kinda more of a benefit for us then it is for them so well... I didn't tell you since I know you wanted it to be only me,you & Eriol. But Sakura-chan, I really want this to work."
'Oh, Tomoyo, please, not the puppy dog eyes.' dreaded Sakura. Oh, how fate can be cruel.
"Common Sakura! Look at me! I'm begging you! Please, don't make THIS business owner go crazy like the other one."
'Heheh, that other one, didn't know what hit him. I kinda feel sorry I did that to him. Heck, I would have gone crazy myself. I mean, I guess him pissing in front of the whole room was really embarassing, but hey, that was his fault! Gosh! People and bladder these days!'
"Hmmm, I supose, as long as he's not a di-
"SAKURA! IHIHIHIH! Thanks, I knew I would brake that hard boiled egg shell of yours."
"Yeah Tomoyo, whatever."
"Let's go, Eriol's probably thinking we bailed on him."
'Yeah Tomoyo, then why do I feel that I'm going to regret it.'
ERIOL...
"...Syaoran, hello." Eriol greeted him with such a cold voice that one couldn't help but shudder.
Sensing the tension Syaoran decided to clear things up.
"Listen, he said in an equally cold voice, I don't want to be here anymore then you do, but I am, so let's just get through this dinner."
"Yes, why don't we also tell evryone else here to listen to your orders."
"No, it wasn't suposed to come out that way."
"Oh, then what way was it suposed to come out as? Same way as how you let 'everything' out to Sakura then left her for dead?"
With every word he spoke Eriol's voice got higher and angrier.
In a low voice, Syaoran took up his part of the conversation.
"Eriol, you and I both know I didn't have the right to tell her. Even if I did have the right, it wasn't in my place. It was in his place."
"Yeah, didn't stop you getting laid and leaving her for dead though did it? She's not my sister, but she heck as well may be!"
"YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT HIRAGIZAWA!"
"REALLY? THEN ENLIGHTEN ME! WASN'T IT ALL YOUR DOING? IT'S YOUR FAULT SHE'S ON MEDICATION, NOT HIS, HE DIDN'T KNOW EITHER AND IT'S NOT LIKE HE WANTED TO EITHER. OR IS MY MIND JUST MAKING UP HALLUCINATIONS EH LI?"
As the heated conversation's volume got louder and louder, the girls's steps became rushed and quick. Usually, glancing at your best friend made you forget your worries, but in these circumstances, the glances for both Sakura and Tomoyo only brought anxiousness.
"DAMN RIGHT YOUR MIND'S CORRUPT! YOU THINK I WANTED THAT EH? YOU THINK I'M ALL TO BLAME? I'M NOT THE ONE WHO ARRANGED IT, OR DO YOU THINK I PLANNED IT. YEAH, THAT'S WHAT YOU THINK, 'HE PLANNED TO MAKE HER MISERABLE', WHY WOULD I? YOU DON'T KNOW SHIT ABOUT HOW I FELT FOR HER, SO MIND YOUR OWN GODDAMN BUSINESS."
Arriving there, the girls were surpirised by what they saw. There stood a Syaoran looking just about ready to punch Eriol and Eriol looking ready for the fight as well. The couple at the other end of the room quickly rushed down the stairs not wanting to be involved in anything. All that could be heard was silence, if you could even hear such a thing.
"Sy-Syaoran, a small, broken and fargile voice asked, soft as a whisper."
As the man turned, her worst fears came true. Her mind stopped, her heart was beating faster and faster, her breath was getting hitched in her throat and her knees were just about ready to buckle.
Without turning her eyes away from his she spoke to Tomoyo.
"You- you... you told me- I-I, I've got to go."
Before anyone even had time to respond, she was running down the stairs.
"SAKURA!" Syaoran screamed but she was already out the main door.
Realising he was about to lose her again he chased after her. 'No, not this time, I won't lose you, not again.'
END FLASHBACKKKKK...
It was late at night and it was pourring as if there was no tomorow. A young girl was sitting alone on a park bench. That park was particular, it was the first place she ever saw Syaoran and it was filled with cherry blossoms. Yes, the park was dangerous at night but she couldn't care less. The young woman just wanted to feel numb.
' Why now? Why? Why couldn't you just leave me be, it would have been so easier, for both of us.'
"Since, since when did things become so complicated?" she asked to no one in particular and it was barely above a whisper.
She had nothing to cover herself with but that measily silk dress. Not that she cared wether she catched pneumonia or not. All she wanted was to not feel a thing. She, she almost wanted to die.
"I don't know Saku, but no one ever said life was easy."
Little did she know he heard every word she said, including the phone call to Xiao Hu, as well as insulting him. She didn't even notice till that point that the cold water had stopped assaulting her skin.
She didn't even need to look up to know who it was. All she could do was cry harder, her tears mixing with water left on her face.
A small, barely audible 'go away' was all she could muster.
"No, Saku, not like this, this isn't how it's meant to be."
It wasn't before he finished his phrase that he realised everything was quiet, no comeback, no cries and... no steady breathing.
'Shit!'
He quickly felt her wrist for a steady pulse and... it was there.
'For a moment there, I- I thought I was about to lose her again. She probably only fainted from the stress. And from me.'
Little did he know how wrong he was.
