ON WITH THE STTTTOOOOORRRIIIEEESakura opened her eyes to find herself in her bedroom, still in her dress from last night. She smelt awful.
Touya came in suddenly.
"Finally awake?" he said.
"Yeah," Sakura said getting up. "How did I get home? I don't remember a thing."
"Syaoran Li carried you home with a big mess on his shirt."
Sakura eyes widened and she was in total shock.
"He did WHAT?" she said.
"You heard me," says Touya shrugging and went out of the room.

Sakura took a long shower and changed into something more comfortable. Jeans and sleeveless t shirt was her choice. She sat down at the kitchen table and grabbed a sandwich made by Touya who was reading the newspaper.
"Sakura, isn't this the woman that invited you to her party yesterday?" said Touya suddenly.
"Nani?" says Sakura and grabbed the newspaper off him.
She saw the big heading. "Sharina Whitley makes a cutting announcement"
It had a picture of her cutting her hair.
"Mmmm………" says Sakura.
"What?" says Touya.
I wonder how Shingo's doing….if he's alright….Thought Sakura.
She bolted up.
"I'm going out for awhile. I'll be back really soon," she said and rushed to the door with Touya looking at her rather suspiciously.
She slipped on her joggers and opened the door. She rushed to Tokyo University.
She remembers the place where Shingo and Sharina were when they saw each other at the time she came back. It was a place with a lot of steps and a glass windowed building at the back. It had a bridge pathway next to it. It was all part of the school.
Sakura rushed to the place on her bike. She parked her bike and ran to the steps. Just as she thought, Shingo was there. He was sitting on the top step head down, thinking.
She walked to him. She felt so sorry for him. She sat down next to him on the step and kept on looking at him not knowing if she should talk or not. He turned his head to face her.
"Nani? Is there something wrong with my face?" he said, forcing a smile..
Sakura looked at him startled.
"iie….. Are you alright?" she said softly.
"Why shouldn't I be alright?"
"Are you sure? About Sharina and everything? The news was shocking."
"It's her decision."
"You can still see her Shingo!"
"I'm not going to stop her or do anything. From since small, Sharina always wanted freedom. She was always strong, always wanted to be herself. So when she's got her chance, no matter what people say to her or who she won't change her mind………" Shingo bowed his head sadly.
"How could you do this? So your just letting her go?"
Shingo looks up at her but down again.
All the spark and life in Shingo is Sharina. If Sharina goes he'll be dull and lifeless. He needs her. She's the only thing keeping him warm and not cold. Without her there is no Shingo, thought Sakura. Without Sharina, then me and Shingo………WHAT? Why am I being so selfish! I can't think that!
Sakura jumped up and ran. She wasn't going to make things better. She ran down the steps and turned. She stopped when she ran a bit more. She panted and looked up. She saw a beautiful woman with short hair. She gave a sudden gasp.
"Miss Sharina!" she shouted.
The woman turned and smiled at her.
"Sakura! Thank you so much for coming to my party," Sharina said going up to her.
Sakura took a deep breath. It wasn't exactly a good thing to do, but she had to do it for Shingo's sake.
"Miss Sharina. I know it sounds really stupid. But please don't go to France!" she said nearly crying. "Shingo is so sad in losing you. He needs you! For his sake please don't go! With all the time I've spent with him, meeting on the school balcony and talking. I've enjoyed it so much. I don't want anything to go but, his happiness is in you Miss Sharina. He has no happiness if you go! PLEASE!"
Sharina looked at Sakura surprised.
"I'm sorry Sakura. But that's impossible," she said.
"I know you would say that," sobbed Sakura. "But please!"
She went on her knees, but still up right.
Shingo just at the moment took the turn and halted at the sight. Stunned.
"Please don't go to France! Your breaking Shingo's heart!"
Shingo was horrified at the sight and what he was hearing. He looked at Sakura with his expressionless look.
Sharina bend down a bit to Sakura, her shocked face morphing into a comfort smile.
"Sakura, my decision is final. It's like buying things. If you see something you want in France but you had to go on a plane and come back to Tokyo before you get it, you feel empty. I don't like this feeling. This trip is really important to me. It's like my dream."
Sakura looked at Sharina, thinking about the words, how they were firm and meaningful. She nodded, confidently, knowing she had to control herself.
"I understand. I'm sorry. I'm overreacting I guess," said Sakura wiping her tears.
"That's alright," said Sharina still with her comfort face.
Sharina helped Sakura up.
"You're a really good friend Sakura. I'll always remember you."
Sharina hugged Sakura and realised Shingo looking. She didn't make any motion that she noticed. She released Sakura, looking at her kindly.
"I'll see you at the airport? You are going to see me off ain't you?" said Sharina smiling.
Sakura nodded.
"OK then. Ja," said Sharina, turned and walked down the path.
Sakura smiled. She felt a bit better though she didn't accomplish much. She guessed it was like Sharina knew how to perform magic, making everybody feel better just with her presence. Behind her, Shingo walked towards her. She turned around and her eyes widened to see him there.
"What did you say to her! I said not to stop her! I don't even know what you want Sakura!" he shouts.
He had heard everything and knew the answers to his questions, but he had to do it.
"Shingo, I……….Your face it was…..so, painful………I."
" It's none of your business! Go, go away!" he says loudly word by word.
Sakura ran, crying her eyes out not knowing what she has done wrong. Shingo stood there, a trickle of tear down his face. He raced off to the park across the road and went to the playground. He found the monkey bars and hung upside down on them. He remembers the 13 year old Sharina telling him, 9 year old Shingo something.
"When you're upside down Shingo. The tears won't be able to fall out! Remember that!"

"C'mon. Pick up the phone Shingo," said Eriol who has been ringing for Shingo for more then half an hour.
"Still doesn't pick up?" asks Hiro.
Eriol shook his head and hung up. Syaoran was leaning on a pillar wrapping a small present. It looked really nice and friendly but inside it wasn't. Richie came over to him, bored and looked at the present.
"What's that for?" Richie asked Syaoran.
"For Sharina of course stupid," says Syaoran.
He then had an idea. A sly idea.
"Wanna open it and have a look at what it is?" Syaoran asked Richie.
Richie nodded. Syaoran unwrapped the ribbon and handed it to him, a too broad grin over his face which only a jackass wouldn't notice. Richie gently opened the wrapper and took out the silver box. He then slowly eased it opened………..POP
A few sponge balls came bouncing into his face. He was so startled. Syaoran was rolling up with laughter.
"Your so immature Li!" said Richie.
Syaoran just shook his head and grabbed the present back and wrapped it again.
"Passengers of Flight CX0S10 please start entering…………"
Everybody turns to look at Sharina. She picked up her luggage and gave a smile. She walked to them still keeping the smile.
"Well, sorry Sharina. Can't find him," said Hiro looking down at his phone and up again.
"It doesn't matter. I'll hope to see him again some day," she said still smiling.
"Sharina, this is for you," said Syaoran handing her the present.
Sharina took it not knowing a thing.
"Arigato," she said.
"Miss Sharina! It's- mmm,…n.n.n.nm.m.m," aid Richie but his mouth was covered by Syaoran.
Sharina laughed.
"No matter what the present is, I'll treasure it. It's been great here. Seeing you guys and meeting new people. I'll always remember you guys," Sharina said.
He turned to Sakura and smiled at her gently.
"Sakura, you're always a good friend. Remember that."
Sakura nodded. Sharina once again picked up her bags and walked through the doors. They all stared after her.
"Guys, let's go," said Hiro and turned.
His eyes widened.
"Shingo!" Hiro yelled and ran to him.
They all turned.
"What is wrong with you! She's gone already!" said Eriol.
"How long have you been here?" said Hiro who was beside Shingo now.
"One Hour," said Shingo.
"One hour!" exclaimed Eriol.
"Did you see her? Where have you been then!" said Hiro.
"Behind the pillar," said Shingo.
Sakura could sense something has changed about him. She could feel that he wasn't sulking as much. She felt so hopeless though. She should have convinced him to see her.
"Haven't you ever cared about her Shingo? Have you ever thought of how she feels! If you like her, you should at least go after her! If Miss Sharina has the strength and courage to choose her own path and have her freedom, then why can't you! That's what wrong with the four of you! You just let people set your future!" she exclaimed.
Shingo looked down. He slowly put his hand into his pants pocket. He fished out a plane ticket and his passport, grinning at Sakura as he held them, showing it to her.
"I'm taking the next plane to Paris," he said smiling.
Sakura didn't know what to feel. Happy or sad. She began smiling and crying at once.
"Yes! Go and get her!" said Hiro punching him in the shoulder.
Shingo walked to Sakura. A gentle smile on his face. He faced her, looking into her eyes.
"Sakura, everything's changed since you came. You've ruined me yet you've also taught me so many things. You taught me that you can't just wait for things you have to find them and achieve them. You told me to be strong and I thank you. Arigato Sakura," he said. He reached out a hand to push her head forward and kissed her on the forehead lightly.
Sakura couldn't stop crying. Shingo turned to his 3 friends.
"Gonna miss you tough guy," said Eriol and gave Shingo a five.
Shingo turned to Hiro and they did the same and hugged roughly. Then he turned to Syaoran, gave him a hug and punched him the shoulder. Syaoran returned it. He then walked towards the doors. Before he entered them he turned back and gave Sakura a wave. The still crying Sakura smiled at him broadly and he walked through the doors.
Syaoran suddenly turns to Sakura and walks up to her making Sakura look at him surprised.
"Go out with me this weekend Saturday at 2," he said and went back to his friends.
Hey! Was that a command! Thought Sakura.
Bye bye Shingo! That's it for him. His gone after Sharina! Can you believe it! hehehehe…..It's over for him!OR IS IT?……….please REVIEW! alert ALERT!
