Disclaimer: I do not own Card Captor Sakura

"A vacation? Already Ms. Kinomoto?" Dr. Akamatsu asked. Sakura nodded with a smile plastered on her face.

"To Hong Kong." Sakura replied.

"Not even in Japan but over seas."

"So, am I allowed to go? I already did promise her that I would be there." Sakura responded realizing now that she should've checked with her doctor first. But then, if she told Meiling that, then Meiling would be worried.

"You shouldn't have promised her, Sakura-san." He replied.

"I know I shouldn't have. But my friend is getting married and asked me to be one of the bridesmaids and I really didn't have the heart to say no." Sakura responded. Dr. Akamatsu sighed.

"How much does this mean to you?"

"A lot!" Sakura replied.

"Then ……… go." He spoke making Sakura smile. "But only if you go to this doctor here. I don't know what section of Hong Kong you're going to be in, but here's a doctor you can go to for the time you're staying there." He spoke as he handed her a card.

"His name is Hiromi Hoshizawa." He remarked. Sakura remembered hearing that name before ……… but where?

"Arigatou gozaimasu (Thank you very much)!" Sakura replied as she looked down at her watch.

"HOE!!!!!!! I'm late for my afternoon classes!!!!!! Ja ne!" Sakura shouted as she ran out the door. The doctor chuckled watching the scene.

"Finally! Christmas break!" Sakura shouted as she stretched her arms over her head. Her friends around her laughed.

"What?" Sakura asked, pursing her lips together.

"You just come back from the hospital and already you leave for Christmas break!" Naoko replied causing them to laugh again. Sakura pouted.

"Because I was sick!" Sakura retorted.

"Yea, but still………" Rika spoke.

"Mou (Geez)! You're all so mean!" Sakura replied pretending to cry. Chiharu laughed as she placed her arm around Sakura.

"We're just kidding." Chiharu spoke up. Sakura sighed and smiled.

"I know. But why are you picking on me!?!?" Sakura whined.

"Because you're fun to pick on." A voice behind her spoke covering her eyes. Sakura immediately recognized the voice and smiled.

"I can't see anything, Li-kun." Sakura spoke. Behind her she could hear his laughter.

"What do you think was my intention when placed my hands in front of your eyes?" Syaoran asked.

"That you wanted me to guess who you were?" Sakura replied causing Syaoran to laugh again.

"I had two intentions then." Syaoran concluded causing Sakura to giggle. Sakura tried to move forward but Syaoran's hands were immobilizing her. Sakura then ducked down out of Syaoran's grip and faced Syaoran. She simply grinned and said,

"I can see and move again!" Sakura laughed as she said it. Chiharu, Naoko, and Rika all laughed.

"Yes, now let's move towards your dorm and say bye to your friends." Syaoran spoke as he grabbed her by the waist. Sakura leaned her head back to see Syaoran's face and then stuck her tongue out at him. He smiled and lifted her up and walked over to her friends.

"Now Sakura, say bye." Syaoran instructed.

"Bye! See you after the break!" Sakura shouted as Syaoran lifted her up into his arms and started to walk towards her home.

After a few minutes of silence, Sakura opened her mouth.

"I can walk you know."

"I know."

"Am I heavy?"

"Yes." Syaoran lied just to tease her. Sakura pouted.

"Then why aren't you letting me walk?"

"This is going to be my last time with you until your school starts again and I lied. You aren't heavy at all." Syaoran whispered. Sakura smiled and then looked confused. She didn't tell him that she was going to Hong Kong so………… he was going somewhere.

"Where are you going?" Sakura asked.

"Hong Kong." Syaoran replied not looking at her.

"Really?"

"Yup." Syaoran spoke. "So, will you miss me?" Syaoran asked after the brief pause.

"No." Sakura responded. Syaoran frowned. Sakura noticed this and jumped out of Syaoran's arms and landed right next to him. She moved closer to him and snuggled against him. Syaoran blushed and looked confused. Didn't she say she wouldn't miss him?

"I'll also be in Hong Kong! So we can see each other there sometime!" Sakura spoke smiling. Syaoran stood in shock for a second and then pretended to glare at Sakura. Sakura tilted her head to one side as she looked at him. He seemed……… angry?

"Hoe? Li-kun? Are you mad?" Sakura asked saddening. She truly believed that he was mad at her for not telling. "I was just kidding when I said I wouldn't miss you. If I weren't also going, I would definitely miss you! Please don't be mad at me." Sakura pleaded. Syaoran felt guilt pour into him. He placed her hand in his and looked down at her and lifted her chin up so she could see him. He smiled at her.

"I couldn't be mad at you if I wanted to." Syaoran spoke as Sakura sighed and then embraced Syaoran. Syaoran slowly wrapped his arms around her body. Sakura felt content in his arms………

"We should probably get to your dorm now." Syaoran spoke as Sakura nodded but stood still. Syaoran, who had already walked ahead turned around and looked at Sakura.

"What's wrong?" Syaoran asked.

"I was getting used to you holding me." Sakura replied. Truthfully, she felt tired and really didn't want to trouble Syaoran but she felt like she was going to collapse at any moment. Syaoran sighed but gave Sakura a smile. He walked back to her and lifted her into his arms.

"How did you live before I came here?" Syaoran teased.

"I was in the hospital that time, remember?" Sakura spoke, sticking out her tongue. Syaoran simply laughed in reply and kept on walking towards her dorm.

Syaoran had a dilemma. Here he was, in front of Sakura and Tomoyo's dorm door, and he couldn't open it. Why? Sakura was sleeping peacefully in his arms and he couldn't move her. Syaoran sighed. What was he to do? Syaoran tried to kick the door softly so Sakura wouldn't wake but loud enough to be heard from the inside. That wasn't working either. Syaoran took in a quick breath, and slowly exhaled.

"Sakura……… wake up! I need the key to your dorm! Where is it?" Syaoran whispered. Sakura just fidgeted in his arms making it harder to hold her. Syaoran sighed. He really didn't want to wake her up. She seemed so tired and he couldn't interrupt her sleep. He groaned. What was he going to do now?

Tomoyo hummed a little tune that she had recently heard and couldn't get out of her head while stirring the soup. She walked from the kitchen and started to set up the dinner table.

After all, it wasn't going to be a normal dinner. Sakura's brother, Touya, his friend, Yukito, and Sakura's nurse, Nakuru were coming to eat over to see them before they left for Hong Kong. Eriol was also coming just to keep her company.

Tomoyo looked at the clock. It was later than Sakura was supposed to come……… but then again, this was Sakura Kinomoto. Slightly agitated by her best friend's late actions, Tomoyo walked over to the main door and opened it. There she found Syaoran sitting on the ground with Sakura cuddled up into his chest with his arms wrapped around her.

"KAWAII!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Tomoyo squealed at the top of her lungs. Syaoran quickly looked up to see Tomoyo's starry-eyed face. Syaoran quickly brought one hand to his face and indicating through his hand gesture that Tomoyo should not make any noise or else Sakura would wake. Tomoyo started to giggle.

"Trust me, that girl can sleep through ANYTHING." Tomoyo spoke still giggling. "Come in." Tomoyo spoke as Syaoran lifted Sakura into his arms again and walked inside.

The warmth of the dorm enveloped Sakura and Syaoran. It had been a little chilly outside but it was definitely bearable. Syaoran sighed in a content way and headed towards Sakura's bed. He carefully laid her down on the bed and pulled the covers over her shoulders to provide warmth for her.

"Oyasumi (good night). See you in Hong Kong." Syaoran whispered as smiled at her sleeping figure and headed towards the door. Syaoran lifted his hand to turn the knob when a hand touched his and pulled it away.

"Please, stay for dinner!" Tomoyo asked in a commanding sort of way. Syaoran smiled.

"I wouldn't want to intrude on your dinner plans." Syaoran answered. Tomoyo shook her head.

"It's fine! It's only Sakura's brother and his friend. Eriol is coming too so please, just stay." Tomoyo persuaded. Syaoran sighed. She seemed too determined.

"Okay. I'll stay as long as I get to help you make or do something for the dinner tonight." Syaoran insisted. Tomoyo smiled.

"Deal."

"Why is the world would the kaijuu (monster) want to go to Hong Kong for break? I mean……… she just got out of the hospital! I bet it's not even that great over there!" Touya protested. Yukito just smiled.

"She has her reasons."

"How can you be so satisfied with reasoning like that! Wouldn't you worry about a kaijuu like her?" Touya retorted. Yukito wanted so much to laugh at that moment.

"You really have a sister complex. Just leave her be. She's 23 years old. She's perfectly capable of doing things on her own." Yukito replied calmly.

"I can't believe she's going to go to Hong Kong after a month after surgery. Freaking SURGERY!" Touya spoke angrily pumping his fist into the air. Yukito grinned.

"Touya, you're walking too far. The door is right here." Yukito spoke pointing to the door. Touya immediately turned from his position and faced the door and knocked.

"Konbanwa (good evening)." An unfamiliar voice greeted them. Touya glared at the male at the door. He looked familiar, as if he had seen him before. Then it hit him.

"You! YOU WERE THAT GAKI IN THE HOSPITAL!" Touya yelled. Syaoran had a puzzled expression on his face. Then he remembered that little glare fight he had at the hospital a while ago……… that was Sakura's brother he was glaring at ……… shit………

"Kinomoto-san! I suggest you stay quiet! Sakura-chan is sleeping right now!" Tomoyo spoke in a whisper. Touya kept his anger harbored but kept glaring at Syaoran. Syaoran ignored Touya's glares and spoke,

"I'm going to go and wake up Sakura now." Syaoran started to walk forward when Touya grabbed the back of his shirt.

"I'll go and wake up my sister." Touya spoke still glaring at Syaoran. Tomoyo shook her head.

"Kinomoto-san. You go and sit at the dinner table with Yukito-san. Li-kun can go and get Sakura-chan. And no buts!" Tomoyo spoke sternly and Touya mumbled protests but unwilling walked into the dining room. Yukito smiled and followed his friend. Tomoyo and Syaoran were left standing there.

"So, are you going to get Sakura or what?" Tomoyo asked as Syaoran nodded and walked towards Sakura's bed. Tomoyo walked off into the kitchen preparing food for tonight.

Syaoran looked at her face. Sakura lay peacefully on the bed, her breathing steady and her body worn out and tired. Syaoran shook Sakura's body lightly. Sakura slightly stirred but still slept. Syaoran sighed. He had the mind to just scream into her ear but he knew he wouldn't dare to.

"Wake up Sakura." Syaoran whispered into her ear. Sakura just turned over on the other side of the bed. Syaoran groaned. He placed his hands on her sides and pulled her up. Sakura's body was limping in his arms. Sakura's face looked so angelic when she was sleeping.

"Up now Sakura!" Syaoran spoke. Sakura didn't stir. Syaoran sighed and lay her back down on the bed. It was hopeless. Syaoran stood up and started to walk towards the doorway when a familiar stationary caught his eye. Syaoran picked it up in his hands. He perused the letter and his eyes widened in astonishment. This was the same wedding invitation he got from his cousin. How did Meiling know Sakura and Tomoyo? Or is it Hiromi that knew Sakura and Tomoyo?

Syaoran's thoughts were interrupted when he felt someone tapping on his shoulder. He spun around to see a yawning Sakura.

"Finally up?" Syaoran teased.

"Shut up." Sakura replied. Sakura eyed at the paper in Syaoran's hands.

"Hey, what are you doing with my invitation?" Sakura asked.

"I just picked it up. So, who are you being invited by?" Syaoran responded. Sakura saw no harm in telling Syaoran; after all, what was he going to do? Tell her she couldn't go or something?

"My friend, Meiling Li. She's getting married so she's having an engagement party." Sakura spoke grinning. It had truly been too long since she had last seen her friend.

"So you don't know anything else about this Hiromi Hoshizawa?" Syaoran asked. Hearing his name Sakura's eyes widened as she quickly shoved her hand into her jacket pocket, rummaging through the numerous wrappers and pulled out the card. In the middle of the card, it was clearly printed Hiromi Hoshizawa. Syaoran looked at Sakura strangely as Sakura couldn't believe what she was seeing. Her doctor was going to be one of her best friend's fiancée. What would she do if he told her best friend about her heart? He couldn't, right? Of course he couldn't, there was doctor-patient confidentiality. But what if………

Syaoran waved his hands in front of Sakura. He didn't know what got her acting so strangely. Maybe it was the guy? Did she know him and not remember him till now? What was going on?

"Hey Sakura. You there?" Syaoran asked. Sakura shook her head.

"I'm fine." She replied, sticking the card back into her pocket. Syaoran knew that she wasn't telling the truth but brushed it aside. He then placed a hand on her shoulder.

"Well then. Now that your up, let's go to dinner!" Syaoran said as he lightly pushed her out the doorway. Sakura slowly walked into the dining room to see her brother mumbling something and his friend sitting patiently. Tomoyo was in and out of the dining room, entering the kitchen and returning.

"Konbanwa (good evening)!" Sakura exclaimed, a smile plastered on her face. She took the seat across from her brother.

"Konbanwa, Sakura-san." Yukito spoke.

"Konbanwa kaijuu." Touya replied. Sakura glared at her brother.

"SAKURA IS NOT A KAIJUU!" Sakura shouted as she stomped on her brother's foot underneath the table. Touya winced in more pain then usual because it had been about six months and 5 days since his last 'treatment'.

"You're finally up Sakura-san! Arigatou (thank you) Li-kun!" Tomoyo spoke as she hurried back into the kitchen. Syaoran smiled as a response. Sakura pushed her chair back and headed towards the kitchen.

"Tomoyo-chan! Let me help!" Sakura spoke as she disappeared into the kitchen leaving Syaoran alone with Yukito and ……… Touya.

Just then the doorbell rang. Slightly intimidated, Syaoran stood up and headed towards the door. Syaoran turned the knob to be face to face with his cousin.

"What are you doing here Syaoran? Making yourself at home?" Eriol asked with his eyebrows raised. Syaoran ignored Eriol's comment.

"You want to come in or not?" He asked as Eriol allowed himself in. The smell of the food being cooked wafted into Eriol's nose.

"Ah, it seems my dear Tomoyo is cooking today." Eriol spoke with a grin as he headed towards the kitchen. Syaoran rolled his eyes and closed the door behind him. Then the doorbell was heard again. Wondering who it could be, Syaoran turned around and opened the door. The woman at the door seemed confused to see someone she didn't know open the door. She had long brunette hair and seemed to be somewhere around the age of thirty.

"This is Sakura-san's home, is it not?" She asked. Syaoran nodded.

"It is." Syaoran spoke as he opened the door for her and she entered. Light footstep noises were heard as Sakura burst to the front door.

"Nakuru-san!" Sakura shouted. Nakuru's face brightened.

"Sakura-san!" Nakuru responded as she embraced Sakura. Sakura smiled blissfully. When they parted, Sakura introduced Syaoran.

"Nakuru-san, this is Li-kun. Li-kun, Nakuru-san." Sakura spoke as Syaoran politely put his hand in front of him and shook Nakuru's outstretched hand.

"DINNER!" Eriol's voice sounded throughout the dorm. Feeling hungry, the three headed towards the dinner table.

The table had a lacy cloth over it and on the cloth were huge amounts of food. Fried shrimp, bowls of rice, sushi, sashimi, and miso soup were only some of the foods noticeable.

"Wow! This looks great!" Nakuru squealed as she took a seat next to Touya and glared at him.

"You better not be causing your sister any more heart problems, you hear me!" Nakuru stated as Touya seemed to just ignore her. Syaoran wondered what Nakuru meant by 'heart problems' but stayed quiet. Sakura breathed a sigh of relief when it looked like Syaoran didn't know what was going on.

"Let's eat." Touya spoke. Yukito nodded in agreement and they all started to eat.

By the time everyone had about a bowl, Yukito was already on his fifth. It wasn't surprising at all to Sakura, Touya and Tomoyo, but the others found it fascinating.

"No wonder I've never seen you at the hospital! You eat healthy!" Nakuru spoke. Sakura held her breath as she glanced over to Syaoran. It almost seemed that he didn't hear her. Sakura then started to ask herself. Why was she so secretive about her heart problems?

Sakura automatically knew the answer to that. She didn't want people to feel sorry for her, treat her differently because she used to be sick. Especially have her friends treat her more delicately. She was fine. That was it. Sakura nodded to herself, satisfied with her answer, earning herself a weird look from Syaoran's face. She giggled as Syaoran just blinked, not knowing what Sakura was thinking about.

Syaoran Li was not an idiot. He saw all the information to come up with a logical conclusion. Sakura had been in the hospital……… because of heart problems for four months. Four months is a fairly long time to stay in a hospital assuming that it had a severity. And Nakuru was Sakura's nurse. It all fit. But why was Sakura hiding it? And exactly what happened to Sakura's heart? He didn't know why, but he needed to know.

"So……… about you and Tomoyo going to going to Hong Kong………" Touya started in between bites. Eriol's face expressed shock that then turned into a smirk.

"How long were you going to keep this from me?" Eriol asked turning to Tomoyo. Tomoyo grinned.

"As long as I could, which was hopefully when I bumped into on the streets of Hong Kong." Tomoyo replied teasing Eriol. Eriol glared at Tomoyo and then smiled.

"We'll definitely be seeing each other very soon." Eriol stated. Syaoran breathed a sigh of relief when Eriol didn't mention anything about Syaoran coming along. Who would know how Touya would've reacted to that………

"It's late, I should be going. I can't miss my shift tomorrow morning!" Nakuru spoke with a smile. Sakura giggled.

"You wouldn't miss your shift even if you had the choice to." She replied.

"So?" Nakuru retorted. The two girls laughed as they headed towards the front door. Yukito and Touya had left earlier because they had to get to work but Touya was very unwilling in leaving Sakura alone in a house with the gaki, not matter how many other people were there.

"I'll see you as soon as you get back, so call me then!" Nakuru spoke while quickly giving Sakura and Tomoyo a hug each and then bolted out the door to her car. Sakura smiled as she shut the door and turned around to be face to face with Syaoran.

"Exactly when are you planning on leaving?" Sakura asked suspiciously. Syaoran chuckled.

"Honestly, I don't know. I think Eriol's planning on begging your roommate to let us stay for the night or something, even though we're leaving for Hong Kong tomorrow." Syaoran replied.

"That won't be happening……… wait, you're leaving tomorrow? What time? What airline?" Sakura asked.

"Yes, 9:00 AM, and Japan Air, why?" Syaoran asked. Sakura's face lit up.

"I'll be seeing you on the plane tomorrow!" Sakura replied as she hugged Syaoran.

"I'll be seeing you and Daidouji-san tomorrow then." Syaoran spoke as he returned the hug.

"ERIOL! GET YOUR ASS OVER HERE! WE HAVE TO LEAVE, NOW!" Syaoran shouted as Sakura covered her ears. In a moment, Eriol walked up to Syaoran, ready to leave. Tomoyo ran over to Eriol quickly and gave him a kiss before he left. Syaoran and Eriol left and the dorm was silent.

"When will I see him again?" Tomoyo sighed, asking herself dramatically. Sakura giggled knowing that they would see each other tomorrow.

"Hey Sakura-chan, did you know that Meiling sent us first class tickets?" Tomoyo asked. There were faint noises of planes in the background and Sakura and Tomoyo were sitting on the seats inside the airport waiting for boarding. Sakura looked down at the tickets closely to see first class clearly written in.

"I'm still paying her back." Sakura spoke causing Tomoyo to giggle.

"We'll have it straightened out by today." Tomoyo spoke as they waited. The lady started to call all the first class rows so Tomoyo stood up and grabbed Sakura's arms and tugged, forcing Sakura to get up and move.

Finally, they got on the plane and found their seats. Sakura sat next to the aisle and Tomoyo had the window.

Tomoyo had that nagging feeling in her brain that she forgot something……… but what? While Tomoyo was thinking, Sakura was getting comfortable in their seats when someone tapped Sakura's shoulder.

"May I switch seats with you?" The stranger asked. Sakura looked up to see Eriol's smiling face.

"Where's the seat that I'm going to sit in?" Sakura asked. Eriol pointed to the seat behind her next to Syaoran. Sakura got up and moved back allowing Eriol to slide into his new seat.

"Hey." Eriol whispered into Tomoyo's ear. Tomoyo forgot about the nagging feeling and turned around to see Eriol and embraced him tightly. When they parted, Tomoyo asked,

"Where did Sakura-chan go?" Eriol pointed to the back and Tomoyo saw Sakura and Syaoran sitting next to each other laughing. Tomoyo smiled.

"As long as she's happy as well." She spoke as her lips met with Eriol's.

"I knew I was going to see you today, but I didn't expect for you to sit right next to me." Syaoran spoke causing Sakura to laugh.

"Neither did I."

"Now, what did you do with the man that was sitting there before?" Syaoran asked. Sakura laughed.

"I did nothing to him. He's the one who proposed that we switch seats." Sakura spoke.

"So, how are you going to get to your friend's place?" Syaoran asked. Sakura opened her mouth to speak, but no words came out. She forgot to ask about that to Meiling.

"I don't know." Sakura spoke. Syaoran looked down at her.

"Do you have your friend's phone number? Maybe she's coming to pick you up?" Syaoran suggested. Sakura thought about it. The only phone number she had was ……… Hiromi's. Sakura pulled the card out of her pocket again. She stared at it for a while. Syaoran watched Sakura's expressions.

"So, you found her number yet?" Sakura slowly shook her head and unbuckled her seat belt. She stood up and walked to the seat in front of her.

"Tomoyo-chan, do you have Meiling-chan's number?" Sakura asked.

"Iie (no), doushite (why)?" Tomoyo asked.

"How are we getting to Meiling-chan's place?" Sakura asked causing Tomoyo to freeze. She remembered what that nagging feeling was telling her about. Tomoyo winced.

"I don't know Sakura-chan! What are we going to do?" Tomoyo spoke. Sakura shook her head. This day wasn't turning out so well.

"Wait, Meiling? As in Meiling Li? As in getting married to Hiromi Hoshizawa, Meiling?" Eriol questioned. Emerald and Amethyst eyes were focused on Eriol. They both nodded causing Eriol to laugh.

"Meiling is Syaoran's cousin! Why don't you just ask him for her number?" Eriol spoke. Tomoyo sighed in relief while Sakura politely thanked Eriol and returned to her seat and glared at Syaoran.

"What are you glaring at me for?" Syaoran asked.

"You know Meiling-chan?" Sakura answered Syaoran's question with a question of her own.

"How could I not? She's my cousin." Syaoran replied causing Sakura's eyes to go wide.

"Why didn't you tell me sooner! You had me panicking! You cruel person!" Sakura spoke as she started to pound on Syaoran's arm. Syaoran laughed.

"That's starting to hurt. I'll go call her, okay?" Syaoran replied as he took the phone off the airplane seat and dialed Meiling's number. The phone rang a couple times before Syaoran heard her voice.

"Hello?"

"Meiling?"

"Syaoran?"

"Yeah. It's me. I have two of your friends here on this plane that have no clue on how to get to your place." Syaoran spoke. Over the phone, he could hear banging noises.

"Meiling? Do not hit you head against your phone! You're going to ruin a perfectly good phone." Syaoran teased.

"Hoe! Meiling-chan! Don't hurt yourself!" A feminine voice spoke.

"Sakura-chan?"

"She's sitting next to me." Syaoran responded.

"But the plane tickets I bought had you and Eriol seated next to each other……… and how do you know Sakura-chan?" Meiling questioned.

"She's someone I met over in Japan because Eriol's girlfriend, Daidouji-san is Sakura-san's best friend."

"Wait, Daidouji-san as in Tomoyo Daidouji?"

"Who else would be Sakura-san's best friend?"

"Too small of a world." Meiling spoke.

"So, about this little problem?"

"Your limo's picking you and Eriol up. You do have room in your spacious limousine to allow them to go with you, right?" Meiling spoke implying her request by emphasizing the words spacious and limousine.

"It's fine by me. I was going to take them anyway if you didn't show up." Syaoran spoke.

"You enjoy watching me in pain don't you Li-kun!" Sakura said when she heard his last statement as she started to pound on Syaoran's arm again.

"Ow! Sakura-san! That hurt! Well, see you later! Bye!" The phone went dead as Meiling turned the phone off. Interesting, her cousin didn't seem to be as depressed as she had thought he would've been ……… and that might be all because of Sakura. A smile made its way to Meiling's lips. This would be very interesting.

"I surrender! What do I have to do to make it up to you!" Syaoran pleaded. Sakura laughed and stopped.

"Just hearing the words, 'I surrender' from you is good enough." Sakura replied. Syaoran chuckled.

"Well, I have to warn you though, you might end up on television on the way to the car." Syaoran spoke. Sakura looked at him curiously but Syaoran didn't continue on.

"We have arrived in Hong Kong, China. The time is now 8:30 AM. Please stay seated until the seat belt sign has been turned off. Thank you for riding on Japan Air." The stewardess spoke through the loudspeaker.

Syaoran yawned as he looked out the window. It was still the same as when he left it, when Aya died. Syaoran cringed at the thought and shook his head. Then he realized that something warm was leaning against him and that something was Sakura. Syaoran quickly shook Sakura.

"We're in Hong Kong! Get up!" Syaoran spoke. Luckily, Sakura wasn't in her normal deep sleep state so she immediately got up.

"What? Where?" Sakura asked in her dazed state. Syaoran chuckled.

"We're here." Syaoran spoke as Sakura smiled. She leaned over Syaoran and looked out the window. The sight was beautiful.

"Kirei (pretty)." Sakura whispered. Syaoran watched Sakura's facial expression. She looked so kawaii (cute) ………

After finding their baggage on the carousel, they left the carousel area and entered the main lobby of the airport. Blinding flashes and shouting was all Sakura could see and hear.

"MR. LI! HOW ARE YOU COPING WITH YOUR FIANCEE'S RECENT DEATH?"

"HOW COME YOU LEFT HONG KONG AND PASSED ON YOUR DUTIES TO YOUR SISTER?"

"WHERE DID YOU LEAVE TO?"

"WHO IS THAT GIRL YOU'RE WITH? IS SHE YOUR NEW GIRLFRIEND?"

"HOW LONG HAVE YOU KNOWN HER?"

"WERE YOU CHEATING ON YOUR FIANCEE WITH THAT GIRL?"

Syaoran gritted his teeth and expressed a face full of anger. Sakura couldn't see anything and Syaoran quickly guided her out. Eriol held onto Tomoyo and did the same. At the end of the path, Syaoran saw a familiar face.

"Wei." Syaoran spoke without breath.

"Syaoran-sama. We must leave now." He spoke as he led them to the car. The press was persistent and kept on following them. Syaoran quickly opened the door to the limousine and motioned Sakura to get in. He waited for Tomoyo and Eriol to go in and then slid in himself and shut the door tightly. Sakura started to shiver as Syaoran moved right next to her and held onto her tightly.

"W-who are they?"

"Assholes who have no life." Syaoran responded. Sakura was shocked by the use of Syaoran's language but didn't say anything more.

"How could they say such a thing?" Sakura spoke softly as she began to cry in Syaoran's chest. Syaoran's anger disappeared for a second and listened.

"How could they think that you forgot about Aya?" Sakura spoke as she collapsed. Her fatigued body was still held tightly in his arms. Syaoran's eyes widened. How did she know about Aya? Syaoran instinctively looked over to his cousin. Eriol's eyes shifted to different parts of the limo.

"Did you tell her?" Syaoran asked.

"Well, the thing is………"

"Yes or no question. Did you tell her?" Syaoran repeated himself.

"It's not really a yes and no answer because………" Eriol began.

"Why not?"

"Can I just finish my sentence?" Eriol asked. The situation was starting to aggravate him.

"Fine."

"You were moaning her name when you were sick and she asked us who she was so we just told her."

"We? You told someone else?"

"I'm sitting in this limo too for all of you who don't know." Tomoyo spoke making her presence known.

"YOU TOLD HER?" Syaoran roared.

"Get over it! The whole world knows already!" Eriol retorted. It was true. Being the heir to the Li Clan, Syaoran's personal problems would always end up on the first page of the newspaper and one of the top headlines on the news. His life was never private.

"SHUT UP!" Syaoran shouted. Eriol was right. Syaoran's always hated publicity. He hated all those who made his life as a bunch of assumptions and lies. He hated when they announced his father's death and spoke nothing except for that for at least a week when he was only 5. And maybe……… just maybe, if they weren't there, Aya might still be alive. But if Aya were alive ……… would he have ever met Sakura when he did?

He looked down at Sakura who was still lying on his lap. He moved a stray strand of hair covering her face. Exactly how important is she to him? How much did he care for her? Of course he cared for her a lot and she's extremely important to him ……… But is she as important as Aya?

Crappy ending I know ……… well……… sry for the hehehe… wait? ……… come on……… 2 months isn't that bad……… is it? Syaoran's thinking that is possible for her to be as important as his recently deceased fiancée……… meaning something ……… HINT HINT
