Chapter 6

I Awaken to Find you Gone

Syaoran raced in the track, memorizing the feel, the smell, and the sight of riding. He raced for four hours, thinking only of Sakura.

I can't hurt her, if she finds out, she'll never forgive herself.

Syaoran stopped, and got off the bike. He took a deep breathe, and looked at the track for one last time. He smiled, so many memories here, now going to end. The memories will fade, and he will slowly forget the sight of the race track. When he turned around to walk, Haru stood there, once again, crying.

"Haru? What are you doing here?" Syaoran asked, as Haru cried even more. They looked at each other for awhile, and Haru finally ran up to him and embraced him.

"Please Syaoran, don't do this! I don't want you to forget me, and I don't want you to forget how I look like." Haru said, as she held him tightly and cried. Syaoran was getting a bit tired of it, he didn't want her to cry. He held her shoulders, and placed her about 2 feet away, and he studied her.

"There, I memorized what you look like. Now I won't forget." Syaoran said, and Haru cried more. He walked up to her, and kissed her forehead.

"Be good, okay?" Syaoran said, like a father saying goodbye to his daughter before getting onto the plain. But instead of that little girl nodding, she started hitting him, begging him not to do it.

"Syaoran, you're such an idiot! Why are you doing this?" Haru yelled, and her hits got slower and weaker, and she finally stopped.

"Because I love her, I would give her anything she asked for, if it were my heart, my throat, or my soul, I would do anything for her." He said, and he walked past her, into his car, and drove away. Haru still stood there, in shock, and she put her hands over her mouth, so no one would here her cry, that was all she wanted to do now.

---Sensitive Eyes---

Today was the day, a week after the operation, Sakura would be getting her patch off. When the nurse took it off, she opened her eyes; it was blurry at first, seeing blobs of color. But her sight came back, and all her friends were smiling, holding a cake that said, "We Missed You!"

"Wow, what is this? Sakura asked happily, as she took a dab of frosting and savored it in her mouth.

"It's a "You can see again" cake." Meiling said, as Tomoyo shoved her, telling her to be more sensitive.

"Nurse, didn't you say I was blind?" Sakura asked, none of them new who donated there eyes.

"Well, it was a man that donated them, but he said he wants to be remained hidden." The nurse said, and they all gasped.

"What? But why would they do that? I would love to say thank you." Sakura said with a smile, but the nurse wouldn't spill the truth, and she frowned.

"Well anyways, why don't you eat your cake?" Takihaka said, and Sakura gasped. She hadn't noticed Takihaka there, and was surprised that he forgave her.

"But don't you hate me?" Sakura asked, and Takihaka smiled, reassuring her.

"No, but I will get your heart back, I will not be defeated by Syaoran." Takihaka said, a determined sparkle in his eye twinkled, and they all laughed.

"Speaking of Syaoran, where has he been?" Tomoyo asked. Sakura was confused, she hadn't heard from him as well.

"He went back to China." Yujiro said, as he came in the room, they all turned around, and gasped. Sakura covered her mouth in shock.

"What?" Sakura yelled, "But- But why?" Sakura asked, as her eyes welled up, and a tear fell down her cheek.

"He- He didn't tell me why." Yujiro looked guilty, and looked down.

---Flashback---

"Yujiro, I beg you, don't tell Sakura about this. I don't want her getting hurt again."

---End Flashback---

"Why? Why would he just- Why would he just run off like that?" Sakura asked, as she started to cry. They all felt bad for her, Sakura sat on the bed, thinking.

A few hours later, Eroil & Tomoyo went back to the house to tidy it up. Meiling and Takihaka helped Sakura back to the car, her balance wasn't to great.

When they got back to the house, Takura was wagging her tale, and Sakura smiled.

"Hi you, did you miss me?" Sakura asked as she picked her up and carried her to Sakura's room, holding onto the wall trying not to fall.

When she sat down, she let Takura go, and Sakura watched her smell the bed, and she laughed. She looked at her room, remembering the way it looked. She looked into the mirror, and noticed something very different.

"My eyes! They're not green anymore, there gold. Wow, it looks beautiful." She was amazed at her eyes, like it was getting a new diamond ring, and being astounded at how glamorous it made you look.

"Just like Syaoran's…" Sakura muttered to herself, she tied her hair back, and looked at her counter, there sat Xiao Kura; she smiled at it, remembering the day Syaoran gave it to her.

"That's all in the past now…" Sakura said to herself, Takihaka came into the room, and startled Sakura.

"Aaah! Oh god, Takihaka you scared me." Sakura said as she took a deep breathe. Takihaka laughed and came inside.

"I just wanted to say bye, I need to go to work now." Takihaka said as he petted Takura. "She got bigger, didn't she?" Sakura smiled as Takihaka looked at his watch.

"Oh no! I'm late again! Mr. Kamio is going to kill me." Takihaka quickly got up, kissed Sakura on the cheek, and ran off.

Takihaka quickly said goodbye to the two girls and Eroil, and ran out. When he was about to turn the corner, he crashed into someone, and she fell over.

"Oh, are you okay? I'm so sorry." Takihaka said, as she helped her up, and she brushed him away like a fly.

"Are you blind or something?" She yelled, and Takihaka's eyes widened. He pointed at her face, like a child would.

"You're that girl who was with Syaoran, the model." It was Haru, who had cute her hair to shoulder length and got long bangs.

"So what, aren't you going to your job or something?" Haru spat at him, Takihaka stepped back a little, frightened by such a skinny girl with a fat attitude.

"Geez, sorry queenie," Takihaka joked, as he ran off.

"Hey, what did you say you little punk!" Haru yelled, trying to chase him, but she stopped.

"No, stop it Haru. You are not going to start chasing another boy." Haru ordered herself, and she turned around and started walking again.

Days became weeks, weeks became months, and still, Sakura waited for him to return. Sakura had gone back to work and Miss Yoko only treated her nicely the first day she came back, but after that, it was back to the annoying and nagging Miss Yoko. After closing, Sakura had to stay back for clean up.

"Another day and Tokyo…" Sakura groaned as she wiped the mirrors. When she looked in it, she saw Syaoran's reflection come into the room. Sakura quickly turned around, but it was just Yujiro smiling.

"Oh, hi Yujiro, what's up?" Sakura greeted as he held something behind his back.

"I got a surprise." Yujiro said, and he revealed it, it was a large envelope, about the size of printing paper. When he took out the item inside, it was Sakura on the cover of Cosmopolitan!

"Oh my gosh! It's China Cosmo!" Sakura yelled as she snatched it from him and jumped up and down in excitement.

"It's from Syaoran." Yujiro said, expecting her to be even happier. Sakura stopped jumping, and frowned a bit, Yujiro frowned after as well.

"Well, we should go celebrate!" Yujiro suggested, and Sakura agreed with a smile. They went back to the house and Tomoyo, Meiling, and Eroil came along. They went to their favorite pub and had drinks and food.

"Sakura, did you notice this was last month's issue?" Meiling said, reading the magazine, since she is Chinese. Then, two girls came up to them, probably tourists, with the same copies of the magazine with Sakura on it.

"Um, hi, sorry to bother you, but- um, can you give us your autograph?" One of the girls said shyly, the other one didn't even look at her, she was probably nervous.

"Oh, sure!" Sakura said happily, and the little girls' faces lit up with a smile, and Meiling giggled a bit, and Tomoyo slapped her arm. She signed it putting her full name and a heart.

"Here you go." Sakura said giving there copies back, the two girls smiled again and bowed and ran off to there moms.

"Wow, I guess you're a celebrity now, eh?" Eroil said, and they all laughed. After dinner they all went back to the house. Sakura thanked Yujiro, "If you see him or get a chance to get a hold of him, tell him I love him." Sakura said with tears, Yujiro nodded and left.

Suddenly, right when Sakura was going to go to his room, the doorbell rang.

"Hold on!" Sakura called as she ran to the door and opened it. It was Haru, she was crying. Sakura gave a confused look.

"Haru, what are you doing here?" Sakura asked, as she hugged her all of a sudden.

"He's back Sakura, I saw Syaoran."
