Chapter Two

"Meant To Be? Not"

"Sakura? Are you awake?" came a female voice.

Sakura stirred in her bed and slowly attempted her eyes to open. Her vision was all a blur so she blinked a couple of times until everything became clear. She looked around her and noticed that she was in her room, on her bed with Tomoyo sitting on a chair beside her looking worriedly at her.

"Are you alright?" she asked.

"Hai…thanks Tomoyo. What time is it?" she asked.

She suddenly stopped from doing anything else other than breathing as she recollected all that had happened before everything went black.

'Syaoran' she thought.

"It's already 4:47" Tomoyo said as she looked up from her watch.

"Okay, Syaoran's flight is still 5:30 this afternoon right?" she asked as she yawned.

"Sakura, this is the afternoon" Tomoyo clarified.

"What!" Sakura shouted as she sat up from her bed.

"Eriol is with Syaoran at the airport right now"

"B-But! Didn't they stop by here?"

"They did, I bid him farewell for the both of us since you were still sleeping and he didn't want me to wake you. He just told me to tell you that he loves you and you two will meet again soon"

"Tomoyo! We have to get to that airport right now" Sakura said, now panicking as she went over to her closet to get a change of clothes and a small package.

"Why?"

"Don't ask, just get the car ready. I'll meet you downstairs"

"If you say so" Tomoyo said as she ran down the stairs and towards the garage.

"Oh please still be there" Sakura repeated in a whisper over and over again until she jumped into the car.

"I'm sorry you couldn't talk to Sakura, Syaoran" Eriol said as he gave Syaoran a manly hug were in the grab each others hands and pat each others back.

"Don't worry, we got to talk to each other yesterday anyways" Syaoran said but still disappointed that he didn't get to know what Sakura's reply was to his statement. He was sure Sakura wouldn't mind the title but he was still curious as to her reaction.

Plus, he didn't get to kiss her good bye. The thought made him gloomy.

"Go faster Tomoyo" Sakura said to her friend.

"I don't wanna go over the speed limit here. If we get caught, we'll be even later in arriving"

A bell rang through the waiting area they were staying in, and a woman's voice echoed after it.

"Passengers for Flight 213 for Hong Kong China please start boarding the plane. Departure will take place in exactly 20 minutes"

"That's me" Syaoran said.

"I still don't get why you didn't want to ride your private family jet going there"

"There's no way I wanna go through the entire flight with my parent's lecturing me through the speakers in that plane"

Eriol smiled and shook his head.

"For a prince of China, you sure don't act like one"

Syaoran smirked at his remark.

"How many minutes do we have left until we get there?"

"15 minutes and we'll be there but Syaoran's flight is in 10 minutes" Tomoyo said.

"Damn it" Sakura said worriedly.

Eriol looked at the glass window as a plane started to run at a slow pace but then started to move on faster down the strip until it finally took flight into the sky.

He abruptly turned around as someone grabbed onto his arm.

"S-Sakura?" Eriol asked seeing her best friend gasp for air. "Tomoyo?" he asked again, seeing the other girl walk up to them. "What are you two doing here?"

"Where's Syaoran?" she asked trying to regain normal breathing.

"He left for his plane minutes ago, why?"

After hearing this, Sakura looked downcast and allowed herself to fall on one of the chairs.

"Passengers on board, sorry for the inconvenience but the control room is having a lock down at the moment. Please sit tight for the next half hour and we'll be then departing" a lady's voice said through the plane. "Please enjoy the additional food, compliments of the airlines. Thank You"

Syaoran sighed at this announcement and called out to one of the stewardesses.

"Excuse me"

"Yes, master Li?"

"You know me?" he asked the lady.

"Of course sir, we were given direct orders to give you our personal and top services through out the flight" she explained with a smile.

"Well, thank you I guess…but would it be okay if I step out of the plane? I can't stand sitting her for 30 minutes doing nothing other than sitting" he said bluntly.

"O-Of course sir" she said rather unsurely. "We'll be paging you within the airport when it will be time for the departure"

"Thank you" said Syaoran as he unbuckled his seat belt and left to one of the exits and back into the airport for some real air.

"I-I'm going for a walk…and a bite to eat" Sakura added as her stomach gave off a grumbling sound. She stood up and walked off away from the couple.

"What's happening?" Eriol asked Tomoyo unsurely.

"I dunno…when she woke up she just told me to drive fast coming here coz she wanted to see Syaoran before he left"

"Who wanted to see me before I left?" asked a voice from behind them.

"S-Syaoran!" both asked together.

"Hello to you too"

"I thought you left minutes ago!" Eriol said.

"I was, but the control room was having a lock down and I have to wait 20 minutes until my flight takes off. I can't stay there doing nothing within all that time" he explained then looked at Tomoyo as if he only noticed she was there. "Tomoyo? What are you doing here?"

"Well gee, thanks for noticing" she said sarcastically. "Anyways, I came with Sakura since she told me to bring her here but we thought we were too late. She's gone off sulking somewhere because she thought she'd never get to talk to you"

"Where is she?"

"Probably in some of the food stands here…she said she was gonna eat"

"Thanks" he replied as he took off to the same direction Sakura went.

"Thank you" Sakura told the guys as she got her order. "Sakura took off to an empty table near the Pizza Hut stand and started eating one of her two pepperoni pizzas while sipping on her can of Pepsi.

She sighed to herself thinking about what could have happened if Syaoran hadn't left yet.

"Oh damn" she muttered as her purse fell off the table when she accidentally kicked the stand.

She bent down to get it.

Syaoran looked through the line on the food stands and saw a Pizza Hut stand, he went over to that stand and looked over at the people who were on line but didn't see her. He craned his neck to see the people who were sitting down on the tables but didn't see her either.

He sighed and walked off to another stand.

Sakura sat back up and dusted her purse and resumed eating and drinking just in time to see the back of a guy walk away.

'That guy looks like Syaoran from the back' she thought sadly. 'I can't believe I wasn't able to say good bye to him. I really miss him!' she screamed to herself. She must've since she constantly saw him in everything she was looking at.

She looked around and saw a McDonalds stand and she suddenly was in the mood for some ice cream. She stood up and walked over to the stand.

Syaoran walked over to another stand and found himself in front of McDonalds.

He looked around again and saw someone whose back was identical to Sakura's.

"Sakura!" he shouted over the people who were talking and from the crowd in front of him.

"One McFlurry ice cream please" she told the lady as she rang up her order on the register. "Here" she said as she handed the money to the lady.

She stopped and turned, causing the money to fall on the ground. She swore she heard someone shout out her name, and it sounded like Syaoran's voice. She looked around and saw nobody that looked like him. Only a bunch of tourists walking past the stand.

"Excuse me, miss?" the lady asked from behind her.

Sakura turned around and looked at her. "Oh, I'm sorry…hold on" she said as she bent down to pick up the money that fell.

"Excuse me, move it"

Even though Syaoran used a polite word in his sentence, it still came out harshly as the tourists looked at him. He glared at them making them walk away faster. He looked back to see where the girl that looked like Sakura was but saw her already gone from the spot she was in.

"Damn the tourist and their bad timing" he muttered as he walked away to find the girl he thought was Sakura.

"Here" Sakura said as she stood up and handed the lady the money and taking her ice cream. "Thank you"

'I swear I heard Syaoran call out my name' she thought to herself as she went to walk away from the crowd. 'I must be getting delirious, he already went off to Hong Kong Sakura, he must be in the plane, comfortable on his seat' she told herself but in the back of her mind she still wasn't convinced.

"Hey guys" she said as she approached Tomoyo and Eriol. She stopped by a garbage bin and threw her empty cup and used spoon from the ice cream.

"Hey Sakura, did you meet Syaoran yet?" Eriol asked.

"What? I thought he left"

"No, his flight got delayed, he went off to look for you"

"W-What?" she asked as she ran back into the crowd.

"I guess I better go back to Eriol and Tomoyo, she's probably already there. I'll wait for her there until my flight comes up"

Syaoran pushed through the crowd towards the gate he was supposed to use to his plane. He finally got out as he straightened himself towards the duo.

"Hey" he muttered. "I couldn't find her anywhere"

"What? Syaoran!" Tomoyo started. "Sakura just went back there to look for you…didn't you guys see each other?"

"I-I didn't…there are too many people here, I'll go back"

"No wait" Eriol said, grabbing him by the wrist. "I think it's better if you stay here and wait until she gets back"

"I've got 10 more minutes 'til my flight takes off"

"Well, you better hope she gets back here by that time" he said.

Syaoran sighed at this. He thought he was the man destined for Sakura, obviously the Gods thought differently.

"Syaoran!" Sakura shouted over the noise. There was an unusually large number of people in the airport and it was really hard to actually see or hear anything. She had shouted Syaoran's name repeatedly and still didn't find him. "I-I guess I'll go back and wait for him by the gate to his flight" she thought as she ran back to where she started.

"Special call for Master Li" rang a female voice through the airport. "I repeat, special call for Master Li to Flight 213 for Hong Kong China. The plane will be leaving shortly, please board the plane in the next few minutes"

"Wow, special call huh?" grinned Eriol.

Syaoran rolled his eyes at him.

"I guess I should get going" he sighed.

"What about Sakura?" asked Tomoyo worriedly looking through the crowd.

"I can't do anything about it, she isn't here yet but I have to leave. I can't make a whole plane of people get delayed for my sake"

"Guess your right" muttered Tomoyo.

"See you guys. Tell Sakura good bye for me" he said as he turned around.

"No need" came a female voice behind them.

Syaoran turned around again and his face softened. "Sakura"
