Chapter Seven

"Back Again"


Tomoyo was feeling faint again but she willed herself not to collapse, not now.

"My son found her by the shore of a river unconscious and pretty beaten up. We own a clinic in this town so I took car of her and mended her. When she woke up weeks later, she didn't remember anything. She must have hot her head pretty hard in whatever accident took place" Airi explained softly.

The girls gasped in shock, looking at Sakura sadly. The guys, even Aki and Mika was surprised as well but showed not much of it.

"I asked her what's her name and she said to call her Cherry since she loves Cherry Blossoms…I guess she was right with her real name. Right now, she's engaged with my son Yasuki who currently isn't here yet"

"Sakura" Tomoyo said softly, walking over to her, and kneeling on front of her. "You have to go with us, we'll try to help you remember but we have to tell Syaoran you're alive"

"Syaoran?"

"Yes, your fiancé, he thought you died and he's making the biggest mistake of his life by marrying another woman in China"

"So, that explains this ring" she held up her hand to show the diamond engagement ring he gave her.

Tomoyo nodded.

"But I don't remember him at all, how can I marry someone I don't know? Besides, my fiancé now is Yasuki" Emi smiled as she said this.

Tomoyo looked down and something in her mind clicked.

"Sakura, where's your bracelet?" she asked.

"What bracelet?"

"Your charm bracelet, you never take it off, you always had it in your right wrist, where is it?"

"I-I dunno…I wasn't wearing one when I woke up"

"What?" Tomoyo said rather shocked and frustrated.

There was silence, Emi was about to say something but Tomoyo spoke again but to the group behind her.

"We have to find that bracelet"

"What's so important about a bracelet?" Emi asked.

"That bracelet could be the key to her memory"

"Why is that?"

"Those charms in her bracelet are like remembrances of her past...it's like her back-up memory"

"But she doesn't have it" Rika pointed out.

"Oh" said Sakura. "No wonder I keep glancing at my wrist…I had a bracelet! Oh, can I ask you something" she said looking at Tomoyo making her nod. "Who is this Li?"

"Li? How did know Syaoran's surname?"

"Oh, you see…the day Yasuki proposed to me, I just noticed that this necklace" she said as she held onto the heart shaped ruby necklace and turned it to let her see the engraving. "Has a 'Mr. and Mrs. Li' written at the back. Why is that?"

Tomoyo's eyes were welling up with fresh tears.

"You and Syaoran were supposed to get married. I hope you'll forgive me when you get your memory back but I was kinda watching you both through the surveillance cameras from the house…'Mr. and Mrs. Li' is written there because Syaoran said it was to prepare for the future"

"What future?" Sakura asked curiously.

"Your future…" Tomoyo said with a soft smile. "…together"

"Oh" she replied unsurely. "S-So, why is there a crown here?"

"Probably since you're gonna be royalty if and when you marry him"

"Royalty?" asked Airi and Emi.

Tomoyo looked at them and nodded. "She was supposed to be wedded with the prince of China"

Airi and Emi's eyes widened. Cherry was supposed to marry the prince of China but ended up with engaging with a commoner.


"Syaoran, we have to set the wedding date…when would you want it?" Yelan asked her son who was sitting on the crouch with his bride-to-be.

"Probably in about a month, heck we can even wait until a year" Syaoran said not actually caring when it's set.

"I suggest it to be in 1 week" said a voice from behind them.

Yuan just entered the conference room.

"Dear?" asked Yelan.

"The elders and I have made a decision to set the wedding in a week. It is best if we get over with the wedding do Syaoran can finally have full rights to step up and take the crown"

"Father, does it have to be so soon?" asked Syaoran, standing from his seat. Sure he didn't care about the wedding, but he didn't want to be married that fast.

Yuan looked at his son seriously.

"The elders and I have come to this decision, we think it is best"

Syaoran sat back down, knowing it was pointless to talk back and do against their decision. He knows he'll lose unless he was already the King, then he could make the decisions.

"One week it is" he muttered.


"Don't I have to tell Yuki?" Sakura asked Tomoyo.

They were all in the car, heading back to Tomoeda. Aki and Mika stayed in the Sumiya house along with a crying Emi and a saddened Airi. Sakura felt bad for leaving them there after everything they had done to her but the group who claimed to be her friends from before she lost her memory seemed to be a trustworthy group. She bid her thanks and goodbyes and now they were on the road towards Tomoeda.


"Mother, where's Cherry? I have something to give her" Yasuki said as he stepped into the house.

"Onii-chan!" Emi shouted as he ran towards him in tears.

"What's wrong?"

"They took Cherry away!"

"What? Who did?"

Airi walked into the entrance hall.

"Her friends…her real friends Yasuki…they're on their way to Tomoeda right now. They're stopping a wedding of Cherry's real fiancé"

"What? Why did you let her go?"

"I had to, it's where she truly belongs"

"She belongs with us! With me! She is my fiancée" Yasuki shouted frustrated.

Airi was about to say something but Yasuki was already out the door and in his car. She watched him from the porch as he drove out the gate and onto the road.


"That's it! We're going to Hong Kong!" Tomoyo declared irritably.

Eriol had tried calling Syaoran again but, as expected, they couldn't get through to him. Tomoyo was pissed off…they really had to tell him Sakura wasn't dead yet so that he wouldn't make the biggest mistake of his life.

"Tomoyo?" asked Sakura.

"Hai Sakura?" she said, turning to the girl next to her but in a friendlier tone.

"Umm…if we go to Syaoran-kun to his wedding in Hong Kong, what will we do then?"

"You're going to declare your love for him and he'll cancel the whole wedding off!"

"But, I don't love him…I don't even know him"

Tomoyo smiled sadly at her. "He'll figure something out. Until then, you wanna see some stuff you did in the past?"

Sakura looked at her curiously. Tomoyo grinned at her and pulled her to her room followed by the rest of the group except for Touya who stayed in the living room to talk with Fujitaka and Sonomi.

They entered the room and everyone seated themselves, on the bed, on the floor and some on the chairs. Sakura sat on the bed along with Eriol as Tomoyo stood up and opened the cabinet beside the huge TV.

"Sakura? Is that all of me?" she asked, seeing the labels.

Tomoyo smiled at her and nodded.

"Tomoyo, play the one during our graduation since all of us were there" suggested Chiharu.

Tomoyo scanned the tape labels. She smiled as she took out one and put it in the VCR and hit play. She went over to her seat in between Sakura and Eriol.

The black screen suddenly showed off a younger version of Sakura and she was shocked seeing this.


"Tomoyo! A-Are you sure you should be taping me right now?" said a teenage Sakura, blushing madly in front of the camera.

"Oh Sakura, we're graduating…I've been filming you since we were kids, don't tell me you still feel uncomfortable" said Tomoyo's voice behind the camera so she wasn't seen.

They were currently in front of the school grounds; there were students and parents constantly passing by behind Sakura. The students were all wearing white togas with flowers pinned by their chest.

Sakura's blushing lessened and her face lit up.

"Hey Rika! Naoko! Where's Chiharu and Takashi?" said Sakura as two more girls came into the camera.

"Hey Sakura" they both said then they looked at the camera and waved. "Hey Tomoyo"

"Chiharu and Takashi are over there" Rika said, pointing to the right side of the camera while Naoko was giggling.

The camera moved to where Rika was pointing and in the distance, was indeed Chiharu shouting at a grinning Takashi.

Tomoyo zoomed in on them and no later they both looked over at the camera and waved. Then the camera was back on the three girls.

"Hey, where are Eriol and Syaoran?" Tomoyo asked making Sakura shrug.

All of a sudden a guy stepped in front of the camera and smiled, blocking the view to Sakura.

"Hey Eriol! Move a bit, I can't see Sakura!" Tomoyo said as a hand from behind the camera tried to shoo him off.

"Hey, is that a way to treat your boyfriend"

"When it concerns Sakura, then yeah" Tomoyo said along with a giggle.

"Fine then" Eriol said in mock hurt as he moved out of the way, showing a kissing couple.

"Kawaii!" shouted Tomoyo's voice as the camera moved up and down showing that Tomoyo was jumping around but the camera still focused on the kissing couple.

The two parted and Sakura looked at the camera now redder than she already was along with Syaoran who was grinning beside her.


"Oh my gosh!" said Sakura when she noticed it was she kissing with the boy. "Who is that guy I'm kissing?"

"That's Syaoran, your current fiancé and boyfriend for 4 years and a few months unless you count that time when he left when you were 17 and came back when you were 18 then it'll be 5 years and a few months" Tomoyo said grinning at the expression on her face.

Sakura looked back at the screen as it showed herself walking down the hallway with Syaoran's arm around her waist.

"Was I in love with him?"

Everyone turned to look at her.

"Very" they all said in unison in a serious tone.

Sakura nodded and looked back at the screen.

"I have the graduation ceremony in another tape, next scene will be the picnic we all had at the park after graduation" said Tomoyo.

The group continued to watch, everyone sighing at the memories they had created in the past, Sakura watched on in pure amazement at what they were doing and she can't help but blush every time she saw a scene where in Syaoran and she were kissing.

"Guys, dad and auntie just talked everything out" Touya said as he entered the room.

"What is it?" asked Tomoyo as she paused the tape.

"You're all going to Hong Kong"

"Nani!" they all said at the same time.

Touya nodded and looked at Eriol, Tomoyo and Sakura.

"You three will head on to Hong Kong in two days, the rest of you," he said looking at Rika, Naoko, Chiharu and Takashi "will have to Hong Kong the day after since tomorrow's flights are all fully booked except those 3 seats we got"

"B-But-" Naoko tried to say but was cut off by Touya.

"Don't worry about the expenses, dad and auntie said they'll take care of it"
