Just remember that I will NEVER discontinue my stories. Love you all! Read on!

Chapter Nine

"So We Meet"

Eriol held up his arms as the guy searched his pockets for anything dangerous. After doing so, he dropped his hands and entered with the rest of the group.

"They sure do have tight security" pointed out Takashi, who was now in his normal clothes.

"What do you expect?" said Rika. "Their family is after all royalty"

Sakura looked down at her white dress, smoothened it down and adjusted the ribbon that was made into a headband for her hair with the excess falling down her back. She was wearing all white, even her sandals and her jewelry which was made of white-gold except for the necklace around her neck which was of a ruby, the one given by Syaoran.

"I don't know why but I'm feeling very nervous about something"

Tomoyo smiled at her. Her true feelings for Syaoran were kicking in.

As they made their way towards the entrance, a maid met them half way through and bowed before speaking.

"Excuse me" she said in Japanese. "The prince has instructed me to tell you that he will meet you by the gardens"

The group bowed as they followed the maid until they arrived into the very beautiful garden. Different assortments of flowers were planted everywhere and looked absolutely divine. Two swings hung under a branch of a huge tree and a round tea table was placed by the small stream. A small bridge was over the stream connecting to the other side where more different flowers and plants were planted.

"This is absolutely beautiful" said Tomoyo as she started taping.

Sakura looked at the view with a sweet smile, loving every part of it. She giggled and started running to the middle of the grounds and spinning around making her dress flow giving her a look of an angel considering that she was wearing all white also because her beauty really was angelic.

The other girls giggled at her actions and ran after her. Eriol took the camcorder and took a video of the rest of the girls as they imitated Sakura.

They were all almost wearing the same thing. Except, Tomoyo's dress was blue and her hair was in a braid. Rika's was pink and her hair was held at the sides with pink barrettes, and Naoko's dress was sunny yellow and she was wearing a yellow head band.

After a few minutes of savoring the scene, Rika and Naoko went over to the swings and sat there talking. Eriol and Tomoyo were sitting on the chairs at the tea table while Takashi and Chiharu were at the bridge holding hands and talking.

Sakura on the other hand…

"Tomoyo, I need to go the bathroom" she said as she started skipping towards the mansion.

"Do you know which way to go?" she shouted at her retreating back.

Sakura smiled and walked backwards. "I'll find my way!" she shouted with a giggle before turning around again.

"Mother, my friends who arrived from Japan are waiting for me outside by the gardens. I'll be stepping outside to meet them"

"Of course dear, and bring Chyou with you, she'll be glad to meet your friends"

"Understood" he said in a serious tone before exiting the hall where his mother, his sisters and other helpers were preparing for the wedding that was set in a few days.

Sakura sighed happily and went out of the room. She had opened a lot of doors…I mean, really a lot. The mansion was huge and she only just found one bathroom within the many doors lined in the many hallways.

She walked along wondering where the way back was and decided to just explore her way back to the gardens.

After a few minutes of walking around she finally heard people talking coming from one of the grander doors she had seen so far. She raised her hand slowly and knocked lightly on the well-carved wood.

Nobody answered, but the voices were still heard from the outside. She knocked again, but this time louder and the voices inside hushed.

The door opened and Sakura was face to face with four familiar faces.

It was the quads.

They all shrieked when they saw Sakura and started hugging her all over again.

"Girls, girls" said an older voice from behind them, making them stop and let her go. Yelan looked at her daughters and gave them a look before turning to Sakura. "What can we do for you young lady?"

"I'm sorry for interrupting" said Sakura with a bow. "I was finding my way a-"

"Mother, she's a Japanese girl" said Fuutie.

"I see that" said Yelan as she smiled at Sakura who returned it sweetly.

"We met her at the store" said Fiemie.

"When we were buying a gift for Syaoran" said Xiefia.

"She is so kawaii" said Fanfren.

The sisters really were hyper.

Yelan shooed them away and they skipped back to their work which was looking through magazines for ideas for the wedding. She turned to Sakura who was still standing in the same spot outside the door.

"Do come in"

"Thank you" Sakura said with another bow as she stepped inside.

The maid who had opened the door was about to close it but Sakura did it herself. She looked up at Yelan but she shook her head and waved her hand for her to go back to her original work.

"What is your name child?" Yelan asked, turning back to Sakura as they walked around slowly, looking at everyone as they arranged flowers, sewed designs on cloth and other necessities for the wedding.

"Cherry" she answered. She knew her real name was Sakura but Tomoyo told her to use Cherry when anyone asks her who lived in the palace.

"What a nice name"

"Thank you"

Yelan looked at her up and down, she really looked and acted like a sweet girl. Then, her eyes landed on the necklace she wore…it looked really familiar.

"What a beautiful necklace you have there" Yelan said as she faced her.

"Thank you, I am also quite fond of it"

"Where did you buy it?"

"Oh, I didn't buy it, it was given to me"

"Really now?" asked Yelan as she took the pendant in her palm, running a finger through the familiar ruby. She turned it around and saw it…'Mr. and Mrs. Li' with a crown underneath.

This was her necklace. The necklace Yuan gave her as a present before she got married to him. She gave this necklace to Syaoran a year ago when she told him he has to be married soon and that he has to give this to the girl he really loves and plans to marry.

"Yes, but…but I can't remember who" Sakura said uncertain if she was allowed by Tomoyo to tell that piece of information.

Yelan dropped the necklace from her hands as it hit back on Sakura's chest. She didn't expect that answer at all. How can she acquire this necklace from her son and not remember him?

"So, Cherry…why are you here?"

"Well, my friends and I came to see S-S…umm…S…Mr. Li"

"You mean Syaoran?" she asked.

"Yes! That's him…do you know him?"

"Yes, indeed I do. Why do you know him?"

"We are friends"

"How did you meet him?"

"I…I…" Sakura was at a lost…she couldn't remember at all. "I forgot"

"You forgot?"

"Y-Yes, believe it or not…I forgot and I-I don't know what to do about it" Sakura said, tears now brimming in her eyes.

"Now, now…young ladies do not cry so easily" said Yelan. At normal circumstances, she would've suspected this girl to be a spy of some sort but she looked too innocent to be one, she can't help but pity her.

"I-I am sorry" said Sakura. "I-I must use the ladies room" she said as she rushed to the door where she entered.

She didn't look were she was going considering she had tears in her eyes and bumped someone.

"I-I'm so sorry" she said looking up.

A chill shot through out her body and her heart beats started to go faster than it was before when their eyes locked.

Tears were still sliding down her face. He raised his hand and placed it on her cheek, running his thumb through her skin, wiping her tears away.

"S-Sakura? You're…you're…" Syaoran continued staring at her before he engulfed her in his arms into a hug.

"I-I…" Sakura was confused. Her eyes were still open and she could see Tomoyo and the others looking at her with a smile.

Syaoran finally let go of her and looked at her lovingly.

"Why didn't you call to tell me that you were all right?" he asked, smiling at her.

Yelan and his sisters as well as the rest of the helpers looked at him. The look on his face looked very foreign; they never actually saw him look at anyone like that for the longest time.

Sakura looked at him, she wanted to ask him something but the question she wanted to ask might ruin the moment. She for some reason felt complete in this guy's arms but…she just couldn't help but ask.

"I…umm…that is, w-who are you?" she asked silently.

"W-What? What are you talking about?" he asked.

"I'm sorry…I can't remember…I…"

"It's me Syaoran, how could you forget?" he said.

Seeing realization on Sakura's face made Syaoran smile, she was joking. Of course she was.

"Oh, you're Syaoran! I'm sorry, you looked really different from the videos I saw from Tomoyo's house…You looked younger then…But, now I remember!" Sakura said, smiling up at him.

Syaoran's eyebrows furrowed. Different? Videos? Tomoyo's house? Of course he looked different, the last proper video Tomoyo took of him was when they were graduating. Why can she remember him only in the videos? And why did she say 'Tomoyo's house' when it was both their houses…I mean, they did live together.

"What are you talking about?" he asked. "You are Sakura are you?" He looked down and saw the necklace he gave her around her neck. "That's a stupid question, of course you are. But, what happened to you?"

"Well…I…"

"Syaoran" said a soft voice behind him.

He turned around as Tomoyo stepped forward.

"What is it?"

"It's about Sakura…she…"

"What about her?"

"Well, you remember when Eriol called you about her getting into an accident?"

"Yeah, but she's all right, she's here…with me…what else is there to tell?"

"Well, you see…when she got into an accident, we couldn't find her for weeks. I mean, we came to a conclusion that she was dead. For, if she weren't she would've been looking for us to show that she was alive. Well, after a month, we found her, with another family"

"Another family?" he asked Tomoyo before turning to Sakura. "Why didn't you return to Tomoyo and the guys right after you woke up?"

"Umm…you see…" Sakura was now really confused, what should she say?

"I'll answer for her Syaoran" said Tomoyo, making him look at her. "There would be no other reason why Sakura wouldn't come back to us right? Unless she was dead…or if she doesn't know us"

"W-What? What are you talking about?"

Tomoyo took a deep breath. She wasn't making much sense in her sentence because she doesn't want to tell Syaoran too directly, but she knew she couldn't avoid it for so long. So…

"Syaoran, Sakura has amnesia"
