Author's Notes: Ok, ok, I know I'm late *avoids being hit by paper balls*, but please don't get mad!! Seriously, my schedule is all whacked up now, and when I have free time, all I wanna do is relax/go online/draw so I don't get that much time for my ficcies like before. I will always update though, that is a guarantee ^_^. What else Oh yes! I'm switching internet servers, and now I'll have cable modem! I'm so happy! So many new opportunities *drool*. I'm also going to have a website soon, so please wait for that too (S&S dedicated ^_^). And thanks so much for the reviews, guys! It made me so happy!
By the way, the question to the last chapter was, who does Eriol remind Sakura of? Naturally, the answer is Kinomoto Fujitaka, her dad ^^. It's kinda hard to explain, but the manga gots all the details ^^. Thanks for answering! You guys are smart!!

Animefreak242 - Answer
to your question about the vase Reiko-chan never admitted
anything about the vase; it was actually Hiroyuki [stepbrother]
who did it. All Reiko did was try to stand up for Sakura-chan
at the dinner table so Sakura wouldn't be in deeper trouble. Yumi-san
didn't like the fact that Reiko was standing up for Sakura and
exclaims that she is becoming "more and more like her"
supposedly. ^^

Chapter Six - Promise II
By, azngurL
In the middle of the quaint forest, a dim light was shining down upon the trees because of moonlight. Sakura and Syaoran were there, taking it all in, trying to keep the moment alive. "Syaoran-kun, I'm very sorry. I should've told you," Sakura whispered in his embrace.
Syaoran was in a state of angst, and held her close. " That's why you're different? "
"So many people say I've changed because they don't know the real me anymore," Sakura replied.
"So what is the real you?" Syaoran asked letting her go, and taking her shoulders and whirling her around so he confronted her.
Sakura remained silent and didn't look at him. She turned her gaze to a running creek that made such a light noise, and it just echoed throughout the whole dim-lighted forest.
He noticed her turned away, turning away from the subject, from him, from everything. "It still doesn't explain why you're acting the way you do to Daidouji," He whispered.
"Our business has nothing to do with anything It doesn't concern you," She said, still looking at the running creek.
He still held on to her shoulders. "Why? Why won't you tell me anything?" He asked.
No reply. Sakura didn't say a word, didn't look at him at all. She just kept her gaze at that running creek, and listening to the echoes it made.
"Sakura, look at me!" He yelled as he practically shook her.
Sakura finally looked at him and said so quietly, "What? What do you want me to say? Why do you want me to say anything when I just wanna keep it all to myself?"
"I wanna help you! I know something's wrong, something's going wrong! I wanna help, just tell me what's wrong, Sakura!" He exclaimed.
"I don't want any help! I don't, I don't need help!" She exclaimed, trying to free herself from.
He let go of her and she fell to the ground in a sudden movement. She hugged herself with her arms and didn't look at him once more, didn't say anything. He dropped down to the floor, facing her. They were just there, not saying anything, and there was a morose silence. He then took his hand and cupped her face. "Look at me," He whispered.
Sakura slowly turned her head to look at him, and her face was so sad to look at. She was silent and so was he, and he gathered up all of the courage in the world to say, "It feels like I don't know the real you anymore."
"So when did you suddenly become Miss Best Friend again?" Shiro asked, leaning against the shooting water fountain.
Tomoyo looked at him with an annoyed look. "What's it to you? Anything that goes on between us has absolutely nothing to do with you," She snapped.
"Yeah? So what if it doesn't concern me? I'm worried about Sakura-san too," Shiro said, looking at her.
"Yeah well, so is Li-kun, but then again, there's no difference, is there?" Tomoyo asked, being sardonic. "In the end, we realize that everyone here is worried for her because they love her, that's always the case. But then again, it also tells us that we love her so much, it hurts to see her drift away from you"
Shiro looked up at the night sky and said, "I guess everyone's afraid of that happening,"
"You love Sakura-chan more than anything?" She asked.
He looked at her, turning his gaze slowly from the sky. "I don't know if I love her more than anything," He whispered.
"Oh? Then what?" She asked.
"I love her more than life itself."
"Sakura, gomen [sorry].
Please don't cry," Syaoran said, still sitting on the ground
with her.
Her head turned away, she tried to stop her tears and she whispered,
"I can't stop though Isn't it funny? I was exactly
like this when my Otosan died, except that," She turned
to look at him. "I knew that he wouldn't want me crying like
this all the time. But then you whenever I look
at you, I get sad because I'm so afraid of losing
you. You treat me like you don't know me now, and I I just
don't know what or how to act around you. You make me feel so
intimidated to you now, I can't stand it,"
At her words, he suddenly felt bad and turned his head. "I'm
I'm sorry. I never meant it for you to feel that way,"
"Mm," She mumbled, still looking at the ground. She got up and wobbled to her feet. "I'm sorry if I'm causing you any trouble. If you think I'm a burden to you now Then where do you wanna go from here," She looked at him, and he looked back at her. "Syaoran-kun?" She continued.
Issho ni ite hoshii nante
Omoccha ikenai to
I know I shouldn't think about
How I wish we could always be together]
His eyes widened and he backed away a little. "What do you mean, where do you wanna go? Sakura, you can't be serious, right? I mean, come on, we-"
"You said it yourself, what's the point in going on with this relationship if nothing is going to happen!?" Sakura continued, snapping back. She immediately turned away and though to herself, "Damn!!" while covering her mouth and closing her eyes tightly.
Syaoran became looked at the back of her head and sighed and said, "Fine. If it's better this way, then I have no problem about it," He then whispered, "I haveno problem with it,"
"S!!!" Sakura thought as she started to cry silently, still covering her mouth.
"You need to be happy, right?" He asked as he put his hand on her shoulder. "If you're happy, then I'm happy That's what I only wish for you So This'll make everything better then, right? If I see you happy, then I'll be happy. That's all you gotta do For me Be happy with Tzuki, 'kay?" He asked.

So much so that it hurts.]
He patted her shoulder and noticed that she didn't do anything. "Sakura won't you even look at me?" He started to walk to where she was and suddenly she said, "Stop." "Eh?" He whispered to himself.
"Please don't come here," She whispered; her back still to him.

"Sakura"
"I don't want you to look at me. I look like crap right now and I can't let you see that. I don't want you to see me as a person who's not strong and looks so weak So weak that it makes that person cry so much," She whispered.
His eyes widened. "Sakura?" He swiftly turned her to look at her and he saw her red and crying face. "Sakura," He whispered, his arms on her shoulders. "Why?"
Her face wasn't looking at his; their eyes didn't meet. "This
is how it'll be?" She asked.
He didn't reply and just kept looking at her.
"I don't know why I'm crying Everything's so unclear now, and my chest hurts so much. What is it that I'm feeling?" She couldn't contain herself anymore and just leaned towards his chest. "Just please do me a favorAnd hug me tightly, pleaseOne last time?"
He took her in his embrace and hugged her tightly. She cried on his chest and felt his warmth. She kept on crying and crying And then he too Syaoran he began to cry as well, but silently, to not let Sakura know.

only I see, and keep on loving you...]
"Tzuki Mm," Tomoyo mumbled as she swiftly turned her head aside. "I guess it was kinda obvious,"
"Kinda obvious? You knew?" Shiro asked.
"Women's intuition is never wrong. Plus, you seem so willing and so protective over Sakura-chan. I thought it was just a harmless friendship, but what guy could not love Sakura-chan? I mean come on," Tomoyo said, practically laughing.
Shiro walked over to the fountain and jumped on it and sat down. "Enough about me," He said, smiling. "What about you? Are you and Sakura-san gonna go back to the friendship you guys had?"
"Wakaranai [I don't know]," She whispered while twirling her long hair.
"You don't know? Why not?" He asked.
Tomoyo began gradually silent and didn't reply.
"Oy, Daidouji, answer
me," He said.
Then he could see it-Tomoyo's tears-which just started flowing
down her pale face. He walked over to her and put his hand on
her shoulder. "Daidouji what's wrong?"
"Would she" Tomoyo whispered.
"Would she what?"
"Would she even accept me again? Even after the things I said to her?"
Shiro gently smiled. "Daidouji no baka [You idiot] Of course. It's Sakura-san we're talking about here. You guys are the ones who should be making up though. So one of you has to make an effort to do something about this otherwise, nothing will happen. Everything will work out for the best," He patted her shoulder and smiled. "Right?"
She looked up at him and said, "Hai!!"
It's no wonder why I always see Sakura-chan so content with Tzuki Shiro. He makes you feel so happy and comforting That night He brought me home and when I went to my room, I started to cry again. But the tears that I shed that night were tears of relief and happiness. Tzuki is right Sakura-chan I miss those days. I just wanna hug you and comfort you like I used to when you were happy or sad How much fun we had It seems like a big memory I lost.
But with you and Li-kun. What's gonna happen? Sakura-chan I wanna tell you now If anything happens between you too.
