…Depressing Moment of Her Life…

He just left. A letter saying good bye was all he gave me. Why do I have to be so stupid? Why?

-Sakura-

!

Sakura stared out of the window after waking up from the same dream. "Why do I always dream of that?" She asked herself. "Why would I feel that he's not Syaoran when he is Syaoran?"

It had been three days since he left her. She didn't get complete sleep anymore. She didn't go to school because of depression. She missed him so much.

Kero watched over her. The cards were getting weaker for the past three days. He tried to sustain the cards but it wasn't enough. He wanted to ask help from Yue but he was off to college with Touya.

Kero tried to call Tomoyo but she was in Paris with her mother. He wasn't sure if he could call Sakura's other friends so he did most of the chores with the help of some cards.

On the fourth day of depression, Kero and the Mirror card, in the form of Sakura, was making lunch for Sakura when someone knocked on the door.

"I'll get it." The Mirror card said. She walked towards the door and opened it. She smiled at the tall person on the doorstep. "Hello, Onni-chan."

"Don't say that." Touya said, "You're not even Sakura. So where is she?"

"Oh." The Mirror card frowned. "She's upstairs but please don't taunt her today."

Touya didn't answer back. He hurriedly went upstairs. He didn't even notice that Kero was fluttering by the kitchen. The Mirror card went back to the kitchen. Kero asked her, "It's her brother, right?" The Mirror card nodded. "We're going to get discovered soon."

"Isn't that a good thing?" The Mirror card asked, "He knew about Yue already so why not let him know about you?"

Kero sighed. "I guess you're right. Once he comes down, I'll tell him everything."

Touya opened the door slowly and discreetly. He looked at the figure over the window sill. Then, he looked around. 'Everything's clean. I guess I owe it to that girl downstairs.' He entered the room and said, "Sakura, what's wrong this time?"

Sakura, the real Sakura, looked at him and smiled weakly. "Welcome back, Onni-chan."

"I asked you what's wrong." Touya answered in the same tone.

"Nothing's wrong." Sakura answered, "I'm fine, really."

Touya remarked, "So tell me why there is a girl that looks like you downstairs?"

Sakura looked surprised. "I don't know what you're talking about, Onni-chan. It's just me. You must've met my doppelganger or something."

Touya didn't make a remark. He approached his sister and hugged her. "Don't be like this. I came all this way just to see if what I felt was right. It turns out that it is. Yukito said he'll come back as well to see you. He had the same feeling."

Sakura snuggled in her brother's chest. She broke into tears. "He left me. He just left. A letter saying good bye was all he gave me. Why do I have to be this stupid?" She cried, "Why?"

"Sakura…" Touya comforted, "He's not worth it. There are other guys around. I'm sure there's another one out there just for you."

"For me, it's Syaoran." Sakura continued, "He said he loved me but he had to leave me and marry another girl because his mother wanted him to." She added, "It's not fair."

Touya sighed. 'I'm gonna break that guy's neck once I get him.' He continued to comfort Sakura until she fell asleep. When she did, he went downstairs and saw that the other Sakura, the Mirror card was still there. "Why are you still here?"

The Mirror card said, "I'm here on my shift. The other cards will be here soon."

Touya was confused. "What do you mean other cards?" Out of the blue, fifty-one pink slips of hard paper floated around Touya. "What are these things?"

"These are my brothers and sisters." The Mirror card replied, "We used to be called Clow cards but now we are called Sakura cards since she is our captor."

"Your captor?" Touya asked as he looked at the cards. "You mean, my monster of a sister caught all of you?"

The Mirror card decided to change its form and turned into a girl with long blue hair and a white kimono. "No. The other captor was Li Syaoran but though Yue's decision, Sakura became our owner."

Touya nodded with amazement. "So you're saying that my sister owns magical cards and she has magical capabilities?"

"Yes."

"I see." Touya answered, "So in the middle of her depression, you guys were taking care of her?"

"Yes." The Mirror card nodded. "She's our owner and supplant for energy. If she gets weak, we get weaker. As of the moment, Keroberus and Yue sustain us with enough energy to live."

Touya asked, "Keruberus?" Of course, he knew that Yue was none other than his best friend, Yukito.

A small bear-like creature appeared in front of Touya. "Hi. I'm Keruberus. I took care of your sister for quite some time now."

Touya poked Kero. "I knew it. I knew you weren't stuffed animal of some sort."

Kero got a little insulted but he held back and kindly said, "I must ask you not tell this to anyone else. Only few people know about my and the cards' existence. It would endanger Sakura-chan as well."

"Could I, at least, tell my father?" Touya asked, "He has the right to know. After all, he'll be coming home soon."

"I just hope that he won't catch Sakura-chan in her state now." Kero added, "I mean, she's not supposed to be this way."

Touya replied, "I know. I hope there was some way we could help her regain her old self."

Kero eyed him. "You don't sound like Sakura's older brother. You seemed to care a lot."

Touya's eyebrows knitted and held Kero in one hand, squishing him. "Of course, I care. She's my sister!" Touya let him go and then said, "I'll stay here momentarily. The other Sakura will pose as the real Sakura for a moment. She needs to keep showing up in school and such."

The Mirror card changed back into Sakura. "Hai!"

The next day, Sakura (The Mirror card) went to school. Touya made breakfast for the both of them that morning since Sakura (The real Sakura) was still sleeping. The gesture made her feel special.

"Can you eat that?" Touya asked the Mirror Card. "I'm not sure since you're not…"

She nodded. "Yes. I could eat that. We ate together a long time ago, remember?"

"Oh, yeah." Touya handed her a plate of bacon and eggs. "Here. I'll bring Sakura her breakfast." He had a bowl with him and went upstairs. He muttered, "She became like this because of a worthless guy… Damn Li brat."

The Mirror card smiled and joyfully ate breakfast. She wanted to eat with him but the circumstances stopped the moment.

Sakura stared at the window like she used to do for the past four days. She wanted her life to go on. It was impossible for her since the person she loved the most was getting married to her friend.

Touya knocked on the door, "Hey, you're awake." He entered the room and walked toward her. "I brought you breakfast." Touya placed the tray on her table.

"Thanks." That was all Sakura could say. "Thanks for being my brother, Onni-chan."

He smiled. "You're not bad yourself, Little Sis. Please get over this soon. Your cards are getting weaker by the minute."

"They are?" Sakura looked at him eagerly. "Wait! How did you… I never told you…"

"Your stuffed bear told me. He's sleeping in the book right now." Touya pointed at the Clow Book or Sakura Book.

"Oh." That was all Sakura could say but at least, it was different from the last thing she said.

"Get over him. He's not worth it." Touya answered. He held her sister again. "I don't want you like this anymore, Sakura."

Sakura snuggled in his brother's arms. "I cannot help it; I couldn't stop it if I try. The same old heart beat fills up the emptiness I have inside."

"Sakura…" Touya stood up and decided to leave her for a while.

"And I know that you can't find love, so I won't complain; 'Cause why would you stop the fire that keeps me going on?" Sakura continued to sing. "Coz when there's you, I feel whole and there's no better feeling in the world but without you I'm alone, and I'd rather be in love with you…"

Author's Notes:

Crappy chapter, I know. I wanted to update so badly and this chapter turned out like this. I'm really sorry.

I decided to turn this into a novel-like story since many wanted it to be so. Sadly, I won't write Syaoran's version. I got too many things to do. Also, I'm going to change the title once I upload Chapter 3. The title will now be "Confession of Eternal Love". I really loved the title "Confessions of a Cherry Blossom's Heart" but I have to put Syaoran's 'confessions' in here as well.

Please review and I look forward to seeing your reviews on Chapter 3!
