Preview of last chapter:

The girl Syaoran had called Akuni widened her eyes in surprise.

Syaoran extended an arm towards her. "Sakura, please…" he whispered. His tears were falling now, slowly. "Let me explain…"

Sakura didn't let him finish. "I trusted you!" she screamed, backing away from him more. "I trusted you! I gave you everything! I loved you…" she said on a softer tone. Shaking her head more at him, she turned her back and ran towards the exit.

Chapter 3: Unexpected Visitor

When she was back at home, Sakura took out her phone and hit the speed dial. Tomoyo's voice came almost immediately. "'Kura?"

"Tomoyo…" Sakura managed to say, before dissolving into tears. "Syaoran…"

"Wait," Tomoyo interrupted. "I'll be there in a moment." And she hung up.

Sakura shut her phone and held it in her hand. Memories of her days with Syaoran flooded her mind, not enabling there was space for anything else. Sobbing, she curled up on her bed and just lay there, crying out the pain from her broken heart.

Tomoyo reached the house and flung open the door. Touya sat on the couch watching TV. When she entered he looked up and smiled. "Hello, Tomoyo."

"Where's Sakura?" she asked, forgetting to greet him in her haste and worry.

Touya's smile faded. "She's upstairs," he told her. "I'd better let you know that she isn't in a good mood."

"I know," Tomoyo said simply and ran up the staircase to Sakura's room. Before entering, she knocked softly on the door. "'Kura?"

"Come in," came her voice, muffled by something Tomoyo recognized as pain…pain from a broken heart.

She twisted the doorknob and entered. Her curiosity turned to surprise when she found her cousin and best friend leaning against her wall with her knees up her chest with her arms wrapped around them. Her cheeks were tear-stained and her eyes red-rimmed from crying.

Tomoyo climbed onto the bed and embraced Sakura. Sakura put her head on Tomoyo's shoulder and resumed crying.

Tomoyo didn't need to ask what was wrong. Almost immediately Sakura began telling her story. "It's Syaoran…he's with someone else," she said miserably. "He held her hand, kissed her…then even dared to tell me to let him explain."

"He broke his promise to you?" Tomoyo asked, concealing her anger well. For the sweet and timid her she actually had a furious temper, especially when it came to heartbreaks from people she cared for.

Sakura nodded miserably and cried more. "He would listen when no one else would, Tomoyo. And now he's gone. I've lost him to someone else." She buried her face in her knees.

"I could talk to him," Tomoyo suggested. "Maybe he really did have a good reason."

"Not you too!" Sakura said, pushing her away. "Syaoran's gone, Tomoyo. I have to accept that and move on. I guess now, since he's broken his promise I am no longer his."

She lay on the bed on her stomach, her face in the pillow. Tomoyo gripped her friend shoulder. "'Kura?" But Sakura wouldn't move much less respond.

Tomoyo sighed, then left the room, the last sound she heard being Sakura's sobs.

Sakura spent a week in her room, refusing to talk to anyone. She would only answer her phone, but only the calls from Tomoyo. To her surprise and disgust, Syaoran tried calling her twice everyday and sent her a couple of SMSes. Things like:

Sakura, please let me talk to you.

Please just answer my calls.

Don't ignore me, Sakura, please.

He might as well have talked to a wall. Sakura ignored all his calls, the total opposite of what he pleaded her not to do. She deleted his SMSes after reading them.

Touya had tried to coax her out, but nothing worked. Eventually he called his best friend, Yukito. "Yukito?" he said.

"Yukito here, Touya," came the reply. "What's up?"

"Yukito, I need help," Syaoran begged. "Please. Sakura's in her room, she's not coming out. She's been ignoring everyone except Tomoyo."

"Won't she ignore me too?"

Touya shook his head, even though he knew his best friend couldn't see it. "No. Remember, she used to have a childhood crush on you. She might listen."

In his house, Yukito squirmed uncomfortably. Touya had brought up the subject of Sakura's old crush on him. He never loved her like she did, but to him she was little more than a sister.

After long thoughts, he nodded. "Okay. I'll be there soon."

Yukito's soon meant less than five minutes. He rapped his knuckles on the front door of his best friend's house. Touya opened the door almost immediately. After a tight bear hug, Touya said, "She's in her room," and guided him there.

"Good luck," he wished.

Yukito took in a deep breath and knocked on the door. Sakura's soft miserable voice replied, "Who is it?"

"Yukito."

In her room, Sakura stared at the door. Yukito? she thought. "Come in."

Yukito walked in, his familiar face lighting up the room like it always did. "Hello, Sakura."

The girl he spoke to nodded miserably at him before staring at the floor again. Her eyes were sunken and red-rimmed from spending her sleepless nights crying. She didn't want to sleep, because the dreams were always the same: her memories of her time with Syaoran.

Yukito came to sit beside her. "Wanna tell me what's wrong?"

Sakura didn't answer. In fact she felt just a little uncomfortable with Yukito's presence. Before Syaoran, he was the person she went to when she had problems if Tomoyo wasn't around.

Before he knew it, Sakura fell into tears again. "Syaoran…" she breathed. "He's left me. Broken his promise. Left me for someone else. After I gave everything I had to him!" She flung her pillow to the opposite side of the room. It hit her table with enough force to knock off a necklace.

Yukito got up and picked it up. It had a heart shaped locket strung onto it. He fiddled with the catch and opened it. A picture of a smiling Syaoran filled the interior. He sighed, closed the locket and put it on her bedside table.

He put his arm around her, not in a boyfriend-girlfriend way, but sorta like a comforting way. "C'mon, Sakura. You can't stay caged up like this." He forced her to face him, and he tilted her chin up.

"Look at yourself in the mirror," he said. "You're pretty and still young. Forget about him; it's not your fault." Sakura smiled at him.
