Bridge of Lakes

¨Sakura-chan.¨ She didn't answer, instead she just chewed on her pen. ¨Sakura-chan!!!!¨ Hissed Tomoyo.

¨Hmmm…what is it? ¨ Sakura hissed back a bit annoyed with Tomoyo.

¨How's it going, with the calculus I mean.¨

For the love of….

¨Tomoyo, it's a test, I need to finish I'll tell you how it went after a finish ok? ¨ Tomoyo nodded and smiled. She could be such an air head at times, but that happened a lot when Eriol came into the picture. If only he did not make her all loopy.

A few more hours passed and Sakura finally turned in her test booklet and answer sheet. She was actually the last one to do it but work took time and she did not want to repeat calculus in college. After this she wouldn't have to take any more math because she would be a sophomore and free to choose the classes she wanted. A small bell rang and everyone dashed outside for lunch. Some went to the cafeteria to get well, cafeteria food but most of everyone in the right mind set went out to eat.

Sakura climed into Tomoyo´s car and sighed in frustration, she hated raw math as in equations rather than money and shopping. It was way too frustrating on her poor nerves.

¨How did it go? ¨ Tomoyo asked shifting into drive and speeding out of the parking lot. For a sophisticated girl she loved danger in a car more than she loved Eriol's life sometimes.

¨It was ok, I don't think I actually aced it but I must have been pretty close to it.¨ Tomoyo nodded and went into a highway, and Sakura looked at her curiously.

¨Where are we going? I thought it was lunch time.¨ Tomoyo nodded.

¨I know, I just got to go to the airport and pick up a friend. Elli said he had a really long final exam and would not be able to pick his friend up.¨

¨Oh, ¨ Tomoyo giggled and sped down the high way.

¨TOMOYO SLOW DOWN DAMN IT!!!¨ Tomoyo laughed and parked in the airport.

¨We're here.¨ Sakura glared at Tomoyo who jus smiled innocently. Sakura looked out the window and sure enough they were at Tokyo Airport.

¨Next time I drive.¨ Tomoyo wagged her forefinger in the air.

¨I don't think so dear, my car, my rules.¨ Sakura frowned at her cousin.

¨My life, my heart, my rules, if I don't drive then I'll sit in the back.¨

¨Oh honey that won't hurt me in the slightest, you but not me.¨

Sakura rolled her eyes as they got out of the Mercedes. They walked to the arrival gates and waited at a particularly far one. They sat down and got comfortable, Sakura didn't even bother to look at where the flight was coming from, she really didn't care. Tomoyo looked at the clock over the gate and murmured something that sounded like ¨He's late, he should have called.¨

¨What was that? ¨ Sakura asked her ears perking up at the last bit of the comment.

¨N-nothing, say why don't you go get something to eat. I'm not really hungry so just get me some soda.¨

¨You'll get fat and Eriol won't want you anymore.¨ Tomoyo gave her a glare.

¨Say that again and next time my speed will be noticed by the helicopters in the air by the sea.¨

¨Point taken.¨ Then she dashed off to a near by restaurant. ¨Jeez she's getting touchier as the days go by.¨ She said to herself sipping a smoothie.

A few hours passed and Sakura was still in the restaurant which she later found out was a café and no word from Tomoyo. She pulled out a book from her messenger bag and began to re-read Romeo and Juliet. It was her favorite book and the author William Shakespeare inspired her writing, and poetry. Her dream was to have one of her many manuscripts printed and read for young adults, but she also loved to sing with her cousin at many of her shows. She was right at the end of the book, when Juliet was in the dead volt when her cell phone began to vibrate. Sakura jumped almost knocking down the small table. She dug through her bag then finally remembered it was in her pocket. She picked it up and saw a text message on the screen of her Black Berry.

´Come one sweetie, time to go.´ It read, Sakura sighed, she was right at the good part of the damned book and it was then when her cousin was ready to leave. She had some rotten luck.

Sakura slowly placed the book back in her bag, ordered two sodas and an extra smoothie paid the bill and dashed out. She walked a bit faster not wanting to keep Eriol's friend waiting too long, she had lost track of time, and she always did when reading it was a habit of hers.

She reached the exit and it was nearly empty. The people had gotten their friends and families and left. Tomoyo and Eriol's friend were the only ones sitting there. They seemed to be having a nice time chatting like old friends. Sakura came to them and handed them the sodas. She smiled at the person sitting next to Tomoyo.

¨I hope you like Sprite it was all they had.¨ The person rose up and Tomoyo did the same with a sheepish smile.

¨Sakura-chan, honey open your eyes.¨

¨What I can't keep my eyes closed now and then.¨ Tomoyo sighed.

¨Sakura right now you really do need to see him. ¨ Sakura finally opened her eyes and instantly her smile faded and she dropped her smoothie. ¨I better go and get something to clean that up with, I'll be back.¨

She left and left the two there. Sakura was speechless as she stared into his wolf like amber eyes. It couldn't be him, no, no it couldn't.

¨S-Syaoran? ¨ She whispered still very unsure of herself.

This wasn't her Syaoran, no it just couldn't be and yet it was. All of him, his eyes, his hair, it was him. He was so much taller; his eyes were sharper and just a bit darker. They seemed more wolf like than when they had first met. His hair of course was the same just a bit messier, but his face, his face was long and lean a scar right above his thick left eyebrow and his lips firm yet soft.

¨Yeah, its me.¨ He smiled sheepishly. His voice was so much deeper and surprisingly sexy.

¨Its you….I-it's really you.¨ Tears overflowed from her eyes and she tried to wipe them away but they just kept coming. Slowly she walked into his chest and grabbed his shirt and cried into him. As soon as she was close enough to him he snagged her waist and held her tightly against him letting her cry.

¨Everything is going to be alright Sakura, its ok now.¨ He said softly into her ear. He knew she had suffered in his time away, he felt it everyday. It was as if they were connected without even knowing it themselves. But none the less the pain she had felt was so real and the pain in his heart, the ach just to hear her voice, he had never been so miserable in his damned life.

¨You never called, or left any messages, or even a letter!!!¨ She screamed and punched him as hard as he could in his refined gut but only ended up hurting herself. ¨Why?!?! Why you stupid insensitive jerk!!! It's been six long and hard years you know?!?!¨ He held her tighter against his chest as her body shook with tears.

¨I know, I know Sakura.¨

¨NO!!! No you don't know, Syaoran I've missed you more than I have missed anyone in my life. I wanted to see you and I couldn't even use my magic to do that. Syaoran I love you.¨ She finally said looking up into his liquid amber eyes that would make any women melt right at his feet. ¨I love you so much.¨ She whispered burying her face in his chest again. ¨Don't you ever leave like that do you hear me? Ever.¨

¨There is no way in hell that I would consider that Sakura.¨ He said stroking her hair gently. ¨I won't leave you alone again, Sakura I promise you that. I still love and I always will, no matter what happens.¨
