Chapter 2: Falling Cherry Blossom Petals
"Syaoran-kun?" Sakura said his name again. 'I can't believe Syaoran-kun's finally back after 8 years. But why is he here?' Sakura took a step forward and gave Syaoran a hug.
"You two know each other?" Megumi asked a little confused. "Wait! Now I remember," Megumi pointed at Syaoran. "You're that Li Syaoran," Megumi said excitedly. Then after a few more moments, "Oh wait, you're that Li Syaoran," Megumi said again, but this time a little sadder.
'Hmm, why did she say it like that the second time?' Syaoran shook his head. 'All that matters is that I found Sakura.' "Hi Sakura," Syaoran said with a blush.
"Syaoran-kun, what are you doing back here in Japan?" Sakura asked.
"I finally finished my business back in Hong Kong. I know that's it taken me eight years, but..." Syaoran glanced over to Megumi.
"Oh, sorry, um, you two should have some privacy or something. Li-san, why don't you get your stuff from your hotel room, and bring it here. Here's the key," Megumi handed him the key to the apartment. "I'll be here all day, so you and Sakura-chan can go, and talk," Megumi added a little smile with the last part.
"Okay," Syaoran nodded in agreement, grateful for Megumi's help. He looked over at Sakura, but she seemed a little worried.
"But, Megumi-chan remember I have to do something later today. So how can I..." Sakura began to ask, but Megumi cut her off.
"So that's why you need to leave right now, Sakura-chan," Megumi began to push Sakura out of the apartment, while Syaoran followed. "And who knows? Maybe that thing later won't matter by the time you and Li-san get back. In any case, I'll take care of it," Megumi gestured for them to get going, and closed the door.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Sakura and Syaoran walked out of the building and onto the street. "So Syaoran-kun, where are you staying at?" Sakura asked as they began walking.
"Oh, it's about 7 blocks from here," Syaoran answered.
"So, how do you like being back in Japan?"
"I love it here," Syaoran hesitated a little. "Especially since you're here with me." Syaoran blushed a little at what he just said. He turned and stopped Sakura, so that she would face him. "Sakura, I'm really sorry. I know I shouldn't have made you wait that long. And I know that I should have kept my promise. But all that matters is that you're here, and I'm here. Sakura I...ouch damn it!" Syaoran yelled because some bicyclist just ran over his foot.
"Sorry!" the bicyclist yelled back to him in reply.
Syaoran started to jump up and down in pain. "Syaoran-kun, are you okay?" Sakura went over to Syaoran to comfort him.
"Yea," Syaoran replied as he stood up straight. 'Why did that have to happen when I was so close to telling Sakura my feelings?'
"Syaoran-kun, let's keep moving. It's always crowded like this in Tokyo," Syaoran nodded in agreement as he was pushed from behind by a business man. "I know a way through the park. Let's go," Sakura grabbed Syaoran's hand and started to run.
Sakura and Syaoran ran swiftly through the crowd. Finally reaching the park, and still holding onto his hand, Sakura turned to him and flashed him a million dollar smile. 'She's so beautiful,' Syaoran thought as he returned Sakura's smile with his own.
The two finally stopped at bench under a cherry blossom tree, and sat down. The petals from the cherry blossoms lazily fell to the ground. Sakura caught one in her hand, "Cherry Blossoms are beautiful aren't they?" Sakura asked. Syaoran nodded in agreement.
Syaoran glanced over at Sakura as a few more petals fell around them. He noticed that her hair was now a little longer, and still looked soft and silky. Her cute, smiling baby face was now replaced with a beauty that surpassed all that he'd seen before. But, with all her changes, her emerald green eyes still remained the same; gentle and happy. Noticing that Sakura was turning to meet his gaze, he looked away and stared up at the clouds.
'Syaoran sure has changed,' Sakura thought as she looked at the man next to her that used to be her rival for the Clow Cards. Sakura reached over, and began to run her fingers through his chocolate brown hair. Syaoran looked back down at Sakura a little surprised. 'Those eyes,' Sakura thought as she lazily played with his hair, 'I could never forget those eyes.'
Sakura moved a little closer to Syaoran, and so did he. They turned to face each other, and Syaoran reached out a hand to touch Sakura's cheek. "I'm so sorry, Sakura," Syaoran said in the most gentlest voice that Sakura ever heard. "I broke my promise to you," Syaoran said still staring deeply into the sea of emerald, getting lost, "I should have come back sooner."
"Everyday, every night, I thought about you Sakura, and only you," Syaoran noticed that Sakura moved closer to him again, and that now she was hugging him, and resting her head on his chest. "I kept thinking about the day that I could hold you in my arms again," Syaoran wrapped his arms tighter around Sakura.
"But, Syaoran-kun," Sakura said pulling her head up to look into his deep, brown eyes, "things have changed." Sakura broke her gaze and looked away.
Syaoran pulled her chin up so that she would have to look at him, "Eight years may have passed, but I know that my feelings for you could never change, Sakura," Syaoran lowered his head, and softly kissed Sakura on the lips.
To be continued...
