Chapter five: I'll Miss You

 

+

 

Weeks had passed and they were back home relaxing at the café. Eriol and Sakura had gotten extremely close and were practically inserperable.

 

But as days rolled by, Sakura wondered what was going to happen… she'd have to go home to Japan soon… very soon.

 

+

 

Sakura laid her head on Eriol's chest as they both stared at the blue sky from Eriol's garden.

 

“Eriol… what's going to happen… with us I mean.”

 

Eriol looked at her, “I don't know…”

 

Sakura sighed, “you know I have to go home, Otou-san needs me.”

 

Eriol played with Sakura hair, “I understand. Don't worry about it… let's just make this worth while ok?”

 

Sakura smiled and cuddled closer.

 

Ruby Moon watched them from the balcony, “They look so happy!” she squealed as she grabbed her camera taking pictures.

 

+

 

More days passed, and eventually, there were only two days left until Sakura left.

 

Sami had planned the days already. Today, they were all going to hang out while Ruby Moon decorated Eriol's mansion for Sakura's surprise farewell party.

 

Tomorrow, Sakura and Eriol would spend the whole day together.

 

The gang was currently at the mall by the picture booths.

 

“Argh! You know they should make these things bigger!” cried Nikki.

 

Sami laughed as the six of them tried to fit in once booth.

 

Four flashes went.

 

They all got out of the booth and waited 3 minutes for the pictures to come.

 

When they did they all laughed, in one picture, the girls had pushed down the boys hogging the space, while in the next it was the opposite. Then the other two were the 6 of them trying to cram into one picture.

 

As they continued to take more pictures, just as Sami paid her share, she, Nikki, Tom and Mark quickly got out only leaving Eriol and Sakura.

 

Four flashes went.

 

Eriol came out followed by Sakura who pouted at her friends, “Why did you leave?” she asked as they waited for the pictures.

 

Mark chuckled with a shrug.

 

When the pictures came Sami and Nikki grabbed them first, “Aww!” she squealed together.

 

In the first picture, Sakura and Eriol were shocked as they friends left, the second picture they smiled, and in the third they both stuck out their tongues, and in the last picture Eriol had gotten Sakura off guard as he kissed her.

 

Sakura snatched the pictures away and kept them.

 

They all laughed as they all took turns with Sakura in the booth so she could have some memories.

 

+

 

Sakura sighed, Eriol had called her and asked her to come over because he had something important to talk about, and it was something that he couldn't say over the phone.

 

Sakura looked up at the night sky wishing to the stars that he wasn't going to break up with her.

 

She rang the doorbell and waited for a reply but the large doors simply opened, and she walked into the pitch-black room.

 

“Eriol?” she called out.

 

The doors behind her shut causing Sakura to jump a bit.

 

She tried to summon up light so she could see but Eriol's magic seemed to be blocking it.

 

Suddenly a floating cherry blossom that glowed appeared in front of Sakura, and then several more appeared as though telling her to follow the trail they left.

 

Sakura gently took the floating flowers when she came close enough and she suddenly stopped at a door.

 

Opening the door expecting to see Eriol, she just saw more darkness, `Where is he?' she wondered as she felt around for the switch.

 

And just as she turned the lights one, all her friends popped out of their hiding spots yelling, “SURPRISE!”

 

Sakura jumped back, “Hoe!”

 

Sakura looked around and noticed all her friends there, grinning like maniacs, and a large banner above them, `Farewell and Take care Sakura!' it said.

 

Sakura smiled, “Thank you!” she cried as they all huddled in for a group hug.

 

As they joked around, ate supper, played games, and even decided to do karaoke, eventually the gifts were given to Sakura also.

 

Soon enough, the party had come to an end, and everyone decided to leave but Sakura.

 

Using her magic, she had gotten her clothes for that night and for the next day, and she got her toothbrush too.

 

Sakura was dressed in a large black t-shirt, and white shorts under.

 

She and Eriol were cuddled up on the balcony in Eriol's room as they looked at the stars.

 

Sakura yawned and she put her head on Eriol's shoulder.

 

Eriol chuckled, “I think it's bedtime for a little flower.”

 

Sakura giggled with a cute pout, “But I don't wanna be alone… those scary closet monster could get me.”

 

She rushed before Eriol could catch her and jumped into Eriol's bed.

 

Eriol chuckled as he slipped in next to her.

 

“No funny business now mister.” Sakura said with a grin.

 

“You trust me?” Eriol asked slyly with a smirk and leaned on top of her.

 

Sakura reached up and pulled Eriol down giving him a kiss before whispering, “with my life.”

 

Eriol smiled as they cuddled together and let sleep take them over.

The next morning Sakura woke up to sound of the door opening, she sat up and noticed Eriol coming in with a tray of food for two.

 

He grinned at her as he sat next to her and they ate breakfast together.

 

“So how was it?” he asked.

 

“Delicious.” Sakura said before she chewed the last piece of her pancake.

 

Once she was done and the tray was set aside they lay in bed a little longer before Eriol smirked slyly.

 

“Eriol…” began Sakura, “Why are you smirking like that?”

 

Eriol just grinned, “Oh… nothing… I just remembered… something.”

 

Sakura was unconvinced, but hey, she couldn't do anything about her boyfriends, playful, yet mysterious side now could she?

 

“Well, I'll go get changed and bush my teeth and fix my hair.” She giggled, and just as she got up Eriol grabbed hold of her and pulled her back down and sat on top of her.

 

“Eriol?” Sakura squeaked.

 

“You're not going anywhere.” He said.

 

“Eriol, Eriol what are you doing?”

 

Eriol smirked, “Torture.”

 

Sakura paled as she saw his hands went to her sides and tickling her senseless.

 

Sakura laughed as she struggled to get him off of her, but he was just too strong for her.

 

“Eriol! Stop! Stop! Stop-” she continued to laugh, “It!”

 

Using her magic was out of the question since Eriol had thought of that before had and over powered her.

 

Most of the morning was spent on torturing, and by the time that was done, it was already almost lunch.

 

Sakura panted catching her breath while Eriol chuckled, “I think that's enough for today?” he asked.

 

Sakura nodded, “Yeah, I think my abs got stronger from all that laughing!”

 

Eriol chuckled as he helped her up.

The afternoon went by quickly as the two lovebirds spent the day in many places and as Supper time rolled around, Eriol was getting dressed in a black dress shirt and black pants while Sakura who was in the other room was getting changed into a Dress Nakuru picked out for her since Sakura… was unaware of this formal supper Eriol planned.

 

Sakura blushed as she stepped in front of the mirror, the dress was black with bead sequences towards the bottom of the dress in green to match her eyes and the dress seemed to just hug her form perfectly showing off every curve in her body. The straps were thin, and the cut was low but not too low in a shape of a V. the Dress ended at the knees in a flow like a river, and she had black heels to match.

 

Her hair stayed down and her make up was simple with just lip gloss, mascara and a light touch of eyeliner.

 

With a smile she walked out of the room and down the stairs to see that Eriol was waiting for her.

 

When he looked up his eyes widened slightly and he smirked up at her. He put his hand out for her as she came down the steps and she gladly accepted it.

 

“You look Beautiful as always.” He said.

 

“Thank you.” Sakura replied, “You're handsome yourself as always.” She grinned.

 

Eriol led her to the car and opened the door for her and let her in, after he closed the door, and made his way to the driver's side and stepped in and started the car.

 

“So… where are we going?” Sakura asked.

 

Eriol smirked, “That… you'll just have to wait to find out.”

 

Sakura pouted slightly before giggling.

 

In a matter of minutes they were there and Sakura gasped, “You didn't.”

 

“I did.”

 

Sakura whirled around to face him, “Why do you always spend so much! It makes me feel bad that I can't do the same to you.”

 

Eriol just smiled, “You're love is just enough to pay… now come on… we have our reservation to get to.”

 

They linked arms and went inside the large fancy restaurant.

 

Once they got their table they both ordered food and waited.

 

Over supper, the two talked about the old days with the cards and Syaoran and such.

 

“Do you remember that time we went to the ski resort?” Sakura asked.

 

Eriol chuckled, “I clearly remember that.”

 

“You and Tomoyo-chan were so good at skiing.” Sakura pouted, “I still loose my balance from time to time.”

“You just need a bit more practice… we should go sometime…”

 

Sakura nodded, “Maybe I'll come over here during the winter break?”

 

Eriol simply smiled, “Remember on the first night there, when I told that story?” he asked.

 

Sakura nodded, “Yeah… to think back on it… it still freaks me out…”

 

Eriol chuckled.

 

Suddenly Sakura's eyes widened.

 

“What's wrong?” Eriol asked worriedly.

 

Sakura shook her head, “I just remembered… that night, you found out that I was scared of scary stories and such… and then I asked you what you didn't like… what made you scared or sad… you said it was a secret.”

 

Eriol smiled as he took a sip of his drink.

 

“Can you tell me now?” she asked.

 

Eriol placed his glass down, “well… what made me sad was me having to put you through those tasks when we were younger and seeing you sad… and to that very day, what scares me the most is not to be there to comfort you, to protect you, not knowing if you're hurt some where and knowing that if you did get hurt… I could've done something.”

 

Sakura smiled at Eriol as he came up to her and kneeled in front of her.

 

Sakura suddenly noticed that Eriol was getting something from his pocket, a medium sized velvet box.

 

He opened it and inside was a silver chain with a heart shaped locket. Then in between the necklace was a simple diamond ring.

 

Sakura looked up at him.

 

Eriol took the ring out, “A Promise ring… we'll wait for each other…”

 

Sakura's emerald eyes clouded with tears as she nodded and let him put the ring on her left hand and on her ring finger.

 

“I'll wait… always and forever.” She replied.

 

They shared a short sweet kiss before Eriol put the locket on her. Engraved on the back of the heart was Forever and Always. One. Inside was a picture of them from the beach at Eriol's Summerhouse.

 

Supper soon ended and they went back to Eriol's house and they changed into their nightwear. Sakura was giving the dress back to Nakuru.

 

“No, no, no! it's yours Sakura-chan! Master Eriol and I bought it for you.” She said.

 

Sakura blushed and thanked her and went to Eriol and thanked him too.

 

“It's no problem.” He said.

 

They both turned in for the night and Eriol had fallen asleep, but Sakura couldn't help but dread for tomorrow. She didn't want to leave, she wanted to be here, with him and to be happy.

 

Letting sleep take over Sakura unconsciously cuddled closer to Eriol since this may be the last in a long time she could be with Eriol like this.

The next morning Eriol had driven Sakura to the café where she packed her bags quickly and looked at the time, she frowned. Half an hour before she leaves.

 

“Don't worry about it Sakura…” Eriol said.

 

Sakura looked up at him and hugged him tightly, “I don't want to leave you guys… especially you.”

 

Eriol kissed her forehead, and comforted her, “Don't worry about it, I'll be with you in you're heart.”

 

The café doors opened and Sakura looked up, “The Café is closed for the day…” she said and her eyes widened.

 

“Sakura…”

 

Eriol frowned at the person.

 

Soon after Syaoran entered, so did his wife.

 

“What are you doing here?” asked Eriol.

 

“I wanted to apologize…” Syaoran replied glaring slightly at Eriol noticing how close they were.

 

“You're forgiven.” Sakura said quickly wanting Syaoran to leave.

 

Syaoran was shocked, “So easily?”

 

Sakura nodded.

 

Soon Sami came down with a large pink book and stopped in mid step noticing Syaoran.

 

“I'm sorry… but the café is closed for today, and I think you're business here is done… we have other important matters to get to right now.” Samantha said.

 

Syaoran didn't move, he just looked at Sakura wondering why she had forgiven him so easily.

 

Sakura sighed, “Syaoran.” She began, “You've moved on, and there's nothing I can do about that. I've known already that my dream to be with you would be far from coming true… but it's ok… and besides… I already gotten over it.” She explained.

 

Soon, Tom, Mark and Nikki came down wondering what was taking everyone to come upstairs.

 

“What is he doing here?” asked Mark.

 

“Moved on?” asked Syaoran.

 

Sakura gave a slight glare, “Of course! I want happiness too.”

 

Syaoran's eyes caught the glitter of Sakura's ring.

 

Sensing an aura within it, his eyes darted to Eriol.

 

“I see. I hope you're happy Sakura… and that we'll still be friends.”

 

Sakura gave a small smile and nodded.

 

With that, Syaoran gave a quick hug to Sakura and said good bye and left.

 

After a few minutes Sakura looked at the time and the small smile on her face quickly turned into a frown.

 

The dreaded moment had come, she her flight was in a few hours and with all the check points you had to go through before Sakura decided to go earlier.

 

Why had Sakura decided not to use Magic to get home? Well, it was mostly Eriol's concern knowing she wasn't emotionally capable of transporting herself at the moment, and he didn't want to risk anything.

 

On the way to the airport, they all sat in silence not knowing what to say, or what to do and once they had arrived in their destination they still waited in a dreaded silence for Sakura's Flight to be called.

 

“Sakura?” asked Sami.

 

Sakura looked up with sad green eyes.

 

Sami handed her the pink book, “We want you to have it, but you can't open it until you arrive home…”

 

Eriol chuckled slightly, “If you've figured out how you open it in the first place.”

 

Sakura smiled as she thanked them and looked at the book, “What is it?” she asked.

 

Tom and Mark grinned while Nikki shook her head, “Sorry, but you'll have to figure it out.”

 

After that, the mood had slightly lightened, as they talked more, tears here and there, and exchanging hugs.

 

“Flight 237 to Japan is beginning to board, passengers in the Business Class please make you're way to the check out Gate. I repeat, Flight 237 to Japan is beginning to board, passengers in the Business Class please make you're way to the check out Gate.” Came a call throughout the airport.

 

Sakura sighed tears already falling.

 

Hugging every single one of her friends she bid good bye and she gave one last look at Eriol before they share a passionate kiss and a tight embrace.

 

“To open the book, just use you're heart.” He whispered in her ear before he gave her one last kiss.

 

“I love you.” He said.

 

“I love you too.” She replied, her heart breaking, knowing she wouldn't be able to see him for a long time.

 

“I love you all!” she cried to her friends before she boarded the plane.
