A/N:

Foxtails: Wai! Lots of reviews and all good! ^^ I love you people! And I'm proud to say Pink Cherry blossom, I have not been the source of any bad comments.

Yuriko: I'm surprised you got any reviews at all.

Foxtails: * nerve twitching, purposely ignoring Yuriko * Anyways The Dark Shadow Mystress really outdone herself. I'm not even gonna try counting the amount of 'UPDATES' she typed.

Yuriko: * snorts *

Foxtails: * pulls lever and drops Yuriko into a trap door * that should silence her for this chapter.

Thankies for all the reviews!

Where Love Blooms- A Cherry Blossom's Memories

Sakura sighed as the last bell rang. Finally I can go, I still have to check in on Tomoyo and Eriol. Sakura took a quick glance over to Syaoran as she packed her bag. He had his back facing towards her. Syaoran had made it clear that day, school and training did not mix and had pointedly ignored her all day. Then again Syaoran had his own problems, like Eriol, Syaoran seemed to have an uncanny ability to attract girls even when he was trying to be discreet. However while Eriol took it all in his stride and brushed the girls off, Syaoran got frustrated. (A/N: No offence to girls, hell I am one, but who wouldn't flock to gorgeous guys like Eriol and Syaoran? ^^)

Speaking of which…Sakura watched torn between amusement and jealousy as three girls flocked Syaoran who was looking ready to decapitate them. Seeing that this could get nasty Sakura picked up her bag and hastily made her way out the classroom. She hadn't even managed to close the door before it was wrenched open again and Syaoran stormed out.

Unready for this Sakura slipped and fell unceremoniously onto the floor. Syaoran turned around looking as apologetic as his cold mask would allow him to.

"Gomen nasai, [1]" He said extending a hand to help her up.

"It's ok." Sakura said as she took hold of his hand.

Electricity shot up both their spines, and both blushed.

"Um, I have to go, ja[2]!" Syaoran said, struggling not to stutter as he reluctantly let go of Sakura's hand.

"Aa [3], ja ne.[4]" Sakura said walking down the corridor smiling faintly jealousy gone, replaced by a small sense of triumph, leaving three jealous girls behind.

Meanwhile at Eriol's mansion, Tomoyo was questioning our sorcerer,

"Will Sakura's memories be this hard to unlock?" Tomoyo asked glancing over the pale, tired form of Eriol, dabbing his forehead every so often with a wet cloth resulting in a lot of blushing from both parties.

"Hopefully not, it depends how closed off she is, but she's a lot more open than Syaoran so it should be easier. Maybe she'll remember without my help."

Tomoyo merely nodded.

"Why don't you ask Hoilong to unlock her memories?"

"Good point." Eriol replied looking into a corner of the room.

He smirked as he saw Hoilong's spirit slip out.

"In fact I think he's already onto it."

Tomoyo followed Eriol's line of vision and gasped.

"You mean he was here all the time?"

"No just now." he replied.

Sakura walked towards Eriol's mansion silently glancing at the ground. Wonder if Eriol is ill or something, shame he wasn't in school, and Tomoyo left our apartment this morning and didn't appear in school. Sakura gasped as she felt an unfamiliar aura approach her. I wasn't very strong but she could sense it nonetheless which was worrying as any normal person would only give off a tiny, nearly un-noticeable one. She turned and glanced down the empty street.

"Who's there?" she called.

Suddenly Sakura felt a mental pull. It was dragging her mind into another dimension.

"No!" was the last thing she screamed before her vision was engulfed in a blinding white light.

~~~ Flashback ~~~

Sakura strolled down the streets of Tomeda with her two friends Hoilong and Tomoyo, as they reached a crossroad they stopped,

"Have you heard there's a storm heading to Tomeda?" asked Hoilong.

"Yeah, it's gonna be heavy." Said Tomoyo

"You sure you can get home before it hits? You live the furthest away Hoilong." Asked Sakura.

"Yeah, sure, I can run. Ja ne [5]!" said Hoilong as he ran down the left crossroad.

"Bye Sakura, I'll see you tomorrow!" said Tomoyo heading down the right crossroad.

"Ok, see you Tomoyo!" Replied Sakura heading straight for the centre crossroad.

Later that evening…

"Moshi moshi [6]?" said Sakura as she picked up the phone.

"Sakura?" asked Tomoyo sounding distraught and in tears.

"Hai [7], what is it Tomoyo?" replied Sakura, concerned.

"It- it's Hoilong!" gushed Tomoyo.

"What about Tomoyo?" asked Sakura now very worried.

"H- he- he's dead, he was caught in the storm and had an accident-" Tomoyo didn't get any

farther than that as Sakura dropped the phone with a thump on the carpet.

~~~ End Flashback ~~~

Sakura gasped and shot up tears running down her face. She immediately met the worried eyes of Tomoyo.

"Sakura! You're awake!" She said hugging her friend.

Meanwhile Eriol stood quietly in the background smirking to himself, you did a great job of awakening old memories Hoilong.

"Huh? How did I get here?" Sakura asked glancing around one of the many guestrooms in Eriol's mansion.

"Syaoran found you passed out on the street and since he didn't know where you lived he brought you here." Replied Eriol.

"Oh," answered Sakura blushing, "so where is he now? I have to thank him."

"He left after about an hour."

"An hour!?" shouted Sakura, "How long have I been out?"

"You've been out for three days Sakura." Replied Tomoyo.

Three days, thought Sakura, I only dreamed of about 3 hours…

"Let's go home Sakura. It's Saturday tomorrow so we don't need to worry about school."

"Oh, ok." replied Sakura.

Syaoran scowled, he hated to admit it but he was worried about about the emerald eyed card mistress. She's fine, she's a card mistress and she was only knocked out…but what if she's injured and you didn't noticed, maybe her condition worsened. No! Argh! Giving up he stalked over to the phone and dialled Eriol's number.

"Hello?" replied Eriol's voice on the other line in perfect English.

"It's me Eriol."

"Ah, my cute little descendant." Eriol smirked switching to chinese which suited Syaoran more, he loved this game too much.

Syaoran growled.

"How is Sakura?"

"If you're so worried ask her yourself." Eriol replied huffily.

Syaoran bit down on his lip to avoid doing something he might regret, like yelling obscenities down the phone. Something which totally went against his cold demeanour and strict code of respect for everyone, even if it was Eriol.

"I don't know her phone number." He ground out through clenched teeth. Don't loose your temper, don't loose your temp- since when has yelling forsaken things at Eriol down the phone look so tempting?

Eriol smirked evilly, and rattled off Sakura's number along with her address, birthday, favourite flowers, favourite chocolates, time of her period…

"Will that be all my cute little descendant?"

"…" Syaoran frowned at the other end of the phone, I only asked for her number.

"Syaoran? Xiaolang?"

Syaoran smirked, with an evil grin that would make Eriol proud and slammed the phone down. If he couldn't yell at Eriol down the phone, the least he could do was hang up on the sorcerer. To hell with respect to everyone, if I can't yell at Eriol, hanging up on him comes in a close second. With the sadistic part of his mind satisfied for the day, Syaoran picked up his jacket and headed for the door.

"I'd better check on that girl, maybe then I'll be able to sleep, or at least stop thinking of her." Syaoran said to himself.

With that thought he picked up his keys and walked out the door.
