CHAPTER 4.
I�m not allowed to cry� That thought was stuck in my head, wedged in the cracks and folds in my brain. I wanted to get that one, silly rule out of my head. To forget it.
�How could I have been so cruel to her?� I whispered. �I made fun of her and yelled at her, but she still acts like she�s forgotten it. Sakura-Chan never was the brightest crayon in the box, but if I were her I�d remember what I did to her.�
I shook my head. She was always like that. So full of compassion and love. The girl literally glowed when I was around. Thank you, Syaoran! You didn�t teach your sisters how to say �Cute� in Japanese! Very good boy. Now they can�t turn into Chinese versions of Daidouji. I suddenly remembered hearing Sakura�s best friend as Sakura and I hugged each other goodbye on my way home. �KAWAII!!!!!� She yelled. I burst out laughing.
Knock, knock, knock. �Syaoran-Kun?� Sakura asked from outside my door. �Can I come in?�
I jumped up and ran to the door. I grabbed the handle, turned it, and pulled it open (all one motion.) �Sure, Sakura-Chan! What�s wrong?�
�I can�t sleep.� The angel confessed, sitting down on my bed. �I just got here, and I�m already homesick.�
�I know how you feel.� I told her. �It�s tough to leave your family like that. Especially if you love your family deeply. I know how much you care about your father and Touya. But I promise, if you ever start to feel homesick, come talk to me. I�m actually an expert on the subject.�
�You never seemed homesick in Tomoeda��
�I have a lot of self control. Plus, you know how solitary I used to be!�
�True.� Sakura giggled.
Sakura pulled herself completely onto my bed and lay down. �Syaoran-Kun, would you mind if I stayed here for awhile?�
I blushed. �No, stay as long as you want.�
�Do you have some sort of obsession with the color green?� Sakura asked, looking around my room. The walls, bed, closet, door� everything was green. Not exactly the same shade, but it was almost all green.
�Of course. It�s been his favorite color since he was 2 years old.� Feimei said, barging into the room.
�Feimei! Get out of here! I yelled, throwing a pillow at her. She smirked evilly and left the room.
Sakura got up and headed for the door.
�Where are you going?� I asked.
�To my room. I don�t want to cause you any trouble, Syaoran-Kun.� Sakura looked at me sincerely and smiled. �Good night.�
I smiled as she walked to the next-door over. �See you tomorrow.� I closed my door and flopped onto the bed. I was tired. I hadn�t noticed through all the day�s excitement. I switched off the lamp and fell asleep.
~*~*~*~*~ SYAORAN�S DREAM SEQUENCE ~*~*~*~*~
I saw her standing there. �Syaoran-Kun��
�What is it, Sakura-Chan?�
�Do you sense anything?�
�What do you mean?�
�You know. Like some sort of magical presence?�
�I always do. Sakura-Chan, my entire family has magical powers. Except for Meiling, that is��
�Syaoran-Kun no baka.� She hit my head softly, barely hard enough to ruffle my hair. �I mean a Dark one. One that isn�t supposed to be here.�
�Yeah. Yeah, I do.�
�What is it?�
�I don�t know.�
BAM!
�Syaoran-Kun!�
�Sakura-Chan! Where are you?!�
�HELP!!!!!!!�
�SAKURA!�
I was too late. The blast of black energy hit her dead on. Body parts belonging to the girl I love scattered all around me. �NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!� I fell to my knees and cried. I heard evil laughter behind me.
�Heh, heh, heh. Say goodbye to your precious little Card Mistress.�
�You killed her.� I turned around and faced her killer. His face was hidden by a dark cloak. �You�ll pay for what you did to Sakura!� I pulled out my sword and charged at him. He dodged easily, almost as if he knew what I was going to do.
�Isn�t being able to read minds fun? Wait, why am I asking you this? You�re too weak for your powers to allow you to read minds! Face it, Xiao Lang, you�re weak.�
�Take that back, you son of a bitch.�
�It�s true, isn�t it? You were able to do nothing to protect the Card Mistress. You are weak, Li Xiao Lang. Get over yourself and face reality.�
I charged at the murderer once more, only to have him disappear just before I reached him.
I glanced over at the corpse of my true love. Her skin was pale and her lips, once so full and pink, were blue and thin. �I wasn�t able to help her. To save her. I am weak��

Wow. Okay, I know. That was SHORT! I don�t know what was up with the dream sequence. It just kinda came out. I� not sure if I�m going to make this a premonition or just a nightmare. It�ll be interesting to find out. We got a new computer, so I haven�t been able to write for the past few days because we didn�t hook this one up where our old old computer was until last night. I know, I�m babbling again. (It�s a problem I have.) Anyway, please review and wait patiently for the next chapter of my fic. I have a lot to do, but I�m busy memorizing my new CCS movie. Not to mention I have killer writers block a lot. ^_^. Li-Chan signing out. Ja ne!
