Here's the next chapter of An Unfinished Task. I'm not sure just how good
this chapter is because it's rather introspective so although it may make
sense to me it won't nessessarily make sense to everyone else. Please write
me and tell me what you think.

Author's Rambling: Well here is the next chapter of this story. It is rather
introspective towards Sakura's thoughts and feelings. Not much happens in
this chapter (as if anything happened in the previous chapters either ~_~;)
but it gives you Sakura's perspective on things. I might get the next
chapter out soon, but don't count on it. I have four exams this week that I
have to cram for with each counting somewhere between 10-25% of my grade.
Translation Notes: Not many this time.
Imouto - younger sister.
Gaki - brat
Otou-san - father
*****************************
Sakura stared sadly out of the window at the starry night sky. Whenever she
felt sad or lonely she always looked to the stars for comfort. As she stared
at them looking for comfort the stars felt her loneliness and sent out their
light to wrap around the young woman that held their power. Ever since
Syaoran-kun left she had always felt like a part of her was missing. Sakura
had never ever regretted anything before in her life before she met Syaoran,
but now she had one regret in her life. She regretted that she had never
told him that she loved him.
She had realized her feelings for him too late. When she finally realized
she loved him she ran to the airport just to see the plane carrying the boy
she loved away from her. As she watched the plane take off she felt her
heart break and she slipped to the floor into a small heap and cried her
first ever tears of heartbreak. After she didn't come out for a while Touya
finally came into the airport looking for her to find her sobbing softly.
Without a word he picked her up and carried her home. Once Sakura was placed
in her bed she just curled up into a ball to cry. Kero-chan had tried to
comfort her, asking her what was wrong. All she could do though was hug his
stuffed animal body to her taking comfort in his presence. Kero-chan just
quietly submitted himself to her crushing hug, not complaining, and not
asking any questions.
Later that night, her father had entered her room asking her what was wrong.
At first she hadn't wanted to talk about it, but finally she poured her
heart out to her father. Fujitaka just held his sobbing daughter trying to
comfort her in her heartbreak the only way he knew how. Once her tears were
spent he dried her tears laid her down onto her bed. Gently stroking her
hair he then told her of how it had felt to lose his wife, Sakura's mother,
Nadeshiko. Sakura listened to him not uttering a word, but everything that
he said comforted her because she knew that there was someone she could talk
to that would understand what it felt like to lose someone you love that
much. She forced a grateful smile onto her lips and thanked him softly.
Although the smile was forced it helped to make her feel better along with
comforting her father.
Fujitaka left the room then to find an anxious Touya standing in the hall
waiting to find out what was wrong with his beloved imouto. He could guess
that Sakura's emotional state was somehow related to the Chinese gaki, but
he didn't know how though he swore that if that Chinese gaki had hurt his
sister in anyway he would fly all the way to Hong Kong to kick the brat's
butt. "So what happened that caused Sakura to cry so much?" He asked his
father his face contorted with worry.
"Sakura-san has just lost someone that she loved. I believe his name was
Li-san." Touya's eyes narrowed at the mention of the gaki's name and a vein
popped out on his forehead. "She didn't get to the airport in time and the
plane left before she could tell Li-san that she loved him." Another vein
appeared on Touya's forehead at the news that his sister truly was in love
with the brat though he had suspected that for a long time now. "I think she
'll be okay, but she just needs time to recover from a broken heart. Right
now it's best just to leave her alone." Touya nodded his head in
understanding and left for his room to call Yukito to tell him about what
happened at to get his help in getting his sister back to her cheerful self.
In her room, Sakura could faintly hear her otou-san and onii-chan talking
quietly about her, but she didn't mind. Tired from all her crying, she
started to drift off to sleep as she felt a cool breeze stir around her like
a hand gently stroking her cheek and hair. Just on the brink of sleep,
Sakura heard a gentle female voice telling her, "Because it's Sakura,
everything will be alright. He'll come back for you one day."
Sakura smiled in her sleep as hope, that indeed someday Syaoran-kun would
return and she could finally tell him that she loved him, filled her heart.
Nadeshiko smiled as she softly kissed her daughter's forehead. "Don't worry,
one day you will get the chance to tell him. I promise you that, my dear
Sakura-chan."
As time passed Sakura slowly became her cheerful self once more. She no
longer felt like crying whenever she though of Syaoran-kun, but she could
never really forget him like her brother and Kero-chan had tried telling her
to do. Although as the time passed by Sakura became more and more like her
old self as time healed her broken heart she also started losing hope that
one day Syaoran-kun would return. She had tried dating several guys but it
just never felt right. All the guys were really nice but none of them were
able to give her the feeling of warmth, security, and completeness that
Syaoran-kun had been able to give her.
Sakura wondered now whether Syaoran still loved her or if her even still
remembered her. Sadly she thought that he probably didn't. He was probably
seriously engaged to Meiling now and probably didn't even think of her
anymore. If he still had cared for her then he should have returned by now.
Eight years had passed and she hadn't heard a single word from him. But then
she reflected, maybe he hadn't returned because he thought that she didn't
care about him. If that was the case then she seriously regretted not having
told him that she loved him too when he had told her his feelings.
If she had then maybe he would still be here with her and she wouldn't have
this feeling of loneliness and incompleteness. True she had her friends and
family but sometimes being with them and seeing them made her lonelier
because she had no one. Tomoyo-chan had been a lot of help but eventually
even Tomoyo-chan had found a boyfriend later on in high school. Touya had
Yukito-san. Her father had her mother now that he had half of Eriol's power
and could see her. Rika-chan and Terada-sensei had gotten married soon after
Sakura and her friends had graduated. Chiharu-chan and Yamazaki-kun were now
engaged. She was happy for her friends and family, but she also felt so
envious of them.
For some strange reason tonight although Sakura still felt the loneliness,
it didn't feel so bad anymore. It started to feel like a part of her was
being returned to her and she no longer felt sad or depressed when she
thought of Syaoran-kun, but happy and hopeful even. She wondered what her
change in mood meant, but decided not to think about it more. What was
important was that she felt truly happy and complete again. She turned
around as she heard Tomoyo entering their dorm room after returning from her
date. Sakura gave Tomoyo a warm smile and beckoned her to be quiet as Sakura
gestured towards a sleeping Kero-chan. Tomoyo nodded and the two best
friends prepared themselves for bed.
*****************************
Outside a shadowy figure stared at the beautiful figure standing at the
window staring wistfully at the stars. He reflected how beautiful she looked
bathed in moonlight and surrounded by her soft pink aura. An aura that held
immense power that he swore one day he would take for himself. "One day I
will have you and your delicious power, my sweet cheery blossom. And no one
will stop me. You will belong to me," he said as he smiled to himself and
walked away after she moved away from his sight.
