Chap. 3 Syaoran’s Worry
-----------------
Syaoran was distracted the whole time they were on their way to the market. He knew that he told himself that he’d pretend it never happened, but he just can’t help it. He had never done such a thing before.
He kept a foot’s sideway distance between him and the princess. He was too embarrassed to keep near her. He didn’t even glance sideways.
“Ah! Look, Syaoran-kun!” said Sakura.
Syaoran didn’t stop. He kept walking, saying, “It’s already late, Hime, we can’t stop.”
“But –“ Sakura didn’t continue her sentence. Syaoran kept walking. He assumed that Sakura was walking right behind him. How wrong he was.
Syaoran had walked a few yards when he decided to glance back, just one little glance, to check if Sakura was alright.
“Sakura-hime?” he said. She wasn’t there, and looking further down the road he saw that she was nowhere in sight. “Hime!” Worry flooded Syaoran and he hurried down the sidewalk. No Sakura in sight.
He started to panic. This was his fault. If he hadn’t acted so cold just because he was embarrassed, everything would have been alright and Sakura would be walking alongside him. ‘If something happens to Sakura,’ he thought, ‘I would never forgive myself.’
Burying that thought in his head he rushed off, scanning the street, the road, the shops, everywhere. But still, he couldn’t find her.
Losing all hope he dropped down to his knees dramatically. “SAKURA-HIME! WHY DOES IT HAVE TO BE YOU, OF ALL PEOPLE?!”
“Huh? What do you mean, Syaoran-kun?” said a voice.
Taken by surprise, Syaoran looked behind him, and upon seeing Sakura, he stood back up and engulfed her in a tight embrace.
“S – Syaoran-kun~?” Sakura dropped the shopping bag she was holding.
“Oh, Hime, why did you leave me, how could you have disappeared so suddenly?”
“I – I saw the bread that Fye-san took home the other day in that bakery over there, and I – just wanted to buy some more—“
“Yes, but why didn’t you tell me earlier?” Syaoran still hadn’t let go of her.
Sakura was blushing now. “Well – you didn’t want to waste any time so I decided to buy some real quick then catch up with you –“
“I’m sorry, my princess. It was my fault. But still, please, don’t worry me so much next time.”
Finally, he let go, and Sakura was quiet. Syaoran wasn’t normally like this… What’s happening to him?
