Chapter 5: Reasoning

Tauki starred at the building in front of him. He heaved a sigh before proceeding inside. He wracked his brain in hopes of formulating the right words. The ride up the elevator seemed to last years. He walked up to the door labeled "417" and mustered all his courage. He lifted his shaking hand to knock on the door. Toc toc toc. Tauki's felt his throat loose all moisture as he tried to swallow.

"Just a sec!" he heard a familiar feminine voice answer followed by quiet footsteps signaling she was close.

He took another deep breath as a weak attempt to calm his rattled nerves as he was reminded of the gravity of the situation.

Sakura was watching television when she heard a sharp knock on her door. She paused for a second, wondering who would be at her door. She walked towards the entrance of her apartment and gasped as she saw who it was.

"Tauki!" exclaimed a startled Sakura. Her expression quickly morphed into an accusatory one. "What are you doing here?" she demanded.

"I- I just wanted a chance to explain myself. I just need 10 minutes. 10 minutes. I swear!'

Sakura slowly reached out to close the door saying, "I don't think that's such a good idea. We rally have nothing to discuss."

Tauki, not wanting to give up just like that, blocked the closing door just in time with his foot. He winced in agony as he felt the pain shoot through his leg. "Please Sakura, I'm begging you! Can't you just hear me out? Are you really willing to throw our relationship away?"

"Tauki, I don't know if you've noticed but it wasn't me who fooled around with another woman right before our anniversary! And besides, I don't need an explanation. I saw everything. Crystal clear. Nothing you saw or do will change what happened."

Tauki noticed their conversation was coming to a close, so he did the only thing that popped into his mind. He pushed the door wide open and forced himself in. He turned around and faced a very mad Sakura.

"What do you think you're doing?! Do you want me to be uncivil? What is wrong with you? Get out! Now!"

Tauki felt a sense of panic and began rambling all the words that came to his mind. "I didn't mean for any of it to happen! I just- just got caught in the moment. She- she's my secretary and one time she came in the office and I- I just- it just happened. I swear! She came on to me. What was I supposed to do?! Please you have to believe me! I love you Sakura. I don't want you to give up on us."

"I have to believe you? Well, that's rich! Are you hearing yourself? You have absolutely NO right telling me what I should believe! And just so we have everything clear, if you really wanted to patch things up, how come you just showed up now? Its been days since your moment happened! Do you really expect me to think that was the first time you've done something like that? Remember this Tauki, I didn't give up on us, you did. The second you started sleeping around you shattered everything we built together. You broke my heart. I don't need someone like you in my life. I've moved on. I finally realized that you were only holding me back."

Sakura then proceeded to pushing Tauki out of the apartment. "Goodbye Tauki. I've told you before and I'm telling you again, Its over."

She shut the door behind her and took a seat on her couch. She breathed a sigh of relief as she felt a somewhat freeing feeling. It was as though she had gotten rid of the weight around her shoulders.

She stood up from where she was and walked towards the kitchen. She opened the fridge and looked inside. She quizzically put a finger to her lips and searched for anything she could cook with, deciding that tonight was definitely worth a home cooked meal.

After spending a good 5 minutes staring at milk cartons and empty take out containers, Sakura gave up on looking for anything edible inside her refrigerator and came up with the conclusion that she would have to order in. Again. Not being hungry, she decided dinner could wait.

"Ahh!~" Sakura cried as she jumped at the sudden ringing of her phone. She starred at it for a second before cautiously reaching out to answer it.

"Hello?"

"Sa-ku-ra. Guess who?" came a sensual voice from the other line. Sakura smiled as she remembered the man who said her name in such an indescribable manner.

"Syaoran? Is that you?"

"Why kura, who else would it be? Don't tell me you were waiting for another mans call?" Syaoran replied jokingly.

Chuckling softly Sakura said, "No.. I just wasn't sure who you were."

"Why, Sakura. I'm surprised you forgot all about me. It was just a few days ago, you know.' Syaoran said trying to sound disappointed.

"Ha ha ha! Come on Syaoran, stop it. Did you want something?" Sakura asked, with laughter etched on her face.

"Oh.. I was just wondering if you, by any chance, had time to have dinner with little ol' me today. Seeing as though tonight is the only free time I have this week. And I really don't want to wait until next week. So.. Are you free? I know this really great place. I'm sure we can get a table." Syaoran felt slightly nervous as he waited for her reply.

"Is that so?" Sakura answered with a happy tone to her voice. "well, since you asked so nicely and I happen to have no plans except for ordering in again for the millionth time, I guess we could go."

"Hmm.. Are you saying Miss Sakura, that you are only going out with me because you don't want to eat take out? Aww.. I'm a little hurt. I think I'm gonna have to pick you up in about an hour to give you another reason to spent time with me."

Ha! Okay. You can pick me up in an hour." Sakura couldn't help but smile at the conversation at hand. "What kind of restaurant are we going to? Do I have to dress up?"

"I'm sure ou would look good in anything you wear. But just in case, you can wear anything semi-formal. Haha!"

"Okay. I'll see you in an hour." Sakura chuckled feeling giddy, awaiting the night ahead.

"Bye Syaoran."

"Bye Sa-ku-ra. I can't wait."
