(Sorry about me getting mixed up with father and brother...though I fluently speek the language, i alwasy mix them two up...)
"I'll call you back once I can baby, I promise" said Syaoran Li just before hanging up the phone. "Syaoran" said Sakura Kinomoto, "Yes my little cherry blossom?" Replied Syaoran. "I just want you to know that I even though we have never met in person... Wo Ai Ni..." said Sakura, kind of shy, and quiet. "Wo Ai Ni!" Said Syaoran back in a comforting voice, which made Sakura melt. "Ja ne Baby" said Syaoran. "Ja ne" mumbled Sakura back.
Little did any of them know, this would be the last phone conversation they would have... for a long time.
18 days later
On a beautiful Sunday morning Sakura woke up as nervous as she had ever been in her 16-year-old life. 'Today is the day' she thought to herself breathing heavily as she sat up in her bed.
She sat there for a couple of minutes and pondered the thought of going through with it... and finally she decided it was the best thing for her to do.
She got out of bed and got into the shower. She washed her hair while singing along with the radio. Once out, she put on her bathrobe, and walked from the washroom to her closet. "What to wear, what to wear?" She said not completely to herself.
After going through her entire closet she found it... behind all of her other clothes. A red form fitting tank top, and a pair of light blue jeans with a flower design on both of the rear pockets. She decided this alone would be a little bit too revealing for mass, so she put in a black zipper-up hooded sweatshirt over it, and zippered it up half way.
She proceeded back to the wash room and did her hair. Cornrows leading into a bun in the back of her head. She brushed her teeth, and too sick to eat, she woke up her Otou-san.
No more than ten minutes later, they were off... to meet her love. Once she arrived at the chapel she kissed her Otuu-san, and he wished her luck. She walked alone down the crowded hallway, and made her way to the mass room.
Though it had been only eighteen days since she and Syaoran talked it seemed like an eternity to her because the whole time they knew each other they had not spent a single day without talking to one another.
There was just one thing that was a bit 'different' about their relationship... though they were in love, and dating, they had never met in person. Sakura only knew what Syaoran looked like from a picture, and he nothing about her appearance.
They had met through friends, her best friend Tomoyo Daidouji had been dating his friend Eriol Hirigazawa for a while before. Sakura sat down in the early mass at 8:30 a.m. barely being able to keep her self-awake.
She looked around, and did not see Syaoran anywhere. After mass, it was time for all the children to go to CCD. That was when she saw him... 'He is even more kawaii than in the picture!' she thought. Sakura being as nervous as she was, did not want to go up to him just yet, so she went to her CCD class, and promised herself she would talk to him afterward.
Once they got out, she slowly made her way up to him, she just about gave up, when Tomoyo came up behind her, and said "SYAORAN!" To make sure he could hear. He turned around, and Sakura, blushing turned the other way. He assumed he was hearing things, and kept walking to the commons area.
She followed him, and once he stopped she walked to him. He ignored her, and thought she was just walking until she took a deep breath, and said "Uh... Syaoran Li?" "Yea?" He said confused. "Syaoran, I am Sakura's cousin." She said. (She really wasn't but she didn't want him to know right away that it was her, she wanted to find a few things out first.)
He looked at her and said "Hello, and what might I be able to help you with?" She responded with, "If you wouldn't mind, I would like to just ask you a few questions..." He accepted, and she asked him several questions, among them was things like 'Do you love Sakura', and things of that sort. After he answered them all, he turned around, and didn't seem too interested; hot tears threatened to escape her eyes.
Sakura once again spotted Tomoyo, and ran to her. "Tomoyo, you have to help me!" She said sounding desperate. Tomoyo agreed, and they came up with a great plan!
Tomoyo walked up to Syaoran, and said "Fine, if you don't want to listen, we will just got home, and tell Sakura you don't care!" She said. He immediately turned around, and pleaded "NO! Please, just one more chance!?" "Fine" said Tomoyo, and Sakura walked up to him.
He once again turned around, and talked to Eriol. Sakura saw this, and her eyes once again, filled with tears. So Tomoyo once again went to him, and stated "This is stupid, if you really loved Sakura, you would at least listen to what her cousin had to say rather than just talking to Eriol!" She shot Eriol a mean look, ever since they broke up; they did not get along too well.
Syaoran shrugged his shoulders, and looked at her with his adorable green puppy eyes, and shook his head. Sakura finally couldn't help it; ad tears fell from her eyes.
Tomoyo put her head on ready to go out into the bitter January morning, and begun walking away. But just before she walked out of the commons area to the doors, she stopped dead in her tracks, Syaoran paid her no mind, until the words "Meet Sakura Kinomoto, your 'girlfriend'" came out of her mouth, and she left.
Syaoran froze in shock, and then after realizing what she said, he walked up to Sakura, and apologized. Sakura accepted, and they went to a private area of the church and talked. Soon after it was time for the second mass, and they went in together, but he had to sit with his family.
Sakura guessed that Yelen, Syaoran's okaa-san asked who it was, because a minute later she saw a pointed finger at her, and heard an all too familiar voice "Okaa-san, it is Sakura Kinomoto!" It was Syaoran's little brother, Keri.
She stood just across from them, by the doors of the mass room, and they paid no attention, but flirted the hole time. When the mass ended she walked up to him, and asked the most important question of them all.
"Syaoran, do you want me to keep coming here to see you, or do you just want to end it here? If you do, I will still be here every week, for mass, but will not bother to talk to you."
Syaoran took Sakura into his arms, and hugger her tight. "Sakura, I want to see you here every week, and I want you to know that I love you so very much, I wish I could explain it, but I can't express it in words. Everything will be okay! I Promise!" Syaoran caressed Sakura's chin, their lips met for a short second, and they said goodbye.
Sakura could not believe what had just happened. Even when she got in the car five minutes later, she still had that stupid; dumb struck smile on her face. And when her Otou-san asked what happened, all she could say was, "Otou-san, you can see I am still smiling!"
"I'll call you back once I can baby, I promise" said Syaoran Li just before hanging up the phone. "Syaoran" said Sakura Kinomoto, "Yes my little cherry blossom?" Replied Syaoran. "I just want you to know that I even though we have never met in person... Wo Ai Ni..." said Sakura, kind of shy, and quiet. "Wo Ai Ni!"
