-1I do not own card captors or its characters. I only own the plot of this story.
The seventeen year old boy, soon to be man, sat in the cool of the morning breeze; the water from the nearby waterfall could be heard as it reached the edge of the rocks and onto the ones underneath. He twirled in his hand the little pink cherry blossom flower around and around as he sat under the tree which he had plucked it off. As he gazed into its beauty and rareness, memories came flooding back to him as he thought of his last encounter with the girl Sakura whose name meant the pick flower,
Flashback
They were at the airport, were Syaroan and Melin's flight back to Hong Kong would leave in 10 minutes, Melin had already headed onto the plane telling Syaroan to hurry up, in case he missed it, Tomoyo as usual was in the background with her video camera fastened securely onto her hand recording the scene In front of her, the two twelve year olds stood there looking at one another, arms length apart,
"Sakura," Syaroan said softly to her as he took a step forward taking both of her hands in his, she blushed more than him at the sudden touch from the other, "There's something I've been meaning to give you," he spoke not looking at her but taking his right away from hers and putting it into his trousers pocket and taking out a small yet sharp object, his hand was tight in a fist as he held it, and then looked up into her eyes, "This is a promise ring," he sated, showing her for the first time, the gold band with the light pink gem. He saw her confused face and continued on "It means, that I promise, in a few years to give you an engagement ring," he slipped it onto her marriage finger and she smiled her beautiful smile.
"Flight 184, boarding to Hong Kong, last call" the announcement was made and they both heard.
He looked into her eyes, "I'm not sure when I'll return, I have to train for a few years before I can be the leader of the clan, but I promise, I'll be back for you, and then we can be together, promise me, promise me Sakura, that you'll wait for me, no matter how long I take." Their eyes were both watering, knowing it would be a while till they saw one another again.
"I promise, Syaroan, I'll wait, I promise,"
He pulled her into a hug and kissed the top of her head. "I love you," He whispered, loud enough for only her to hear.
And she replied in the same tone "I love you too"
They let go, knowing that they had to and he picked up his bag and ran quickly into the aeroplane that would take him home to Hong Kong.
End of Flashback
He remembered those green eyes, the green eyes that bore into every inch of his soul, the emerald orbs that belonged to his beloved, Sakura, who he had'nt seen in five years five long-
"Syaroan, where are you Syroan?" the black haired girl questioned to her cousin, as she walked the stone path way which leaded up to him, she hated seeing him like this, she knew that he was in love, with the auburn haired girl, Sakura Avalon, and that was part of the reason she had asked the elders years ago to break off their engagement, it had been successful, with but one set back, she remembered, "As the future leader of the Li clan he must marry before he finishes his off year age" The eldest elder spoke, in other words Syaroan must marry before his ninetieth birthday or they shall choose a wife for him. She still had to tell him of this news, for it had been yesterday after dinner she asked and wanted it to be a last minute surprise for him.
Melin spotted him, just were see thought he would be, under the cherry blossom tree out in the garden, where he thought about for awhile just before he went off to his training.
"Syaroan?" she asked again while she approached him, only this time it was to get his attention. "What are you thinking about?" She knew the answer to the question but asked all the same to start a conversation.
"Nothing much" he answered, all emotion drained from his voice, except what she thought was sadness and bordism.
"Oh come on, you can tell me,"
He sighed, "It's just, I miss her so much," He leaned back against the tree trunk as she sat down on her knees beside him.
"So would you like to hear the good news or the bad news?" She asked him in a cheery voice.
He looked back up at her, a puzzled look written all over his face, "Huh?" he questioned.
"So hurry up and pick one its not that hard!" she said almost as if she was rushing him.
!Ah bad," saying the first one which came into his head.
"The bad news is that we only have 3 hours until it leaves" She replied as a smirk started to slip onto her face.
"What are you- Good news is-"
Melin cut into his sentence and took a deep breath before telling him the rest of the news, as she prepared for the look of shock she would soon see on her cousins face and then she finished "That we're going to Japan!"
