Introduction
Six years ago, Sakura Kinomoto became the "Clow Card Mistress". After she met a mysterious boy named Eriol Hiiragizawa (who was the reincarnation of Clow Reed). He challenged her to convert all the cards into new cards to spare the world from experiencing darkness. Fortunately, she succeeded in converting the cards into Sakura cards with the help of Syaoran Li (a direct descendant of Clow Reed) who later on confessed his feelings for her. Before he could leave for Hong Kong, Sakura had managed to catch up with him before his flight and tells him what she truly feels. They then sealed their promise with the teddy bear that Syaoran had made for Sakura alone.
He then fulfills his vow to her by coming over to Japan once a year. She, on the other hand, fulfills her promise by faithfully waiting for him. But when will they be able to stay by each other's side?
I
Her Letter
JAPAN
"Aaarrrggghhh!" Sakura expressed in an annoyed voice while burying her face to her hands.
"Sakura-chan? What is wrong with you again? Tell me… Do you miss him that much already? Huh… huh…." Tomoyo asked teasingly while capturing one of Sakura's precious cute moments (according to her). For a moment, Sakura stiffened and looked at her best friend. "Tomoyo-chan, why do you always tease me like that?..." sighing a little she continued in a teasing tone "besides, you always experience this feeling every time Eriol-kun is away…" Tomoyo, after hearing the rest of Sakura's statement blushed furiously at the mention of her boyfriend's name.
Sakura burst into laughter and managed to receive a deathly glare from Tomoyo after the words "GOT YA'!" escaped her mouth. Upon noticing the glares that she was receiving from the other, she immediately stopped, faced her desk and began writing again.
What will I tell Syaoran this time? Sakura thought as she glanced at the blank stationary in front of her. She realized how much he had missed him after Tomoyo had bluntly blurted out the truth at her. Okay fine, I'll be blunt this time and I'll tell him how much I missed him.
After gaining motivation, she immediately started scribbling words at the blank stationary and began filling it with words that are not usual for her. The letter goes on like this:
December 18, 2003
Dear *Syaoran,
Hey, how are you? Have you been busy lately, just like the old times? Have you been eating your daily meals three times a day? Or are you skipping meals lately… AGAIN? Oh, Syaoran, just make sure you don't exhaust yourself too much and don't let yourself skip meals or else I won't bother being violent next time you come here. Understood?
Oh, anyways, I just want to tell you that I will be celebrating Christmas with Tomoyo-chan and Eriol-kun this time. We will also invite Chiharu-chan, Rika-chan, Naoko-chan, and Takashi-kun and we are going to spend the Christmas at Tomoyo's mansion. Don't worry… I'll send some pictures for you and Meiling-chan. Oh, Syaoran, say hi to Meiling-chan for me, ne? Ne? Ne? Arigatou Syaoran…
Ah, Syaoran, I forgot to mention this in my previous letter… Did you know? Or maybe happen to know that Eriol-kun and Tomoyo-chan are already dating? Haha… funny isn't it… Imagine them together... I really never imagined that Eriol-kun would be asking Tomoyo-chan out on a date. And to mention that my best friend is just so shy and so glued to her cameras and video cameras… I really can't imagine them together. But, maybe, you'll never know. But even though it is so hard to believe that the two of them are together now, I am so happy for them since they found themselves happy together. Ah, I think I'm becoming a news reporter now. Aha. Gomenasai my letter is so informal.
Ah… Syaoran, my brother also wants to say hi to you. I think my brother really misses you a lot even if he does not mention it. I believe that he misses the glaring contest between you two. So this is all I want to tell you for now.
I have nothing else to say or report.
I MISS you so much… Have a nice holiday with your family greet them for me ne? Even Meiling-chan.
P.S. Say hi to Yelan-san for me, even your sisters. Touya, said greet them for him.
Sakura
"Hey! What is that! Why did you include that part about me and Eriol? " Tomoyo exclaimed while turning very red. When she recovered Sakura started to giggle but was interrupted by Tomoyo. "What kind of letter is that? I didn't know that you can write that kind of letter Sakura-chan. It is so unlike you." Suddenly Sakura's cheeks turned into crimson-red when a sudden realization hit her. Oh my gosh! How did she know that I wrote something about her and Eriol-kun! She immediately grabbed the stationary that contains the letter and wrapped it around her arms protectively and more red hues started to climb her cheeks. She READ the letter! Sakura you are so STUPID! Sakura mentally slapped herself for being so stupid. Tomoyo then laughed out loud, that even the whole word can hear her. "Tomoyo-chan! Y-Y-Y- You read the letter!" Sakura exclaimed. Tomoyo's laugh began to get louder and louder. "Oh my gosh Sakura-chan! You are so cute!" Tomoyo managed to say between her laughs. Sakura responded with her totally embarrassed look this time filled with red hues. Sakura then saw that Tomoyo had been filming the whole scene. NO WAY! Sakura held the letter tighter, went to lie on the bed and hid her face on her pillow. Sakura-chan, just admit it. You're in-love with him. Don't worry Sakura-chan. I'll make sure that you'll look as stunning as usual. Tomoyo thought while a wide smile spread on her beautiful face.
HONG KONG
It was a sunny morning with the coldness of winter. A certain boy at the age of sixteen was looking at the garden from his window. His hair was messier than usual. While looking out at the window, his thoughts drifted to a beautiful short auburn-haired girl with a pair of glossy emerald eyes. He was then interrupted from his trance when an old man knocked on his door.
"Come in." He said. His butler then came in with a smile.
"Good morning master Syaoran." Syaoran looked up at him. Wei, the butler, gave him an envelope that contains a letter. Upon seeing who the sender is Syaoran excitedly grabbed the envelope from him. Before opening the letter, he decided to go to the garden.
He reached a bench under his favorite tree which is the biggest among all the trees in their garden. He sat down and began opening the letter. Unknown to him was the four pair of eyes looking at him intently as he opened the letter. Slowly, while he was reading the letter, his sisters crept to his side without him noticing. They began to read the letter as well.

Dear Syaoran,
Hey, how are you? Have you been busy lately, just like the old times? Have you been eating your daily meals three times a day? Or are you skipping meals lately… AGAIN? Oh, Syaoran, just make sure you don't exhaust yourself too much and don't let yourself skip meals or else I won't bother being violent next time you come here. Understood?
Oh, anyways, I just want to tell you that I will be celebrating Christmas with Tomoyo-chan and Eriol-kun this time.

I MISS you so much… Have a nice holiday with your family greet them for me ne? Even Meiling-chan.
P.S. Say hi to Yelan-san for me, even your sisters. Touya, said greet them for him.
Sakura
His eyes stopped at the words towards the end of the letter. His heart started to beat furiously as he re-read those simple words.
"I MISS you so much…"
He began to smile as his cheeks started to turn into red. He was then interrupted by the giggles of the four girls behind him.
"Oh...How cute! Our little Syaoran is madly in love..." Shiefa said while giggling with her sisters.
"Look at his smile! this is really rare right? Oh, it's so cute to know that a simple letter could make our Syaoran smile." Fuutie said emphasizing the last word.
"I haven't seen him blush like this until now." Feimei exclaimed.
"And lastly, I didn't know that his heart would be beating furiously because of a letter that says I miss you!" Fanran added and the four girls began to giggle in excitement when they saw the clear surprised expression of their only brother.
"ADMIT IT little brother YOU ARE IN LOVE!" They all squealed.
Syaoran turned redder and redder with the words thrown at him. "HEY!" was all that came out of his mouth.
Author's Note:
oh. hi guys. :) Sorry, this is my first time ever writing a fan fiction. I never tried posting any of my works since I'm a little shy... but now i tried to boost my self confidence and decided to post one. Since this is my first time writing a fan fiction, please give comments and suggestions on how i can improve my writing skills... Sorry if the story would not match any of your liking. Another thing, Sorry if this chapter is a bit short. I'll try harder to create a longer chapter. I hope you understand me. This is only an introduction for the characters anyway..
THANK YOU! :)
P.S. SORRY about the grammar.
*Syaoran- Note that Sakura made use of the first name of Syaoran without honorifics on her letter, which means they have become closer than before.
