Chapter 1: The Memories and the News of the Trip
Outside it was raining, so Sakura was sitting at home and decided to listen to the radio when a particular song came on. . .
Rainy Day
Rainy Day
Rainy Day
Man
When I think about the first time (the first time)
I thought I found someone who cared for me
But things were not as they appeared to be
~*~Flashback~*~
A girl with auburn hair and glistening green eyes was walking to a restaurant to meet her boyfriend, Shang Agumi, there. They had been going out for months and she loved him dearly. She walked inside looking around for him looking forward to their date. And for once she was early. But something caught her eye: Her so-called BOYFRIEND was making out with the school slut, Rin Oshugi, who always throws herself at guys. Especially taken guys.
"HOW COULD YOU SHANG?! I LOVED YOU!!" She stormed out crying while running home. Everyone had tried to cheer her up but no avail. They all knew only one person cheer her up, but he had already moved back to Hong Kong. . .

Rainy Day Man
On your shoulder I cried
~*~Flashback~*~ (I didn't see this part, so I'm sorry if I got it wrong!)
Sakura is at Yukito's house sitting on his couch nervously while he was getting them some tea. She had gone over to tell him something.
"Sakura? Are you ok?"
"Yea, I'm fine. Yuki? I need to tell you something." He sat himself on the couch next to her.
"Ok. Shoot." He said and sipped his tea.
"I. . .I lo-lo. . ." Sakura trailed off. 'I never thought this was going to be so hard. . . I hope he feels the same way. . .might as well do it the blunt way. . .' She blurted out "I LOVE YOU!" and took a deep breathe from all the tension. First Yukito had a confusing face, then a guilty one. Sakura instantly knew the answer from his face. 'He doesn't have the same feelings. . .Boy, do I feel stupid. . .'
"I'm so sorry Sakura. . .I only love you like a brother would. . .I'm so sorry. . ."
"I-I u-under- *sniff* s-stand. Bye Yuki. . .I-I have t-to get g-going. . ." She ran out the door going wherever her feet took her: Which happened to be the park. Also where Syaoran happened to be. . .
~*~Syao's POV~*~
I was sitting on the swing at the park thinking about her. . .Sakura. . .my only love. . .but then I heard someone running and sniffs. I turned to look, and it was HER! But, she was crying. It pained my heart so much to see her cry so I walked over to try to cheer her up. I will beat up the person who ever did this to her!
"Sakura?"
"Y-yes?"
"What happened?"
"I-I just c-confessed m-my feelings f-for Yuki a-and h-he doesn't f-feel the s-same way. . ."
'Ok. . .maybe I won't beat up the person who did this to her. . .unless it was someone else. . .' he thought. He stood up and pulled her closer to him, to let Sakura cry on his shoulder while rubbing her back and saying soothing words in her ear. 'I wish we could stay like this forever. . .I wish I could tell her. . .if only I wasn't such a coward. . .'
'I can't believe I was such a BAKA!!!
[stupid, fool, etc.] BAKA BAKA BAKA!!! Ugh. . .I can't deal with this right now. . .I just want to go home and cry my eyes out until I fall alseep. . .then maybe, just maybe, I can get over my feelings for Yuki. . .But the thing is, how come I feel so much safer in Syaoran's arms if I love Yuki. . .? I feel sleepy. . .' Sakura closed her eyes droopily and fell into a deep slumber. Syaoran smiled.'She is MOST definitely, an angel. . .An angel that I fell in love with. . .' He carried her back home in his arms. . .
~*~End Of Flashback and End Of Syao's POV~*~
When my first brush with love
Left me shaking inside
~*~Flashback~*~
Today was one of the saddest days in her life. Today is the day Syaoran is leaving to go back to Hong Kong. Syaoran was saying good bye to everyone before he left, and one person was left: Sakura. His soulmate. He didn't tell her his feelings yet.
"Syaoran-kun?" He felt heat coming to his cheeks.
"Y-yes?"
"I need to tell you something. . .A-aish-shiteru [I love you: Jap.] Syao-kun. . ." She looked down at the nicely carpeted floor which had become predictably interesting. Syaoran was shocked. He thought she would never love him back like the way he loved her. When he didn't answer back Sakura felt sad again. 'He doesn't love me back. . .I'm a BAKA. . .AGAIN! Kami-sama [God] why? WHY? WHY? WHY?'
Syaoran heard sniffing from Sakura. He smiled. 'I know how to cheer her up. . .' He used his index finger to lift up her face to look at his, but frowned at her face. Her eyes were red and puffy with tears streaming down her face silently. He closed his eyes while Sakura was doing the same leaned in closer and closer. It was sweet kiss at first, then a passionate one from both of them pouring all of their emotions into that one gesture of love. Sakura's arms were around his neck and his hands on her waist. (Touya: GET YOUR HANDS OFF MY SISTER!!!!) Both of them felt warm and tingly with jolts of electricity flowing in their veins, but were interrupted when the PA system announced "Flight 713 (Syao's Bday: 7/13 ^_^) from Japan to Hong Kong on Tomoeda Airlines is now boarding." Both gazed at each other longingly with their hands intertwined. "Sakura?" he asked.
"Yes?"
"Wo ai ne [I love you: Chinese] Sakura. Don't forget that ok? Please promise me you'll remember and wait for me?"
"I promise. Aishiteru My Little Wolf." The PA announced again "Flight 713 from Japan to Hong Kong on Tomoeda Airlines is boarding. This is the last call." Their hands were slowly parting while he was walking away.
"I love you! Don't forget the promise!" He yelled before he boarded. Her hand was still in the air for a while before putting it down. 'I promise I won't forget. I promise. Aishiteru. . .aishiteru. . .' She smiled. 'I did it. I finally told him/her.' Both thought while watching their loves turn into specks.

Rainy Day
Man
Ever since I can remember (remember)
Just like a brother you've been strong and true
Always been the one to see me through
~*~Flashback~*~(Heeheehee! I got this part from my other fic. Well based on it.)
It's nighttime with Sakura walking past an alley. She had just gone grocery shopping for her dad to cook dinner. Syaoran just happened to be walking when he felt her aura. 'Strange. . .why would she be out at night by herself? I better watch over her just in case.' So he follows her aura to find her. He jumps from tree to tree stealthily making sure not to make a noise. What he saw next enraged him. Some gangsters clamped her mouth and dragged her into an alley. He immediately jumped off the tree and ran into the alley she was dragged into. What he saw next made him even MORE enraged. The leader's lips were centimeters from hers with her crying while pinned against the wall struggling to break free. Syaoran ran up to the guy lightning fast and kicked him in the nuts REALLY hard. He doubled over curled up on his side on the ground crying. While this was happening, she had closed her eyes expecting her first kiss to become the worst possible, but instead, her savior was carrying her away.
"Syaoran-kun? Is that you?"
"Yes Sakura-chan. . .It's me."
"Oh no! I forgot! I was getting the groceries for dad when I was attacked."
"Ok. I'll take you there so I can protect you from anything else." He started to blush at what slipped out.
"Really?"
"Really." Syaoran smiled his only-for-Sakura-smile.
"Thanks so much Syaoran. I don't know what I would do without you." The customers saw a happy-go-lucky girl bouncing in with a tomato red faced boy. 'What a kawaii couple.' or 'They are so KAWAII!' some people thought. They had bought the ingredients and Syaoran walked her home vowing to protect her if his name wasn't Li Syaoran. . .

When the song was over, Sakura didn't even notice that Tomoyo had dropped by. 'She was thinking abut him again. . .' "Sakura? Earth to Sakura!" That didn't work though. She was still in her Syaoran daze. At least that's what Tomoyo calls it. Tomoyo took a deep breathe and screamed "SAKURA!!!!!!" in a high pitch. That certainly worked because Sakura jumped about 5 feet in the air. (I guess that's a benefit for a singer eh? ^_^)
"TOMOYO!!!! WHAT DID YOU DO THAT FOR?!"
"Well I wouldn't have to if you would stop daydreaming, or at least wake up when someone is calling you."
"Oh. . .Sorry Tomoyo." She grinned sheepishly. "So why are you here?"
"I came to tell you something."
"Which is. . .?"
"WE ARE GOING TO HONG KONG!!!! NOW YOU CAN SEE LI-KUN AGAIN AND I CAN GET ALL THE KAWAII S+S MOMENTS ON TAPE!!!!!!!" Tomoyo had one of her "starry-eyed" moments visualizing how they would meet. At first Sakura sweat dropped at what her best friend/cousin said, and then the information finally reached her brain.
"REALLY???????? ARE YOU SURE??????"
"YES!!!!!! My mom's going there for a business trip. So are you coming?"
"Come on! Let's go ask my dad!" *turns off radio* The two girls bounded down the stairs trying to find Sakura's dad. Since they couldn't find him, they decided to ask Touya. (He's 7 years older. Thanks for telling me Ashcats! So he's 26 years old.)
"What was all the yelling and screaming about? Well, maybe I should expect that from a kaijuu." [Monster] He smirked.
"I-AM-NOT-A-KAIJUU!!!!!!!" She stomped his foot REALLY hard and also kicked him in the shin. (OUCH!!!) "And where's dad oh dear DEAR onii-chan?" [Brother] She asked a little TOO sweetly while batting her eyelashes.
'ITAI!!!!!!!
[Ouch] THAT HURTS!!!!! I have to dodge quicker next time. . .She's growing up. . .BUT NOT IF I CAN HELP IT!!!!' *frowns inwardly* "He's at the school getting some papers and will be back in around 10 minutes. Why?""Oh. . .nothing." She smiled that I'm-so-innocent-smile.
"Sure. . .Well gotta go KAIJUU, I'm meeting Yuki at the music store! And make sure you don't burn the house down! I'll be back for dinner!" He yelled while running so he doesn't get 2 broken feet and shins. (It's 1 pm.)
"ONII-CHAN!!!! How come he always calls me that?" *anime sigh* "I'm already grown up!"
"Oh Sakura-chan! He only says it to hide his love for you. You know that right?"
"Yea. . .But still. . .I wish he would express it differently. . ." *door opens* "DAD!!!!"
Fugitaka closes and locks the door. "Yes?"
"Can I got to Hong Kong with Tomoyo? Please?" *puppy face*
"Of course you can. But how long is the trip and when will you leave?"
"It's for a month and we are leaving in two days Kinomoto-san." Tomoyo states.
"Oh Tomoyo. . .you can call me dad too. After all, it feels like it to me." *grins*
"Ok Dad!" The two girls hug him tightly and start to pack Sakura's stuff. Tomoyo is already done since she knew about it.
~*~Sakura's Room~*~
Clothes are thrown all over the room with Sakura's suitcase on the bed with all of her necessities. Tomoyo and Sakura are wondering what she should wear for Syaoran rather than what to pack. They had been choosing for 2 HOURS! (It's 3pm now.) Sakura sat on her bed and sighed.
"Tomoyo? Do you think he even remembers me?"
"Of course he does. He treasures you more than his life."
"But still. . .I have a feeling in the pit of my stomach that something is wrong. . ." Sakura had no idea how right she was. . .
~*~To Be Continued~*~
