Not The Same

-Author's Notes-

First, I don't own Cardcaptor Sakura or any anime ever.

Second, this is my very first fanfic, so I hope it isn't too bad.

Key:

-- is the sections. It also contains the chapter name.

Ex: -Chapter Fifty One * Confession-

"" is where characters say something.

Ex: "I got it!" Sakura said.

'' is where characters are thinking something.

Ex: 'He must be lying again,' Chiharu thought to herself.

And now the story begins.

-Chapter One * Remembering-

The airport wasn't very crowded, but the buzz of busy people hovered in the air. Among those people were a boy and a girl. The girl, Sakura, had a teddy bear in her arms. Sakura was glad that she was able to see the boy, Syaoran, that day. However, she was sad that Syaoran had to leave. His mother called him requesting that he come back to Hong Kong now that all of the Clow Cards have been captured and transformed into Sakura Cards.

"I'll miss you, Sakura" said Syaoran. His eyes were shining as if he may cry, but he was strong.

"But, do you really have to go?" said Sakura, frowning.

"Yes, I do. I'll be back someday!" said Syaoran.

"Promise?" said Sakura, smiling.

"I promise!" said Syaoran.

Sakura watched as Syaoran boarded the plane. Tears streamed down her cheeks, but she smiled. She knew that she would meet him again someday. She just had to. Sakura continued gazing out the window until the plane was engulfed in the clouds.

Sakura opened her eyes. She seemed to be on the floor .. no, it was too soft to be the floor. She lifted a sheet off of herself and sat up. She was in her bedroom, which must mean she was in bed.

"That dream," Sakura said to herself, "was the day Syaoran left Japan. The day he gave me the teddy bear." Ever since Syaoran left, Sakura would take the teddy bear with her almost everywhere she went.

Sakura looked off to the side and saw her clock. She was an hour late for school!

Sakura quickly put on her clothes and grabbed her bag. Before dashing out of the room, Sakura gently picked up the teddy bear from her table and took it with her. Then, Sakura dashed out of her room and fell down the stairs. She quickly recovered and went outside. She put on her roller blades super fast and skated towards the school.

Yukito and Touya already left for school, obviously. Why would they wait an hour just for Sakura to get up and get going? They wouldn't. Sakura started skating faster and faster. She went so fast that she ran into a cherry blossom tree!

"Itaaaai! What else can go wrong today?" Sakura said, spitting out cherry blossoms that landed in her mouth. After getting up, it seemed like something was missing. She looked at the ground carefully. Once she saw that she hadn't dropped anything, she continued skating towards the school, except slower.

When Sakura arrived at the school, it was closed. She looked around and saw nobody. The place seemed to be completely deserted. The only thing that could be heard was the wind.

"Hello? Is anyone here?" Sakura called out. There was no answer.

Just then, a boy came out from behind a tree and looked over at Sakura. Sakura couldn't really see who it was, but she was surprised to see him there.

"Oh, hi! Could you tell my why the school is closed? I woke up kind of late and I-" Sakura stopped herself. She looked at the boy carefully. His hair was a bit messy but was shiny and brown. His eyes were also brown, Hong Kong brown. Sakura recognized him instantly. He was the one person Sakura could never forget. "S-Syaoran?"

The boy gasped, as if he was surprised that he was seen. He ran off behind the school and disappeared. Sakura just stood there at the school gate, confused.

'Syaoran,' Sakura's thoughts were jumbled. 'It's Syaoran, but how? Why? What's going on and why did he run off?' Her thoughts were then interrupted by her stomach, which growled loudly. She was in such a hurry that she forgot to eat breakfast. She finally started on her way home.

When Sakura got home, she found her dad, Fujitaka, in the kitchen.

"Sakura! Where did you go?" Fujitaka said, worried.

"I went to school, but it was closed," Sakura said as she sat down at the kitchen table.

"It probably was! Who would go to school on Sunday?" Fujitaka said, laughing. Hearing that made Sakura nearly fall off her chair.

After Sakura finished eating, Sakura's older brother, Touya, came home.

"Touya! Where did you go?" Sakura said, pretending to be worried.

"I was studying with Yukito," Touya said.

"Today's Sunda-" Sakura said.

"I saw you going to school," Touya interrupted, "and you should've stayed there, even if it's Sunday. That way, I could invite Yukito over here to study without you causing a mess, kaijuu."

Sakura became furious and marched towards Touya. She just couldn't stand her brother teasing her so much just because he was bigger than her. She wished that one day she would be bigger than Touya and squash him like a bug with her foot. Then she sighed, knowing that it would never happen, and walked up to her room.

Kero was still asleep. Sakura changed her clothes and decided to go see Tomoyo, her cousin and very best friend. She would ask about Syaoran and tell her about how he showed up at school. She could tell Tomoyo about anything and she was always able to help her in some way.

Then, Sakura realized something. The bear Syaoran gave her had disappeared and was nowhere to be found.

I added things, just like I said I would, but it's still short. Oh, well.
