The Price of Love – Prologue
"Goodbye," he said doing his best to hold back tears. He had only known these people for the three years he had spent capturing cards with his green-eyed goddess Sakura, but knew that they were the best friends he had ever had.
There was Zachary and Chelsea, Rita and Nikki, Sakura's best friend Madison, he was even going to miss Eriol (A/N: I know I'm using the English names but I refuse to call him Eli) and of course Sakura. His earth angel, he was going to miss her more than anyone else, her smile, her laugh and especially her beautiful emerald eyes.
"Sakura, can you walk with me to the gate?" he asked. For once nobody made any undesired comments or kissing noises, not even Eriol. They all understood that he needed to talk to her, privately.
He decided he was going to tell her what he had wanted to tell her since the final judgement. Something he felt since the first time he saw her. He loved her.
"Sure," she replied none the wiser.
He looked into her eyes and took a deep breath. "Sakura I love you," he said straight from his heart. She was the one thing that could make his decision final; whatever she said now would dictate his choice.
He had expected a lot of things, anger, rejection, hatred, but not this. This . . . stunned silence. It was worse than any of the above.
He kissed her cheek and sighed. "I'll be back someday. I promise," he said. Then he turned away and walked through the gate.
'Call him back. Chase after him. Yell that you love him,' screamed a voice in Sakura's head.
Her body felt so heavy and week as if she didn't have any strength in her at all. She took a step forward and whispered in the strongest voice she could muster "Syaoran, I love you." Then she turned and ran from the airport her eyes filling with tears. Her friends quickly ran off to find her.
"I love you too; Sakura."
"Sakura, I thought I'd find you here," Madison said as she walked to the large Sakura tree where they usually hung out. "What's wrong?"
"Why am I so scared?" Sakura sobbed.
"It's alright to be afraid Sakura," Madison said sitting next to her friend. "Everyone is afraid of something, you just can't let fear control you."
"He's gone," Sakura cried into her best friend's shoulder.
"He'll come back Sakura," Madison said soothingly. "He loves you. Life will seem too long without you in it."
"He told me how he felt and I just stood there," she sobbed. "I didn't say a word. When I finally got the courage he was long gone. He's gone and he'll never know how I feel."
"He will," Madison said stroking Sakura's back. "I bet he already does."
"Hey dad," Sakura said as she walked through the door that night.
"Where've you been princess?" he asked.
"Just talking wit Madison," she replied.
"A pane crashed today on a trip from Redington airport," the news announcer said. "Flight GX247 was on its way to Hong Kong when . . ."
Sakura ran up to her room, her vision blurred by newly shed tears.
"Sweet heart, what's wrong?" her dad asked coming into her room.
"Syaoran," was all she could manage.
"Sakura I know he's gone, but he'll come back someday," he said comfortingly thinking that the crash had just reminded her that he was gone.
Sakura shook her head. "He won't came back. The plane on TV," she sobbed. "Syaoran's dead," she cried

Wasn't that sad? That was only the prologue, the next part should be better and a little less depressing. Only a little though, she thinks she's lost the love of her life so it has to be somewhat sad. Don't worry, Syaoran will come back somehow, I can't just let him die without Sakura telling him she loves him. Please review and don't be afraid to say what you really think, I'll just make sure that my little sister isn't around when I read them.
