Quote of the.... errr.... prologue:
"When I was born I was so surprised I didn't talk for a year and a half."
Gracie Allen (1906 - 1964)

Disclaimer: I wish I may, I wish I might, but CCS are mine, for only this night.
Well, sorta true. I nabbed them so I could watch them blush at each other... SO KAWAII!

Syaoran: Did you have too much sugar in your tea today, Feit?
Feit: Hoe?
Syaoran: Yup... too much sugar in the tea.

--Prologue--

Syaoran sat on the bench outside Sakura's home. The wind toussled his unruly hair and the
sun glinted in his eyes. The warm summer air rested itself upon his shoulders, and the
tension he felt was rising. Sakura had left from a party she was at almost an hour ago. She
should have been home a while back. Syaoran unconsiously began to bounce his leg up and
down. His patience, however much he had, had begun to wear thin. He wanted to see Sakura's
glowing emerald eyes that reflected everything, from how she felt to how the earth beneath
her feet felt. He wanted to hear her laughter, that sounded like the softest of silverbells
ringing. He wanted to smell the flowery scent that hung about her like mist on a spring
morning. He wanted to be with her, just so he could be priviledged to know that someday, she
would care for him like he did her. So he could save his sanity for just one more day.

His eyes traced the branches of the cherry blossom tree that grew on the other side of the
sidewalk, and rested upon a bird not far from him. He hoped, for some strange reason, that
the bird would hop closer to him. Perhaps it would give him courage to face his feelings.
Maybe he just wanted to inspect the bird's delicate feathers in closer detail. But for
whatever reason, it was not to be. The bird fluttered into the nearest branch, it's plumage
being blurred by the rays of the sun mixing delicately with the soft pale pink petals.

The loud sound of a car door banging shut startled Syaoran. He had not noticed the car
pulling into the driveway. But he did notice the girl that had slammed the door. Her body
curled as she ran, as if she had taken a blow to the stomach. Tears marked the ground where
she had run. Her feet slapped the concrete, and the owner tried to dodge Syaoran. He was to
fast, however, and caught Sakura in his arms. She leaned against him, giving up all her
strength as she cried into his shoulder, forcing him to hold her up.

Touya stood there by the car, watching the two. His eyes met amber as Syaoran's worried,
almost frightened, and questioning gaze reached him. Touya still did not speak. He had no
words to say. He couldn't find it in his heart to be mad at Syaoran for caring, and holding
Sakura. He couldn't even find it in his heart to call him a brat. Although it pained him
somewhat to know that Sakura found comfort in this boy, and not in her own brother. Touya
had tried to comfort her, but she leaned away from him and into the door beside her. She had
sobbed quietly with her head resting upon the window. Tears had fallen as she ignored the
dull pain the bumps had caused her skull. All she could feel was the pain of witnessing such
a scene. Touya hung his head, and walked past the two and into the house. Quietly shutting
the door behind him, he leaned against it, and met his father's questioning glance.
Thankfully, though, he didn't demand an answer.

Syaoran's heart raced. What could have made such a happy person, someone with so much
laughter in them that sadness had a hard time to show itself, sad? Instictively, he
tightened his grip on her as her knees gave out. Lifting her, he sat her sob-wracking form
on the bench, and sat down beside her. Sakura buried her face in his shoulder, and he
wrapped his arms around her protectively. He was scared about what could have happened, but
he waited until her sobs calmed down. However much his heart cherished this chance to hold
her, it was not the time to dwell on it.
