Prologue:
Ring ring ring
"Hello this is Sakura" A cheerful voice answered the phone.
"Sakura this is me Meilin" her voice sounded as if she had been crying.
"What's wrong Meilin?" Sakura asked worried.
"Sa-Sakura... Sya-Syaoran... Syaoran...oh I can't say it..." Meilin's voice was hopeless.
"What about Syaoran Meilin?" Sakura demanded. "What happened to him!"
"He-he had a-an accident!"
"What? How? Is his condition critical? Answer me Meilin!"
"He was horse riding when suddenly the horse got berserk and he fell down."
"Is he fine?" Sakura asked anxiously..
"He's fine the doctor said he'll just need a rest"
"Thank God" Sakura sighed. "There was nothing to worry after all. Don't scare me like that Meilin"
"... Sakura when Syaoran fell down he lost his memory..."
"..." There was a pause
"he will recover will he?"
"Yes the doctor said so, infact he is already recovering." Meilin's voice was still sad. "Sakura... the doctor also said the there is 99 percent he'll never recover the memory... the memory which he will not be able to remember within 24 hours."
"And?" Sakura asked slowly dreading what Meilin would say.
"It's already the 24th hour and... and..." Meilin faltered.
"He doesn't remember me" Sakura finished her voice was void of emotions.
"Yes... he doesn't remember Japan either" Meilin sobbed. "I'm so sorry Sakura—"
Beep beep beep
Sakura placed the receiver down not even bothering to let Meilin finish.
Her Syaoran... her beloved Syaoran... he'll never remember her and the memories they had together he'll never remember the love they had... he'll never remember...
Chapter1: Meeting Again
3 years later
"Syaoran!" A shrill voice called.
"What is it Meilin!" Syaoran sighed. A chestnut brown haired youth turned around to meet the ruby gaze of a raven black haired girl.
"Why are your things packed?" She frowned.
"I'm going to Japan"
"Oh..." Meilin said slowly. There was something in her eyes that Syaoran just couldn't recognize. "Why?" She asked her voice was low. "Mother said I'll take my college degree there." He answered. "Is that all?" Meilin asked. "Why, should there be anything else?" He asked. 'Yes' "No" Meilin answered.
"Well then I still have to help mother with something see you later" he said walking away. 'Maybe you'll find your missing piece to complete yourself there' Meilin watched her cousin disappear to another corridor.
The Hong Kong airport was full of people saying goodbye to their loved ones. Among this was the Li Family. "Goodbye Syaoran!" Meilin said. "Take good care of yourself." A beautiful woman with long black hair said. "I will mother" "Good luck little brother" Syaoran's sisters laughed as he reddened. He hated being called little brother. He wasn't little anymore he was eighteen for crying out loud! "Go now Syaoran" His mother said. Syaoran nodded. He walked towards the plane.
He looked out of the window. The plane hasn't taken off yet but it will soon. The attendant's voice could be heard telling them to fasten their seatbelts. Syaoran sighed as he fastened his seatbelt. He slumped on his seat. "Why must I go to Japan?" He muttered.
Just then a girl came running. She stopped to where Syaoran was sitting. She stared at him for a while. Syaoran frowned. She probably realized what she was doing for she reddened and finally took away her gaze from his face. She sat right beside him and fastened her seatbelt. 'What a weird girl' Syaoran thought.
She was actually pretty with short auburn locks and emerald eyes.
Sakura was so shocked! She was just hoping for a glimpse of him after all those years and was about to go home disappointed and here he was sitting right beside her! 'Why is life such a torture?' She thought. She gripped her seatbelt. That was the only thing she could do to stopfrom throwing herself to Syaoran. He doesn't really recognize me... Well Kinomoto let's do this...
She suddenly looked up and turned to him. "I'm sorry for staring at you a while ago." She smiled sheepishly. Syaoran just nodded and looked out to the window.
He looked at the puffy clouds they looked so... so... "Comfortable aren't they" Syaoran heard his seatmate. He turned around to see her misty green eyes. "Sometimes I just wanna stay out there and escape from the world... away from life's cruelties... But then life isn't like that, is it? True courage after all means facing life's reality and not wishing the thorns will just disappear..."
Syaoran stared at her she realized this and blushed. "Gomen I just bubble on sometimes" She sighed. "No actually you're words are very meaningful" Syaoran said. She just gave him a sad smile. 'There's more to this girl' He thought. 'She had been hurt that was evident in her emerald eyes' "By the way my name is Kinomoto, Sakura" She extended her hand to him which was almost trembling.
"Li, Syaoran" He said shaking her hand. "So why are you going to Japan anyway?" Sakura asked. "I'm taking my college degree there." He answered. "Ah I see..." "How about you?" Syaoran asked. "I live there. Actually I was just having a vacation in Hong Kong... nice place" She had that sad smile again.
Her eyes were dominated with longing. Syaoran did not pry her about it. He did not want to stick his nose where it's not wanted. Sakura heaved a sigh and slouched on her seat. "Li-san?" "Hmm?" Syaoran looked at her.
"Do you... do you believe love can conquer all that even forgetting won't erase it?" Sakura asked looking him in the eye. Syaoran was silent for a moment. "Why do you ask?" Syaoran asked unable to answer Sakura's question. "No reason at all..." Sakura lied. "Forget I asked" She said looking away. But not fast enough to hide the hurt and troubled look in her eyes.
"Do you?" Syaoran asked. "Do I what?" Sakura turned to him. "Believe that love conquers all." "Once... But I'm not so sure anymore" Sakura answered softly. A tear trickled down her cheek without her noticing.
Without thinking Syaoran wiped it off with his thumb. Sakura's eyes widened. She blushed furiously. She immediately turned away and muttered an apology. "Why are you apologizing?" Syaoran asked. But Sakura only smiled that sad smile again. Syaoran felt a pang in his chest. It's as if he want to wipe that sad smile off and replace it with a cheery one. Why? He didn't know. 'I must be going crazy' Syaoran thought. 'Why is she affecting me so? Damn! I already have a girlfriend!' He frowned.
By some arrangements Syaoran's green sports car was already waiting for him at the airport. "I'll be going then. It was a pleasure meeting you Li-san." Sakura said. "Hey maybe I can give you a ride" Syaoran offered. "That is nice of you but my friend is fetching me" Sakura smiled. Syaoran didn't understand why he felt relieved when her smile wasn't the sad one. "Well see you around" Syaoran said before getting into his sports car. "Yeah... see you around" Sakura answered.
She sat down on one of the benches. "Sakura!" Someone shouted. Sakura turned with a ready smile on her face only to find out that it wasn't her the person was calling but another girl named Sakura eating an ice cream! Sakura sweatdroppped and reddened furiously. 'How embarrassing!' She thought. She bowed down her head hiding the embarrassment on her face. 'That's what you get trying to hide the hurt from your friend!' She scolded herself. 'Why are there so many Sakuras anyway!'
A.N. I usually have the same problem. Why can't my name be more unique eh?
Suddenly someone covered her eyes. "Get off Tomoyo!" Sakura laughed. "So how was your trip?" Tomoyo sat down next to Sakura. "It was fine!" Sakura said trying to hide the hurt with a fake smile. But Tomoyo knew her too well. "What's wrong?" She asked firmly. Sakura sighed. "I met him" Sakura said. "In Hong Kong?" "No... I met him in the plane. We were seatmates." Sakura paused waiting for Tomoyo to say something. When she didn't Sakura continued. "He didn't recognize me... I was a complete stranger to him..." "No" Tomoyo looked like she would cry. "How terrible must it hurt you" She said softly. "Demo I'm happy we were seatmates... at least I had a second chance to be one of his acquaintances" Sakura smiled sadly. "Eventhough I know it's not the same and never will be but at least I'm not a total stranger anymore."
"So Sakura are you sure you're gonna be fine?" Tomoyo asked. "Yep! Don't worry" Sakura answered with a smile. "Ok so I'll leave you to rest. See ya!" Tomoyo said as she waved good-bye. Sakura waved at the front steps of her house as Tomoyo's car zoomed out of sight.
She sighed and was about to go inside when she noticed something. A car was parking outside the empty house next to hers. It looked familiar. Where had she seen that before? Ah Syaoran's car was like that 'exactly' like that. Come to think of it he's car was also green. What if... Nah! That's too impossible... right?
Sakura heaved a sigh and decided to get inside her house when suddenly the front door of the house next to her opened and walah! Out came Li Syaoran. Sakura stood there transfixed. He was wearing a green polo and khaki pants. He looked so handsome so...
"Hey!" He smiled when he noticed her. Sakura's pulse quickened. Her voice was caught in her throat. She did not trust herself to speak. She just nodded. "So we're neighbors huh?"
"Y-yeah" Sakura stammered. The irony of it all, this was how they first met. She should have known he'd stay at their old house. I guess he really has forgotten all about me... "Umm... going out?" Sakura asked her eyes trailed from his head down to his shoes.
Oh God he looked so handsome! "Yeah I'm meeting my girlfriend" He answered. Sakura felt like her heart was pierced by a knife. "Oh..." Smile you fool or he'll think something's wrong! Sakura forced a smile. "So she's here in Japan?" "Yeah" he smiled fondly.
Sakura felt the knife twist. She winced. "Are you alright" Syaoran asked. "Just having a jet lag" Sakura lied. "Just take a nap" He said. Sakura just nodded. "Well I better go now" He said. "Good luck" Sakura said before turning away so that he wouldn't see the tears trickling down her cheeks. She immediately went inside the house not waiting for his reply.
