Chapter 1 - Flashback to the beyond
Sakura Kinomoto stared out of the window of her bedroom. She moved to Tokyo when she was about 7 and ½ years old. She had the hard life without her best friend. or at least past best friend Syaoran Li. She had one friend though. Her name was Tomoyo Daidouji. They've become somewhat close, and Tomoyo agreed to move in with them. Why? Because now Sakura was going back to her REAL home, Tomoeda, Japan.
"Kaijuu." Touya called from downstairs. Sakura's gotten used to this nickname. but hated it. "What do you want?" She called back, exasperated. "It's time to bring down your boxes!" He yelled back, a rather large sweat drop appearing on his head. "I already brought them down, baka! If you'd take time to notice things!! I'm packing up! DON'T BOTHER ME!" Sakura yelled with a hint of pissiness in her voice. "Crap, she's got a temper." Tomoyo stated, entering the household through the open door. "Yeah, Arigato for stating the obvious," he replied, walking away. "Well, I now know why she's usually pissed at you now," she murmured, walking up the staircase.
Sakura was found packing her clothes into her suitcase. Tomoyo smiled at all the clothes. She knew Sakura never EVER liked dresses, so she never made them. Just tight shirts with chains that hung or baggy pants with patched in phrases on the side of the leg. Thanks to Sakura, she's improved her clothing making skills. "What are we going to wear on our first day of school?" Tomoyo asked, adjusting her strap on her duffel bag. Sakura looked into her bag and got out a black shirt that said, "Smile! It confuses people" on it and a pair of baggy camo pants. Tomoyo nodded, "Okay, but I'm going to wear something more. girlish than your outfit." Sakura chuckled, "Yeah I know. You're like. my complete opposite with the clothes." They began a small conversation, well. Tomoyo was talking, about a possibility about meeting someone special over at Tomoeda, then Touya told them to move it or lose it before they would be left behind.
While riding in the car to their destined home, Sakura was thinking about what Tomoyo said while in her old room.
"Maybe you'll meet someone that'd look beyond your clothes. You know Sakura- chan, some of the guys at our old school liked you, but you were too. tough for them."
Sakura looked out her window and watched the scenery speed past her. like her memories of her old best friend, Syaoran.

Little Sakura [[age 5]] sat at the sandbox staring at the ants that walked across it. "The leader is like Moses, leading them across the desert from Egypt, running away from Pharaoh," she muttered. The girls heard what she said and pushed her into the sand. "Kinomoto is such a pastor's baby!" One of them said, flipping her blond ponytail. Sakura glared at them and dusted her self off, "For your information, my daddy IS a pastor! And I'm not a baby! At least I can read! NOT LIKE YOU!" The girls gasped and ran to a group of other girls so that they wouldn't get in trouble. "Oi! Did they hurt you?" A little boy with unruly chestnut colored hair and gentle amber eyes asked, picking Sakura up by her hands. "No. They just pushed me. I got sand in my pockets now," she said, looking into her red pants, "Thanks for helping me up." The boy stopped her, "What's your name? I'm new." Sakura smiled, "Kinomoto Sakura, yours?" The boy smiled, too, "Li Syaoran. It's nice to meet you, Kinomoto-san." Sakura looked down, "You can call me Sakura, Li-kun." Syaoran shook his head, "No, Sakura-chan. You can call me Syaoran."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Age 6 *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Don't do that Sakura! You're going to get hurt!" Syaoran exclaimed, pulling her away. "SYAORAN! IT'S JUST THE SLIDES! Kami-sama, I'm not going to get hurt! Calm down!" Sakura said, pulling herself toward the slide. "BUT TAKASHI SAID THAT AT THE END OF THE SLIDES, SOME MONSTER WILL EAT YOU UP!!" Syaoran cried, pulling her arm harder. "Takashi lies remember! RIKA SAYS SO!" Sakura yelled. Syaoran let go, "Fine! But if I lose my best friend, IT'S NOT MY FAULT!" Sakura thought about it a while, "FINE I'll stay off the slides." Syaoran turned around and hugged her tight, "GOOD, because I didn't feel like seeing you BEING EATEN BY A MONSTER!" She gasped for air and flapped her arms around like a bird about to take flight, "SYAORAN, GET OFF ME!!!"
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Age 7 *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ "WHAT!?!? YOU'RE MOVING!?" Little Syaoran yelled at the top of his lungs. Little Sakura nodded slowly, letting the tears in her eyes fall freely. "WHY ARE YOU MOVING!?" Syaoran yelled, jumping up and down hysterically. "Remember when my mom died? Yeah, Touya heard about the school in Tokyo that she wanted him to go to, so he's going there for high school. I'm promise I'll be back Syaoran-kun! Don't worry! I promise! And when I make a promise, I always keep it!" Sakura replied, grabbing Syaoran's hand and holding it to keep in down. "NO! You have to stay here!" Syaoran yelled, holding onto her hand tightly. Sakura hugged him tightly, "Don't cry Syao- kun, I promise I'll be back when we get to high school." Syaoran looked at her, "HIGH SCHOOL?? THAT'S TOO LONG!!" Sakura shook her head, "I promise, no sooner, no later." Then the two kids broke into a fit of sobs, crying, sniffling, hugging, and more and more promises. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Sakura-chan we're here! Kirei!! It's so peaceful!" Tomoyo exclaimed looking out her window. Sakura looked to the side, "Yeah. It's been peaceful."
"Syaoran, what are you thinking about?" Li Yelan, Syaoran's mother, asked, looking at her son with sadness equaling that of Syaoran. "Remember Sakura?" He asked, looking down at his new school supplies. "Yes of course. You two were the best of friends. She was very beautiful, I don't think I'll ever forget that girl," Yelan replied, sitting down beside her son. "Yes I know Okaa-san, but. She made a promise to come back at high school. We're at our freshman year! What if she doesn't come?!?" Syaoran exclaimed, staring at a random object. "Syaoran, you and I both know that she'll keep that promise to you. If she doesn't come back, then it's up to you to go and find her," Yelan replied calmly. A disturbing silence overcame the room until a thought came to Yelan's mind, "I almost forgot about the new neighbors across the street! They're coming today! [[And I know WHO they are. Syaoran. I hope you'll be happy now.]]. Syaoran, I need you to come with me. I think they'll need a strong man like you to help them with their boxes."
Sakura looked at their new house. She turned around to another house across the street and turned around again. "Why does that house seem so familiar?" She asked Touya. "I don't know," he shrugged, carrying his suitcase, "Get my computer box, will you?" Sakura growled in frustration and picked up the heavy box. After almost eight years of growing up without Syaoran, she seemed to be a lot stronger. Tomoyo carried in her duffel bag into the house, "When you get inside, I PROMISE to give you the good room. if I don't find it first." Sakura stuck her tongue out at her and walked to the porch. "Konichiwa!" A woman called to her. She turned around with the box in her arms, and being the clutz she is, she tripped on one of the steps of the porch. The box was caught into someone else's arms while Sakura was left on the pavement. "GOMEN NASAI!!! My SON here forgot that there was someone behind the box," The woman apologized. "No problem. LI-SENSEI!?" Sakura exclaimed, running into her arms. "It's good to have you back, Sakura- chan," she said, stroking her auburn hair. Sakura turned slowly to the boy holding the box. "Put down the box, kid," She said demandingly. The boy gently put the box down and looked at Sakura. "SAKURA!!!" The boy exclaimed, scooping her up into a tight hug. "SYAORAN!!!" She yelled, happy that she was back in her best friends arms.
