PROLOGUE:
The crimson sun dipped ever so lightly over the beach. The waves transformed into gentle caresses on the blushing sky. A lone girl sat at the coffee bar, gazing wistfully at the scenery. "I need a break" she thought. "I need to escape somewhere". Sipping the mocha, she saw the sun set slowly, turning bright orange and descending into the ocean, casting a reddish hue over the thatched bamboo roof. It was going to be tough, probably painful too, "but I need to do it" she decided resolutely. She got up and strode towards the bill counter, paid for her coffee and walked out, in fast strides.
At the bar, a young man noticed her striding off in a hurry. He sat sipping the espresso unhurriedly and stared unknown to himself at her retreating back when suddenly a flash from her hand caught his eye. Something fell from her hand neatly on the soft sand at the doorstep. She didn't seem to notice and walked away. He left the mug on the table and rushed towards the door, calling out to her "Oye, you seem to have dropped something! ". But the slight rumble of the waves caused his call to go unheard. He saw her disappear in darkness, sighed and looked down at his feet. Picking up he noticed it was a bracelet. Made of white gold, it had tiny diamonds interspersed between miniature emerald butterflies. The clasp was broken. He stared at it, frowning slightly. "Why does this look familiar?" he traced the pattern in his hand unconsciously and walked over to his table. "Now where have I seen it before? I'm sure I have, but where?" he wondered. He picked up his cup for a sip when he froze suddenly "Shit, I am such a fool! "He exclaimed and ran out with the bracelet in hand, throwing some change on the counter. "I've been so stupid" he thought running into the darkness. "I can't miss her, not again!"
He sprinted along the beach, moonlight washing the waves with a pale hue. He stopped after sometime, looking around frantically. It was over crowded today, What with the New Year beach party revving up. He stood in the middle of the excited crowd, who were jostling him to and fro, all eager to get to the party in time. He sighed, running a hand frustratedly through his hair,"how do I find you now, Kino? "And kicked a trashed cola can straight ahead. Too bad a girl came into the view suddenly; it stuck her ankle with force. He cursed and mumbled a quick apology and left the scene. The said girl seemed to be really pissed off and was glaring heatedly at him.
"I don't know!" she wailed as she dejectedly wriggled her toes in and out of the sand. "How could I be so careless Tomoyo?" she launched herself at her friend sobbing. Tomoyo sighed and said reassuringly "there there, don't cry now. How about we go and re trace your step to the hotel, maybe we can spot it somewhere?" She got up and offered her hand to her friend,"come on now, we might find it if we are lucky". They trudged along the beach, Tomoyo stealing a glance at her friend occasionally "she's really upset" she thought. "Wonder why she's so attached to that bracelet of hers". She looked up just in time to see a can come hurtling across her. She was about to open her mouth and warn her friend but damage was done already. She saw a guy standing with his hands in his pockets. "I'm sorry" he said distractedly and rushed away in the other direction.

Sakura stared at the guy's retreating figure and looked at her foot. It had swelled and was throbbing. "Are you all right, Kura?" Tomoyo asked. "Yeah, it hurts though, I can't walk anymore Tomoyo and besides I seem to have lost it anyways" she looked forlornly at the moon "Now I can never find him", she thought. "Damn it!" she cursed and got up, wincing at the pain.
Not too far away, Syaoran was venting out his frustration on a lone palm tree. "damn it!" and punched the tree hard, causing it to sway a bit
