Chapter One: Painful Memories
It's been almost two years since the accident. It's always quiet when I come here to her gravesite. I've been coming every night since everything flipped upside down. It's not fair, but then who ever said life would be? No matter how many times I try I just can't get her out of my head. She even haunts my dreams. I can still remember every detail about her, including that night.
It was the last day of Junior High. We would begin our summer vacation the next day and we were all looking forward to it. As we were leaving the school that afternoon, Sakura and I noticed a very ominous presence. When we discovered the source, we met a man filled with evil magic. He challenged Sakura to a battle that would take place within the next five days. The time was up to Sakura. We discussed this with Kero and both him and I decided it would be best if Sakura waited 'till the last day to battle the man. That way she could train and be completely ready for the battle to come. However, she had already made up her mind. She would meet the man at the park that night and battle him. No amount of protesting from Kero or myself would change her mind, so I tagged along to make sure nothing happened.
When we got to the park, the man was waiting. Not long after we arrived Sakura and the man began the battle. I could tell that Sakura wasn't doing well. The man had beaten every card she threw at him. She had cuts and bruises all over her. I must admit that I was worried about her. Something in the trees distracted me and I was brought back to the insuing battle by a cry of pain from Sakura. She had been wounded badly. Her left side was bleeding and she didn't have the strength to stand. The anger surged through me and I sent a lightning bolt straight through the mans heart, killing him. I had obviously caught him off guard, thus being able to kill him so easily. When I looked back at Sakura she didn't look so good. I knelt down beside her and grabbed her hand. I'll never forget the words she said to me. "Syaoran, please don't leave me." I was so happy at hearing her say my name that I couldn't find words at first. I finally managed to choke out an "I promise." To her. It was then that Sakura's onii-chan came crashing through the woods. He glared at me and when he saw Sakura he started yelling at me. He thought I'd hurt his sister. I could never bring myself to hurt such a beautiful cherry blossom. Tomoyo had been hiding in the bushes capturing everything on tape and now came running to Sakura's side. I heard Toya and Tomoyo talking and it didn't sound good. Toya picked Sakura up and rushed her to the hospital. Tomoyo promised to call me and let me know what the doctors said about Sakura. I nodded in agreement and Tomoyo rushed after Toya.
I was numb. I didn't have the will to move nor the desire. As a warrior I was trained not to show emotion, but that night it took all my might to keep the tears at bay. It was also then that I realized how much I loved Sakura. I eventually got up and wandered around for the rest of the night. It was dawn when I finally reached my apartment. I noticed several phone messages and was about to listen to them when the phone rang. I answered it only to find Tomoyo at the other end. It was obvious she had been crying. "Li-kun, I've been trying to reach you all night. I've got some bad news, though." She paused, obviously trying to compose herself. "Sakura didn't make it through the night. There was nothing the doctors could do for her." I threw the phone against the wall, not caring if it broke. They held her funeral two days later. I wasn't invited. I can't say that I blame them. Toya still thought I was the one to blame. He'd even called the police on me. Tomoyo helped get me put of that situation, though. I watched the funeral from a distance. I figured I owed it to Sakura to at least say goodbye. The next day Tomoyo, Kero, and I had a meeting. Kero said that in Sakura's absence the cards had released themselves. I volunteered to retrieve them.
