When the Past Haunts You

Sakura's POV

As I stare at this sea of people surrounding US, I was actually bewildered by the fact that I would go back to my nightmare. I tightened my grip on these suitcases. Poor thing.

"Hey mom, can you hear that?" my three-year-old child was asking.

"What was it?" I asked, kinda surprised.

She smiled sweetly, and gripped my hand tightly before answering.

"It's our flight already, Mom. I'm so excited to see Japan!"

I actually froze in my place. Japan – the land where my nightmares still exist. For SEVEN YEARS, I fight not to come back. I wanna forget everything – especially that: I am Sakura Li.

I am Sakura Li, or in the past - Sakura Kinomoto. Have you ever heard of the hot business tycoon? Okay, I am not saying that he's HOT, but he was known for that word. So anyway, he's STILL my husband.

Husband. Okay, so what am I doing in California – while I have my HOT and HANDSOME lover waiting for me in that place?

So, I'll start this with telling a sad story of a girl, though some would say that this is a fairytale love story, eew - which happens to be me.

Kinomoto Corporations – the producer of computer pieces, which is administered by Fujitaka Kinomoto, my father, was on bankrupt. So what's the solution? Me. He just married me off to Li Corporation's son, Li Syaoran. Evethough my brother, Touya Kinomoto was against it - even Syaoran and I was, well - the wedding was still on.

Though both of us were unwilling, we practicaly did EVERYTHING, we have no choice but to do what was told. We were just 19 back then, so school was actually hell. I mean, having a fiancée in that age is hell, right? He continued his studies, while I – I just practiced my PROFESSION. Being a housewife.

So the merge of both corporations was a success. But our marriage, it was not.

Of course, there were fights – okay, everyday, there were fights. And unsurprisingly, the both of us grew tired of it. Who wouldn't be angry at some girl clinging to my husband? Gee. That's a natural reaction. I am his wife, okay? I am not jealous.

After months of our on-and-off-relationship, I talked to him – and said that I'll study here in California. He agreed, no doubt about it. And yeah, I never went home for seven years. But you know what, seven years actually felt like seven minutes. The good thing was – my account has money stocked on it. So, I had no problem in financial things – especially on Chiharu's, my child, needs (A/N: Chiharu is Sakura's daughter. Haha). The truth is, I NEVER STUDIED. I spend HIS money on material things, like bags and shoes. Okay, that's the advantage being the wife of a Li. But most of the money was for Chiharu's basic needs.

But one thing is a fact. I'll return - to end this stormy relationship. I wanted freedom, for myself. And this is for Chiharu's sake.

He never knew Chiharu. Ever.

He must never.

For seven years, he never cared. He never called, or whatever.

But if he'll know about Chiharu's identity, will he actually care – even just a bit?

No! What am I thinking? Syaoran is a cold-hearted bastard. And I need to protect MY daughter. The child is a three-year-old, for heaven's sake.

"Mom?"

Reality strikes me back to the present. Anger filled my emerald eyes as I grabbed our suitcases - and it vanished once I looked at my daughter.

"Oh, sorry honey. What were you saying?"

"Mom, we're now going to ride the... vrrrooooom! whoooooosssshh..." she even imitated the airplane's movement in the sky.

I chuckled, "Okay, let's go?"

I wore my shades and carefully ruffled Chiharu's hair - making her giggle. We started walking.

I'm ready to face you, Syaoran Li. I'm ready as ever. I'll bring this marriage - you down.

A/N: What does the child has to do with Syaoran Li? :D

Please Review! This chapter is short, sorry. But I'll make it longer in the next chapters.

Till Next Time. :D
