Hi! I'm Sentori, call me Tori ^_^ and this is my first fic. OMG!! I can't believe I even finished the first chapter, it's amazing, by my standards anyway!! I'm going to stop babbling and start it, ok?

The fic's called Fate's Twisted Destiny. It's a CCS AU fic and I see that there are a lot of these. Uh... I'll try to update as often as I can, but the next chapter will probably be out in about three-four days, by the 21st.

Summary: As the bud of a flower opens in spring, so does the heart of a little girl. She greets the world with happiness. She loves life and her family but once fate comes her way, her destiny is forever changed. Thus, the start of Fate's Twisted Destiny. PROLOGUE

Sorry, this prologue is VERY short, but it's going to get longer as the story progresses. It's very hard to write a long prologue --;;

Fate's Twisted Destiny

Prologue: In the Past

Written by: Sentori

"Syaoran, you are not giving up on me! Not now!"

Tears rushed down Sakura's face as she shook her beloved. He was dying, even without using her senses, she could feel it. She didn't want it to be true. Oh how she didn't!

Syaoran's eyes opened again slowly. "Sakura, listen to me, I can't hold on much longer, you'll have to go on without me. Leave me here."

Sakura shook her head, disbelieving. "Syaoran, there's no way I'm doing that, either you're coming with me, alive, or I'm dying with you out here, there's no other way."

"Sakura, don't be stupid. You still have plenty to live for, the cards, Kero, your family. Me, I have nothing. I'd rather die than see you die because of me," Syaoran said forcefully. The talking that he was doing was steadily sapping his energy and strength and he knew he didn't have much time left.

"I don't care! You hear me Syaoran? I don't CARE!!"

"Of course you do."

Tears still streamed down Sakura's cheeks. "I just don't know if I can go on without you," she whispered, laying the side of her head on his chest. "I love you Syaoran. I don't want to leave without you."

"Sakura, I'm going to die here anyway. I love you too, but there's nothing that you can do to save me right now..."

Sakura cried on his shirt and Syaoran struggled to sit up. He finally managed it and cradled her head in his hands. "Sakura, look at me."

She looked up, into her love's ashen face. "I don't want to lose you," she whispered, throwing her arms around him and burying her face in the crook of his neck.

"I know..." Syaoran trailed off. "I don't want to lose you either... but now I must go. Sakura, this won't be the last time I see you." He then fell backwards out of Sakura's arms as the last of the life that was in him left his body.

Sakura's eyes filled with tears again. "Syaoran!! No!!" she screamed. "You promised you wouldn't leave me..."

That was the last that I remembered of seeing Syaoran that time. He left me and he promised that he never would. He's said that this wouldn't be the last time. So, Syaoran, when you get this, you will know that I'm still here waiting for you...

My memories of you have not faded and they never will, I'll always keep you close to my heart like you did me.

*sniff sniff* that was certainly... interesting. Please guys, review! I know all prologues are supposed to be an introduction into the story and so on, but I just want to see where this one ends up. Let me know if I should continue or not.

Please review!!!
