*When they were young...*

*"Hi."
A young boy looked up with a confused expression. "Um...hi. Who are you?"
"Tomoyo Daidouji. Nice to meet you," she replied, extending her hand.
"Um...nice to meet you. My name's Li Xiao Lang," he replied, taking her hand and shaking it.
"Tomoyo! We have to leave now! Where are you?"
Tomoyo smiled and shouted. "I'm over here, okaa-san!" She waved at two distant figures and they started walking towards her.
"Honey, we have to go now," Sonomi said gently. "Say goodbye to your friend. It's getting late."
"Xiao Lang! Come here!"
Xiao Lang turned around to meet the angry face of his mother. "Shi de, mu qin, (Yes, mother)" he said obediently.
"Chinese?" Nadeshiko said puzzledly. She looked up to see a familiar face. "Yelen!"
"Nadeshiko?" Xiao Lang's mother said in surprise.
"Yelen! Nice to meet you after so long!" Sonomi said as the three of them exchanged hugs.
"Ah, yes. Eleven years had certainly been a long time," Yelen said smiling.
"I see that this is the son whom you had been bragging so much about," Sonomi commented looking at the young boy behind his mother.
"Ah, yes. This is my son, Li Xiao Lang," Yelen said proudly.
"Nice to meet you, Xiao Lang," Nadeshiko said smiling.
"Hello, Xiao Lang. I am Sonomi and this is my daughter Tomoyo Daidouji. Honey, this is-"
"I know who he is, mother. We had just met," Tomoyo interrupted.
Nadeshiko smiled. "I'm Nadeshiko and this is my daughter, Sakura. Unfortunately, she had just fallen asleep," she said showing the bundle she was carrying.
"My, how cute. How old is she?" Yelen asked.
"Around nine months. Tell me, Yelen, why are you here?"
"My husband had some business to attend here and I thought that it would be wonderful for Xiao Lang to learn some Japanese. My daughters, however, don't want to come here," Yelen replied. "We will be here for around ten years or so."
Nadeshiko was about to reply but was cut off by a stirring. She looked at the young Sakura and smiled. "She's waking."
Yelen stood closer to look at the baby. Sakura's eyes moved a little before they opened to reveal two emerald orbs. "She's beautiful," Yelen said, smiling. "And very cute. Look at her, Xiao Lang."
Xiao Lang peeped at the baby making her smile and hold up her small hands at them. He smiled, taking her small hand gently and shake it. "Hello," he said as Sakura giggled.
"Nadeshiko, let's go."
"Coming, dear. Yelen, why don't you come over to our house and have dinner with us?" Nadeshiko asked.
"Yes, Yelen. We can also show you around and your son can make new friends," Sonomi said.
Nadeshiko felt a pulling on her skirt and saw her son. "Mom, can we go now?" he asked.
"Just a moment, dear. Yelen, this is my son, Touya. He is ten years old now," Nadeshiko said. (I'll change her name to Nade)
"Nice to meet you, young man," Yelen said. "We'll take up on that offer, Nade. Just tell me where you live and I'll be there at seven tonight."
"Tenth house on the right of cherry blossom street. It's the largest there. Believe me, you can't miss it," a man replied, walking up to them. "Nice to see you again, Yelen."
"Fujitaka! Nice to se you again!" Yeen said smiling. "Which of these beautiful women did you marry?" she teased.
"The one and only Nadeshiko. You should know that," Fujitaka replied.
Yelen laughed. "Of course. You were always after her when you were young."
"I'll see you later, Nade. I just spotted my limo. Let's go, Tomoyo," Sonomi said with a wave.
Tomoyo bowed politely and followed her mother. Xiao Lang just stared at Tomoyo's retreating back as he blushed.
"We have to go too. Come on, Touya," Fujitaka said to his son. Touya nodded, bowed and walked away.
"Our house is very near to the park so we just walk there," Nade explained. "See you later, Yelen." Sakura just made a noise as if she was unwilling to go. She extended her small hand to Xiao Lang. "Seems to me that my daughter had fallen for your son, Yelen."
Xiao Lang brightened as he took Sakura's hand. "And it seems that my son is as well," Yelen replied.
"See you later, Yelen," Nade said as she headed to the direction of her house.*

*
*Three years later*
*
*
*

*"Tomoyo onee-chan!" a four year old Sakura wailed. "Wait up!"
Tomoyo sighed. "Please hurry up, Sakura-chan. We are going to be late for school," she said, going faster.
Sakura pouted and ran as fast as she could. She tripped and expected to hit face first to the floor...but felt a pair of strong arms catching her. "Hey, squirt."
"Mou, onii-cha!" Sakura cried.
"Let's go. My bike is faster than walking," Touya said laughing. Even at the age of thirteen, he had already started working.
When they reached the school, they were three minutes earlier. "Hoe? Where's Tomoyo onee-chan?" Sakura asked.
"Behind you," Tomoyo replied dryly. "I can' believe you gave her a ride but you didn't give me one."
"You were the one who let her behind. Now, go to your class," Touya stated as he took off to his class.
"Hey, Tomoyo." Tomoyo sighed and pretended that she didn't hear anything. Sakura, however, brightened.
"Syaoran onii-cha!" she said running to him.
"So, Tomoyo. You doing anything after school today?" Syaoran asked. (They are in Japan so Syaoran had a Japanese name)
"Yes. I have a student body meeting," Tomoyo replied and went to her class, with Syaoran following behind her like a puppy. Sakura smiled sadly and walked slowly to her class. What a Love Triangle.*

*
*
*Two years later*
*
*
*
*
*"Tell me again why you must leave," Nade asked.
Yelen sighed. "Syaoran must learn how to be a leader. He must go back and train how to be a real leader. After all, he is the heir to the Li Clan ever since his father died last year."
"Do you promise to come back here someday?" Sonomi asked sadly.
"Of course. Once Syaoran finished his training, we will be back," Yelen assured.
Sonomi sighed. "Okay. Just make sure you come back," she said and turned to look at their children.
"It's going to be the hardest on the children," Nade stated. "They had known each other for so long.
Yelen smiled sadly. "I know..."*
*
*"I'm going to miss you, Syaoran," Sakura said sadly.
"I'm going to miss you too," Syaoran replied, but his eyes were glued to Tomoyo.
It was easy to see why. Sakura can actually rival Tomoyo in looks and heart but she never tried. Tomoyo is a boy magnet but Sakura, on the other hand, is a tomboy. She was dressed in baseball outfit while Tomoyo was wearing her self-designed clothes.
"When are you coming back?" Tomoyo asked, as she snapped her concealer shut and looked at him straight in the eye.
"I-I-I don't know," Syaoran said, blushing furiously. God, help him. He is going to faint.
Sakura smiled. "How about if we keep contact with one another? My dad bought me a laptop and I learnt how to send e-mail," she said, looking at Syaoran.
"Okay. I'll send you a mail when I reach there," he said. "Promise you will write to me, Tomoyo?" He asked hopefully.
Sakura's chest tightened. "Sorry, I don't have a computer so I can't," Tomoyo replied breezily as she looked at the dresses in a corner.
"You can use mine," Sakura chirped.
"Yea, Tomoyo. You can use hers," Syaoran said hopefully. "I'll send you a mail as soon as possible. Bye, Tomoyo!" He gave her a kiss on the cheek and ran into the plane.
"Why the hell did he do that for?" Tomoyo said angrily as she rubbed her cheek. Sakura just smiled wistfully at her and stared at the plane, wishing that Syaoran had kissed her as well. She saw him wave and waved franctically back at him before realizing that he was waving at Tomoyo, who was going through the dresses. "Sakura-chan, when we get home, you better wear a dress I made you for the upcoming party!"
'Someday, Syaoran. Someday, you will start to notice me and stop caring about Tomoyo' she thought sadly.*
