1. Saying Goodbye

A handsome young man with black spiked up hair and magnificent silver-blue-green eyes wrapped his strong arms around the slim waist of a honey brown hair girl with amazing emerald eyes. They sat there in the middle of the forest near a beautiful waterfall. Pine trees everywhere with morning glories wrapping themselves around the tree trunks, butterflies twittered about here and there and elegant birds flew above in the sky where the sun was setting. The ground had fresh green soft grass where flowers bloomed all around them tickling them where they lay looking up at where the tree branches and leaves formed a heart leaving an opening to gaze at the stars [sorry if the description isn't good… its…errr.. "romantic" sight like an oasis in the middle of a desert and you know how the trees form together and cover the top and … yea.. Sorry if you don't exactly understand… ^-~ now that I think of it… I should just save this for Syaoran and Sakura…hehe I'll bring this place up again…okay now on with the story without any more disturbances] The girl lay in his arms with her head resting on his muscular chest…

"Will you wait for me…Sakura?" the boy with the silver-blue-green eyes asked looking into her beautiful sparkling emerald ones.

"Yes… I'll wait for as long as it takes. Why must you leave? Why can't I come and help you? I am, after all, the card mistress! The *ahem* oh-so-powerful-and-magnificent sorceress! I should be in the battle along with you! What if you get hurt?? I should be there! Then I could use the shield to protect you!" she cried as helpless tears started to stream down her cheeks, "What if you don't come back?? What if--" she was cut of when he softly pressed his lips onto Sakuras. Sakura was shocked but then relax, slowly kissing back. They broke apart and he smiled and kissed her tears away and hugged her.

"Don't worry Sakura… I'll come back…for you. I love you Sakura, no matter how many girls try to be in my life you are the only girl that will ever be for me, I haven't and will never love anyone else as much as I love you. I won't be away for long and remember you'll always be in my heart. Always and forever, but for now we have to say goodbye." he told her softly, his eyes showing sadness and pain. Then he broke the embrace taking a small light colored wooden box decorated with cherry blossoms out and gave it to her.

"What… you…" she started.

"Open it. It's for you. As long as you wear this my heart belongs to you and we will be together again one day." [sorry that didn't come out right. T-T;; now it just sounded corny -____-+;]

Sakura looked up at the young man with fresh new tears in her eyes. She opened the box and inside was a gold ring with the words 'aishiteru Sakura' and a Dragon on the other side, "Hiryuu! You cannot give me this!" [Hiryuu-flying dragon]

"It is mine to give to whom I will… like my heart" he replied. [^-^ hehee got that from Lord Of The Rings ^-~ so yaw its not mines]

She looked up at him and smiled. "Arigotou" she said softly and gave him a passionate kiss. They broke the kiss and she hugged him and lay there in his strong, warm, protective loving arms. She didn't ever want this moment to end. He looked down at the soft honey colored hair… he would miss her so much, but he had to go to battle. He was the captain of the Kinomoto army and the Kinomoto Kingdom was at war with the Hirogizawa Kingdom so he had to leave. He sighed… he wanted to spend the last of his time with her… just to be with her for this one last time until they met again… a few hours later they left back for the castle…

][=the next day=][

"I WILL COME BACK FOR YOU SAKURA!!!" Hiryuu cried out as his strong stallion battle horse trotted off. "I LOVE YOU!!!" were the last words he yelled while Sakura watched his receding back.

" I love you too…Hiryuu…" she said softly and bowed her head letting the tears fall freely onto her palms where she held her ring and she put it on and ran to her room, flung herself on her bed and cried…while an amthyest colored eye girl sat and comforted her…

"HOOOOOOEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!! @_______________@;;;;" *Wham BOOM*

A honey brown haired girl with astonishing emerald green eyes rushed around the room throwing on a pink rose colored gown and brushed her hair quickly putting two clips on each side and ran out. She quickly stopped at a closed door, smoothed out her clothes and stepped in…an empty room??? "HOOOEEE!!!" she fell down anime style. "WRONG ROOM!!! T-T ;*sweat drop*" she ran off once more and saw the room she was suppose to be in and ran faster, faster, fas---WHAM---"hooooooooeee……@_@* she ran right into the door, the door opened revealing a unpleasant Princess Sakura. *^-^ ;;sweat drop* "hehe… umm… gomen ne… I'm late… hehe…" and she quickly took her seat next to her best amethyst eyed friend Tomoyo.

"umm…. My daughter Princess Sakura!" (Face---*|:D--face) said King Fujitaka.

"umm… As I was saying… heh… what was I saying?? ^-^;;?"

"Errmm.. Oh yes. My daughter Sakura Kinomoto of the Kinomoto Kingdom will be arranged to meet Syaoran Li of the Li Kingdom to see if there could be a future engagement!" everyone cheered!!! Except for two people… Sakura and her older brother Touya.
