Throughout this story I've made horrible mistakes so I went back to fixing all the chapters before closing this story. Sorry for the delay. Also I feel really down with everything that's happening in Japan. =( I wish the best for them.

Guys I'm back with a new story. I'm so sorry about the other one, I'm planning on writing a second part to it, but I'm not sure when. Well this one is more thought out, so I'm guessing it's good right? =) Also, I speak Spanish as well so I will translate it. So bilinguals tell me which is better for me. lol

I don't own CCS.

Childhood Love

Sakura Kinomoto was only in the 4th grade when Syaoran Li confessed to her, they had been classmates for 6 months and had gotten to know each other pretty well. At first, Syaoran had acted like a stuck up; he had entered his new class showing no emotion and while the teacher was presenting him he looked uninterested. But as his eyes wandered to his new classmates, they stopped when they met a beautiful pair of green emeralds.

The green eyed girl, in return, smiled back at him to welcome his gaze. But he disregarded her smile and just glared back at her. Sakura felt slightly intimidated by his presence but gave her all not to judge him. However, when she saw the teacher pointing at the empty seat in front of her, she froze instantly.

Syaoran walked with an air of superiority towards his new seat, not looking away from Sakura. He noticed she started sinking down into her chair; and when he was in front of her, he stood there glaring at her. Sakura immediately presented herself and handed him her hand. But Syaoran just reluctantly took a seat. Sakura's cheeks burned a crimson red.

As the months passed Sakura took notice of Syaoran's great academic level, except in Japanese class. She herself had a hard time with math, so she and her beautiful cousin, Tomoyo went up to him. They planned on helping him and getting help from him.

"Li Syaoran?" Sakura asked shyly, he was looking at them like they were two more fan girls after him.

"Yes, and if you want my friendship you have to pull down your underwear in front of the whole class." Sakura's and Tomoyo's jaw dropped.

"Actually, I was going to offer our help on Japanese…" a vein throbbed at Sakura's forehead. Tomoyo giggled at his statement, she knew how to keep her cool.

"Hmm, first work on your math skills, then go helping others out.." Tomoyo interrupted his sermon.

"Ah Li-san, but this is the case you know, you help us in math and we in return help you with Japanese." Syaoran's eyes widened at the thought of helping and being helped.

"I guess.. It wouldn't hurt, but don't fall for me since I'm only staying here temporarily" he answered.

"Believe me, I don't have a problem with that" Sakura answered, giving him a sincere smile and at that moment Syaoran's heart beat increased frenetically.

"Oh ok" he responded looking away and blushing. Tomoyo noticed it right away but her cousin who was very well known to be slow in this type of things didn't. Tomoyo smiled evilly, wondering what kind of dress Sakura would wear for their first tutoring session.

Just as Tomoyo planned, she made Sakura wear a hot pink short frilly dress, with black tights and pink hair accessories on her short auburn hair for their first study buddy session. It was held at the Li mansion. Sakura was very impressed at the size of the house while Tomoyo wasn't; she used to this type of luxury her mother, Sonomi, owned a known designer company. When Syaoran saw Sakura his cheeks flushed, and he tried to recompose himself quickly.

That's how it went for the 2 following months, until Syaoran couldn't take it anymore. He was desperate, he had good grades in everything even Japanese, his martial arts training was excellent. But every time he saw Sakura his heart gave out, and he felt it was calling for her. So he decided to confess. He invited her to Penguin Park, with the excuse that he wanted to discuss an important matter.

"Li? Why are you so nervous?" Sakura asked.

"Sakura, please call me Syaoran."

"Oh ok, so ummm Sy-syaoran is something wrong?" she stuttered at the mention of his name.

"Sakura, I like you!" he cornered her. Sakura froze for the second time in her life, thanks to him. She looked down searching for words and started blushing. She looked up to respond.

"I'm sorry Syaoran, but can you give me time to figure out my feelings for you?"

In Syaoran's eyes there could've been found pools of sadness and agony; but he nodded understandingly.

That same week Yelan Li, Syaoran's mother called telling him he had to return to Hong Kong. He thought it was better to tell a few people about his departure and Sakura wasn't one of them. Once Tomoyo heard the rumors that he wasn't returning she decided to tell Sakura. Sakura started crying incessantly, she had found out she liked him the moment she lost him.

RINNNNNNNG! The alarm went off waking up the now 22 year-old Sakura.

"Ah man… What time is it?" She looked at the clock, it was 8:30 am.

"HOEEE! I was supposed to wake up at 7:30 am."

It was only two weeks since she had graduated from university and was still getting used to her new job schedule. She brushed her shoulder length auburn hair and did her make-up. It was barely noticeable, she looked fine without it but Tomoyo always pressured her to wear some. She put on the formal attire she had to wear for work. It was a white blouse with cleavage, with a black skirt 3 inches above her knees, and 5 inch heels to complement her short self.

Sakura was working for one the most influential people in the business world, Yelan Li. But she wasn't aware of it since her nephew, Eriol Hiiragizawa was in charge of the one in Japan. Eriol was 25 years old, and he showed interest in Tomoyo. So he had offered Sakura a job to impress her, or so she thought. In reality, Sakura was amazingly ingenious and handy.

While she was looking over some of the statistics of past years, her mind wandered of to that morning's dream.

"Hmm what was I dreaming this morning? Oh yeah, I was remembering Syaoran, that jerk he confessed to me, just to hurt my feelings. I mean he didn't even say goodbye" she blurted out loud.

She looked up from her paper work when she heard footsteps. In front of her was standing a handsome young man with chestnut, impossible to tame hair and amber wide eyes.

"Kinomoto-san?"
