The Promise
Disclaimer: I do not own the characters from Card Captor Sakura, Clamp does. I do not own the song "The Promise" either, Tracy Chapman does.
It has been two years since Sakura sealed the last clow card and confessed her love for Syaoran. Unfortunately he had to go back to Hong Kong and promised to return soon. 'But that was two years ago' thought Sakura. 'And still he has not returned like he promised. Has he forgotten about me.' The very thought of him forgetting her caused silent tears to form in her eyes. She thought back to the night before he left.
Flashback
They were sitting on a bench in Penguin Park and Sakura was clutching Syaoran so tight he almost lost his breath. "I don't want you to go Syaoran. I only just confessed what my heart needed to say and you're leaving", cried a sad Sakura. "Please don't go." "Please don't cry Sakura. I have to go. Don't worry Sakura I would never leave you." soothed Syaoran. He pulled himself out of Sakura's grip and took two steps back. 'Sakura looks like an angel in the moonlight' thought Syaoran to himself. Then, much to Sakura's surprise, he started singing.
If you wait for me then I'll come for you
Although I've traveled far
I always hold a place for you in my heart
If you think of me, if you miss me once in awhile
Then I'll return to you
I'll return and fill that space in your heart
Remembering
Your touch
Your kiss
Your warm embrace
I'll find my way back to you
If you'll be waiting
If you dream of me like I dream of you
In a place that's warm and dark
In a place where I can feel the beating of your heart
Remembering
Your touch
Your kiss
Your warm embrace
I'll find my way back to you
If you'll be waiting
I've longed for you and I have desired
To see your face your smile
To be with you wherever you are
Remembering
Your touch
Your kiss
Your warm embrace
I'll find my way back to you
If you'll be waiting
I've longed for you and I have desired
To see your face, your smile
To be with you wherever you are
Remembering
Your touch
Your kiss
Your warm embrace
I'll find my way back to you
Please say you'll be waiting
Together again
It would feel so good to be
In your arms
Where all my journeys end
If you can make a promise if it's one that you can keep, I vow to come for you
If you wait for me and say you'll hold
A place for me in your heart.
When he had finished the song Sakura ran up to him and threw her arms around his neck. "You promise?" she asked. "With all my heart." replied Syaoran. Sakura placed a light kiss on his lips as if to seal their promise and they started walking home, hand in hand.
End Flashback
That night Sakura cried her self to sleep thinking of her one true love.
Sakura awoke to the sound of birds and the light shining brightly in her eyes. She looked over at Kero's sleeping form and went into the bathroom. As she was brushing her teeth memories of what she was thinking about the night before filled her thoughts and silent tears started forming in her eyes. She hastily wiped them away and got dressed. She decided to go for a walk since both her father and brother were still asleep. She looked at the clock and noted the time was 6.08am. This was the earliest she ever woke without an alarm clock. She didn't have a certain destination in mind. She just needed to clear her head and a walk always did the trick.
While she was busy thinking she unconsciously walked to Penguin Park. Just then she felt a strong presence. It was very familiar and for a minute she thought she was imagining things. That was until she walked around the corner and there on the same bench Syaoran and her sat at, there was a boy with messy chocolate brown hair staring at his feet. Suddenly his head shot up and looked straight at Sakura. He slowly stood up and took a couple of steps forward and then he whispered "Sakura".
She just stood there. Completely frozen but when she heard him say her name a smile crossed her face. She ran like the wind and jumped into his open arms. They stood in that position for what seemed liked forever. Neither one wanting to let go, then Sakura reluctantly released her hold and looked into his eyes. "I can't believe you came back. I thought you forgot all about me." "I could never forget you Sakura, besides I did promise didn't I?" said Syaoran. They smiled at each other. Syaoran cupped her face in his hand and kissed her soft lips. "I love you, my Cherry Blossom." whispered Syaoran "And I love you, my Little Wolf".
