A CCS Short-fic
By AnimeGamer
Ah...my first story since my mysterious disapperence months ago. Actually, I stopped posting stories around Feburary, after the not-so-successful add on to my author fanfic compulation fic. I was around til March or April online known as Syaoran of CCS on AIM. It was then I decided on one sunday, at the end of my Spring Break I decided to leave the online world. To raise my poor, degrading grades. Since then, they've greatly improved, and now I have time to write and post this. So, now, enjoy this story I have put up.
--------------------
The clouds above swirled in a circle, white, puffy clouds flew around.
Below, on a tree branch, sat Syaoran Li. He sat on the branch, wondering why...
His return to Japan after a 3 year absence re-energized the once always saddened Sakura Kinamoto. The girl he cant stop dreaming about. After the two seen each other finally, they went back to old customs...shying away from each other. As if that one day at the swings didnt happen, and now it has been 3 months since then.
"...Why...why must it be this way?...why do we stay away...?...
...Why do I love you so...?" Syaoran said to himself.
"Syaoran?" A voice suddenly called.
Syaoran turned his face to see the Cherry Blossom herself, standing on the ground, staring up at him with sparkling bright emerald eyes. He gave a look back of that of 'what-is-it?'
"Can I...just stay with you for a bit?"
"Why?"
"Just...because...I just...want to be here...with you..."
"...okay...."
Sakura lepted up to a branch a little lower on the other side of the tree of which Syaoran was on. Syaoran noticed she has been practicing and keeping in a good shape while he was gone.
"Syaoran...im sorry...for avoiding you for so long..."
"It's okay...I was too..."
"Oh..."
Silence.
"Syaoran...tell me...why must we be this way? After everything you gone though to come back? After all the waiting...we are just friends...?"
"I...dont know..."
"Then be with me."
"..."
"I dont know what im going to do if im not around you for the rest of this week, or the weeks after that."
"..."
"Syaoran...please say something...please...tell me you'll be with me...?"
"I...cant."
Another Silence. Suddenly, it starts to sprinkle.
"Why? Why do you have to stay away...?"
"It's...because I just cant...not until I figure out something..."
'...to figure out why I love you so much...'
"Then tell me...what must you figure out?"
"It's something...that I cant share...not until the day I do figure it out."
"It's...not that reason at all...isnt it?"
"What do you mean?"
"Your just here...just because you made a promise you were forced to keep, and you just didnt want to leave me here because it wouldnt be right..."
"N-"
"I understand...Li-kun...I'm strong enough now...to be without you..."
'...though in reality...im not...'
It rains heavily now.
"I'm-"
"I'll be going now...to just be out of your life...for good...no promises..."
Syaoran had the sudden urge to go after her, but he just couldnt, as if he was glued onto the tree. Silently, as she got down, he sobbed. He didnt know why...he just did.
'Why am I acting like a 5 year old?'
Suddenly, he raised his head, as his precious Sakura is walking away into the depths of darkness. He finally figured it out.
"Sakura!" Syaoran suddenly yelled as he lepted off the tree and ran to her. She also started running...running away.
Fortunately, he was faster than her still, and he caught up and grabbed her shoulder. She turned around, fresh tears coming down, hidden from the rain. She just then and there fell to her knees.
"No...dont apologize...it's just...ov-"
"No, it isnt over. At least not yet..."
Sakura suddenly looked up. The rain started to ease up.
"I finally figured out the one thing that bothered me for the past 3 months I've been here. I finally know why I love you."
"Why do you love me?"
"Because you represent everything I wish I had...my childhood, my innocence, every emotion that was taken from me by my family years ago. Your the one thing that I'll do everything for, the one sole person I always wanted in my life. Everything about you...everything has an effect on me...from your smile to your eyes...your the only thing I want in this life now."
"..."
"I'll be with you...will you be with me?"
"...Li...Syaoran...I dont know..."
"...please Sakura...I dont know if I'll be able to ask you again..."
"..."
Syaoran lowered his head, and turned around, sobbing, almost instantly it rained hard. He started walking away, a broken Sakura on the ground on her forelegs. Syaoran walked out of the park and toward his house. He figured of getting out of Japan...he wouldnt be able to take it if he stayed.
