Memoirs Never Forgotten

Chapter 1 - 10 years

It's been ten years since I've seen him. I missed him so much but we haven't even spoken once in those ten years. After I captured the last card he still came back to Japan a few times and he even told me that he loved me, but I guess that wasn't enough to make him stay. Finally on one of the trips to visit me in Japan, he told me that he needed to start his final training to take over the Li clan permanently and that he wouldn't be able to talk to me for a while. I just didn't realize that a while would be more than ten years. It's been so long that he had probably forgotten about me.

Today's the day I started my new life, I had been studying at Tokyo University and I had just received my undergrad in archaeology following in my fathers foot steps and I had been accepted with a full ride into a very highly ranked program in Hong Kong for my masters degree and today is the day I start on my new journey. I had already moved in with my brother Touya who had moved to Hong Kong two years ago after opening a restaurant franchise that was sweeping across Asia.

But lying in bed, all I could think about was how close Syaoran was. His family lived here in Hong Kong and yet he was so far away because I would never see him again. He had forgotten about me and there was nothing I could do about it.

"Wake up, wake up, breakfast is ready!" said a small 4 year old girl named Nadeshiko, she was my sunshine the reason I could still put a smile on my face. She was named after my late mother and I loved her very much. With her beautiful light purplish grey hair and emerald eyes, she was the spiting image of my late mother.

Sakura smiled and said, "Oh sweetheart, I'll be right there, why don't you go downstairs and see if Touya needs any help."

When she left I got up and went to the bathroom to wash my face. Looking into the mirror Sakura sighed and whispered, "Syaoran."

Walking down the stairs Sakura greeted her brother and sat down to have breakfast, when she finished Sakura took everyone's dishes to the sink and cleaned them.

"So what are you two doing today?" asked Touya as Sakura sat back down at the dinning room table.

"I don't know, Nadeshiko, what do you want to do today?" asked Sakura smiling at the little girl.

"Park, park, park!" said Nadeshiko as she jumped up into Sakura's lap.

"Well looks like someone already knows where they want to go today." laughed Touya, "What park will you be going to?"

"Hmm I think we'll go to Torya Park," said Sakura as she tickled Nadeshiko, "what do you think about that hmm?"

Laughing from the Sakura's surprise attack, Nadeshiko answered, "Yes, please.. stop.. hahaha please stop…"

"Okay okay… " giggled Sakura as she stopped. "Go get dressed love." said Sakura giving Nadeshiko a kiss as she jumped down.

"Ok!" smiled Nadeshiko as she ran off.

Touya laughed at the exchange between the two.

"What?" asked Sakura confused.

"Nothing it's just… you're so good with kids and its scary how much alike you too are. Its like she's a mini Sakura… I hope she doesn't start stomp my foot." said an amused Touya.

"Well of course silly brother, I do love her so much and she loves me back. It's easy to have fun with her and… as you have pointed out just now, she might as well be a mini-me, and if she is, don't forget we can conspire against you one of these days." said Sakura with a smirk.

"She's a good kid and she's not going to follow you to conspire against me… ever!" said Touya.

"Yes she will… just you wait and see," laughed Sakura as she asked, "Will you be joining us at the park?"

"Maybe but a bit later I have some emails to send." replied Touya.

"Alright, just give me a call if you need me for anything." smiled Sakura.

Touya's cell phone then started ringing, "Oh hold on, I think that's Kaho."

"Okay, no problem. We'll be leaving anyway, as soon as Nadeshiko comes back down." said Sakura.

"Okay." smiled Touya as he answered his wife's call. Touya and Kaho Mizuki had been married for 6 years now and Kaho had been in Japan visiting her family for a few days.

As Sakura got up from the table, Nadeshiko ran back down the stairs and into Sakura's arms.

"All ready to go princess?" asked Sakura.

"Yup!" answered Nadeshiko.

"Ok, say bye bye." said Sakura.

"Bye bye!" Nadeshiko waved good-bye to Touya, as the latter responded with a wave

Walking to the park while still holding Nadeshiko, Sakura smiled at how happy Nadeshiko looked. I remember when I was that happy. Sakura remembered all the good times Tomoyo, Syoaran and she had when they were kids.

When they finally made it to the park Sakura smiled as she put Nadeshiko down and the latter immediately ran to the playground. She stood watching her play. As Sakura watched she got a text message from Tomoyo. "Sakura-chan! I'm making lots of new clothes for my darling little Nadeshiko. I'm coming to Hong Kong next week I'll bring everything!" texted Tomoyo excitedly.

"Ok Tomoyo, just don't go overboard, we don't want to spoil her! Remember!" replied Sakura amusedly.

"Of course, whatever you say." replied Tomoyo, dropping the hints that she will do the exact opposite of what Sakura told her to do.

"Oh dear…" thought Sakura.

Tomoyo had, after all started her own fashion line during high school, Sakura being her model and she went to school for design at Tokyo University. She managed to make her first million even before her first semester finished.

Sakura's phone beeped, signaling a new incoming text. "Oh, I almost forgot! I need you to model my next line okay Sakura? thanks bye ttyl"

"Tomoyo!" Sakura texted back but she knew there was no changing her mind. "Not again…" thought Sakura.

"Sakura…? Sakura Kinomoto? asked a voice on Sakura left side.

As she looked up, her emerald eyes met a pair of amber ones.

An incredibly handsome man with messy dark brown hair and the deepest amber eyes was staring at her. Sakura hadn't seen anyone as handsome as him for 10 years.

"Yes?" asked Sakura.

"Sakura… It is you." the man said softly and all of a sudden she was pulled into his warm embrace.

"Sakura." said the stranger in a soft whisper.

"What, what's going on?" said Sakura in confusion

She was confused but at the same time that man's presence, it felt so familiar to her and for some reason Sakura closed her eyes and hugged the man back. When she was finally released Sakura looked at him again.

That face, those eyes… they're so familiar. Her eyes widened in realization, but it can't be. Sakura gazed at the man, tears filling her eyes.

"S...S… Syoaran?" asked Sakura slowly, not believing it.

"Yes, Sakura it's me." said Syaoran.

Tears threatened to fall from her eyes. "But I can't believe it, it's been ten years."

"I know." Syaoran lowered his head. "I'm so sorry Sakura. It's just… I went into seclusion and I wasn't even allowed to speak with my own mother. I was in seclusion for 6 years training and then when I got out, my mother sent me straight to England for university with specific instructions on not to contact anyone until I was finished, I got back two days ago I was on my way to…

Sakura interrupted him "Syaoran I…"

Suddenly there was a loud cry coming from the side and they both turned to see what was going on. Nadeshiko was running towards them crying with a scraped knee.

"Oh… sweetheart what happened?" asked Sakura as she wiped the tears from her face and picked up Nadeshiko.

Syaoran's eyes widened when he saw the little girl and the affection Sakura and her shared.

"I fell!" wailed Nadeshiko.

"You poor baby." said Sakura giving her a kiss trying to make her feel better and stop her from crying.

Suddenly there was a piece on gum in front of Nadeshiko, making her stop crying looking confused at what was happening.

"Here, have this, it will make you feel better." said Syaoran holding out the piece of gum.

Nadeshiko accepted the gum happily with a smile. "Now, what do you say?" asked Sakura.

"Umm… thank you mister!" said Nadeshiko wiping some of her tears.

"You're very welcome lovely lady. What's your name?" asked Syaoran with a sad smile.

Nadeshiko looked at Sakura for reassurance and Sakura just nodded her head. "Nadeshiko."

"What a pretty name for such a pretty girl." said Syaoran.

Nadeshiko smiled at this becoming more comfortable.

"Thank you Mr?" asked Nadeshiko.

"Li, but you can call me Syaoran." smiled Syaoran in reply.

"I was named after my grandmother! She was so beautiful and we have lots of her pictures!" said Nadeshiko out of excitement. Sakura just smiled as she put a band aid from her purse into Nadeshiko's hurt knee.

"There, you're all fine. Why don't you go and play, Mr. Li and I have to talk." said Sakura giving Nadeshiko a kiss on the nose.

"Okay!" smiled Nadeshiko, "Thank you for the gum Uncle Syaoran" said Nadeshiko as she hugged Syaoran's leg and ran away to the play set.

As she watched her run away Sakura sighed.

Syaoran's eyes shined with unshed tears as he asked, "Sakura, is that… your daughter?"
