Chapter 1: The Past and the Letter

Thank you (xcursedstarx) for beta-reading this and editing it! I Made this story cuz I had no more ideas for my other one….so If anyone wants to help me with the other….thanks!

"Hey…I'm Kinomoto Sakura….call me Kinomoto… I'm 17…..go to school at Seijou High…and I'm not liking it one bit….by now you must be thinking 'why does she sounds so depressed?'…….well it all started 6 years ago……." A girl wearing all black with dull green eyes stated.

(A/N: Seijou High has no Uniform in this story. Only a very STRiCT dress code..like rules ex. No skirts shorter than mid-thigh or something..)

. . . Flashback . . .

"SYAORAN!!" A girl with pretty green eyes ran after the bus with a pink teddy bear with wings in her hands.

"…SAKURA?!" He yelled as he opened the window of the bus he was leaving on.

"I…I know how I feel!" She said as she raised the teddy bear up to the window. "My number one…is you, Syaoran!"

"…Thank you." He said as he reached out to take the bear. "Can I name this bear…Sakura?"

"Sure…Can I name the bear you gave me, Syaoran?"

"Yes." He said as the bus started to move. "I'll come back!"

"When?!" she screamed.

"When the things I have to do in Hong Kong are finished!"

"When will that be?!" Tears started forming in her eyes as she ran to keep up with the bus.

"It'll take a while! Will you wait for me?!"

"..yes!" She couldn't hold back the tears anymore. 'I'll wait..forever if I have to…after all….Syaoran is the one I love the most…"

. . . End Flashback . . .

"…After he left I kept thinking that 'today I might see him again!'……that kept me from breaking down in tears…..now I'm just shutting myself from the world…….but then one day…."

. . . Flashback . . .

"See you later!!" Yelled a girl dressed in a middle school uniform. "Touya's gonna tease me for oversleeping, even though I'm in middle school!" she said as she put on her shoe.

As she was walk—no, RUNNING she suddenly stopped. She saw a little pink teddy bear with wings.

"Syaoran…?"

"I've finally finished the paperwork in Hong Kong…to move here. From now on, I'll be able to stay, in Tomoeda." He said wearing the middle school uniform.

"Really?'

"Yeah."

"So I don't have to settle for letters or phone calls anymore?"

"Not anymore."

Tears started to form in her eyes. "Then we'll be together…FOREVER!" as she hugged Syaoran.

"I promise I'll never leave you again…Sakura."

. . . End Flashback . . .

A/N: The previous flashbacks were taken from the CCS: Master of the Clow manga book 6! Except the 'ill never leave you again quote' that's mine.)

"He came back for sixth grade…but then he left at the end of that year…no one knows why. He just got up and left. That was five years ago. I'm still thinking about him and I can't live without him. He's my life, and he's not here. So that's why I act and look this way. So here I am, 17 years old and still thinking of the past. I've rejected each and every guy that's asked me out and don't even care about the stupid love letters I get everyday. I'm saving my old heart for him because I know he'll come back. He promised."

PresentNext Day

"Sakura!!"
"Oh……..hey Tomoyo..."

"You're early!! By 10 minutes!!!"

"Yeah…..so?.... What's your point?......."

"Mou, Sakura. What's wro---nevermind I think I know."

"If you know……then why aren't you leaving me alone…..…" She held back her tears.

"Because I have a surprise!! HEY ERIOL GET IN HERE AND TELL HER!!"

Sakura's eyes went from her desk to the navy haired man coming in through the door. He smirked as he held up a light green envelope addressed "To Sakura." Sakura's eyes widened at the words. She got up and snatched it away before Eriol could do anything. She ran to her favorite cherry blossom tree, climbed the branches, and opened the letter.

Dear Sakura,

I know that you've still been thinking of me. Eriol's been telling me about you. Listen, I'm sorry that I had to leave all of a sudden. I know I made that promise with you, but my mother made me come to see Shiefa's wedding. I'm really sorry! I am! And by now you're wondering why it's been three years…well, one thing led to another and Fanren and Feimei got married. Talk about a BIG family, haha. Well, for these past 3 years all I could do was think about you. The elders have made me go into training again and they wouldn't let me send you any letters. So don't worry, ok? Be happy and cheerful like the old Sakura I used to know! Oh, Ja ne. They're calling me. I just hope this gets to Eriol, and then to you. Goodbye for now, love. I think I hear Fuutie scratching at the door……

Love Always, Syaoran

Tears started to run down her cheeks. 'He's alright…I've finally heard from him…' She quickly dried her face and waited a few minutes so her eyes could go back to normal. She walked back into class very cheerful. And I mean it. VERY. She had an ear-to-ear grin plastered on her face. The ENTiRE class was bewildered by her. She used to be the depressed kid who sat staring out the window. Now she was happy again!

Lunch

"Sakura-chan!!" She exclaimed with stars in her eyes.

"H—hai??..." 'Just great, Tomoyo's gonna want to know what happened….'

"Well?"

"Well what?"

"What did the letter say?!"

"I don't think that's any of your business Tomoyo."

'Oh, it IS my business Sakura…Because I know something you don't. Too bad I can't tell you anything.'

"Uh…Tomoyo-chan? Are you ok? You don't normally space out like that…"

"Oh…I'm fine! There's the bell! Let's get to class!"

"H-hai…" 'I wonder when he's coming back…he never said…'

Afterschool ((A/N:: yeah yeah I rushed it so what. My fanfic.))

"I'M HOME!!"

"Welcome home, Kaijuu!"

"Touya onii-chan…SAKURA NO KAIJUU!!" She stomped on his foot.

"ITAI SAKURA!!" Sakura giggled at his remark. Touya was 20 and was going to college but he was on break. Their dad was on a business trip so Touya was her guardian for the time being.

"Hey Sakura? What's happened? Something happened to you."

"Nani?"

"You're acting……cheerful and bubbly….."

"H…Hoe? Oh..well….its about…."

"Lemme guess, that gaki?"

"SYAORAN NO GAKI!" She stomped on his foot again.

"Well whatever happened it made you happy again. Glad to hear about it. Anyways Daidouji called and said she wanted to take you shopping. She'll be here in an hour."

"Hai nii-chan!"

Sakura went up to her room to get ready.

DING DONG
Touya got up to open the door.

"KAIJUU IT'S FOR YOU!!"

Sakura jumped down the stairs and landed gracefully on Touya's foot.

"Sakura no kaijuu, baka. Hey Tomoy---Eriol-kun? What are you doing here?....Nevermind I think I know. Let's get going!"

"Uh…ok Sakura-chan. Bye Touya-san!!"

The three of them walked into Tomoyo's oh so beautiful limo. No one talked through out the entire ride because Eriol decided to turn chibi-mode and stay far far away from the two.

At the Mall

"Sakura-chan Let's go in here first! And then over there…and then over there…..and then over…."

'What the hell is she trying to do to me….' Eriol thought as he and Sakura sweatdropped.

"KAWAII SAKURA-CHAN WE ARE SO BUYING THIS FOR YOU!!"

"Tomoyo, you said that for every single outfit I've tried on. Can you stop buying me clothes…." Sakura said as they were entering the last store Tomoyo wanted to go in.

"No can do Sakura. Gotta look good, you know!"

"Look good for what…."

"I dunno. You just do!"

"Can we go home now?!" Eriol muffled through the hundreds of bags he was carrying.
(A/N: MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA I made Eriol carry EVERY SINGLE bag. I am evil.)

"Hai Eriol. Let's go Sakura-chan."

"Hai."

In front of Sakura's House

"Bye Tomoyo, Eriol! See you at school!"

"Bye Sakura!!"

Sakura was about to open the door when Touya opened it.

"Kaijuu, you have a visitor." He said glaring.

Sakura didn't notice the glare and walked in. To her surprise, sitting RIGHT THERE on the couch was……..

and I'll stop there for now.
