Author's Note:

Okay. I wrote this story – first two chapters – a LONG time ago. I submitted it in fanfiction. But I couldn't find time to update. I felt so ashamed, so I'm resubmitting and re-working on the chapters again! YAY! So do enjoy the first two chaps (:

This is a very boring author's note so if you would like to get straight to the story without the boring explanation behind it, ignore this. Okay I have to say I'm DEFINITELY not an experienced writer and all. This story will have nothing to do with the Clow Cards, Kero, Yue, etc; It's a story about a real life; reality. Okay I shall stop talking rot and get to the story. This story is partly true edited at some parts . Dedicated to Kenneth. (: Anyways, enjoy the story and review! (:

Diary of Sakura Kinomoto

Chapter 1: The Other Boy

Dear Diary,

My name is Sakura Kinomoto and I am 17 years old this year. I am currently studying in Tomoeda High School. Tomoyo Daidouji was my best friend since kindergarten. At school, I'm not really counted as the most popular girl, but my status isn't too low either. At least some cute boys go after us sometimes! Haha.. Anyway, before you think I'm a boy-hopper of anything, I have to tell you that I am currently boyfriend-less but don't worry, I have my forms of entertainment. Recently, out of boredom, Tomoyo introduced me to an online game in which I am currently addicted to now. So that basically is my form of entertainment and accompaniment. Anyways, I live with –

"KAIJUU! BREAKFAST IS READY!"

As I was saying, I live with my brother, Touya, and my father, Fujitaka. My mother passed away when I was very young so I cannot remember much about her. My father told me many stories about her but sometimes it's just not enough to know. Anyway, what really angers me is that my brother always bullies me! My father always just stood at one side laughing, saying "Its sisterly and brotherly love!" Sometimes I feel he just doesn't understand.

"KAIJUU! YOU ARE GOING TO BE LATE FOR SCHOOL IF YOU DON'T COME DOWN NOW!"

Okay anyway I gotta go now. More later!

Love,

Sakura

Sighing, I closed my diary and placed it in my drawer. "I'M COMING!" I yelled back at my brother. I changed into my school uniform and headed to the kitchen.

"Ohio, otou-san!" I greeted my father.

I slumped onto the chair and glared at my brother as he placed a plate of pancakes on the table.

"Onii-chan! I'm 17 years old this year! You have to stop calling me Kaijuu! I have a name you know. Its Sakura. S-A-K-U-R-A. Got that?"

Touya just snorted and sat down on his chair, reading the newspaper.

"Hmph." I shoved the pancakes down my throat quickly.

"Not surprising that you eat like that if you are expecting it from a Kaijuu, right Kaijuu?"

"ONII-CHAN! ITS SAKURA!" I said as I stomped hard on Touya's foot. I mean really hard. Sometimes he's just so mean!

Fujitaka was standing at one side as usual, chuckling away.

"Grrrr…" I finished my last bits of pancake and thanked otou-san for the meal.

"I'm going to meet Tomoyo on the way to school! Sayonara!"

"Sayonara, Sakura-chan!" Fujitaka smiled and waved.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Tomoyo leaned back against the lamp pole and glanced at her watch. Sakura-chan will never stop her habit of being late!

"Tomoyo-chan!"

Tomoyo turned her head. Sakura was running towards her and waving. Tomoyo smiled back and waved back to her.

"Tomoyo-chan. Sorry I – "

"Oh nevermind, Sakura-chan!" Tomoyo interrupted. "Being your friend for so long, I'm really getting used to it."

"Gomen…"

"Come on. Lets go! We're going to be late. We promised Mrs. Kaitsuke that we would help her to get ready for her Music lesson!"

"Hai!"

XXXXXXXXXX

Sakura and Tomoyo were moving the instruments to the Music Room.

Carrying a trumpet, Tomoyo asked Sakura, "Remember the online game I introduced to you?"

"Hai?"

"How do you find it?"

"Tomoyo-chan!" Sakura exclaimed. "It's my only form of entertainment! Of course it's nice!"

"Hohohoho!" Tomoyo laughed. "Glad to know."

XXXXXXXXXX

As the two girls were happily chatting, someone had just arrived in Japan's Narita Airport.

Picking up a boy's luggage, an old man said, "Welcome back Master! It has been a while since you came to Japan! About eight to ten years? The limousine is waiting outside. Shall we go?"

The boy nodded and asked, "Where's Mei Lin?"

"Master, she is at the mansion waiting for you."

"Isn't she supposed to be in school or something?"

"Yes, she skipped it today to await your arrival and help you unpack your things in the mansion."

"I see…" That girl. The boy thought as he shook his head. Just an excuse to skip school.

XXXXXXXXXX

The school bell rang as the late students scattered to rush to their classrooms.

"Sakura, where's Mei Lin?" Tomoyo whispered to Sakura who was sitting next to her as Mr. Tashika took attendance.

"I don't know." Sakura whispered back. "But she did mention something about welcoming her cousin from some other country yesterday. However …"

"However what?"

Sakura rubbed the back of her neck. "I was too busy thinking about the online game I didn't listen too closely."

Tomoyo sweat dropped. She was beginning to think introducing Sakura to an online game was not a good idea.

Hmmm. Tomoyo thought. I don't remember Mei Lin mentioning any of her cousins.

"Sakura?" Tomoyo asked. "Did Mei Lin ever mention anything about that cousin?"

"Well," Sakura said. "I don't think so. But I do remember she told me only yesterday that he used to live in Japan but moved to Hong Kong and now he's coming back to Japan to stay for a few years."

"Oh. So that means we probably never seen him before right?"

"I guess so." Sakura replied.

XXXXXXXXXX

The boy arrived at a mansion and got out of the car. Rubbing his feet on the mat, he opened the door to face a huge, dark and quiet home…

"SYAOOOOORAN!"

Mei Lin jumped onto Syaoran as he crumbled down onto the floor.

"Mei Lin," Syaoran said as he tried to get up. "Is this what you call a warm welcome!"

"SYAORAN!" Mei Lin screamed again. "I'M SO GLAD TO SEE YOU AFTER SO LONG!"

Clearly, she was too happy.

As she sat on him, she realised Syaoran was trying to say something.

"Get… off…Can't…breathe…"

"Oh?"

She then realised she was practically squashing Syaoran. She quickly jumped up.

"Oops."

Syaoran growled as he stood up, taking a deep breath. She can be so blur sometimes.

"So…" Mei Lin said. "Are you coming with me to school tomorrow?"

"TOMORROW?!" Syaoran shouted. "That's way too fast."

"Well too bad, Li Syaoran." Mei Lin said with a smile as she began walking up the stairs. "Sometimes even rich people like you can't have your own way. I'll tell someone to bring your luggage up. Tata!"

Syaoran growled again as he bent down and opened his luggage and took his laptop out. Leaving his luggage at the door, he carried his laptop to his room.

Everything was the same as the last time he had stayed in that same room. He smiled as he placed his laptop on the table and turned it on.

He opened a window in his laptop and frowned as he looked at his friend's list. She isn't online… Sighing, Syaoran was about to close the window when Mei Lin poked her head into the room and said, "Syaoran, dinner will be ready in – " Mei Lin noticed the window opened in Syaoran's laptop.

"What's that?" Mei Lin asked curiously.

"Considering that you owe me one for almost squashing me to death earlier, and that I'm going to tell you what is on my computer, what do you owe me?" Syaoran grinned.

"Ugh! You – " Mei Lin said as she threw a pillow at him.

"I what?" Syaoran grinned again. "So tell me. What do I get out of it?"

Mei Lin took one look at Syaoran, then at the computer.

"ERGH! I can't stand it. Curiosity kills the cat for goodness sake. In this case, my curiosity is killing me. I'll make you chocolate pudding for desert if you tell me."

Syaoran didn't say anything. He was still staring at Mei Lin and grinning.

"What!" Mei Ling exclaimed. "That's not enough! FINE. Chocolate pudding AND ice-cream rolls. Deal?"

"You got yourself a deal, M'am." Syaoran smiled.

"You know you're wrong Mei Lin." He said as he showed her the window. "Sometimes rich people like me can have their way. As long as they know how to do it."

"Fine." Mei Lin replied. "But you're still going to school tomorrow."

Before Syaoran could fight back, Mei Lin quickly interrupted. "What is this? It's pointless to just show me this. What on earth is it?"

"Surely you can see this is an online game!"

"It is?"

Syaoran sweat dropped.

"Okay listen closely and don't interrupt or not it will take a seriously long time to teach your little brain about this online game." Syaoran said.

"HEY!" Mei Lin shouted as she threw another pillow at him.

XXXXXXXXXX

"Hey, Sakura." Tomoyo said as she and Sakura walked out of the school. "My Mom will be home late today. Do you mind if I come over?"

"Sure! We can do something fun like… like…"

"Like?"

"The Online Game!" Sakura exclaimed happily.

Tomoyo sunk to the floor. Introducing that online game to Sakura seriously wasn't a good idea.

Maybe it is really good after all. I haven't played it before.

"Okay, fine." Tomoyo stood up. "Show me what on earth is so fun about it."

"Then there's no time to lose!" Sakura said as she dragged Tomoyo towards her house.

XXXXXXXXXX

"THIS is it?" Tomoyo said in shock. "THIS is what is so fun and addictive!"

"Err…"

"Walking around rooms and talking to strangers is what you call FUN?"

"Well…"

"Sakura, what on earth is so fun about it!"

"Tomoyo," Sakura said as she opened her friends list. "If the so called 'strangers' I talk to are nice. It's really fun. And by the way, you introduced me to this!"

"Saku- "

Before Tomoyo could finish her sentence, Sakura let out a squeal of delight.

"XIAOLANG! He's online!"

Tomoyo sat there for a moment. Pieces were being put together in her head.

Then suddenly, she too, let out a squeal of delight.

"OH MY GOSH!" Tomoyo exclaimed. "MY LITTLE SAKURA HAS GROWN UP AT LAST!"

"What?" Sakura was confused. "What grown up? What …What?"

"My little Sakura has found herself an Internet Love! Meaning, your first boyfriend! I'm SO HAPPY for you!" Tomoyo squealed.

"Tomoyo…"

"Oh Sakura! Where does he live? What colour is his hair? What colour is his eyes? Is he handsome?"

"Tomoyo…"

"How old is he? How tall is he? Is he rich? Do you like him? Oh. What on earth am I talking about. Of course you like him!"

"Tomoyo…" Sakura's voice grew louder.

"Is he a sweet person? Does he send you little sweet gifts? Is he – "

"TOMOYO!"

Tomoyo stopped blabbering away when Sakura shouted at her.

"Hai?" Tomoyo replied as if Sakura was asking her about the weather.

"Tomoyo. Let me get this clear with you. I do not know what XiaoLang's hair colour, eye colour, height or age and he is definitely not my boyfriend. What on earth gives you that idea?"

"You were so happy to see him online…" Tomoyo replied. "Gomen…"

The two sat there for a moment then Tomoyo burst out.

"But you like him right!"

Sakura looked at her for a moment. I just can't hide my feelings from my best friend. Sigh.

"Yeah. Okay. Fine." Sakura replied. "I like him. I like him. I like him. OKAY?"

"MY LITTLE SAKURA HAS GROWN UP!"

"Okay, okay." Sakura said, blushing. "Stop it with the 'my little Sakura'. I'm 17 years old and I have a right to like someone you know!"

Tomoyo couldn't help but smile. "Awww…Come on! Send him a message! Say I love you or something!"

"Sheesh! I doubt he even likes me." Sakura said as she clicked on XiaoLang's name. "Maybe I'll just say 'Hey' or something."

"You're just too scared to tell him!" Tomoyo teased. "Naw… its okay. I have faith one day you will have enough courage to tell him!" Tomoyo went into her dreamy-like state.

As Sakura typed in "Konnichiwa, XiaoLang-kun!", Tomoyo was staring into space, muttering words like "make a dress…first date… … matching dress!"

As Sakura clicked the 'Send' button, she heard Tomoyo mutter "make clothes…little baby…"

"TOMOYO!" Sakura threw a pillow at her which snapper her out of her dreamy-like state. "How dare you think that far!"

"Hohohohoho! It's called fantasizing miss!"

Sakura was about to throw another pillow at Tomoyo when she heard, "DiDing!"

The sound made when a new message was received. Sakura dropped down the pillow and went to open the message immediately.

It said:

"Konnichiwa CherryBlossom-chan! I forgot to tell you in my previous message I was flying to Japan. Now, I am currently in Japan. In case you are wondering, I was previously in Hong Kong. But I was born in Japan, so I do know a bit of Japanese. I went to Hong Kong when I was 8 years old. Anyway, enough about me. You live in Japan too right? You speak Japanese."

"HE'S IN JAPAN! HE'S IN JAPAN!" Sakura squealed excitedly as she squeezed Tomoyo's arm. Hong Kong and Japan… sounds familiar… BUT WHO CARES! HE'S IN JAPAN! "HE'S IN JAPAN! HE'S IN JAPAN!"

"Who's the one in love now?" Tomoyo smirked. "Remember when I first fell in love with Eriol? I very much behaved like that. Now my little Sakura has learnt from me!"

Sakura was too happy to be angry at Tomoyo. Ignoring what she said, she typed in a quick reply:

"Hai. I live in Japan. You are around the same age as me right? I'm 17 years old this year. It would be really coincidental if you went to the same school as me!"

She clicked the 'Send' button and did some sort of jig around her room, shouting, "HE'S IN JAPAN! HE'S IN JAPAN! HE'S IN JAPAN! HE'S IN JAPAN! HE'S IN JAPAN!"

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"SYAORAN!" Mei Lin was squealing excitedly. "MY LITTLE SYAORAN HAS FOUND LOVE!"

"Oh please." Syaoran said, blushing. "I doubt she even likes me. Mustn't keep my hopes up."

"Aww… don't say that, Little Cousin." Mei Lin exclaimed. "XiaoLang is such a CUTE name! And besides, that CherryBlossom girl seems nice."

"DiDing!"

Syaoran opened the new message quickly:

"Hai. I live in Japan. You are around the same age as me right? I'm 17 years old this year. It would be really coincidental if you went to the same school as me!"

Mei Lin smiled. "See? Its fate! She's even the same age as you!"

Syaoran quickly replied:

"I'm also 17 years old this year! I just got into Japan, but someone already arrange for me to go to a school. What school are you in?"

Mei Ling watched him click the 'Send' button and smirked. "Sheesh. Even my fierce little cousin who isn't afraid of anything is afraid to admit your feelings! Just say "I LOVE YOU! Be my girlfriend!"

Syaoran sweat dropped. If only, Syaoran thought. It could be that easy.

Mei Lin thought for a moment and said, "Okay, maybe that's a little too straightforward. Anyway, tell you got to go. Now. I told you about dinner like thirty minutes ago. The food is getting cold."

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"DiDing!"

The message read:

"I'm also 17 years old this year! I just got into Japan, but someone already arrange for me to go to a school. What school are you in?"

Sakura was about to reply the 'You have a new message' bell rang again.

The message read:

"Gomenasai! I have to go now. See you! Tell me what school you are in tomorrow!"

Sakura frowned. She really wanted to know if he was in the same school as her. Then, it would really be fate. Never mind… I'll ask him another time…

Dear Diary,

I know there is something about him. Something special. Sigh. If only he had enough time to tell me what school he was in. After all… he might even be in the same class as me. Fate. That's it. Am I kidding myself? What are the chances of him being in the same school as me? Let alone in the same class? I'm kidding myself alright. Why am I so in love with him? Am I really? Or is it merely desperation to get a boyfriend? Anyway, I'll just hope; pray. Anything. Sigh… I'll ask him. I will.

Love,

Sakura
