Chapter 1
On a beautiful Saturday morning, Sakura woke up, flickering her eyes
open. She sat up in
her bed, stretching herself out. She turned to look at the sleeping
brown haired man that
laid beside her. She let out a small smile. Seeing this brown haired
man who was her
husband always brought a smile to her face. She gave him a gentle kiss
on his forehead.
With that, she quietly got out of bed. Slipping on a robe and putting
on some slippers, she
opened the curtains, flooding the room with the sun's bright rays.
She walked into the
kitchen, ready to begin her usual Saturday morning routine. About an
hour later, Sakura
was done making breakfast. Then, when Sakura placed her husband's breakfast
on the
table, he walked in as if he was cued. Sakura smiled when he walked
into the kitchen.
"Good morning, Syaoran." Sakura said.
"Good morning, Sakura." Syaoran, her husband, said. With that, he gave
her a kiss on the
cheek. He then sat at the breakfast table, ready to eat the breakfast
Sakura had prepared
for him. Sakura brought her breakfast over to the table and sat across
from him.
"Are you going to leave early for your training today?" Sakura asked.
"No. Not today." Syaoran said after chewing his pancake.
"Oh, okay." Sakura said with a smile. "It's still amazing how you still
have to train!"
Sakura said. "I mean, I thought that your training would be over."
"Well, I am going to be the Li clan leader in a year, and in order to
me to stay the future
Li clan leader, I have to keep in shape." Syaoran answered matter-of-factly.
"Yeah, I guess you're right." Sakura said, a hint of concern in her
voice. "It's just that
you come home so drained out sometimes. I worry about you...what if
you're training too
much?" Sakura asked, her eyes filled with worry.
"Sakura. I'm perfectly fine. Don't worry about me. And anyway, this
training is good for
me. It keeps me in shape and healthy, and this will help me a lot when
I become Li clan
leader." Syaoran said proudly. Sakura gave him a weak smile. Syaoran
got up from his
seat and put his empty plate in the sink. Seeing his wife so worried
about him made him
sad. He walked up to Sakura and placed his hand on her shoulder.
"Sakura. I know you're worried about me, but I'm fine." Syaoran said
softly. Sakura
looked at him, worry still present in her emerald eyes. She got up
from her seat and stood
in front of him.
"But what if you get hurt?" Sakura asked. Syaoran gave her a soft smile
and wrapped his
arms around her waist, pulling her close to him.
"Sakura. You know as well as I do that I won't get hurt. When I train,
everyone makes
sure that everything is safe so that I don't get hurt in any way. Have
I ever come home
with a broken bone?" Sakura blushed a bit.
"Well, no...but..."
"No buts. I promise you, Sakura. I won't get hurt. I've been training
for a very long time.
I can handle the training they give me. I promise you, I won't get
hurt." Syaoran said
softly. Sakura still looked at him with worried eyes, but soon gave
in. She just couldn't go
against him.
"Do you promise? You promise you won't get hurt?" Sakura asked. Syaoran
chuckled a
little.
"I promise." Syaoran said. With that, he kissed Sakura's soft lips.
When they separated,
Sakura smiled at him. She then let out a sigh. Syaoran smiled, then
looked at his watch.
"Well, Sakura. I better get going. If I'm late, my trainers will have
a fit." Syaoran said.
Sakura smiled.
"Okay then. You'll be home at the regular time right?" Sakura asked.
Syaoran picked up
the keys to his dark green convertible.
"Hmm...I should be coming home on time. If not, then I'll call you." Syaoran said.
"Okay." Sakura said as she handed him his duffel bag. Sakura walked
with Syaoran out
the door.
"See you later. I love you, Sakura." Syaoran said.
"I love you too, Syaoran." Sakura said. They gave each other a kiss
before Syaoran. Soon,
he got into his car and drove away to his training arena while Sakura
went back inside the
house to get her daily 'To-do' list.
// Somewhere near Sakura and Syaoran's house \\
A girl with long blonde hair watched as Syaoran pulled out of the driveway
and headed
for his training arena. When Syaoran was out of sight, the blonde hair
girl glared coldly at
Sakura. "If I can't have Syaoran, then no one can." she muttered. Having
said that, she
started up her silver Porsche and drove away.
// That same day - Lunchtime \\
Sakura was in the kitchen, fixing herself lunch. She sat down and began
to eat it. After
the first few bites, the phone rang. Sakura finished chewing and went
to answer the
phone.
"Hello, Sakura speaking."
"Hey, Sakura! It's Tomoyo."
"Oh, hey Tomoyo. What's up?"
"Nothing much. I just wanted to chat."
"Oh. Okay. About what?" Sakura asked, taking a bite out of her lunch.
"Well....I was dying to know...what are you doing for your one year
anniversary?"
Tomoyo asked excitedly.
"Umm...what...anniversary?" Sakura asked nervously.
"Oh my gosh. Sakura! Don't tell me you have amnesia or something. There
is no way that
Sakura Li is going to forget about her one year wedding anniversary!"
When Tomoyo
said that, Sakura let out a gasp.
"Oh my gosh!! Of course! Our wedding anniversary. How could I forget??"
Sakura said.
Sakura began to blush furiously. "Well, to answer your question...I
don't know yet."
Sakura said nervously.
"Well, why don't you start planning now? Your anniversary is next week,
ya know."
Tomoyo said. Sakura sighed.
"I know." Sakura said in a guilty tone of voice.
"Well, maybe you could....I dunno....give him hints about a romantic
evening or
something." Tomoyo suggested.
"What do you mean?" Sakura asked. Tomoyo giggled.
"You may be married to Syaoran now, but it sure hasn't changed you slowness."
Tomoyo
said, giggling. Sakura let out a nervous giggle while sweatdropping.
"I'm just kidding,
Sakura. Well, what I meant is that maybe you should plan on having
a romantic dinner for
two somewhere. And maybe you can give him a little hint about that
by, oh I don't know,
showing up at his training session and bringing him lunch or something."
Tomoyo said.
"Hmmm....that's a pretty good idea." Sakura said. "Thanks so much. I'll
start planning
right now." Sakura said excitedly. "Thanks for helping me out." Sakura
said. Tomoyo let
out a satisfied chuckle.
"No problem." Tomoyo said. "Bye, Sakura."
"Bye, Tomoyo." With that, Sakura hung up the phone. Without having second
thoughts,
Sakura prepared Syaoran's lunch. After she finished making it, Sakura
wrapped it up, got
into her white Mercedes and drove to Syaoran's training arena with
the lunch she had
made for him.
// Shortly after Sakura left \\
The girl with long blonde hair pulled up in front of Sakura and Syaoran's
house. She
stared at the house to see if anyone was home. By the looks of it,
Sakura had stepped out
of the house. The girl got out of her car and walked towards the house.
She began to look
for an open window so she could climb through it to get inside the
house. Soon enough,
she found a window that had been left open. She carefully climbed through
the window
and finally made it inside the house. She tiptoed around the house,
looking all around her.
She walked into the living room. It was beautifully decorated and quite
clean. She then
walked into what seemed to be Sakura and Syaoran's bedroom. Again,
the room was big
with beautiful drapes. She looked around the room and spotted Sakura
and Syaoran's
wedding picture. They looked happy together. The blonde girl's eyes
began to fill with
tears, but they were not tears of happiness. They were rather tears
of hate and sadness.
"Damn Sakura." she muttered. "Why did you have to come back? Why did
you have to
take Syaoran away from me?? He was mine! All mine!! But all of a sudden,
you came
back from the dead...or wherever you were. You stole him away from
me!" she cried out.
Tears began to roll down her cheeks. "I hate you, Sakura. You don't
deserve him! He
doesn't deserve you either. He deserves me. I'm the only one for him."
she said. "You'll
pay for this, Sakura Kinomoto. You'll see. I'll get Syaoran back."
She sniffed a bit, trying
to stop crying. She bitterly looked at Sakura and Syaoran's wedding
picture. "Sakura
Kinomoto, I think it's time for you to pay a visit. It's time for you
to return to the dead."
