CHAPTER ONE: I'll Wait For You Always
(A/N: This is a totally S+S fic.I'll try to add a little bit of E+T in it of course! I'm a supporter of them too! Here's some background information. Sakura, Tomoyo, Syaoran, Eriol, and Meiling are all seventeen and are in high school. Oh, sorry, there is no magic involved in this story. Gomen, Gomen.)
It was a bright and sunny morning in Japan and in the small friendly town of Tomoeda; Sakura Kinomoto was late, again unfortunetly. Despite Kero's constant yelling and the alarm's annoying rings, the young auburn haired girl was still asleep.
"Sakura!!!" Kero yelled again, this time flinging the covers off his friend. The girl mumbled something incoherently and rolled over.
"SAKURA!!" Kero roared. Sakura blinked sleepily into a pair of black eyes.
"Arggh!" She shrieked, sitting straight up. She looked down and saw Kero. "Oh, it's you. Ohayo Kero." She smiled sweetly. Kero wanted to yell at her, but decided against it after seeing the clock.
Before the guardian could say another word, a shriek and a crash was heard. He peered over the bed and saw Sakura flying on the floor. She jumped up quickly and dove for her closet, throwing her school uniform on.
"Kero, why didn't you call me?" she complained and she hopped on one foot to get her socks on.
"I did," Kero started, but was cut off shortly by Sakura grabbing her backpack and running for the door. "Hey, get me something to eat before you," Too late. Sakura was already out and her loud "ohayo"s was heard from downstairs. "-Go." Kero sighed and flew to the window and looked out. His tummy growled loudly and he patted it, waiting for everyone to leave the house so he could get something to eat.
"Onii-san, you never wait for me!" Sakura cried as she skated after her brother who was heading for college.
"If I do, I'm bound to be late, Kaiju." Touya retorted. He dogged easily as her little sister raised a fist threateningly. Well, she couldn't stop on him; she needed her feet to skate to school, fast.
"I'm not a Kaiju!" She shouted after him as he turned to enter his college. (A/N: the college is a nearby college; it's really great, okay? Sakura's HS is farther off)
"Hoee!!! I'm going to be late!" Sounds of her skates slamming onto ground could be heard as she skated her fastest to school. Please, please, don't let be late, she prayed. Yanking the door open, she sighed with relief when she saw the teacher wasn't there.
"Ohayo Sakura!" Tomoyo called. Sakura smiled back at the friendly face. Her best friend since fourth grade, Tomoyo was still her old self with long wavy raven hair with warm amethyst eyes.
"Ohayo Tomoyo," She replied. She smiled and greeted her other friends. "Ohayo Eriol. Ohayo Meiling. Ohayo Sy-," She was cut off by Eriol waving to her that the teacher was coming. She quickly sat down in her seat before the teacher came in.
"Miss Kinomoto, I'm surprised you're on time today," The Tereda-sensai joked playfully. Sakura grinned. He smiled back and class started.
Meanwhile, in class Tomoyo was glancing at her best friend worriedly. She had clearly heard Sakura about to greet Syaoran. Had she forgotten Syaoran was in Hong Kong? She sighed inwardly, knowing that her friend missed him. Eriol watched this in his seat behind the raven-haired girl. It hurt him to see his girlfriend worried over her best friend.
"Yay! I'm so glad class is over!" Sakura cried, stretching her arms as the last bell sounded. Tomoyo grinned and nodded in agreement. "Let's go and get something to eat, shall we?"
"Sure, Sakura. Eriol, Meiling, you guys coming?" Tomoyo asked.
"I'm in," Eriol called. Tomoyo smiled sweetly at him before turning her attention to the Chinese girl. Meiling sighed and shook her head.
"I won't go today. Gomen guys. I just have this feeling I'm needed at home. Gomen. Another time maybe?" Meiling apologized. Sakura immediately shook her head.
"Iie, it's okay. I just hope there's nothing wrong at home." Sakura answered sincerely. Meiling smiled gratefully.
"Hai. See you Monday," Meiling answered as the friends parted routes. "Have fun!"
"Sure, you too, Meiling!" The three friends called back. Meiling smiled and waved. A second later, she was gone from the bend. Sakura, Tomoyo, and Eriol headed off to the coffee shop near the school where they went often. Seated comfortably in dark green chairs, Sakura sipped her rosemary hip tea with delight.
"Ah.. Nothing like a good cup of tea after a darn math test." She sighed. Tomoyo giggled.
"It shouldn't have been that bad after my tutoring was it?" She teased. Sakura quickly apologized. Tomoyo shook off the apology with a wave of her hand. "I know my math isn't as well as Syaoran's." She added. Sakura immediately blushed at the name and Eriol and Tomoyo chuckled.
"How is my descendent doing?" Eriol asked with his hand intertwined with Tomoyo's. Sakura grinned, seeing the clasped hands.
"He's fine in Hong Kong. Called him last night and he said he'll be back next school year." She answered. Sakura looked at the clasped hands again and her mind wandered off to the time when she and Syaoran were at this coffee shop for tea before he left to Hong Kong.
FLASHBACK
"You're leaving to Hong Kong?" Sakura cried. Syaoran nodded miserably.
"Hai. Mother and the elder clan need to talk about some situations about me being the Li clan leader," He explained, gently. He didn't want to cause his dear Sakura any harm. He waited for her reply patiently. Sakura tried to hold in her tears. Smiling softly, Syaoran pulled her over gently and hugged her tightly. She rested her chin on his shoulder, breathing in the nice smell he always had.
"Gomen, I shouldn't be so emotional." She apologized. That brought out a smile from Syaoran and he pulled away gently. He wiped her tears with his finger.
"That's what I like about you, Sakura. Will you wait for me? Will you wait until I come back?" He asked gently.
END FLASHBACK. BACK TO PRESENT
Sakura smiled gently to herself. Of course she would wait for him. She always would. Lost in her own thoughts, Eriol and Tomoyo shared a worried glance.
"Sakura?" Tomoyo asked gently.
"Hoe?" Sakura answered, looking into a pair of concerned amethyst eyes. She smiled. "I'm fine, Tomoyo. Really." She assured her best friend. "I should be getting home; I still have to cook dinner." Excusing herself, Sakura walked quickly outside.
"Worried?" Eriol asked his girlfriend. Tomoyo sighed and leaned on his shoulder.
"And you aren't?" She retorted gently, watching the door where Sakura exited.
Sakura found herself in the park. She shivered, not from the cold breeze, but from the many memories contained in the park. She sighed and ran her hand over a swing. Unable to take all the emotions running through her, she broke down and sat in the swing, letting the wind carry her sorrow. She would wait for him. She would. She always would, she promised firmly.
Meanwhile, Meiling arrived at her apartment that Syaoran had rented since he came to Japan in fourth grade. Unlocking the door, she dove for the phone that was ringing shrilly.
"Moshi moshi?" She said breathlessly. Colored drain from the Chinese girl's face. "What do you mean-," She started againg. Meiling's ruby eyes widenned. "No, not Syaoran.." Her voice trailed off. Running out, Meiling didn't bother to put the phone back on the cradle. Voices from the other end could be heard in Chinese.
