Chapter 1: Can't Change the Truth

16-year-old Kinomoto, Sakura opened her eyes and shot straight out of bed, when she heard her alarm clock go off. She got out of bed and headed for the bathroom. 16-year-old Daidouji, Tomoyo, her favorite/only cousin not to mention best friend, just came out and saw her coming.

"Ohayo (good morning), Sakura-chan!"

"Ohayo, Tomoyo-chan!" she said lazily.

"Sakura, my mom has our uniforms downstairs, so head down once you're done!"

"Alright, arigato (thank you) Tomoyo!" she said before yawning.

Tomoyo left to go downstairs and Sakura went inside. Tomoyo went into the kitchen and found her mother, Sonomi.

Tomoyo kissed her mom on the cheek, "Ohayo, okaa-san (mother)!"

"Ohayo, sweetie! Here's your uniform!" She handed Tomoyo the outfit.

The outfit was a white top with a huge red bow in the middle, and a red mini-skirt to match the bow. Tomoyo was about to head back upstairs until her mother called.

"Oh Tomoyo?"

Tomoyo turned around.

"Can you give this to Sakura; she's probably going to dress up like a guy again." She held a uniform that was a plane white shirt and black pants.

Tomoyo took the uniform, "Sure okaa-san!"

Tomoyo walked upstairs to Sakura's room, she was already back since no one was in the bathroom. Tomoyo knocked first, knowing Sakura might have gotten a little upset, and then entered. Sakura was sitting at her desk staring at a picture of her whole family:

Her father, Her mother, Her older brother, and Herself

Her mother died when Sakura was only 3-years-old and her father and brother died from a car accident about 11 months ago. Sakura then lived with her cousin Tomoyo and Auntie Sonomi. Sakura didn't even notice Tomoyo come in. Tomoyo saw the sad look on her face and knew she was thinking of her family, again!

"Hey Sakura!"

Sakura finally came back down to Earth, "Oh… hey Tomoyo!"

"Here, I brought you, your uniform"

"Arigato!"

"Sakura, you should really think about wearing your girl clothes again! People will think you're a guy, like the last school we went to!"

Sakura who went back to her daydreaming didn't hear a word that came out of Tomoyo's mouth, "HUH? … oh yeah, yeah right, Tomoyo."

"SAKURA! DID YOU HEAR ME?! Sakura ever since, Uncle Fujitaka and Touya past… SAKURA ARE YOU LISTENING TO ME?! Sakura ever since, Uncle Fujitaka and Touya past away you've been out of it! You've even started behaving differently and wearing guy's clothes!"

Sakura wasn't listening to anything, she was just dressing into her uniform, she looked into the mirror and believe me you can mistake her for a guy. She's a flat-chested A-Cup, had shoulder-length auburn hair, and was able to hide all emotions from her face. She even hid her voice low enough for a guy. Although, she did make a hot guy. (A/N: I'm not saying she's not a hot girl…its just you can mistake her for a real hot guy…also just saying this, I've seen in one anime there was a guy named Sakura…and there's nothing wrong with that) She brushed her shoulder-length hair and swung her backpack over her shoulder. Tomoyo finally stopped talking and looked at the time, 7:03 am. She still needed to get ready. She ran out of Sakura's room and got dressed and brushed her hair, within 15 minutes flat. They needed to get to Tomoeda High, early so they can register in the new school. Tomoyo came downstairs and saw Sakura eating toast and her mom getting herself some food.

Sonomi asked her only niece, "Sakura-chan, why do you dress up as a guy? You won't be able to get a boyfriend. I want lots of grandchildren!"

Sakura turned her head so they couldn't see her disgusted face as she thought, As if I would get with a guy, besides mostly all guys are rude, arrogant jerks who don't give a damn about a girl… just the sex!

"Yeah whatever!" she replied.

With that Sakura got up and started walking towards Tomoeda High. Tomoyo and Sakura were going to be in the same class. That morning, Li, Syaoran was talking with his best friend/cousin, Hiragizawa, Eriol.

"Hey Syaoran, did you hear?"

"What?"

"We're getting two new students in our class! Damn, I hope they're hot chicks!"

"Eriol…"

Syaoran was cut off by the teacher, Mizuki-sensei (teacher), coming in.

"Okay class, we have two new students today! Please come in!"

That moment the sliding door opened and Tomoyo came in first, with Sakura behind her.

"This is Tomoyo Daidouji-san…" Tomoyo smiled to the class, "and Sakura Kinomoto-kun, correct?"

Tomoyo tried to correct her, "Well, actual…" but was cut off by Sakura, "Yes, thank you!"

"Would you like to introduce yourselves?"

Tomoyo smiled, "Hello, I'm Tomoyo, and this is my cousin, Sakura. We're very happy to be here." Tomoyo bowed her head a little, but Sakura just kept her pose.

"Arigato, Daidouji-san. Let's see… oh there are two seats there behind Rika and Naoko. Rika, Naoko please raise you're hands."

Mizuki-sensei pointed to the two and Sakura and Tomoyo sat behind them. Chiharu sat beside them as well. Then, Mizuki-sensei left the room, giving everyone time to meet Sakura and Tomoyo. All the guys got up to meet Tomoyo, well all the guys except Syaoran.

"Hey Daidouji-san, where'd you and your cousin come from?"

"We lived here for a while then moved to China, but then we came back here, in Japan."

While mostly all the guys were talking to Tomoyo, all the girls were admiring Sakura. Most of the girls were just talking and talking about how cool or how hot Sakura is. She was getting annoyed by it so she got up from her seat, swung her backpack over her shoulder and left, making most of the girls there shriek like fan girls. Tomoyo got her stuff and ran after her.

"Wait up, Sakura!"

They started walking through the halls and headed for their next class.

"You know they all thought you were a boy, again...even sensei!"

"So?"

"Sakura, what am I gonna do with you?"

Their next class was PE. Sakura ended up playing basketball with the guys, while the girls played volleyball. Sakura's team vs. Syaoran's team. They played a rough game. The game was a tie, until Sakura made the winning shot. Syaoran and Sakura shook hands and Syaoran complimented her in her skills. She gets her athletic skills from her father's side.

"Nice game!"

"You too!"

With that the bell rang and Sakura walked to her locker to change back into her school shoes. There she found a note… (scratch that)…a lot of love notes, may I mention they're ALL from girls! She took them out and read each one. It's not the first time this has happened, so she was used to this. Then Eriol and Syaoran walked by and saw Sakura, with all the love notes.

Eriol walked to her in shock, "WOW! The first day and you already got love letters! You're really popular, Kinomoto-san!"

Sakura looked at the two and then politely bowed, closed her locker, and left. She didn't show any emotion to them, but Eriol wouldn't stop bugging her.

"So Kinomoto-san, are you gonna take one of their offers?"

She kept calm and emotionless, "Iie (no)"

"Why not? Wait… do you have a girlfriend already?"

"Iie"

"Then, why not?"

"I'm not interested"

"You're like Syaoran; he's not interested in getting a girlfriend, either. Before you got here, all the girls loved him. Now it's you two, who's popular with all the girls."

Sakura was getting a bit annoyed by Eriol, but Syaoran on the other hand was nice and quiet. He was a half a head taller than Sakura, really handsome and had a well-built body not too skinny, not to muscular, but Sakura kept those thoughts out of her head.

Then the bell rang and everybody came out into the halls. Sakura, Syaoran, and Eriol passed by Tomoyo and a few of her new friends. The girls all stared at the guys (which meant they stared at Sakura too).

Tomoyo smiled and introduced her cousin, "This is my cousin Sakura."

One of Tomoyo's friends walked up to Sakura and asked shyly, "Um… will you please accept this chocolate?"

Because it was one of Tomoyo's friends, Sakura tried being polite so she smiled nicely and took the chocolate, "Arigato!"

Sakura's smile made the girl go red like a cherry and Sakura being dense (A/N: like the show) asked, "Are you okay? You don't have a fever do you?"

The girl put her hands to her cheeks and turned away, embarrassed.

Tomoyo giggled after seeing Eriol wink at her, "Sakura who's your new friends?"

Sakura was gonna explain, "They're not my…"

But Eriol interrupted her, "Well, I'm Eriol Hiragizawa and this here's my cousin Syaoran Li!"

Tomoyo giggled when Eriol flirted with her a bit then turned to Sakura, "Okay then Sakura, see you at home!"

Sakura nodded then started walking again, Eriol walked after her and Syaoran followed.

Eriol then asked Sakura, "Hey Kinomoto-san, do you wanna hang with me and Syaoran?"

Sakura didn't care and just kept walking.

"Are you sure you don't wanna come? It's my treat!"

Sakura was tempted and needed to find a job, because she felt bad that she must live with Tomoyo and Aunt Sonomi, who let her stay at their home and feed her.

"Okay, okay I'll go!"

"Alright, let's go Kinomoto-san!"

"Okay, stop with the formal stuff; just call me, Sakura!"

"Okay you can call me Eriol, then!"

Syaoran finally talked to her, "Nice to meet you Sakura-kun, you can call me Syaoran."

They went to a small restaurant and they sat down and ate.

"Sakura, your cousin… is so hot!"

"Yeah, and your point is?"

"Does she have a boyfriend or anything?"

"No why? Are you gonna ask her out?"

"Well…"

"Go ahead, but if you mess with her, you're messing with me!"

Eriol understood her feeling of protection, "Don't worry I wouldn't do anything to hurt anyone."

Sakura thought about what she thought about earlier, how guys only care about sex!

Eriol complained, "I just forgot; it's my turn to help out in dinner."

Syaoran suggested, "Why don't we go get the food then? Sakura you wanna come?"

She hesitated at first, "…okay…"

Eriol complained some more, "It's my turn to do everything again…ARGH… but I can't help it, Aunt Yelan can make you do anything."

"Well mother can be a little scary."

"Well, I guess I should help though, since my parents told me to stay here…how about you Sakura?" Eriol wondered.

"Huh?"

"What are you're parents like?"

"…My parents are dead," she said calmly.

The boys' attentions went to Sakura and Eriol apologized, "I'm sorry!"

"It's okay, if I didn't tell you than I would have lied about my parents."

They felt bad for Sakura. They finished their grocery shopping, and headed to the Li Mansion.

Syaoran offered, "Hey Sakura, you wanna stay for dinner?"

"No it's okay, I couldn't possibly take more from you, since you treated me to lunch."

"It's alright!"

"Well…okay, if you insist!"

Sakura walked into the mansion, inside had a huge chandelier and ahead a flight of stairs. Four girls that looked older then Syaoran came down the stairs. The moment they saw Sakura, they went crazy and rushed over.

"Sorry Sakura, these are my four sisters: Fanran, Feimai, Fuutie, and Sheifa"

One of them ruffled her hair, another was pinching her cheeks, and another was hugging her to death.

The last one shouted, "Oh my god! He's so KAWAII (cute)!"

Sakura was feeling the pain from her cheeks and the aching of her back. Syaoran and Eriol knew this would happen; they do it every time they bring someone over. Eriol left them to go to the kitchen to help the housekeepers with dinner. Syaoran pulled Sakura out of it and told his sisters to bug off!

"Aw!"

"Stop already, you do this every time!"

Feimei complained, "Yeah, but you brought someone so cute!"

Sakura couldn't take it anymore, and didn't like the little argument they had, especially since they thought she was so cute! She headed for the door, but Syaoran didn't stop her. It was dark out and she had to walk home. Syaoran looked out the window and noticed that she was walking, so he hurried and rushed out. Sakura was crossing a street at the streetlight. Then, in the middle of the road, a car was heading for her and it wasn't stopping, even though the light was red! She couldn't move, remembering the same memory coming back to her. The car was still coming, but she still was lost in thought. The car was oh so close, but out of the blue, Syaoran pushed her forwards, both landing on the side walk. Sakura finally came back, and screamed (A/N: rather late, huh). Syaoran saw the shock in her eyes.

Syaoran asked dumbly, "Are you okay?" (A/N: PSSHHHHH, she almost got into a crash and he's asking if she's okay)

Sakura couldn't say anything; she just kept the same scared look in her eyes and you could see the water forming in her eyes.

"I'm sorry, pal! Come on, I'll take you home!"

He pulled her up, but then Sakura groaned as her ankle was sprained, from the landing. He took her arm and put it around his neck and helped him walk forward. They walked all the way to Tomoyo's house in silence.

Syaoran rang the door bell, and waited for an answer.

Finally Sakura talked, "I'm sorry that you had to take me all the way here."

"No! I'm really sorry that you almost crashed! It was my fault; if I didn't make you stay at my house then you wouldn't have gotten hurt!"

"No, I'm glad I went to your house, it seemed nice there! Thank you for inviting me to your home! …I'm sorry I made you worry!"

Syaoran looked at 'him' a little shocked and thought to himself, what the hell is wrong with this guy? If I didn't know any better he's like a … girl!

The door finally opened by Tomoyo.

When she saw Sakura hurt, she rushed to her aid, "Oh my God, Sakura-chan, are you okay? What happened?"

Syaoran answered, "You see, he started walking back home from my house. But then, he almost got ran over by a car. He dodged it just fine, but when he landed he sprained his ankle. I'm terribly sorry!"

That moment Sonomi came out, and saw Tomoyo and Sakura and rushed over.

"I'm so sorry!"

Sonomi looked at the boy, not menacingly but kindly, "Thanks for bringing Sakura back! Please come inside."

"No, I couldn't!"

"Please do, it's the least we could do!"

"…okay…"

Syaoran stepped inside and Tomoyo brought Sakura to her room, Sonomi and Syaoran followed. As Syaoran entered the room, it looked messy and the color was a nice emerald greenish color; Syaoran liked the room already! He noticed a picture frame on her desk, the picture showed a family: A father, mother, son, and daughter. It was definitely a little girl, because of the summer dress she was wearing. He thought to himself, Is this Sakura, it looks exactly like him. But…this would mean…that he's really a…girl! He put down the picture as Sonomi told him to sit down. Sonomi and Tomoyo had already cast Sakura's ankle and Sakura already fell asleep. Sonomi left to make some tea. Tomoyo sat on a stool next to Sakura and Syaoran sat down near her window.

Syaoran wondered, "Daidouji-san, may I ask you why Sakura dresses like a boy?"

Tomoyo was shocked, "How did you…"

He pointed straight at the picture.

Tomoyo looked then smirked, "I see. Well…it started about 11 months ago. Sakura was living with her father and her brother. Her mother passed away when she was only 3-years-old. They were out and coming back home and it was dark out. Her father was driving safely, but some crazy drunken driver crashed into them. She was in the car, but she remembers that terrible memory of seeing headlights crash straight at her, but she was the only one who had survived."

Syaoran thought to himself, that's why she couldn't move…

"After a while, Sakura has behaved differently. She's been dressing like a boy and basically behaves like a boy."

"But…why? My sisters think she's cute, so she'd probably be better if she were a girl, wouldn't she?"

"Yes, but no matter what she wouldn't change back to herself. She was such a lovely kind-hearted girl."

"I think she still is!"

She smirked, "Why would you say that, Li-kun?"

"Well…" he remembered earlier when they were at the door, and she was saying sorry to him for worrying about her.

Tomoyo giggled, "Its okay…you don't have to tell me!"

Then Sonomi came in with a cold towel, and a few cups for tea. She placed the towel on Sakura's forehead, even though that wouldn't really help considering she's not sick. Then, Syaoran got up.

"I think I had better go now."

"Oh, won't you stay for the tea?"

"I'm really sorry, but my mother would be wondering where I am! Please don't get up, I'll find my way out."

He headed for the door, as Tomoyo came rushing down the stairs hoping he didn't leave yet, which he didn't.

"Li-kun, I think Sakura would really appreciate it if you don't tell anyone that she's really a girl and that you'd keep treating her, the same."

"Arigato Daidouji-san, I'll keep that in mind!"

He walked out the door and called Wei, his butler, to come pick him up. He waited for him, while he thought to himself Sakura does make a cute girl. I wonder why she doesn't change back into one.

Wei finally made it there, and Syaoran still kept asking himself so many questions.

"Syaoran-sama, may I ask what took you so long?"

"It's a long story Wei..."

So what do you think?? Please review and tell me what you think? NO FLAMES! Flames burn… owchie :(…well hoped you liked it.
