Disclaimer: Nope, I don't own Cardcaptor Sakura, that is specifically
property of CLAMP, I do not own Cinderella either, that is property of
Disney, but I do own this fic so no stealing! (And please don't sue me…)
A/N: Although this is a Sakura/Syaoran fic it is NOT Meiling bashing, I repeat NOT Meiling bashing. Just thought I'd let everyone know. ^_^ And they are all around seventeen now, since it has been seven years since they were ten. :P
"You will come back right?" Sakura asked, "I will come back, for you Sakura. Always and forever." He replied, "Promise?" She asked, "I promise." He replied, and the young couple pinky promised, then he left her life, Syaoran left Sakura….
That was so long ago, Sakura thought tossing and turning on her bed. The cards had been caught and Syaoran left, he broke his promise, he never returned. It had been seven years now and Sakura tried everything to keep him out of her mind but it impossible! And yet…. And yet Sakura couldn't hate him more.

"Syaoran! Don't go!" She cried, hugging his waist, "Syaoran! Please don't leave me, please……" She cried into his shirt and he ruffled her auburn hair, "I will be back Sakura, I promise." And they pinky promised that day and Syaoran left Sakura, he left her…. Alone.
Syaoran awoke in his bed, sweating and yet blushing at remembering her… The Sakura Card Mistress. He stood up, in the middle of the night and walked to his closet, pulling out a small box, opening it he found some pictures of Sakura and a cherry blossom that she had given him before he left. "Does she still remember me…? Does she still love me….?" He asked himself slowly, remembering the tears in her beautiful eyes, the day he left her crying with no comforting shoulder to lean on, for that has always been his own.

And so the day progresses……..
Syaoran, the Leader of the Li Clan, found himself waking up with a small cherry blossom clenched in his fist, he had a dream last night, he remembered her.. He was probably forgotten now but he couldn't let it go. Syaoran quickly hid the flower where nobody could find it, specifically Meiling, he did not want his forced fiancee getting angry once again when she crept into his room and found the cherry blossom… The Sakura. After tucking away the memories Syaoran quickly dressed himself in his green training outfit, being Master of the Li-Clan he was forced to wear this daily as a sign of loyalty. Soon he was finished combing his unruly hair and brushing his teeth, so he was found downstairs at the Li-Clan table, watching the maid serve everyone their breakfast.
Syaoran looked down at his oatmeal, with a tint of cinnamon stirred in, it has always been his favorite meal, ESPECIALLY when Yelan herself makes it, which is on a rare occasion, and yet today he could hardly swallow, he just wasn't hungry. Syaoran toyed with his food while listening to the conversation going on around the table. Meiling was gushing about the dress she got previously while Yelan his other sisters were busy gossiping about the latest trends in fashion, and other such things when Yelan spoke up, the entire table was silenced.
"It seems you all have forgotten something, do you not remember Syaoran's birthday is in two weeks? And that Meiling and Syaoran's marriage is in one month?" Yelan looked around for emphasis, the sisters looked shocked that they had forgotten such a thing, and Meiling was staring at Syaoran, he seemed to be sad. Come to think of it, he hadn't said a thing all morning, and the fact that he wasn't eating wasn't too reassuring. Yelan followed Meiling's gaze and noticed the same thing, Meiling slowly gained courage and asked, "Syaoran? Is something wrong?"
Syaoran was in his own world that entire breakfast, when suddenly his thoughts were broken into, a gentle voice was asking if he was okay. Syaoran shook his fists and dropped his spoon, bits of oatmeal splattered on the table which the maids promptly wiped up. "I'm fine." He said, almost inaudibly and stood up shaking the small table, "I think I'll go to the Li-clan training grounds now, I have work to do." Syaoran slowly turned around and walked out the door. Meiling looked up at Yelan, Yelan nodded and Meiling followed him casting her small body into the shadows, she didn't make a single sound as she inched after him. Syaoran, meanwhile, decided that he needed not go to the training grounds, but today he had another place to visit.
Syaoran veered his course to the left, almost throwing Meiling off his trail but soon arrived where he was trying to go. He crept into the Li-Clan gardens, feeling like a child creeping into unknown territory although this area DID belong to him. He slowly passed the roses, the lilies, and even the sunflowers until he reached the center where a flourishing cherry blossom tree was planted. He crawled into his boughs, remembering he planted it the day after his mother recovered from her illness, and reached to a flower, picking it gently. It was pink with white fringes, it was in it's prime at this moment and Syaoran sighed, reaching into his pocket he pulled out a photograph.
Meanwhile Meiling watched Syaoran, he seemed as if he was mourning something then he reached into his pocket, he pulled out a photograph that she couldn't see, but Syaoran started to tremble as he looked at it. Syaoran saw a picture of a ten year old with her arms wrapped around his neck, Syaoran saw Sakura, the day he told her that he was to leave, the day he told her that he would come back. "Sakura……" He whispered audibly, Meiling heard this.
"Syaoran….." She knew that he still loved her, and that she was the only obstacle in his way, she slowly walked back to the house and called a meeting with Yelan, as they sat down Meiling looked her into the eye, her own filled with tears. "Yelan-san, he still loves her…. He wants to see her again, Yelan-san I know what we shall do for his birthday! We shall bring him the one thing he loves the most, and…….. And break our marriage." Meiling looked at Yelan, knowing she was making the hardest decision in her life, and yet Yelan smiled, soon Meiling was gathered in her arms, crying away seven years of pain.
