Author's notes: Hello, ppl. This is my fourth Cardcaptor Sakura fanfic. I've been thinking of posting this for a while now. Well, I've finally started it. Hope you enjoy…

Summary: 18 year old Sakura Kinomoto hates her life. An obsessed man wants her and he'll do anything to get her. So she runs away…seeking protection….right into the arms of her amber-eyed savior, Syaoran Li. Will she trust him to save her or is she too scared to trust again?

Chapter 1:

Escape

"Sakura! Quick hide! He's here!" my mother's frantic whispers reached my ears. I got up at once leaving my half finished breakfast behind and ran towards the backdoor, gathering my school stuff.

"Sakura, my love" the voice that I dreaded to hear flooded through my ears, numbing my brain.

I glared at him as he approached me with a look of longing in his eyes, "Have you decided the date of our wedding, yet?" he asked, as he reached out to touch me. I flinched and slapped his hand away,

"Get away from me" I told him coldly. His eyes narrowed dangerously,

"Come now, is that the way to talk to your fiancé?" he asked, his voice becoming slightly icy.

I shivered slightly, but I didn't want him to notice, "You're not my fiancé and you never will be." I responded, pushing past him as I ran to catch the school bus. I felt him catch my wrist,

"I wouldn't say that if I were you. Remember what happened to your brother" he whispered menacingly.

I just yanked my hand away from him and climbed into the bus, pushing my thoughts away from Touya, my older brother.

I hate him. That monster, Ryushin Hayato. He ruined my life. Ever since he met me last year my life has become a total disaster. The spoiled brat. He has been forcing me to get married to him. And with him being the son of the richest guy in Tomoeda doesn't make things any easier.

I sighed and leaned my head against the glass window. All of them, my mom, dad and Touya they're all suffering because of me. I wish someone would come and save me from this hell of a life. I really do….

A whole week has passed and I have graduated from school. I walked all by myself down the familiar lane home trying to ignore the whispers of the people as they saw me.

When I came home, I saw a couple of men moving things around.

"What's going on?" I demanded, as I entered the house. My mother beckoned me to come inside the bedroom. As I went closer, I noticed that her eyes were puffy and red like she'd been crying and my dad looked really upset.

"What's going on, mom? Dad?" My father shut the door of the bedroom and sat me on the bed next to him,

"They are Hayato's men, they say they've been ordered to change the old furniture to new ones as a preparation for your wedding." He explained

I was shocked to say the least, "But I never agreed to marry him" I replied furiously

"We know. That's why we have planned everything. You have to run away from here" my dad told me.

"What! But I can't just leave you guys here"

"Don't worry about us, dear. We'll escape as soon you leave. Your safety is our first concern." My mom handed me a bag and said,

"I have packed some clothes, your certificates, your passport and some money. We've applied for a scholarship at a university in the US. There's also some money for your train fare to Tokyo, from where you can catch a plane. We've spoken to your aunt, you can stay with her."

I nodded slowly, all this was hard to digest, "Where will you guys go?"

"We'll be going to your grandparents' place, it's pretty secluded, so Hayato will not find us" replied mom.

"Now I want you to go to the station first thing tomorrow morning, as early as possible." My dad instructed.

I nodded again and prepared to go to bed, hoping everything will be ok.

It was morning already and I was getting ready to leave. I flung my bag over my shoulder and took one last look at my house. "Bye mom, dad. Take care."

"You too dear," I hugged my parents goodbye and snuck out of the back gate.

It was freezing in the morning and the sky was still blue. It didn't take me long to reach the station. Now all I have to do is cross the road and I'm home free. But as I crossed the road, I tripped and fell flat on the ground.

"Hey! Sakura!"

I whipped my head to find him, that monster coming towards me. "What are you doing her?" he called.

"No!" I screamed frenetically, "Stay away from me Hayato!" I jumped to my feet and ran in the opposite direction.

I ran blindly, with only one aim in my mind that is to get away from that creep. All the people in the streets were staring at me and getting out of the way as I ran. I was surprised that there were quite a few people at this time of the day. But not one of them stepped up to help me. It was not like I didn't expect that. If they tried to help me then he would kill them and besides I didn't want anyone's help, I think…

I ran around the first corner and bumped into someone. I looked up at the person. It was a boy of my age with messy chestnut hair and mesmerizing amber eyes (that were somehow familiar but I didn't know where I'd seen them before). I've never seen him in town before, so I guess he must be new.

Ignoring my mind's protests I clutched the front of his shirt and pleaded,

"Please help me sir! I beg you!"

I didn't know why I did it because I had sworn to myself not to ask anyone's help but this time I just couldn't help myself…

I sighed and flicked through the pages of the magazine I was holding. My friends were playing cards as we sat in the hotel room in a small town called Tomoeda, Japan.

I'm Li Syaoran. Future heir to the famous Li clan. 18 years old, ace striker and captain of the RFA, a soccer club.

"And I win again" my friend Eriol Hiragiizawa's smug voice echoed through the room as he grabbed the small pile of coins towards himself. My other friends, Ken and Yamazaki groaned.

"I bet you're cheating" Ken complained, "You've won five times in a row"

"What can I say? I'm just so good at the game" said Eriol, smirking.

"I'm broke." Yamazaki said digging his pockets, "And I haven't even got my girlfriend a birthday present."

"What were you planning on buying anyway?" asked Ken,

"Don't know. Haven't decided yet. Got any ideas?"

"Don't you guys have anything better to talk about" I interrupted getting a little annoyed because the most common talk among my friends these days is about their girlfriends.

"Come on, Syaoran. It's time you got yourself a girlfriend. You're 18 now." Eriol suggested.

"Get out of here" I replied lazily as I pulled the magazine over my face and fell asleep.

It was 4 am in the morning and here I am jogging. Why? Because we have an important soccer match coming up tomorrow and I need to get some practice. That's why we're here in Tomoeda. If we win this semi finale then we get to go to the finals in Tokyo which is in two weeks.

And as usual my lazy ass friends were asleep snoring like billy-hoes. I took a turn around a corner where I saw quite a few people standing on the sidewalk and as though waiting for something. I wondered what was going on and at the very moment a girl came running and bumped right into to me. I caught her shoulders, surprised. She looked up at me and I saw that she was very pretty. She seemed the same age as me and she had emerald eyes and long auburn hair framing her face. But her cheeks were streaked with tears and her eyes were full of misery, and fear.

She clutched my shirt and said,

"Please help me sir! I beg you!"

I was too surprised to react immediately. Before I could do anything, another man with black hair and blue eyes came bursting around the corner and yanked her from my grasp. She let out a shriek and struggled to get out of his grip,

"Let go, you're hurting me" she whimpered as the guy dragged her over to a black limousine a little further ahead.

"You cannot run away from me, Sakura" the guy told her, forcefully pushing her into the car by her shoulders. She kept struggling and was now sobbing as she begged him to let her go.

The people around me didn't seem to want to help her at all. They just stood there and watched this horrible scenario. I balled my fists, anger surging through me. What's wrong with these people? Can't they see that she didn't want to go with him? Without thinking I strode over to the guy who had by now managed to shove the poor girl in. But before he could climb in, I tapped his shoulder. The moment he turned around, I rammed my fist against his face, sending him reeling against a post. The people around gasped and started to talk excitedly,

"Can't you see she doesn't want to go with you?" I yelled at him. The girl jumped out of the car and ran over to me. She grabbed my shoulder and said urgently,

"We've got to get out of here. His men will be after us in a minute"

Quickly, I dragged her back to the limousine and started the car. Thankfully, the key was there. Without wasting another second I took off at top speed. I could see from the rear view mirror that guy standing up and yelling something.

"Are you ok?" I asked the trembling girl beside me.

She nodded. "I shouldn't have asked for your help. That guy is the son of the richest man in Tomoeda. You're in a lot of trouble now." She whispered.

"It's ok. We'll think of that later." I said. Crack! A bullet shot at us narrowly missing the car. We looked back to see an entire army of cars chasing us, just as we reached the edge of the town.

The girl beside me started crying softly. I smiled at her, "It's ok. I'll protect you." I found myself saying. Why am I saying such stuff to some random girl? I wondered. But I have no time to think of that not when there were twenty cars chasing me.

I swerved suddenly and the car ran down a slope right into a lake. I pushed the door open and swam out. I pulled the girl and her bag with me out of the water and dragged her onto the land. Unfortunately for me she had fainted. I swung her bag over my shoulders and lifted her in my arms and ran towards the forest nearby.

I didn't stop running till we reached a cave quite deep in the forest. I couldn't hear the men's footsteps anymore so I supposed that they'd given up. I placed the girl on the grass and sat down beside her.

It had been quite a while since we came here. It's probably six in the morning. The sun was up but it seemed quite dark in the forest. I hoped that there were no wild animals about.

I picked up her bag and peered inside. There were some clothes, and money along with a couple of papers. I pulled it out. They were her certificates.

"Sakura Kinomoto" I read off the certificate. So she was the same age as me. I thought as I read the certificate. Just as I placed the certificate inside, the girl beside me stirred awake.

"You're finally awake" I smiled down at her kindly. She didn't say anything but looked around as if trying to figure out where we were.

"We're in a cave" I explained shortly.

I looked at the man next to me. He was smiling gently. His amber eyes wore a soft expression. It made me feel safe and fuzzy all over. Suddenly I was glad that I asked his help.

"We're in a cave" he told me as I looked around at my new surroundings.

"What about Hayato?" I asked him.

He frowned, "If you're talking about that black haired maniac I think he's given up for now"

"He must have something planned. He doesn't give up that easily"

"I know it's none of my business. But why was he chasing you in the first place?" he asked me.

My eyes darkened as I eyed him doubtfully. Should I trust him with all my secrets?
