Card Captor Syaoran: The Syaoran Cards

Prologue A

A young man with brown chestnut hair gaped openly at the broken telephone lying smashed on the floor. His eyes widening in shock as he replayed the conversation that just took place, in his mind over and over again.

Flashback

Syaoran walked into his room; his hair dampened with sweat from the training he just came from. He cautiously took of his shirt; careful not to aggravate the wounds he had just painfully acquired. He was dead tired. Everyday without fail, he woke up just before dawn to begin his daily chores. It included going to the town 8 miles away at the break of dawn to get the clan's packages plus he had to do this within an hour in order to get back in time for his combat training. Tardiness was something the elders did not take lightly. His training would begin immediately when he got back for he was usually just barely in time. He would then have to endure six hours of painful combat with men bigger, stronger and older than he was. After that he would then begin his magic training in which he constantly got hurt because of spells that backfired or failed. Through all of this the elders watched him like a hawk. Doubting his every move, questioning his every success. But Syaoran took it all in stride, determined to prove them wrong and to be able to get back to the one he loved, the one he had left behind.

As Syaoran finished dressing his wounds, he caught a glimpse of the framed picture beside his bed. He smiled tenderly as he gingerly picked up the picture of a young girl with mesmerizing emerald eyes and an enthusiastic smile. He set the picture down and began walking towards the bathroom to take a shower but stopped to take one last look at the picture and whispered, "Soon, Sakura…soon."

The phone rang as he was drying his hair. He hurriedly picked it up and said, "Hello?" "Syaoran-kun" a female voice said on the other end of the line.

He almost fell over in shock and excitement. "Sakura-chan!" Syaoran said excitedly feeling his heart soar at the very sound of her voice. "Hi! How are you? I'm sorry I wasn't able to call lately. It has been so busy these days especially with my training everyday that I hadn't got a chance to call you." Syaoran mentally smacked his head as he listened to himself babble on like a six-year-old kid. He finally got a hold of himself and said to Sakura in a more casual voice, "How have you been?"

"Li-san, I'm sorry for bothering you so late in the evening but there is something I need to tell you." Sakura said sadly.

Uh-Oh that doesn't sound so good. Syaoran thought noticing the sudden switch of names.

"What is it Sakura?" Syaoran asked fearfully.

"I'm sorry, Li-kun. sniff I can't do this anymore. It's too hard. " she cried.

As soon as she said this something in Syaoran broke. It sent searing pain all over his body. He got dizzy and if it wasn't for his hand propped up on his desk he was certain he would have fallen down. He couldn't speak and even if he could he wouldn't know what to say. He couldn't even breathe nor was he sure if he wanted to anymore. No! Don't do this to me Sakura! His mind screamed in desperation. Don't leave me! Not you too! Don't do this to me! I need you! I love you! His heart joined in shouting. He shook his head to clear his thoughts. She must have found someone else. She doesn't love me anymore! Did she ever love me? I was too late! I took too long! He thought as he gripped the hard wood of his desk. Suddenly anger took control of him. You're so stupid! You knew that feelings were a weakness! And yet what did you do? You allowed her to get too close and now what's become of you? You are nothing but a sniveling weak boy! Something inside of him retorted. Besides she's probably happy with someone else! She's asking you to set her free! It isn't right for you to make her wait for you! the voice insisted. . He sighed- a long painful sigh. As he said the words he was about to say next, he felt the old walls that used to confine his heart start to go up again. "I see, Kinomoto-san." He said coldly after a long silence that was only disrupted by Sakura's quiet sobbing. "I understand. Then there is no reason why this call should take any longer than it has, now is there? " he spat sarcastically as the pain of losing her clutched his heart. "Good bye Sakura Kinomoto." He said coldly as he slammed the receiver down. The force causing the phone to break into a million pieces so much so like his heart had just a moment ago.

end of flashback

He bit his lip to keep from shouting out her name causing blood to trickle down his chin. He knew she wouldn't come. She would never come again. He choke back his tears. He wouldn't cry. Li Syaoran, the direct descendant of Clow Reed will not cry! He walked over his bed and sat down trying to remember how to breathe. The picture frame caught his eye. He walked over to it, never losing his sight of the emerald eyed girl in the picture, and picked it up. His callused hand caressed the girl's face. "Why Sakura? Why?" He whispered softly. It was too much. The sight of her beautiful face was too much to bear. For he knew that the girl in the picture, the girl he loved so much would never be his and would never love him. "NO!!!" he screamed in anguish. His heart searing with pain, he threw the picture away from him so he would no longer be tortured by it. It shattered as it slammed into the nearby wall. "Sakura,,, I love you." he said brokenly as he slumped down to the cold hard floor. And that was when the tears came. Li Syaoran was crying. The youngest Li Clan master in training was openly crying. And right then and there he didn't even care. For right now he wasn't, Li Syaoran, the great Clow card master. He wasn't, Li Syaoran, the direct descendant of Clow Reed. He was just Li Syaoran, a boy whose heart had just been broken.
