Yang-chan: This story has been in the deepest part of my brain and has been buggin' me for some time now. It would say, " Write me! Write me!" So I am.

Sakura: This if your first CCS fic then?

Yang-chan: No comment. Anyway I hope you enjoy the fic. Please R&R. (bow) Arigato. Oh, I do not own CCS. Thanks a lot for reminding me.

A/N: Everyone is 14 in this fic. All the card have been transformed. Li-kun did not reveal any feeling for Sakura. She, how ever, has feeling for him.

Summary: She was Naïve, they were on their toes. She would see the world in Pink and White. They saw it in black and grey. She would smile unaware of those around her. They would frown when she passed by. Sakura was happy and they suffered thanks to her innocence. So they finally snapped and confronted her only to drive her away. The Kinomoto curse had started. For every smile she had someone would frown, for every good moment someone suffered. Five years had passed since Sakura was driven away, and now a new girl has come to town, who is she and why is she so sad all the time? Why is it that when her tears fall that the town glows with Joy? She has come to take away all the darkness… but as always there is a price to pay.

All for a smile

By Yang of Ying and Yang twins

Sakura was slowly skated to school. The rain was making it impossible for her to navigate properly. The school loomed into view. Thank goodness. She wasn't late. She slowed down and entered the school gates. Kids were hanging around, talking, whispering, and huddling together. Sakura searched for Tomoyo, her best friend. She spotted her, Li-kun, and Meilin-chan standing off by themselves next to a huge cherry tree.

" Tomoyo-chan!" She waved as she ran towards them, her skates in hand. " Ohayo! Why didn't you wait for me this morning?"

" I had to come here and do something." Tomoyo answered, her voice dripping with sarcasm. Not that Sakura would notice, no, she was too dense.

" Oh, okay! Hey," she rummaged in her bag for a flier she received in the mail. " I thought this would be fun. We could all go, there's a festival in the Shrine that Mizuki-san worked at. It sounds like fun."

"No thanks…" Meilin looked down at the ground. She shifted uncomfortably.

" Okay… well then, how about we go to the Ice Cream Parlor after school?" she asked again as if she was a little kid trying to convince her parents to take her out.

" No." Replied Li-kun. " We don't have time."

"Oh, I see…" Sakura smiled faltered for a few seconds. " That's fine. Maybe we could do something else some other time. Oh by the way, Meilin-chan, how was your date?"

Tomoyo, Li and Meilin tensed up. Sakura of course didn't notice anything, and continued to ask. " I wasn't able to talk to you all week long. How was it?"

" I…I," Meilin's eyes welled up with tears that threatened to fall.

" Hoe? What's wrong Meilin-chan? Come one, tell me what wrong." She reached out the consol her friend when Tomoyo grabbed her wrist. " Tomoyo–chan, let go. Meilin, there's something wrong with her."

"No Sakura, it's about time you knew. Meilin has been suffering for weeks, months now and you never noticed. All of us have been suffering. However all you do is smile and never notice. We are sick and tied of it. Now, you'll find out." Everyone looked toward where Tomoyo was standing, gripping tightly the wrist of a certain Kinomoto Sakura. Li was holding Meilin tightly so she could have a shoulder to cry on. Sakura felt the color drain from her face. The school ground was cold now, every one's eyes on her.

" Very funny Tomoyo-chan. Very funny. Now can you let me go now?"

" Listen!" She yanked on her wrist. " This isn't a joke! We can't take this anymore! I can't take this anymore! Sakura, you're suppose to be my best friend but were where you when I was depressed months ago?! Where were you when I drank that whole bottle of pills?! WHERE WERE YOU WHEN I NEEDED YOU?!" She yelled while tears poured out of her eyes. " Li-kun was the one who found me. He helped me. He was there! He noticed I was acting odd. You didn't! YOU DIDN'T!!"

Sakura looked at her friend who collapsed to her knees, sobbing silently. She had never known. Tomoyo never showed any sign of being depressed or thinking about suicide.

"Tomoyo-chan…I…"

"SHUT UP!" A hand made contact with her left cheek. Sakura saw the world slow down as she fell down. Her hands automatically extended and softened her fall. Her cheek stung. She looked up to see Meilin looking down at her, holding her right hand. " Just shut up Kinomoto. You have no right to be at her side anymore. Do you know what happened to me? Do you know why I was so distant lately? I've been in a bad relationship, but instead of helping me out, you just had silly idiotic grin plastered on your face. Li-kun saved me from the bastard. I was nearly raped by that lowlife. I still have nightmares. Li has to help me sleep, he has to be by my side so I can get a decent night's sleep. Kinomoto, you make me sick. All this time you only waltzed around while me and Tomoyo suffered endlessly. Know what?" She bent lower and whispered into Sakura's ear. " Everyone hates you. They hate the fact that you're innocent like a child. You're naïve, you're clueless to the world around. We suffered because of you, we had to keep up that image of being perfect, of being that Pink and White world you always see."

Sakura slowly looked over Meilin and stared at Li.

" Shaoran, tell Meilin to quit. Come on, that…that couldn't have happened…" She tried to smile but found that her body wasn't moving the way she wanted it to move.

He shook his head. " No, you need to know the truth. I have been cleaning after the messes you've made. I had to console Rika, I had to patch things between Chiharu and Yamazaki. I was there for Nadoka. I was there for everyone. I ran after your trail of sadness that you leave behind. Everyone has had to sacrifice a lot to make you happy. We all supported each other when we were sad because you weren't there. Even Eriol suffered greatly. He and I went after the bastard that harmed Meilin. He stayed by our side when you were off having the time of your life. Face it Kinomoto, you are the problem. You make us all suffer."

Everyone had gathered around Li and the others. Sakura just sat there trying to take everything in. She was a bit dense she knew that, but she never thought it would escalate to something like this. She loved everyone…she cared for everyone…she wanted them to be happy above everything else…all this time they had suffered because of her, because of her smile…because of her smile. Because she was naïve, because she was innocent, because she was dense…because she was Sakura.

" We've suffered greatly because of you. We suffered because of you! WE SUFFER BECAUSE OF YOU KINOMOTO SAKURA!!!" The crowed yelled. " WE SUFFER!"

The world wasn't the same…what were they trying to tell her? It was all muffled, all garbled. She could only pick up little bits and pieces. Still her mind could process them so she could understand them. They were speaking in an unknown language. Why were they accusing her of something that she had no control over? She was just being herself. Then it clicked. Herself, she was herself. She can't be Sakura anymore, she couldn't be the airhead everyone knows. She bolted from her spot. She ran through the rain, leaving behind her books, her bag, and her skates.

Li looked at the retreating figure of Sakura. The poor girl had received the biggest shock of her life. Still it felt good to tell the truth instead of lying the whole time. Now Sakura would open her eyes more and learn. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. The nightmare was over. The school bell rang and the students entered leaving behind her stuff. No one was around as the wind opened a small pink book. It flipped to a page.

Today father told us that we will be moving soon. He couldn't tell us exactly why, just that we will be moving in a weeks time. I just hope that everyone will be okay with it. The last thing I want is to make my friends sad. I love them too much. I will be telling them soon.

Real Soon.

October 15th

Today was the 21st. There was no time left to tell them. And now, her father will be very upset and insist that they move today. Sakura couldn't take it anymore. She ran inside to an empty house. Her father was teaching his replacement everything he needed. Touya was spending some time with Yukito before the move. Yukito was going to be moving in with them once they settled in their new house so Yue could be close to his Master.

She leaned against the closed door, a puddle of rain water now formed at her feet. She looked down and saw her reflection and collapsed to her knees crying her eyes out. Kero-chan floated downstairs when he thought he heard someone enter. Seeing his Master crying he instantly flew to her side. Her tears spoke when she couldn't. he let her hug him until she had calmed down. When she fell asleep, he transformed and carried her upstairs. He then proceeded to call Touya and her father. They hurried home along with Yukito. All four of them agreed that they should pack up now and leave while Sakura was still sleeping. With that they left behind Tomoeda. Sakura vanished without a single trace.

At school the next day, Sakura's seat was empty. Everyone was a bit uneasy with her gone. They felt a little bit guilty about yesterday but Sakura was bound to forgive them. It was one of her faults, she forgave to easily. The teacher walked in. Everyone took their seats.

" Okay class I just got some news from the Office. It seems Sakura has been dropped from our school. I got word from her father that they moved. It is a great loss for this class to lose such a bright and cheerful student. Now will you please turn to page 187 in your math books…" the Sensei turned around and started to write the day's lesson on the board. However not everyone was opening their books. The news had shocked the class. No that was an understatement. They were in total denial. Sakura wasn't the type to do something like this. She wasn't that coldhearted. She wasn't like that. Chairs scraped across the floor as many students fled from their seat. They all rushed out the door and out of the school. They all ran down those familiar streets to reach her house. Li didn't bother to open the gate, he jumped over it. He franticly knocked on the door. No one answered. Everyone crowded around as he keep pushing the door bell. Still there was no reply, the house was dark and lonesome. No one was home. A huge feeling of guilt consumed them. They had driven her away when they only wanted her to open her eyes.

That was five years ago and everyone had soon forgotten that honey brown, emerald eyed girl. Life was peaceful in Tomoeda and every thing was calm with the occasional crime here and there. All in all Tomoeda hadn't changed much. Sakura's house was still for sale. A sleek black car pulled up to the house, it was followed by a small moving truck. Out stepped a young girl of 19 years old. She had dark blue hair and icy blue eyes that were hidden by a pair of sunglasses. Her eyes scanned the area. " This is the place." The two movers nodded and began to unload the stuff. Once they finished she paid them and opened all the door and windows.

" Home sweet home." She flopped down on the couch. " It feels good…to be in one place. I wonder if things will be much better. I never really felt like I was adjusted to my hometown. Well...I'm home."

Yang-chan: I hope you liked it. This is my first CCS fanfic.

Sakura: I was right!

Yang-chan: You're not as dense as I thought you were!

Sakura: And you're not as dumb as I thought you were!

(Silence)

Both: HEY!
