Part one: Before the big change

Syoaran watched his biggest humiliation happen before his eyes as Daisuke read his letter to Sakura aloud. Syoaran looked down and left the house while everyone was making fun of him. Sakura ran after him and shouted, "Syoaran, wait!"

He looked at her, and she hugged him. "I love you, too!"

Was he dreaming? No, he was pushed back into reality as she continued, "You're like a brother to me!"

He got out of her grasp and said, "Bye, Sakura, I forgot to tell you but I'm moving."

"Syoaran…." She said.

………………………………………………………………………

Today was the day Syoaran moved to a boarding school in the big city. His parents weren't coming with him so Touya, Sakura's brother, gave him a ride. Sakura came with him. They sat a different sides of the car and didn't face eachother.

All the small things
True care, truth brings
I'll take, one lift
Your ride, best trip

When he went, he would become a completely different person. He was getting contacts and removing his braces before his first day of school. He would even try to become famous, anything to be different from who he was now.

Always, I know
You'll be at my show
Watching, waiting, commiserating

Still, he would miss Sakura. Suddenly he felt like running back home an hiding under his bed and turning the lights off. Residing in total darkness.

Say it ain't so,

I will not go,

turn the lights off,

carry me home

Late in his teens he would come back, he would come back for his senior year. His mum and dad went to work early today to avoid saying goodbye. But his mum left him roses by the stairs.

Na, na·
Late night, come home
Work sucks, I know
She left me roses by the stairs, surprises let me know she cares

He felt like screaming at his parents as they passed their office building and to ask them to carry him home and leave him there like they did when he was born.

Say it ain't so,

I will not go,

turn the lights off,

carry me home

They arrived at the airport and Touya helped him load his luggage onto the trolley. He patted his shoulder and told him to come back A.S.A.P. Syoaran nodded and then he faced Sakura. For moments they just stared at eachother. Syoaran smiled weakly at the girl he loved and turned to leave but she embraced him from behind, crying into his clothes. "Don't leave, Syoaran!" she said.

"I wish I didn't have to."

"Say it isn't so, tell me you'll come back!"

"I will come back."

Na, na·
Say it ain't so,

I will not go,

turn the lights off,

carry me home

She shook her head and pounded my back. He wished she would stop, because besides the fact it hurt him emotionally and physically, it was annoying him and he would miss his flight.

Keep your head still,

I'll be your thrill, the night will go on,

my little windmill

He turned around and hugged her back, and all of a sudden, his urge to go home was greater than before by tons.

Say it ain't so,

I will not go,

turn the lights off,

carry me home

"Don't go anywhere, Sakura, I promise on my life I will come back." He said.

Keep your head still,

I'll be your thrill,

the night will go on,

my little windmill
