This one was kind of hard....I couldn't think of anything for a while. Please R&R! This one takes place only shortly before Sakura loses her memories.

Chapitre 2. The Price of Memory
Back to Back
Everyone had a different path to tread, and sometimes they went in different directions.
Sakura faced one direction, and Syaoran faced the other. While their paths had crossed for some time, she always felt uneasiness when she realized his path might take him far from her.
At this moment in time, the two children – because really, that's what they were; young and ignorant to the troubles of the world – stood stationary. Back to back, they stood, facing opposite ends of the earth, ready to head out on different journeys to different destinations.
For some time now - during their childhood - she had ignored this thought, and kept her fear hidden. It was when his father had passed away - the cause the very work he loved and had devoted himself to – and he himself had taken the empty spot. She had felt him slip away, not far, but far enough to startle her.
He was moving in a direction her path did not go, and she was frightened. Frightened that her childhood friend – the one she loved – would disappear to some place she couldn't follow.
And that was something she never wanted to happen. But for now, they stood still in time, neither moving forward. And though she knew it couldn't last, and someday – near or far – something would happen that would cause them to be forced apart, she kept this time together and these memories in her heart.
But the fear didn't disappear no matter how much she hid it.
The two stood back to back – facing different directions and about to tread separate paths.
