Chapter 3: Tears That Never Fall

Summary: The stranger that saved Sakura actually is a teacher at her school! How will they both react? Why does he know Sakura?

A/N: Yes. The summary sucks. I hate para-phrasing… Boo..

ON WITH THE F-L-U-F-F….!

…

The sky fell onto a dark blue and black as numerous stars entered the brightly lit sky, thanks to the big full moon. A man with chestnut brown hair and brown eyes was sitting on a swing in a playground.

Tomoeda Playground.

He has shades on, even though it was already night time. As the wind blew through his young, ushered face, he began to wonder…

Deeply…..

More wind blew. It was like a sharp knife in the gale of winter. What was he thinking?

Whatever he was thinking, it was a deep thought, so deep, that it could take a man drowning in his thoughts.

"Sakura….Kinomoto……" said the man.

The man named Li Syaoran.

Or currently, Ling Liao.

An alias perhaps, but he held a secret. A secret that wasn't supposed to be kept a secret.

At 17 years old, he already achieved what a master musician dreamed to achieve. A multi-millionaire, handsome, kind and talented with the piano, he was the center of a girl's eye.

But he only wanted to impress one girl….. one particular girl…..

A girl he loved with all his heart…. The girl he was so longing to see once more…..

But where was she?

He knew that she was somewhere in this town. The reason why he came to substitute in an all-girl school was her. Teacher that is.

He sighed deeply and stood up. He took off his dark shaded-shades. His eyes were beautiful, yet sad. The love of his life… where was she… all he knew is that she was a very good dancer. And a promise was the only thing that kept him there…. A promise that took forever to hold, and not an eternity to break.

But that girl wasn't the only reason why he came here. No.

For he held something so deep and loving in his heart, that he couldn't bear the pain of keeping it all to himself. His love, his passion, his kindness, wasn't enough,

To cure his blindness.

Almost blindness anyway. He had Glaucoma. Yes, it only mainly occurs at middle ages but he suffered an accident abroad that lead to his disease 9 years ago. (NOTE: that I did research about this particular disease so please, if I get something wrong, just email me. I can change it. Only human here.)

Because of this, he thought of himself as weak. He couldn't see much anymore. Everything was blurring everyday of his life. But why did it have to happen to him? It prevented him from seeing her…… Why him..?

Particularly, the reason he came here, the main reason other than his love, is to raise more funds for his surgical operation. He almost lead to Acute Glaucoma once. But he had surgery before any permanent damage was done.

No matter what though, he would never give up on his search for the promise, the promise of love.

He loved her too much to think that he would give up just because he couldn't see too well. Actually, he couldn't see anymore. Not much anyway.

Only his narrow eyelids could see something. But they were blurred too much for him too see clearly. Get now the dogs?

He held something to his chest. Something soft and cuddly. Yet a bit torn, it was still warm, from his embrace, and from hers 10 years ago.

"Why is that name so familiar…?" he said, as he took out the thing from his chest.

A simple teddy bear. A pink teddy bear with white wings. The things that mean the most important to him were all inside it…. And somehow, it draws him from the beginning…

"I will find you….However you are….I know I don't know much about you…but I know that I love you…and that's all that matters….right?" he said clutching it tighter to his heart.

Unbreakable

Sakura was preparing her things for school the next day. Her hair was wet so it was obvious that she just took a bath.

"Whew. Almost finished!" she said as she wiped the sweat off her forehead. The nights in the past few days have been so full of stress that this was the only night that she ever got some decent rest.

Ever since that stranger saved her from the truck, she had become calmer and more intent on what she does.

As she finished packing up, she noticed a huge box covered in a lot of dust in the corner of her room.

Curious, she went over and wiped the dust off the box. It was somewhat heavy and dirty inside and out, you could tell once you opened it.

"I never knew this box before!" said Sakura as she huffed to get it out.

Inside were all sorts of trinkets, letters, and a lot of strange things. But what caught Sakura's attention were two items, a green teddy bear and a locket shaped in a heart.

Her heart was beating faster. They seemed very familiar.

She opened the locket and took the bear with her to the balcony in her room. It was a starry night and her hair was being blown away by the wind.

"Ahhh!" she said. The wind almost blew the locket out of her hand.

She gripped it tighter and hugged the bear tighter as well. She realized that that was merely on instinct…

"Whenever something gets too cold or too hot, we tend to grab a hold of someone special or something special and hug it tight.." she thought to herself…

What could these two mean?

She quickly sat down and opened the locket. It wouldn't open. She looked for any signs of how to open it but no use. She decided to look on the back. She saw engraving and her eyes widened. Her problems were about to be solved.

"Sakura, it's a promise…-Li Syaoran"

"Li Syaoran….." whispered Sakura as she closed her eyes as tears flowed from her eyes

She stood up, her white flowing night gown complimenting her curves, flow with the wind…

"I will wait for you Li! I'll wait forever! I know you'll come back to me! You'll fill my nightmares with dreams again! And when you come back, I'll dance again!" she screamed to the night sky, the stars glowering upon her.

Little did she know, that the loves of their loves were just right in front of them…
