Special thanks to: ALL OF MY FRIENDS!!!!

ARIGATOU, MINNA-SAN!! I LUV U ALL… hehehe

Summary: Sakura is before an orphan. She met a boy in the orphanage and they became friends. But then, her family took her and she was separated with the boy. Her story began as a teen girl who is cheerful. So, will Sakura meet the boy again?

*The previous chapter*

"Sakura… Why you? Why it's so easy for you to forgive me for all things I've done to you? You should have hated me," Syaoran asked.

"It's because… I love you, Syaoran… I will never hate you… Even if you'll find another girl, I won't hate you… I will still love you…" Sakura answered smiling.

Syaoran was surprised. He was hurt again. He thought that he was really stupid that he even dared to hurt the girl he loves, the girl that loves him even more than herself.

Syaoran bitted his lips and said, "I swear, Sakura. I swear I will never do this to you anymore. I swear I will protect you no matter what."

Sakura smiled and said, "Thank you… Syaoran."

Then, after that, she closed her eyes and her body went limp.

--In the night, still at the hospital--

Sakura stirred. She slowly opened her eyes and only found that it was dark. All that she could see is just a small lamp shining far away from her. Even though she felt very weak, she kept trying to sit down, and for the result, she was half lying and half sitting. She realized that she's still in the hospital. All what she could remember was when Syaoran finally want to see her again and when he swore that he would protect her.

Sakura tried to search for her hand. She felt her right palm was very warm. She looked at it and found out that Syaoran was sleeping as he kept holding her right palm. She smiled sadly at him. The moment when he was misunderstood was coming back to her mind. Suddenly, she felt her tears were rolling down her cheek. She didn't know why she was crying. She just felt that she needed to cry.

Sakura closed her eyes and continued sobbing and crying. Suddenly she heard,

"… Sakura?"

Sakura opened her eyes, but her vision was blurring. What she could see is just a figure of a man with chocolate brown hair was facing her, and she knew it was Syaoran. Tears couldn't stop rolling from her eyes. Then, Sakura felt a big thumb was wiping her tears. She blinked for couple times until she can see normally again.

"Are you alright, Sakura? Do you feel anything hurt?" asked Syaoran worriedly.

Sakura only could shake her head weakly. Syaoran became more worried with her reply. But he decided the best thing he could do is to hug her and calm her. So, he hugged her softly and gently. He brushed her hair and whispered at her ear.

"I'm so sorry for what I've done to you… I really can't forgive myself for doing that to you…"

Sakura tried her best to hug Syaoran back. Even though she couldn't reply it with a tight hug, but at least, she succeed in putting her arm around him. Tears falling down from her eyes as she whispered.

"… It's… okay… Syaoran…"

They hugged for some times. Then, Syaoran pulled back. Sakura became confused and afraid that she had said something wrong. But then, she saw him smiling. He held her right shoulder with his left hand and his right hand caressed her cheek.

"Do you feel anything bad, sweet blossom?" asked Syaoran teasingly.

Sakura blushed but then frowned embarrassedly, "S-Syaoran!"

Syaoran laughed but then said, "I'm serious. I'm worried about you."

Sakura blushed again and answered, "I… I hope so…"

Syaoran then stood up and said, "Then I'll go to ask the nurse to check you."

Before Sakura could stop Syaoran, he had gone out of the room to find for a nurse. Sakura smiled slightly seeing her boyfriend, the one that she loves, has come back into the real him again. She sighed as she lied down and smiled. Soon, Syaoran came with a nurse.

"Sakura! I've brought the nurse. How do you feel?" asked Syaoran worriedly.

"Don't worry, I'm fine. You worried too much," Sakura replied as she stuck out her tongue at him.

"But still, let the nurse check on you," insisted Syaoran.

Sakura giggled at his stubbornness. "He's really cute when he insists like that. His stubbornness, it's really fit on him," Sakura thought.

The nurse then checked Sakura and then she said, "Don't worry. She's just fine. She just needs a lot of rest and she should eat now to fill her stomach."

"Uh, sorry, but how can we get the food. It's in the midnight now," asked Syaoran.

"We can bring some for you, but because it's out of the food schedule, you have to pay," explained the nurse.

"That's fine. Just bring the best food for her, I'll pay for it," said Syaoran.

The nurse then went out to bring some food. Sakura then grabbed Syaoran's sleeve with her right hand, while her left hand took the blanket in her fist. She frowned because she didn't want to make him difficult. Syaoran became more worried about her. He was afraid if she felt sick again or anything.

"Sakura… Wha-"

"I'm sorry, Syaoran…" said Sakura.

"Huh? What are you saying, Sakura? You didn-"

"You no need to buy me some food because I'm fine… Please, if the food come, please just eat it because-" Syaoran silent her by putting his finger on her lips.

"I want to buy it for you. Just consider it as my gift," said Syaoran with a smile.

Sakura couldn't say anything anymore. She knew it was only waste of time and energy to have argument with Syaoran because he was very stubborn with what he had decided. Only if she was lucky, she would win the battle with him. Soon, the food came and Syaoran fed Sakura with that slowly and gently. At the end, he kissed her forehead and wished her a good night and asked her to continue her sleep. The next morning, the doctor said that she could go home in two days and when she felt healthy enough to go home. Sakura always hates being in the hospital, so she had been begging him to just bring her home, but he refused. For now, he just wanted the best for her health. After two days, Sakura went home happily. She hugged her boyfriend all the way home.

"You know, Syaoran, I have waited for this day! At last, I can go home, free from the hospital!" said Sakura childishly.

Syaoran only chuckled at her. He couldn't help it. She was too cute. Syaoran brought her closed to him and kissed her forehead, "I'm glad you come back, Sakura."

"Hoe?"

Syaoran chuckled and said, "Nothing."

Sakura asked Syaoran to visit at her house. She asked him to sit on her couch and relax while she making some drinks for him. He wanted to help her, but she refused and pleaded him to just sit down using her puppy eyes. He couldn't deny her whenever she put her puppy eyes. Not long she came out with two cups for her and her boyfriend, hot chocolate for him because she knew that he likes chocolate, and also strawberry juice for herself because she likes strawberry.

Sakura sat right beside Syaoran and held his hand. Both of them blushed lightly but then smiled to each other. She rested her head on his shoulder and closed her eyes. He kissed her forehead and stroked her hair.

"Syaoran…" called Sakura.

"Yes?"

"I got tickets to a swimming pool. I was thinking of asking you to go with me. What do you think?" asked Sakura shyly.

Syaoran smiled and said, "Sure."

Sakura was very happy. She smiled at him and kissed his cheek. Syaoran blushed heavily but then tried to calm down.

--Next Morning--

"Sakura-chan! I bet you will be looked so pretty in this swimsuit! Your beloved Syaoran won't take his eyes from you!" said Tomoyo happily and proudly.

"To-Tomoyo-chan!" Sakura tried to warn her best friend from teasing her as she blushed heavily.

Tomoyo giggled and asked her to quickly pack her things. She put her swimsuit, towel, soap and shampoo, also her other clothes. She wore a pink shirt and a white skirt. She then heard someone called her. It was Tomoyo. She quickly went downstairs and brought her bag. She saw Syaoran stood in front of her front door. When she was about to go outside, Tomoyo whispered.

"Hope you can get a very gorgeous date with him."

Sakura blushed and whispered back, "Thank you."

Sakura smiled at Syaoran and said, "Let's go!"

Syaoran smiled and nodded. They went to the train station to take a train. In the train, they were very lucky because they got seats so they no need to stand up the whole way. But then suddenly, when they were sitting, a plump middle-aged woman directly sat beside Syaoran and made them being pressed very closely together. They blushed but then tried to calm themselves.

When they arrived, Sakura quickly went to the changing room to change her clothes into her swimsuit, besides Syaoran put his bag on a table between two chairs. He then waited for Sakura. Not long, she came out, still wearing her pink shirt with her swimsuit behind her shirt. Syaoran then went into the changing room to change his clothes into his swimming trunks too.

When he came out, he didn't see where he was walking and bumped someone. He was very surprised and didn't see who the person that he bumped.

"So-Sorry…" said Syaoran.

"Syaoran… Please look where you are going…" frowned Sakura.

Syaoran blushed when he saw Sakura only in her swimsuit, "I… I'm sorry…"

Sakura forgot to do her heating. She directly went into the swimming pool. She actually couldn't swim, so she asked Syaoran to teach her. But she was really afraid if she will drink the pool water, so whenever she lost her balance she quickly held or hug Syaoran.

When she was trying to swim herself, she suddenly got cramps in her legs. It was very hurting for her. She cried for help and luckily, Syaoran was next to her. He quickly rushed her.

"Sakura! What's wrong?" He asked worriedly when he saw Sakura's face in pain and there were tears in her eyes.

"My legs…" Sakura hugged Syaoran tightly and cried on his chest.

Syaoran didn't want to ask more questions to her. He asked her to hold him tightly and he brought her up from the pool and laid her on the chair.

Syaoran kissed her forehead and asked as he brushed her hair, "What's wrong, Sakura?"

Sakura kept crying and sobbing, "C-Cramps…"

"I'll make it disappear, but it will be very hurt for you. Are you ready?"

Sakura only nodded. Syaoran then moved to her legs and hold them slightly. She winced as she uttered a tiny scream. He was hurting inside when he saw her face in pain. He lifted her leg slowly and massaged it softly. Sakura closed her eyes tightly and cried harder.

"P-Please… stop…" Sakura asked and Syaoran quickly stopped. She then realized that the pain slowly disappeared.

"I'm sorry. I'm very sorry, Sakura," Syaoran wiped Sakura's tears with his thumb.

Sakura shook her head and said, "N-No… The pain… has disappeared…"

Sakura tried to smile at him, "Thank you…"

Syaoran smiled at her and then took his jacket and gave it to her. He asked her to wear it so that she wouldn't feel so cold. He then wore his T-shirt and was about to go.

Sakura held his hand weakly and asked, "Where are you going?"

Syaoran held her hand with both of his hands, "I just want to buy some drinks for us. I'm sure you are thirsty because of your cramps."

Sakura shook her heads, "I bring my own water… Please don't leave me alone…"

Syaoran nodded and said, "I won't. I will never leave you."

"Promise?"

"I promise."

Sakura felt her heart was like being stabbed by many knives. Her legs didn't hurt anymore, but her tears just went out from her eyes. She didn't know why, the thing she knew was just she wanted to cry. She was very happy that Syaoran promised that he won't leave her, but in other side, she felt very sad.

"W-What's wrong, Sakura?" asked Syaoran in panic.

Sakura shook her head and wiped her tears, "N-No… I'm fine…"

Sakura tried to calm herself. She then said, "Syaoran…"

"Hmm?"

"You don't have to squat like that, you know. Why don't you just sit on that chair?"

"I just want to stay close to you, may I?"

Sakura blushed. She just nodded and said quietly, "O-Okay…"

Just when Syaoran was about to hold Sakura's hand, someone called, "Hey! Aren't you Syaoran?"

Syaoran quickly looked where the sound came from, "M-Mei?"

The girl quickly jumped and hugged Syaoran, which making Sakura a little bit jealous.

"Long time no see, Syaoran! Since you went here, to Tokyo, to get your scholarship!"

"M-Mei! Stop it!"

The girl finally released her embrace. Sakura asked, "Ano… Syaoran… Who is she?"

"Ah, Sakura, let me introduce to you. This is Mei Ling, my cousin," explained Syaoran.

Sakura sighed in relief, "Owh…"

"Ah! So this kawaii girl is your girlfriend, isn't she, Syaoran?" asked Mei Ling in a very teasing tone.

Both Syaoran and Sakura blushed, but Syaoran, tried to be calm and smiled, "Yes, she is."

"Hey! What's your name? I'm Mei Ling, and like what Syaoran has said, I'm his cousin. Hope you didn't think that I'm his other girlfriend," said Mei Ling.

"Hoe! No! Of course I didn't… Umm… Mei Ling-san…" said Sakura nervously with a little bit lie.

"Just call me Mei Ling. You know, you no need to be so polite to me. I'm sure that we will be in one family later," teased Mei Ling.

"HOEEEEEEEE!!!!"

Syaoran only blushed in silent. He then tried to change the topic, "Why are you here, Mei? Shouldn't you be in Hong Kong?"

"Well, I miss my Wolfie cousin, so I decided to come here," lied Mei Ling.

"I know you're lying, Mei. Tell me the truth," sighed Syaoran.

"Geez, why you always know whenever I lied to you?! Alright, actually my mom asked me to see how you are going because…"

Mei Ling pinched Syaoran's ear and continued her words, "this little naughty and lazy wolf never write back the letter we sent you."

"Stop it, Mei. I never think that I need to answer all those unimportant questions," said Syaoran as he tried to take Mei Ling's hand from his ear.

"Hey! Don't be that mean!" Mei Ling stuck her tongue out to Syaoran.

"Oh, come on, you two, don't fight because of a simple reason…" asked Sakura.

"Don't take it too serious, Sakura-chan, we always have a fight before," said Mei Ling lightly.

"And you are the one who always start it," said Syaoran.

"What?!"

"Oh, now, stop it! By the way, Mei Ling-chan, where will you stay when you are in this town?" Sakura tried to stop Syaoran and Mei Ling from fighting.

"Well, I was thinking of staying at Syaoran's house, but I don't think he's fine with it," said Mei Ling as she glared to Syaoran.

"I never said I allow you to stay at my house," replied Syaoran coldly.

"And I NEVER ASK YOU!" Mei Ling screamed directly into Syaoran's ear.

"Hey! You're breaking my ear!"

"Hmph!"

"Can't you two don't fight for a moment?!" Sakura scolded Mei Ling and Syaoran.

"Okay, Mei Ling-chan, if you want, you can stay in my house," said Sakura.

"Really? Oh, thank you, Sakura-chan!" Mei Ling hugged Sakura tightly.

"I'm sure you'll regret what you said, Sakura," said Syaoran sharply.

"Syaoran!" Sakura scolded him.

"Oh, Syaoran, just say it, that you're jealous because you can't stay in Sakura-chan's house," teased Mei Ling again.

"WHAT! No way!" Syaoran then quickly glanced at Sakura, who was hurt.

"N-No, Sakura… I mean…"

"It's okay, Syaoran… You no need to explain it… I understand…"

Sakura quickly got up and went to the changing room. After that, she quickly went out. Syaoran could only stare at Sakura. He didn't know why his legs couldn't move. He felt like he had no power anymore.

"It's your fault! You shouldn't say that!" said Mei Ling as she went leaving Syaoran alone.

"I have to talk to Sakura…" murmured Syaoran quietly as he ran to Sakura. (Syaoran is a football player, so he can run very fast! Don't be confused if he suddenly pops out behind Sakura XD)

--Back to Sakura, outside, walking on the road--

"Syaoran… Why did you say that?! You love me right? Then why did you say that! WHY!" asked Sakura in her mind.

She didn't see where she was walking and a motorcycle almost hit her. She was too surprised and couldn't do anything. Her legs wouldn't move. The motorcycle didn't slow down or stop either.

Sakura closed her eyes as tears went down to her cheek, "Is this my time already? Am I going die right now?"

She shut her eyes tightly, knowing that it would hurt if the motorcycle hit her. She waited, and waited, but she didn't feel hurt or anything, instead, she felt something quite heavy was on top of her.

"Why I didn't feel hurt? Or I'm already died? But what's the thing on top of me?" Sakura wondered in her mind.

She felt the thing on top of her moved and something was shaking her body. She heard somebody was calling her name in vague.

"I… I know this voice… I know it! It was… someone… in my past… but who?" Sakura was asking again in her mind.

Then, she decided to open her eyes. At the first sight, she saw a little boy, with shadows on his face that made her couldn't see his face (confused? Read the flashback on chapter 1 to give you more clues!). She blinked deeply and then she tried to see again, and this time, she was looking at her boyfriend, Syaoran. He was on top of her, but having his arms to support him, so that he wouldn't be too heavy for Sakura. His face looked very worried.

"S-Syaoran?"

"Sakura! Are you alright?! What are you doing?! You were almost being hit by a motorcycle!"

"I… I… I think… it'll be better… if I die… So I won't be a burden… for you," Sakura started to sob.

"What?! No way, Sakura. You'll be never be a burden for me," Syaoran stroked her cheek.

"I'm sorry for saying the previous thing. I didn't mean it," Syaoran was starting to hesitant.

"W-What do you mean?"

"I… I didn't mind of staying together with you, I mean, even from now, or if we're destined to be together until we died," Syaoran blushed lightly. (Well, he means, he wants to marry with Sakura when they got older ^ ^)

"Y-You sure?" Sakura blushed.

Syaoran only nodded. His face was slightly red. He then moved to sit down right beside Sakura, letting her to sit down as well. (Well, when Syaoran caught her and threw themselves from the road, they fell onto a small place that was filled with many plants.)

Both of them didn't say anything. Then, Sakura shyly hugged Syaoran. She wrapped her arms around Syaoran's body and rested her head on his chest. She felt she was blushing. She didn't face Syaoran, and only buried her face on his chest. She felt he was tensed because of surprised, but soon, she felt him relaxed. And slowly, he wrapped his own arms around her.

"I love you…" whispered Sakura.

"I love you too," replied Syaoran. He rested his chin on her head as he brushed her hair.

He then brought Sakura's face to look at him, "I'm sorry."

Sakura was confused and asked, "For what?"

"For saying that thing, which made you unhappy."

Sakura smiled and kissed his cheek, "Syaoran, you've apologized for it already."

Syaoran didn't say anything. Sakura then stood up and gave out her hand for Syaoran. He reached her hand and she helped him to stand up. Syaoran stood up right in front of Sakura and took her face. Syaoran moved closer and his eyes were really serious. Sakura was nervous and blushed lightly.

"S-Syaoran?"

"Sakura… May I…" Syaoran brushed Sakura's lip slowly.

Sakura realized what he meant, "I… I…"

"May I?"

Sakura nodded and she just closed her eyes. Soon she felt Syaoran's breath on her face. She was ready. Syaoran took her face and lowered his own face. They were now very close. Both of them were ready, and then…

Cliffhanger!!! Hyaaaaaaa XD

If you pay attention, Sakura felt very sad when Syaoran promised her that he won't leave her… I wonder why… Hehe… Just see later!

Well, I was thinking of bringing this story into the ending… What do you think? Give me your idea and your comment!
