AN/ Hi! I'm sooo sorry that I haven't updated this fic yet, but there is no
need to wait for the next chapter, it's here now! I was banned from the
computer for a while and I only found out that I already had the number of
reviews I wanted. Oh yeah, I almost forgot, S+S aren't 16 yet, they're
still 15. I'll explain it later sometime in the chapter. And I nearly
forgot, Syaoran is the only one who isn't in Tomoeda and the things that
happened with the Clow Cards and all that is still part of the fic.
Everyone in Tomoeda knows all about the Clow Cards and stuff. Magic from
Syaoran, Sakura and Eriol is normal. Syaoran and Sakura haven't told each
other that they love each other, despite what happened during the Hope
Card. I forgot a lot of stuff, ne? Uh...this chapter's gonna be sappy...
Thanks to the people who reviewed this story!

~Flashback~
Two weeks later, at the stroke of midnight, two babies were born. Their names were Sakura Kinomoto and Li Syaoran.
~End Flashback~
Chapter 2: The Confession
RING! RING! RING! Sakura Kinomoto's alarm clock kept on ringing. A yellow bear-like flying creature flew over to the alarm clock and looked at the time. It was already 6:45. 'Tomoyo's going to be upset if they don't get there on time, I'd better wake her up now.'
"SAKURA, YOU'RE LATE!!!" Kero yelled at the sleeping figure of the young teenager who immediately got up and sprinted to the bathroom. "I'M LATE!!!"
Kero chuckled. It was a Saturday and Sakura wasn't supposed to have school that day, however the day before...
~Flashback~
A violet-haired girl with amethyst eyes ran towards an auburn-haired girl. "Sakura-chan, there was an announcement after you left!" Sakura turned to look at her best friend, Tomoyo Daidouji.
"Slow down Tomoyo, you don't need to run that fast to catch me!" Tomoyo slowed down to catch her breath.
"Ano, in case you forgot, you're on the track team, Sakura-san." Said a voice behind Sakura. She quickly turned around to look at whoever just spoke and fell down on her butt.
"Hoe! Ouch, and in case you forgot Eriol-kun, you can be quite surprising at times!" Eriol chuckled and helped Sakura get up.
"Sorry Sakura-san, I couldn't resist teasing you." Sakura dusted the dirt off her skirt and Kero flew out of her body bag.
"Sakura, you have to be more aware of your surroundings, you fell on top of me!"
"Whoops, sorry Kero-chan, I didn't mean to. Anyways, what was the announcement?"
"There's school tomorrow. It's going to be casual dress school day and it starts at 7 am. I'll be at your place at 6:45 tomorrow to make sure that you don't forget."
"Arigatou, Tomoyo-chan, I'll try to wake up early."
"You'd better; I don't want to be late either!"
"Alright, I'll see y'all tomorrow!" Sakura and Kero went home.
~End Flashback~
'She has no idea what's gonna happen...' Kero smiled and flew downstairs to greet Tomoyo who just came in.
~Downstairs; Living Room~
"Sakura-chan, I told you not to forget! Mizuki-sensei will be waiting!"
"Gomene Tomoyo-chan, I couldn't find a good outfit to wear. I just decided on this a moment ago and I still had to fix my hair. I was also busy thinking..." Sakura said motioning to her outfit with a faraway look in her eyes. She was wearing a white blouse over a black spaghetti strap top with cherry blossoms pattern, a black mini skirt up to right above her knees and black strappy sandals. She was also wearing a black anklet on her left ankle, a silver choker, silver loop earrings and a silver bangle on her right wrist. Her hair was simply let down but she had two tiny braids that were tied together by a black rubber band behind her head.
"You look sooo kawaii Sakura-chan!" Tomoyo squealed and Sakura sweatdropped. Apparently she's still like this around her despite the fact that they are 3rd years. 'Especially with what's gonna happen later Sakura- chan, you'd better look your best...'
"What were you thinking about?" Sakura snapped out of her thoughts and turned her head away.
"Nothing Tomoyo-chan, absolutely nothing." She saw a picture on the coffee table and smiled slightly.
"You still miss him a lot, ne?" Sakura dried her eyes and turned to Tomoyo.
"Hai, Tomoyo-chan, I love him. It breaks my heart being away from him. You know I haven't seen him since the Hope Card."
"Sakura-chan, I promise you that he hasn't forgotten about you at all. Who could possibly forget kawaii Sakura-chan?" she comforted Sakura and gave her a hug.
"Tomoyo-chan, you know that he's never coming back. He told me that he didn't know if he could come back at all."
"You never know Sakura-chan; you never know what unlikely things that might happen every day."
"Ano... Tomoyo-chan, let's go before it gets too late." She picked up her school bag and started out the room but Tomoyo stopped her.
"You won't be needing this." She said as she took the bag out of Sakura's hands. She then got her white body bag and placed it over Sakura's head. "Don't ask and don't worry, I know what I am doing."
"Okay Tomoyo-chan... whatever you say..." They finally left for school.
~School~
"I'm so sorry Mizuki-sensei, I made Tomoyo-chan late. It was all my fault."
"It's alright, please sit down. We will continue today's vocabulary words." Sakura and Tomoyo sat down. "Now today's theme is composed of two words. Does anybody know what these words are?" everyone in class raised his hand except for Sakura. "Everyone?"
Suddenly the chairs and tables around Sakura disappeared and a huge pink banner was hanging on the board.
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY SAKURA-CHAN!!!" the entire class erupted with cheers and screaming of Sakura's classmates. Pink and green fireworks were exploding outside the window of the classroom.
"Hoe, I totally didn't expect that!!!" Tomoyo ran forward and gave Sakura a big; big hug. She then nodded at Eriol who magically made an entire table of presents appeared in front of Sakura with a huge pink and green cake in the center.
"Tomoyo-chan, you and Eriol-kun planned this all along didn't you?" Tomoyo nodded.
"Hai Sakura-chan, I wanted to celebrate your birthday at least once."
"You know that I don't like celebrating my birthday!"
"Sakura-chan, did you even remember that today was your birthday?" Sakura paused.
"Ano... I don't think I remembered..." Tomoyo sighed loudly.
"Sakura-chan, why haven't you been celebrating your birthday?" Sakura looked out the window to look at the pink and green fireworks.
"It reminds me of him." Tomoyo smiled in realization. She then nodded to someone nearby them.
"I forgot, you both shared the same birthday. Well, I know one thing; it makes me sad to know that you're still moping about him." She then motioned for someone across the room to hurry up and get there.
"Tomoyo, I'm not even sure of what I feel right now. Reminding me that he's not here doesn't help my situation at all." Suddenly, someone hugged Sakura from behind and kissed the back of her head.
"Who isn't here?" a male voice asked. Sakura turned around in surprise to find someone holding her. It was a boy who was her age who had messy chestnut hair, a lean built and the most mesmerizing amber eyes (AN/ sorry, I had to put that to emphasize how much Sakura missed him.) that Sakura had ever seen.
"Syaoran-kun, you're here! I can't believe that you're here! I missed you so much!" Sakura said as she hugged Syaoran VERY tightly.
"Hai Sakura-chan, I'm here now so you don't have to choke me." Syaoran said as he pecked the top of Sakura's head. Sakura giggled.
"Gomene Syaoran-kun, I just missed you a lot, that's all." Sakura released him and shyly looked down at the floor. Syaoran flexed his arms and smiled broadly at Sakura.
"I see, so THAT'S why you tried choking me to death" Sakura childishly pouted.
"Mou Syaoran-kun, you don't have to tease me about it!" she punched him on the shoulder lightly. "How come you're back? When'd you get back? Not that I don't like you being here." Syaoran looked thoughtful for a moment.
"I was told that I wasn't supposed to come back to Tomoeda at least until my training and my studies were finished. I then realized something that I needed to do that was very important to me back here in Tomoeda, so I came back. I had to train overtime in order for me to finally return and I had to study double time as well. I came back yesterday and I've been living in Eriol's mansion since."
"I see, well; I'm glad that you're finally back. What did you realize that made you come back?" Syaoran fumbled with something in his bag. "Hold on a sec, I need to do something..." he finally found what he was looking for and smiled brightly.
"Happy Birthday my dearest Sakura-chan." He said as he pulled out a small green velvet box. He handed it to Sakura as her face lit up.
"Syaoran-kun, you didn't have to do this for me." She said as she blushed when their fingers brushed against each other when she got the box from him. She tentatively opened the small box and what she saw made her gasp.
Inside the box was a silver necklace with a silver pendant. The chain of the necklace had tiny pink precious stones. The pendant had her picture engraved on the front with her name engraved under her picture as well. Her engraved picture had emeralds where her eyes were and her hair had tiny pink stones in her hair. The pendant itself was lined with really tiny pink and green stones. It was a very beautiful gift.
"Syaoran-kun, this is... wonderful. It's so beautiful; I can't find any other words to describe it." She whispered as she gazed at the necklace. Syaoran carefully took the box from her and took the necklace out. He went behind Sakura, slipped off the choker on her neck and cautiously placed it around her neck.
"Sakura-chan, you look like a goddess... you're so beautiful." Sakura blushed very hard. She looked deep into Syaoran's amber orbs and smiled shyly.
"Thank you so much Syaoran-kun, this is absolutely wonderful." Syaoran fingered the pendant on the necklace around hr neck.
"Sakura-chan, I'm not any good with words and I know that I need to say what words alone cannot. Check out the engraving on the back of the pendant." Sakura looked at him in surprise and turned the pendant around to look at the back.
My dearest Sakura,
I want you to know that I love you with all
my heart and I hope you do too.
Love always,
Li Syaoran
Tears filled Sakura's eyes as she read the inscription. She finally knew that he loved her and now she knew how she really felt as well, she was overjoyed. She threw her arms around Syaoran's neck and cried on his chest. Syaoran began to panic.
"Oh no Sakura, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to make you cry! I just really wanted to tell you how I feel, honest! Please don't cry, I can't bear to see you sad!" Syaoran said as he held her tightly. Sakura shook her head and smiled at Syaoran from beneath her tears.
"No Syaoran-kun, that's not it at all. It's just that... I've been longing to hear those words from you. I want you to know that... that I love you too." She hugged him tightly. Syaoran smiled and hugged her even tighter. He didn't want to let go of her ever.
"Kawaii..." everyone in the class whispered as they watched the scene between the two. They immediately parted and blushed HARD. Tomoyo jumped out of nowhere holding her camera and a bunch of papers.
"Whoever wants a copy of the party with this kawaii moment, please fill these order forms out before the end of the party and give them back to me!" Tomoyo announced.
"ME! ME! I WANT ONE! LET ME HAVE ONE!" all of Sakura's classmates were rushing towards Tomoyo to get a copy. "Great, I now have enough money to buy more material to make for Sakura-chan's clothes!" Sakura and Syaoran sweatdropped as they watched their friends. (AN/ me too. ^_^UU)
"Dang, people are gonna shove this in our faces on Monday..." Sakura sighed. She then saw Mizuki-sensei in a far off corner watching them amusedly.
"Mizuki-sensei!" Sakura walked over to her to say hi. "Thanks for coming!" Mizuki-sensei looked at Sakura in surprise.
'I've heard this voice somewhere...but where? I can't seem to remember...' she looked at Sakura's eyes and then she looked at Syaoran something suddenly lit up in her mind like a matchstick.
Amber and Emerald
Born at fortnight,
Unknown to each other,
Their power they bide.
Once they meet,
They are pulled apart,
Only to find the weapon
That shatters the heart.
Due to an enemy,
The two reunite
Their true power concealed
'Till true love they find.
They fight, one lifeless
The other barely alive,
Neither side can live
As the other survives...
Realization hit her as she saw Sakura and Syaoran together. 'I have a feeling that the prophecy I heard two weeks before their birthday sixteen years ago has something to do with these two... could it be? If it is so... their greatest battle is yet to be fought. She sounds exactly like that voice I heard that night. I have a feeling that they're still not sure of their feelings, that's why they don't seem to have awakened a new power. Could their power be the ones that could possibly finally defeat...'
"Mizuki-sensei, what's wrong?" Sakura interrupted her thoughts. She turned to look at the cheerful emerald-eyed girl in front of her.
"Nothing Sakura-chan, nothing's wrong." She smiled at her not wanting to worry the now sixteen year old girl. Sakura smiled back at her.
"Okay Mizuki-sensei, I'm gonna go and get something to eat over there." She pointed to a table filled with food across the room. "Wanna come?"
"I will follow later Sakura-chan. I had a big breakfast. You go ahead." Sakura simply shrugged, not suspecting anything.
"Okay then, I'll see ya in a bit." She waved to her and left to eat.
"Be very careful Sakura-chan. Your cards alone may not be enough..." she whispered after Sakura's retreating figure and she vanished. (AN/ teleportation, not abduction people.)
Sakura was busy looking at the food when someone grabbed her from behind.
"Hoe!!!" she turned around only o find Syaoran's smirk.
"May I cut in?" Sakura shook her head.
"Nah, I'm hungry and no cutting in line!" she said as she playfully winked at him.
"Well, if you say so..." he grabbed a fork from the plate near Sakura and picked 4 pieces of sushi off her plate before she noticed anything. "Thanks for the food!" he said running off. Sakura blinked at him, unaware of what he did and then she looked at her now empty plate.
"Mou, Syaoran-kun, bring my food back!" she began to chase him around the room. She finally reached him and she hugged him tightly. He suddenly began to tickle her tummy. She ran away from him and he began to chase her around the room this time. Since she was on the track team, it took him a while to catch her, but he finally intercepted her. Her caught her around the stomach and he twirled her around.
"So you've finally caught me. Took you a long time, eh? And I thought you were busy training all that time you were away from Tomoeda! Tsk; tsk Li Syaoran!" she joked as she pretended to scold him.
"The great one and only Li Syaoran always wins." Syaoran proudly said as he puffed out his chest.
"But always loses against me!" Sakura flipped over his head while he was showing off and ran to the refreshment table. "Hurry up!"
"I'm on my way!" he ran to the refreshment table as well and stepped in front of her. He began to move closer to Sakura. He held Sakura's chin and slowly tilted it up. Sakura closed her eyes in preparation. Soon they were only inches apart.
Suddenly the room began to shake violently, destroying the 'special moment' between Sakura and Syaoran.
"What was that?" Sakura held on to Syaoran tightly.
"Syaoran-kun, I can feel an evil aura somewhere here."
"Where?" she pointed towards the window. Syaoran looked at the window and brought his sword out.
"Bring your star wand out, you might need it." Sakura recited the incantation for the star wand and the key pendant transformed into a wand. Suddenly, the room was filled with darkness.
"Oh no, what happened now?"
~To Be Continued~
AN/ Hi! Well, how was that for a cliffhanger??? Well, if you want me to update this fic, I have to get 15 reviews first. I need a little time to think about my other fic. If anyone knows the incantation for the star key to become the wand, please tell me. Ideas, comments, anything will b greatly appreciated EXCEPT FOR FLAMES. Please R+R! All you gotta do is click that little button down there that says 'Go', review this chapter and that'll make me happy! I also need some support for a friend of mine who now writes in ff.n. I've heard her story and it sounds kinda cute. Her pen name's jung-wha. It's called 'Clow's Comic Book' and I think it's supposed to be a CCS crossover with... er I forgot, but read it anyway please.

She ran away from him and he began to chase her around the room this time. Since she was on the track team, it took him a while to catch her, but he finally intercepted her. Her caught her around the stomach and he twirled her around.
"So you've finally caught me. Took you a long time, eh? And I thought you were busy training all that time you were away from Tomoeda! Tsk; tsk Li Syaoran!" she joked as she pretended to scold him.
"The great one and only Li Syaoran always wins." Syaoran proudly said as he puffed out his chest.
"But always loses against me!" Sakura flipped over his head while he was showing off and ran to the refreshment table. "Hurry up!"
"I'm on my way!" he ran to the refreshment table as well and stepped in front of her. He began to move closer to Sakura. He held Sakura's chin and slowly tilted it up. Sakura closed her eyes in preparation. Soon they were only inches apart.
Suddenly the room began to shake violently, destroying the 'special moment' between Sakura and Syaoran.
"What was that?" Sakura held on to Syaoran tightly.
"Syaoran-kun, I can feel an evil aura somewhere here."
"Where?" she pointed towards the window. Syaoran looked at the window and brought his sword out.
"Bring your star wand out, you might need it." Sakura recited the incantation for the star wand and the key pendant transformed into a wand. Suddenly, the room was filled with darkness.
"Oh no, what happened now?"
