---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
No matter how much I try, I don't think I ever can have the courage to tell Sakura, but....... Then I would lose a fight without even fighting. I stood up brushed the dirt off my pants and was determined to win Sakura back. But, was it possible? I felt the coldness and the loneliness of the forest. I rushed home.
"Li!" Sakura called.
I turned around and saw Sakura standing there in the dark alone. I ran to her, but, the more I have ran the farther she went.
*RINNGGGGGG* My alarm clock went off.
"Huh?" I sat up. I realized it was just a big nightmare.
I got dressed quickly and headed downstairs. No one was home, I made myself some breakfast and sat down to eat it. While I was eating, I thought about Sakura, and how much that I actuarially love her but not telling her. In three days it will be Christmas. And all of us are going to Tomoyo's house for a Christmas party. I thought about telling her at that time, but is it really wise? After I finished my breakfast. I headed back upstairs. Lots of things were on my mind. But, there is not enough time.
I touched the siverly box sitting on my desk. That was what I was going to give Sakura for Christmas. I just hope she likes what's inside!
*Sakura's house*
Sakura sat down at her desk thinking. Should she tell Li how she feels? Or have he moved on? Sakura thought about the good times she had with Li. Then she thought about the good times she had with Michael. But, they only been friends for a week. But, she has been friends with Li for seven years. *I just don't know what to do! Maybe I should go and talk to Tomoyo instead* Sakura thought, she grabbed her coat and headed for the door.
"I am going over to Tomoyo's!" Sakura called out.
"Okay." Touya replied.
Sakura quickly put on her skates but then realized the ground is very slippery. It wouldn't be a good idea to skate on. She took them off and walked towards Tomoyo's house. Soon, she arrived.
*Knock* *Knock*
"Oh, hi Sakura." Tomoyo opened the door and grinned.
"Hi, Tomoyo." Sakura said.
"Would you like to come in?" Tomoyo asked.
"Yeah, that would be great." Sakura took off her shoes and stepped into the house.
"What do you think?" Tomoyo asked.
It did look great, there was a huge Christmas tree standing tall. Decorated with candy canes, bells and lots of other fun things.
"It looks great!" Sakura commented.
"Thank you." Tomoyo smiled. " So, what did you want to ask me?"
"Something about Li." Sakura said.
"Oh okay, would you like some hot chocolate?" Tomoyo asked.
"Sure, that would be great." Sakura smiled.
After, they got their hot chocolate. They sat down to talk.
"So?" Tomoyo began.
"Well......."
"Does it have something to do with Michael too?" Tomoyo asked.
"Yeah, I really like Michael as a friend. But, he likes me in that way, but sometimes I feel like that too, he's a great person. I can really have fun with him. But, Li......." Sakura sighed.
"Do you still like Li?" Tomoyo asked.
"Of course, but, I have doubts that if he still likes me." Sakura glanced at Tomoyo.
"Well, have you asked him?" Tomoyo asked.
"Yes, well no the question was unclear so I didn't know if he understood me." Sakura said.
"What did he reply when you asked him?" Tomoyo asked.
"He ran away, and he kept on running until I couldn't even see him any more." Sakura could feel wetness in her eyes. But, she fought back her tears.
"Why don't you try again?" Tomoyo suggested.
"No, that might hurt me even more. I know Li have moved on, and I couldn't help that. In four whole years, I never ever told my feelings to him. And maybe he didn't even like me in the beginning." Sakura sighed deeply.
"Oh I see." Tomoyo looked down at her mug.
"Well, thank you Tomoyo for the hot chocolate and that you're always here when I need you." Sakura smiled weakly.
"You're welcome, you can come any time." Tomoyo smiled.
"Okay, thank you." Sakura smiled.
"Good bye then." Tomoyo said.
After they had finish saying their good byes. Sakura left and headed for home again. As the days past. Soon, Christmas day came.
*Christmas day or Dec.25th*
I stood there standing in front of the mirror. I smiled. Maybe Christmas couldn't be as bad as I thought it would be.
*At Sakura's house*
"That dress looks great on you!" Tomoyo commented.
"Thank you." Sakura smiled.
"Well, come on then, we have to go!" Tomoyo said.
"Okay." Sakura smiled. Sakura and Tomoyo rushed down stairs and began waiting for the guests. The first guest to arrive was I.
*Knock* *Knock*
"Hi!" I said. "And Merry Christmas." I smiled.
"Hi, Li welcome. And Merry Christmas to you too." Tomoyo said. I handed her a present. I had another one in my hand, it was for Sakura.
"Merry Christmas Sakura." I said with a smile.
"Merry Christmas Li." With that, Sakura headed towards the kitchen.
Soon, everyone arrived and everyone was having fun and enjoying them selves. But, I wasn't. I wanted to talk to Sakura, but she was no where to be found. My hands are sweaty. And I was still holding the present. Finally, I found her.
"Hi Sakura." I said.
"Hi Li." She replied.
"I didn't see you." I began.
"Oh, I was busy helping with the snacks." Sakura replied.
"Oh, I just wanted to give you this." I said and handed her the silvery box. With that I disappeared. I didn't feel like talking or finding out the reaction when Sakura opens the present. I just walked away.
*Later on when the party ends and everyone leaves*
"Well, bye Tomoyo!" Sakura waved and left. It was a great party. Sakura had lots of fun, but after she received a present from Li, she didn't know if she should have opened it. But, by then it was still in its box and wrapping paper.
"Hello?" Sakura called out. She wondered if anyone was home.
"Oh hi Squirt just came back?" Touya stuck his head in Sakura's room.
"Touya! Don't ever call me Squirt!" Sakura said.
"Well, I am going to bed see ya in the morning!" Touya left.
The present was still sitting on Sakura's desk. And Sakura sat there staring at it. She finally decided she should open it. She carefully unwrapped the wrapping paper, and found a card. There was a poem on it. (I didn't write the poem my friend did, I told you I have no sense in rhythm)
Dear Sakura
I will never forget you,
Not in a million years,
It is because of you,
I shed these tears.
Every poem I write,
Every feeling I emote,
It is because of you,
I sat and wrote.
So don't be angry,
And quick to blame,
It is because of you,
I'm in so much pain.
So, I wish you a Merry Christmas and a happy New Year!
From: Li.
Sakura read the card over and over again. She couldn't understand it. Did that mean Li still have feelings for Sakura, or is it just a poem in a card?

I would like to give credits to my good friend Li Syaoran, well too bad he doesn't write for fanfiction.net. He wrote the poem so I could use it in the fic. Well, I'll try to convince him more to write for fanfic.net . Like I tell ya he's got talent!
