+The day after, at school.+
Syaoran was still mesmerized at the letter Sakura had given to him. He read it over and over, and he couldn't believe that, after all that time holding his feelings back, he would be set free.
- She's late again, he thought, looking at his watch.
His eyes lit up when he finally saw her figure run through the door. She sat on her desk, trying to catch her breath. She looked over at Syaoran, and blushed; she had been caught. Sakura looked down, then covered her face with her hands in a rather desperate gesture.
Syaoran got up, and went over to her desk.
"Come," he said in a soft voice, taking her hand.
"H-hai," she managed to say, for her cheeks were still bright red, "But we're going to miss first period,"
"I don't care," Syaoran looked away.
Sakura nodded, got up and followed Syaoran to one of the places where they used to have lunch when they were younger, under a cherry blossom tree.
"About your letter," Syaoran began, "There's only one question left,"
"Which is...?" she looked up, facing the Syaoran she used to know for what seemed like the first time in so long.
"You should have given it to me a long time ago... Why didn't you?" he said.
She looked down. "I... I thought that if I kept on trying to block my feelings away, eventually they wouldn't bother me again," she sighed, "That's what I've been doing,"
Syaoran sighed. "That's what I've been doing too... But not because I wanted to, simply because I never knew whether you liked me back or not,"
"Do you... erm... " Sakura blushed.
"Still like you?" he asked. She nodded. "Of course I do. I was born to like you,"
She half-smiled shyly. "Hontou-ni gomen-nasai," said Sakura, glancing at the floor.
"Goshinpai-naku, Sakura-chan," he lifted her chin up, as he searched for the love he missed in her eyes, "Aishiteru,"
She smiled, a genuinely happy smiled. "Aishiteru, Syaoran-kun," she said, loud and clear, "I mean it,"
He took her hands in his. "Too bad there aren't any stars now," he looked up at the sky, "I'm sure they would be shining for us,"
A tear ran down the curve of Sakura's cheek. Syaoran wiped it with his thumb, and pulled Sakura into an embrace. She wrapped her arms around him tightly and rested her head on his shoulder.
"Sakura-chan?" Syaoran caressed her soft light brown hair.
"Yes?" said the girl, not letting go of him.
"I feel like I'm eleven again,"

{A/N - I think this is the first CCS fanfic I actually finished. o_O I really liked writing it, and I hope you guys enjoyed reading it too. ^^ Also, I'm sorry if there are any mistakes regarding the English grammar and/or my *extremely* poor Japanese. ^.^}
