Starting Over
Author's note: All characters rightfully belong to Clamp, Nelvana, and various others.
Also I am making no profit off of this story, SO DON'T SUE ME PLEASE! I don't even
have money so suing me would be pointless anyways, but I repeat again I am making no
money off this story. This is just for entertainment.
In this story Syaoran, Sakura, Meilin, Tomoyo, and any of those characters are 18. And
Syaoran still hasn't told Sakura that he loves her.
So the story starts:
We see a young boy in his apartment packing up his belongings and ready to leave Japan
and all he knows behind him and go back to Hong Kong forever.
"Syaoran are you done yet, because we have to leave in 30 minutes if we want to catch
our flight on time", yelled Meilin. "I'm almost done just… looking back at some things
for a second", he said. In his hand was a picture of Sakura in a beautiful pink kimono
(Tomoyo had given him this picture since she started to figure out that Syaoran really
liked her best friend). " I will miss you very much Sakura…" he said in a whisper. He
had decided that his family was more important than his own happiness, so he had to
leave, even if it meant leaving "her."
"SYAORAN HURRY UP" yelled Meilin at the top of her lungs. He then started thinking
if it was best to marry Meilin. He then remembered the conversation he had had with his
mother when he called to tell her that he was coming home…
~*Starting of Flashback*~
Ring ring ring! "I will get the phone", said Syaoran's mother. "Hello?" she said. "
Hello Mother" said Syaoran. " My little wolf I am so glad that you called, I have missed
you very much and so have your sisters" she said being so happy. We then see that his
four sister's are listening to their mother's conversation with their little brother. They
then pick up the phone and listen very carefully. " I just called to tell you that I'm…
coming back home" he said with an unsure tone in his voice. " Why? I thought you were
staying there so you could be with your Cherry Blossom, right?" she said. But before he
could answer, his mother interrupted him. " Oh… I see, you told that girl that you loved
her and she said she did not have those kinds of feelings for you. WHY I AM GOING
TO KILL THAT LITTLE GIRL FOR HURTING YOU AND THEN SHE WILL KNOW
NEVER TO HURT YOUR FEELINGS AGAIN! HA HA HA HA HA!" said his mother
getting a little crazy. " No, I didn't tell her that I love her and you will not lay a hand on
her!" he yelled. "Then why are you coming back?" she asked puzzled. "Because I have
decided that you were right and I should come home to where I belong, and also… to
marry Meilin as you wanted me to" he said sadly. " I am so HAPPY that you have
decided to marry that nice girl", exclaimed his mother. "Yeah" he said in a dull manner.
"I am glad that you have decided to settle down with her and forget about that little
Cherry Blossom" she said. "I guess… I gotta go now bye" and with that he hung up the
phone.
~*Flashback Ends*~
He then hears a knock at his door. "COMING" he said. He opened the door to see
Sakura crying her eyes out. " Why didn't you tell me… you were leaving?" she asked
barely whispering. " I didn't want to hurt your feelings", he said. "But you hurt me even
more by not telling me" said Sakura. It pained Syaoran to see Sakura so hurt, that he just
wanted to hug her and tell her that he loved her. He was about to do so when Meilin
appeared behind Syaoran.
"What are you doing here Kinomoto?" she asked in a evil tone. "Just… saying
goodbye…I guess" was all she could say. " WELL did you know that me and Syaoran
are getting…married when we get to Hong Kong?" she asked with an evil smile plastered
on her face. " Ma-ma-married?" she said with tears streaming down her face. Meilin
then showed Sakura her lotus engagement ring. Sakura felt her heart break into a million
pieces and those pieces breaking into a million more. She looked at Syaoran and started
running as far away as she could from his apartment. "Sakura, come back!" yelled
Syaoran and started to chase after her. Meilin just smiled and kept on packing her stuff.
" He is finally mine" she said to herself.
Sakura had run all the way to the park and stopped because she was out of breath. She
then sat down and leaned up against a tree crying… A few minutes later Syaoran finds
her and goes over to her. "Hi" he said looking down at the ground. "Do you love her?"
she asked. "Well….I…um.." was all he could say. " If you don't then you can't marry
her because I-I love you!" she said in a trembling voice. Syaoran saw how hurt she was,
but he had to leave and marry Meilin even if he didn't love her. He could always grow to
love her is what he thought. He knew what he was going to say next would hurt Sakura
very much, but he had no choice in the matter. "Sakura, I love Meilin very much and I
am sorry, but I just don't love you. You're my friend, but nothing more than that."
Sakura saw that he had made up his mind and really did love Meilin. "Fine then. Have a
happy life, but before you go there is one thing that I have to do" she said. Syaoran
watched as he saw her get up and stand right in front of him. "Close your eyes" she said.
He didn't know what she was going to do, but he closed his eyes. He then could feel that
Sakura was putting her arms around his neck and he could feel her staring at him with
those beautiful emerald eyes. She then took a deep breath and kissed Syaoran
passionately on the lips, not ever wanting the kiss to end. Syaoran then suddenly put his
arms around her waist and pulled her closer to him kissing her back. Sakura then broke
the kiss and looked at Syaoran. "Good-bye, my love" she said as she turned around and
ran away in the direction of Tomoyo's house. He watched as Sakura disappeared from
his sight. He wished that he didn't have go, but he had to no matter what. With that he
walked back to his apartment.

A/N: That is part one of Starting Over. I will write part two soon.
Part two will be about Sakura telling Tomoyo what happened
and wondering if she should let Syaoran go, or fight for him.
Please Review! And I will try to have the 3rd part of "All for Love"
And "Returning Home to You" ASAP!
