I'll Be With You Forever
By: Kitty
This is my first fan fiction ever so please go easy on me. Don't flame me too much! The only way I know that you like this fan fiction so far is if you tell me. I will NOT, and I repeat, WILL NOT write the next chapter unless I get at least 20 positive reviews. Underneath there are some other stuff you might like to know and I apologize if I spelt anything wrong, please tell me if I do. If there's anything else you would like to know, just contact me. Another thing, just to warn you, this turned out to be extremely long so only read if you're willing to read a long chapter.

Prologue
+~~~~+
*~Sakura~*
" HOEEEEEE!!!" screamed Sakura angrily at the time on the alarm clock. Small beams of sunlight reflected off the girl's beautiful hazel hair. Emerald eyes quickly scanned the room for her plain, blue college uniform but instead fell upon a gold-framed picture of her beloved, Syaoran, and her.
*Flashback*
It was Sakura's thirteenth birthday as the girl pondered sadly and anxiously in the silence of her room. To the hazel haired girl, it seemed like everyone had forgotten how special this day was, only Kero had remembered to wish her a happy birthday. =Uh oh! How do you put a flashback in a flashback? I know! I'll put them in "~..~", OK?=
~..~ Sakura was late coming to school once again but this time she had a happy and excited look on her face. "Hey Sakura!" called her best friend Tomoyo.
"Oh, hey Tomoyo!" replied Sakura cheerfully.
"Why are you so happy today Sakura?" Tomoyo questioned quizzically.
"Oh, you know. That special day that's today, "Sakura answered, with a tinge of disappointment in her usually melodious voice. When Tomoyo gave her a puzzled look, Sakura exclaimed, "Don't tell me you forgot!"
She quickly looked over at Syaoran, who was watching the whole exchange, with pleading emerald eyes and asked, "Did you forget too?" The question took Syaoron by surprise, he could never lie to Sakura when she looked at him with those dazzling emerald eyes. "Umm...uh..." he stuttered unsurely as a red heat took him by surprise. Luckily for him, Sakura wasn't watching him, she was staring out the window blankly with tears starting to glaze her hurt-filled eyes. ~..~
A sudden knock on the door jolted Sakura back to reality as her father called, "Come down Sakura, you have some guests."
"Hai dad," Sakura replies glumly. She slowly descended the stairs sadly but what she saw took her breath away. Everyone was gathered downstairs, waiting for her.
"Surprise!" family members and close friends yelled to the definitely surprised girl. The room was brightly lit by thirteen pink candles on the pink birthday cake and the small pink candles that dotted the room. As she blew out all the candles on the cake except one, Tomoyo exclaimed, "Oh! Sakura's gonna have a boyfriend and we all know who that's going to be, hey Sakura?" Sakura flushed bright red at the comment but only said, "Come off it already Tomoyo!" Tomoyo had been trying to set Syaoran and Sakura up ever since sixth grade.
After everyone had finished eating his or her piece of delicious strawberry cake, compliments of Tomoyo, Sakura got down to opening presents. When she finally came to the last person, Syaoran handed her a box wrapped in pink wrapping paper decorated with Sakura flowers. Sakura carefully unwrapped the precious gift and opened the box to reveal a picture framed in gold. The picture was of Syaoran and her, sitting on a swing together underneath a Sakura tree.
*End of Flashback*
Sakura slowly put the picture back on her walnut wood dresser as a solitary tear make it's way down her cheek. It had been six whole years from the time Syaoran had left for his home in Hong Kong. Syaoran had told her about his departure when they had some time alone after her birthday party. He had promise Sakura that they would be reunited soon but, so far, the statement had been proven false. Sakura had waited for him, agonizing day after agonizing day. Waiting...that was what she was doing these past six years. When was the last time that Syaoran had contacted her? She wasn't too sure herself but she knew that Syaoran had broken the contact within the first year of their separation. She had a whole box of letters and e-mails to prove it.
"Sakura, time for supper!" called Mr. Kinomoto from downstairs. "Coming!" Sakura answered, still startled from the distraction of her thoughts.

*~Syaoran~*
It was a tough afternoon for Syaoran, after experiencing a whole morning of intense training. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner meals were hard for this warrior to squeeze into his already crammed schedule.
The sorcerer hastily brushed aside a few tendrils of his raven black hair as his amber eyes focused on his opponent. However, those amber eyes soon wandered to the Sakura tree in the window just beyond his opponent. A barely dodged kick soon brought Syaoran back to real life as he promised himself that he would not let his attention wander to HER again. It had already been six years since they had been apart. -But it's so hard, everything reminds me of HER. Sakura...-
"Oomph!" Syaoran exclaimed as he barely stifled a groan. The punch that his opponent landed soon brought the raven-haired boy back to reality. As Syaoran regained his composure, his opponent attempted to kick Syaoran in his stomach but this time, Syaoran was ready. Syaoran swiftly dodged the kick and quickly swiped at his opponent's feet. The opponent tripped and fell hard on the blue practice mat. Finally, the competition was over and Syaoran was declared the winner. Directly after the competition, Syaoran immediately took a shower, changed, and flopped onto his green bed to receive a good rest. The last thought he had before drifting into exhaustion induced sleep was, -Sakura...-but he didn't have time to think about anything more because he was already sound asleep.
