I don't know Card Captor Sakura, same with Card Captors. I'm just your average fan girl who adores everything about it. So, don't sue me, it belongs to Clamp and Nelvana, and other companies that I don't know about.
..WARNING.. Against the real storyline, Syaoran Li does not love Sakura Kinomoto the way he does in the second movie. This is not a Sakura Kinomoto (Sakura Avalon) + Syaoran Li (Li Showron) (S+S) pairing type of fanfiction! The beginning may seem S+S, but they're friends and partners, nothing more. I've warned you. I'll take comments (Because comments are modivation for me), but please.. no flame/hatemail (because a person has a right to express their opinion. ;D) Thanks.

Chapter One.
------------------------------------
"H-hoe..?! Going back to Hong Kong..?" Sakura looked at Syaoran, she could feel tears threatening to sting her eyes. Syaoran was her life ever since she was ten years old, and letting him go just like that wouldn't be anything close to easy.
Syaoran noticed she was heart broken, they'd known each other for six years now, and it would be hard to get used to living back in Hong Kong, China. He let his eyes soften, and his tiers curve into a slight smile. Leaving would be hard to do, and it would be extremely hard if Sakura broke down crying.
"Y-you can't go!" Sakura suddenly flug herself into an tight embrace, burrying her face in his shirt. Syaoran heard the her muffled sobs, and looked down at her, putting an arm around her, and whispering softly into her ear. Sakura just sobbed louder. Even his promises of writing from China weren't enough, she counted on him to be there for her.
She looks just like a little child, Syaoran thought to himself. That was true, deep down, Sakura was really emotional about him. On the outside, though, she was just your normal teenager, still emerald green eyes and short chestnut brown hair, though a bit longer and not pulled into the usual pigtails.
"Xiao," Meiling called. She was walking down the sidewalk to where Sakura and Syaoran had been standing. She took a long glance at Sakura, then focused her full attention on Syaoran. He looked at her and nodded softly towards her.
"One second, I'll meet you back at home." He looked down at Sakura who was still softly sobbing into his shirt. He whispered into her ear once again. In the instant Sakura looked up from his shoulder, and slowly let her arms escaped from around him, and to her own sides. She held a smile for a moment, and nodded. Syaoran took one more long glance at her, and turned, walking down after Meiling, leaving Sakura standing in the same place.
Meiling took a glance back from her spot, several feet infront of both of them, and smiled, waving to Sakura. She paused and waited for Syaoran to catch up with her, then walked closely by his side. The two walked in silence, both had been thinking to themselves about the trip ahead of them.
Once hitting their destination, Syaoran's house, Meiling continued to gather her posessions while Syaoran jotted a small letter to Sakura, placing it into an envolope and sending it off to the Kinomoto residence. And after only moments, he was finished, and so was Meiling. He grabbed his bags and offered to carry hers, but she refused, so they set off.
The walked only a few blocks, and came to the bus stop, which was only filled with the two and their bags. He smiled down at Meiling as the bus came to a stop infront of them.
This was going to be a trip to remember.
------------------------------------
Meiling was flipping pages through her old notebook, the one she used to write letters she never sent and notes in, and sometimes entries as if it were a diary. The book was old, she'd had it for so long the cover was about to fall off. She was reading a certin page, when coming across a certin phrase.
"Xiao," she said, tapping Syaoran, who had been staring out the window of the plane. "I.. have a question." she added, as he turned to look at her.
"Yes, Meiling?" He replied, his caramel eyes met her ruby ones for moment, then he took a short glance at what was in her hands.. Meiling looked down at it, too, shutting it slowly.
"Once a promise is told, you should keep it, right?" she didn't wait for a reply. "Our promise, 'Until you find someone you love more then me, I'll be your finacee', you remember, right?" Syaoran nodded, and Meiling smiled.
"W-we're-- I mean, you haven't found anyone?" Meiling asked. Syaoran was looking back at his window, and minutes went by of silence. Finally, he looked back at her, and took a slow, deep breath. "No, I haven't."
------------------------------------
"Moshi moshi, Diadouji Tomoyo speaking," Tomoyo said cheerfully, as she listened for a voice to appear through the phone.
"T-tomoyo," Sakura was crying again. "He's," she didn't finish her sentence and continued to sob, leaving Tomoyo concerned. The two were best friends, and Tomoyo was always there to help, in times like these, because she cared so deeply for her friend's contentment.
"Sakura, what's wrong? Do you want to come over?"
"H-hai. Can I meet you at the park, though?" Sakura requested.
"Of course." Sakura smiled and hung up, taking her and wipping the tears out of her eyes. She pulled on her shoes, and ran out of the house, and down to the park. Amazingly, Tomoyo, was already sitting on one of the swings. Sakura walked over to her, and took a seat on the swing next to her.
"So, what's wrong, Sakura?"
------------------------------------
Meiling smiled to Syaoran, who quickly turned back and stared out the window of the plane. She grabbed the pencil from her pocket and began to scribble into her notebook, one sentence: The engagement is still on. Then shutting the book and gently hugging it for only the shortest moment.
It was getting dark, and they would arrive in Hong Kong, China, very soon. She looked over at Syaoran, who was sleeping silently.
"Xiao," she whispered. "Are you awake?" He didn't say anything, so she continued. "I hope you never break our engagment, Xiaolang, because I love you, and you're my world," still there was no responce from Syaoran, so she continued to pour out her heart to his sleeping figure. "You don't know how much you mean to me, but that's okay. Just remember, we're ment to be.. you and me." She took a deep breathe, and looked down at the clock. Five minutes till landing.
"Xiao, wake up," she tapped him a few times, and finally his caramel eyes opened ever so slowly.
"Ne," he yawned. "Im awake, I'm awake." He turned to look at her. "Are we in Hong Kong, Meiling?" Meiling nodded.
The plane suddenly came to a landed, and everyone was unbuckling their seatbelts, including Syaoran and Meiling. The two grabbed their things, and waited to get off, then walking down the airport to where they would pick up their bags.
"Hong Kong, we're home!" Meiling exclaimed enthusiastically. Syaoran's lips slightly curled into a small smile, as he watched her become so excited over being back in Hong Kong, China, at long last. "We're back, finally! I can't wait to see if anything has changed, Syaoran!" Syaoran took a long look at her, and smiled completely. Xiao was her pet name for him, and only at moments did she call him by his real name, Syaoran, instead of 'Xiao'.
They stopped and waited for their bags to appear. Syaoran decided, for once, he was going to act happy, and not serious, by accually holding a normal conversation with Meiling. The first topic that came to his mind, was the engagment, and he felt like kidding around with her.
"So, Meiling, have you found anyone that your willing to break our engagment for?" Syaoran chuckled softly, as he watched Meiling's expression. Meiling's ruby eyes widened as she looked at him in amazement for asking that question to her. She smiled, and shook her head.
"No, I haven't." And Meiling had no intention to find someone else besides her precious fiancee, she was completely content with marrying him, from the day they were arranged to marry, till now, she would never ever give him up for someone else.
She flung her arms around him once again, in a embrace, which caused Syaoran to blush to the colour or a brick red crayon. "M-m-meiling! We're in an airport, let go.. People will stare!" Meiling didn't mind though, she would scream out to the world saying 'Xiaolang Li, and Meiling Li are engaged,' if she wanted to do so.
------------------------------------
"Arigatou, Tomoyo," Sakura had calmed down with the help of her best friend. "You're so kind to me," she added. Tomoyo smiled kindly to her, like she always did, her smiles were like sugar, sweet, and perfect.
"Anything for you, Sakura, I'm happy when you're happy," Tomoyo replied, "Would you like to stay a bit and swing with me, while we're here?"
"Hai," Sakura said, seting her hands on the chains of the swing, and began to walk slowly back with her swin, and then jumping on, and putting both her legs infront of her to, and leaning back as far as she needed to to get a boost of height. Tomoyo gently, pulled back and jumped on her swing as well, doing the same as Sakura, but not leaning back as far.
After thirty minutes of giggling and talk, the sun began to go down, and the light began to fade away. Their only choice was to leave the park, and go home finally. Sakura sugested that they walk to Sakura's house and Tomoyo would spend the night, and Tomoyo agreed happily.
The two girls walked down the sidewalk to Sakura's house, where sakura grabbed the mail from her mailbox, and flipped through it, with Tomoyo standing by her side.
"A letter from..S-syaoran," she choked back tears, and opened it carefully. It was short, but that didn't matter. She read it aloud only loud enough for Tomoyo and herself to hear.
Dear Kinomoto-san,
I hope my leaving didn't upset you too much. I'll write to you every once and a while to let you know how things are here. Just remember, just because someone leaves doesn't mean you can't live your life to the fullest. I will be back here, but I'm not gone forever.
Sincerely,
Syaoran Li
"S-syaoran," she choked back tears again, and looked at Tomoyo, whos smile had disapeared. "He doesn't understand."
------------------------------------
After the taxi stopped infront of their houses, it was late. Accoring to Syaoran's watch it was 11:23 in the night time. He paid the driver, and got out first, then extending a hand to Meiling, who happily accepted. The two walked to the house, which seemed to have everyone inside sleeping.
"It's good their sleeping, ne, Xiao?" Meiling didn't wait for a reply. "We can just go to sleep without any fuss." Syaoran nodded in agreement, and opened the door for her. She walked in and took off her shoes, Syaoran right behind her.
Meiling then follow Syaoran down the hall way to their rooms. They both smiled to eachother when reaching their doors, and walked into ,changing and getting into bed, instantly falling to the land of dreams.
------------------------------------
"No, it's not that," Syaoran said, looking at Meiling with deep concern on how she was going to react. "I still love you, Meiling, no one can take your spot and as my cousin,"
"It's over isn't it?" Meiling interupted him. "The engagment is over, right?" Meiling slowly looked down at her feet, she didn't need a responce from Syaoran to know that it was the truth, the engagment was broken, because Syaoran ran found someone he loved more then herself. He attempted to put a hand on her shoulder, and Meiling quickly pushed his hand away.
"Syaoran," he looked at her.. no Xiao, she was going to take this hard. "Who is it?" Meiling blinked back her tears, her voice began to sound shaky. "Who did you replace me with?" Syaoran just stared at her, avoiding eye contact.
"Meiling, I'm sorr--"
"Who, Syaoran!"
"Sa--" Meiling didn't need to hear him say so, he loved Sakura Kinomoto
"Y-you.. chose her, over me?" Meiling's were began to swell with tears as she looked up at him. It's okay, Meiling, be strong, you can handle this. Be happy for him, Meiling continued to tell herself silently.. but no use, she sat down on the corner of his bed, and began to have silent tears fall down her cheeks.
"I'm sorry, Meiling," he added, but she just stared down at the covers of his bed, face in her palsm, while elbows were place apon her knees. He can't be doing this to me, he said he didn't love anyone more then me on the plane to Hong Kong, she thought.
"..I-i'm going to bed," she said without even looking at him, she walked out to the door. "Can you look me in the eyes and tell me you love her more then me?" Meiling replied, taking one look at him.
"I'm sorry, Meiling," he waited for her to say something, but she didn't. "I know you'll find someone.. that special someone."
"You are my special someone!"
------------------------------------
"Syaoran!" Meiling awoke, gasping for air, and dripping in cold sweat. Syaoran.. loving Kinomoto? That couldn't be true! He told me he didn't love anyone more then me on the plane to Hong Kong, she thought. She began to sob, and curled up into a ball, pulling her knees against her chest.
"What's wrong, Meiling?" she heard his voic, and looked up at Syaoran, her vision was blurred because of her tears, but she knew it was him because of the voice. She tried to catch her breath while he walked over to her side. "Are you okay, Mei?" He added. Meiling shoot her head, and put it back on her knees, sobbing softly still.
Minutes passed by, and Meiling finally looked up at Syaoran, and dived at him, putting her arms around his waiste, and knocking him down, laying her face on his chest, letting tears drip onto his shirt.
"Y-y-you haven't found anyone willing to break our e-e-engagment with, Xiao, have you?" Syaoran couldn't pull himself into a sitting position, so he just put an arm around her, and shook his head slowly. "It's okay, Meiling, you must of had a bad dream. What happened?"
He let his index finger and middle finger gently rub against her back, trying to help relax Meiling, and it was working. She slowly stopped crying, but tried to catch her breath. Syaoran's wasn't relaxing though, he was tried. His eyes were slowly closing, but shooting back open everytime Meiling took a deep breath.
"Meiling, are you alright?" He opened his eyes, one last time, and looked down at her, she was sleeping. "Mei," he said, tapping her gently. Her eyes slowly opened and his figure came into view.
"Oh.. gomen nasai, Xiao!" She sat up and let Syaoran stand up. "G'night, sweet dreams." Meiling said, Syaoran hugged her gently, and nodded, walking out of her room and into his own, and down to his awaiting bed.
"Aishi'teru," she whispered softly when he left, then fell back against her pillow, instantly falling back into her dream world.
