This Is the Way it is. This is my first ever fanfic, so please forgive me if any detailsare wrong.Unfortunately I dont own Cardcaptors or anyof the Characters, ((cept prehaps Teren, But feel free to use him if for some reason you do))

I am an New Zealander which means we get the english version, cept I think the people chopped the videos to peices because 1) Li NEVER told Sakura how he felt 2) Many of the cards NEVER appeared ((eg. The Sand)) and 3) Eriol is called Eli here Well enough complaining I had better get writing

A/N 7 years AFTER Li left ((and unlike the show I see Li did tell Sakura his feelings))

Proluge

A tear rolled down Sakuras cheek. She glanced at the card in her hand, her mind somewhere else. 'It'll be seven years, Li, seven years next week, since you left for Hong Kong, Since you left me here' Sakura thoughts clouded her brain. "WHY!!!???" she cried out the window, into the night. She pulled the card close to her and choked back a sob "Why??" she whispered softly to herself. Unable to hold it back she flung herself on her bed and cried herself to sleep. As she did, a card fell from her hand..............The Hope.

~*~*~*~*~*~ Chapter One ~*~*~*~ Teren~*~*~*~*~*

Madison sat at her desk, writing a letter to Eriol in England. She looked up as Sakura approached "Hey Sakura" Madison trailed off at the sight of Sakuras face, "Oh Sakura....." Sakura looked at her feet and slipped into her seat. "Hi Madison." Sakura managed a small smile but the look in her eyes gave away her grief. Madison sighed and shook her head " Coming up seven years isnt it?" Sakura just nodded glumly and hid her face in her work.

As if to save Sakura from further questions the bell rangand soon the room was full of people, chattering happily "Quiet Class!" Mrs Demor, the senior year teacher walked into the classroom "Good Morning Children" Mrs Demor joked 'They arent children anymore, I will miss them when they leave at the end of this year' She thought "Today I have a surprise for you all" This announcement brought a few curious looks from the class, Mrs Demor smiled "We have a new student, all the way from New Zealand!" A few people looked confused. Mrs Demor heard mutters run through the class "New Zealand?? Isnt that near France??" Mrs Demor shook her head "Actually New Zealand is next to Australia, Any way I would like you all to meet, Teren Neptune!" As she spoke a teenage boy walked in, he was tall and his rough blonde hair hung over his deep ocean blue eyes.

A few girls' eyes widened at the sight of him and Madison over heard Chelsea whisper to the girl beside her "What a Cutey!" Madison bit her lip in an attempt to stop herself from laughing out loud.

Sakura looked up briefly but her eyes quickly averted to her work again. She had no intrest in any guy but...Sakura felt the tears well up but she blinked them back 'he has probably forgotten you Sakura,' a voice in the back of her head whispered cruelly 'so forget him' "Never" Saukra whispered to herself

"Can you tell us something about New Zealand Teren?" Mrs Demor inquired, "Sure. It is on the small side and has more sheep than people" Teren replied promtly his eyes sparkling. This caused an instant ripple of laughter through the class. Mrs Demor smiled "How...Nice. Why dont you go sit....." Mrs Demor spotted the empty seat behind Sakura "Behind Sakura" Teren nodded and took his seat.

When Madison heard where Teren was to sit she flinched internally and looked over at Sakura but Sakura just sat there, thinking sadly 'but thats where Li sits, or should sit, if he were here' She sighed and closed her eyes, unaware of the curious looks from her teacher.

After that they day wore on, to Sakura it seemed an enternaty, but at long last the final bell rang, signalling the days end, and the start of the holidays "Well See you all next term!" Mrs Demor said as the class prepared to leave, "Oh Madison, Could I see you for a minute?" Madison looked around for Sakura, but she had disappeared "Uhh...Sure" Madison replied.

Once the class had left Madison walked up to Mrs Demors desk "You wanted to see me?" Madison asked, Mrs Demor nodded "Yes, Its about Sakura, Is she okay? She seems, distracted, upset prehaps?" Madison looked away "Umm Yeah, Sakura lost a very special friend of hers around this time seven years ago.... she has never really gotten over them" Mrs Demor nodded "Thank you Madison."

Sakura didn't go home, instead she walked to the park and sat miserably on the swings, thinking. She didnt notice the person who sneaked up from behind. "So you are the Clow Mistress??" Sakura stood up and spun around, tripping on the swing but before she could fall the some one caught her. Sakura looked up into the bluest eyes she had ever seen. Embarrassed Sakura stood up and tried to steady herself. "Teren" she gasped as she fully saw the person before her. "How, do YOU know??" Teren smiled at Sakuras discomfort "It is a very long story" He looked up eager to change the subject. "Hmm, looks like rain. We had better get you home, Sakura" She just nodded and let herself be lead home, her head full of thoughts. None of which were Li.
