I don't own CCS or CC, although I wouldn't be too sad if I did...and Meilin
is not in this fic. And Eriol is in Japan, but is not with Kaho (I don't
like her)

Prologue: Syaoran's Shattered Heart
It had been three years, Syaoran thought to himself, lying on his bed. Three years since the incident with the Void card and three years since he had been in Japan. The elders made him leave Japan right after the Void was caught, but this time he wasn't as sad, because now he had her. The only girl who could make his ice cold exterior melt and disappear. Sakura. His emerald-eyed angel. The elders, after much pleading on his part, had allowed him to keep contact with her as long as it didn't get in the way of his training. It had worked since he left, he kept in touch with letters and occasional phone calls. He was thinking about spending the summer in Tomoeda, as a surprise for her.
His peaceful thoughts were interrupted by a servant coming in. "Master Syaoran", he said, "You have mail from Japan. I assume you want to see it right now?" Syaoran jumped up. "Of course!", he said excitedly, "Thank you!"
He looked at the letter, which would actually deliver him much more pain than joy, and was surprised to see Tomoyo's name in the return address. He wasn't upset, for he and Tomoyo had gotten closer over the years, but he had been wishing for a letter from Sakura, since he hadn't heard from her in awhile. Oh well. I should be thankful that Tomoyo sent me a letter. It's nice of her to think of me. He opened the letter and read;
Dear Li-kun, It has been awhile since we've communicated, and I wish this could be under better circumstances. Enclosed is a letter from Sakura, she asked me to send it for her. Li-kun, I must warn you that you won't be happy after reading this, and I am terribly sorry for the pain the letter will cause you. If you ever need to talk, you have my number. Sincerely, Daidouji Tomoyo
There was another note under hers; it said:
Dear cute little descendant, HIIRAGIZAWA!!!! he thought angrily and amused. As Daidouji-san has stated above, this letter won't be a pleasant one. And although we've had our spats in the past, we are technically friends, descendant. If you need anything or want to talk, you can always call me, Syaoran. Hiiragizawa Eriol
Syaoran scrunched his eyebrows confusedly. What did she mean, this letter would cause him pain? And why didn't Sakura send the letter herself or call him? And why the hell would Hiiragizawa be nice to him? They were somewhat friends now, but Eriol never called him Syaoran, not ever. Curious, he opened the letter.
Dear Li-san, Li-san? Why is she calling me that?, he thought anxiously
There is no easy way to say this, Li-san. You've been gone for the past three years, and I've been waiting, hoping, dreaming that you would come back to me someday. But you haven't. A couple phone calls and a few letters isn't the way to keep a relationship going. And while you were gone, I...I...I found someone else Li-san. Someone who's there for me, who cares about me deeply. His name is Sho Xian, a transfer student from Bejing. And I've found that I care for him too. So please accept my deepest apologies, Li-san, but I think it's time we ended our relationship. I can't and won't say that I want us to be friends, even though I want us to be, because I know you'll be upset after reading this, and quite angry, too. And you have every right to be, but I really don't want you to hate me, Li-san. Goodbye.
Kinomoto Sakura
Nani?? Syaoran found that it was taking all his self control to keep from losing his temper. Why!?, he screamed miserably to himself. How could she do this to me!? She couldn't even bring herself to call me and tell me herself! Do I really mean that little to her now!? How am I going to live without her? Why! Why did she leave me!? I love her... And that was all he thought before he slid into unconsciousness, leaving his angry thoughts behind...
7 Days Later...
Syaoran slowly opened his eyes and looked around. He was in his room, in his bed. What was he doing here? He felt like he'd been run over by a truck. He blinked and slowly tried to sit up.
"At least you're finally awake, Syaoran", a voice said to him. He looked over, startled, to see his best friend and cousin Kai Ling. She looked at him sadly. "Your sisters were going to take you to the hospital, but I told them not to, since you weren't suffering physically, only emotionally. I'm guessing it was because of this". She held up the letter. He flinched, remembering the letter and what it said. "Please forgive me for reading it, Syaoran, but I had to figure out what was wrong with you to calm your sisters down. I'm the only one who has seen it, but Damien knows about it, and your sisters figured out what was wrong easily. They went to get some rest, and Damien's at school getting our homework, since I stayed to take care of you."
Syaoran felt himself completely breaking down. He didn't mind crying in front of Kai though, because he knew she would never tell anyone. Warm tears slid down his cheeks as he said in broken gasps, "It hurts, Kai. It hurts...a lot...to know...to know that she's perfectly content... in the arms of some other guy...and here I am...crying my eyes out...because of her. And even though we won't be together again, I don't want to forget her."
Kai sighed and said, "I can't imagine the pain you must be going through, Syaoran, and I can't imagine what I would do if Damien ever did that to me (A/N: FORESHADOWING ....OOOHHH pay attention). But you know that you can always talk to me and Damien, and your mother and sisters too. It'll take awhile, but you have to get through the pain. Instead of thinking about what could've been, think about what has been. What did Sakura teach you? I know she taught you to be happy. To smile and laugh, to enjoy life. The best way to remember her and to get on with your life is to be happy. Each time you do any of those things you'll remember her, and the pain will eventually fade. I'm sure of it", she said smiling.
"Thanks Kai", said Syaoran, smiling just a little. "That helps a lot, even though it still hurts like hell. Um..., one question though...uh...um...I feel stupid asking this, but...how long have I been out??", he asked innocently. Kai fell over anime style and said "1 week, Syaoran".
Just then Damien came in, with a kiss for Kai and books for Syaoran. "Gee, is that all I get? She gets a kiss and I get homework?", Syaoran complained. "Well", Damien replied, "If you really wanted a kiss all you had to do was ask". He smirked. "Don't even think about it Mao", Syaoran said threateningly, "Or you'll find yourself six feet under and stone cold. Just go spend time with your girlfriend. Now." (A/N: Six feet under and stone cold means dead and buried, k?). "Gladly", he replied, and he and Kai left him with his thoughts.
A soon as they left, Syaoran made a promise to himself. He decided that he would get over Sakura. It would take awhile, but he could do it if he tried. He didn't want to mope around for the rest of his life over someone who didn't love him. He shouldn't and he wouldn't. He would move on, and he would remember Sakura for all she taught him. But one teeny part of his mind kept saying You'll love her forever...
Did ya like it? I hope so, cause it took me awhile to think of a plot. Reviews are welcomed!!
