There are some things people just aren't willing to talk about. I have one of those things.well its not really a thing, its more of a it, a someone, a girl. The axis of all evil, girls. But I guess I need to get it off my chest. The reason I'm not willing to talk about it is because I let her go. I loved her more the anything's humanly possible. I loved her so much, and I ever told her. But now its 8 years after I left. I'm smarter and wiser, and going back. Okay so maybe I'm not that smart or wise.
What you did to me
By Riley SI was 9 the first time I met her. She was 8. My father just died and I just moved here from Hong Kong. My mother thought since I had never been out of china I should broaden my horizons. So I moved here with my butler. My mother was morning and thought she needed to be close to home. So there I was new to this strange land called Japan. She was in my class. She sat right in front of me. She was the first person that talked to me. As I walked to my seat like the instructor told me to she looked up and smiled at me, the said "hello Li-kun" I was instantly in love. Well I'd like to say I was, but that would be a lie. I was a cold distant boy, and it took a lot of prying on her part to get me to open up. She was the only person outside my family that I allowed to call me by my first name. By the time I was 11 my mother wanted me home again. But I couldn't leave her. I was so in love. I never told her. I just said goodbye and gave her a teddy bear that I had made about a year before, the first time I realized I was in love. She gave me one too. And we said our tearful goodbye for the first time. So here I am on the flight from Hong Kong to Japan again. I'm older, a man. I look out the window and sigh. Its changed so much, I can tell that from all the way up here. And soon I'll be in my apartment, and back to life the way I want it to be. My mother said I get to live out here for as long as I want. And own that I'm in college I hope that I get to stay forever.

" Sakura!! Oh I can't believe we don't have ay classes together!" cried a purple haired girl.
" Tomoyo!" the girl next to her face faulted. " Were in different majors I didn't think we would have anything the same, fashion design and acriology are kind of different."
" Oh. But even though we don't have any classes together you promise to be my model for the show right?"
"Hai, Tomoyo, Hai" Sakura sighed, something never change.
"It's so cool that you decided to follow after your dad's footsteps. I bet if he was still alive he would be so proud of you!"
" Yes I think he would, but now he's with mommy. I think its better this way. He's happier I can tell." Sakura sighed looking up at the sky.
"well we better get to our classes. Yours starts soon, do you know where it is?" Tomoyo asked looking at her map.
"Hai, Touya came here remember he filled me in on where my classes should be. I'll see you after class Tomoyo!" Sakura smiled as she started to walk to her first class in college.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Maybe I should of got a map from the lady, I'm completely lost now! Syaoran thought as he wondered around hopelessly. From across the quad he could see a girl walking over to the 'C' building.
" excuse me! Miss?!" Syaoran screamed as he ran over to her.
" Hoe?" the girl said as she turned around.
Upon hearing this Syaoran stopped. No it couldn't be… could it?…
" Sorry to bother you, but you seem to know your way around better then me, and I was wondering if you could tell me where this class is?" Syaoran asked as he pointed to his locator. He looked up into the girl's bright emerald eyes. He swallowed his breathe, it looked just like….
" ohh Yes, that's right next to my first class here I'll show you."
" Thank you."
" so are you a first year too?" the girl asked as they walked to the 'C' building.
" Yes, I just moved here."
" Ohh from where?"
"China."
"Very large china." She said with a giggle.
" Very small Japan." He finished. The girl looked up at him.
" You know Christopher Durang?"
"yes."
" wow not many people here do. That's good to finally meet someone who understands me a bit." She laughed. As they reached there rooms. "Ohh by the way my names Sakura Kinimoto."
Syaoran swallowed once more. " my… my… my names Syaoran Li." He finally said, right before the bell rang and he retreated into class.
Syaoran.. no it couldn't be the same one could it…. Syaoran…
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
" Sakura!!!" Tomoyo screeched as soon as she came in from her first class.
"I'm up here!" Sakura called from her room.
" ohh! How was your first day Sakura tell me all about it! I met this cute guy his name is Eriol. He's majoring in astronomy. He was very nice and cute. Did you meet anyone? Was your teacher nice? " Tomoyo mumble on before noticing sakura wasn't even paying attention she was looking at old pictures. " sakura what's wrong?
" He… he came back…" Sakura mumbled not looking up.
" Who did?" tomoyo asked as she took a picture from sakura. It was one she took back when they were in elementary school. Sakura was hugging a very red looking boy.
"who is… ohh…." She said remembering. It was Syaoran. Sakura had a huge crush on him before he left. As she never told him. He must of come back for college or something, and he ran into sakura.
" Sakura.. what did he say?"
" I don't even know of he remembered me…. He didn't say anything about it…I realized it was him right when he said his name then the bell rung and he went to class. Gods Tomoyo, he was so… so…"
" Hot?" tomoyo asked with a smile. Sakura didn't even look at her.
"Grown up. He was so cute, so masculine, his eyes they were… and his face. Gods Tomoyo, he's so grown up and so cute. And now I feel like I did when I was 11. All the butterfly's and everything… oh! Tomoyo!" Sakura cried as she flung herself on her bed.
"Sakura, back when we were 11 you loved Li-kun right?" Tomoyo asked as she looked at another picture of Sakura and Syaoran.
" hai."
" Do you think it could have been possible that he might of loved you too?"
Sakura looked up and raised an eyebrow.
"No…"
" Sakura! Look here look at these pictures, see how red his face is? You don't blush like that from friends. Do you think that school might not be the only reason he came back to Japan?" Tomoyo asked shoving a bunch of pictures in front of Sakura.
"…" before Sakura could answer the doorbell rug.
"Saved…" Sakura mumbled as Tomoyo gave her a dirty look as she left to get the door.
"Yes?" Tomoyo asked as she opened the door to 19-year-old boy who was looking down on her with intense Amber eyes.
"do I…" Tomoyo mumbled, before her eyes lit up with realization of who this is. " Li-Kun!" she cried. Sakura who herd Tomoyo's chirp looked up from the pictures and quietly walked to the door and down to the stares and peered around the corner.
" Tomoyo?" Syaoran asked.
" Hai! Li-kun! What are you doing here? Sakura's upstairs, here let me…" She was cut off as Syaoran grabed her arm from preventing her to get sakura.
" sakura lives here too?"
" Hai." Suddenly Syaoran's face turned an unusual shade of red. "Hohoho" Tomoyo laughed.
" no I wasn't here for Sakura… I umm… I just moved in down stares, and the land lord told me that she gave you my spare key, incase I ever get locked out, and I thought I would come up and get it…." Syaoran trailed off, as Sakura finally decided to come out of her hiding place and walked down the stairs, a ever-present smile on her face.
" Syaoran –kun! Its good to see you again, sorry I didn't recognize you this morning, you look so different, so grown up." Sakura said as she reached him.
" You too Sakura. Your so grown up I would of never recognized you." Sakura blushed.
" umm yes your spare key, she did give it too us. Its right…. Here." She said pulling it out of a drawer by the coat rack. And handed it to him.
" no, why don't you keep it, so if I ever get locked out, or need you, you can come on down, I know it will be In safe hands." He said as he placed it back in Sakura's hand.
" are you…"
" yes, well I better get going I have a class in 15 minutes. I'll see you later." He said as he turned and walked back down the hall to the elevator.
Tomoyo, who had time to get her video camera and record all the Kawaii Sakura and Li pictures was smiling devilishly behind her camera. " oh! Sakura that was so cute!."
Sakura just put the key back where it was before, and walked up to her room with a small smile on her face.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
This is how it went. Me and Sakura would walk to our first class together on Tuesdays and Thursday's. sometimes afterwards we would go for coffee or something, it was really nice, getting to know each other, catching up on our lost years. She told me how in high school she was a cheerleader, and how she had a boyfriend her junior year, but they only went out for 5 monthes, she never told me why they broke up. Ad she told me how Tomoyo was into this guy that has a class with her or next to her. And she told me about how her father died. And I felt so bad for not knowing, i would of come down just to make sure she was okay. And she said that's why she wants to follow in his footsteps. This went on through out whole first year in college. Our sophmore year we were best friends, and rumors were flying around about us being a couple, but nothing was proven. We were best friends, and we may flirt once in a while, but we weren't a couple.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
" Sakura… Sakura… Sakura!" A voice yelled cutting Sakura away form her dream.
" hoe…" She mumbled cracking an eye open.
"Don't 'Hoe' me young Lady!" Syaoran said, standing at the foot of her bed.
" Syaoran? What are you doing here?" Sakura asked confusingly.
" Don't you remember you said we were going to go out to breakfast with Tomoyo, and Devil boy. That was at 10, its 12 now!"
" Syaoran don't call Eriol a devil, wait! Its noon?!?!?!" Sakura asked jumping out of bed.
" yes."
"Ohh how about a lunch? Lets go hurry!" she said trying to rush Syaoran out the door.
" umm.. Sakura? Cute P.J.'s" Syaoran said smirking. She pajamas were blue short that had clouds on them, and a blue tank top.
" What? AH I didn't change!" Sakura yelled running into her room. She emerged a minute later in a jeans ad a t-shirt.
" I think I liked the pajama's better." Syaoran said still smirking.
" Syaoran! Shush you!" Sakura said walking in front of him.
" I was just kidding Sakura!" Syaoran said as he gave her butt a light smack.
" Syaoran stop! Gosh what will people say?"
" Everything there already saying." He said as they reached his convertible.
Sakura just eyed him.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
" Finally what took so long?" Tomoyo asked as Syaoran and Sakura walked up to there table.
"Li-kun was " waking her up" tomoyo. Remember. Syaoran likes to take his time." Eriol said with a grin.
" Eriol. I swear, one more comment and-!"
Syaoran was about to finish when Sakura interrupted him.
" Eriol, you should know that I'm a heavy sleeper, I mean if I can sleep through you and tomoyo-"
" SAKURA!!!!" Tomoyo screamed In the middle of her sentence, cheeks flushed.
"Please Li-kun you might want to refrain your girlfriend from saying such things." Eriol said trying to calm Tomoyo down, who was at the moment barley letting him touch her.
" first sakura can say what ever she wants. Second that one point for us!" Syaoran said raising his hand to give Sakura a high five. " and third, she's not my girlfriend."
"Why did you put it third, normally if you didn't want her to be your girlfriend you would put it first." Tomoyo pointed out.
" can we just eat!" Sakura said breaking the small war going on.
" fine." They all grumbled but agreed.
Throughout the lunch Tomoyo kept giving Syaoran looks as if she wanted to talk to him, but not in front of everyone else.
" Umm excuse me I need to use the restroom, Tomoyo do you know where it is?" Syaoran asked, getting up and placing his napkin down on the table.
" ohh yes here, I'll show you, I need to use it too." Tomoyo said smiling.
When they reached a place where they knew no one would here them, Tomoyo started.
" When are you going to tell her?!" She demanded.
" Tell who what?" Syaoran asked obliviously.
" Sakura!"
"What about her?"
" Gods Syaoran you're almost as dense as her."
"I'm not going to." Syaoran said looking away.
" What why?"
" Because look at her. See how happy she is? I don't want to take that away; I don't want to ruin our friendship, by blurting out the fact that I love her, the fact that I've been in love with her since I was 10. I don't want to make her feel... feel obligated to say anything back. All I want is her to be happy."
" Syaoran, don't you see this last year you have been back Sakura's been the happiest I have ever seen her. It's because of you. Don't you think that she will be happier if she knew someone loved her?" Tomoyo asked making Syaoran make eye contact. " That's all she really wants. Did she ever tell you why she broke up with her boyfriend she had in High School?"
" No…"
" It was because she didn't love him. She couldn't her heart belonged to someone else. And she realized it and broke up with him. He didn't love her either; it was more of a physical attraction then anything else. She wants love, she wants to know that someone loves her so much that HE would give up his life somewhere just to be close to her. That is why you came back Syaoran you cant hide it."
Syaoran just looked down and headed back to the table.
"what did you do Syaoran fall in?" Eriol asked as he and Tomoyo returned to there seats.
"Shut up Eriol." Syaoran grumbled.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Okay so I'm a chicken, we already established that. I, Syaoran Li, Me the one that would spent almost every summer at a never ending boot camp to train, a warrior I am. And I' afraid to tell someone that I love them. Those word can be scary.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
" Sakura you ready?" tomoyo asked as she finished applying her lipstick, " they should be here any minute."
" yes Tomoyo, I'm ready, but Tomoyo did you have to make these close so… revealing?" Sakura asked as she walked down the stares.
" Yes, club's get hot, you'll thank me for giving you body some breathing. And besides, li-kun's draw will drop when he see's you." Tomoyo beamed up to Sakura.
" Tomoyo…"
" Room service." Came a voice from outside the door.
" Hello Li-kun, hello Eriol!" Tomoyo asked as she placed a small kiss on Eriol's cheek.
" you look marvelous Tomoyo dear." Eroil said.
" thank you."
" You look really.. really…" Syaoran started his cheeks already burning red. "wonderful."
" thanks." Sakura said blushing. She was wearing a short tight black skirt and black heals. She was in a short, tight pink tank top that only had one strap, and was open a little in the side. You could see her tight stomach and it showed a little more cleavage then Sakura would of liked.
When they reached the club it was already packed and jamming. Tomoyo got them all in for free as in seeing her mother owned the club.
" isn't this great?" Tomoyo yelled over the loud music to them. They all reached a small booth that was reserved just for them and put there stuff down. Tomoyo quickly graped Eriol and headed out to the dance floor.
Syaoran looked at Sakura and smiled.
"I'd love too." She said before Syaoran could even say anything.
" How did you know what I was gonna say?"
" I know you Syaoran, I can read you mind, I know your every move." Sakura said grapping his hand.
" Really then what am I gonna do now?"
" Um…." Before Sakura could reply Syaoran had already given Sakura's butt a light smack.
" Syaoran!"
" hey I thought you knew what I was gonna do?" Syaoran teased.
" Shut up and dance." Sakura odrerd.
When they reached the dance floor it was like they left everything else behind, and it felt as though it was only them. They were so close, and moving together perfectly. There bodys went together like a perfect match.
They kept dancing for 45 minutes. Soon Syaoran wasn't sure if it was the music pulsating in his ears or his lost train of thought but he pulled Sakura closer to him. His face was in his hear and even there he could smell cherry blossoms. The music kept playing and making Syaoran forget any rational thought. He pulled Sakura closer o him, and there was only about an inch between there lips. He looked at Sakura again and noticed how really beautiful she was, not just her physical features but you could almost see her light and cheerful attitude around her. He couldn't take it anymore. He closed the gap. To Syaoran It was ecstasy something he had wanted since her was 11.
Without even thinking Sakura out her arms around Syaoran's neck and kissed him back. Both of them were getting light headed and had to end the kiss. They stood there for a minute before they started to realize where they were. Syaoran grasped Sakura's hand and pulled her back to there booth.
" Syaoran…" Sakura breathed as she sat down.
" Shh…." Syaoran said as he placed his hand on the side of her face and leaned in and kissed her again.
Sakura put her hands on his chest and kissed him back again. When Syaoran pulled away, he looked at Sakura, who looked up and him before burying her head into his chest.
" Syaoran you have no idea how long I have been waiting for you to do that." Sakura whispered.
" I think I do, I love you so much Sakura." Syaoran whispered the last part.
" Really?" Sakura asked looking up at him.
" really I've loved you since I was 10 Sakura." Syaoran said cupping her face in his hands.
" Syaoran. I love you too." Sakura said tears streaming down her face.
" Sakura…" Syaoran whispered before leaning in to kiss her again.
" Wow Li-kun really doesn't waist any time does he?" Eriol asked from behind him.
" Eriol!" Tomoyo yelled from behind her camera. " You just ruined up a perfect Sakura and Syaoran picture. There love confession. Ohh!"
" How about I give you a perfect Eriol and Tomoyo picture?" He asked leaning in to kiss her.
" And you said I don't waits any time." Syaoran commented from his seat.
" Shut up Syaoran cant you see I'm working here, go back to your girlfriend."
Sakura pulling Syaoran's face towards her before he could make another comeback to Eriol.
" Not such a bad idea now is it?"
Yeah I'm done. Surprisingly that only took me 2 days to write, normally I get stuck. But nope! Well I hope you all liked it, hope it made sence to everyone, please review thanks all!
