'Dear Diary,
Another day gone without a sight of him. It's been 4 years. Perhaps I've been too strong. I'm too tired to carry on thinking about him. I may give up soon. It just wears me out, remembering the days.'
Sakura stopped writing, as a single glistening teardrop blotched her diary. Sakura watched as the floral pink pattern started to smudge and pink swirls swirled in the teardrop.
A few moments later, a few more tears came rolling down her cheeks and stained her diary. She buried her head in her arms and sobbed quietly. A phrase began to play again and again in her head- 'I'll be back. Will you'll wait for me?' Sakura started thinking back.
'If you don't have any feelings for me, it's better that I should be setting off.' Syaoran turned around and headed for the airport gate.
'No, Syaoran, please...' said Sakura falling to her knees. Tears were threatening to overflow.
Syaoran looked back with a hopeful expression.
Sakura mustered the courage to say, 'A... a.anata wa suki des!'
Syaoran ran back to her and embraced her in a hug.
'Do you still have to go, then?' asked Sakura.
'Yes. Going back to the past is essential for you to be here, now in the present. I am the past's Syaoran's inner voice to save you and to tell him, or rather myself fall in love with you. I am as much the present as the past. It has been 2 years since our Card capturing days. I am happy to have met you, and to have experienced your care and concern.'
Sakura said, 'But you'll be back won't you?'
Syaoran paused for a while, as if fumbling for the words to say. 'Well, I'm not sure. Yelan's at home summoning the magic for me. But, I'll be back. You'll wait for me?'
Sakura nodded slowly, as she watched Syaoran disappear through the airport gate.
(In case any of you didn't know, that was Sakura's memory.)
"Sakura, wakeup!" Touya rapped on Sakura's room door.
"SHUT UP AND GO AWAY!" Sakura hollered.
"Have you been drinking again? You'll be late for school."
"School? What's that? I said go away!" Sakura waved her hand, trying to find the person behind her, and wave him away.
Sakura cracked her eyes open. The whole world was upside down and it was raining outside.
'Great, just what I need to dampen my spirits a little more.' Thought Sakura sarcastically.
Sakura sat up and peeled a page of her diary off her face. She rubbed her aching neck and yawned. She looked down on her desk. There sat her diary. She slammed her diary shut and shuffled into the bathroom.
She looked into the mirror and saw a girl with tousled long brownish hair looking back at her with blotchy red eyes. Sakura gave a sigh and started to wash up.

Syaoran grabbed a jacket and shouted, "Wei, I'm going out for a stroll."
Wei's voice drifted from one of the rooms; "Do you need a map?"
"Ha ha, very funny Wei. My memory's not that bad. Anyway, I won't be back for dinner. I guess Sakura will let me eat there."
"No, seriously. They renovated the part where Sakura stays. You may not be able to find her house."
"No. I'll look like a tourist if I took a map."
"Ok then, suit yourself."
Syaoran felt the cool evening breeze on his face, ruffling his hair. He breathed in deeply and sighed. It felt so good to be back again, just like the old times with Sakura.
Syaoran gazed at the stars, which were burning brightly tonight. He ventured into an alley, a shortcut that led to Sakura's house.
He rounded a corner and blinked.
'Wei was right. This place's TOTALLY different!'
In front, where Sakura's house was supposed to be, was a tourist shop called '1 Stop in JAPAN!'
Syaoran crossed over and purchased a town map. 'Should have listened to Wei.'
He smoothed out the map and continued to walk, while looking at the map.
Suddenly, he rammed into a boulder head-on.
"Ow! What's this pillar doing in the middle of the street?" Rubbing his head gently, Syaoran folded his map and looked up. "Oh, I'm.sor.sorry.mi.mis.mister," stammered Syaoran. There in front of him, towered a person, about seven feet tall.
'He doesn't look hurt, but my skull has been crashed into many pieces.' He was muscular, muscles rippling beneath his shirt. Short dark hair. A shadow fell across his face.
He looked down at Syaoran and eyed him, like Syaoran was some dwarf cowering under his massive size. He took off his sunglasses.
Syaoran looked away and tried not to laugh. His lungs were ready to explode.
'Boy is he UGLY! Squashed face. And I thought he was some handsome prince charming.'
Sniggering, he tried to look at him to prevent himself from bursting out laughing. "I am really sor.ha ha-"
"What!"
"Ha.Happy that you're not ha.ha.hurt!"
"Who hurts me has to pay the consequences." He growled.
"You're hurt? Ha. That means I'm dead!" muttered Syaoran.
"What'd you say?" he thundered.
"Nothing.ha ha." He started laughing again but his laughter soon died when he saw the look on the guy's face.
"Well, well, a tourist eh," he said noticing the town map in Syaoran's hands. "Then. You don't know whom ya messing with. Come with me if you're man enough."
"Why not I'll go."
'Thud' Syaoran felt something heavy land on his head. Before he had anytime to react, everything blacked out.
To be continued.
Cherry-blossom-sakura: Finally, done. How was that? You may be wondering how is this connected to the prologue. well, just read on and Review.
