Dreams come True // By Kasumi Chapter 1: I'll be

"But Syaoran-kun! Why do you have to leave?" A girl with brilliant emerald green eyes cried, reaching out to a boy carrying a small bag.

"I... I... I'm sorry Sakura... goodbye..." he whispered, turning away from the young girls tear stained face.

"Syaoran-kun! I'll never see you again!"

He turned back towards Sakura and handed a small blue teddy bear to her.

"Don't worry Sakura-chan," Syaoran started wiping the tears silently flowing down her pail face. "We'll see eachother again, I promise..."

Syaoran turned towards Wei his butler, smiled sadly and headed to the airport gate, only thinking of the young girl he was leaving behind.

"I'm so sorry Sakura."

"Syaoran-kun!" Sakura cried one last time before he disappeared though the door. She ran towards the big viewing window to see Syaoran walking towards the plane. Sakura fell to her knees and started waving sadly at the disappearing figure. "Syaoran-kun."

"HOEEEEEEEEEEEE!"

Kinomoto Sakura cried running around her bedroom, trying to pull on her Tomoeda Elementary uniform, while brushing her hair. She finished quickly and grabbed her school bag, running out the door.

"Ja ne Kero-chan!"

"Hmm?" Kero-chan muttered, raising his head out of Sakura's dresser drawer, just catching a glimpse of Sakura running out of the door. "Oh, ja ne Sakura-chan! See ya after school!"

Sakura ran down the stairs, almost tripping as she reached the bottom. She ran into the dining room where her Otou-san and Onii-chan were starting to eat breakfast.

"Ohayo Tou-san, Onii-chan!" Sakura greeted, walking to her place at the breakfast table.

"Ohayo gozaimasu Sakura-san!"

"Ohayo... Kaijuu. You really need to stop running up there, it sounds like an elephant running around." Touya, her brother greeted back, watching his Imouto getting mad.

"O-HA-YO-U Onii-chan! And I'm not a monster!" Sakura cried, stomping on his foot hard, sending Touya muttering various curses as he rubbed where Sakura had stomped on him.

"For not being a Kaijuu, you sure are violent..." Touya muttered again, causing Sakura to giggle and kiss her father on the cheek.

"Ohayo Tou-san!"

Fujitaka just smiled and held up a brown paper bag. "You won't want to forget this..."

Sakura beamed as she took the bag from him, catching a glimpse at her pink watch. "HOEEEEEEEE~! I'm going to be really late now! Ja ne Tou-san!"

Sakura ran out the door, put on her rollerblades and then started down the street, not even noticing that her brother wasn't following her.

"Hmm... its amazing she didn't figure it out..." Touya smirked, his father turning towards him.

"That was very mean of you Touya-kun..." Fujitaka commented, sitting down himself at the table.

"What do you mean?" Touya tried to act innocent but failed. "Its not every day you see a Kaijuu an hour early."

* * * * *

Sakura ran though the hallways of Tomoeda elementary, noticing that there were only a couple of people inside the school.

'Hoe! I must be really late, theres barely anyone in the hallways!'

Sakura raced to her classroom and swung open the door not even paying attention as she greeted...

"Ohayo mi-." Sakura started but then fell down anime style as she only saw her best friend Tomoyo sitting in the classroom, looking puzzled at Sakura. "Ohayo Tomoyo-chan..."

"Ohayo Sakura-chan!" Tomoyo greeted and helped Sakura stand up. "You're here so early..."

Sakura sighed and slumped toward her seat, putting down her hat before she sat down heavily in the seat. "Onii-chan must have set my clocks ahead again..."

Tomoyo giggled and leaned on Sakura's desk, watching as Sakura took off her watch and turned it back to the appropriate time. "O genki desu ka?"

"Genki desu!" Sakura grinned as she flipped her watch back on her wrist and stretched. "Demo, I AM tired..."

Tomoyo smiled as the sensei walked into the class. She looked in Tomoyo's direction and smiled, but did a doubletake as she noticed the girl next to her.

"Kinomoto-san! You're here early..."

"Gomen nasai Misata-sensei, demo... onegai don't ask!" Sakura sweatdropped as she watched her sensei stare in disbelief.

"Misata-sensei?" Tomoyo questioned, waving a hand in front of the sensei's face. "Konnichiwa..."

"Oh, gomen nasai Daidouji-san... I still just can't believe it..."

Sakura fell down anime style once again.

* * * * *

Sakura sat down underneath her favourite Sakura tree waiting for Tomoyo to come from the music room where she was called down by her choir sensei.

"Tomoyo-chan wa doko desu ka?" Sakura muttered, leaning against the tall tree, closing her eyes and let her mind wander. She thought of a certain brown haired boy with amber eyes. She blushed and quickly shook her head, getting rid of the picture. "Why am I still getting flashbacks?"

Sakura pondered about the fact that her 'Number 1' was still her number 1. For all she knew, he could not even be thinking of her as he's in Hong Kong. After all he does have Clan business to take care of...

"Sakura-chan?" Tomoyo questioned, braking Sakura out of her thoughts. "Arigatou for waiting for me. Yutoku-sensei wanted to talk to me about the Christmas trip coming up."

"Do itashmashite Tomoyo-chan..." Sakura said, moving over slightly to give Tomoyo some more room to sit down.

"What were you thinking of Sakura-chan?" Tomoyo asked, noticing as a tear started to form up in her eye. Sakura quickly wiped it away, and smiled at her best friend.

"It's nothing Tomoyo-chan... don't worry about it." Sakura said looking away at the light fluffy clouds. More tears were starting to form in her emerald eyes, but she quickly tried to hide it by smiling once again.

"Sakura-chan... its ok to cry you know..." Tomoyo told Sakura gently, pulling her into a hug so she would have a shoulder to cry on. "You don't always have to hide it under a smile..."

Tears were now coursing down Sakura's face as she sobbed into Tomoyo's shoulder, crying for everything that she had been keeping in for so long. "Oh Tomoyo-chan... I miss him so much..."

Tomoyo smiled and patted Sakura's back as tears were soaking into her shirt. She started to sing a song quietly.

" I'll be your shoulder when you need someone to lean on.

Be your shelter.

When you need someone to see you through.

I'll be there to carry you.

I'll be there.

I'll be the rock that will be strong for you.

The one that will hold on to you.

When you feel that rain falling down.

When there's nobody else around.

I'll be."

Sakura smiled in Tomoyo's shoulder as the tears started to reside. Sakura stayed in that position for a while longer thinking of what Tomoyo had just said. 'Y'know what... Tomoyo-chan's right. I don't always need to hide my emotions underneath a smile. And I now know that Tomoyo WILL always be here. I should have noticed that a long time ago... but I was so wrapped up in my own little world, that I forgot how thankful I am to have Tomoyo as a best friend.'

Tomoyo looked down at Sakura, wondering what Sakura was thinking about. "Sakura-chan?"

Sakura looked up and sat up, sniffing as she wiped the last bits of tears off of her eyes. "Arigatou Tomo-chan!"

Tomoyo look surprised as noticed the childhood nickname. "Your welcome Sakura-chan..."

Sakura smiled a genuine smile as she pulled Tomoyo to her feet. "And now I'm not hiding my emotions! Your coming over to my house for a sleepover!"

Tomoyo broke out in a grin, and followed Sakura who was currently running though the school grounds, towards the main gate. 'He'll come back Sakura- chan... I promise you...'

"Xiao Lang" Li Yelan called her son from his bedroom where he has been laying in there for the morning.

"Yes mother?" Xiao Lang replied pulling open his door to his room.

"The Elders want to see you" She replied turning her heel back towards the room where the Elders were seated.

"Okay" Xiao Lang closed the door and turned towards his dresser where one picture was sitting in a frame entwined with Sakura Blossoms. Sakura and himself sitting in front of a sunset, smiling into the camera. He had his chin resting on her head, and she was cuddling in the cold air. Picture taken courtesy of Tomoyo.

"Sakura... I promise"

Xiao Lang sighed and went out the door to go see the Li Elders.

* * * * * Author Notes: Well, I have decided to re-write Dreams come True ^^; I wasn't very happy with what the story was to begin with; so you might want to re read it :] I hope you enjoy this new chapter 1~

The song that Tomoyo had sung to Sakura was called "I'll be" by Reba McEntire. I thought that it would be the most PERFECT song that fits Tomoyo and Sakura's friendship~

Chapter 2 coming soon!
