Disclaimer: I don't them...Really. And the song 'Goodbye to You' belongs to Michelle Branch.
This chapter has a little flash back.....mostly at Sakura's part. *Nods*. Hope it's not too confusing..........
Enough of my crap then, let the story begin..........

He managed to catch up with her. Stuttering, he called her name.
She stopped, hearing her name, turned around and looked at him, her face wearing a surprised expression.
Not recognizing him, she just said mildly.
" I'm sorry, but who are you?"
It is from here that he knew that Kinomoto Sakura had forgotten who he is.

Chapter 2: Goodbye to You.

*Japan *
Syaoran stood rooted to the ground in front of Sakura.
His mind was totally empty, except for the thought that Sakura didn't know who he is.
Sakura looked at his shocked expression and asked, concerned, " Are you all right? You don't look well."
Was he all right? He asked himself.
" Of course I'm all right....." He muttered, casting his head down, depressed.
Sakura cocked her head at him and was about to say something, when he ran away.
Sakura stared after him, amused and confused at the same time. Then, shrugging her shoulders, she walked off home thinking to herself that he is none of her business.
She had no idea how wrong she is.
--
The door clicked opened and Fanren greeted her little otouto-chan with a chopping knife still in her hand, only to stop when she saw the downcast look he had.
Fanren peeped at Syaoran and then went briskly into the kitchen to finish chopping her vegetables.
After Syaoran went into his room and locked the door, his three other sisters came out of their own room and join up with Fanren, who fill them in on what she had witness.
" Otouto-chan looking dejected?! That is a VERY rare occasion!!! Sheifa cried and then turned to Feimei, " I think you should take in the clothes, Feimei. It's gonna rain soon!"
Everyone giggled except for Fuutie. She looked solemnly around and then said, " When otouto-chan is dejected, it means that something bad had happened to him. We must find that out....as it might have something to do with Sakura-chan!"
The four sisters of Li Syaoran nodded and agreed that they will discuss it over during dinner.
--
" OTOUTO-CHAN!!!!!!!!!! DINNER IS READY!!!!!!"
The door opened, Syaoran came out of the room still looking dejected and then flopped down onto the chair.
His four sisters peered at him, rather shocked by his expression, but they went on preparing for dinner.
Finally, the five siblings were seated around the small table that seems to be groaning under the multiple Chinese dishes Fanren had cooked.
Fuutie smiled happily around and then picked up her chopsticks.
" Let's Eat!!" She said cheerfully and began eating.
For about a few minutes, the five siblings of the Li family were quiet. The sisters noticed that their otouto-chan was not eating, but actually picking a grain of rice, then letting it drop, then picking it up again. They cast sidelong looks at each other, and then shivered slightly. Otouto-chan was definitely acting weird. Then, Fuutie decided to break the ice.
" Otouto-chan, what's wrong with you?"
Syaoran stopped picking at the grain of rice and looked up at the puzzled looks of his sisters. He stared at each of them for a minute, and then sighed.
His four sisters jumped out of their chairs.
Sheifa squatted beside him and shook him hard, " Otouto-chan, what is wrong? Has something bad happened? Is it about Sakura-chan?"
At this sentence, Syaoran winced and lowered his head. Feimei looked reproachfully at Sheifa and then kneeled down beside their otouto-chan.
Then, out of the sudden, Syaoran gave a little sniff.
Fuutie, Feimei, Fanren and Sheifa looked horrified.
Fuutie raised her hand to Syaoran's chin and lifted his head up. He was not crying, but tears were visible around his eyes. He looked sadly at Feimei then croaked, " Oneesan....S-Sakura....s-she doesn't remember me at all...."
His voice broke, but his sisters stared at him somewhat angrily.
Feimei stood up and the four of them glared at him.
Sheifa was outraged. " After you dumped Sakura-chan, you had the FACE to cry just because she forget who you ARE??!!!!! GET A LIFE, MAN!!!" Sheifa screamed, storming back to her room and slamming the door hard. Syaoran winced.
" You deserved it, my DEAR little otouto-chan." Fanren said coldly and stride to her room and slammed her door hard too. Syaoran winced.
" You know what, otouto-chan, you are not as great and BRAVE as I think you are. You are just a DOWNRIGHT JERK!!!" Feimei yelled right into his ear and walked briskly away.
Syaoran felt terrible right now. Sakura had forgotten who he is, his sisters were mad at him and he was called a jerk. He slides further into his chair and groaned.
Then he felt a hand on his shoulder. It was Fuutie.
Fuutie smiled at him, pulled a chair over and sat opposite to him. He stared at her expressionless and muttered, " Go on and preach......I'm all ears."
Fuutie laughed a little and then said, " I'm not going to lecture you today, my otouto-chan, not today...maybe tomorrow....but I'm just going to ask you a few question."
The forlorn little wolf looked up at Fuutie.
" How do you feel right now?"
Syaoran looked down, pulled his legs up onto the chair and hugging them.
" ....I don't really know..I just feel terrible.....what with Sakura not knowing who the heck I am....and Feimei and the others yelling at me.....I feel like I had just tumbled down a set of stairs of a thousand steps, face first."
Fuutie was silence for a while, then she began again, " Then.....do you think that you should be sad because Sakura-chan had forgot you?"
Syaoran thought of this question. " No. I know I deserved this.....I know that it was my fault in the first place.....I shouldn't have break up with Sakura..."
Fuutie then smiled, " You are still the little otouto-chan that knows how to apologize when he is wrong. But I guess you'll have to start all over again with Sakura-chan. But that's all right! I'll like to see my otouto- chan courting a girl." Then she hugged him and muttered, " I'll lend you my shoulder for today. Be sure to return this favour, all right?"
Syaoran nodded and buried his head into his sister's shoulder.

* Two years ago. *
" Syaoran-kun......"
Sakura stared at the ceiling. The radio was switched on and playing songs.
Syaoran had left a year ago, but she still loves him.
Kero-chan looked at Sakura sadly. He hated to see his mistress in this state.
[[I have to do something about it......]] Kero thought slowly. Then he looked at the deck of Sakura Cards, and came up with an idea.
He glowed. Sakura took no notice of him. A single Sakura card flew out from the deck and appeared in its true form as a woman in a clown clothes and a cloth.
" Erase...." Kero muttered. He stared at Sakura and then thought.
[[The rest will be up to you, Sakura.]]
Kero glowed as bright as he could to get Sakura's attention. She sat up from her bed slowly and stared at Kero-chan.
Kero stared at her solemnly.
" Sakura. We want to end this misery. We decided to use the Erase Card on you. Do you want it to erase your memories of Li Syaoran?"
Sakura stared at Kero, and then at the Erase Card, who looked at her sadly. She then stared ahead of her, thinking deeply.
Then, she heard the chorus of a song from the radio.
Goodbye to you,
Goodbye to everything that I knew.
You are the one I loved,
The one thing that I had tried to hold on to.
Sakura closed her eyes and nodded. She felt the cloth of the Erase Card wrapped all over her and had a last thought.
Goodbye to you, Syaoran-kun.
Goodbye.
--
A pair of emerald eyes snapped open.
Sakura sat up on her bed.
She looked around. Kero was still sleeping. There was silence in the room.
Yume.
Sakura frowned. The dream seemed so...real.
[[Hoe?]] Sakura blinked. [[I can't seems to remember the dream anymore.....]]
Yet she didn't notice a small glow from one of her cards.
The Erase Card.
--
" Ohayo, Tomoyo-chan." Sakura greeted.
Tomoyo smiled, " Ohayo, Sakura-chan."
The door slide open.
Syaoran stepped into the class, looking very down.
Tomoyo noticed this and asked, concerned, " Ne, Li-kun. Are you all right?"
Syaoran winced.
Am I all right? He asked himself.
Syaoran nodded slowly and proceed to his seat. He lay on the table with his arms over his head and groaned a little.
Tomoyo arched an eyebrow. Just then, Eriol came in and greeted everyone.
" Ohayo, Tomoyo-chan." He greeted, smiling as happy as ever. Tomoyo cocked an eyebrow at him and said, " Are you planning anything, Eriol-kun?"
Eriol just smiled. Tomoyo sighed and then continue in a lower voice, " Something is wrong with Li-kun and maybe, Sakura-chan."
Eriol's smile vanished and was replaced by a solemn look.
" You realized it already, huh. Well, I detected it yesterday actually. You know, if Sakura still have feelings for Syaoran, she would have AT LEAST gasp when he was introduce to the class. But she didn't have any reaction! Not even blinking a eye."
Tomoyo nodded and muttered, " You thinking what I'm thinking?"
Eriol grinned a little and continue, " Yes, I'm thinking what you are thinking."
Tomoyo then said, " Sakura-chan doesn't remember who Li-kun is anymore."
--
" Tis is serious, Tomoyo Darling."
"I know, Eriol Dear."
" So, what are we to do, Tomoyo Darling?"
" Get them together again, Eriol Dear."
" By what ways, Tomoyo Darling?"
" By, of course, that Romeo and Juliet play, Eriol Dear."
" I see. But what if it doesn't work, Tomoyo Darling."
" We'll just have to come up with plan B then."
" You lost the game, Tomoyo Darling."
" What game?"
" You are suppose to say 'Eriol Dear' in every sentence you spoke to me, Tomoyo Darling."
" I see, Eriol Dear. Then let's start this game again, Eriol Dear."
" All right, Tomoyo Darling. As we were saying, Tomoyo Darling, plan A is the Romeo and Juliet play, Tomoyo Darling. But I still feel that what we should do is actually bring back Sakura Honey's memories of Syaoran Sweetheart."
Pause.
" Do I have to call Sakura Honey Sakura-chan and Li-kun Sakura Honey and Syaoran Sweetheart , Eriol Dear?"
" Of course you have to, Tomoyo Darling."
Sigh.
" All right then, Eriol Dear. I DO feel that this play might pull Sakura Honey and Syaoran Sweetheart much closer, Eriol Dear. You could also get them trap in a few of your not-so-good- yet intelligent tricks, Eriol Dear."
" Such as what, Tomoyo Darling?"
Exasperated sigh.
" Such as that elevator trick that you did when we were in elementary 6, Eriol Dear. Or the hole-in-the-Penguin-Park trick, Eriol Dear."
" Ah, yes, Tomoyo Darling. Now that you have reminded me, I'll have to come up with some better ones, Tomoyo Darling. Syaoran Sweetheart will be suspicious, Tomoyo Darling."
Sigh again.
" What about plan B, Tomoyo Darling?"
Mysterious smile.
" .....You'll know it when plan A fail, Eriol Dear."
Arched eyebrow.
" Hmm....I'll make sure I'll know it, Tomoyo Darling. Even if it means that I'll have to make plan A fail, Tomoyo Darling."
Frown.
" You wouldn't dare, Eriol Dear. This matters two people's happiness, Eriol Dear. And we are not suppose to play with their life, Eriol Dear."
Wide smile.
" All right, all right, Tomoyo Darling. I won't do it, unless I had run out of ideas of getting plan B out of yeh', Tomoyo Darling."
" Bring it on."
" You lost again, Tomoyo Darling."
" Then let's start the game again, Eriol Dear."
--
" All right, cool down people, I got the results of the vote for the characters."
My stomach gave a huge lurch.
Damn.
That toad of a boy, Eriol, was smiling like an idiot. He was holding piece of paper that contains the results.
" Let me announce the actors and the actresses for the main characters. Romeo Monticule, Li Syaoran."
Everyone cheered and clapped. I groaned.
" Juliet Capulet, Kinomoto Sakura."
Cat whistles and more cheers. Sakura blushed and I groaned even more, while glaring at Eriol.
This might be the most longest and terrible day of my ever so terrible life.
I think I have a new motto.
Life sucks big time.
