Disclaimer: I do not own Card Captors or any of its characters (cries uncontrollably). Wouldn't that be wonderful if I did? (daydreams) but alas I do not.

A/N: This is my very first Card captors fan fic, I hope you like it. Please review I would really appreciate the criticism. Here goes. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



Sakura was out of breath. She was rushing to meet Madison at the King Penguin Park. She had overslept; she probably would have slept all day had Kero not woken her up by screaming in her ear. "SAKURAAA! Get up!! SSSAAAKKKUURRAA! You have to go meet Tomoyo!" She chuckled at the memory of the tiny beast flailing his arms with anger.

When she finally got to the park, she saw Tomoyo standing under a maple tree, with Syaoran?

"Hey Sakura, I though Syaoran could come to Lunch with us, if that's alright with you of course." Said Tomoyo.

"Oh! Y wouldn't it be alright.." Said Sakura trailing off into thought. "I have no problem other then, ever since he came back from Hong Kong he has been acting like he never had feelings for me. I'm not bitter, not one bit, but that doesn't mean we can't still be friends. Does it?" Tomoyo suddenly broke Sakura's train of thought and sent her crashing down to reality.

Waving a hang in front of her friends face " Sakura! Hello?!"

"Sorry Tomoyo," she felt a little uneasy " can we go now?"

Li walked behind the two chatting girls. He was busy with his own thought "She doesn't want me here. I guess she as really upset with how much I've changed. I had to change. I couldn't stay a stupid, jealous, blushing boy forever. I had to be strong, for Sakura, for the both of us. This is the only way I can protect her. Even if it means standing on the sidelines and watch her. I won't hurt her again!"

Sensing his uneasiness, Sakura turned around and her eyes locked with his. She saw a mixture of hate and sorrow in Syaoran's beautiful brown eyes, then it was gone. It was replaced with an emotionless stare. "To think, those eyes once kept me so drawn to him, they were so full of love. Now they seem empty, pained somehow. I wonder what he's thinking about. I wish he would open up to me again." Brushing the though aside, they all walked to a small Italian restaurant down the street. Sitting down at a small table they started to look at the menus.

"I hope this all works out. Someone had to give those two love birds a kick in the right direction." Tomoyo thought as she looked from Sakura to Syaoran. A small smiled played on her lips. Then she turned her attention back to her own menu. "Now, the pasta or the linguini?"

Syaoran looked around his menu at Sakura "She's so beautiful. No! I won't, I wont put her in danger!"

--Flashback- -Hong Kong-

"Silly little Wolf. Do you honestly think you can save her, protect her?! Everyday that u grow closer your weakness becomes larger. One day u will grow so weak that u will not be able to protect her, and when that day comes. I'll be watching. Waiting for my opportunity to crush your precious cherry blossom right in front of your eyes. Then you will know what it feels like be taken from you.

Just remember one thing, I'll be watching you little wolf, always watching. Waiting for my chance to strike. So back to her, your "number one." Spend all your days with her, because when you least expect, your lovely cherry blossom will be destroyed!" Shooting straight up in bed, Syaoran began to pant feverously, cold sweat clinging his entire body. Then one word escaped from his lips.

"Sakura."
