Disclaimer: This story is about Li Syaoran who falls in love with Sakura
Kinomoto. Sakura isn't aware of Li's feelings yet, until Li tells his
feelings for her later on. He just hopes that Sakura will accept his love
and return her feelings as well. I would say that this fanfiction is S&S
love story. but not that much in some parts. There's a lot of action in
here as well. Well.. You can decide that on your own.and also, the part
where Sakura uses the "Void Card" (from the second c.c.s movie) Li didn't
tell his feelings for her that time.anyway, enjoy reading!!!!!
"You.you are my first love. Sakura." he said to her quietly, which took the young girl's breath away.

First Love
The tall, chestnut-colored hair boy stood silently against the wall, staring at the beautiful sunset through the nearby window. The light breeze from the wind blew his hair away from his face. He was the descendant of the famous magician named Clow Reed who first created the Clow cards. His name is Li Syaoran which means Small wolf in Chinese.
He slowly closed his eyes, thinking about the last time he was in Japan capturing Clow cards with Sakura, and about the final judgement. A little frown appeared on his face but disappeared slowly when he thought about Sakura. A sudden curiosity filled him whenever he thought about the girl.
"How come she was always so nice to me when I didn't return her kindness?" he thought. The way she always forgave him, the way she always smiled gently at him whenever he was around. A slight blush reached his cheeks but he wasn't aware of it.
"Syaoran-kun!!! Someone yelled, and fell on top of him as she hugged him. "What are you doing in here? Everyone is looking for you! Why aren't you at the ceremony?" a girl screamed. She was a young girl with long black hair and red eyes who looked about the age of 14.
"Mei-lin? What do you mean?" the boy asked with a puzzled look. She just ignored him and quickly grabbed his arm jerking him towards a door. "I MEAN about the ceremony!!! Don't you remember? The girl asked as she pulled him outside the door. Syaoran thought for a minute then said
"Oh!!! The ceremony!!! I completely forgot! Sorry." he replied.
"What? You forgot about the ceremony?" Mei-lin said. "Well.. I." he stammered. The girl gave him a grin and said "anyway, just change into your Chinese outfit and come to the backyard ok?" and with that she was gone.
Syaoran quickly changed into his suit and went to the backyard. There were a lot of people. They were all part of the Li clan. They were celebrating the birthday of Clow Reed, Li's ancestor. Every 5 years, they had a huge ceremony to celebrate Clow Reed's birthday. Li walked towards to where the people were. There were fire crackers in the sky, with lots of decorations around. That day ended peacefully. The next day was for him and Mei-lin to go back to Japan. They had already stayed in Hong-Kong for 5 months. Syaoran and Mei-lin arrived at the airport with their bags ready.
"Well, I guess it's time for us to go back to Japan." Meilin said, looking at the tall boy. He just gave her a slight grin and gripped on his bag handle. They finally got in the plane and were ready to go back to Japan.
********************************* A young girl with auburn hair and deep emerald eyes walked slowly to school with her best friend Tomoyo. Her name was Sakura Kinomoto, which meant Cherry blossom in Japanese.
"Well, I guess Mei-lin and Syaoran-kun are coming back to Japan today!" Sakura said cheerfully with a little smile.
"Yes, I know, we'll be able to see them at the airport today! Tomoyo said, also smiling. They finally arrived at school and went into their classroom. After school, Tomoyo and Sakura walked home together.
"Wow!!! Aren't you exited to meet Mei-lin-chan and Syaoran-kun?" Sakura asked her purple-haired friend. Her friend gave her a sweet little smile as she said "yes, I am, we'll be able to meet them at the airport today."
Finally they split up and Sakura got to her house. "Hi, Kero, what's up? Sakura greeted to Kero happily as she went into her room. "Huh, your home already? " Kero said.
"Yeah, oh, and did you know that Syaoran-kun and Mei-lin are coming back today from Hong Kong? Sakura asked Kero. "Those Chinese brats?" Kero blurted out. "Kero!!!" Sakura yelled angrily.
"I told you not to say that about them, they are my friends!!!" she yelled. "Humph!" Kero snorted and began to play his video game. Sakura stared at him and then looked at the clock beside her.
"Hoe??? I'm so late!!! I promised that I would meet Tomoyo at the airport!!! I got to go, Bye Kero, I'll be back in a while ok? And don't even THINK about stealing my ice-cream in the fridge, or you'll be dead meat!!!" and with that Sakura was gone.
***********************
Li stared at the cold, misty clouds through the airplane window quietly. He wasn't thinking much, just enjoying the pretty sight that lay before him. Mei-lin was feeling a bit uncomfortable because of the strange silence and decided to break it.
"So.Syaoran. Sakura and Tomoyo are going to be at the airport once we arrive there, did you know?" Mei-lin asked. The sudden sound disturbed his quiet moment. Again, he flushed because Mei-lin had said "Sakura".
"Syaoran-kun?" Mei-lin asked, tapping him on his shoulders. "H.Huh?" Li asked. Mei-lin gave him a puzzled look. "Oh..um.sorry, yeah, I know that they are coming." Li stammered. Mei-lin gave him a queer look, and stared at the boy seriously.
"You know. you've been acting a bit weird for the past few days, is everything ok?" Mei-lin asked, in a worried way. "Yeah, I'm fine! Never better." Li instantly said.
Mei-lin gave him a frown and said "I don't think so." but Li just ignored that. "We will be arriving at the Japanese airport station in 10 minutes." The airport person said. Finally they arrived at the airport.
"We're here!!! Mei-lin screamed and hugged Li so tightly it almost suffocated him. So, they both got their bags and began to search for Sakura and Tomoyo. Finally they caught notice of them, and headed towards them.
"Syaoran!!! Mei-lin!!! Over here your guys!!!" Sakura yelled from far away. She was waving at them so they could see. Mei-lin rushed towards Sakura, while Li walked slowly. From far away Li could see the three girls hugging each other tightly. When he finally got close enough to say hi, Sakura caught notice of him and gave him a sweet smile. Li stared at her face, and quickly looked away and turned red.
"Huh? " Sakura said and went to ask Li what was wrong. "Um..Syaoran-kun, are you ok?" Sakura asked quietly looking directly at Li. This took his breath away. "Syaoran-kun??" Li thought, she haven't called him that in a long time. Li just caught a glimpse of her and blushed again and said "I..I'm fine." Li muttered.
"You guys, guess what???" Mei-lin yelled. Everyone looked at her, expecting her to say something. "At the ceremony, they even celebrated me and Li's marriage for later on!!!" Mei-lin yelled happily with goggle eyes at Li, blushing dreamily.
"That's so cool!!!" I'm happy for you Mei-lin, and for you too Li!!!" Sakura said, smiling at Mei-lin and Li. Mei-lin just kept staring at Li with goggle eyes, while Li, just stood there looking down, not too happy about what Mei-lin just said. That's when Tomoyo looked at Li sadly and figured out what was going on. She figured out that Li didn't want to marry Mei-lin because he didn't love her. just as a friend and as a cousin but she didn't know who Li really loved.although she had the slightest idea.
Ok, well let's go then!!! Mei-lin said grabbing onto Li's arm even though he didn't like it. Sakura was walking beside Tomoyo blushing slightly whenever she thought about Yukito-san. Every few seconds Li would glance over at Sakura, blushing, ignoring everything that Mei-lin was saying to him. Tomoyo then caught notice of Li looking at Sakura so he jerked his head away with a furious blushing face.
"Hmmm.." Tomoyo thought. "Oh, look! Let's take a group picture!" Mei-lin yelled as she rushed into the photo shop with Li. "That's a great idea!" Sakura yelled. So they all rushed into the photo room. They took 4 pictures all together. The first picture had Mei-lin holding onto Li's shoulders with Sakura and Tomoyo below them smiling.
The second picture was also Mei-lin holding onto Li's shoulders but the camera frame was more closely this time. There were Tomoyo and Sakura below them again, except Sakura was blushing because of Yukito. Syaoran was glancing at Sakura with a soft blushing face. The last picture had Sakura and Syaoran side by side with Mei-lin and Tomoyo below them. Sakura has a surprised look on her face looking at Li, while Li had a blushing face, face down. The rest are smiling.
Finally, they finished taking pictures and were ready to go home. Suddenly, the sky went dark and rain started to pour on them. "Oh no!!!" I don't have an umbrella!" Mei-lin yelled. "It's not that big a deal, Mei-lin, it's just rain." Li replied.
"Oh. what are we going to do, we can't get wet." Sakura said sadly. "Yeah. and I didn't bring my cell-phone here, so I can't call my limousine." Tomoyo added.
"Well our apartment is closest from here, so maybe we can go there!" Mei- lin said happily. So they all ran to the apartment, not caring to talk and went to Li and Mei-lin's place. "Wei isn't going to come until tomorrow, so we have the whole place to ourselves." Mei-lin said.
"Oh!!! I have to call my house to tell my dad that I'm at your place!" Sakura suddenly said. "Oh! Me too" Tomoyo said. First it was Sakura. "Bring.Bring.hello? This is the Kinomoto resident." Her brother replied.
"Oh Touya-chan! It's Sakura, I just called to let you know that I'm over at Li and Mei-lin's place, I'll be home in a little while, ok?" Sakura said. "WHAT!!!! YOUR AT THE BRAT'S PLACE??????!!!" Touya screamed so loudly, Sakura had to pull the phone away from her ears.
"Oh!!! Just tell dad!!!!!!" Sakura screamed and hung up the phone quickly with a very angry face. Just then, she saw Li, Mei-lin and Tomoyo staring at her. "Hoe? Gomen, it's just that my stupid brother always gets angry when I mention Li, I'm really sorry. he's just too overprotective of me.." Sakura said.
After Tomoyo called they decided to sit down and talk. "So, what did you guys do in Hong Kong? Was it fun? Sakura asked. "Yeah, of course! They celebrated out marriage!!!" Mei-lin screamed, again with the goggle eyes at Li. Li just looked away with an angry and an embarrassed face, but Sakura smiled at them sweetly.
"You.you are my first love. Sakura." he said to her quietly, which took the young girl's breath away.
