Forgotten
Chapter 1


Everyone is gathered at Syaoran's apartment for Sakura's 15th birthday.

"Hurry up! Get behind that couch Tomoyo-chan...She'll be here any second now," whispered Syaoran as he tried to beckon Tomoyo behind the couch.

"But can't I just stand to the side of the door so I can capture her expressions on video tape?" asked Tomoyo as she waved her camcord in the handsome boy's face.

" -_- okay okay, fine. Now everyone keep quiet. As soon as I throw open the light, you all jump out and scream "Happy Birthday Sakura-chan". Did you all get that?"

"Hai," everyone said in a bored tone. They had rehearsed this for about 30 minutes now.

~Everything has to be perfect for my sweet cherry blossom~ thought Syaoran as he smoothed down his green t-shirt.

*Ding Dong*

"OMG she's here! She's here she's here she's here," he whispered, dancing around nervously, wringing his hands all the while.

Something hit him on the head and fell to the floor.

"Baka! Open the door," Yamazaki whispered. "And throw my shoe back here."

*Ding Dong*

"Oh right..." Syaoran cleared his throat and threw the door open, flicking the light on at the same time.

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY SAKURA-CHAN!" Everyone yelled, popping out from behind the sofa.

Sakura's eyes grew wide and she broke out into a grin, pulling Syaoran into a hug.

"Arigatou," she whispered into this ear. He kissed her on the cheek and smiled at her.


#After the party#

"Arigatou Sakura-chan...for helping me finish cleaning up," said Syaoran as he continued sweeping the floor.

"Oh it's the least I could do..."

~Plus I wanted to spend some extra time with you anyways...alone...Maybe today I can finally tell you...~ Thought Sakura.

*Riiinngg...Rrrrrrriiinggg*

Syaoran leaned the broom up against the wall and answered the phone.

"Moshi moshi.....Nani?!......Why?.....Oh I see.....hai...okay then...in 3 days?! ...alright...I'll be there." He hung up the phone and walked towards Sakura. The green-eyed girl looked up at him and smiled.

"What's up? Is anything wrong?" she asked.

"Oh no...nothing...don't worry about it," said Syaoran as he sat down on the couch, next to Sakura.

~I can't tell her right now...It's her birthday for crying out loud...I don't wanna ruin it for her~


#The Next Day#

~I wonder why he asked me to meet him here...and when it's almost dark~ thought Sakura as she walked into the park and sat down at the swings. A few minutes later Sayoaran arrived and sat down on the swing next to her.

"Sakura-chan...you know how I got a call yesterday..."

Sakura nodded. Her stomach was starting to hurt. From the tone of his voice, she knew this wasn't gonna be good news.

It started to rain.

"Well that was the general...He was calling from China...he said that, as the prince of China, I am to return there and train. He didn't tell me what for...all he said was I had to train...I'm leaving in two days..."

Sakura jumped of the swing and turned around to face Syaoran.

"What?! You have to leave?" She said, ignoring the 'prince' part, tears forming in her eyes.

Syaoran nodded.

"No.....you can't leave...you promised me you'd never leave me! Remember?! That day my dad died, you promised you'd always be by my side and that I'd never have to be alone."

It started to rain harder.

"I...I'm sorry...I have no choice Sakura-chan..."

Sakura started crying and turned around, running off. Syaoran got off the swing and raced after her. "Sakura! Matte!"

The auburn-haired girl tripped and fell onto the ground, still crying.

~He promised me...HE PROMISED!~ she thought as she attempted to get up.

Seeing that she had tripped, Syaoran quickly ran up to her and fell down onto the grass next to her, pulling her into a tight hug, kissing her on the forehead.

"It's alright Sakura-chan...I'll come back for you...I will train for one year and come back for you...Trust me my sweet cherry blossom...I love you!" He exclaimed, pulling away from her and handing her a hanky.

Sakura suddenly stops crying, her eyes grew wide. "What did you just say?" she asked, hardly daring to breath.

Syaoran looked down at her and kissed her on the lips. "I love you Sakura-chan...I really do."

Sakura smiled, taking the hankerchief from him and hugging him. "I love you too Syaoran-kun...So much...I love you so very much," she whispered into his ear. "I don't want you to leave...please...I don't want to be alone..." She started to cry again.

Syaoran hugged her tighter.

"I'm really going to miss you Syaoran-kun, my love."

"I'm going to miss you too..."

Then Sakura remembered something. She pulled away from Syaoran and smiled up at him. "By the way *sniff*...did you say you were the prince of China?"

Syaoran grinned. "Ya...but don't tell anyone okay?"

"I won't," she whispered. "But why didn't you tell me earlier...?"

"I...I don't know..." He answered, brushing the hair out of Sakura's face.

"Well can I at least tell Tomoyo-chan that you're a prince?" She asked, pouting innocently.

Syaoran smiled. "Sure...I don't mind...You guys tell each other everything...I don't want to be the one to get in the way of that." He said getting up. He held a hand out and pulled Sakura up too. Both just realised that it was raining.

"Oh shit! Sakura why didn't you tell me it was raining?" Asked Syaoran as he took his jacket off and put it on Sakura, guiding her to where the huge penguin statue thing was. "You could get pneumonia! Here lemme call Wei and see if he can pick us up and drop you home," He said, gently pushing her into the little area underneath the penguin. He went in after her and pulled out his cell phone.

~He looks great when he's wet~ Sakura blushed at the thought. She looked him up and down. His shirt was sticking to his chest and arms, showing off his great build. His hair was also wet, and fell around his face/eyes.

"Er...Sakura-chan...what are you doing?!"

Sakura snapped out of her somewhat-trance, her blush deepening as she found herself grinning, still staring at Syaoran. She shook her head, "nothing...nothing nothing...so what did Wei say?"

Syaoran grinned. "Sure it was nothing," He said looking her up and down, his grin widening.

Sakura blushed even more...

"Anywho...Wei will be here in about 5 mins to pick us. So I suggest you get comfy...cause for Wei, 5 mins is actually 10 mins," He said making his way towards Sakura. He sat down next to her, leaning up against the inside wall of the enormous penguin, putting his arm around her. Sakura let her head rest against his shoulder.

"Sakura...I was wondering..."

"Hhhmmm?"

"Do you think you can meet me at my apartment tomorrow evening...I never gave you your birthday gift..."

"Sure Syaoran," she said yawning.


#Ten Minutes Later#

*Beeeep*

"Well...that's Wei...come on Sakura, let's go. Sakura?"

~She fell asleep...I guess I'll have to carry her...~ He thought as he slipped his hands underneath her legs, hoisting her up and carrying her out to the limo, bride style.
