*-* Thoughts
"talking" Dialogue

BEEP, BEEP, BEEP! The same routine every morning. A beautiful girl with light brown hair and deep emerald eyes drags herself up. She looks herself in the mirror; she hasn't been the same as Syaoron left her. Her appearance dramatically changed. She had bags under her eyes, and triple piercings on her ear lobes, and a cartilage piercing. A little ruby pendant in a shape of a heart hung around her neck. It was her last object of innocence since she was 12.

* What has happened to me during these years..? Syaoron left, but I
shouldn't be like this should I? It has been so many years, why, why,
why? *

She looked at the bear that Syaoron left in her arms as he left for the plane, opened her closet, pulled out a big black sweatshirt. Her closet was full of tons of black things, made her seemed so depressed. Now that she was dressed, she was ready to begin her day. She was never really there though, her heart was somewhere else.

* * * ~Meanwhile, in Hong Kong. * * *

A familiar brown hair, amber eyes fellow is already up, practicing his skills once again.

*It has been so many years; I wonder how she is now. Does she still have that cheery smile? Does she still think of me? I wish I could go back *

He looked over at the picture Tomoyo sent of her. Taken of course, when she was still camera crazy. He had specifically asked for one in their last letter. Wow their last letter. that has had to been a good 5 years ago.

FIVE YEARS EVERYTHING HAS CHANGED

* * ~Back in Japan * *

"Sakura!!" Tomoyo waved flapping her hands everywhere, she just couldn't get her attention anymore. "Sakura Kimoto ARE YOU THERE?!"

"Huh," Sakura replied dumbly. "Yes I am here, what, what, what?!?!"

"Don't get pissy now," Tomoyo replied. "Thinking about Syaoron aren't you?"

"Well, what should I think about, your boyfriend goes to the same school, my love isn't even in the country! And speaking of Tomoyo's boyfriend, HERE HE COMES NOW!" * And here I watch myself disappear right in front of her. *

Just as Sakura had said, Eriol had come walking right up and kissed Tomoyo at first innocently. Tomoyo and Eriol then turned it into a long, passionate kiss. Sakura could see their tongues move as they teased one another. She could feel herself vomit witnessing this. She had to get out, had to get away from this sickening sight. Sakura left them, still all over one another.

* I can't stand this anymore! How many guys will I turn down for Syaoron Li?! I don't even see him, he doesn't call or write anymore. Does he even think of me? Five years, five fucken years! Look how I am now... There is no hope! Crap I wish I was dead. I cannot see Tomoyo kissing Eriol without my skin crawling. This is enough! *

She turned and ran home. When she finally got home, she closed the door, shutting it tight. That night, like every other night, her father or brother wasn't home. She felt so hoplessly alone, and nothing would change. Tomoyo found a life with Eriol, and all her other friends left her soon after Syaoron left. She had no one. Sakura's tears ran down her cheek, and she fell asleep.

* * ~In Japan * *

Syaoron lies awake in his bed. He can't stand it anymore! He feels Sakura in pain, but he cannot do anything about it. He feels it every night.

* She is in trouble, she might need me. But how will I explain this to mother, I bet she moved me just to get me away from Sakura. Well, now its time to prove to her I'm old enough to handle myself. Im 17 for heavens sake. Well that's it! *

Syaoron opened his suitcase, and stole money from his mother's hiding place. He would be on a flight tonight, whether his mother liked it or not. He was sure to leave her a note, and he was off. Nothing could stop him from helping Sakura; he wouldn't feel right until he could hold her in his arms, and make him feel better himself. He didn't feel right leaving his mother with a note, but he knew what had to be done. At around 2:00 A.M. He was on a flight back to Japan, back to Sakura.

The next morning, Yelan awoke to birds chirping. Not to Syaoron's sound of swords clanking and clashing in the morning. She looked in her room, only to find an empty bed with a note at the pillow. It read;

Dear Mother,
I love you dearly, but there are some things that need to be done. As you know, I had met Sakura when I visited Japan for a couple of years. I don't know what is going on, but I don't feel right until I find out for myself. I apologize for stealing your money to get out, but I needed it. You will be paid back. Feel free to send Wei if you wish. Mother, understand you cannot drag me back.

From Your Son,
Syaoron

Yelan sat on her son's bed, looking around the room. How had he grown so quickly?

* * * ~Back to Sakura (A/N: Sorry if this is getting confusing) * * *

BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!

* A start of a beautiful day! Yea right!! Haha. *

Sakura laughed at herself even thinking it would be a beautiful day. Once again, the house was empty. She kept to herself why no one was ever home though. She wanted her life to be personal, personal means to herself. That morning, Sakura didn't even bother changing; she just tied up her hair, washed her face, and put on a little dark makeup. It wouldn't matter if she had changed or not, all her clothes look the same anyways. She was almost out the door, when she remembered she forgot her necklace. She had to run back and get it. Luckily if she hadn't she would have never heard the doorbell ring.

"Who could be coming now?!" she questioned as she grabbed the bat just incase, even door to door salesmen weren't welcome in her eyes. She slowly opened the door, only to find a brown hair boy with amber eyes staring at her.
