ONTO THE STORY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Syaoran's POV:

Syaoran knew that he would hurt Sakura when he returned back to Japan with Gensoki. But she wouldn't understand. When he was in China, he was so lonely without Sakura.and then he met Gensoki. He never knew that somebody could have been more beautiful than Sakura, but Gensoki obviously proved his theory wrong. She was his new angel.his new source of happiness.

But when he stepped into that classroom, and saw Sakura smiling her normal smile at him.confusion blinded him. He had expected her to be sad and to not even look at him. But then again once the bell had rung for lunch, she disappeared.not even Tomoyo could find her. As he kissed Gensoki, he didn't even feel any hint of Sakura's depressed pink aura. Even though she was only a few feet away from him.

"I love you, Gensoki." Syaoran mumbled between kisses.

"I love you too, Syao-kun," Gensoki happily replied back.

Normal POV:

Those few words shattered what was left of Sakura's heart. She bit her lip to stop herself from crying, but she could taste the steady flow of her salty tears on her tongue. She didn't know why she was crying.hadn't she given him up? Hadn't she agreed to only watch Syaoran now? But she decided to take it to the next step.

[There's no such thing as love. Promises are meant to be broken.] Sakura thought to herself. That's when her heart closed for the first time. But to love only.they were still open to friends and family. Finally the bell rang throughout the school grounds, sending relief through Sakura's body. Syaoran and Gensoki would have to leave, and she could sneak into the girl's bathroom and wash her face and eyes out.

When the couple had finally left, Sakura dashed towards the bathroom and scrubbed her face until she looked normal again. Entering her classroom, she forced herself to look into Syaoran's intense amber eyes and smile brightly. Then she forced herself to look into Gensoki's eyes.but was met with a smug look from her. A confused expression crossed Sakura's face, but she ignored it.

Sakura sat back at her desk, but concentrated on Gensoki's aura to see if there was any magic in it at all.not one trace. Not even one single slither of magic that she could have somehow used to make Syaoran love her.so the feelings were all pure. Feeling foolish that she was still running after Syaoran, she turned her head down and drew imaginary figures on her desk with her finger as a small frown replaced her bright fake smile.

Syaoran looked at Sakura and noticed the smile frown.and wondered if it was his fault. His heart screamed that it was of course his fault, but his mind said that it was nothing. Then suddenly he noticed that Gensoki was talking.

"Huh? I'm sorry.could you repeat that?" Syaoran asked as he turned his attention back to Gensoki.

Gensoki scowled. She had noticed that her Syaoran had been staring at that girl whenever he had the chance. A strong jealousy swept across her soul. "I was asking if you knew that girl."

Syaoran turned to look at Sakura, "You mean Sakura?" Even something as simple as that set her off because they were obviously close because he called that girl by her first name. "I've known her for a long time. She's a close friend of mine."

But Gensoki doubted that a lot. She believed they were more than friends. Competition. Competition wasn't good. "How did you know her?" she pried.

"We went to grade school together." Syaoran drifted off into his own thoughts as he thought about the old card-capturing days and how close and.in love.they had been. But there was one thing he didn't even think of. That promise made three years ago.

Gensoki fumed as she saw Syaoran drift off into his own thoughts. You couldn't blame her because as his girlfriend.she was entitled to be jealous. She sent daggers through her eyes as she glared at the honey copper-haired girl sitting on the other side of the classroom. Tomoyo was watching everything as always. Everything was so complicated now.

[Sakura, being unselfish, decided to completely surrender Li to that Bara Gensoki without even a single fight. But it seems that Bara has something else planned.poor Sakura. I don't think I can even try to imagine what she's feeling now.] Tomoyo glanced at her friend with sad indigo eyes.

Hours dragged on until the bell finally rang. And every few minutes of so, Gensoki would glare at Sakura's back.and every second Sakura's friends worried about Sakura's delicate feelings. The instant the bell rang, Sakura debated whether to rush out of the classroom or to pack slowly so her friends wouldn't bombard her with questions. She had cheerleading practice today, so there was no doubt that her friend's would eventually ask her.so she decided to pack slowly.

Syaoran took this opportunity immediately and went to talk to her. "Hi Sakura."

Sakura put on her best fake smile and beamed up at him, "Hi Li."

The words struck Syaoran like.more powerful than a wave.more like a tsunami. "Why are you calling me Li?"

"Because it's been so long.that I feel like I don't know you." Sakura was trying to repel him away so maybe the pain wouldn't hurt so much because then she would have an excuse as to why Syaoran left her. She could say that she pushed him away.

"Don't say that! We're still good friends, I mean I still view you as one of my closest friends! So what have you been up to these three years?"

Sakura struggled to keep her sugar-coated gaze up at him. He had obviously forgotten what today was. The promise. His love for her. She was only a friend. "Oh nothing.I'm cheerleading captain now."

"That's amazing! You were always so good at that kind of stuff. Oh wait.am I keeping you from practice? I'm so sorry." The real reason was because Syaoran felt that this conversation was getting awkward. Sakura was right.it was like they didn't even know each other anymore. "I have to get going, but I'll talk to you later. Ok?"

Sakura nodded as she grabbed her bag and rushed towards the locker room. After a quick change into her practice clothes and grabbing her baton and pom poms, she rushed towards the field. Only a few people were sitting on the soft green grass stretching. And of course they were all of her close friends. As soon as she sat down, Sakura was drowned in multiple concerned questions from her friends.

"I'm fine. I guess I lost interest in him now.it's like I don't know him anymore. So I really don't mind him being with that girl," Sakura assured everyone. But the Fates would not allow her torture to end. Gensoki appeared on the field.

"Hi, I'm Bara Gensoki and.I'm here to try out for the cheerleading squad?" Gensoki spoke with such shyness that she immediately gained friendly attitudes from everybody. "Who's the cheerleading captain?"

Fingers pointed to Sakura as she stood up. "I'm the captain. Show what you know so far, and don't be afraid if you're not that experienced."

As soon as those words left her mouth, Gensoki began performing a series of flips and turns with such grace and perfection that it stunned the entire squad. When she finished in a split, a loud applause erupted from every person there. Sakura also smiled because they needed more good people. And Gensoki was even better than her.

"Bara-Chan! Wonderful! You've done more than got on the squad. I'm turning the position of captain to you," Sakura announced although her heart screamed its protest.

[She's prettier than me.better at cheerleading than me.and probably nicer than me. No wonder Syaoran loves her. This squad deserves a good captain. Not somebody like me.] Sakura pulled Gensoki aside, "I was thinking of quitting anyways.but please don't tell anybody. I'll turn my uniform and equipment to you after practice today."

Gensoki nodded in understanding as she smiled brightly as if she were happy from immediately gaining the position of captain. But in her mind, she laughed cruelly. [I win! I'm better than her at everything.Syaoran can't possibly love her now.]

Silence swept over the squad as Sakura announced that she wasn't going to be captain anymore. Nervous glances were passed among each cheerleader. None of them were sure of this sudden change. Sakura's closest friends on the squad knew that this must have had something to do with Syaoran and stood quiet as the question of why Sakura did that floated over them.

Gensoki had insisted that Sakura led the squad just for today so she could learn all the routines. After routine followed after routine, they etched themselves into Gensoki's mind. They were complicated routines that required a lot of flexibility.she reminded herself that she would have to train the girls to be more flexible.

After practice, Sakura secretly handed everything to Gensoki and left quietly. She knew that she would probably regret that action later.but for now all Sakura wanted was to isolate herself.

"I'll miss you.Li Syaoran."
