It was a wonderful afternoon in Tomoeda and in the big school of Tomoeda High, teenagers laughed, chatted, gossiped, eat, and did everything they could do until Lunch ended. Sighing greatfully that no one will find her this time, Sakura climbed towards a small hill that was close to their school. Standing there, clearly all alone was a very huge tree filled with cherry blossoms. Sakura loves that tree. It was the meaning of her name. She hummed to herself as she walked towards it, with her lunchbag in her hand. Atleast Tomoyo and the others won't find her here. It was the last place they would look(a/n: don't ask me why). As she got closer to the tree, she noticed a figure walking slowly, as if examining the tree. Wondering who the hell it was, she ran towards the figure and got the shock of her life.
"YOU!" the both of them said.
"What are you doing here?" they cried in unison.
Syaoran and Sakura both looked down on the floor, not wanting to blush their bloody heads off.
It stayed that way for fifteen minutes(a/n: my god! that long?), until Syaoran checked the time, and said, "One hour before schoole starts. Do you really think it's a good idea to just stand here all day, doing nothing?"
Sakura gave him a crooked smile, "Oh, yeah sorry."
Syaoran stared at her. "So is this your tree?"
Sakura nodded, "Kind of." She looked around, stopped for a second, and looked at Syaoran, "The tree's big enough for both of us. You wanna eat lunch with me?"
Syaoran gave her a friendly smile and nodded. They sat down, and took out their lunch. "So where're your other friends?"
Sakura stopped, her food inches away from her mouth. "I keep to myself every lunch. Sometimes they're too noisy. I find peace and quiet everyday here. Nobody really bothers looking for me here. They think i'm off at the classroom, or hiding in the girl's washroom or something."
Syaoran stopped stuffing himself to give Sakura a dotty eyed look. "Why would anyone think that?"
Sakura shrugged and continued eating. Syaoran looked at her for a minute, before continuing eating his food. After several minutes, they were done with their food, and they disposed it in a nearby trashcan. Syaoran took out his pocketbook and began reading. Sakura placed her arms on her head, and examined the tree(a/n: I have no idea why). She was silent for a minute, before asking Syaoran, "Why did you come here?"
Syaoran scrunched up his face, before asking Sakura, "Why in the world are you asking me that?"
Sakura whacked him in the head with a funny expression on her face. "Not that you idiot! I mean why did you come 'here'? In the tree? No one ever comes up here but me!"
"Oh sorry," Syaoran gave her an apologetic smile. "Well, just the look of this tree gave me peace in mind, so I guess I wanted to check it out. I never knew this was owned by someone."
Sakura gave him a big smile. "I don't own the tree, but anyone hardly comes up here. Not unless he wants to kill hiself,"Syaoran raised an eyebrow, " which I don't think so. Or just wants peace and forget everything." Sakura leaned in against the tree, closed her eyes and smiled. "We used to have a tree like this at home when I was a little kid." The she frowned as if remembering something that she so long wants to forget. "But it got hit by thunder one day, when there was a really bad storm. My dad had to cut it down. I was crying for weeks," Sakura sighed.
Syaoran stared at her. "Why?"
Sakura chuckled softly. "Once you get attached to something, you can never let it go. When I arrived here in Tomoeda High school, the very first thing that made me smile for the very first time in nine years was this tree. And well, I was happy again, utnil two months ago." Sakura remembered the mournful day, when Yushi died of the horrible, horrible accident. No one was to blame. It was an incident no one thought would happen. They were all careless...
A tear trickled down Sakura's cheek, and before she knew it she dozed off. When she did, her head landed on Syaoran's shoulder and Syaoran didn't mind at all. He stared at Sakura for a minute, and looked at the beautiful tree. "I used to have a painful memory...too painful that I took my family's fortune and escaped from Hong Kong. If only you knew what happened."
#Flashback#
It was dark, and eerie, and Syaoran was all alone on his room, in the big mansion owned by his family. He was six, and he was scared. Thunder struck, and Syaoran cowered in the darkness(a/n: sori, had to make him a scaredy cat at that time). He didn't know that there were two people walking towards their house, and broke in. Syaoran stayed in his bed, not knowing if he wanted to go and get a drink. He looked at his clock and saw that it was two in the morning.
Just as he was about to go out his room, an ear splitting scream erupted in the night, and Syaoran froze. There was footsteps, more screams, slashing, two loud gunshots, and then... horrible silence. Syaoran stared where he was, unable to move. Then he heard a man roughly said, "Are there anymore people in th house? We don't want to be caught."
Syaoran knew he couldn't be found by the robbers. He was in a sealed door, that can only be open when you find the right book, open the right page(a/n: I kno, I kno,it sounds wierd. But its to protect him), and a secret room will b openned. Syaoran begged his mom to make that his room. And not only that, but all his family's fortunes, and precious belongings were hidden in a room that's next to him, but only he has the key. He wore it like a pendant, around his neck.
Another man's voice can be heard. "Come'n let's find the bloody fortune and split!"
They began searching, their footsteps echoing the silence of the night. Syaoran ragained his strength, and pushed the silent alarm. Syaoran then went to his bed, and tried to sleep while the police comes and take them away. Minutes passed, and Syaoran finally fell asleep.
#Next morning#
When Syaoran woke up, there was a commotion downstairs. He forgot everything that happened yesterday, and when he got out, and what he saw made him remember everything. There were police officers everywhere, and they saw Syaoran staring at them in disbelief. They huddled in on him, and began asking him questions as if he was a grown man. Syaoran began to cry, screaming, "Where's my mommy?(he he! what a wussO.o)"
Releazing that he's only five, the officers called out an ambulance, and when they arrived, the officers found out from Li that the thieves killed his family and were trying to rob his family's possessions, and since that he was the last of Li's, the officers decided to give all the treasure to Syaoran. He was put in a high class orphanage(a/n:lol), trained to be a powerful martial arts student for protection. Li stayed there for many years, until he was thirteen years old, and he can finally get a house for himself. He stayed at an apartment for himselff and went out after three and a half years, to try and live inside his family's mansion. After four months, the memories still haunted him, so he decided to live a new life somewhere else. Somewhere that can free his mind from those frightful memories. And maybe, just maybe, later, he can face his fears and try to go back to Hong Kong. He would be gone for one year, and he will return to face his fears.
The next week, he packed all his belongings, and some of his family's money. His childhood friend, Eriol, who knew him more than anyone else, agreed to tag along.
And so here he was, in the good ol' city of Tomoeda(a/n: I dunno where the bloody hell that is,k?) to try and wipe the memory of the horrible event of his family.
#End of Flashback#
"Syaoran? Syaoran?"
Syaoran groaned, and rubbed his eyes. When he was fully awake, he saw the beautiful face of Sakura, and without realizing it, had a face a shade of a riped tomato. He looked away so as not to let Sakura see. "Come'n! The bell's gonna ring in five minutes!"
"O...okay..." Syaoran stammered, standing up. Sakura helped him, and then brushed bits of dirt from her skirt. Syaoran looked at anywhere but at Sakura.
"What happened to you? You were talking in your sleep! Are you okay?" Sakura asked, with worried eyes.
"N...no I'm fine...really!" Syaoran said.
Sakura looked at him for a minute, and they walked back to the school.
