Haha um.. hey guys! Remember me? Stars from Above? Geez, it's been 2 years since I posted anything on - I feel like such a loser lol.

It's been so long, that I'VE practically forgotten what my own story was about! As I'm sure most of you have as well So..... I've decided to re-post it, is that okay? Maybe my loyal readers from before won't mind reading this again since it's been so long. Heck, I even started reading it again, I felt as if I was reading a completely new story all together XD

I'm a dork.. so anyway.. I'm working on chapter 24 right now - trying to get out of my ridiculous writers block - maybe you all can help me :) I'm going to edit some stuff in chapters since I wrote most of this when I was 13 - haha dang.. I can't believe I'm 17 now I would really like to change a lot of stuff in the story, but it's too long to go back and do that because I'd have to change EVERYTHING. Bear with me - maybe I'll write another story in the future

SORRY FOR THE DELAY, HERE'S THE NEW AND um.. improved? UNTIL YOU COME BACK TO ME:

Until You Come Back to Me

Prologue

"Li-kun!" Who was calling him? "Li-kun, wait!" It couldn't be. The young boy of 16 slowly turned around to meet a pair of bright emerald eyes rushing towards him. His breath caught in his chest and his heart began to pound. He swallowed, hoping she wouldn't notice that a light pink blush had begun to spread across his face. The girl with sun-kissed amber hair finally caught up to him and put a hand to her chest as she tried to catch her breath. Syaoran began to smile at her while the girl's eyes were still downwards. Only then did he notice where they were. He looked upwards at the cherry blossom tree where he often came to think; think thoughts like why he couldn't get her out of his mind - he began to blush even deeper.

Sakura's brow creased with concern, "Li-kun? Are you all right?"

He was taken aback, "Wha? O-oh uh yes." She was worried about him? His heart skipped a beat.

"That's good," she breathed with a smile of relief, "you've been acting kind of strange all day so I just wanted to make sure nothing was wrong. There isn't, is there?" She looked up at him hopefully. His amber eyes were drawn to hers and suddenly he couldn't breathe. She didn't know how much was wrong. How he didn't think he'd ever be able to tell the girl he loved how he felt. He just wished he could stay like this forever; staring into the bright green pools of the one he adored. He felt his face grow hot and immediately left her gaze.

"Hoe?" Sakura whispered.

"N-no, nothing's wrong." He said softly still looking at the ground. If he didn't look at the girl maybe he could get away without telling her. If their eyes met he knew he wouldn't be able to lie.

"I'm glad!" She exclaimed. "Um.....um...L-Li-kun?"

"Hmm?"

"Today....in the elevator.....you called me Sakura, right?"

Syaoran froze with wide eyes.

"Ah." He answered, still not meeting her gaze. He had forgotten about that. What was she going to think? Panic started to spread through him and suddenly he realized he didn't have the strength to stand. His legs went numb and he slumped back, sitting against the tree. 'Oh no.' he thought. 'Oh no, what am I going to do now?'

Sakura sat down next to him on her knees and faced the boy. She smiled.

"It made me really happy - when you called me by my name. That's how I got the courage to use the Float card. Because of you....." Syaoran's amber eyes widened immensely. She was....happy? A shade of happiness overcame him and relieved him of his fears. Sakura continued, her cherry lips still smiling sweetly,

"So, I wanted to say thank you and......" She put a small hand on his arm and they both felt a spark course through them. Syaoran's gasped and desperately tried to control the beating of his heart. He didn't want to look like a completely fool in front of her.

"I wanted to know if......if I could call you Syaoran-kun and if you could still call me Sakura."

Syaoran turned to her, his mouth dry, afraid his voice might fail him.

"Y-you really want to?" All he could hear was his name escaping her lips over and over again. Syaoran. She had said his name - something no one outside of his family had ever dared to speak. His heart took another leap as she answered.

"Yes."

A smile found his lips, "Then I will call you Sakura."

Sakura's eyes shone and just the essence of her seemed to swell with happiness. She lifted her hand from his arm and he was immediately aware of the warmth that left him. But suddenly she threw herself at his chest and wrapped her arms around his neck as she cried for joy.

"Oh, Syaoran-kun! Arigatou!! I'm so happy.."

Syaoran's arms came protectively around her and closed his eyes and whispered, "Me too."

Sakura walked in her room and sighed happily as she closed the door behind her. Kero flew out of his drawer and crossed his little arms.

"You're sure back late. Did you bring me a present?"

"Hello to you too!" Sakura laughed and dug around in her backpack until she came out with a piece of chocolate cake wrapped in a blue napkin that she had saved for him. She put in on her desk and sat down on her bed while Kero tied the napkin around his neck.

"I'm don't know why I bothered getting that for you - after all, you did eat every single one of my cookies that Yukito-san gave me yesterday," 'all except one.." she thought remembering the teddy bear cookie she had shared with Syaoran in the elevator.

"Mmmmmm....Wai!!!! Cake! Cake! Oishiiiii... It's sooooo good!"

"And you're lucky I still had it. We almost ate it beca...."

"NANI??? YOU ALMOST ATE MY CAKE????" He flew up to her face with a pained expression plastered on his yellow head.

"SA-KU-RA.......WHY WOULD YOU DO SUCH A THING???" He asked, his voice lowered and strained.

"Well I was TRYING to say that after I felt Clow-san's aura..."

"WHAT? YOU FELT CLOW'S AURA???"

"Yes! Now let me finish! After I felt his aura, Syaoran-kun and I got locked in this elevator as we were trying to leave -"

"WHAT??? Oooooh that brat! I'm gonna kill him the next time I see him.. That GAKI!!"

"Iie, Kero-chan, please don't! He helped me a lot and he was really -! ..sweet.." she ended softly, her brow furrowed. Where did that come from - such thoughts about him never entered her mind before..

Kero looked at her curiously, "What do you mean?"

Sakura closed her eyes in consternation. She couldn't bring herself to tell him how she felt when he lit the ofuda and told her not to cry or how it squeezed her heart when he called her name. It felt.. private. But she didn't even understand what these feelings meant - she had to figure it out on her own first. She reached into her backpack and pulled out the Float card that she had just transformed, handing it to him.

He took the card and looked at her strangely.

"I'm going to bed now, Kero-chan!" she tried to exclaim happily in a normal tone, but found that it came out strained.

Kero was about to protest until he looked her in the eye. His face softened.

"All right, Sakura." He flew back to his cake and started eating while Sakura curled up on the bed her back facing him. When Kero was sure she couldn't see him, he put down his spoon and stared at her form. He knew there was something wrong. No matter how normal she tried to act her voice always failed her. He looked at her aura and noticed that the pink light surrounding her was swirled with white - a sign of immense confusion. But her aura wasn't the only thing that he noticed. At that same moment he remembered that she had called the boy Syaoran. He closed his eyes.

He understood.

"Good luck, Sakura. Zettai daijoubu dai yo."

'What's wrong with my heart?' Sakura asked herself. 'What am I feeling? I'm so happy but.....I feel like crying at the same time. I'm so cold...' She closed her eyes and tried to remember how it felt when Syaoran held her in his arms. 'I was so warm then....inside. Now it's as if something is - missing. Syaoran-kun is my friend, but why do I feel so different when I'm near him? I don't feel like that around Tomoyo-chan or Rikka-chan or Chiharu chan - not even Takashi-kun. And why is he acting so differently all of a sudden? He's being - nicer?

And.....why did he call me by my name? 'She tried to tell herself that he just wanted to be her friend. But deep down she knew something else was going on. She just didn't know what.

"I'm so confused." She whispered as a troubled tear slid down her cheek.
