Faded Memories

Chapter 1 Falling Leaves

Sakura sat there and looked outside the window at the falling leaves of autumn, lost in her own thoughts. Unknown to her, the same words are playing over and over in both meiling's and SSsyaoran's mind I love you Ssakura, except theybut the two weren't looking out a window.

Syaoran

Syaoran was hurrying home, the only thoughts on his mind right now waswere his warm bed waiting for him so he couldto lieay down and drown his worries out in the darkness.

"Ssyaoran!"

Tthe sound of his name and a familiar voice The sound of a familiar voice calling his name made him turn around, his thoughts disappearing with the autumn breeze as he caught sight of a certain emerald eyed girl rushing to catch up with him, a huge carefree smile played on her lips.

theThe two strolled along on the deserted path. as Ssakura talked on and on about something that syaoran wasn't paying any attention to. Tthe only thing occupying his mind right now was her beautiful voice filled with laughter and joy.

theThe sun was starting to set, as the two passed the penguin park, creating lovely shades of pink and orange in the sky. Ssyaoran immediately stopped immediately and turned around when he noticed sakura's enchanting voice had disappeared. she was standing there admiring the sunset that, in his eyes, weren't nearly as interesting as her hair dancing in the wind.

"beautifulBeautiful" breathed Ssakura, totally hypnotized by the scenic view.

"yeaYea beautiful..." said syaoran clearly talking about something else, but Ssakura didn't notice that he was looking at her instead of the sky.

"I love you..."

" yaaaahUH?" sakura spun around and stared at Ssyaoran, unable to comprehend what he just said.

" I love you sakura" syaoran confessed once again this time making it clear that he was talking to her.

the two stood there for a moment staring straight into each others eyes but it seemed like forever before syaoran broke away from her gaze and left calling out a seeya behind him walking forward as if nothing had happened.

Sakura

Sakura was hurriedly walking home, an uncharacteristically annoyed look on her face, so that she could slaughter touya. He was supposed to walk home with her today but apparently he left when she left class a few minutes late.

"humph" she grumbled to herself as she walked. 'im going to kil…' her thoughts were left unfinished when she spotted a figure walking in front of her that looked surprisingly like…

"Syaoran!" she yelled out, pleased with the company on her walk home.

She ran towards him as he turned around to her call.

"Hi…" she huffed, catching her breath when she finally caught up with him.

The duo were walking along the dirt road that cut through the penguin park of their childhood and along the lake, sakura chattering on and on about the up coming autumn festival, which she had been looking forward to all month, not noticing that this wasn't their usual path nor that syaoran hadn't spoken a word since they started on their trek home.

"So I was thinking that we could go together as a gr…" just before she could finish the rest of her sentence, the magnificent array of colors from the sun set caught her eye and sakura stopped all together to look in awe at mother nature's beauty. Unable to think of any other thing to say in her state of stupor, sakura mumbled a "beautiful". Although she had heard syaoran agree, sakura wasn't much of the multitasker, so by the time she was about to respond, he had already spoken again.

" yaaaahUH?" OMG! Did I just hear what I thought I heard? No…. it probably only sounded like THAT because my mind was too preoccupied to work corectl…

" I love you sakura"

This time it was clear enough to pass through even sakura's thinkingfor even Sakura to comprehend, but her throat dried up and the words just wouldn't come out. Or maybe she was just too stunned to say anything. Their eyes locked, sakura unable to look away or react in anyway, like a deer caught in the headlights of an oncoming truck, but . However she found her eyes not wanting to look away whatsoever even as her heart beat like a drum and her entire body heated up despite of the cold wind.

And then the most horrible thing happened, well at the moment anyways. The amber blurred and disappeared, replaced by the retreating back of a li syaoran leaving sakura there, like, like a a statue still unable to move from the spot or wipe the stunned look on her face.

Something hit the ground to her side bringing A thumping noise to her side brought Ssakura's senses back immediately, enabling her to catch a blur of midnight blue as she turned around to face whatever it was that now had her complete attention. Her eyes tried to focus in the now darkening skies, and to her horror the thing was not a thing but a who, and not just any who.

"MEILING!!"
