~*~RECAP:
Sakura choked into sobs as she kept on walking, "Good-bye…little wolf…"
'Why is she walking away???'
He couldn't just let her go…not now…not ever…, "SAKURA!!!"
But she had already boarded the plane.
All hope left Syaoran's shattered heart as a tear made its way down his cheek and fell to the ground with a clash, "…Sakura……..I……I…love you…"
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*END OF RECAP*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
~***~***~~~~***~***~~~~ONE YEAR LATER~~~~***~***~~~~***~
It was a year after Sakura left, and Syaoran already found himself at the airport to leave for Hong Kong.
He'd already given up on finding Sakura… But he knew she was out there somewhere… As much as he wanted to find her…he couldn't seem to find the time anymore.
He'd been already chosen to be head of the Li Clan whether he married or not. The elders needed him there.
They all knew it was no use in forcing him to marry again, for Sakura was all he ever wanted.
*Plane for Hong Kong now boarding. Repeat…*
Syaoran got up and gathered his things then made his way to the check-in.
"Name?"
"Li Syaoran."
She typed in his name and then looked up at him, "Ah yes, Li-san. First class, I see. Welcome to Hong Kong Airlines. Have a pleasant flight." She smiled at him toothily.
He smiled a little. But nothing could ever make him truly smile… It was only his Sakura who could accomplish such a thing… But now…she was gone… And now Syaoran would never smile again.
He trudged on and finally made it to the bottom of the staircase leading to the entrance of the plane. He looked back and stared up at the sky, "Good-Bye Sakura… I guess we'll never be together…"
He blew a kiss into the calm, Tomoeda wind, "That was for you Sakura…wherever you are…"
And he headed on into that plane, never to return.
He'd never see Sakura ever again anyway, right? Right???
~~~~***~***~~~~***~***~~~~***~***~~~~***~***~~~~***~***
~*~IN A HIGH SCHOOL IN HONG KONG~*~
"Hey baby! Why don't you tell me about the calculus equation called 'U+Me= us', eh?"
Sakura rolled her eyes as she flicked her shiny, long, auburn hair over her shoulder, annoyed, 'Men teachers'
"Get lost!"
Indeed they did………--in her emerald orbs of wonder.
Day after day, there would be loads of men asking her out. But she declined all. All she ever needed was Syaoran, but he never loved her back the way she loved him.
*BRINNG* The bell rang, indicating that lunch break was over.
"Ha! Luckily for me, my shift is done for the day! See ya!"
She walked out of the Teacher's Lounge and took out her car keys as she made her way to her silver Porsche. She definitely did make a lot of changes over the 12 months.
She'd developed her own living all on her own. But of course she kept in touch with her father. He'd told her that he never said a word to anyone about her whereabouts.
But…unknown to Sakura…Fujitaka knew Syaoran was leaving for Hong Kong today. There was no way he was going to leave these two lovebirds without each other!
Sakura was a poetry teacher—WHO KNEW??? Sakura--a poetry teacher! (The shock of the century! Heeheeh =^.~=)
All the love; all the heartbreak; the crash of emotions that drove her crazy 12 months ago…all in the doing of a man named Syaoran…a man she loved…and still does…
… The one who inspired her of the impossible…
Gods she loved him… But now he's gone from her life forever.
She got into her car and drove off away to her house. Now she could do whatever she wanted because she was independently free. Free of all emotion. Free of all sadness. There was no man to cause her pain anymore.
But then again, now she felt more content than ever, for now she was everything she ever wanted to be—herself.
~~~***~***~~~~LATER AT 5:00 P.M. IN THE AIRPORT~~~~***~***~~~
Syaoran spotted his luggage on the conveyer belt and grabbed it.
'Well…here I am… The first step to getting over Sakura…'
He walked on out of the airport and spotted his limo waiting for him at the driveway.
"Ah, master Li. Welcome back home. He smiled warmly at Syaoran as he took his baggage and loaded it into the trunk then helped him into the backseat of the limo.
Moments later, they were off to the Li manor.
~~~~***~***~~~~***~***~~~~
Sakura soon found herself jumbled up in a bunch of quizzes to correct. Oh, what a pain!
Moments later, she finally finished. She took a sip of her coffee gratefully. This was her first break after five hours of quiz-grading.
She took out her laptop and turned it on. She found a peculiar file entitled "Our Chat." She opened it up and burst into tears when she did so.
It was Sakura's very first chat with _w_o_l_f_i_s_h_xLix_g_r_i_n …or also known as Syaoran.
Oh, how she missed him… She loved him more than anything in the whole universe.
But he'd never love her back… Sakura knew that as a fact. (A/N: But it isn'tttt! ^___^ heeheeh)
With one last depressed sigh, she closed the document and dragged the file to the 'Recycle Bin' on her desktop.
She had to forget about him…
But…she just can't seem to let go when he was her first and only love…
~~~~***~***~~~~***~***~~~~***~***~~~~***~***~~~~
Wei pulled up into the front of the Li mansion. Syaoran sighed sadly. As he got out of the limo.
Here he was…
Oh, the many painful memories he remembered that occurred all here… in his home…
It was the place he found out he was to be in an arranged marriage.
The place he trained and trained until he bled, just to get where he was right now.
…He was officially the Li Clan Leader…
…But it was so lonely at the top without Sakura.
He sighed sadly, 'Life goes on….But mine won't… Not without Sakura…'
Syaoran stared out at this horrible imprisonment…
Here is where his legacy begins…
…And where his memories of Sakura will end.
…if they ever will…
Syaoran broke out of his thoughts when a girl with long, black, waist-length hair came running down the steps to greet him, squealing happily along the way.
"Xiao Lang!!!" She finally reached him and was about to kiss him straight on the lips but when she tried to do so, her lips only came in contact with his palm.
"Meiling, you know we're not together anymore. We broke it off, remember?" His eyes turned icy amber.
"Oh…" her shoulders slumped as she folded her arms, "*sigh* Whatever…welcome home anywayss…"
Yelan came down the steps and walked over to her son, "Xiao Lang."
"Mother."
She eyed him carefully as she walked around him in slow circles, taking her time, "So, son, welcome home… From this day forward, you shall get what is coming to you. I thought I might save this for later, but I just can't wait to see the look on your…face." She eyed him VERY carefully. That icy voice of Yelan's always could make anyone shudder with fear.
She came closer…
Syaoran stood there, frozen in place. He couldn't move.
'Oh how pathetic… I'm 23 years old and I'm STILL afraid of my mother???'
and closer……………………(ready for this???)…………………………AND HUGGED HIM!
Syaoran's eyes were practically popping out of their sockets.
But it wasn't as warm as Sakura's hugs…
'Wait… I gotta forget about her…' Oh, but no matter how he tried he would always find himself thinking about this girl with long, auburn locks…and…emerald green eyesssss…-- But then again…the last time he saw Sakura, she had hazel eyes and jet-black hair…
And yet… the only way he could remember her was with all her original traits. Everything he loved about her. That genki attitude. That soft, innocent style that sent shivers up and down his spine. Oh, yeah now that was Sakura.
But she was gone… and that's that.
He shook the thoughts of Sakura from his head. The memories were too painful.
Yelan looked at her son. Something was obviously going on in his mind.
"Xiao Lang?"
"Yes?"
"Are you okay?"
"Um… yes mother. I'm gonna turn in for the night…" with that, he just walked straight into the house in a daze.
Yelan smiled.
"There's a special girl in his thoughts…"
Meiling looked up excitedly, "Is it me???"
Yelan's smile faded into a sarcastic stare, "No, Meiling-san… It's someone he loves…"
Her smile returned as she stared at Syaoran's bedroom light turn on from the window, "ah, young love… Something I once had…" (A/N: you know, about Syaoran's father…dead? Well, yeah, that's what she's talking about.)
Yelan walked into the house as Meiling thought about what she said.
Realization soon hit her. A jealous frown took over her expression, 'It must be that Kinomoto girl!'
But then her envious frown changed into a wicked grin, 'But no matter… I'll have him begging at my feet soon enough… And better yet; since Xiao Lang is in Hong Kong, Kinomoto can't get to him! HA! Got it allllll figured out… Oh this is all too perfect! He'll be mine yet…'
(")(") (")_(") ("\ ^__^ /") (")(") (")_(") ("\ ^__^ /") (")(") (")_(")
Oh wow… Syaoran is really trying to forget about her, huh? Oh what a misundertsandinngg… Eh, life goes on… But their lives won't, without eachother! Heeh
Oh yeah, heheh! I forgot to mention that Meiling is gonna be a bad girl in this fic. SO SORRY MEILING FANS!!! T.T It was the only way I could make it fit into the story! Don't get me wrong! I'm a Meiling fan as well! ^_^ But so sorry I just HAD to do it…T.T So don't kill me!
Newayz,
