**********

"Are you ready girls?" A girl of 16 asked to her team mates. This girl who was always cheerful, is Sakura. Yes, that's the Sakura from 8 years ago. If you can visually see her, you'll see that she has turned into a beautiful heavenly maiden.

She has a long ever flowing hair of the color, auburn that was always pulled into 2 pony tails and tied with a pink ribbon.

Her eyes were breathtakingly beautiful. They were in the color of emerald and it shined so bright that one could learn what her mood was just by staring at it.

Her skin was slightly tanned due to the exposure of the sun during her extra curricular activities. and it was so flawless that every girls would wish they were their own. Her face was stunningly gorgeous.

and everybody has to admit, she was naturally beautiful, a beauty like that made for a princess. Her lips were soft and rosy red and she was of medium tall and her composure was lean and straight, no wonder many modeling scouts of different companies fought over her to get

her to do modeling business. But life for Sakura was simply enough. She didn't ask for more. She had all the love she could get, from her family, friends, even suitors. Everybody

in Tomoeda loves her. And also, she didn't need extra money for she was already wealthy. Her dad, a great architect was known throughout the whole world.

He designed great buildings and places from different high places and fortunately, with all those work, he still found a way to spend enough time with his supportive family.

Meanwhile, Sakura's mom was stunningly beautiful. She had emerald eyes, just like her daughter and she had a long, flowing, wavy greyish hair. Her mom's career was

modeling.

Because of that, their house was almost full of photos of her. Sakura's mom was kind and gentle. She loved her family and her family loves her very much.

Sakura has a brother too, only, he was what you call, an "Overprotective Brother." Whenever one of her suitors would ask her out, he would always glare at them and he would interview them with questions... those personal ones to be specific.

And of course, the suitors did not dare to lay a finger to the "scary man's sister."

8 years later surely did a lot of change to Sakura. She was cute back then, and now that she's 16, she's almost perfect. Almost, because she never experienced true love.

The true love she was always getting are just sisterly/daughterly love. She didn't love anybody more than she loved her family, except when she was a mere 8 years old.

She loved this one guy very much. He would be her inspiration to her every success whenever he appears to her mind. And when she was down, she would always think,

"Would he like it if I was sad? No, he likes it when I'm happy... and that's what I'll be..." So then... the reason of her perfect life was that guy. He was the root of it all...

He was the reason why she was always cheerful and happy. He was the reason why she always smiled, and most of all, he was the reason of her strength.

The back of a small boy can be seen. He looks back and smiles. He had crunchy chestnut hair (A/N: That's not food for all the food lover people!) and cute, warm amber eyes that

always made Sakura melt whenever she looks at them. Atleast, that's what she remembers. All she remembers of him is their promise for each other, and that he was her first love, and he will always be.

"Of course we're ready, Sakura!!! This is only the biggest game we're cheering on ever!" Her team mates responded back, grinning.

They were all dressed in their pink and white cheerleading uniforms with A red brightTOMOEDA letters imprinted on it.

The skirt is light pink and the hem is white that fell down just a couple of inches above their knees. They were also wearing

the same matching shoes. (Lol. AHAHAHA!! I'm actually basing their uniforms on the cheerleading team for our basketball team.

They were all wearing matching shoes that matched their outfits. Anyway, back to the story! ^-_^:)

Sakura inhaled deeply and nodded happily and faced forward. "Right! Let's go then!"

Sakura held something that was hanging from her neck. She looked at it and smiled.

"Please bring us good luck." she slowly opened her hand. It revealed a small sea green jade pendant.

Sakura looks up to the sky. The scenes of yesterday were flashing back on her mind.

~flash back~

"Sakura..." A certain boy with crunchy chestnut hair said. (Stop drooling! I told you already, it's not food!) He was slowly walking towards Sakura, who had her hands near her heart.

He held something in his hands. Sakura looked at him questioningly.

"Li?" she asked. Li opened his hands and presented her a little box with a pink ribbon tied around it.

Sakura, still not getting what he was trying to do, said, "What is it? Li?"

Li urged her to open it and so she did. Once she opened it, she caught a sight of the most beautiful pendant she has ever seen.

It was a beautiful sea green jade pendant that sparkled so brightly.

Sakura gasped and hugged Li, which made him blush furiously.

"Thanks Li! You shouldn't have! This means a lot to me." she said, hugging him tightly. "Why don't you put it on, Sakura" The crunchy haired boy whose name was Li suggested.

Sakura nodded in agreement and took the pendant out of it's box and tried to put it on, but she found it very hard to do so.

Li chuckled and took the necklace off from her hands.

"Here, let me put it on you." He said as he spun Sakura and stared at her back. (BTW, She had short hair back then just like in the anime and the manga) His hands were trembling with nervousness. Sakura giggled at Li. She knows he was nervous because the pendant was

shaking with him, and it tickled her. "I'm sorry," he said, blushing furiously. "It's okay." Li finally finished hooking the pendant together. When he took his hands back, she faced him, smiling.

He looked at Sakura and blushed. "Wow, It looks great on you!" he complimented, smiling and blushing at the same time. Sakura's face went slightly red. "Thanks.." was all she said.

"Sakura, I have something to tell you." Li said, getting serious, but the shade of red was still on his cheeks. "What is it?" Sakura asked, smiling innocently. Syaoran blushed and looked straight at her eyes.

He always found Sakura's eyes beautiful and stunning. He thought that maybe, when she grows up, there will be a lot of guys who will be after her. A frown suddenly found it's way on Syaoran's lips when he thought of it.

He shook the whole idea thinking that it's bad to think of that about Sakura. But inside, he was imaging how he's going to beat up every person who tries to lay a finger on his dear bestfriend. (Wow! It wasn't only Touya who was going to do that!)

"Sakura, I... I..." he said pausing. "I love you!" he said, finally letting his most important feeling out. Sakura was shocked. Her heart was kicking wildly inside her. The three words echoing through her mind.

Tears suddenly came out of her eyes. Syaoran thinks it was tears of disapproval, but it wasn't. It was tears of joy.

Sakura had always thought that he was being nice to her because he thinks of her as a sister, but she never expected this. She never expected him to love her back.

"Oh Syaoran! I love you too!" she said, hugging the completely shocled boy. He too thought that she only love him as a brother.

"You... you do?" he asked, just to make sure his mind wasn't playing tricks on him. Sakura nodded shyly.

"Then will you wear the pendant I gave you until I come back to show me that you love me? If you remove it, that means, you no longer feel the same way about me, let alone remember me." he said.

Sakura smiled sweetly at him.

"I will Syaoran, I will wear it forever, I will never forget about you and you will always be the one on my mind... always. (AHHH!! It's kinda hard to do these kind of scenes. *sigh* I tried my very best)

Both of them hugged once more, not wanting to let go. If it was the final time that they will see each other, then they might as well make the best of it.

Their hug broke off when the loud speaker interrupted them. It says that the plane for Hong Kong has finally arrived. Sakura burst into tears again because she knew it was time for her to let go of the boy she loved so much. Soon enough, Syaoran's

personal butler appeared and called Syaoran. Telling him that they must go. Syaoran nodded, his head drooped down. He gave Sakura one last look and turned to leave. Carrying his suit case with him.

Sakura waved good bye at Syaoran. She was depressed and all sad that he was leaving.

"I won't forget about you, Syaoran." she said, with silent tears strolling down her beautiful face.

Syaoran looked back and smiled.

~End of Flash backs~

Sakura began to run leading them to the right side of the field where crowds of fans and watchers gathered.

They were holding their batons and pompoms on opposite hands.

Loud cheers were heard as it enveloped the campus' large, wide field. And the sun shone even more brightly under them and somehow, it wasn't hot.

As a matter of fact it's as if the whether greeted them with fair clouds and light wind.

"This is going to be the best game ever!' Sakura thought, smiling.

The crowds' yelling rose louder when the soccer team came into sight. One of them was kicking the ball around the field, followed by

the other players. Sakura and the others cheered loudly, jumping up and flipping in front of the crowd, who in turn, cheered even louder.

After the introductions, the game finally started. The soccer players were running across the field, trying to get the ball to the goal.

And the cheering continued on. Sakura and the others were spinning their batons and tossed it into the air and caught it. Sakura did

a lot of spinning, front and back flips.

Sure the audience watched the soccer team play, but what caught their attention was the leader of the cheerleading team, Sakura.

OoOoohs and Ahhs were heard whenever she did acrobats and gymnastics.

~after the game~ (Sorry if that was short. I'm not really good at describing sports games)

"Wow! That was superb, Eriol!" Sakura said running up to her friend. Eriol's eyes twinkled when he saw Sakura coming. He greeted her with a swet smile.

"It was cool back there, but you were awesome! With all those spinning flips, back flips of yours, I admit that I could never have done those myself." With that compliment, Sakura

blushed. Eriol has blue hair and azure eyes he also had spectacles that made him look smart. He was full of wisdom and Sakura thinks he knows everything that was happening.

He is the captain of the soccer team and a close friend of Sakura's. Sakura grinned and held up a pretend microphone. "So, mr. Hiriigazawa..." she said, acting all mature and professional like reporter.

"How does it feel to win the championships for Tomoeda high academy?" she asked. Eriol sweat dropped and stared at his friend. Soon, he burst into laughter, pointing at the

angry Sakura. She had a pop-a-vein on her head. "I don't see why It's funny." she said, pounding Eriol with a big hammer.

"She stands on the ground, with one feet over Eriol's back. He had spiral eyes and was lying on the ground.

"Ahhh.... I see stars, lots of 'em." he said. Sakura flashed a victory sign and giggled.

Eriol stood up, rubbing his head. "Why did you do that? I was only laughing because I think that you should be in the Tomoeda lunch news.

The reporters there are boring! They are nothing compared to you!" he said. Sakura giggled and told him that maybe she will. Eriol grinned.

Out of nowhere, a raven haired girl jumped in front of them.
