Finally! The re-do version! I didn't like the first one so I re-did it a little. This is a little longer than the first one. The start is almost the same but the other parts are different from the fist one. I hope you like it.

A/N: This is my first fanfic so be easy on me!
Summary: It's Syaoran's 18th birthday and he misses her so much. Then he hears a song reminding him of the reason why he loves Sakura.
Here goes...again...
The Best Gift
July 13, At the Li Mansion…
"Syaoran! Happy Birthday man! I can't believe your 18!" a boy with midnight blue hair and sapphire eyes in glasses greeted.
"Hiiragizawa, what do you want!" the lad glared at him. This was Syaoran Li, a young lad with messy chocolate brown hair matched with piercing amber eyes. Today is his birthday and he really wasn't in the mood because he misses a certain emerald-eyed princess of his.
'So it's true. He really misses her.' theboy besidewho greeted himthought. This lad is Eriol Hiiragizawa, the so-called bestfriend of our birthday boy
'Sakura... sigh Imiss you' Syaoran thought. 'You said you'd be here today.'
"Nothing, anyway, Tomoyo and I prepared a little gift for you. Let's go in the garden, shall we?" Eriol said.
"Yeah, whatever."
Inside the Mansion...
"Sakkie, you ready?" a girl with purplish hair and amethyst eyes asked her bestfriend.
"Yup." she replied. 'I hope he'll like the surprise.'
"Then let's go, Syaoran and Eriol are waiting." the girl said. Her name is Tomoyo Daidouji and beside her is none other than the emerald-eyed princess, Sakura Kinomoto.
"Ok." She replied.
And together, the approached the garden...
Outside the Li Mansion... in the garden...
"Why did you drag me here?" Syaoran asked, anger rising in him.
"You'll soon find out" Eriol replied calmly.
Just about when he was going to shout at him, he heard a familiar voice by the Cherry Blossom tree...
Can't somebody explain to me
Why everybody's tryin' to be
Livin' like a celebrity
Doin' what they see on MTV
Ice is cool but I'm lookin' for more
Simple things is what my heart beats for
And there she was, standing there, singing her heart out to him and all he did was say, "Sakura."
That's me
I don't ask for much
Baby
Havin' you is enough
For the first time that day, he smiled.
You ain't got to buy nothin'
It's not what I want
Baby,its you
We don't have to go nowhere
It's not what I want
Baby,its you
It's not by what you got, I know you got a lot
No matter what you do, you always gettin' hot
It's you... it's you ...
Baby, all I want is you, yeah
He remembers how she acted towards him in their first meeting. 'I remember how she hated me because I was rich and spoiled.' He chuckled.
It don't matter that your car is fly
And your rims are spinnin' on the side
And it don't matter where we go tonight
Cause if I'm with you, I'll be alright
That's cool, but I'm lookin for more
It's your love that my heart beats for
Cause that's me
You don't have to spend a dime
Baby
I just want your time (yeah ... )
Then it hit him.
You ain't got to buy nothin'
It's not what I want
Baby, it's you
We don't have to go nowhere (It's not what I want)
It's not what I want
Baby, it's you
It's not by what you got, I know you got a lot
No matter what you do, you're always gettin' hot
It's you ... (it's you) It's you (Baby)
Baby all I want is you, yeah
(Hey ... ... ... yeah)
The reason why Syaoran loves her...
You ain't got to buy nothin' (It's not what I want)
It's not what I want (oh)
Baby, it's you
We don't have to go nowhere (nowhere)
It's not what I want
Baby, it's you
It's not by what you got, I know you got a lot (hey, yeah)
No matter what you do, you're always gettin' hot
It's you ... (it's you) ... it's you
Baby (baby) all I want is you, yeah
(Yeah)
...was because she didn't like him for his looks nor his riches, she loved him because of what's inside, not the outside. And that song made him remember it.
Finally, the song is over. Sakura leaned closer to him and gave him a kiss on the cheeks, then a big hug. He hugged back.
"I'm sorry that I didn't tell you that I was coming. I wanted it to be a surprise, you see."
"It's alright as long as you're here."
She chuckled.
He broke the hug and asked, "What's so funny?"
"Nothing."
"You know..." Syaoran started.
"What?"
"That song reminded me of how much I love you."
"Aww, I love you too Syaoran. By the way, Happy Birthday!"
"Thanks. Where's my kiss?" he joked.
She chuckled. "You spoiled rich kid."
"Hey! I'm not a kid anymore! I'm eighteen, for your information!"
She just laughed even more.
And before he could say anything else, Sakura leaned forward for a kiss...and before he knew it, he was kissing her back. They stayed like that for a long time until they parted due to lack of oxygen.
This was truly a memorable day for him.
And for the first time in years, Eriol's gift to him was the best gift he could ever wish for.
