~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Sakura stood on the stern of the ship staring out at the coast of Ireland. It was Friday, April 10, 1912; the third day of Titanic's maiden voyage. Titanic had stopped in Queenstown the night before, and had waited till morning to set off again. In Queenstown, a little over one hundred passengers boarded the huge ship. To Sakura's and her parents' surprise, one of their friends, Molly Brown, boarded. History would come to know her as the unsinkable Molly Brown. She was new money, like Sakura's mother called her, but still apart of the "club," as her mother also dubbed the wealthy.

As Sakura stared out at the coast of Ireland, not knowing this might be the last time she ever saw land, her mind wandered to two nights before. Her face turned a rose shade of color, just thinking about it. She closed her eyes, and dimly remembered how his soft lips felt on hers. She didn't know why she did it, she kissed him on impulse. And, it felt so. . . GOOD, and right. Sakura shook her head. She was starting to sound like a love sick puppy, and she hasn't spoken to Syaoran since.

"Sakura, darling?" She felt a hand on her back. Sakura turned around in surprise. "Come darling, let's go down to the Dinning Saloon, and have us some breakfast."

She smiled her normal smile. "Yes, father."

~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Later that evening, Sakura followed behind her parents, as they, and her, slowly walked down the grand staircase. Her brother refused to come today, because Sakura's mother had refused him to meet with the female he had escorted to dinner two nights ago. She wasn't rich enough, is what their mother had said.

Today, Sakura was wearing a red, silk dress. A rather plain dress in a way, but still quite elegant. The dress looked like a modern day t-shirt, except that it had low neckline. The top of the dress hugged her curves, right down to the hips, and then it flowed out. It separated in the front, showing off Sakura's long beautiful legs. Her hair was tied up in a bun, held in by a diamond-head piece. Around her neck, she had a diamond and ruby necklace, with a matching bracelet, and earrings.

"Simply beautiful, as usual."

Sakura turned in surprise, and gasped. A rosy blush appeared on her lovely face. "Oh, Syaoran," Syaoran smiled his gorgeous smile, and held out his arm. Sakura took it, and smiled at him. "Thank-you for escorting me, again."

They walked, and sat down at the same table they sat at on Wednesday, and they were still sitting with Sakura's parents. "Ah! Mr. Li, good for you for joining us."

Syaoran smiled and nodded at Sakura's father. Her mother was a different story. She gave him a rightful, up and down stare. Sakura rolled her eyes and whispered to him. "Don't worry about her. She's giving you that stare, making sure you have a lot of money. She wants to make sure you're good enough for me, seeing as this is the second time you escorted me."

He laughed and winked at her. "I have more money than you know." He had a thoughtful look in his face for a moment. "Am I good enough for you?"

Sakura blushed a deep red color, and didn't say any thing.

"So Syaoran," Sakura's mother brought their attention to her. "How are you rich?"

Sakura gave her a look and Syaoran smiled. "In many ways Mam. I inherited a large amount when my father died. I also own one of the largest companies in Asia, and America."

Sakura and her parents were shocked to learn this. "You own, Li Corp?" Sakura's father asked.

Syaoran chuckled. "Yes sir, Li Corporations."

Fujitaka looked confused. "But, Li Corp. is owned by Xiaolang Li. That's not you."

Again, Syaoran chuckled. "Actually, it is. Xiaolang is my real name. It was also my father's, that's why I go by Syaoran. They both mean the same thing, only in different languages."

Sakura's mother look impressed. "Well, Well, Well. . . You certainly are rich." She gave a small smile. "I hope you and my daughter, really, of how should I say it? Hit it off."

Sakura's face went beat red, and Syaoran simply gave a small smile.

"Why, thank you Mam. I hope we will."

~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"Sakura, may I escort you back to your room?" It was after dinner, and Syaoran and Sakura were ready to leave.

"Oh Yes," She smiled at him, and took his offered arm. "I'll see you back in the room." Sakura told her parents, and the couple left. Her mother smiled after them.

"Syaoran. . ." Sakura stated looking down; they were walking on the deck towards the cabins. "We need to talk about Wednesday night."

"Indeed we do, my lovely." They stopped, and they both leaned against the rails, looking out at the clear night sky.

Sakura smiled softly. "That kiss was. . ."

"The best." Syaoran interrupted her. "I've never felt anything like it." He looked at her. "It felt so right, complete, and. . . amazing."

Sakura blushed. "Yeah, I thought so too." Syaoran smiled at her, and lent in for a kiss.

"WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING?!?!?!?"

Sakura and Syaoran turned in surprise. "Touya?" Sakura questioned softly.

Touya walked towards them, and shoved Syaoran back. "GET THE HELL AWAY FROM MY SISTER!" He yelled. He stood between Sakura and Syaoran, looking like he was ready to deck Syaoran if he moved or spoke. Both of the boys glared at each other.

Sakura moved, and placed herself between the two. "Touya leave him alone!" She placed her hands on her hips.

"Sakura, this guy was about to kiss you!" He stated angry glaring at her, and Syaoran who stood behind her.

"So? It's up to me if he can kiss me or not, and I was going to let him!" Touya and Syaoran looked surprised. "Now, go back to the cabin, I'll be right there."

Touya glared at her and left mumbling, "If he hurts you, he dies. . ."

"Uh. . . Yeah. . ." Syaoran stated after a moment of silence. "Was that true?"

Sakura looked at him in surprise. "What was what true?" She looked thoughtful for a second. "That my brother would kill you, if you hurt me?" She tried to hold her smile back.

Syaoran chuckled. "That, and," He looked at her. "That you would have let me kiss you. Was that true?"

"Oh." Sakura blushed. She walked up to him and gave him a kiss. "Does that answer your question?" She smiled at him, and walked away.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Sakura stood in the library of the Titanic's first class, looking through some of the many books. Today was Saturday, April 11, 1912; the fourth day of Titanic's maiden voyage. She saw one book in-titled, Futility. Her best-friend Tomoyo, had read this book back in England. She said it was a very good book.

Sakura stood on her tip-toes, trying to reach it. To her surprise, some grabbed it for her. Se turned around to see who had done this. "Syaoran!" She smiled at him, and took the book he offered her. "Thank-you very much, my kind sir."

"Not a problem, my lovely lady." Syaoran smiled at her. They both started walking towards the checkout center. "I've read that book. It's about a giant ship, like the Titanic, on its maiden voyage, and it strikes an iceberg, and sinks. Everyone thought that the ship, Titan, was unsinkable. Most of the two thousand passengers on board perished."

Sakura looked up at him in surprise. "Do you think that would happen to the Titanic?" She had a little fear in her voice.

Syaoran smiled at her and took her hand. "I doubt it." He kissed her gently on the forehead. Feeling a little reassured, she went and took the book out. They both left together.

"Oh look! A gift shop!" Sakura looked surprised. "Want to go in?"

"Sure."

Syaoran and Sakura walked out of a gift shop a couple of minutes later. Sakura had bought a silk scarf, while Syaoran had bought a silver whistle, and a small pocket knife.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Sakura sat with her mother and a few other ladies, including Molly, drinking tea. This was the fifth day of Titanic's maiden voyage, meaning it was Sunday, April 14th. They had just finished the Sunday service, and now the women have retired to the Dining Saloon for tea. It seemed like every women from first class was in the saloon. Sakura was just sitting there, staring off at nothing, not paying attention to what the ladies were saying. Her mind was on other things, not like the women who were talking about money, and marring their daughters off.

Sakura just sat there; just like she did every other day they spent on the Titanic. She had her hair back in a curly ponytail, and she was wearing a lavender dress, and a lavender coat. The next thing she knew, her mother starting talking about her. Saying how she was going to marry Sakura off, to some rich fellow so they could become even richer. Sakura paid no attention to them, her mother always talks about marring her off. But if she had listened, she would have heard that she wanted to marry Sakura off to Syaoran.

She had already tried marring her off, to some old rich guy. It of course didn't work. The man had been very abuse of to her. He demanded that she obeyed only him, honored him, and do as he said. Sakura had tried to tell her mother, but she only said that this marriage was for money, not love. She was supposed to live it, like nothing mattered. Luckily for Sakura, he died a week before the wedding.

She was looking around her saloon, and her eyes came upon a mother and her young daughter. It seemed like she was teaching the little girl, around five years old, how to act like a lady. Sakura couldn't help but stare. 'Poor girl.' Sakura thought silently. 'Learning to act like nothing matters, a doormat to men, and like men ruled us.'

"Well ladies thank-you for you company over tea. Come Sakura, let's go for a walk." Sakura's mother stated. They both rose from the comfy seats, and walked away, out of the door.

They walked out onto the A deck, right into a nice clear, cool day. "Ah, Mrs. Kinomoto, Miss Kinomoto!" Sakura looked up in surprise. There was a man by the name of Andrews running up to them. He was the maker of the Titanic. He alone designed the Titanic, inside and out. Sakura had met him on the Olympic, Titanic's sister ship. His hair was a little greyer then the last time Sakura had seen him, but she still remembered him.

"Mr. Andrews! Good to see you!" Sakura called to him. Her mother smiled and waved her hand towards him. He had money, and lots of it. That's probably why she smiled at him. She would look at anyone less-wealthy than them, as if they were bugs, that needed to be squashed quickly. He stood right in front of them, took Sakura's hand and gently kissed it. He did the same to her mother.

"Yes, it's good to see you two again too." He smiled slightly.

"You have a wonderful ship here, Mr. Andrews." Sakura's mother stated, pushing a strand of her hair out of her face that fell out of her bun. She seemed quiet taken by him.

"Thank-you Mam, I thought so myself." His smile grew. "Would you two lovely ladies like a tour of it?"

"Oh, yes please, sir." Sakura stated happily. Her mother agreed too.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Syaoran walked slowly down the starboard part of the ship. The ship had a lot of things to offer first class passengers, but nothing seemed to interest him. His mind was somewhere else. His mind was with another first class passenger. Sakura Kinomoto. There was something about her. . . And he didn't know what it was. But whatever it was, he liked it. No, he didn't like it, he loved it.

His head shot up when he heard a laugh. He knew that laugh. It was hers. . . Syaoran's amber eyes focused in on two females and a male, walking just a head of him. The two females were Sakura, and her mother, but he didn't know the man. He couldn't help but feel a little jealous. He walked a bit faster to catch up with them. Syaoran was about to call out to them when Sakura asked a question.

"Mr. Andrews, I've been doing these numbers up in my head, and I couldn't help but notice that there are not enough lifeboats for everyone on board this ship. . ." Sakura's green eyes were focused in on him accusingly.

"Just enough for about half actually. When I designed this ship, I had another row of life boats, but Mr. Ismay said it would make the boat look too cluttered, so we took them out." He stated softly.

"And it still does look cluttered." Sakura's mother said. She started to laugh at her own joke. Sakura and Mr. Andrews didn't think kindly of this.

Sakura shot her mother a look. She was about to say something when Mr. Andrews interrupted her. He put his hand on her shoulder, and squeezed it in reassurance, "Don't worry my dear Sakura. I have built this ship strong and unsinkable. There will be no need for them. Now, if you follow me. . ." He starting walking away, followed by Sakura's mother. Sakura herself, was about to follow when someone grabbed her arm.

"Sakura," he whispered. He had a hold on her arm, and he was looking straight into her eyes. Before she could say anything, he pulled her away.

"Syaoran!" He pulled her into a long narrow corridor area. "What do you think you're doing?" She whispered looking at him, as if he was mad. She leaned back against the wall. Sakura looked him over. He looked good, even if he wasn't that dressed up, like she usually saw him. He was wearing black pants, a white shirt, and a long black jacket. She could feel her heart start to beat faster.

"I wanted to see you again." He looked at her mischievously, putting his forehead against hers.

"Well you could have just come up to me, not pull me in here." Her breath was quickening. She put her hand behind his head, loving the way he was doing this to her.

"But, my dear Sakura, I wanted to see you alone. . ." He pulled her into him, and gave her a kiss.

Sakura hesitated for a moment, then pulled back from the kiss, not that she wanted too. "Syaoran, I have to go or my mother will start looking for me, she'll then forbid me from seeing you."

Syaoran looked hurt for a second, but didn't argue. He then gave her a half smile. "Alright then. Meet me at the bow of the ship, at sun down." Syaoran gave her a quick peck on the lips, and left before she could answer. Sakura could only stare after him. She brought her hand up to her lips, with a rosy blush forming on her cheeks. Finally she turned and went looking for her mother.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Sakura went back to her cabin and leaned against the wall. She slid down the wall and sat there. The last couple of days she couldn't stop thinking about Syaoran. Now whenever they were together again, her heart started to beat painfully. Was she falling for him? Or was it just a fling? Sakura closed her eyes, and his face floated in her mind. She cried out and put her head in her hands. Sakura was gasping for breath. 'What's happening to me?' She thought desperately. Was she. . . No, she couldn't fall in love, Could she?

~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Syaoran leaned against the railing of the bow of the ship. His foot rested up on one of the railings, and his arms lay crossed on the top railing. The wind ruffled gently through his chocolate brown hair, making it even more unruly than it usually was. He was watching the water and a pair of dolphins that were swimming in front of the ship.

"Syaoran?" He looked up in surprise. He turned around to come face to face with a beautiful Sakura. She still had her hair pulled back in a curly pony tail, but she was now wearing a pink dress, that was tight on top, loose on the bottom. Around the middle of the dress was a dark pink belt like thing. Syaoran smiled at her, and put out his hand. Sakura smiled back, and placed her small hand in his large one. Syaoran clasped their hands together, and pulled her up to him. Putting her in front of him, he put his hands around her tiny waist. Sakura closed her hands on his, and leaned back on him. Even though they just met, Sakura knew she loved him. She knew the moment they met. "Syaoran?" Syaoran looked down at her, but didn't say anything. Sakura turned around and faced him. He kept his arms wrapped around her waist. She put her hands against his chest. "When Titanic docks in New York, I'm getting of the ship with you."

Syaoran's eyes went wide. He smiled at her, and crushed her close to him. "Oh, what did I do to deserve you?" He kissed the top of her head. Sakura sighed in pleasure. She leaned her head against his well built chest. He looked down at her, and tilted her head up to him. He leant down, and their lips met in a sweet kiss. Sakura took her hand from his chest, and took a hold of his jacket. She pulled on the jacket bringing him closer to her. Their little sweet kiss turned into a passionate one.

The sun was setting behind them, and on the ship of dreams. Little did the couple know, in a couple hours, the Titanic will be no more. They will be fighting for their lives, which may just end this very night. The sun will be down in a few minutes. This will be the last time the Titanic will ever again see sun light.
