Chapter One: On The Hill Together

:---------------------------------:

Syaoran

He walked along the busy streets of Tokyo. He now worked as a manager for one of the major food chain Company. Wearing his business suit he hurried off for another day of work. Rushing past everyone he didn't even notice as he bumped into someone. "Gomen," he said softly. He heard an angelic giggle. He looked downwards and saw a young girl with short auburn hair. She looked up, her light blue eyes shining, "It's okay mister. I was in a hurry too." With that said the young girl hurried off.

'Sakura,' was the one word that rang through his head. Syaoran Li, he was now a manager at the young age of 25. He had lost contact with most of his high school friends. Except him and his best friend Eriol would have their occasional phone call.

He quickly dusted off the imaginary lint off his suit and hurried back to the restaurant. He watched as the workers ran around trying to get the orders done. He chuckled at the sight, this reminded him so much of home. Of Chiharu and Rika. They always fooled around, but got the work done. He looked down at his watch and saw that it was still early in the morning. He sat tiredly in his office chair; today was going to be a long day.

When it was time to go home, Syaoran happily ran out leaving the others to close up. He was walking down the street when something at the corner caught his eye. He stopped and looked at his side. And there was a large poster with a picture of a ferret. On the top read, 'New Author Sakura Kinomoto first book "Hontou no Takaramono" get it today.' Syaoran stared at the poster, it was Sakura's book. He smiled at the thought of Sakura finally fulfilling her dream. He quickly entered the bookshop to buy the book.

After buying the book he quickly started to read it. Once he read the dedication he froze in his steps. Maybe it was time to go back. Just to visit. He went back in the store and asked the woman who worked there when the book had been released. She told him it was just released today. So, that's when Syaoran decided, he was going back to Tomoeda first thing in the morning.

Tomoyo

Tomoyo stood in the airport at England waiting for her plane to arrive so she could head off to Hong Kong for a few days. After traveling, she had decided, she loved to travel and was still trying to fly around the world. Hong Kong was her last stop before she was finished. She went over to duty free to look for a good book to read when something caught her eye. It was a new release and already it was getting good feedback.

She noticed it was in the children's book section and immediately thought of Sakura. After she had visited Sakura one last time that was when she left. The only person she kept in touch with at Tomoeda was Miaka. Her and Miaka had made up after the whole problem past. And now Tomoyo was Miaka's idol for swimming.

Tomoyo walked over to the book, thinking of getting it as a gift for Sakura. She stopped when she read the author, Sakura Kinomoto. This was her book. Tomoyo quickly rushed to buy it, wanting to read her book. She sat down in one of the chair provided by the airport and read the first few pages.

When she read the dedication she decided she would have to finish traveling around the world some other time. There were just some things that were more important. She quickly rushed back to the front to book another flight. This time to Tomoeda.

Eriol

Over two years have past since all four friends have seen each other. During that time the now 25-year-old Eriol had finished college and is currently steadily dating a girl. Her name is Momo; which means peach. She has curly long orange red hair, and the softest blue eyes. They have been dating for basically two years now.

Eriol worked as a doctor. Although he is still trying to become as good as his peers. One day during work he received a page from Momo. Momo also worked there, but instead as a nurse. The page told him to call her back ASAP. So right when he was finished with the patient he left the room and headed to his office where he called his girlfriend. "Momo, what is it?" Eriol asked. "Oh! Nothing, I wanted to know if you wanted to go and eat lunch together!" Momo said happily. Eriol looked at his watch, just 10 more minutes until it was his lunch break. "Sure why not?" he said, "Where to?"

There was silence on the line before Momo happily replied, "How about something Chinese?" Eriol chuckled, "Okay I'll meet you in my office in 5 minutes than?" This time Momo started giggling, "I'm already here silly!" And right when she said that the door opened and Momo walked in. Eriol stood up and gave her a sweet kiss on the lips, "Shall we get going?" Momo nodded as Eriol wrapped an arm around her slim waist.

While walking to the restaurant nearby, Momo suddenly stopped in front of a shop. "What are you looking at?" Eriol asked his girlfriend. "What's your friends name again?" she asks ignoring his question. "Which one?" Eriol wonders. "Um…that girl…who writes books?" Momo asked getting irritated. "Kinomoto Sakura," Eriol said. "Look there's her book than!" Momo exclaimed happily showing Eriol the poster she had been staring at.

Sure enough Eriol saw the poster. It was Sakura's first book. "I think I'm going to buy it," Eriol said and entered the shop. Momo frowned at him walking away, but than a smile broke out, although Eriol seemed like the kind of guy who didn't care about his friends, he still cared for each and every one of them. "Wait for me!" Momo exclaimed trying to catch up to his disappearing figure.

When the two read the dedication Momo glanced over at Eriol, "So?" she asked him. "So what?" Eriol asked densely. Momo hit him lightly on the arm, "Are you going to go?" Eriol shrugged, "Not today, I'll see if she's there in the morning." Momo smiled sweetly, "Okay, I'll tell everyone you're sick." Eriol chuckled, "Thanks Momo." Momo looked up at him, "No problem," and gave him a small kiss on the lips, "now let's go to dinner, I'm hungry!" Eriol chuckled at her cuteness, "Okay let's go."

Next Day

Sakura woke up early in the morning. Glancing over at her clock she realized it was still early in the morning. Deciding to get up early she dressed in a light pink sun dress. She let her hair down, flowing nicely around her. Deciding on just a touch of make up she was all set to go. She slowly walked up the hill to where they used to all hang out, just the four of them. Seeing no one else there she sat down leaning on the tree. She smiled softly as the wind blew the cherry blossom leaves all around her. She watched as the sun fully set and smiled at the sight. Although no one was here, she couldn't deny the fact that the sight was absolutely beautiful.

:------------------------:

Syaoran glanced down at his watch; he had started driving down to Tomoeda early in the morning and still had a few hours before he would be arriving. He glanced over at the book in the seat beside him; it was the book that convinced him to come back. He wasn't sure if this was a good idea or not, but it was too late to change his mind now.

:------------------------:

Tomoyo sat in the hotel wondering if she should really go back there. The memories of the past came rushing at her. She had received an email awhile back from Miaka, and indeed Sakura was going to see if they could all meet there today. Tomoyo took another glance at the book, it was now or never.

:-----------------------:

Eriol drove in his car with Momo right beside him. "Aren't you supposed to be there already?" Momo asked crossing her arms acting like she was mad. "But I wanted to spend time with you first. Who knows what's going to happen if we all see each other." Momo smiled, "Okay," she leaned over and gave him a kiss on the cheek, "You better call me though." Eriol nodded, "Of course." Momo smiled again, "So…did you like any of them?" Eriol blushed at the question, "Oh look, we're here."

:------------------------:

Syaoran slowly walked up the hill, his heart pumping in his chest, this was it. He noticed her hair floating with the wind. How her figure looked angelic as the sun shined down on her small frame. She had gained a little weight since he had last seen her. Her emerald eyes still seemed to sparkle with the happiness. Her hair, still a light auburn colour and her figure was perfect. He slowly walked closer, "Sakura…" he mumbled softly.

The woman's head turned slowly, the first thing she noticed was his fiery chocolate eyes, and than that messy chestnut brown hair. "Syaoran-kun," Sakura said softly as she slowly got up. It looked like the cherry blossoms were floating all around her. "I read your book," Syaoran said while holding it up for her to see. Sakura smiled, "That's why you came?" Syaoran nodded and walked up until he was right beside her, "I missed you." Sakura smiled, "Me too, I missed everyone."

Syaoran nodded as he sat down, "Remember the first time we were here together?" Sakura giggled, "Yeah, I was so nervous back than." Syaoran nodded, "Yeah, but really cute." Sakura blushed at that comment, "I'm really glad you came. I was scared no one would come." Syaoran looked over at her, "I'm sure everyone will come." Sakura nodded her head, "I hope so."

:------------------------:

Tomoyo had met with Eriol at the bottom of the hill. "Eriol…" Tomoyo said softly. Eriol just nodded at her. "How have you been?" Tomoyo asked as she slowly walked up the hill with him by her side. "All right," was his stiff reply. Tomoyo sighed deeply, "How has Sakura been?" "Good enough to write a book," he said while holding his copy up.

Tomoyo nodded holding hers up too, "That's why I'm here." Eriol looked up and stopped Tomoyo from walking towards the tree, "Look at them." Tomoyo glanced up and noticed Sakura and Syaoran laughing at something. Tomoyo smiled sadly, "I guess they got together?" Eriol shook his head, "No, Syaoran left too. To work in Tokyo." Tomoyo nodded her head, "I miss this, us all together." Eriol smiled, "Yeah me too." The two slowly walked towards the others.

:--------------------------:

Sakura noticed some movements and turned around. "Tomoyo, Eriol!" she squealed and jumped up giving Tomoyo a hug. Syaoran also stood up and gave Eriol a hug, "How have you been?" After the hellos everyone sat down around the tree.

"It's been so long," Sakura sat softly as she caught a cherry blossom in her hand. Eriol nodded, "Why did you guys have to leave?" Tomoyo shrugged her shoulders, "Just needed some time to myself." Syaoran nodded in agreement, "So what have you guys been up to these past two years?" Sakura smiled, "Well, you guys all know I just published my first book!" "I'm a doctor now," Eriol said, "and I'm dating this girl named Momo."

"Aww! Why didn't you bring her?" Sakura interrupted Tomoyo from talking, "She's such a sweetie." Eriol chuckled, "She didn't want to interrupt our reunion." Tomoyo nodded in understanding, "Well I almost finished traveling all around the world." "How was that?" Syaoran asked her. Tomoyo smiled, "It was fantastic! I got to see so many new and different things. How about you Syaoran?" Syaoran just shrugged his shoulders, "Manager for this restaurant in Tokyo."

Sakura smiled, "I guess we all grew up." Eriol nodded, "I'm happy, for all of you." Tomoyo nodded, "You know what we should have lunch together, just like old times." Syaoran stood up, "I'm up to it." Sakura squealed and jumped up, "Okay!" "Matte!" Eriol called out when his pager started beeping. He looked at it and than blushed embarrassedly, "Gomen, Momo wants me to call her back." "Oh, let's invite her!" Sakura exclaimed, "And I'll invited Miaka too. She wants to see you again so badly Tomoyo, before she leaves tonight for Tokyo." Tomoyo nodded, "Okay, why not?"

:-----------------------------:

"Wow I can't believe you guys actually all got together," Miaka said looking up as the four walked into the restaurant. Sakura giggled, "Honestly I was just as surprised, I didn't think all of you guys would come." Tomoyo grinned, "I wouldn't miss it for the world," and she got up to give Sakura a hug. "Hey you guys, the moonlight festival is tonight, how about we all go together?" Eriol suggested. Sakura had to smile at the idea, "Yeah! How about it you two? Just like when we were in school."

Syaoran shrugged, "I don't see why not." Tomoyo just nodded her head as someone walked towards their table, "Eriol!" Eriol turned around and jumped into the girl's arms, "Momo!" The two started giggling when Momo finally noticed everyone else, "Gomen, my name's Momo." Sakura smiled and stood up, "This is Syaoran and Tomoyo." Momo smiled happily, "Eriol has told me so much about you guys."

"All good things I hope," Syaoran commented eyeing the lady carefully. Momo nodded her head, "Only the best." Miaka smiled at their newfound happiness, "I can't make it to the festival with you guys this year, my plane leaves at nine." Sakura started pouting, "Aww…okay do you want me to come with?" Miaka giggled, "No thanks onee-chan, you should spend time with onii-chan again," she said giving her sister a wink. Sakura blushed and looked away. While Syaoran looked at her in surprise. Did she still have feelings for him?

After that day so many years ago Syaoran had regretted not telling her that maybe they could make it work, with some time and space. That was why he never came back before this, he was scared she wouldn't share the same feelings as him, but what about now?

"Okay, well Momo and I probably should back to work, so I'll meet you guys tonight," Eriol said standing up. Syaoran nodded, "Okay, bye." Tomoyo stood up, "I'm happy for you Eriol." Eriol nodded and walked away. "So is there anywhere you guys want to go?" Sakura asked looking at her two friends. Tomoyo smiled, "I think I'll go visit my old boss, than watch you practice, is that okay Mia?" Miaka nodded her head, "Yeah! I would love that." "How about you Syaoran?" Sakura asked looking at him hopefully.

"I'm going to visit Terada. I haven't heard from him in a long time." Syaoran said. Sakura nodded her head, "Mind if I tag along?" Syaoran was surprised but quickly hid it, "Nope" Sakura smiled happily, "Great so we'll all meet back later okay?" "Okay!" the other three cheered.
