Most of the time Sakura will be talking! So Read/Review!

Chapter one: Love Triangle

True as I thought I think the legend became true… That was the night I knew nothing would be the same again…nothing…

"Suki!" I yelled breathless from running all that way. I may have been the pretty and talented one but Suki was definitely more athletic than I was!

"Why did you follow me again Sakura?" She whispered.

I watched her settle down next to the water and touch the water letting the droplets make ripples sending her feeling to the water. I sat next to her…

"Suki…It'll be okay…Okaa-san…she's just been so stressed with the both of us since Otou-san…"

"I know" Suki whispered. I glanced up and leaned my head against hers. Her tears fell into the water creating ripples to farther places. Okaa-san and Suki had taken Grandpa and Otou-san death the hardest. I had found enough faith to keep on moving like Grandpa told me I could before he died. So that's what I did…I'm just so sorry I couldn't extend that strength to the only other two I had in my life to call my family…

Holding Suki tight as she sobbed I noticed how both of us looked so alike yet acted so differently at times… Suki stared at the water surface with me and I saw the same emerald eyes stare back at me and I gently smiled to meet her little one that formed as well.

"You're so silly!" Suki declared and pushed me lightly on my forehead. It was an endearment I always received from her when I cheered her up. There were many times like this one where she'd get in trouble and we'd both sit here to watch the sun sink past the trees then slowly make our way home through the back door.

Tonight however…we sat there a tiny bit longer playing with the fireflies.

"Suki…" I finally said "ready to go?"

"Yea" She answered wishfully.

We both took one more look into the calm water and it was then that the image caught our eye…we were mesmerized by those amber eyes staring back at our reflection and the tiny smile that touched his face when he too met our eyes.

It was like a dream…I'm not sure how long I stood there with Suki and stared at the image but it surely snapped us out of the trance when a leaf fell on the reflection and rippled the waves, disturbing the image.

It was then that I saw the boy behind us a tiny smile played around the corners of his mouth as he extended a hand towards Suki and me.

Perhaps it was the tale that led me to believe I wanted him…or maybe it was just fate to bring me to such a fate…either way I knew one thing was true… my heart had never beat harder in my life…I felt the sensation as soon as he placed his hand in Mine after Suki's.

"Konnichi wa" He said in broken Japanese.

I wouldn't have said anything about his accent but Like Suki she burst out laughing and said, "You suck at Japanese huh?"

If there was someplace to hide I would've. Suki had been known to say whatever came out of her mouth… and this was one of those times… I reddened.

"It's all right," he said getting my drift. "I'm Chinese. My name is Syaoron Li, you two are?"

"Suki and Sakura Kinomoto" Suki said proudly.

All I did was nod in agreement. Something about his eyes when it was upon me…I couldn't bring myself to talk straight with him like every other guy I've met, whether they were my Mother's boyfriend or my sisters.

"So you live here?" he asked

"Yeah!" I answered. I wanted him from that instant on.

All he did was laugh and said he thought I was the quiet one.

Through that whole time I was always kind of left out of what he and Suki sometimes did, but every time I looked at him I couldn't get over his eyes and I knew and prayed to grandpa hoping…Thinking…he's that one…I saw his reflection, but I didn't think that it applied to the person standing next to me to…

Those were the best summer of our lives as we became eighteen in 12 years time I had constantly told Suki how much I loved the Amber –eyed boy we played with. She never answered me straight so I never knew what went on but she always smiled a little and did other things while I gushed on and on about him.. I always thought I was just annoying to her so I learned to shut it more around Suki. But even if I was busy Graduating as top of my class (for Syao) and getting into a nearby college fully paid I was never happy when Suki went to his house to get tutored. Those were times I wished I needed tutoring, but I didn't and when Syaoron did stop by he always made sure he smiled and say hey to me. He told me he was proud of me graduating top of the class of the girls. He even told me one day he'd challenge me! Since he was graduating top class for boys he wanted to rival me. I couldn't wait to test out my skills against his.

Perhaps that's why I lost sight of him and didn't know…perhaps that's the reason I never knew I was with an illus ional dream.

Even if we were only teenagers now, he always seemed more interested in Suki and I tried to change for him…so I could be with him. I tried to be helpful but he always came for Suki. I tried to talk act more like Suki, tried every trick to be more appealing…it didn't work. I knew it was hopeless though, I'd always be my self and no other and that proved right when I saw what Suki and he did when I wasn't around…

It was that night… The day of Suki and my 18th birthday when I found out what they really had going on. The whole damn picture I missed.

……………………………………………………………………………………….......

"Suki!" I ran to the lake. I smiled when I saw her there near the shadow. She'd run off before cutting the cake with me and I had to get her since it was half b-day half graduation party! We were going to college now! And I knew for a fact that Syaoron was going to the same college as me!

Yay!

Although Suki hadn't decided yet I knew she'd come with us…That was how I dreamed up our future. Her, him, and me I never even realized they had already gone ahead and left me in the dark.

As I approached I finally noticed the water illuminated another figure. The man I liked… he stood there and they were talking I could tell but I didn't know of what.

With a tiny smile on my face I had decided to tell Syaoron that I was in love with him tonight. Hoping of course, that he'd felt the same!

I wanted to jump out and surprise them to I crept up behind them. I wanted to grab him around the waist and smile into my sister's face and scold them for running away in the middle of the party.

But nothing prepared me to see Syaoron the man I loved lean down and capture Suki's lips softly. I stood in shock, frozen. I didn't…couldn't, wouldn't…believe this was happening. Syaoron just didn't lean down and do that… I watched Suki snake her arms around him and he deepened the kiss as well.

I swallowed a cry down as I heard the next words. The words that would rip my heart out and leave me very broken…

"Suki…will you marry me?" he asked

I couldn't help it. I ran. I didn't care if they heard me, all I cared about was how much it hurt to see the man I like to be going after the one person I told for 12 years how much I liked him. I felt betrayed, stabbed, ignored… everything but happy.

I graduated top of the class, turned beautiful to many, and still…I was nothing…to him…Nothing at that moment mattered anymore.

My dreams, my life shattered and all I was left with was an empty shell.

He shattered and so did Suki in my life. For the first time in my life…I felt venerable as Suki always did…the left out one, the lost one, and I finally realized this feeling was not something I wanted to live with. So I broke away. I changed my life at that instant.

I smiled as they came back and even congratulated them when they announced the engagement on that very day.

I couldn't very well lash out in front of all those people at them. Nor could I not forget her staring at him and his amber eyes only on hers.

I couldn't believe they weren't on me but I accepted it! Just as I accepted the fact I wanted to go away for college and settled in Taiwan instead of Tokyo as they did.

I needed to break away from the hurtful past and not even his sweet amber eyes could make me forget the knife he embedded in me.

I'd leave…
