For those who reviewed, ARIGATOU GOZAIMASHITA! I figured I would keep this story fresh with frequent updates since each chapter plotlines are so easy and short, unlike my other story. But if u have time, please check out my other story "Turning Life Around". I know it's long but it makes me so happy to hear that its unlike any fanfic u've ever read. That's what I aim to do. With unexpected plots and shocks. Hehehe! So prepare to be surprised. But I don't intend to twist the couplings. Things are right the way they r. Most of u can agree with me on that. Now on with the story. -

Chapter 2: "Don't Go!"

The Next Day, 5pm, Syaoran's Usual Spot

"Where is she?" "She's two minutes late." Syaoran sulked.

Behind him, the girl actually showed up on time but stayed quiet sneaking up on him.

"Boo!" she screamed giggling afterwards.

Syaoran jumped and turned around only to see the girl's smiling right in front of him. His anger quickly dissolved and went back to blushing at her cute little face.

"Are you okay?" "Your face is red." giving him a worried look.

Syaoran shook his head." I-It's nothing." "But why were you late today?"

"I wasn't late." she pouted. "I actually came here on time." "But I saw you from behind the bush cutely looking for something.."

"C-cc-cu-cutely?" he thought now blushing ten times more.

"And so I couldn't resist from scaring you." finishing off with one of her mega smiles.

"And…" she added.

"And?" Syaoran curiously asked.

She shyly averted her eyes from him playing with her fingers. "…I got you something." "Close your eyes."

Syaoran eyes widened. He didn't know why she wanted him to do that.

"Could it be-- -tt-that she wants to-?" he thought.

Syaoran's Mind

Syaoran closed his eyes just like the girl said to. Slowly she leaned in puckering her lips towards his, only to be a few centimeters away from his.

Back to Reality

Syaoran eyes stayed widened, stuttering and blushing wildly. The girl was having a hard time understanding what was coming out of his mouth.

"Mou, your face is red again. Are you sure you're okay, Syaoran?"

"Uh- yeah! I'm sorry about that. I'll close my eyes now."

"Good to hear." she perked.

Syaoran's heart was beating faster and faster. Anxiety was driven all over him.

"my first kiss…" he thought eagerly waiting for the impact on his lips.

"Here."

Unexpectedly nothing touched his lips but felt something light around his neck. He looked down to see a necklace with a rich emerald marble gem.

"This is..?" he gently picked up to get a good view.

"Why are you giving this to me?" Syaoran asked.

"It's a present." "From me to you, Syaoran. As friends." she said with all her heart.

(Just to point things out, she only sees him as a friend. But Syaoran sees her beyond that level not knowing the full meaning of love yet. Yes. Love.)

He could tell that the necklace wasn't something she could easily afford from the looks of how dressed.

"I hope you like it. I really had a hard time thinking of what to get you. And if you liked it or not."

Syaoran knew that this was something that she couldn't have easily afford.

"I love it." he replied smiling. Her eyes shimmered in happiness. "But.." "I can't accept this."

She was hurt at his words. Syaoran motioned to take the necklace off but was stopped when she placed her hands on his.

"Keep it." she stubbornly insisted.

"But it must have cost you a lot o- ." Syaoran was cut off from her index finger placed on his lips.

"Don't worry about it." she warmly smiled.

"So, what should we do today?"

"You can tell me what your name is."

"Sure, my name is Sa-" about to finish but was interrupted.

"There she is!" Get over here, all of you!" the guy roared. More of his followers came to his side.

Syaoran took a good look at the three. He could tell that they weren't regular people. From the way they dressed, they were probably guards from the castle.

Syaoran could feel her shaking from fear as she motioned behind him and tightly gripping on his arm. He made up his mind and wouldn't dare leave her side.

"Step aside young'n." their leader stated. "I have no intention of hurting you." "We have orders to take her with us." he said calmly.

He felt her stiffening even more. Now this got him more angry than before.

"I don't know what you guys are planning but she's not going anywhere!" Syaoran growled angrily.

"You leave me no choice." he said with disappointment.

Syaoran got in his fighting stance. The two followers leaped in straight to Syaoran. Syaoran saw an opening but the two planted a diversion as one was keeping Syaoran busy while the other went for the girl.

"No! Let me go!" she cried.

Syaoran lost focus on his previous fight as the guy knocked him to the ground. He saw her helplessly try breaking free from their grasp crying her eyes out.

"Syaoran!" she cried as his name echoed through his ears.

"Let her go!" he furiously charged in ready to land a punch. But one of the followers stepped in knocking Syaoran back.

"Syaoran!No!" she cried out.

"Let us go now."

"Yes, sir."

"No! Let me go! Syaoran is-"

Syaoran struggled to get back on his feet only to see her getting more far away from him. Both desperately try to reach for each other.

"No …" he faintly mumbled. " don't go…." lying on the ground badly bruised with a little blood trickled on his face

Those were his final words he mumbled before he fainted from the pain. The last image he saw of her ever again was her crying and trying to reach for him.

The sun was about to set and Syaoran still lied there still unconcious. Tears trickled from his eyes but his necklace around his neck remained sparkling brightly.

Couple of things you should know before going any further..

This story is basically an attempt at making a the CCS cast in a medieval setting. So the setting of the whole thing is in a local land named Tomoeda. It is a peaceful land where a kingdom resides. And in that kingdom, two high status resides in there. Basically the Li clan is one of them, which is where Syaoran is from. The other family of high status are the people of the royal family which reside in the palace. Not much is known about them because they hardly expose themselves to their village and people. But the Li clan and the royal family are on good terms with each other as the Li family are extremely powerful magicians. But the two allies aren't only on good terms for the defense of the land as they have also been close friends for generations.

And that's about it. I didn't feel like putting it a part of the story since it's better if I had a separate description .

And I know, a lot of fluff and kawaii scenes between the two. And if any of you didn't figure out who the girl is by now, all I can say is….(sighs) u'll just have to wait and find it…

AND PLEASE REVIEW! I'm starting to have doubts if people really like this story and if I should keep it posted.
