Chapter One

The Key of our Memory

"…Syaoran?"

The ten year old boy rolled over onto his side so that he could face the pretty green-eyed girl.

"Hmmm?"

The girl smiled shyly and blushed at the clear blue sky, the sun rays illuminating her pretty blonde-brown hair.

"Can…you call me Meiling from now on?"

The boy's dark eyes clouded over for a moment, "Why's that Sakura?"

Sakura shut her eyes and smiled sincerely at the fluffy clouds, "I just…love that name…it's so pretty…"

"Humph, as if Sakura! Your name right now is a LOT nicer that Meiling."

"Oh…is that so…?" Sakura's kind eyes turned sorrowful, "I see…thank you anyways."

Suddenly Syaoran smacked himself on the forehead and rolled over to Sakura.

Smiling kindly he wiped away a falling tear from Sakura's cheek, "I forgot Sakura-oops, I mean Meiling. Your mom…her middle name was…"

Sakura laughed and rolled over so that her green eyes were at even with the dark pair, "You…remembered…Syaoran…thank you."

Blushing hard, Syaoran looked up at the sky, "How could I forget…it is your mom after all."

Sighing, Sakura also faced the sky, "Yeah…no one could ever forget a mom like her…or a dad like yours…"

And then Sakura stood up, grabbed Syaoran's hand and led him down the hill to a shady tree.

Syaoran blinked rapidly, trying hard to keep the tears in. Dad…

Then Sakura stopped, her small figure trembling. Letting go of his hand, she reached out behind the tree and took something out.

It was a locket. A small oval gold locket.

Sakura slowly turned around to face Syaoran.

Wiping away tears, Sakura put the necklace on him. And then she opened it. Inside was a picture of the two, caught, smiling and laughing.

Putting her head to one side, away from him she quietly said, "Today…was the day of the accident…right? Your father's…accident…"

The picture began to get blurry under his eyes and he whispered, "Yeah…"

Sakura's head dropped, her own eyes tearing up, "I can't remember his face…or mom's…So I want you to promise thatwhenwe part…that you won't ever forget me…"

Syaoran suddenly looked up, and slowly he stood up. Then he flung his arms around her and began to cry out loud. Shocked, Sakura stared, but then she began to relax and put her own arms comfortingly around him.

"Shhh…its okay Syaoran…its okay…"

Sobbing hard, Syaoran said, "I-I…won't ever…forget!"

Sakura smiled sadly, "I know…maybe…"

Finally the two parted from each other. Grinning, and wiping away tears, Sakura held up a silver key.

"What's that?"

"Oh…," Sakura laughed, "…a key."

Syaoran tried to frown but ended up smiling, "I know that much, but for what?"

"For our memories. That locket isn't going to open it once it shuts and the only thing to open it again is this key."

"Oh darn," muttered Syaoran, he had just shut the locket a minute before.

Sakura laughed, "When you come back from Hong Kong, I'll open the locket for you. Until then, keep the necklace on…okay?"

"'Kay."

"But…,"Sakura's smile faded away, "You will come back though…right? From Hong Kong…"

"Yeah," Syaoran smiled, "I promise."

Sakura smiled back, relieved, "Good…now let's go inside, our parents are probably worried."

"Alright…"

Closing his eyes Syaoran inhaled, "But…it's going to be six years…"

Sakura froze, "…What?"

"I'm…coming back in six years."

-:At the Airport:-

Sakura stared numbly at the airport sign that read "Hong Kong".

"Sakura…"

She turned around to see Syaoran dressed handsomely in a suit.

"Syaoran…"

He blushed and turned his head away, looking at the ground.

"Ummm…bye…Sakura."

"Yeah," whispered Sakura, "Bye…"

Tears running down her cheeks, Sakura turned away from him and walked away.

Still staring down at the ground, Syaoran felt sudden anger flow up inside him…no, courage.

"Syaoran, it's time to go!" yelled his mother.

But by then he was racing up to Sakura. He grabbed her and turned her around and kissed her cheek.

"Six years aren't so bad Sakura, when I come back, we'll have the rest of our lives to see each other... Here, for you."

And then he slipped on a silver band with a pink crystal sakura petal on her engagement finger.

"Wait for me Sakura, when I come back, we'll be married."

Blushing hard Sakura stared at him, and then Syaoran turned back to go to his mother when…

"My name's not Sakura remember? It's Meiling!" hollered Sakura, "And…and you don't go cheating on me either!"

Syaoran laughed and waved.

"Wow", laughed Mr. Kinomoto, "They're quite mature for their age aren't they?"

"Yes", agreed Syaoran's mother, laughing, "They are."

Author's Note: haha! Yes, I know you probably don't like it but please do! lol, that doesn't make sense O.o The first chapter was very rushed and I'm pretty sure your probably all, "Wow, they're proclaiming love at the age of ten...shoudn't they be running away from each other and scream, 'ewww, cooties!'?"
