The Boy

"Hurry up Sakura!!!" A beautiful woman called out from the car window. She had flowing long hair that reached below her waist, but now she had it tied up in a bun at the back of her head.

"I'm coming Tomoyo...just let me get my violin....HOE?!?!?!?! WHERE DID MY VIOLIN GO??? AHHHHH" A women with bright emerald eyes and auburn hair that was just a little way below her shoulders who was addressed as Sakura screeched as she searched for her precious violin, for it was one of the two most valuable violins in the world, the violin of 'Heaven'. It had been a present her great-grandfather, a lover of music and a collector of unique and grand instruments.

"....Baka I got it for you already since you were so slow, its in the car. Now hurry up would you? We are going to be late for the concert!!!"

"But but but Tomoyo...I still don't get it!! The concert only starts in like about another hour!!! How in the world can we be late for it that way? It's only a 10 minute drive from my house to the concert...and why would we want to be there so early???"

"Sakura...you still don't get it do you? We are going there this early because I need to make sure that you look beautiful and the best, also, I have to set up all those cameras, making sure that they are in the best angle to shoot your fabulous performance, also, I have to get there and get the best seat!!!! Errr....oops....the last part just slipped out I guess....ehehehe...."

Sakura sweet dropped at her best friend and sighed. Shaking her head, she climbed into the car and seated her self in the back. Tomoyo some how always had a way to convince her into doing things that she didn't want to do....like filming that movie for instance, and making her all those revealing clothes to wear in the performances.... Too bad they were best friends and Sakura could never be mad at her best friend for long, or else Tomoyo would be the most hatred person that Sakura ever met.

They stopped in front of Eriol's house to pick him up. Sakura got into the drivers seat, not wanting to disturb this new couple in their mushy chit-chat and so that they could have some fun together without her in the way. She glanced back at Tomoyo in Eriol's arms, her face filled with a dreamy look. A sad smile slowly curled up Sakura's pretty face, for she envied her best friend for having such a good person as Eriol...she herself had gone on tons of dates but not one of them pleased her.... They were just never the right one for her.

'Wolf, I wonder if you still remember me?' she thought silently to herself. 'Its been a long 15 years since I last met you...do you still remember your little cherry blossom?'

Flashback

"Syaoran wait up!!!" A little girl of 5 with short auburn hair and beautiful pure green emerald eyes yelled out to the boy walking in front of her.

"Hurry up Sakura!!! Your always so slow!!" The boy addressed as Syaoran yelled back at the girl. He stopped in his tracks, waiting for the little girl to catch up.

"Syaoran!!" Sakura finally made it, and was panting while pouting.

Syaoran chuckled. He was a year older than her, and was slightly taller also. "Sakura you need to practice running more often...."

"Hai...Syaoran would you practice with me? You can be my coach!!!" The girl pleaded, her green orbs staring straight into his amber ones.

The boy's face darkened, loosing the happy look it had on just now. His eyes were full of sadness. "I would love to Sakura, but...I'm afraid I can't..." He turned away, afraid to look straight into her eyes.

"Why not Syaoran? Am I too whiny or something? I won't whine anymore if you coach me, I promise!!" For a split second, the girl's eyes reflected sadness and also hurt, but it was replaced by the determined look that she usually had.

"No Sakura it's not that......your great, the best student I could ask for." He paused and took a glance at her face, making sure that she was reassured and happy again. "Its just that, my mom...she said that we are going back to Hong Kong the day after tomorrow...So I don't think I would be able to...to do that..." Syaoran finished, his voice very low while he stared at his shoes.

"WHAT?!?! But that means that I would not be able to play with you anymore!!! When are you coming back???" She face fell, looking like a sad yet beautiful angel.

"I...I don't know Sakura...maybe a few month, a few weeks, but then, maybe a couple of years...I..." He finally looked up from his shoes and lifted his head up so that he looked straight into her eyes.

"Syaoran..." Like him, she was lost for words. Tears started to form in her beautiful green eyes and slowly feel to the floor, rolling down her cheek.

Syaoran reached up and brushed away the tears. "Don't cry Sakura, please don't cry, I promise that I would come back one day, whatever it takes. And Sakura I wanted to tell you something...I...I...I......" His face flushed red, and somehow he just could not finish his sentence. He took a deep breath, and mentally told himself that this was it, this was the moment that he had waited for so long. But before he could speak, the girl opened her mouth and he almost fell in astonishment in what she said next...

"I love you Syaoran...I love you."

Inwardly, he punched himself. Was he dreaming? Did he just hear right? This beautiful girl of his dreams loves him?? When he finally made sure that he was not dreaming (A/N: sorry Syaoran fans...but yes he did pinch himself real hard...I wonder if I should put how Sakura reacted when he started howling from pain suddenly. Hmmm....X3), a smile slowly curved up. Then, to Sakura's surprise, he laughed.

"Syaoran!!! Stop laughing at me!!! I meant it!!!" She pouted, red in the face from embarrassment and anger.

"So...laugh sorry Sakura...I just laugh could not help it...laugh I was just going to say the laugh same thing too you know...laugh" he broke off, clutching his stomach.

The auburn haired girl stared at him, not believing what he just said. He just smiled down at her, finally being able to control his laughter. (A/N: --U)

"WAIIII!!!!!" Sakura screamed in happiness, and jumped into the arms of the surprised boy in front of her. Syaoran blinked, then closed his arms around her into a tight hug.

"I would never leave you, never forget you, you will always always be in my heart......my cherry blossom...Wo de ying hua......" He whispered into her ear...

End of Flashback

'Syaoran...' She thought, touching the ring that he had given to her before he got onto the plane. It had been too big for her then, so she had worn it around her neck on a piece of string. But now it fit perfectly on her slender fingers. 'Syaoran...when are you going to come back? Its been 15 long years already...and I was never able to move on...'

They were there already. She pulled the car up, and poked her best friend in the back seat. "Hey! We're there already..." She sweat dropped as Tomoyo finally came back to reality, and got out of her fiancé's arms.

"We are? Ohohohoho...that was indeed very fast..." She grabbed her purse and ran out of the parking lot in the speed of light, causing Sakura and Eriol stare after her and everyone else wonder what the huge gush of wind was.

Sakura sighed, and followed her best friend. She had a cap on, and sunglasses too. This was for avoiding all her fans. She had her hair up, and Eriol escorted her out of the crowded place, while she tried her best to imitate Tomoyo.

When they got inside, Tomoyo was there taping her, as usual. "Sakura you look sooo Kawaii!!!!" She had the stars back in her eyes again. She dragged Sakura by the arm, and pulled her towards the changing room while shouting: "Wait until you try out the dress that I prepared!! Your going to love it!!! Oh and Eriol, just wait a moment outside please sweetie...we'll be right back after Sakura gets the new dress on!!!!"

When Sakura got out, Eriol glanced at this beautiful lady in front of him. He admired his love's work, and indeed, it suited Sakura very well. For the dress she had on was simple, but fantastic. It was just a plain dark green, with little pink cherry blossoms here and there. The whole dress was Chinese styled.

While Sakura looked at herself in the mirror, she suddenly remembered him again, for he was Chinese and came from Hong Kong, and his favorite color is green, just like this dress....Suddenly, she turned around and asked Tomoyo: "What is the date today?"

Tomoyo blinked, then smiled. She knew that this dress indeed was a success, even a naïve person like Sakura could figure out the deep meaning inside it that she had worked so hard on. Pretending to not know anything, she replied innocently: "Why it's the 13th of July..."

Of course!! How could she forget!!! Inwardly, she slapped herself, thinking how baka she was to forget his birthday...yes, today was his birthday, he must be 21 by now. 'I wonder how he is doing now, and where he is...' She sighed, and saw Eriol looking at her strangely, wondering what was she doing staring out into space. "Gomen Eriol, I was just thinking about something...."

"Hmmm.... 'Something' you say? Would you mind telling us what this mysterious 'thing' are?" He smiled evilly, and Sakura slapped him in the arm.

"No, but ask Tomoyo, she'll give you a good enough lie, err...I meant answer..." She stuck out her tongue at him, then turned on her heals and left while Eriol looked at her with a huge sweat-drop. Over her shoulder, she yelled: "Oh Tomoyo, would you mind asking the orchestra that was going to play with me if they could cut one piece short? I just decided to add another piece in my solo...its ok if they can't, I'll just change one of my solos. Thanks dude!!"

Tomoyo smiled, knowing what she meant. 'Of course I would Sakura, today is Syaoran's birthday isn't it? You have to give him his gift...I'll make sure that you do...'

Later in the concert

"Ladies and Gentlemen, the following piece that I'm going to play was not supposed to be in this concert. But today is one of my...friend's birthday, so I want to play this new piece that he had taught me 15 years ago, I hope you don't mind if it sounds bad, I haven't played this piece in a long long time..." Sakura's voice boomed throughout the studio. People where whispering to each other, for they had noticed that Sakura had mentioned that this friend of hers was a "he". And to everyone's knowledge the only boy that would be close enough to Sakura to get this present would Eriol, her best friend's faience. But then, they also knew that in March, Sakura had already dedicated 2 whole pieces in honor of Eriol's birthday, like she usually does every year. As for Tomoyo, her birthday is in September, when Sakura dedicated a whole concert to her best friend. Everyone was wandering who this person would be...but before they could continue the gossip, lovely, wonderful, fantastic, glorious...music filled the air. Everyone froze at once, for they had never heard a tune with so much emotion before, a tune so pure....

Halfway through the tune, another violin sound joined Sakura. This tune though, was deeper, and sounded dark. Sakura thought it must be one of the people in the orchestra who knew this piece, so she just continued playing, concentrating on the piece, not noticing that half of the audience was staring towards the entrance, where a man with a violin stood playing in the shadows.

Sakura only cared to look up when the tune finished and there was no applause. She wasn't that bad was she? But when she looked up, she saw a very familiar figure standing in the shadows, a figure who had just finished playing the violin he had in his left hand. 'So he was the one who accompanied her through the piece. I wonder who he is?' She thought while walking down the stage, towards him. She had the strange feeling that they had met before....

Just as she got down the stage, the person started walking out of the shadows slowly too. They met in the middle. When he finally raised his head and looked into her eyes, she gasped. For this young man that stood in front of her had messy chestnut hair and cold amber eyes....

"Syaoran...." She whispered.
