I Write Sins Not Tragedies

A/N okay so you all hated me for the cliff-hanger last chapter…but at least it made you want to tune into this chapter right? Anyways I had time to update cause I've been home sick for the past three days so it's as good a time as any to take the time to update. This chapter is going to have some flashbacks of their past together which I hope you guys enjoy. And now messages to some reviewers!

BabyPenguin: Believe it or not you're the only one who's commented on how the lyrics to the song are the titles to the chapter! I have three other stories like this one that use the lyrics as chapters and you're the only one whose said something! (: And yeah I love the song too.

Insomniaaa: Thanks for the review and about what you said about the mill…but they closed it down and it might be closed forever or just a short amount of time, one of the people in charge of the mill might give in a little to the demands to stop the strike but we don't know if they'll take it. ): One of my best friend's dads is already looking for a new job in a city like 6 hours away…

Recap of Chapter 4…

Sakura felt her heart beat quicken while he was telling her this. "Doesn't it mean anything to you that my feelings haven't changed even after all these years apart?" he asked.

Sakura felt tears come to her eyes as he said that, "Yes," was all she could get out.

Syaoran couldn't stop himself when she answered yes. He grabbed hold of her and kissed her right there.

Chapter 5: No, I Can't Help but to Hear

Sakura was shocked at first when he started to kiss her that she just stood still. Eventually she gave in and started kissing him back. It was like a trip back in time for her just by experiencing this kiss, she knew she still had feelings for him when she first laid eyes on him again that night, but now, just by kissing him again she remembered all the love she had for him all those years ago.

After a few moments, Syaoran pulled away, even though he hadn't wanted to. "I'm sorry, I guess I shouldn't have done that," he looked away and started to look at everything around him, he wanted to look at anything but her right then and there.

Sakura placed a hand on his shoulder making him turn to look at her again and she smiled. "It's okay Syaoran, I didn't mind."

"What happened to the whole 'I love my husband' thing?" he asked raising an eyebrow but inside he was smiling. He knew he could make her have feeling for him again if he did the right moves.

"I don't know how to explain it," Sakura blushed. "But the moment you kissed me like you always did, all feelings for you came rushing back."

"I knew I had special powers," Syaoran smirked. "It was like I could look at you and know exactly how to make you fall for me again."

"Ha ha ha," Sakura said sarcastically. "Are you happy now?"

"I'd be doing back flips right now, but I'm way too cool," he shrugged.

"Oh yes, Mr. Cool," Sakura sneered.

"Yes, that is me," Syaoran nodded.

"You really haven't changed," Sakura rolled her eyes. "Same sarcasm and attitude."

"I thought that was what you loved about me," Syaoran made a hurt face at her making Sakura laugh.

"It was one of the things," she answered.

"Come on, let's go somewhere else so we can talk," he lead her to the café he had taken her on Monday and they sat down.

"So what did you want to talk about?" Sakura asked curiously.

"About… stuff," Syaoran replied with a shrug.

"About… stuff?" Sakura asked. "Since when do you like talking about… stuff?"

"Since now," Syaoran replied. "We can talk about anything. About work, about life, about the weather, about us…you know have a trip down memory lane."

"What kinds of things do you mean about 'down memory lane?" Sakura asked. She didn't want to talk about the time they broke up, but there were happy times she wouldn't mind remembering.

"Remember how long I spent chasing after you until you finally agreed to go out with me?" Syaoran asked smirking.

Sakura smiled at the memory, "You had been after me since we were kids. You even tried to get me to marry you one time."

"I got all dressed up for that and you still turned me down!" Syaoran said jokingly.

"I couldn't help it!" Sakura exclaimed laughing. "I thought you were creepy!"

"I was so not creepy!" Syaoran defended.

"Do you remember the day you did that?" Sakura asked. "It was Halloween and we were ten."

"Oh yeah, I remember that like it was yesterday…" Syaoran trailed off as he remembered the day he asked her to marry him.

A ten year-old Sakura came down the stairs of her house in a Halloween costume. She was dressed up as a princess. She had on a nice pink gown and a plastic crown as she came running over to her father, Fujitaka Kinomoto, who was sitting on the couch waiting for her to come down and also waiting for children to come by and hand out the candy.

"Daddy!" Sakura exclaimed running up to him. "Like my costume?"

"My do you look beautiful!" Fujitaka smiled. "You're going to be the prettiest trick-or-treater out there!"

Sakura giggled at what her father said, "Is Touya going to take me out this year?" she questioned him.

Fujitaka smiled and nodded his head in an affirmative making Sakura squeal, "Yay! I get to go out trick-or-treating with my big brother!"

Fujitaka smiled at his daughter and stood up off the couch, "Okay wait here while I go and get your sack to hold all your candy okay?" Sakura nodded as he went to go and get her a pillowcase or something to use.

Just then, the doorbell rang and Fujitaka called to Sakura, "Sakura! Can you get the door please? All you have to do is put some candy in their bags!"

"Okay Daddy!" Sakura shouted. She happily got up and opened the door with a big smile on her face, but the moment she saw who was behind the door her smile faded.

"What do you want?" she asked in a rude tone to the boy on the other side.

There stood a ten year-old Syaoran dressed as Prince Charming. He got down on one knee and grabbed hold of Sakura's left hand with one hand and pulling out a plastic ring with the other.

"Oh fair princess! Will you give me the honour of marrying me?" he asked.

Sakura frowned and pulled her hand away and slamming the door in his face shouting, "No!"

She turned around and started to walk away while Syaoran shouted through the door, "Can I at least have some candy than?"

"You know when you slammed that door you hit my nose," Syaoran grumbled.

"I did?" Sakura laughed, "I'm so sorry!"

"Yeah you better be," Syaoran crossed his arms over his chest and sat back. "Hard to believe you actually finally did agree to go out with me."

"Yeah but it did take about six years," Sakura answered with a shrug.

"Don't remind me," Syaoran groaned. "I got mocked by everyone that I was after a girl who couldn't stand me!"

"It wasn't that I couldn't stand you," Sakura stated. "It was that I wanted to see how long you would ask me out before you gave up. Surprisingly, you never did."

"That's because I'm not a quitter," Syaoran shook his head. "I wasn't giving up on you then just like I wouldn't now."

"You were still shocked the day I agreed to go out with you," Sakura pointed out.

"But that was because I was so used to rejection that it took a while to register that you said you might."

"I'll never forget your reaction…"

A sixteen-year-old Syaoran was leaning up against the counter beside the till at his uncle's shop. He had been reading Oliver Twist when the bell rang that someone had come in. Now normally he wouldn't have even looked up in acknowledgement to the customer until he realized that they were a group, and not just any group. He hadn't looked up until he heard one of them speak.

"Hey Sakura! Look who's at the till!" a girl shouted. Syaoran looked up from his book when he heard the name Sakura and saw the girl he had had a crush on since he was nine.

She was standing with some of her friends. The one who had shouted out to her was named Chiharu Mihara, one of her best friends. They seemed to be walking around the store looking for something.

Syaoran closed his book after marking his page and came around the counter. He walked up to Sakura and asked, "Can I help you?"

"Uhm, I'm not sure. Takashi dragged us here so he could get something," Sakura answered.

"Hey man," Takashi Yamazaki called as he came over to Syaoran. He was one of his best friends in school and dated Chiharu. "I was looking for new headphones. I busted mine."

"That way on the third aisle," Syaoran answered, "There's a whole area for them."

"Thanks!" Takashi exclaimed as he went over to where Syaoran directed.

As he walked away Syaoran turned to Sakura who was just standing there and started to speak, "Okay I know the answer I'm probably going to get," he rambled. "But will you go out with me?"

"Maybe," Sakura responded smiling. Syaoran, who was so used to the usual routine of her turning him down started speaking without even realizing what she had said.

"You know, one of these days you're going to turn me down one too many times and I'm just going to give up and you're going to regret that you turned me dow-," he paused as what she said had started to sink in. "What did you say?"

"I said maybe," Sakura smiled amused at how he was reacting.

"Oh my god! This is the happiest moment of my life!" Syaoran shouted. He started turning around and shouted over to his uncle who was in the back room checking storage. "Hey uncle Chen! I got a maybe!"

His uncle's head popped up out of the storage room door and stuck his hand out with thumbs up. "That's good news Syaoran, now get back to work!"

"Yeah, yeah, jeeze I thought you would be happy for me!" Syaoran shouted as he walked back behind the counter. He looked over at Sakura who was talking to Chiharu while they waited for Takashi. All of a sudden he remembered something and came running over to her, "I almost forgot! Want me to pick you up at seven?"

"I can't believe that was how our relationship started!" Sakura laughed. "The look on your face when I said maybe was priceless!"

"Yeah, well if you had been rejected that many times by the same girl, you would have been surprised when she finally said maybe," Syaoran mumbled defending himself.

"Whatever Syaoran," Sakura sighed. "I still think it was funny. You could always make me laugh."

"And cry," Syaoran whispered.

"What?" Sakura asked shocked at what he said.

"I know I made you cry sometimes Sakura," he said seriously. "You were crying the day we broke up."

"I don't want to go down memory lane anymore," Sakura sat back and crossed her arms turning away from him with a frown on her face.

"We have to talk about what happened sometime Sakura," Syaoran stated. "We'll never get passed it if we don't talk about it. I know I hurt you and I know it's hard but we have to talk about it."

"Well I don't okay!" Sakura snapped. "I was just starting to be happy around you again and you had to bring that up. Well guess what Syaoran Li! Something's are better left forgotten!" she stood up from her seat and started to walk away from him.

"Sakura wait!" he called standing up. He ran over to her when she stopped. "Don't go yet please."

"Let's meet again some other time Syaoran," she whispered. "I need everything that's happened to sink in. Maybe later I'll be ready to talk about what happened between us. I still don't forgive you for it you know, that's what makes it so hard."

"Okay, we'll talk about it later," Syaoran agreed. "Now will you come and sit back down?"

Sakura shook her head, "No, I'm going back to Akira before he wonders what took me so long."

"Okay," Syaoran nodded. Sakura turned around and walked out. Syaoran left money on the table and headed out the door. He saw her walking down the street when he called out to her, "Sakura!"

She turned around and he ran up to her. Sakura stared at him, "What?" she asked quietly.

"Before you go," he said, "come here." He gestured for her to come forward. She did as commanded and he placed his hands on her shoulders and kissed her. Sakura placed her hands on his neck as she kissed him back. She then pulled away and whispered bye and walked away from him.

Syaoran watched her with a forlorn expression on his face as he watched her walk away. When he saw her turn the corner and disappear, he missed her already.

Sakura got home and when she closed the door she sighed. She couldn't believe she had kissed Syaoran not once but twice! She just hoped that no one who knew her saw. Akira wouldn't be too happy if he heard what she'd done. He got mad over the simplest of things; he had such a bad temper.

"How'd the lunch with Megumi go?" Akira asked walking around the corner. He had heard the front door open and knew that his wife was home.

Sakura was about to ask him what he was talking about until she remembered that that was the name of the friend she said she was going to meet.

"Not like I thought it would have," she answered.
