Author's Notes: Yes a long time since I've updated, I know! But if you go into my profile, you will see that I've been updating almost all of my stories! DON'T FORGET TO REVIEW!

Disclaimer: Don't own CCS just the story.

Summary: He lived for a 1000 years, each life time he was born again into the same body, same family name, and with the same memories. It was a curse. It was a punishment for what he had done to the woman he loved. And within his 1000 years of life, he looked for her time and time again to get a chance to explain and to get her to fall in love with him again. The Great Angel, Sakura, has been reborn in his last lifetime before his punishment is up. She does not remember him, however, and he only has this life to make her fall in love with him again. Before he is sent to hell…

Important to Remember: This is the beginning of how everything happens, in Syaoran's first life when he first meets Sakura. This is the story of their love before it's shattered. This is told from a 3rd person point of view because I suck at doing it in first person.

.:Beginning:.

Syaoran Li was a powerful man of twenty. He was at a height of six two. He was very intelligent and strong, skilled in many things such as martial arts, music, business…everything a future clan leader needed to know. But Syaoran Li was lonely. He had a cold heart that contained love for very few people. He had three close friends, but he has lived in a lonely existence. He has never found a woman to love, never a woman that loved him for himself anyways.

The day was just beginning and he sat beside the lake, glittering beneath the sun. He sat alone on the plush green grass, beneath the shade of a cherry blossom tree. Syaoran had just finished his morning training and was now taking a break. It was the only time of the day he had to himself.

Syaoran sighed and relaxed his muscles as he closed his eyes. His family had been going through a very tough time as one of his cousin was suffering in a rare disease that seemed to have no medicine for it. There was a lot of pain and he often heard her scream in anguish. There wasn't any known medicine to relieve her of her pain. But his mother hung on to hope, praying in the temple for five hours a day for something to come along to help. It's been a week and the family was losing hope. They had even suggested to Yelen Li, his mother, that they end the child's suffering by killing her.

But he was against it, as his mother was as well. The Elders and himself had agreed that if nothing got better within a month, they would give her a small dose of medicine that would put her to sleep…forever.

Syaoran's heart clenched. He didn't want his cousin to die. They were very close as they were born only two months apart. Her long black hair and bright red eyes were glowing with life until she had been stricken.

Now Meling Li was pale and in constant pain as she laid in a large bedroom with people constantly trying to take care of her.

Suddenly a strange sound rang in his ears. It sounded like a strange whistle. Syaoran snapped his eyes opened to see something white falling from the sky, straight into the lake.

He stood up quickly as it descended further down and just as he closed his eyes in fear that it would hit the water and splash him, nothing came.

Syaoran opened his eyes to see the flash of white circle around the lake. He heard a faint laugh and a "WEEE!"

He squinted to try to make out the creature. It had two large white wings and one of the tip was dipped in the water of the lake. Before he could make anything else of it, it flew towards him.

To his surprise, it was a girl…with wings! She glided down gently in front of him. Syaoran couldn't help but gasp in shock. He stared at her in awe.

The girl was up to his shoulder, at most. She was very slim and had shoulder length auburn hair with large sparkling emerald eyes. The large white wings curled and it seemed like they wrapped her in a protective bubble.

The girl in front of him flashed a dazzling smiling. A hand reached out towards him and Syaoran stared at the arm. She had a perfectly tanned skin and on her wrist was a bracelet with bells on them. It wasn't made out of metal…it looked like glass that shimmered different colors in the light. Her fingers were long and flexible with long perfectly trimmed nails.

He sensed a powerful but alluring aura that was casted upon her. However Syaoran could not calculate exactly how powerful it was.

"I'm Sakura and I've been sent to answer someone who has been calling The Guardians for a very long time now." Her voice was melodic, soft and sweet.

Syaoran gasped again. Before he knew what he was saying, he choked out, "You're an angel?!"

Sakura laughed and pulled her hand back, realizing that he wasn't going to take it. She nodded and stared at the man in front of her. "May you take me to Yelen Li, please?"

.:Later:.

The entire household was in shock as Sakura told her story.

(AN: Italics mean past. So you are now hearing about Sakura's story after she has told it.)

I am the daughter of a powerful immortal witch and The Guardian of Gates angel. I live in the Heavens with my father. My mother, although immortal, has passed away when she gave birth to me. My older brother is one of the Guardians. I am an angel with powers, much different than the angels you've heard stories about. The Head Guardian has requested that I help your family in your call for help. I'm not sure why but I'd be very happy to help.

Sakura, after finishing her story, smiled at everyone. Her wings disappeared and told everyone she found it awkward to have everyone stare at them. So now Sakura and Yelen Li was talking.

"May you take me to Meling then, please?" She asked sweetly.

.:Meling's Room:.

Syaoran watched as Sakura, the angel, sat at the bedside of Meling. Her cousin had been screaming in pain previously but when Sakura entered the room, she settled and smiled. It had been the first time Meling had been able to feel relief from the pain.

Meling must've found it strange as well because she summoned the energy to open her eyes. She saw Sakura's emerald eyes staring right back.

"Hello, Meling. I am here to help you." Sakura told her as she reached for Meling's hand.

Meling gave her a glare and pulled her hand back. She spat, "No one can help me. There's no medicine for my pain."

Sakura simply smiled and told her, "But I am not a no one. I am an angel who has come to help you. If you do not accept my help then I can not extend it. So, would you rather die than take one more chance and let me help you?"

Meling took a side glance at Syaoran who nodded. "She's an angel, Meling. I saw her wings myself."

Meling looked at Sakura skeptically and with a laugh, Sakura's wings appeared once more. Meling's eyes widened before a wave of pain hit her again. Her eyes clenched shut with her body wrenching in pain, she pleaded for Sakura to end it all.

"End your life, or end your pain?" Sakura whispered as her face hovered over Meling's. Sakura closed her eyes and leaned closer to Meling.

She blew a breath at Meling that came out a very light pink, a color so light it could've past as white. The breath turned into a soft breeze as it extended and covered both Sakura and Meling.

Sakura's large white wings closed around both of them and the entire room turned blinding white. Syaoran watched through the blinding light as best as he could. He could hear the faint whispers of a song.

And just as suddenly as it happened, the light disappeared and so did Sakura's wings. Syaoran rushed to Meling's bedside where she was pale, still, and breathless.

Syaoran grabbed Sakura's shoulders and shook her, hard. "YOU KILLED HER! YOU KILLED HER! YOU KILLED HER!" He screamed at her.

He stopped shaking her when she touched his hand. "Wait." She whispered. Sakura's emerald eyes closed and another wind blew by both of them although no windows were opened.

Syaoran shivered as he felt something powerful surge around the room. The hairs on his neck stood up and his mind was spinning, what could be going on?

"Syaoran, I'm fine." A soft, hoarse voice said. Syaoran turned around with wide eyes to see Meling sitting up in her bed with a small tired smile across her face.

Everyone brust from the closed doors and screamed in glee as they hugged Meling. In the corner of his eye, Syaoran could see Sakura standing far away from the bed with a smile.

Something about her drew him to her. Every time he looked at her, his heart thumped heavily that he could hear it beating within him.
