Chapter 1

A middle age man stood at his backyard staring at a fully blossomed tree. He raked his through his messy chocolate hair as the cherry blossoms floated around him. Suddenly a pair of arms wrapped themselves around him and two more pairs around his legs. He jumped. He turned around in shock, only to find his wife and kids. He heaved a sign of relief and hugged his wife and kids back. However, he stopped at the sight of the frown on his wife beautiful face.

" What is wrong darling?" he asked his wife, his voice full of concern while his amber eyes traced his two young kids." Why were u so shocked when we came up to surprise you?"his wife asked softly. Well….hehe I was deep in thought about something back then. Dui bu qi" he answered bashfully.

His wife gave a contended smile and said "I know" and gave a giggle. She leaned against her husband chest and watch her kids play among the falling petels.Her husband wrapped his arm around her waist and gave her a soft kiss on her cheek. Then he dropped the bomb.

"What if one day I died earlier then you darling?" "Well, I don't know but don't worry, I won't become a second Yelan!" his wife answered. "Oi, be careful kids!" she shouted across to her to children.

Her husband gave a smirk. "I know you won't darling but can you please promise me something?" "Sure what dear?" "If I died first for some reason, I want you to stay strong and raise our kids okay? And don't, I really mean don't, become like my mother. At least smile to our family. Is that understood?" he asked his tone becoming serious and silent. "Yes Sir!" his wife answered turning around and saluted him.

Silence resumed. They both stared into each other eyes. She started to giggle. She was never good at the 'staring' game (her kids called it that).

However, that was just a memory.

A memory left of him. A memory that floats into her mind every time she thinks of Him. A memory that contains a promise she will never break. A woman of her word, Sakura had promised her husband to stay strong and she will.

"Why? Why does he have to go? I thought he wasn't serious about leaving me, leaving us, so soon. Why?" asked Sakura for the millionth time. "Syaoran, I miss you. Where are you?" Sakura's hardened emerald orbs turned misty. She quickly blinked them away. She turned and head back to her room. Something caught her eyes. The fireplace. She stared at the glowing fire. Other memories came floating.

Flashback

"Sakura, take the kids and run! NOW!" Syaoran commanded. "No, I won't leave you" shouted a tearful Sakura. Her two kids had fallen unconscious because of the smoke. "Please Saku, please. I promise I won't die. Please take the two children and leave. There is not much time. He is coming. You just injured yourself yesterday. Please!" Syaoran begged. "Okay but keep your promise" Sakura replied, tears flowing freely down her beautiful face. She used what's left of her magic and carried her two children away.

End Flashback

"Why? Why does that coward have to come and attack us when we are still recovering from our last battle? Why? Why do I have to be so weak?" Sakura thought, tears coming to her eyes again. "But Syaoran won't deceive me. He will come back. I am sure of it. Even though grandfather, Madison, Eli and all the others think he is dead. Syaoran never broke his promise before. Now I have to be strong and sought out that coward. Yeah. That what I will do." With these thought in her head, Sakura brushed away the lingering tears and went to bed.
