And Love Goes On

Author's Notes: I don't ever think I update so fast with any other anime until now. Well as of currently I am trying to look for a summer job! It sucks because I've applied for 7 and none of them have called me back yet. And as of today I start my summer vacation. How beautiful and wonderful.

I would like to thank SakuraKxSyaoranL AND Hououza. They both give me aspiring reviews. Hououza, HE loves both of my latest Card Captor Sakura stories (I got it right this time!). And SakuraKxSyaoranL truly leave me long and wonderful reviews. They are helpful because they tell me what confusion I cause, what's great about it, and encourages me to keep going. Thank you both and EVERYONE for reviewing and enjoying the story.

Summary: In high school, he was at the bottom and she was at the top. But she never looked down upon anyone and treated them as equals. He had a secret to hide and no matter how much he hid behind the dorky glasses and the baggy clothes, he was the only one she chose to be her love. And he broke her heart but she's never willing to let him go without a fight.

.:Beginning: Monday Morning:.

Sakura had been in a dreamy state all weekend and constantly zoned out to think about her Winter Ball date. She was however baffled that he had disappeared right after she revealed her face. She had wanted to know how he looked like too. She had been very disappointed and when she called Eriol to ask him who he had set her up with, he had simply told her he was sworn to secrecy.

Sakura sighed and closed her locker. She had chemistry first today and she wondered if Syaoran had finished copying her notes so that she could have her notebook back to start writing her lab report.

As she was walking to class she saw him! A boy that looked so much like her Winter Ball date that it could not be a mistake. He had unruly chocolate hair and although she could only see his back, Sakura could imagine amber eyes staring back at her and a strong jaw…and a handsome face that was hiding beneath a mask.

Sakura ran towards him, pushing by the students who seemed to get in her way. Oh how close she was!

And suddenly he turned around.

Sakura stopped dead in her tracks.

The hair was the same but the face was completely different. Thick black framed glassed hid most of his tan face and instead of seeing amber eyes, she saw a rather dull light brown (AN: To clarify, he is not wearing colored contacts. It's just his glasses make his eyes seem more dull and a slightly off color than it really is).

Hiding her disappointment, Sakura smiled at Syaoran. "Good morning, Syaoran!" She told him happily and they both walked side by side to class.

"Oh are you finished with me notebook yet, Syaoran?" She asked him. He looked at her and it seemed more as if he was staring at her. Did she have something on her face?

Syaoran nodded and took out a pink notebook from his bag. He wondered if she would ever guess it had been him.

'Probably not.' He thought. 'Although…' Syaoran took a side glance at the beautiful and cute girl walking next to him, 'It would be nice if she did.'

But something hit him then. She would never guess that her Winter Ball date was him. He wore baggy clothes and looked…well like a low life. He had thick black framed glasses that he didn't even need to hide away his face. He was anti-social and barked at almost everyone. He didn't go out to any of the high school parties, wasn't part of any sports, and wasn't involved.

However he couldn't help but let curiosity get the best of him. Had he been a good date?

"Did you end up having a good time with your date?" He asked, looking at her only to find that she had already been looking at him.

Sakura was confused. It was the first time that Syaoran had tried to instigate a casual conversation with her. But she was still pleased that she was opening him up, even if a little. She had always hoped, since the first time she saw him in freshman year, that he would be her friend.

Flashback---

Five middle schools joined together at this high school so Sakura wondered if she was going to meet anyone new this year. She hoped so, she was the type who loved to keep meeting new people.

Lunch was such a busy time and everyone had separated their different ways. She couldn't find Tomoyo anywhere and as she was walking through the courtyard she saw a large cherry blossom tree.

That's when she saw someone who looked so utterly lonely, that it broke her heart.

Sakura walked up to him. He wore baggy clothes and it seemed that his glasses had been broken.

"Are you okay?" She asked. Sakura was shocked when amber eyes glared at her.

"I'm fine." He said in a clipped tone. He had a dark eye and Sakura took a brave step forward.

"Here let me help you."

And for some reason, the boy did. Something strange had happened because for some reason he allowed Sakura to help him. After helping his eye swell down a bit and the bleeding stopped, Sakura smiled happily at him.

"I'm Sakura."

The boy nodded and she thought with a little blush that this boy was pretty cute.

"I'm Syaoran."

Sakura looked down at the broken glasses sitting in his lap. "Here let me help you with those." Taking out her purse, she took out a small roll of medical tape. She carefully put the broken glasses together and handed them back to him.

"Thank you." He said. Sakura smiled. And before they could say anything else, the bell rang.

He never acknowledged her much after that. When she said hi to him, he would simply reply with a nod. By sophomore year she no longer said hi to him and simply smiled at him as she passed by. By junior year, they had four classes together and she had tried to talk to him constantly. He had this thick cold wall that kept her at a distance.

And secretly the entire time, his crush grew deeper and deeper.

End Flashback.

"It was…amazing. I was sad that I didn't get to know who he really was though." Sakura said with a small frown.

Syaoran pretended to be confused. "What do you mean?"

"Well you know how it was a masquerade?" With his nod, Sakura continued. "Well when the dance was about to be over, we're all supposed to take off our masks. So I took off mines and when I did, my date was gone. I was sad…I had such a fun time that night that I had been hoping I would be seeing more of him."

"Wow, what a punk ass bitch." (AN: That's what two of my guy friends call a wimp)

"I guess…" Sakura replied. "I wish I could meet him again though…with seeing his face."

Sakura and Syaoran both sat down and began to take notes when the bell rang.

However Sakura couldn't help but take these frequent glances at her lab partner. He looked so awfully alike her Winter Ball date…but he hadn't told her he had gone. It would've been extremely illogical for him to be there without telling anyone.

Sakura sighed and decided…it was only in fate's hand would she ever meet her handsome date ever again.

.:That Same Night: Syaoran:.

Syaoran had arrived home late. No one knew where he lived except for maybe Eriol who was also his cousin. No one except for Eriol knew his biggest secret.

"Welcome home, Master Li." His old but family friend butler, Wei greeted when he saw Syaoran walking up the stairs.

"Hi Wei." He replied. "I'll be up in my room before dinner."

In truth Syaoran was heir to a trillion dollar business. He was rich and owned at least twenty houses all around the world and currently he lived in a large white mansion that could easily top the United States White House.

But because of that, he was lonely. He knew that everyone would be after his money and he wanted friends who liked him for who he really was. He had been surprised when he transferred from China to Japan in high school that no one recognized who he was.

But Syaoran was secretly glad. He could live a normal life without anyone to dig off of him. Especially the girls…

Like Meiling.

'Don't you dare start thinking about her.' His mind snapped at him.

Syaoran shook his head to clear his thoughts and laid down for a while.

Meiling had been one of his girlfriends back in China. He had fallen in love with her, a deep love that he thought that when he turned eighteen, he would marry her. She was in love with him too but not as deeply as he thought she did.

He had given her everything he had without knowing that a different side of her existed. She came from a far part of his family, so far off that there was pretty much no relation. He bought her clothes and expensive jewelry, even once bought her a car. She was his first of many things and he would've given her the world if she wanted it.

But she broke his heart. Eriol had warned him of Meiling's crazy personality because she was known to lust after several men. Syaoran had ignored him, just as he had ignored Eriol's warnings that she was really a gold digger.

But Syaoran truly believed that Meiling had changed, that she loved him.

He was wrong.

Because one night, on their two year anniversary, he caught her sleeping with one of his friends. It wasn't one of his close friends, but he was the son from an allied company of his family's.

That's when Syaoran got a huge dose of reality. So his love was a gold digger and slut. And most of his friends were fakes who wanted to bask in his power and hope to receive a nice expensive gift for their birthdays.

So when his mother, Yelen, offered him to go to Japan to study for high school, Syaoran and Eriol took it. So wounded, Syaoran closed himself up. He was friends with very little people and always was secretive.

Only one person had been able to draw him out.

Sakura Kinomoto.

But Syaoran was so scared to get hurt. So scared that if Sakura found out the truth about who Syaoran really was, a heir to a trillion dollar company, she would only turn out to be like Meiling. He was so afraid that if she ever found out how he really looked like, a total handsome young man from China because he did have a lot of girlfriends, that she would be just one of them.

During one of his conversations with Eriol, Eriol had snapped at him. He told Syaoran that Sakura was not like that at all because in truth, Sakura's family was rich themselves. They owned a successful production company of movies and toys. She wouldn't be after his money if her family was so well off themselves. Eriol was shocked that he had punched Syaoran in the eye for believing that such a wonderful person like Sakura could even be capable of even THINKING of doing those things.

And yet, Syaoran was still afraid.

He had gotten close to Sakura from first experience. And deep down, Syaoran knew Sakura wasn't like that at all. And yet his wound was so deep that it was scarred.

Syaoran sighed and he took off his glasses. He wanted one day for someone to be able to take him out and bring his real self out of his shell again. Free him from the chains that he had bound himself to.

Secretly, he wanted that person to be Sakura.

Author's Notes: Another story updated! I've noticed that once I start typing, I can't stop. And I always type a chapter in one day and then quickly publish it. I don't really look it over so if there's any mistakes, sorry. But that's how I work. Normally I work fast and efficiently. As always….
