I'll Be With You Forever

By: Kitty

This is my first fan fiction ever so please go easy on me. Don't flame
me too much! The only way I know that you like this fan fiction so far
is if you tell me. I will NOT, and I repeat, WILL NOT write the next
chapter unless I get at least 20 positive reviews. Underneath there
are some other stuff you might like to know and I apologize if I spelt
anything wrong, please tell me if I do. If there's anything else you
would like to know, just contact me. Another thing, just to warn you,
this turned out to be extremely long so only read if you're willing to
read a long chapter.

Prologue

*~Sakura~ *

" HOEEEEEE!!!" screamed Sakura angrily at the time on the alarm clock.
Small beams of sunlight reflected off the girl's beautiful hazel hair.
Emerald eyes quickly scanned the room for her plain, blue college
uniform but instead fell upon a gold-framed picture of her beloved,
Syaoran, and her.

*Flashback*

It was Sakura's thirteenth birthday as the girl pondered sadly and
anxiously in the silence of her room. To the hazel haired girl, it
seemed like everyone had forgotten how special this day was, only Kero
had remembered to wish her a happy birthday. =>Uh oh! How do you put a
flashback in a flashback? I know! I'll put them in "~..~", OK?<=

~..~ Sakura was late coming to school once again but this time she had
a happy and excited look on her face. "Hey Sakura!" called her best
friend Tomoyo.

"Oh, hey Tomoyo!" replied Sakura cheerfully.

"Why are you so happy today Sakura?" Tomoyo questioned quizzically.

"Oh, you know. That special day that's today, "Sakura answered, with a
tinge of disappointment in her usually melodious voice. When Tomoyo
gave her a puzzled look, Sakura exclaimed, "Don't tell me you forgot!"

She quickly looked over at Syaoran, who was watching the whole
exchange, with pleading emerald eyes and asked, "Did you forget too?"
The question took Syaoron by surprise, he could never lie to Sakura
when she looked at him with those dazzling emerald eyes. "Umm...uh..."
he stuttered unsurely as a red heat took him by surprise. Luckily for
him, Sakura wasn't watching him, she was staring out the window
blankly with tears starting to glaze her hurt-filled eyes. ~..~

A sudden knock on the door jolted Sakura back to reality as her father
called, "Come down Sakura, you have some guests."

"Hai dad," Sakura replies glumly. She slowly descended the stairs
sadly but what she saw took her breath away. Everyone was gathered
downstairs, waiting for her.

"Surprise!" family members and close friends yelled to the definitely
surprised girl. The room was brightly lit by thirteen pink candles on
the pink birthday cake and the small pink candles that dotted the
room. As she blew out all the candles on the cake except one, Tomoyo
exclaimed, "Oh! Sakura's gonna have a boyfriend and we all know who
that's going to be, hey Sakura?" Sakura flushed bright red at the
comment but only said, "Come off it already Tomoyo!" Tomoyo had been
trying to set Syaoran and Sakura up ever since sixth grade.

After everyone had finished eating his or her piece of delicious
strawberry cake, compliments of Tomoyo, Sakura got down to opening
presents. When she finally came to the last person, Syaoran handed her
a box wrapped in pink wrapping paper decorated with Sakura flowers.
Sakura carefully unwrapped the precious gift and opened the box to
reveal a picture framed in gold. The picture was of Syaoran and her,
sitting on a swing together underneath a Sakura tree.

*End of Flashback*

Sakura slowly put the picture back on her walnut wood dresser as a
solitary tear make it's way down her cheek. It had been six whole
years from the time Syaoran had left for his home in Hong Kong.
Syaoran had told her about his departure when they had some time alone
after her birthday party. He had promise Sakura that they would be
reunited soon but, so far, the statement had been proven false. Sakura
had waited for him, agonizing day after agonizing day. Waiting...that
was what she was doing these past six years. When was the last time
that Syaoran had contacted her? She wasn't too sure herself but she
knew that Syaoran had broken the contact within the first year of
their separation. She had a whole box of letters and e-mails to prove
it.

"Sakura, time for supper!" called Mr. Kinomoto from downstairs.
"Coming!" Sakura answered, still startled from the distraction of her
thoughts.

*~Syaoran~*

It was a tough afternoon for Syaoran, after experiencing a whole
morning of intense training. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner meals were
hard for this warrior to squeeze into his already crammed schedule.

The sorcerer hastily brushed aside a few tendrils of his raven black
hair as his amber eyes focused on his opponent. However, those amber
eyes soon wandered to the Sakura tree in the window just beyond his
opponent. A barely dodged kick soon brought Syaoran back to real life
as he promised himself that he would not let his attention wander to
HER again. It had already been six years since they had been apart.
-But it's so hard, everything reminds me of HER. Sakura...-

"Oomph!" Syaoran exclaimed as he barely stifled a groan. The punch
that his opponent landed soon brought the raven-haired boy back to
reality. As Syaoran regained his composure, his opponent attempted to
kick Syaoran in his stomach but this time, Syaoran was ready. Syaoran
swiftly dodged the kick and quickly swiped at his opponent's feet. The
opponent tripped and fell hard on the blue practice mat. Finally, the
competition was over and Syaoran was declared the winner. Directly
after the competition, Syaoran immediately took a shower, changed, and
flopped onto his green bed to receive a good rest. The last thought he
had before drifting into exhaustion induced sleep was, -Sakura...-but
he didn't have time to think about anything more because he was
already sound asleep.
