FORWARD- Part of the story

Sakura:

Each time Sakura returned home, she faced the dismallness and emptiness that were placed upon her soul. The ache came softly, until she does not even notice how much pain her heart was feeling. For she understood that she would never be complete without him.Tears were not enough to express her deep yet unrequited love.

"Syaoran kun." Sakura murmured softly. Ever so often would the refined memories flow back. How regretful that she had never had the chance to ask him whether she was really worth that much effort from him.

Li sama's warning flashed into her mind as she remembered, "As you know Xiao Lang is the descendant of the Li Empire, it is required for him to be dutiful to the tradition of the family." Yelan's cold yet stern voice rang out, "I suggest that you forget all your past. It is obvious that there will be no future for you two."

How true.

How ironic that it was Syaoran Li who defied his mother by disobeying the order. They had came too far to break this fragile yet remarkable relationship. But destiny was brutal to the couple, as it crushed their vainly hope once more. Now, she could feel their hearts drifting farther and farther apart.

How cruel life can get, how twisted.

It was almost a month since Syaoran had left for China on a business trip with his mother. For the first time Sakura realized how difficult life was without Syaoran kun.

She missed him so much.

She was afraid that he might silently fade away, that she reminded herself of all the little things that had touched her heart. Deeply touched. For each moment that they had shared together was precious and valuable.

However, it was not enough to ease all her misery.

Things begun to alter slowly, but changes were ever so distinctive. A hint of avoidance fell upon Sakura as everyone drift away from her. The customary amicableness vanished as if it never existed. Even her dear friend Tomoyo chan was too busy for her. Now merely a cool nod to acknowledge her presence, even that was rare. Still she was satisfied with just the nod, but even that was too much too hope for. Sakura had become a nuisance to everyone. No one cared about her any more.except for one.

Eriol.

She had drowned deeply over his music, over his piano, for the sound of saccharine sweat but heart-breaking cry. Just as Syaoran kun, Eriol was calm, collected, deep and composed.

Eriol was so tender.

It was him who comforted her when she was despaired, crestfallen and in her worst state. Now Syaoran was gone, Sakura had fell utterly under Eriol's charm. But still she would not allow herself betray Syaoran.
