Authors Note: Just a quick note before we dive right in. This is based off the VERY popular manga Itazura na Kiss. It's one of my favorite mangas and animes of all time. I'm also a huge fan of Korean dramas and Japanese dramas (if you don't watch them do yourself a favor and do it!). For those of you who are going to ask me I tried to watch the Taiwanese version…. But I couldn't do it. I just didn't like how it was shot, and the sound quality was terrible! (Well at least what was available on ). So anyways! I've decided to combine my two favorite things Card Captor Sakura (S&S my ultimate OTP), and my love for Itazura na Kiss. Please enjoy!

Disclaimer: I do not own Card Captor Sakura nor do I own Itazura na Kiss.

Chapter One: Sakura, and the Confession!

The sun shone through the cherry blossom trees, and illuminated the long honey blonde hair of the lone figure skating down the path. The warm wind blew the cherry blossoms about making them dance to the ground.

The skater smiled up into the sun, and extended her arms out to embrace the day. A lone cherry blossom floated down, and landed on her nose.

"Hoe?" she stopped skating, and dreamily plucked the bold blossom from her nose.

"Kinomoto," came a deep voice from up ahead. Her green eyes met amber ones. Li Syaoran stood up on the path from her. His messy chestnut hair swaying slightly in the breeze, and his usual aloof amber eyes were warm for once. "Kinomoto Sakura."

Sakura swallowed and slowly approached him. "Hai?" she asked timidly, clutching the hem of her school skirt. A lock of her hair blew free from her braid. Before she had a chance to tuck it back in his warm hand reached and out did it for her.

She thought her heart would stop as his hand lingered on the side of her face. "I've wanted to do this since I met you," he whispered drawing closer to her. She could feel her face heat up as he bent down nearer to her.

This is happening. She thought her heart racing. My first kiss, and with Li Syaoran too. His amber eyes closed as his lips inched towards her. Hanyaan, she sighed eyes closing lips pursed out.

RING RING RING RING RING!

"Hoeeeeeeeeee!" Sakura screamed sitting up in bed. In her hands she clutched her pink alarm clock. Embarrassingly it had her lip marks on this face. Huffing in frustration she shut off her alarm clock, and then sleepily stretched. "Just a dream after all."

Her one sided love was now going on three years. It was in her freshman year of high school when Li Syaoran transferred to her school from China. Hew wasn't in her class, but she heard rumors about the cute new transfer student. One morning she was late to school like usual, and was hurriedly trying to get to class on time. Without looking she had dashed around the a corner, and ran into him headlong.

"Gomenasi!" She had quickly apologized bowing. "I wasn't looking-" her green eyes widened when she took in her the boy before her. Even three years ago he was very tall with broad, sculpted, shoulders. His hands rested lazily in the his slacks as he gave her a once over. His amber eyes blinked at her uninterestingly.

"Are you okay?" he finally asked.

"Hai, " Sakura answered blushing bright red. "Are you-"

"Well if you're okay will you please move out of my way?" he asked indifferently. She slowly nodded, and stood aside for him to move past. It wasn't until he was around the corner that she noticed he dropped his name tag. Too late did she try to call him back. Glancing at the name tag she took in his name.

"Li Syaoran," she tried out on her tongue. Clutching the name tag she smiled to herself. That was all it took. Since then she had simply admired him from afar. They were now seniors, and she knew she needed to act fast before graduation. She needed to confess.

Glancing at her clock once more she screeched in dismay: "I'm going to be late!"

She still had her tooth brush in her mouth, and only one pig tail done when she came crashing downstairs. "Ohayo gozaimasu Sakura!" her father Fujitaka called out pleasantly.

She removed her tooth brush before answering "Ohayo!" she finished tying her other pig tail, and smiled warmly at a picture sitting on the counter. "Ohayo, Oka-san."

The lady in the portrait was strikingly beautiful with long, flowing, dark hair and beautiful green eyes like Sakura's. Her mother had died when she was only 3 so she never really knew her mother well. Sitting her toothbrush down, she accepted a piece of toast from her father. She always wondered why her father never remarried. He was very good looking with light hair, and warm honey eyes.

"Remember Sakura, today is the day we move into our new house."

"Hai! Itadakimasu!" she said happily taking a bite out of her toast. "Say Oto-san, how did you tell oka-san that you loved her? I mean how did you confess?"

A dreamy look came over his face before he answered: "Well it was love at first sight as you know," he began. She did know. He had caught her mother as she fell out of a tree after trying to help a baby bird. "I was only a poor student teacher then so I couldn't give her much," he recalled "But I could give her my heart and I did. I wrote down my feelings in a letter, and gave it to her."

"A letter," Sakura mused chewing on her toast. Maybe she would write him a letter. "Duomo arigatou oto-san!" glancing at the clock she quickly scarffed down the rest of her toast before grabbing her bento, and kissing her father on the cheek. "Ittekimasu!"

"Remember! Meet at the new house!" Fujitaka called waving.

"You're going to confess to Li Syaoran?!" her friends squealed sometime later.

"Shhh! Not so loud!" Sakura shushed them; worriedly looking around to make sure no one else heard.

"But Sakura-chan, you know he's turned down every girl in our school," her friend Chiharu said playing with one of her pigtails. "He's shown zero interest in anyone!"

"But! He hasn't heard from our Sakura-chan yet!" her best friend Tomoyo said her amethyst eyes gleaming. "She's so kawaii and perfect no one could turn her down OHOHOHO," she laughed.

"T-Tomoyo-chan," Sakura blushed. Tomoyo and her had been friends since they were little. Their mother's were cousins. Tomoyo, she thought, resembled her mother more than her. Tomoyo had the long, flowing dark hair, but had amethyst eyes instead. One of her favorite past times was videotaping Sakura and making outfits for Sakura.

"You MUST tell me when you give it to him so I can capture the moment on video," she sighed dreamily "Ah… Sakura's first confession…"

"But! Wonder if he turns her down as well? You wouldn't want that on tape," Chiharu added.

Always the voice of reason Chiharu had became her friend in grade school A firecracker, in a small package, Chiharu had a big personality. She was even shorter than Sakura with brown hair and brown eyes.

"So when are you going to give it to him?!"

Sakura blushed and fiddled with the end of her braid. "Actually…. I already have."

"WHAT?!" both screamed again. Again, heads turned in their direction, and Sakura waved them off. "When?" Tomoyo pouted.

"I put it in his locker after homeroom," she answered mumbling.

"Ahhhh, so that's what you were working on his this morning. I knew it wasn't school work!" Chiharu laughed, playfully poking Sakura with her pen. Sakura was notorious for not being very good at school work. Most especially math. She was constantly ranking in the lower part of her grade. Syaoran, however, was always at the top of the grade. A certified genius, he had a maintained a perfect score on every test for the past 3 years.

"Has he seen it yet?" Tomoyo asked finally getting over her shock.

Sakura sighed heavily, and that was enough of an answer for her friends. It was now lunch time, and Sakura had yet to get a reply.

Suddenly, a chorus of squeals erupted throughout the halls of the lunch room. All heads turned to the source of the noise, and Sakura's heart skipped a beat. Li Syaoran was walking towards her. He looked bored as a group of girls followed after him squealing his name.

Chiharu started poking her again. "Um Sakura, he's coming this way."

Sakura ducked down trying to hide. "Shh! Don't say my name so loud!"

His amber eyes seemed to pass over her before he turned the other way, and started to head up the opposite hall.

"He looked right at you!" Chiharu gasped standing "Doesn't he know it's you?!"

"It's okay! Really!" Sakura said trying to tug Chiharu back down.

"Kinomoto Sakura!" Chiharu started yelling.

"Shhh! What are you-"

"Kinomoto Sakura-chan!" Tomoyo joined.

"You guys what-"

"Kinomoto?" came the deep voice. Just like from her dream. "Are you Kinomoto Sakura?" Syaoran stood facing her, arms crossed over his broad chest.

Chiharu nudged her waking Sakura from her stupor. "H-Hai," she said clumsily standing "T-That's me." Tomoyo pushed her toward him, and her heart sped up. Just like in her dream he slowly walked towards her. It was hard to read his amber as eyes as he stood before her.

The whole cafeteria went completely silent as Syaoran reached into his school blazer. From it he pulled out a pink envelope with a broken teddy bear sticker seal.

"Here," he said simply handing it to her.

Sakura gulped, and reached to accept the envelope. Never in her wildest dreams did she expect a reply. "Thank you for replying, " she finally got out.

Syaoran just sighed loudly as he waited for her to open it. She couldn't help but to smile as she opened the letter. But her smile quickly dropped when she took in his reply:

Dear Li-Kun,

I've admired you from a far for three years now. Ever sense the day we ran into each other in the hallway, and you asked me if I was okay. You gave a speech a year ago about trying you're all, and I knew than that I needed to tell you my feelings. Li-kun, I like you, and I hope that you return my feelings to. I'll continue to try my best no mater what cuz you inspire me. Your my angel.

Love,

Sakura Kinomoto 3

D-

Chiharu snatched the letter, and Tomoyo read over her shoulder.

"He graded my Sakura-chan's confession?!" Tomoyo gasped.

It was true. At the very lower end of the letter was a huge D- circled in red. The rest of letter was also edited in red ink correcting her spelling and grammar mistakes.

"Pitiful. My 4th grade sister could write a better letter," he said pushing his hair out of his eyes. "If it's one thing I hate it annoying girls. Especially stupid ones."

"What?!" Chiharu yelled coming to Sakura's defense. "Stupid girls?! Sakura-chan isn't stupid!"

"Not stupid? What do you call that?" he said pointing to the rankings displayed on the wall. "Red, the top 5%, Yellow and Green the top 50%, Blue 30%, and finally purple. The lowest of the school."

Sakura looked towards the rankings dejectedly. It was true she was in purple, and Syaoran was all the way at the top in red.

"You do realize what you do in high school affects you in college? Are you sure you're a senior?" he continued in a cold voice. Sakura wished she had the power to shrink as laughter broke out. "Stop wasting my time, and instead of writing love letters focus on your grades," and with that he turned on his heel and left.

"Hey!" Chicharu yelled after him, but she quieted when a small hand touched her arm.

"Sakura-chan?" Tomoyo questioned coming up to her friend, and resting a hand on her back. "Are you okay?"

Tears stun Sakura's green eyes, but she didn't want her friends to know how badly her feelings were hurt. "I'm okay!" she said smling "Really!" she added after Tomoyo continued to look concerned. "I'm glad I know how he feels, and now I can move on. Oh! That's the bell! Let get to class!" she said marching towards calss.

"Poor Sakura-chan," Tomoyo said covering her cheek with her hand "She's really hurting."

"Yeah," Chiharu agreed. She admired Sakura for putting on a brave face, but it broke her heart to know how much her friend was hurting. "Let's cheer her up tonight! She's moving into her new house. New house! New start! Right?!"

"Right!" Tomoyo agreed.

"SUGOI!" The girls squealed upon seeing Skaura's new house.

"I love your new house!" Chiharu exclaimed rushing about, and checking all the rooms.

"Thank you for inviting us over Kinomoto-san," Tomoyo said politely bowing.

"Please call me Fujitaka Tomoyo-san," Fujitaka said smiling.

He had a lot to be proud about. Sakura's father was an archeology professor at Tokyo University. He recently just published his own book, and after working very hard he was able to buy his daughter a dream house. It was a two story, yellow, gabled house. Just like his lovely, late wife Nadeshiko always wanted.

Sakura smiled at her father proudly, and gave him a huge hug. "Thank you, oto-san!"

"Well!" Fujitaka said hugging his daugher close "Shall I make us a nice dinner?"

"Hai!"

Sakura smiled to herself as she watched her friends, and father laugh together. It was would be hard, but she would get over Syaoran. She wasn't going to let one boy get her down. But still, she thought wistfully. I will always keep him in my heart. We're just not meant to be.

Suddenly a tremor shook the house.

"What was that?" Chiharu asked rice halfway to her mouth.

"Did a large truck go by?" Tomoyo questioned.

Suddenly the ground shook again sending carefully hung pictures to come off their hinges, and dinner plates to fall from the cabnits.

"Outside girls! Hurry!" Fujitaka said herding the three girls to the outside. The were practically outside when he suddenly turned back. "Oto-san! Come back!" Sakura screamed "It's dangerous!"

"I'll be okay! I just have to grab something," and with that Sakura watched her father disappear into the house.

Sometime later it was declared that it was only a very minor earthquake, and that Sakura's house was the only one that got demolished.

Her father was currently talking to a news crew; the picture of her mother clutched in his hands.

To say the next day at school was rough was a bit of an understatement.

"There's that Kinomoto girl!"

"I heard she got publicly turned down by Li Syaoran."

"Did you see the news?"

"I can't believe her house was built so poorly."

"Just ignore them all Sakura-chan," Tomoyo said guiding her friend through the crowds of gawking students.

"Yeah! They don't know anything!" Chiharu agreed.

Suddenly, like the red sea, the students parted for Li Syaoran. He was walking and reading a book. Seemingly uninterested in what was going on around him. For a second he seemed to glance at Sakura before going back to his book.

Chiharu couldn't hold back any longer. "Hey! Li Syaoran! Do you have no heart?!" he stopped and slowly turned. "Sakura-chan just lost her house last night. Do you have nothing to say to her?!"

He book marked a place in his book, and regarded Sakura with annoyance. "You again?"

Sakura wanted to disappear. "Really Chiharu-chan it's okay!"

"No it's not! This jerk needs to say he's sorry! She lost her house!" Chiharu yelled at him. Ignoring Sakura's pleas to be quiet.

Her yelling didn't seem to phase him as he reached inside his blazer. He pulled out his black wallet, and proceeded to remove a $100 bill. Holding it out to Sakura he said "So now you're a charity case? Will this be enough to get you to leave me alone?"

Sakura's green eyes flashed as she regarded the money. Her blood boiled, and she clenched her fist. "I don't want your money!" She exclaimed slapping his hand away. The bill floated to the ground. Stomping on the dirty money she angrily poked him in the chest. "I can't believe that I like such a terrible, coldhearted person for 3 years. I don't want anything to do with you anymore."

He seemed to smirk for a moment, and looked slightly surprised. "Good. Glad we are on the same page," he said removing her finger. He unfolded his bookmark, and went to continue on his way.

She was still seeing red as she exclaimed "You think you're so high and mighty that you're so smart. Who are you to look down on people, and treat everyone like they are inferior to you. You think you can mock us just because you're a genius?! Anyone can get good grades and be in the top 50%," the crowd laughed as Syaoran turned back around. Becoming more brave she added. "I bet I could get into the top 50%."

He laughed walking back towards her. "Oh yeah? Prove it! What do you propose for this bet?"

"I bet that I can get into the top 50% on our midterms," she said crossing her arms. Trying to look brave.

He just shook his head. "You think so do you? Well then I accept. If you Kinomoto Sakura get into the top 50% I Li Syaoran will give you a piggy back around the school."

The crowd gasped especially from the female variety. Sakura's face heated up thinking of the prospect. "Agreed," she said coolly. He started to walk away again when she noticed the $100 bill still on the ground. "And you forgot this!" she yelled rolling the money in a ball, and chucking it at the back of head.

Not even looking, to her dismay, he caught the wadded up money before it could hit him.

"AHHHHHH!" Sakura screamed in frustration. The crowd moved back in alarm. " I REALLY hate that guy!"

The rest of the school day went by uneventful. Finally the last bell was ringing.

"Do you need to come stay at my house Sakura-chan?" Tomoyo asked packing up her belongings. "You know my mother would love to have you."

"I wish I could invite you to mine, but we don't have the room," Chiharu lamented.

"Thank you. Both of you, but we actually found a new place to live."

"Wow! Really! Where?!" They both asked.

"Well it was really kind of lucky. An old friend of oto-san's saw him on TV last night. He offered to have us go stay with them."

Her father explained that him and Leiyun had been good friends while he studied archeology over in China before Sakura was born. Leiyun's family had took him in as an exchange student. They had lost touch once Fujitaka moved back to Japan, but Leiyun had recently moved to Japan in the last 3 years to extend his very successful company overseas, and had seen his old friend on TV the night before.

Later that night Sakura and her father made the drive to their new home. Sakura kept her eyes peeled for the address. Even in the dark, she could tell this was very rich neighborhood. "Stop!" she finally said spotting their destination. She gasped taking in the vast house before them. "Are you sure this is it?" She questioned.

Fujitaka re-read the strip of paper. "Yes, this is it. Let's ring and see if we are right" pulling to the gate he ran the bell.

"Yes?" came a musical voice.

"Um yes, Kinomoto Fujitaka and Sakura."

"Oh yes! We were expecting you! Please do come in!" a buzz sounded and the gate swung open.

Sakura took in the house. It had to be at least six bedrooms. A beautiful fountain trickled happily, and a lovely woman greeted them as they pulled up. She smiled warmly and hugged Sakura right away.

"Welcome to our home! I'm Yelan and you know Leiyun," she said gesturing to her husband.

A portly man came out, and bear hugged Fujitaka. The two exchanged pleasantries before Sakura introduced herself bowing. Fujitaka went to unload his car but Yelan stopped him.

"Please! You're a guest in our house! Let me have my son help you. I'll go fetch him."

"Go on Sakura, " Fujitaka said herding her inside.

"I can grab my things! Really! It's not much! Go talk to your friend oto-san," she said pushing her dad towards he house. Fujitaka nodded clapping Leiyun on the back.

Sakura smiled as she went to go unload her things. She had just grabbed her bag, and picked up stuffed bear Kero when a voice cleared behind her.

"Thank you for helping us!" she said beaming, and turning around to bow at Yelan's son. "We really do appre-" her sentence was lost as she gasped like a fish at the young man before her. "You!" she said pointing in dismay.

Li Syaoran stood before her looking bemused, crossing his arms over his chest. "What are you doing here?!" she cried is dismay.

"Me?" he said clearly amused "I live here."

Authors Note: So what did you think? So just to clear up some things. There is no Touya. I just couldn't find a way to make him work in the story . Also, for those of you that know Itazura na Kiss, there is going to be no Kin-chan. Yes I know…. But I think I found a good alternative that will really work great for the story. Sorry to say I never really cared for Kin-chan's character… I found him kind of annoying. So I'm sorry to 'Kin-chan", but I think you will like what I come up with instead. Also, Yelan is going to be very OOC because well she just has to be to fit the story. So let me know ya'll think. Thanks for taking the time to read this! Also, do you like including some Japanese here and there? Or would you prefer I just stick to English all throughout?
