' I'd Be Lying If I Said I'd Miss This '
…

"Lyn speaking" she said answering her cell-phone. She sat on a chair that was covered in plastic. Her father didn't want any of their furniture scratched or scuffed since they were now packing to move. She sighed knowing this was probably one of her last days in Hong Kong with her beloved Syaoran. Lin took a deep breath and forced herself not to think about what lay ahead for her and her father, but rather focus on her boyfriend's words.

"Hey...Lynnie Syaoran teased, sending Lyn out of her sad trance.

"Syao! I told you not to call me that! It's a good thing you're not standing right beside me or I'd..."

"What's that, Lynnie? You'd do what Lynnie?" he joked hearing her short angry gasps on the other end.

"I dare you to come and say that to my face!" she exclaimed nearly falling off her chair in anger.

"I'm sure you'd like that..." he grinned knowing they'd be too busy to even continue their quarrel.

"Actually yeah...I would..." Lin said feeling her sadness return again. She fought the hurting pain in her chest as she watched more people enter the house with boxes and pieces of furniture and carry them out the house. Slowly emptying the place she used to call home.

"Of course you would, seeing that you're leaving...Monday. That's only leaving us with tonight to spend together. What would you like to do?" he asked knowing exactly what she wanted to do the most.

"I want tonight to be special...just you and I, Xiao Lang..." she whispered in Chinese, imagining his mischievous smirk appearing on his face.

"All right...you asked for it. So let's make this a night you, not even I, will ever forget." Syaoran whispered back, matching her low tone.

"Keep this up and I'll never wanna leave..." she purred quietly, so her father and the movers couldn't hear. Lin moved to the stairs, getting up as the movers took her chair away, and waited for Syaoran's response.

"As much as I'd love to, I can only pleasure you once a night. And knowing you, I'd never satisfy your needs. When shall we begin our final moments together?" he asked using the sophisticated she loved.

"The sooner the better..." she replied, knowing her father would kill her if he knew she was no longer among the pure ones.

"How about 8:00. Think you can sneak past your father then?" he asked wondering if her father was happy Lyn wouldn't be seeing him for a long time.

"Sure I'll be ready by then. I can't wait till tonight...knowing you, you probably can't either." She teased making him smirk.

"You know me. Well I better go. See you tonight. " Syaoran said.

"Love you. You're the only reason why I'd ever return to Hong Kong..." replied kindly hanging up to let the words linger in the air. Syaoran thought to himself how he actually would take Lin leaving Hong Kong for good. And even when she did return, would things ever be the same again?

…

Sakura lay on her bed hardly watching the television. She was too deep in thought, imagining her one wish...her one goal in life to be accomplished.

She glanced at her calendar and knew September was coming up. She would either be going back to her public high school for grade 12 or going off to Hong Kong to Himawari Fields. A place she dreamed of going to for months.

She'd always put education first, but what seemed to worry her more was what would happen to her relationship with her boyfriend Hinode? Sakura remembered she'd read in a book that distance made the heart grow fonder, but not even she was certain what the outcome of this would be. With her dream, came problems and Sakura wasn't sure if she could be able to handle it.

Sakura turned onto her stomach and buried her messy head of honey brown hair into her pillow. Her mind drifted off into a mindless slumber as she tried to forget about life's problems.

'Dad...what will happen to you when I leave? Will Toya be enough to take care of you? What am I thinking...Toya has university to worry about...It should be me here taking care of Dad...Oh God, Hinode...he said he loved me, how can I leave him now. I just want him to hold me...forever...'

She slowly began to feel slightly guilty...why did this have to be such a difficult decision?

Suddenly the phone rang, startling Sakura out of her deep thoughts.

"Sakura-desu," she said answering the phone, not knowing who the person really was.

"Hello," said the voice in a stern tone on the other side. Sakura sat up not having a clue who it could possibly be.

"This is Mrs. Chin. I'm just calling to tell you that you have been accepted to attend Himawari Fields, " Sakura couldn't believe her ears.

"OHMYGOD!" she screamed happily, before she realized the other end went dead silent.

"Please, ahem, please carry on," Sakura said quickly regaining her posture.

"To be frank with you, we need to know you're able to attend come this September. As in, do you need any financial aid? Because it's about 8,000 for both semesters —"

Sakura nearly fell off her bed hearing the cost. She got to her feet and interrupted the representative.

"Seriously?" she asked feeling baffled by the amount of money students had to pay. It was obvious that it really was a High School for Intellects and Excellence by they're outstanding cost.

"Yes, Kinomoto, as I was saying, we read your application essay and we thought it was very well done might I add-"

"Oh my God! This is incredible! You have no idea how much I appreciate this! This is so too much for words..." her vision began to blur. Sakura's excitement gradually left her body leaving her body numb with emotions. Her dream had finally come true. She had never felt more certain of herself to attend this school. It wasn't only her dream, it was her destiny.

…

Life couldn't be better.

Sakura carefully unfolded the ticket to Hong Kong, all expenses paid that she'd received that morning, and sighed in delight. Her entire room was a mess. Clothes on the floor, suit cases dragged out of crammed closets and a huge list. Not to mention her school text books and school supplies.

The only thing she hadn't the slighted idea about was living with one of her father's former students who had gratefully offered for Sakura to live in her empty mansion. Things couldn't be more perfect.

But her happiness suddenly came to an end as her eyes passed a picture of both her father and herself. His kidney disease was worsening and had recently left him bed ridden. Now he was in the hospital.

Sakura not only had to sacrifice spending less time with her friends and boyfriend to work hard towards getting her scholarship, but to also help her brother Toya pay the bills, juggle jobs and chores. Her father regretted leaving the house when we was sent to the hospital, but hoped he would receive the treatment he needed.

She sighed hoping his treatment was going well. What hurt the most was the fact she couldn't call him because he was too weak to speak, and getting to the hospital he was receiving his treatment from was virtually impossible with the long waits and the fact he was in the next town. Being away from her father made her only want to work harder to bring him home.

As she continued to pack Toya appeared at the doorway glancing at the mess her room had become.

"You're halfway packed already? God, someone is eager to leave Tokyo," he said shaking his head.

"No I'm not..." Sakura muttered not wanting to be reminded. Toya sighed backing off, he slowly closed the door realizing that his little sister was soon going to be gone. And he couldn't stop her.

As he closed the door her lower lip began to quiver causing her to get up and throw herself on her bed in tears. She wanted so badly to tell her brother she would miss him the most, but couldn't bring herself to. It was a matter of pride, and Sakura wanted to leave Tokyo with just that.

As soon as the clock struck 8:00, Syaoran arrived at Lin's house right on cue. He got out his Mercedes Benz and walked out. A huge truck was coming tomorrow and boxes were piled outside near the garage doors with furniture and large boxes covered in plastic. Syaoran sighed running his hand through his chocolate brown hair. He got to the door and rang the doorbell. He peered through the window beside the door and could see the room was completely bare. The door opened revealing a tall man with graying blonde hair. He looked at Syaoran and forced a smile. Syaoran politely smiled back.

"Hey Mr. Myung, is Lin ready yet?" he asked recognizing his regular business face, looking preoccupied and busy with the huge move to America. Mr. Myung stepped aside and let Syaoran in.

As he stepped in Syaoran noticed the house looked empty with scattered boxes and was extremely quiet. Living in a mansion as big as the Myung's was difficult with tons of expensive furniture. Syaoran was glad he had grown up in Hong Kong and would hopefully never have to leave his hometown.

"I don't know, Xiao Lang. You can go ahead and her. We need to move more things on the driveway for tomorrow. I'd kindly ask you sit but as you can see there's nothing to sit on!" Mr. Myung said laughing at his own joke. He thanked him and walked up the long staircase. How they got all they're furniture down the stairs was beyond him as he neared the top.

Syaoran had been in Lin's house before and knew where her room was. He walked to the door and knocked lightly, avoiding the boxes that belonged to her.

"Lyn? It's me, yo. Your Dad said it was okay if I—" he was interrupted when a the door opened and an arm grabbed his shirt and pulled him inside. Lin pushed him against the wall inside and closed the door. Lyn walked up to him and sighed feeling sad. Syaoran pulled Lin towards him and examined her body.

"Hmmm...your certainly looking fine tonight" he said giving her a pleased look, running his hand along her thigh.

Lyn's black dress with thin straps looked like it was connected to her skin, smoothing over her every curve.

"Ohh...touch me" she moaned.

"What did you say?" said a stern voice that sounded vicious, from the door. The door revealed none other than Mr. Myung with his eyes not leaving where Syaoran's hand were. He stepped in with a very crossed look on his face.

Syaoran took his hands away like she had the plague. She blushed smoothing out her black dress and licking her lips. Syaoran and Lyn stood away from each other and awaited their lecture. Mr. Myung now had a pretty good idea what his daughter and Syaoran had been doing and was probably never going to forget it, or the words that came out of Lin's mouth.

"Father...uh..." she was speechless. Syaoran smiled sheepishly rubbing the back of his head. Mr. Myung frowned using his I'm-going-to-fire-you face, crossed and angry.

" When I said check if my daughter was ready, this is not what I meant! Now both of you, leave for your date before I change me mind," he said feeling crossed.

Syaoran quickly headed for the door, grabbing Lyn's hand and nodded towards Mr. Myung. He folded his arms over his broad chest and sighed turning off the light.

...

Relief washed over Sakura as she closed her last suitcase. All her packing was finally completed. She picked up the heavy suitcase and checked her list, all was done. She picked it up and dragged it downstairs to the front door for tomorrow morning.

Sakura collapsed on the last stair and panted. Her arms feeling hurt and limp. She felt tired and exhausted for the day and knew that tomorrow was the big day. Sakura glanced at the clock on the wall and realized it was getting late. She'd made sure to call and say good-bye to all her old friends except Hinode. She couldn't talk to him...bare listening to his wonderful voice, saying good-bye was probably the hardest thing she'd have to do.

The clock ticked loudly in Sakura's mind until she reluctantly decided to pulled her cell phone from in her pocket and speed dialed Hinode. She'd had to say good-bye or she would never be able to forgive herself. The dial tone kept ringing. She could hang up and not have to do this but something kept her waiting for his voice.

"Hey, what's going on?" he asked in a hurried tone.

"It's Sakura. I guess your busy, I can just call back..." she said, she couldn't help but want him to be busy. Her heart beat increased in her chest, never before had she felt so nervous.

"Sakura, It's you! I'm not busy, I was trying to fix my motorcycle. So...are you really going to that school? You weren't accepted...were you?" he asked softly, making her take a deep breath. Her hand shook holding the phone, it was now or never.

"Hinode...I-I got accepted," she said in a very small voice. Hinode went dead silent, letting the wrench he was using clatter to the ground

"What?" he said in disbelief. Sakura winced taking the phone away from her ear, tears forming in her emerald eyes, she couldn't allow herself to hear his reaction.

"I thought you were staying here in Japan with us! Why? Why would you want to leave? Something wrong that you have to fly all the way to fucking Hong Kong? Sakura! Answer me! Is it that you don't love me anymore?" he yelled again. Sakura wiped her eyes and put the phone a little closer to her ear.

"Of course not...I love—"

"Save it, Sakura. Your such a liar..." he hissed making Sakura gasp at his coldness. She took a deep breath and finally found her voice.

"Hinode! Is there something wrong with me getting a better education? TELL ME! I am not a liar! If I say I love you, I mean it with all my heart! If I wanted to leave you, I would have left a long time ago! But no, I've stayed here with you. By your side, going for rides on your motorcycle, looking at the stars. For God's sake you were my first kiss!" Sakura cried in the most angry tone Hinode had ever heard.

She cried quietly feeling hurt that Hinode was the only one who didn't support her choice while everyone else did.

"I just don't understand why the hell you'd wanna leave! You could easily say you don't want to go anymore! Call and say you want to cancel or something! Stay here in Tomoeda! We've gotten this far together, don't forget that I've also stayed by your side!"

"Yeah...well I guess beggars can't be choosers, can they?" she hissed hearing Hinode growl in anger. She couldn't help but give him some of what he was saying right back at him. He had no right.

"Don't you get it! I'm asking you to cancel and not go!" he barked coldly clenching the cool metal wrench in his fist. He really wanted to throw it at someone, that was how angry he was.

"I'm leaving tomorrow morning, you idiot! How can I cancel then? Its all been arranged! There's no backing down! You know I'd still visit and phone, write you stupid postcards...what more do you want?" Sakura exclaimed feeling she was running out of options.

"I want you to stay! Have you forgotten our love...or is that why you're really leaving. So you can escape this relationship, you coward! I care about you, Sakura! Don't you realize that?" By this point they were both yelling and cursing like there was no tomorrow.

" No, Hinode! That's not why I'm leaving! Like I said, if you were listening, I'm going for a better education! I still love you...what is wrong with you tonight! I called to say good-bye, dammit!" she cried, the tears coming out her eyes uncontrollably.

"So you just call me on the night before you leave and expect me to take it all like nothing major is gonna happen! What the fuck were you thinking? Don't you think I'd care, care about YOU! What were you thinking, Sakura!" He asked in a dead vicious voice.

"I thought that you would understand!" Sakura shouted with all her strength.

"Yeah...well you thought wrong. Good-bye, Sakura! Our relationship...all this mother fuckin shit...it's over!" He yelled back and all Sakura could hear was the constant humming of the dial tone.

Hinode had hung up. The words hung in the air as Sakura let her cell phone fall on her bed. Her body was numb with shock.

' I can't believe it...Hinode is really gone...' she thought not being able to comprehend the truth. She'd never hear his voice again...feel his warm lips against hers...his soft dirty blonde hair...see his handsome face one last time...

And all at once her emotions spilled out of her lifeless body. She collapsed onto her soft bed and let out a long sob as she got under the covers to let her tears spill, soaking her pillow. Her heart would never be the same again.

She had wanted to say good-bye to Hinode but Hinode beat her to it and said bye for the last time. She would never see Hinode again and that's exactly how he wanted it. Sakura closed her eyes and cried herself to sleep. This is not what she had expected, now she was even more determined to go to Hong Kong and forget about her troubled past. Because Sakura was sure she would want to start over.

' I wonder how it will be like to start over in Hong Kong...fresh with possibilities. Nobody knows who you really are, why you're here...and what you did. There I can forget about all this shit...and start a new life'

Sakura thought putting all of Hinode's memories in the back of her head. The afternoons they spent at the mall, how he would always wink at her in the halls, give her rides home, make out in discreet places on the beach...all would be forgotten. And replaced with new memories of Hong Kong...some that she'll never forget.

' Now I know how it feels to truly say...good-bye' Sakura thought and fell sound asleep with warm tears in her eyes.

...

" So...what kind of champagne should I pick up? The price isn't a problem" Syaoran asked driving to a liquor store. Lyn sat back in the leather seat and stretching her tired body. It was 11:30 and with all the packing she'd done she was exhausted. Lyn turned to Syaoran as he drove and stroked his cheek.

"Are you trying to distract me, because it's working," Syaoran said feeling Lyn's soft fingers stroke his cheek. He stopped at a red light and turned to Lyn who pulled her hand back.

"No...I just know how you can't resist the touch of a woman—" Lyn was cut of when she felt Syaoran's hand run up thigh. She was silent as Syaoran moved higher and higher. Syaoran smirked letting go and to put his hand back on the wheel.

"Just get the champagne and stop teasing me, save that for bed," Lyn scolding in a purring tone in Syaoran's ear making him smile nodded in agreement. He got to the store and got out and helped Lyn out like a gentleman. She thanked him and they walked in, hand in hand. Nobody could tell that it was the last time this couple was gonna see each other, but soon they would realize it and sooner or later they would have to say good-bye.

...

Sakura awoke the next morning feeling lousy and miserable. Her head was throbbing and she was still in the same clothes she had worn yesterday. She sat up and starred at the clock. It was 6:30 and her flight time that was written on a piece of paper that came with the ticket was 9:00 a.m.

The comforters were lifted as she sat up, groaning and rubbing her head all the way to the bathroom. She turned on the shower and took off her old clothes. She stepped in and washed her hair. She was about to start brushing her teeth when all of yesterday's events flooded into her head. She sighed and closed her eyes remembering she'd cried herself to sleep.

Sakura put the things she used back in her suitcase closed it up. The house was quiet and Toya had left early for his job. He was going to work early today so he could spend a little time with her before she left along with everyone else who was coming over to say good-bye. Sakura put on her robe and walked around the house in her fluffy pink robe and went to the kitchen for some Tylenol for her headache.

Today was the day she'd leave for Hong Kong and so far the silence was making her feel even more lousy. It was now 7:00. Sakura got up from eating her breakfast and walked up to her room to change. She had picked out a nice white sweater and a gray skirt. She put on her make up and brushed her hair. Sakura looked in the mirror and realized her honey brown was growing longer. People had always urged her to grow it out and now it was a little passed her shoulders. She brushed it down and put some pink clips in her hair.

As Sakura got up from her desk she looked up to see a picture of Hinode and her sitting under a tree. Hinode looked different, his face was turned in the other direction and cherry blossom petals slowly fell on his head. Sakura looked the picture intently, she could almost imagine it happening. Sakura starred at herself and could see her hair was shorter and a lot lighter with highlights. Never before had she dyed her hair, the sun gave it to her naturally. All that sun came from the beach, Sakura and Hinode's favourite place to be.

"Under that cherry blossom tree was where he first kissed me..." she said aloud to herself, in a sad wavering voice.

Sakura's eyes almost filled with tears but she blinked, forcing them back. She took the picture and put it in her purse, she didn't have anywhere else to put it. She slid the picture in the same envelope her ticket was in and placed it back in her purse carefully. It was memories like this that made Sakura want to forget even more. Now that she was sure that Hinode would never see her again...

...

As the morning light shown into his bedroom, Syaoran naturally began to wake up. He yawned running his hand through his tangled chocolate browb hair. Feeling half asleep, he slowly turned on his side and forced himself to look at his digital clock. His sleepy amber eyes widened at the current time it read.

He gasped. He sat up and rubbed his eyes to see if he was dreaming, Syaoran cursed seeing his eyes hadn't deceived him.

"SHIT!" he yelled falling off his comfy bed onto the soft carpet, along with his clock that changed to a later time with each minute he wasted.

"Fuck, it's nearly 10:30! I'm gonna be late to say good-bye to Lyn! Oh dammit! How the hell could this happen!" Syaoran panicked slowly standing up. He rubbed his head while he trudged to his bathroom to get ready for the new day.

He gazed at his sleepy, handsome face and groaned washing his face. He'd have no time to have a nice hot shower. He quickly brushed his teeth and then looked at his messy brown hair moved in all directions. He grabbed a comb and started to comb through his hair, he yawned slowly and could still smell the stench of wine in his breath. He rinsed his mouth with mouth wash to take the smell out, if his mother caught him drinking late again he'd be in huge trouble.

Syaoran ran back to his room and applied his cologne while deciding what the hell to wear, he pulled his black jacket from off his bed and noticed all his other clothing scattered all over the floor, she groaned throwing them in the hamper and quickly found some clean clothes.

He raced downstairs nearly tripping, only to seeing Meiling sitting in front of the television looking like it was another day with a smile on her face. Syaoran nearly punched the wall seeing her, and then it hit him.

"You did this, didn't you?" he said pointing his finger at her. She ignored him and continued to watch.

"I'm talking to you!" he yelled standing in front of the television to block her view.

"You're hungover, so I'll let it go today..." she replied in a calm voice. She got up and walked to the kitchen without saying more. Syaoran felt his rage increase as he quickly ran to catch up to her.

"Meiling? ANSWER ME! What the hell is your problem! I hardly have enough to get to the airport, and I still have to wrap—"

Syaoran was cut off when Meiling stood in front of him with a gift in her hand.

"That necklace you bought Lyn, yeah that one, you left it on the counter when we came back from the mall. I knew you'd be busy so I took the liberty to wrap it myself. I turned off your alarm so you could sleep in. I also noticed you looked so frantic and worried all the time. I figured since you have more important things to do that I could help you out some how..." Meiling whispered putting the gift in his hands.

Syaoran stayed quiet just looking at her.

"Fuck, you know how to make a person feel guilty." He remarked kindly making a smile appear on Meiling's face. She shook her head pushing him to the door.

"Yes. And I know for a fact that YOU'LL feel guilty if you don't get to that airport in time..." she replied making Syaoran's eyes widen, he was about to make a run for it when he stopped momentarily.

"You know I fucking love you, Meiling," he said messing up her hair as he took off.

"As long as you pay me back I'm good,"she said simply hearing him curse under his breath.

...

The door was slowly closed after all the guests had finally left the house.

Sakura let out a sigh of relief as she fell onto the couch. The house was now completely silent, all that could be heard was the nervous beat of her heart.

Toya came down from upstairs and grabbed his keys to his car. He went outside to unlock the doors and came back to load the car with Sakura's luggage. As he did that, Sakura looked over at the last gift she hadn't opened yet. It was from her best friend, Asuka. She hesitated as to whether she should open it or not, but Sakura couldn't help it. She slowly removed the colourful wrapping paper.

"Oh my...a scrap book..." Sakura gasped untying the ribbon that connected the cover together. She slowly turned the front page and smiled seeing all the beautiful memories she in photographs. Sakura closed her eyes imagining last summers events with Asuka and her dear friends that she hoped she'd never forget.

The memories stopped in her mind and were placed back into the book. She tied the ribbon back together and placed it in her carry on bag.

As she waited for Toya to finish loading the car, Sakura remembered the picture she'd placed in her purse earlier. She pulled out the envelope and picked the photo up. Hinode's face on the picture nearly made Sakura want to rip it up, but something inside her heart made her put it inside the scrap book. She closed it with a faint smile on her face, good or bad she still had to treasure her memories. Without the bad times she wouldn't appreciate the good times. And Hinode happened to be one of them.

"We gotta go or we'll be late, Sakura!" Toya called from outside.

A smile slowly crept onto Sakura's lips, hearing Toya's from outside. She brought herself up and took a deep breath, a hurting pain began to arise in her stomach as she took out her house keys and locked the door. She took a long look at her big house, and sighed. All would be missed.

She walked to the car and got in slamming the door. Toya looked at his little sister smiled shaking his head.

"You'll be back, don't worry. Just think of it like a vacation. This isn't, like, forever you know," he said.

Sakura sighed looking down at her hands in her lap.

"I know but..." she replied trailing off.

"Say good-bye" Toya said.

She closed her eyes and let her home slowly come out of view as they drove to the airport. And prayed a better future lay ahead of her.

...

Almost all the signs that displayed the speed limit were practically broken, as Syaoran raced to make record time all the way to the airport. While Syaoran cursed for the red light to turn green, he looked over at Lyn's present that had been wrapped by Meiling and she'd left everything as it originally was. It was neatly wrapped in shiny red wrapping paper with flowers, with a small card reading:

To Lyn,

Love Syaoran

PS I'll miss you forever...

He hadn't have a clue why Meiling would do that but he had to take what he got and give what he had. Syaoran began to slow down seeing the 'Choi Unlimited Airport' coming closer and closer in view. Syaoran drove in quickly and parked fast. He got out and walked to the entrance avoiding all the other people.

Syaoran walked briskly till he got to terminal 7. He saw Mr. Myung coming into view and smiled thanking god he was on time. Mr. Myung smiled and gave Syaoran a half hug with his regular business face on.

"Xiao Lang...I'm glad you made it. We're going to miss you." He said giving Syaoran a warm hug and a pat on the back.
"She's waiting for you over there" Mr. Myung pointed. Syaoran thanked him and made his way over.

"Thanks, Mr. Myung. Good-bye," Syaoran responded taking his hand in a final shake. He soon let go allowing another man he didn't recognize walked up to Mr. Myung and say good-bye. Syaoran turned away respectfully and began walking to find Lyn.

Syaoran walked over to the bench Mr. Myung had pointed out, to where Lyn was suppose to be sitting. The bench was further up and not many people were there. He walked further up to where the farthest bench sat and could see the top of someone's head.

He walked slowly to the bench and stopped mid-way. Syaoran then began to feel of emotions rush into his body, making his heart beat faster and his breath quicken. Never before had he felt so confused about his own body's feelings.

Lyn was right ahead of him and yet for some reason he was holding back. He closed his amber eyes thought to himself, he took in a long breath of air and walked forward to where she sat.

"Do I have to get down on my knees and beg you to forgive me for being late?" he asked in a soft voice. Lyn's teary eyes rose and instantly became trapped in Syaoran's deep gaze. Her eye's widened as she quickly stood up and jumped into his arms.

"Oh Syaoran...I-I thought you weren't coming! And..." she trailed off looking back into Syaoran's intense amber eyes. Lyn closed her eyes and buried her face in Syaoran's chest.

"You know I'd never let you leave without me saying good-bye...guilt is a powerful thing, you know." He whispered making her smile.

"Xiao Lang...you smell so good...no surprise" she stated quietly in his ear, as if they'd just gotten together just to talk. He stroked her long hair as she stood firmly in his warm grasp. He went to Lyn's neck, plating soft kisses on her skin as she talked. Lin could barley concentrate as his soft lips trailed his warmth.

"You're making it so difficult to say bye..." Lyn moaned in Syaoran's ear. He held her not exactly sure how to feel. He was sad he was leaving, but couldn't convey it in words like she could.

"You have no idea how much I'm going to miss you...those intense eyes, the taste of your lips..." she whispered.

' Flight 7 will be leaving in approximately 10 minutes. Flight attendants please board the plane in 5 minutes, thank you.' The announcement ended, everyone around started to walked fast towards their terminals. Lyn looked up at the huge flight board and sighed. The moment was here.

"S-Syaoran...I have t-to go..." Lin stammered between short gasps, warm tears slowly forming in her eyes. Syaoran stood up pulling Lin up with him, wiping her tears. He walked her hand in hand to the terminal gate and stopped. Mr. Myung waved off at Syaoran and mouthed ' quickly! We gotta leave' at Lyn who understood. Syaoran pulled the shiny gift from his pocket out and handed it to Lin.

"Hey uh...I bought this for you...so you wouldn't forget me" he said quietly, his own voice surprising him. Lyn's eyes filled with tears as she carefully tore off the wrapping. Her eye's widened when Syaoran lifted the cover of the box exposing a shiny silver necklace with a heart shaped diamond on the end. Just by looking at the shininess anyone could tell it was extremely expensive. The people waiting for their flights starred at Syaoran in envy as he placed the gorgeous piece of jewelry around Lyn's neck.

"OH! Oh my God...Syaoran...thank you! This neckless is so beautiful...beyond compare...thank you, thank you! Even if you came empty handed..." Lyn said letting the tears spill from her misty eyes. She looked directly in Syaoran's kind eyes.

"I'd still never ever forget you..."

Lyn put the wrapping carefully in her carry on bag and gave Syaoran a long tantalizing kiss. By now they were creating a major scene. Everyone sighed feeling jealous as the couple stayed locked at the lips for what seemed like an hour. Lyn ended it shortly and Syaoran hugged Lin tightly.

"Glad you like it..." he whispered in her ear. She sighed sadly with a smile.

"I'll miss you forever...for eternity...don't you forget that. And please write and call when you can..."

"I will," Syaoran said giving Lin a soft kiss on the lips. She deepened it with all the love remaining in her heart and slowly released.m

"I love you. More than the heart can hold..." she whispered sweetly. She looked back at her father who waited patiently, but with a smile urged her to say the final words. Syaoran tried to force himself to say those three words back, but before he could urge himself to they had to say their final good byes.

"I never thought I'd have to say this but, farewell, Syaoran" Lyn said crying. Syaoran stayed locked in the embrace, he himself never wanting to let go. Till it was his turn to say it as well.

"Good-bye, Lyn"

"Good-bye Syaoran," she spoke.

She waited hoping Syaoran would tell her he loved her too but her father pushed her forward to hurry up.

Lyn reluctantly let go and picked up her bag. She said good-bye and blew Syaoran a kiss, tears streaming down her cheeks, the necklace on her neck shining in the light. Syaoran waved saying good-bye. Till she was out of sight. Syaoran licked his lips, tasting Lin's strawberry lip gloss and remembering the smell of her hair...all would be gone.

AUTHOR'snote:

well that was really cheesy. sorry, i just don't really like my earlier writing. which is why im replacing a lot of my chapters with new and improved content. (spellchecked as well!) so unfortunately the last part of this didn't get all my needed attention since it's so fucking long, but it's good enough anyways.

much love!
