Disclaimer: I don't own Card Captor Sakura. CLAMP does, so please don't sue me, as I'm not making any profit off of this. I do however own any characters that you don't recognize.

WARNING: This story will contain shonen-ai (boy love). Which means there will be boys dating boys, kissing boys and so forth. I might make this a lemon, but I'm not sure. I've never written one before, so it depends on the reviews. OOCness.

A/N: Hi! This is my first shonen-ai fic so please be nice. I'm not sure about the angst genre, but I thought I'd be safe and put angst as one of the genres. So if you're reading this for angsty stuff, I'm sorry if it's not what you're looking for. Umm… I think that's it. Please read and review. Now… onto the story. Enjoy!

Chapter 1

"Ha ha ha!" laughter rang through the room. 18-year old Sakura Kinomoto looked around at her friends and smiled. Gathered in Sakura's room were Syaoran, Eriol, Tomoyo, Yue, Kerberos, and, of course, Sakura. The four teenagers had returned from a party for their whole class an hour or so ago, and were celebrating their graduation and reminiscing about old times.

"Can you believe that in three months we'll all be in college?" Syaoran asked, glancing around at his friends.

"No. It seems like we were trying to capture all the Clow cards just yesterday," Sakura replied with a slightly sad smile and a faraway look in her eyes.

"Yeah and Sakura and Syaoran were competing for everything!" Tomoyo added with a grin.

"What do you mean? They still compete for everything!" Eriol pointed out, rolling his eyes.

Once again laughter rang through the room.

Sakura looked at her friends. So much had changed. Tomoyo, the only one in their group who wasn't dating anyone, was curled up on Sakura's bed with Kerberos stretched out next to her. Sakura herself was sitting on Yue's lap, wrapped in his arms. Syaoran was stretched out on the floor with Eriol using him as pillow. He was absently stroking his koi's hair as they talked. 'No one ever saw that one coming. Well, at least not until last year' Sakura thought, smiling slightly at her friends. They were so happy together. 'It's hard to believe that just last year we were trying to get those two together. Them and 'nii-chan and Yuki.' Sakura shook her head, remembering just how stubborn her friends and brother could be. She laughed suddenly. Stubborn was an understatement; pigheaded was a better term.

"What's so funny 'Kura?" Syaoran asked, looking at her curiously.

"Hmm… oh nothing. I was just remembering last year. Trying to get you and Eriol together and 'nii-chan and Yuki together. I mean it wasn't funny then, well not most of it anyway. But looking back on it now it seems kinda funny in some weird way."

"You know Sakura, you're right. In some weird way it does all seem funny. Especially remembering how stubborn they all were!" Tomoyo pointed out with a laugh.

Sakura suddenly yawned. "It's nearly three in the morning you guys. Maybe we should get some sleep," she suggested, snuggling closer to Yue.

Everyone nodded in agreement. Grabbing their pillows and blankets, they laid down where they were. Within moments everyone was asleep, exhausted from the days activities.

1 year ago…

DING-DONG, DING-DONG! The sound of the doorbell shattered the quiet of the Kinomoto household.

"Coming!" 17-year old Sakura Kinomoto, yelled as she ran to answer the door, followed closely by her overprotective guardian/boyfriend, Yue. "Yes?" Sakura asked as she opened the door. "How may I help…" she trailed off upon seeing who was at the door. "Syaoran!"

"Hey Sakura," Syaoran said nervously. It had been years since he had last been in Tomoeda and, even though he had kept in contact with his friends, he wasn't sure how Sakura was going to react to him showing up at her house without any warning.

He needn't have worried. Sakura's face lit up with a smile and she hugged her friend before pulling him into the house. "Syaoran-kun! This is a surprise. Why didn't you tell anyone you were coming? Why are you here?"

Syaoran smiled at his energetic friend. "It's good to see you too, 'Kura-chan," he replied. "As to why I didn't tell anyone I was coming, well I wanted it to be a surprise. And I'm here because I'm going to be going to school with you guys next year."

"Really?! Sugoi! It'll be just like old times!" Sakura said happily. "Is something wrong Syaoran?" she asked, noticing that he was looking around nervously.

"Uh… well… is your brother home?"

Sakura blinked at him.

Yue snorted. "No, Kinomoto-san isn't here. You don't have to fear for your life," he said, speaking for the first time since Syaoran had arrived.

Sakura laughed. "You're still afraid of 'nii-chan? Well you don't have to worry, he's over Yuki-kun's house. He won't be home for awhile."

A wave of relief washed over Syaoran and he let out the breath he'd been holding. "Okay. I didn't want to meet with an early demise or anything."

Sakura rolled her eyes. "Well, come on. Let's go sit in the living and catch up. It's been a while since your last letter."

"Sorry about that," Syaoran said as they walked to the living room. "I've been busy."

"Oh, it's okay," Sakura said, sitting down on the couch with Yue, while Syaoran sat across from them in a chair. "I haven't written in a while either, so I guess I don't really have room talk."

They began to talk, catching up on what the other had been doing. They had been talking for almost half an hour when the doorbell rang again.

"Oh! I forgot Tomoyo-chan and Eriol-kun were coming over!" Sakura exclaimed, getting up to answer the door.

"You mean Hiragizawa is coming over?" Syaoran asked. He still didn't like Eriol very much and had been hoping that he was in England.

"Yes, and you had better be nice to him Li Syaoran! He's changed," Sakura told him with a glare.

"What are you yelling at me for? He always starts it!" Syaoran said indignantly, glaring back at her.

Sakura sighed. "Just be civil to him Syao-kun. Please?"

"All right, I'll be civil to him."

"Good. I'll be back," Sakura said going to answer the door as the doorbell rang again. 'Eriol really likes Syaoran. I hope he'll be okay. He's been so sad and quiet lately. I think he's kind of depressed. Sakura sighed as she reached the door. Plastering a cheerful smile on her face, Sakura opened the door to reveal her friends. Tomoyo hadn't changed much over the years. Eriol on the other hand had. He had grown his hair out and it now reached his waist. His bangs hung in his eyes, framing his face. He had also grown a lot and was over six feet tall. "Hi guys!" Sakura said cheerfully, greeting her friends. She stepped aside to let them in.

"Hi Sakura-chan!" Tomoyo cheerfully greeted her best friend.

"Hello Sakura-chan," Eriol greeted her with a small smile, voice somewhat subdued.

"I should warn you that Syaoran's here," Sakura said, speaking more to Eriol. A pained look flashed across his face. "Are you going to be okay Eriol-kun?"

"Hai. I'll be fine, Sakura-chan. Don't worry about me," Eriol reassured her, or at least attempted to. It would have worked better if he hadn't looked so sad.

"Did you know he was coming Sakura?" Tomoyo asked. She cast a worried look at Eriol before turning to Sakura.

"No, he said he wanted to surprise us," she replied. "Well let's go before Syao-kun and Yue-koi think we got lost."

Tomoyo and Eriol nodded in agreement and the three of them walked silently to the living room.

I'm sorry this is short. I'll make the next one longer. I don't know Japanese so if I got the suffixes on their names wrong, please tell me. I know that everyone's probably OOC. I hope it's not too bad, except for Eriol, he's supposed to be OOC. This is also my first shonen-ai fic so reviews and constructive criticism would be very appreciated. Please don't flame me about this being a shonen-ai fic. You were warned. If you do flame, you'll just be proving that you're immature and close-minded. All flames will be laughed at and then ignored. I'll try to have the next chapter out soon! Please review! If you want me to eventually make this into a lemon please tell me in your reviews. If I get enough people asking me too, I'll try my hand at writing one. Also, feel free to e-mail me if you want. Reviews and e-mails make me work faster. Thanks!
