* Prologue
Four Years After the Clow Cards . . .
Syaoran felt he had been slapped on the back of his head. All the wind was
knocked out of him and his breath was reduced to a shallow whisper. His
palm slipped from Sakura's grip.
"I-I don't understand."
She stared at him, pity and sorrow filling her eyes. Sakura felt the
regret for hurting someone so close to her. She straightened herself and
added a little coldness to her voice to hide the shaking. "Syaoran, I'm
so-- this just can't work: you and me."
He sputtered out excuses blindly," I know, I'll change I swear. I'll
never--"
"No, . . .it can't be. It won't be."
Syaoran gave her a pained look. One of hurt from betrayal, and shock.
Sakura turned her face away from him; she couldn't take it.
He felt her body shift away and the warmth at his side turned cold. Syaoran
saw out of the corner of his eye: she was walking away, with as much pain
as he was feeling.
"Why, then?" he whispered, his voice cracking in agony.
