A.N. Hello!! My name's Kimon. This is just my first fanfic on CCS. Well, I am working on a digimon story but it's a series and it's really long, so I started with this. I hope it's good. But Piggy? If it's too long, can you just spilt it up into chapters?? If you can. Heheheheheheh. -_-;;;; -> ^.^ Well, anyway Syaoran should be around college by now and Meiling's here but with a less brattier attitude. I'm making her kind and caring instead of possessive and well, you know. I do feel sorry for her but she did make a few laughs in the anime. ^o^. Sakura's still missing and...I shouldn't tell you everything. ^.~ Well, I probalbly spent, ooh maybe a couple minutes of your life. *grin* Oh, and please e-mail me on how the fanfic is? Please oh pretty pleez with the bananaspilthotfudgesundaefrostingwhippedcreamandcherryontop? *looking at reader with sparkly eyes* *grin again* Now, on with the fanfic!!!!!!!!!!! Disclaimers: Well, you know the whole story that I do not own any of these characters or anything else that belongs to CLAMP. Well, duh. Although I'm asian, I am not Japanese. (Although, it would be a pleasure knowing how to read Japanese.) Memories...by me! Kimon! "NOOO!!!! SAKURA!!!!!!!!!" Syaoran yelled as helplessly watched Sakura fall into the freezing, rapid river below. He was hanging from a broken bridge with one hand. "Syaoran!!!! Help me!!!!!" Sakura yelled as she was swallowed by the rushing river. No....NO!!!!!!!!!!!! Sakura? Gone? This can't be happening. Sakura has to live. She's the Clow Card Mistress. Sakura...SAKURA!!!!!!!!!!!! " Syaoran? Syaoran? Yoohoo~ Earth to Syaoran? .......WAKE UP SYAORAN!!! YOU'RE LAYING ON YOUR ICE CREAM AND IT'S SPILLING ON THE PICNIC TABLE!!!!!!!!!" Syaoran woke up abruptly. " Huh? Oh, sorry. I didn't mean to. I really..." He looked at his cousin who was laughing while pointing at his face. " Huh? What's so funny? What's so funny?" He looked at Tomoyo who was recording him but was giggling along with Meiling. " What's....oh. " Then he found out that the girls were laughing cuz there was ice cream spread all over his face except around his eyes and nose. It was a weekend and Syaoran was spending the day with Meiling and Tomoyo since there was nothing to do and Meiling suggested it. He already finished all his homework and he had no classes today, so might as well. He took a napkin and started to wipe the dessert off his face when he went to la-la-land again. Tomoyo noticed this and her bright smile became a sad, sorrowful expression. He's thinking about her again. Oh Syaoran, I feel really sorry for you. I really do. I miss her a lot, too. But it wouldn't be the same on how you feel. Meiling nudged her and asked, " What really happened out there? How did he lose Sakura-chan?" Tomoyo looked at her and saw there was a worried look at Meiling's face. *sigh* " Well, it happened when we were about to go into college. All the cards were captured and stuff like that. A week before school started, we decided to go on a camping trip. Sakura's father said that she could bring two friends along with her. Her brother was already inviting Yukito-kun. She first chose me. Then, for a couple of minutes, she chose Syaoran-kun. Of course, her brother wasn't too happy. Her father couldn't sleep there because of business so he said he was going to pick us up three days later at the same time. We reached there and set up camp, and food. Sakura was a bit freaked out because her brother kept teasing her that there were ghosts in the area. But Syaoran and I calmed her down for a while." Meiling giggled and Tomoyo continued with the story," The older kids left us to find a safe trail for us to travel the next day. All of us ate, slept, and woke up, feeling fine and refreshed. Then the older boys packed our backpacks with goods, snacks, drinks, a flashlight (just in case), and a compass. Too bad, Kero-chan couldn't come. " Meiling and Tomoyo knew what kind of appetite Kero-chan had and giggled. Tomoyo continued," We followed the trail...... *flashback* " I guess these ribbons will lead the way. I wonder how it's gonna take to go and come back," Sakura asked. " I bet it'll take more than one hour. Now hurry up! How come you have so many stuff, Sakura??" Syaoran asked exasperatedly. " Hold on. Just my water bottle." " Well, then, hurry up. We can't wait forever." " Ohohohohoho!!! Kawaiiiiii!!!!!!! So cute!!" a voice said behind them. Both of the two sweatdropped. " Tomoyo-san? You're gonna take your camera? I don't believe this," Syaoran said while he shook his head. *whining tone* "Tomo~yo~-san~....." Sakura whined. " Well, let's get going. Can't wait around forever, you know," Tomoyo replied, pushing the two up the trail as she ignored their comments. They walked the trail while taking in-between, rests, snacks, drinks, and Tomoyo's video recordings. Then they came across a bridge which was dangerously weak and fragile. But they didn't notice that there was a road down the river. All they saw was the ribbon hanging loosely from a tree on the other side. *Gulp* " Are we supposed to cross this inferno bridge?" Sakura asked weakly. " Um...I was gonna ask the same thing as Sakura-san," Tomoyo said. Suddenly, she snapped her fingers. " Hey, why don't we use the Clow Cards?" " Not a bad idea, only that we left all of them in the tent, even though I told Sakura to pack'em, just in case," Syaoran replied, shrugging his shoulders. Sakura lowered her head in disappointment. " Well, I guess we have to. Um...Tomoyo-san, why don't you go first? Then, Syaoran-kun. Then I'll go last." The other two looked surprised but agreed with Sakura. Tomoyo closed her eyes and ran through the bridge, lightly. She held her breath till she reached the other end. She made it successfully and waved to Syaoran and Sakura. But all of them didn't notice that the ropes were slowly ripping. " Um...Syaoran-kun?" " Yes, Sakura?" " Can I go with you?" " No, Sakura. Our weight might be enough to break this delicate bridge." " Pleez? Pleez? I'll be careful. Honest. Pleez?" Sakura looked at him with big sad eyes. This was just too much to bear. " All right, all right. But stay behind me. I don't want you to get hurt. Besides, how will I tell your brother about it if you did get hurt? Now come on!" Sakura gave a small cheer and stepped gently onto the bridge, behind Syaoran. During this moment, Tomoyo was video taping and was complimenting herself. " Ooooohh!!! They are sooo cute!!!!!!" " Sakura? Are you not scared?" " I'm all right. Just a bit tense. That's all." But she was obviously not telling the truth. She was shaking from limb to limb, closing her eyes whenever she looked down at the river. Being swallowed by a cold fast river, did not feel pleasant to her. " Syaoran, can we speed it up more? Like what Tomoyo-san did?" " Sakura..." But before he could've said anything, the bridge broke and instincts told Syaoran to grab on the bridge. And on to Sakura's hand. Tomoyo looked down in horror as her two friends were struggling for life. " I'll...I'll get help....Hold on, you guys. Just hold on a bit more. I'll...be back. " She ran off, praying that the two will be okay. But., unfortunately, that wasn't possible. " Sakura. Don't...let..go... Tomoyo-san...went...to...get..help. Sakura...just...don't...let...go," Syaoran gasped as he struggled to go up the bridge. " Syaoran-kun...I can't hold on much longer... Only one hand can't pull my whole body up to the land...Let me go...Save yourself..." " NO!!! I won't let you go. Both of us has to go up there." " Syaoran...pleez." " NO!!!" he yelled firmly. " As you wish," she replied sadly. Suddenly, their hands slipped and Sakura was falling, falling. Kero wasn't here to save her this time. The cards weren't here. No one was here except for Syaoran. But with only one hand available, he couldn't anything. " NOO!!!!!!!!!! SAKURA!!!!!!!!!!!!" he yelled. " Syaoran!!!!!!! Help me!!!!!!!!!!" she screamed back but it was too late. She was already gone into the icy waters of the river. " No. No. SAKURA!!!!!!!!!" " Syaoran, we're here! And *gasp* where's Sakura!!!!!" Tomoyo asked worriedly. Syaoran just hung his head. Then, Touya came into view. "What did you do to my sister, brat?! What did you do?!" "I'm not that stupid!! Do you think I'd do this on purpose?!! I care about your sister, too, you know!!!!" Syaoran screamed at Touya's face. Touya and the rest looked startled when Syaoran yelled into his Touya's face and when they saw that there was tears in his eyes. "Well, anyway, I think we should pull you up first, Syaoran? (A.N. Gomen. I don't know if I did the 'kun' or'san' or 'chan' thing right but I don't know what to call Syaoran if an older person calls him. Please someone, e-mail me!) Yukito said gently as he threw down the rope. "Thanks," Syaoran said quietly as he clung on to the rope. *flashback ends* "Well, that's what happened," Tomoyo said sadly," Everybody thought she was dead. Well, since it's been several years, I guess it is true. It would have been impossible for Sakura to live but by a rare chance she could be livin right now. But now, that 'rare chance' is gone. I thought Syaoran and Sakura were destined for each other." " I know. But we still need to keep our hopes up," Meiling said dejectedly. There was a silence but Meiling broke the ice by saying, " All her friends, family. It must have been a real shock to them." Tomoyo only nodded. "Especially him," she replied while lifting her face towards him. But no one was there. "Hey? Where did Syaoran go?" Meiling asked. "That's funny. He was here, " Tomoyo said as she stood up. Both of the girls looked around in confusment. "Syaoran?" But a dust of wind only answered them. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Well, well. What ja think? Is it good? I hope so. But who would e-mail me anyway? Sheesh. I decided to change it into chapters. I can be soo changable. Special thankz to AnGeL Of SaTuRn 33 for the inspiration of this fic.
