Summary: Tragic/Romance Syaoran tells his side of a tragic tale. It lost him his love and gave him misery. He lived his life through drunken eyes.

~*~Syaoran's POV~*~

Hi, my name is Li Syaoran.

I am 21 years old and single; I am the Li Clan heir and leader…

But I'm very unhappy; I lost the love of my life, getting to this position that I have today.

The one who helped me through it all… the one I loved my entire life… the one who inspired me.

The one who left me… and it's all my fault…

~~~~~~~~~~***Sometime Six Years Ago***~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A chocolate brown haired sixteen-year-old Syaoran, gazed at a fifteen year old, Sakura lovingly from a far, he hadn't told her what he really felt for her. Every time he tried, he failed because someone or something interrupted them.

Sakura felt someone's piercing stare burning through her. She turned around, just in time to see Syaoran walk away from the Sakura tree.

'_Hoe?…What's up with Syaoran lately. Hmmmm…He's been a bit distant…_'

She turned her attention to Tomoyo, who kept talking about her date with Eriol non-stop, but couldn't concentrate…she was thinking about _ a certain someone_.

"Sakura?" Tomoyo waved a hand in front of Sakura's spaced out face. When she received no response, an idea popped into her head, "Sakura! There's a ghost behind you!!!"

Tomoyo pretended to run and look frightened, but when she reached the quad she looked back. She didn't hear a scream or anything. What she saw surprised her. Giggling she took out her camcorder and C.D. player/stereo.

~*~Sakura's POV~*~

I snapped out of my reverie. Did Tomoyo just say ghost? I wanted to scream and run. I WANTED TO FIND TOMOYO… I WANTED TO DO ANYTHING BUT LOOK BEHIND MY BACK!!!

Shivering, I looked around _very_ slowly.

Instead of a ghost, I met fierce, grim amber eyes.

~*~Syaoran's POV~*~

I saw Sakura alone, figuring Tomoyo went to find Eriol; I decided to tell Sakura the truth of how I felt.

While I walked up to her my conscience was currently in battle:

Come on Syaoran…you know you want to. You've been waiting to tell her for nearly 2 years.

'_Shut up! I know I know. But what if she won't accept me?_'

Hmm? So Xiao Lang the Almighty is chicken, ne?

HEY! Who said I was CHICKEN!!!??? What do you think I should do?

Baka! Use your _charm_, your _seducing_ skills, and especially that sexy, devilish smirk!!!

Right, gotcha!

So it was decided; I, Li Xiao Lang, would tell my feelings to a girl! A GIRL!!! I've done it before, but that was out of foolish, childhood infatuations. MY GOODNESS, IT WAS MEILING!!!

But this was different; I could feel it in my heart.

(Eriol's note: Wow Xiao Lang confessing feelings…always wondered what that'd be like, :P)

Every time I'm near Sakura, I can feel my heart quiver.

I find myself waiting for her fluttery laughter.

When I came up to her she tensed and she mumbled something that oddly sounded like, '*mumble* G-ghost? Don't look back Don't look back Don't look back Don't look back'

She finally regained herself and turned around slowly, for the first time today I met her glowing innocent emerald eyes.

~*~Normal POV~*~

Sakura and Syaoran were staring at each other.

Both were unaware that a pair of mischievous violet eyes were recording every single moment of this.

Sakura was caught up in Syaoran's eyes, but broke the silence; her eyes widening.

"Hey! Oh My Gosh! It's Only YOU!!!"

Syaoran's eyes widened as Sakura jumped onto him while she chanted.

(A/N: you know the nah nah nah nah nah nahhhhhh chant)

"Tomoyo was lying. You're not a ghost You're not a ghost You're not a ghost You're not a ghost!!!"

So _that's_ why she tensed up… Syaoran smirked.

She calmed down looking extremely happy, "Ey, Syao-kun, let's get--"

"~_Dating, It's about time that you guys went out (uh, Yeah)…_~"

Tomoyo played a parody version of 'Diirty'

(A/N: lol The part where it goes: Let's get…Dirty, It's about time for my arrival ;p)

Sakura sweat dropped, "Not the thing I wanted to say"

Syaoran gave a nervous laugh.

It was now or never.

"Sakura I wanted to tell you something for a looonnng time…"

His eyes dropped to the ground, suddenly the floor looked a lot interesting.

Sakura looked up very naively, "What is it, Syaoran-kun?

Syaoran opened his mouth, "--"

~_ Girl, Your stare those jade eyes (are too innocent, baby)

Your lips your smile I (Can't get enuff of it, baby)

Your sweet and I know why (A little bit dense, my baby)

And I can't deny I (fell in love with you, baby)_~

(Tune: Mesmerize by Ja Rule ft. Ashanti)

Tomoyo played yet another parody.

Syaoran blushed furiously…where the heck was the music coming from? And why was it telling his feelings?

"Hoe?" Sakura gave a blank look at Syaoran, "Where's that coming from?"

"Um…Iono"

A few moments of silence and an awkward feeling was arising.

"Syao-kun, what did you want to say to me, anyways?"

Syaoran reddened even more, if that was even more possible.

"Well…You see…I*cough*like*cough*you*cough cough*"

Sakura raised an eyebrow, "What? I didn't hear you."

His now sunburn looking face looked up, embarrassed, "Um…I said, 'I like you'."

He suddenly looked down to the ground again, hiding his very flustered face.

Sakura densely smiled, "I really like you, too"

Syaoran disbelievingly looked up, "You do?"

"Of course, I like you…I like Eriol, Tomoyo, you…"

Syaoran fell anime style and looked saddened.

Tomoyo quietly giggled.

"…why are you disappointed? Did I say something wrong?"

Syaoran gathered all his bravery and looked up into her enchanting eyes, "Sakura, I didn't mean as friends, 'I like you'. I meant…I like you, like you. More than just a friend…"

Something penetrated into Sakura's dense mind and clicked.

She understood what he was saying.

Sakura put a hand under her chin looking down, felt her cheeks burn up and whispered, "hoe"

Hearing no answer, Syaoran turned his back on her feeling ashamed, "I understand, if you don't feel the same…"

He started to walk away.

Sakura's mind seemed to scream at her.

Hey you! BAKA (Idiot)!!! There's a boy who you've had the hots for since the fifth grade that just confessed his feelings to you! Aren't you listening to me?! GO AND GET YOUR HUNNY BEFORE HE'S GONE!!!

She choked out, "SYAORAN, DON'T LEAVE"

Sakura's heart pounded against her chest when he stopped and slowly turned around looking sullen. The soft warm breeze swept his unruly bangs away from his handsome face and those eyes…how she loved the way his eyes looked, soft and enthralling. It was nothing like the others.

She bit her lip nervously, "I-I Like…you, too. I-I mean m-more than j-just a-a friend."

Syaoran's expression lightened but you could never tell from his emotionless face, "Y-you d-do?"

"Y-yeah"

Sakura saw his cold exterior remain and thought he was about to leave again.

She looked down and when she lifted her head up, he was a foot apart from her.

Sakura looked at his serene amber eyes as his eyes bored into hers.

Her mouth went dry, "So…where do we go from here?…"

Syaoran and Sakura slowly came closer to each other, still captured in each other's eyes.

Syaoran placed his arms around her waist, pulling her closer.

She slowly, unsteadily wrapped her arms around his neck and pressed her body onto his; her body temperature increasing.

"I don't know…"

Sakura's lips went dry and she moistened her lips, her eyes dropped from his eyes to his lips and back to his eyes.

"What--"

Syaoran leaned forward, cutting the distance closer and closer. Sakura froze when she realized his face was close VERY close. Her heart raced as he leaned nearer to her. She closed her eyes, waiting for the kiss to come. He closed his eyes and when their lips met, heaven opened their gates.

There goes my first kiss…

Her lips were sweet and soft, just like the way Syaoran imagined. He nibbled her bottom lip tenderly and felt a passionate sensation entering his body. His heart was dancing with love and joy.

A soft moan escaped from her mouth as she reached up and put her hands in his messy locks as he enjoyed the feeling of her touch. His lips were so tender and fierce, she couldn't help but open her mouth a little, letting him in a bit more making her pulse flutter. His touch on her back was so gentle…He couldn't get enough of her…

Then they heard an, "Ahem"

Sakura broke apart and felt the heat leave her. Her heavy-lidded eyes opened slowly to see Syaoran scowling at someone beside them.

"I see we came at a bad time, my dear cousin? *snigger*"

"Kawaii!!!! (Cute)"

Tomoyo was starry-eyed and Eriol smirked.

Sakura looked at them sheepishly then looked away.

Syaoran realized he was still holding her and she was still holding him.

Blushing, they both let go of each other and they either looked up into the sky or down to the ground.

Syaoran and Sakura blurted out together.

"Umm, we were-um-just…hugging each other…and yeah our faces were a bit close *mumble* a little too close *mumble*…but yeah nothing wrong about a little friendly hug, right?"

Both Eriol and Tomoyo grinned evilly looking down at Tomoyo's camera.

Tomoyo raised an eyebrow dreamily smiling, "Hmm…yeah it does look a little close, doesn't it, Eri, dear?"

"Yeah really close…whoa! That seems intense, man, Syaoran! Are you really _that_ in love with her? *eyes widen* Whoa! That looks quite passionate and so…eager"

Tomoyo gasped looking jealous, "I want something like this, Eriol."

Eriol chuckled, "Now Now Tomoyo, you get all the love you ne--" he stopped mid-sentence seeing something interesting, "Cool Syaoran, you used the trick I told you about."

Hearing Eriol's remark, Sakura and Syaoran snapped their attention to Eriol and Tomoyo watching something on her (Tomoyo's) camera.

They quickly ran behind them to see what it was.

What they saw made them pale and blush a violent red.

Then they gaped.

It was their *ahem* 'hug'.

But they had to admit. It looked good…real good.

Sakura managed to gasp out, "Tomoyo-chan! You were spying on us!"

"Yes, my dear Sakura-chan, I admit…" Tomoyo put an arm across her forehead dramatically, " I did spy on you and you know what?"

Tomoyo dropped her arms away from her forehead.

"I know you liked that kiss and now you and your dense head can see you're perfect with Li-kun"

Syaoran and Eriol looked at Sakura with fear mingled with amusement as they watched her argue with Tomoyo.

Sakura growled in frustration and then smiled cheerfully,

"Tomoyo-chan, I finally see the light. I think you're right!"

Tomoyo smile widened, "really?"

"Really"

Syaoran knew immediately that something wasn't right.

Tomoyo hugged Sakura and Sakura put her arms around Tomoyo's neck and seemed as if she was trying to hug Tomoyo. Instead, she put her hands on Tomoyo's neck and started strangling her, "This is what you get for spying on me!!!!…"

Tomoyo smile did not fade at all, "You know you liked it…"

Then Sakura hugged her shocking everyone, "and this what you get for being a good friend, trying to make me not lonely."

Tomoyo grinned sheepishly and held up a C.D./stereo player, "I was the one who played all that music."

Sakura went into a fit of giggles, while Syaoran smiled amusingly.

Eriol just gave a mysterious smile.

"What?! I thought it was _romantic_" Tomoyo looked at their laughing forms, "Fine just laugh *humph* like I care………"

Eriol hugged Tomoyo around the waist, "Don't worry about it, they're just trying to make us forget about their………" Eriol's eyes flashed, the sunlight glinting off his glasses, his lips smirking, "_forbidden passion_"

Sakura hiccupped and ceased her laughter.

Syaoran smile disappeared abruptly.

Tomoyo seemed satisfied, "Now who's laughing?"

"So you guys are officially an item yet?"

Sakura and Syaoran looked at each other. Syaoran looked at Sakura questioningly. Sakura turned a pretty pink and nodded for only him to see.

He smiled in his mind and answered for her knowing she was being put in the spotlight, "Hai (yeah), we are."

Tomoyo squealed running to Sakura and Eriol smirk broke into a grin, giving Syaoran a high five.
