^*^*^*^WISH UPON A FALLING STAR^*^*^*^

By maixwolfblossom

FULL SUMMARY:

Some people say, "Wishing upon a star, gives you the hope you call for", and it is said that the star grants the wishes of those who are in desperate need. What if two suffering souls made the same wish on the same star on the same night? Does fate actually dwell within the stars?

Prologue:

Sakura Kinomoto was a girl who suffered great tragedy. She lost her mother at

the age of three; her father, who suffered depression and committed suicide, at the

age of 11; and she almost lost Touya, whose heart was failing him. Even with these

events, Sakura still kept strong because she had faith, Tomoyo, her best friend and

second cousin; and Meiling, whom was her friend in elementary, always by her side

supporting her. Sakura was afraid to love she believed she was cursed. Because

when she loved someone, it turned into tragedy and she could not take anymore of

that. Sakura never experienced the freedom of life, as a normal teen would know;

she always had to be a responsible person. But the most important thing that made

Sakura special was the fact that she was afraid to trust love because she never

felt loved enough, even though all in her community of Tomoeda loved her. Though

in her soul she knew it would not complete her, so she tried to hide the disturbing

pain in her life with cheerful, happiness but her vivid emerald eyes gave away her

sadness.

Syaoran Li was intensely trained in the Martial arts and to be the next Li clan

leader since his father died when he was four. He never enjoyed nor experienced

the joys of his childhood because he was forced day and night with endless training,

which resulted to his cold-hearted exterior. The only people who were close to him

were his friends, Eriol Hiiragizawa: his cousin and Meiling Li: his cousin and ex-

betrothed. He hardly knew how it felt to be loved because his mother was distant

from him, he sometimes wondered if it was because he looked so much like his

father that it reminded her about painful memories; he didn't even remember the

last time he received a hug from her and through the years he thought of her as

just…………..dead. But unknown to him (or does he know? Heheh) he _was_ loved by

many……….many _girls_ that is (lol). Who wouldn't? He had the looks that a guy

would kill to have: those _fierce_ serious amber eyes, which sent chills down any

girl's spine. It went well with his devilish smirk, his _messy_ chocolate brown hair

and that oh-so gorgeous body that could only be acquired by years of endless

training. *sigh* he was to die for. But Syaoran didn't care. Those girls were only

after his money and looks. He didn't want all the "love" from those infatuated girls

or the wealth of money. All he wanted was the wealth of love. He wanted someone

who could love him for who he _really_ was…………. himself. (sorry tooh interrupt but

this iss the last time. *ahem* awwwwwwwwwwwwww *ahem*)

*~*Normal P.O.V*~*

Sakura looked out her window she had just arrived back from the hospital from visiting Touya. She sighed feeling alone in the world.

"Is anything in my life ever going to go right?" she said to no one in particular.

Nothing but the wind answered

"I take that as a no"

She looked up into the captivating night, the moon a crescent shape, the stars a sparkling sight to behold…

Suddenly, she saw a falling star sailing through the spectacular night; she closed her eyes and made a wish:

~*~ ………I wish ………I wish that my life would be worth living if I had someone or something to live for………I wish for true love and happiness……… ~*~

Tears stung Sakura's eyes. She made wishes on stars out of an old habit.

*~*FLASHBACK*~*

Fujitaka tucked Sakura in bed a gave her a peck on her forehead

He looked up into the beautiful sky thinking of his beloved wife watching their family from the heavens above.

Something caught his eye and he said, "Look there's a falling star! Hurry Saku, make a wish!"

A seven-year-old Sakura watched her father close his eyes mumbling, she asked,

"Why are you wishing on a star, otou-san?"

Fujitaka opened his to see a very confused Sakura, "It is said that by wishing upon a star it gives you the hope that you need, and when you desperately are in need, the star grants the wishes."

"Oh I see…..……what did you wish for?"

"I can't tell you, if I did then it wouldn't come true, ne?" her father winked.

Sakura giggled and slowly fell in a deep sleep, still having those words in her thoughts and forever in her memory.

*~*End Flashback*~*

Sakura opened her eyes, from that day on she always wished upon falling stars.

She knew those wishes would not come true, it was one of the things she did not

believe in anymore as well as love at first sight. She sighed and breathed in the

nighttime breeze, the wind seemed to caress her face. She gazed up at the

glistening stars that lay upon the sky. Somehow, someway she felt that someone

out there was feeling the same way. But, she knew that such a feeling was silly to

believe. She dragged herself to bed with a broken heart and broken dreams…..……

~~~~Meanwhile~~~

A man in his late teens was also gazing into the enchanting night sky. He was trying to slip away from his troubles, but it did not solve his worries, though it soothed his emotions.

Syaoran gave a heavy sigh. He just came back from his intense training. Sometimes he felt like stabbing himself with that sword, to put himself out of the misery he was experiencing throughout his life.

Syaoran stared up into the velvety dark blue sky, embroidered with shining silver sequins called stars. Looking at the stars made Syaoran think about wishes. He thought about what he would wish for if he got a chance. He would wish for the wealth of love………but he shook the thought out of his mind. He knew that whenever he fell in love it would all become a heart-rendering mess………

*~*FLASHBACK*~*

Rioka looked up into Syaoran's eyes with content………she looked at him with adoration.

"Have I ever told you how much I love you?" A happy Syaoran said.

"Maybe you need to remind me……..." Rioka giggled making Syaoran smile. He loved that musical laughter. Syaoran bent down slightly and kissed Rioka softly on her lips………Unknown to him, Rioka had terrible news to tell………

Rioka parted away from the kiss and turned away with sorrow written across her face.

"Rioka, what's wrong?" a confused Syaoran asked.

"Syaoran……...there's something I've been meaning to tell you……...something that I know will break your heart…..…."

Syaoran stared at Rioka with a very concerned look upon his gentle features he lifted her chin, "What is it?"

Tears welled up in her eyes, "Syaoran,………I'm moving away." Finally she sobbed her heart out.

Syaoran just stood there feeling confused………disappointed……...and hurt.

Rioka took it the wrong way seeing the many mixed emotions playing in his eyes and started to run. Running away from her love and running away from the hurt that was tearing into her spirit just by staring into his face.

Syaoran snapped out of his trance and spotted Rioka running away as fast as possible. As Rioka was running she could still hear Syaoran shouting her name in the faint background. More tears slipped away, "Goodbye Syaoran, I think this is for the best……..."

*~*END FLASHBACK*~*

Tears threatened to escape from Syaoran's amber eyes. But no matter how much the tears stung his eyes he would not let them pass for he would not cry for a girl that ran away from him…...…taking his heart along with her. He knew he loved

Rioka no matter how much he denied it but from that day on he promised he would not fall in love ever again.

Syaoran suddenly spotted a falling star, snapping him out of his thoughts.

Just for the heck of it he made a wish:

~*~ I………I wish that my life would be worth living if I had someone or something to live for…….I wish for true love and happiness~*~

Syaoran knew not why he wished for that. It seemed like an impulse to him, he felt like he was meant to make that wish. He shrugged off the thought and moped over to his bed aching all over; especially in his heart……….
