Summary: Sakura was the happy genki girl, but a single night changed all of that. Falling in love with something immortal had a great price to pay.

Prologue/Chapter One
:---------------------------------------:

A teenager with light auburn hair and soft emerald eyes stared off in the distance. Her chest tightened as she walked down the marble white tiles. She took long strides not wanting to waste time. She looked up at the clock it read 12:00. 'I still have 4 hours,' the girl thought to herself as she continued towards her path. She stopped at a door; it read 'intensive care.'

She looked down at the doorknob, and gripped onto it slowly opening the door. Inside everything was pure white, but was shadowed by a light grey due to the moonlight. She walked closer to the bed placing her hand gently on a woman's forehead. The woman looked to be in her late 70s. She was deathly pale and many wires were attached to her.

"Sakura…" the woman voiced out softly. Tears welled up in her eyes, "Tomoyo…" she said while touching gently the woman's soft grey curls. "Are you an angel? Here to take me away from all this pain?" the old woman asked quietly. The girl Sakura nodded, "No more pain Moyo." Tomoyo smiled feeling the pain ease from her body, "I'm glad you are here to take me Saku. My heart died when you left. But i knew you would come back one day," she said while tears trailed down her pale face. Sakura smiled sadly, "Of course, I can't bear seeing you in pain."

Tomoyo touched her hand gently, "You're so cold Sakura…" Sakura smiled, "Oh it's just because I've been outside." Tomoyo smiled brightly, "Oh it's been so many years Saku…I wanted you to see my wedding, my children." Sakura looked away, "You will be at a better place soon Tomoyo," she told her friend gently. Tomoyo nodded her head, "I trust you Sakura." Tears were trailing down her face, she touched Tomoyo's forehead softly and whispered some words off towards the night.

A loud beeping was heard and Sakura looked over to the machine seeing a straight line, she looked away sadly. She watched as doctors came rushing in shoving Sakura off to the side. But what got her attention was when a man around his mid 80s came in and looked straight at her. "Thank you, thank you," the man kept repeating. Sakura shook her head, "What are you thanking me for?" The old man smiled, "My wife, she was in so much pain for this past year, she's finally in peace."

Sakura looked back at Tomoyo, one last tear fell from her eye. She walked out towards the endless whiteness of the hospital. She shut her eyes, this was the last time the past was going to haunt her.

Chapter One
:---------------------------------------:

An 18 year old girl stared into her mirror sighing as she brushed her long auburn hair. "Are you sure you aren't coming along this time?" she said frustrated as her friend searched for a dress. A girl with long ebony hair and dark purple eyes nodded her head, "Sorry Saku, but I have to work in the hospital today. Tell Rika that I'm sorry."

Rika was sort of their friend, but they weren't really tight with each other. They had met one night at the hospital when Rika was volunteering. Tomoyo worked there full time, and helped with all the volunteers, which got her to meet Rika. Afterwards Rika would invite the two friends to the fabulous parties that she held.

Sakura nodded her head while fixing her make up, "It won't be the same with out you," she said sadly. Her friend smiled, "Look good for the both of us," she said while handing her a white crystal coloured dress. Sakura looked at it and smiled brightly, "Oh the dress is gorgeous Tomoyo!" Tomoyo giggled, "Of course I bought it just for tonight."

Sakura smiled at her friend, "You didn't have to…" Tomoyo shut her up and shoved her in the washroom, "Hurry and change, I want to see how you look." Sakura nodded her head, and shut the washroom door. When she was finished she came out wearing the dress. It had laced shoulder straps and a fitted waist. The dress flowed all the way down just slightly touching the floor. Tomoyo clasped her hands together, "I knew it would be perfect for you!" Sakura smiled, "It's so pretty, thanks Moyo!" Tomoyo smiled when she heard the doorbell ring. "That's probably for you Saku!" Sakura nodded her head and walked towards the door. "I'll see you later tonight," Sakura told her friend.

Tomoyo shook her head, "No I'm working the late shift tonight. So I won't be back until way early the next morning." Sakura frowned, "Okay see you in the morning than." Tomoyo smiled, "Have fun for the both of us!" Sakura laughed, "Of course!"

She opened the door and there stood Rika's driver. He was wearing a black sleek suit, he offered Sakura his hand which she happily accepted and they walked out of the apartment to the limo that was waiting outside.

They arrived at a light blue mansion. It was fairly large and had light pink flowers all around. She looked up towards the sky and noticed that the sun was already completely gone. She frowned slightly, it was only six and it was already dark. She walked inside and saw Rika's mother Mrs. Sasaki. The main room had many tables placed around with drinks and food of all kinds. The room itself was painted a pale blue, with a silver lining. The atmosphere had a cold feeling to it, but she had gotten used to it through all the parties she had attended with Tomoyo in the past.

"Hello Mrs. Sasaki," Sakura said smiling sweetly, "Where is Rika?" "Hello darling," her mother said while leading her towards the staircase, "Rika seems to be hiding tonight, would you please bring her back down here? It's very impolite of her to just stay there all night. She seems quite fond of the duke I invited." Sakura nodded her head, "I would be glad to." She walked upstairs and stopped at Rika's room. She opened the door revealing a pale blue room. She looked around finding nothing interesting, "Why aren't you coming down?" Sakura asked while walking towards her friend.

The girl Rika looked up, she had short plain brown hair and eyes, "Oh I met this handsome young man Saku!" Sakura looked at her, "How handsome?" Rika's whole face lighted up, "Oh truly the most gorgeous man I have ever laid my eyes on." Sakura looked at the girl, "Than why are you up here and not flirting with him?" Rika looked at her friend while fiddling with her light blue dress, "Well…I was too nervous when I saw him that I started chocking up." Sakura laughed, "What you need is a drink to calm your nerves."

Rika nodded her head, "Oh would you get me something?" Sakura grinned, "I'll be back in a few." Sakura walked down the pale marble staircase and saw the bartender. She walked up and smiled, "Two drinks please and something light." The man nodded and went towards the back to make the drinks.

Sakura waited patiently when a man came and grabbed her from behind he had dirty blond hair and sky blue eyes. "Saku…" he said seductively. Sakura pushed him away from her, "What do you want Josh?" she bit out harshly. Josh eyed her whole body; he had been flirting with Sakura ever since she met Rika.

The two were distance cousins; he had nothing special at all about him. He had a light tan and a bony body. "You," he told her while walking towards her again when a muscular hand held him back, "The lady seems to want you to leave." Sakura watched as Josh scowled, "This young lady doesn't know what she wants." The man who had his hand shook his messy chestnut brown hair, "She seems disturbed by you, so I suggest you leave." Josh was about to latch out at the man when something in those chocolate pools made him walk away, "I'll get you sooner or later Sakura!"

Sakura looked away from him in disgust, "Thank you for helping me." The man smiled, "My pleasure Lady Sakura." Sakura smiled sweetly, "Forget the formalities just call me Sakura." The man smiled and bowed politely, "Well than Sakura, call me Syaoran," he said while kissing her hand lightly.

Sakura smiled brightly at him and noticed the bartender returning with her drinks. "I must return to my friend now, she is the host of this party. Can't have her staying up there all night." She noticed Syaoran's smile faltered slightly but than brightened again, "I shall wait for your return." Sakura nodded her head and walked up the staircase.

She gave her friend the drink which she gulped down hungrily. They both walked down the staircase not too long later, and saw that many guests have arrived. She watched as her friend searched around the room looking for someone. Her eyes stopped at the man Sakura had met earlier. "That's him," she saw Rika dreamily admiring. Sakura watched as Syaoran walked towards them. "Miss. Rika, Miss. Sakura," he said while shaking their hands. She watched as Rika blushed, "Duke Li." Sakura looked at him, "Duke?" Syaoran chuckled, "Yes but you can just call me Syaoran like I said before."

Sakura smiled, and watched as her friend watched their interactions furiously. A man came from behind them and Syaoran dismissed himself following the man. Rika turned toSakura and glared at her, "How could you do that! Going for the man that I like!" Sakura wanted so much to laugh at her face but held it in, Rika wasn't anything special, she was just a plain ordinary girl and Sakura hadn't meant to steal the man away.

"I'm sorry that he has more interest in me," Sakura said shrugging it off. Rika started fuming, "Ugh you're in my way Sakura I suggest you leave, because as of right now you're uninvited." Sakura smirked, "Oh I shall leave, but after this dance." Sakura boldly walked up to Syaoran and tapped his shoulder, "Care to dance?" she asked seductively. She saw Syaoran smile as he led her to the dance floor.

They danced in perfect sync on the floor and he seemed to be floating. She looked up when she heard him chuckle, "I'd hate to think you're only dancing with me to get your friend jealous," he said. Sakura looked at him, "How'd you know?" Syaoran moved her so she was facing Rika. Sure enough there Rika stood glaring death glares at Sakura.

Sakura held her laughter in not wanting to ruin the dance, "Well, if it means anything dancing with you feels great." Syaoran smiled, "Well at least I'm not just a toy." Sakura smiled sweetly, "Oh you're way more than that." They continued dancing when Syaoran broke through her thoughts, "Would you like to get out of here?" Sakura smiled, "Well I'm currently uninvited, so I'd have to leave anyways." "You know anywhere we could go?" Syaoran asked as the song slowed down.

"We?" Sakura asked confused. "Yes, this party is truly boring me," he told her truthfully. Sakura nodded her head, "I know this place." "Well than let's go," Syaoran said while taking her hand and heading outside.

Sakura breathed in the night air, and they both walked towards his car. Sakura took the passenger seat. "So where to?" Syaoran asked, "Since I really have no idea where anything is." Sakura smiled, "Hmm, let's go by the pier, it has this gorgeous club, but its quiet expensive," she said looking down.

Syaoran smiled, "It's all right, price is not a problem," he said while driving the car through the cold night air. Sakura sighed while looking out the window, 'Wow, this seems too good to be true.' She looked down at her hand and noticed a single diamond, 'I shouldn't be with him, what about Ryu?' Syaoran looked at her, "That ring…who's it from?"

Sakura looked up at him, "Oh…my friend." Syaoran smirked but kept it hidden, "I see." Sakura nodded her head and continued watching the scenery, she couldn't believe she had just lied about having a fiancé, 'baka Saku!' she thought to herself. She looked towards him and saw the moonlight reflecting his face, she noticed he was slightly pale, 'Must not enjoy the sun at all,' she thought and she thought she saw him smirk like he could hear her thoughts but shrugged it off.

They arrivednot too long afterand they went into the club. Sakura gasped at the sight, although she had always known about the club, Ryu was always too poor for them to attend this sort of place. "Are you sure you want to eat here?" Sakura asked not really sure if he should spend so much money on her. Syaoran nodded his head, "Only the best for someone like you." Sakura blushed at the comment, while they waited for a server to show them a table.

Sakura stared at the prices, "Are you sure about this?" Syaoran laughed, "How many times do I have to tell you, I'm paying." Sakura looked at him unsure, but ordered anyways. After their meal was finished and paid for she decided to show him the pier outside.

The wind blew on her bare shoulders causing her to shiver. Syaoran took of his suit jacket and placed it on her, "Cold?" Sakura nodded her head, "Thank you." Syaoran smiled and looked deep into her eyes. Sakura couldn't help but stare back at him. She heard the music playing and watched as he offered her his hand. "Would you care do dance?" he asked in a deep husky voice, "This time because you want to, not to get someone jealous."

Sakura looked at him unsure, 'What about Ryu?' but looking into his dark chocolate eyes she decided it doesn't really matter, they weren't doing anything bad. She took his hand and together they danced under the moon. When the song ended he bowed and Sakura giggled at his gesture. "I better go home now," she saidnoticing how late it was.

Syaoran nodded his head, "Let me take you home." Sakura looked at him and agreed. The ride home was silent. When they reached her apartment, she looked back at him, "Thank you so much for the ride." Syaoran used his hand to tilt her head towards his and placed his lips gently over top of hers. Sakura was startled at first but her body responded to his gentle touch and she deepened the kiss.

When they separated Syaoran said slyly, "Mind if I go up with you?" Sakura's mind argued with her no, but her mouth answered, "Sure." They both exited the car and went up to her apartment. Sakura opened the door to her apartment and led him inside. He took a seat on her sofa while she went towards the kitchen, "Want anything to drink?"

"You," he said huskily. Sakura stopped and looked deep into his chocolate brown pools, "Me…" she said softly. "Yes you," he said while he caressed her check tenderly. Sakura turned the other way, "We shouldn't be doing this." Syaoran titled her chin up towards him, "Are you sure?" He placed his lips over top of hers, and used his tongue to part her lips. His tongue danced with hers as she placed her arms around him, wanting to taste more.

He parted their lips and said again, "Are you sure?" Sakura knew she should've made him leave, made him leave forever for Ryu. She belonged to Ryu, but she couldn't. No matter what her mind thought, her heart always answered, "No I want you to stay," she said while placing her lips back on his.

Syaoran smirked and lifted her up, and carried her bridal style. Sakura opened her mouth to tell her which room was hers but he seemed to already know. He placed her down on the bed and started kissing her roughly. Sakura was taken aback but deepened the kiss, wrapping her arms tightly around him.

He wrapped his arms around her torso, sliding his hand up and down her thigh. Sakura moaned she loved the feeling of him touching her skin, it sent shivers up her spine. Syaoran smiled placing kisses on her neck, licking the skin slightly. He unzipped her dress and slipped it off her.

Sakura was aware of him staring at her body, she was nervous, but it had felt so right. Right than and there, she decided to forget her morals, she wanted Syaoran badly. Her body ached for him, craved for him. She prayed to Kami-sama that he would forgive her. He grinned at her and started massaging her left breast. Sakura let out a moan, "Oh God," she cried never having done anything like this before.

He trailed down her soft skin with his other hand feeling every inch of her body. He played with her clit and said huskily, "Do you want this?" Sakura nodded her head, aching for him to enter her, "Oh please Syaoran." Syaoran smiled and slid into her smoothly. Sakura screamed at the pain, while he kissed her gently, "Shhh," he said soothingly. Slowly the pain left her body, she looked up into those captivating eyes, "Keep going," she pleaded.

Syaoran smirked and continued roughly seeing her tighten he quickly released and touched her sweat matted hair softly. He started kissing her body, making her cry out for him again. He reached her thighs and she started to feel a tingly feeling. Soon the night enveloped them and she fell into a peaceful sleep.

:---------------------------------------:

Morning came and Sakura sat up. She looked around the room, her head was throbbing immensely but she didn't understand why. She got off the bed, her body ached, she wondered what she had done last night. She quickly went to take a nice warm shower. When she was finished she decided to wear a white top and blue jeans. She exited the washroom and saw her friend right in front of her.

"Moyo, you're back," Sakura said happily. Tomoyo giggled, "Yep, sorry I couldn't make it last night." Sakura just shrugged, "It's all right." Tomoyo smirked evilly, "So what happened last night? I want all the details!" Sakura looked at her, she really couldn't remember what happened last night. All she remembered was going to the party, and everything else was a blank. "Oh nothing, you know just same old," Sakura said casually.

Tomoyo just shrugged her off, "Okay,okay don't tell your bestest friend." Sakura smiled and felt something funny in her stomach, she rushed to the washroom. Tomoyo stood by the doorway concerned, "Are you okay Saku?" Sakura nodded her head, having puked out the remains from last night, "Probably something I ate." Tomoyo looked at her worriedly, "Are you sure? You're looking kind of pale."

Sakura smiled reassuringly, "Yeah I'm fine." Tomoyo didn't look convinced but shrugged it off. "I have to work late again tonight," she informed her friend. Sakura pouted, "Aww…Moyo again?" Tomoyo nodded her head sadly, "Yeah there isn't enough people working the shifts." Sakura looked at her sadly and quickly rushed to the washroom again.

Tomoyo held Sakura's hair back so she could puke out the contents. "How about you get some sleep Saku? You really don't look so good." Sakura looked at her friend and nodded. She slowly made her way onto her bed, "Okay Moyo wake me up when Touya gets here." Tomoyo nodded, her brother was supposed to be visiting them today. "All right, and I'll make you some soup while I'm at it." Sakura nodded her head and drifted off to sleep.

Sakura lifted her eyelids up slowly. She looked over at the clock, it was already six. She noticed the sun was almost down but the brightness was hurting her eyes. She quickly walked towards thewindow and pulled down the shades. A sweet aroma made its way to her, 'steak,' Sakura thought to herself. The doorbell rang and Sakura ran to get it, "I got it Moyo." "Okay," she heard her friend's muffle reply.

She opened the door revealing a large man with dark brown hair and eyes. "Hey Kajuu!" the man said while ruffling Sakura's hair. Sakura frowned, "Mou. Onii-chen! Sakura no kajuu!" The man laughed, "No, no Sakura is always my kajuu." Sakura glared at the man, but a smile tugged at her lips.

"Dinner's ready," Tomoyo called from the kitchen. Sakura squealed and went towards Tomoyo. They all sat down by the table and ate their meals. Sakura stared down at the steak hungrily she didn't know why but she really wanted to eat it so bad right now. She never was a fan of meats. She dug into the juice and felt refreshed as it went down her throat. Tomoyo watched Sakura quietly, "I'm glad you're feeling better now."

Sakura looked at her friend and nodded, "Yeah it was probably just the 24 hour flu." Tomoyo nodded unsure, "Yeah…" The doorbell rang again and Sakura quickly jumped out of her seat to get it. She opened the door and stared at the man in front of her. Memories of last night rushed back to her and a light blush appeared on her cheeks.

"Who is it?" she heard her brother holler from the kitchen. "Umm…" she wasn't exactly sure where they stood. Syaoran chuckled, "Just her friend from last night," he answered for her. Touya and Tomoyo came from the kitchen. Tomoyo glared at Sakura, "And you said nothing happened!"

Sakura laughed weakly, she couldn't tell her friend she didn't remember until he appeared on her doorstep, "Well…I didn't think it was that important." Tomoyo looked at her friend and smiled sweetly, "Aren't you going to introduce us Sakura?"

Sakura looked at her friend, "Oh right!" She laughed nervously and pointed towards Syaoran, "Syaoran this is my brother Touya and my best friend Tomoyo." Syaoran shook each of their hands, "Nice to meet you." Touya glared at Syaoran, "You too," he said through gritted teeth. Sakura looked at Syaoran sadly, Touya was very overprotective of her and would freak if he knew what they had done last night.

She started to blush furiously, Tomoyo noticed this and quickly said, "Saku, want to help me wash the dishes?" Sakura quickly nodded her head and the two ladies walked to the kitchen.

Tomoyo grabbed onto her friends arm, "So tell me what happened last night!" Sakura blushed and said softly, "It was nothing Moyo." Tomoyo looked at her, "Nothing my ass, come on Saku I'm your best friend. I can tell you like him." Sakura blushed again while Tomoyo continued, "But you know that you CAN'T like him, you're engaged to Ryu whom you LOVE," Tomoyo emphasized.

Sakura looked down sadly, "Yeah I know." Tomoyo touched her friend's shoulder, "I think we better go out now, before your brother kills the poor guy." Sakura nodded her head in agreement. The two walked back out and noticed her brother laughing with Syaoran. "Sakura! Why didn't you tell me your friend was so funny," Touya said to her. Sakura didn't know what to say, Touya never acted like this.

Tomoyo looked at the clock, "I have to go to work now Sakura, you guys have fun okay?" Touya shook his head, "No, no I'll come with you." Sakura gaped at her brother; he was going to let her be alone with a man. Tomoyo nodded her head unsure and looked back at her friend, "I'll see you tomorrow Sakura." Sakura nodded her head as she watched the two leave.
