Hey I'm sorry I made Syaoran sound so pathetic in the summary, but I think it's necessary for the plot. But bear with me people. I'll try my best to make the story have an interesting plot. This is like my third story.
CCS doesn't belong to me. It belongs to the four legendary women manga team, CLAMP. ( I really love their work.)
Chapter One ........A New Life........
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In a modern apartment of the humble town Tomoeda, there were three people in a what looked like a regular house dining room. All three looked like they were as if having a conversation. One was a women who was in around her 30s, a man around 37 and a young teenager with pure and intense amber eyes and dark rich chocolate hair ( yes u can guess who this is and this description is getting to b used too often in every fanfic).
The older man stood up with surprise, banging his hands on the table hard enough that can be heard throughout the whole house
" I've had enough of you" as he said pointing to young teenager in front of him.
" You have given us enough trouble for the last time!!" again replied from the older man
"Now dear please calm down...." replied the woman. The man answered back to the woman next to him
"Look Saya, did you know what I got from work today?!!! A phone call from his principle!! Saying that he pulled another stunt at school again today!!!"
Saya answers " This can't be... Tell me this isn't true Syaoran......" as she stared at her son in suspense
"Hmph..." as Syaoran replied with a simple grunt
"Don't you dare talk back to us like that!!!! Do you know how much damage you did with your little stunt?!!! The principle said that it might even take up to 5 years to repair the damage you did running that car around the school." said the older man as he face turned more red by the minute and had steam coming out of his ears.
"You're good for nothing you know that, ever since the day you came into this family. I knew I had a bad feeling about you but I had to listen to your mother and she insisted that I take you in. To get to the point Syaoran, YOU'RE WORTHLESS!!!
Hearing this, Syaoran stood up to the old man and talked back
" I'm worthless...I'm worthless... I'M WORTHLESS!!! You have no right to tell other people that they're worthless when you're the one that's worthless!!"
"Now listen here boy-"as he tried to continue just before Syaoran cut him off
"No you listen!!! You claim to say you work hard and support this family, but you always have someone cover for you and do all the work you were assigned to do. Well.... NOTHING BUT LIES!!! I always catch you down at some bars and getting a drink with your pals during working hours and when it's not down at the bar, it's down at the gambling station.......
"Am I right Dad? as he replied saying dad in his most sarcastic tone
The old man was surprised and just stood there scared stuttering over and over. His wife next to him didn't notice and couldn't take anymore of what she just heard.
"Don't you dare bombard us with lies!!! Especially about your father!!!"
"You have said enough now Syaoran... now go to your room!!!". He was surprised to be hearing this from the one person who just defended him against his father a minute ago.
"With pleasure......"
Syaoran got up from his chair and walked to his room smoothly without any reaction from the fight. The more farther and farther he walked away from the dining room, the sounds of his mother sobs can still be heard. He finally got to his room and slammed his door with a loud bang.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In Syaoran's room
Syaoran approached his bed and made his way to it and tossed himself with his messy bangs shadowing over his eyes.
Flashback
Outside to what looks like a sparring ground part of a big mansion that could almost take up a whole block there stood two young children and an old man. The old man looks like to be around his 40s or 50s and can be presumed as the teacher. The two children looked to be around 8 years old. One was a girl and a boy. The girl rich black hair and red ruby eyes that can bring out her fire.( yeah I know the description is short and old, but hey I still feel sleepy) The boy is close to the same height as the girl but looked to have no resemblance to the girl.
"Good work, the both of you did well. Now that your attacks are evenly matched we will continue this tomorrow" said the old man.
"Hai" replied the girl and the boy.
"Make sure you get of rest for tomorrow's training" said the old man
"Yes Master Wei" replied the girl and the boy at the same time.
Wei left the training grounds leaving only the two young kids.
"Hey Syaoran" replied the young girl. "Did it ever come to your mind that our happiness would end and someone came to try and destroy our family?" asked the girl in a depressed tone.
"What are you saying, Meiling?!" roared Syaoran. "How could you even think that?!!" "We are the most powerful clan in all of China!" "There is no way we can be destroyed that easily" "This clan has stayed in our family for generations!"
"When you put it that way it is true....."said Meiling as she was brightened by Syaoran's words but that didn't help Meiling forget about all her thoughts.
"But..."
"But?"
"But I would hate to see what would happen if we all were broken apart. Fanren, Fuutie, Feimei, Sheifa, Master Wei, Aunt Yelan and you, Syaoran." "I don't think I can take it" as tears started to form from her eyes. "I don't think I can stand seeing all of you in pain." Syaoran saw this and decided to change the subject.
"You can be such a crybaby sometimes, you know that Meiling?" replied Syaoran coolly
With this, Meiling forgot about her previous thoughts and immediately jumped at Syaoran for his remark. "Crybaby?!! How dare you call me a crybaby?!! Me of all people!! Nobody calls Li Meiling of the Li clan a crybaby and gets away with it!!!" Meiling was on top of Syaoran's back twisting his left arm as he howled out in pain.
"Ugh....Now why did I just do that?" Syaoran thought
"So you surrender Syaoran?" with Meiling still twisting his arm. "Then say it!!! Li Meiling is not a crybaby!!" still with a sharp look at Syaoran.
"Ok Ok just get off of me!!!" said Syaoran
"Hmph that'll teach you a lesson" "Maybe I should've made you admit that Li Meiling is far more greater than Li Syaoran while I had you pinned down" replied Meiling as she giggled at this.
"Don't get any ideas" said Syaoran giving his deadly glares at Meiling and still feeling bitter at what just happened a minute ago. But he was glad that Meiling forgot about what she talked about and now that she was smiling again.
"Nothing will happen to this family and nobody will end our happiness, nobody..." Syaoran thought walking right behind the cheerful Meiling.
End of Flashback
Syaoran's thoughts "We were happy back then weren't we? You may have been a pain Meiling but we did have fun together. But it wasn't you and I only........"
Flashback
A scene with four young girls looked to be around in their teen years, a woman in the 30s, Wei, Meiling and Syaoran all around a table to what looks like a family meal. Everyone was passing to each other choices set up on the table, filling their plates, digging into the meal. They all seemed to be having fun eating together, laughing and talking with one another. This was one of moments where Syaoran had remembered when his whole family joined together.
End of Flashback
Syaoran still thinking "But it didn't last forever .....
Another Flashback
"Syaoran get out of here now while you have the chance" replied Yelan.
"But mother what about you?" said Syaoran with a look of concern in his eyes.
"I have to go back Syaoran, to help Wei and your sisters" said Yelan
"No mother, what if you die then there won't be anyone left?" said Syaoran with tears streaming down his face.
Yelan leveled her face with Syaoran and wiped away his tears and embraced him in a hug whispering "You're strong Syaoran..... I know that you will survive and live a life of your own.. I didn't have you trained from the best of the Li clan for nothing.. Now please Syaoran get out of here. For me. Grant me this last wish Syaoran, and please live for me...."
Syaoran slowly took a few steps from his mother slowly until he ran as fast as he could. Tears came streaming down his eyes and didn't seem like they were about to stop.
"Mother........" replied Syaoran in a heartbroken tone
--The Next Day--
Fire trucks and ambulances surrounded what used to be a well built and structured mansion to what was now a broken down warehouse damaged from the fire with falling debris and the strong smell of smoke filling the atmosphere.
Syaoran saw the sight before his very own eyes still horrified. So many things flowed through his mind but only one thing mattered to him and it was his family's safety. The policeman standing in front of Syaoran had a discussion with one of the investigators. It looked like they were done investigating the scene for survivors so Syaoran couldn't help but overhear.
"Any survivors at all? said the policeman
"No not a trace sir, I'm very sorry to say that no one survived." " We only found the bodies of a woman, an old man and four young teenage girls who looked like they were slaughtered, and they were all burnt along with the house." said the investigator.
Syaoran widened his eyes at this shaking " My sisters.....Master Wei..............Mother.." "They're all dead......"
dead.........
End of Flashback
After he lost his home and family, Syaoran was taken to an orphanage. On that day after the accident he could still remember the conversation between the policeman and the investigator. Only the mention of his mother, Wei and his sisters bodies were found. Meiling's body was never found. That gave him a slight hope. It has been two years afterwards and Syaoran has turned 10. He was about to give up hope in finding his cousin. Until then he was adopted by Saya and Hiro Tsuruge and lived his life in Tomoeda ever since.
Syaoran got up from his bed changing his clothes to a black leather jacket, forest green shirt hanging loose enough to give anyone a glimpse of his muscular chest, black army pants and boots. He opened up a cabin and took out a few daggers armoring it under his jacket sleeves. Approaching his window, he opened it.
"I shouldn't be living my life here." "This has done nothing for me." "I will live another life and hopefully I'll find you Meiling wherever you are...."
Syaoran ended his thoughts and jumped out the window landing on the ground with his feet without an ounce of pain from the fall. It was dark and the time was around 1:15am, but that didn't scare Syaoran. Ever since the accident he has learned to survive on his own and fought for himself. Without all the training from Wei his fighting skills still improved over time but wished the same could be said about the way he deals with people. Passing the next building, he decided to make a turn to the next alley he saw wandering around. In the next few minutes, there were gunshots heard not too far from him. Syaoran heard this and swiftly climbed to the top of the building. Few moments later five young men approached to right where Syaoran was standing, stopping for a moment to fire bullets to another group of five guys with a trademark of a snake on their clothes who seems to be their enemy. Syaoran saw all this and just continued to look at the fight.
From the group of guys firing their gunshots, three of the guys seem to ordinary fighters who didn't seem to be interesting. But what got Syaoran's attention was the man who stood before the whole team with confidence assuming that he must be the leader and standing next to him is a guy about his age with silver hair and golden eyes as his second in command.
"What do we do now Touya?" said the silver haired man.
"Listen Yuki- we got to--" said Touya before he was cut off by the other group's ambush.
The other group jumped high in the air using the trash can lids to shield themselves from the gunshots. Each of them had their hands full fighting with each other one on one leaving only Touya to face against the other leader.
"We will end this today Touya" said the other leader.
"Yes we will Kei" replied Touya coldly.
The two began assulting towards each other. Both are locked in a hand and hand combat. Touya ducks down and tries to kick Kei's legs in an attempt to trip him. But it turns out to be a failure as Kei jumps high in the air and attempts to go back down preparing a kick aiming for Touya. Touya noticed this and quickly rolled out of the way avoiding Kei's air kick. Results from his kick left a huge crack on the ground. ( I don't want to spend too much time on the battle )
"What's the matter Touya?" said Kei taunting Touya for his poor performance. "We were just getting started."
Touya got back up using the wall to support himself but not until a shuriken was aimed at his shoulder to keep from escaping. Kei approached Touya and pulled out of dagger not surprising Touya knowing what he'll do.
"You couldn't have made this easier on me Touya but the Dragons end here" replied Kei smiling maliciously and laughing as he was about to stab Touya until he felt something landing on him. It was Syaoran. Syaoran pinned Kei down ( imagine it the same way Meiling pinned Syaoran down earlier) and popped out a dagger from his sleeve now aimed to slit his throat.
"Listen up!! Hold off your attack right now!! Do as I say if you don't want your leader dead!!!" said Syaoran seriously.
"Do as he says you idiots!!!!" said Kei
Syaoran punched Kei in the face "You don't get to talk only I do". Everyone dropped stopped what they were doing and retreated. Syaoran let go of Kei but not right before kicking him to his gang.
"THIS ISN'T OVER TOUYA!!" said Kei.
"Touya are you all right?" replied Yukito
"I'm fine Yuki, he only caught me off guard. Guess I need to sharpen up my skills a bit more." Touya approached Syaoran. Syaoran noticed this and began to go into a fighting stance.
"No need to be alarmed kid" "I just wanted to thank you for saving my life back there" said Touya .
"You're welcome" said Syaoran
"That move you pulled on Kei was impressive, tell me where did you learn that?" said Touya
Somehow that question brought back unpleasant memories for Syaoran. A depressed expression appeared on Syaorans face. Touya couldn't help but notice.
"Looks like your as lost as us too" said Touya sympathizing.
"Would you like to join our gang and live your life with us?" "Think of it as a way of gratitude for saving my life" "You're skills could be a great help to us".
With no where to go, Syaoran thought about the offer handed to him and how could he refuse. He always loved to fight and it wouldn't be a bad thing to get stronger.
"I accept"
