HEY GUYS! I'm really sorry I haven't been writing any story for almost one month now… too busy in school and I couldn't even touch this laptop…. Really sorry! Oh and! I'm VERY NEW in fanfiction! But don't worry! I know the rules (but not all of them) the story I first posted was My Only Hope with the pairing Syaoran and Sakura… aren't they cute? Hehe… But for those who reviewed it… I'm sorry but it was only meant to be a one shot… But at least you could enjoy this story perhaps?

This is also for SxS :

The Mannequin: Chapter 1 (The Photographer)

"BEEEEEEEEEEPPPP!" I groaned, I slammed my palm to my alarm clock making it stop ringing… I slowly lifted myself from the bed and removed the green silky sheets off my legs, I ran my fingers through my hair and sighed heavily… I looked at the alarm clock, It was already 7:15 am

"curses…" I whispered huskily.

I slowly made my way towards to my bathroom, I opened the door, there it revealed a GREEN bathroom, I smirked, I still haven't overcame my obsession to the color GREEN.

I stood in front of the HUGE mirror, it had light bulbs at the sides… making it look like this bathroom was for celebrities, to dress up and look good. Not my fault, I was stinkin' rich and my mother wanted it this way…

I stared at my reflection, My hair was VERY VERY messed up, with the color of chestnut brown, It had matched with my heart stopping amber eyes, well, that's what most people say… But I find it ordinary to me… I was topless with my boxers on, I had a well built body, strong chin, pointed nose, and a sexy voice…

I flinched, I've always hated to be this good-looking…

Girls always had tried their best to get me into their beds… and that's just plain disgusting! Girls who always wore thick make-ups would wink at me and smile devilishly. They just looked so… UGLY!

What I've always wanted in a girl, is innocence, a pure soul and heart, and even kind of a child at heart. A girl who would accept me for who I am, not for my money and looks.

I sighed, Why am I thinking about this early in the morning? I stripped myself and I turned on my shower…

I suddenly have this weird feeling that something surprising is going to happen today…

"okay, a little bit more… aaannndd.. pose!" I said a I clicked the button and came the bright flash, Then I stopped and stood up straight, "Good job, You're done" I said as I smiled to the model and she hurriedly went back to dressing room.

As for starters, I am Syaoran Li, a heir to the famous clan all over Japan and China, well you could say I'm obviously stinkin' rich (rolls my eyes) I'm a photographer, I love taking pictures, many people ask why am I not a model, well obviously, I don't want to be stripping and showing my body in a magazine, and even worse, ON THE BILLBOARD.

I am 20 years old, born in the 13th of July, favorite color is green, as for food, Dim sum, favorite hobby? Playing with my sword, It's for traditional purposes…

"Good Job Li-san! The pictures are amazing! You are truly talented, you can even capture the soul of the eyes of the model!" Kaho said, the manager of the models complimented me. I smiled in reply

"It was nothing, Ms. Kaho" I said..

"Oh! And ever heard of the famous young designer? Tomoyo Daidouji?" she asked

I raised a brow, then smirked "of course I know her, she's my cousin's girlfriend" I thought

"Yes I have." I replied "Well! I heard that she has a new project coming up! I love her designs! She's so amazing! Her styles are unique! It's called "The Wedding catalogue!" she chirped

I chuckled "is she thinking about marrying Eriol this time?" I thought

"I hope she picks you as her photographer! And who could be the model? Hmmm… I wonder" she murmured as she stared into space in deep thought, I smirked "she always chose me to be her photographer, in fact, I'm officially her photographer!"

My cellphone rang, I excused myself and went somewhere quiet, I looked in the screen, It was my cousin, Eriol..

"Yo?" I greeted

"Nice language" he said

I rolled my eyes "is there something you wanted me to do?" I asked

"Well, it's none other than.."

"Alright, I'll be there in an hour…" I said as I cut him off, knowing what he'll say.

"great! Thanks pal!" he said as he hung up. I shoved my phone into my pocket and left the room.

"have you called Eriol darling?" a sweet angelic voice said, "yes my love, he said he's going here in an hour!" Eriol chirped

The girl with long raven hair, rare amethyst eyes, and pale skin, turned around and hugged her boyfriend "Of course, he would always work for us!" she smiled cheerfully.

"Yes, My love… I can't help but think… he's always a bit lonely though…" Eriol frowned

"Yes, I noticed that too…" she said as she grinned evilly

"Oh no, Tomoyo, you are not setting him up in blind dates again, are you?" Eriol asked

"aww come on! He's 20! Not a teenager anymore! He isn't getting younger at all! The time will come when his mother will choose a bride for him, and… we don't want to let him have a loveless marriage now, do we?" Tomoyo said as she pecked the cheeks of her boyfriend.

"yes darling, I agree, but don't you think we should leave him alone for awhile? He seems to be so troubled with his life now…" Eriol said

Tomoyo just nodded and she let go of Eriol "Now help me prepare some stuff. He'll be here in an hour just like what you said." She said as she carried some boxes into her storage room

They were preparing for some gowns for the models… But that reminds Tomoyo something…

"Oh No!" Tomoyo slapped her forehead.

"What is it?" Eriol asked in concern

"I totally forgot! I haven't picked any models for this new project!" she said

"it's okay, there are many models out there who would want to do this project" Eriol said

"yeah, but, They're not good enough! I want someone very potential! Someone like…."

"Nope, Syaoran is not gonna be modeling for us" Eriol warned and Tomoyo sweat dropped

"Alright, fine… but I was gonna say, Someone like…." Tomoyo paused

"LIKE SAKURA!" she roared.

Eriol's gaze shifted to a certain Mannequin across the room, The doll had long slim legs, short aurburn hair, and emerald green plastic eyes, even a perfect pink lips, Tomoyo named her favorite doll Sakura, he raised an eyebrow "are you saying you want a doll to be modeling for us?" he asked

"Eriol, Sakura isn't an ordinary doll you know! She's special!" Tomoyo pouted childishly.

"Yeah yeah I know, I mean look at her, she's so perfect, stunningly beautiful, and surely nobody can ever match her beauty, Why? Simple. She's a doll!" Eriol sighed

"I know that! I just wanted someone like her…" Tomoyo sighed too.

Tomoyo stared at the doll, standing in the corner, smiling perfectly, showing her perfect teeth.

She had spent to much money to create a doll like her, She was so perfect, that she almost looked like a real person

"I wish you were a real person Sakura" Tomoyo said and Eriol sweat dropped. Great, now she's talking to a doll… he thought.

Soon they left the room. Leaving the doll standind in the corner of the room, that was slightly dim and empty… A whisper came into the dark empty room

"Me too, I wish I was a human being… I wish you knew I have a soul inside me, in this plastic body, Tomoyo" The dolls beautiful emerald eyes became glassy and a tear hit the floor, echoing throughout the room.

I know it's short! But this is just the first chapter, and besides I really have to go now! But I assure you, it'll get longer and better in the next few chapters, this is just the FIRST CHAPTER…

This is my second story, so please be gentle and give me kind words, but you have to tell what's wrong and what should I do, and maybe I could even do better in the next chapter…

Somehow, this idea popped out when I was Peeing in my bathroom… (WEIRD RIGHT? O_O)

Anyway! I hope you liked this one!

And please…. REVIEW? :D

Ja ne!

Love, Amber Blossom
