Disclaimer: I don't own CCS ok…but… I own some other few characters that will be showing up LATER!!

A long time ago, in a place called Hidora, eight magical rings of great power existed. These rings which have a mind of their own enables the wearer to posses great power and together, these rings enable Hidora to be a peaceful land that prevent invaders to invade. But one day, a crafty wizard found the rings. Before he can destroy the rings, the rings disperse themselves all over Hidora. From that day onwards, the people of Hidora suffered terribly. Until one day the eight magical rings became active again in their hiding place as they have found their rightful owner and they began plotting on how to let themselves be found…

The Legend Of the Rings

Chapter 1: The Beginning

" Huff…puff…Eriol… we must… run… faster or… we will… be late."

" I know! So, stop talking and start running!"

Two boys of the age 15 are running across the streets of a city where all the buildings are old and on the verge of crumbling. The first boy talking has brown hair and he wears a green T-shirt, a dark green pants and a brown sleeve-less jacket. The second boy that's talking has dark blue hair and he wears a blue shirt, a black ¾ pants and a dark brown jacket with sleeves been folded up to the elbow. The two boys turn to a corner and ran to a red building.

RING!

The boy wearing green had pulled a bell that's hanging on the door.

" You're * almost * late, boys."

A young woman of age 20 greeted them. She wears a brown dress and has long red hair.

" Gomen ne, Mizuki Sensei. We woke up late."

" Oh, I thought it was * you *, Syaoran. You went to sleep only at 1am!"

" How did you know? I thought you were asleep."

" Mum told me this morning when you were still snoring, my cute little brother."

" Kisama!"

" Yes? Any problem?"

" Cut it out boys! Come on, get in to the classroom."

With that, the two brothers walked into the building, followed by their teacher.

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

In the classroom,

" Ok class, please turn to page 40 of your history text book. Now, who can tell me…"

Syaoran, the one wearing green, looked out of the window.

//Another boring day// thought Syaoran.

//That stupid Eriol, wait until I get my hands on him…hope there is something hard enough to hit his bloody * hard * head //

" Syaoran!"

Syaoran jumped a little. Then he realized that his teacher was talking to him.

" Er… yes?"

" Are you day dreaming again?"

"Er… if I say no, will you believe me?"

The teacher then smiled.

" Well, I think I wouldn't believe it. Forget it then, but stop doing that, Ok?"

Syaoran let out a sigh and then nodded. Then he noticed that Eriol, instead of the usual sniggering or smirking, give him a serious look. After that, he stood up and answered a question asked by the teacher.

As Syaoran continued to stare at Eriol, his classmate that was sitting beside him gave him a note. Syaoran opened it up and read it. And this is what the letter wrote:

When you were being * scolded *, I saw two people running towards Uncle Johnson's house. Let's go and check it out after school.

After reading it, Syaoran looks at Eriol and nods.

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

RIIINNNNNGG!!!!!

" Class dismiss"

Eriol and Syaoran grab their bags and run out of the school, towards their uncle's house. Before they reach there, Eriol tapped Syaoran's shoulder and points to the direction in front of them.

Also running towards their uncle's house are two girls of the same age as them. One of them, who have brown hair, wears a pink dress with pink shorts and a brown long sleeve jacket. The other, who have dark purple hair that's being plaited up, wears a purple long sleeve shirt which she had folded up to her elbow, a dark brown shorts and a sleeve-less dark brown jacket.

" Hey! Stop there!" Syaoran shouted, running in front of the girl to stop her from progressing further.

The girl wearing pink stops abruptly but the other girl went on running.

" Eriol, you go after the other girl. I'll deal with this one."

"Ok."

(A/N: The reason why both of them were so anxious of their uncle is because their uncle had treated them like his own sons as their father had died when they were very young.)

Syaoran then turn and look at the girl wearing pink.

" Who are you?"

The girl raised an eyebrow.

" My name is Sakura."

" Well, what are you doing at my uncle's house?"

Sakura raised an eyebrow again.

" Oh, that's really none of your business. I guess that you won't move away, right?"

" Of course."

" Oh well, too bad, had to do it again…" Sakura sighed.

And with that, Sakura takes out a small ring of pure silver with one single jewel on it and put it on her middle finger of her right hand. Then she starts to chant something:

Oh Lady of the Mighty Strong Wind,

Help me defeat this person that I've met,

Let me use your Powerful Wind!

WIND BIND!!!

And from her hand emerge a gust of wind and it wraps itself tightly around Syaoran, preventing him from moving.

" What the… Hey! That was summoning! How did you do that?"

Sakura smiled and said, " With this ring of course. Anyway, the wind will disappear after 2 hours. So, enjoy your time!"

With that, she starts running again.

" HEY! COME BACK HERE!" Syaoran shouted after her.

Sakura giggled, waved at him, and disappeared out of sight.

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Meanwhile…

" Huff…puff…that girl really knows how to run…"

" Tomoyo-chan! Use the ring now!" came a voice from behind him. He turns around and saw the girl wearing pink.

Then he, before he knew it, Eriol's legs are bounded up by tree roots.

" Tomoyo-chan, why don't you use Wind Bind?" said Sakura, running up.

" Oh…yeah… anyway, what about the other boy?"

" Bounded by Wind Bind."

" Good. Well, lets hurry up."

" HAI!"

With that, they ran off, leaving Eriol with very confused thoughts.



Two hours later…

" Wonder how long this thingy's going to bind me…"

Syaoran stares at the gust of wind * that * is still binding him. He had been grumbling to himself for the last two hours.

// Darn this thing! Ouch! Arrgg…my butt hurts…seems like I have been sitting to long…//

At this moment, the gust of wind start to rotate around Syaoran, then slowly disappear.

Syaoran stares at himself, and then sweat drops.

" Anyway, wonder how's Eriol…" he said, dusting himself.

Then he sets off running towards the direction of Eriol.

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

" Argg…these stupid roots just wouldn't bulge…hmm…wondered how's Syaoran…"

Eriol, on the other hand, had been * standing * for the last two hours. He felt very * very * stiff, and he was, like Syaoran, grumbling to no one for the last one hour, after realizing that he had lost his patience.

Then all of the sudden, the roots start to quiver and they went back into the ground, leaving a crack.

Eriol stares at the ground.

//Oh well…//

" Eriol!"

Eriol turns around and saw Syaoran.

" Hey Syaoran, where were you?"

" Me? Oh I've been at the starting place all along, cause that girl bind me up with some wind. Well, I think she is not a normal person. She knows summoning. * Summoning *, you know."

" Summoning? Well, the other girl tied me up with some roots…"

" Hmmmmm… maybe Uncle Johnson might know something…."
