***Starry Night***
Prelude
A cold wind blew across the scarred plain. Out here, nothing survived longer than a day, even if that. Out here, death roamed freely. This was a place that no one should have to venture to, until it was time. But on this lonely plain, a single boy roamed aimlessly. Without a purpose left to live for, and nothing to guied him but his will.
In this awful place, the night was constant. For even when there should be daylight, black clouds cover the sky, leaving the feild cold and dark without any vegetation. Why was a young boy out in this hellish place by himself?
Mabye this boy should be introduced first. He had messy brown hair, that was always soft to the touch. He was somewhat tall. For his age. This boy was only about 12 years old. His name was Li Xiao Lang, but he is more commonly known as Li Syaoran. His name isn't important though. To his clan, he was dead. Forever. Just for one failed mission he had to leave, before he was killed. So he found himself in the Valley of the Walking Dead.
Syaoran turned his face up to the sky. The night sky was filled with numerous stars. The only time one could see the sky at all. The light of the stars reflected in Syaoran's beautiful amber eyes. Those eyes used to be so different. Once cold, and hard, then warm and welcoming, but now things were in his eyes that had never been there before. Defeat. Extreme sorrow.
He continued to gaze at the stars silently. Thinking of only one thing. A certain girl...with bright emralde eyes. Tears began to stream from his eyes, and fell to the green cloth of his ceremonial robes.
"How am I going to come back to her now? I have been cast away from my clan, and... All because I didn't get the damned Clow Cards," Syaoran asked himself sadly. He fell onto his knees, overcome with greif. Then he did something that he hadn't done in a long time. He cried. He cried into his hands, making his body shake with sobs. "Sakura..." he murmured through his tears, "I promised to come back...but...I can't..."
Syaoran felt a warm presence near by and lifted his tearstained face to see what it was. His amber eyes widened. Standing before him was a woman cloaked in white. She had long, streaming green hair, and eyes as blue as the daytime sky.
"Syaoran," she murmured softly, and held out a hand for Syaoran to take.
Syaoran was cautious, and leaned back, from that hand. "Who are you?" he called.
The woman smiled gently. "I am Hikari. Syaoran please take my hand. I promise that no more harm will come to you ever again," she comforted him in soothing tones.
Syaoran stood up and walked towards Hikari.
Hikari smiled as he took her hand. She drew him close to her chest. "Syaoran-chan," she cooed, "it's okay now. You are back where you belong now. Don't worry about breaking the promise to her. Don't be afraid that you won't be able to keep it, for you can Syaoran."
Syaoran's eyes widened. "What do you mean 'where I belong'?"
Hikari shushed him gentely. "That will be answered later on. Syaoran."
"Okay then," Syaoran agreed, leaning into Hikari's warm embrace. "Then tell me how I am to keep my promise to come back to her, when I'm...I'm.." Syaoran couldn't make himself say what he wanted too. It was painful to think about.
Hikari stroaked Syaoran's hair gently. "You will be able to keep that promise. Also, you'll be able to watch over your love. Syaoran, you are going back to her. But for now, sleep Syaoran. The journey will be long."
Syaoran shut his eyes gratefully. This woman was so familiar to him...but form where? Syaoran fell asleep against Hikari's warm body. She rose into the air, holding him gently. They both vanished among the stars.
Mabye something important should be said about Syaoran. The reason why he knew that he couldn't keep his promise to Sakura. Li Syaoran was dead, and had been dead for several days.
