Chapter One: Trip to Fate

Where am I? Sakura thought as she walked around a strangely familiar place.

She looked around and saw a fountain in a clearing of a forest, not too far from where she was standing. Giggling, she ran towards it and started to splash the water. As she looked dreamily into the water, she felt two strong arms wrap themselves around her waist. She jumped out of shock as she heard the owner of the arms whisper, "Aishiteru, Sakura"She turned around and gazed into a pair of soft amber pools.

"KINOMOTO! WAKE UP!" The teacher turned purple as she screamed into Sakura's ear. She had, once again, fallen asleep during class and she groggily woke up to find everyone gone. She looked at the clock. 4:00 pm…

"HOOOOEE! I'm gonna miss the bus! Gomen-nasai sensei!" She grabbed her things and ran towards the bus stop , but the bus driver was too ignorant to let her on the bus. Downcast, she started to walk towards her home, which would, again, be another hour to walk.

"Sakura!" She looked up and grinned to see her friend, Tomoyo, in her trusty limousine. "You wanna ride?"

"Sure!" replied Sakura. "Um.. if it's not a big deal"

"Omigosh Saku, how many times do I have to tell you? I mean we've only been best friends all our lives NOT TO MENTIOn that you ARE my cousin of COURSE it's not a big deal now get in before I have to tie you to the roof."

Sakura giggled as she hopped into the car and gratefully thanked the chauffer who gave her a small smile in return. She was always so kind and thankful.

"So, what are you doing this summer Saku?" asked Tomoyo

"Um.. I guess I'll study?"

"NANI? Sakura, you can't study in summer. It's illegal to the code of teenagers! Come with me. My mom's going to Hong Kong for a conference and she said I could bring you. Come on it'll be fun! I can design your clothes, and I can buy lots of fabric, and ooooo I can even get you in a fashion show! …." Sakura giggled and blushed furiously as Tomoyo babbled on about how she would make Sakura beautiful even though she was the most beautiful person in Tomoeda.

Tomoeda. Her hometown. She had grown up there along with Tomoyo. She had also grown up with a guy. The guy. He had broken her heart.

Flashback

Sakura had a genuine smile on as she ran through the halls to where she was to meet her boyfriend, and longtime childhood friend, Ryu. She was half an hour early, but she didn't care. She was too excited. But as she turned the corner, her heart shattered into pieces as she saw her boyfriend kissing a girl. Yet it wasn't just a girl. This girl was like her younger sister. "S – S – Saku! Um.. it's not what it looks like!" "Oni-chan! I'm sorry! It's just, It's just –" the little girl didn't have time to respond because Sakura ran home as fast as she could, with tears streaming down her face"

back to normal

Tears formed but she quickly wiped them away so Tomoyo wouldn't notice. She had promised she would be strong. She had promised herself she would never again let a guy hurt her.

In Hong Kong

"Syaoraaaan!" girls giggled as the famous heir to the Li Clan walked through the streets. "Stupid Girls," he muttered. He had had a bad experience with girls. He thought they all hounded him and wanted his money and his good looks. His cousin, Meiling was the only person he knew that actually liked him for his personality, but she had broken off their engagement for another guy by the name of Bret.

As he was driving home, he thought about his position as the famous heir to the Li Clan. He didn't want to be the heir. He wanted to live his own life. Not the life his family had set out for him. He hated the elders for pressing upon him the duties and the ways of the Li family and just wanted to scream at them and run away. But then, he'd have the problem of wild barbarian girls.

He closed the door of his room and frowned. He hated girls. They were the weirdest creatueres. Growing up with 4 crazy sisters and a psycho cousin didn't help either. So he had established the fact that girls were monsters or aliens. Thus, he would never fall in love… or so he thought.
