Story:
Chapter 1: Syaoran's dream
---Mei Lin's POV---
It began ten years ago, when I was 12. Due to my mother's demise, I had to transfer to my dad's house which was in Tomoeda. There I met and became a part of the Incrediblez. It's a gang of 6 – myself, Tomoyo Daidouji, Eriol Hiirigizawa, Ryu Shimo and the inseparable 'Sakura Kinomoto' and 'Syaoran Li'. Ever since I set my eyes on them, I just knew that both Syaoran and Sakura are meant to be together. They were such a cute couple.
Like someone has said, "True love is a gamble; you can't find love unless you place something on the line. You give to get." They never got a chance to understand this. Will they ever get a chance? Will they understand?
---How to start their story??? ---
A man in black robs with a sun and moon crest on his chest had a staff on his hand.His staff wasn't the normal staff as we all know. It had a Golden rod, with the sun on the very top. At the base of the Sun was the Moon – especially a quarterly moon. It was clear that both the planetary powers were under his control. His face was unclear, that only his chestnut brown hair and amber eyes could be sighted. A set of card floats around him and he was being protected by two beasts. A silvery haired heavenly human with wings and a beast, 'like the lion in Chronicles of Narnia' with wings being were positioned on his right and his left.
The man selected a card named Windy from the set of floating cards. He raised his staff and chanted RELEASE. A magical fairy arose from the card and flew towards a huge bundle of books… BOOKS???
BEEEEEPPPPP
It was the alarm clock. Groaning, he started shifting in annoyance. He finally reached over and, after a few whips; he managed to hit the snooze button. He??? Syaoran grumbled as the early morning sunlight hit his face. He had trouble sleeping last night, so sunlight was the last thing he wanted to see right then. He had never been a dawn person, but the cold morning air made it that much harder to leave the warm sanctity of the covers. He wanted to continue his sleep, spooning comfortably until an irritating beep shattered the silence. But rolling over his eyes fluttered open, he started to think about his vision, 'the chestnut brown haired man' and 'his companions' were now frequently visiting him in his dreams.
"Oh…. It was just a dream. Why do I keep on seeing this stupid dream?" Syaoran mumbled, still in a state of shock. Looking at the time, it read 6.30. He dragged himself out of bed. He had to finish studying the phrases, because today he gonna write his Japanese finale.
Our finales were going on. We were to depart each other within few weeks or months, to our new destination - University.
Syaoran, 17, was a cool young guy with messy chocolate brown hair and sharp amber eyes. He was a normal cum serious boy who went to school, listened to his teachers and mother and did his work; spend time with his friends and went to sleep. That's his normal day.
Along with that Syaoran was quite a handsome guy, but he never noticed it. Girls drooled all over him, but he brushed them off like pesky flies. He was rude and looked down on all of them except me, Tomoyo and especially Sakura. Sometimes none of the kids at school could understand him even us, but Sakura, she could always say what he was thinking and understands him perfectly.
He lived with his widowed mom, Yelan Li, an independent woman. She was a mother who keeps a lot of secrets from her son, because she didn't want him to be like his dad. But she wanted him to be Mama's boy. His dad died when he was only 2. Ever since then Syaoran and his mom left his father's people. In spite of their search, they could never find them. You may now think what these secrets are…
The Li clan was one of the most powerful, ancient and richest clans in the world. It's actually rumored to be one of those clans that raise true leaders due to severe and strict training from the elders. Some would say that those bearded / droopy-eyed guys and the main Li Family are magical. Yes, they are indeed magical. She didn't tell her son that he was the direct descendent of Clow-Reed. That his dad was a Card-master, one day like his dad he also has to become a Card-master. But in order to become one some tests are to be passed. Jesus, he didn't know he was the next Card-master, moreover he didn't even know that he was a sorcerer. She didn't want her son to become a Card-master like his dad putting him in danger. Moreover she didn't want to lose him like she lost her husband.
---Breakfast---
While he was taking his breakfast with his mom, he had a Japanese book in his hand. In order to break the silence, he narrated the dream to his mother.
"Mom"
"Yes, Syaoran"
"That weird dream… it happened again"
"What?"
"Someone with cards… and it looked as it he was being protected by two beasts… I don't know what it means"
She was a bit stunned, "May be you are spending too much time with the playing cards"
"Mom, don't be silly… I think its dad"
"Your dad??? You got to be joking!!" She started laughing. "Isn't it your time to go to school? You are getting late. Hurry up now." She cunningly changed the topic whenever Syaoran asked about dad and his dreams.
He glanced at his watch and murmured, "Have to pick Sakura from her home. I'm leaving."
"Good luck for your exam"
He ran out with books in his hand as Sakura's house was just 5 minute walk from his home. He always walk with her to school, it has become a routine for him. And moreover he enjoyed spending time with her.
Yelan was glad that Syaoran left without any further reference to the dreams, because she never wanted to her son to find anything about the cards and she feared with any more inquires she may slip something related it to him. But she was pleased, as she had the assurance that he wouldn't become a Card-master, since he don't have any idea about any tests he had to undergo before becoming one.
Why was Yelan hiding these stuffs from Syaoran? Will he ever find out what the tests are? Will he ever own Clow-Reed's cards?
