Chapter 1

The beginning of the past

There was once a ship which sailed in a sea called ' The Sea Of A Thousand Questions.' It sailed proudly in the sea bringing fifty men and women in it. It's destiny was towards an island…an island that it could never reach. But the people didn't know about it until a big storm hit the ship and caused it to sink.

On the night the tragedy happened, a man and a woman were about to be united when they realized that the ship was sinking. It happened too fast that no one was able to save themselves….not even the couples.

They tried to reach each other hands so that they can be united or at least die together but the sea wouldn't allow them. It separated them far away from each other until their last breath.

But before their death, together they cursed the sea…the evil sea which torn them apart, take away their lives, destroy their dreams they were about to build, that every 10 years , the sea will bring death to others as the price of their miserable death.

" Aunty, you're looking for me?" asked a young teenage girl as she approached to her aunt.

She was wearing a white dress, a simple plain white dress and yet she looks rather pretty. She has a pair of very attracting sparkling green emerald eyes and perfect black eyelashes. She looks like an angel when she smiled with her sexy red cherry lips. A very perfect beautiful angel.

" Yes, Sakura." The woman she called aunty replied.

This woman was indeed a beautiful woman of age about almost forty. She has the same attracting green emerald eyes like Sakura's and a fair smooth skin except that she has a long curly honey-brown hair. Her name was Nadeshiko.

" What is it, aunty?" Sakura asked Nadeshiko.

" You know about the guests I've been telling you these few days?" asked Nadeshiko. Her eyes were sparkling with delight.

" Yes. You told me that they are coming here within this week but you're not sure when or which day they're coming, right?" Sakura tried to remember, looking rather confused.

" Guess what? They're coming today. Today!" Nadeshiko shouted merrily as she danced around the room, holding Sakura's hands and jumping with joy.

" Really? That's great!" Sakura rejoiced and joined Nadeshiko dancing around thee room. They looked like two beautiful angels dancing merrily with no worries…only happiness.

" When will they come here, aunty?" Sakura asked, still dancing happily.

" About noon." Nadeshiko answered.

Suddenly, Sakura stopped dancing. Her face turned solemn.

" Why? What's the matter?" Nadeshiko asked worriedly, looking straight into Sakura's green eyes.

Sakura didn't say any single word. Only her sweet little finger pointed at the clock which was leaning against the wall.

Slowly, Nadeshiko turned her head towards the clock. Then she looked back at Sakura.

" IT IS NOON!" They both shouted.

" Okay Sakura. Calm down. What'd we have to do is..is..Ah! What are we gonna do!" Nadeshiko panicked, shaking Sakura's petite body.

" Calm down, aunty. Listen to me." Sakura said calmly, trying to comfort Nadeshiko.

" You go and fetch them at the harbour and I'll stay here and prepare their rooms," she continued.

" Right. Good girl, Sakura." Nadeshiko smiled and pat Sakura's head.

" Oh, aunty! Stop calling me girly! I'm gonna be 16 in a few more days!" Sakura protested.

" Sorry Sakura. I forgot you're a grown up lady now. But I still like to call you girly." Nadeshiko giggled and went out of the house, leaving Sakura alone with her childish angry looking face.

" Huh!" Sakura sighed.

" Now I'll have to clean their bedrooms, change the bedsheets, arrange the pillows….do this..do that.." Sakura muttered to herselfas she headed towards the bedrooms.

" What took aunty so long?" Sakura sighed.

It's only about 20 minutes aince Nadeshiko left to pick the guests from the harbour. Sakura was the one who was getting impatient to meet the guests.

She sat on the chair outside the corridor, trying to wait patiently. Aminute later, she wandered around the house, in the garden and back to the corridor.

" Hey, Sakura! How's ya' doin'?"

A young man about Sakura's age suddenly came from nowhere appreared in front of the gate asked. Well, he was a little older than she is.

" Just doing 'great' Eriol!" Sakura answered, waving at Eriol.

Eriol was her best friend since she was a kid.

He walked towards Sakura, a smile carved on his face.

Then he said, " Actually, your brother asked me to tell you that you owned him something."

" Touya? What did I…? Hoeee! I forgot!" Sakura suddenly screamed and started to run on the streets.

" Tell aunty I couldn't help her to prepare dinner for the guests tonight! I'll exchange dinner with a breakfast tomorrow!" Sakura shouted, telling Eriol, as she ran as fast as she could on the streets.

" Yeah, sure." Eriol murmured as he sat on the chair on the corridor, waiting for Nadeshiko.

" Leaving me again doing your chores…" he sighed.

Just as Eriol watched Sakura disappeared from the streets, Nadeshiko came in bringing her guests.

" Glad you came back early aunty." Eriol smiled. He was thankful that he didn't need to wait long there.

" Oh, Eriol! Where's Sakura?" Nadeshiko asked confusedly.

" Touya called her and she ran straight away to him." Eriol explained shortly.

Nadeshiko just nodded.

" Aunty, are they the guests?" Eriol asked, almost sounded like whispering as he looked at them.

" Oh, yes. Let me introduce them to you." Nadeshiko replied, bringing her guests forward.

" Eriol, this is Madam Yelan and her foster daughter, Tomoyo." Nadeshiko introduced them.

Madam Yelan was a woman about the age of Nadeshiko and has a long raven hair.

And Tomoyo, the young lady, has the same age as Sakura and she has a very sweet smile and a long hair too.

" Hello," Eriol greeted, smiling at both of them, especially Tomoyo. He doesn't know why but his heart beats quickly each time he looked at her.

" So, Eriol. What is your age my dear?" Madam Yealn asked.

" I'm about to be 18." Eriol answered.

" That's wonderful! I have a son too about your age and his name is Syaoran." Madam Yelan smiled happily.

" Really? But…I didn't see him. Is he here?" Eriol asked as his flickering eyes searching around.

" Well, yes. But Syaoran is a type of boy who must always wonders around. He can't stay doing nothing in the house. He was the first person getting out of the harbour and only God knows where he is now." Madam Yelan sighed.

" That's okay Madam Yelan. I'll bring him for a walk tomorrow then," Eriol said as he waved goodbye to them and went away.

" And by the way aunty," Eriol stopped and turned back towards Nadeshiko.

" Sakura asked me to tell you that she has something else to do and couldn't help you to prepare dinner for tonight. She'll exchange it by preparing breakfast for tomorrow." Eriol told Nadeshiko. Remembering every single words Sakura told him.

" You sure have a good memory Eriol," Nadeshiko smiled at him.

" Thanks aunty. Goodbye now. I'll see you all tomorrow then," he laughed and went on his way.

" He's such a nice boy, isn't he Tomoyo?" Madam Yelan smiled as she entered the house following Nadeshiko.

" He sure is.." Tomoyo carved a smile on her face as she watched Eriol disappearing from her eyes.
