Hi. This is another Card captor story. There is only two made up people in
this story, and their names are Sayau Lee and Bryan Kent. Sakura and her
friends are 18 years old and are attending high school. Eriol had moved
back to England but keeps in touch with his friends. Li had left after
every thing with the cards was over. Sayau is 18 years old, but Bryan is 19
though. Bryan has feelings for Madison and has no idea that Eriol was the
one who had captured her heart years ago; he didn't even know Eriol
existed.
The title for this story is: Behind the Emerald green

It was a hot spring morning, and Madison was busy tending to her roses in her room. "There, now all I need is some wrapping paper and a ribbon. Then I can give it to Sayau to give it to Meilin." Then all of a sudden, Eriol appeared out of nowhere and Madison was so surprised that she accidentally pricked her finger on a rose thorn. She pretended it was nothing and smiled. "Oh, hi Eriol, I didn't know you were coming." "Hi Madison, sorry to drop in like this but I just had to talk to you about. Madison? Daijobu desu ka?" "Hai, daijobu." She answered. "You pricked your finger though, here." And Eriol walked closer to Madison and kissed her finger, and then wounded area disappeared. Madison blushed. "Arigato."
While at Sayau's house, "I hope Madison gets those roses over soon, or I'll be late for my date with Meilin and with out the roses either." Sayau walked around the living room worriedly. Just then, Madison phoned and told him that the flowers were ready and for him to come pick it up. When she hung up, Eriol told her that he would come back to Japan in two months and stay for a year or so. Madison was so happy she hugged him. Eriol hugged her back and smiled. "Oh, by the way Madison. Don't tell Sakura yet, but I believe Syaoran is coming back here tomorrow." "Really? Wow! I can't wait." Just then the bell rung, and Sayau came in. "Eriol, nice to see you again." "Hey Sayau." "Syaoran is coming back tomorrow." "Great, can't wait to see him. Hey Madison. Have you got the roses?" "Here you go." "Thanks, bye." Replied Sayau as he left as quickly as he had came.
When Sayau had gotten over to Meilin's apartment Meilin looked pretty mad. "Sayau, you're late." She stated. "Yes, but for a good reason." He answered as he pulled out the roses for Meilin. "Oh my god! These are the most beautiful roses in all of Japan! Thank you so much." Meilin said excitedly as she took the roses and kissed Sayau on the cheek.
Sayau smiled, "They're the best because Madison grew them and you know just how unique and special they are. I was going to pay her for it but she said I didn't have to as long as I took care of it too. And of course I took extra good care of it for you." Meilin giggled and blushed a bit. "Thanks Sayau!" said Meilin, as she smelled the beautiful scent of the roses.
The bouquet roses were unique. It was white with a bit of red on the tip, like blood on white. It was beautiful.
While in China, Li was a middle of a meeting with the elders. "But you are the leader of the Li clan!" the 1 elder stated. "I have to go and that is my decision." Said Li. "You have failed the clan in getting the clow cards, and now you are not even taking your destiny as the leader of the clan!" exclaimed the 2 elder. "You can not change destiny. The clow mistress was destined to have the clow cards not me. I am still the leader of the Li clan, I just need to go back to Japan." Stated Li. "Do you have a good reason why?" asked the 3 elder. "I gave someone my word, and as the leader of the Li clan, I can not go back on my word." Li closed his eyes, thinking of her smile and signed.
"And is this person the Clow Mistress? We elders have heard a certain rumor that you have fallen in love with her, is this true?" the 4 elder asked. Li blushed and looked away slightly. "As the leader of the Li clan, I will not lie, and the truth is yes." Answered Li.
Yelan was not shocked when she heard her son say that. She knew all along that her son and the Clow Mistress were destined to be together since the day her son had come back from Japan. The look in his eyes told her everything she needed to know.
"Please Elders. My son has his reasons and I believe he will bring great honor to the Li clan if he went. Please understand." Yelan pleaded.
Sakura and Li hadn't seen each other in 7 years, but they had only stayed in contact for 5 years. Li couldn't stand another moment without Sakura in his life. Everyday he would dream about going back just to see her smiling face, but it was just a dream.
"Well, we trust your instincts, Yelan, so we'll let him go, but he must be back within 1 year." Said the 5 elderly. "But, he will have to pick a wife by the time he turns 20." Said the 6 elderly. Then all the elders nodded their heads in agreement. "Thank you." Said Yelan and Li as they bowed and left the room.
Li thanked his mother before he went over to his room and started packing for his trip to Japan. Li was finally happy in 2 years. He just hoped that Sakura had waited for him all these years.
As Li was packing, he saw a picture of him and Sakura. It was when they had the Valentine dance and Li had asked Sakura to go with him. Sakura was hugging him and he was actually smiling. He hugged her back of course and blushed. Madison had somehow taken a picture of that. Li smiled. He was going to see Sakura very soon.
While at Kinomoto's residence, "Tori! Have you seen Kero?" asked Sakura. Sakura had told her family about the clow cards a year after it was over.
"No! Have you checked the fridge?" asked Tori. "No, I'll check now." Said Sakura as she walked into the kitchen. "KERO!" she yelled, "What are you doing? I told you I would bring you some dessert after I finished my homework." "I got hungry." Whined Kero.
Sakura had changed a lot now, since Li had left. She always tried to finish her homework first instead of leaving it for the last second.
Sakura grabbed Kero and headed upstairs. "How are we suppose to throw a welcome back party for dad if you keep eating all the desserts?" said Sakura. "Buy more." Suggested Kero. Sakura sweat dropped. "But you keep eating it." Sakura said with a sigh.
Sakura's father had a business trip to attend to, and was coming back the day after tomorrow.
At Zachary's house, Chelsea was trying to teach Zachary, how not to tell tall tales. "Zachary? Who invented the light bulb?" asked Chelsea. "Well it was Tomas Edison. and. did you know that back then, when Tom was still." started Zachary but was stopped when Chelsea slapped him on the head.
Just then the phone rang. "Hello?" asked Chelsea. "Chelsea? Hey, do you have the book I lent you?" asked Nikki. "Yes." Replied Chelsea. "I need it back soon, so can you give it back to me on Monday?" she asked. "Sure thing." Answered Chelsea. "So, have you taught Zachary a lesson yet?" giggled Nikki. Chelsea sweat dropped and let out a sigh. "I'm still working on it." Nikki laughed. "Well, bye." Said Nikki as she hung up. "Bye." Replied Chelsea as she hung up.
That night Li was at the airport getting ready to leave for Japan. "Bye mother." Said Li as he entered the plane. "Bye my son, and good luck." She whispered. Li sat down in the private part of the plane. It had the most luxurious couches and everything. Li couldn't wait until he saw Sakura again.
While at Madison's house, "Walter, can you set up the balloons?" asked Madison. "Yes Madame." Answered one of Madison's butlers. "Thanks." Said Madison. "Michael? Did you get the cake ready?" she asked. "Yes Madame, there's just the chocolate icing left to finish." Answered one of the chefs. "Thanks." Madison smiled, she was going to throw Li a big welcome back party tomorrow, and she had asked her chefs to bake an extra large chocolate cake. The cake had 8 layers. There were all sorts of different types of fruits on it as well as other things.
"Kate? Have you made the invitations I designed?" asked Madison. "Yes Miss, and I have already told the delivery men, and they are already delivering them. "Thank you." Said Madison. "Your welcome Miss." Smiled Kate. "Sakura will be so happy!" Madison told her mother. "Yes, she will. You're very nice to have done this for her." Smiled her mother. "Well, that's the least I could do. She's my best friend, and I like to see her happy." Smiled Madison. If it weren't for Sakura, she wouldn't have me Eriol for one thing.
That night Sakura looked at the teddy bear Li had given her before going to bed. "When are you coming back Li? I miss you so much." She whispered before falling asleep. Her eyes had begun to water. "Sakura." sighed Kero, "That kid." then Kero too, fell asleep. Tori had peered into Sakura's room to check on her before going to bed, and he saw her tears rolling onto her pillow. "Sakura.. Can't you just forget him?" 'I knew that little brat would cause my sister pain, but I never suspected this kind of pain.' Tori sighed.
The next morning Li had woken up on the plane. He was trained to be alert at all times so when they had landed he felt it and woke up. "I'm finally here." He sighed. Li wasn't so sure he should have come now, 'What if Sakura moved on and fell in love with someone else?" Li thought nervously to himself. He quickly took out his cellular phone and called Meilin.
*Hello? *
"Hello? Meilin it's me. I just landed in Japan."
*Li? Hey Cuss! That's great! You have to meet my boyfriend. So how long are you staying and where are you staying? *
"Only for a year. I'm staying at a mansion a few blocks away from Madison's house I think."
*Oh, so when are you going to visit Sakura? *
Li blushed, "Well, I. I. um. I was hoping. well. but.I would. don't ask."
Meilin laughed. *I'll tell Wei to pick you up. *
"Thanks." Said Li as he hung up. Meilin smiled.
While at Madison's Mansion, Madison had woken up early. She wanted to make sure everything would go perfectly. Meilin and her had a plan. She quickly called Meilin.
*Hello*
"Meilin, are you awake?"
*Yes, I was awake an hour ago. I couldn't wait*
"Great, then let's get everything ready."
*Yea! I'm just about to pick up Li*
"Then I better call Sakura and give her the latest design I made for her." Madison squealed. Meilin Laughed as they hung up.
Li was looking at his watch. "Meilin better get here soon. I don't want to waist another moment. If there is anyone trying to hurt Sakura, anyone at all. I'm going to beat the crap out of him." Li said quietly. Li had been training really hard. It was difficult for him in China; he had to juggle his homework, training and responsibility around. That's one of the reasons why he liked Japan. It was one place where he had friends that didn't care about his money or him being the leader of the well-known Li clan.
"Hey Xiolang!" yelled Meilin as she ran towards him and hugged him. "Meilin can you get of me?" Li asked. "That was very nice of you. How about some gratitude." Meilin laughed. Li sweat dropped. Wei then came up and bowed politely to Li. "Master." "Get up Wei, you don't need to bow toward me in Japan." Said Li.
Wei got up and took all of Li's luggages onto the car. Li insisted to do the driving so Meilin sat at the back sit and Wei sat in front. It was a lightning red sports car. New in the marketing area and very expensive. There was auto drive with it and leather sits.
*Ring, ring* Sakura woke up and picked up the phone. "Hello?"
*Sakura? It's me, Madison. I have a surprise for you! I'll be over in half an hour okay? *
"Sure Madison." Answered Sakura. Then they hung up and Sakura started getting ready. Kero got up because his stomach started calling for pudding. "Sakura, do you have any more pudding left?" asked Kero. "Yesh, Qwrawebby flavored." Answered Sakura while brushing her teeth. Kero figured it out after awhile, yes strawberry flavored, and licked his lips.
Half an hour later Tori came down the stairs. "When did you wake up monster?" he asked. "Half an hour ago, and don't call me monster." Sakura pouted. Tori looked at the table, Sakura had cooked him breakfast. "Is that for me squirt?" asked Tori. Sakura nodded. Just then the bell rung. "Madison's here." Sakura rushed to the door. "Hi there Sakura." Madison smiled. Sakura looked at her arms and saw another outfit and sweat dropped. "Hi Madison." Sakura groaned.
In Sakura's room. "Sakura, try this on. It'll look great on you, trust me." Sakura put the dress on and looked at the mirror. The dress was beautiful. It was perfect for the heat; it was pink and white. The dress was up to her knees and had no sleeves. It had a turtleneck collar and it was thin. There was a pair of pink 2 inches high saddles to match.
"Wow Madison! This is beautiful! Thank you!" Sakura hugged Madison. "Your welcome Sakura, here's an invitation to my party." Smiled Madison as she grabbed out the invitation from her pocket. "What for?" asked Sakura. "Well, it's just a party. No reason." Answered Madison. "Hoe?" Sakura had a questioning look on her face. Madison giggled, "So can you?" "Uh sure." Answered Sakura with a smile.
At Li's Mansion, "Wow Li! This is even bigger than Madison's Mansion. Of course it's not as big as the one in China but it's still so big. Oh by the way, Madison gave you this invitation to her party." Smiled Meilin giving the invitation to Li. "How did she. Meilin, you told her?" Li asked already knowing the answer. Meilin looked down "Well you never told me not too, and besides, only Madison knows." Meilin answered. "Whatever." Said Li. "So are you going? It starts at 3:00 p.m. and it's 8:00 a.m. right now. If you're not going I'm still going and I'll tell Sakura that you didn't want to see her, but you came back." Meilin blackmailed. "That's blackmailing! Fine!" Li said. Then he went upstairs to the 3 floor and started to do his training.
Soon it was 2:00 and Sakura was over at Madison's house. "Sakura! You look wonderful!" complemented Madison's mother. "Thank you." Sakura smiled as Madison and her headed up to Madison's room.
"Sakura, let me do your hair, okay?" asked Madison. "Sure." Said Sakura. Sakura had let her hair grow out. Her hair was not up to ribs now and her hair was uneven.
Madison examined Sakura's hair and then took out a few clips and headbands and things like that. When she had finished it looked magnificent. Sakura's hair was put into a sort bun like thing except looser. There were a few cherry blossom clips in her hair and a matching pair of dangling cherry blossom earrings.
Sakura looked at herself. "Wow! That's great! Thanks Madison! But why did we have to make me dress up so much?" asked Sakura. "No reason." Smiled Madison. Madison was wearing a light purple shirt with no sleeves V-neck. The V-neck had a white out-line to it. With a skirt that was up to her ankle and there was a slit on her right side that went up to her knees. She had a violet see-through scarf around her neck too. She was wearing a pair of light purple gloves and two inches platforms to match. Her hair was tied up into a bun sort of thing as well. She had on a pair lavender colored rose earrings.
It was 2:35 now and Meilin had gotten dressed up as well. She was wearing a dark blue sleeveless T-shirt and a red skirt up to her knees. She tied her hair into one ponytail with a red ribbon. (A/N: yes her hair is still up to her waist.) She had 2 long strips of hair the out-lined the shape of her face. She had on a pair of red colored rose earrings that Sayau had bought her for her birthday and white high heel leather boots up to her knees.
When Li came out of his room he was shocked at the vision in front of him. "Hey Xiolang! Why aren't you dressed up yet?" asked Meilin. "M. Meilin?" said the shocked Li. "It's a new look." Explained Meilin as she went into Li's room and picked out a green sleeveless shirt and black pants with black shoes. "Here wear this." Said Meilin as she left his room.
When he finished changing he came out of his room to see what Meilin thought. Meilin gave a thumbs-up sign. Li looked so cute like that. You could see his muscles and since his neckline was a bit low, you could see part of his chest as well.
Meilin blushed slightly. "What. do you think?" asked Li. "Great! Sakura will love it!" Meilin exclaimed. "WHAT?" Li yelled. "Nothing! I meant Sayau. I meant you should meet him!" Meilin laughed nervously, "Let's get going before we're late." Said Meilin as she went downstairs. Li followed behind a little while later with his keys.
Li drove Meilin in his Lightening red sports car even though Madison's house was only a few blocks away. He thought it was probably better. When they got there it was exactly 3:00.
The bell rung and Walter let Li and Meilin in. Li and Meilin sat down in the living room, waiting for Madison. Madison came down the stairs with Sakura. Li looked up and saw Sakura walking down the stairs and turned crimson. Sakura could feel a familiar aura, so she turned to look in the direction it came from and froze.
Li and Sakura starred at each other for a long time until the bell rung. They both turned away blushing madly and looked to see who had came in. "Hey Sakura! Meilin, Madison." He said. "Hi." They all said. Li looked at him in jealousy. "Who's he?" Li asked. "Hi, my name is Sa." Sayau started but Meilin interrupted, "This is Sam." Everyone looked at Meilin except for Madison. "Hoe?" Sakura wondered.
"Uh. Madison, why don't you go and re-introduce Xiolang to Sakura, since I don't think they know how to talk to each other at the moment?" said Meilin with a wink. "Oh, right." Said Madison as she led Sakura and Li into the decorated room where Madison had put up a sign saying WELCOME BACK SYAORAN LI!
Meilin dragged Sayau into the kitchen and told him about Li and Sakura. Sayau agreed to go with the plan.

Then all of a sudden, Eriol appeared out of nowhere and Madison was so surprised that she accidentally pricked her finger on a rose thorn. She pretended it was nothing and smiled. "Oh, hi Eriol, I didn't know you were coming." "Hi Madison, sorry to drop in like this but I just had to talk to you about. Madison? Daijobu desu ka?" "Hai, daijobu." She answered.

"Oh, by the way Madison. Don't tell Sakura yet, but I believe Syaoran is coming back here tomorrow." "Really? Wow! I can't wait." Just then the bell rung, and Sayau came in. "Eriol, nice to see you again." "Hey Sayau." "Syaoran is coming back tomorrow." "Great, can't wait to see him. Hey Madison. Have you got the roses?" "Here you go." "Thanks, bye." Replied Sayau as he left as quickly as he had came.
When Sayau had gotten over to Meilin's apartment Meilin looked pretty mad. "Sayau, you're late." She stated. "Yes, but for a good reason." He answered as he pulled out the roses for Meilin. "Oh my god! These are the most beautiful roses in all of Japan! Thank you so much." Meilin said excitedly as she took the roses and kissed Sayau on the cheek.
Sayau smiled, "They're the best because Madison grew them and you know just how unique and special they are. I was going to pay her for it but she said I didn't have to as long as I took care of it too. And of course I took extra good care of it for you." Meilin giggled and blushed a bit.

Sakura's father had a business trip to attend to, and was coming back the day after tomorrow.
At Zachary's house, Chelsea was trying to teach Zachary, how not to tell tall tales. "Zachary? Who invented the light bulb?" asked Chelsea. "Well it was Tomas Edison. and. did you know that back then, when Tom was still." started Zachary but was stopped when Chelsea slapped him on the head.

*Hello? *
"Hello? Meilin it's me. I just landed in Japan."
*Li? Hey Cuss! That's great! You have to meet my boyfriend. So how long are you staying and where are you staying? *
"Only for a year. I'm staying at a mansion a few blocks away from Madison's house I think."
*Oh, so when are you going to visit Sakura? *
Li blushed, "Well, I. I. um. I was hoping. well. but.I would. don't ask."
Meilin laughed. *I'll tell Wei to pick you up. *
"Thanks." Said Li as he hung up. Meilin smiled.
While at Madison's Mansion, Madison had woken up early. She wanted to make sure everything would go perfectly. Meilin and her had a plan. She quickly called Meilin.
*Hello*
"Meilin, are you awake?"
*Yes, I was awake an hour ago. I couldn't wait*
"Great, then let's get everything ready."
*Yea! I'm just about to pick up Li*
"Then I better call Sakura and give her the latest design I made for her." Madison squealed. Meilin Laughed as they hung up.

*Ring, ring* Sakura woke up and picked up the phone. "Hello?"
*Sakura? It's me, Madison. I have a surprise for you! I'll be over in half an hour okay? *
"Sure Madison." Answered Sakura. Then they hung up and Sakura started getting ready. Kero got up because his stomach started calling for pudding. "Sakura, do you have any more pudding left?" asked Kero. "Yesh, Qwrawebby flavored." Answered Sakura while brushing her teeth. Kero figured it out after awhile, yes strawberry flavored, and licked his lips.
Half an hour later Tori came down the stairs. "When did you wake up monster?" he asked. "Half an hour ago, and don't call me monster." Sakura pouted. Tori looked at the table, Sakura had cooked him breakfast. "Is that for me squirt?" asked Tori. Sakura nodded. Just then the bell rung. "Madison's here." Sakura rushed to the door. "Hi there Sakura."

"Wow Madison! This is beautiful! Thank you!" Sakura hugged Madison. "Your welcome Sakura, here's an invitation to my party." Smiled Madison as she grabbed out the invitation from her pocket. "What for?" asked Sakura. "Well, it's just a party. No reason." Answered Madison. "Hoe?" Sakura had a questioning look on her face. Madison giggled, "So can you?" "Uh sure." Answered Sakura with a smile.
At Li's Mansion, "Wow Li! This is even bigger than Madison's Mansion. Of course it's not as big as the one in China but it's still so big. Oh by the way, Madison gave you this invitation to her party." Smiled Meilin giving the invitation to Li. "How did she. Meilin, you told her?" Li asked already knowing the answer. Meilin looked down "Well you never told me not too, and besides, only Madison knows." Meilin answered. "Whatever." Said Li. "So are you going? It starts at 3:00 p.m. and it's 8:00 a.m. right now. If you're not going I'm still going and I'll tell Sakura that you didn't want to see her, but you came back." Meilin blackmailed. "That's blackmailing! Fine!" Li said. Then he went upstairs to the 3 floor and started to do his training.
Soon it was 2:00 and Sakura was over at Madison's house. "Sakura! You look wonderful!" complemented Madison's mother. "Thank you." Sakura smiled as Madison and her headed up to Madison's room.
"Sakura, let me do your hair, okay?" asked Madison. "Sure." Said Sakura. Sakura had let her hair grow out. Her hair was not up to ribs now and her hair was uneven.
Madison examined Sakura's hair and then took out a few clips and headbands and things like that. When she had finished it looked magnificent. Sakura's hair was put into a sort bun like thing except looser. There were a few cherry blossom clips in her hair and a matching pair of dangling cherry blossom earrings.
Sakura looked at herself. "Wow! That's great! Thanks Madison! But why did we have to make me dress up so much?" asked Sakura. "No reason." Smiled Madison. Madison was wearing a light purple shirt with no sleeves V-neck. The V-neck had a white out-line to it. With a skirt that was up to her ankle and there was a slit on her right side that went up to her knees. She had a violet see-through scarf around her neck too. She was wearing a pair of light purple gloves and two inches platforms to match. Her hair was tied up into a bun sort of thing as well. She had on a pair lavender colored rose earrings.
It was 2:35 now and Meilin had gotten dressed up as well. She was wearing a dark blue sleeveless T-shirt and a red skirt up to her knees. She tied her hair into one ponytail with a red ribbon. (A/N: yes her hair is still up to her waist.) She had 2 long strips of hair the out-lined the shape of her face. She had on a pair of red colored rose earrings that Sayau had bought her for her birthday and white high heel leather boots up to her knees.
When Li came out of his room he was shocked at the vision in front of him. "Hey Xiolang! Why aren't you dressed up yet?" asked Meilin. "M. Meilin?" said the shocked Li. "It's a new look." Explained Meilin as she went into Li's room and picked out a green sleeveless shirt and black pants with black shoes. "Here wear this." Said Meilin as she left his room.
When he finished changing he came out of his room to see what Meilin thought. Meilin gave a thumbs-up sign. Li looked so cute like that. You could see his muscles and since his neckline was a bit low, you could see part of his chest as well.
Meilin blushed slightly. "What. do you think?" asked Li. "Great! Sakura will love it!" Meilin exclaimed. "WHAT?" Li yelled. "Nothing! I meant Sayau. I meant you should meet him!" Meilin laughed nervously, "Let's get going before we're late." Said Meilin as she went downstairs. Li followed behind a little while later with his keys.
Li drove Meilin in his Lightening red sports car even though Madison's house was only a few blocks away. He thought it was probably better. When they got there it was exactly 3:00.
The bell rung and Walter let Li and Meilin in. Li and Meilin sat down in the living room, waiting for Madison. Madison came down the stairs with Sakura. Li looked up and saw Sakura walking down the stairs and turned crimson. Sakura could feel a familiar aura, so she turned to look in the direction it came from and froze.
Li and Sakura starred at each other for a long time until the bell rung. They both turned away blushing madly and looked to see who had came in. "Hey Sakura! Meilin, Madison." He said. "Hi." They all said. Li looked at him in jealousy. "Who's he?" Li asked. "Hi, my name is Sa." Sayau started but Meilin interrupted, "This is Sam." Everyone looked at Meilin except for Madison. "Hoe?" Sakura wondered.
"Uh. Madison, why don't you go and re-introduce Xiolang to Sakura, since I don't think they know how to talk to each other at the moment?" said Meilin with a wink. "Oh, right." Said Madison as she led Sakura and Li into the decorated room where Madison had put up a sign saying WELCOME BACK SYAORAN LI!
Meilin dragged Sayau into the kitchen and told him about Li and Sakura. Sayau agreed to go with the plan.
