One Little Emeraldby Cheryuku (a.k.a Yasashii Ma)
Sakura Kinomoto was a beautiful, 23 year-old singer. She was one of the most famous in all of Japan. She had mid-neck length honey-brown hair (somewhat like auburn), stunning green eyes, and a cutesy, enthusiastic, yet dead-serious about everything personality.
...
She walked down the streets of her home town, Tomoeda, to catch up with her old, now super-famous friends from elementary school, like Naoko, the now famous horror-film director, Rika, the multi-millionaire actress, Tomoyo Daidouji, her best friend who she practically hung out with all the time (now a fashion designer) and Chiharu, who was married to one of the richest CEOs in the world (Yamazaki!).
They were going to be eating at a quaint place by the beach. She was wearing an ivory crop-top, over a black and grey striped, ultra-tight tank top, and blue cut short shorts. She had on 3 inch high heels and around her neck hung pink headphones with black cat ears on them. On her face was a pink heart (mainly on her right cheek), and large $300 sunglasses.
"Connichiwa, Naoko-Chan, Chiharu-Chan, Rika-Chan, and Tomoyo-Chan, how are all of my bestest friends?" She smiled. Sakura sat down at the small café table, which was surrounded by eight men, all dressed in black. They were no other than the bodyguards.
"So, Sakura, I hear you're going to be taking a trip to Hong Kong soon? Why are you leaving us? I mean seriously, two weeks?" Naoko whined.
"Well, I'm actually performing at a banquet held by the Li-Clan! But Tomoyo's coming with me!" Sakura clapped a bit.
"Yes, I have business to attend to as well in Hong Kong. You see, I've been assigned to design Eriol Hiragizawa's tuxedo for the banquet."
...
Later that night, Sakura and Tomoyo boarded the plane to Hong Kong, China. While on the plane, Sakura and Tomoyo were mobbed by fans of the singer and fashion designer. Sakura was then moved to a private part of the plane, where she and Tomoyo each had a memory-foam seat.
"Isn't this the life?" Tomoyo asked Sakura.
"Oh yes, it is for sure...remember when we were in the 5th grade? You were designing my outfits and we would go on adventures with all of our friends? Ha, and I remember my old hamster, Kero-Chan..." Sakura frowned a little, but then shook her hair and relaxed in the plain.
...
She would be staying at a different hotel than Tomoyo, because they thought the fans would be doubled in size. The hotel was called "The Xiao Lang" named after the youngest child of Yelan Li. Yelan Li was 62, only a bit older than Sakura's mother, Nadeshiko, and Tomoyo's mother Sonomi.
...
Her hotel room was very nice and large. It was the only presidential suite in the hotel, and was usually rented out by Xiao Lang himself.
The curtains were red and embroidered in gold sequins. The bed was made of satin. Everything seemed like a beautiful castle. The hotel was actually shaped somewhat like a castle- a solid body with two towers. In the very center of the two towers was the presidential suite- where Sakura would be residing.
In order not to be stalked by fans on the sign-out sheets, she had checked in under the name Sakura Avalon, which was her mother's maiden name.
...
The day after that, she was touring the castle-like hotel, along with her group of body-guards. She was being toured by a woman named Meilin Li. Apparently she was the owner of the hotel's cousin. She had long, pitch-black hair, and she was dressed like a safari-adventurer, to show action in the tour. She and Sakura made friends quite easily, and Meilin was 'fortunate' enough to get Sakura's phone number.
Sakura was showed to every floor- there were about 45 in all, making it extremely tall. On the way, she met other important singers like Megurine Luka, and even the group Berryz Kobo.
Sakura was walking behind Meilin, when all of a sudden; Meilin randomly hugged a handsome man. He had dark-chocolate brown hair, amber eyes, and rosy cheeks.
"Oh, hello, you're Sakura Kinomoto, right?" The man asked.
"Hush, keep it down, I'm Sakura Avalon, get it?" Sakura put a finger over the man's lips and kept walking.
The man watched her walk out. He was somewhat happy she turned around. She gave him a good view.
Sakura turned around to the man, who was staring at her...back and widened her eyes. She then ran behind Meilin.
No one had known, but on the inside, Sakura was a super-optimistic, preppy, cutesy girl. But because of her career, she had to have edge. At least, that's what her director, Yamazaki Takashi had said.
...
After a long day, Sakura couldn't help but think about the strange man. Who was he? She wasn't surprised he knew her name, but she was surprised Meilin hugged him and walked away, and then he had stared at her (Sakura). Was he Meilin's boyfriend, or a family member? Maybe just a friend? Sakura fell asleep and dreamt of all these thoughts over and over.
The next day, Sakura had to wake up early so she could go and prepare her stage the way she wanted it for the show.
...
"Good morning," Sakura yawned. "...Li-Sama." Sakura smiled at Yelan Li.
"Please, call me Yelan." Yelan shook Sakura's hand with enthusiasm and showed her to the grand hall of the Li Mansion, where the banquet would be held that evening.
"This is...beautiful! Which architect did you hire for this job?" Sakura smiled. Sakura felt lucky that most of the Chinese people were bilingual and could speak Japanese.
"Actually it was a Japanese one...I'll find his card for you later, but there are more important matters at hand. My grandchildren think that their grandmother," she coughed. "Erhem...Me, is going to have a horrible, non-child-friendly party, when actually, you will be there, along with many other children. I got them to write me there favorite songs...would there be a chance you know these?"
Sakura read over the list. "Yes, ma'am, I'll perform these in order of 'the mood' today!"
All of a sudden, a dark-chocolate brown hair man with amber eyes.
"Oh, hello ladies." Syaoran bowed to the ladies who were going over the song.
Sakura reached out her hand, "Please, call me Sakura. By the way, I apologize for my attitude towards you yesterday at the hotel...I am very conscious about the paparazzi and stalkers...and...well enough about me, who are you?" Sakura said with a short wink.
"I'm Xiao Lang Li, please, call me Syaoran." Syaoran bowed and then Sakura bowed in return.
"Okay, children, please follow me this way!" Yelan spoke in a loud voice, and stared directly into Sakura's emerald eyes.
"Yes, Yelan-San." Sakura followed after Yelan. And again, Syaoran looked at her back...and more.
Syaoran really enjoyed Sakura's personality. He was also relieved at her apology...because he was about to apologize for yelling her name out loud before.
Author's Corner:
Me: Hello audience, I'm Yasashii Ma, one of the newer authors on fanfiction; anyway, I'm very happy to be writing to you guys right now! Well, let's talk about Sakura and Syaoran in my fiction!
This fiction is labeled romance between Sakura and Syaoran, so obviously, they will fall in love, it's just they haven't really gotten acquainted yet...Perhaps there will be new hidden feelings?
Sakura: That's just special. I can't believe I get to be a singer! *jumps up and down*
Syaoran: Kay then...
Me: I'm not doing any disclaimers because in the future I plan on rewriting Cardcaptor Sakura...only without all the Cardcaptor Stuff and just like pure romance! Cute, right? Maybe it will be somewhat like this...
