Wheepie! Finally arctic-chan figures out what the heck is going on with this story and she wrote it down ^o^ YAY! Anyway, this story is like Cinderella only with a couple twists with our ever so lovely CCS gang. SO stay tune and no matter how weird this looks, it's alternate universe and it's going to be kind of similar to Cinderella but you'll see the difference ^o^ heehee...ja!
So with that in mind, let's get it started ^o^ Oh yeah, everyone in here is in their umm...early 20s. ^.~

Chapter 1: From Rich To Rags
"Syaoran..." the pale-faced woman gasped, her face covered in sweat.
The chestnut-haired young man gently put a wet towel on his mother's forehead, "Shh...it's alright, mother. You need your rest."
"No," Yelan's voice cracked. "I know I don't have much time."
Syaoran shook his head violently, "No, don't say that!"
Syaoran's mother sighed, rubbing Syaoran's messy brown hair. "I can't hold on much longer. You are all grown up now. It's time that I let go."
"Mother..." Syaoran pleaded.
Yelan sighed, "There's only one wish I have for you, my son. Find someone that you love."
Syaoran picked up the cold damp hand and pinky-promised his mother, "Yes I will."
Yelan smiled warmly and closed her eyes in peace.
Syaoran looked in bewilderment and shook the sleeping woman, "Mother?" When he got no response, he kneeled on the floor in defeat, knowing that death had won again.

A fist came down on the ceder wood desk, cracking the sturdy desk. A pair of amber eyes stared mercilessly into the trembling employers. An angry growl was heard, "What did you say?"
"T-the...money...d-dis-appears...f-from the account," one of the employers stammered and busied himself with wiping the sweat off his baldhead.
The documents flied out from Syaoran's hand and smacked into the employers, "Can you trace it?"
The employers looked at each other, deciding who should break the new. Finally one of them spoke up, "No we can't and there's a bigger problem..."
Syaoran narrowed his amber eyes to a slit, "What's the problem."
His assistant gulped, "We lost...more than half of our stock."
Syaoran stared at the wall blankly, *Is Li clan coming to an end?*
**********
"So is that all?" the dark-haired young man wiped the sweat off his face and looked expectantly at his partner.
"Yep!" came the reply as another tall man sat the last box on the floor.
"Well," the first man opened the bag and took out two cans of beverage. He tossed one to the sapphire-eyed man wearing wire-rimmed glasses, "Welcome to China."
Eriol nodded, "Cheers."
**********
"I am sorry, Mr. Li," the police officer shook his head at the pleading leader.
"Please," Syaoran pleaded, "all I need is more time! Just give me another week...or even a day!"
"Nope!" the police finished taping the Li Corporation, "This building is confiscated and that's the end of the story. NOW SCRAM!"
A look of defeat was in Syaoran's eyes. He had lost everything. His house, his business, and his money...all due to a fraud in his party. He pounded the building angrily, *It's not fair!*
After a few moments, he reached in his pocket and took out a piece of crumple paper. He mumbled to himself as he headed east, "Guess I'll have to go to them!"
**********
A cloud floated atop and a beautiful angel peeked out of her sanctuary, *He looks so sad! Maybe I should help him.* With that thought in mind, the auburn-haired angel transported herself away.
**********************************************************************
So, have you guys figure out who's Cinderella yet? Come on! It's not that hard! Of course it's our Syaoran...heehee...this will be interesting. And if you didn't catch it earlier, this is an alternate universe ^o^ Well, till next time ^_^
So with that in mind, let's get it started ^o^ Oh yeah, everyone in here is in their umm...early 20s. ^.~
