Just a small note: My story will not be word-for-word Phantom of the Opera. It will be original with my own words. I haven't decided whether or not to put the songs from the play in or not yet.

"Sakura! Can you come down here please?"

"Coming Father!"

Sakura Kinomoto came running down the stairs. Her father, Fujitaka Kinomoto, was sitting in the living room with guests. He smiled at his daughter.

"Sakura, I want you to meet Li Yelan." Sakura bowed at the elegant lady. "It's an honor to meet you."

Yelan smiled and bowed to the girl in front of her. "Same to you Miss Kinomoto."

Sakura smiled. "Please call me Sakura."

Yelan's smile grew slightly, "You are as lovely as your name, Sakura.

She blushed.

"How old are you now my dear?"

"I'm sixteen ma'am." She did look sixteen. She had all the right curves and long auburn hair that framed her face. She had emerald green eyes that seemed to sparkle.

Yelan smiled at her answer. "I have a son who's your age."

Fujitaka cut in. "That's what I wanted to talk to you about. Come let's sit down."

He led them to the living room and the three sat down. Sakura realized this was serious. "Sakura, Yelan's son is going to stay with us for a while."

"Wha-why?"

Yelan smiled and cut in. "His name is Li Xiao-lang. He wants to work with your father to further his studies with music."

Sakura's eyes shone with curiousity. "Music?"

Fujitaka nodded. "Yes, I'll be teaching him more of the violin."

"When will I meet him?"

"He'll be here tomorrow."

Sakura's smile vanished, "So soon?"

"Don't worry," Yelan smiled suspiciously, "I think you'll get along."

Sakura smiled, "I hope so."

---------------------

"Sakura, I'm going to go pick up Xiao-lang. I'll be back soon." Fujitaka kissed her on the cheek. "Behave." he reminded her before he climbed into the carriage and rode off.

"Bye Father!" she waved at him until he turned the corner and was out of site.

Sakura sighed, bored, and walked back into the house. She walked into the kitchen and found her lunch already out and cooked. "Thank you father." she whispered as she sat down and began to eat her lunch.

'I wonder what Li will be like? Hopefully like his mother.'

She took the last bite of her sandwich and stood up.She cleaned up and walked into her father's study.

Sakura sat down at the piano and pressed some of the keys, still bored. 'This place is so dull alone.'

She sat up straight and began to play Fur Elise on the piano.

Clap Clap Clap

She stopped playing and looked at the person clapping.

It was a boy around her age with messy chocolate hair, and piercing amber eyes. "Very nice."

Sakura smiled. "You must be Xiao-lang."

He frowned, "Don't call me Xiao-lang."

She stood up and walked over to him. "Then what should I call you?"

He stuck out his hand. "Call me Syaoran."

She shook his hand. "It's nice to meet you Syaoran. I'm-"

"Sakura Kinomoto, right?"

She nodded.

"I've heard a lot about you from your father. Your all he talks about."

Sakura blushed and looked down. She realized she was still holding Syaoran's hand and she blushed more.

Syaoran smiled seeing her face red, and got down on one knee. He kissed her hand lightly and he had to try his hardest to keep from laughing at her red face.

"Am I interrupting anything?"

Syaoran and Sakura turned to see Fujitaka standing in the doorway with a smile on his face. Syaoran stood up and shook his head. "We were just getting acquainted sir."

"I see." he paused, then turned to Sakura. "Sakura will you give Mr. Li the tour?"

Sakura blushed and nodded. "Yes father. Come on Syaoran I'll show you the gardens."

He took her hand. "I would follow you anywhere Ying Fa." She blushed and rolled her eyes. "Just come on."

Syaoran nodded and bowed to Fujitaka as she dragged him to the gardens.

Fujitaka chuckled after them.

---------------------

"It really is beautiful here." Syaoran said looking around. They were in a huge garden, surrounded by various flowers and trees. "The Sakura trees are especially beautiful."

Sakura blushed. 'It's not like he's calling me beautiful.' She shook her head, to get rid of her blush, and ran to catch up to Syaoran.

He was standing near the garden fountain, looking at the statue in the middle. It was a statue of two angels, a man and a woman.The male angel was behind the womanand had hisarms around the woman's waist. Thewoman angel hadher arms behind herself, wrapped around his neck. His wings were spread out behind him.

"It's beautiful isn't it?"

He nodded. "Who's it supposed to be?"

"The Angel of Music." she replied as she walked next to him.

"The Angel of Music? Never heard of her."

"Him." she whispered so quietly he wasn't sure he heard her right.

"What?"

"The Angel of Music is the man. The woman is the Angel of Love and Romance."

He nodded in realization. "Oh."

"My father will tell you the story of him later."

Sakura took his hand and led him away from the statue, showing him the rest of the gardens and the house.

Fujitaka smiled at the two as he watched from his bedroom window. The two were getting off to a great start. He closed the curtain and sat back down at his desk to finish working with a smile on his face.
