Chapter 1: Meeting You

The heavenly light shone through a pair of emerald eyes, staring with passion at an orange sunrise. The owner of the eyes was no other than Sakura Kinomoto, cheerleading captain at her university. Her honey-brown hair made every guy drool when they saw her and her innocent face would give every cloud a silver lining. She was just like an angel. Actually, she was a half angel. Her physical body died in a car accident when she was fifteen but her spirit managed to escape. She now lived in Kottie, a realm for healing souls just above the planet Earth. It was a direct replica of Earth except that everyone here was not a complete human yet. This was the year where she would be given the permission to leave if she passed the test.

Minutes passed and soon a glowing ball of heat showed it's full body to the residents of Kottie. Sakura gasped at the sight. It was like a never that she actually woke up in time to see a sunrise. Sakura closed her eyes and waited for the lavish warmth to touch her delicate skin. It felt so good, just like her life on Earth. Her mind showed her a jumble of pictures. One featured a grown man wearing an apron and glasses. He had combed brown hair and his face showed mixed expressions of happiness and pride. Another showed her a man similar to the other one but younger. She could never place her finger on who they were but she knew they meant a lot to her.

Sakura wandered around on the cliff edge. She had a bird's eye view of the whole city. She could see Tomoyo working on her latest design. 'She'd never change.' Sakura then averted her gaze to Kaho. She seemed so strange whenever Sakura was around. She'd always talked about magic and Sakura's pink aura [A/N: Wonder why?]. If she weren't talking about that, she would be talking about Sakura going to Earth to pass her test and cure a guy of bad temper.

Sakura walked her way back to her home. She had university to attend, not to mention Tomoyo's taping session and a private talk with the head of the Broken Souls. It was going to be a long day.

At home, Sakura had breakfast with four other students. They were all from her university and all girls.

"Hey Sakura," said a girl with pigtails at the top of her head. She was named Chiharu and she came to Kottie the same year Sakura did

"You're early," said another girl called Naoko. She was into freaky stories ever since young and she hadn't changed one bit. Pity was what Sakura called it.

"Give her a break," added Rika. She was the most mature of the three and was like a parent to them. They always obeyed her.

"Morning."

"Sakura, I've heard that you're getting your mission today. Is that true?"

Sakura gave Tomoyo one of her cheeky grins.

"Yup."

"Cool. I wish you luck."

"Thanks Tomoyo."

After breakfast, the five walked to university together. They were wearing a pink top with a large white collar and a pleated white skirt that went to just above their knees. They wore no socks but pink high boots adorned their feet to their shins. That was their uniform. As they entered through the golden gates of Kottie University, the bell rang.

"We're late," announced Sakura after a minute.

"Slow response," replied Chiharu immediately after Sakura made her announcement. A tomato red hue spread over Sakura's face and the other four started to laugh. Sakura was rarely mad. They raced to their classes which happened to be maths.

As they crashed into the classroom, the teacher got really fumed up.

"Chiharu, Naoko, Tomoyo, Rika, Sakura see me after this period."

The lesson went along, the revised some four unit maths before starting to work on actual stuff. As students poured out of the classroom, the five girls didn't move an inch. Their nerves were making them shake desperately and they were all thinking of a plan to get them out of the situation. [A/N: exactly what I do when I'm in trouble and trust me, I'm in trouble all the time.]

"What happened TODAY?" He put an emphasis on 'today' so they wouldn't tell him a story that happened yesterday.

"Well-"

"We-"

"Got-"

"Uh-"

"Lost."

The teacher didn't seem to believe them but nodded his head just the same. The rest of the day went along smoothly. Sakura got the award for being the densest student in the class and Tomoyo won design freak award.

"Yes!" screamed Sakura as the clock hit three, exactly.

"Miss Kinomoto, please don't be so rude," said the teacher.

"But Mrs Snow, it's three." Mrs Snow turned her head towards the clock.

"Oh, you can all go."

Everybody in the class left the room, giving Sakura all their thanks.

"Sakura, we'll see you at five. Okay?" asked Chiharu.

"Yeah."

"Tell us what the head says to you. K?"

Sakura gave Tomoyo a smile. "Definitely!"

They headed their separate ways. After fifteen minutes, Sakura arrived at the city hall. She walked inside, aware that every bone was shaking. 'What's wrong with me. I'm shaking badly.'

"Ahhh. Miss Sakura Kinomoto. My mistress is waiting to see you. Please follow me."

Sakura followed the lady. They meandered through the building. It was absolutely huge. There were rods of gold hold chandeliers and marble columns filled every walkway. They stopped by a set of brass doors, twice the height of Sakura.

"My mistress is inside, Miss Kinomoto."

Sakura smiled weakly and walked inside. She came face to face with a lady whom she recognised.

Kaho.

"Sakura you know why you and I are here."

"I do know madam."

"Kaho will do. You're test is quite different when compared to the quests of others. You will need to discover your true strength. One that lies beyond your imagination. If you are successful, you will also win the heart of someone that will help you in you test. He will be ignorant of his help but only time knows what will happen. I've already dropped a note at your residence. Your friends know the story. You shall leave today. Understand?"

Sakura swallowed her fear. She was going to win the heart of someone. She was going to love?

"Yes, but where shall I go?"

"Search within yourself. You are the question and the answer." Then Kaho disappeared and Sakura felt herself being teleported to another place, Kottie High.

"Oh man."

Sakura walked around the school. There was nothing that could tell her where to go. She was truly lost. Then something caught her attention. A plant she had never seen before. It was pink and only pink. It was beautiful. She walked over to the plant and touched the soft petals. She felt something form in her hand. A flower brooch and it looked just like the plant. On it, the words Ying Fa were imprinted. It was beautiful, just like the plant.

'Wow.' Sakura pinned the brooch onto her uniform and felt herself fall through many dimensions and layers of cloud. Colours whizzed past her as she continued to fall even more. Then the colours started to form a surrounding. Green plants started to take shape and so did peonies and other flowers. The scenery was wonderful. Sakura landed with a light bump. She touched her uniform only to find the brooch had disappeared. She stood up and walked around. The place was huge. It was probably bigger than the City Hall. Thoughts buzzed through Sakura's head. Is this Earth? Her thoughts were answered when a boy stepped out into the garden. He had amber eyes and messy brown hair. His face contained lines of wisdom. Another human followed him. This time it was a girl. She had two buns with ponytails hanging beneath them. Her eyes were ruby red and she was beautiful.

"Xiaolang, why did you decide to come here?" The girl clung onto the boy's arm and any onlooker would have known that he didn't enjoy this.

"Meiling, I told you. I'm sensing an aura. It's not very strong but it has potential. Is that good enough?" He practically screamed at the girl. Slowly, he made his way towards the bush Sakura was hiding behind.

"It's here."

Tension built up inside Sakura as they neared her. The boy cut through the bush and saw a girl all cuddled up.

"Who are you?" he asked. The girl stood by his side, supporting him.

Sakura was about to say her name when she remembered the words she saw on the brooch. "My name's Ying Fa. May I ask yours and where I am?"

"You are in the Garden of the Li mansion and I am Xiaolang Li, heir to the leader of the Li clan."

"I am Meiling Li. Xiaolang's cousin." She gave Sakura a dirty look.

"May I ask if I can seek shelter here? I'm new to this place and do not have much," asked Sakura. She could see Meiling turning her head in disapproval but Xiaolang SEEMED to be nicer.

"You'll have to ask my mum first. Follow me."

Sakura followed Xiaolang through the huge mansion.

"Mother, a girl is wishing to seek shelter. This is the girl. Her name's Ying Fa." He made a gesture for Sakura [A/N: I'll call her Ying Fa now] to step forward. Xiaolang's mother closed her eyes and concentrated. She looked peaceful.

"Yes. Please take her to the West Wing and make sure she is comfortable with where she stays."

"But aunt, the West Wing only occupies Li's. She's a total stranger," interrupted Meiling.

"Meiling, never question me. Understand?"

Meiling backed away, anger was written all over her face.

"Do you know your way around here?" This was addressed to Ying Fa.

"No madam."

"I'll enrol you to go to the same school as Xiaolang and Meiling. You'll be going to Litty University. It's the most prestigious university in Hong Kong. You have got a graduation certificate haven't you?"

"Yes," replied Ying Fa.

"Also, tomorrow, since it's a Saturday, I'll have a few maids go shopping with you. The clothes you are wearing are rather strange." She pointed to Ying Fa's uniform. Ying Fa blushed then nodded.

"Xiaolang, I need to talk to you. Meiling, take Ying Fa to her room."

Meiling did as she was ordered but she wasn't too happy. When they were out of the room, Yelan, Xiaolang's mother, started to talk to him.

"Take care of her."

"But why mother?"

"She may be the one." With that, Yelan summoned the Clow Book to her side. "The Clow Book. There are traces of Clow's aura mixed within hers. She may indeed be the one."

Xiaolang gasped at his mother.

"Now scurry along and take good care of her. Don't say anything about the book until I think she's ready."

Xiaolang left his mother's study and went to the West Wing where Ying Fa would be settling in her room.
