~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*ON A BOAT~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Of all the stupid things that man has ever had me do, this has got to be at the list." A 16 year old boy grumbled. His messy chestnut hair blew in the wind, as his intense amber eyes stared at the waves crashing against the side of the boat. He was on a boat going to a remote island, that he had never heard of, off the coast of Japan. "That man knows that I hate doing this but does he listen...... no. Why would he, he doesn't have to be the one responsible for ruining innocent peoples lives."
Syaoran rambled on for a while more under his breath. Soon he realized that some people staring at him. This just made his frown deepen.
As he got off the fairy boat that took him to the island he started to look around. It was a nice place but an obvious tourist trap. He didn't know much of why he was here. Just a last name, a message, and that he had to take someone back with him.
Not knowing where to start he went into the tourist station and thought he would ask a tour guide. They were the ones who knew the most about the island right? If nothing more they could give him a phone book to look up the address.
He walked into a little building and went to the front desk.
"How may I help you today sir?" An old man asked politely.
"I am looking for a man named Mr Kinomoto. Can you help me?" Syaoran asked no bothering to be polite. Right now he felt like a little lap dog.
"I am afraid I can't help you with that but I do know someone who can if you will hold on for a second." The man said as he turned and went into a back room.
In a few seconds a 16 year old girl walked out.
"My name is Sakura. How may I help you?" She asked smiling.
There was something about this girl. Something different then in all the other girls he had ever seen. For one thing she didn't see him and automatically start flirting with him.
She had a great body that was perfectly in proportion. She looked to be athletic too. Her aburn hair was strait and hung to her mid back.
It was her eyes though, that really made her stick out. They were a bright emerald color and seemed to hold knowledge beyond what he was used to seeing, and he liked that. He had decided long ago that knowledge was a good thing for a girl to have. That in itself would make her unique, and the kind of girl he would want to be with. You didn't have to baby her, or make her feel like the world was always a safe place, because she knew it wasn't.
But beyond the outer look of knowledge and happiness, her eyes held an inner core. That core seemed to be built upon sorrow. If you weren't looking for it, it would be easy to miss. Syaoran however was trained to be able to see those kind of things. This made him wonder what had happened to the poor girl to make her feel so much pain. He could tell with just one look that it had to be something awful.
Syaoran couldn't help but stare at her for a second she was unbelievably beautiful. "I... Um... I am looking for a Mr Kinomoto." He managed to stamper out.
At this, the look of her face fell a little. "Why do you need him?" She asked.
Syaoran was surprised by this and his face went into a cold expression too. "I have business with him. Can you help me or not?"
He knew by the look on her face that he had been too cold with her but it didn't realy matter. After this trip he would never see her again. She was not the one he had come for.
"Follow me." Was all Sakura could manage to get out. She didn't like being mean to people but this person was looking for her father and she wanted to know why.
In the past any time someone strange came to the island looking for her father on business it had not been good. It had always in one way or another hurt her and her family. She hoped that this time was different but she had a sickening feeling that it wasn't.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*AT SAKURA'S HOUSE~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
They walked up to a large mansion and stoped at the front gate.
Sakura rang the buzzer and a voice called out. "Who is it?"
"It's Sakura I have someone with me that has business with Mr Kinomoto." Please get the message Touya. Please say Dad's not home.
After a couple of seconds Touya's response came. "Just a moment. Let me get the gate"
Sakura felt like she was going to cry as she led Syaoran inside to her father's study. (They did introductions during the walk to her house)
"Mr Kinomoto," Sakura started. "My I present Mr Syaoron Li." She held out her hand in introduction.
"Thank you Sakura now may I ask you to please wait outside the study I will need to speak to you when I am done here." And with that Sakura left.
"So Li. Please sit down." When Syaoran had done that Mr Kinomoto continued. "Tell me what can I do for you."
Syaoron put on a face that showed nothing. He had been taught how to make this kind of a face. A face that showed to expression. "I come with a message. 'The flower has bloomed.'" He quoted. "I am to take your son with me when I go to the main land tomorrow."
Mr Kinomoto smiled which threw Syaoron off guard. "I think you have a few things wixed up. My son has already gone and come back. He functions fine in the normal world and his code was 'The chick has hatched'. You are here for my daughter. I will try my best to get her to go but I can only do so much. The rest will be up to you. I can assure you that she will not go easily and you will have a very hard time getting her to go with magic. She is already stronger that I and her brother conbined and she has had no training."
This had really thrown Syaoran for a loop. A girl. The last girl to be brought to the institute was Tomoyo and that was 5 years ago. He was going to have trouble with this one. When bringing a boy back you could just beat him senceless until he finally gave in. But if you do that to a girl she will hold it against you for the rest of your life. Not to mention all the people that would think you are a monster for doing so. No, with a girl you had to use your brain. Maybe that is why Ocuri had chose to send Syaoran. No one else would have been able to handle this kind of a situation.
"Well than you had better tell her that she will be leaving tomorrow at noon. Should I stay to make sure she understand that she must come with me?"
"I think that would be best." Mr Kinomoto turned to a speaker phone on his desk and pressed a button while he spoke into the phone. "You can come in now." Was all he said.
Syaoran turned to see the door open slightly. When he saw who was at the door his stomach lept into his throat.
"Yes father? You wanted to see me?" Sakura asked.
