A/N: Well, this is my first CCS fic, and I'm going to try and make it long. I'm not very good at that… but it's going good, so far. I hope this is original! If not, tell me so I can fix it or whatever. And remember to tell me what you think about it! Did you like it? Did it really suck? Do you want me to quit writing? Did I make any spelling errors or grammar errors or anything (this is very, very possible…)? Tell me so that I can make my writing better! Thank you!

Disclaimer: No matter how much I wish I did, I don't own CCS. CLAMP does. So don't sue me. Jeez!

Bird Wings

Chapter 1: Surprise

By Kiyuri

*Sakura's point of view*

"Ano (huh)… where am I?" I thought out loud as I walked through a grove of trees. There was a bright light up ahead.

"Where is this?" I was in front of a large house with a very, very big backyard. There was a bridge over a pathway leading to the front doors.

I looked around. There was nothing else here… might as well go in.

I walked into the house to see beautiful marble covered floors and doors leading into many rooms. On a table between two doorways, there was a picture of Meiling and Syaoran together. Was this the Li mansion?

Suddenly, the room went light and Syaoran was standing in front of me. "This is nice," I said and smiled. But he wasn't smiling. He seemed… sad…

"I'm sorry I left you, Sakura-chan. I'm sorry you're alone now…" he said weakly. Sorry about leaving me behind when he went back to China?

"It's okay Syaoran-kun. I know you had to go back. I acted stupid… I should've known you'd come back. But I was really sad that you left me… I felt alone… I should be sorry." I explained.

"Sakura," he said and disappeared.

I woke up with Kero-chan floating over me. "Are you okay? You were talking in your sleep," he said in a concerned voice.

I sat up in bed. I'm fine, Kero-chan. What was I saying?" I asked. I hadn't talked in my sleep in a while. Oto-san (father) said that I'd mumbled in my sleep when Oka-san (mother) died, but I hadn't talked since then. Not since Li-kun left for Hong Kong.

"You were talking about that gaki (brat) again," Kero-chan sighed and shook his head. "I guess he's not that much of a gaki if you mumble about him every night in your sleep. Did you dream about him?" Kero-chan asked with a smirk on his face.

"I don't remember. I probably was, since I was talking about him." I hadn't been remembering my dreams lately. I don't know why, though.

"You should probably go back to sleep, though," Kero-chan said. "You're going to the roller rink with Tomoyo tomorrow, remember?"

"Oh, yeah. Night Kero-chan!" I said and rolled over.

I felt strange, though. I though that my dream had been important when I was in it. That's all I knew now.

But I stopped worrying and tried to go to sleep. I had a big day tomorrow. It was going to be fun…

The Next Day…

"Sakura, wake up! SAKURA!" Kero-chan yelled. I jolted out of bed. "Hoe? Is the house on fire?"

"No, no," Kero panted. "I finally got you to wake up. It's 10:15! You have to get ready so you can meet Tomoyo at the rink!"

"AHHHHHH!!!!!! I only have 15 minutes!" I cried. Quickly throwing on a pink shirt that had the words "What am I thinking?" on it and matching pink shorts, I dashed down the stairs and ran into Onii-chan (brother).

"Kaijuu (monster), you're late again…" he said mockingly. "Oh shush," I said and frowned. I continued running to the door. When I got there, I ran out and slammed it. "Wait," I said to myself. "What about my skates?" I ran back inside and grabbed my skates and helmet. Thrusting them on, I quickly skated out the door to meet Tomoyo.

*Tomoyo's point of view*

"Where is she?" I looked around. "Sakura was supposed to be here 10 minutes ago. I guess she slept late today…"

"TOMOYO! WATCH OUTTT!" I heard a voice coming from behind me. I turned around to see a quick glance of Sakura's frightened face before she slammed into me.

"Are you okay?" she said, breathless. "I'm SO SORRY! I was going too fast and," I put my hand over her mouth. "I'm fine, Sakura," I told her. She breathed a sigh of relief.

"Do, let's go!" I motioned her into the rink. She nodded and followed me.

"Did you oversleep again today, Sakura?" I asked with a smile on my face and a video camera in my hand. Sakura grinned sheepishly and nodded.

I laughed and hugged my cousin.

"So go out there Sakura! I wanna tape you there!" The reason I set this day up was because I wanted to show this tape to Syaoran when he came back to Japan. I just knew that something bad was going to happen. I wanted Sakura to confess to loving Syaoran if something happened to her.

"Aren't you coming to skate too, Tomoyo?" Sakura asked me.

"I'll skate later," I said. "Right now I just want to watch you!" I smiled, trying to seem as innocent as possible. I think Sakura knew I was planning something.

I watched her skate out, trying to keep track of her through the people. As I was filming, I was talking to the camera… and talking to Syaoran.

"Syaoran, this is Sakura skating." I laughed. "Yeah, that's pretty obvious. But… Li-kun, I think that something bad is going to happen. If… you don't see Sakura-chan again, this is what I'm going to give you. I know that Sakura loves you, Syaoran. She just doesn't want to say it. I really hope my instincts aren't true… because they usually are."

I kept talking for about two minutes, until the battery on my camera wore out. I'd brought extras, but I didn't need to say anything else. I put my skates on to join Sakura and have fun.

*Sakura's point of view*

I just knew that Tomoyo was up to something. She had that mischievous glint in her eyes. She was probably saying something to her camera while I was out skating. Oh well, it was useless trying to find out. She did have a bodyguard protecting her camera, anyway. He looked scary…

"BOOM!" Just as I was inspecting the scary bodyguard, I ran into another guy that was skating.

"Hoe??!!" I yelled.

"Sorry. Sorry, sorry!" apologized a familiar voice.
