The Calling

The sounds of faint music playing from another room, black walls covered in posters of famous music artists and movie stars, a small TV, and a book collection that looks like it never ends. These are the contents of Sakura Kinimoto's room. As Sakura's beautiful emerald eyes begin to open they awaken every sense in her body like a chain reaction. Waking her up from one of the best dreams she's had in weeks. She is torn by the sweet sweet smell she has been waking up to for the past six years of her life. Cookies, donuts, and fresh baked bread, from the bakery downstairs that her parents started six years ago, fill her house with the sweet fragrances. As Sakura sits up a cute fuzzy white and black spotted kitten uncurls from between her feet, mews, and sleepily curls back up in her lap. Sakura sits in her bed for a while gently stroking her kitten as it falls back asleep.

Sakura picks up the kitten in her arms and he stays asleep as she walks downstairs toward the bakery. The smells get stronger as she walks through a door in the kitchen that leads to the bakery. She enters the bakery behind the counter. Just as she walked in so did a group of people not much older than her. The first person in the group to catch her eye was a tall athletic looking guy he had shorter brown hair and beautiful ocean blue eyes. As her eyes study him all over, he happened to glance over and get a smile on his face when he noticed she was checking him out. She noticed his eyes on her and the smile on his face and she looked away and started to blush. They knew what thoughts were running through each others heads and they both got smiles on their faces from it, but Sakura was the only one blushing. After a second he walked over to her and leaned over and wispered in her ear. "Of all the things your family is selling here, you're the one I want." As he pulled away to look at her again he extended his hand and introduced himself. "I'm Syaoran."

She grabbed his hand and shook it, his hands were huge compaired to hers but oddly smooth as though he had never worked in his life, they held their grip not wanting to let go of each other ever. "I'm Sakura, may I get you something?" Her parents were watching the whole thing but didn't break it up, because they seemed like nice people and they wanted her to get out of the house more anyways, so she needed the new friends.

"Yes. We're having a meeting later and we wanted to bring some donuts. Can we get thirty of the chocolate bars and fifteen of the maple bars?" A young looking girl came up and asked when she noticed Syaoran had forgotten why they came. Then she extended her hand, and Sakura pulled away from Syaoran's hand to shake hers. "I'm Mielin, Syaoran's younger sister. You said your name was Sakura, right?"

"Yes. It's nice to meet you. If you don't mind me asking, Are you all new here because i've never seen any of you before?" Sakura asked with a confused look on her face.

"Actually, we've been here our whole lives ... We've seen you before at school. But, recently some things have happened and ..." Syaoran was telling Sakura.

"Syaoran! Shut up!" Mielin yelled and wispered at the same time raising her eyebrows at him, after she so rudely interrupted him.

"What? Huh? Oh ... Sorry, I can't tell you anything else right now. Hey, would you like to come with us and hang out for a little bit?" Syaoran asked Sakura, searching her eyes with a hopeful expression on his face.

"Ummmm ... I don't know if I can, and i'm not ready to go anywhere." Sakura answered turning head head to look at her parents for their approval. Her parents searched he face for signs of uneasyness but Sakura had none, so they nodded their heads in approval. " Can you give me ten minutes to get ready?"

"Sure. We'll wait for you out front." Mielin informed her. They grabbed their donuts and headed to their cars to wait for Sakura.

"Alright. I'll be out in a minute. Bye mom. Bye dad. I'll see you later." Sakura detatched from the room right after she winked at Syaoran, and he smiled back and nodded.

Sakura went and took a five minute shower and spent the other five minutes getting dressed and putting on make-up. But the whole time she was think of Syaoran. When Syaoran walked out of the bakery he let out a long sigh because the whole time he had been thinking of all the things he would do to Sakura the day she became his. After Syaoran let out the sigh they all turned to him and started teasing him about Sakura. The whole time she was getting ready seemed like years to Syaoran. He had missed her the second she let go of his hand, and she felt the same way. Some how they both knew there was a major connection between them and they couldn't let go of that ever.
