Wrong Place, Wrong Time



Chapter 1: Going to China




"Eh?" a surprised auburn-haired girl about eighteen of age cocked her head and exclaimed at her father's word. "China? WHY? Isn't the relation between Japan and China getting worse each year?"

The girl's father, Kinomoto Fujitaka, silently nodded, "I know, but the military is transferring me to China to conduct some experiment."

"But, father!" tears streamed down the young lady's cheek, "I don't wanna leave Japan! All my friends are here!"

"Don't worry, Sakura," Fujitaka patted his daughter's head gently, "you'll make some new friends there."

**********

A soft moan was heard as the dark-haired girl murmured, "Stop it, Li, stop it!"

Li, a college student with a stubborn face, went on and kissed the girl's slender neck. He growled deeply and spoke in a husky voice, "Say you want more."

"OH, YES!" the girl screamed. "Please, don't stop!"

*Just another girl!* the college student smirked and continued to deepen the kiss.

The girl closed her amber eyes and whispered, "I love you, Syaoran."

(AN: Okay, I do know Syaoran's Chinese name. I'm just too lazy to type that...^^;;)

Suddenly, all motion stopped and Syaoran shoved his girl aside. He dressed himself and buttoned his shirt, "Out!"

"But, Li-sama!" the girlfriend covered herself with the bed sheet as she tried to explain.

"There's no need for any explanation!" Syaoran stepped out of the dimly lighted dorm. "This is over."

"NO!" the girl scrambled to her feet only to come face to face with a closed door. She couldn't believe it, she thought she had the future Li clan leader wrapped around her finger, and now, she was dumped after a week. *Damn! I was so close!*

**********

"Hey, Eriol!" a soldier called another one guarding the square with a slight British accent, "Time to take a break!"

The dark raven-haired young soldier named Eriol yawned and approached his allies, "Finally, I thought I'll have to stand forever!"

His comrade handed him a lunch box, "Here!"

Eriol opened his lunch happily but his face wrinkled as he saw what's inside. He picked up a baby octopus, "What is this doing here?"

"Oh, that!" the comrade looked up. "Don't worry, just eat it. It's very well seasoned."

Eriol raised his eyebrow and tossed the squid over to his comrade, "No thanks, I think I'll pass."

"Alright," his comrade shrugged, "just to let you know, you are missing out!"

Eriol smiled uncomfortably, "I'm sure I'm not."

**********

Sighing, Sakura zipped her suitcase and carried it down the stair. *I wish we don't have to move to Hong Kong,* she looked longingly at her room, *I'll miss it here.*

Fujitaka called gently, "Sakura, are you ready?"

"Yes, father," Sakura struggled with her luggage down the stair. Remembering something, she lifted up her head, "Dad? What about Touya?"

"Sakura," Fujitaka sighed, "you know Touya still has a couple more year in college."

"Yeah," Sakura argued, "but he's in America! What happen if he decided to come home?"

"Don't you worry, Sakura," Fujitaka smiled, "I called him already."

"Oh," Sakura bowed her head, "but I'll miss it here. Can't I just stay here? I can take care of myself! I'm eighteen!"

"I know," Fujitaka sighed again, "but Sakura, we went over this already. It's not safe for you to be alone, especially during the war."

"But it's not like China is anywhere better!" Sakura shouted angrily.

"But at least I'll have you by my side," Fujitaka hugged his youngest child. "You are my child, I want to be safe with me. Now, do you understand?"

Sakura nodded, "Yes, father."

**********

"Excuse me!" a beautiful girl beamed at the soldiers and spoke in English with a little accent. "Would you mind showing me where is the college?"

Eriol looked amazingly at the girl and stammered, "It's this way."

"Alright!" the girl skipped and waved to the soldiers, "Thanks!"

"Ooh!" one of Eriol's comrades rested his arm around Eriol's shoulder, "that's one hot-looking Asian babe!"

"Ya know," Eriol nodded, "I don't think I mind that much that I'm assigned to Hong Kong anymore."

**********

A plane landed nearby and passengers began streaming out of the stairs. Sakura shielded her eyes from the burning sun and watched the busy crowd around her. A small tug was at her side and she spun around to see the slight smile on her father's face.

"We're here," Fujitaka beamed.

Sakura looked around, "Yeah, we are."
