A boy with chestnut brown hair and piercing amber eyes lay his head on his hand
staring out of the window thinking of a girl with auburn brown hair and beautiful
emerald green eyes who made him what he was today. "Xiao Lang" "Xiao
Lang!" "Li Xiao Lang!" yelled Musishi sensei. Syaoran snap back
to reality " Yes sensei, sorry sensei, it won't happen again sensei."
Syaoran said as he brutally stood up. His classmates were trying to stuff their
giggles, not many succeeded. "As I was saying before you disturbingly drifted
off to your fantasy world . . . 2x the power of 3 divided by 8-y to the power
of 3 . . ." Yamishi one of Syaoran's classmates 'a friend'
you could call him, whispered to Syaoran "Psst, hey Xiao Lang what's with
you these days? You never did that before you went to Japan . . . its that girl
isn't it?" even though Syaoran told no one about his love life in Japan
or of Sakura everyone seemed to guess it. "No, what girl? I didn't
fall in love with a girl in Japan were did you get that idea" Syaoran said
a little too quickly it was suspicious. "Come on Xiao Lang there's no
other explanation for it." Of course Yamishi didn't think Syaoran had a
love life in Japan but did it to tease him anyway.
At lunchtime Syaoran took his food from the cafeteria and sat down with Yamishi,
Meiling, Chrika, Lona, and Kator. None of them were really in his class only
Yamishi, and sometimes Lona and Meiling but other wise he hardly new them. The
only reason they became friends was because Meiling said that if Sakura was
here she would want him to have friends. This convinced Syaoran to have some
friends.
"So how many times was that this week?" Yamishi asked. "10, 15,
20?" "No, 22, I win the bet, i told you he would do it more then 20
times this week." Lona yelled with joy. Yamishi handed her five dollars.
"Who did what how many times this week?" asked Kator. "Xiao
Lang drifting off into his own fantasy 22 times this week." answered Yamishi.
Meiling turned her glaze to her cousin. "Syaoran, um, you still haven't
forgotten have you? Still holding on to your memories?" Meiling murmured
just loud enough for the group to hear. The group took their glaze off their
food and stared at Syaoran then back at Meiling. "What do you mean by that
Meiling?" asked Chrika. Syaoran was getting a little awkward discussing
this in front of everyone, so he decided to change the subject. "Never
mind. Well how was art class Meiling?" " Oh it was great! We had to
draw this picture of this girl . . . speaking about that picture, you'd love
it. The girl looks practically the same as Sakura, well not really, just the
emerald eyes and smile," commented Meiling. Everyone's eyes widened
again they turned their glaze to Syaoran but before anyone got a chance to open
their mouths the bell rang.
Lying on his bed Syaoran took out a picture of a girl with urban brown hair
and ocean wide emerald eyes. He kissed it, slipped it back under his pillow
and drifted off to sleep.
In the morning, Syaoran woke up and ran off to school. Sitting down in his seat
as the bell rang and students started to enter the classroom. As their music
teacher started to enter, the class quieted down. "Well class as you know
it's almost time for the Halloween dance. We will be discussing more about
that but first let me introduce you to your new class mate." Everyone was
glazing at the door waiting for the student to walk in, well, everyone except
Syaoran. A girl walked in with long blackish blue hair and deep blue ocean eyes.
All the boys were drooling over her, expect for Syaoran who kept his heart strictly
to Sakura. And all the girls were slapping their boyfriends over their heads
for thinking such things. "This is Chan Xylo" "I hope you treat
her well and show her around." "Xylo you can sit next to Meiling."
Meiling gave her an evil glare. Like almost all girls, Xylo seemed to have her
eye out for Syaoran, but unlike the other girls she had something special. Meiling
didn't like this, even though she broke off the engagement, she still liked
Syaoran and didn't want anyone to be with him . . . except for Sakura.
Again like usual Syaoran was in his own world away from the rest. He was in a world where all his fantasies came true. He was in a world where there was his Sakura standing right next to him. "Xiao Lang!" yelled the teacher for the tenth time and this time it got to him. He bolted right up just like all the other times. "Sorry sensei it won't happen again sensei." "I'm sorry Xiao Lang but you have said that for the past 2 years when ever you drifted off. I'm beginning to think it's now a habit for you." Then in a lower voice she said more to herself, "What have they done to you in Japan?"
" Xiao Lang!" Yamishi shouted from across the hall. "Did you
see that new girl? She's hot wouldn't you say?" Syaoran looking a little
confused since he was in his dream world at the time said. "What new girl?"
Yamishi fell over Japanese anime stile. "What's with you these days?
Well if you didn't notice we have a new student, a girl at that, and she's hot.
And you still don't have a date for the dance do you Xiao Lang? I don't
know what's taken you so long, any girl would die to be your date, just
ask one. Hey you could ask that new girl she seems to have an eye on you."
Syaoran looked disgusted at the thought of it. "It was only a suggestion
don't go crazy on me now."
What's wrong with Xiao Lang? He was never like this before. Well thinking about it he never had an expression on his face except for that stern, serious one. He wouldn't even care about dances, well at least that didn't change. I wonder what could it be?
Just then Xylo walked up and snapped Yamishi back to reality. "Hello Li Xiao Lang will you take me to the dance? You see, I'm new here and don't know people that well, so I really want to go and well you seemed like a nice guy are you not?" Syaoran wasn't listening again he was in his little fantasy so he didn't answer. At this Xylo got furious and shouted "You are so rude Li Xiao Lang! How dare you." This got Syaoran's attention but Xylo already turned on her heal and stamped out of sight. Of course Syaoran was confused. "What was she all angry about?" Yamishi just stared at him and sweat dropped.
How dare he! That jerk, just ignoring me. He'll pay if it's the last thing i do. He will pay for what he did to me, or I'm not Chan Xylo!
In a corner Meiling watched all and couldn't help but smile at the sight. But as much as she wanted to believe that girl was not beat yet and would bring trouble to Syaoran no matter where he goes.
* * * *
Japan
A girl with shoulder length auburn brown hair to her chest with beautiful ocean
emerald green eyes was fast asleep dreaming of her loved one that she never
got to show her love to.
"Sakura" "Kinomoto Sakura wake up this instant!" Yelled Muzushi sensei her Japanese teacher. "Hoe!!!??" Sakura woke up. "Sakura what's wrong with you? Don't you get enough sleep already? You always come to school late. I'm sure it's because you sleep in." "Sorry sensei I really didn't mean to sensei. I'll try not to do it again sensei." Stated Sakura in a sleepy tone. It wasn't her fault she was tired she spent the whole night doing her homework . . . well really she spent the whole night doing her homework because she spent the whole afternoon at the park on the swing holding a teddy bear with a green ribbon tied around it's neck to her chest while sobbing slightly.
Next to her Tomoyo sighed. She knew that Sakura spent most of her time thinking of Syaoran, even when she tried her best to concentrate on her homework, she couldn't get Syaoran out of her mind. It was the same at cheerleading practice, Sakura never dropped the baton more times in her life then she has for the past two years.
Li why did you leave her? Oh please come back soon . . . for Sakura's sake please come back soon
After school Sakura was sitting at home trying to finish her math homework.
Syaoran would probably know the answer to this question.
Why did he leave me? When will he finish his business in Hong Kong? When will
he come back? Does he even remember me? Why can't I stop thinking about
him?
I'm supposed to be doing my homework. If I don't finish this time,
sensei will get really mad.
With that she went back to doing her homework.
* * * *
From outside Sakura's room two men, one with short black hair and one
with pure snow-white hair, were looking at Sakura from a crack between the door.
"You know we shouldn't be spying on you sister
like this. What can she do that's so bad when there isn't even anyone
around her?" "We should be comforting her at her state. Look at
her, she's obviously depressed."
"Yukito, she's been depressed for the last 2 years!" Touya
shouted in a hushed voice.
"I know, it's been like this ever since—" Yukito stopped
in mid track knowing that Touya doesn't want to be reminded by the fact
that his sister cares more about 'The Chinese Brat' then anyone
else.
"You don't have to hide it from me I know what you were going to
say."
"I don't get how she could care so much for the Brat." "I
mean he was harassing her when they first meat, how could she care for something
like that?"
"The same reason she can care about a person like you." Answered
Yukito.
"I swear if the Brat ever comes back I'll kill him for making my
sister like this." At this Touya took his eye off the crack and started
heading down the stairs.
Yukito following.
"Well look at the good side your sister will be back to normal."
* * * *
"Sakura . . ." A small yellow mouse with
wings came out of Sakura's drawer.
"Yes Kero-chan?"
"Nothing."
"Kero?"
"Yes, Sakura?"
"Why did he leave me?" while Sakura said this she turned around
and Kero could see all the tears in her eyes falling down her soft tender cheek.
"Sakura . . ."
"Kero-chan, why? Why? He said he loved me didn't he? He said he
would return. But it's already been two years and where is he?!"
"Sakura just give the brat time, he'll come back." Kero gave
her a reassuring smile. Even if he wasn't too sure of that himself. Sakura
gave one of her thanks-Kero-but-I'm-not-convinced smiles that you could
see on her face so often now.
It's rare, no never that she gave one of her charming smiles that were
always plastered on her face before.
Where is that brat? I hope he's having fun there in Hong Kong. Just look at what he did to Sakura. He probably forgot about Sakura already. And he made her promise to wait for him. What a jerk. How could Sakura ever fall for him?
* * * * *
Hong Kong
Xylo was sitting down at the park. It was about 12:00
am when she felt her spine shiver. Wondering what made her shiver considering
the fact that it was about 30 degrees outside.
'Xylo . . .'
Xylo looked around her, anxious of what she might see.
'Xylo . . .'
This time it was clearer, it was a young lady's voice yet it sounded so
distant . . . but so close.
' I bet you really want that Li Syaoran to pay for what he did to you
in front of everyone don't you?'
Xylo forgot the fact that she didn't know the person who was talking to
her or how she knew that happened. Just thinking of the incident that occurred
early that day made her face turn red.
'I can help you make him suffer more then what you could do alone."
"I'll do anything to make him pay at the highest limits"
'Then we have a deal . . . '
* * * * *
At the Li Mansion
"Xiao Lang!" A Woman with long black hair tied up into a bun called
her son.
"What is it okaa-san!" Syaoran shouted from his room.
"Xiao Lang you have a phone call from someone named Daidouji Tomoyo or
something like that!" His mother shouted back at him.
Syaoran picked up then phone in his room.
"Mushi, Mushi."
"Hello? Li-kun?"
"Hi Daidouji-chan."
"Hi Li-kun we need to talk . . .
"Ok…what's it about?"
"Well . . . it's about Sakura . . ."
* * * *
In another room four girls were eavesdropping into their
little brother's conversation.
"Fuutie let me hear!"
"Shhhhhh little sis they'll hear you!"
Just then there mother walked in.
"What are you doing?"
"We're really sorry mother we just needed to know, he doesn't
tell us anything of his life in Japan."
"I know I know—"
"We won't do it again mother."
"You better not when you talk in that kind of voice and four ears trying
to listen into one phone. It's insane!"
The tree sisters stared at each other then at their mother.
"You do this."
Yeilin took the phone put it down then pressed the button 'hand-free'
The speaker went on and the five of them could hear the conversation clearly.
The four sisters stared at their mother in surprise.
"Mother!" Stated Fuutie.
"We're impressed!" And the other three nodded their heads.
"Sakura?" All five of them heard their precious Syaoran state.
* * * * *
"Li-kun you have to come back."
"Why? My clan needs me at these times, our High Elder is on his last thread
he might not make it I just can't leave."
"You can't leave for Sakura? You can't leave for the one you
said you loved?"
"I . . ." Syaoran was speechless.
"Li ever since you left she was soul less, Li-kun, she hasn't smiled
her original smile for 2 years!"
"She's doubting that you'll come back, Li-kun she hasn't
been the same."
"It's time for you to choose Li Syaoran!"
"The person you love with all you're heart, or your clan."
"Daidouji-chan . . ."
"Pick Li!"
"Daidouji-chan I can't"
Tomoyo gasped. Li-kun, Li Syaoran who knows everything the perfect Li can't
pick between his love and his Clan.
"Li-kun I'm disappointed."
Just then Syaoran's four sisters barged into the
room staring at him in horror.
"Li Syaoran you go to Japan!" Stated this eldest sister Fuutie.
"Bu—" His sisters didn't let him finish they were all
talking to him in stern strait voices.
"Syaoran you're in love with her!"
"You have to go back"
"Why are you still here?"
"You should have told us!"
"Go to her!"
"Why didn't you tell us?"
"You actually love someone? Can you believe that the all mighty Xiao Lang
fell in love? Don't loose her Xiao Lang, you'll never find another
love like her."
His sister kept babbling away till their mother finally stopped them.
"Sisters, sisters, sisters."
"Let your brother talk."
"Xiao Lang . . ."
"What is your decision?"
"I . . . I . . . I don't know."
Tomoyo who was still on the phone listening to every
word that was spoken cleared her voice.
"Oh, I'm Sorry Daidouji."
"It's ok Li-kun"
"If you are not in Japan by mid next week I will have to tell Sakura that
you may never come back. I will hate to break her heart. Thinking that you will
come back is the only thing that keeps her going."
And with that Tomoyo hung up.
* * * *
Japan
I hope my plan works. Li-kun would never let Sakura wait. He will come . . . I hope.
* * * *
Hong Kong
One week after the phone call from Tomoyo.
"Syaoran what are you thinking about?" Yamishi
asked at the cafeteria at lunchtime while they were sitting in their usual spot
with Meiling, Chrika, Lona, and Kator. "Ya, you seem to have something
on your mind that means a lot to you." Stated Meiling.
"It's nothing." Answered Syaoran.
"It has something to do with Sakura doesn't it? I know it does I
can read it off your face, what is it?"
They all stared curiously at Meiling and Syaoran.
"Oh don't tell me you haven't figured it out yet. *sigh* I
might as well tell you."
Syaoran looked horrified at the thought of it.
"Well sorry to break it to you but someone will tell them sooner or later."
"Well I prefer it later then sooner."
"Well it all started when Syaoran had to go to Japan on a mission for
our Clan."
"He had to collect something for us, but a girl was in possession of it
already. Her name was Kinomoto Sakura. So they became rivals, but that didn't
stop her from trying to be friends with him. Finally instead of being rivals
they became friends."
"Then one day Syaoran started to realize his true feelings for Sakura.
But he was too afraid to tell her himself. He tried many times but failed. Soon
he finally told her. She was really shocked to hear this. Soon she too started
to feel the feelings Syaoran had towards her but didn't know what they
meant,
so she kept them to herself. Soon Syaoran had to come back and still no answer
from Sakura. He finally left and then Sakura realized her feelings for him,
that she loved him. But he was gone. When he came back She told him her feelings
after they had this hard day, but then the Li Clan ordered him back home, and
so that is what happened."
Syaoran cleared his voice to break the tension.
"And how do you know all that."
"Because one, Tomoyo told me what happened before I came and two, I was
there for most of it."
"I mean how do you know that Sakura loved me?"
"Well because you'd have to be clueless to be able to tell and Tomoyo
and I have been close since then."
"Oh . . ."
Syaoran and Meiling's friends stared at them wide eyed.
"So there is a girl?" asked Yamishi.
"So Syaoran will you now tell us what happened that got you thinking?"
"Might as well."
All five friends were listening closely afraid they would miss something.
"Well . . . Um . . . you see . . . why are you guys looking at me like
that?"
"Don't change the subject Syaoran and tell us!" Meiling yelled.
Everyone in the cafeteria was looking at Syaoran with a questioned look on their
faces.
" . . ." Syaoran and Meiling were both sweat drooping.
"Well . . . Daidouji-chan called last night."
"Daidouji? Who's she, another one of your girlfriends?" Asked
Yamishi
Syaoran turned red at the thought of it.
"No!"
Again everyone's attention was back to the group.
"What did she say!" urged Meiling.
"Nothing important." Answered Syaoran.
"Nothing important! Nothing important! They haven't been in contact
with you for two years and when they finally did it isn't important!"
Now everyone was looking at them whispering to each other, muttering what they
might be talking about.
"I bet it's about Syaoran's Japanese
girlfriend," Said a girl with a group of friends crouching in and nodding
their heads.
"I bet that's what he day dreams about in class." Said another
girl.
With this comment everyone was nodding their heads and looking at each other.
"Right, well ignore them, their attention will go to something in a few minutes. Right now just tell us what's important." Meiling said.
But the kids' attention did not go off them. And Syaoran didn't want to say anything so he decided to do what he always does when the conversation heads in the wrong direction. Change the subject.
"There is nothing important about what Sakura is
doing in Japan anywa—"
"Aha!" Accused Meiling.
"It was about Sakura-chan"
Damit how did I just let it slip like that? This has never happened to me since . . . Well since I met Sakura . . .
"Earth to Syaoran. Stop day dreaming about that
Japanese girl."
"Hump . . . just because I liked her doesn't mean I'm always
thinking about her."
Meiling laughed at this then cleared her voice.
"Correction, because you loved her, always which means you're
thinking about her."
Chrika, and Lona were trying to stuff their giggles, but didn't do a good
job at it.
Kator cleared his throat. That stopped the girls from laughing. Kator hardly
talked at all so when he did everyone would listen.
"You know Syaoran I really think you didn't have a heart."
All the Li Syaoran lovers in the cafeteria gasped and gave evil glares toward
Kator.
"I never thought that the rumors were true. 'Li
Syaoran has finally been tamed' Everyone would say."
"Ya me neither." Stated Yamishi.
"Shut up! I would like to hear my cousin's affairs without any interruptions
for once!" Yelled a furious Meiling.
Everyone that was paying any attention to the group's conversation went back to eating all except one . . .
"Now Syaoran tell me . . . well us."
"Fine"
" . . ."
"Well aren't you ganna say anything!"
"Tomoyo called and just wanted to tell me that Sakura was . . . well depressed
for the passed two years every since I left. And that she needs me there in
the middle of next week. She'll assume that I don't love Sakura
anymore and tell her so." Syaoran said so fast that they were hardly able
to comprehend.
"So your going back aren't you?" Asked Kator
" . . ."
"Syaoran when did Tomoyo call you?"
"At night."
"No dimwit! When like how many days ago did she call!"
"About a week ago I guess."
"A week, you didn't tell me, you haven't started packing,
you haven't even bought a ticket!"
"That's because I'm not going Meiling."
" I broke our engagement so you could be happy with Sakura and what do
you do . . . You go and waste it like that!"
"Meiling it's not that it's just—"
"Don't you dare do this Syaoran you are going!"
"But—"
"Don't argue with me you are going strait away!"
"But it takes weeks of planning to do this."
"Well you didn't do this when it was to capture the clow cards!"
Everyone was looking at Meiling as if trying to say what-are-you-talking-about-?
"Meiling? What are you talking about?" Stated Syaoran knowing perfectly
well what she was talking about.
"Sorry it was a dream I had this dream and . . . um ya."
God I might as well go, before Meiling ruins the whole
clan's cover.
At least I get to see Sakura again . . . is that a good thing or a bad one?
* * * *
Japan
Two weeks and a half from the phone call
"Sakura I have to go now sorry I really don't
want to leave you but I have to."
With tears still rolling down her eyes Sakura answered. "It's ok
Tomoyo, I'll be alright."
"Thanks Sakura."
"Um, Tomoyo?"
"Hum? Ya Sakura?"
"What's so important?"
"A meeting with an old friend."
"Oh, have fun."
With that Sakura put on one of her fake smiles for her friend.
Oh Li please come, I can't stand to see another one of Sakura's fake smiles again.
* * * *
Airplane to Japan
What am I doing here? Sakura probably forgot me. How could I let Meiling
talk me into this? I'm going to humiliate myself.
"Please buckle your safety belts, as we are landing." Said an airplane
stewardess.
Syaoran looked at his watch.
"9:15 pm!!!"
"What!!"
"Excuse me Mister, but can you please be quite as you can see there are
people resting."
"Oh, yes, sorry, it's just that, aren't we supposed to land
in Tomoeda?"
"Well we unsuspectedly ran out of gas and have to make a unscheduled stop,
so we might arrive there by um let's see, lets say 12:15 am."
Syaoran looked horrified by the thought of it.
Oh no by then Daidouji-chan would have thought that
I haven't come and would tell Sakura that I don't love her!!
Iie, Iie, Iie!!
* * * *
Poor, poor, poor Little Wolf. Once you get there it would have all been a
waste. It will all be over, she won't love you anymore.
Huh, but I'll be nice to you Little Wolf. I'll send this to make
you decide to go back, to go back to me!!!!
Xylo was laughing and unnatural laugh that didn't belong to her, but the one controlling half her soul.
* * * *
Airport
Li-kun where are you it's almost 12:06 am. Maybe there was a delay
or something, or he just doesn't love her anymore. How would I break it
to Sakura? She has the right to know.
"Flight 227 for Japan has been delayed by an unscheduled stop if you are waiting for a relative, or friend to arrive please wait a little longer to 12:30 am when all passengers are to arrive on the platform."
Tomoyo sighed.
Oh thank God.
* * * *
Damn those air ports, oh well I'll just have to delay the Little Wolf
instead.
* * * *
Kinomoto Residents
"Hoe!!!!"
Kero woke up and flew to his mistress.
"What's wrong Sakura?"
Just then Kero turned in to his original form, Kerberus.
Standing next to Sakura was a Tiger in a golden brown coat.
Known as the Seal of Fire.
"Kero why did you transform?"
"There is a great Dark power out there Sakura."
"I know I felt it too. It feels kind of like the clow cards when they
were lose except more different, more evil."
Just then Sakura got a flashback from the old Card Captor
days.
It was the one where Syaoran first helped her catch The Thunder.
Tears started to flow down her checks as she remembered the old days.
"Syaoran . . ." Sakura whispered as she fell to her knees.
"Sakura this isn't a time for weeping we have to go out and fight it!"
But Sakura was mesmerized by her thoughts to pay any heed to what Kero said.
* * * *
Airport
Tomoyo sat down seeing all the passengers walking out.
Where is Li? That's all of the passengers.
Oh, no he wouldn't! Don't tell me he . . . he . . . he doesn't
love Sakura anymore!!
This wasn't supposed to happen. He was supposed to come.
Oh, no how am I supposed to tell Sakura? She will be heart broken!
* * * *
"Okaa-san!!!!"
"OKAA-SAN!!"
Sitting down hugging his knees was a little boy crying for his mommy who left
him in the airplane.
"Hey don't worry kid I'll get you back
to you mom."
Wiping his tears away with his shirt, the little boy said.
"You . . . You . . .You will?"
"Of course I will."
Just then a gust of wind came their way.
Why is there wind in an airplane?
That's strange.
Then Syaoran felt a very familiar surge of energy.
Syaoran whipped out the great Li clan sword.
The boy looked at Syaoran with admiration.
"WOW!"
"Shhhhhh" whispered Syaoran.
"Why are you fighting me Little Wolf?"
"What do you want Dark force!"
'I want you're attention Little Wolf'
'And why would you want that?'
'Why are you going back?'
'Why does it matter?'
'Ohohohohohoh, Poor poor, poor creature, don't you know by now that
she doesn't feel the same way?'
'I don't care!'
'Of course you do that's why you listened to your cousin in the
first place, isn't it?'
'Shut up!'
'Baka! Why do you always go for something you can't have, The clow
cards, more power, the clans honor, and now the little Cherry Blossom?'
'Why don't you just except the fact that you're not meant
to be and move on!'
"Ka shin shourai!"
Syaoran through out some enchantments, and stabbed his sword through them, and
once it made contact, fire sprang out.
"That won't work on me!"
"Don't you know that I'm made out of wind? Fire does not hurt
me."
"No but it did make you visible."
Syaoran said with a gleam of satisfaction in his eyes.
With that the wind flew away.
"Next time Little Wolf, next time!"
"Oh wow how did you do that?" Asked the little
boy.
"Um, do what?" Syaoran said as he put his sword away.
* * * *
Kinomoto residence
"RIIIIIIIIIINNNNNGGGG!!!!"
Touya went to open the door.
"Hello Daidouji, this is a really bad time to see Sakura."
"Isn't it always?"
"No you don't understand, you know how Sakura is in a very bad mood
worse then usual."
"Everyone knows how depressed she is and how she cries by herself about
once a week, but she always tries to hide it from us, it's like she doesn't
even realize we're here she just ran right past us not caring at all."
"Oh!"
Tomoyo slapped her hands to her mouth.
I better tell her tomorrow before school then.
* * * *
At school the next day
"Sakura!" Tomoyo yelled from the school gates.
"Oh, hi Tomoyo."
"Um . . . Sakura I need to tell you something."
"Ok, what is it?"
"Well you see, it's . . .um . . .—"
"RIIIIIINNNNNNGGGG"
"Oh, tell me later, maybe after school or something."
"Ya."
"Quiet down class, quiet down!"
"We have a new transferred student with us, well um no, that's not the right words, o yes welcome back an old class mate of yours."
Sakura was just looking out the window, thinking of the one she loves.
"Um, please welcome back Li Syaoran."
Sakura snapped back to reality by his name.
"Hoe!!!"
Sakura wasn't the only one surprised but also Tomoyo, but she quickly snapped back.
It was foolish of me to think Li would stop caring for Sakura, of course he came back.
It took a little while for Sakura to come back though.
Tears started to swell up in Sakura's eyes.
Syaoran!!
"Miss Sakura, is there something wrong?"
"Hoe!!??"
"Oh, um no, sorry sensei."
"Well then Syaoran you can take your seat behind Sakura."
"Thank you sensei."
Sakura couldn't take her gaze off of Syaoran. Her eye's followed
wherever he went.
Sensei cleared his voice.
"Excuse me, Miss Sakura."
Sakura paying no heed to what sensei said kept staring at Syaoran.
"Kinomoto Sakura!!"
"Hoe!!??"
"Is Syaoran more important to you then our lesson?"
"Yes, sensei."
"No! No, I mean no sensei."
The glass broke into a fit of giggles.
"RRRIIINNNNGGG!!!!!!"
Everyone stampeded out of the classroom.
Sakura was out in the hallway looking for Syaoran.
Where is he? . . . Ah! There he is!
Sakura went running in the direction of Syaoran.
"Syaoran!!!"
Sakura ran with tears in her eyes.
Sakura flung her arms around Syaoran's neck rubbing her face into Syaoran's
chest.
"Syaoran, you came back."
Wide eyed Syaoran was staring at Sakura hugging her back, holding her close,
never wanting to let her go.
All this time everyone stopped putting their books in
their lockers, and taking out their lunches. They were all staring at the kawaii
couple in front of them.
"OOOOO this is going to be a great tape! I'll call it, 'Sakura's
love returns'!!"
Syaoran I'm not going to let you go this time, I'm never going to let you go, I want to be in you're arms forever!!
"Excuse me, I don't like to ruin you're reunion, but school rules come first, as I clearly stated at the beginning of the year, 'No students may be in the hall after 12:15'." Said the principle, Mrs. Makuza.
Everyone quickly put their books away, took out their lunches and ran outside. Soon the school hall was disserted.
"Well hurry up you two and go outside."
Syaoran still holding Sakura in his arms gave the Sensei Makuza an evil glare.
As much as it hurt Sakura to do so, she knew that she
had to do it.
"Syaoran you better let me go, or else we might be in trouble."
I don't care how much trouble I'll get into. All I want to do
is be with you Sakura. I never want to leave your side again.
"Um, ya sorry."
Syaoran, Sakura and Tomoyo went outside, to join their friends, Rika, Naoko, Chiharu, and Takashi.
"Welcome back Li-kun." Said Chiharu.
"Why did you come back?" asked Takashi.
"Takashi!!!" Yelled Chiharu.
"Sorry, sorry."
"I heard you weren't the only one that was being transferred from
China Li-kun." Stated Rika.
"Ya, I heard it was someone named Xlilo, or something like that."
Said Chiharu.
"Xlilo, Xlilo, why does that name sound so familiar?"
~ ~ ~ ~ ~
"We have a new student with us; I'd like you all to treat her
well."
A girl with straight dark blue hair all the way to her waist with little curls
at the bottom, and ocean blue eyes walked into the class, "This is Chan
Xylo."
~ ~ ~ ~ ~
"Chan Xylo . . ." Syaoran said more to himself
then to the others.
"Ya, that's her name, how did you know?" Asked Rika.
"Huh, o she was a class mate of mine in China."
"They say she has been traveling all around the world." Said Tomoyo.
"RRRRIIIINNNNGGGG!!!"
Everyone ran out of the classroom.
"Syaoran, can you come to my house and stay for
dinner?"
"Please, just to celebrate you're coming back." Asked Sakura.
"Well . . . I don't kno—"
"Oh please Syaoran." Sakura cut him off. And gave him her best puppy
face.
How am I supposed to say no to that?
"Sure Sakura."
"Hai!"
Sakura took Syaoran's arm and dragged him to her house.
Sakura opened the door to the house.
"Touya, Onii-chan, I'm home!"
Syaoran stopped mid step hearing his enemy's name.
Touya came down the stairs.
"Hey Kaijou—"
"Who's he?" Touya said, sending a glare at the young man he
saw in front of his eyes.
Sakura could see that Syaoran was also giving her brother an evil glare.
Why is he so familiar to me? Have I seen him before? And my do I have the feeling that I have to hate him, can it be, no he's in China, but is it, he looks practically just like . . .
"Chinese Brat?"
"What are you doing here?!"
"You're supposed to be in Hong Kong!"
"Well I decided to come back, have a problem with that?" Syaoran
said in a normal cool voice. This was a very normal conversation, but still
keeping his glare stern.
"Yes I have a problem with th—"
"Syaoran, uh, well while you're here can you help me with my math?"
Ahhhh, what was I thinking of course she only wanted me to come to help her with her math, why was I thinking else wise?
"Ya, sure I guess."
"Why do you need him to help you with your math? You have me here to help
you." Touya said in a very annoyed voice.
Sakura lead Syaoran to her room even though Syaoran has been there so many times before and already knew his way around her house.
They finally got to her room, as she opened her door. She remembered how messy it was, and closed it shut quickly, before Syaoran could see any of the things that made her room so messy, such as her Syaoran bear, all the pictures of Syaoran she has been looking at for the past years, tapes she borrowed from Tomoyo, and the wet stains she has on her bed sheets from the times she cried on her bed, and didn't bother to change the sheet.
"What's wrong?" Syaoran asked when
he saw how fast Sakura slammed the door shut.
"Um, my room is pretty messy and I really don't want you seeing
it like that."
"It's ok, I don't mind, it doesn't matter to me."
With that Syaoran reached for the handle of the door.
"Iie!"
"Really Syaoran, there is no space to work, lets work at the library or
something."
"Sakura, I haven't been here for months but I still know that the
library is never open on Wednesdays."
"Oh, ya, let's work at King Penguin Park then."
"Um, Sakura, it will be mobbed with children at this time, we won't
get any work done."
"Ok, ok, where will we work then?"
"Well you could come to my apartment, we could work there."
"Hai, that's sounds ok, I guess."
After I come back the first thing I'm going to do is clean up my room and return the tapes back to Tomoyo.
They finally reached Syaoran's apartment.
"Sorry, I didn't get to unpack yet so it seems kind of spacious."
"Oh, um its ok I don't mind."
"Right then."
He opened the door and inside were dusty and disserted rooms.
"Wow, it looks like no one has lived here for a few years."
"Two years to be exact."
"Hoe??"
"Well, you see I kind of asked the manager of the apartment to keep this
room for me in case I decide to come back, so probably that's why."
"Oh, ok then."
"Do you live here all alone?"
"Huh, ya I guess."
"Don't you feel lonely sometimes, I know I would."
"No . . ."
Not as long as I know that you live only a few blocks away and I can see you whenever I want.
"So, should we start with you're math now."
"Hoe??"
"Oh, no we don't have math homework remember, I just said that to
get away from Toya." Stated Sakura.
"Oh, ya . . ."
"So, what should we do then?" asked Syaoran.
"I don't know, maybe we should clean up you apartment, it's
so messy."
"So messy that I wouldn't let you in." Syaoran said with a
smirk spread onto his lips.
"Ok, my room is more messy then this, so what."
"Um, let's start with your room."
"No!"
"What? Your room can't be that messy."
"Um, no, but it's just that . . . I already cleaned it, ya."
"Oh, ok let's start on the other rooms then."
What is he hiding in that room that he has to be so secretive about?
All day Sakura and Syaoran cleaned the apartment.
"Woooo!" Sakura said as she collapsed on the sofa in the living
room.
"Finally we're done."
"It's 8:00, I'll make dinner then you can go home, I don't
want your brother annoying me."
Syaoran went into the kitchen and looked into the fridge, he only bought a few things yesterday after he came back from China.
I wonder what I should make her. It's been so long since I've cooked for her, I don't even know if she still likes the same stuff, oh there is so much I have missed of her life.
Syaoran sighed as he opened the fridge and took out some noodles, then started his oven and put a pot filled with water on the stove and waited for it to boil.
* * * *
Sakura was walking around Syaoran's apartment remembering the time Syaoran
got sick and she came over with food that her brother cooked, and made him some
honey milk.
She sighed remembering all the times they spent together
Oh, Syaoran it has been so long since we've seen each other there is
so much to catch up on.
Then Sakura saw a small bag that was half way opened.
Syaoran-kun and me unpacked all of his luggage. I'm
sure of it.
Hmm, I wonder what could be in the bag. Probably just clothes.
Sakura went over to Syaoran's bag and unzipped it all the way, as she expected there were only clothes. But something told her to look deeper, so she started to shuffle the clothes around until she saw something wrapped in tissue paper.
Sakura started to unwrap the tissue paper.
Inside was a small scarf, probably the size of a ten year old's.
Then she started to smile.
Syaoran actually kept this junk, I thought he'd through it away when he arrived in China.
Sakura hugged the old scarf she made, when she was ten.
"RRIIIINNNNNGGGG"
Sakura rolled in her bed annoyed by the alarm indicating
it was 8:00.
She was trying to sleep through it for half an hour now.
"Sakura!!!"
"Kero-chan I'm trying to sleep."
"Sakura you going to be late for school!!" Kero-chan shouted in
her ear.
"Hoe!!!!"
"Kaijou!! Wake up!!" Toya shouted from down
stars.
Sakura scrabbled out of bed ran to the bathroom quickly took a shower, did her
hair and ran out of her room.
Down stars Toya was holding a giggle as Sakura came down stairs.
"What?" Sakura asked with a questioning look
on her face.
Toya didn't answer.
"I have no time for this."
Sakura started to put on her skates.
"Monster why are you going to school with your
pajamas?"
"Hoe!!!??" Sakura looked down at her self, puffed up her face, and
ran back up stairs and dressed. Then came back down stairs in the Seijou junior
high school uniform.
As she passed by her brother she kicked his shin, pouted
and said "Sakura-chan no Kaijou!!"
"OWWWW!!"
Sakura quickly put on her rollerblades and raced to school.
Few! I made it just on time
Sakura went to her locker, changed into shoes and ran to her class.
Just as she sat in her seat, Terada sensei entered the
class and said,
"Quiet down everybody!"
"Well as most of you have already found out we are having a Mystery challenge
in the school to celebrate Halloween. It will take place next week, and will
last all week long so all classes will be cancelled."
"The grade sevens, that's you, will be the ones figuring the Mystery
out, and the grade eights will be setting it up, being suspects, cancellers,
setting out the story and so on."
This made a commotion in the class.
"Quiet!"
The class became silent.
"Well we would like you all to welcome another new transferred student to our school."
"Please welcome Chan Xylo."
Xylo walked into the class, again as before, all the boys were drooling, though this time there was something different about her. Around her neck was a black velvet collar, with a blackish kind of blue sapphire in the middle.
Sensei cleared his throat.
"Xylo you may sit next to Chiharu."
"Um, Chiharu may you raise your hand so Xylo knows were to sit."
"Yes sensei." Chiharu said as she raised her hand.
"Um, before we continue I would like to introduce, another student that will be in our class, please welcome Kinowa Alyana."
Walking into the classroom was a girl with waist long silky blonde hair, with ocean blue eyes that were identical to Xylo's. Around her neck was a snow-white velvet collar with a clear white sapphire in the middle.
Again the boys were drooling over Alyana.
Xylo gave her an evil glare there was something about that girl that made her very uncomfortable.
All of a sudden both Xylo, and Alyana's sapphires
started to glow.
They quickly covered their necks with their hands.
Sakura and Syaoran got a glimpse of the glow, and of the power that came from the collars.
Something is different about those two. I better keep an eye on them, they could be dangerous.
Thought Syaoran as a shiver ran down his spine.
Hmm, I swear I felt an aura from those two. Ah, I was probably imagining it; I better ask Kero or Syaoran to reteach me how to detect auras.
Just then Sakura felt the same shiver crawl down her spine.
