Small ten year old Syaoran Li was dancing slowly with his sister in the dining of the Li mansion one afternoon.
"Mommy, I don't want to dance any more, dancing is for girls." Little Syaoran complained. His four sister began to laugh at there cute little brother. "Syaoran you must learn these things and pass them on to your son." Syaoran's Mother said while pouring herself some green tea. "Yuck! I'm not getting married," Syaoran said as his sister turned him around.
"Listen Syaoran, your going to fall in love soon and you won't ever know it" Said his third eldest sister. "Whatever, I'm not going to kiss anyone." Syaoran said stubbornly. "Time to say the family poem, Syaoran." His mother said. Syaoran smiled and stop dancing and ran over to a little box to stand on. "You ready?" His sister asked. "I know all the words now." Syaoran said firmly. "Begin." She said as they sat down to listen.
"One's heart is locked inside of mine, I must find a key to your heart where love was found long ago. A kiss of someone you wish you knew and something to regret, this maybe confusing to tell you how I feel about someone. Look for my heart where the key was found. I well be loved by someone someday. And where I kiss you well be where the key is." Syaoran said perfectly and clearly.
His mother and four sister began to cry. "That family poem was mushy, what does it mean Mother?" Syaoran asked walking over with some tissues. "Well, little brother you well find out soon, don't worry," His second eldest sister said. Syaoran shrugged his shoulders not thinking another thought of the poem. Then someone came running, screaming 'Mistress!' over and over. "What is it Shuchi?" Syaoran said. "Master Li was found," The maid said panting. "Daddy!" Syaoran yelled running out the door. Syaoran four sister and mother came running behind.
"Daddy!" Syaoran yelled again stopping at the opened front door. Syaoran looked confused. "What's wrong with daddy?" He said. Syaoran sister stopped in there tracks while his mother went over to him. "I'm sorry," Said a house servant. "Your husband was tortured over the months, he's dead."
Syaoran's mother fell over his loves' dead body and began crying. "Why is mommy crying?" Syaoran asked. "Daddy is dead, Syaoran." His fourth eldest sister answered sadly. His four sister began crying. Syaoran didn't believe a word. "Dad promised he would teach me fighting." Syaoran said beginning to cry. Someone busted threw the door suddenly making Syaoran's heart quicken with fear.
"Lucy I'm home!"
Syaoran's mother looked to the people that shouted and turned pale. "Kids run!" She said. Syaoran took his sister's hand and began to run without question of what was going on.
"Mother who is that?" Syaoran yelled. "You don't want to know just run!" She yelled. Two more men grabbed Syaoran's sister knocking Syaoran down on the floor ruffle. "Hey girlie." The ugly man said is a nasty tone. Syaoran's sister was trying to fight him off but he wouldn't let go his grip was too strong. Syaoran saw a gun next to him. "Leave my sister along!" Syaoran shouted aiming the gun at the man's head. "Little punk, you don't even know how to use it." He said getting off his sister. Syaoran's finger began to twitch. "Take this!" Syaoran yelled firing the gun. The bullet went threw his left eye and out his head. Syaoran tried to help his sister up but she was already up and running.
"Mommy!" Syaoran yelled. Syaoran's mother head was half off and bleeding really bad she was dead in a matter of seconds. "Hey you," Syaoran said to the man in front on him. "Hey kid, give me the gun." The murderous man demanded in a harsh tone. Syaoran fired but there wasn't any bullets in the gun chamber. Syaoran dropped the gun and began running. His sister pushed the guys out the way. "C'mon sisters, we have get out of here!" Syaoran called. The five of them to the first floor guest room. One of his sister push a bed that was hiding a passage way. "Syaoran, hurry go in the left tunnel and go!" She demanded. Syaoran began crying violently from everything that was happening so fast. "No come with me." He pleaded.
"Syaoran, listen we won't fit in those tunnels at once, just go we'll be fine." The eldest sister said to Syaoran. "No, you won't you'll get killed. Syaoran said crying even harder. Foot step began to come closer. "Syaoran take this key and go," his eldest sister said giving her brother a kiss on the cheek before he went into the tunnel. Syaoran began to crawl threw the tunnel. Syaoran ran to the front of the house at fast as his short legs could carry him. Fire began to come out the windows, Syaoran could hear his sister's screaming in pain. Being burned alive. Syaoran's human feeling began to slip away. He hated the world and the people. They killed his family.
Syaoran was taken in by a shrine master who began teaching him fighting styles, different kinds of herbal medicines. Syaoran was put in the news paper worldwide saying that he was richest teenage in the world. Since all he family died he gained there fortune. And a box that had he grandfather's greatest fortune. But he was mainly trying to solve the poem of his family. His master told him it was a riddle poem and could only be solved by future event that are going to happen.
Six years past since Syaoran's family died, but the feelings were still with him. So he decided to move to Japan to start a new life, and a new mystery.
"Sakura hurry up were goin' to miss the new students introduction." Tomoyo shouted while running. Sakura Kinomoto came running with her amber honey hair bouncing as she ran. "I hope it's a girl, that way I'll have enough votes to make a newspaper, Just for girls." Sakura said catching up to her best friend Tomoyo Daidoji.
Sakura and Tomoyo work at the school newsletter and papers for school credits. "Morning everyone." Sakura and Tomoyo said in unison. "Hey Sakura," Said Rika smiling. "I hope it's a girl so we can get more vote's for the girls only newspaper." She said taking her seat. "Good morning class," Said Ms. Pily said to the class.
"Good morning Ms. Pily." The students said together. "I know you heard there is a new student right?" She said smiling. The class began to mutter yes. "Please come on in, Syaoran." Ms. Pily said. Syaoran walked in slowly. All the girls eyes lite up, just what they needed this summer. Syaoran walked in front on the class with his stomach turning at all the face.
"Everyone this is Syaoran Li, he came all the way from Hong Kong, so a little respect to him."
Syaoran bowed polity even thought he didn't want to. Sakura was reading an old newspaper about the richest boy in the world. "Syaoran take your seat in the three row, Li" She said pointing at the empty seat. All the girl watched him walk slowly over to his seat. Sakura looked at him then the picture on the news paper. "Tomoyo, It's him." She whispered to Tomoyo. "Sakura what are you talking about?" Tomoyo whispered back. Sakura showed Tomoyo the picture when the heard tapping. "Sakura and Tomoyo is there something that you would like to share with the class?"
"No Ms. Pily," Tomoyo and Sakura said. Tomoyo gasped. "Sakura we have to interview him, we'll have the best newspaper in the world," Tomoyo said with stars in her eyes.
Later on that day at gym...
"Hello every one, hello new faces, today we'll have a longer gym time so be ready for the balancing beam." The gym teacher Mr. Kikicola said firmly. The student's began to moan and mutter thing to each other, But Syaoran was quiet. "Okay Sakura lets see what you got." Mr. Kikicola said looking at a chart.
Sakura jumped on the beam and pointed her feet balancing perfectly. Sakura stopped and flipped and landed on her feet. She did it three more time and flipped perfectly onto the floor. The Students clapped and cheered for Sakura flawless performance. "Very good Sakura," Said the guy teacher then looking back to the chart.
"Okay Syaoran Li come on up to the beam," Mr. Kikicola. Syaoran walked over to the beam and looked at it. "Too easy," Syaoran said to the teacher. "What do you mean Syaoran?" Mr. Kikicola said. "This is what I mean," Syaoran said he picked him self up and did a perfect hand stand.
"Don't you have something harder then this," Syaoran walking on his hands on the beam. Syaoran landed back on his feet and still on the beam. Syaoran did six back flips and landed with a twist. "Yes, the bars over there," Mr. Kikicola said pointing at a big and small bar. Syaoran walked over.
"Sakura, would you like to join me?" Syaoran asked coldly. Sakura nodded and ran over. "I just hope you'll know what you doing here." Mr. Kikicola said. "Don't worry about it, I'm using her as a reminder to be more advance, this is high school" Syaoran said helping her on the small bar. Sakura began to swing around and stopping at the top.
"Now everyone, if you want to learn something be advanced, you have to learn to control your grip and speed." Sakura jumped off the bar then Syaoran got on.
Syaoran began swing around the bar. Mr. Kikicola watched in shock. Sakura and Tomoyo and the other students were watching in shock too. They didn't think anyone could do that in Japan well at least the school. Syaoran flipped over to the bigger bar and held a handstand for a minute and flipped off. The student began clapping.
"That was wonderful Syaoran, I didn't think you were that advance," Mr. Kikicola said. Syaoran didn't say anything. He hated people they were cruel and weak.
After school...
"Tomoyo you interview him I hate that job," Sakura complained. "Sakura please I don't to write down the question's and answers I don't know what to say in interviews," Tomoyo protested. "Fine, let's flip a coin." Sakura said. "No cheating, I call heads," Tomoyo said. "Fine, Head I lose and tail you win," Sakura said taking a dime out her pocket and flip it. "Let it fell." Tomoyo said. The dime fell on tail. "Ha! you have to interview him Sakura." Tomoyo said laughing.
"Damn it," Sakura spat picking up her dime. "Okay Sakura remember don't ask any stupid questions," Tomoyo advised her. Syaoran was starching. Sakura and Tomoyo opened the gym door and walked in. Sakura and Tomoyo watched Syaoran and began feeling funny in the stomach's seeing him lifting his legs over his head. "That's gotta hurt." Tomoyo said. "That's for sure," Sakura said in agreement.
Syaoran looked and saw them. 'Why me?' Syaoran thought. Syaoran stood up and back flipped over to them. "What do you want?" Syaoran asked. Tomoyo pushed Sakura. "Well, we noticed that you were in the newspaper six years ago saying that you were the richest person in the world, is it true?" Sakura asked.
Syaoran look at Tomoyo then Sakura. "Don't tell me you want to interview me and become the best newspaper in the world right?" Syaoran said. Tomoyo laughed a little "Pretty much," Tomoyo answered.
Syaoran smiled mocking Tomoyo. "I don't think so I had enough of you people," Syaoran said getting his bag and walking out the gym. "Can I just ask a few questions?" Sakura said. Syaoran stopped and look at Sakura. "You just did," He said. Sakura and Tomoyo stopped in there tracks. "He's got some beef," Tomoyo said. Sakura nodded. "Sakura don't give up, remember the dream." Tomoyo said walking away. Sakura nodded and followed Syaoran to the bathroom.
"Syaoran Li, right?" Sakura asked catching up to him. "Yeah, I told you I don't want to be bugged by interviewers and that means you." Syaoran said walking out the school doors. "Well, I'm not leaving until I get my story." Sakura stubbornly walking behind him. Syaoran began to walk home when he heard humming.
He turned around and saw that Sakura was still there. Syaoran sighed and began to run. Sakura ran after him into the forest. Sakura stopped and saw that he fell off the cliff. "Oh God." Sakura said backing up. Then something grabbed her and put the hand over her mouth. "If you don't leave me along that's going to be you down that cliff." Syaoran said in an ICE COLD tone.
Sakura finally broke free. "Syaoran, I'm just asking you for one hour and that's it, I promise I won't bug you after this," Sakura said begging now. Syaoran was quite for a minute. "Please." Sakura pleaded giving him the sad eyes. Syaoran sighed giving in but not to her puppy dog eyes. "Fine, just a long as you down ask me anything sex related." Syaoran said walking out the forest. Sakura squealed and jumped up and down with joy.
Syaoran turned around. "Hurray up, I don't have all day you know," Syaoran said coldly. Sakura nodded and ran over to him. As Sakura and Syaoran walk to his place Sakura was blushing a little. She never walked with a boy along. Sakura then looked at Syaoran. His face had no emotion. "Stop staring at me," Syaoran said still looking forward. 'How did he know I was looking at him' Sakura thought. Syaoran stopped and took out his house keys. Syaoran house was small but big enough for two or four people.
Syaoran took off his shoes. Sakura gasped she thought it was going to be all messy, but It was really neat and spotless. "Nice place." Sakura commented. "Thanks, do you want some tea?" Syaoran asked walking in the kitchen still feeling disgusted that he had given into this stupid girls antics. "Yes, please, And Is it okay if I can walk around?" Sakura asked looking to Syaoran in the kitchen. "Fine, but don't touch anything." Syaoran said taking two cup out the cabinet. Sakura walk over to the kitchen and saw a wonderland like garden.
"Wow, you planted all those by your self?" Sakura asked. "Some of them." Syaoran answered plainly not looking to Sakura or the garden. Sakura walked out the kitchen and went upstairs. Sakura walked to the bathroom. It looked like it cost a million dollars. Sakura then saw a small beam of light coming from a door behind her. Sakura walk and opened the door. It was a small room and it also had a little shrine.
Sakura walked over to a small bookshelf. 'Wow,' She thought. Sakura picked up a corner burned picture. "Is this his family?" Sakura said out loud. "I thought I told you not to tough anything," Syaoran said in the shadows with two tea cups in his hands. "Sorry." Sakura said. Syaoran walked over to her and gave her the tea cup. Syaoran took the picture from her hand and put in back. "Is that your family?" Sakura asked. Syaoran took a sip of his tea. "Yes," Syaoran said. Sakura walked out the room and went down stairs with Syaoran. "Do they still live with you?" Sakura asked.
Syaoran walked in the dinning room and sat down on the couch. Sakura took out a tape recorder and sat it on the coffee table that was in-between the couch and a chair. "No," Syaoran answered. "So there back home where you use to live at?" Sakura asked. Syaoran sat his cup down on the coffee table.
"No, there all dead," Syaoran said remembering what happened that day still hearing the screams of his sisters. "Then why are you here?" Sakura asked. "I'm here because I looking for my cousins, there the only blood family I have left," Syaoran said shaking the thought's from his head. Sakura saw something shine in the conner her eye. "What's that?" Sakura asked pointing. "My mother's box, My grandfather gave it to her." Syaoran said walking over to it and taking it to her to see. "My mother always puts important thing in this box." Syaoran said.
Sakura's gasped at the beauty of the box. It was made with crystals, diamonds, and emeralds. Syaoran looked at the emeralds and looked into Sakura's eyes. "The emeralds match your eyes," Syaoran said taking a chain off his neck that hung a key. Sakura blushed at what he said. "You think so?" Sakura said. "Yep," Syaoran said opening the box. and taking out a piece of paper that had a poem on it. Sakura began to read the poem out loud.
"One's heart is locked inside of mine, I must find a key to your heart where love was found long ago. A kiss of someone you wish you knew and something to regret, this maybe confusing to tell you how I feel about someone. Look for my heart where the key was found. I well be loved by someone someday. And where I kiss you well be where the key is."
"That's my family's poem, My father introduced it into the family, I hated that poem when I was young, " Syaoran said taking the paper from Sakura's hand as she handed it over to him. "How old were you when your family died?" Sakura asked. Syaoran's hand curled into a fist on his lap. "I was 10," He said. 'Wow I know he must feel really bad,' Sakura thought. "How'd they die?" Sakura asked. Syaoran took a sip of his tea.
"Since my mother and father were rich so they had many people that hated them, My father was always away but my mother still loved him, I last time a saw him was on May 1, the day they found him, he was tortured to death, my mother head was half chopped off two of my sister was killed by these men I only kill one of those bastards, and my sister forced me to go threw the under ground passage way to escape, As I ran back to my home, I heard the screams of my two sister as they were being burn alive." Syaoran said curling his fist really hard as his finger nail dug in his skin making him bleed.
Sakura began to understand why he go all that money, his family died so he got his sisters money, his father and mother's money. Syaoran uncurled his fist bloody fist and went to the kitchen and washed his hands. "Syaoran are you okay?" Sakura asked. "I'm fine, and your time is up," Syaoran said trying wrapping bandages around.
Sakura stopped the tapped recorder. "Here, let me help you," Sakura said helping him wrapping the bandages. "I'm so sorry Syaoran, they didn't put all that in the newspaper on you, My mother died when I was three I don't remember much about her but I know how it feels," Sakura said finishing wrapping Syaoran's hands. Syaoran looked into Sakura eyes and Sakura looked back. Sakura blushed a little. "Um... I better go, see you at school tomorrow," Sakura said putting on her shoes and walking out the door.
Syaoran walked upstairs and took his shirt off and turned on the shower. "Mother I need your wisdom...more then ever," Syaoran said in the small room with the shrine.
