Love Through a Fan
Chapter 2: Rumors and a Letter
By: Rosekeet

A/N: Well, I've gotten some positive reviews which is nice. Sorry, no Eriol and Tomoyo! That's not my thing. Tomoyo just seems so... single... This is a pure S+S fic. Thanks.

"Sakura! Did you hear?" Tomoyo asked as Sakura entered her house.
"Ho~e? Hear what?"
"I tell you once we're outside. Mother doesn't approve of gossiping." She whispered as she tied her sunhat on under her chin.
"Here are the baskets Miss." Hans said.
"Thank you Hans." Tomoyo said. "Ready, Sakura?"
"Yes. Oh, Hans,"
"Yes, Miss Kinomoto?"
"Magi is outside." she whispered as she followed Tomoyo out the door.

"What was it you wanted to tell me, Tomoyo?" Sakura asked as they walked out of the Dijidoshi cotton fields and onto a cobblestone path surrounded by lush green grass.
"Well, I heard, that the Li's are moving HERE!"
"The Li's? Here?" Sakura gaped.
"Yes. You know that lovely old mansion at the end of the road that no ones lived in since the Johnson's went broke?"
"Yes."
"Well, that's where they're moving!"
"Who told you this?"
"I heard it from Rika who heard it from Chihauru who heard it from Naoko who heard it from her cousins who lives next door to where they're moving too!"
"I don't believe it!" Sakura gasped.
"Well you should, because furniture and trunks and boxes started ariving today!"
The Li's were known through out the United States. They were one of the countries oldest and most prodigeous families. Which was some what suprising, considering Mr. Li had passed away 18 years ago, right after his only son, Syaoran was born. Sakura considered this for a moment as she stooped to pick a bluebell. It was rummered that Syaoran was a handsom young man, himself. She wrinkled her nose. He'll probably just be like all the others. She thought.

When Sakura and Magi arived at the Kinomoto Plantation after lunch she found Johnny waiting for her.
"A letter has just arived for you Miss." He said, taking her basket.
"Oh? Who from?" She said sounding puzzled.
"A man named Maruku. A servet of the Hie's I believe." Johnny said polietly handing Sakura the letter. Sakura nodded her thanks and went up to her rooms, Magi staying behind to put the flowers in a vase. She looked at the envolope. It had her name written on it in a stately hand writing. She carefully tore it open and took out the letter. She unfolded it gently. It was written on very fine stationary. She began to read.
Dear Miss. Kinomoto,

I implore of you not to think me impossibly rude for writing to you. It is just that after I met you at my families party yesterday I could not keep my mind off you. It would be to my utmost delight if I could get to know you better and meet your family. Perhaps we can all dine together sometime. Please send a reply by way of a servent.

Yours ever truly,
William Hie

Sakura bit her lip. William Hie wanted to see her?
"What can I do?" She moaned. "I must answer. It would be rude not to. What harm could one dinner do anyway?"
Satisfied with this thought, she called to Magi to tell her father to send an invitation to William Hie to dinner
