"InnoCent From Amber"

Chapter 1- "The Beginning of Sweet Revenge"

By Rushi Star

In the Li Mansion

In a dark room where a shadowy figure stood looking out of the window. As the crystal clear rain poured down as the wind blew with great force against the glass window. The figure slowly turn on a small lamp as he walked over to a huge bed, that was in a horrible mess. The green sheets where all over the room along with papers, pictures, a white tuxedo, and white roses that were scattered all over the floor. The figure slowly kneeled by the bed and slowly picked up a picture and looked at it with great sadness. Amber eyes held a watery surface as fresh tears slowly rolled down his pink cheeks. A soft cry could be heard as his right hand began to shake with the picture. A picture showed a beautiful girl with light brown hair and beautiful baby blue eyes, that was being hugged from behind by a taller man with messy amber hair and shinny amber eyes, both figures showed beautiful smiles showing their happiness with one another.

"Ming, my beloved Ming, why did you leave me?"

"I can't live without you!!" the voice went from soft tone to cold and hateful tone as he threw the picture to the floor and started throwing and breaking everything around him. Trying to make the pain that was tearing him a part, somehow stop, but it wouldn't stop, the pain seemed to keep growing in his heart.

"Syaoran Li!!!"

"Control yourself!!" came a firm voice as Yelen Li, showed up and ran to Syaoran that stopped and looked at her and slowly he lowered his face letting his bangs cover his eyes as he waited for his mother to lecture him once again. Yelen was a young woman that had shinny black hair and dark eyes as she slowly hugged her favorite son.

"Son, it will be alright, all that you need is time to heal," came her plain response as she continued to hug him.

"Mother…,"

" Please leave me alone, I wish to be alone," came Syaoran cold response without moving an inch. Yelen was a little shocked, but soon she let go of him and nodded her head and walked away, but before she closed the door behind her she…

"Syaoran, I hope the old Syaoran will return soon, because your ant is getting sicker with each passing day, so please hurry I need you to give me your support against her," and with that said she closed the door.

To be honest Yelen did care for Syaoran, but she hated the fact that Ming left Syaoran the way she, couldn't she have waited a little bit later, but she knew it wasn't Ming fault because it was always God's. All her life she was the shadow of her sister, while Helene got her parent's attention, loving husband and fortune she was left with no one.

"That's all she fucking cares about the stupid money, it's always been the fucking money!!!!!!!!!"

"Why does life and love have to be so complicated!!!" and with that said Syaoran launched his whole body into the silkiness of his bed and soon feel asleep dreaming of his beloved Ming.

"Ming, I will never forget you,"

Somewhere else

"Dad, I'm going out to work, I'll see you later tonight!!" a young girl with long amber hair and shinny emerald eyes slowly closed the door behind her. This old house was her beloved home that had two bedrooms, a small kitchen and a bathroom. Today was other day as usual, as the morning sun got higher into the sky, the more the street got busier. This young girl held a brown basket full of wild flowers as she started walking all over the busy streets of Hong Kong.

"Good luck, Sakura," came a voice from a room as Fijitaka Kinomoto prayed for his only daughter.

As people walked by her she would pick up a flower and tell them to buy it from her. But what most people did was to ignored her and continued with their busy schedules. There were times when some young men would buy some from her for their girlfriends, but if she was lucky she would sell half of the basket.

"Come on Sakura, you can do this! Your family needs the money" thought Sakura as she continued showing flowers to the people around her.

"Flowers for a pretty girlfriend, wife or friend!! Come and buy me a beautiful flower that will surely make the one you love smile!"

"I have all kinds of flowers!! Come and see!!" As Sakura with a bright smiled continued working she, had no clue of what the future would bring to her. As the day got darker and colder, Sakura decided it was time to go home as she only sold about ten flowers, but she was thankful for there would be times she couldn't sell any at all.

"I better hurry before Touya, gets worried again," thought Sakura as she walked back, some people would look at her and turn their head in a hurry, because of the appearance that she showed. A pair of torn jeans and a pink shirt, what had small holes in the edges, her hair was messy and her face had light dirt stains. Her shoes were brown and with small holes that were very visible.

"I better take the short cut again," thought Sakura as she turn into smaller streets that were less busy because no regular people lived in this part of the city. Only the rich and powerful people that own houses lived in this part. Her surrounding were full of beautiful mansions that had gorgeous gardens and pools.

"I wish I had a house like this one, one day" said Sakura out loud as she stopped walking and looked into a mansion that had its white front gates opened. It had a beautiful drive thru and in the middle was a water fountain. She took a few steps closed to the gates and was amazed by the beauty in front of her, but she failed to noticed that a pair of light brown eyes had noticed her presence.

"Young girl, do you need something!" came a cold voice as a Sakura looked at a tall woman that had light gray hair and very pale skin, but was beautiful as she slowly made her way to Sakura.

Sakura felt her cheeks go red from embarrassment and looked down without saying a word.

"I am sorry, I was just admiring your home," came Sakura fast reply.

"Yes, I have splendid home, but it was not made for people like you to live in, so please leave young girl," came the woman reply as she slowly observe Sakura's figure that slowly turn around and continue her way home. Without noticing that a flower fell from her basket as it slowly landed on the cold ground, it was a cherry blossom flower. Slowly it was picked up by the woman that slowly looked at it and soon turn around and walked back into the mansion with the flower in her hands. Holding it like it was something precious.

Many days had passed since that day but that didn't keep Sakura from using the shortcut to get home, but Sakura would often feel a pair of eyes looking at her from the mansion. To be honest Sakura didn't hate that woman for the cold words she told her, for she knew it was nothing but truth. Sakura in the other hand could feel the unhappiness coming from that woman everything she catch the woman looking at her.

Until a day Sakura was wearing a dirty old hat that belong to her older brother and as she continued walking home the wind suddenly blew the hat off, until it landed just about five inches away from that same mansion as Sakura ran after it.

"Oh! Come back hat!"

As Sakura reach to pick up the hat she noticed a shadow and as she looked up, she saw the same woman, but this time she had a smile on her pale face.

"Hello" came her flat response.

"Hi!" came Sakura's reply as she now looked at the woman but something inside Sakura told her she could trust the woman.

"Would you like a cup of tea with me?" asked the woman as she looked at Sakura.

"With me? "

"Yes, I would like to get to know you better---,"

"My name is Sakura Kinomoto and I will be grateful for a cup of tea," came Sakura warm reply.

"Beautiful name I must say it fits you perfectly, please follow me, Sakura," the woman turn around. Slowly Sakura followed her figure into the mansion but with each step that Sakura took she felt an uneasy feeling for she could feel a mysterious aura coming from the mansion. Very soon, both Sakura and the woman were sitting down in a table as a servant served them tea.

"Thankyou" said Sakura as she drank the tea.

"Now, Sakura do you have a family?"

"Yes, I have a father and a older brother that live at home"

"What about a mother?"

"My mother passed away when I was eight" came Sakura sad reply.

"Perfect!" came the woman reply as she now seriously looked at Sakura closely.

"I have been observing you every time you cross my house and I have noticed that you are a caring and loving person, what would you say if I made you the owner of this mansion and all of my possessions?" came the woman voice shocking Sakura that just looked at her like she was crazy.

"What!?!"

"Maybe I should introduce myself first, my name is Helen Xin Li, I own everything you see here,"

"Wait, a second lady, don't you have your own family?"

"I have no children and the only family I have is my twin sister and her spoiled children that live in this mansion with me, but believe me they have lived off my money for way too long. Her children are grown men and with great careers, they don't need my money, unlike you my dear," said Helen response.

"You are joking right," said Sakura with light laughter as she stood up not believing her ears.

"No, I am a person that never jokes with things like this but, look at it this way I can make all of your most desired dreams become a reality,"
