Authors Note; Alright so this isn't the most original of ideas, I'm sure. It's summer and I need SOMETHING to keep my brain intact until fall. Please note that this fic isn't exactly on my priority list, so don't expect daily chapter updates. Reviews are welcome, but flaming is not. Thanks.
Chapter One: Collision
Syaoran doesn't know where the hell he is. He seems to be floating in some kind of blue void, like he were in the sky, or something. Then his blind eye starts to hurt like mad, and he claws at the surrounding skin as if he could contain the pain. He looks up with a grimace, and he sees a shadow slowly making its way toward him. It's clothes are billowing out behind it, and its… Its hair. It seems unusually familiar.
"Syaoran…" That voice. Where had he heard it… Syaoran wakes with a start, and recoils slightly at the sun that shines directly above him. He tries to get up, only to feel a gentle tug on arm. Looking down, he sees that Sakura has wrapped her arms around his in her sleep. A painful memory comes to his mind as Syaoran smiles gently and lays back down beside her. Moments later, she opens her eyes.
After Sakura's profuse blushing and apologies, the entire group is up. They make their way out of the forest, and begin to wander through the new world.
At the same time, Kinomoto Sakura and Li Syaoran are not too far from the groups location.
"I still don't see why the brat had to come with us," Kero whines. "I never get to spend time with Sakura nowadays!" Sakura rolls her eyes. After four years, I can't believe that Kero is still naïve to the fact that Syaoran and I… A blush creeps across her cheeks. Kero might be naïve, but Sakura's still as much as a child as she was four years ago.
"That's because we're–" Syaoran shakes his head. He too is embarrassed, and struggles to change the topic. "Do you feel it?"
Sakura closes her eyes, and opens them again. "Yes. It's coming from Penguin Park." Time has done a wonderful job to Sakura. In addition to her magical powers strengthening, she has changed physically in so many ways. She's grown by a few inches, and her facial features are not of a child. Her emerald eyes still hold a childlike innocence, but are soft rather than filled curiosity. A gentle smile graces her features, and is present only when he's with her. Her hair is slightly longer, and is let down, rather than the pigtails and bobbles she used to wear when she was younger.
"Be careful." Syaoran's a good head taller than Sakura now, but his facial features haven't changed much at all. Ferocity is still present in his chocolate brown eyes, though it's more protective than angry. His hair is still the same as ever; though a tad longer and of a slightly dark brown, it's still as if he'd only just gotten out of bed.
"It's getting stronger," Sakura says. The two wear the uniforms of Seijou High, seeing as they had just experienced their first day of high school. They wear light blue blazers and white dress shirts, and a navy, pleated skirt for Sakura, and navy slacks for Syaoran. They have been together for four years consecutively.
"Syaoran, it's not a Clow Card, or Clow Reed, is it?" Sakura asks, her green eyes wide, and lips in a pout. "I mean, I thought after The Hope, everything would be over…"
"No, it's something stronger," He replies, giving her hand a little squeeze. "Much stronger…" As the they go to turn a corner, they crash.
"Mekyo!" Mokono's eyes grow wide, as the jewel in the center of its forehead gives off a golden beam.
"You…" Kurogane growls. The Witch of Dimensions, Yuuko, smiles at them.
"So, where did you guys land this time?" She asks.
"I think we're in a town called Tomoeda," Fai replies.
"So I was right… That's where they are…" She mumbles and purses her lips.
"They?" Syaoran furrows his brow. "Who's they?"
Yuuko shakes her head and grins evilly. "It's nothing. Just don't be surprised if- Oh, damn, there they-" She disappears.
"What was she talking about?" Sakura tilts her head curiously.
"I don-" They go to turn the corner, and they bump right into two people.
Two pairs of identical voices shout, "Ah, I'm sorry!"
