Summary: Maybe one day she would see me for who I was, and then she'd feel the same way as I did for her, but it always felt like the moment would never come. She would never see the true me, and she'd go on with her life without any guilt. Oh the woe of a cat.
Chapter 2: The Confusing Past
During my first day there, I gradually began to rediscover the meaning of family at the quaint household. Once the father, archaeologist Fujitaka came back, Sakura and he would begin to cook fanciful dinners that I've forgotten the names of, though one dish smelled surprisingly like the Chicken Delight canned food that they served to me. In the middle of the porcelain plate was a honey brown chicken, carefully adorned with greens and various red spices. Whatever it was called, once I looked at it, a flood of visions swirled before my eyes: There was a family of seven seated at a grand white table… four girls, one younger boy, and two parents, whose appearance basically shouted out 'regal' to the world.
Once again, that brought me back to the present. You see, the reason for my rebellious nature was not because I was a curious adventurer dying for action in my life, but because I too was once a human. Before that event three years ago, I was living the life that most would dream of having. At the young age of twelve, I, Syaoran Li of Hong Kong, was chosen to become the heir to the prominent and wealthy Li clan after my father vanished. With material luxuries and servants everywhere to fulfill my requests, life would seem like heaven to most, but to me, I'd give them up any day, because the wealth brought gold-diggers like flies to honey. No one in the entire city could be called my true friend, since all of my so-called companions were aiming to get a part of my money and fame. Even my closest cousin Meiling turned on me when a kid from a more prominent family moved to town.
Just five days before my seventh birthday, I was bombarded with even more troubles. Father and Mother were deemed missing while on a business trip in Beijing. My sisters who were currently residing at the city college had even worse misfortune. The family servant, Wei, put it in these words, "An evil bully threw tiny steel rocks at Feimei and Fuutie, and your other sisters fell off from a really high staircase, so they're somewhere up there treating their wounds. Syaoran, they'll come back eventually, but don't expect them for a while."
What can I say? I was beyond forlorn back then, so I decided to disguise myself each day, starting from my upcoming birthday, and attempted to make friends as a normal civilian did while walking around Hong Kong, in order to keep myself sane. Needless to say, the results turned out to be pretty disappointing. Just as I lost my hopes of ever finding my one trusty companion, my whole life went berserk. There was this boy at the park, Eriol Hiiragizawa, if I can recall, who I discussed my problems with. We met every week under the towering oak and joked about our horrible lives which resulted from being born with a silver spoon. He suddenly asked me one day if I wished for anything, and to be glad or regretful that I took this as a joke, I'm still not sure, but I desired for a more interesting life… filled with friends, family, and loads of fun…
… and here I am, the puny yellow cat, Kero Kinomoto, pigging out on some Chicken Delight in the quiet and charming town of Tomoeda, Japan, miles away from the Li Mansion in Hong Kong.
A/N: Tips on how to improve please? xD I've thought of a plot for Chapter 3/and or 4. Now to put it on paper… scratch that, I meant computer documents.
