Note: Thoughts of Syaoran Li.
Chapter 1:
Transfer Student
The summer breeze fills the air as I stand at the gates of my school. I sigh, wishing we didn't already have to go back. The perfect day to be out and enjoying summer is the day we have to go back, ironic, isn't it?
I get out of my loathing for school when I feel a shove from behind. "Hey, Syao, been a while, hasn't it?" This freshman is Eriol, tall, dark-haired, a bit of a trouble maker, other wise a real catch for our fellow feminine classmates.
Smiling, I playfully punch him, "Yeah, where've you been all summer, Mars?"
Eriol grins sheepishly and we head to the school. "Actually..." He motions to come closer, I lean in.
"I'm going out with Tomoyo." Eriol whispers, pride woven in.
"What? Tomoyo?" Seriously?! I swear I'm gonna bombard him with questions until he answers! I smacked him on the head "You should've told me, Baka!"
"Yeah, yeah." Eriol says nonchalantly as he rubs the spot where I hit him, wincing.
"So? How'd it happen?"

My name is Syaoran Li, I'm 6,1" and everyone calls me Syao (without my permission, I'm not fond of it, but I deal) and I'm in 9th grade I'm 15 and I love sports (just ask Eriol!).
My hair is a dark brown and slightly curly, my eyes are a golden brown and my school uniform is a plain white t-shirt (dark red jacket in winter) with the school emblem and the pants are a matching dark red.
Readjusting my backpack, I head into the Tokyo highschool that could be qualified as a prison.
--
Homeroom is always the same, each and every year. It's like a family reunion, everyone's talking about their vacation and getting familiar with everyone again.
I noticed Eriol and Tomoyo getting cornered by an Eriol fanclub that formed throughout the years. They started their interrogation.
Laughing, I let my gaze wander to the window I sat next to. Clear blue sky, the sun at it's zenith. A really beautiful day. I then see movement from the courtyard and notice a figure running frantically and breezes through the courtyard. Was that...a girl? I couldn't be positive, the figure was too fast. But I did catch a glimpse of the girl's uniform. I shrugged and continued to watch my classmates chat amongst themselves.
"Okay, class, settle down, settle down." said a gruff voiced teacher, that opened the classroom door.
Just like that everyone got into their seats.
"My name is Mr.Yuichi and I'm your homeroom teacher, as you know. Now, highschool is a great responsibility..."
I focused on my desk and played at the loose wooden strips. Teachers. They always do their 'highschool is a great responsibility' speech.
"I would like to introduce you to a new transfer student. Please welcome her warmly."
Huh?
Right after he said that, the door slid open once again to reveal a girl of 14, she had light short brown hair and bright green eyes. She was smiling and wore the girls uniform, White T-shirt and a red plaid skirt with knee high white socks and black shoes. She strode into the room with an elegance that didn't go unnoticed and quickly wrote her name on the board.
Sakura Avalon. Not a Japanese name, she is defiantly a transfer student. And a cute one, too. Came a small voice in the back of my mind.
I gasped and bonked my head on my desk. Stupid thought!
I then felt the whole class's gaze on me and straightened up, an uncomfortable heat rising to my face.
I jumped back as I noticed the new transfer student Sakura stand next to me and was holding out her hand in greeting. I felt the whole class staring at me expectantly. I smiled and shook her hand (I think that's what you're supposed to do) and she sat down to the vacant chair next to me.
-
At lunch, I planned to sit with Eriol but my science teacher called me over and said "I would like you to show Sakura around, please get her acquainted with everyone please." He then left me without waiting for a reply.
Great.
So here I am sitting at my seat near the window and eating my lunch silently. While Sakura stayed silent with me.
I guess I have to break it, the silence.
"So, I guess we're sitting next to each other for the rest of the year, by the way, I'm Syaoran. Syaoran Li." I smiled and faced her as I said this.
She bowed slightly and murmured quietly, "I'm Sakura, but you know that. Um... I'm originally from America. It's nice to meet you, Syaoran."
Finally! Someone who doesn't call me Syao!
"Yeah, hey, did you have to move here because of Parent's work?" That was usually the reason, though I don't have parents myself.
"Actually, I just found the expense to live around here to be easier. I don't have parents, I live...alone. But I have a really nice landlord and she helps me out." She smiled as she replied, not even flinching when she said she didn't have parents.
"Oh, sorry. I guess you live in Tokyo then?" I said, keeping the conversation going.
"Yeah, really close to the school, too. Though I was almost late anyway." she laughed, the smile still on her face.
"Ah, you were that girl this morning that was running through the courtyard!" I said pointing out to the courtyard out side my window.
"That was the courtyard? I didn't know. I thought it was a short cut." She replied bluntly, staring out at the courtyard below.
"Wait, you should've been late if you came from the first floor." Looking at the room number, 301. We're on the third floor...holy cow she's fast!
"Well, I used to be on a track team, I'm used to running fast." she said, giggling as she saw my expression of amazement clear on my face.
You must be. I thought in awe as she got up and threw out her lunch. I realized I barley touched mine and stuffed my mouth with food as the bell rung.

Sakura's POV
School was not the least bit exciting, but my classmate Syaoran was nice. He showed me around and introduced his friends to me.
The classes were easy and I explored the school with Syaoran at the free period. I took note of the Art room where I felt a pulse of something dark in that room.
What do you think?
Hmm...let's check it out at night.
okay.
I am not human, I am a "robot" of sorts and I have come here with a mission.
-
I waved goodbye to Syaoran as he left in the direction of his house. I smiled to myself slightly and walked quickly to my apartment, saying hello to my neighbor, Kobato who was a good friend of mine from overseas.
I got my key and unlocked the door, I went inside and flopped onto my bed. Waiting for night to come.
I stared out my window and looked at the red orange sky, a white crescent of the moon could be seen now. I saw a family happily talking with each other. There faces smiling brightly.
I continued to stare at them until they passed my window. My green eyes filled with tranquility as I saw the sky darken.
-
I must protect.
