thankyou so much to the people who did leave behind their thougts, they are much appreciated!!
Kero looked at the young man with narrowed eyes.
"What," he started, "Did you call me?"
Li looked back at Kero unflinchingly and answered slowly, as though he was talking to a slow minded person, "Tooyyy."
Sakura tried to hold in her giggles, but with no success. She bursted out laughing, turning Kero's ferocious glare towards her.
"Whose side are you on?" he shouted
Sakura grinned and said sweetly, "Why, I am going with my savior. What did you think I would do? He is after all a very brave person, for Li is the first one to have stood up to you, after Kero the almighty has given THE glare."
Smoke was literally coming out of Kero's ears, making him look more like cartoonic figure, instead of the terrifying guardian he was aiming for.
Li shook his head in mock sympathy, and patted Kero's head. "It's not every day your best friend turns to the evil side. Dont stress about it."
That wasnt the right thing to do, because the small flying creature looked murderously at Li, with an idea forming in his head.
Sakura, knowing that Kero was going to do something stupid, quickly came in between the two, but too late. Kero had shot forward, attempting to hit Li, but instead bumping into Sakura. Hard.
The impact was so much, that Sakura fell over, landing on top of Li, since he had been standing behind her. When the two opened their eyes, they blushed a twin sunset, causing Kero to roar with laughter.
With a vain attemp, the two tried to get up, but just kept on ended up falling down again. In the end, Li patiently, but embarressingly, held Sakura by her shoulders and heaved her up. When Sakura was on her feet, she quickly scooped down holding out her hand to Li, who took it gratefully.
The two teenagers glared at Kero who was gasping for breath on the floor, after having laughed so hard,, "I -pant- have never -gasp- laughed-gasp- so hard -pant- im my -gasp- life"
Li made his way to the now vulnerable guardian, muttering angrily, "Why you little stuffed animal..."
Kero, who didn't realise the danger he was in, just kept on laughing. But when Li grabbed him by the scruff of his neck, the little creatured yelped in surpprise and shouted, "HEY!"
Sakura grinned and cheered Li on, smiling even wider when Kero bit the extremely tall boy's finger, "OW, OW, OW!!!!" Li exclaimed, trying to get his finger out of the small devil's mouth.
When he was finally successful, the two looked away from each other, having a feeling they wouldn't be getting along very well in the future. 'Wonder why' they both thought sarcastically.
"You do realise this means war, right?" Li asked Kero smirking slightly.
"You're on kid!" was his answer, as Kero stared into the amber eyes that had competition twinkling clearly.
"You two are so childish," sakura said, shaking her head. The two however pretended not to hear her as they started bickering about which flavour of icecream is better. Chocolate or bananna. Li was going for chocolate, leaving Kero with bananna. Secretly, Kero actually preferred chocolate, but he wasn't going to let this annoying child to find out.
Sakura went and sat opposite of Li, and scrutinised the boy, when he was fighting with Kero.
He had high cheekbones, and a strong jaw that snapped shut whenever he was angry or annoyed. His beautiful amber eyes had this stubborn and determine look in them, which many people could mistake as being frightningly serious. It was obvious that he didn't smile to just everyone the way his eyes suggested, but putting all that seriousness aside, he was a really sweet and childish boy inside.
All in all, Sakura could not ignore it any longer. He was impossibly handsome, but it was clear that Li was oblivious to it.
Kero suddenly noticed the time, and scowling at the sky, as though it was the sun'd fault for not allowing him to continue his fight with the over- grown kid. "Damn it, as much as I would like to stay here and kick your sorry butt kid, it's time to go Sakura."
"Already?" Sakura asked, looking very disappointed, "but I was just starting to enjoy myself, and Li looked as though he was winning too!"
Putting that remark aside, Kero gave her a look, making Sakura finally give in. But she suddenly seemed cheered up by a thought.
"Hey Li?" Sakura said going over to the boy who was getting his sword and crossbow. At the sound of his name he looked up. "Yeah?"
"Will you be able to come here tomorrow afternoon, after you finish your work?" Sakura continued looking up at him hopefully.
Li looked down at the girl who was a good head shorter than him, and grinned, "Sure."
"YES!!" Sakura exclaimed clapping her hands together in excitement. Then she added, "I'll bring my cousin, and you can bring yours too."
Li choked on air, "but why?"
"Because I want them to meet each other." Sakura said.
"There's no point arguing with you once your mind is set, right yout majesty?" Li muttered, his eyes narrowing into slits.
"Nope," She said cheerfully, but then she frowned, "and stop calling me 'you majesty'. That's not my name. My name is Sakura."
Li nodded, but his expression suddenly turned occupied, as though he was thinking. "It means cherry blossom."
Sakura looked at him in surprise, "Really?"
"Yeah. I have this book that tells you meanings from this really, really, really ancient language, and Sakura was one of them. It's not a very common name, but it means a very beautiful flower, which is cherry blossom."
Sakura beamed, "Now I FINALLY know what my name means! Thankyou! But what does your first name mean? Surely Li isn't your first name."
Li looked a bit uncomfortable so Sakura decided to drop the name subject by smiling mega brightly at him, "See ya tomorrow, Li!" and with that she rushed off to a very impatient and annoyed Kero who didnt look like he liked the fact of being ignored.
Looking at the fragile figure that jumped onto the black horse, and started cantering away, Li smiled gently and whispered, "You're right, Li isn't my first name."

Sakura glared at Touya. Touya glared at Sakura.
The two had just finished arguing about the fact Sakura and Tomoyo wanted to go to the forest, but Touya wouldn't let them. He had been absolutely crazy about the incident yesterday, and had shouted himself hoarse, shouting at Sakura why she had transported the carriage driver back to the castle, but not herself. She had stubbornly stated that Kero had been with her, and that the young man who had saved her, had been there aswell, only infuriating Touya even more.
"YOU HAVE BEEN IN THE COMPANY OF A TEENAGE BOY!!!!" he yelled, not making Sakra flinch the least bit.
"Yes," she answered, "and I'm gonna meet him again today, along with Tomoyo, and we're gonna meet his cousin." And with that, she swept out of the hall, leaving a very, very angry Touya behind.
"C'mon Tomoyo." she said.
Her amethyst eyed cousin looked up and quickly followed Sakura to the stables.
"So, we will be meeting your saviour's cousin?" she asked curiously.
"Yep," Sakura answered, grinning.
* * *
"LI!" a certain seventeen year old boy, with dark, dark blue hair and sapphire eyes shouted, smirking frim ear to ear, "WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU?!"
Li appeared behimd him, looking annoyed. "i can hear fine thanks, there's no need for you to bellow out my name, Eriol."
"There you are," Eriol said, deciding to ignore his cousin, "I thought you said we were going to meet two lovely ladies, which one of them you most obviously have a crush on my cute little cousin, I never thought I'd see the day you were going to finally have some love in that cold heart of yours."
Li's eyes flashed dangerously, "HIIRAGIZAWA!!"
* * *
"I've seen what Li looks like," Tomoyo said, looking at her cousin, "but how does Li's cousin look like?"
Sakura shrugged, "I can't really remember, but he was that guy that called out Li's name before we went."
Tomoyo nodded.
As they entered the clearing that Sakura, Li and Kero had been yesterday, the two girls heard a shout followed by a mischievous snicker coming their way.
When they looked up, Sakura and Tomoyo saw a young man about Li's age looking as though he was running for his life, but had a sly grin on his face all the while. When he spotted the two girls, he went and his behind them, silencing them when they started to ask questions.
They soon found out why that was, for no sooner had the mysterious boy hid himself from danger's way, Li bursted out from the trees, looking as though he was ready to kill.
He looked around, and spotting a familiar patch of dark blue behind the girls, he smirked evilly, and signalled for them not to say anything.
"Excuse me girls," Li said, "But have you seen my no-good cousin come somewhere around here, I think he ran straight behind, I don't know a couple of girls!" he had slowly walked towards them, and when he reached Eriol, Li caught him by the sleeve and turned him so they were facing each other.
"Um..." Eriol started nervously," Li, my dear, dear cousin, didn't you say you were gonna introduce me to your lovely fiends," and he gulped uneasily seeing the look on Li's face that told him, he wasn't fooled.
"Li!" Sakura exclaimed, grinning at him, "So, this is your cousin, eh?"
Li glared at Eriol before turning to Sakura. "Yes, unfortunately the two of us are related."
"Is that anyway to talk about your older cousin?" Eriol asked defiantly.
"Older by a month?"
"Ok boys," Tomoyo said loudly. As much as this was amusing to watch, she wanted to stop it before it turned into a real fight. "Can you start acting yor age now?"
Li and Eriol grumbled, but turned to the girls nontheless. And immediately, Eriol's attention was drawn to the girl with raven hair and amethyst eyes.
"This is my cousin," Sakura and Li said at the same time.
