But here we go… you can finally see (or rather read) Li Syaoran's appearance… And he's already in Japan! Have fun reading!

And of course…. Card Captor Sakura is not mine!
Chapter 3: His arrival
One rainy Saturday, two days after Sakura got her ticket…
Sakura sat on her study table, gazing intently on the picture in front of her. Well, it wasn't exactly a picture… It's a photo card (the laminated picture thingy…). And not just a photo card… it's Li's photocard on frame.
The Radioman says he's coming today… She sighed, thinking. But how can I go to the airport if it's raining today?
She popped out of her wandering mind when she heard a soft purr. She looked down and smiled, picking up her cat, Kero.
"Kero-chan… do you think I'd be able to talk to him? Even just for a while?"
Kero meowed back as if talking to her. Sakura frowned. "You don't think so?"
"Kaijuu, since when did you have super powers?"
Sakura looked up irritably. "Onii-chan no baka! Kaijuu janai!" (jap trans: Stupid brother! I'm not a kaijuu!)
But Touya doesn't seem to have cared about what she said. "Since when did you learn to talk to cats? You could've told me sooner and I could sell you to a magician or something."
"BAKA!" Sakura shouted, getting the thing her hand catches and prepared to throw it to him.
"You wouldn't." Touya said patiently, not even flinching,
"Oh yes I could!" Sakura shouted back, preparing to throw it. But then she stopped, her hand hanging midway in the air and looked at the thing she's about to throw. With that, she shrieked. "I almost threw Li's picture!"
"I told you, you wouldn't."
"What on earth are you doing here anyway?"
"Your friend's downstairs."
Sakura looked evily at him before rushing downstairs. Touya looked at Kero curiously. Can the Kaijuu really talk to this cat?
Seems like you're crazy to me, Touya. Replied the back of his mind. He then shrugged the thought out of his mind, and went downstairs to see Sakura and her friend.
"Sakura-chan!" Tomoyo smiled, as soon as Sakura went downstairs.
"Tomoyo-chan! Why are you here?"
"Why?" Tomoyo repeated in a surprised tone. "Aren't you coming? Almost every girl in the class will."
"Will what?" Sakura repeated.
"Go to the airport to see Li's arrival today."
Sakura's face darkened a little. "I don't think I could…It's raining… And I cant take someone with me… I don't even have the dress to wear and—" Sakura stopped in the middle of her sentence and looked at Tomoyo. "You'll come with me?"
"Hurry, we don't have much time left. I heard Li's coming in 20 minutes." Tomoyo smiled back, handing her a paperbag. "I made this dress for you. I'm sure it suits you."
With that, Sakura yelled with joy. "Tomoyo-chan, arigato! Sakura-chan Ureshii! Hontou ni!" (Jap trans: Tomoyo, thank you! I'm happy! Really!)
"Heki, heki! Wakatta! Haiyaku! We don't wanna be late now!" (Yeah, yeah! I know! Hurry! We don't wanna be late now!") Tomoyo replied. "Besides, Meiling-chan said if you cant beat them, joing them! That's why I've decided to join you instead, Sakura-chan."
Sakura smiled at her once more, and began to rush to the bathroom to get a bath and prepare.
The rain drops madly on earth, but it doesn't matter to the girls on the airport. Most are from Tomoeda, but in general, these are girls (and believe it or not there are gays) who came from all over Japan just for one thing; to see Li's arrival. By chance, everyone's umbrella was blue, all shades of blue. Blue, navy blue, sky blue, blue blue, and all these for one reason, the magazine says Li's favorite color is blue (or was it really?) That's why as soon as Sakura and Tomoyo arrived, Sakura's umbrella happened to stand out. Why? Because her umbrella is pink, and tomoyo's white… with blue flowers.
From afar, the plane that has landed from Florida a few minutes ago has finally unloaded and a boy, wearing green fitting shirt was looking down from the window of the airport. He smirked, as he set his gaze on that pool of blue umbrellas.
"Whoa… What's with the umbrellas?"
The boy smirked once more, and then shrugged. "Tell me what… Isn't that your favorite color, huh, Eriol?"
The boy who asked him a while ago, which was Eriol, approached him and smiled.
"Yes it is. But I'm not the star here, Li Syaoran."
The boy in green, which we know now as Li Syaoran, turned to Eriol with a blank face. "But blue is not my favorite color."
"Well who told the reporter in Hong Kong that blue is your favorite?"
"I didn't, they just thought it is because they said blue suits me."
"Mister Li, Mister Hiirigizawa, the car's ready to the Li mansion."
Syaoran and Eriol looked at the girl at the same time.
"Thank you miss… were coming." Eriol smiled back politely, before turning to Syaoran. "Well, famous Li, time to go to that pool of blue and give your charming smile to all the girls of Japan."
"Shut up." Syaoran frowned, and walked away, with Eriol close to him.
Outside…
A black limousine stopped in front of the gates that made everyone to stop and stare.
"That's Li's car! Li's coming out!" One of the girls screamed, and everyone began to panic. Sakura's not used to crowded people. She's having a hard time with everyone pushing each other as the news that Li's finally coming out of the airport spread through.
I wont lose to these girls, this is war! She thought savagely, though not screaming as what the others do. She tried her best to keep it still, to avoid herself from being pushed back. All of a sudden, the screaming became louder, and the pushing was more savage this time. To make it worse, her cellphone began to vibrate on her pocket, but then reverted the idea on picking it up in the middle of the chaotic crowd. She turned to look at the door, and found her heart beating fast, after seeing a bundle of green umbrellas moving through.
"WE WANT LI! WE WANT LI!"
The chanting was louder and louder as she felt her phone stopped vibrating. The caller hung up.
"WE WANT LI!"
For some reason, instead of being pushed back, she somehow managed her way in front of the line, where she can freely see Li—if he was not heavily guarded by the bodyguards.
Her phone began to ring again, but there's no more time. Li's approaching her spot, if she answers the phone, she'll lose her concentration to get a glimpse of Li.
"WE WANT LI!"
Finally, the bundle of green umbrellas and people on black were passing in front of her. She hung her neck up, trying her best to see Li. All of a sudden, the group stopped. She wondered for a moment, but found out why quickly. There's a little girl who approached Li to ask for an autograph, and it seems like he will.
Li bent down to sign the little girl's paper, and that finally gave Sakura the chance to see him. She smiled, seeing Li, even just the half of his face, as he smiled while signing the autograph for the little girl.
"Here you go now." She heard Li said, and gave the little kid the paper he just signed. The girl smiled at him, and hugged him.
"Thank you."
"You're welcome."
"Master Li, we have to move."
Li stood up after that, but his eye caught something that stood out among the people in the airport, and he turned to look at that person with curiosity.
Sakura held her breath, as Li turned to look at her umbrella, and then to her face. He stared at her for a little while, and then, continued to walk, and into the Limousine.
Li…. Li noticed me!
She stared at the Limousine, which was still not moving, and felt her phone rang for the third time. Once again, she ignored it. Actually, she ignored everything that's going on around her. As of that moment, all that was in her mind was the fact that Li looked at her. Could my day get any better!
Finally, her phone stopped ringing. And finally, after a few moments, the Limousine began to move and went away.
"Sakura-chan!"
Sakura turned around. Tomoyo was there, trying her best to approach her. "Tomoyo-chan! He looked at me! He looked at me!"
"What?" Tomoyo asked, confused. "It doesn't matter now. Meiling phoned me. She said you're not answering her call. And I'm trying to look for you but I was pushed back by the people."
"How can I answer her call? I was busy looking at Li. Why did she call anyway?"
"Meiling's inside the Limousine, Saku. And she wanted us to go to the Li mansion with her. But I see they already left cuz you weren't answering your phone."
TBC
A/N: If you were Sakura, what are you going to do if you find that out? If I was Sakura? I'm gonna scream at the top of my lungs and try to kill myself. That was my chance and I didn't get to have it! And how could I be so stupid forgetting the fact that LI SYAORAN IS MEILING'S COUSIN?
Sakura: Shut it, Shana-chan, I'm having the pain already, all right.
Shana: I'm just giving my opinion.
Sakura: All right already! I know I'm wrong so enough now!
Shana: Harharhar! I am so like bad…
