"Hey, Syaoran!" Tomoyo called. Tomoyo is Syaoran's best friend since childhood. She's also his cousin and secret-keeper. Yep, she knows everything about Syaoran, everything, even how Syaoran feels about being a "slayer".
"Hello, Tomoyo," Syaoran said without turning. He was looking outside on the window of his room.
"I was looking all over for you," she said. "I've turned this castle upside down just to find you, and you're just here sulking in your room."
"I'm not sulking. I just wanted to be alone."
"Oops, you're in a bad mood again, huh Syaoran?" Tomoyo asked as she walked towards Syaoran and stood beside him. "Wait! Did you visit the stone already?"
"No," was his reply.
"What?!" she exclaimed. "You've turned eighteen weeks ago but you still didn't visit the stone?"
"I don't have time," Syaoran said curtly, he was getting annoyed by Tomoyo's nagging about visiting the stone.
"You don't have time?" she asked suspiciously. "You don't mean you just don't want to go there?"
"Alright! Alright!" Syaoran snapped. "I don't want to go in there."
"And why is that?" Tomoyo asked, even though she already knows the answer.
"It's because..." Tomoyo can tell if Syaoran is battling himself if he should tell her or not.
"Syaoran...I've been your secret-keeper for years. Did you already decide to stop telling me your secrets? You know I love hearing those from you," she smiled warmly at him.
"Alright, I don't want to go because I have this certain feeling that if I went near, I mean, if I'll go see the stone, the "key" might suddenly appear. Then...I must kill her. And I-"
"I know, I know," Tomoyo sighed. "You don't want to kill anybody."
"Yeah," Syaoran admitted. "You know I don't want to cause anymore sufferings to either nation."
"Don't worry, Syaoran. The "key's" not here."
"How would you know?" Syaoran asked her skeptically.
"Uh...I...It's just a hunch. Anyway," Tomoyo lowered her eyes. "Let's just go there, Syaoran. I really want to see the stone again. And I want you to accompany me. Please?"
"Alright," Syaoran said, defeated. "Let's go now."
"Thank you so much, Syaoran." Tomoyo smiled at him and led him to the door.
"Where are we?" asked Sakura.
"Do you think we're lost??" Hana cried. "It's your fault, Eriol! You don't even know how to use a map!"
"Of course I know, you nuthead," Eriol said heatedly.
"I'm not a nuthead! You're the one! Anyway, where are we really?"
"I...don't know," Eriol smiled guiltily at her.
"Don't tell me we are lost..." Sakura sighed.
"Oh no..."
"She's really cute, Syaoran," Tomoyo said. "You should meet her, ok?"
"No."
"And why is that?"
"I prefer to read books than to go out with girls I don't like."
Silence surrounds them as they walked towards the chamber where the stone is kept. While they were walking, Syaoran spotted a group of people of the same age as he. But his eye glued on to the girl with a shoulder-length brown hair.
Syaoran suddenly stopped in his tracks when he saw the girl's eyes, she has a very rich ember-green color that can make anybody freeze as she chooses. He was mesmerized by her looks that he can't take his eyes off her.
"Hey, what's happening to you?" Tomoyo asked as she followed his gaze, then she saw the trio and she laughed. "So that cute one over there is your type, huh?"
"Shut up!" Syaoran said as he purposely walked towards the three.
"Oh my!" Hana said suddenly. "He is so cute!"
"Who's cute?" asked Sakura as she turned around to see who Hana is talking about.
"Hi!" someone said. When Sakura looked up to see the face of the one who spoke to her, she blushed suddenly, she thought she saw the most handsome boy in Sentinel.
"H-hi..." she replied.
"Hello!" Hana greeted. "What's your name?"
"Umm...I'm Syaoran," the boy said. "What are you three dong here?"
"We are looking for the Seyon stone," Hana said immediately. "Ouch!" she then shouted as Sakura deliberately stepped on her foot.
"We are looking for the stone for, umm, well, these twins just turned eighteen. And you know, they should go see the stone or something," Eriol said, looking hard on Hana.
"We're kind of lost," Sakura added, laughing a little.
"Lost?" Tomoyo smiled warmly at them. "Don't worry. My cousin and I are also going to see the stone. You can come with us."
"Umm...Thank you, umm...miss"
"You can call me Tomoyo," she turned her smile to Sakura and suddenly took both of her hands. "You know, you really are so cute! What's your name?"
"I'm Sakura," she smiled back at Tomoyo. "This one is Hana and that is Eriol."
"Hello to you two," Tomoyo greeted but her eyes still on Sakura.
"Well," Hana said moments later. "Why don't you lead us to the stone right now?"
"Alright," Syaoran said. "Follow us."
"Here we are," Tomoyo said as they stopped in front of a huge door. She turned to Hana and Sakura, "You two can go in first. Syaoran will follow you later."
"You mean you still didn't visit the stone?" Hana asked loudly.
"Yeah."
"Oh no!"
"Stop it, Hana," Eriol said. "Can I come in with them?"
"Yes, you can," Tomoyo said gently. "As long as you won't disturb them."
"Well," Sakura said. "In we go."
