~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Sakura came back to Japan after her visit to Hong Kong to be with the one and only person that she truly loved, Syaoran. She had a wonderful Christmas with him and his family and she had learned some new things about him, things that she never knew before. He, Syaoran, her Syaoran, her one and only Syaoran, was to be the leader of the Li clan (in my fic, Sakura didn't know that, 'k?). This was only the beginning. She also learned that Li Syaoran's dad was banished from the Li clan (I made that part up, alright? Please bear with me!), because he had not respected the Li clan leaders.
| ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ |
But now, the clan leaders had seen what Li Syaoran could do, so they decided that he were to be announced as the leader of the famous and prestigious clan of Hong Kong. Well, as the offer was very honorable and very admirable, Syaoran's family didn't resist. They asked for the opinion of Syaoran, but instead they ended up answering themselves.
"So, Syaoran? What do you think about the offer? I mean, who wouldn't want to be the clan's leader and we all think that you would make a very fine leader as well." "Well, I don't know. I think..." "What do u mean 'you don't know'? This an honor to our family, you know... after the banishment of your father. I am very pleased that they chose you even after that. And there is nothing about this offer that you cannot be satisfied with. I say that you will accept this prestige and become the clan's leader. Get it?", his mother said in quite an angry manner, totally unlike her attitude. "I'll think about it." He then recieved a glare. Then he turned and saw that everyone was galring at him, from his mother to his youngest sister. "Aheheheh. Sure. Did I ever turn you guys down? Ahehehe.", he said nervously. "That's better.", they all said with a perfect smile pasted on their faces. "uh..ahehehe. Yeah.", he nodded his head in reply.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Oh Sakura, that is sooo beautiful", Tomoyo said as she was looking at the diamind ring that Syaoran gave her,"I just wish that I could've been there to tape all the kawaii moments that you both had." "Well, to tell you the truth Tomoyo, we both kind of missed you around us. We both were so used to being taped by you that it didn't seem right sometimes!" "Well, the next time maybe you go to Hong King, I'll follow you there and make sure that I fill the empty space of ur kawaii atmosphere with the digital cam that you guys gave me." Sakura sweatdrops. "That was supposed to cheer you up Tomoyo!" "Well, I did cheer up!" Sakura sweatdrops again. "Maybe that wasn't such a good idea after all." "Huh? You mean about the camera? No, that camera is so cool, and even though I have one just like it, I sill like it and when i tape you all..." "Tomoyo, stop please." "What did I say?" This time Sakura does an anime fall."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The next day...
"I finally figured out what you were trying to tell me Sakura." "Oh yeah? And just what is that?" "You were just cheering me uo cause you weren't with me this Christmas and so you thought that I might be mad at you. And so you thought that if you told me such things like 'it didn't seem right without you around' and 'we both missed you around us'." Sakura anime falls. "That is just what I said yesterday Tomoyo! If you knew all that and if you were listening then why did you act that way?" "It's fun seeing you sweat drop and anime falling!" Sakura sweatdrops and also does an anime fall. "Just like that." "Tomoyo!!!!!" "Whatever."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Hong Kong...
(Syaoran's POV) But what am I to do? I want to be my clan's leader but I don't wanna be one either! I don't get it. What is wrong with me? All this training that I had was to prove myself that I deserved to be respected and to be looked upon and now that they want to do that, I'm not ready. I don't get it!
He turns his gaze to his bed and there lied the picture of his beloved, the reason of his living, the joy of his life, Sakura. That's it! That's the reason why I can't become the leader. Because of her. Now, please don't take this the wrong way but, I love her sooo much. And by 'I can't become the leader of the clan', I meant, because of the love that I have for her. How am I supposed to tell the clan about my relationship with a non-Li. They would never understand anything about true love. What am I supposed to do?

Tomoyo's place...
RING! RING! RING!
"Hello."
"Hi Sakura."
"Oh, hi Tomoyo. What's up?"
"You have to come over. There is something I wanna show you."
"Sure, I'll be right there."
"Thanks Sakura."
"Yeah, meet you in 10!"
"Bye."
"Yeah, bye."
(hang up)
"Hey, what's up Sakura?". She turned around to the squeaky voice that was coming from her dresser where the phone was placed.
"It's just that Tomoyo sounded like she had something really important to tell me and she sounded quite worried. I have to meet her right now, Kero. I'll see you in the evening."
"But what about my lunch? You promised that you'd...", but Sakura was already down and gone. "Hmmph! Now I'll die of hunger for sure."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK!
"Hey Sakura."
"Hey Tomoyo. What's the matter. you sounded worried and so..."
"Oh calm down now will you Sakura. It's nothing like that."
"What do you mean?"
"I got this letter in the mail this morning. The letter is addressed to you, but it came at my address."
"That's funny. Why would someone write my name and then write to your address?"
"That's just why I called you. Now please, open the letter and see who's it from and what's written on it."
"Well, here goes."
(Letter)
"Dear Sakura,
You must've noticed that the name of the adressee (the one who posted the letter) is not written there, and that the letter is being posted to Tomoyo's house but your name is on it. Well, don't worry. Well...do worry, cause you just have 10 days to figure out who this letter is from or else..."
P.S. Wanna' find out how this letter ends? Then meet me at the Penguin Park tonight, at midnight, along with that video camera girl, cause it will be worth the time taping!
"Is this some kind of threat? He should know that you, Sakura Kinomoto, are the Clow Mistress!"
"Not everyone is supposed to know that, Tomoyo."
"Oh yeah. Well, are you going to go?"
"I don't know. I'm scared."
"Me too. But he did say that it will be worth taping."
"Is that all you think about? Taping? Do you have any idea how extremely dangerous this thing is?"
"Uh... yeah."
"Well, it's dangerous and so..."
"And so what?"
"And so... we're not going."
"What?"
"This is way too dangerous and we don't even know who we're dealing with. It's better off not replying to them."
"But what if he..."
"What if he tries to harm us at home? Well, we'll see. Look, Tomoyo, I have to go now. There are a whole lot of chores waiting to be done."
"Your brother at Yuki's place again?"
"Yeah. Well, gotta go! Bye, and yeah, don't worry. Everything will be okay." 'I hope.'
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
On her way home, Sakura goes over the letter in her mind. It read, as Sakura narrates it:
"Well, don't worry. Well... do worry, cause you just have 10 days to figure out who this letter is from."
"Hmm, what kind of a person would want me and Tomoyo to figure out who he/she is? I don't understand. And then it said:
"Meet me at the Penguin park tonight, at midnight, along with Tomoyo, cause it'll be worth the time taping."
"Hmmm... I don't get it. First the person said that we have to figure out who he is, and then he says that if we want to find out more then we have to come to the Penguin park. Hmm... if we go there then we'll probably know who the person is. Unless...
...he wears a disguise and doesn't show his face. Well, it's noon at the time and we have 12 more hours to decide whether to go meet that person or not. And I have to get a present for Syaoran as well. It's his birthday tomorrow and I have the perfect gift in mind."

At the mall...
"Yes, how may I help you?", asks the store worker. (what else do you call them?)
"I am looking for...",and the worker finds the exact same thing that she was looking for.
"Is this it?" "Yes, the same thing. Thanks." "Come over to the counter and I'll wrap it up for you."
"Syaoran's going to love it."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
As she exits the mall...
"That's weird. I can sense magic around here and it doesn't seem to be familiar. I must be imagining things. It maybe just because of that wierd letter that I got. Oh well, I'll talk to Kero, and I hope he has an answer to that."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
At home...
"So, what do you think Kero? Who could it be? And what is this all about?"
"You know what Sakura, I can sense magic, and not just any magic, you know."
"What do you mean, Kero?" "I mean, this isn't Clow magic or pure magic. It seems to me as if it is Black Magic.
"What? Black magic! Isn't that dangerous?" "Yes, of course it is. This form of magic can be learned by anyone, anyone who wants to learn magic. Unlike the magic that you and that Chinese brat have..."
"Kero????!!!!!" "I meant... the Li-kid has." "That's better." "Now as I was saying: both of you had powers from the beginning and you both use it for good. Magic, if used by an evil person, can also be turned into Black magic which is far more powerful than it's pure form." "I don't really get it Kero." "Uh... in short, Black magic is powerful and if it is used by a person who is truly evil, it can be a whole lot dangerous." "Oh, I get it. Kero, do you think there is some sort of connection between the letter and the showing up of a Black magician?" "Maybe, or maybe not. I can't say. This is something that you have to figure out yourself." "That's very reassuring kero", Sakura said sarcastically, "Very reassuring!"
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Syaoran's place...
RING! RING! RING!
"Hello?"
"Syaoran. This is..."
"Sakura?"
"Yeah, how's it going?"
"Not too well."
"Why? Are you sick? Did you go to a doctor?"
"Calm down, Sakura. It's nothing like that", he chuckled. "Remember I told you about the leadership that i am to be given, well i was pondering over that, and that is making me feel irritated."
"Syaoran, the matter I want to discuss with you is far more important than that."
"Well, what is it?" "Syaoran, there is something wrong going on around here and I just recieved this anonymous letter and it says that we have to figure out who's it from in 10 days or else..."
"Or else what?" "That's what we don't know. The mailer said that me and Tomoyo have to come to the Penguin park to find out more about him, but I think that it's too dangerous. And then, me and Kero can sense some sort of magic around us. Kero believes that it's black and..."
"Did you just say 'black'?" "Yeah." "Is Kero sure it's black?" "Well, at least he thinks so. Why?"
"You better watch out Sakura. It can get dangerous out there." "Yeah, that's what Kero said too. I think that..." (A long pause)
"Yeah you think what?"
(No answer)
"Sakura?"
(No answer)
"SAKURA???!!!!!!!!"
(No answer)
"NOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
