Chapter 1 GONE
By; ~*Angel of Light*~
"Syaoran….how can you even think about leaving without letting me
know?!" Sakura sobbed. Syaoran smiled weakly, " I-I.. sorry, but my family
needs me." " But so do I !" Sakura protested. " I – I promise I'll be back ," He said with tears in his eyes. " You
are?" Sakura looked up. He nodded his head. As he handed her the Syaoran
bear, " it's time I have to leave, good-bye and take care," he said with
tears threatening to pour down, but he refuses to let that show. And with that
he left a crying Sakura with the bear in her arms.

Ten years later:
" I'm going
to school now!" a now 18 year-old Sakura yelled, as she roller bladed off to
Tomeoda High. Sakura had eventually got over Syaoran's departure, and started
all over again.
" Ohayou, Tomoyo!"
Sakura waved . " Hey, Sakura, guess what? I heard that there's gonna be a new
student in our class," She said excitedly. "Oh…." Sakura said. A new
student? Hmmmm I wonder what he or she's like The idea of a new student,
made Sakura think of a certain brown chestnut haired and amber eyed boy, that
she new too well. Oh snap out of it, he's not coming back and you know
it.. She thought slightly disappointed. " Sakura? Hello~?!" Tomoyo called.
" Huh? Oh,Gomen Tomoyo," Sakura replied. Tomoyo gave a smile, " It can still
happen, you never know," She said almost as if she could read Sakura's mind.
Sakura gave a sigh, " You and I both know that it's not gonna happen, he never
did, and never will fulfil his promise," Sakura said slightly angry.
" But I 'm not going to care anymore, I've waited ten years,
and he hasn't appeared yet, that is where I get this answer. And I'm not going
to sit and wait anymore, either he does or not, it has nothing to do with me
anymore," She said coldly. I know that she still wants him to return, I
can tell,* sigh * I just hope he know what he's missing Tomoyo thought to
herself. Just then the bell rang, and they headed onto their classes.
Like Tomoyo
said, sure enough there was a new student, "Class, there's a new student here , let me introduce, Li, Soran,"
the Sensai said, as he introduced the new student. That name shocked Sakura
like a lightening bolt. Li?? Soran?? Is he related to Syaoran?? "
Please Take a seat behind Miss. Kinomoto," the sensai pointed to the seat
behind Sakura. Soran nodded, and took the seat behind Sakura. "Hi, what's your
name?" He asked politely. "Huh? Oh, sorry, Ohayou Li-kun," Sakura greeted. "
You can just call me Soran," He said with a smile. Well, he sure doesn't
have the personality of Syoaran, he's a lot nicer She thought to herself ,
well just politer, I guess "Miss. Kinomoto, can you please pay
attention," The sensasi interrupted her thoughts. " O-oh, Gomen," Sakura
replied, blushing in embarrassment .
"
Konichiwa, Sakura-Chan," Soran said at lunch period. " Gomen if I got you into
trouble today." " O-oh, it's not your fault, I was just daydreaming again, how
did you know my name?" Sakura asked. " O-oh, Takashi told me, I met him today,
by the way, you know someone called Li, Syaoran?" Soran asked. Sakura sweat
dropped, Takashi again " I was going to ask you that as well, yes, I
do, he is… I mean was a good friend of mine," she replied, " That was
before he left me and never returned," she said so softly that no one could
hear but herself. " Oh, so you do! Takashi,
also told me that you guys were quite close friends, but didn't return to Japan
for quite awhile," he said, " Oh, and by the way, he's my cousin, I've never
really met him before, but he's quite a famous name in the Li Clan family." He
chuckled. " Does this mean that you know……..too?" Sakura asked
concernedDoes he know Magic too?? Hmm I wonder
" You…you are the ….Mistress?" He asked stunned. So he
does then I guess, or at least have knowledge of this Clow businessSakura
thought. "Ye—yes, I am or was the Clow mistress, so you know magic too?" She
asked " Well, no, I don't not everyone in the Li family has it, only the chosen
ones do, oh, but I'm sure that I can still measure up as a friend," he joked
with a chuckle. " Of course, I haven't used my magic in quite awhile, after the
cards were captured, I haven't used it anymore," she said. " Well, it was nice
knowing that I met a new friend today," he smiled " Can I walk you home?" he
asked politely, when school was over. " S-sure" she replied with a smile.
" You wanna
come in for a while?" Sakura asked. " ok" he replied casually. "Touya, I'm home,"
Sakura called, " This is a new friend, and student I met, he is called Soran,"
Sakura introduced him to Touya. hmmmm, this kid looks a lot like the
Chinese brat, he better not be him, or else… " Hi," he greeted. " Hello, my
name is Li-soran, you might have met my cousin before, Syaoran, it's nice
meeting you," he said. Touya started to glare at him. Sakura nudged him, giving
him a look that says not to treat him like Syaoran. Oh, well at least he
seems nice enough, as long as he doesn't hurt my sister in any way, I'll leave
him a lone Touya thought to himself, and gave a faint smile at Soran.
Sakura let out a
sigh of relief, and Soran followed her
up to her room.
" Hey,
Kero, this is Li-Soran, he's Syaoran's cousin," Sakura introduced. "
ke-ke—Keroberus?? The Guardian Beast of the clow cards?" Soran asked shocked.
"yep, kid," kero said proudly. " Wow, I thought the guardian was a big powerful
beast, I didn't think he was so…." Soran said still shocked. " Hey!! What's
that supposed to mean, kid??" Kero said angrily. " OH, never mind, it's not the
size that counts, I guess," he gave a satisfied smile. Kero liked this kid more
then Syaoran, He's more, polite, at least, humph, " Well I got ta go
now, cya," he said, and Sakura leaded him downstairs to the door. " bye, cya tomorrow," "Bibi" Sakura waved
cheerfully. Wow, she 's so gorgous, the most beautiful girl I've met,
those emerald eyes, and auburn brown hair. Soran thought as he walked home.
He started to fall in love with her. As everything happens, a shadow followed
them.
The
mysterious Shadow followed them through out the month, seeing the closer Sakura
and Soran gets, day by day. Sakura sensed something strong, very powerful near
by, she asked Kero , but didn't understand
what it was, can it be a clow card? But we've captured all of them, and
there's something strange about this power, it's not a clow card,, but I just
can't seem to understand what it is though Sakura thought as she walked
home with Soran, as she was deep in her thoughts, Soran was staring at her,
wishing he could just touch her face. There it is again, I can sense
it~!!! Sakura suddenly turned to her back, but just in time to see a shadow
zip past. Where??? Where could it be? What does it want? She thought.
What,
where am I? Sakura found herself in complete darkness, then a strong blinding
light appeared out of nowhere, then it happened, suddenly everything around her
was destroyed, houses, streets, people gone, then an evil force laughed evily,
all around her, what??? Who are you? What do you want? Sakura called. A
thousand swords were aimed at her, and they shot at her, she squeezed her eyes
shut, waiting for something to happen, nothing did, she looked up, there was
another shadow putting himself in front of her as the swords stabbed through
him. Ahh, who, what why, who are you? Why you doing this for me,? But no
answer, as the shadow fell down, she turned to see who it was, when…………………
" AHHH, what, ?" Sakura sat up on her bed, and realized that it was just a
dream, Kero looked at her sleepily, what, what was that? She thought .
I've got to do something, and fast
Author's Notes: Just who is this mysterious shadow following
