Black Magic
Chapter 1

So It All Began...

It was a stormy night. Clow Reed was looking out of his window. A girl around the age of 17 dressed in black came into the room with a large baske. She then set the basket down on a table beside Clow Reed. "His name is Li Syaoran, the chosen one to free this land." Said the girl. "Are you sure?" Asked Clow Reed still looking out the window. "Yes, there are no others. His family was killed by the evil king, the whole village was burned because of him." Said the girl with tears in her eyes.

"Put him on the bed and leave. You can't stay here much longer. I have a small house on the hill for you. Remember, we do not know each other." Said Clow Reed. "Yes Master!" Said the girl putting the baby on the bed and heading for the door.


7 years later

A boy around the age of 7 was running up a hill. He had short brown hair and brown eyes. He wore a dark blue T-shirt with shorts. "Master Syaoran, please don't go out of the village alone. Master Reed is going to get mad at us." Said a boy about the same age as Syaoran. He had blue eyes and short yellow hair. He wore a red T-shirt and shorts.

"Come on Matt! Clow Reed's not going to know that we are out of the village if we keep our mouth shut." Said Syaoran looking back at Matt. Suddenly, two men popped out from nowhere and grabbed Li by the shirt. "Let me go!" Yelled Li kicking and scratching trying to get free.

"This is King Ray's land. Anyone who transpases here will be killed." Scowled one of the man. He was just rising his sword to chop of Li's head when Clow Reed showed up. "Let the boy go!" Clow Reed calmly. "He's too young to understand where to go or not." "Why of course Master Reed." One of the man said quickly letting Li go.

Back home...

"Li, how many times do I have to tell you not to go out of the village alone!" Clow Reed said annoyingly with a mad face. "I'm sorry Master." Li said guiltily with a sad look on his face. "All right Li, I forgive you this time. But the next time you won't get away with it." Clow Reed warned and then walked away.

The next day...

It was a sunny morning. Li and Matt where both sitting in their desks reading a book on magic. Li was just reading into it when suddenly a image of a girl around his age in a white dress popped into his mind. She had brown hair up to her back and crystal green eyes. He could tell by the look on her face that she was very sad. "Li, I'll always be by your side no matter what happens." "What are you talking about? We don't even know each other." Li said confusedly and gave the girl a puzzled look.

"LI! WAKE UP!" Yelled Matt. Li opened his eyes and give him a glare. "You didn't have to yell you know." He found himself on the floor with a chair beside him. "What happened?" He asked. "I don't know. One minute you where in your chair, the next you where on the floor!" Matt stared at Li and gave him a look.


5 years later...

It was a peaceful night. Li was sitting outside looking at the stars, an image of the girl he had seen 8 years ago popped into his mind once again. "I'll be by your side no matter what happens." Said the girl. "Who are you?" Asked Li. Then he snapped out of it. "Who are you?" He whispered to himself. "Hello, I'm you best friend!" Said Matt taking a set beside him. "Having that image in your mind again?" "Yeah, I wonder who she is." Said Li looking at the stars. "You'll find out some how." Said Matt.

Suddenly, they heard a scream, then there was another. "What's going on?" asked Li. "I don't know, but that house is on fire." Said Matt pointing at the house not far away from theirs. "Matt, Li, get in here." Said Clow Reed from inside the house. Li and Matt both run into the house where Clow Reed is. "You called Master?" asked Li and Matt at the same time. "No time to talk, pack up, you two are leaving." Li blanked at the word two. "Aren't you coming?" asked Li. "No Li, you two are on your own."

Matt and Li hurried hurry into their rooms and packed everything they need. Clow Reed where waiting for them in the back. Li and Matt run out of the house and hopped onto the the horses. "Here's a map, it will tell you where to go first. Good luck!" Said Clow Reed backing up a little. Li and Matt then head out.

A day later...

"So where to go first?" asked Matt eating some bread. "Village of the Cherry blossoms." Said Li. "Pretty name." Said Matt with his face stuffed. "Alright, let's head out." Said Li pulling his horse.

It was almost dark when they got there, it was a small town but it was pretty busy. There's people selling stuff everywhere. Suddenly, a lot of people run by Li and Matt knocking them over. "Excuse me, but could you tell me what's going on." Li asked a girl beside him. She had brown hair up to her neck and crystal green eyes. She wear a pink T-shirt and a pink mini skirt with pink boots.

"She look cute." Matt thought.

"You must be new around here, we are having a sword contest today, the winner gets a kiss from Sakura. Daughter of a rich scientist. He's the one who thought about the contest." Said the girl. "Well, Sakura must be really pretty since a lot of people is entering the contest." Said Matt. The girl blushed a deep red. "Would you like to enter the contest?" She asked. Li looked at Matt, Matt shacked his head and said, "I not good at swords, but Master Li here is pretty good, he've being training ever since he's a little boy." The girl looked at Li, Li blushed a little.

"Would you like to enter the contest Li?" Asked the girl with stars in her eyes.

"These eyes have magic of its own, I can't believe I'm going to say this! Don't do it Li! Don't..."

"Alright, I'll enter the contest." Said Li with a big smile on his face.

"This way." Said the girl taking Li's hand, Li blushed a deep red and followed the girl. The girl took Li to a huge room with lots of people. "Wait here, I'll come and get you when I'm ready. Meanwhile, help your self to some of the food over there." Said the girl walking away.

5 minutes later...

The same girl came back wearing a pink dress with green fairy like wings on the back. "Are you ready?" She asked. "Yeah, I think." Said Li. The girl took Li's hand once more and took him onto some kind of a stage. "Li, over there's Ken." Said the girl pointing to a guy. "You'll be fighting him next, be careful, he already knocked out 15 of our strongest boy in town. You'll be up against him next. See that balcony up there?" Said the girl pointing to a large balcony beside the stage. "I'll be watching you from up there, good luck!" Said the girl letting go of Li's hand.

As soon as a guy called Li's name he went up. Li took a good look at who he was up against. Ken had black hair with blue eyes. He was wearing a black T-shirt and blue jean shorts, he was about the same age as Li.

"Let the contest began!" Said a fat guy ring a bell. "Knock him out and you win Li!" Yelled the girl from the balcony. "Sakura, sit down and how many times do I have to tell you not to yell." Said her dad getting mad at her.

"So she's Sakura? She sure is pretty."

Ken pulled out his sword and slashed it at Li. Good thing is that Li dogged it, or he would have had an huge cut on his face. Li quickly pulled out his own sword and started to attack Ken. Sakura had her eyes locked on Li as he dogged Ken's sword. Then finally, Li kicked Ken's hand and his sword went flying. Li quickly had his sword on Ken's neck.

"The contest is over, the winner of this contest is Li Syaoran." Said the fat guy ring the bell again.

"Now for his prize." Said a old man walking towards Li. "Go on sonny, you won it."

"Wha...?" Asked Li.

"You know, the kiss." Said the old man.

"Do I have to?" Li whispered.

"Yes, everyone is expecting it." Said the old guy giving him a look.

Li didn't want them to get mad at him, so he walked up the stairs and onto the balcony. Well Li's not watching, Ken picked up the sword and walked behind him very softly.

Sakura was blushing a deep red as Li got on to the balcony. He lean forward getting ready for a kiss, just as Sakura was about to kiss him, Ken came in reasing his sword ready to slash it at her. "If I can't have you, then nobody can!" That was his final words before he slashed the sword.

Li moved fast, he pulled her out of the way, but the sword wounded his arm. Then he pulled out his own sword and started to fight with Ken again. It wasn't long before 7 strong man came in and grabbed Ken, pulling him away from Li and Sakura. As soon as they pulled Ken away, Sakura ruined to Li.

"Are you okay?" She asked.

"I think so, you?" Asked Li sitting down feeling a little dizzy.

"I'm fine, but look at your arm, it's bleeding." Sakura took a good look at Li's wound, there was something white on the edge of the wounds.

"Li how could you be okay, there's poison on that sword! I'll get help." Said Sakura running away.

Li sat there, feeling dizzier and dizzier every minute. It wasn't long before he passed out. "I'll be by your side no matter what happens." Said a voice. "You again, what do you want? Do I know you?" Said Li.

Then he felt a hand on his face. He grabbed it, it felt soft and warm, he slowly opened his eyes and the first one he saw was Sakura, blushing. He quickly let go.

"Sorry." He said.

"No, it's okay, I'm the one who should say sorry, I dragged you into this." He could tell that she had tears in her crystal green eyes.

"Where's Matt?" He asked.

"He's in the room beside yours, sleeping." Said Sakura.

"What time is it?" Asked Li sitting up, but was stopped by Sakura.

"You shouldn't get up, the doctor said you are still weak, it's 3 in the morning. Everyone is asleep."

"It's 3, I think you should be in bed, I'm okay now." Said Li.

"It's okay, I'm not tired. Would you like some water?" Asked Sakura.

"You never told me your Sakura, why?" He asked.

"I... I... I..." The door opened and a guy around the age of 17 walked in.

"Sakura, it's time for you to go to sleep." He had black hair and black eyes. "Your awake kid, thanks for saving the monster today, my name is Touya Kinomoto, I'm Sakura's older brother. Li blanked at the word kid. And Sakura kicked Touya for calling her a monster.

"Well guess I'll be going. Sleep well Li, I'll see you tomorrow morning." Said Sakura walking to the door

"Yeah, I'll see you tomorrow." Sakura turned off the light.

The next day...

Sakura walked down the hall, she was carrying Li's breakfast to his room for him. She knocked on the door, but no answer so she knocked again, still no answer. "Li time to wake up." Said Sakura knocking the door again. "Are you looking for me?" Asked a voice behind her. She turned around to see Li holding a book.

"Oh, your already up. I brought you breakfast." She was wearing a blue dress this time, it looked really good on her.

Li blushed, it was the first time a girl broght him breakfast. "Thank you." He said taking the stuff. "Want to come in and chat, I don't have anything to do anyway." "Okay." Said Sakura opening the door.

1 hour later...

Li had finished telling his story about what happened to Clow Reed and How he got here. "So it must be cool being rich." Said Li. "Not really, at least I don't think so." Said Sakura with sad eyes. "Why do you say that?" Asked Li. "Because, King Ray wants to marry me when I'm a little older, but he already has two wife. Beside, I don't even like him, sure his handsome, but I don't love him." She started to have tear in her eyes.

"Isn't there anyone from you family stopping him." Said Li angrily.

"Yes, but he said if I don't he'll the burn the village. I didn't want to hart the villagers. But I just can't marry Ray." Sakura looked down and tears dropped from her checks. Li looked at the sad angle, he felt sorry for her.

"She has a pure heart, but want good will it do if she has to marry someone she doesn't love."

"I'm sorry." Said Li, "No it's not you fault, guess this is just my luck." Said Sakura. Matt walked into the room feeling happy. "Master Li, your awake." He said with a big smile on his face. Sakura stood up and walked away.

"Matt you picked a bad time to be in a good mood." Li thought.

That night...

Sakura was getting ready for a party at her place to thank Li for saving her. She put on a pink dress, the dress was all the way down her knee and it was wavy. Then she put pink shoes and gloves. She looks real pretty in that.

Li knocked the door to Sakura's room, the door opened and Sakura was there. Li blushed as he saw how pretty Sakura looked. He was wearing a black taxido, "Ready to go?" He asked still blushing. Sakura took Li's hand and said, "Yes."

They walked down to the ball room, there was a lot of people there, when they saw Li and Sakura they all came up and said Hi. The girls had heart shaped eyes as Li walked by and the boys all had heart shaped eyes as Sakura walked by. Li looked at Sakura and a image of the girl in his dream appeared, her voice appeared in his mind.

"I'll be by your side no matter what happens." He fall back a little.

"Li, are you okay?" Asked Sakura with worried eyes.

"I'm okay, I just felt a little dizzy that's all." Said Li giving her a smile.

"Maybe you should go back to your room and rest." Said Sakura.

"Is that okay with you?" Asked Li.

"No problem." Said Sakura.

In Li's room...

Li sat on his bed, he was waiting for Sakura in his room. He got out of the taxido and put on a brown T-shirt and shorts. Sakura came into the room wearing a blue T-shirt with a yellow star in front and a mini white skirt. She walked to Li and checked his wounds.

"Are you sure your okay? You look a little pink." Said Sakura with worried eyes.

"I'm okay." Said Li blushing, "Sorry about the party."

"It's okay." Said Sakura.

Suddenly a image of Clow Reed appeared in front of both Li and Sakura. "Hello there Li, I see you made a new friend." Said Clow Reed softly. "Her name is Sakura." Said Li. "Nice to meet you Sakura." Said Clow Reed. Sakura looked at him with huge eyes.

"Now Li, you remember the map I give you?" Said Clow Reed.

"Yeah, what about it?" Asked Li.

"There's 4 location on it in different color, go to the location and find the crystals." Then Clow Reed's image disappeared.

"I guess I'll be leaving soon." Said Li. Sakura looked at him with sad eyes, she lean forward and kiss his cheek. Li blushed a deep red and hugged her. "Good bye." He said. Sakura then walked away back to her room.

3 a.m in the morning...

Sakura run into Li's room and waked him up. "Li, we got to get out of here. King Ray's man is here, they are burning down the village. He broke his promise!" Li was half awake.

"Wha...?" He asked.

"I said we've got to get out of here, they are burning down the village!" Yelled Sakura.

"What? Why? When? Where?" Li had a million questions to ask but there was no time.

Li put his cloth on and run to the back with his backpack. There were 2 horses waiting for them, Matt was already on his horse. Li looked at his horse, then at Sakura. "Aren't you coming?" He asked. "No, I'll stay, I have to." "Sakura, look, they've already burn down the village, he broke his promise, what do you think they are going to do to you?" Sakura looked down. "I... I..."

"He's right, you should leave." Said Sakura's dad handing her a backpack.

"But dad, I... I..." Sakura had tear in her eyes.

"Just go!" Said Sakura's dad.

"Come on, we have to leave now!" Said Li pulling her onto his horse.

"Good bye dad, I promise I'll make Ray pay for what he did." Sakura, Li and Matt rode away fast.

They where outside of the village, Li stopped the horse and looked back. Sakura looked back at the burning village. "One day you will pay for what you did Ray, I'll make sure that." She was glowing in pink light. Sakura was crying by then, Li hold her close and spooken softly. Sakura soon fall asleep in Li's arms.


Back in the burning village...

"The girl, where is the girl?" Asked a guy around the age of 17. He had brown hair and black eyes. "Where is the girl?" He asked again.

"I'm sorry King Ray! But the girl got away with Li Sayoran." Said one of the guards. "Find her, and bring the girl back alive or I'll have your head off!" Said Ray.


So, did you like it? I hope you did. Now don't start to ask how old I am, I'm only 12 years old.
