Author's Note: Sakura has not met Li's family yet [They haven't showed the first movie yet in Australia. Boring Australia]

Model to the Heart

Chapter 1: To go or to Stay?

Many years had passed since a `crazily' dressed girl wandered around at night carrying a pink staff. Many years had passed since she had seen her first true love, Li Showron.

The girl was named Sakura Avalon, a supermodel who wins and softens the heart of even the toughest of people. Her emerald eyes still has a lively and happy shine to them and her heart is as tender, caring and gentle as they ever were but she was missing one thing- love. She had looks, she had grace, she had great friends, she had everything a girl could want but the most essential one.

"That's all for today. You were great."

Sakura relaxed a bit. She removed her hands from her hips and she let down her long silky golden brown hair.

"Thanks Fabienne. Can I keep these clothes?" Sakura eyed the pink one-shouldered dress with the knee high shoes.

"Sure," replied Fabienne.

"Sakura!"

Sakura twizzled around to come face to face with Eli [Eriol] and Madison. They were fanatically waving their hands so Sakura supposed that they had something really important to tell her. She gracefully walked to the perfect pair. Madison's blue eyes shone like the sky and Eli's aqua eyes blended in perfectly with Madison's . `Why couldn't life be so easy for me?'

"So hi."

"Sakura. Li is coming back to Japan." Sakura immediately brightened up.

"He's coming back?"

"You got it."

"Groovy!"

Fabienne walked towards the party as quietly as she could. She had never seen Sakura so happy. She pressed the button and-

`Flash'

`A great front page for a newspaper,' she thought.

Meanwhile, a few thousand kilometres away, a serious boy with amber eyes and stunning but messy chestnut hair was busy packing his bag for a surprise trick to the land where his heart lied. In Japan where he would soon see `his' cherry blossom.

"Master Li, your mother would like to talk to you."

"Tell her I'm coming, Wei," replied Li. His voice had grown deeper but it still contained the sweetness a ten year old boy's voice would have.

Li hastened down stairs while several servants watched in awe. The house servants watched in awe. The soon to be leader of the clan [I don't know what the US calls the clan since Aus. haven't shown the star card episodes yet. : )] was running at his world record speed. He soon rounded into the main dining hall where he saw his mother sitting there waiting for him.

"Li, about the trip to Japan. You plan to bring back a girl named Sakura who currently owns the Clow well Star cards. Am I correct?"

"Yes mother." His mother, Yelan [I don't know the name] surveyed him with critical eyes. She seemed to be trying to say something. "She's a world famous-" Before he could finish, his mother butted in.

"Well, I want you to bring her back, take the cards away and then assisinate her."

"WHAT?!?!?!"

"That or you don't go."

"But........."

"No but's. The choice is yours. Think carefully. Benefit for the clan or benefit for the girl.

He he he. Cliffhanger [i think]. So what will Li choose. To stay in China or go to Japan and kill Sakura? All I'll say is that Sakura will not die. Hope you enjoyed the first chapter.

Bye.

Please review.
