To Guard our Love
Chapter Two: An Unwelcomed Guest
Written by Enchanted Ice Star







Sakura walked around the busy streets of the town, fascinated by all the new things human kind had created. She giggled as she watched a little girl run around holding onto a thing called a balloon. It was then when she heard her stomach growl, and her emerald eyes widened in fright.

"Hoe! Why is my stomach growling?!" She exclaimed out loud, and the people around her that heard give her the odd eye. She sweatdropped and quickly walked away, but her stomach growled again.

"My stomach never growled when I was in heaven..." Sakura mumbled.

She felt a tap on her shoulder and she quickly turned around and saw a middle aged women with a kind smile on her face. "I heard you crying out back there. Your stomach is growling because you're hungry dear."

"...Oh right!" Sakura pretended to feel her forehead. "I think I just have a fever, that's why I'm not thinking correctly! I'll be on my way now!" Sakura waved and she quickly ran off.

The women blinked, "What an odd child."

How could I forget! When my stomach growls it means that I'm hungry! I should've known that..well, I can't blame myself for not remembering what it was like to be a human. I haven't been one for thousands of years!> Sakura turned a corner and saw a building that read 'Fast Food' on it. "A building with food? How odd, we use to have to hunt for food..." Sakura walked up to the building and stood at the end of the line up.

Fast food? How can food be fast? Weird...> When it was Sakura's turn she fidgeted with her fingers uneasily and looked at the man at the counter oddly. "Erm.."

"What would you like miss?" The man at the counter asked with a grin.

"Er..." Sakura saw a girl beside her recieve a plate of round thingies. "Um...I want those round thingies..."

The man stared at her. "Round thingies?"

"Those round thingies," Sakura pointed to the plate of 'round thingies' that the girl was holding.

The man at the counter chuckled, "You mean onion rings? Sure thing!"

Sakura could here people behind her whispering and she felt really uneasy now. She only had to wait for a minute or so until she got her food and she walked away with the plate in hand.

"The world has changed so much!" Sakura thought out loud. Onion rings...> Sakura repeated in her head as she bit into one. She walked around the place until she decided to sit under a tree to shade herself from the sun.

Suddenly a peice of paper fell out from the sky and landed in her lap. Sakura unfolded it slowly with shaky hands.

Sakura Kinomoto,

Stop sitting about, and get on with your duty! You are to guard Li Syaoran, not to sit around and eat food. You must find a way to be around Li Syaoran at all times. Being in his school is a good start, but what are you going to do about after school times? Well, I wish you luck.

From Selissia
Head of the Guardian Angels Council

Sakura sweatdropped and quickly got up. "How am I suppose to know what to do?! The world is so different now!"

"You'll figure it out Sakura," Came a voice from the sky. Sakura frowned and sighed, "Hmm.." Suddenly another peice of paper fell down onto her and she quickly unfolded it.

The Sakura Book is with the Li Clan.

Sakura's eyes widened. "They have my book?! So...what am I going to do..?" Sakura walked down the street and noticed there weren't that many people out anymore. She glanced up at the sky, and noticed it was beginning to darken slightly, and the sky was a purplish blue now.

She found herself back on a familiar street, and as she glanced to the right, she saw the grand Li Mansion with most of its lights on. Sakura stared intently at the building, wondering how she was suppose to do her duty.

"Are you lost?" Sakura's head perked up when she heard a girl's voice and she saw a girl with long auburn hair on the other side of the gate that blocked her from the Li Mansion.

"Oh! Um...yes!" Sakura replied. Maybe this girl lives here!>

The girl stepped up to the gates and pushed them so she could walk out. "It's getting dark, and a girl like you shouldn't be walking alone on the streets at night."

Sakura noticed that the girl was older then her. "Um...I know, but I don't know where to go."

The girl smiled, "We have many extra rooms in the mansion, maybe I can asked mother if you can stay for tonight."

"Really?! Arigatou (thank you)!" Sakura exclaimed.

"Arigatou? I assume that means thank you?" The girl guessed.

Sakura nodded, "Sorry, I just moved here from Japan you see." Sakura followed the girl into the big courtyard of the mansion. "I'm Li Sheifa, nice to meet you." Sheifa introduced.

Sakura smiled, "I am Sakura Kinomoto."

"Kawaii name!!!" Sheifa squealed. "Oh, wait right here, and I'll go ask mother!" Sheifa hurried into the mansion and Sakura was alone in the vast courtyard.

"Wow, it's beautiful in here..." Sakura stared at her surroundings in awe. At least I found a way to get in here!>

After a couple minutes Sheifa came running out of the house with a smile. "Mother said yes! Come on in!"

"Are you sure?" Sakura stepped in ueasily and looked at the wonderfully decorated room with objects she had never seen before.

"Yes, I'll show you your room!" Sheifa started up the stairs but then a women came walking down. "Sheifa, I guess this is the girl you told me about."

"Oh yes mother!" Sheifa nodded.

Sakura stared at the women in front of her. She had shiny black hair piled into a bun on her head, and she had a stern and serious look on her face. Sakura noticed that the women seemed to be staring right into her, and she felt really uneasy.

"Come with me, Sakura."

"How..?" Sheifa noticed the confused look on Sakura's face. "Oh, I told mother your name already."

Sakura nodded and followed Sheifa's mother up the stairs, but she stopped right in the middle of the hallway and turned around to look at Sakura with those intense eyes again.

"Sakura, you are not who you seem to be."

"..Hoe?" Sakura felt a shiver run down her spine.

"I am Yelan Li, mistress of this mansion," Yelan introduced. "I can sense powerful magic vibrating from you, child."

Oh no...does she know?! How does she know that I'm not human?! Or maybe she doesn't..but..> Sakura was lost in her thoughts until Yelan spoke up again.

"Sakura Kinomoto...that name I have heard of before," Yelan lead Sakura into a grand double doored room. Sakura guessed that this was the master bedroom and she noticed Yelan unlock a chest at the foot of the bed.

Sakura's eyes widened when she noticed what it was. The Sakura Book!>

"Sakura Kinomoto, card mistress, I am very pleased to meet you." Yelan smiled.

Sakura let out a small gasp. "How do you know?"

"I possess magic myself, and instinct told me that you are the one," Yelan placed the book in Sakura's hands. "I believe this belongs to you, card mistress."

Sakura held the familiar book in her hands, feeling the warmth of power vibrating from the book. "You won't tell anybody? Right?"

Yelan nodded with a smile, "Why would I? It needn't be told. But there is one thing that is puzzling me alot."

"Hm?" Sakura had a confused look on her face.

"The mistress died thousands of years ago, only leaving the book behind with a protective seal on it. But here you are, standing right in front of my eyes." Yelan touched Sakura's face. "And you are no ghost for your skin is warm."

Sakura frowned, she knew this would happen. How am I going to say this? Should I tell...? But I can't...it's against the rules!> Sakura's grip on the book tightened, and Yelan noticed.

"It is alright if you cannot say, I understand," Yelan said softly.

Sakura sighed in relief and smiled up at the women standing before her. "Thank you."

"You may stay here as long as you want, you are very welcome here," Yelan offered.

"Really?" Sakura's face brightened with a smile. Yay! Then I can guard Syaoran!>

Yelan noticed the excited look in Sakura's eyes and she smiled. "Of course. Sheifa will show you to your room, she is waiting at the end of the hallway." Yelan opened the doors to her room with a wave of her hand.

Sakura walked out with a smile on her lips. Maybe I can do this duty after all!>


Syaoran sat up in his green sheeted bed and stretched his arms. He had been laying there for a long time until he heard one of his sisters running around in a excited mood.

I wonder what's going on.> Syaoran ran his hand through his hair and yawned as he stood up. He opened the door and stepped out to the brightly litted hallway just as Sheifa ran past carrying a bunch of towels.

"Who are those for?" Syaoran questioned.

"For the kawaii girl!!" Sheifa replied as she ran into a room and was out of sight.

Syaoran scratched his head. "Kawaii girl?"

"Do you mean me?!" Syaoran jumped back when Meiling suddenly appeared in front of him with a big smile on her face. "Wah! Meiling! Don't do that! You scared the heck out of me."

"Sorry Xiaolang, but I know you must've missed me so much!" Meiling hugged him tightly. "I mean, we haven't seen each other for the whole night!!"

Syaoran groaned and got out of Meiling's arms. "Meiling, how many times do I have to tell you! I don't like being hugged like that!"

"But..but..."

"Dear brother, can you go downstairs and get the extra bed sheets?" Sheifa said while she ran past. "And bring them to the room at the end of the hall way."

"Er sure." Anything to get away from Meiling.> Syaoran thought with a sigh as he walked downstairs and took out the extra bed sheets which were white. I wonder who they're for...>

He walk back upstairs and to the room at the end of the hallway. He knocked on the door, wondering if anyone was inside.

"Hoe?" The door opened and a girl around his age stood before him. She had short auburn hair, and bright emerald eyes. "Oh, are those for me?" She pointed to the bed sheets he were carrying.

Syaoran just nodded, wondering who this girl was. "Who are you?" He asked, while handing the sheets over to her.

"That's a rude way of asking," Sakura mumbled.

"I'm not rude! You're the weird one, barging into my home like this! Why are you even here?!" Syaoran asked loudly.

Sakura frowned, "How rude you are to your guests!"

"Well, you're not welcome here!!" Syaoran snapped back.

"Li Syaoran! Don't be so rude to our guest!" Sheifa came into the room with her hands on her hips.

Sakura's eyes widened. This rude, grumpy, guy is Li Syaoran?! I'm suppose to be his guardian angel?!> Sakura thought in disbelief.

"Whatever, who the heck is she anyways? You always bring weird people to our house Sheifa," Syaoran muttered as he left.

Sheifa frowned, "Don't mind my brother, he's always like that."

"...Ok," Sakura placed the bed sheets on the bed. "He doesn't seem to like me much."

"Don't worry about it. Maybe once you guys get to know each other, it'll be better," Sheifa said with a sigh. "But I'm so glad that mother wants you to stay more than a day! You should meet my other sisters, come!" Sheifa pulled Sakura out of the room.

Sakura followed, but she wasn't really thinking of meeting new people. So that's Li Syaoran...this is going to be so hard...>
