2 Chapter 1. A New Adventure Begins

There are times in your life when you feel that you are in control of your destiny, that you have everything planned. This is what I thought two years ago, but how wrong was I, you see my name is Sayoran Li, and my life changed that fateful day. This is what I'm thinking while I approach the door of my classroom. I open the door and find that nobody is here yet.

"Typical, you come early to class and you are the only one" I say out loud to my self.

"I would not be so sure about that", said a voice behind me. I quickly turn around and find Eriol, the number two cause that my stress has gone up lately.

"What are you doing here Hiragizawa? Can't you leave me alone just once and go bother someone else?" I said while glaring at him, thing that didn't seem to bother him at all.

"Now, now my cute descendant. I know that you would rather see someone else right now, but you know that she'll be here later. I'm sure that I can help you in how to talk to her"

I felt the blush coming into my cheeks at that remark. I could not understand how he and me could be related in some way. Eriol Hiragizawa, half of the reincarnation of Clow Reed, my ancestor and creator of the Clow Cards. He smiled that goofy smiled of his and went towards his desk to wait for the rest of our classmates, that were starting to come one by one. Suddenly I heard a big commotion outside the classroom, and I felt a pink aura. My cheeks got red again at the memory of her name, Sakura, my number one reason for my high stress.

"Hello everybody" said Sakura. "Hi Li"

"Hi Kinomoto" I said trying to avoid her eyes while fighting the urge to call her Sakura. I couldn't do that or she would find out about everything, about my true feelings. I always tried to act calm around her, but for some reason I couldn't do it, she was my true weakness.

"Li? Are you ok? Earth to Li?" said Sakura and I realized that I zoned out for a minute.

"Don't worry about him Sakura, I'm sure that he was just thinking about his favorite thing. Isn't that right Li?" I didn't need to turn around to know who it was; it was Tomoyo Daidouji, Sakura's best friend and our official camera expert.

"Really Li!? , and what is that?" asked Sakura

"Um…, hey look, isn't that your brother over there?"

"Touya? Where?" and as soon as she turned around I ran towards the restroom. I know, its pathetic, but what can a guy do when he is cornered like that?

Several minutes later I found myself back into the classroom, in my desk behind Sakura. The teacher kept talking about some project, but my attention was somewhere else. 'How did this happen? I was supposed to hate her and I end up like this? Life is not fair' was the only thing that I could think.

"Li-kun, is there anything wrong with Sakuras hair?" asked me Daidouji, and I realized that I had been staring at Sakuras back, again.

"Uh, of course not, why would you say something like that?"

"Maybe because you haven't realized that we were suppose to be working on that problem for the last ten minutes"

I could feel the heat coming back to my cheeks, so I decided to ignore her and start working as quickly as possible with the problem, which luckily was a math one. After that incident the day continue without any further problems, well, except that incident that had to do with a rock, Sakura and a certain camera. Don't ask.

I was walking towards my home still trying to decided what to do with my troubles, you know, I really need to lower my stress, its bad for my health. Suddenly I felt something, I wasn't sure what, but something was wrong. I tried to concentrate on the feeling but the only thing that came to my mind was Sakura. "Of all the moments to thi…" That's when it hit me, the feeling was that something was going to happen to Sakura, and I couldn't let that happened. I turned around and started running with all my strength, letting that strange feeling guide me.

That feeling was getting stronger, and I knew that meant trouble. I hurried my speed and run into the penguin park searching for that pink aura. Finally I saw them at a distance, but I also saw a shadow getting ready to attack them. 'Oh my god, they haven't realize it' I though frantically. I dashed towards them while conjuring my sword.

"Sakura, look out behind you!" I yelled with all my might. I saw Sakura and Tomoyo turned around and scream while the shadow sent it's attack. With one final burst of energy I jumped towards the attack. I wasn't about to let that thing kill my most precious thing. Barely I was able to block the attack, but it left me open to a second one, one that I was sure it would finish me. I saw the second attack get closer, and closer, but the hit never got to me. I turned around and saw Sakura using shield to protect me.

"Are you ok girls?" I asked

"Yes Li, but what is that thing" asked Sakura

"I don't know, but it's very strong." I said.

"Well, let see how strong it really is. Fiery, attack my enemy" Yelled Sakura.

At that moment I felt that same feeling again, something was wrong. Fiery approached the shadow and it engulfed it, but to our surprise the shadow got rid of Fiery with one attack.

"It can't be" I heard Tomoyo say.

The shadow turned around and prepared to finish us. 'It cannot end like this' I though frantically. All of a sudden a bright light appeared and engulfed the shadow. When the light was gone, the shadow had disappeared.

"Is everyone ok?" I heard a voice say. I turned around to see Eriol Hiragizawa standing there with his magic staff.

"Thanks Eriol, we are ok", said Sakura. "But what was that?"

"This is not the moment to answer that. We have to get out of here before anymore enemies appear" Said Eriol.

"But…"

"He is right Kinomoto", I said. You know, I hated to agree with him, but he was right. "Let's get to your place Hiragizawa, and no more tricks this time"

"You can be sure that nothing of that will happen", said Eriol and then he smiled, and that made me sure that I was making a big mistake, but there wasn't any other way out of this. I proceeded to follow them, trying to imagine what awaited for us next.
