Ascension
Chapter 5
To say that Li's house was big would be an understatement of galactic proportions. There was no doubt in Sakura's mind now that the Showran family possessed a more than healthy income.
'How is it that I always end up becoming friends with the wealthy?' Sakura thought to herself.
Upon entering the house, Sakura was immediately greeted by Li's four older sisters who wasted no time expressing to Sakura how cute they thought she was.
"Isn't she just the prettiest?"
"She's so lovely, just like us!"
"The Elders are going to pick her for sure!"
"You've got that right! I mean, how could they POSSIBLY turn down someone as adorable as this?"
Sakura did her best to stay cool, but this was becoming a little too much. Fortunately, Yelan was able fend her daughters away from the overwhelmed Sakura.
"Daughters, please," Yelan said. "Sakura is our guest. Let's give her a little breathing room."
"Sorry mother," they all said at once.
"Li will show you to your room Sakura. As for Kero, I believe we may have something 'sweet' for him in the kitchen."
Kero flew out of Sakura's bag. "At laaaaaaaast!"
"Oh, how cute!" Feimei exclaimed. "A talking teddy bear!"
Now it was Kero's turn to be overwhelmed. "Woah! Hey, watch it girls! What the--? What're ya doin'? Don't tug at my wings! I need those to fly!"
Meanwhile, Li lead Sakura to her room. It was a nice room-really nice!
"Wow! This is a nice room Li-really nice!" Sakura said.
"I'm glad you like it," said Li. Seeing Sakura happy always seemed to give him this warm feeling inside. "Sorry about my sister. They've ALWAYS been like that!"
"Oh, that's okay. They seem really nice. By the way, do they have any magical powers?"
"A little, but not enough to be trained in the arts of magic." Li scratched his head. "Well, uh, I guess I'll just let you settle in. Dinner's at six. After dinner, my mother wants to talk to you about your upcoming meeting with the Elders."
"Sure, no problem!"
"So, I guess I'll, uh, see you then. If you need anything at all, you just ask for it." With that, Li left.
'I wish he'd stop doing that,' Sakura thought, 'I really like him.' Although she had hated Li in the beginning (maybe 'hated' is too strong a word. 'Disliked is perhaps more appropriate), their adventures capturing the Clow Cards helped her grow to respect him. If it hadn't been for Li, Sakura would never have succeeded in sealing all the Cards. Sakura owed a lot to Li, and she really considered him a friend.
'I really like him,' she thought. 'But I think I'd like him even more if he didn't avoid me so much.'
