Chapter 1 – Our First Meeting"Tomoyo, I don't think I'm going to be needing that much stuff! We're just going there for a month, not a year!" Sakura said as she came back and saw Tomoyo putting everything in her suitcases.
"I know, but you can never be sure about trips like these," Tomoyo said as she ran out of her room and to the bathroom to get her toothbrush, hairbrush, etc.
"Tomoyo, you're not going to try to do anything funny over there, are you?" Sakura asked, eyeing her suspiciously as she sat on the suitcase to close it.
"No! Of course not, Sakura! How can you think of such a thing like that?" Tomoyo asked Sakura innocently as she walked up to her.
"Tomoyo…" Sakura said, but stopped as she saw a picture of her and her ex-boyfriend.
Tomoyo looked at what she was starring at and looked back at Sakura, a sad expression on her face.
"Sakura, I just want you to get away from here for awhile. I know you miss and he hurt you really bad, but you need to move on and I think a trip with me to Hong Kong is just perfect for you," Tomoyo said as she gave her a hug.
'Sigh. Tomoyo is probably right about this. I do miss him and I do find myself thinking about him, but I don't think I'll be able to move on like she says,' Sakura thought as she wiped a tear away.
"So, what do you say?" Tomoyo asked, giving her friend a smile.
"Just promise me you won't let me think of him," Sakura said as she smiled back and grabbed a suitcase.
~*~ At the Airport in Hong Kong ~*~
"Are you sure that they were going to be coming on this day, Eriol?"
"Of course I'm sure Syaoran. Besides, Tomoyo only called me like ten times to make me memorize it forwards and backwards," Eriol said as he stood next to his cousin.
"So, when are you going to ask her?" Syaoran asked his cousin, smirking at him.
"Um…sometime…be…before she leaves…to…to go back," Eriol said as he blushed at what his cousin was asking him.
"You sure do have it bad, cousin," Syaoran said as he heard an announcement come on.
"Flight No. 120 from Japan is now docking. I repeat, Flight No. 120 from Japan is now docking."
"Well, we better get going then," Eriol said as he hurried to where they were docking.
'Yup, he's got it bad,' Syaoran said as he walked over there instead of trying to catch up to his cousin.
"Sakura, wake up," Tomoyo said as the plane started to land.
"Hmm…"
"Where here," Tomoyo said as she got up and noticed that they were the last ones on the plane.
"Hoe! Where is everyone?" Sakura said as she stood up.
"Well, it took me a while to finally get you to say something and then a bit more to get you to open your eyes," Tomoyo said as she giggled.
"Oh, I'm sorry Tomoyo. Eriol must be worrying about us," Sakura said as she got her stuff from the carrier.
"Don't worry, I called him when you didn't wake up and told him we might take a while to get down," Tomoyo said as she giggled again.
"Tomoyo, you're not going to be tape recording…"
"You bet I am! See, I have it with me right here!" Tomoyo said as she put her hand on her bag, indicating that she has it with her.
'Well, maybe she won't be measuring me for her designs and things like that this time,' Sakura thought, as she knew how carried away Tomoyo can get.
"I also brought my designing kits too," Tomoyo said as she walked out of the plane, leaving Sakura there.
'Sigh. Wishful thinking Sakura,' Sakura thought as she walked off the plane too.
When Tomoyo and Sakura got off the plane they looked around for someone with messy blue hair, glasses and grayish blue eyes. It took them a while until they finally saw someone that matched their description sitting down in a chair with someone else, chatting. The one he was talking to seemed to be getting impatient and Eriol looked like as if he was making it worse.
"Eriol!" Tomoyo yelled when she spotted him.
Eriol had his back turned to us, but when he turned around he almost fell out of his chair. He got up and ran to us, hugging the both of us and saying how glad he was to see us.
"Its good to see you too, Eriol," I said as I hugged him back.
When he let us go, I noticed that the man that he was talking to was walking towards us with a grim expression. From what Sakura could tell, he was tall, at least a bit taller than Eriol. He had unruly chocolate brown hair that went everywhere except where he wanted it to go with cold amber looking eyes.
Sakura thought he looked mysterious and someone that you shouldn't mess with, but he also looked handsome with the look. It somehow suited him in a way.
"Tomoyo, Sakura, this is my cousin and future leader of his clan, Syaoran Li. Syaoran, these are my friends, Tomoyo Daidouji and Sakura Kinomoto," Eriol said as he introduced them.
"Its nice to finally meet you, Syaoran," Tomoyo said as she shook his hand.
"I hope we'll get to know each other better," Sakura said as she also shook his hand.
When their hands touched, they felt a shocking sensation run through them and they looked at one another. They knew that the other one had felt what they felt, but quickly dismissed it.
"Cute!" Tomoyo said as she turned off her recorder.
"Tomoyo you didn't!" Sakura said as she starred at her in shock.
"Yup, all on tape," Tomoyo said as she smiled at Sakura.
"Tomoyo…" Sakura said as she pouted at her friend and turned to apologize to Syaoran.
'She looks cute when she pouts and those eyes…what am I thinking!' Syaoran thought as he looked at her.
"…So I'm really sorry," Sakura said as she looked up to find him starring at her funny.
"Don't worry about it," Syaoran said as he looked at Eriol.
"I guess we should get going then," Eriol said they walked to pick up their luggage and left.
~*~ At the Elders Home ~*~
"Yelan, we fear that one of the girls that came today is going to break through Syaoran's barriers. We have worked to hard to let a girl just come in and break through him," said one of the elders.
"I understand, but don't you think that…"
"Yelan, we fear anything that is not known to us and we fear this girl that has arrived with her friend to visit Eriol. We do not like this," said the same elder.
"But if you would only listen to what I have to say about Syao…"
"That is final, Yelan Li. You must make sure that they do not get to close one another. We do not want for her to take him away. He needs to stay here to lead our clan," said the elder.
"Very well," Yelan said as she bowed and left.
'Syaoran, I'm sorry, my son,' Yelan thought as she walked home, knowing that her son would never feel or experience love.
Well, what do you guys think so far? Hope I'm getting better! Review please! -Bluepiper
