Wish Upon a Rising Star
A/N- This story is almost completely AU. Here's some background. Please don't flame me if you don't like what I did! I know they're completely out of character! I don't own the songs, the characters, etc. S+S forever! Also, I'm sticking to the original 52 cards!
Prologue/Really long note
Sakura's name is Sakura Nadeshiko Kinomoto in this fic, not for real. She was named after her mother. NO ONE KNOWS HER REAL NAME EXCEPT TOMOYO. THAT IS VERY IMPORTANT. At school, everyone calls her Shiko-chan because they think her name is Nadeshiko. She and Tomoyo are great at singing. They have identical long hair, except different colors. There are no guy/guy girl/girl relationships in this fic. I offend people enough already. I use only first names in this story cuz if not, Syaoran would have found out in the beginning that Nadeshiko Kinomoto was somehow related to Sakura Kinomoto.
What only Tomoyo and Sakura's family knows is that Sakura is a famous singer. She goes by the name Cherry Star. (That has nothing to do with Julian Star, by the way. I AM NOT A DUBBIE!) Meilin isn't in this. No I do not hate her; in fact she's one of my favorite characters. Syaoran and Sakura were childhood friends. Syaoran used to spend his summers in Japan. He always promised to come back the next summer. The summer after she turned ten, he didn't come. She was busy catching cards and couldn't really worry about it then anyway. The next summer she became a singer, always wearing a mask to conceal her identity. At school, she refused to sing solos because then her voice would be recognized.
Her songs turned from happy love songs to sadder and sadder songs about losing the one you love. Tomoyo knew that Sakura loved Syaoran, and she always had. Her hopefulness wore away year after year, until she got the nickname Crying Cherry because she cried when she sang her songs. Now that it's been seven years since that summer he didn't come back, my story begins.

"But mother, please let me go to Japan! I will find the Clow Mistress and get the cards!" Syaoran pleaded with his mother. Besides, he wanted to see his Sakura again. And there was always that Japanese singer that's still popular after six years, Cherry Star. He'd love to go to one of her concerts.
"Very well then. I suppose you'd like to stay the summer like when you were small," his mother said, finally giving in. He nodded. She sighed and left the room. He really wished that he hadn't had to stay in China for the past seven years. Stupid training. He wanted to be with the girl from his childhood, the girl he'd fallen in love with. That's another reason he wanted to go to one of Cherry's concerts, which were only in Japan. He'd always felt a connection with her lyrics, and they got less and less hopeful as the years went by, just as he had. He still remembered her first song, My Only Love. (AN: I know, it's from Sailor Moon. Give me a break, okay? I think this is how it goes. My CD skips on most of the songs.)
Deep in my soul
Love so strong
It takes control
Now we both know
The secrets bared
The feelings show
Driven far apart
I'll make a wish
On a shooting star
There will come a day
Somewhere far away
In your arms I'll stay
My only love
Even though you're gone
Love will still live on
The feeling is so strong
My only love
There will come a day
Somewhere far away
In your arms I'll stay
My only love
You've reached the deepest part
Of the secret in my heart
I've known it from the start
My only love
My only love
Syaoran loved that song. It was known all over China and Japan, as well as its singer. Her face didn't appear on the covers of her numerous CDs and she always wore pink-tinted sunglasses that screwed up her eye color. Her hair was short, up higher than her shoulders and a black mask was attached to her sunglasses, covering her nose and forehead. Still, she had recently started crying during her concerts and you could see the tears running down her lower cheeks. He'd fallen in love with both Sakura and the Japanese singer. He didn't know they were one and the same.
His mother wanted him to find out about the Star Cards. The family thought they were called the Nadeshiko Cards. Syaoran had seen pictures of Nadeshiko, but he didn't recognize her as the Sakura he knew. The girl's hair was much too long. Sakura had always hated having long hair. When he hadn't come back, Sakura grew her hair long because he'd liked it short. If he did come back, she wanted to be sure he'd go through the trouble of finding her, and that meant making it as hard as possible for him. Sakura's plan was working.

"What's up Shiko-chan?" Tomoyo asked Sakura. For once, Sakura was early to school. "Got two new songs. I'm early this morning because I was up all night sorting out my ideas," she said with a groan. But she was actually full of energy. Sakura was pleased with herself for getting two new songs the day before her next concert. She was humming them until the teacher announced something odd.
It was May, and there were only a few weeks of school left. Yet, the surprised teacher announced that they had a transfer student from Hong Kong, Syaoran Li. Sakura said 'Hai' along with the rest of the class and completely ignored the fact that he was her childhood love. She pretended she didn't know him, and she sensed that he didn't recognize her. At lunchtime, she went up to him. "You look confused. Come sit with my friends and me," she offered with a smile. He nodded and followed her. She introduced him to everyone. "I'm Nadeshiko, but please call me Shiko. I don't like people to use my last name. This is Naoko, Tomoyo, Chiharu, Rika, and Yamazaki," Sakura said, pointing to each one as she said their name. "Hi. I'm Syaoran Li, but I think you already know that," Syaoran said. They had lunch there that day, then returned to class. Syaoran noted that Shiko seemed oddly familiar. He figured it was just that he sensed her control of the Cards. Sakura was careful not to mention anything about her childhood to make him think she was really Sakura. This was going just as planned.
