Do Prophesies Come True?
******Saturday********
A night on the floor of a bare apartment was not very enjoyable and Syaoran grumbled under his breath before waking up. Taking a look outside, he guessed that it was about 9 a.m. from the sun.
'Kuso! I've got to get on with my mission.' After years of intense training, Syaoran learned to hide his aura from others with magic. 'It's better if she doesn't know I'm here. This way I can protect her without anyone interfering.'
'Might as well change how I look. She's bound to recognize me if I don't do anything'
With that, he went and bought himself some hair dye and colored contacts. On his way back, he saw something that startled him. Walking his way were none other than Eriol with his arm draped around Tomoyo's shoulder. Both seemed perfectly at peace.
'So Daidouji and Hiiragizawa hooked up' Syaoran thought with a grin as he quickly hid from view behind a post. They walked past him without noticing and continued to chat.
"When are we meeting Sakura-san and Jutsun-kun?" Eriol asked.
"At noon Eriol-kun. It's gonna be a great double date with the four of us. The fair is awesome this time of the year!" Tomoyo replied.
From his hiding spot, Syaoran cringed at the thought. 'So she has a boyfriend. That makes it all the more important that she doesn't recognize me.'
As Tomoyo and Eriol walk out of view, Syaoran steps out from behind the post. Looking sadly up at the sky for a second, he feels more determination than ever to finish the mission.
Arriving back at the makeshift house, Syaoran proceeds to change his looks. After finishing, he walked out into the living room.
"Hey Li!" Harry says when he hears the door open. "I'll go look f- What the hell did you do to yourself?!"
A black haired, dark blue eyed Syaoran stared back at him.
"I had a makeover."
"I'll say. I don't recognize you. Anyway as I was saying before, I'll find some couches and tables for this place. Not to mention beds and a TV so I'll be busy today. You got any plans?"
"Yeah I got a lot of things I need to take care of. I'll be back tonight ok?"
"Right." Harry said simply and returned to look at ads.
******That afternoon******
"Hurry up Sakura or we're gonna be late!"
Sakura turned and looked at her brown haired boyfriend. They were supposed to meet Tomoyo and Eriol at the park in 5 minutes but she had remembered her purse halfway there.
"Be right there!" She called out. Racing upstairs, she flew by a napping Kero who had just stuffed himself with the biggest chocolate cake ever. After grabbing her purse, she ran downstairs and out the door once more.
"Come on!" Grabbing the hand of her boyfriend, she pulled him along at marathon speed to the park.
A record of 10 minutes later, they arrived panting and out of breath.
"So there you are! You guys are late yet again!" Tomoyo chided as she got off the bench with Eriol in tow.
"S-sorry. I forgot my purse halfway here and ran to go get it." Sakura panted. "So you guys ready to go to that f-"
*growl*
Sakura blushed bright red after hearing her stomach.
"Uh sorry about that." She said sheepishly. "I didn't get a chance to eat breakfast."
"That's ok Sakura-chan. Why don't we go get something to eat first?" Tomoyo suggested.
"I'm all for it!" Jutsun exclaimed. "Chinese?"
At the mention on 'Chinese' Sakura's heart ached for reasons that she didn't understand. She tried playing it off by nodding vigorously.
Minutes later, the four arrived at the closest Chinese restaurant, Li's Golden Buddha. Sakura shook her head at the strange thoughts associated with the name of the restaurant.
'I'm going insane! What's wrong with me?' she thought desparately.
As they all took a seat, the waiter came up and handed them 4 menus. Sakura took one look at the front cover and gasped. It said: Year of the Wolf. Below it was an adorable picture of a wolf cub.
The waiter noticed her gasp and mistook her meaning. "Cute isn't it? In my country they are called Xiao Lang. They are extremely loyal to the pack and would sacrifice themselves for the common good.
Sakura nodded and repeated the word. "Xiao Lang..."
"Would you like to order now?" the waiter asked politely.
"Sure." answered Tomoyo. "I'll have Wonton soup. Eriol-kun?"
"I'll have some Kung Pao Chicken. Jutsun-kun?"
"Umm...how about some Mongolian Beef? What about you Sakura?"
"..."
"Sakura?" Jutsun asked worriedly.
"...hun? Oh yeah. Uhh..I really don't know. What's good?"
"Today's specialty is the Hong Kong platter. Is that alright?"
Sakura could only nod. 'Hong Kong...'
"And what would you all like to drink?"
"Coke."
"Tea."
"Sake."
"How about a rootbeer float?"
"Of course. The only icecream we have at the moment is chocolate. Is that ok ma'am?" the waiter asked.
"Chocolate...is fine." Sakura said.
"Thank you very much. I'll be back shortly."
The four chatted as they waited for their food. Well actually only three as Sakura seemed preoccupied. She barely registered when her food arrived.
"Hey Sakura-chan, I thought you were hungry? The food is here." Tomoyo said.
"Thanks Tomoyo-chan." Sakura replied. She barely spoke a word during the entire time and didn't listen to the other's conversations.
After finishing the meal, the waiter brought out the bill and 4 fortune cookies.
"I got the bill." Tomoyo offered. "Everyone grab a fortune!"
"Thank's Tomoyo-chan. You really don;t have to." Sakura said.
"Nonsense. It was my treat. Now I'll go first." Tomoyo replied as she opened her cookie. "'One that lives off of another's life often does not have one themself.' What's that supposed to mean?"
"I'll go next." Eriol volunteered. "'Manipulation is a work of the devil.' We'll I'll be..."
"My turn." Jutsun said. "'No matter how hard you try, some things are meant to slip away.' What the hell is that!?"
Sakura mutely grabbed a cookie and opened it. "Someone from your past will come crashing into your life once more." Suddenly she Sakura grew pale. Her mind raced with thoughts of the past hour.
'Chinese, Li, Wolf, Xiao Lang, Hong Kong, Chocolate, from my past...SYAORAN! Oh my god! I still love him...'
A/N: No action yet but there will be. Please review and tell me how I'm doing. Thanks!
