Chapter Two: Syaoran's Life


Before we get on the Syaoran's Life I'm sure you want to know about the whole Li thing at the end of Chapter One, well here it is.

"Who is Li?" asked Tomoyo sleepily.

"I don't have a clue," said Sakura.

"How can you not know?" asked Tomoyo.

"I just don't know," said Sakura.

"Well, what about your dream, what happened?" asked Tomoyo.

"I don't know that either, I don't remember anything at all, I don't even know anyone named Li," said Sakura.

"Sheesh, that's kinda weird," said Tomoyo.

"Yeah I know, but oh well, let's go back to bed," said Sakura.

"Ok whatever," said Tomoyo.

Now back to learning about Syaoran's Life.

Syaoran was sitting on his bed in him room. There was nothing to do that day.

=You would think there would be something to do on a day like this. Luckily the day is almost over= thought Syaoran.

Syaoran's friends had all gone off for the whole summer and would be back till the end of the week. The only person that was there was his sisters and his mother and Wei. There was his next neighbour Mya, but she had a crush on him and besides he just wasn't interested in the girls. Especially the ones who had crush on him. It was a pain at school when he walked through the halls. They would point and stare and giggle. He hated it. The worst part had to be that they were pretty much to only ones around. He could of phone anyone of them to do anything and they would drop everything just to go somewhere with them. And you know what? He really hated that. He wanted someone was nice and caring and wasn't totally obsessed. Someone who had other interests besides him. Like that would ever happen.

"No one like that exists!" said Syaoran.

"Who sir?" asked Wei.

"Oh no one," said Syaoran.

=Man I'm an idiot= thought Syaoran, =Saying stuff like that suddenly and out loud too! Sheesh, it sure shows my intelligence.=

"Xiolang," called Yelan his mother.

"Yes mother?" called Syaoran.

"Come here would you? I need you talk to," said Yelan.

"Ok, I'll be there in a minute," said Syaoran exiting his room and going down the stairs to the Study where his mother sat at a desk.

"Hello Mother," said Syaoran coming along side the desk.

"I need you talk to you, I have just received this letter from a toy company that I have been doing business with in Canada. The owner is coming here for a meeting and she is bringing her daughter and her niece. As the future leader of the Li Clan I expect you to be courteous to them be nice please," said Yelan.

"Yes mother. When are they coming?" asked Syaoran in a very unenthusiastic voice.

"They will be here tomorrow sometime. I can't remember what time zone they're coming from but they should be here sometime in the morning perhaps," said Yelan.

"Ok, is that all?" asked Syaoran.

"Yes," said Yelan.

"Then I am going to out to walk in the gardens," said Syaoran.

"Alright then," said Yelan getting back to her work.

Syaoran went and put his shoes on and walked around the gardens. He walked through to gardens to his thinking place. It was a tree that he sat under when he wanted to think. It was a Cherry Blossom tree. It was the most beautiful tree he had ever seen. And given its place in the center of the garden it was the best place to sit down and think.

He looked up the cloudless sky. That too was very beautiful. Then he saw a shooting star. He used to wish on them when he was little. But now he was too old. Sometimes he would wish for something just in fun. This was one of these times.

"I wish I would meet a girl with half a brain: The girl of my dreams" said Syaoran laughing.

Now this is not to say he was sexist against. He had just not met one with half a brain before.

Syaoran sighed. He didn't believe he would find the girl of his dreams. Though one with half a brain was definitely possible. Just not at his school.

"Oh well, who cares," said Syaoran.

At that moment it started to rain. Syaoran didn't mind though. He liked to be out in the rain. In the rain was all is problems were obsolete. Washed away like chalk drawings on the pavement. A place to be completely alone. He liked it. It cleared his mind.

He walked all around the garden many times till he knew it was quite late. Then he walked into the house. He was drenched. He crept up to his room so him mom wouldn't hear him and got out of his wet clothes and has a shower and got ready to go to bed. But before he went to bed he went out onto his deck (it was covered so it wasn't affected by the rain). Syaoran sighed (he often does this). He looked out and could see the whole city. He had loved a girl once. But she had broken his heart. He closed his eyes to remember.

"Syaoran," said Whitney.

"Yes?" said Syaoran.

"I love you, you know?" said Whitney.

"Yeah I love you too," said Syaoran.

"We'll always be together right?" said Whitney.

"Always, you'll always be here in my heart," said Syaoran.

"I'm glad," said Whitney.


Syaoran opened his eyes. =Yes those were the times= thought Syaoran. =Sometimes I still miss her.= He closed his eyes again.

"Whitney don't go," said Syaoran.

"I have to my dad's moving," said Whitney.

"You said we'd always be together," said Syaoran.

"So I did," said Whitney.

"I told you I loved you and You told me that you loved me too," said Syaoran.

"Yeah, I said that too," said Whitney.

"Doesn't that mean anything to do you at all?" asked Syaoran.

"Well, no," said Whitney.

"What about the time we spent together?" said Syaoran.

"Who cares, anyways my dad is leaving and I'm moving to South Africa without you and I'm going to live my life as though you never existed," said Whitney.

"And so I will too, I'll move on too and I'll find the most beautiful girl in the whole entire world and she'll be the head of the Li Clan," said Syaoran.

"Li Clan?" said Whitney.

"Yes the Li Clan, I'm surprised you forgot. I will be head of the Li Clan," said Syaoran.

"Maybe I will come back then," said Whitney.

"Who cares? If you think you can come back in and out of my life like that, you are sadly mistaken, try it and see what happens," said Syaoran.

"I think I might," said Whitney turning around and boarding her flight.


Syaoran opened his eyes, tears streamed down her face. =I really did love her and she turned out not to care at all= thought Syaoran. =Oh well, I'm fine now it doesn't matter, I will move on someday and I will find somebody special=

Syaoran wiped away his tears and went back inside. He laid down on the bed and turned off his light and went to sleep.

Meanwhile someone was watching from the trees.

"My My," said a voice in the shadows, "The future leader of the Li Clan crying. How interesting. Not so tough now is he."

Syaoran had a strange dream that night. In his dream he was in the woods. He was walking all by himself and suddenly something came out and bit him and the pain was immense. The pain was so immense that he fainted in his dream. When he awoke it was still night and he looked at his hands but instead of human hands, he had hands covered in fir with claws instead of nails. He looked at his feet. They were the same. His face, he felt his face. It was hairy. He was a werewolf.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO" screamed Syaoran sitting up. He looked at his hand and then his feet and felt his face. It was normal. He was normal and in his bed.

"Man I hate dreams like that," said Syaoran.

"Master Li, are you ok?" said Wei opening the door of his room.

"Oh yeah, sorry about that," said Syaoran blushing.

"Well if you're fine then I am going back to my room," said Wei.

"Yeah, I'm fine Wei. Arigato (thanks)," said Syaoran.

"Goodnight," said Wei.

"Goodnight," said Syaoran.

"Sheesh," said Syaoran, "Why did I freak out like that?"

Syaoran shook his head and got back into bed and turned off the light.

"Syaoran wake up!" said a voice that Syaoran recognized as his mothers.

"Yes mother," said Syaoran. He got up had a shower and go dressed up. Today was the day the guest came and he had to look respectable. When he was done getting dressed. He called down to his mother.

"When are they coming?" Syaoran asked.

"Any minute now, Please get down here to greet our guests," said Yelan.

"Yes," said Syaoran coming down the stairs. He stood by his mother at the door waiting for the guests.

"Mrs. Li," said Wei.

"The guest have arrived, shall I go to meet them at the gate?" asked Wei.

"No that will not be necessary," said Yelan, "Syaoran and I will go ourselves."

So Yelan and Syaoran opened the door of their mansion and walked down the walk to greet there guests.

"Welcome," said Yelan.

"Hello Mrs. Li," said Sonomi, "It is a pleasure to meet you."

"The pleasure is all mine," said Yelan, "This is my son Syaoran Li."

"And this my daughter Tomoyo and my niece Sakura," said Sonomi.

"Hello," said Syaoran bowing.

"Hello," said Tomoyo and Sakura not really sure of what to do.

"Syaoran would you take Tomoyo and Sakura to their rooms please," asked Yelan.

"Yes Mother," said Syaoran.

"Oh there has just been a lot of things I've wanted to talk to you about for one…" said Yelan. She probably said more than that but that was all Syaoran, Tomoyo and Sakura heard.

"What a beautiful house Li-kun," said Sakura.

"Thank you," said Syaoran.

"I agree, it is quite magnificent. Maybe even nicer than my home," said Tomoyo.

"Thank you," said Syaoran.

=I feel an aura coming from Sakura= thought Syaoran. =It's quite strong and very…Pink=

=Syaoran is giving off an aura. His is green. I've never felt a human aura before except Julian but that's different= thought Sakura.

=My they would make a kawaii (cute) couple. Did I pack my video camera?= Thought Tomoyo. =Wait, Sakura is in love with Ben oh well, I still think they would make a nice couple=

"Here are your rooms," said Syaoran.

"Oh my," said Sakura.

They came upon two rooms. A door in the wall connected the two rooms to each other. Both rooms were beautifully furnished with Chinese art on the walls and Chinese artifacts on the dressers, which were hand carved Chinese style. Both beds were had duvets that had hand embroidered designs. The whole room was beautiful.

"Oh my doesn't cut it. The room is art," said Tomoyo.

"Um… Yeah I guess," said Syaoran, "Anyways, if you like, later I can show you the Li family gardens."

"That would be nice," said Sakura smiling at him.

"Anyways, I have to go now, I've got some work to do and I will see you later," said Syaoran speaking quickly. He had to get away before they had seen the blush forming in his cheeks.

"Goodbye Li-kun!" said Sakura.

"Bye Kinomoto-chan," said Syaoran.

=Man what is it about her, but that aura, I need to be careful.=

=Hmm…. He is very strong perhaps a warrior.=

"What are you thinking Sakura-chan?" asked Tomoyo.

"I'm thinking about Li-kun," said Sakura thoughtfully.

"Oh, how do you think Ben is going to react to that," said Tomoyo slyly.

"Not that kinda thinking about him!" said Sakura.

"Yeah I know, but was so interesting about him that you HAD to think about him," asked Tomoyo.

"Couldn't you sense that? Just faintly?" asked Sakura.

"Sense what? I can senses lots of things depending where I am," said Tomoyo.

"His aura. It's very green and powerful," said Sakura.

"Yeah I could sense that, but barely. I couldn't quite make out a colour but sensed it," said Tomoyo.

"Yeah. We gotta watch out for this guy. He could be dangerous," said Sakura.

"He doesn't seem dangerous and don't think my mom would do business with a lady who had a psychotic son," said Tomoyo.

"Yeah, I suppose you're right, I still want to know more about him," said Sakura.

"Yeah, me too," said Tomoyo. =If she falls for this guy I am going be so happy!=

Syaoran was walking through the Li Gardens again when he turned around suddenly. He had felt a familiar aura. He knew it wasn't Sakura but it was very familiar. He sat down right there and closed his eyes and concentrated. =Who did the familiar aura belong to.= He went deep and far inside his head.

"Whitney!" said Syaoran softly.

He opened his eyes and looked around. He couldn't see anybody. He closed his eyes to try and detect where the aura was coming from. He sensed it was far away to the East. Still within the city borders but not within the estate.

"Whitney, that two faced double crossing horrible excuse for a girl, if she thinks I'll take her back after what she did, she is sadly mistaken. But if she's back and I don't have a girlfriend she's gonna know," said Syaoran.

"Man I wish I had never said those things. I should learn to keep my mouth shut!" said Syaoran.

"Why would you do something like that," said a voice.

Syaoran turned around it was Sakura and Tomoyo. "Oh hello," said Syaoran.

"Hi. Anyways why are you out here talking to yourself," asked Sakura.

"Oh no particular reason, not that it is any of your business," said Syaoran.

"Fine then," said Sakura turning around to leave.

"Sheesh that dude is pretty rude," said Tomoyo to Sakura.

"Yeah I know," said Sakura.

"Oh brother," said Syaoran sarcastically.

"You're doing it again," said Sakura laughing.

"Arrrgggg," said Syaoran grabbing his head.

"Sheesh, girls they think they're all that," said Syaoran.

"Who told you that," said Sakura.

"Oh shut up," said Syaoran walking off the opposite direction.

"Whatever," said Sakura.

=Girls, I can't stand them= said Syaoran.

Syaoran turned to see if the girls were still there. They weren't. So he went around the gardens awhile longer and eventually left them and went to the mall. There he could do something. It wasn't much fun without someone, but it was better than being cooped up with Sakura and Tomoyo. Sheesh.

"Hello Syaoran!" said a voice.

"Huh?" said Syaoran looking around and then he saw her.

"Oh no," said Syaoran under his breath.

"Syaoran honey, it's so nice to see you," said the voice.

"The feeling in not mutual Whitney," said Syaoran.

"Oh it's not is it," said Whitney.

"I'm sorry, that was rude. I'm not in the best of moods and you are the person I least expected to run into," said Syaoran.

"Oh I see. So how is your love life? Did you find that girl worthy of becoming head of the Li Clan," said Whitney sarcastically.

"As a matter of a fact I did and what about you? Did you move on as well," asked Syaoran.

"Oh yeah, as a matter of fact my boyfriend should be here any minute now," said Whitney looking around.

"So where is he, it shouldn't take that long," said Syaoran.

"Oh just be quiet," Whitney spotting someone, "Hey Marshall over here."

"Oh hey Whitney," said Marshall.

"Marshall this is Syaoran and Syaoran this is Marshall," said Whitney.

"Nice to meet you," said Li.

"Nice to meet you too," said Marshall.

"You're a lucky guy to have Whitney," said Syaoran.

"Yeah sure," said Marshall.

"Do you mean that Syaoran?" asked Whitney genuinely.

"Yeah," said Syaoran, "Not that it matters, I have a girlfriend now and you have a boyfriend."

"Yeah of course," said Whitney. =I am so over this guy so why are feelings like this returning. I was so mean to him when I left and now I'm like falling for him all over again=

"Anyways, I guess I'll see you later then," said Syaoran. =Seeing her again. She's so beautiful. I forgot how much I missed her. But that things she said to me and they way she treated me, I don't know can I ever trust her?=

When Syaoran was far away enough Whitney said something to Marshall, "Hey thanks a bunch of bailing me out there. I didn't want him to know that I was still single."

"No problem. When are you going to tell him that you're not single," said Marshall.

"Mostly likely never," said Whitney.

"Then what was the point of coming here," asked Marshall.

"I wanted to shop," said Whitney.

"Ok whatever," said Marshall. =She still loves that Li dude, I know, I wonder why she bothers lying though. It was so obvious and he still has a thing for her too. I wonder what will happen…= thought Marshall.

A while later…

=Why?= Thought Syaoran. =Why is she in my head. I promised I would never have feelings for her ever again and all of the sudden she's like *POP* in my life all of the sudden again=

"Why," said Syaoran walking home from the mall. He was worried though. He didn't have a girlfriend. But he didn't want her knowing that. =I could ask Mya. Wait, no I'm not that desperate=

Finally he arrived at home. He had been rude to Sakura and Tomoyo. He decided that before dinner he would go apologize. He walked through the vast house and arrived at their room…finally. He went up to the door and knocked.

"Come in," said a voice.

Sakura and Tomoyo were sitting on Sakura's bed.

"What do you want?" asked Sakura.

"I came to say sorry. For being rude earlier in the gardens, I am very sorry," said Syaoran.

Tomoyo and Sakura sat in shock. They couldn't believe he actually apologized. It was amazing.

"A-a-apology accepted," said Sakura stuttering in awe.

"Thank you for accepting my apology," said Syaoran turning to leave.

"Wait," said Sakura.

"Yes?" said Syaoran turning around.

"Why don't you have a seat? We can talk and we can get to know each other better," said Sakura.

"Ok then," said Syaoran.

So Syaoran came over and sat on the bed with them.

"So anyways, for starters what school do you go to?" asked Sakura.

"I got to Tomoeda High," said Syoaran, "What school do you two go to?"

"We go to Shelly Munroe Elementary," said Sakura.

"That's cool, do you have any extra activities?" asked Syaoran.

"Yup, I'm a cheerleader and I'm in lots of the running track and field events and lots of sports," said Sakura, "And you?"

"I'm in mostly sports. I do the 100m dash but most of the time I'm playing soccer or football or Rugby," said Syaoran.

"Oh cool, I play soccer too. I also play Tennis and I do cross country running and sometimes sprinting," said Sakura.

"That's cool," said Syaoran, "What do you do Tomoyo?"

"I video tape," said Tomoyo laughing. Sakura sweatdrops.

"Huh?" said Syaoran, "Video tape what?"

"Sakura," said Tomoyo. "I also make costumes for her."

"I see…" said Syaoran kinda puzzled.

"Don't ask," said Sakura.

"Trust me, I didn't want to know," said Syaoran.

"Haha, no she enjoys making costumes and stuff. She going into a career in designing clothes," said Sakura.

"Ok then," said Syaoran.

So the three of them reminisced and ended up becoming good friends. The only thing Sakura and Tomoyo left out was that she was the Card's Mistress and Syaoran left out the part where he was a direct descendant looking for the Card Master or Mistress.

"Dinner will be ready in a moment," said Wei entering the room.

"Ok Wei, we're coming," said Syaoran, "We can always talking later and maybe if you like I can show you my gardens," said Syaoran.

"Sure that would be nice," said Sakura.

"Cool, shall we ladies?" said Syaoran holding out his arms.

"We shall," Tomoyo and Sakura said grabbing each one of his arms.

So the three walked off to dinner the best of friends laughing and talking.

=Maybe girls aren't so bad after all= thought Syaoran.

Author's Note: What did you think about that? Good Bad? Please Review. Thanks!
