I was going to add more to this chapter, but my editor (Thank you Akal Saris!) said that this was enough. So here it is. I hope you like it! Please review.

Demon's Wings

Omens

Sakura looked around the airport. She had an expecting smile on her face, like a child who knows she'll get sweets after doing something good in school. She couldn't wait to see Syaoran! Of course they had to go to the hotel first and call him… but oh well!!

"This is great!" Tomoyo smiled broadly, watching the world through her camera lens.

Touya frowned, 'Why did I agree to this?' He wondered for the millionth time. 'All this way to almost exclusively see that brat… why me?'

"I'd say I feel your pain, but I'm going to have too much fun with my kawaii little descendant." Eriol read the look on Touya's face, making the young man nervous.

Sakura jumped at the comment, and then remembered that Touya had found out about all their magical mishaps. "Hoee…" Sakura shook her head. "Well, now we take a taxi right?"

Touya sighed, "What else, kajuu?" Sakura felt her eye twitch at the name.

"Onii-chan…" She growled.

"Hey! Kinomoto!!" A familiar call cut her off. "What are you standing there for?! Get over here. We're not allowed past security!" Everyone in their terminal turned to see the source of the shouts.

"Meiling…?" Sakura blushed a little at the big fuss her friend was making.

"Who else?! Get over here!"

Sakura raced past security, she dropped her bag and flung her arms around her friend, "Meiling!" The Chinese girl nearly fell over. She glanced down at Sakura in surprise then faintly smiled, hugging her tightly.

"It's been a while, Kinomoto." Meiling smirked. Watching as Tomoyo, Eriol, and Touya walked towards them.

"Konnichi wa." Tomoyo smiled, watching through her camera lens.

"Ohayo," Eriol looked past Meiling at someone, a wicked smile crept onto his face, "My kawaii little descendant."

"You haven't changed, Hiiragizawa."

"Thank you."

Sakura looked up and the smile grew larger on her face, "Syaoran!" Meiling smiled letting her go. Sakura glanced at her friend, who nodded slightly, "Syaoran!" She ran over the boy, nearly knocking him down with a hug.

Syaoran blushed only to blush a brighter shade of red after hearing the familiar whirl of a camera and a loud, "Kawaii!!"

He patted Sakura awkwardly. "It's good to see you too… Sakura."

"What… is… going… on?!" Touya growled. Sakura let go of Syaoran, she watched the two go into an all out glare war. She sighed, some things would never change…

"Sakura!" A muffled voice came from the bag on the ground. Sakura winced and slowly turned around, picking up her bag. She opened it and Kero poked his head out and huge red bump was right in the middle of his head. "Sa-ku-ra! You forgot all about me didn't you?"

"Heh heh. Gomen nasai Kero-chan."

"You've got nothing to apologize for Kinomoto." Meiling smirked, putting her hands on her hips. "The stuffed animal doesn't realize you've got better people to hang out with and can't always play with toys." Kero's eye twitched.

"What did you say?!?!" He growled, "I dare you to repeat that!"

"Which part? The stuffed animal or the toy?" Sakura looked around nervously. People were beginning to stare.

"Not now you two." She whispered, zipping up the bag. Eriol smiled, grateful Nakuru wasn't here. She'd be making life a living nightmare for Spinel, who was thankfully asleep in his bag.

"It's good to see you all again." A familiar voice said. Sakura turned around and smiled in recognition.

"Mrs. Li!" She bowed. "Hello!"

Tomoyo bowed politely. "Konnichi wa." Eriol smiled slightly, looking at his other descendant. Their eyes met and Yelan immediately sensed his magic.

"Clow?"

"His reincarnation to be exact." Eriol corrected.

"Then we have much to talk about." She said, then turned to face everyone, "I know you are staying at a hotel, but I'm afraid I must insist that you stay with us."

"That sounds alright to me." Sakura smiled, "I'd be very grateful. Onii-chan…" She looked up at her brother, her eyes glittering. Syaoran faintly smiled… he did know how anyone could resist that expression. He shook his head as the familiar 'kawaii!' echoed behind him.

"Well… only if it's not a problem."

"I wouldn't have made the offer if it were a problem." Yelan said, matter-of-factly. Sakura, Tomoyo, and Meiling began to talk endlessly. Eriol was watching them with Yelan and Syaoran and Touya began their glare war again.

"Just stay away from my sister, brat." Touya said.

Syaoran narrowed his eyes, "Speaking of sisters," He began to laugh inside, "My sisters can't wait to see you again." Touya's eyes grew slightly large. He remembered Syaoran's sisters and winced.

***************

"KAWAII!!" Sakura was bombarded by four girls. "Oh my gosh! You've both gotten so pretty!" Tomoyo and Sakura smiled, remembering the first time they had met these girls. They had been all over Touya and Eriol (especially Touya) for the first hour of their stay. Eriol, for once, had been completely surprised and Touya had a funny look on his face.

"Tomoyo, I have some more of those Chinese outfits that you both liked so much. You can take pictures of Sakura." Shiefua took Tomoyo and Sakura by the hand and raced with them upstairs, the other three sisters close behind, giggling all the way. Syaoran sighed, he felt so sorry for Sakura.

"I admire you for living with them… and surviving." A disheveled Eriol sighed, sitting down.

Syaoran smirked, "Well, they are your descendants." Touya shook himself off. Those girls were beginning to scare him.

"Xiao-lang," Yelan glanced at Touya, who was looking a little pale, "Show Kinomoto-san to his room. He looks tired." Yelan sat on the couch as Syaoran and Touya glared at each other.

"Come on then," Syaoran grumbled.

"Arigato." Touya said… to Yelan. The two left the room.

Spinel appeared on Eriol's shoulder. "So this is Hong Kong?"

"Syaoran's house actually."

"Ah…"

Meiling popped up out of no where, "I'll show you around." She grabbed Spinel and ran off, "I know you'll love the library…" For some reason, the two had been getting along very well. Probably because they both loved to mock Kero.

Eriol blinked several times before understanding what had taken place in less than second. "I believe Meiling is the only person on this planet that I'll never understand." Yelan chose not to reply.

Burning sun… ruby-red blood…hateful blaze…

"What?" Eriol jerked up… what was that?

Yelan stared at him, "I take it you just heard it, too? That strange voice?"

"Hai. What was it?"

She frowned, "An omen. Something is going to happen. But I do not know what. I don't sense any strange or evil magic."

"What ever it is: it doesn't sound good." Eriol was thoughtful a moment, "Has anyone else heard it?"

"No. I don't believe so." Yelan's face was expressionless again, "Whatever it is, it must be very well hidden for only us to hear it." Eriol nodded in agreement. "I do not think we should worry anyone until we have an idea of what is going to happen. They're all so happy to see each other. It'd be a shame to ruin their happiness."

Eriol retreated into his mind, trying to recall something. The part of him that had been Clow Reed was tingling as if there was something he should know… "But we don't know if something's going to happen. Something will happen and I have a feeling that it's not going to be very nice."

***************

Sakura began walking up the stairs. It was pitch black so she was careful not to spill her glass of water. It was around ten pm and she walked along one of the outdoor corridors of the house. Smiling, she recalled what had happened: she must have tried on at least twenty outfits, stopped Kero from emptying the house of food… twice, watched Mei-lin and Kero argue with one another (innumerable times), helped Touya escape Syaoran's sisters (three times), help keep Kero or Fuanren from giving Suppi sweets (twice)… all this and she was stilled tired from the plane ride over. Leaning against the balcony over-looking the garden, she realized that whenever she wasn't going through some crisis, she and Syaoran had been simply, staring at each other. She blushed, it felt so nice having him around. She left her glass on the flat railing and looked at the night sky. Syaoran hadn't changed much. He stopped glaring a everyone, except Touya that is, and was now about and inch taller than her, Meiling too. But Eriol was the tallest in their group. Tomoyo kept saying that Sakura and Syaoran were so kawaii and was trying to get them to appear together on her video screen.

"Sakura?"

'Well speak of the devil.' Sakura thought, "Syaoran."

"What are you doing still up?" He asked her. He was still completely dressed.

"I got thirsty." She held up the water, "You?"

He shrugged, "I don't know. So… you enjoying your stay? I hope my sister's didn't kill anyone."

Sakura laughed, "They're a whole lot of fun." Syaoran remained silent, but she had a feeling that he agreed with her. She smiled and suddenly hugged him, "It's so good to see you again."

Syaoran grew tense, then relaxed and returned the hug, "I missed all you guys too."

She pulled away, "Do you really mean that?"

"Yes. But don't you dare tell anyone I said that." He added quickly. Sakura smiled, some things would just never change. "You better get some sleep. We've got a long day tomorrow."

Sakura nodded, remembering that they were going to tour Hong Kong. "Good night then."

"Good night." The two went down the opposite ends of the hallway. Sakura took the cup and went with a slight skip, nearly forgetting the glass of water until some water trickled down her hand.

"Sakura?"

She froze, 'Is everyone awake tonight?' She sighed. She turned around… Yelan was standing behind her. 'Must be a family thing: being able to just appear and disappear like that.' "Hello." She bowed.

Yelan knelt down, so she could look right into Sakura's bright emerald eyes with her own dark ones. "Sakura, young Mistress of the Cards, you must make me a promise."

Sakura was confused but said, "Yes, what is it?"

"If anything were to happen to me or my daughters, you must take care of my Xiao-lang."

"Of course I would." Sakura said immediately. "But why-?"

"We'll leave it at that for now. We'll talk some other time." Yelan kissed her cheek, "Sleep well."

Sakura froze a moment, before whispering, "Good… night?" Yelan walked away, leaving Sakura very confused. 'What was that about?' she wondered. Feeling uneasy, she continued down the hall and went to bed.

"As far as I'm concerned I have no name."

Sakura looked around. It was raining hard in this strange dark void, "Who's there?" She ran through the rain.

"They'll all perish!" A voice different from the first growled.

Sakura felt chills crawl up her spine. "Who are you?" She shouted. Fire suddenly blazed in front of her. Flames leapt higher and higher. The rain disappeared… leaving only smoke and heat. Piercing, torturous screams filled her ears.

"Get out!"

"Save him!"

"No!" The screams raked her mind. She covered her ears. They were horrible screams, making her want to cry. The flames licked at her feet. She jumped away, panicking. Flames surrounded her. "No! Get away!" She was trapped in its inferno. Cool rain flowed all around her… washing away the bitter fire. Sakura rubbed her scorched eyes.

The screams had stopped… it was eerie… too quiet…

Sakura looked around her. Puddles of water were all that remained in this strange black void. She looked at her reflection in the water… Someone else was staring back at her, dirty from the fire, tired from the run, pained by the screams. It wasn't her reflection it… was… Syaoran's…

~

Sakura jerked awake, gasping, "What…?" She shook her head a few times and drank steadily from the glass of water on her nightstand. 'Haven't had dreams like that in a while.' She thought shakily, rubbing her head. 'What does it mean? First Li's mother tells me to watch out for him if something happens to her and now…' She stepped out of bed, a slight tremble in her step. It was eight in the morning. In three hours, her tour of Hong Kong would begin.
