Bending the Rules

Wish Upon A Fallen Star: Snowykittenz/Syaoran



As I stared at the midnight sky, I saw it, a little twinkle slowly falling towards earth. This was the shooting star that I had been told about. I closed my eyes and slowly whispered my wish, letting my heart reach out to the star. "I wish Card Captors Sakura was real, and that I could be Syaoran, Tam Chronin to be Sakura and for L-chan to be Nakuru" I whispered gently.

The star seemed to brighten up a little and I watched it for the next ten minutes as it fell to the earth.

"Thank you for listening..." I said to the star as it began to disappear and trodded over to bed. I must have been rather tired because I couldn't remember getting into my bed and changing into my green pyjamas.

(does Tam's divide :) )

The next day I woke up with a slight headache, because of staying up so late, I presumed. I slowly walked down the corridor to the toilet and went round my usual business. It wasn't till then I noticed something was definitely wrong.

"What the he..." I put my hands over my mouth, not believing what I'd just heard, In my mind I was thinking English but I could tell I was speaking some other kind of language.

I suddenly noticed that the room I was in wasn't my home bathroom, it was different. The room was painted in oriental designs, with pictures of houses on stilts in rivers painted in blue against a red and orange sunset. The bathroom itself was amazing but the bedroom and garden was even more spectacular.

In my bedroom was a four-poster bed, which at each corner had the engravings of the four elements. On my pillow was the symbol for spirit; it made sense that there would be magic symbols everywhere.

I was shocked when all of a sudden I heard a knocking at the door of my bedroom.

"Master Syaoran, your breakfast is ready, your mother Yelan is concerned that you might be I'll seeing as you've overslept..." shouted a voice through the door. i instantly recognized the voice as Wei's and thought it was pretty cool that I could hear Wei speaking in English even though he was speaking in Chinese.

I decided to answer back, "Yes Wei, tell mother I'm sorry and I will be with her in a short while!" I said through the door as I walked over to the chest of drawers.

Inside the chest of drawers were many ceremonial robes and school uniforms. I chose Syaoran's/my usual school uniform and went out into the hallway. The hallway was flooded with light from a huge window that went the entire length or the corridor.

Outside I recognized the garden, which I had seen so many times in the first cardcaptors movie.

I made my way towards a large oak door at the end of the corridor, which from behind, there voices talking. I slowly opened the door and peeked round. I gawped at the sight. There was a huge hall with many tapestries hanging off the walls and in the middle of the hall was a huge table that must have been able to seat at least fifty people. At the end was a group of four girls, my sisters, Yelan, my mother, and Mei-lin, my fiancée.

The hall went silent as I walked in, I took what I presumed was my place at the table and looked at the faces of those around me.

"Syaoran you're later than usual, a lot later than usual. Is something wrong?" Asked Yelan, raising one eyebrow and winking.

'Oh Drat, she knows!' I though to myself panicking. I shook my head, "No."

Yelan stood up, "I'm leaving the hall with Syaoran for a few minutes. You may start eating without me once the food arrives."

'Damn' I cursed in my head as I followed her out of the hall.

Yelan pointed her finger towards me and gave me a stern look, "your not Syaoran, I know that and I can also tell your female. You are surrounded with star magic so obviously the stars seem to favor you. Maybe you have been sent due to the change that will occur sometime about now in the future?"

"You mean the opening of the book of Clow?" I asked.

Yelan smiled, "So, that's what's going to happen, I presume you have some knowledge of my family ancestry?"

"Yes, we are part of the Li clan, which is the most powerful clan in China. I'm...urm Syaoran is a direct descendant of Clow Reed. One of the most powerful magicians that ever lived, maybe even the most powerful magician." I said all knowingly.

Yelan placed her hand on my shoulder and bent down to my level, "You don't need to worry about me being your enemy. As far as I am concerned you are now my son and I shall do all in my power to help you. If there is anything you need, depending on what it is I will try and help you."

I nodded,"Thank you, urm...how about these elemental spell thingies then?"

Yelan laughed, "I shall teach you magic then, you'll probably already know how to do it though, it's all locked away in here." She said, tapping my forehead.

My stomach growled and I blushed.

"Come. Lets eat!" said Yelan holding out her hand towards me.

I sighed in relief, 'This is going to be one heck of an adventure...'

AN: *states the obvious* This is part of the bending the rules timeline, from the POV of Syaoran. If you don't know what I mean then go read Tam or L-chan's versions of what happens.

*crowd cheers*

Thank you! Thank you! *bows*

Thanks to both L-chan and Tam for helping me, and Tam also gets the award for proof reading this fic (even though she doesn't know it yet...) (ed.: I do now! Bwahahahaha!)
