Chapter II: When I Met You
A Cup of Coffee
By Nanashi

Morning is usually a great time for everyone. People all get up from their beds, stare in the mirror, prepare a cup of coffee and a quick breakfast before they proceed to their usual routines of their so-called life.

Well, that is not true for Li Syaoran considering the fact that he had the exact reverse schedule. He lived on the verge of the night, making his presence known in front of people having sweet dreams and security guards on duty. And what was his occupation? Well, call it thief of burglar or whatever you call someone who takes away something from someone without that someone's consent. And that would be Li Syaoran's night job.
Syaoran and his brother, Eriol, were walking on the sidewalk welcoming the sun which showered the city with light. Shadows slowly crept away from the bright, intense sunlight while the tall buildings reflected the light off their glasses. It was the first morning for Syaoran. Although he knew what morning was but he had no true experience with morning. He usually spent spend this part of his life sleeping in his chamber under the umbrella of what he called family within the care of his fellow thieves.

"Syaoran, what's wrong?" asked the worried so-called brother of Syaoran.

Syaoran didn't respond and continued his walk observing the scenery along the way.

"Umm...oh yes! How very unobservant of me! It's your first time to actually *see* the sun and actually awake before dawn, am I right?" Eriol whispered quietly to Syaoran while wearing a cocky smile on his face. He then lifted up his wrist to look at the time, "My, my, look, it's 7 A.M. of the 28th of March! Maybe we should commemorate this day annually."

Syaoran rolled his eyes and looked to the other side of the street pretending he never heard Eriol uttered a single word.

Although Eriol often mocked Syaoran and vice verse, Eriol was actually a very good brother to Syaoran although they were not real brothers by blood but they became close brothers due to the environment where they were raised. But in a kind of environment they lived in the Guild. In the Guild, all the thieves called each others brothers and sisters in spite of a good calling to each other , but they were all rivals in every mission given to them, each in his or her own accord. Well, unlike the other so-called brothers in the Guild, Eriol and Syaoran treat each other in a sense of true brotherhood.

'I think we should celebrate your first morning, with a cup of coffee," Eriol patted Syaoran's shoulder and he pointed his index finger to a coffee shop across the street. The two brothers entered the said establishment and found a seat near the glass window of the shop as a waitress approached their seats.

"Konnichiwa,so what shall we have in this very good morning?" The waitress happily said to the two newly seated customers.

"Well what is your specialty here?" Eriol asked the waitress.

"Well our cappuccino is the favorite of all the patrons here," the waitress tapped her pencil on her small ordering booklet.

Eriol looked at Syaoran and as he was about to open his mouth to ask his brother what would he like to have, he suddenly stopped his tongue realizing that Syaoran was not the right mood and instead faced the waitress and ordered two cups of cappuccino for the two of them.

Meanwhile...

"I'm late!!!" Sakura cried as she skated her way to her school. "Oh please don't let the principal caught me this time!" Sakura picked up her phase as she raced against the bell.

PING! PONG! The clock tower's bells rung as a hint that the class was about to start. Sakura was running like a runner in 100 meter dash into the entrance of the school. "Whew, I made it!" Sakura exclaimed as she jumped into the hallway of a Catholic school and made a triumphant pose.

Then suddenly, a hand tapped Sakura's shoulder from behind.

"AIIEE!" Sakura shrieked as she quickly spun around and confront with who might be.

It was a nun, or to be exact, the principal of the school. "Kinomoto-san, please tone down your voice," The nun reminded Sakura softly and gently.

"Gomen-nasai, Sister Teresa" Sakura apologized for her deviant behavior. "Sister Teresa you will not make me pray the rosary in the chapel for being late this time, please..." Sakura whimpered and pleaded the principal to excuse her from the punishment of her tardiness. Sister Teresa smiled innocently at Sakura, but..not well to Sakura, that kind of smile was sinister for her.

"Well, actually not, You did made it in time this time." Sakura sighed, relieved that she would not have aching knees for praying again. "But you did act ungirly-like awhile ago, so you're not yet off the hook," Sister Teresa beamingly told Sakura.

Sakura's face went from the sudden relief a minute ago back to whimpering again, "Demo...demo.. Sister Teresa..."

"Kinomoto-san, don't worry. You will not be punish this time." Sakura sighed comfortably. But I have a favor to ask of you," the nun added.

"What is it, Sister Teresa?" Sakura asked.

Meanwhile...

"What!?What do you mean attending school?" Syaoran stood up after hearing the details of their mission.

"Oh, I see that you can speak now - it seems like you are now capable to adapt morning now," Eriol looked upon his brother who was about to eat him alive. "I already have enrolled the two of us in this school, to be exact, A private Catholic school.

"But how are you able to enroll us quickly? It was only yesterday that..." Syaoran asked.

"That we got this mission," Eriol continued. "You know, brother, in this time, technology is faster. Okay to fill you up with the details, I hacked the school's system and able to add us in the list of candidates enrolled in that prestigious school"

Syaoran sat back to his seat and drank his cappuccino. "So when will we attend classes?" Syaoran asked his brother.

"Well, today to be exact" Eriol pulled out his glasses and reached for a piece of cloth in his pocket.

"So how shall we proceed?" asked again by the soon-to-be student, Syaoran.

"Well, you have to remember few things so our cover will not be ruined," Eriol cleansed his glasses with the piece of cloth. "First thing, we're not brothers in the school, we are entirely strangers. Well of course, it doesn't mean we can't pretend to be friends. Our names will be as they are, so we will have no worries about what we will call ourselves in there and.."

"And?" Syaoran listened carefully for the mission briefing which was unusual from the past mission he had done.

Eriol lifted his glasses up to see if there were any other smudges on them, "And... I'll tell you the rest in our dormitory."

"Dormitory?" Syaoran puzzled.
