Summary: Sakura is your average, high school student. Syaoran is on the run for a crime he didn't commit. What happens when Syaoran transfers to Sakura's school and she gets involved?
Notes: Before we begin this next chapter, I would like to clarify some things. THERE IS NO SARS CRISIS IN MY STORY! For those who were wondering. And I don't know the currency in Hong Kong or how it might relate to American or Canadian, so whatever! If you really want proper figures, get me the info.
Oh a few other things I must mention: Kero is a hamster in my story, Suppy is a cat, Nakuru is Eroil's cousin, S+S have never met, and all other relationships are the same. Reminder to all that there is NO MAGIC! Therefore, Eroil is not a half reincarnation of Clow.

I Just Can't Live Without You - Chapter 2
"Hey Tomoyo!" Sakura's cheerful voice drew the attention of a raven- haired girl that was sitting at a desk looking out a window. Her amethyst eyes also shone with happiness. Sakura took the seat beside Tomoyo Daidouji, her best friend and cousin. They were in the second row from the back of their classroom, side-by-side and next to the window.
"Hey Sakura! Did you hear? There's a new student coming today." Tomoyo whispered to her cousin. Sakura rearranged her school skirt in a more comfortable position. She was feeling very edgy today.
"Really?" Sakura sounded very surprised. Then she remembered what important issue she had to speak to Tomoyo about. The bell rang before Sakura could explain anything to Tomoyo. "Tomoyo, I need to talk to you at lunch. It's urgent ok?" Sakura whispered as the teacher walked in.
"Good morning class." Ms. Yoshimatsu greeted her pupils politely. She was fairly tall and orderly, but one of the most reasonable teachers in Tomoeda High. Her neatly cropped shoulder length brown hair matched her long skirt perfectly and highlighted her personality.
She opened her planning book to see what was going on today. "It's seems we have a new student today. Mr. Li, you may come in now." The door of the classroom opened. A boy with messy chocolate brown hair walked in the door. He had a stern look on his face and his amber eyes burned with energy. He was good-looking compared to other teens. All of the girls were drooling except for Tomoyo and Sakura. Sakura was blushing a bit while trying not to stare at Syaoran's perfect features.
"Syaoran Li has been transferred from Hong Kong. Please do your best to help him out today. Syaoran you may sit behind Sakura." Ms. Yoshimatsu pointed to the empty desk behind Sakura. Sakura was incredibly nervous. Sure Syaoran was good-looking, but he didn't seem like a very sincere person. Tomoyo smiled at her cousin who was looking around the room nervously. Syaoran calmly took his seat behind Sakura.
'Hooeee . . . this is going to be a long day,' Sakura thought as she attempted to ignore Syaoran staring at the back of her head.

Tomoyo and Sakura sat under a cherry blossom tree and ate lunch. Syaoran hadn't said one word to Sakura and she was very thankful. She needed her courage to speak to Tomoyo about her dream without sounding crazy. Then again, Tomoyo wasn't your average adolescent.
"Tomoyo, I had a dream last night," Sakura began slowly, and cautiously, making sure no one could hear them.
"A dream? Is that all? I thought you had a real issue, like you finally found a boyfriend." Tomoyo smiled at Sakura, who wasn't amused by her comment.
This wasn't your ordinary dream Tomoyo. It's a reoccurring one." Sakura explained, making sure Tomoyo understood. "For the past little while I've been waking up at different times during the night, heavily perspiring and out of breath. I think something from my dream will affect my real life. I don't know what to do, Tomoyo, I'm worried."
Tomoyo crossed her arms and pondered for a little while. Sakura wasn't the kind of person that would have a sleeping problem.
'A reoccurring dream? That's something you don't hear about everyday. She's really upset though. What if something terrible happens to my best friend? I could never forgive myself.' Tomoyo watched Sakura looking around the school grounds. Sakura's hands were shaking in nervousness, and her face was pale from lack of sleep.
"Sakura, I want you to tell me every single detail in your dream. Don't leave anything out." Tomoyo ordered, for once sounding really worried. Sakura nodded slowly.
"I'm in a garden. There's a large cherry blossom tree in the middle. The air around me is warm and comforting and the skies filled with nothing but fluffy white clouds." Sakura explained, recalling the events of her dream. "Then a shadowed figure appears beneath the tree. Suddenly, I am pulled towards him. I hear the words 'I love you' whispered from the figure. He outstretches his arms as if to embrace me, but when I am almost close enough to touch him everything changes. The figure disappears and the tree becomes a rotten stump. The skies become dark and cloudy and the air is cold. Another figure appears a few feet away from me, holding a visible knife of some sort in his hands. He lunges at me with the knife, I scream, and right before the knife hits me the figure disappears. The last notable thing is what a different voice whispers to me 'don't be so blind'. It sends a chilly sensation down my back every time I hear it."
Tomoyo sat in amazement. Sakura wasn't feeling as nervous as before, but she still looked pale and sickly. Tomoyo stood up and held out her hand to Sakura. Sakura looked at her smiling cousin and pulled herself off the ground using Tomoyo's hand.
"The first thing you need to do is rest. You can't help yourself if you're not at full strength." Tomoyo suggested to Sakura. "Let's go back inside." Sakura nodded in agreement.
Sakura was about to take her first step towards the door when she felt lightheaded and weak throughout her body. Tomoyo grabbed her cousin to support her but Sakura was to heavy for her to carry to the nurse's office. Sakura looked up with half closed eyes and smiled before fainting. The last thing she heard was Tomoyo's calls for help.
*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*- *-*-*
Syaoran Li sat alone in a tree. He wasn't expecting to be eating lunch with anyone since it was his first day. The less information people know about him the better.
He remembered the events that had happened earlier that day. In the class with that nervous girl with the auburn hair, was pretty boring since Syaoran had already learned a lot of the material covered in the course. He was amused though by the nervous girl. After he had shot her a glare, she had slumped in her seat in fear. He noticed that she did look rather sick.
That other girl beside the nervous one just gave Syaoran a kind, welcoming smile.
'Probably like every other person she meets.' Syaoran knew he could never make any friends here. His thoughts were rudely interrupted by the shouts of a girl. Syaoran jumped down from the tree and ran towards the sound. He couldn't sit back when someone needed assistance. He wasn't that cruel.
Syaoran rounded the corner only to see that the shouts were coming from the raven-haired girl from earlier. He saw the edgy girl from earlier in her arms. He ran over to investigate since no one else was around.
"What happened? Is your friend alright?" Tomoyo looked up. Syaoran Li was standing before her. Tomoyo was a bit shocked by his sincerity. Syaoran didn't seem the caring type, but she was desperate.
"Can you carry Sakura to the nurse's office? I'll lead you there." Tomoyo asked, Syaoran nodded to her. Syaoran lifted Sakura up and Tomoyo smiled.
"By the way, my name's Tomoyo. You don't know how much we both appreciate your help." Tomoyo led Syaoran to the nurse's office.

Tim woke up at noon. What could he possibly do today anyway? He barely managed to find a place to stay. He sat up and rubbed his eyes. He dressed himself, and took out the large suitcase from beneath the bed. How much did he manage to steal anyway?
'100,000 . . . 500,000' Tim counted mentally to himself. He had managed to snag almost 10 million from that one bank alone! 'Hey, maybe I'll go for a little walk and buy a few things.'
Tim grabbed his credit card and walked to the ATM in the front entrance of the hotel. He looked at the screen and realized that he didn't understand any of the symbols. He had managed to insert his card by noticing the image underneath a slot. Then he looked down at the keys in front of him. He looked around for any tourists that may be able to help him but saw none. 'Shit, now what am I supposed to do?' Tim was beginning to get very frustrated. 'Why oh why did I have to take this job? It's almost not worth it, especially if I get caught!'
*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*- *-*-*
Tomoyo sat at Sakura's side. Sakura was burning up, and was breathing very heavily. Syaoran had left to go to classes. Tomoyo was very worried. She had a million things going through her head. Tomoyo's first priority was to find out more about this Syaoran Li.
'He acts very strangely. One minute he'll kill you just from looking at him, the next he's a very polite and caring person. I hope Sakura's all right, she hasn't been herself lately. I wish she could be cheerful and full of life again. That dream has her really spooked.' Tomoyo saw Sakura roll over in pain before slowly opening her eyes.
"Tomoyo, what happened?" Sakura instinctively knew her cousin was watching her every move. "How did I get here? We both know you can't carry me yourself."
Tomoyo grinned knowing that Sakura would be shocked if she knew. Sakura was about to sit up when Tomoyo pushed Sakura back down on the mattress.
"Sakura, your brother said he would come pick you up after school. I have to go to class but you better stay here and rest." Tomoyo informed Sakura. "You had better stay home for the next few days until you feel well."
"But Tomoyo!" Sakura began.
"No, I don't want your condition to grow worse." Tomoyo walked out of the nurse's office.
'But Tomoyo, I was feeling fine this morning! What is wrong with me?'
*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*- *-*-*
Tomoyo came to check on Sakura after the final bell. Sakura was sitting up, although she still had a high fever. Sakura was in pain from a large headache. Tomoyo sat on the mattress beside her best friend and patted her back in comfort.
"Tomoyo, I want to know who helped you bring me here? Sakura asked. Tomoyo was a bit surprised at Sakura's question.
"Oh, I'm sure you wouldn't want to know." Tomoyo glanced up at the open door to the hallway, watching students walk through the hallways. Sakura watched Tomoyo's eyes to see what she was looking at.
"What? Who?" Sakura turned to look out the door. Sakura choked when she saw what she thought was impossible. In the doorway, stood a sincere- looking Syaoran Li!
"What? He brought me here?" Sakura yelled at Tomoyo pointing directly at Syaoran. Tomoyo nodded with an amused grin on her face. Even if Sakura was sick, how could Tomoyo pass up an opportunity to embarrass her best friend? Especially when Tomoyo had her video camera handy . . .
^_^ Oh how I love making Tomoyo so evil! Sorry people, it will take me a LONG time to update until the summer. I've been putting off too much work lately. But after June there will be fast updates!
