A Matter Of Blood By Willie-chan
Chapter I Arrivals and encounters
I remembered the day you went back to Hong Kong: That was probably the hardest day of my life. The days after that one were the saddest days of my life. I was trying not to forget you, because, even if it hurt: It was better to hate you, than not feeling anything for you. But I just couldn't hate you, so I had to keep handling the pain of your leaving.
I never knew that you actually loved me.
Until you told me. And though, it was kinda late. Silly me, I couldn't realize it before.
Anyway, today, it's been 6 years since you left and I keep wondering why? I keep wondering why did you have to return to your mother's side? It's true that she gave you birth, and because of her you're alive, and that you owe her almost everything in your life. But yet if you think it this way, you should have stayed with me. Yes, she gave you life, and I gave you a reason for living; she fed your body, and I fed your heart; next to her you were secure, and next to me you were happy; you admired her, but you... loved me. How can anyone compare those feelings!
But there's still a whisper of faith, because, if you went back to her, then you will come back to me
And with those very words, Sakura closed her diary. It was supposed to be a letter for Syaoran, but she was to afraid of his reaction, so she decided to leave her feelings in a sheet of paper attached to her diary.
"If I could just see you again" she thought "I would love to tell you how I feel, because, I never told you how I really felt 'bout you... and I'm sorry I didn't.
And she went to sleep. She was too tired to go on.

"Ahh!!" Sakura yelled "I'm late again. Oniichan. Matte" "Mou" Touya said in an arid tone "Kaiju's always late" "I'm not kaiju" "However." "OK, this is where I leave" she said "Iitterasshai, oniichan."

"Ohayo Gozaimasu, Sakura-chan" Tomoyo said in her usual happy tone. There was something about the way she said Good morning that could brighten up the saddest man in the world's day. "Ohayo Gozaimasu, Tomoyo-chan" Sakura replied "Let's get in" the blue eyed girl suggested in a hurry "Terada-Sensei is already inside the classroom" "Today - Terada started in a casual tone" I am happy to be introducing you a new student, even if most of you already know him. I know you will be happy to see him again. Well, everybody welcome Li Syaoran." "Syaoran?!!" Sakura cried "Sugoi!! He's back, as he promised. Wai!!" "Subarashii desu wa" Tomoyo said "I'm sure you must be really happy, Sakura- chan, and, as long as you are happy, then, I'll be happy too." "What do you mean Tomoyo-chan?" "It doesn't matter, as long as you're happy because of Syaoran's arrival." "Hai, I'm really happy!!" "Ano... Matte" Terada said lifting his right hand to cup his chin "Oh! You'll sit behind Kinomoto. Next to Hiiragisawa. "Hai, Sensei" Syaoran answered, as he couldn't help putting his eyes on Sakura's. until he reacted. "Hiiragisawa??!!! What the hell is he doing here??!!" he thought
He walked trough the hallway until he reached Sakura. He saw her. Her green eyes were shining like two sparkling emeralds in the middle of a dark night. She was full of hope and happiness.
"Remember?" she said "Just like six years ago." "Hoe" It had been HIM who had said THAT this time. "Daijobu desu ka?" she asked concerned. "Hai Daijobu desu" he answered "I'm really happy to be here" "Well" she spoke almost in silence "so am I. I'm very, very happy that you're here" and she blushed furiously as a gorgeous smile appeared on her face.
He was taller than she remembered, the Tomoeda High uniform looked better on him than on anybody else, and yet his look was as deep as before.
"Good to see you again" a familiar voice said "I knew you would return my call" "Hiiragisawa..." he said, as he couldn't help giving him an annoying look "You came back" Eriol continued "as I can see. May I ask why?" "I have some business to take care of" he answered nervously "back here in Japan" "Sou desu Ka?" Eriol said in a biting tone "I thought it was because something else..." "Anyway" Syaoran said "what the HELL is Hiiragisawa doing here?" "Oh, sorry" Sakura replied embarrassed "I thought I had told you. He came back a couple of months ago." "But..." Syaoran hesitated "why?" "As you said Li" Eriol answered "I had some business to take care of, back here in Japan." "Well, what kind of business?" "I bet you know them pretty well" he said sarcastically "the Li kind of business. "I don't understand..." "Don't worry, Li Syaoran" he answered "when the time comes, you will."
Other voices came into the conversation, they were full of joy. The three former speakers didn't complain, but they had surely wanted to finish their previous conversation, and now that the others had arrived they wouldn't be able to do so.
"Hi Li" Rika said "how was Hong Kong?" "Did you see anything paranormal during your fly?" Naoko added "Did you know that in the eighteenth century, when somebody came back from a very long trip, people used to give him two living chickens, which symbolized their happiness because of their return and they also used to..." "Stop it Yamazaki!" Chiharu ordered "you and your lies again!! Just because we weren't aware of Li-kun's arrival, it doesn't mean that you have to invent such things!!" "Why don't we all discuss this while eating an ice cream after school, how about 4 PM?" a sweet, calmed voice said. "Great idea Tomoyo!!" Sakura said "you always know how to handle situations." "And I will bring my camera so I won't lose a detail of Li's arrival. Please Sakura, let me design the outfit you'll be wearing after school." "Okay Tomoyo" Sakura said with a nervous voice. She was kind of ashamed of wearing all those weird costumes Tomoyo used to make. "I promise it'll be a nice one this time." "Don't worry Sakura" Syaoran whispered "you'll look good anyway. Sakura smiled and blushed." "Arigato" she said almost in silence and still blushing "Kind as always. You haven't changed a bit, Syaoran-kun." "On that I can agree" Eriol said "you have not changed at all."
End of chapter 1
Author's notes: I know it doesn't seem that interesting at first sight, but trust me, things will get better and better. Li's and Eriol's arrivals are not just a nice coincidence. As the old saying prays: Be careful with what you wish, and now Sakura will have to face the consequences. Love it? Hate it? Let me know!
