Author's notes: Greetings from Psychic720! Thank you very much for continuing my fan fiction! Now that I'm getting a little more excited about the fic. I'm beginning to know what I'm doing, I think. Oh yeah I added a prologue this late in the fic, but it might clear up some misunderstandings in my fic at this point. I screwed up a lot on it so it's not anywhere close to perfect and I didn't look at it thoroughly due o the time factor. Anyways, let's go!

CAUTION: THIS FIC HAS MANY FLASHBACKS AS WELL AS SLIGHT SUMARIES. IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO HEAR VARIOUS PARTS YOU HAVEN'T WATCHED, I'D ADVISE YOU TO COME BACK AGAIN LATER.

Um yeah, I thought about using "Syaoran" as Li's standard name (since Sakura calls him that way by the end of the anime), but Je n'ai pas aimé (I didn't like it-French) so I decided to stay with "Li." Probably because it's easier to say in English.

Japanese word notes:

(General words)

Jya/ Jya ne- See ya (informal)

Daijobu desu ka? /Daijobu - Are you all right?

Hoee-Sakura's word under surprise or distress.

Ok so that's done, let's go.

Li Syaoran's Story

Chapter 4

Sonomi grabbed Rikou and placed him next to Tomoyo. She stared through the two sets of eyes. "I…it is you!" Sonomi said with excitement. "My son!"

"Nani?" Rikou eyes bulged. If Sonomi wasn't a CEO as well as an adult, Rikou would've marked her as insane and dashed out of the house. "What are you talking about?" The boy backed a few steps. "This is the first time I've ever met you!"

Sonomi looked through the boy's eyes, she lightly fingered the contact in the boy's eye. She slowly took it out carefully. "You have a blue and brown eye just like when you were born, demo…" she looked through the blue eye closer, "but your blue eye is darker than then. Where were you born?"

Rikou popped in the contact, "The United States."

"No! I know that!" Sonomi exclaimed. "What City?"

"Cambridge, Massachusetts."

                Tomoyo thought for awhile, "You were born on September 3? That's the same as me!"

                "NO Way!" Rikou exclaimed astonishingly. "You've got to be kidding! Nothing's that coincidental!"

                "Because it is not coincidental! You said that you were from America, born on September 3, son of Dr. John Yoshi Daidouji. Your name is Rikou Daidouji, you are him!" Tomoyo's mother exclaimed. She grabbed the boy once more. "You two are identical besides, except for your height and unique eye coloring of course."

                "I still don't understand. Gomen Nasai, Mrs. Daidouji," Rikou said struggling from the grasp lightly. He finally escaped the grasp.

                The three settled down on a couch. "This story starts twenty years ago," Sonomi said. "I was getting a business degree at Harvard University, when I met your father, who was in medical school."

                "Really?" Rikou asked. The boy thought a little more. "Dad did graduate from Harvard… You knew my father?"

                "Of course I knew him, I said I was your mother didn't I?" Sonomi replied. She continued her story. "It all started one day when I was walking on a road during the New Year. I was coming home from a New Year's party with some classmates. We had a huge car accident on the return home."

"Pleasant…" Rikou commented sarcastically rolling is eyeballs.

"Are you saying you don't believe me?" Sonomi asked.

                "Iie!" Rikou replied instantly. "Sumimasen."

                "I was sent in the hospital nearby." Sonomi continued, "Your father, a medical student, and another Doctor was performing an operation in the emergency room on me."

                "It seems like it went successfully," Rikou replied looking at the woman with slight disbelief.

                Sonomi didn't bother to remark. "After the Operation I had to stay in the hospital for continual medical aide. Your father was the usual doctor who checked me. Often, as he checked my health, he would tell me about himself, I first thought he was just a very social person. After sometime he realized that I was a Japanese Transfer Student studying in America. From then on he dropped the English, and started speaking in Japanese. A lot of times your father would take a look at me during his coffee breaks, he was really curious of how it was in Japan. I had to admit, after awhile, I got sort of attached to him. When I left the hospital, we would meet coincidentally meet a lot on the street, cafes and places like that. Soon, when I got a business degree, he got his Medical Doctorate. He eventually asked me to lunch, It sort of started from there. In the end, we married, and had twins, A boy and a girl…"

                Rikou and Tomoyo stared at each other.

                Sonomi continued, "Yes, Tomoyo, Rikou is truly your older twin brother, by about ten or so minutes."

                "(Eng) Holy Crap! Get outa town!" Rikou exclaimed practically to himself. Then he noticed that he was being looked at.

Sonomi smiled. "Don't you know that a mother would be able to identify her own children no matter what conditions?"

Rikou was still struck dumbfounded in a trance.

Tomoyo looked at her brother in deep thought. "Rikou-kun, Daijobu?"

Sonomi glanced over to her daughter. "Kun? You should begin to call him Rikou Oni-san!"

"So those pictures I found were of you in your twenties?" Rikou thought. A tear came from his eye. The boy began to mumble to himself. "And all this time, I thought my mom was no longer on the face of the earth."

Tomoyo head shot up at a sudden thought. "How did we get separated, Oga-san?

                "Your Father…" Sonomi started, but stopped noting the intensity of her son's stare. "That's a story for a different day."

                "So what happened after that event that you're not telling us?" Rikou asked.

                "We had a dispute of who got to keep you guys…" Sonomi continued. "Both of us wanted to keep both of you. However, in the end, the court did a compromise since both sides were able to support you guys. Your father got to keep Rikou, while I kept Tomoyo. Soon, I decided to return to Japan to reunite with my family. From that day, we lost contact with you… You two moved from Cambridge soon after awhile. No one knew where you went." Sonomi looked away sadly. "I still regret divorcing him, but…Never mind…"

"After an event in Cambridge we moved to New York, Well we were constantly on the move back in the states. We finally settled in Seattle… Dad never listed a destination address each time we moved so…" Rikou shrugged.

                Sonomi reached for her daughter and put her face to face with her newfound brother. "Tomoyo, this is your older twin brother, Rikou." Sonomi smiled. A beeper rang breaking the tension of the moment. Sonomi glanced at it with a heavy sigh. "Gomen, ne. I have to get back to work again." Sonomi looked at Rikou. "How long are you staying in Japan? You could stay with us."

                "Awhile, semester, maybe a year. And no thanks, Dad says he wants to see if I could manage my own household."

                Sonomi smiled. "Sounds exactly like him." Her beeper rang wildly again. "Ok, ok, Sayonara!" Sonomi left the room.

                Rikou and Tomoyo sat down for a confusing moment.

                Tomoyo was the first to break the silence. "Why do you think mom and dad broke up?"

                Rikou merely shrugged. "They felt like it. No way to know unless we read court papers."

                "Well if something's bothering you," Tomoyo started. "You can just tell me, we're directly related by blood, Oni-san!" the girl hugged her new brother.

                "Same with you!" Rikou smiled at his found sister. He patted her back. She's a sweet one, this little sister…

                The two sat down after awhile.

                "Actually I would rather not let Oga-san know that I'm her son…" Rikou sighed.

                "Nani?" Tomoyo looked at her brother awkwardly. "Why wouldn't you?"

                Rikou sighed again. "Personal reasons… Nothing big." Rikou then reached over for something in his pocket. He reached for a bottle of aspirin. He popped a few pills in to his mouth casually, as if he was doing nothing, but he looked concerned about something.

Tomoyo looked at her brother. "Oni-san, daijobu?"

Rikou shook his head and smiled after sometime. "Nothing, You're wondering about the aspirin?"

Tomoyo nodded. "Not many kids carry that medication like that often…"

Rikou just smiled again. "Don't worry about your brother, I just depend on these things now… shigata jya nai, ne?

"Why?" Tomoyo asked worriedly.

"Don't worry 'bout it, it's ok!" Rikou replied more hoarsely. "Sayonara Tomoyo-san!" The boy winked and gathered his stuff, and left the room.

(Kinomoto residence)

Sakura relaxed on her bed in complete silence. She smiled slightly to herself.

                "You doing something exciting or something tomorrow?" Kero asked as he shoved more food down his belly.

                "Yeah!" Sakura replied. "Tomorrow, we're going to go see a movie!"

                "With Tomoyo, and those two other kids, ne?" Kero asked.

                "Hai…" Sakura smiled as she looked at the creature. "It's always fun to go to the cinema with friends!"

                "Tomoyo I like," Kero agreed. "The two others I don't appreciate that much-"

                Sakura got out a bag of cookies that was labeled in English. "Rikou-kun said that these cookies were imported from the United States and he hasn't seem them in the stores. He says they're extremely sweet. He thought you might want them since you had a sweet tooth!"

                "Rikou-kun uses his psychic powers well!!!!!" Kero said as he grabbed for the bag. "I take it back, Tomoyo, and that Rikou kid I can mind, but I don't like the last!"

                "Syaoran-kun's not that bad…" Sakura said. "He's really nice if you get to know him."

                Kero didn't even bother answering, "These sugar filled cookies are so sweeeet! Tell that American kid thanks!"

                "(sweat drop) Kero-chan, you weren't listening at all…" Sakura mumbled. "You don't want to come, ne? You never did like the movies that much…"

                "There's no point to go to something I won't like…" Kero replied. But there is something I've got to see… So I'll just secretly come.

                "Sakura, has there been anything different lately?" Kero turned to ask.

                "No," Sakura replied. The girl reflected back. "Everything's the same except the fact that Rikou-kun's around a lot nowadays? That bad?"

                Kero forgot everything that he was thinking about. "If that Rikou kid gets more cookies, tell him to give me some morrrrre!!!! I ran out!!!"

                Sakura sighed, "Here just take my package."

(Later that night.)

                Sakura tossed on her bed. The girl plopped back on her bed trying to get at least a wink of sleep. After some time she jerked back up. "Something's feels familiar, like before"

                Kero was fast asleep. Without waking the creature, Sakura turned over and stepped out of her bed. She glanced out of the starry night. The girl opened the window and inhaled the cool, fresh, night air. She gazed outwards longingly through her window. Slowly, the girl's eyes closed.

                Sakura awakened in an entirely unidentifiable area. Could have been an entirely new dimension possibly, but there was no way the girl could know. The girl gazed around the surrounding area. All around her, Sakura could only see depths or darkness. The only form of light Sakura could see was from the triangular like hexagonal platform that she stood on. The platform illuminated with a mystic bluish light. The girl looked at the details of the platform. A Yin/Yang symbol appeared on the center of the platform, the Eight Hexagrams around its circumference. From there, three rings, each one of the primary colors (red, yellow, blue), stuck from the sides of the Eight Hexagrams as well as other golden designs, which connected onto the rings. The platform seemed to illuminate the entire dimension with a holy illumination.

                BOOM! Sakura could hear from a distance. The girl glanced up towards the direction of the explosion. Some distance from the girl, Sakura could see two boys in the distance.

                Syaoran-kun and Rikou-kun? Sakura thought. She started to walk towards the two. She continued doing so until she noticed what was really going on.

                Rikou's eyes burned with its typical psychic blue light, which usually appeared in the boy's eyes when he was performing his magic. However unlike usual, the tint flashed much brighter than usual, as if they had turned in to giant, blue light bulbs.  The boy rose his hands in to the air. An enormous, blue-white laser blasted from the boy's hands towards Li. Li immediately evaded the huge mass of light.

"S…STAY AWAY!" Rikou exclaimed.

                "Rikou!!!" Li exclaimed.

                "STAY AWAY!!!!!" Rikou blasted another laser towards the boy. "DIEEEEEE!!!!!"

                Li wasn't as quick as last time. The masses of light struck the boy hard.

                "SYAORAN-KUN!!!!!" Sakura screamed.

                "Syaoran-kun!" Sakura stirred awake from her trance. Sakura now stared out of her window. The girl inhaled the air deeply, she gasped hard for breath. The familiar feeling returned to the girl. "I know this feeling, it's… it's…" Sakura pounded the windowsill hard. The girl brightened up. "I'll think about it later!" Sakura returned to her bed and tried to get back to sleep. Sakura glanced to wear Kero was sleeping, who in turn hadn't moved from its former position. "I'll just tell Kero-chan and the others sometime later..."

                Sakura glanced outward through the starry night. A slight shiver ran down her spine thinking of her recent dream.

(The next morning.)

                Sakura got out of her bed. The girl stretched her muscles hard. She relaxed after the stretch. Her cell phone rang. She quickly picked it up.

                "H…hello?" she asked.

                "Konnichiwa, Sakura-chan!" The voice greeted.

                "Tomoyo-chan! What is it?" Sakura asked.

                "Oh about today, our trip to the cinema? I can't come cough, cough I sort of got sick…"

                "You did? Daijobu?" Sakura asked.

                "cough, cough I'm fine…" Sakura heard through the phone.

                "You're sure? I'll come and visit you—" Sakura said.

                "NO!" Tomoyo exclaimed through the phone.

                "Hoe?" Sakura asked.

                "COUGH, COUGH, COUGH, COUGH! I'm ok, really, I don't want you to get sick too heh, heh, just have a good time with Li-kun, ne?" Tomoyo said.

                "Tomoyo-chan?" Sakura asked.

                "COUGH, COUGH, COUGH, COUGH! I have to COUGH, COUGH take some medicine… Jya ne!"

                "Tomoyo!" Sakura called. The girl couldn't hear anything else except for the light buzz, which had taken over the phone. She placed the phone down. "That's not like Tomoyo-chan at all…"

                "Nani, nani?" Kero stepped out of his drawer. "Is Tomoyo here?"

                Sakura shook her head. "Tomoyo said that she won't be coming to the cinema with us…"

                Kero's eyes bulged open. "That means that, NO FOOD!"

                "Nani? I thought you weren't coming." Sakura asked.

                Kero looked away innocently.

                "You were going to sneak in weren't you?" Sakura glared at the creature.

                Kero looked at the girl innocently. "Don't put things so crudely, I was going to 'tag along' and maybe grab a snack or two."

                Sakura looked at the stuffed animal dryly, "You could eat at any time…"

                "I want to eat all the time!" Kero grinned grabbing a small sweet lying on Sakura's desk in the room.

                "Hai…" Sakura said in defeat. The small phone rang again. "Moshi Moshi?"

                 "Sakura? Oh, hey? Yo, It's Rikou! Can't come today, Hannah said that she needed some groceries and needs me to do these other things, so I can't make the cinema thing today."

                "Ok… Tomoyo-chan just called and said that she was sick, and that she couldn't come either."

                "Bummer, I guess you should wait for the next call…" Rikou said.

                "Nani?" Sakura asked confused over the line.

                "Nothing, Jya ne!" Rikou said, he hung up.

(Li residence)

                Ring, ring Li quickly picked the phone. "Hai, Li residence."

                "Li-kun?" Sakura's voice came over the line.

                "Sakura?" Li tensed up. "What is it?"

                "Rikou-kun and Tomoyo-chan said that they couldn't come to the cinema today, I was wondering if you were still coming with me…"

                "Nani!?!" Li gaped at the phone.

                "I was WONDERING if YOU were still GOING with ME!" the voice said.

                "H…hai…" Li stammered.

                "Good, jyaaaaaaa!" The line disconnected from the boy who in turn stood looking at the phone for several minutes. Li then smiled slightly to himself.

                Sakura picked up the phone annoyingly. "A third call!" She picked up the phone. "Hai, Kinomoto residence?"

                "Sakura?" the voice called through the phone.

                "Syaoran-kun?" Sakura asked, surprised. "Why'd you call?"

                "Well…" The voice shuddered. "I heard from Rikou-kun and Daidouji-san that they weren't coming and… and I was wondering if you could still go with me…"

                "Sure!" Sakura chimed. "Same time?"

                "Yeah…" The voice answered.

                "Ok meet you then, Jya ne!" Sakura hung up.

                "(Li's voice) water!" Rikou exclaimed. He immediately gulped down some water gratefully. "Voice changing involves too much annoying irritations to the vocal chords!"

                The boy's bedroom door burst open, Meiling glared at him grumpily.

                "(Li's voice) Uh, Meiling, what's up?" Rikou asked awkwardly. "Ahem! (Meiling's voice) Anything ERHEM! (typical voice) Anything wrong or something, heh heh?"

                Meiling's eyes bulged. "You're trying to set Syaoran and Kinomoto-san up!?!"

                Rikou smiled calmly. "Hai, is there anything wrong with that?"

                "Why can't you use ventriloquism to do something else!?!" Meiling screamed.

                "Cause there isn't anything else to use it with!" Rikou exclaimed, backing away from the girl noticing the death glare look in the girl's eyes.

                Meiling pounced onto Rikou. The two fell splat on the bed. Meiling grabbed the boy's neck. "ERRRRRRR!" she screamed.

                "Lightly! Lightly!" Rikou exclaimed as his voice becoming fainter by the second. "Lightly! I won't be able to breathe!"

                "That's the point!" Meiling screamed.

                Hannah poked her head through the door. "Jesus Christ! Don't tell me you two are that far already!"

                "NANI!"

                "(Eng) WHAT!"

(In front of the cinema)

Tomoyo stood in front of the cinema, waiting for Sakura and Syaoran, as decided in the former plan with Rikou. Unfortunately, Rikou's sudden change in his ideas had not come to the girl.

                Tomoyo checked her watch. "Rikou-san isn't here. And he's really punctual, that's odd."

                Sakura ran up to her friend. "Tomoyo-chan!"

                "Konnichiwa, Sakura-chan," Tomoyo said. "Li-kun is probably coming soon and—What's wrong?"

                Sakura looked at her friend strangely. "I thought that you said that you weren't coming."

                Tomoyo looked at her friend confusingly. "Nani?"

                "You called and said that you were sick!" Sakura said.

                "I don't remember doing something like that." Tomoyo said.

                "Hoe?" Sakura looked at her friend awkwardly.

                Li could be seen reluctantly making his steps towards the two other girls. "K…Konnichiwa,"

                "Konnichiwa, Syaoran-kun," Sakura greeted.

                "Daidouji-san, I thought you weren't coming?" Li said.

                "I guess we all have that misunderstanding!" Tomoyo smiled.

                Sakura glanced at her watch. "It's almost time, and it seems as if Rikou-kun isn't here, so I guess we should just go in."

                "I'm going to wait for Rikou-san," Tomoyo said. "You two go ahead before me."

                Sakura went in to the theatre with Syaoran. Tomoyo smiled after them, but soon pulled out her cell phone.

                Sakura and Li looked for a seat in the theatre. The two settled, onto a row of empty seats. Sakura sat confortably onto a chair. Li sat next to her, reluctantly. Li took a handful of popcorn and stuffed it in his mouth to clear his head.

                Li thought at the phone call he received this morning. "I thought Daidouji-san called and said that she wasn't coming? You even called saying that she wasn't coming, ne?"

                "That's what she told me…" Sakura said. "This doesn't really make sense, ne? Rikou-kun, said something like that too… Matte!" Sakura's mind jolted. "I didn't call you, Syaoran-kun!"

                "You didn't call?" Syaoran asked in shock.

                "Iié (Iye)!" Sakura shook her head. "I don't remember calling you at all!"

                "You didn't?" the boy thought for awhile. Li shot up. "RIKOU!"

                "Nani, Syaoran-kun?" Sakura asked.

                Li slowly sat back on to his seat. "This is Rikou-kun's doing alright…"

                "Hoe? How do you know?" Sakura asked with interest.

                "Rikou has psychic abilities, ne?" Li asked.

                "Hai…" Sakura replied.

                "If he could shape his vocal chords correctly, he could change his apparent voice, right!?!" Li said. "He has telekinesis, so he could easily change his vocal chord shape!"

                "You mean, he planned this out?" Sakura asked confused. "Why would he want to do that?"

                "He wanted to help me…" Li mumbled.

                "How would this help you?" Sakura asked still with the confused expression on his face.

                Li flinched. "Eygh!!!" He soon stiffened tightly, but soon turned and stared at her for a long time. "Sakura, although three years have passed… Watashi wa…"

                "What?" the girl looked back at Li pleasantly.

                Turning bright red, the boy started again, which probably was noticeable despite it being dark. "I… I still… I STILL—!"
