Quote of the Chappie: The greatest way to live with honor in this world is to be what we pretend to be ~Socrates


Thankies List: Jared-It's okay. I accept you apology! Gomen if I made you a little upset, but really it was meant for someone else, demo, it's fine! And did ya know you're catching on quickly, almost bursting my bubble. Syaoran will be discovered somehow....just wait! Kita-They will get together somehow, it's just that I keep changing my plans since I get new ideas at school, and I'm still deciding! Kawaii-sakurasyaoran-Thankies, and I'm still trying to tie in the abuse, but you'll see, it'll be good! (I hope...-_-U) Lord Cirenmas-Thankies a lot! Sakura-san-I'm so glad you liked the new look! It took me awhile to come up with it, plus I was looking for an unique color that's rarely used in fanfics, and then 'Teal' came to me, so yep, that's Syaoran, or Lucian! Sakurakawaiicherry-Okay! Will do! Thankies! ^_^ Next chapter!

Chapter 6: Settle Down Pt. 2


"blah"-talking

"blah"-thinking

****************************

Syaoran awoke from the seat, peering around. We've landed already? That seemed fast. He gathered his items from the above storage compartments, and left to get off the plane. Traveling through crowded areas, he finally makes it to the exit, and out of the Tomoeda International Airport. Calling a cab over, he tells them to drive to his new apartment. Reaching it after glancing at the small changes in Japan, he pays, and walks over with all his luggage.


Evaluating his apartment, he pulls out his key, and opens the door. I'm so glad Wei got this apartment, It's so cozy, just like my old one.... Syaoran was renting a smaller and more convenient apartment than his last one. The last thing he needed was for his mother to find him at his old home, and take him back. Plus, this might throw her off track. She probably wouldn't expect him to be renting a smaller place, since he was used to such luxury and all. So far, so good.


This cozy temporary place was only blocks from the local high school he would be registering at tomorrow. Syaoran walked and examined his new bedroom. Not bad, not bad at all. It was a one room with a queen sized bed. The walls were a pasty yellow, but decorated with green vines. He glanced at bed. It was covered with a rich green covering. No doubt Wei did this before I got here.... It had a mediocre-sized dresser, and desk made of rich oak and cherry wood. On top was a nice loud alarm clock. The closet was cleared and ready for clothing to be placed in it. He had a nice lamp on the dresser and a plush, smooth ebony carpet. Putting his luggage down, he went to check out the other parts. Let's see what else is here....


He had a clean bathroom, with a shower/bath stall, a toilet and a small sink. In the kitchen, he had all the necessities, and the tile was a pale blue. The sink was spotless, and the cabinets held many glass plates and silverware to use to eat. Even the fridge was stacked with food along with the other cabinets. It held a round table for dining. The living room had a cozy couch, much like his favorite one at home. No doubt that Wei moved that here too.... It still had the comfortable black carpet. It had a 32" television, and a long narrow table that held another lamp and the telephone. The white walls held some pictures of art and a chinese sword that looked familiar. On the side held a book case, already containing books from China, his favorites. For the door, you can see the lawn in the sparkling glass window. He did live on the 5th and top floor where he can still jump safely to ground in case of an emergency. Everything looks decent enough,and I can live here for a while. It has a warm, surrounding aura of a comely home. Thank you Wei, again....


Noticing the clock on the table in the living room, it was a good two hours past now. It was 08:00, and he wanted a good night's sleep before he goes to school tomorrow. Putting what little clothing away, placing a reminder to buy more, and placing his pictures on the bedside. He went to get ready for bed.


Wearing cotton blue pajamas, he washed up, and made sure his appearance was still there. Good, it's still there, don't want any accidents to happen.... He climbed into bed, and set the alarm. Pulling out the drawer in the dresser, he opened his journal to a new page.


16 August 2002


I've finally escaped that place. FINALLY! I'm so happy at the moment. I would describe my apartment and appearance, but I can't, and you know it. If this gets in the wrong hands, and you know it can, then anything will be a lead for them. I'll give you a hint. I'm very 'teal and fatherlike' I hope this is for the best. School has already started, and I have to register tomorrow. I cannot sign my name anymore than this, so I shall put my real name. If anyone outside family finds it, I can tell them that's my middle name. If my mother finds this, she will know it is mine, but not my alias. I hope all goes well. I never want to return from here. This is my home away from home.


I think I am finished for tonight. I will try to leave out IMPORTANT names, like the schools and all, and family as what I can, but I still hope this never leaves my possession. The last thing I need is for everyone to find out WHO I AM. Especially any magical people. Wish me luck. I'll try to keep you updated with as much allowed facts as possible! ^_^


Just so you know, this journal is in English. After all, I AM from America, and I can't have the others see it in other languages. But today, it's in japanese, as for the rest I will write.


Until later, Yours Truly,

Xiaolang

******************************

Sorrie for such the small chapter! It was mainly a filler for next weeks. That's where all the action starts, and Syaoran meets others. I have plans, too! Hey ya'll, next chapter will be a start in school! Um, should I put Lucian or Syaoran when writing, 'cause I don't want to confuse you....Tell me soon, K? Otherwise, I'll try to update soon! R&R, or no chapters will come out, and yes I am that cruel to do that!!!! ^_________^
