Years flew by as quickly as the leaves in the fall. 16 years passed peacefully in the small village. Zenko had a hard time to keep the young Sakura from meeting the prince. It wasn't time yet. Through the years Zenko and Hoshi had lost touch. But on the night of the 16th year, the both headed to the park where they used to meet, and happened to inhabit the same lily flower.

"Zenko!" Hoshi said, standing up from her spot on the silky petal. "What are you doing here? Is something wrong?"

Zenko walked across the flower to sit on Hoshi's petal. He sighed. "Sister, it's been 16 years. We've been able to keep them separate for this long. Even while Sakura was capturing the Clow Cards I could keep her away from him. But.."

"What is it my brother?" Hoshi asked, placing a hand on his shoulder.

"I get the feeling that something will happen. Something that's going to bring them together sooner than they need to meet. Too soon."

"You felt it too then." Hoshi looked up to the star filled sky.

"Too? You mean.."

"Ever since the first night, I've had a feeling that someone was watching, waiting." There was a sudden rustle in the bush behind them.

Zenko stood up, and turned towards the bush. "Who's there?" he demanded.

Two forms alike themselves appeared, and bowed before the twins. "I'm sorry sir, we couldn't help but over hear your dilemma." The red male said.

"Who are you?" Zenko asked, not so politely.

The two before him dropped to their tiny knees, "We are but fair travelers. We are ever so sorry to interrupt your conversation. My brother knows not when to keep his words to himself." The orange creature added.

Zenko looked to his sister. 'This isn't right.' he said to her telepathically.

'They don't seem right to me either Zenko.' She answered silently.

"Mind me not asking, but, do you know the direction to the dark forest?" the red creature asked, receiving a slap from the orange female.

Zenko fell back a step. "What business do pixies have in the dark forest? Nothing but evil resides there."

"I'm sorry to cut this short, but my brother has over-shot his boundaries." The orange creature leaned towards Hoshi, "He's sick you see. Too many boysenberries. We must be off. Our family is meeting in the city of Yetevaten." The two unfamiliar figures hovered about the other two. "We'll be seeing you around." And they disappeared into the night sky.

"Now I know something isn't right, brother." Hoshi said, standing.

"Pixies. In the dark forest. I think I must follow them." Zenko spread his wings and began to drift away.

"Wait my brother! I must go with you!"

"No. One of us must stay to watch over the prince and princess. I'll be back before the next night fall. I promise." With that, he disappeared in the same direction of the other two.

Hoshi kicked a dew drop off a leaf, and sat down with an angry sigh.

-Elsewhere-

"Come on Sakura!" an eager Chiharu whispered through the night.

"But what if Mother and Father catch us?" Sakura whispered back as she hid in the shadow behind her sister.

"They won't. I made sure they were fast asleep before we snuck out. Now come, you won't regret."

"This, Takashi..How did you meet him again?"

"Oh, well, i went into town the other day to pick up your birthday present for tomorrow, and he was there picking up something for his brother. His birthday is tomorrow also. He was born the same day and year you were. Isn't that interesting?" Chiharu giggled as they passed the bakery and tailor shops.

"Yes. Interesting." Suddenly something caught Sakura's eye. "Chiharu, wait."

"What is it?" Chiharu turned around to face her sister, and looked in the direction that she did. "A Clow Card? No, it couldn't be. You caught them all." Chiharu thought for a moment. "Is it Zenko. Oh no, he'll go wake up Mother and Father for sure."

"No. It couldn't have been him. It was like him. Yet, it was red."

"Red? Didn't Zenko tell us tales of him and his sister? Could it be her? Oh, I've forgotten her name..Do you remember it?"

"Hoshi."

"Yes. Could it be Hoshi?"

"I highly doubt it. The aura is unfriendly. And i remember how Zenko told us how him and his sister were colors of the sunrise, how evil showed in the colors of the sunset."

"O well, let's not worry about it. Come, Takashi and his brother wait near the square." Chiharu stated, before she began creeping on ahead.

Sakura paused. Something didn't feel right to her. Suddenly, the red light appeared before her eyes. She was sent into a hypnotized state. It's lovely sing-song voice calling out to her.

"Come with me lovely princess. The fate of the world lies in my hands, not yours." the red light sang to her, as she began to follow it in the opposite direction of her sister, instead in the direction of the Dark Forest.

-Chiharu-

"Look Sakura! There they are!" she turned around to face her sister. Only, her sister wasn't there. "Sakura?"

"Chiharu!" Takashi shouted coming up to her.

"Shhh..Takashi, don't yell. You'll wake up the townspeople."

"I've lost my brother. Did he pass by you?"

"No. Have you seen my sister?"

"I can't say that I have."

Chiharu was suddenly worried. "Oh no. The light."

"What light? You saw a light? Did you know that lights.." Chiharu clamped her hand over his mouth.

"Didn't i tell you not to yell?"

"Soweee." Came Takashi's muffled reply.

-Syaoran-

This feeling he thought, it's familiar, yet, I dislike it. He ran through the streets of the village following his gut instinct on a somewhat familiar aura. "If only i knew who it was that was so powerful." he whispered.

Suddenly, he came upon a beautiful girl, about his age, with long honey- colored hair, who wore a tattered light gray cloak. However, it was the tiny red light that caught his attention.

"Zenko?" he wondered, thinking of Hoshi's brother. "No. Color of the sunset! It's evil." he whispered. He reached for his neck, and took the necklace with two round black beads in his hand before transforming it into a sword.

He ran towards the girl and the light, then jumped between them with his sword before him. "Who are you? And what is your business with the girl?"

"O look, a prince to save his princess, as long as you've met, my business is done." the red light hissed, before disappearing into the dark.

Syaoran stood for a second, "A prince to save his princess? That pixie must be on crack." Suddenly, he remembered the girl. He turned around to see her, little did he know, that as soon as he looked into her stunning emerald eyes, that she'd be taken away without a word. He watched as a man in his early 40's, with dark brown hair took the girl by the arm and pulled her away.

The only words he caught from the girl was, "Father, forgive me." And then, she was gone. He was left alone in the streets, left to his own thoughts. "She was beautiful." he whispered, then his thoughts changed. "I must tell Hoshi about that red pixie."

Suddenly, a wind came past him, and a hand wrapped tightly around his arm, he recognized his brother, Takashi. "You better hurry up, those girls' father showed up. Quick." And Syaoran was dragged from his thoughts, back to his home on the other side of town.
