IN HIS EYES

A/N: I am basing this mostly in Syaoran's perspective, but if there is a change in perspective I shall let you guys know. I am writing this because; don't you think there has always been a way of reading someone by looking him or her in the eyes? I think eyes are mysterious and hold many secrets of people's thoughts-but you can see "Something" by looking them in the eyes. Eh I know I may be rambling on but this is what I feel whenever I look someone in the eyes, you can just tell what they're trying to say..

Chapter one-I am ruthless
~Syaoran's POV~
It was a cold winter afternoon, the wind was blowing, snow was falling from the sky and the usual light blue sky was turning a dark gray. Syaoran Li, a boy of 14 was "trying" to walk home in this storm. It was highly impossible for him to keep his amber eyes open because the wind was clashing against his face so hard that it stung his eyes. His usual messy brown hair flailed in the strong current of wind, meshing it in his eyes. Syaoran also felt it hard to breathe in this condition; he had always found it quite hard to breathe if a strong wind was thrashing in his face. He raised his arm in front of his face to try and block the wind from his face. It helped a bit, but still he could feel it. He was nearly home by now, but still had about a block to go. 'Damn mother! Sending me walking home in a blizzard like this! Urgh!' Syaoran was angry with his mother, but he knew that she was a very busy woman. Still he remained angry with her. He was an angry "little Wolf" if you may say. He opened his eyes to slits just being able to see his surroundings; the snow was starting to come down heavier now and the sky an even darker gray. He began to run, knowing that if he didn't get out of this up coming storm he'd be in trouble. The streetlights were turned on, but they were little use to his vision in the snow. He kept running, hearing his footsteps crunch in the ever-thickening snow on the footpath. He also heard something else. More footsteps running--from where? They sounded like they were coming from the direction he was heading in. Who in their rights mind would be out here in the middle of a blizzard besides him? As he kept heading in the direction he saw a shadow emerging from the thick white snowy air. It was running too. He squinted hard to try and make a picture out of that person. It was futile, he still couldn't see. As he came closer, the person started to meld into something rather of a picture that you could see clearly in a book. It was of a girl, he was sure of it. Well pretty sure. She didn't look like she was enjoying the blizzard either, and also looked like she couldn't see squat all. She was heading.right for him! He tried his best to estimate which way to move out of the girls way, but couldn't see that good. BANG! He collided with the girl. Both of them landing like a heap on the ground. 'Ouch.' Syaoran muttered rubbing his cranium.
'Sorry.so sorry, I didn't see you.' the girl spluttered, covering her mouth with her hand. It was pretty hard to talk.
Syaoran looked up to see a girl with auburn hair and jade green eyes. He glared. Who did she think she was? Not looking where she was going! The fool!
'Look where you're going!' he replied gruffly getting up off of the ground and dusting off the snow that was all over him. Without another glance he began walking again, heading towards his home. The girl got off of the ground, took one more look and then headed in her direction.

Syaoran opened the ebony door to his house, the snow blowing in too as he walked in. He removed his jacket and placed it on the coat hanger. He then entered the living room where a warm blazing fire was a light in the fireplace.
'Ahh.' he sighed as he drew a seat in front of it. He rubbed his hands together warming them up. They felt frozen to the bone he was that cold.
'You're here Shaoran?' the all-familiar voice of Meiling sounded airily behind his red velvet chair.
Syaoran turned around, only to see his former fiancé Meiling. She was a fairly pretty Chinese girl with long black hair that was worn in pigtails and to match her black hair was her lovely ruby red eyes. Those eyes looked concerned right now.
'Yes I'm here.lucky you staying home today. Are you feeling any better?' he asked pulling up a chair for her to sit next to him. She took it appreciatively and sat down.
'I'm feeling a bit better,' she let out a dry cough. 'So how was school?' she stared at the cold looking boy.
'Horrid. It was so bloody cold today-I had to walk home in a blizzard that was ludicrous!' he glared feeling that hate that he always felt rise.
'Sorry to hear Shaoran.' She sounded sincere. She got up off her seat and left the room without another word. It was quite custom for him to see her bow at him before leaving, but she didn't. But soon she returned with a blanket draped over her arm and a steaming mug of hot chocolate. 'Thought you'd like to warm up?' she smiled placing the blanket over him and resting the mug on a coaster on the table next to him.
'Why must you mother me.' He snapped picking up the warm mug. He took a sip and suddenly felt himself begin to warm up.
'Syaoran Li! I wish you would learn to be a bit more grateful!' she said angrily, also letting out a small cough.
'Meiling go back to bed okay? Otherwise mother will get pissed at me for letting you get out.'
'Okay, okay no need to get all huffy about it Shaoran,' she bowed to him. 'Good night, I hope you don't catch a cold.' And she swiftly left the room and Syaoran could here her loud steps going up the steps to her bedroom.
He took another sip of the warm chocolate milk. It felt good to warm up.he slid down making himself feel a little more comfortable in the chair. He pulled the blanket over himself completely, and just stared into the fire. It became silent in the house after he no longer heard Meiling pacing about in her room. All he could hear was the crackling noises of the fire burning through the big chunks of wood.
Half an hour later Syaoran heard the front door creak open. He presumed that it was his mother. Sure enough his mother found her way into the living room and she stared at her son. How he become so heartless over the years. Syaoran glanced up at her. She was a fairly young looking woman, she had long black hair worn back in a pony tail
'Hello Syaoran,' she smiled.
He did not answer. He was mad with her. She was always busy and he felt neglected a lot. It's not that he hated his mother, but sometimes he just wished that she would be a little more..easier on him.
'Syaoran? Are you mad at me?' she queried making her way closer to her son.
'Mother.why did you make me walk home? Why not of sent Wei?' he said madly removing the blanket from his lap.
'Syaoran-Wei has been busy doing errands for me. I'm sorry I did not intend on you walking home in a blizzard but circumstances arise.' Yelan wondered off thoughtfully running a finger through a strand of hair.
Syaoran stood up quickly sending the blanket onto the floor. He stared into his mother's eyes and glared like he always did.
'Syaoran.how you have become so.callous.' She sighed. 'Syaoran go do your homework okay? I'll get Wei to send up supper later on.' Yelan replied quickly and then left the room without letting her son say anything more.
Syaoran without hesitation made his way upstairs and into his bedroom. He slammed his door shut and sat down at his desk. He opened up his drawer and began searching. He found what he was looking for-his diary. It was quite unusual for him to be found writing in a diary, but this was not just a diary. It was his heart and soul poured into it. His very thoughts, his feelings-everything! If one were to open it up and read it they could find out anything about him. So that is why it was so precious. Only he could open it. He had put an ancient Chinese charm on it. It would recognize his aura and only open up to him.
'Hiraita.' It meant "open". The diary opened and he flicked through the pages and found a new page. He glanced around his room as if expecting someone to be spying on him, and then he picked up his green ink-colored pen. He began to write. Scribbling down his thoughts of the day.
Dear journal,
Today was very cold, a blizzard at that. I was sent home to walk in that! Mother-always finding petty excuses to not pick me up from school, I had to walk home in it! As I made my way home though, I ran into a girl. She had the most accentuating green eyes I had ever seen. Although I thought she was rather rude and careless-I mean whom does she think she is running into me! I think she should've looked where she was going.anyway as I came home it was finally a place to feel warm in. Meiling made me a cup of hot chocolate, even though she is sick-silly girl. Mother came home afterwards, and has the nerve to call me callous! Me! I am not. I sometimes.hate her.she is so inconsiderate of me and always puts herself before me. Argh.is it normal to feel hatred towards your mother? I've been noticing that I have began to start hating a lot of things.even people.
Well I'm going to leave my thoughts at this as I am beginning to feel impatient and need to study.
Ja ne,
Syaoran Li (Little Wolf)
After writing that entry he closed his book and placed it back in his drawer. He sighed, leaning back on his chair placing his arms behind his head. He closed his eyes.
Why am I callous? Does mother hate me? But I am sure it's mostly the other way around though.ah better get on with my studies otherwise mother will yet again find an excuse to put me down.
Syaoran opened his eyes and rummaged through his school bag and found his textbook for maths. Although he didn't overly enjoy it, he still found it quite easy.
*
Yelan paced around in the dining area, many thoughts racing through her mind. What was she to do about her son firstly? His behavior was very-cold. Maybe she could try to change his behavior somehow? It wasn't affecting his grades at school but she still would like to see her son in a happy mood. Yelan sat down at the table and began sipping her coffee that she had made beforehand. She heard footsteps coming down the stairs at this point. She figured it was either Syaoran or Meiling. It turned out to be Meiling.
'Oh hello Aunt Yelan!' she said cheerily, taking a seat next to her aunt.
'Hello Meiling-you feeling better?' she asked.
'A lot better, I'll be able to go to school tomorrow!' she cheered happily.
Yelan smiled, and took another sip of her coffee. 'That's great news then. Meiling.' she paused looking at her, 'would you be able to help me?'
Meiling looked partially shocked at hearing this, as Aunt Yelan never usually asked for help. 'S-sure.what with?'
'Well I am beginning to become exceedingly worried about Syaoran. I have noted his behavior and mood swings and I have to admit that they aren't very tasteful.' She placed her empty cup onto the saucer and then continued. 'W-would you care to do me a favor, and help me look for someone to help him and his problems.or the many demons he feels he faces in his life?'
Meiling looked dazed. Syaoran needing help? 'Well I guess so.but what kind of person are we looking for?'
'Preferably someone of the opposite sex.yes a girl. Not just any odd girl- someone that stands out, has exactly the qualities that Syaoran is lacking, and they have to be willing to teach him to be placid.and.too love.I fear if Syaoran acts as he does he will never find love in his life.'
Meiling deliberated on this thought for a moment. And then decided to agree with her. 'Yes okay.I really want to see Syaoran happy.if I could not make him happy..' She trailed off. Just recently Syaoran had broken off the engagement between the two. She had been very upset about this, but had come to accept it. 'Yes all right-tomorrow shall we have a quick search in the school?'
Yelan smiled brightly. 'Why of course dear-thank you for your help, now go back to bed as you need your rest.'
Meiling nodded and said goodnight and then headed back upstairs.tomorrow would be an interesting day.
*
Syaoran awoke to a bright and sunny day, although the snow hadn't melted, the weather looked quite pleasing today. He stretched and then got out of bed and changed into his school uniform. He made his way over to his mirror and picked up his hairbrush. He ran it through his hair, attempting to make it look neater. Although no matter how hard he tried, it always looked messy. He shrugged and then made his way downstairs for breakfast.
'Good morning Syaoran!' Yelan greeted him in the kitchen.
'.. Morning..' He mumbled and then began rummaging through the cupboards for something to eat.
Yelan shook her head in a displeased way but said nothing. When Syaoran had finally found something to eat he sat down and began eating his cereal and toast.
'Hurry Syaoran-this morning we must get to school earlier than usual.' his mother warned.
'Gah? What for?' he said in a gruff voice.
'Oh for my reasons now chop-chop!' she grinned, watching him eat in a faster pace.
Syaoran quickly ate breakfast and then headed outside the house waiting for Meiling and his mother to come out also.
'Alright are we ready to go?' she asked, winking at her son. He gave her a somewhat disgusted look and nodded his head slowly. 'Okay in the car then.' she ushered the two into the car.
'M-mother-why are you driving us today? I thought Wei was going too-' Syaoran asked feeling bemused.
'Ah-well I feel like dropping you off this morning, but after school Wei shall pick the both of you up.' She stopped to see Syaoran staring at her, as if not believing a word she was saying. 'Well what are you waiting for? Hop in the car!'
* As the black, slender limousine pulled up in front of Tomoeda high, Yelan had already begun her searching. She had hopped out of the car, followed quickly by Meiling. Syaoran found this very strange. Since when were they so eager to get out of the car? And Syaoran couldn't remember the last time since his mom dropped him off at school. Syaoran slowly began to make his way out of the car.
'You see anyone yet Meiling?' Yelan whispered, her eyes darting all over the courtyard full of young teenagers.
'Nah-uh.we're going to have to go in and take a closer look.' she whispered back.
Syaoran approached the two inconspicuous looking people known as Meiling and his mother. 'And what do you think you two are discussing?' he raised an eyebrow at the two. Purely something was going on that he was not aware of.
'Oh nothing chibi okami,' Meiling smiled. She loved calling Syaoran "Chibi Okami" which meant little wolf
'Shut up! Don't call me that!' he gritted his teeth. 'Well anyway I'm going- need to get to my locker.ja mother.' He nodded at her and made his way up the stairs and into the building.
'Shall we go into the school together?' Yelan asked her niece politely.
'You? Isn't that gonna look a tad bit stupid?' Meiling giggled. Yelan frowned at her.
'I think not! Well we have to follow Syaoran-quickly!' Yelan began running towards the school. Well half running if you may call it, she wasn't walking nor running. Meiling sighed and then followed her aunt into the school.
Yelan walked around and in-between the many loitering students in the hallway, followed by Meiling. Yelan just had Syaoran in eyeshot now.
Syaoran was just opening his locker to take out the books he needed for the first period of the day. He pulled them out and with the other hand he quickly shut his bulging locker with a "snap" he then placed his padlock on it and locked it up. When he turned around to make his way into class someone bumped into him, sending his books scattering across the vinyl floor. Syaoran was furious! He hated it when people would bump into him. Hardly anyone did, they always took caution to avoid it, as he would always become very pissed off. Syaoran opened his eyes to glare at-a girl! Not just an ordinary schoolgirl, but he recognized her as the one that had bumped into her yesterday through the blizzard.
'YOU!' he bellowed furiously. The girl with auburn hair and emerald green eyes quivered in fear at the boy, he looked very angry. She quickly picked up his scattered books and held them out to him, afraid that he might lash out to her if she didn't do it any quicker.
'S-sorry.I-I didn't m-mean t-to-I-it was an a-accident.' she whimpered. He snatched the books out from her hand and stared at her. He liked to see people fear him. It inflated his ego even more so.
'Look where you're going! This is the second time! First it was yesterday- now today!' he looked into her green eyes, and saw the fear that reflected in them. She looked lost and helpless to him.
'Sorry.' she bowed her head in shame.
Yelan and Meiling were watching this from afar, and Yelan was disgusted at how ruthless her son acted to people. But Yelan also saw something else too that struck her. That girl is the very one that could possibly change Syaoran around.
'Meiling! I have found the girl-that very girl! You must follow her and become friends with her, tell her about how we wish of her services.' Yelan said quickly.
'Y-you are sure she'll do?' Meiling glanced at the scared looking girl.
'Yes very sure-I sense an unusual aura from her. It tells me that she is the one to help Syaoran become who he is really meant to be.please do this for me.' Yelan begged. 'I must go now.'
Meiling nodded solemnly. 'Of course aunty-anything to help Syaoran.'
And with that Yelan made her way out of the school and towards her limousine. Meiling smiled, this girl did in a way look like the type that could help Syaoran.just maybe.

'Shut up! Don't call me that!' he gritted his teeth. 'Well anyway I'm going- need to get to my locker.ja mother.' He nodded at her and made his way up the stairs and into the building.
'Shall we go into the school together?' Yelan asked her niece politely.
'You? Isn't that gonna look a tad bit stupid?' Meiling giggled. Yelan frowned at her.
'I think not! Well we have to follow Syaoran-quickly!' Yelan began running towards the school. Well half running if you may call it, she wasn't walking nor running. Meiling sighed and then followed her aunt into the school.
Yelan walked around and in-between the many loitering students in the hallway, followed by Meiling. Yelan just had Syaoran in eyeshot now.
Syaoran was just opening his locker to take out the books he needed for the first period of the day. He pulled them out and with the other hand he quickly shut his bulging locker with a "snap" he then placed his padlock on it and locked it up. When he turned around to make his way into class someone bumped into him, sending his books scattering across the vinyl floor. Syaoran was furious! He hated it when people would bump into him. Hardly anyone did, they always took caution to avoid it, as he would always become very pissed off. Syaoran opened his eyes to glare at-a girl! Not just an ordinary schoolgirl, but he recognized her as the one that had bumped into her yesterday through the blizzard.
'YOU!' he bellowed furiously. The girl with auburn hair and emerald green eyes quivered in fear at the boy, he looked very angry. She quickly picked up his scattered books and held them out to him, afraid that he might lash out to her if she didn't do it any quicker.
'S-sorry.I-I didn't m-mean t-to-I-it was an a-accident.' she whimpered. He snatched the books out from her hand and stared at her. He liked to see people fear him. It inflated his ego even more so.
'Look where you're going! This is the second time! First it was yesterday- now today!' he looked into her green eyes, and saw the fear that reflected in them. She looked lost and helpless to him.
'Sorry.' she bowed her head in shame.
Yelan and Meiling were watching this from afar, and Yelan was disgusted at how ruthless her son acted to people. But Yelan also saw something else too that struck her. That girl is the very one that could possibly change Syaoran around.
'Meiling! I have found the girl-that very girl! You must follow her and become friends with her, tell her about how we wish of her services.' Yelan said quickly.
'Y-you are sure she'll do?' Meiling glanced at the scared looking girl.
'Yes very sure-I sense an unusual aura from her. It tells me that she is the one to help Syaoran become who he is really meant to be.please do this for me.' Yelan begged. 'I must go now.'
Meiling nodded solemnly. 'Of course aunty-anything to help Syaoran.'
And with that Yelan made her way out of the school and towards her limousine. Meiling smiled, this girl did in a way look like the type that could help Syaoran.just maybe.
