Sakura hummed softly as she skated
down the sidewalk. The wind twirled around her gently playing with her hair. She
closed her eyes enjoying the feel of this cool fall day. It had been raining for
days and the sun had finally decided to share its presence. The rays felt well
warming her body. She sighed happily thinking about these few past years. She
was no longer a child, her body had grown up filling out beautifully. Eight
years had past since she changed all the cards into Sakura cards. Although she
would always be their mistress nothing to magical happen these days. Of course
unless you counted hers and Syaoran's relationship. After finally admitting
their love for each other they had started to date and from there their love
only grew. The clan had called him back to Hong Kong a long time ago. He had
refused them and decided to stay in Japan with Sakura. She often wondered if
that was the right course of action. Of course she loved him with all her heart
and a day without him was to long. But this little voice in side her wouldn't
let her forget he had given up everything for her. Hong Kong was his home, his
family was there. If he had returned than he would be head of a clan and have
many riches. Never having to worry about money. Staying with her he had lost his
title. Of course he hadn't told her straight out… she had accidentally learned
this. At the time she had been furious that he had lied or as he put it
"withheld a bit of the truth". After all it was her own fault and she would
never forgive herself for it.
Sakura was suddenly thrown out of her thoughts as she knocked into
something hard. The force knocked her down to the ground. She cursed mentally
for not paying attention.
"Gomen." She apologized opening her eyes. Infront of her stood her
boyfriend. Apparently she hadn't hit him to hard since he still stood on his
feet.
"I was wondering where you went." He stated extending a hand for her. She
gratefully took it and he helped her up. "You had me worried I wake up and
there's nothing there put a ball of fluff." Sakura smiled at his description of
Kero. Even after all these years the two refused to call each other by name.
Well they where at least civil to each other now, sort of.
"Sorry I just felt like a walk… or skate… and I didn't want to wake you
up. After all you looked so peaceful." Sakura giggle as he wrapped his arms
around her waist.
"Mind if I join you?" He questioned his breath tickling her neck.
"Not at all… Although it's going to be hard to skate in this position."
Sakura replied wiggling out of his arms. He pouted in protest but she took his
hand and started to skate slowly. They walked for a few minutes enjoying each
other's company. A small sigh escape Sakura's lips as the thoughts from early
came back to her. Syaoran noticed the flicker of sadness or perhaps guilt in her
eyes.
"What's wrong?" Syaoran questioned in a worried tone.
"Nothing why?" She replied forcing a smile to him. She was surprised he
knew something was bothering her. Although she didn't know why he always seemed
to be able to read her mind.
"Hey don't give me that I know when something is bothering you." He
answered knowing very well she was lying. She always did that never wanted to
put her problems on someone else's shoulders.
"Its nothing really…." She stated glancing towards her watch. "Hoe! I'm
going to be late!" Sakura exclaimed she hadn't realized they had been walking
for so long. "I'll see you later. Get to class or your going to be late to."
With that she skated off.
Syaoran watched as her figure faded
off.
"She just avoided my question
didn't she?" He stated knowing the answer. Something was bugging his cherry
blossom and she wasn't sharing. He cursed for letting her talk her, into taking
a few different classes than her. Oh well she would have to face him sooner or later. After all they only
didn't share about what two classes. He would get it out of her sooner or later
he always did. He sighed two whole classes without his love. It was hard to get
threw those extremely boring periods. Why had they taken different classes in
the first place? Oh yea Sakura thought it was a good idea. All during high
school Sakura and him had been lucky to have most of the same classes. Infact
senor year they had practically every class together. A good thing and a bad
thing all in one. Although he had something to entertain him all year his grades
had suffered greatly. With spending the whole period staring at Sakura instead
of paying attention and all, that happened to be the effect. Infact the only
class he had excelled in was chemistry, which so happened to be the one Sakura
wasn't in. Sakura's grades had much the same effect. Especially her math, which
was never too great in the first place. Syoaran often tutored her in that area.
He grinned at what their ahem tutor sections usually turned out to be. Yeah for
like the first five minutes it would be math but after that they seemed to be
more interested in each other's mouths. Infact one of those "Study sessions"
would be needed perhaps even tonight. They happen to have a very big exam in
that class. He mentally thanked the professor.
"Oh geez I'm taking after Sakura."
Syaoran stated looking towards his watch. He would indeed be late for his first
class if he didn't hurry up.
Sakura ran into the classroom last one as always. Luckily the professor
was nowhere in sight.
"Ohayo Sakura!" Tomoyo greeted patting the seat next to her. Sakura
smiled at her long time friend. Her and Tomoyo had decided a long time ago no
matter what they would go to the same college. And indeed that promise was not
broken.
"Ohayo Tomoyo." Sakura replied sitting down next to her.
"Sakura-chan did you hear?" Tomoyo asked excitedly
"No what?"
"There is a new student! Apparently he is from Hong Kong I think. I hear
he is drop dead gorgeous." Tomoyo informed Sakura who giggled at her
description. "Although not that you care… Since you are taken… But hey Li-kun
could always use some competition. You know how much he likes to compete."
"Oh Tomoyo I don't think he'd like that to much." Sakura replied
laughing. The girl's conversation was stopped short as the professor walked in.
"We have a new student who will be attending this class. Li Xiao Lang." A
guy walked in who looked strangely like Syaoran. All the girls gasped and
giggled at him. He rolled his eyes searching around the room.
"He looks just like Li-kun! And he has the same last name!" Tomoyo
exclaimed. Sakura could only nod being stunned.
"How.. how is that possible?"
"Maybe he has a brother he never told you about… hehe you know like a
long last brother!" Tomoyo suggested.
"I don't think so….." Sakura replied doubtfully. Sakura and Xiao Lang
made eye contact and Sakura could swear she was looking into Syaoran's eyes.
"Well maybe a cousin…"
"Sit wherever you want so I can get this class started." The professor
stated impaceintly.
"Hai" Xiao Lang nodded and sat in the back of the room away from
everyone. He honestly wasn't thrilled about going to college again but he had to
keep an eye on the Card Mistress and Card Master. The professor went on with his
lecture as the class continued to talk amongst themselves not paying attention
one bit. Most where talking about the gorgeous guy that strangely looked like Li
Syaoran.
Meanwhile in Syaoran's class a woman walked into the room.
"Excuse me. I just got here from Hong Kong I believe this is my class."
She stated. The professor sighed in annoyance. All the guys started drooling
over her. She was extremely beautiful wearing a revealing top. Syaoran stared in
astonishment.
"Wow….. She looks just like Sakura…." Eriol exclaimed stating the
obvious.
"Li Ying Fa fine take a seat anywhere."
"Hai" She took a seat next to Syaoran. She smiled at him and he felt a
blush light up his face. Eriol looked between the two and knew this wasn't going
to turn out well. If Sakura had caught that his descendant would be a dead man.
~She looks just like Sakura…. Only a little taller…. And her hair is just about
to the floor….. and her cloths are a ahem bit a different. But she has my last
name Li! Than again there could be a lot of Li's right…. But Ying Fa means
Sakura in Chinese….. She's giving off a dark aura. She defiantly can't can't be
trusted!~ Syaoran sat there thinking over this disturbing occurrence threw the
period. The rest of the class went with little distributions although not many
where paying attention. Most of the male popular was staring at the gorgeous
green-eyed beauty. Which gave Syaoran a jealous feeling for some reason. ~Stop
that you have Sakura!~
After class Syaoran bolted out of his seat. He had to get away for some
reason the woman seemed to be luring him to her. As he made his way outside with
no trouble he sighed in relief.
"You dropped this." A voice stated behind him. He turned around to be
faced with the very same girl he was trying to avoid. His book in her hands he
cursed mentally swearing he had that book with him. Syaoran took it from her
hand and was about to walk away, but luck would not be on his side today.
"I'm Li Ying Fa." She stated a bit annoyed at his attempts to ignore
her.
"Li Syaoran thanks for bringing my book." Syaoran replied not wanting to
be rude.
"No problem. Hmmm well I guess I'll be seeing you around…hopefully we
have more than one class together." With that she walked off into the crowd
disappearing from his sight. Syaoran shivered at the tone she had given him. She
was defiantly going to be trouble.
Sakura walked hurriedly trying to find Syaoran. She wanted to tell him
about what happened earlier. She had a very bad feeling about all this. There
where two distinct auras around beside hers and Syaoran's. One was evil while
the other she wasn't quite certain on. Suddenly she bumped into someone nearly
falling to the ground. Luckily she caught herself before falling.
"Gomen" She cursed mentally ~I really have to start watching where I go.
This is the second time today!~
"Its alright." She looked up to the voice and saw Xiao Lang a blush
immediately took over.
"Your umm Li Xiao Lang right….? My name is Sakura Kinomoto. Your in my
first class." Sakura greeted for some reason she felt she could trust him. Maybe
because he looked like her boyfriend which she trusted her life with.
"Hai Kinomoto."
"Please call me Sakura everyone does."
"Alright Sakura…. Call me Xiao Lang than." The two stared at each other
for few moments not sure what to say next.
"Well I have to go… maybe I'll se you around again." He quickly exited
feeling uncomfortable. He knew if his mistress had seen that she wouldn't be
happy. Even if it was her….
"I've been looking everywhere for you." Syaoran stated walking up behind
Sakura.
"Well here I am!" Sakura replied turning to him.
"Something's going on….. There is this girl that's in my first class and…
she looks exactly like you." Syaoran explained not quite sure how too. He didn't
know if it was clow card related but his senses told him that there was going to
be trouble. Sakura looked at him for a few moments ~A girl that looks like me?
And a guy that looks like him? What in the world is going
on!?!~
"And in my first class there is a guy that looks just like you." Sakura
replied.
"They must be the two auras I felt than…" Syaoran concluded Sakura
nodded.
"One feels extremely dark….. evil….. While the other is like indecisive…
like it could be either way." Sakura explained.
"Yes I feel that two. They have to be watched…. Who knows what they are
planning…. Maybe they are after the Sakura Cards." Syaoran stated.
"Maybe…. Well lets not stand here and dwell on it…. We are going to be
late." With that the two headed off to their next class. Which they shared
together. When they arrived they sat in back chatting a bit. Suddenly Sakura
stiffened a bit noticing that one of the auras was coming closer to them, she
could tell Syaoran knew to. ~They are probably in this class two.~ Just as that
thought ran threw Sakura's head he entered. Syaoran glared at him harshly
stunned. When Sakura said he resembled him he hadn't thought they would look
like twins. The only difference between him and the man was their height, the
guy was a bit taller than himself. He walked to the back of the class again
sitting away from everyone. Syaoran glared back to him back the man payed no
heed to it. Suddenly Ying Fa walked into the room. Sakura saw her first and
gapped. They indeed looked alike Syaoran wasn't joking.
Xiao Lang stared at her in his own astonishment. He hadn't counted on her
joining College. ~So that's why I've felt her aura close all morning.~ The woman
walked to the back and sat next to Xiao Lang much to his dismay.
"What are you doing here……?" Xiao Lang hissed in a whisper so no one
could hear.
"Just seeing what you where up to love." She replied. "Didn't want you to
get into any trouble."
"I'm more worried you'll be the one in trouble." He sighed. After a few
minutes of silence went by he went on. "So what name are you using here… So I
don't call you the wrong thing?"
"Ying Fa Li…." She replied enjoying
the feel of that name rolling off her tongue. Xiao Lang stared at her as if she
was nuts. "Well I decided since I knew you would use your Chinese name than I
would two." Ying Fa explained seeing his expression.
"And what about Li? We aren't married."
"Maybe not legally but we are in every way that it counts. It suits me
better anyways… plus if any girl gets any ideas they will have to face me."
"I'm not interested in any of them you know that." Xiao Lang replied. It
was the truth though he did only have eyes for her.
"Maybe so but just remember if you are they won't live to tell the tail."
"Your jealousy is showing Ying Fa."
"I'm not jealous just warning you." She replied turning away from him and
back to the professor. He sighed he couldn't stand being so close to her yet so
far away. He wanted to feel her skin against his. Run his fingers threw her soft
honey brown hair. He couldn't give into her not with the fate of everything on
his shoulders. This is going to be hell he thought in despair as he stole
another glance at her. He knew that he wouldn't be able to resist her soon. It
took all his strength to now and she was only getting stronger. Xiao Lang could
only hope he found a way to break the spell on her before it was too late.
