Syaoran Li strolled down the hall to his locker with his hands behind his head and let out a sigh of relief. Since there were a couple of months left before the summer holidays would arrive, he wouldn't have to study so hard. As he was packing up his homework, he heard familiar giggles. He glanced to his left and saw a few girls approaching him.
'Oh great, not them again. Can't they just leave me alone for once?' he thought exasperatedly.
"Hey Syaoran-baby, when are you finally going to ask me out? Summer is coming and I'll be craving for some 'fun in the sun'" purred the leader of the popular gang, Kimi, seductively.
"You should be flattered that Kimi has taken a great interest in you! She doesn't just go out with any guy ya know," piped up Kimi's friend, Crystal.
Syaoran glared at them turning Kimi on instead of scaring her away. She brushed her long golden hair behind her peach-coloured ear, licked her pink lips and tapped her slender on his built chest. Then, she locked her piercing aqua eyes with his before strutting down the hall away from him.
"Don't worry Syaoran-hunnie, you still have plenty of time to ask" she cooed and added a wink as she took a final look at his fierce glare, "I'll be waiting."
She walked slowly away from Syaoran with all but one of the other girls following close by.
"Bye," she whispered quietly before scurrying after the gang.
"I swear I'll never understand women," he muttered under his breath while starting to head back to his apartment. His mother had flown in from China and he was expecting to see her there.
When he arrived home, his mother questioned, "Syaoran, my son, have you found a girlfriend yet? I'd like to judge her to see if she is good enough for you to marry."
"Mother! Why do you always ask me that?" He ran his masculine hand through his chestnut-brown hair annoyingly (A/N-uhh..I might make some words up through the story. Bad habit. =P), making it even messier. "Women are too complicated! I don't understand the way they act differently towards me than to the other guys! Besides, I need to concentrate on my studies. Women will only just get in the way."
Yelan listened quietly before calmly saying, "Yes, your studies are important. But you are 17 and have not yet even had a crush! The Li Clan and I have been worried that you may not provide us with an heir to carry the Clan on!" She examined his amber eyes, lost in her thoughts, and after what seemed like forever she continued with a serious tone, "If you wish, I can help you find the one." Syaoran knew that her 'help' would involve magic.
"What about my sisters? Can't they give you a grandson to continue the clan when they get older?"
"My son, you know very well taht it is you who must give us a grandson, because you will become the future leader soon, and the title will be handed down to your son after you."
'Damn! Why do I have to find a wife? I'm better off being single! Stupid family heir tradition..' he cursed silently.
"Fine. But what kind of 'help' is it?" he asked with curiousity.
She paused, lost in her thoughts once again. Then layed her eyes on her son. "This will require a lot of my magic and will last until you've found the one you truly love."
"Go on.." this sounded too serious for him, but when he searched his mother's eyes, he actually saw fear. Then he knew that he should respect his mother's wishes. He was going to do this for her.
"Instead of being yourself, you will be transformed into a female. You will haev the body that would have been yours if you were born a female instead."
Syaoran's jaw dropped. this was the craziest thing he'd heard of just to find 'true love'! He would have thought it was a joke, but his mother's expression told him that she was dead serious. Syaoran then knew that he got most of his facial expressions from his mother. He immediately sealed his mouth after realizing the pain it was causing.
"I hate seeing you so cold and lonely. And this little project of ours will also help you develop an understanding of the opposite sex."
Syaoran stood their dumbfounded. He didn't know what to say or do.
Yelan continued as she examined her son. "Once you're a girl, you can actually make some female friends for a change," she was cut off by a 'what-do-you-mean-for-a-change?' look from Syaoran. She scowled at her son for interrupting her, but proceeded," I know you will find the right girl when you know what they're really like. I know you will find the right girl. Please let me know your decision now so I can teach you the feminine way of how to do things."
Slowly, Syaoran processed everything that she had said into his stubborn brain. He didn't have enough time to think it through. It was now or never! Both leading to a downfall, if said no, he would let down his mother and the entire Li Clan. If he said yes, he would have a horrible experience..as a g-girl! He was frustrated and didn't know which to say. 'Why is she preasuring me today of all days. It would've been easier if she asked me when I was a stupid, gullible kid..but then again, why am I being so selfish? I'll just do it for my mother..' he sighed as he finally gave up.
"Fine, whatever, I'll do it just for your sake and the Clan's as well," he said with an unsteady voice before letting out another sigh, but louder.
His mother planted a slight smile on her pale, beautiful face. "Excellent. I'll inform your principal that 'you' are moving back to China, and your 'sister' will take your place. When you are a female, you will be known as Shao Ling. Now for the transformation, I'll have to recall my memories to regain the chant for the spell. Hurry now and eat your dinner, then finish your homework and take a shower. When you've finished it all, I will perform spell. But you better be asleep by the time I do, or it will fail. I'll set your alarm clock for 5:00 am while you're asleep so when you wake up, I can try to fix your short temper and rude attitude. By the time you do wake up, you'll be a female. And you are not to tell anyone about this or let anyone find out about it or you'll be trapped in the body forever. So we'll work hard on that."
'The things I get myself into..Oh well, it can't be that hard. All I have to do is..flirt..with guys like those girls do.' And with that he headed towards the kitchen to eat his dinner.
But he was so wrong about that..
A/N-Hehe..first chapter. What do you think? Oh well. Sorry about my first fic I made, 'The Blossom of her Eye'. I deleted it cause I thought it was utterly stupid..and I had a writers block. My writing technique also sucks..
Yes, this probably isn't the best story you've read..or has the best description (as you can see..I really suck at that..I'll work on it..). But you can e-mail and give me some pointers..=P Here's my e-mail. young_slayer38@hotmail.com
So anyways, will you review? It will help me build up my confidence and I'll continue writing this story instead of deleting it. =)
