Disclaimer: Don't own any characters, except the ones I make up. Don't own
CCS, only own the plotlines and stuff.. yeah.
Summary: Sakura has just lost everything that meant anything to her, and is forced to resort to a life on the dangerous city streets of Metropolis. Syaoran's entrance as a rich and spoiled one, gangs, and other conflicts await her..
A/N: I can type with both hands again, though it's not quite as fast as it used to be. Been reading the 'alternate universe story of CCS' called Tsubasa. I'm not up to date on it yet. I love Syaoran so much! I like how Clamp added lots of characters from their other stories as well. Oh, in the next few chapters, I'm going to be bringing up what might be a touchy subject for people in the next chapters, and I hope no one is offended. Don't get the wrong idea, nothing perverted or gross. And a big Thank-you and Arigatou to everyone who has reviewed! ^_^ Hope you like the eleventh chapter.. Revealed..
Her Story
Chapter Eleven
Revealed

Kono mama futari de itetsuita sora no
Kanata he yukeru to douka shinjiteite
Dareyori mo chikaku dokomade mo tooku
Kimi ga iru yume ha mou kesenai kioku dakara

Moeco smirked as Rita stood up to face her. She had shoulder length reddish brownish hair and startling gray eyes. They reminded her of someone else's eyes, but she couldn't quite remember who it was. Sakura looked back and forth between the two and then at the people around them that had begun to stare.
Making up her mind, Sakura stepped between the two. Moeco looked slightly surprised, as though it was the first time she noticed this girl.
"Look, I don't know what went on between you in the past, but now is definitely not the time to deal with it. Especially here." Sakura said quietly but firmly.
"And just who do you think *you* are?" spat Moeco, turning her attention to Sakura, regaining her composure.
Sakura glared right back at her.
"I don't have to answer you." She said icily.
Moeco's eyes narrowed slightly, as if deducing something in her head.
"You must be that Sakura girl.." she finally said. "I don't recognize you as anything else."
Sakura was slightly reminded of a military commander when this girl spoke.
"Listen," she brought her face closer to Sakura's, "You better learn to keep out of matters that don't concern you. For your own sake."
Like you care, thought Sakura, but she kept her silence and did not move, her green eyes clashing with gray. Sakura suddenly remembered whose eyes they were like; they were the same color as Kyusuke's. Moeco was the first to look away, turning her head as though she was thinking about something. Then she shook her head for a moment and shot a menacing glare at the two before leaving.
"This isn't over."
~*~
Syaoran closed the door behind him and leaned against it for a moment. Then he shouldered his soccer bag and started up the winding stairs towards his room.
"Syaoran, your Algebra teacher called us today." His father said, without glancing up from where he was sitting on the couch reading the newspaper.
The chestnut haired boy froze for a second, pausing to show that he was listening.
"Apparently you aren't doing too well in that class."
He didn't move.
"Syaoran Li, turn around and face me this instant." His father's voice was sharp and he had looked up from the newspaper.
Syaoran complied, turning his head grimly.
"I'm extremely disappointed in you. You should be doing better than a 'C'. A 'C' is average. Is that what you want to be Syaoran? Average?"
Syaoran clenched his fist around the banister where it was resting. He knew better than to retort. His grip tightened as his father went on berating him.
"You might be satisfied with being average, Syaoran, but I will not tolerate it. From now on, you will have a tutor who will meet with you on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. Do you understand me, Syaoran?"
Syaoran's blood boiled at the injustice of it all. Silently, he willed himself to relax. His grip on the banister loosened slightly.
"I understand. Is that all, father?" he said, his voice monotone and dull.
~*~
Sakura combed through her auburn hair, feeling satisfied each time she sorted through the tangles that had gathered. Tomoyo was gone for a few hours, having to go to her weekly art class. A few of her paintings were hung up around the shop, and Sakura enjoyed looking at them. She didn't have much experience judging works of art, but she was sure that Tomoyo could probably earn her scholarship on talent alone.
Since Tomoyo was gone, Sonomi had practically ordered Sakura to take a shower upstairs in their private bathroom, and wouldn't take no for an answer. She set down the comb and started to pull on her socks. Halfway through pulling the left sock on, she paused, seeing the familiar tattoo on the bottom of her heel.
~Flashback~
"Waahh~~ Wow, Chiharu-chan! Your house is huge!" Sakura gushed upon entering it.
Chiharu grinned at the comment good-naturedly.
"Sakura-chan, your house is almost the same size, don't you know?"
"Oh, yeah." Sakura blushed, embarrassed.
"Anyway, I'm so happy that your parents are finally letting you sleep over!"
"Yup! You'd be surprised how long it took me convince them. I even got on my knees and begged!" Sakura nodded, with a wise air.
"Well, it was worth it, ne? Here, let me show you my room!" Chiharu grabbed her friend's hand in excitement and literally dragged the girl up the stairs.
*Later, at night.*
Sakura pulled off her socks after changing into her pajamas and stuffed them into her bag while Chiharu coaxed her small dog into the room.
"Ah! Coco-chan!" Sakura laughed as the dog came bounding in and started to trot around the room.
"Come here, Coco-chan," Chiharu cooed.
The dog seemed to ignore his young master. Chiharu frowned and decided if Coco wasn't going to come to her, she'd go to him. It wasn't long before she eventually ended up chasing the furry terrier around the room. Sakura laughed as she watched her friend's failed attempts at catching her dog.
Chiharu jumped on her bed a second after the dog hopped off. It took a U- turn and launched itself at Sakura who immediately hugged it close to her so he wouldn't get away again. Not that Coco didn't try to; it wasn't until Sakura had him lightly pinned to the floor so that she was lying on her stomach on the floor that he stopped struggling and seemed to settle down. Sakura sighed and looked at Chiharu, but her friend's attention was diverted to something else.
"Ne, Sakura-chan, what's that mark on your foot?" Chiharu asked.
Sakura frowned for a second, and then realized what she was talking about.
"Oh, this?" She lifted her heel and pointed to the mark on her heel. It was star-shaped with the letter "E" printed in the middle of it. "I don't know, doesn't everyone have one?" she asked. That was what her father had told her.
Chiharu shook her head slowly for a second, and then crouched down to check her own feet. Seeing nothing, she lifted her head and shook it again. Sakura was a little confused and looked down at her heel.
"I bet it means that you're special Sakura!" Chiharu said, clapping her hands together. "Yep, yep, I'm sure it does. That's so cool!" She grinned, hugging her pillow close and Sakura grinned back.
"Oh look, Coco's whining. I think he wants to go outside to do his business." She made a face at Sakura. "Come on, I'll take him out and then we can have a snack downstairs in the kitchen.
But as Chiharu led her dog outside to their yard for a few minutes, Sakura slipped her socks back on before padding after her.
~End Flashback~
Sakura sighed and tied up her shoelaces and picked up the blow dryer. After that, she ran the comb through her hair again and packed up her bag and headed back downstairs.
Sonomi smiled at her and asked her if she could take over the cash register while she went to pick a few things up from a store.
"Tomoyo should be back in a bit, as well," she said.
Sakura nodded and she left.
Ten minutes later and the store was empty again. Sakura twirled a strand of her hair idly with a finger. The bell rang and then out of all the people that could have entered, in came Chiharu again. She went off into an isle on the right without a glance in Sakura's direction. Sakura sighed but was distracted when Rita came bursting through the door right after Chiharu.
"Sakura!" she said, looking relieved as she was trying to catch her breath.
"What's wrong?" Sakura frowned.
"It's Takashi!" Sakura briefly noticed that Chiharu's shuffling into the back isle stopped. "You know, Yamazaki? Something's happened. I can't really explain it here," she said glancing around. "Can you come with me somewhere for a little while?"
"No, I can't," Sakura said, "There's no one to take over for me. Can't you tell me here?"
Rita hesitated for second, then sighed. "I suppose there's no helping it then. Alright, but before I tell, there's something you should know about Takashi Yamazaki."

Like this, together we journey to
The distant frozen sky, somehow believing;
Because, closer than anyone, further than anywhere,
Your dreams won't disappear from memory
