My eyes snapped open as I felt the presence of an unknown person nearby. Immediately I merged myself in with the shadows and silently crept behind them. I watched as he sat looking off towards the moon that hung high above the trees across the field.

'It beautiful when it's full'

I nearly jumped out of my skin when I hear the unknown voice in my mind. On impulse I got into a fighting stance and took out the knife from its sheath on my thigh, poised to kill.

"Who are you, show yourself " I watched as the man standing in the shadows stepped out. My stance relaxed as I realized who it was. After making sure that no one was around I myself stepped out of the shadows and faced HIM. I stared at him curiously before I too looked over to the full moon hanging in the sky.

"It is very beautiful " I started walking across the field towards the forest knowing he would follow me.

He walked faster to catch up to me and we walked side by side in silence until we came to the forest. Immediately we both took to the branches and began leaping from tree to tree until we were deep in the forest.

I found myself in a large clearing with a cherry blossom tree in the centre. I jumped from the branch I stood on a walked over to the tree, laying a hand on its course bark. I closed my eyes as a wind blew threw the clearing causing petals to swirl around me before disappearing into the forest.

"This is my name sake" I turned to find him staring intently at me. We just stood staring at each other before finally I tore my eyes away and jumped onto one of the higher branches in the tree. I settled myself comfortably and stared at the full moon which could be seen clearly through the leaves. I turned to see him sitting on the same branch as me staring at the moon as well.

He turned to face me and before I knew it I was being drawn into his deep amber pools. "Who are you...really?"

He turned and faced the moon, staring at it for long moments before answering. "I have two names. Xiao Lang, as you know and Syaoran Li." He turned to face me as comprehension dawned in my eyes.

"You were the one, the one who was always there when I was a child and in trouble. You saved me and I never thanked you for it. You always left as soon as I was safe in my mother's arms." I closed my eyes tightly against the memories. I knew he was watching me as the memories flickered before my eyes in brief catches. When I finally opened them I turned and bowed my head to him.

"I thank you now with all my heart. You protected me" When I raised my head he was smiling although the fabric over his mouth and nose covered it.

"You are very welcome" I couldn't help it and a smile made its way to my mouth. The smile instantly vanished from my face as I met his eyes.

"Why did you save me all those times?"

He seemed to contemplate this for a while before finally he answered. "I don't know. Something always gave me this feeling right before you were in trouble. And then when I finally find you, it's just in time to save you"

I studied his face in the moonlight as it cast shadows that seemed to make him menacing. But I knew otherwise, that he could never be menacing unless in battle.

"You still get these feelings don't you?"

His eyes shot up to meet mine. "How did you know?"

I smiled and faced the moon. "How can you just suddenly stop feeling something like that, and I know the reason behind it." Immediately the smile vanished from my face and I was jumping out of the tree and heading back.

"Good-bye" was all I said before disappearing into the forest.


The sun shone brightly on the fieldas my Mistress stood practicing with Eriol and her magic. I stood back in the shadows and watched silently. I knew she knew I was there without having to ask. I was always here when she was not in bed and protected with one of my spells. I never left her side unless it was of grave importance or if I knew she would be alright. I also knew that HE stood off a ways watching his Master train with My Mistress. I tried to ignore the urge to go over to him and talk to him as I had the night before, but I couldn't. Not knowing who he was. A little voice in the back of my mind spoke up. I scowled at what the voice said. I mentally put up a block around that voice. I refocused on my mistress's training. Suddenly I realize that he stood beside me. I whipped around to meet his amber eyes as he towered over me. I noticed how I only came up to his chin. His amber eyes were glowing with a fierce light in them.

"Why are you afraid of me?"

My eyes widened before narrowing dangerously. "What are you talking about? I'm not scared of you."

His eyes narrowed back in response. "You are, and you know something that I do not. Tell Me."

I turned and began to walk deeper into the shadows but he grabbed my elbow.

"Tell me"

I closed my eyes tightly before pulling the arm from his grasp.

"If you can not figure it out yourself, then you should not know in the first place."

With that I disappeared into the shadows leaving him staring at the spot I stood in a few minutes ago.


Up on a rooftop I stood, two twin tears running down my cheeks as I watched him go back to his original spot where he stood watching Master Eriol. I jumped over to the next building across from where HE stood and also where I could watch My Mistress, careful to stay out of view of HIM. Tears continued to run freely down my cheeks as I watched him.

'Sister?'

I turned to see my Mistress looking around for me, her lesson with Master Eriol over.

'I am here Mistress. What is it you wish?'

I watched as she said good-bye to Master Eriol before heading inside.

'Sister, I would like to talk to you, ask you some questions'

I wiped the tears from my cheeks before turning and jumping off the roof and heading towards my Mistresses room.

I knew he watched me as I walked in. I felt my heart ache for him, but I couldn't and I didn't know if I could.
