Fairies.

Prologue:
Our story begins near a crystal clear waterfall, in the middle of a lush forest. Seated on a tree branch, a fairy with light purple hair gazed at her cousin Sakura as she played with her magic in the pool made by the water tumbling down the cliff.. The brightly colored bubbles Sakura made drifted up to the tree where the first faerie sat, who contemplated them with her deep purple eyes.
Her name was Tomoyo Daidouji, but everyone in Faerie called her Tomoyo. Her so called 'innocent' cousin was Sakura Kimoto; a fairy her age with green eyes and pink hair. Both their butterfly wings had tinges of purple and pink in them.
Sakura was learning how to use her new found magic, while Tomoyo had already learned hers when she was 10.
You see, they were both around 16 human age and that was around the time they started to control magic, her mother however, being a duchess of Liera, wanted her daughter to know magic as soon as possible. Liera, a city in northeast Faerie bordered by mountains, was mostly populated by faerie miners. Her energetic cousin was a daughter of the duke of Liesen, a merchant city that specialized in precious jewels. When Tomoyo and Sakura turned 3, their families moved to the capital city to live within the Queen's palace. At this age, Sakura lost her mother, and Tomoyo lost her father. After their tragic deaths, the duke of Liesen and the duchess Liera decided to build a new home for themselves near the palace and live as a family.
A huff came out of Tomoyo's mouth when at this last thought. Her mother and Sakura's father were enemies. Actually, her mom never really liked Fugitaka much since he 'stole' her sister away.
Getting back to Sakura, she was not as innocent as she seemed. The flirtatious faerie played with the other boys hearts and broke them. She was a player and didn't believe in love. "We created love for the humans not for us", she would snidely. Which is so not true. They have to reproduce themselves to continue their race, and making them fall in love made things simpler. For the faeries, if you weren't married by age twenty, your family chose a husband for you.
"Tomoyo-chaaaaan! You promised you'd show me how to check on the humans! You promised!" her cousin screamed breaking her thoughts.
"Hai, Hai!" she screamed back. True, she did promise to show her how to watch over the humans but....she wasn't really in the mood for it. Heck! She never was in the mood for it, but she did it anyway just to get it over with.
"Come out of the water then! Bring that siener with you once you've filled it with water." (sort of like in Lord of the rings!!), she ordered her. Obedient as always Sakura did it and came running out. Tomoyo grabbed the siener and poured the water in a large, golden bowl.
"Serathar, Moonther, Eracar Dialama. Show us the humans oh great Rediar." She and her cousin chanted. A picture started to form and up popped out a tree.
"The school please", Sakura ordered. When the view changed to the school, she gasped.
Right in front of them were kids around their age, holding on to their boyfriends hands and walking to class. However, what had made her gasp in surprise, after zooming in to the place, was the human sport being played.
"Ah.. soccer, cousin of mine are you really taken by this... game?", Tomoyo asked amusingly.
"No!! The guys! THE guy, he's sooo cute. Ah! His eyes! No, hair! Look Tomoyo aren't they... what is that word.. ah yes, HOT!", she exclaimed..
"Well.. I guess. If you say so.", she replied with indifference.
"Oh look! That boy would be perfect for you! Look, he's the one with the blue hair and gray-blue hair!", she squealed excitedly.
After giving him a good look Tomoyo had mentally listed that, a) he was... hot,
b) smart and c) he had magic.
She sniggered a bit realizing that Sakura was taken by the two mortal magic boys on the team.
"What's soo funny?", Sakura demanded hotly.
"That you are taken with two mortal magic boys!" she replied grinning.
"No, only on one mortal.... boy." she said.
"Whatever, you may watch him, remember when you finish, chant these-", before she could finish Sakura interrupted her.
"Ya ya, I know, now go away. I wanna stare at my man a little while longer." she said delightfully.
Another sigh escaped Tomoyo's lips as she left her over "excited" cousin alone. She then decided to take a little nap on a nearby flower bed. She lay down silently and within minutes she had fallen asleep. An hour later she was shaken awake by her aggravating cousin.
"What do you want Sakura!", Tomoyo demanded in an annoyed tone.
"Guess what!", her pinked haired cousin asked excitedly.
"What?", she answered in a neutral voice, Sakura's little game was interrupting her napping time.
"They're free! No girlfriends! Nothing, nada! He is soooo mine!"
"Sakura you know for a fact we can't fall in love with mortals!" she said sadly.
"Like I care! He will be mine! Oh no. Am I being hard headed again?", she asked when she saw her cousin's mad look.
"Yes, you are. Now listen. What are you planing to do?" she asked, calming her nerves in the process.
"I'm going to the mortal world once I learn how to control my magic, and lessons finish next summer!" True enough, lessons are only a year long, but how was she to stay safe? Now she was worried. She just thought it would be a simple crush, not love!
"Who's going to take care of you child? You are just a kid, and how could you forget your safety?", she asked worriedly. Sakura was just waving her hand back and forth.
"Already taken care of! You're coming with me, we're renting an.... what are those.... Ah yes, an apartment close to the school and we are going there to get our men!"
Now Tomoyo was furious. Sakura wanted her to leave such a peaceful place for the mortal world for boys, only to, in the end, dump them and come back to this world!? But once she saw her cousin's eyes twinkling with excitement, she couldn't object. Let Sakura get her man while she learned how these mortals lived.
"All right," she said while taking her hand, "Lets go get your man."
"Yay! I know you'd give in!", Sakura replied as she hugged her cousin tightly.
They then ran hand in hand back home to ask their family if they could go. To their surprise, their parents agreed. Something about being a good lesson for the two young faeries.
A few hours later, Tomoyo found herself awake, unable to sleep. She didn't mind though. This was better than being kept awake all night because of all the noise coming from her cousin's room. (Does that explain why she was cranky? * Looks around worriedly, waiting for food to be shot at her, when nothing happens, sighs with relief and gets up from under the table with her laptop * Now back to the story.)
One year later...
Bags were packed, tearful good-byes said ("Be careful Tomoyo-chan, Sakura-chan! *sniff* Now play nice with the human children, and remember, NO magic!"), all that was left was the voyage. Gathering around the pool of silver stones, Sakura and Tomoyo mumbled a faerie incantation and jumped in the cool water. They didn't get wet since it was a travel pool; the only way to go from one world to another.
Now in the human world, both girls, now wingless, stepped from the pool. They immediately changed into human clothes and tucked their faerie tunics into their bags. Taking out a map Sakura's dad had given them, Tomoyo looked around and decided on the direction they were heading.
"Tomoyo-chan...", Sakura asked nervously, "where are we?" Dressed in a light pink jacket and jeans, you could never tell she was from another world. Her hair was now a simple light brown, but her piercing green eyes remained the same.
"We're in Tomoeda, in Tokyo. Don't worry, the school we'll be attending shouldn't be far", the now raven haired girl explained calmly. Like Sakura, Tomoyo wore human clothes, except hers reflected her elegant style. The thin black sweater matched the hair flowing down her back, and the long purple skirt swished as they made their way out of the small forest.
It was a clear autumn day, with hardly a cloud in the sky. Coming out of the forest, they found themselves in a cherry blossom park. Seeing a bench nearby, they decided to have a seat and decide on what to do next. As they sat, they gazed interestedly at people passing, going over all they had learned about how humans lived in this country.
During the past year, they completed their magic lessons, while learning Japanese culture from a booklet Sakura's dad had provided. Where he got this booklet, no one knew. At first the language and customs seemed strange and foreign, but the girls eventually got used to them, and even began enjoying learning how these mysterious humans lived.
Now ready, they strolled to the Tomoeda dorm building, an exclusive establishment for those students who wished to live away from home. Fujitaka had come a few months earlier to register both Tomoyo and Sakura in the school, as well as get them a room at the dorm.
The girls confidently walked in and went to the reception desk to get their keys. After getting directions to their room, both girls took the elevator to the 7th floor. Not used to elevators, Tomoyo and Sakura wondered at how this metal box managed to bring them so high up. They had to admit, though, humans found very clever ways to get things done without magic.
As they walked down the hall looking for their condo, they heard arguing coming from condo number 703. As they walked past the door, it was suddenly opened, and a surprised boy was unceremoniously pushed out. He collided with Sakura, who had been trailing behind an indifferent Tomoyo.
"Itai..", Sakura whined as she looked up to see who had so rudely bumped into her.
Her breath caught when she recognized the boy she had seen through the magical pool almost a year before looming over her, one hand on her shoulder, and the other on the ground bracing the shock of falling.
"Eriol you bastard, I'll kill you!", the boy screamed, his head turned away from the shocked girl underneath him. It seemed that the second boy, Eriol, had locked the other boy out.
"With what Syaoran?", an amused voice said behind the closed door.
By now Tomoyo was leaning against the wall, laughing at the mortal boy's predicament. Sakura was frowning at her, very aware of Syaoran's hand on her shoulder. After more shouting, Syaoran began to notice that his left hand was holding something warm, and slowly looked down only to see a green eyes scowling at him. He blushed and slowly stood up, holding out a hand to help Sakura up. Pleased, Sakura took it.
"Sorry miss, are you all right?", he asked in a worried tone, his eyes looking her over for any injuries.
"I'm fine, I should have watched where I was going.. um... Syaoran.", she said uncertainly. He smiled at that.
"What's your name?" he asked.
"My name is Sakura Kinomoto, nice to meet you. And that girl over there is my cousin Tomoyo Daidouji, we come from.... Kitamoto. We moved here because our parents wanted us to attend Tomoeda high-school. It has a good reputation", she explained, making up an excuse on the spot.
"Yo Syaoran! Why aren't you screaming anymore?", the boy called Eriol said before opening the door and stepping out. As he took in the scene before him, his lips slowly curved into a smile.
"Eriol, this is Sakura, and Tomoyo", he said while pointing to the two girls.
"Nice to meet you", they said in unison.
"Its a pleasure. So, what are two cute girls like you doing here?", he said while making the one called Sakura blush even more.
"We're new students at Tomoeda high school,", Tomoyo began explaining, "and were just trying to find our dorm. We kinda got interrupted....", both Eriol and Syaoran looked sheepish at that.
"Um,.. could you show us where apartment 705 is?" Tomoyo asked.
"Sure! It's two doors away from us!", Eriol replied while staring openly at the charming dark haired girl in front of him..
"Thank you, come on Sakura we can't stay here forever chatting. We have to go unpack.", she said while dragging a surprised Sakura into their room. Once inside, Eriol shoved Syaoran in their room and said.
"Who are they?!", he almost screamed. An explanation of who the girls were began.
****
In the apartment two doors down, the girls sank on the couch tiredly.
"Can we come out now...?", asked two little voices coming from their backpacks. Two heads poked out, revealing winged plushie-looking animals. The head coming from Sakura's bag looked like a golden bear, while the one from Tomoyo's was dark purple and more catlike. Both had unproportionally large heads.
"Sure Kero, Suppi.", they said. ( do you actually think I'd forget them?)
Their guardians sighed with relief and flew out.
Kero and Suppi, the family guardians, were passed down to the young faeries on their first birthday to watch over them, and to cause trouble whenever it suited them.
"Who were the two boys?", the one called Kero asked while looking for some munchies in the backpacks.
Sakura was about to explain when Tomoyo interrupted,
"Just some new boys we just met". At that, they both started to unpack. Once they finished, tired out, they fell asleep almost instantly, hardly caring they were far from home, in a strange place.
