Chapter 2

Family

Home, they say, is where the heart is. It is when family is together. But what of three children who don't even have a house to call their home?

Two children slumbers peacefully under the sparkling sky while an older boy seems to be sleeplessly staring at its glitters.

'Mother, Father, what am I going to do? I'm sorry.' He said to the sky while one of the sleeping figure besides him stirred.

"Uniichan?" the auburn-haired girl called. He looked at her with serenity on his face and smiled at her lovingly.

"Why are you still up?" she questioned. "Can't sleep?"

"No, it's not that." Silence followed. "I was just .... thinking."

"About what?"

"Of things."

"Like?"

"Just stuffs."

The girl pouted and impatiently yelled, "UNIICHAN!!!"

"Shhh. You'll wake up Tomoyo."

"But...?"

"Go to sleep. I'll tell you in the morning." But too late the last sleeping figure stirred and sat down.

"What's going on?" the girl yawned. "Why are you still up?"

"It's nothing." The boy said.

"I also don't know, he wouldn't tell me anything." The girl glared at her older brother.

The boy sighed. "Ok. I'll tell you."

His looks became grim, "You both understand what happened three months ago, right?"

The two nodded.

"I think that other people might pry about our disappearance....."

"Then that's great!" the auburn haired girl yelled and the two girls cheered.

"Wrong!"

"What?" Tomoyo asked obviously confused of the older boy's reaction.

He sighed again and continued, "It's just that what if 'uncle' decides to get rid of us since he couldn't make them believe in his lies. What would happen then?"

"Oh." The girls said in unison.

"That is bad." Sakura scratched her chin thoughtfully thinking of what to do next.

"Tomoyo." Touya faced her and took a deep breath. "You're our cousin........."

"Yes?"

"But I think that has to .........end."

The girls gasped, "Hoe?!"

oOo

KNOCK. KNOCK.

A woman in red with her hat held down knocked on a white door with a golden plate with the words Chief Executive Officer engraved on it.

"Come in." a male voice said from the other side.

The woman entered and took her hat off. She was beautiful with long black hair and rosy skin. The man seated stood up. "What can I do for you, Ms........?"

"Mrs. Li."

"I am a friend of Mr. Kinomoto and Mrs. Daidouji and I've just heard about the awful news."

"Take a seat, Mrs. Li." the man offered. "I am Yue Tsukishiro, Sonomi's husband.

They shook hands and both sat down.

"My condolences. I'm sorry I couldn't be here three months ago. I was away on a business trip."

"It's alright. It was very painful to see their plane just explode like that." He said but his thoughts were of others, 'Yeah right. Painful.'

"Where are the children?"

Mr. Tsukishiro's looks became grim, "They......"

"What's wrong?" Mrs. Li asked worry etched her beautiful face.

".....Runaway."

"W-what? That's terrible. But why?"

"I don't know. We all went home after the funeral but the next morning they were gone. There wasn't even a note." Desperation was clear in his voice.

"I have searched everywhere for them but I couldn't find them."

"I'll help in anyway I can."

An evil glint could be seen on Mr. Tsukishiro's face, "Thank you very much, Mrs. Li."

"You can call me, Yelan."

oOo

'This palce is huge. But not as big as ours.' A young boy of ten with unruly chestnut hair walked around the highest floor of the building, Phoenix Enterprise, overlooking the city of Tomoeda.

"Hey, Little boy. This is no place for kids." A man told him.

'Yeah right.' The boy thought. He turned around and glared at the man.

"I was just looking for the CEO's office."

"The CEO's office?" the man scratched his head. "What do you want there? Walk to that direction and then turn right."

"Hey, wait!" The boy briskly followed the direction without looking back.

He reached the door of the CEO's office and immediately turned the knob. He saw a woman stood up and shook the hand of the man on the desk.

The man saw him, "Who are you?! What are you doing here?!"

The woman turned around and recognition dawned on her face, "Syaoran!"

"Oh, I'm very sorry, Yue. This is my son Syaoran." She motioned for the boy to come closer.

"I'm also sorry for yelling. I am not used to little children wandering in my office." He extended his hand to Syaoran but Syaoran didn't take it.

"Syaoran!"

"That's alright, Yelan. Kids will be kids."

"Thank you again, Yue. I'll be in touch."

'New fish. But the boy might be a problem.' He waved as the two figures left and closed the door.
