Ohayo everyone. This is your fav authoress, Chibi Ijin. Yes, I am their favorite writer, onni-chan *smacks him as he rolls his eyes* Well I've got a new story coming up for you all since you liked my other fic The Last Day Of Normal Life. I'm gonna try extra hard with this one and update as soon as I can cos school's started . adjusted his glasses which hid his navy eyes and cleared his throat. At the same time he threw a glance at Syaoran Li, also known as the Heartless One and brushed away his navy black hair that were flying in the wind that filled the sails of the galleon. "So what direction are we heading now?" he asked. Syaoran stood facing the ocean, cold and immovable as marble. His untidy hair was swaying with the wind and his intense amber eyes wavered to Eriol for a moment before returning to the ocean, his arms hooked behind his back and feet at ease.

"You have a compass in your pocket, Eriol. I suggest you look at it" he said in a voice that lacked emotion. As if to prove his heartlessness something happened.

"Captains, we found this woman sneaking on board" a burly typically evil- looking pirate said, roughly pushing a dirty, tearstain faced woman in front of him. She stumbled and fell at Syaoran's feet.

Syaoran lifted her face using the tip of his black boots and turned it a little this way and that. Dropping it he said loudly " I have no use for women. Why did you bring her to me? Throw her over board for all I care" He said waving an elegant hand.

"Mercy, forgive me," the woman cried not raising her head. " I was searching for food and the ship left the docks before I could get off. Spare my life, I beg of you both" she raised her head and looked back and forth from Syaoran and Eriol. " This matter is out of my hands" Eriol shrugged. The woman broke down, knowing she wouldn't have a chance in the Heartless One's hands.

" Do you know the price one pays for stealing on board my ship?" Syaoran asked kneeling down to the woman. She continued to cry. "ANSWER ME!" He whispered venomously. The woman nodded and burst into a fresh surge of tears, tearing pieces of her hair with her bony hands.

Syaoran nodded, casting one final look at the woman. He addressed one of the men on the star board side of the vessel. " You there. Man the planks!"

The monster of wood was laid facing the sunset. The woman had struggled to feet and was wiping her face with her dirty hands. Seeing that Eriol and Syaoran were looking at her, she held her head up high and said "Very well heartless One. You have declared my destiny and I shall accept it bravely. But remember this. Find what you have lost. find it quickly.find it before she comes. find it. find it.it" The woman fell down and started to have a seizure. Syaoran raised an eyebrow.

Suddenly he felt a familiar magical aura at work and turned expectantly to Eriol. But he was too busy looking mortified to be doing magic. His gaze returned to the woman who was now foaming at the mouth. He looked disgusted. In the background he could hear the noise of Eriol rushing to throwing up over board. After all, it was a reasonable thing for 17 year olds to do. "Throw her overboard" he managed to say before he joined Eriol.

".And clean that mess up. It stinks" he muttered before ducking overboard again.

"Onni-chan, a fog's heading our way" Sakura squealed clutching Tomoyo's hand. Touya raised his head and looked into the horizon. Sure enough, a dark mist like cloud was heading their way. "Okay, everyone fasten their safety jackets on and tie down every thing that can move. Fogs usually mean bad weather" He instructed. After putting on their life jackets, they set about securing things on board.

Suddenly the weather changed suddenly. Sakura felt a prickle of magic but was too worried about the weather to think about it much except for a 'Someone's doing magic in this weather?! They must be training or something.'

The wind picked up and Tomoyo ran out carrying a large knap sack as the door to the cabin closed with a bang. Yukito reached it and tugged it. " The door's jammed. We're locked outside!" He yelled above the din of the wind.

Sakura started shivering as the wind brewed the weather into a storm and the waves began to grow considerably larger. She huddled in a corner with Tomoyo who whispered words of comfort into her numb ears. The little boat had started to rock dangerously now, forcing water on board. "Sakura, hold on tight" Tomoyo yelled as she grasped her friend tightly. Sakura wriggled free and crawled over to the side of the cabin. " What are you do-" but a scream interrupted her as both girls were forced overboard by a giant wave.

"Sakura!" Yukito and Touya yelled "Tomoyo!"

Yukito dived and reached Tomoyo's hand. Sakura clung to her friend. "Don't let go of me!" Yukito yelled at them both as Tomoyo's pale hand started to slip away from his grasp. He grabbed at her life jacket and after an agonizing 34 second watched it rip.

As if in slow motion both girls hit the freezing water and were swept away " We'll return one day" Sakura yelled and waved at Yukito and Touya who had his hand on his head and was yelling "The hurricane!".

Sakura watched as a tall water hurricane came closer and closer. Tomoyo and Sakura wrapped their cold arms around eachother. As they reached the hurricane instead of drowning they found they were floating upwards and out of the atmosphere, the intense changes making both of them pass out.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Syaoran watched in amazement as the swirling purple cloud come closer to their ship. It had been there for about half an hour now. "What is it?" he asked Eriol who was also surveying the strange phenomenon. "It is some thing like a magical porthole, I think" he replied his voice low in case anyone was near enough to eavesdrop.

The cloud was now directly above them. As they both watched with hidden fascination, two outlines seemed to float down onto the top of the ship's cabin.

Abandoning all logic, both boys rushed up to the cabins. Seeing two people were actually there, they cautiously drew their swords and ventured forward. They poked the sides of what seemed to be. humans. To be more exact, girls.

Nothing happened so Syaoran ventured even closer and squatted down next to one of the girl, sheathing his sword.

He hesitantly placed a cheek near her nose to see whether she was breathing and Eriol did that to the other girl. "Are you sure they're girls?" Syaoran asked suddenly. "Why do ask?" Eriol enquired. "Who can tell with those dresses?!"

Sakura was wearing a short brightly printed spaghetti strap dress with a tee shirt underneath it. Tomoyo was wearing almost the same thing except without the tee shirt and with full arms. Sakura still had her life jacket and Tomoyo her knap sack.

Sakura woke up suddenly and found a pair of intense amber eyes staring back at her. She screamed making Syaoran's eyes widen, an experience he had never felt and fall backwards. But quickly regaining his composure, he clamped a hand over her mouth.

Sakura continued her muffled screaming until the strange boy spoke. "Shut it!" he yelled. Sakura found he had his hand clamped over her mouth so hard, she couldn't breathe. She tried to point this out but he only repeated the words he had spoken before. Slightly out of breath, she bit the side of his hand hard. Syaoran fell down for the second time yelling "Wench, why did you bite me?!" "You were blocking off my air supply, baka!" she shrieked back, sitting up. One glare from Syaoran and she shut up.

"Who the hell are you anyway? And of what gender?" he asked. Curiously rather than angrily.

"Gender?! Can't you see I'm a girl or are you blind?" Sakura yelled. "YOU WILL NOT SHOUT ON BOARD MY SHIP!" Syaoran yelled back. "YOUR SHIP?!" Sakura shrieked and the corner of Eriol's glasses cracked slightly. "Yes MY ship" Syaoran confirmed waving a hand over the ship.

Suddenly she looked around her and saw that she was lyimg on the wooden floors of a large sea vessel which looked nothing like their own boat. She remembered the storm. "Where did you pick up from?" Sakura asked slowly. "Well, there was this por-" Eriol began but Syaoran cut in. "You were drifting out at sea." Sakura calmed down and thought of what had happened.

The storm.
The hurricane.
Yukito and Touya.
Where was she.
Who were these people who rescued her.

Eriol saw that the girl had calmed down and asked gently "May we know who you are?" Sakura looked at him. "Please?"

Finding her lost voice, Sakura replied "I'm Sakura Kinomoto and that's Tomoyo Dai-" she turned to see her friend unconscious. "TOMOYO!" she yelped shrilly making Eriol's glasses crack. He sighed as he took it off and rummaged his pocket for his extra pair and put them on. "What the hell did you do to her ?! Huh? Answer me." She had started shrieking to Syaoran, making Eriol's glasses crack again. Eriol began rummaging in his pocket but suddenly stopped and shook his head. Why bother?

"She was like that when we found her" Syaoran said hotly. "Oh" she blushed and looked aplogetic. "Gomen ne" she said bowing from her sitting position.

"And who are you two?" she asked calmly. "I'm Eriol Hiirogizawa and that's- " "None of your business " Syaoran snapped. "All you need to know is that you are currently on my ship and you will be respected if you give respect." "Hoe?!" Sakura said confused. "Your name is none of your business? Nice name" she commented sweetly making Syaoran blush bright red and Eriol smirk.

"IF YOU MUST KNOW, I AM SYAORAN LI, FUTURE LEADER OF THE LI CLAN, CHINA'S MOST POWERFUL CLAN!" he yelled. "Is that your nickname?" the dense girl asked.

Eriol began to chuckle and Syaoran glared at her full force making her faint again. "Damn it, she just had to make me do that" he said, running his fingers through his hair. "You men," he snapped his fingers at a few pirates who were lurking nearby. "Take them below deck." He saw one of them wink and grin at his shipmates, rubbing his hands together and licking his lips as he came forward. "Maybe this isn't a good idea." he heard Eriol say as he too had been watching the man. 'Maybe'

"No wait" he said stopping them with a raised hand. "Eriol and I will take them" he said hesitantly. The men grumbled and stalked away, acsting a cold glare now and then.

Syaoran bent down and scooped the limp girl's body in his arms, followed by Eriol who was delicately carrying Tomoyo.
