Syaoran woke up that morning feeling much better then yesterday. He was about to act all cranky, when suddenly all the memories about Sakura flooded in.

*Oh Kami I forgot all about Sakura.* Syaoran ran his fingers through his messy chestnut hair worriedly, he would have to figure out why he couldn't sense her and what kind of spell to use against her in case she became to hard to deal with. Like if she tried to get rid of his mother.

He decided he may as well have a shower and get dressed. He grabbed his cloths and went into the bathroom. He was taken aback by it's beauty. It wasn't grey but peach. There were dried cherry blossoms used as popery. He sniffed in the sent. It smelled so good. There were a variety of roses and other flowers in the pot, but mostly the pink petals.

He looked at the grand tub, well more likely a Jacuzzi. He poured in some bubbles that smelled of jasmine. He stripped off his cloths and slipped into the warm tub.

*Know this is what I call a vacation.*

A sudden gust of wind blew in . Syaoran looked down and saw a cherry blossom petal floating in front of him and into the bubbly water. He sweet dropped looking up slowly. He was sure he locked the door and he new he didn't open the window.

his deep brown eyes met with emerald one.

"AAAAhhhhhh!" Syaoran jumped in the water pushing away from her. Sakura only smirked elegantly.

"It seems I've scared you again."

"I am having a bath! Get out and how long have you been watching me?!?" He looked at her angrily, how dare she invade his privacy, he never did anything to her castle. He then looked at her more clearly and saw she was wearing a dark navy blue swim suit.

"I haven't been here long, actually I was coming in to have a bath myself mind if I join you." She didn't wait for an answer she just slipped herself in.

"But you're a ghost, you don't need baths." He spoke with a strange calmness.

"True, but this was originally my room, it was pink, but enough of that even ghosts can still experience sensations of the elemental need." The way she spoke was so different.

"By the way I hear it's your birthday! How old are you turning?"

"15, how old are you?"

"314 I turn 315 in one more month."

"315! How old were you when you died?" he then realised that was a dumb question.

"I mean wait can I take that back…er…ummm…"

"It's ok I died at the age of 14." she looked away as a tear fell down her face. Syaoran reached over and touched her face taking away the tear. He was surprised his hand did not go through. Sakura was looking at him with surprise.

"I thought I couldn't touch you?"

"Only if I don't want you to be able to touch me."

"So ghosts can feel?"

"Only if they want it that way, the only reason you were able to touch me was because I wanted to be able to feel the water around me."

"I see." Sakura put on a smile.

"Well I'll leave you to your bath, I'll see you on the side garden."

She then disappeared in a gust of cherry blossoms.

Syaoran breathed as he felt the water fall from her weight and decided to finish his bath.

When he stepped out he was greeted by Tomoyo.

"Have a good sleep."

"Fine." Syaoran answered.

"That's good Li."

"Please call me Syaoran Daidouji."

"Only if you call me Tomoyo." He smirked at her as they waited for Meiling.

"Meiling hurry up it's rude to keep a hostess waiting." Syaoran shouted through the door.

"I'm coming, hold on!"

Meiling stepped out wearing a white kimoto with red designs. Syaoran turned to Tomoyo who had been wearing a velvet kimoto with gold designs.

"Why are you both dressed up?" Meiling and Tomoyo gave each other a knowing look showing Syaoran they were both in on this. All he was wearing was a green sweater and badge pants.

"It's your birthday Syaoran, don't tell me you forgot." Meiling looked up at him with bright eyes.

"We wanted to surprise you, know come along, there's a big party all set up down stairs."

He fallowed the two eager girls. They came to the huge dining room.

"Wow…" Syaoran took in everything. The long table the blue draperies, the many pictures that decorated the walls of the royal family, the coloured windows, the fine china, the grand chandelier. It was gorgeous. There was roast, potatoes, mashed potatoes, a platter of baguettes, a huge bowl of soup, salad of 2 varieties, one was vegetables the other fruit. Pasta and up course the cake would be brought in.

"How many people?" Syaoran looked up at Tomoyo.

"Your family and friends and up course people from town it's a great way to socialise.

Soon all the guests arrived and everyone sat down to eat, his mother came in and sat next to him. It turned out to be all grown ups.

"Boring." Meilng was so sleepy from listing to the boring conversation about magic.

Syaoran sat down admiring the deep dark ropes his mother magiked on him.

"Oh Li er Syaoran stop admiring yourself." Syaoran looked up blushing at Tomoyo. She only giggled.

*girls…*

Soon the feast was over and came the cake. It was 12 layers of cavities.

"Oh god I couldn't take another bite." But Syaoran took the huge knife and cut the cake easily. His arm grew tired once he did the hundredth plate but he was done.

He sat and ate his cake happily as did Meiling and Tomoyo.

When they were finished he opened the presents. Syaoran received the fallowing.

1. 2 pairs of roller blades

2. A telescope

3. 4 spell books

4. 6 books

5. 5 shirts

6. A disk men

7. And 10 CD's

His mother was supposed to spend time with him for his birthday but she was called off. Syaoran didn't like that, she was always to busy for him. He walked up to his room, Meiling and Tomoyo helped carry his stuff. He pretended to act all sleepy and said he was going to take a nap.

Syaoran sat on his bed. He felt a warm breeze. He got up to see Sakura sitting on the bed across from him. She was wearing a pink Kimoto tied with a blue sash, it had dark pink designs of cherry blossom trees.

"So how was the party?"

"It was fine." Syaoran was in no mood to talk to her.

"Why so glum?"

"My mother left…again."

"Hey, don't feel bad, besides don't you want to know what I got you for your birthday?"

"Huh?" Syaoran looked at her.

"Come on." she motioned him to fallow her. They ran through the castle and through the garden. Sakura yelled 'look out' when Syaoran fell through a hole.

Syaoran got up, at least he landed on something soft. Sakura was standing over him and pulled him up.

"I was going tot take you to a better root then this way, but that's ok, it's not far from here."

"Where are we going?" Sakura didn't answer him. They walked for a few minutes until they came in front of a huge oak door. Sakura knocked 3 times and it opened.

Inside was a beautiful garden. An indoor garden, on the ceiling was a huge hole, which allowed the suns rays to come through casting a heavenly glow.

Sakura walked to a huge stair case. Syaoran fallowed they climbed the stairs and entered what seemed like a church. There was a huge mural of the virgin Marry and pictures of angels flying towards the heavens. It was so beautiful.

"Wow for a little ghost you sure think big."

"Little ghost?!?"

"Ok, cool ghost."

"Cool? I do not know of the word."

"It means you're a terrific person er ghost." Sakura smiled and hugged him.

"Know my gift to you.

They walk up to a huge picture of a man with dark messy black hair and coal bolt eyes.

"This was my brother Prince Touya, he died in battle protecting this castle. Know to you I pass on his sword." She lifted up a grand sword, it had a silver hilt with a red ruby engraved in it.

"I am honoured to except this sword." Syaoran admired its ancient beauty.

"But I don't disserve this, I mean, is it right to take it?" He looked at Sakura quizzically.

"I am sure he won't mind besides there was no heir to the throne, so I'm sure he would be most happy if you except this."

~In heaven: No monster don't give him that! That gaki from China doesn't deserve it! NO NOT MY SWORD!!!!!!!!!!!!! (heavenly angles come to hold back a disoriented Touya) It's mine I tell you MINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!~

"I'm positive he wouldn't mind!" Sakura chirped happily all though in the back of her head she was really on sure. *Why do I have a bad feeling about giving Syaoran this sword…*

Syaoran took the sword happily, it was so shinny very well kept.

"I Li Syaoran promise to honour and protect the Castle Kinomoto!" Syaoran held up the sword. Sakura giggled at him.

"know you'll need a shealth to protect your sword." she picked up a leather shealth with diamonds of different colours embedded on the top and silver to protect the point at the bottom. Syaoran slid the sword in easily and carried it in both hands. Sakura motioned him to fallow her. They walk back to the magnificent garden and she told him to concentrate on one flower really hard. Syaoran did so and he felt himself lift if the ground and he was standing in one of the gardens above ground. Also it wasn't sunny but it looked like rain. They quickly ran inside.

"Wow I still can't believe what you got me."

"No problem."

Syaoran walked up to his room with Sakura. When they were in and the sword put away, he decided to ask her a question.

"Sakura…"

"Hmmm?"

"Do ghosts dream?"

"Sometimes."

"What's your dream?" Sakura peered at him surprised that the boy wanted to know her dream. She smiled and nodded.

"In my dream I see myself in a beautiful room. It is covered with so many flowers and coloured windows. It looks like a ball room. Sweet soft music plays that I pretend to dance. Then a man comes, I could never see his face but I new he was safe. He takes my hand and we begin to dance, caressed by the silky flow of the music, and then…"

"and then what?"

"I wake up." she looked down. "But it's only dreams of fantasy, nothing more."

"I like your dream."

"Do you have one."

"No, my only dream is to be free of my responsibilities."

"I see." Sakura looked thoughtful, until suddenly she fell to the ground in pain.

"OW! Syaoran…help…me…" her body began to disappear, then the pain stopped and her body seemed whole.

"what happened? Are you alright? Sakura talk to me!" he was frantic as he held her cold body.

"It's ok Syaoran, I'm fine now." Sakura gave him a weak smile, but Syaoran was not fooled.

"What happened?"

"parts of the castle are being destroyed, it hurts so much." Sakura had tears of pain flowing down her cheeks. Syaoran carefully wiped them away.

"Come on lets go see what's going on." Sakura stood up suddenly. He gazed at her surprised.

"Ghosts heal fast."

Sakura walked him across his room and pulled back a velvet tapestry to reveal a secret tunnel. It took them to the side garden, where they saw the fountain being tarred down.

Sakura began to glow funny again, obviously experiencing pain. There a big man who had to be the leader was yelling to at the other men to tare up the garden.

"Is he mad that's a prised garden."

"I know." Syaoran groined, this was not going to be a good birthday.

"But sir are you sure?"

"Do you not understand English? I said DIG, IT, UP!" Sakura got mad so she pointed at the hose on the steps to the garden and made it come to the head man.

"what the hell?" the man looked at the house flouting in front of him, the others backed away in fear.

"Grrr wimps!" He grabbed the house, which started to tangle around his body flipping him up side down.

"Ahhhh! What are you standing there for! HELP ME!" The garden hose flipped him up again and he used the time to grab it. "HA! In your face." He held that's when the hose sprayed water in his face at a huge rush. He let it go and everyone watched in amusement as it chased hi around the garden.

"Sakura you just made my day." Syaoran turned to her. Sakura only smiled.

"Know you have a court jester." They both left.

*Too bad Meiling and Tomoyo missed that.* His thoughts were soon proven wrong when he herd giggles erupting along side of them. Sakura opened the velvet Tapestry to see Tomoyo and Meiling standing at the window watching the entire scene.

"Did you see that? I bet my Syaoran did that!" Meiling squealed. Tomoyo only nodded.

"Or maybe it was Sakura, this looks like her doing."

Sakura and Syaoran both walked out and tapped them both making them jump when they turned around.

"Oh Syaoran hi, did you do that?" Meiling pointed down.

"No Sakura did." Meiling looked at Sakura with jealousy. *I hate her so much.*

"Wow Sakura-chan, I think you made him wet his pants." Tomoyo giggled and smiled.

"I think I did Tomoyo-chan. I may have one this battle but I must win the war." Sakura had a look of determination. Eventually the hose stopped and the man yelled for everyone else to get back to work.

"What can you believe this guy." Tomoyo looked down angrily.

Sakura had fire in her eyes. "Then I'll get rid of them the hard way." Sakura burst into cherry blossom petals only this time instead of disappearing when they hit the ground, they burst into angry fire.

"Uh, oh she's really mad?" Tomoyo looked out and suddenly, Syaoran sensed something. Then he looked down.

*Is it possible! Is it a Clow card!* Syaoran watched in fear of the men

*May Clow himself, have mercy on their souls.*

Oh kami, that's an evil cliff hanger. Well I need reviews. Feel free to check my bio for further updates. In the next chapter, questions will be answered on why Syaoran could never sense Sakura and what's going to happen to those men in the Garden. JA! ^-^
