What If....?

Chapter 2: New Beginnings

Two weeks after Jin landed in Korea)

A tall, red headed girl walked down the street wearing a new school uniform. She held a new book bag and was looking at a class schedule, muttering to herself. "Room 14C, ok I can do that...I hope." She kept on walking with her head down till she ran into something. She fell down and her book bag fell open, its contents flying all over the sidewalk.

"Sorry, I'm such a klutz," a young male voice said as a hand reached down to help her.

"Thanks," Jin said, dusting herself off. Then she looked up to see whom she had run into. All she could do was stare. In front of her was this tall, incredibly handsome, brown-haired young man. He looked to be about seventeen and he was wearing the same school uniform that she was. He had an 'I'm sorry' look on his face, but it was his eyes Jin was staring at; they were a beautiful shade of amber, warm yet with a strong 'I-can-take-care-of-myself' look to them.

"You ok?" he asked giving her a quizzical look.

"Uh..yeah..I'm fine," Jin answered as she quickly lowered her eyes, with a slight flush on her cheeks. "Oh no," she said as she saw her book bag, "now I'm going to be late."

"Oh, don't worry I'll help you," the boy said bending down to help her pick up her books.

They quickly got everything picked up and back in her book bag. "Oh, no look at the time, we only have two minutes to get to class," Jin said as she looked at her watch.

"Come with me, I know a short cut; this way," the boy said as he ran between two buildings and jumped the fence. Great, I just got here and I'm already getting into trouble. Jin thought as she followed the boy between two more buildings, they came around the corner to see the school. They hurried up the steps, "Thanks," Jin said as she ran in the school. They ran through the doors, "Maybe I'll see you again; hey, by the way, what's your name?"

"Li, It's Syaoran Li," the boy said as he ran down a separate hallway.

Jin stumbled in her run for a second I know that name, but from where...? She gave up trying to figure it out as she finally reached her room.

"Hello class. Welcome to a new year. I believe most of you know each other from previous years. But this year we have a new exchange student from the United States. Please say hello to Jin Poi."

It's her again. I guess that explains the accent. At least I'm not the only one in the class from another country. Syaoran thought.

There's Syaoran, I must have taken the long route to class. Jin thought to herself.

"Jin go sit down there next to Takashi. Takashi raise your hand so she can see you."

She went and sat down next to a dark-haired boy with eyes that looked closed all the time

"Hi, my name's Takashi. Did you hear the story about the exchange student that disappeared after her first day at scho..ow," he said as some girl with light brown hair hit him in the back of the head.

"Quit telling lies, Takashi, or I'll hit you harder," turning to Jin, "Hi, I'm Chiharu, don't pay any attention to Takashi's stories, he just tries to find some gullible person to believe his hooey. "

Jin smiled at them and thanked Chiharu for her advice.

"OK, class, please take out your math book..."

(Two days later as Jin walks home from school)

Uuggg, math is sooooo boring, why can't they come up with some better way to teach it besides trying to shove numbers in our head? Jin thought as she walked along. She passed the park that she saw everyday, but something was wrong today...something she couldn't put her finger on. She decided to take a walk through the park. As she was walking she heard a noise off to the side of the gravel path. She decided to investigate. She hid behind a tree at the last minute on an impulse. What she saw before her would make someone take a closer look at his or her own sanity. A girl, slender and tall, with auburn hair and emerald green eyes stood in the center of the clearing. She was wearing a frilly pink outfit with long evening gloves and a hat. In her hands was a staff, it kind of looked like a bird beak on the end with wings behind it. Behind the girl was the boy that Jin had met earlier, Syaoran Li. What is he doing here? she thought. Syaoran was wearing a green outfit with long sleeves. He had a sword in front of him. Behind the girl and Syaoran, was another girl and what looked to be a flying stuffed animal. The girl had long black hair and a camcorder in her hands. She appeared to be recording Syaoran and the other girl. All of a sudden Syaoran pulled out what looked like an old piece of paper with symbols on it. He said something Jin couldn't hear then threw the paper up and hit it with his sword. Then lightning came out of the card to strike something Jin couldn't see from where she was. The girl then yelled something and hit the air with her staff. Something was being sucked in to the area in front of her staff! Then everything calmed down and a card appeared in the girl's hand.

Jin turned to run but tripped over a protruding root, she let out a yelp of pain, realizing now that it was too late to get away unknown. The stuffed animal flew near and yelled, "Over here." Syaoran saw Jin on the ground and yelled to the girl with the staff, "Sakura, use sleep, now!" The girl, Sakura, drew out a card and hit it with her staff. A little fairy-looking thing came out of the card and flew toward Jin.

The fairy flew over Jin and she yelled out, "No, Please, No!!!" as she collapsed asleep on the ground.
