Chapter 1: My Boring Life That Is

"Arigatou Gozaimashita!" a honey brown haired with emerald eyes girl bowed as she thanked her customer.

Hi, my name is Kinomoto Sakura. I'm 16 and I'm still in high school. I live an ordinary life, as an ordinary girl. I work part time at a fast food restaurant in a small city of Tomoeda just to spend my spare time and find more experience. Well, okay, so far I always have good grades and achievements, also a very well reputation. I have a wonderful family, and very good friends. So what do I miss? Everybody says nothing, they say I'm perfect. Lots of them call me 'Miss Perfect'. Oh they really have NO idea about me. I'm so bored. Hai, I'm SO bored of my life. Everyday going to school, doing school stuff, hang out with friends, work part time, it just goes like that every – single – day of my life. It's just… so – cliché. I want an adventure or something. An adventure or something that will change my life forever.

"Sakura, you can call it a day if you want, you've already worked hard," the restaurant manager told her as she waited for more customers to order. "Well, umm… I think I will, thanks Akagi-san. Mata ashita!" Sakura said then headed to the back room to change and go home.

She walked back to home, taking the direction she always did every single day. She could even walk with her eyes closed but still reached her house for she too knew it well.

Reaching home and sighed, she opened the door and greeted. "Tadaima!" she yelled but found no answer until. "Finally home, kaijuu," her brother replied from the kitchen. "Isn't it okaeri, and would you sometime call me imoto-chan or something nicer, oh God," she said tiredly. She wasn't in a mood of arguing with her brother. He always teased her and they would start fighting. "Well, maybe. Sometime," Touya said. Ignoring him, Sakura headed to her bedroom to change.

The next day…

"Oh, and I went back to Hong Kong and I was like, 'oh my God! This is my hometown? How it has changed a lot!'" a group of girls giggled as they were hearing their friend, a girl with long black hair in two ponytails and crimson eyes, telling her story. "So you stayed there for two weeks then went straight here?" a girl with long curly black hair and amethyst eyes asked excitedly. "Oh, I went to the Philippines for a week and then yes, straight back here, my friend," the girl said.

That is Li Mei Lin. She's one of my best friends. She came from Hong Kong and she travels around the world her whole life. She has experienced different things and found lots of adventures in different countries. I totally envy her. Her life is all interesting. I love hearing all her around-the-world stories but envy her at the same time. Oh She just got back here in Tomoeda from England. She was here in her fifth and sixth grade, we were very good friends back then, well we still are until now, for we still contacted each other the following years.

"So how long will you stay here, Mei Lin?" Sakura asked. They were in school break and they didn't waste time talking as much as possible for they missed each other a lot. "I don't know, maybe quite long. You know I love being in Japan, and that's why I always stay here the longest," they laughed.

"Oh, and my auntie said my cousin will come here too, so I guess I definitely wont go anywhere until he's here," she said.

"Your cousin? Who's it? Oh and is it a guy or a girl?" Rika, a girl with curly short hair asked. Mei Lin laughed. "it's a guy, and a cute one at that," she stated. The girls gasped, except Sakura. Mei Lin laughed harder. "What's the matter, miss perfect? Aren't you excited just like the others?"

Well, no, I'm never interested in guys. Well maybe I just haven't found the right one yet. But I think there isn't any.

"No," she said, "but I like to know if he will go to this school?"

"Oh definitely," Mei Lin said. "Well, tell us more about him, Mei Lin!" Chiharu said excitedly.

"I've no much to say about him, cuz I haven't got in touch with him for soo long, mom said he is such a reaaally bad boy now that they decided to transfer him here, but I knew him well back then when we were children, we used to practice together. He's always been my faaavorite cousin."

Sounds of roaring engines, people chatting and music booming from some parked cars filled the night. A boy aged 16 was leaning against his green RX-8 folding his arms across his chest. His brown hair was messy and his amber eyes looked intense. He was looking at something unparticular, ignoring the girls around who were drooling over him and trying to get his attention.

"Hey Syao!" a fat boy with spiky hair called his friend, the boy who was leaning against his car. The boy named Syaoran looked up to him said nothing. Some other boys came up to them.

"I heard you'll be transferred to Japan?" the fat boy asked. Syaoran only smirked.

"That's true? Oh man you're so busted eh?" he continued. "Hey, it's not that bad ya know, Tokyo's cool city, and hot chicks spread eeeverywheeere!" the other boy commented.

"It's not Tokyo I'm going to. And I'm not interested," Syaoran stated shortly. The boys cheered. "Same old Syaoran eh? Not interested I heard?"

"You heard right. Well, he even turned the hot Chang down, what d'you expect?" they cheered again. "Shut your fucking mouths, here they come!" one of the boys warned.

"When are you going there man?" the fat boy asked as they walked to a group of some cars that just braked. "Next week," Syaoran replied shortly as he stared at the group of cars. "Well, you can still have like three races until then, 'aight?" Syaoran only smirked and didn't reply.

"Y'all really get your asses down 'ere then, setting yourselves into lose, how stupid," the fat boy said to the drivers of the group. "Shut up fat ass, you better speak for yourself. For we're gonna break your winning records in no time tonight," one of the drivers, looked like the leader, replied.

Syaoran and the others smirked. He then walked back to his car and started the engine. The fat boy smirked and faced their opponent. "Eat your words, I warn ya," he said and turned to Syaoran as the leader of their opponent also got to his Lan Evo and started the engine.

"Ya ready, Syao?" he asked. "Always," Syaoran said.

"Beat the hell out of 'em, make 'em eat their fuckin words, I know you'll beat 'em Syao…"

"K, shut up, I'll win, now move away," Syaoran said, his engine roared. He moved away and went to the spot between two cars that were going to race. Taking position, he began to countdown. People who had stopped what they were doing long ago when the opponent group arrived were excited as ever. They were going to see another breathtaking race of the famous street racer Li Syaoran.

The two cars took position and waited for the countdown. As the count became zero and they heard "GO" they sped up.

Syaoran let his opponent moved faster and in second the Lan Evo was in front of him. He just smirked and drifted at the first turn. He sure hell was gonna win this race as minutes later he sped up, he kept up with his opponent and they were in a very short distance. Not so long after, at the third turn they were in the same level. But moving faster, Syaoran was now in front of the Lan Evo and sped up, giving no chance for his opponent to keep up.

Some of people were watching from the third turn and they cheered as the cars passed and Syaoran was then in the front so easily.

"He wins! Only in the third turn!" the guy yelled to his cell phone. A smile formed on the fat boy's lips as he heard that from his own cell.

Sakura walked along the hallway of Tomoeda high. It was school break and she was heading to the cafeteria as she heard a bunch of girls giggling noisily. Seeing it was her friends she came up to them.

"Hey guys, what's up?" Sakura asked, wanting to know why they were giggling like crazy.

"Oh hi miss perfect," Chiharu and Mei Lin greeted her, the others were still giggling.

"Don't call me that! Tell me what's going on so I wouldn't think you guys are crazy. Oh stop it!" she said as they changed the giggles into laughs. A confused Sakura frowned and an embarassed Rika whose face had been red getting redder.

"It's Rika," Tomoyo started, smiling. "Well, it's like this, Sakura, when we were walking along this hall just now," Mei Lin continued her but was interrupted, "shut up Mei Lin!" Rika said, her face still red, and she was the only one who wasn't giggling even smile.

"When we were walking, Terada-sensei passed us and…" Naoko continued "shut up Naoko," Rika shouted, and "secretevily, well, he thought it was secretively, well, he winked to Rika but…" continued by Chiharu "shut it!" Rika shouted louder and "Oh God it wasn't at all, we all saw it!" Tomoyo squealed "Grrrr…" Rika groaned. They giggled again at poor Rika, taking in all her predicament.

Sakura smiled and was going to giggle like the others when, "Don't you even!" Rika warned her and walked towards the cafeteria in distress. They all continued giggling and followed Rika.

Well, that was my friends for you. They would love your predicament if it's about someone you like or have a crush on. They will tease you and everything. Oh they? Ok, I'm included sometimes hehe… oh anyway, Rika has a crush on Terada-sensei ever since. I know, he's a teacher, but hey she's 16 and Terada-sensei's like around 24 and age doesn't matter does it? Oh look at my mom and dad. The're just alike ne?

"Hey guys, would y'all like to come with me tomorrow?" Mei Lin said as they entered the cafeteria which was full of other students. "I'm gonna pick up my cousin at the airport, you know, the one I told you last week. I want y'all to know him so we'll all be friends."

"I'm in!" Chiharu squealed, knowing that her cousin was a boy. "Chiharu! You've already got Takashi! And I'm coming too, Mei Lin, I've got nothing to do tomorrow" Tomoyo said. "And you! You also got Takumi!" Chiharu said. The others just laughed. "You guys?" Mei Lin asked.

"I'm coming," said Naoko. "Rika, Sakura?"

"No… I," Rika started but was cut off, "oh I shouldn't've asked you, you're going on a date, how bout you Sakura?" Mei Lin said, making Rika poked her head. The others laughed.

"Sorry, Mei Lin, I have to work," Sakura said.

"Well, I might ask Takashi and Takumi if they'd like to go then," Mei Lin said and she went for two boys, one with black hair and the other with red hair.

The next day…

Mei Lin, Chiharu, Tomoyo, Naoko and Takashi waited at the airport for the arrival of Mei Lin's cousin.

"I think you shouldn't have brought so much people just to pick up your cousin ne, Mei Lin?" Tomoyo brought up a topic.

"Oh, so what's the prob? I just wanted accompanies…" Mei Lin said, smiling sheepishly as she looked around to find her cousin.

"Hey, I think it's him!" she suddenly shrieked. "But with whom is he…" she said as two boys, one with brown hair and amber eyes and the other with blue hair and navy eyes, walked up to them.

"Long time no see, Mei Lin," the blue hair said, with a smile on his face, while the brown hair showed no expression.

"ERIOL!! What are you doing here?" Mei Lin shrieked for the I-don't-know-how-many-times at the airport bringing more attention that there already had. She ran to him and hugged him around his neck. The blue hair laughed and said, "can't I come here? Well, I just accompany little Syaoran so he wouldn't escape," he said smirking at the brown haired boy who glared at him in return.

"Syaoran!" Mei Lin shrieked, again, and ran to the other boy and hugged him around his neck as well. "Urghh… Mei Lin…" he said uneasily, trying to get her off. "God, it's been too long," she said.

"Guys, this is Li Syaoran and Hiiragizawa Eriol, my cousins," Mei Lin introduced them. They all bowed to each other. Tomoyo looked at the boy named Eriol and smiled shyly as he bowed to her. "Oh this is Tomoyo, Chiharu, Naoko, and Takashi," Mei Lin said pointing each one of them.

"It's a pleasure to meet y'all," Eriol said to all of them but looking directly at Tomoyo.

Sakura walked out of the fast food restaurant she was working in, making her way to her house. She always passed a block that was not too far from her house since the restaurant itself wasn't so far from her house either.

"Hello there, Sakura," she heard a boy's voice and she turned around.

Oh great, Kawasaki, the least I expected. I'm not being rude or anything, since he's one of my classmates, but he has kind of… guts you know, I don't like the way he looks at me. oh yeah, he sometimes walks pass this block for this is one of the ways to his house as well, but I don't like it when he "says hello" when there was only me and him along this block.

"Err… hi there Kawasaki, heading home?" Sakura replied not-in-the-mood tone.

"Yes, and unexpectedly meeting you here," he said, walking closer to her. He had a short black tidy hair and his blue eyes eyeing all over her.

There his eyes looking all over me again, I so hate it.

"Just got back from work?" he asked, his voice so low but Sakura could hear him for he was kind of close.

"Yep, and I want to get home quick," Sakura said, smiling. But instead of saying goodbyes or anything, he went closer and grabbed Sakura's arms.

"What the…" Sakura stuttered. But he, answered nothing, went to her neck. "Kawasaki, what are you doin?" Sakura yelped. "Kawasaki! NO!" Sakura almost screamed, trying to get off him as his hands traveled all over her tightly and too strong for her to get off.

"Stop it you bastard!," she cried as he tried to get to her lips. But before he reached it he was pulled away.

"I thought we heard clearly that she said no," came a husky, deep, and cold voice. Sakura whose eyes were closed, feared of what was going to happen opened her eyes and saw a boy with messy brown hair and intense amber eyes were glaring as cold as ever to Kawasaki.

Kawasaki who had been pulled from Sakura glared back at him and spat, "who the hell are you?"

"Err… a hero?" he said, calmly. He stayed still, his arms folded on his chest. Just then Kawasaki came up to him and tried to punch him on his nose but the boy quickly grabbed his fist and punched him instead. Kawasaki wiped the blood from his nose and went for the boy again tried to give another punch when Sakura yelled, "NO, STOP!" but he again missed the punch as the boy tilted his head lazily, avoiding the punch and gave Kawasaki another punch on the stomach which made Sakura went further to them and stopped right in the middle of them, but covering Kawasaki from the boy.

"STOP please! He's a friend of mine," Sakura yelled.

The boy looked at her in disbelief. "I thought he was gonna take advantage of you," he stated, his voice still calm although he looked rather shocked.

"I don't know, mind your own business, sir," Sakura stated straightly not even thinking.

"Fine, for a note, he was going to punch me first, and I will never try to 'help out' a stinkin unthankful bitch as you," he glared at her coldly and left them.

Sakura was frozen by the words, but she couldn't think of anything else to say, and there she was left with Kawasaki again, alone. She faced his swollen face and slapped him hardly, leaving a mark on his cheek.

"You! Bastard! You thank God I stopped him whoever he is!" she said before running off as fast as she could towards her house, her mind confused.

Oh my God, was I too cruel? That boy's right, he was trying to take advantage of me but what did I do? Sweep him off when he just saved me! and without saying thanks or anything! But his words… Hey, I did have to stop him, or Kawasaki would really be beaten off, even he deserved it a lot. But he called me what? Well, the unthankful one is right, but I can't accept that! I should apologize and say thanks indeed, but how could I find him? I'm sooooo stupid…

Sakura stormed right to her room leaving her dad and brother confused. She tried to calm herself down as guilty feelings towards the boy became worse.

I should say apologize and say thanks. Really.

"Kinomoto-senpai, the principal called you," said a girl from the junior class.

"Okay, thanks," was all Sakura said and went straight to the principal's office, wondering what she had done wrong.

Oh, I just can't get my mind off him… he was right indeed, and I was too stupid, reaaaaly stupid. How could I be? Just because I haven't known him? Or that I thought he was a stranger that would be no better than Kawasaki. But he saved me, for God's sake I AM STUPID. Now what does the principal want? Have I done something wrong?

But you didn't have to do something wrong to be called by the principal…

"Well, Miss Kinomoto, take a seat, please," the principal said. Sakura bowed and did what she was told.

"Is anything wrong, sir?" she asked.

"Well, no, anything musn't be wrong for me to call you here must it? In fact it's because of your goodness, Miss Kinomoto," he said. "Since you are our best student here, and you have good grades, reputation, and achievements and all,"

Yes yes, go on, I've known the rest

"Well, we want to ask you for a help. I know you're a helpful person, and all the good in you, and that's why I'm asking you here. It's a simple but might as well be a hard job too," he continued.

Ok, I'm really curious. What's he talking about? Oh don't make me think of anything else at the moment! Please! I'm too stupid for all that! you know what I mean!

"What is it, sir?" she asked.

"I asked you to help a new student," he said. "He's just transferred here today, and he would really need much help and guide. And the best person here I could think of is of course, you Miss Kinomoto."

"You mean like show him around the school and stuff?"

"Well yes, and umm… other stuffs too… you see, he is kind of lack of attitude, and they say sometimes rude. So I want you to help him out with that. And along with his educational program."

WHAAAAAAAAT??? HE MEANT I HAVE TO TAME A WILD BOY OR SOMETHING? WHAT THE HELL DOES HE THINKING?

"Your teached said you're kind of interested in psychological problems, and maybe this would be interesting to you," he said, his voice sounded trying to convince her.

"Well, I'll try, sir," Sakura said.

What can I possibly say?

His face suddenly lit up and he smiled. "Arigatou Miss Kinomoto," and he bowed his head, which Sakura quickly returned. "Oh, I guess it's him," he said when there was a knock on the door.

The principal said "come in" and a boy with brown hair and amber eyes came with a frown on his face.

Sakura totally startled.

He's the boy!!! Oh my God, HE'S THE BOY!!!

"YOU!" Sakura almost yelled in disbelief. What a small world indeed, well in fact, Tomoeda's a small city.

"You too," the amber eyed boy replied boredly. He was as cold as before and his face still showed no emotion.

"I see you two've known each other?" the principal asked, looking at both Sakura and the boy.

"No!," they both quickly replied, but Sakura yelled and Syaoran, still, in a cold voice.

The principal didn't seem he believed them. "Well, time is money, now, Miss Kinomoto here is our best student, so she will help you with all the things, and she will also guide you throughout the school, so next stop: your class," he spoke to Syaoran. He only nodded showing he understood and then the principal guided them out of his office towards their class.

Great, now all I have to do is to apologize and thank him, I'll do that when I show him around the school.

The principal opened the class door and they all got in.

"Excuse us, Mizuki-sensei, there's a new student for your class here," the principal said to the teacher.

"Well, why don't you introduce yourself, Mr. Li," the principal continued as they stood infront of the class including Sakura.

They waited as the boy, still, no expression cleared his throat and spoke really shortly with a husky, deep voice, "the name's Li Syaoran."

They rest of the people waited for him to say any other words but seemed like it was all he wanted to say.

Li? OHH… LI???? LI, MIGHT HE BE MEI LIN'S COUSIN?

Sakura searched for Tomoyo or Chiharu and found them sitting at the back. She gave them the questioning 'is he Mei Lin's cousin?' look and seemed like they understood and they nodded.
