I stood before the Vampiric Council, before all the 1st Ancients. And I was in deep shit.

"And what gives you the right to give the Goddess a name?" Lady Pandora, which would be my older sister since she is a 'child' of Marius.

"I did not know, Pandora-sama. I thought she was just a human child…"

"Besides, The Goddess of Wind and Water, Tomoyo, asked him to name him. He could never defy a Goddess' request." Marius came up from behind me. "Besides, I think we can use this to our advantage."

I looked up to see Marius looking at me then he turned away to look back at the darkness of shadows.

"Since Syaoran has named her, he must be by her most of her life while growing up. If she get close enough to Syaoran he will be able to talk her into giving into our request."

I glared at my Master. How could he give me such a job. To brainwash a little girl-

Whispers and gossip spread like wild fire. Then a figure whispered to Lady Pandora then she cleared her throat and everyone became silent.

"Alright. Syaoran Li, you will persuade the young Goddess of giving into our request. If you agree to do this task we, Members of the Vampiric Council, will grant you the status of 1st Ancient."

I wanted to say no. I didn't want to sway Sakura's mind, I felt in my heart-

'Syaoran, please, this is the only way I could save you from trouble.' My eyes locked on to Marius.

I bowed, loyalty to my people.

"Hai, Pandora." I was kicking myself for this.

"You did well, my son." Marius and I walked the dark streets of Paris as we headed to one of Marius' pads.

"To trick a Goddess? If I am not just going to Hell for being a vampire…what makes me even thinking to ask for mercy when I lie to a Goddess?" I snapped.

"Syaoran think of our people and Sakura's. Humans know our existence. They thinks we evil people and knows we have been developing through out the ages. We can walk into the sunlight during most of the day. They think we want to take over our race. Pagans are easily to hide, since it's more of a 'religion' that they can hide under it. But us, we're another creature. A threat to man-kind."

"Marius-sama, I understand our trouble our people are in! That is very clear to me, but to trick a child…no a Goddess! What do we call ourselves? Our people came from the hate and cold killings of Cain. Cain was punished by God and made into what we are today. I care not if we live or we die. You are older, you are wiser. So are the others. You all complain how eternality is horror able but why not just at noon go into the sun? End it all! Or do you and the other Elders still scared of death?" We stopped in front of the house and I turned to him. "The reason why we're all here is because the Elders were blood thirsty people. Who wanted nothing but power and to escape death. Because you are all afraid. Well I am not. I say let the humans come and find us."

From then not it did not go so well with Marius and I. He hardly spoke to me most of the time but he knew I was right. The years went by fast, before I knew it, it was Sakura's 7th birthday. I brought her anything from the outside world she had no idea of. What to do mean, you ask?

As I mentioned before, Sakura lives and is raised in the Light Chamber. It's about four times bigger as a football dome. She has trees, plants and animals of all sorts. She knows really nothing about the outside worlds, like Rome or Egypt. Or the cultural places like America or Japan. So I decided to bring the world to her.

"Syaoran-kun!" Her voice sang with an Japanese's accent as she ran towards me.

When she got to me I scooped her up and held her close to me.

"Sakura-Chan, Happy birthday!"

"You remembered!" She giggled as she lend her forehead against me, her beautiful green eyes staring into mine lovingly.

"I always remember, I would never forget you." I kissed her cheek and set her down. "Today I thought I would spoil you."

I moved to the side and servants started to bring arms full of things and starts a pile on the Crescent moon table.

Sakura squealed with delight as she watched the sight. Lady Tomoyo and Master Eriol came over to him as Sakura danced around the table, trying to imagine what is under the wrappings.

"Went on a shopping spree, Syaoran-kun?" Lady Tomoyo smiled warmly, as always.

I nodded. "A lot of things were hard to find since I wanted her to have some things from my time period."

"Ah, just like a son of Marius, a true historian." Eriol nodded.

I smiled. "I want Sakura to know everything about the outside world. I want to teach her everything that I can."

"Well good luck, she will enjoy it." Lady Tomoyo bowed and so did Master Eriol.

Then the two greeted Sakura with open arms. Sakura bounced from Tomoyo, to Eriol then almost flew into my arms.

"Syaoran-kun, aigato! But it is too much!"

"There is never enough for my Sakura-chan." I looked down lovingly at her.

Sakura smiled at me, tugging at my green kimono as she pulled me to the table.

My heart seemed to beat back to life. Sakura was so beautiful. Her smile, her laugh brought me more content than anything in the world.

I let her pull me and she pointed to a pink huffy bike, the handle bars tied up with pink ribbon.

"What is that machine, Syaoran-kun?"

"It is called a bicycle. In Japan, when I was a child, it was so crowded and driving from school to home and to work that we all rode bicycles. It is also a sport in America at one time, where boys and girls do amazing jumps and tricks. But also my time I use to ride mine for fun. My friends and I would race against each other." I walked over and touch the handle bars.

Flashes of my childhood in the foster homes came to my mind. My Kami…how much I missed those times.

"Teach me Syaoran-kun! Teach me please how to ride!" Sakura begged.

"Of course, I will." I laughed. "But first you need something to wear."

Sakura blinked and looked up at me. Sakura wore a white sleeveless gown, which the pattern seem to look like feathers. It came together at her chest but as it past her hips it spread down, causing the back turn into a white flowing train. But to cover her legs and knees is another loose skirt of white fading into a icy blue. I went into the pile and pulled out a golden wrapped rectangle box. I handed it to her and Sakura blushed.

"What is wrong with my gown?"

"Nothing! It is just because the dress will get in the way of the petals." I smiled nervous as she puffed her cheeks for a moment in annoyance.

Master Eriol pulled up a chair for Sakura, "Thank you Eriol-kun!", and she sat down and ripped open the gift.

It the box was a pink and purple short/short sleeve shirt set. On the front of the shirt was a picture of a cartoon character on it.

"WOEEEEEE!!!" Sakura squealed again as she blushed. "Kawaii!?"

"You like it? It's shorts, I thought it would be easier for you to wear while riding the bike."

"Thank you! It's adorable! Tomoyo-chan!" Sakura got up and ran towards her nest.

Lady Tomoyo followed and when they returned Sakura looked like a normal, everyday girl from the 21st century. I then opened another packed and took out a pink helmet and elbows and knee pads. I explained what they were for and how to put them on. And before you knew it Sakura was riding the bike like she was a pro.

When she finally got off the bike she opened the rest of her things: I got her mountains of books about countries and their past histories. There were picture books of places around the world. Tons of clothing from each country. Blank books to start her BOS and her diary. Toys. A music player and with mini cds to play songs of old and knew.

Sakura was excited, she even forgot to blow out the candles in her cake. Once Lady Tomoyo and Master Eriol said goodnight and left, I walked Sakura back to her nest.

There was a little house, which one of the walls wasn't there that you could see in. There in the middle of the huge room was a bed covered in blankets, pillows of all shape and sizes. A canopy of curtain was covering the opening.

I scooped Sakura up and brought her inside with one of the books. She giggled sleepily as I laid down on her bed, with her against my chest. She pulled a blanket over us and snuggled again me.

"It seems you got me more books than anything."

"Well…I want you to learn and know other places are out there side this chamber."

"Chamber?" Sakura's head jumped up. "We're not in a chamber….are we?"

"Of course we are. It's all artificial, besides the plants and animals."

I didn't brace myself for this one. Tears was in her eyes, she sat up on her knees and cried.

"The wind is fake? The rain is fake? The sunlight is fake?"

I sat up with her, and held her close. I growled and thought of Rhysani. She had to be the one telling Sakura she was in a real place.

" Take me to the outside world, Syaoran-kun!" Sakura shouted among her tears.

"No…besides I was told you could never leave here. But I will promise you…" I kissed her forehead. "As long as you do your studies, and when you turn 15 I will take you out of here. I will show you everything. The world is not like this chamber. There are trees and planets. But not peaceful. There are noisy cities and people polluting. And animals are very rare."

"Their polluting my planet?" Sakura looked up at me.

"Not always no. They are always finding new ways to make the Earth cleaner. Every year in America they have what's called the Big Help and children all around that country goes to parks, homes, and streets just to clean up. Not all people are bad, big there are more cities and less forests and fields now then their were in my time."

Sakura sniffled and pushed me back to lay down. Sakura then curled back into my arms.

"When I come out can I talk to them?"

I thought about this. If Sakura talked to the other. How would mortals react?

"I do not see why not."

Yay! Another! Woot! I am actually keeping things updated this time. Well hope you all enjoy!
