White Houses

Chapter Two: Concert at Sixteen

Disclaimer: I don't own CardCaptor Sakura or White Houses. Hopefully, you know who do.

December 31. The last day of Sakura and Tomoyo's stay in Shiro. The day of disasters. Syaoran didn't want Sakura to leave, even though he never told his feelings for her. He didn't have the courage to do so. Eriol took Tomoyo's departure well; he knew that one day his beloved would leave. Meiling was quite angry that her cousin never confessed his love to Sakura, but was greatly saddened by her two friends departure. The day Sakura left, she had a BIG fight with Syaoran, which then she left Shiro with an angry heart. The day Tomoyo left Shiro, she left Shiro with a saddened heart and the promise that she would see Eriol, Meiling, and Syaoran again. But the two girls never did see their friends again. It was an empty promise that was soon forgotten.
-Two years Later-

Sixteen year old Sakura Kinomoto tossed her long auburn hair over her shoulder. She pulled up to her best friend's house in her brand new silver Lexus SC 430 convertible that she had gotten as a late birthday gift. Her best friend, Tomoyo, ran out of her house with a suitcase and a purse in her hand. She quickly got into the front passenger seat of the car, next to Sakura, who was driving.

"Let's go Sakura! We've got a performance to go to, my friend!" Tomoyo urged her cousin and best friend.

"We're performing in Shiro, right Tomoyo?" Sakura asked, setting the standard GPS to Shiro.

"Yes, yes, yes, we are! We show at 6 o'clock tonight." Tomoyo answered impatiently.

Sakura stopped fiddling with the GPS and stepped on the accelerator. The two teens drove out of Tomoeada, heading south, to a seaside town they had forgotten about.

-Somewhere else on the same road to Shiro-

"Eriol! Stop playing with my sound system and pay attention to the road!" a sixteen year old Chinese girl screamed from the backseat of her red Toyota Selica (sp?) The boy she was yelling at, her black haired, glasses wearing cousin, Eriol Hiragizawa, quickly withdrew his hand away from the volume knob and turned the car off the highway into the seaside town of Shiro. An amber eyed boy seated in the front passenger seat, read the map, giving directions to his easily distracted cousin Eriol.

"Syaoran? Syaoran!" Eriol called.

The amber eyed boy, named Syaoran Li, looked up from his map and said, "What do you want, Eriol?"

"Which road do I turn on to get to Yelan's summer house?"

"I dunno. Maybe the one that says 'Eriol is an idiot because we've been here so many times and yet he STILL doesn't know the way to Yelan's house'?" Syaoran answered seriously.

In the backseat, Meiling started laughing her head off. Between her laughs, she managed to say, "It's Lotus Lane, Eriol!"

Eriol turned red and turned on Lotus Lane, pulling up to the stately green house that belonged to his aunt.

"Dear Lord, I thought we'd NEVER get here." Syaoran muttered out of the corner of his mouth as he exited Meiling's car and started unloading the trunk.

-Two hours later, on the road to Shiro-

Sakura and Tomoyo were on the highway, five minutes away from Shiro, listening to the tunes on the radio. The GPS called to Sakura, "Turn right on Exit 36." Sakura complied, and entered the seaside town of Shiro. By this time, it was 5 o'clock, an hour before their concert at Midori Square Cafe.

"Turn on Lotus Lane. Your destination is 3504 Lotus Lane." the GPS told Sakura in it's calm voice.

Sakura pulled up to the white house with pastel blue-green shutters framing every window in the small two story home. They exited the car, and quickly unloaded everything. Banned by Kero to use her magic, Sakura and Tomoyo managed to quickly unpack and clean the small house within thirty minutes. The two teen quickly changed into their performance outfits, jeans with their favorite flowers sewn twining up the left pant leg and red cotton hood shirts. They wore their long hair up in a ponytail, secured by a blue scrunchie. Tomoyo and Sakura left for Midori Square Cafe, where they would be performing songs from their popular album at the teen hangout in Shiro.

-Midori Square Cafe-

Meiling had read on a flyer attached to their door that the popular teen band, Wish, would be performing LIVE TODAY at Midori Square Cafe. Obviously, Meiling just had to go to this concert. So at 5:55, Meiling dragged Eriol and Syaoran down to the concert, only to find it packed. But being good at getting what she wanted, Meiling manged to find a table for three in front, dead center of the stage. Syaoran wasn't too happy at being dragged around by his demanding cousin to another stupid concert, but he decided to stay for the whole three hours anyway. Eriol, on the other hand, was more than delighted to see this band LIVE because he obviously was a BIG fan of the beautiful Tomoyo Daidouji. Everytime he heard her name, it would ring a bell in his memory but he could never remember where he'd heard it before.

The lights dimmed and the concert began.

So what did you think? White Houses is coming to an end in about two or three chapters. I think it's my worst fic, but hey, that's my opinion. To you, it maybe my best fic, but the only way I know that is through reviews (hint hint). PLEASE! TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK! IT'S THE ONLY WAY TO CONTINUE THIS FIC AT THE PRICE OF ANNOYING MY BROTHER! Oh well, I'll continue it 'till the end.

Ja ne!
