Crimson Red Wine

Chapter 1

The Normal Boy

Sakura dogged around the corner, as she ran in the morning daylight, sunshine playing with the features on her face.

'I'm going to be late, I'm going to be late!' she yelled frustrated in her mind.

She was up late last night slaying vampires, and let me tell you, it wasn't one of her bests. It would have been if Clay, this recent Vampire that keeps escaping her grasp and often giving off information told her something that disturbed her immensely and what troubled her more was . . . why.

All he told her was that she would finally end her slaying spree, that this time 'they' would get her, and get her bad!

But that's just it, this isn't the first time, people have threatened her all the time and she never took it seriously. And she never died, but the way he said it, with horror, laughter, and confidence, it freaked her out. She seriously had to talk to Tomoyo about this.

Sakura raced into her classroom with a very annoyed teacher fuming at her. "Sorry sensei!" Sakura apologized half heartedly and ran to her seat.

Next to her sat an extremely pale girl with powdery red lips, and unreal amethyst eyes. Her raven hair flowed over her shoulders and reached up to her waist. She dressed in all black, and her hood over her head, shading her face. That was Sakura's best friend, who ironically was a vampire, on one of the first weeks that Sakura was titled vampire slayer, some guy tried to attack her, but Tomoyo got in the way and took the bite for her, luckily, she was shorter, and he got her neck, and even more luck since he was only a quarter vampire, and the only affect on Tomoyo he had was, some features changed, She can't have a direct glimpse at the sun, and not expose her skin, and she always had cravings for blood, but Sakura only gave her animal blood, she wasn't about to go kill the innocent for her friend.

Sakura grabbed a piece of paper, and quickly scribbled something on it; she folded it up neatly and passed it over to her friend.

Tomoyo I seriously think something bad is ganna happen, u know Clay? Ya I know he can be a lying jerk but this time I don't think he was . . . and the weirdest think isn't that I'm freaked out, not by the treat, but that everything I think about it, my mom's last words keep coming into my head, u know the thing about "Beware of Crimson Red Wine"? And it's happening more frequently.

What should I do?

Saku

Tomoyo sighed and turned the sheet around and scribbled back a reply, she handed it back to her friend who read it quickly.

Saku, Saku, Saku, what have I told you about the lying son of a bitch Clay? And all that other crap, Sakura u are the best slayer in centuries, everyone thinks so! And u know it, there is no way anyone is ganna stop ur slaying spree.

As for that dream, you've always had those, how can they be more frequent, if you had them every night of your life?

Get a grip

Tomo

Sakura rolled her eyes, and started to scribble something back down.

Tomoyo! I'm serious! This isn't funny, and I didn't have that dream EVERY night! Just some nights, and I wouldn't fall asleep in the middle of the day and dream about it, and sometimes after, I see these amber eyes, its really freaky Tomoyo, u better not laugh!

Your murderous friend

Saku

She handed the note back over to Tomoyo who was shaking trying not to laugh.

Tomoyo got a new piece of paper and started to write when the door flung open, and their principle was standing at the door, with someone's shadow behind him.

He cleared his voice, "We have a new student that just transferred here from Hong Kong, and we want you all to treat him with respect!" He spat at them.

"This is your new classmate, Li, Syaoran." From behind the door stepped out a teenage boy, height around 6'3, short chestnut hair the almost hid her piercing amber eyes, his skin almost as pale as Tomoyo's, and a very well built body that made the girls swoon.

Sakura's eyes widened.

'Those eyes took awfully familiar . . .' but she had to admit the boy was handsome, very handsome.

Tomoyo leaned over to her and whispered, "I think my friend here just got a crush on the transferred student."

"Who?" Sakura asked anxiously to dense to understand what her friend was telling her.

"For the last time Sakura raise your hand!" The teacher yelled and Sakura shot her hand up, catching the gaze from the amber eyed boy, who started to walk towards her.

As he positioned himself behind her Sakura felt his cold glare burning into the back of her head. Sakura gulped, what was wrong with her, she has slayer dangerous vampires, vampires, and a 'normal' amber eyed boy was able to send shivers through her spine. This was 'insane'! But something told her that this 'normal' boy wasn't so 'normal'.

'How ridiculous! He's just a boy! What can be so un-'normal' about him!?' her mind shouted.

She stole a glance of him during class, he was starring at her. It scared her out of her wits. And it was 'just' a boy. Sakura shook her head trying to take these thoughts out of her mind.

By the end of the day Sakura was as grumpy as could be, because she had to deal with a annoying glare at the back of her head all day! Yup, that creep was in all her classes. Worst part is that they were supposed to have a test tomorrow.

Sakura smirked inwardly, not only was the boy new, but he spent all his classes staring at the back of her head, not paying any attention in class, and well neither was she. But no matter how bad Sakura was, she was almost certain that Li was going to fail worse then she was.

I mean, she does at least one or two notes in her folder. Or does she, it's amazing with all the things happening in her life she was still able to get good marks in all her subjects, excluding math, because her highest mark this year for math had got to be a 59%. And it's not like her teachers didn't try to help her, I mean they at least gave her 10 tutors, but all failed to put some sense in her mind, either because they stuttered, they made no sense to her, they explained it terribly, or because she had other things on her mind, supposedly vampires.

But it wasn't her fault that she failed, I mean she didn't have her father or brother to help her anymore, not one bit, since she had to move to Tokyo for her high school, well okay there was closer high schools, but this was top of the list, a must do! So she lives all alone in a small house (that her father bought her) in Tokyo.

When Sakura got home, she quickly did her homework, took a small nap, then got ready for the long night, that's eh knew awaited her.

Yay I'm done!!!!!!
