Black Eye Of The Tao Abyss

Chapter One:

Re-acquaintance With Little Wolf

It's been about a year since Sakura has transformed the last clow card into a star card. Shortly after that, Syaoran and Meilin had to return to China. After all this time, Sakura still has not heard anything from her far-away friends. A lot has changed since then, Tomoyo had moved, much to Sakura's disappointment, but they managed to stay in touch.

Sakura and Eriol have been going out for about three months now, but Sakura still couldn't forget Syaoran and his amber-coloured eyes and chestnut hair. All of their old arguments and fights seemed so silly now, even though at the time Sakura sure seemed to think it were reasonable.

"Brat, it's a letter for you..." said Touya, her older brother.

"Really?" Sakura asked as he handed her a letter in a light pink envelope. "...and don't call me a brat!"

"Whatever, it's from that Chinese baka friend of yours... Sayran is it?" Touya said, getting the name wrong on purpose. "It seems that he's really getting to know his feminine side."

"Shut up Touya..." Sakura muttered under her breath as she opened her letter from Syaoran.

Dear Sakura,

I know I haven't been in touch with you or anyone else for that matter. I've been pretty busy myself and I'm going on a trip to Japan soon. I can meet you at the airport on May 14th. I'll be staying in a hotel with Meilin and another friend who I think you should meet. Oh, and Meilin says hi as well. I have a feeling that this time I might stay longer than last time. I don't know why, but it seems that my mother really wanted me to be in Japan for a while.

Sincerely, Syaoran

P.S: I also have a present for you... well actually, three presents... one from me, one from Meilin, and one from my mother for some reason. The package should arrive one day after you receive this letter. Sakura wondered what Syaoran would have gotten her. She knew that there was nothing between them so she couldn't really expect anything much. She looked closely at the letter and noticed a lot of scratches near the sincerely Syaoran part. Where it now says sincerely, there seemed to have been the word love. Sakura used the time card on the letter and she couldn't believe what she saw. The page was blank. Then words started to form...

Dear Sakura,

I'm sorry I haven't written to you for so long. To tell you the truth, I couldn't bare to contact you because... well... I ... ugh... love you...

Sakura felt her heart start to flutter, but then the words started to get erased. Sakura thought that this was because this is what Syaoran had originally written before he eraised the words and wrote what was here at the present. However when the word sincerely began to take form, the word faded and was replaced with love. Then love faded and sincerely appeared and then sincerely faded and love appeared and so on. This would have been quite amusing to Sakura if the letter were not for her.

The next day, Sakura received a rather large package from the mail person (WOO HOO I didn't forget to put mail person instead of mailman I'm so proud...lol...). She couldn't wait any longer so she just ran upstairs to her room and brutally attacked the box (ok, so that's how I open packages, you got a problem with that?) until only three average sized parcels lay on her bed. She opened one and saw a beautifully crafted amulet. The amulet had two engraved pictures on it. On one side, there was a pink cherry blossom, on the other side; there was some kind of puppy-like animal with a light blue lily in its paws.

Sakura picked up a note that read:

Dear Sakura, I made this myself, I know that the stone has magic properties, but I never really found out what it can really do. I just hope you like it. Syaoran.

Smiling like a little girl who has just met Cinderella (I couldn't think of anymore examples... lol...) Sakura put on the amulet and started to open the next package.

"Huh?" Sakura pondered as she thought she saw the second package move by itself.

She opened the parcel slowly to unravel a black card. It looked exactly like one of her star cards but one side was entirely blank and the other was entirely black with a blue star in the middle.

There was a very short note, which told her to protect it at all costs, but nothing else. She thought that this card was probably from Yelan since Meilin would have written more about the card if she were the one who sent it.

The last packet turned to contain a small yellowy pink fan, which had pictures of baby birds on it and more cherry blossoms. Meilin's note was almost as long as Syaoran's letter from the day before. There was nothing really important in there except for Meilin telling her that she would know when the time comes for her to use this fan.

The day had come when Sakura, Eriol, and Tomoyo met up at the airport to wait for Syaoran, Meilin and the other person who was coming with them.

"Flight number 13a from Hong Kong has arrived..." the intercom buzzed

And there he was, standing near the exit gate from the plane...Syaoran. He looked much more mature than when Sakura had last saw him. He was much taller, he had a better-developed chest and there was something in his eyes that can make people back away from him. When he saw Sakura, he came over and hugged Sakura who was surprised but was only too glad to return the hug. The hug lasted a bit too long for Eriol's liking but he just shrugged away his jealousy as he shook hands with Syaoran.

"SAKURA!" shouted a familiar female voice as she turned to look into a pair of giddy red eyes. Beside the new arrival was.............
