Chapter 1: The promise
Sakura's 18th birthday and she's so damn excited about the boy's promise. The party is all set and they just waiting for Sakura Kinomoto, the only daughter of Fujitaka Kinomoto and Nadeshiko Kinomoto, the party is quite extravagant but her parents didn't mind at all after all they're one of the richest and well known family in Japan. Sakura slowly go down in the stairs, petals of Sakura flowers are scattered everywhere. Everyone look at her, she's so beautiful and she just smiles to the people around her, violins are playing and her gown look beautiful at her well of course! Her friend Tomoyo did it. The gown is a feminine delight in sherbet shaded, striped taffeta and tulle. The drop-waist, strapless bodice is edged at the neckline with a dainty fabric ruffle. A cluster of wired ribbon loops together in soft green and ice pink to frame the delicately colored silk flower of palest pink, ivory and green. The extra-full ball gown skirt is made of layers of pink and green tulle and crinoline overlaying a taffeta lining of soft sage green. She looks at the people around her when she feels someone looking at her attentively.
"Where is he?" Sakura thought to herself looking at every man in her party when a guy with messy chocolate brown hair caught her attention.
"Who is that guy? Why do I feel that I know him?" Sakura thought to herself as she looks at the mysterious guy.
"The birthday celebrant Sakura Kinomoto!" the emcee of the party said and everyone applause cheering at her but the guy just look at her.
The party is very enjoying some of the teens are dancing and chatting but the guy, he isn't he's just talking with her father doing business maybe.
"Stop looking at him Sakura he isn't him…he should be here maybe he's just around here, better start looking at him hey! wait a minute I didn't know him now great! he should approach me now." Sakura said to herself as she touches the necklace around her neck actually, it's the necklace that the boy give to her.
"Hey! You should enjoy yourself." A voice said she look at her back and saw a pair of amethyst orb. The two cousins hug each other.
"Tomoyo! Thanks for coming I thought you wouldn't come you said that Auntie Sonomi wants you to come in England to be with here." Sakura said after the hug
"Nonsense! I would come it's my favorite cousin birthday! Mother will understand it… So did you meet each other?" Tomoyo ask teasingly
"No" as Sakura's smile form into a frown.
"Hey! Don't be sad maybe he's just around looking at you" Tomoyo said as she look at the surroundings and find the mysterious guy looking at them.
"Maybe he's the one" Tomoyo said looking at the direction of the guy, Sakura look at him.
"No! I doubt it he's talking with my father that means he's one of business man who want to be associate with my father." Sakura said convincing Tomoyo and also herself.
"Yeah! He's one of the many businesses mans who wants to associate with my father…"
Sakura thought trying to convince herself.
"But why I can't get my eyes off him" but her thinking stop when she see Tomoyo going to the mysterious guy direction.
"Tomoyo! Where are you going?" Sakura ask as she follows her cousin.
"Let's go and meet him, nothing will be wrong if we talk to him." Tomoyo said and wink at her.
"But Tomoyo we will just put ourselves in shame." Sakura said as she takes Tomoyo hands to stop her but she just drags her.
"Hi! I'm Tomoyo Daidouji and this is my friend Sakura Kinomoto and who you may be?" Tomoyo ask the guy politely whose drinking wine, he put the glass down.
"I'm Li Syaoran nice to meet you…. and Happy Birthday to you Sakura." Li said and smirked, when a voice from there back laugh.
"Sakura, Tomoyo I never thought you will be interested to meet Mr. Li"
The two look at the voice and saw Fujitaka.
"Father I thought your talking with Mr. Chuan for the future business." Sakura said sheepishly.
"Uncle, how are you?" Tomoyo ask politely smiling
"I'm fine Tomoyo and how's your Mother Sonomi?" Fujitaka ask back leaving Sakura and Li in silent.
"She's fine in England doing business of course."
"Oh! Before I forget Li, this is my daughter Sakura and my niece Tomoyo." introducing them proudly.
"I just meet them, Mr. Kinomoto and there quite interesting." Li reply looking at Sakura very interested, Sakura just smile a little conscious about herself.
"Sakura this is the son of your godmother, Li Yelan."
"I never thought Auntie Yelan have a son. I never saw him in any gathering of Li family." Sakura said to her father.
"I'm in England studying there." Li explain his self
"Since childhood?" Sakura ask a little interested. Li just nod.
"Your parents are really counting on you, being the heir of the Li clan and the next president of Li corp." Fujitaka said smiling
"May I excuse my self ladies and Li I better talk with some business clients of mine, please enjoy your selves." Fujitaka excuse and pat Sakura shoulder then smile.
"Sakura, I will just get some refreshment I'm really thirsty." Tomoyo said and leaving Sakura and Li alone a real uncomfortable silence surrounds them when Li ask her something.
"Are you one of the survivors in Maple building 5 years ago?" Sakura look at him shock but Li just look at her plainly actually emotionless.
"How did you know? My family and some close friends are some of the people knew about it." Sakura ask now this is shocking unless he's the boy she's with.
"Because my mother is your godparent, so that's why I knew it all along." Li said smirking and leave Sakura alone thinking.
"Hey! Sakura why are you looking like you see a ghost?" Tomoyo ask teasingly but Sakura act like she didn't see her.
"Hey! Earth from Sakura?" Tomoyo said snapping Sakura from her deep thought.
"Tomoyo why?"
"What! Why? Your staring like you seen a ghost!"
"Let's go! and enjoy the party Tomoyo!" Sakura said cheerful as she drag Tomoyo in the dance floor.
