Author's Note: Hey there! Hehe here's the chappie that I promised! Just got back from holiday. Stuck in an island so I couldn't update. So so soooo sorry! Thanks sooooo much to those that reviewed. Love you guys tons!
Okay I noticed my mistake for not making the myth part clear.
However, it also been said that the one who has been chosen has a short lifespan. This is because, the source one's power is their life. Having this ability enables them to have everlasting youth, never ageing.
Okay this means that the chosen one probably wont even live up till 50 years old or so. The everlasting youth thing means that even though they're probably 40+ years old, they wont look old. This means that they wont have wrinkles and stuff. Kinda like the elves in Lord of The Rings where they are always beautiful though they're 100+ years old. Hope this makes it clear. Alright now back to the story!

Chapter 2: The Beginning
14 years later..January
Tomoeda, Japan.
The sun was once again shining brightly, conquering the darkness. Melody of the birds chirping awakens the people of Tomoeda Village. In a little cottage, lies asleep the beautiful flower of Tomoeda, Sakura Kinomoto.
A/N: She's still 16 because her birthday hasn't past yet. She's suppose to be 17
At the age of 16 she has already grown into a lovely young lady. Her hair is the color of auburn, just like the tint of sunlight on autumn leaves. She has fair complexion with lightly tanned skin, the perfect combination. Of course her body was stunning, curves at the right places and her bust was in the perfect size for her small frame. But the most captivating part of her appearance was her natural emerald eyes. They were the mirrors to her soul. They captured her youthful innocence and the pure kindness that she held. She was the catch, and every man that came across her knew it.
Though she might be the dream girl that every man wished for, but she is still the same old cheerful carefree Sakura.
Downstairs
The scent of delicious food filled the small living room. Its none other than Fujitaka Kinomoto's cooking. Though he's in his early 40s, he's still attractive.
Peeking out of the kitchen, he spotted a yawning and messy haired Touya. Seeing the sun shining brightly and the birds chirping happily, he decided it's about time to wake Sakura.
"Touya, could you please get Sakura-chan? Breakfast will be ready shortly," He said returning to the kitchen.
"Sure dad, no problem" Touya grinned.
Whenever Touya accepted a task happily, it was clear that he was up to no good. He's probably scheming on how to wake Sakura in the 'best' way. Snapping his fingers and his face instantly glow, an idea has stuck him. He quickly went outside to the well and filled a bucket with its icy cold water. Touya quickly rushed upstairs and he gently turned the doorknob.
"Kaijuu" he said in a singing voice. "Its time to get up" he grinned.
"Bubbly bath, hmm warm and nice" Sakura mumbled while hugging her pillow even tighter.
Touya gently pushed her only to find that she wouldn't budge but stir slightly. Without bothering to wake her up another time, he held the bucket above her head and….
SPLASH
"HOEEEEE!"
Sakura's scream shaken the little cottage abit and caused a little earthquake downstairs. Upon hearing this, Fujitaka just sigh and thought of what his son could have possibly done this time. Even the birds in the trees nearby the cottage flew away. It was the beginning of another lively day in Tomoeda.
"TOUYA! YOU ARE SO DEAD WHEN I GET MY HANDS ON YOU!"
Touya dropped the bucket and quickly exited her room. He ran downstairs for his life for her knew the icy cold water didn't 'cool' her down but instead 'heated' her up. Not able to contain it any longer, Touya burst out in laughers.
Sakura on the other hand quickly changed out of her lingerie and cleaned herself. She stomped down the stairs fuming with her fist clenched. Once she spotted Touya laughing rolling on the floor she rushed over to him and stomped on his feet with all her might.
"Seriously Touya, cant you wake me up in a PROPER way" she said to him with satisfaction written on her face.
Touya hopped around with a feet and winced in pain. "Ouch ouch, you are seriously a monster. It hurts ya know" Touya replied her.
She stuck her tongue out and mouthed to Touya 'Serves you right'. Seeing all these commotion Nadeshiko left her garden and entered the cottage. She shakes her head at the sight of the two siblings quarrelling. She gave a peck on Sakura's cheek and hugged Touya.
Finally finished cooking, Fujitaka brought out the food and set it on the table. "Everyone, breakfast is ready. Hurry up now before it gets cold" he called out to his family.
They gathered at the table and seated themselves down. It was once again potatoes and vegetables. Though it wasn't much but no matter how plain it was, Fujitaka always makes it tasty. Everyone sniffed the aroma and instantly the growling of the stomach could be heard. Without and further delay, they said their prayer and dig in. They were poor but they never complained because they lived a happy life.
"Dad and mom, im going to help out at the village's clinic. Will be back by lunch time," Sakura informed them as she finished her last pea. A/N: Just imagine that in the entire village there's only one clinic alright. So everyone goes there.
Nadeshiko looked at her daughter, she smiled at her remembering what a special child she is. "Alright dear, please be careful and don't overwork yourself," she said with tint of worry in her eyes.
Sakura got up from her seat and hugged her mother. "Don't worry mother, I'll be fine" she ensured her.
Touya looked at Sakura with concern in his eyes. Though he's always picking on her, he is very protective of her. He loves Sakura dearly and would never let anyone harm her. "Kaijuu, don't forget to take some Kuraga and Lifa herbs along with you" he said.
"Sakura-chan, do promise me that you wont use your powers unless it is really needed" Fujitaka asked her as he held her hands tightly. True that Sakura has amazing powers, but the Kinomotos have learned from Yukito that her source of power is her life.
She looked at her family and thanked god for blessing her with them. Her sparkling emerald orbs glazed with tears. She wiped it off and smiled at them. "I promise. I love you all so much. Take care, I'll be off now"
Sakura took her white cloak and two pouches with her. She bid goodbye to her family and exited the cottage. She inhaled the fresh morning air and exhaled. Ah, what a lovely morning she thought.
Village's Clinic
Sakura gently turn the doorknob and entered the small house. Cling cling. Whenever someone enters the clinic, the sound of the wind chime clattering can be heard. She pushed her hood down and gently pushes the strands of her hair to the back of her ear. As she travels into the small house, she finally reaches the hall. There sat a young man tending patients.
He's the same age as Touya, 20 years old. He had silver hair and piercing aqua blue eyes. He's tall and slender with fair complexion. Many girls in Tomoeda go gaga over him, he is after all simply gorgeous.
Sakura slowly approach him with a bright smile plastered on her face. "Yukito-kun, im here to help again" she said to the handsome man.
A/N: Im following Yue's description, that's why Yukito has blue eyes.
Yukito is the village's only doctor. He's other hobby is researching about the chosen ones..the apostle. Though people say it's a myth but he's determine to find out what those who claimed it was true said. He has a big book about the apostles and unintentionally, he became Sakura's personal adviser on her powers.
Yukito stood up and gave Sakura a quick hug. He planted a soft kiss on her lips. "Its nice to have you here again." He winked at her.
Sakura blushed, ever since she knew Yukito, she had a crush on him. It was on her previous birthday she confessed to him. Very much to her surprise, he too liked her. Though they're not officially couples yet, they do give each other simple kisses.
"Ah, Sakura-chan you're here to help again. Thanks to you our village hasn't been facing a lot of deaths due to diseases," said an elderly woman.
"Yumeria-san! Im just using my powers to help those who really needs it" she answered. Sakura still remembers the incident when she almost lost her mother. Thanks to her gifted powers, her mother was saved. Ever since then, she was determined to help others who suffer from incurable diseases.
"How if is your flu? Getting any better?" Sakura asked the elderly woman, Yumeria.
"Oh my, im afraid it hasn't gotten any better" Yumeria replied.
Sakura reaches for one of her pouches and opens it. She took out a few Lifa herbs and stuffed it inside a little bottle. She then asks Yukito for some other herbs along with some mixture. She mixed everything together and poured the solution into the bottle.
"Here, take this and drink it. This should make you better" Sakura handed the little bottle to her. Yumeria took it with gratitude and said thank you. She exited the clinic and was on her way home.
Sakura looked around the hall and noticed quite a number of people were there. She turned to Yukito and just smiled at him. She mouthed to him 'I love you' and quickly hurried off to tend to other patients.
"Looks like its another busy day" she whispered to herself.
Meanwhile in Li Kingdom, China.
On the royal throne sat a lady in her 40s. She was a beautiful woman with long black silky hair tied in a neat bun. She had coffee black eyes with seriousness in it. Her lips were in straight line, showing no emotions. I must get hold of he or she, she thought.
She looked around and spotted a young man about 18 years old. He had lovely azure eyes and his blue hair nicely gelled. He wore spectacles, which made him looked very intelligent and mysterious. Nonetheless he was definitely to die for.
"Hiiragizawa, summon Prince Xiao Lang for me now" she ordered sharply.
Eriol bowed and obeyed her commands. "As your wish, Queen Yelan" he replied politely. He exited the grand hall and continued to fulfill his task. Now what did that prince do this time.. he wondered.
After going through several gardens, walking pass countless doors, and going up few flights of stairs, he finally reached his destination. He stared at the grand wooden door decorated with a golden wolf in the middle. He took a deep breath and knocked on the door.
Knock Knock
"Prince Syaoran, the Queen summons you" Eriol said as he stood still waiting for the Prince to open his door.
"Argh! What does she want!" the voice behind the door snapped.
Eriol sighed wondering why must he go through this every time. "I have no idea, your majesty"
Instantly the door flung open revealing an unhappy man. He had intense amber eyes and his hair was a dark chocolate, messily falling over his eyes and framing his beautiful face. His skin was tan, probably from working out in the sun for hours at a time. His body was lean with muscle, thanks to his training as a Prince.
Syaoran glared at Eriol with cold eyes. He's in a bad mood today, looks like its not a good day for Eriol. "She better have a good reason for calling me out" he grumbled.
Eriol escorted Syaoran to the hall where Queen Yelan would be sitting in the throne. He quickly left the hall as soon as he was dismissed.
"You wanted to see me, mother?" Syaoran asked coldly.
Yelan's black coffee eyes bore into Syaoran's intense amber eyes. "Yes, I want you to get someone for me." She told him plainly without any emotion.
He glared at her, Great now im some servant of hers? He cursed silently. "Who is it if I may ask?" He asked politely not wanting to piss her off.
She was deep in her thoughts while Syaoran waited almost losing patience. Just then she smiled wickedly "The Apostle"
