'Ello! Why thank you all for those wonderful reviews!! :D Um… what was I going to say… If I think of anything, I'll let you guys know.


Sounds of a battle reached her ears. She turned to the sounds.

A young man, with thin-rimmed glasses was fighting another with short messy brown hair. Li-kun.

Sakura started to go there but was interrupted with Li-kun crashing into her.


Snow Becomes Spring by Strawberry Promises

Chapter Three: Meeting Li-kun


Sakura barely got out an 'oof' when the weight that brought her down, lifted. As soon as Sakura had regained consciousness, she started to apologize.

"I'm so sorry, I should have known not to interrupt but I have a message for Li-kun and…" she trailed off when she noticed that no one was listening to her.

Sakura watched as Li-kun launched himself at the other young man again and the two fought. Li-kun fought with martial arts but the other used a staff. He obviously had the advantage.

Sakura couldn't watch any longer. They were hurting each other. "Stop!"

The one with the glasses and blue hair stopped and Li-kun halted as well.

"What do you want?" Li-kun asked rudely.

Sakura trembled.

The other young man much have noticed her nervousness because he had a reassuring smile on his face and gave her a kind look.

Sakura squared her shoulders. "I have a message to Li-kun from Li-san."

Syaoran stared at her, not impressed. "Yeah, so what is it?"

Sakura's eyes grew wide. She felt her pockets and rummaged through her little tote bag. "I-I don't know." Sakura's face burned and she turned away.

Syaoran's mouth grew into a scowl. "What a waste of time. C'mon Hiiragazawa, I wanna finish this fight."

Sakura stared at the ground, dismayed. Her first mission and she failed. She was about to start on the trek back to Li-san when a kind voice stopped her.

"Please, miss, don't let Syaoran lower your spirits. He's just feeling grumpy because I just beat him." The boy who was fighting Li-kun was talking to her.

He had short blue hair and thin-rimmed glasses. He had a refined look about him and a kind face. A lot like Tomoyo.

Wait. Did Li-kun call him Hiiragazawa? As in Eriol Hiiragazawa? The one Tomoyo had been crushing on for over 3 months??

"Are you Eriol Hiiragazawa?" She blurted out.

He looked mildly surprised. "Yes, I am. Why was there a message for me as well?" He teased her.

"Oh, no… I was just wondering." Sakura responded with a light blush.

"Come on, Hiiragazawa! I haven't all day." Li-kun said, impatiently.

Sakura started. She had almost forgotten he was there. "Gomen for interrupting, Li-kun and Hiiragazawa-san." Sakura was about to bow, but Hiiragazawa-san stopped her.

"Just call me Eriol." He said, kindly.

"A-Arigatou, Hiira – Eriol." She smiled and then a horrible thought came to mind. "Ano, Li-kun? Can I call you Li-kun? Or should I can you Li-san? Or Syaoran-san? Or Syaoran-kun? Or --"

He cut her off. "Call me whatever you want, just get out."

Sakura half pouted. Mou, he was being so mean!

"Gomen, Eriol-kun. Li-kun." Sakura bowed again and walked out.

When Sakura was out of ear-shot, Eriol turned to Syaoran. "She's pretty cute." He commented.

"No, she isn't." Syaoran snarled and settled back into the position he was in before Sakura interrupted. (AN: That would be on the floor, wouldn't it? XD)

Eriol's eyes twinkled beneath this glasses and he smirked. He fell into position as well.

The two started to fight. Eriol had once again had Syaoran on the floor.

"If I had my sword, you'd be dead, Hiiragazawa!" Syaoran spat.

"Ah, but you don't." He scarcely moved and Syaoran was back on the floor.

"You need to practice a bit more, Syaoran."

"My ass," Syaoran lunged again.


"Oh, Li-san, I found Syaoran but you didn't tell me the message that you wanted to tell him." Sakura said.

"Message? I asked you to call him to me." Yelan gave Sakura a peculiar look.

Sakura gaped. "I'm so sorry! I forgot, while I was looking for him, he wasn't in his room, battle hall, and the girl, jealous, made me forget and -- " Sakura babbled incoherently.

Yelan laughed and told her to slow down "It's alright." She had a thoughtful look on her face. "You say he's in the battle hall? Fighting with Eriol again, I presume."

Sakura nodded.

"Well, if it's not too much trouble, could you go and tell him to come up, then?" Yelan asked her.

"No problem at all, Li-san, gomen for the misunderstanding." Sakura said, secretly dreading to go back down there and having to face Li-kun's wrath.

"It's quite alright." Yelan smiled and Sakura smiled back, a bit too widely.

"Alright, I'll go tell him now." Sakura bowed and Yelan noticed a slight tremble.

I guess she met him already, she thought.


Sakura slowly made her way to the battle hall.

She opened the door and stepped through the threshold, cringing a little bit, remember what happened last time.

Well, you know the saying, history repeats itself?


Syaoran braced himself for the impact. No matter how much he tried, he could never beat Eriol while he was holding that staff and Syaoran had only his fists.

The impact of the hard cold floor never came. Instead, he hit something soft.

A small yelp was cried and Syaoran got up hastily.

He looked into the eyes of that girl from before.

"You again," he said with disgust. "What do you want?"

"Oh, I got the message for you." She bowed quickly. "Li-san wishes your presence."

Syaoran hmphed. "Whatever."

Eriol walked up to Sakura. "Hello again."

Sakura bowed again. "Hi."

Syaoran rolled his eyes and walked into the bathroom.

The sounds of running water filled her ears and Sakura waited patiently, talking to Eriol.

Syaoran came out, dressed in normal jeans and a t-shirt, a change from his fighting clothes.

His hair was slightly wet, and Sakura presumed he had just taken a short shower.

"Let's go." Syaoran spoke sharply.

Eriol frowned a bit but didn't say anything.

"Alright." Sakura bowed to Eriol again and walked out with Syaoran.

Yelan… what are you planning? Eriol thought.
