Sweet Blindness
Prologue
'Finally!' An excited girl with waist length auburn hair and large emerald eyes breathed excitedly as she neared the tall, historical looking building with it's grand looking architecture, and the sweeping lawns where several students were sitting around on, enjoying a nice chat. The front doors of the building was opened wide while hundreds of noisy students slowly walked through, every one of them busily chatting carelessly with one another.
'Sakura-chan!' The girl with the fawn colored hair turned to see a tall girl running over from the large front gates where a limousine was quickly disappearing from sight. The girl called Sakura smiled, and waved at her friend as she rushed over happily with a miniature digital video camera slung around her neck like a necklace.
'Ohayo! Tomoyo-chan!' Sakura greeted when her friend finally made it over. Tomoyo smiled, her amethyst eyes twinkling as she twirled her fingers around a few strands of her raven colored hair. It has been several years since Sakura last saw Tomoyo. In the time between, Tomoyo had been in America studying school there along with her mother whose base company had moved to Los Angeles.
'My Sakura-chan, you have grown!' It was true, Sakura had grown perhaps a foot since Tomoyo had last seen her, and far more radiant then she was then. However, just like when Sakura was still only ten years of age, Sakura still stood now seventeen years later with much of her innocence and childhood playfulness.
'So have you,' Sakura pointed out, marveling at how much Tomoyo had grown, and how beautiful Tomoyo had become. Tomoyo laughed as Sakura walked a circle around her, observing every part of her best friend. Sakura smiled when she finished, commenting on how Tomoyo had grown into a woman. Tomoyo just laughed and filmed Sakura's expression as she told her that she too, had grown into a stunning young woman.
Sakura and Tomoyo continued their reunion chat as they climbed the stairs leading up to the front entrance of the building, went through the building following the crowd in front of them, and finally arrived at the desks where their names were checked off, and were given timetables for when their classes were and their room numbers. Sakura and Tomoyo continued to chat while inspecting their timetables as they went outside again on the other side of the building and wandered around the university where they were going to be studying at.
'So what are you studying, Tomoyo-chan?' Sakura asked as they walked past a large fountain of a beautiful marble mermaid singing on a rock with water sprouting out of her tail which was pointed up high. Around the mermaid were several other water underwater fountains where jets of water were being projected to the sky.
'I'm studying for a degree in psychology,' Tomoyo announced, 'I thought that was going to be a nice subject after I finished psychology back in Los Angeles.'
'Really? You can help me with my psychological problems then.' Sakura said brightly, 'I'm studying commerce.'
'Oh, economy freak are we Sakura-chan?' Tomoyo asked with much raising of her eyebrows.
'Yes, well I did business management and economy when I was in high school, so decided I should continue with it.'
'Ne Sakura-chan,' Tomoyo's eyes were suddenly sparkling as her voice took on an innocent, curious tone, 'do you have a boyfriend?'
'Me, boyfriend?' Sakura shook her head, 'I don't have a boyfriend.'
'Aw, Sakura-chan, I'm sure you have a boyfriend.' Tomoyo pouted.
'Oni-chan and otou-san wouldn't allow me to have a boyfriend while I was in high school, so I'm going to get myself a boyfriend here if I find someone.'
'Aw! So cute Sakura-chan!' Tomoyo smiled, filing Sakura once again.
Somewhere not so far away…
'So this is where I'll be studying huh?' A man with chestnut colored hair that was slicked back by large amounts of gel, and amber eyes that were hidden behind his thick glasses murmured as he stood outside an impressive looking building with its sweeping lawns and grand air. Hundreds of students were currently wandering around the campus, either chatting busily with a friend, or walking purposefully alone. As for him, he walked on by himself, holding his suitcase in his right hand and several books in his left. Most of the students wandering around now wouldn't be holding suitcases, it was too early to be moving in. But he had just arrived from Hong Kong, and he hardly had a place to stay for the night other then his room at the university Dormitories.
'Hey watch it geek!' A guy with dark hair yelled irritably as he brushed past the boy holding the suitcase. The man apologized quickly, turning back quickly to continue his journey to the orientation room where he would get his name checked off, receive his timetable, room number and keys. His amber eyes flashed behind his thick glasses as he continued to move down the path, nearing a flight of stairs. A silence suddenly overcame the area, and the man noticed as people started to clear out of his path, moving as far away from him as they could.
The man was surprised; this was a strange maneuver. By now, everyone was standing at least ten meters away from him, gathering in huddles on either side of him. He stopped suddenly, sensing the tension in the air. Then…
'What do we have here,' he turned, hearing the masculine voice coming from behind him to see a tall, muscular man with gray eyes and black hair standing only a meter or so from him.
'My name is Li Syaoran,' the man with the chestnut hair said good-naturedly. In his mind, he knew that this man standing before him probably didn't care for his name, but wanted to bully him or something of the like. But Syaoran stood his ground and tried his best to look innocent and weak, after all, he had promised his mother that he would not get into trouble, and that was a promise he was going to keep. More like, that was a promise that was made by Syaoran's own pride; he wasn't just going to keep his promise, he was going to prove himself to his mother.
'It looks like another, typical geek.' The crowd burst into laughter while Syaoran felt his face burn, but kept his ground, 'just a geek! Oh, I see the geek is already moving in two weeks before term begins, is it because the geek has no home to stay at?'
Syaoran chose not to answer that question, but stared at the man's eyes.
'Oh, so he really doesn't have a home. Oh, so what does little Syaoran have inside his suitcase huh?' He reached over to grab Syaoran's suitcase, but Syaoran resisted. Syaoran wasn't a weakling after all, he had trained for years how to wield a sword, many styles of martial arts. Syaoran was a lethal weapon, when he wanted to be.
'I'm sorry, I have to go and get my name checked off.' Syaoran said, turning and running into the building. Behind him, he heard the man growl something along the lines of "you'd better run geek." He sighed, this was going to be a few very long years.
