Thanks for the reviews neopetmaniac and MeilinBaby13. Don't mean to b selfish but I was expecting a little bit more. Well this is my 3rd fanfic. Guess I need to heat things up. Forgive me if this chapter is a little off than the first. I'll try to heat things up.
Again CCS does not belong to me. It belongs to Clamp.

Chapter 2 "So Your Name is Sakura"
After the battle, the group of guys began their journey back to their headquarters along with Syaoran. The walk took no longer than a mere 20 minutes. The gang took many turns and walking through many corners which made Syaoran lost track of his direction. As they arrived, they came across an old worn out building big enough to cover a whole block. The building looked to like it has been abandoned for a while. Before Touya and his gang could open the entrance, he turned his head towards Syaoran's direction.
"Are you sure about this kid?" "You can turn back now if you want to" asked Touya
"I have nothing to lose" said Syaoran coolly.
"All right then, just remember that you had a chance to back out from this" said Touya in a serious tone.
And with that Touya began to open the hard steel metal door to the building. Inside of the buliding revealed what Syaoran never thought he would see. Inside there were not only 50 people but hundreds more then he thought. They were all around his age. He knew that he just agree to join a gang but he didn't imagine there would be this many people. All of them looked like professional fighters even though they're just standing around hanging with each other.
Syaoran still had his eyes widened at this. Both Yukito and Touya noticed this and couldn't help but smile. "Never expected this didn't you?" said Touya with a sly grin.
"Now Touya..." said Yukito. Yukito then approached Syaoran standing next to him placing his hand over his shoulder. "It'll be all right, I'm sure you'll fit right in" assuming that Syaoran was worried. Syaoran turned to face Yukito. He didn't know what it was but he felt that he could trust this man. (Don't worry, I'm not making a Syaoran & Yukito coupling. There will be no Yaoi coupling yet. Ok, I just gave away too much. Just forget about what I just said and keep on reading the story.)
"It's not that" said Syaoran. "I'm just surprised at the amount of people here." "You did say that you were part of a gang, weren't you?" asked Syaoran curiously.
"Well you see---" but before Yukito could finish what he was about to say Touya cutted him off.
"Don't worry, I'll explain things later. Now lets just go inside and I'll introduce you to everyone."
Done with their conversation, Touya's group and Syaoran walked into the building. The inside looked nothing like the outside. The structure was amazing. Syaoran couldn't believe that there was such a building such as this. Gazing at all this from the entrance, on the left and right side were held with many doors to what Syaoran assumed were rooms of everyone in the building. Each floor had a balcony connecting each room on both the right and left side of the building and a flight of stairs to pass through each floor. Each floor were filled up with rooms that went straight up to the top and last floor. But the wall across the entrance was different. It wasn't filled with rooms but stood a fancy chair engraved in gold and a dragon statue spiraling around the chair with red velvet cushions. Above the chair was a huge red banner with a golden scaly dragon which looked like the gang's trademark.
As Touya and Yukito arrived at the throne with Syaoran standing right by Yukito's side, all eyes have been on the three. Syaoran couldn't help but feel nervous from all the attention. The other 3 guys left their master alone with Yukito and Syaoran.
"Welcome back Leader Touya!!" shouted out a girl in the crowd
"I knew you could beat the Vipers!!" said a guy. The whole crowd gave a big round of applause
"Now now everyone, thank you for welcoming us back. It has been a short but severe battle against the Vipers. Me and Yukito appreciate you all for your kind greetings. But please give Yukito and I some time to straighten things first and we'll continue to discuss our results with the Vipers. Talk amongst yourselves everyone." Touya ordered.
"Yes Leader Touya!!!" replied everybody.
"Now then Syaoran, I'm sorry I might be able to finish our conversation earlier but let me help you with the arrangements here" replied Touya. Touya turned his head towards the crowd of young adults and teenagers looking for someone. Syaoran was confused at what he said.
With confidence standing before everyone he ordered "I call Daidouji Tomoyo and Hiiragizawa Eriol for their presence!" said Touya loud enough to get their attention.
Approaching them were a boy with light blue eyes with dark navy blue hair and a girl with plum grayish hair and amethyst eyes. (Sorry but my vocabulary is low for the moment. Don't worry, I'm not foreign or anything who has a hard time with English.)
"You called us Master Touya?" asked Eriol
"Is there something we can do for you?" asked Tomoyo
"As a matter of fact there is." said Touya. "I was hoping if you could help Syaoran here settle in with the rest of the gang. It's his first day here and I seem to have to take care of other things first so I can't help him at the moment. You both understand right?"
"Yes. Leave it to us" said Tomoyo and Eriol in unison. Both of them are surprised to have said that at the exact moment. Both stared at each other and gave each other a mega smile.
"Man its creepy the way you two always do everything at the same time." said Touya with a little fright (lol! Imagine him being scared.)
Eriol approached up to Syaoran placing his hand on Syaoran's shoulder. "Shall we go now, Syaoran is it?" said Eriol.
"Yes and it is Syaoran. Li Syaoran." said Syaoran a little more calmer but still keeping his cool.
"Well Syaoran-kun, let's go find you a room" said Tomoyo.
On the way, Syaoran eyed the two with curiosity. They both seemed to be kind people. Both seemed to be the same age as he is. 16 that is. He turned his gaze towards the girl with plum purple hair. She seemed like the type who would always keep on a smiling face who also looked like a very observant person but would sometimes tease and scheme. Next he gazed toward the navy haired boy standing next to the girl. He assumed this guy was the same as the girl. Schemeful and always putting on a smile. But the guy scared him a lot more than the girl.
As Tomoyo and Eriol walked side by side with each other and Syaoran behind them, they can both sense that they're being watched. Syaoran didn't stop gazing at Eriol and still had his eyes on him with curiosity. Eriol noticed this and turned around facing Syaoran.
"Really Syaoran, I didn't know you were that way" said Eriol chuckling.
"Wha--?" said Syaoran confused just now realizing what he meant. "What the---?! No!!! I'M NOT LIKE THAT!! I WAS JUST TRYING TO SEE WHAT KIND OF PERSON YOU ARE BY OBSERVING YOU!!" said Syaoran with his face beet red angry at Eriol's comment.
"Sorry Syaoran but I'm taken." said Eriol who couldn't stop laughing at the situation. "Right? My dear Tomoyo?" ( Yes I made Eriol and Tomoyo a couple. If you guys want more romance between the two in this fic, don't b afraid to ask and if you're a Tsubasa fan like I am here, maybe just maybe both will b paired up in the manga.")
"Yep" said Tomoyo as her lips made her way to Eriol's cheek giving him a light peck.
Eriol chuckled once again. "Really Tomoyo not in front of our guest." Eriol spoke in a low voice in Tomoyo's ear making sure no one heard whispering seductively "We'll have plenty of time to ourselves tonight if you know what I mean...."
"Oh really Eriol......" replied a gigling Tomoyo.
"AHEM!!" said Syaoran interrupting the moment (Sorry for those who wanted the moment to last longer but we do want to get up to Syaoran and Sakura don't we?)
"Aren't you a real crank?" said Eriol amusingly.
"Really let's get back to helping Syaoran-kun. Here is your room, lucky for you it happens to be on the third floor." said Tomoyo pointing to an empty room. Inside was an empty bed which looks to be brand new, a table and a closet fit to store his clothes and any sort of weapons despite the size.
"Oh, how unfortunate Syaoran-kun's room here is only three doors away from HER room, isn't it Eriol?" said Tomoyo with a glint in her eyes. ( Yes you can guess who HER is [CruellyInnocent smiling evilly hahahah...]
"Yes it is...." said Eriol also with a glint in his eyes. They both exchanged glints, laughing evilly in unison.
Both now had their gaze towards Syaoran looking at him with an evil smile plastered on their faces. This scared Syaoran intensely. Millions of sweatdrops formed on his head. His heart beated faster and faster by the minute as he couldn't take any more of suspense. He couldn't help thinking that the couple before him was planning something for him.
"Well I think you can take it from here Syaoran" said Eriol
"Yeah you don't need our help for now, now that you've settled in a room of your own" said Tomoyo.
"But if you need someone to talk to or some friends, me and Tomoyo will be happy to do so. "What do you say, Syaoran?" said Eriol extending his hand waiting for Syaoran.
"Uhh... sure why not" said Syaoran shaking his hand.
"Great you can call me Eriol"
"And you can call me Tomoyo."
"Oh that's right Syaoran, be downstairs on the first floor by seven. Every day at seven the whole gang gather together with Touya for a meeting so remember Syaoran, be downstairs at seven." said Eriol.
"Sure" said Syaoran relaxing on his new bed.
Tomoyo and Eriol made their way out leaving Syaoran alone and thinking.
"What a day" Syaoran thought. "Those two can really scare the shit out of you." as he said shuddering.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
7 o' clock on the First Floor
(Again asking for forgiveness. Forgive me if the description of the scenery sounds confusing. I'm hungry right now while I'm typing this and I'm dying to get to the part where Sakura comes in. Now I really said too much. On with the story everyone.)
On the first floor over hundreds of teenagers and 20-year olds gathered in the huge room waiting patiently for their leader to show up. Over at where Tomoyo and Eriol stood they look over at the figure appraoching them.
"Hey Syaoran you made it" replied Tomoyo
"Yep and with 10 minutes to spare. Are you really that afraid of Touya and not trying to anger him from being late?" said Eriol in a cat like face enjoying teasing Syaoran.
"Can't you just control yourself for a minute?" said Syaoran giving his most scariest glare.
"Sorry it's a habit Syao-chan" said Eriol. ( What do you think of the nickname. Just came up with it. Thought Eriol would be the one who says it, it really suits him to say it.)
"Don't call me that!!" growled Syaoran.
"SHH!!! Everyone be quiet!!! Here comes Leader Touya!!!" said a guy.
On stage before the whole crowd was Touya and standing next to him was Yukito.
"Everyone thank you for your patience. Yukito and I did promise to fill you all in on how we are doing against the Vipers. To be honest with the rest of you, we weren't doing so well at first."
"Oh no..." said a girl with concern.
"Unbelievable" said a guy.
"You said it" said another guy.
"Please everyone.." said Yukito. "Let Touya finish."
"Thank you Yukito, as I was saying we weren't doing so well at first but!.... things turned around as I was in hand to hand combat with Kei. He almost finished me off but someone here in this room jumped in and save my life."
"Someone saving Touya's life?" said a guy.
"Really I never thought anyone could possibly..." said another guy
"Touya's always the best in combat out of all of us." said a girl.
"But I wonder who could it be." said another girl.
Touya gave a gaze at Syaoran. Syaoran saw Touya staring at him and cringed at this.
"But I will respect that person and not give away that person's identity just yet." "So everyone that's about it for today's meeting. If any of you have any questions or comments ask now or we'll continue our celebration."
"No?" Then enjoy yourselves everyone!!!!" exclaimed Touya
The crowd applauded and cheered loyally at their leader. Everyone went doing what they wanted to do. Same thing went on with Syaoran, Eriol and Tomoyo. They continued talking and getting to know more about each other. Syaoran kept on with the conversation until not something but someone caught his attention. It was a girl.
She simply made her way across the room trying to find someone. Syaoran noticed this. The girl had auburn honey colored hair with deep rich emerald green eyes. Syaoran eyed the lovely figure. She was wearing a pink spaghetti string shirt revealing a bit of the top part of her cleavage, several silver lined and a black choker and black leather pants with purple highlights or glow(whatever you call it, my brain is weakening. need food...) tight enough to reveal her lovely slender figure finished off with black high heeled boots. She was only simply just simply making her way across the room. And yet she was the only thing that stood out in the room, out of everyone else through Syaoran's eyes. Each step she takes, Syaoran can feel his heart beating faster...... and faster........ and faster............
He was so hypnotized by this beauty's movements and yet completely oblivious to Eriol and Tomoyo who was still standing next to him.
"Pretty little thing isn't she?" said Eriol interrupting Syaoran's thoughts.
"Huh?" "Oh ummm..." "What are you talking? I'm just so um.... uh.... deep in thought about Touya's announcement" said Syaoran blushing a tint of red across his cheeks.
"Your mouth lies but your red cheeks says the truth, Syao-chan" said Eriol.
"I told you don't call me that" said Syaoran going back into his growling state. "I need some air."
Leaving the first floor, Syaoran made his way to the nearest balcony giving him time to breathe. Luckily he spotted this balcony during his walk with Eriol and Tomoyo earlier.
Outside at the balcony on the Third Floor
"I really needed to get out of there."
"Then you don't mind if I join you."
Syaoran got surprised for a moment. The voice was neither Touya, Yukito, Eriol or Tomoyo. It was too angelic for anyone he had known. He turned around to make eye contact with none other than that girl he was hypnotized earlier. She alone standing there made the whole scenery light up in beauty. Standing there all alone could make any man want to take her away from all that loneliness and hungrily embrace her. But that didn't last long as she made her way towards Syaoran. Standing next to Syaoran she set her eyes on the outside through the balcony.
"Beautiful view isn't it?" said the girl looking at the whole town.
"Yeah it is" but Syaoran wasn't talking about what the girl was staring at. He was simply talking about the girl and still couldn't pull away his eyes from her. Just listening to her voice sounded like heaven. In his mind Syaoran replayed the moment those words escaped from her luscious lips.
"I always come here whenever I need to be alone." said the girl
"Yeah I can understand that. From all the people living here it's hard to be alone." said Syaoran
"So..." the girl began to face Syaoran. Syaoran couldn't help as he blushed a bright red. Her face was so close to his that Syaoran couldn't control himself as the color of his face turned more red.
The girl looked at him with concern noticing his face turning red "Oh no what's wrong?" "Are you coming down with a fever?" "Seriously this always happens when I'm around a boy." (Geeze I wonder why? hehehehehe -)
"Ah no it's okay I'm fine" said Syaoran smiling to give the girl some relief.
"You sure?" "Is there anything I can do to help?" said the girl.
"Yeah you can give me a kiss to make it go away" thought Syaoran happily. "Wait no what am I thinking? I just met her for crying out loud. But just look at her. Just look at her!!!! She's just so beautiful. I can't tear myself away from such beauty.
"Really are you sure you're all right?"
"Yeah I'm fine. Nothing to worry about."
"Good. I was getting worried when you were making those funny faces" said the girl as she giggled.
Syaoran blushed not because of her but from embarassment.
"So you're Syaoran Li, am I right?"
"Yeah how--?"
"Did I know? I heard it from onii-chan, but don't worry he didn't tell the whole gang" said the girl.
"Don't tell me that you're the sister of Touya?" said Syaoran in surprise.
"Yeah hard to believe isn't it?" "Anyway--" the girl didn't get to finish her sentence keeping Syaoran in suspense. What she did next Syaoran didn't expect. She leaped towards Syaoran giving a light peck towards Syaoran's cheek. This was the first day he met her and she already kissed him without making any effort to get close to her. The girl slowly stepped away but still facing Syaoran.
"Thank you for saving onii-chan's life, he really means a lot to me." she said in a soft and gentle tone.
"Y yy you're welcome" said Syaoran.
The girl began walking away slowly as Syaoran placed his hand over the cheek the girl had just kissed him.
"Wait! I never got your name" said Syaoran
"It's Sakura. Kinomoto Sakura."

Phew!! Done for today. Well there you have it. Chapter 2. Sorry that I took so long to update . But I felt like my writer's block was weak so I didn't want to dissapoint you all with a poorly written chapter. I'll tell you this. I'm a reader not a writer. So please go easy on me. Again this is my 3rd fic and I haven't written for more than a year. So please. Really please!!!! READ AND REVIEW!!!!! I really want to know what you think of this story. And maybe tell me if you think some of the stuff I added brings some spark to the story like lets say for instance Eriol's new nickname for Syaoran "Syao-chan", it would be weird if I had him call Syaoran cute little descendant and if I need to tense up the romantic atmosphere between Tomoyo/Eriol and Sakura/Syaoran.
To finish things off, the relationship between Sakura and Syaoran wasn't that intense in this chapter. Well duh, they just started to meet each other in this chapter. But I promise I'll heat things up. Maybe I'm going way too fast. Syaoran already fell for Sakura. If you have a problem with that, just tell me and I'll fix it.
Again if you finished reading the manga and watched the whole manga and dying for more SS madness, feel free to ask for any links on Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles for scanlations, manga translations etc.
AND PLEASE READ AND REVIEW!!!!!!!
