Under The Cherry Blossom Tree

Chapter 1

15 years later

"Ying! Get back here!" A twenty years old Syaoron shouted as he chased his 15 years old sister around the garden for the past ten minutes. Sakura, or Ying, as Syaoron called her, have taken Syaoron's pendant that enables him to transform it to a sword.

"No way Xiao! This is payback when you took my necklace!" Sakura shouted back. Last week Syaoron have taken the beloved possession of Sakura's. It was a necklace that has a golden star in the middle surrounded by a circle made out of diamonds. She wasn't exactly sure how she got the necklace, but in her heart she knows it's very important. With the necklace she also got a pink book that has a crest that matches her necklace. Again, she doesn't know how she got the book but she knows it's very important to her, just like her necklace.

"Please Ying? I need it for training!" Syaoron pleaded still running to catch up on his sister.

"Hmm, in one condition Xiao! You will let me train with you!" Sakura answered confidently as she stopped running and looked back at her panting brother.

"Nu uh Ying! You're a girl, I'm a boy! Girls play dress up while boys fight! There's a big difference!" Syaoron answered while shaking his head no.

"Please Syaoron? How come Meiling gets to train? And Mother even said that I can train with you too! Mother even gave me my sword for my 11th birthday!" Sakura reasoned. She loves to train! She always trains every day at dawn for the past 4 years. She didn't tell anyone though for she is afraid that they will forbid her to.

"Nope! You're not going to train Sakura! I don't want you to get hurt!" Syaoron said turning to his protective brother mode. If you only you knew, if only you knew, Sakura thought with a smile.

"Please Syaoron? Pretty, pretty please?" Sakura pleaded with her 'lost-puppy-eye' pout.

"Nope! That look won't work on me Ying!" Syaoron answered confidently avoiding Sakura's eyes, because if he does look at her eyes, he won't be able to say no.

Sakura's face fell and she turned her head. "I just want to spend more time with you and train!" Sakura started as she started to sob. "I guess your training is more important then me, your sister who only wants to spend more time with you!" Sakura cried as she sobbed again. By now her whole body was turned back from Syaoron as her shoulders racked with sobs. Syaoron immediately felt bad.

"Oh come on now Ying Fa, I'm sorry. Fine, you'll go train with us today. And when you said training is more important than you, that's not true! I love you Ying!" Syaoron cried as she hugged the sobbing Sakura. As soon as he said those words Sakura's sobbing stopped and her tears disappeared in a flash. She turned her head to face her brother with a bright smile.

"Thank you Xiao Lang! Wait here while I go get my outfit and sword! Thank you!" Sakura exclaimed as she kissed her brother's cheek and headed inside the Li Mansion. Syaoron stood there dumbfounded.

"Why do I feel as though I've been tricked?" He asked himself. "Hey! Wait a minute! Sakura you still haven't gave back my pendant!" Syaoron cried as he heard a far away giggle. He growled. "Ying Fa! Oh if I get my hands on you, you're dead!" Syaoron cried as he ran towards the mansion.

Syaoron ran inside trying desperately to search for his beloved sister. He saw his mother and decided to ask if she has seen Sakura.

"Mother, have you seen Ying anywhere?" Syaoron asked his mother.

"As a matter of fact, yes. She ran past me muttering something about pendant, training and Xiao, which is you. Why do you asked?" His mother, Yelan Li asked.

Syaoron grumbled. "She tricked me! First she took my pendant. I told her to give it to me and she said that she'll only give it to me on one condition, if I let her train with us." Syaoron started as Yelan smiled. "Then after that I said no to her she started crying and said that my training is more important than her! I, obviously felt bad, so I said that she could go train with us. After that she said thank you and ran off. Not giving my pendant back!" Syaoron finished with a growl.

Yelan smiled. "Yes, that did sound a lot like Sakura. And if you're wondering where she went she went to the West Wing, probably in her room." Yelan answered with a smile. Fifteen years has passed since she and her beloved son have found Sakura under the cherry blossom tree. She decided not to tell Sakura about it, but she will tell her in the right time. She probably guessed that Syaoron already forgot about what happened fifteen years ago, and well he did. The only ones who remembered that fateful day were her, Wei, Syaoron's and Sakura's guardian, the Li Elders and Syaoron's older sisters. Even though Sakura may not be blood relative and was not really a descendant of Clow Reed, she is still well aware about magic. Yelan was also the only one that knows about very private secrets. She's the only one who knows that Sakura was part of the Kinomoto family, one of the most powerful families in all of Asia. She will reveal all the secrets when the time comes, when the dark empire has risen once again.

"Well, thanks mother. I still have to get her back from that one! Well, ja ne!" Syaoron waved good bye as he ran off searching for his sister. As soon as Syaoron reached the Cherry Blossom Room, Sakura's room, he didn't hesitate to knock and just barged in.

"Syaoron? What are you doing here?" Sakura asked innocently as soon as she got out of the washroom. She was wearing her training outfit. It consists of a short pink dress with black linings. It has pink long sleeves that also have a black lining. She also wore a pair of short pink shorts that has a black lining. The dress also has two slits on either end that came from her waist down.

Syaoron grumbled. "Come on Ying! Please give me back my pendant! I already did you a favor, I let you train with us today!" Syaoron pleaded with a pout.

"Just one more favor Xiao." Sakura said simply. Syaoron nodded, Sakura smiled. "You'll let me train with you EVERYDAY for the rest of the year!"

"Oh no! No, no, no! No way Sakura! You'll get hurt!" Syaoron responded shaking his head negative turning once again into his protective mode.

Sakura sigh. "I don't want to do this Syaoron, but I have to." Sakura said with a sly smile. She stepped closer to Syaoron who started backing away.

"What are you going to do me huh?" Syaoron asked confidently backing away from his sister. Sakura just smiled evilly.

"Are you ticklish Syaoron?" Sakura asked with a smile.

"Oh no! Don't you dare Sakura! Don't you dare!" Syaoron answered with a shout.

"Oh yes! I dare!" Sakura shouted as she jumped and started tickling her dear brother none stop. Syaoron kept laughing and kept asking her to stop. "Just say yes, and I will stop."

"No!" Syaoron managed to gasp out. Sakura shook her head and started tickling her dear brother once again mercilessly.

"Just say yes and I will stop." Sakura answered with a smile. Syaoron finally agreed to let her train with them for the rest of the year and Sakura stopped tickling.

"You're very evil Ying Fa! Very evil!" Syaoron shouted as Sakura giggled. Syaoron was about to give Sakura some payback when someone knocked at the door.

"Come in!" Sakura answered revealing four people, two boys and two girls. "Hello! What are you doing here guys?"

"Well, we just want to tell Syaoron that training is over and that he missed it." One of the girls answered with a smirk. This girl has jet black hair tied into two buns on either side of her head. She has piercing ruby red eyes, this girl was Meiling Rae, cousin of Sakura and Syaoron Li and lover of Ryu Mga. Meiling, or Mei as Sakura called her, was a very dear friend. When Sakura was 5 and Meiling 6 that was the first time they met and after that meeting they instantly became very good friends. In fact Meiling was one of Sakura's best friends.

"I what?! I missed training?! How?!" Syaoron asked frustrated. He had never missed a training in his entire life.

"Well, before training Wei-sensei asked us to find you 'cause you're still not in the Training Room, which I must say was very surprising since everyday you're always first to arrive, even earlier than Wei-sensei himself. Anyways, we couldn't find you so we just started training. After a very good fight we decided to look for you and we still couldn't find you. We asked Aunt Yelan if she sees you and she said that you're looking for dear Saku-chan. So we headed here to her room and surprisingly we found you here." Narrated a boy. This one has icy blue hair and intelligent blue eyes. He was Eriol Hiirrigazawa, or Eli as Sakura and the other girls calls him.

"Ugh! Ying look what you did! You totally made me miss training and you still haven't even given me back my pendant!" Syaoron grumbled.

"Hey! Don't blame it all on me! I also miss practice you know! If you have just agreed to let me train with you for the rest of the year then I wouldn't have to tickle you and waist our time!" Sakura answered. She reached into her pocket and pulled out Syaoron's pendant and tossed it back to him.

"You, tickled Syaoron?" The other boy asked. This boy has raven black hair and piercing midnight eyes. He is Ryu Mga or Ry for short. He was one of the very best fighters in the whole Li Kingdom. He was the lover of Meiling Rae and he has his arms around her waist.

"Yes, I did. And I found something very interesting. He is actually very ticklish on his sides. So if you ever want to tickle him mercilessly just tickle him on his sides." Sakura answered jokingly making the four new comers laugh and Syaoron to grumble.

"Kawaii!" Screamed the last girl. She has purplish-grey hair and amethyst pools. She was Tomoyo Daidouju or Tomo for short. She was under the care of Yelan Li since she didn't have anymore parents. Her parents died because of a fire. Well that was what Queen Yelan told her anyways. Her parents actually died because of the Dark Lord, the ruler of the Dark Empire. The Dark Lord murdered her parents for unknown reasons, not even Queen Yelan knew why.

"Well anyways, do you guys want to train outside? I mean since my dear brother here and I didn't get the chance to train, why don't we train outside? Have a sparring round or something?" Sakura answered. "Since you guys are already in your training clothes, why don't we train?" The others nodded and they all headed outside once Sakura grabbed her own pendant which was pink and white that can transform into her sword.

Once outside the groups started to split into pairs. Tomoyo with Eriol, Meiling with Ryu and Sakura with Syaoron. Sakura wanted to battle somebody else since she knows that Syaoron will go easy on her.

"Okay so what do you want to do first?" Sakura asked the group.

"How about swords? I haven't practice with swords for a very long time now!" Meiling asked. The group nodded and they transformed their pendants into their swords. Meiling has a red and white pendant that transform into a very sharp sword that has a red handle that has a fire dragon coming up in the side. Ryu has an orange and black pendant that transform into a sword just like Meiling's but with an orange handle and an orange dragon. Next was Tomoyo. She has a purple and white pendant. Her sword were just like the other two but with a purple handle and a purple dragon. Eriol has a navy blue and black pendant. His sword were pretty much just like the others but with a navy blue handle and a navy blue dragon. Then there was Syaoron. He has a green and black pendant. His sword were very different than the others. The blade was much sharper than the others. It has a gold handle with an emerald colored dragon at the blade. And last was Sakura's. Her blade were also much sharper than the others, as sharp as Syaoron's sword. The handle was silver with pink cherry blossom petals imprinted on it. On the blade was a small pink and white dragon.

"So what are we waiting for? Let's train!" Tomoyo shouted as she started to swing her sword and clashed with Eriol's sword.

"Syaoron, before we start just one more favor. Please?" Sakura asked. Syaoron sighed and nodded. "Promise me you won't go easy on me?" Sakura pleaded.

"What kind of favor is that?" Syaoron asked looking at Sakura. Seeing Sakura's pleading face he nodded. "Fine. Give me your best shot Sakura!"

"As you wish!" Sakura answered happily as she raised her sword preparing to swing. She brought down her sword with all her might and it hit with Syaoron's. Then the sparring began. Hit after hit and they went on. Sakura was about to hit Syaoron again when the sky darkened. They all stopped and put down their swords and looked up.

"What's going on? I mean it's early in the morning why did the sky darkened? Is there a lunar eclipse going on?" Tomoyo asked curiously. A strong gust of wind blew making the group cover their eyes from the dust. Once the wind stopped they looked around and saw ten mean looking demons.

"What is going on?!" Sakura asked as she picked up her sword and went into her defense mode. As if answering her question the demons started to ran forward preparing for an attack. The other instantly picked up their swords and prepared to attack.
