Chapter 1
Syaoran's POV
I woke up to the sound of my alarm and the sun beating down on me through the green curtains. I sat up and got out of bed and walked towards the bathroom to get ready for school. I turned on the shower and hopped in. After a few minutes I heard a soft knock on my bathroom door, and then the door opened and my cousin Jade came in, not looking at me but at the closet on the other side of the bathroom.
"I ran out of soap and you're the only one with soap that smells good so I'm borrowing some until I go out and buy some." Jade said pulling out a bar of soap from the top shelf of the closet.
"Fine, go ahead." I said and she smiled and left the room.
I smirked and went back to washing my hair. Jade is the only one who I can ever really feel free around to show my emotions. Jade and I have been training together since she was 3. I was four and she always wanted to do what I did, and I have to say she is better then me at controlling her powers or her elements as the elders call it. She's also better with using the staff when we train with them. But I'm better with martial arts.I turned the shower off and got out rapping a towel around my waist.
I quickly pulled on the navy blue pants and white shirt that where part of the schools uniform. I slid my feet into the black shoes I had to wear and threw the tie around my neck so I would remember to tie it later. I grabbed the navy blue jacket and slung my black backpack over my right shoulder and ran out of my room and down the long red and blue decorated hall to the grand stairway. I ran down them and into the dining room where everyone but Jade was waiting and eating breakfast.
"Good morning son, how did you sleep?" Mother asked as she looked up from her food.
"Wonderful mother and good morning to everyone." I forced out.
Just then the door burst open and Jade ran in her long wet hair hanging limp around her face. She dropped into the chair nearest to the door and slumped down.
"Nice of you to join us, Jade." Mother said.
"SorryAuntie, I had to search the house for soap." Jade replied as she grabbed a piece of toast.
"As usual, you always have to . . ." Mother was interrupted by a phone ringing.
Jade opened her backpack and pulled out a black with red flames decorated cell phone. She looked at the name and pressed end and turned the phone off and dropped it into her red backpack. Mother sighed and went back to eating. I got up and went over to Jade who was gulping down a glass of orange juice.
"Jade we have to go now, or we'll be late for school." I said and she leapt up and followed me out of the dining room after giving mother a quick kiss and hug.
We walked down a long red hall that had pictures of relatives littered on the walls. As usual Jade stopped at the picture of her dead family members, her mother, and father. She then resumed walking behind me and we walked through an open door and into the wide and huge 50 car garage.
I walked towards a black Ford explorer and was about to open the door when I realized jade wasn't on the passenger side. I looked around and saw her holding a pair of keys, that went to her silver Ford Mustang convertible. I smirked and walked over and got into the passenger seat and waited for her to get in and start driving. She hopped in and started the car and we went through the open garage door and down the long winding driveway and out through the open gates. Jade turned right and we started on the 20 minute drive to school.
"So why decide now to start driving again?" I asked.
"What I drive I just haven't driven this car for awhile and I wanted to and plus the explorer just is to big for me." Jade said.
"Yea, of course it is, your such a small and helpless creature." I retorted and Jade punched me hard in the side.
A few minutes later we pulled up in front of the school and we both jumped out. We didn't even give each other a second look as we went to our respective groups. Jade is part of the group called the outcasts, who everyone stays away from. I'm part of the popular group that always picks on the outcasts. So in other words I pick in my favorite cousin. But she doesn't care, that I know.
Jade's POV
"Hey Naoto, Koji, how's everything." I said as I ran over to them.
"We're fine, and I guess you never got Drave's call this morning." Koji said and I groaned.
"So that's who called when I was in the shower this morning. Grr, I have to kill that baka." I responded as I looked at the group who wasn't wearing the school uniform, but black pants and assortments of different colored and styled shirts.
"I guess I should have called before you went in the shower uh?" A voice asked from behind me and I turned around and nodded a yes.
"it would have been nice, since you know when I go in the shower since I'm in the shower the same time every fucking day." I hissed.
"Kasshu-san, that's no way to talk." A voice said and I turned around and swore in my head once I saw the principle standing there.
"Sorry, Yausho-san, I'm not having a good day." I said quickly but he believes me I could tell as he looked at me.
"Yes, and I see you are the only one of this group that dressed for school the right way, in the uniform, so I will let you off this time and this time alone." Yausho-san said looking around at us.
The principle walked away and we all let our breath out. Just then the bell rang and we all shrugged and ran inside to our respective homerooms. I am unfortunately in a homeroom without my friends and with all the popular kids. The one word that always comes to mind when I stand outside that room is Torture.
I opened the door after saying bye to my friends and stepped in only to be hit by a paper ball. I clenched my fists and walked towards my seat in the back corner near the windows. I plopped down and waited for the teacher to come in and start attendance.
"Class we have a new student today. I would like you all to be nice and if I even hear of any of you being cruel, you will be punished accordingly." Sugiyama-sensei said looking around at all of us, her eyes resting on me and I gulped and smiled.
Sakura's POV
I stood outside of the classroom and waited for the teacher to welcome me in. The door opened and she waved me in. I bowed to her and then to the class and as I straightened up I saw a girl in the corner looking at me with a weird glare.
"Why don't you introduce yourself." The teacher said and I smiled again.
"Konnichiwa, I'm Kinomoto Sakura, I'm from Tomoeda. That's a place in Japan." I said and this one girl in the front row was looking me over.
I looked again at the girl in the back and saw that she was dressed in the school uniform, navy blue knee length skirt, white blouse, and navy blue blazer. On her feet she wore not black shoes, like everyone else, but white sneakers, with red laces. Her long elbow width amber hair was down, but pulled off of her face with a white headband.
"Kinomoto-san you will be sitting next to Kasshu-san, and she will show you around the school, since she is in all of your classes. Kasshu-san please raise you hand." Sugiyama-sensei said and the girl in the corner raised her hand.
I went over and sat down at the desk next to her and I saw that she had an amethyst ring on her left hand, and an emerald ring on her right held by a gold band. She had a silver cross with a rose and vines engraved necklace around her neck. Also on her neck she had a black tattoo choker and a silver chain holding a silver ring encrusted with small stones of jade and moonstones. I smiled at her and she smiled back.
Then she held out her hand and said, "Kasshu Jade, its nice to meet you Kinomoto-san."
"Please Kasshu-san call me Sakura." I said and she nodded, and it was then I noticed her eyes where an unusual color of gray. They where more silver then anything else.
"Only if you call me Jade, Kasshu-san makes me feel old." She said and by then we where on our way to phys ed.
We walked into the girls locker room and almost immediately I was pulled away from Jade, who was pulled in another direction by some girl who she obviously knew. I pulled away from the girl who had grabbed me and glared at her. It was the girl from the first row.
"You shouldn't hang out with Kasshu, she's a slut. Her mother we hear work's for the Li family as a servant. Your better off with us for friends." The girl said.
Just then she glared at something behind me and I turned and saw Jade standing there an angry glare on her face.
"For your information Tomoyo, my mother and father are dead. I'm related to the Li family." At that the girl turned Tomoyo started to laugh.
"You know something Kasshu, you are so totally lying. Syaoran would never be related to a Subeta like you." Tomoyo hissed.
(Subeta means bitch)
"You make me laugh, you really do." Jade responded as she walked past Tomoyo and opened a locker.
"Jade." A warning voice said from behind me.
"Mei Lin, I'm not going to do anything." Jade said pulling out a pair of red shorts and a black tank top.
"Why don't I believe you?" Mei Lin asked.
"Cuz I always lie about that stuff, but I'm not lying now, I'll let Eriol take care of her." Jade said and I just stood there perplexed.
