'Damn Meiling. This is going to be a long summer...

A knock came from Syaoran's door.
"Yes?" Syaoran called from inside the door.

A man with messily spiked hair and clear deep azure eyes, hidden behind a pair of thin framed glasses, walked through.
"Syaoran." He called out, taking a seat on his bed.

"Yeah?" He questioned with a annoyed look.

"I heard it all. Why did you snap on her like that?"

Syaoran gave the other man no response.

The azure eyed man sighed.

"It's been a while since you got this mad."

Syaoran just nodded.

"Eriol, you do know Meiling's friend are here, right?"

"Yeah, I saw one of them," replied the man, who obviously named Eriol.

Syaoran raised an eyebrow at him. Before Syaoran could ask anything else, Eriol took his leave.


Else where, three girls were on the beach.

They splashed each other playfully and played a variety of silly games.

Who could hold their breath underwater the longest.

Who could swim the farthest.

Who could do a back flip in the water.

Who could do whatever.

The list goes on.

Sakura, Meiling and Tomoyo were in the middle of a 4th time re-match in the 'holding their breath' contest.

They dove underwater.

A second passes.

Another second.

And another.

And another.

And another.

And another.

And another.

And another.

And another.

And another.

And another.

Just when they were under water, 3 guys strolled across the shore line.

Then at the same time, Tomoyo, Sakura and Meiling burst up from underwater.

They flipped their hair back to keep it from their face, and when they did that, they sent water drops flying throughout the air.

The water in the air glistened in the sun and the 'glittering water' surrounded them giving a magical look.

That azure eyed man, Eriol, and the other who had spiked black and golden eyes, gawked at the girls, their chins hit the floor in awe. Syaoran simply glanced, not caring, then turned away.
As soon at the two guy could compose their selves, Meiling seemingly to magically appear next to them.

She grinned, "I didn't know you were here Eriol-Kun" she proclaimed, while putting him into a death grip.

"Ow...help...M-M-Meiling! Your c-choking me!"

"Oh! I'm sorry" she said slightly flushed.

Meiling tilted her head to the right, looking behind Eriol. "Who's that?" She pointed to the dark haired man.
"Kohako Ryu." He introduced himself, with a charming smile.
"You are miss?"
"Li Meiling." She said returning his smile.
Just at that moment, Sakura and Tomoyo joined her.
"Oh! Tomoyo, Sakura. This is Hiiragizawa Eriol, Li Syaoran, and Kohako Ryu," she said pointing at each of them when saying their names.
Eriol took Tomoyo's hand and said "Call me Eriol, if you please." Then kissed it and did the same to Sakura.
Syaoran just replied with a "Hi."
Ryu just smiled at them.
With that Sakura, Meiling and Tomoyo turned around and went their separate ways from the guys.


Back in Meiling's Room.

"So they were your cousins Meiling-Chan?" asked a curious Sakura.

"No. Only Syaoran and Eriol are my other cousins from England. I don't know about Kohako-Kun."

"So you just met Kohako-Kun today also?" added Tomoyo.

"Yeah. Anyways, what do you guys think of them?" Meiling asked changing the subject.

"Alright" Sakura said casually.

Tomoyo shrugged.

"Don't play dumb. I know my cousins look good," Meiling said nudging the other two girls lightheartedly.

They burst out laughing at Meiling's comment, and dropped the subject.


Back on the beach.

" Come on guys, you have to admit. Meiling got some good looking friends." Stated Eriol.Syaoran cocked an eyebrow.

While Ryu chuckled, and replied " Yeah, I guess."

Syaoran smirked at this.

"It looks like you're more interested in my dear cousin Meiling, then her friends."
Ryu flushed at his comment.

" Nuh-uh."

"Yeah. Sure. I'll believe you." Eriol remarked sarcastically, smirking.


"Well, anyways. Don't judge the guys by how they look. Syaoran and Eriol. They're strange." muttered Meiling.

"Really? How?" A curious Tomoyo questioned.

"Syaoran. He had a attitude. It's so hard for me to read his emotions, but sometimes he just gets mad and burst like he used to."

"What do you mean, like he used to?" Sakura inquired.

"He used to be cold to people he didn't know and just say incoherent things. To family he was nice. A year in England changed him. He's a mystery. A strange mystery."

"Oh." was all Tomoyo could say.

"What about Eriol-Kun?" Stated Sakura.

"Him? He is a flirt. A annoying flirt, but he's very good to talk to. Though, as easy as you could talk to him, he could as easily piss you off so much. You'd want to kill him. Sometimes he seems to be ignoring you, but he's not. He's just as strange as Syaoran, if not less."

Soon, they wrapped up their little chat and went down to the kitchen for a snack.


Days passed and the girls haven't caught a glimpse of the guys. They had began to think they went back home.

That day, the girls had gotten bored of the beach and decided to for a walk.

Sakura, Tomoyo and Meiling strolled along the shore line, to reach the other side of the island.
Something in Meiling's mind became clear, they guys weren't seen because they were on the other side of the island!
The island wasn't very big. You could walk around in 5 hours. On the opposite of the mansion, there was a large beach home.
Sakura and Tomoyo were chatting animatedly when Meiling cut in.

"Hey, I know where the boys are," Meiling said eagerly.

Sakura and Tomoyo had confused looks. They didn't really care.

Meiling explained that they were most likely staying at the beach house to not be disturbed by them.

Tomoyo and Sakura just nodded in understanding.

Not much later they arrived at the fairly large beach home. Meiling strutted up to the door with Sakura and Tomoyo following, and knocked.

"Wei-" Said Eriol, but stopped mid-way after seeing Meiling.

" M-Meiling, what are you doing here?"

"I'm staying here for the summer, that's what I'm doing." She smirked.

"Yeah. Want to come in?"

She nodded and walked in. Sakura and Tomoyo followed her lead.
Sakura plopped herself on the couch, making her self comfortable.
Meiling joined her, but Tomoyo stood at the door talkinh with Eriol.
Soon, Syaoran appeared in the room.g

He gave Meiling and Sakura a mysterious smile, then walked back out of the room.
Tomoyo and Eriol Sat on a love seat next to them and they chatted earnestly.
Eriol made a phone call up to the mansion to have them deliver a few glasses and a bottle of wine.
It arrived in 10 minutes. The girls took it gratefully and sipped from it.

Ryu came out from his room, who knows what he was doing, but he came out and accepted a glass of wine.
They were having a great time. They put on some music and sipped their wine,
but were interrupted by Syaoran.

"Whats going on?"

No body moved, they started at him, thoughts running through their minds like, 'He finally notices' , ' Is he insane?' , ' Is he mad?'.

Or they thought completely random thoughts, not caring that Syaoran was there, but then he broke the silence and said
"So you having a party, eh? Why didn't you invite me?" He put on a hurt face, but it quickly turned back into his expressionless mysterious look.

Everyone chuckled at this and continued what they were doing.

Sakura smiled at her friends. They were chatting with one of the guys, Tomoyo with Eriol and Meiling with Ryu.She crept out onto the balcony and stood there staring up at the stars, smiling."Beautiful, isn't it?" a voice called out to her.

She jumped. Sakura turned her head and came face to face with Syaoran. He smiled and repeated what he said, but in a different way.

"Isn't it beautiful?"

Sakura turned her head upward again and replied with a simple "Yes."

She turned her head to face him again and focused on him. She found him very attractive. Messy chestnut colored hair that slightly covered his eyes. His eyes were a unique amber color, they were so mysterious. You'd try to look at them and try to see what's he thinking, but they revealed nothing. He was about a head taller then her and had broad shoulders, medium built. He was very good-looking. She flushed at the thought, and quickly snapped her head upward again, and a smile crept onto her face.

As time passed she glanced at him once more. This time he turned his head around to meet her gaze. Amber met emerald, at last.
He smiled another of his ohh so mysterious smiles and walked back into the room, leaving her along once again.


Sakura soon walked back into the house and saw them sitting down on stools lined up against the counter.

Meiling was asking Syaoran and Eriol why they were staying at the summer house.

She shifter her gaze to Tomoyo who was now talking to Ryu.

She joined them in their talk about Hong Kong.

Meiling soon joined in their mindless jabber.

"Syaoran and Eriol agreed to move back into the mansion tomorrow! So, we can camp out under the stars that tomorrow night!" she said with the biggest grin you could imagine.

Tomoyo had a shy smile on her face. Sakura just nodded, not knowing what to think.

A/N: I hope you guys liked it! but...URGH…I'm getting mad now...haha...I have the beginning done...and the ending too! I just thought of it…but I don't have the middle, and it seems to be plot-less. I do have an idea, but I don't know how to form it into the story without it being rushed. Well yeah it's okay. I'll manage. Bye -Sayuri-Chan
