Mei fa-chan: Thank you for your review! It's good at least someone reads it, lol!
Just a note to some of you guys, I might fix the recaps slightly to make it better...heh.
Chapter Two: And When the Rain Would Fall Down
"Xue Fang and her older brother will be coming tomorrow morning." Mei Ling said briskly in front of Sakura's closed door. Sakura instantly opened the door, as if interested, and asked, "Who?"
Mei Ling looked questioningly at Sakura. 'What an odd girl' She thought. "Xue Fang." She replied again and Sakura only nodded.
"What's her brother's name I mean." Sakura asked and Mei Ling shrugged.
"I dunno. I heard that he's a real hottie though." She simply stated. Then, she promptly skipped away and as Sakura quietly closed the door. Tired, she plopped onto the bed and fell asleep.

A/N: It will be Sakuras POV now
Warm soft covers, fluffy soft pillows, nothing could be better than sleeping in on a comfy bed. I snuggled against my pillow, wanting to sleep longer; sleep was like a god's great gift.
"Sakura!" a voice yelled my name and my eyes fluttered open.
"Wha...where am I?" I wondered when I realized that the only thing I could possibly recognize was my own bed. My own bed floating in the air, an unsettling fog sweeping the...uh...air.
Suddenly, a dark shadow cascaded far beyond my able sight, but I could feel a presence appear. It was odd, but I felt drawn to the shadow. I slipped out of my bed and surprisingly was able to walk on the odd fog. But for some reason, I wasn't able to walk steadily, so I staggered towards the figure.
As I drew nearer, I could see the sketches of the stranger's face being to appear. Whoever this person was, he was also walking towards me until we were both face to face. I gasped. He seemed so familiar. Hazel brown hair fell carelessly over his chocolate brown eyes and he had a square jaw. He was sporting some ancient Chinese clothes and as he looked at me with something in his eyes, some kind of feeling, in his eyes, he whispered, "Tao Hua..."
"Tao...Hua...?" I asked questioningly as he tenderly raised a hand to caress my cheek. Then he leaned down and his soft lips brushed against mine.
But I couldn't look at his face any longer as everything swirled in front of me. I felt dizzy and as I began drowning in the darkness, all I could remember were those chocolate brown eyes...

Bright rays of sunshine greeted me as I lazily fluttered my eyes open. Tired, I looked around sleepily, not fully recognizing the room. I thought it was only because I was phasing out and probably was still half-asleep. Moments later, a person excitedly rapped at my door, and I remembered that I wasn't at home any longer. I was at Mei Ling's home in China, not Tomoeda, Japan. I yawned as I stumbled towards the door and slowly opened the door, but was quickly awakened by the sound of Tomoyo's rather...refreshing greeting.
"Well, how do you like China??!"Tomoyo squealed and her black hair flew around wildly, just as excited as she was.
"Tomoyo...we haven't even left this house since we arrived at the airport..."I grumbled. The perkiness was slowly getting on my nerves, even though Tomoyo was my closest friend in the world. Ah, morning grumpiness.
I stumbled back onto the bed and hid under the covers, wishing that I were once again asleep. Who was that boy? The thought of him made goosebumps crawl up and down my arm.
While I was deep in thought, Tomoyo slowly crossed the room and sat down on my bed, thinking hard. What an instant mood change...
"You know...I had a really weird dream last night, and I can't stop thinking about it..." Tomoyo murmured and interested, I turned towards her and asked, "Yeah?"
"Well, I dreamt that I was in my room, designing some clothing – it looked really good by the way – and suddenly, I felt some presence behind me. I turned around and there was this boy...he had blue hair and glasses and blue-ish eyes and wow...he was really dreamy..." Tomoyo gushed.
"But then, for some reason, he called me...I dunno, wo de xiao tou ma yo..." Tomoyo's eyebrows then furrowed and she looked questioningly at me.
"What does that mean?" She asked and her gaze was fixated upon the ceiling, a finger on her chin. I shrugged hopelessly. It sounded Chinese all right, but I could not pinpoint what it meant...It was like "my something..."
"Come on, Tomoyo. Let's go downstairs. Mei Ling probably already left the house and so we can eat by ourselves." I said while getting up and stretching my aching muscles.
"What would a girl like her be doing so early?" Tomoyo asked as she, too, got off of my bed. We both went out of the room, and blindly roamed around the house, er...mansion. Finally we stumbled into the dining hall, greeted by a looooooong dining table.
Tomoyo squealed at such a grand sight as her eyes turned into the traditional starry look.
"Woooooow!!! This place is so grand!!! It feels like as if we're princesses in a castle!!!" Excited, she quickly sat down, as if forgetting the weird dream she had that morning. I promptly pulled out my chair and sat down next to her.
Immediately, five servants entered from a side door and bowing they chanted, "Mistress Tomoyo and Mistress Sakura, what would you like for breakfast?" Wow. Seemed like Mei Ling lived a pretty comfortably life.
"Um...just some cereal please..." I said and Tomoyo nodded adding, "Same thing for me."
"What type of cereal would you like?" One of the servants asked. Geez. A very comfortable life.
"Um..." Tomoyo said while staring off into space. "Cocoa Puffs?" (A/N: I happen to be eating that at the moment, so it fits all and all ;;)
"What kind of milk would you like?" Another servant asked, keeping his head extremely low. Personally, I couldn't help but wish that they would lift up their heads. But I didn't want to get them in trouble so I just promptly shut my mouth and let Tomoyo do all the talking.
"Just one percent, please." She replied. (A/N: Cocoa Puffs with one percent milk.)
"Size?" Another servant asked. Now that is just downright crazy.
"Um...normal?" Tomoyo asked confused. Since when did you have size in cereal?
The servants all just nodded and exited the room. Moments later, they came back with the food, all in very intricate bowls and much more.
"We hope you enjoy your meal." The servant said while bowing. It was a girl, short pink hair falling before her face. She gasped and retied her hair and then bowed again and said, "I am terribly sorry, Mistress Tomoyo and Mistress Sakura. Please forgive my messiness."
"It's okay. " Tomoyo said while comforting her. The girl looked up with slightly tear-filled eyes and then quickly wiped them away, begging for mercy for crying. Then she quickly ran out of the room, leaving us with our extremely fancy cereal. It seemed as if Mei Ling treated her servants terribly.

After Tomoyo and I ate, we just wandered around the room carelessly. Sometimes, the two of us got lost, sometimes, we stumbled into a dead end and had to turn around. If I didn't know any better, I would've guessed that this was a maze more than a mansion.
Soon after, the doorbell rang and we rushed wildly and blindly around the house to the door. But before we got there, a servant had already opened the door. A girl slightly older than us came in, her brown floppy curls bouncing merrily around. She gave a weird look at Tomoyo and me before yelling, "WE HAVE ARRIVED!" I wasn't sure whether that my eardrums would be okay or not by the time I came back to Japan.
Following behind her, two boys slowly came in. I could tell that they thought of themselves extremely cool by the way that they slowly walked with the shoulder glide. Both were extremely handsome, a rugged look framing their faces. But only one really stood out as I kept my gaze tightly locked onto his face.
He was the kind, handsome boy from my dream...
He walked as if in a slow fashion and stopped in the middle of the room. As if feeling my gaze burning into the back of his head, full of luscious hazel hair, he turned around and shot me what at first seemed as if it was a confused look, and then turned into a glare.
"What are you looking at." He growled menacingly.
Okay...maybe not kind... I thought.
"Nothing." I shot back, feeling my face grow hot.
"Whatever." He said while shrugging. The girl, whom I guessed as Xue Fang, shot him a death glare that the boy just disregarded.
"You must excuse my little brother, Xiao Lang." She said, while shooting him another glare. "He gets a bit...arrogant sometimes." I smiled lightly and then replied, "It's alright. "
I peered over at Tomoyo who looked nervously at the other boy. Navy blue hair carelessly fell in front of his piercing dark blue eyes like the ocean. He seemed as though he was thoroughly bored of the thought of being here.
"Are you okay, Tomoyo?" I asked her and she nodded.
"I-it...It's that boy from my dreams..." she whispered frightfully. He, too, walked in a slow fashion towards the center of the foyer and stopped. He turned around towards Tomoyo and gave her a look, I couldn't decipher what the look was saying. It seemed to have multiple meanings.
But either way, it seemed as though that our dreams have both awaken into reality.
Hm...Seems as though Syaoran is a bit cold. Wonder what might've happened before. Don't forget to R/R!
