Yeah, I know, I'm focusing more on his secret than Saku's, but it's just because his secretneedsa few more explanations... well, that and his secret is darker...Eriol will appear in this chapter, which it also might bring up another question or two about his past with Sakura... y'know what? Lemme just let you read!

Chapter III

Sakura was sitting on vast green fields. Her bangs hid her eyes in which were shining delightfully as she felt smooth winds caress her face tenderly. A smile played on her lips and her long hair flew around in her face. She popped a small strawberry into her mouth, grinning as the taste filled her mouth to bliss and numbed her tongue with sweetness. She was having a non-stop craving for strawberries, just as she used to as a child. Something was wrong though; why would she crave so much for strawberries when she hasn't for years? She shook the thought off and continued to eat strawberries off the pile she held in her lap. The juice within the strawberries stained her lips and tongue a deep magenta rose. With her left hand she wiped the juice that ran down her chin and continued eating. Suddenly she felt something soft touch her right hand, which was placed on the grass. She looked to see that it was an ebony feather. A deep black feather that shone as the sun passed through it. She touched it with her index finger curiously. It was soft, and the wind made it slightly flutter like wings of a butterfly. She held it tenderly, for she knew it was delicate. A mixture of the scent of plump strawberries and fresh pine reached her nostrils, making her give a sigh. That scent was good. Soon six more feathers flew and came down on her, making that wonderful scent more pleasant and pleasurable. She grinned and sighed again, as the scent intoxicated her even more. Warmth suddenly spread from her cheeks to her lips, down her chin and neck, then down her chest, arms and legs, all the way to her fingers and toes. What was happening? Slowly she lied down and placed her hands against the grass as seven more feathers came down, one touching her face, making her softly close her eyes as the warmth became a little more deeper, bringing her to sleep.

-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-

Why did she dream of such a random thing? Sakura sat up, her hair still damp as she had showered before going to bed. Strangely enough, she still could feel the scent of strawberries and pine deep inside her nose. She sniffed, bringing the scent deeper in to check if it wasn't a hallucination. It wasn't. She made her way off of bed and into the kitchen. Pouring herself a cup of water, she wiped the slight sweat off her forehead. Why would she have a dream like that? All she knew was that she could still remember the scent clearly in her mind, and that it smelled really good. That warmth it gave her... it made her feel good. It was as if someone was embracing her tightly, not wanting to ever let go. She brought herself to a smile. She liked that feeling...

:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:

"Can you sit with me and Meiling, Sakura?" Syaoran said to Sakura as they both were walking out of class. Chiharu, who was not far behind Syaoran, pouted and said "Why Kinomoto? Why can't you invite me, Syaoran-kun?"

Syaoran looked back at Chiharu with an apologetic smile and said "I'm sorry, Mihara-san. Maybe next time, okay?" Sakura looked at him. Was he born that polite and innocent? Or has someone taught him to? She shook her head and continued to walk outside. Syaoran caught up with her a few seconds later. "So how about it, Sakura?" He asked.

Sakura let out a sigh and said "Fine." She wasn't quite used to making friends yet, and she had a feeling it would take long. Syaoran grinned and said "All right then, come on!" Sakura inwardly smiled at his cheefulness. He was always so happy for some strange reason.

They sat under a tree, where Meiling sat cheerfully. Sakura twisted her face. Is everyone from their family this cheerful? She shuddered; must be a frightning sight... one cheerful person was enough. Meiling looked at Sakura and said "Hey Kinomoto-chan! What's up?"

"Nothing much." She muttered, leaning her back on the tree. She closed her eyes and thought about the dream she had. She really wanted to smell that intoxicating scent once again, but she knew she wouldn't smell something that good while awake. Suddenly her eyes, which were hidden under her closed eyelids, felt heavy. She slowly fell into a light sleep.

"Sakura?... are you okay?" Syaoran asked, placing a hand on her shoulder. She fluttered her eyes open and stared sleepily into Syaoran's golden-amber ones. She nodded slightly and for some reason kept staring into his eyes. Something inside of them held a certain fear. A fear... she pondered on that when she closed her eyes once more. Why would he be afraid? What was wrong?

:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:

Yue closed his eyes for a second and then opened them again, now irritated. His long hair fell over his face as he continued to read the large book in front of him, in each word irritating him even more.

Fuera todos nosotros, el muchacho en quien la mitad de su sangre es humana poseerá la energía de los elementos. Una energía que había desaparecido hace muchos años...

Llevado fuera de matrimonio y bajo de el amor prohibido de sus padres, él apreciará lo que él tiene. Cuando él está cerca de una edad madura, sus energías aparecerán antes de él.

He translated the Spanish words easily in his mind. Out of all of us, the boy in which half of his blood is human shall possess the power of the elements. A power which had disappeared many years ago... could it be? Yue gritted his teeth in anger. It can't be... it just can't. He threw the book across the room, remembering the other paragraph. Born out of wedlock and and under his parents' forbidden love, he shall appreciate what he has. When he is close to reaching a mature age, his powers shall appear before him. Yue grabbed his head. It just couldn't happen... why him?

:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:

Syaoran stared at the sleeping Sakura, her hair fallen all over her face and on her lips a peaceful smile. Over and over he chanted in his head "Must not get attached so quickly." but he couldn't help it. He didn't know how could he become so attached to her, though they've only talked for a short time. He tucked a strand of her hair behind her ear, removing his hand as she twitched slightly before falling asleep again, his face a soft crimson. His eyes traced her face in certain wonder. Her beautiful eyes, her oval-shaped face and feminine jaw, her lush rosy lips, her porcelain skin. He shook his head slightly. "Must not get attached so quickly." He muttered.

"She's kawaii, isn't she?" A voice interrupted his thoughts. Syaoran looked to see a boy in front of him, kneeling down before Sakura and looking at her with soft eyes of midnight. His navy hair was neat and his bangs were immensely long for the size of his short hair. He brushed his bangs away from his eyes and looked at Syaoran's confused face. "I'm sorry, I'm Eriol Hiiragizawa. I used to be a friend of hers." He said. His voice was calm, and had a certain wise-for-his-age tone.

Syaoran nodded, still a little surprised for his sudden appearance. "Are you older?" He asked, for Eriol looked taller and older. Eriol gave a smile. "Yeah. I'm seventeen. Don't tell her I came here and that you talked to me, okay? She... she doesn't like me that much anymore, but I assure you, I didn't do anything wrong to her." He added, seeing Syaoran's eyes look protecting at him.

Syaoran now looked very confused. "Okay?" He said uncertainly. Eriol nodded and said "Well, I must be off. Hopefully I'll see you. Bye." Eriol stood up and brushed the dirt off his pants. Syaoran stared after him confusedly, but then shook his head and continued to look at Sakura. A leaf fell on her face, and he gently brushed it away, his fingers making contact with her right cheek.

Heat rushed up to his face and colored it a light salmon pink, yet he absent-mindedlystarted to stroke her cheek with soft, careful fingers, moving from her cheek apples down to her chin. "Her cheek is so soft... and pretty..." Syaoran whispered, but then shook his head violently and removed his hand, realizing what he was doing. He just met her, and besides, he never thought about a girl like this. This was all strange to him, and obviously new. He sighed and sat beside her. Meiling had left earlier, saying that she had to do "stuff". Sakura groaned and fluttered her eyes open once again. "What did I miss?" She said groggily.

Syaoran had to smile. She was so innocent like that, though somehow he knew she wasn't. "Nothing." He replied, at the same time the school bell rang. She smiled softly and got up. "Hmm... that was a nice sleep." She told herself, as she rubbed the sleep out of her eyes.

:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:

"Meiling, I need to speak to you. It's important." Yue muttered. Meiling looked at him and said "Sure, what's up?" "Come with me." Yue commanded, leading them to something that resembled an office. "Please read this, Meiling." he instructed giving Meiling a thick book. She nodded and read.

El elegido será afectado por emociones dos veces tanto como seres humanos. Él sería a partir de un lado y del otro, pero no sería igual de su clase.

"What? I don't understand..." Meiling started, but Yue cut her off. "It says 'The chosen one shall be affected by emotions twice as much as human beings. He would be part of one side and the other, but never quite as equal as his kind.'. Do you now understand Meiling?"

Meiling thought for a second, her face strained. Then she gave a loud gasp. "Do you mean... the chosen one is Xiao-Lang?" She asked, not believing what she was hearing. "Yes, I think so." Yue said "I read the other two paragraphs that lead to him. The first one said 'Out of all of us, the boy in which half of his blood is human shall possess the power of the elements. A power which had disappeared many years ago...' and the second said 'Born out of wedlock and and under his parents' forbidden love, he shall appreciate what he has. When he is close to reaching a mature age, his powers shall appear before him. '... all these three paragraphs lead to him."

"Ugh, all this Spanish paragraphs are confusing. I knew he already wasn't normal, but he is really that special?" "Yes" Yue sighed. "I have to tell Xiao-Lang about this-" Meiling was interrupted by a loud "No!" Yue sighed and lowered his voice "Don't do it. I want him to find out on his own." Meiling looked puzzled for a second, and seemed as though she was going to say something, but instead mumbled a "Yes." and left.

Yue's eyes turned tired. Why Syaoran? He wasn't the right person to have such a power with him. He was only sixteen, after all. The elemental powers should be given to someone more experienced... someone who wasn't affected by human emotions twice as hard. Bringing his face down to his desk, he gave out a growl. "Yelan... why must you give me so many things to worry about?"

Meanwhile Syaoran read over a small book, leaning on the wall of his room, headphones around his head as usual. Slowly his eyes became heavy as the whispers of winds blew outside. Then suddenly he opened his eyes again as his body felt numb with cold, then warm again. He sighed and went outside through the window. He dropped to the floor and stood up, brushing the dust off his clothes. "I might as well do this now."

So, what's all this talk about a 'chosen one', huh? How about Sakura's weird dream? What could it possibly mean? And what's up with Yue here? Why is he so mad? Is Syaoran-kun becoming a little attracted to Sakura-chan? And how about Eriol-kun? What happened to him and Sakura-chan, and why doesn't she like him anymore? What was Syaoran-kun going to do out of his house? Why am I asking you all these questions? -Looks confused-

Heh, I used Spanish in this chapter. -Grins- And I'll probably use Spanish whenever someone reads from that book, okay? Anyway, all those questions will soon be answered. But, let's see something: When you guys review, try and take a guess on what Sakura's secret and Syaoran's secret is!

-Smiles and does that cool V sign- See ya!
