Chapter Two: She's real!
Eriol looked at his cousin, his mind debating whether he should believe him or not.
"Are you sure you're okay Syaoran?" he asked.
"The Fairy of the Sakura tree" Syaoran repeated.
His cousin just looked at him quizzically.
"I saw her! The fairy with emerald eyes!" he yelled.
"Cuz… there's no such thing as fairies." Eriol said firmly.
"I thought so too but I saw one! I saw the fairy of the Cherry tree!"
Everyone gathered around them. Listening carefully to the young lad's words, making sure they heard it right.
"My son has seen a fairy… how… interesting." Syaoran's father said.
Eriol placed his hand on his cousin's forehead.
"You don't have a fever…" he said.
Syaoran swiped Eriol's hand away and stood up.
"I'm fine. If you don't believe me, it's up to you." he said and walked towards the car.
"Syaoran…" Eriol started to say something but he didn't get to finish it as the amber-eyed-boy sped away. "Darn!" he cursed. "Uncle… how are we supposed to get home?" he asked the old man standing beside him.
Syaoran drove to his limits, anger blazing in his eyes.
"She's real. I know she is!" he exclaimed.
He drove and drove until he reached the inn.
"Meiling!" he shouted.
"Syao!" The young girl greeted.
"Do you know a place I could stay for a while?" he asked.
Meiling looked at her cousin, totally confused.
"Your house. Your room. Your bed." she said.
Syaoran shook his head.
'No! I mean, a place I could be alone for a while. I don't feel like seeing my father, Eriol or any other person that I know or who knows me." he said.
"Unfortunately, Li Syaoran. Your father is quite a famous person and there are a few places that your name is unknown. Practically the whole world knew about the famous Li's. The greatest hunters in history."
Syaoran sighed. "I guess you're right. I'll be going now." he said and left. Leaving the vehicle behind.
"Syao…"
"Tell my father I won't be home for a few days." he said and ran out of sight.
Syaoran's POV
I ran and ran. Not caring about the strange looks people were giving me. I don't know why I'm acting like this.
Is it because of that stupid fairy?
That stupid, beautiful, irresistible fairy!
Why does she have to be so darn likable!
I ran and ran and without me noticing it, I was again in the forest.
I looked up. The moon was still there together with a couple of stars.
A dark cloud covered the moon, preventing its mystifying light from escaping. What a sad sight.
I walked and again I found myself at that glorious garden.
The cloud disappeared and the moonlight scattered, making a beautiful sight.
It was just like a stage spotlight and guess where the light is shining.
The Sakura Tree.
And there she was. Just like the last time I saw her.
She smiled at me, her emerald eyes inviting me to sit with her in the lowest branch.
I sat down beside her. The cherry blossoms were falling. It was raining petals…
"My name is Sakura…" she said.
"Please call me Syaoran." I said.
She smiled again.
I think… no, that's not right.
I'm definitely in love.
And I'm not afraid to announce it to the whole world.
But I am a little bit scared of telling it to her.
What if…
She'll reject me?
"Is something the matter?" she asked.
In her face a frown was formed.
How cute.
She's worried about me.
"Are you alright?"
Her question broke my thoughts.
"I'm alright. No need to worry." I assured her.
"Then its okay." she sighed with relief.
"Are you a fairy?"
I can't help but ask. If she really is a fairy…
Am I fit to love her or even know her?
Am I fit to be her friend?
"Why do you ask?" she asked.
I told her I was curious and she gave me a sad look.
"Curiosity brings trouble and doubts." she said.
I don't understand… but I can't ask.
Especially now that I think I hurt her feelings.
I'm so stupid.
"You must go back now." she said.
"But I've only been here for a minute!" I protested.
The same blinding light surrounded her.
I closed my eyes and when I opened them…
I was in the forest.
Gee… what happened?
I walked around and recognized my surroundings.
I started for home.
Where else could I go?"
I walked and walked and then I reached the inn.
Nobody there.
But it's night time! Where could they have gone.
Eriol should be back by now. And where's Meiling?
Well, whatever it is, it's none of my business.
I walked home.
I reached the doorstep and noticed that the light was still on.
Is there a party?
Probably not.
Probably…
Why am I so curious?
Curiosity brings trouble and doubts.
Sakura…
What did she mean?
I knocked on the door.
"C-Come in…" a man's voice said.
I could have sworn right then and there that that's my father.
But why does his voice sound so sad and miserable.
Well, only one way to find out.
Once I opened the door, a surprising sight made my jaw drop.
"What's happening in here!" I exclaimed.
