Overture
Few Days After the Concert
"HOE!"
A shriek ran throughout the house, loud and scary enough to make people jump out of their skins. Surprisingly, the only person in the house didn't seem to notice it. A man sitting in the kitchen continued munching on his bread, reading the newspaper.
Thump boom thump thump clash thump A figure slowly emerged from the stairs, causing a racket while thumping her way down.
"Ohayo Onni-chan!" Sakura shouted out from the bottom of the stairs, rushing into the kitchen.
"Ohayo kaiju. I see that you have finally…" The man was cut off by the presence of his sister, and after a moment while his face turned beet red, and a cry of pain broke out through the house.
Sakura smiled with satisfaction of the result of her work, while she watched her brother nursing his throbbing foot. She sat down across him, grabbed his untouched fried egg and gobbled it up.
"Ack! You little kaiju! You stole my egg!"
"Sakura is NOT a kaiju! And it's called revenge, my dear brother." Sakura stuck out her tongue at him, and turned back to her food. Suddenly, her head bolted up, and with a shocked expression, she cried out: "Wah! I can't believe it!" She and faced the end of the table, where her father always kept a picture of her mom that he changed everyday. "ACK NO! I CAN'T BELIEVE IT! I ACTUALLY FORGOT TO GREET MOM GOOD MORNING!" Sakura particularly yelled out. Then, bowing her head low as if apologizing, she greeted her mother good morning, apologized for forgetting, and then finally continued to eat.
From the other side of the table, Touya smiled to his sister's actions. After all, it had been a regular routine of Sakura's to greet their mother every morning before breakfast since she passed away. All these years, starting from when she was three, this habit had never worn off. Touya sighed inwardly. 'Geez, I wonder what would become of her. After all, she was 20, but still acting as if she was still in 4th grade…guess she'll just never grow up.' But then, he knew better than anyone how his little sister really was. There was no doubt that he need not to worry about anything, she'll find a way herself. The only thing that really bothered him though was that brat. He frowned, and tried to shake the thought off. 'That lousy little brat is something to be forgotten, though I have a bad feeling about this…what was his name again? I remember Sakura telling its something like…Syao? Or was it Lang? Somehow they both seem correct…'
THUMP
Cut of from his thoughts, Touya realized that his sister had just finished eating and the noise he had just heard came from her slamming her hands down on the table. "Oie! If you aren't careful and don't watch it, a kaiju like you could easily break all these plates and bowls here! Big huge ugly monsters should be more careful of what they do, not to say they shouldn't ever…" He paused, and moved his foot away just in time before another loud thump was heard from under the table. He smirked at his sister's pained expression due to the contact of her foot with the wooden floor, and continued. "…EVER slam their hands down on the table after they finish eating. It's not polite anyways you know, KAIJU."
Sakura glared at him, fumed. Just as she was thinking up a revenge plan, the doorbell rang. She remembered right away that she had promised Tomoyo that they would go shopping together today. Making a face to her brother, she jumped up and grabbed her handbag, and half-ran to the door, with the confused and startled Touya at her heels. Then, while putting on her shoes, she told him: "I'm going to the mall with Tomoyo, so eat lunch by yourself!" Then before he could find time to reply something mean, she added: "And yes, I am ditching you." With a victorious smirk, she turned, walked out the door and then closed the door in his ignorant face.
"Ohayo Sakura! It's so nice to see you again!" With that, Sakura found herself being half-strangled by her best friend…AGAIN.
"Ne, but Tomoyo, we just met a few days ago!" Sakura wheezed out.
"Oh come on Sakura! It seemed like a whole year to me!" Squealing, she whipped out her video camera out of no where, and started to tape. "Ah, Sakura, I really need to get you a new dress done! Look at it! It's been years since I taped you wearing the clothes I make for you! I think I'll make a rainbow colored one this time! Let's see, where can I buy the best rainbow colored cloth? And I'll have to need a lot of ribbons too, and I'm out of white thread and…."
Sakura sweat-dropped. Sighing, she shook her head. "Tomoyo hasn't changed at all. She'll never get over making me clothes. And what's with the 'years' part? I wore the green dress that she made for me in the last concert a few days ago! Hmm…now that I think about it…that concert… green…13th of July…Xiao Lang…" Sakura stared up into the sky, and smiled sadly. 'I'm so stupid. He must have already forgotten about me ages ago. After all, I was just the little girl that played with him when he was a kid right? Why would he remember someone like that? And I don't have anything special, or charming, not like him…those amber eyes…' She closed her eyes, and started to picture that little boy from the depth of her memories who had brown hair amber eyes in her mind, thinking back to all those happy days…
Flashback
Dingdong
"I'll get that!" Little Sakura shouted out. She dashed to the door in full speed, and pulled it open/.
"Hey Sakura, want to come go fishing again?" Little Syaoran stood at the door with a fishing rod over his shoulder, dress in sport clothes.
"Sure! Why not? Just wait, I gotta ask daddy!" Sakura bounced back into the house, and after asking for permission, bounced back again. "Come on, let's go!" She called out, and started skipping towards the lake where they went fishing.
Syaoran chuckled at the little bouncing figure in front of him. She was always so full of energy, as if nothing could ever get that smile off her face. And even if it somehow did, Syaoran knew that those bright emerald orbs would betray them in no time. At this, he ran forward to catch up with her, and they started chatting happily while walking down the street…
End of Flashback
Sakura smiled, remembering how they later caught a huge fish and Touya (A/N: forced by Yukito of course…X3) had helped them barbeque it in their backyard. Somehow that meal seemed to the best she had ever ate and even now, she could still remember the taste of the fish in her mouth.
"Helloooo!" A voice broke through her thoughts. "Earth calling Sakura!" Sakura blinked, and found her best friend's hand waving up and down in front of her face. "Oie, are you OK? You've been out in space for the last five minute already! How in the world are we gonna get to the mall if you won't even budge from your front door!" Tomoyo started rambling on again, and once in a while she even put on her puppy faces.
"Gomen ne Tomo-chan. I was just thinking of some…well, things. Anyways, wanna start heading to the mall already?" Smiling, Sakura grabbed the still jabbering Tomoyo towards the car.
Somewhere else in the city
As he walked down the street, every single girl turned and stared. He frowned, uneasy and unhappy with all the attention he was getting. After all, he didn't have any interest in girls at all. His friends had always thought him funny, but he just didn't really care. Every girl was the same kind of bitchy person to him. He strolled on, having no particular goal to where he was going.
'Weird,' he thought. 'I have no memory what so ever in coming to this place before in my life. And yet, there's a familiar sense to it, as if I hadn't only been here before, but also lived here for sometime. Especially about that girl a few days ago…she was really strange…Nothing like any girl I've ever seen known. She seems nice, happy, and well, familiar. Not to say that those eyes, that voice, the way she smiles, the way she looks at me…so…so innocent, so angelic.' He shook his head violently, trying to figure out what was wrong with him these days. He somehow just can't stop thinking about that girl and those green orbs.
'Ah well, I might as well go to the mall and get some clothes and stuff like that. After all, I'll have to be living here for about a year. Might as well fit in.' He started towards his rented apartment, and went straight to the basement to where his new car was parked. As he started the car to the direction of the mall, he suddenly remembered that name. The name that had popped up in his head so suddenly after he had been trying to remember it all these years — Ying Hua. After he had gotten back from the concert the name just disappeared from his memory again, just like how it just popped up now.
'VERY VERY weird.' He thought. 'I still want to learn more about this name though, for all I know now is her name, her birthday, that she's really cute and pretty, innocent, always cheerful, extremely nice and warmhearted…and makes me feel really happy and warm. Not much at all. Wait, if I remember correctly…isn't there something about green and pink also!' He closed his eyes, trying his best to dig back into his memory. He was getting good at this these days, since he seemed to be always trying to remember something from the past and trying to dig up old memories from the back of his head. Especially everything he can on this girl .After a few tries, he gave up and sighed. 'Obviously not good enough yet though, or else I would have long remembered everything about her.' At this thought he arrived at the parking lot, and his mind wandered else where, into the shops.
In the Mall
"Oh my god Tomoyo! Come look at this! Isn't this shirt such a pretty pink color! I can't believe that I don't remember having any cloth with this shade of pink. Wait for me a moment would you? I'm going to go and pay for this!" Sakura excitingly grabbed the tank top and half-ran to the cashier.
"But Sakura, almost everything you wear is in pink! Can't you change the color just for ONCE! Here wait up!" Seeing that Sakura wasn't listening to her at all, Tomoyo just grabbed the white dress that she had been studying just now and chassed after Sakura. The salesladies sweat-dropped, and whispered among themselves. But suddenly hushed up when they caught sight of an amber eyed hottie wonder aimlessly towards the male section. Then just as sudden as they had turned quite, they started squealing and giggling among themselves again, drooling over him.
Syaoran sighed. He knew he shouldn't have walked past the female section of this clothes store, but those salesladies should at least try to quite down a bit, their squealing and giggling was getting on his nerves. He started walking faster towards his destination, but suddenly stopped short when he heard a familiar voice.
But Tomoyo! I promise I'll try that dress on after I pay for this pink tank top!"
"NO. You're going to try this dress on first, and no more arguing. In you go." Tomoyo half dragged, half pushed Sakura into the changing room, closed the door and stood there smiling triumphantly while everyone else around just stared and sweat dropped.
Sakura grimaced and started putting on the dress. She had been really excited about buying that pink tank top. But then, she could almost never win an argument against Tomoyo. She had to admit though, that the clothes Tomoyo picked were always splendid. The dress was simple, but not that casual either. The collar of the dress was very unique; looking a bit ragged, but at the same time neat. While the top of the dress was tight, the bottom flowed out around her, puffing out and ruffled. The rim on the dress was uneven, giving it a fluffy feeling, and on the edges there were little golden silk stars sewn here and there. A bright red ribbon was tied at her breast, adding the sense of color onto the dress. After twirling around in front of the mirror one last time, she walked out the dressing room to Tomoyo who was standing outside.
"KAWAII!" Tomoyo particularly screamed out when she saw Sakura. "OMG! I knew that it would fit you perfectly! What did I tell you Sakura? Isn't it just fabulous? Ohohohoho…."
Sakura nearly fell over listening to her friend rambling on again, while she once again whipped out her video camera from out of no where and started video taping her again. Suddenly though, she caught sight of messy chestnut hair, and spun around quickly to stare right back into Xiao Lang's amber eyes.
Xiao Lang stood there, transfixed and dazed by the site in front of him. He had heard Sakura's voice and turned around in time to see her being pushed into a dressing room by a violet haired girl whom he faintly remembered seeing around Sakura during the concert a few days ago. Just as he was about to turn away and leave, he saw her walk out of the dressing room in that white dress, and he just froze.
'An angel…' Where his first thoughts. But he quickly shook it off, telling himself that it was just another girl. 'A beautiful girl who looks exactly like a fallen angel from heaven…' He had been staring at her when she suddenly spun around, and caught him red-handed when those piercing emerald eyes looked straight into his amber ones. 'Oh great, now she's going to call me a stalker, a pervert. But those eyes…they're so innocent, so warm…just like an angel's…and her face, it distantly reminds me of someone, someone important…but who?' Just then, that name flashed into his head once again, and gasped silently. 'Could it be? Could it be that this angel standing in front of me right not is the same girl as the Ying Hua that I'm so desperately trying to remember? No…it can't be…it's impossible…but then…' His thoughts were cut off suddenly when Sakura suddenly smiled at him, a warm, friendly bright smile that made Xiao Lang blush a little, but most importantly, that smile strung something inside of him, something familiar. The radar that the angel gave off also seemed familiar, but he just couldn't remember where he had felt it before. He sighed inwardly and gave up, smiling back at the angel.
Sakura had been lost in those amber eyes, drowning in their beautiful color. It wasn't until those eyes suddenly opened wide in shock that she came back to reality. She wasn't sure why those eyes had been shocked; she hoped that it wasn't because of her. But remembering her manners, Sakura had smiled at him and strangely felt relieved when he smiled back.
For some strange reason that Xiao Lang didn't understand, those angelic emerald orbs had relaxed the moment he smiled back at her, as if she felt relieved. He smiled to himself, realizing what an innocent caring person the angel is, just like…her…
"Ying Hua" he muttered under his breath, but at once regretted doing so. 'Idiot! Who the hell mutters strange names to himself in public? Now everyone will think that you're a no use psycho!' But for some even stranger reason, instead of confusion, the angel's eyes had clouded up with shock and surprise.
It had been Sakura's turn to be shocked when he faintly caught what he muttered to himself. 'Ying Hua? I remember that phrase! It was what Syaoran used to call me, he said that it meant Sakura in Chinese…why does he know that? Did I hear wrong? But I'm pretty sure that I didn't get it wrong…Wait, if I remember correctly, he's from Hong Kong too…that means he would speak Chinese too…maybe he's just translating my name…after all, he doesn't recognize me at all…but why would he randomly translate my name?' Recovered from her shock, Sakura's expression changed into confusion as she looked at Xiao Lang, who had the exact same expression on his face until he heard what she said next.
"Little Wolf."
