Chapter 5: Good-bye Syaoran? (One year later)
---------------------------------------------------------
"I'm done with the cleaning, Mayko-sempai. Would you have me do anything else?"
"No, that would be all. Thank you, Sakura. You may leave."
Sakura bowed and walked off to find Tomoyo and Syaoran. As she neared the rooms of the elders who took care of the orphans, she heard a very similar voice.
'Should I have a peek? No! That's bad! But…Tomoyo and Syaoran always does it when they think it'll be valuable information.' Sakura stood there for a minute or two longer and decided to have a peek. 'It's just a tiny peek. Nothing harmful. It might even benefit me and if it doesn't, then that's fine also.'
Sakura walked quietly over to the door, which was opened a tiny crack and peeked inside. Who she saw, she never would have expected. Syaoran. Listening quietly she heard things that she wished were not true.
"Syaoran, do you know why you were called here?"
Syaoran bowed and said in a deep tone, "No, Sempai, I do not."
"Well, today is a wonderful day for you. You are being adopted into the powerful Li family."
Sakura let out a gasp, but quickly covered her mouth, so no one would hear her.
Syaoran wiped his head up and looked at the elders in the room. "What? But-but why would they want me? Me of all people?"
"Well, it seems that you fit into their category for the next heir to their throne."
"Fit into their category? Am I some kind of item?" Syaoran said angrily.
"Syaoran please, calm yourself. You are going to be adopted into the most powerful family in this country. Do you know what that means? You, the next heir to the throne. Do you not care?"
"No. I do not care."
This caused the head elder to stand. "Why you little-"
"Sir! I'll handle this on my own." Said the man who was originally speaking. "I am to be the next head master and I think this would be a very good opportunity to gain experience, don't you?"
With a nod from the head elder, the heir to the orphanage continued.
"Now Syaoran, you must consider this wonderful opportunity. It will grant you anything you wish. You will have all the money in the world. Do you not want that?"
"Sempai, may I remind you that money is not the most important thing in the world?"
"Oh? And who taught you that?" the man raised his eye brows and looked quizzically at Syaoran.
"A girl named Sakura."
