The air around the World Tree began to glow a light pink and a pentagram appeared on the ground beneath Syaoran and Sakura, it the same shade of pink as the air around it, but glowing more brightly. A much brighter flash sprang across the plaza, being a blinding white light, it completely clouded the view so that nothing inside the plaza was visible. Then the light began to dissipate and everything became more visible. At the top of the stairs at the base of the World Tree, or rather on the stone platform in front of the World Tree, lay Syaoran and Sakura. They laid unconscious, they had fallen a part slightly, but their hands were still touching the other's.
From the shadow of a nearby building, on the side of the plaza, the man that had showed them to this place now came out. With a slight smirk, he rested them up against the tree itself, on the side facing the large lake. He said only one thing, "How fortunate for you...Though, you may not think so at first." With that comment, the man left, back into the city.
------------Several Hours Later------------
It was quickly approaching dusk and no one had found Sakura and Syaoran tucked beneath the World Tree. The light was becoming more and more red. And the sky reflecting back upon the surface of the lake, making it gleam the color of the sunset. Syaoran began to stir, he thought to himself, "Huh, I usually don't fall asleep like that in the afternoon." He let his head fall forward a bit, but when he did, he saw a brief flash of Auburn colored hair. "What? I don't have auburn colored hair, did Sakura lose a little on me while we were kissing...no, that wouldn't make sense, she's shorter than me..." Syaoran felt a slight cold draft, which woke him up. What he saw, terrified him slightly, but whether it was out of sheer shock or out of horror, he did not know at the time. He saw Sakura's dress on him, or rather that he was wearing it. He continued to think, "Really funny Sakura, you got me good this time." Thinking that Sakura had played a trick on him. He got up and walked over to the ledge, thinking that Sakura would be hiding under or behind it, he didn't see her. He looked down at a puddle, and got a glimpse of himself, except it wasn't him...It was Sakura. "Is this possible?" He dropped to his knees and started to feel around his body to make sure it wasn't some illusion. It was when he looked down at his chest, that he no longer had any doubt, he saw Sakura's breasts. Or rather the rise of them, and he then felt them to make sure they weren't some trick. "They're real. That means that...This is Sakura's body." He began to blush profusely the shade of a ripened tomato, his delicate cheeks were completely red. He turned around to the tree, to see his body sleeping against the tree.
He walked over and sat beside Sakura, and then whispered into her ear, "Good Morning, Sakura," his voice sounding so sweet and innocent, despite the obvious frustration in it. Sakura slowly left the realm of dreams and thought, "That didn't sound like Syaoran, who is that?" Sakura looked to see who it was, she was stunned to see herself there. She only muttered out, "Syaoran...that you?" Syaoran smiled slightly, though he himself would have never done it, Sakura's body did of its own accord. And he said sweetly, again without meaning to, "Yes, Sakura." Sakura continued to stare dumbstruck and confused at this "Syaoran"...except what she was looking at was herself, she couldn't get past that fact. "What happened? Why is Syaoran in my body and why am I in Syaoran's body? We only kissed, and it wasn't that deep of a kiss either. And it isn't the first time we kissed, so why? Why did this happen? Ho-eh! It's too much to think on!"
Syaoran seizing an opportunity, leaned over and kissed Sakura lightly on the cheek. "Sy-Syaoran! Wha-, What's going on?" Syaoran replied softly and reassuringly, "I don't know, but I'm sure everything will be alright." They slipped into a shallow embrace, but did not kiss each other, instead staring into each others' eyes, their own eyes.
------------Elsewhere---------
Touya had pushed the man that had led Syaoran and Sakura away from the meeting with the headmaster into the wall, grasping the man's collar. "What did you do with them?" Touya practically screaming into the man's face. A gentle smile only spread further onto the man's face. "Damn it, Eriol! What the hell did you do with them? Where are they?" His worries beginning to show more apparently in the form of determined anger. Eriol then replied quietly, "By no means are they harmed, Touya. If that's what you're wondering. They just wanted some air and they went out into the city." He then smirked as if he was hiding something. Touya then replied with even more anger, "Yeah, and I am the fucking king of Siam...Where'd you take Sakura?" Eriol responded, "So, she's no longer your little sister, is she?" Touya let up his grip a little bit, "You were there, you should have already known that she isn't my little sister, no matter how much I wanted it to be her, it just isn't. Just when I thought that that monster had come back, she didn't come back at all."
----------Back at the World Tree----------
Syaoran and Sakura had gotten up and were sitting up on the ledge, admiring the sunset together, a luxury they seldom had in most worlds. Sakura, extending one arm around Syaoran's waist, leaning her head on Syaoran's. Syaoran had since wrapped his arms around Sakura. Neither realized that they were doing this, until they felt the other's lips set softly upon their own.
They separated slightly, and looked back at the other. Syaoran spoke softly, being the only tone he could force out of Sakura's voice, "This world, seems to have magic around in the air. You think that it may be possible to ask someone what's going on and why this happened?" This was obviously the most unexpected thing that they could have encountered, in all their travels together, never did they expect that they would have switched bodies. And Sakura thought that it was making Syaoran somewhat unnerved and perhaps unsure, but she didn't know how to help him. Never before had she seen him in this state.
Syaoran looked Sakura in the eye, and saw that her pupils and closed in an almost trance like state. Sakura leaned forward and embraced Syaoran,Syaoran was slightly taken by surprise by this, but slowly wrapped his arms around Sakura's neck. He felt Sakura pull his light body closer to hers. Syaoran, now also under what seemed like a trance, began to blush profusely.
Syaoran thought to himself, "What's going on? My body...no, Sakura's body is just moving...I don't want it to do this, but it's...it's feeling so good. What's going on Sakura?"
Sakura also thought to herself, "Syaoran, Please...Don't hate me, this isn't my fault...your body...it's moving...it's moving though I don't want it to. Tell me, tell me why...Syaoran!"
Sakura's hands began to slowly move up and down Syaoran's waist, she had him pinned up against the World Tree itself. Syaoran still had his arms wrapped around Sakura's neck, and his eyes were clamped shut as Sakura slowly did this and that with him. He occasionally gave off moans of pleasure, into the setting sun.
The sun had been set for a few hours before they feel from exhaustion, their bodies no longer able to keep up what their trances had demanded of them. Syaoran fell dead tired, his weakened and almost frail body fell to the ground and he breathed heavily. "At least, we didn't get too far. That's the last thing we need to do right now." That was the thought on both of their minds.
Sakura had plopped down right beside Syaoran, and only stared at his emerald eyes. "Wait...why am I starring at my own body? I only lived in it for my entire life...so, why?" Syaoran, though exhausted, managed to look up to Sakura and he began to marvel at her. And he too, had similar thoughts.
Syaoran, then gave into the exhaustion and succumbed to world of dreams. His skirt blowing gently with the pulses of the wind, and mutually with his hair. Sakura pulled Syaoran's tiny wounded body up to her own and held him there. She began to run her hand through his hair, parting it when the wind blew it into his face; sometimes tucking it behind his ear.
There came the slight noise of someones foot steps, no it was two peoples. The sound came from the courtyard. There stood the man that had shown them to the World Tree in the first place and beside him a young woman with light purple hair and appeared to be the same age as him. They approached the couple that sat up against the tree.
"We wondered where you two were?" Eriol said. The woman had only caught a glimpse of a woman with auburn hair resting up against a man of about the same age. "Sakura-chan!" the woman practically yelled and had woken Syaoran up. "Oh and Syaoran-kun!" They both recognized who was speaking to them, but they couldn't utter a word because of the sheer shock Tomoyo had inflicted upon them. "Tomoyo, don't get carried away. These people may look like them, but they aren't really them." "What are talking about Eriol?" He knelt down and whispered to her everything that had happened, their story, and he mentioned something else. "They have been inflicted by CHANGE." The thought of that card had brought back a stern memory to Tomoyo when it was last used. A strange twinkle was shot out a Syaoran, as she looked at him rather sinisterly.
"Oh, I have some outfits I want you to try on!" Her mood lightened and she pulled the half awake Syaoran with her to her and Eriol's house across the city. Sakura waited outside of what seemed to be an extremely large closet filled with all kinds of clothes and still had enough room to change in it.
After twenty minutes of Tomoyo running through the closet and getting the outfit and her camera, she stuffed Syaoran into the tight fitting outfit. There was very little room to spare, it had obviously been made a long time ago and had not been made for Sakura's body.
Syaoran's face was a shade of beet red when Tomoyo pushed him out of the room and in front of Sakura. The outfit hugged every curve on Syaoran's body and the skirt part came up a tad bit on the miniature side for Syaoran's tastes, but he hadn't had a choice in the matter. It stopped about 6 inches from his knee and left nothing about his legs to the imagination. The outfit was bright and cheery, of varying shades of pink and white. His white top has been replaced by a piece of clothing that covered the abdomen more, but left much of his breasts exposed. She had even forced him to wear some shoes that Syaoran didn't know how to walk in, they were very high heel shoes, perhaps 3 inch heels.
Tomoyo pushed out the door of the closet and he stumbled to regain his balance, but he fell backwards. His skirt offered little protection from people looking up at his private area. Tomoyo helped him up and again pushed him forward, this time, he didn't trip backward, but instead forwards onto Sakura. He fell into Sakura's chest, his hands pressed hard between his body and hers, and Sakura's arms stretched around him. He blushed slightly and leaned up to kiss Sakura. Tomoyo let out, "Ho ho ho ho ho...," as she proceeded to tape the couple.
As if on cue, in came Eriol with a familiar white friend Mokona. "Sakura! Syaoran!" "Moko-chan!" "Mokona." Mokona looked puzzled at the two of them, "Is something wrong?" "You don't sound like Sakura, and you don't sound like Syaoran...hmm...you sound like you are each other!" Eriol interrupted the white creature, "Can we ask you two of something?" Sakura and Syaoran looked at each other before they answered, "Sure."
Eriol pulled out an aged book, it still had a layer of dust on it, despite being moved from its location, where ever it had been kept. Immediately, Syaoran ran up to the book and started looking it over. "Whoa, Sakura-chan. You don't need to get like that over it." Syaoran, realizing that it was him that Eriol was referring to, replied, "Gomen." He went back to his place on Sakura's lap. And Eriol continued, "Just before you arrived, a couple of the items contained in this book, escaped. We can't open this book and we can't use the item for capturing them. And we know that the Sakura that was born in this world had used the item and had captured these, so we were wondering if you could." Eriol walked slowly forward and placed the book in Syaoran's hand. "Sakura-chan, use this." He handed Syaoran a necklace with a star shaped pendant. Say this, "Key which hides the power of the stars, show your true form before me. I, Sakura, command you under our contract. Release." Tomoyo, continuing to film the situation, sat by and watched.
Syaoran thought, "Wait, I'm not Sakura. I don't have magical powers of any kind!" But despite this dilemma, he still grasped the pendant and began the incantation. He spoke in a soft, but stern voice."Key which hides the power of the stars, show your true form before me. I, Sakura, command you under our contract. Release!"
