Where Syaoran is
Last night Wei drove Syaoran to their new house. Much smaller than his former mansion which he still intended to take back with some help from his gang. The house wasn't empty since there was furniture brought in when Wei purchased it, and the condition of the house was very tidy and new. Syaoran had collapsed into his new bed and fallen into a deep sleep, waking up at about 1pm.
" Master Li….Master Li, wake up!" Wei called from downstairs.
Half lying on the double bed with his face stuffed into the pillow Syaoran mumbled something and got up slowly and unsteadily walked downstairs. " Breakfast served Wei?" Syaoran yawned while shaking his head to wake up.
" Lunch sir. It's 1pm in the afternoon. You've had quite a sleep." Wei answered placing a tray with a plate of toast with eggs and a glass of water. Syaoran stared at the plate of so called 'food' for a minute and looked back at Wei who sighed.
" I'm sorry sir. That's all we have now. But I'll get more when I go shopping today. But…we can't afford to buy what we use to have. Eat this now and you can see what's left in the fridge. I might go out for a while so lock the doors when you go out too." And with that, Wei took his coat and walked out.
Syaoran was still left looking awkwardly at his plate but his stomach was growling so hard. He quickly finished up the food and went back upstairs to change into his black cargos and a polo shirt. Suddenly he heard his cell phone ring.
" Yo! Where have you been Syao? I've been trying to call you all night!" Eriol's screaming voice shouted into the phone.
" I've been….out. Anyways, look. Something's happened and I need your help so, call up the others and meet me at the river in 10 minutes sharp!" He hung up the phone and rushed out the door.
Outside was in full sunshine that it blinded his eye for a second. Then getting a good look around he ran down the street looking for directions since Wei took the car with him.
At the river
" So you expect me to believe that Brazil is actually the name of a plant…." Takashi started. The whole gang was waiting impatiently by the side of Tomeodo Lake. All 12 members expected they would be torturing some other helpless little gang.
In the distance, a faint black figure was running towards them. Syaoran was almost exhausted when we got to them huffing and puffing. " Oh my god… hahaha" Eriol laughed. " Where's your car?"
After he had caught his breath back and stood up straight Syaoran explained what his uncle had done.
" Yeh so now I'm broke." He sighed.
" Ouch, that's harsh. You just say the word and we'll take him out!" Eriol exclaimed.
" We've got your back all the way. Even if it is your own uncle." The others all agreed.
" Thanks guys but we can't just take him out now. I know he has his own organization. I was checking out some info on him and turns out, his one of the members in this top-secret organization called The Alliance, and I got no idea what the hell that is."
" We'll check it out for you Syaoran. Meanwhile…err, just try to settle in being with the average folks hahah."
" The rest of you guys. Just stay low for now and chill out. Once everything is set, I'll call you." Syaoran said.
Sakura's House. 4:00pm
A boring Saturday afternoon at the Kinomoto house. Strangely enough it was the middle of winter but the temperature was over 40 degrees. Sakura sat at her computer staring at the screen constantly clicking her mouse for no particular reason. There was a reason for this. The only thoughts floating around in her mind were:
I'm bored. I'm broke. I'm boiling hot. Over and over again. Finally she broke it off. " Shut up conscience!" She slapped herself awake. " I need fresh air."
In a park
The sun glared straight down at Sakura as she walked over to the seat under the shade of the trees. She wore long ripped jeans and a sleeveless blue top. Around the park. Children played in the swings and sand pit seeming not bothered at all by the weather, people jogged pass and smiled.
No one else seems to be affected by the damn sun. Why do I feel like I'm melting…melting…melting…I thought I told you to shut up. She sighed. The damn sun's only following me around huh? Stupid bright shining piece of crap.
Using whatever energy hadn't been absorbed by the sun yet, Sakura got up and walked off. " I know. Ice cream! Or anything cold at least, I'm totally dying of sunburn out here. Course it was my idea of coming out anyways, but then I did have to get out from that room and why am I talking to myself …BUMP
Sakura felt herself fall backwards in slow motion and hit hard on the ground. She rubbed her eyes and stared up at man looking down at her.
" Are you alright Kinomoto?"
Who the hell… " Huh? Oh. It's you again. Syaoran right?"
" Yeah. So, how've you been?"
" Why the hell didn't you catch me?" Sakura said as she got up rubbing her head.
" Sorry, I was …daydreaming while walking. But, hey it led me here. What a perfect coincidence." Syaoran laughed nervously.
" Well.. uhh, yeah. I'm going now. Bye!" Sakura quickly started walking off but felt Syaoran follow.
" So, where are you heading?" He started while walking closely behind her.
Sakura gave no response and picked up her pace curving from side to side. " You know I'm still here Kinomoto. It's rude to ignore someone talking to you."
Finally she stopped walking. " You're right, it is rude. Sorry I'm just really burning from the sun and my mind is so messed up right now."
Syaoran took Sakura's hand and lead her to an ice cream stall, which just so happens to be located conveniently across the road.
" Good Day youngsters, how can I help you?" asked the man behind the counter with a red and white striped apron. He smiled curiously at Syaoran who returned a confused look.
" Three scoops of chocolate please." Syaoran replied giving the man the money.
" And I want 2 scoops of wasabi ice cream please." Said Sakura.
As they walked off Syaoran couldn't help but stare at Sakura while she was eating her wasabi ice cream. " Um, isn't that really hot?"
She continued eating. " An ice cream stall here in winter… makes you think doesn't it. So… Knight number one, how's life with your rich castle and many lady housekeepers and fancy cars?"
Looking away Syaoran continued eating. " My uncle tricked me and I lost everything. You?"
" That's terrible." Sakura continued licking her ice cream. " Money isn't everything. Things happen for a reason. You can't expect a perfect life just for nothing."
My exams are coming up soon. I should really study. If I don't pass, I'll let down Touya and Dad.
"Kinomoto" Syaoran said waving his hand in front of her face. " Do you always space out like this?"
" Huh? Oh yeah, it comes and goes. Happens a lot lately."
Syaoran looked around the park. The children played so joyfully and annoyingly close while the parents walking pass smiled and then whispered. " Wonderful community. Do you come to the park often?"
" HELL NO, in fact it's a rare thing that I came out today. I don't really mind the park but it's just…I, why am I telling you so much?" She continued eating when suddenly a large bird flew in front of Sakura.
" AHHHHHH! Kill it! Kill it!" Sakura screamed and almost everyone turned to stare at her. Even the children were frightened and ran away.
Syaoran tapped lightly on her shoulders but Sakura was waving her arms everywhere like a crazed maniac. " SAKURA!" A sudden stop. She breathed deeply. " It flew away. It was just a magpie."
" Yeah well…whatever." She continued eating her ice cream ignoring what just happened.
" If I didn't know better, I'd say you have a fear of birds." He smiled.
" Your crazy. Don't say crazy things" She stuttered
" They're just birds. What's so scary?" He laughed.
" That…my good knight, is none of your business." She smiled back. " Well, I'm finished. I better get going."
Syaoran stood up. " Can I at least walk you home? I mean, you might encounter a lot of birds in a place like this." He joked. He asked already walking along ahead.
" You think you're smart don't you? Well, ok. BUT! …I'm watching you Knight number one." Her eyes glaring straight at Syaoran who laughed. " Call me Li?"
" Nah, Knight number one sounds better. Hahaha, this is like a Shakespeare thing." Sakura started as they walked together. " I dub you Sir Li the first!" She smacked him on the head." And laughed till unexpectedly received a hit in return on her head.
" You are one weird girl Kinomoto."
As they walked off into the distance, a man watched closely from a black car across the road, his eyes staring keenly at Syaoran. He reached for his mobile in the pocket of his red and white striped apron and held it close to his ear.
" Yes, it's me. Target was in sight but an unknown third party was present. I need more time." He said.
" You have 2 weeks to get the job done. If Syaoran starts searching for answers he'll destroy our plan. I want my nephew dead. Take out anyone who gets in your way." The recipient answered.
DUN DUN DUN! So how was that chap? Not much action really but it gets better. GIMME a review! Flames are accepted if properly justified.
Next Chapter- Sakura and Syaoran's first date goes terribly wrong when a mysterious girl appears. Don't worry its not Syaoran's ex…
Possibilities for later chapters: A car crash, a gang fight and a death triangle.
