The Sunshine of My Life

Chapter 2-Missing you…

Li Estate in Hongkong…

A young man, about 16 years old just sat on the couch in his room, listening to the music…recalling things…things to please his troubled mind…but he is not able to do that for he feels like he left the only thing that pleases him…and not just any thing…it is this certain emerald-eyed girl…so special to him that he feels somewhat lost without her by his side.

I have passed all the tests, the intense training is over… I think… and I am ready to be officially pronounced the leader of the Li clan, all I have to do is to wait for the day I turn 18. That's just 2 years away. School…another problem…oh yeah…school's not the problem… it's the girls in school that's the problem, too many of them, so…so annoying, and the guys…as annoying as those frilly girly girls…I am officially known as a woman hater…they just don't know me, they don't know how it feels to be…away from the one person I care for…stupid elders, not allowing me to even call her…I only hear news concerning her from Hiiragizawa Eriol since he is now officially dating her best friend, Daidouji Tomoyo, last time he called…did I say last time…I mean he called once and only once…that was last week, they said she has been so miserable and they could only count the times she smiled… god, I loved her smile… I mean I really LOVE her smile, I wonder how she's doing. I wonder how it would feel to touch her hair and hug her and then we'll go out, maybe eat for a while then walk around the park and talk about stuff and maybe I could even…

"Oh dear, it's that girl again, right, little bro?" One of Li Syaoran's sisters, Fuutie, interrupted his thoughts.

"Go away!" He snapped.

She grinned devilishly. "I knew it! You're in love!"

"Do I have to spell it out for you? Go away! G-O-A-W-A-Y! Leave me alone!" he furiously shouted at her.

"Hey, girls! We're having a sister-in-law soon!" she called out to her other siblings. Then a "Fantastic!" and "Cool!" was heard.

"Somebody actually liked our brother?" Fanren said in between giggles.

Everyone but Syaoran burst into giggles.

He rolled his eyes. Picking up his handy radio and the teddy bear that was in front of him, he left his sisters who were laughing their hearts out.

"A 'Made in Japan' sister-in-law!" everybody cracked.

He angrily stomped out of his room that his sister trespassed. "I really hate to leave your marvelous company but I need PEACE and QUIET!" he told them sarcastically.

Outside he saw his mother who was apparently eavesdropping on her children's conversation. She smiled at him knowingly.

He felt his face burn up in embarrassment. His sisters ganging up on him is one thing, but his own mother joining the forces of evil? This is too much…

Syaoran marched out of the house. The problem is, there are too many women in the house! They are ruining his wits, destroying his ear drums, trying his patience.

He took a deep breath, enjoying the non-existent peace and quiet, even outside; he can hear his sisters' ramblings, for goodness' sake. At least he got rid of all those bothersome women for the moment. Or did he?

He can still see in his mind a sweet girl with emerald eyes and her hair the shade of rich earth whose smiles brightens up his days.

He sat down on a swing he built not so long ago. Somehow he feels this place will serve as something to represent that never-to-be forgotten day when Yukito rejected her feelings and that girl turned to him for a shoulder to cry on.

"Hey!" he heard a voice from behind say.

"Oh, Meilin. Hey!" He said looking at the girl behind him.

"Can I sit here?" she said pointing at the swing beside him.

"Huh? Sure." He answered; Meilin is a good friend if she's not trying to make him fall for her. She even broke off their engagement the day he returned from Japan. He was stupid to leave Japan in the first place. He left his life in Japan; no one is more stupid then him that's for sure. Then he smirked at the thought.

"Lovesick people are so hopeless." Meilin said with a playful smirk plastered on her face.

"Huh? What? Did you say something?" Syaoran asked, as if he was a clueless child.

"Oh, nothing I was just telling you that we should take…a vacation in Japan and we could also study there for a" but she was interrupted by a loud

"WHAT? A VACATION IN…JAPAN?" coming from Syaoran.

"short while." She finished.

"WE CAN'T DO THAT." Syaoran boomed.

"God, Li Xiao Lang, you're making Japan sound like a place filled with humungous monsters or a country filled with cannibals by the tone of your voice and also because of the fact the you are so afraid of the statement that we are 'going to have a vacation in Japan for a short period of time'." Meilin informed Syaoran.

"Knock it off! You know the reason to why I don't feel like returning to that place!" he said crossly.

"Oh yeah, because Sakura might have forgo" she began but he interrupted her.

"I said, knock it off!"

She stood up in a huff. "Sheesh, you're so grouchy! You're talking likelike a"

"I'm sorry. It's just that I'm"he paused not knowing the right words to say.

"You're afraid of getting hurt, is that it?"

He turned to her, taken aback. "I...I guess I am afraid of getting hurt, afraid that she might have forgotten that promise we made before I left Japan."

"But don't you think she's worth the risk? Why can't you try fighting for your love?" she demanded. "And besides you know she never breaks her promises, she may be naïve at times though, trust her Xiao Lang, she didn't break the promise, okay?."

"Perhaps I'm just another coward in this world." he mumbled under his breath.

"No you're not!" Meilin shouted, and then looked at him in the eye.

And continued… "On second thought, maybe you're right. You are a coward. Isn't it amazing you're not afraid of catching all the Clow Cards or facing Eriol and his minions, when he was still against you, but you can't get your act together to go to Japan to be with the one you love because you are afraid that she might have forgotten a promise and she might have a boyfriend now for all we know, after all she got some pretty face, why wouldn't the guys in her place go after her." she said before leaving Syaoran shocked.

Minutes later, Syaoran covered his head with his hands, puzzled. "Kinomoto Sakura, you're driving me crazy!"

Damn! He loves this girl so much it hurts! He trusts her, that is something sure but he is just thinking of the…other possibilities… maybe she'll think that it is better to move on than to wait for him to come back…His mind is screaming her name and his heart is longing to be with her.

He suddenly remembered their old times: from the first day they met in school, when he called her stupid, when they captured the thunder card; the cave, the Sleeping Beauty play, the elevator, the shrine, the swing, the day he told her he cared for her and that she was someone special to him, the teddy bear and how they made a promise that she would wait until the day he would come back…he remembered every single detail…

"Sakura, Sakura, Sakura..."He didn't realize he was calling her given name out loud already.

Meilin, his sisters and even his mother watched him with smiles on their faces. They looked at each other expressively.

All of a sudden, Syaoran stood up to go in his house… He has a plan.

"I'm going to Japan." he decided with finality.

"And Meilin shall accompany you." His mother stated informing him that she approved his decision, after all as the head of the clan, she needed to make sure that the magical part of the clan stay strong and therefore, finding a way for her son to fall in love with the card mistress to able to produce a strong heir. He hugged his mother, mumbling his thanks. "I'll make sure the elders will agree, and Xiao Lang, by the time you come back, I expect you to bring home my daughter-in-law to be with a ring in a finger on her right hand then we shall make the arrangements to be able to put another ring on another finger and this time, you'll be placing it on the left hand." Yelen told Syaoran before walking away; meanwhile Syaoran blushed at the last comment. (Is the wedding ring placed on the left or right? I think it is placed on the left, so correct me if I'm wrong, okay?)

"Good luck, little brother but I guess you don't need that." Xiefa exclaimed getting an inquiring look from Syaoran. "You see, I really forgot to tell you that Toyoma…or was it Tayomo? I'm sure it was" she said but she was interrupted by the question her little brother asked

"Tomoyo? She called and you didn't tell me? Tomoyo called?"

"Yeah, that's right, it was Tomoyo! And she said something about your little flower, Ying Fa, getting really 'un-genki' and was getting really annoying on their part, they said it was really new to them, and also said something about missing you and not keeping a certain promise and all that. I didn't understand what she was babbling for the next few minutes, she spoke too fast for me to be able to understand her fluent Japanese language." Xiefa finished receiving a really worried look on Syaoran. The rest just rolled their eyes at Xiefa's last comment, they knew that she is not really good when it comes to Japanese.

This gives me a nice opportunity, maybe she'll cheer up a bit if I go visit her, then she will know that I did not break my promise and Tomoyo said that she missed me and all that must mean, she does not have a boyfriend… I must call Tomoyo to let her know I'm going to Japan and maybe ask for her help to surprise Sakura… Ying Fa, my Ying fa. He thought holding the teddy bear close to him.

He walked out of the room with a grin on his face. This of course surprised all of the servants, the ones unaware of what was happening.

At last the inner battle growing inside of him ended… when he decided to return to the one he loves…

I'm sorry if Syaoran doesn't trust Sakura…. Anyway… pls review!

And thanx to all those who reviewed for the previous chapter… I really appreciate it… thank you, thank you, thank you so much…
