"InnoCent From Amber"

Chapter 4- "The Chosen Flower"

By Rushi Star

In the Li Mansion

"Good morning, my dearest family," said Helene as she made her appearance to the dinning room, where her sister Yelen and her two sons were eat breakfast quietly. They were all surprised to see her come down and to greet them, but the shocking part was that she seemed more happier than ever. She took her rightful seat at the end of the table as servant started serving her breakfast.

"Good morning, Aunt Helene," said both Xio and Syaoran as they quickly smiled at her then continued with their breakfast.

"Good morning, sister," said Yelen that continued eating, trying to ignore her sister's presence.

"Today I would like to inform you all, that we will be having a special guest for dinner, so I expect for everyone to treat her with respect, is that understood?" asked Helene looked at their shocked faces, and was dying of laugher inside, but she looked at them with her usual cold expression as they slowly nodded their heads.

"Good, Tomoyo I expect for you to have everything ready for dinner tonight. I know this is going to take most of your day so, you have my permission to have every servant in the mansion help you prepare, if you need their help," said Helene as a young girl with long wavy black hair and beautiful amethyst eyes as she stood quietly as she smiled at her beloved mistress.

"Yes, Mistress," said Tomoyo as she nodded her head and continued to wait for everyone to finish their breakfast so, she could get busy with her daily duties and chores of the mansion. Tomoyo had lived in the mansion all her life, basically because her parents left her in the foot steps of the door when, she was just born. Tomoyo never talked about her past, but she establish a warm bond with Helene. Helene always protected Tomoyo, from her sister Yelen's painful humiliations and other humiliations that Tomoyo received from being a bastard child in the world.

"My we have the honor of knowing, who this very important person is?" asked Yelen and everyone could her bitter voice as she looked at Helene that smiled at her.

"Dear sister, you most of all will be the first to know," said Helene as she continued eating her breakfast. He was happy for she hadn't felt this joy for getting back at Yelen for all things and humiliations she had cased. Yelen was boiling inside from anger, who could she do this to her, but she was well used to it, no doubt something was being planned to make Helene look and feel very happy.

"Well, then don't worry we will treat this person with special care, wouldn't we?" said Yelen as she smirked while referring to Xio and Syaoran that only nodded their heads but then they noticed their mother's demanding glance.

"Yes, Mother," said both Xio and Syaoran both really didn't like when they went after each other thoughts.

"If I was that special person, I would never consider coming back, after what I have planned out for tonight" thought Yelen as she smiled and got up and walked up to her room.

Xio and Syaoran later that day…

"Do you have any idea on who this special guest could be?" asked Xio that was getting ready to jump into the crystal clear pool as Syaoran was laying back taking in a relaxing tan.

"No clue, and really don't care its properly another rich brat," said Syaoran as he felt the sun's warm rays make contact with his bare chest.

"She did mention it was a girl, it could be very interesting…," said Xio before jumped into the pool making a big splash, making Syaoran get up from his relaxing position and glare at Xio's figure as he started swimming around the pool.

"If it a girl, no doubt that Mother will make her visit a living hell," said Syaoran as he walk to the fresh green grass and then lean on the cool trunk of a tree, while feeling the war breeze, slowly he closed his eyes and one single name escaped his lips…

"Ming…"

Last night he spent all his time making out with Meilin, that enjoyed every minute of it. He knew perfectly that he was using Meilin, because he saw Ming when she kissed him, even if her kisses didn't taste at all like Ming. Not far away, Xio was having a blast dancing with some girls, that always go crazy over him. But, that was last night and since then Meilin had already called him about three times after breakfast wanting to get together to go out to dinner or something, but he just lied and told her that he need time alone to think about their possibility of having a relationship with each other, she took it very calmly and told him to call her when he was ready.

"Ming, I don't ever want to forget you or our love for it runs to deep, help find peace," whispered Syaoran as a single tear rolled down his cheek.

"Help me find, happiness without you,"

Sakura…

"May I speak to Mrs. Helene, I believe she is your mistress" said Sakura as she was meet by a beautiful girl that looked to be around her age, as she smiled sweetly at Sakura that looked very nervous.

"Ooh yes, she is awaiting for presence please follow me," said Tomoyo as she lead Sakura to Helene's room. Tomoyo was inform about Sakura's visit when, Helene talked to her in private after Yelen, Xio and Syaoran got up from breakfast. Tomoyo was very surprise to be hear that her mistress was going to be visited by a poor young girl, around her age. At first, Tomoyo thought she must be money hungry but after seeing Sakura form, she thought that she was the cutest girl ever, for her gorgeous emerald eyes. But she always seemed to always hide them by looking away of down and everyone could tell that she felt nervous.

"I wish to become a friend to her," thought Tomoyo as she stop inform of Helene's door and knocked on it.

"Come in," came a response.

Tomoyo opened the door for Sakura, that whispered a "Thankyou". The room was huge and very beautiful but very dark, hardly any light could come in. Helene was seating in her desk that was covered with papers that all seemed important. She had a very serious expression but she smiled at them both. Sakura felt unsure of what to do, so she stood besides Tomoyo. Tomoyo smiled inside at Sakura uneasiness, and couldn't wait to talk to her and become friends.

"Come here Sakura, and please take a seat, same goes to you Tomoyo," said Helene as she pointed at the two empty seat in front of her desk. They did as they were told and now, there was and nerve braking silence.

"What is your decision, child?" asked Helene as she now looked at Sakura in the eyes.

"I have been thinking about it endlessly but, I have made up my mind for the benefit for my family," said Sakura as she paused and took a long breath.

"And I would like to tell you that I accept you offer," said Sakura as she looked at Helene that took in her Sakura's words and then smiled at her.

"Sakura, I am glad that you choose to accept my offer. Now, I have to explain to you important information that you have the right to now, after you sign this paper that states that you wish to be adopted by me and become my daughter and heir to my fortune that will belong to only you," said Helene as with each words make Sakura happy, because she couldn't believe it.

"Why not your family? Don't you love them?" asked Sakura not wanting to take what rightfully belong to her family.

"It about them that I wish to talk to you about, you see my twin sister Yelen lives here with both her two sons. Yelen is the one you will need to be careful around for she will stop at nothing to have my fortune and her two sons are two naïve to noticed their mother's hunger for money because they always obey and try to please their mother," said Helene as she took a long breath and look at Sakura that was in shock and Tomoyo that nodded her head in agreement.

"But as long as I am still here, they will not dare touch you or humiliate you, you hear me, Sakura they wouldn't dare even to look your way," said Helene as she continued.

"Wait, what happens when your not here?" asked Sakura as she looked at Helene in worry.

"There will be a final testament, that will give instruction for you to follow, nobody can brake it or go against it," said Helene.

Sakura couldn't believe all the things that Helene was telling her and the fact that she got herself into this. The part that worried her the most was their reaction to her when they find out that she was they heir to the Helen's fortune just because she want to make them suffer and she was her instrument. But other side of her was telling her that things would be much better, and that she wouldn't have to worry about money anymore.

"Helene, did you forget that I am poor and don't even know how to walk right, dress, eat or speak like your world," said Sakura in the saddest tone that pierced a hole in Helene's cold heart and for once in her life Helene felt the desire to protect her soon to be daughter.

"I have thought of that and that is why Tomoyo is here she will be teaching you private lesson twice a week but here's the important thing is that tonight we will be having a special dinner in you honor, Sakura," said Helene.

"HOE!!!! A dinner for me with your family, wait can I think about this?" asked Sakura that got up from her seat and was going ballistic.

"Now, Sakura not daughter of mine will be ashamed of making an appearance especially to my family. Tomoyo will help you pick out a dress and everything that you will need for tonight but I must tell you this, both of you better get busy because you only have six hours," said Helene making both Sakura and Tomoyo look at each other in worry but with hidden excitement.

Somewhere else in the Li Mansion

Soft music could be hear as in the shadows, was none other than Syaoran Li playing his guitar. He was playing a very sad melody as he sang along with the guitar. The guitar was being held and used to create the emotions that were stirring inside his soul. With each tone that he played he played for Ming, each word her sang he sand for Ming all he did was for Ming.

"Ming, come back to me," said Syaoran.

Flashback

"Ooh, Syaoran play another song for me," said a very happy Ming as she hugged Syaoran from behind as he held to his side the guitar that he just finished playing and slowly turn around and faced Ming's face, while giving her a wonderful smile that would make any girl melt.

"I will always play for you," whispered Syaoran as he got closer to her and kissed her passionately.

End of flashback

"I have no need to play anymore," said Syaoran in a bitter cold voice as he all of a sudden threw the guitar to wall and then picked it up and used it to brake things around his room, adding to the mess that was still there.

"Never!!….EVER….GOING TO PLAY!!! THIS GUITAR AGAIN!!"

Syaoran after releasing his furry he stopped and took long breaths and looked at the remaining pieces of the guitar, for sure he would never play it again.

"I will never fall in love again, never play a guitar again and never forget you, Ming," whispered Syaoran that instead of tears falling a cold appearance was shown with no emotions what so ever.
