Chapter one: Coffee and Meetings
~8 years ago, April 1st, Sakura's birthday~
"So… she left, Dad? Touya… It's not true, right? Tell me that it isn't true that my mother, out of all people, left us for some other man! Touya…!" Screamed 10 year old Sakura Kinomoto while pulling her brother's arm and crying. Touya and their father kept silent with painful expressions and all Touya could do was to hug his sister close to him as Sakura continue sobbing. Sakura clutched her chest as she cried because the truth about her own mother leaving her hurt her so bad. She loved her mother the most and believed that she was the most wonderful person in the world. She just couldn't believe this would ever happen to her like how television dramas depicted it. She didn't know it would be this painful. The both of them were just having dinner last night to celebrate another one of Sakura's perfect grades in school, and yet, she's gone now like she was never here, along with all her belongings as well.
Suddenly, the sobbing from Sakura softened and Touya felt that Sakura was becoming heavier on his arms. "SAKURA! OI SAKURA!" shouted Touya as he realized his dear sister had fainted out of shock.
~End of flashback~
Tomoyo Daidouji, Sakura's best friend since elementary school, tried to shake Sakura up from her deep slumber because she fell asleep during math class again. "Sakura, time to pack up and go home, class is over!" When Sakura woke up, she realized it was already time for school to be dismissed, so she rubbed her eyes and started packing up all her books and stationary into her bag. However, Tomoyo still noticed that Sakura's eyes were a bit more wetter than usual and immediately knew what kind of dreams she had just a moment ago. But she just ignored it helped Sakura pack her stuff so they could go home together, because she knew it would not make Sakura feel any better if she mentioned anything about what happened 8 years ago. She knew fairly well Sakura hated talking about that issue, so she just smiled at Sakura instead.
Sakura Kinomoto is a girl who's extremely smart. She could achieve any grades in any area as long as she wanted. She was very pretty as well, with a sexy figure and innocent face that everybody yearned for. Guys used to follow her around, trying to strike up a simple conversation with who they refer to as the "Flawless fairy". Her most attractive feature would be her auburn coloured hair and her large clear emerald eyes that would amaze anyone with one gaze. Another notable information about her is that not only is she intelligent and gorgeous, she is also filthy rich. Her family owns a whole chain of high-end hotels and restaurants all over the world, and their family business, the Kinomoto Group, is owned by Sakura's father and brother, Fujitaka and Touya Kinomoto. The both of them are known for their capabilities as they have built at least a hotel that is very popular in almost every country.
Tomoyo Daidouji is Sakura's best friend since young, and she is also Sakura's cousin from the mother's side. She's as perfect as Sakura, just that she has amethyst eyes and long wavy hair of the same colour. Her family is very famous as well, as her mother, Sonomi Daidouji, owns the Daidouji Fashions, which designs for many famous celebrities from all parts of the world. Tomoyo helps her mother manage the company by designing clothes for teenage girls when she has time and uses Sakura as her personal model sometimes to make adjustments to her work. She likes to design dressed and outfits for Sakura during special occasions such as dinner functions that she has to attend on behalf of the company, and likes to use her camcorder to film down all the adorable moments Sakura has even though she seldom does that nowadays.
But ever since Sakura's mother had an affair 8 years ago and left the Kinomotos, she changed. She was no longer the cheerful girl she was in the past and she talked coldly to everyone around her except for her best friends Tomoyo, Meiling, Rika, Naoko, Chiharu, Takashi and her own family members. She started wearing thick framed specs to hide her face and wore a shoulder length wig of the same colour as her hair to hide her long hair. She stopped wearing the pretty clothes Tomoyo designed specially for her and dressed herself sloppily as if she was from a really poor family. She stopped getting perfect grades in school, not because she could not, but because she no longer as the motivation to continue being perfect anymore. She was sick of people sucking up to her for her looks and her wealth, so she decided to change how she looked and also her surname from Kinomoto to Makino, so no one from school knows that she is a Kinomoto. Tomoyo drives her to school, so no one really knows where she lives.
Their friends were just as rich as they are, with Rika's family that produced toys all over the world, and Naoko's family that runs a global corporation that makes electrical gadgets such as mp3, cameras and computers. Chiharu's family owns a company that makes cosmetic products that are very popular in Asia. Takashi is the son of the president of a printing company, and they are in charge of printing the country's newspaper and magazines. Meiling's family are relatives with the Li's, and they own businesses in all areas ranging from finance to food production. Chiharu is engaged with Takashi, by the way.
However, today was different from all the other days. Normally, Tomoyo and Sakura would go straight home to the Kinomoto mansion and do their home work together and spend some time chatting. But today, Sakura had something on tonight, and she needed Tomoyo to help her as well. She needs to attend a dinner function on behalf of her brother and father again organized by the Li Corporation, Meiling's close relative's company, and she needs Tomoyo to help dress her up for the occasion. The Kinomoto Group and Daidouji Fashions were invited because they had been close business partners and they had a lot of business deals with the Li Corp. News had it that they were going to announce the return to Japan of the son of the president, Yelan Li, as he had always been studying in China ever since he was a child.
Tomoyo dragged Sakura along the hallways of the school to the entrance of the school so that they could hurry back to the mansion to prepare, but as they were running, Sakura bumped into guy and dropped her bag on the floor. Both the guy and Sakura fell on the floor with a loud thud and Sakura's specs fell on the floor. As the guy was holding a cup of coffee, the coffee spilled on Sakura as they bumped into each other and there was a huge stain her Sakura's white uniform blouse. The guy stepped on Sakura's specs as he tried to get up, and Sakura, seeing that, stood up immediately and put her hand on the guy's shoulder and turned him around.
"Apologize, asshole." Sakura said with a pissed off expression on her face. She was never in a good mood after she woke up, especially after she had a dream about her mother, so this person just made her day worse than it already is.
"Why should I? You knocked into me while you ran. I even lost my coffee because of you, you should apologize to me, not the other way round." Scoffed the guy and turned around to continue walking.
"You…..! You broke my glasses you rude idiot! Hey!" Screamed Sakura and tried to chase the person as he walked away like nothing has ever happened, but Tomoyo stopped her before she could run after him and said, "Sakura, we're running late for the function! We can get him another time, but not now, alright? Tonight is important for both of us!" And hence Sakura had no choice but to turned around, pissed off, and rushed back home to dress up along with Tomoyo. She did make a mental note that she'd get back at that person someday when she sees him again.
"I'll get my revenge, arrogant guy with brown chestnut messy hair…! I guess it's a good thing you have good recognizable amber eyes!" seethed Sakura once she got comfortable inside Tomoyo's Ferrari.
"Apologize? Yeah right, stupid emerald eyed girl." Syaoran thought as he continued walking to the principal's office to hand in the enrolment papers to the school.
Author's note:
How was it? This is my first fic, so I'm not really sure how it turned out LOL. Well, this chapter is kinda long winded because well, I had to introduce Sakura's background and stuff… but I guess I made it obvious enough to show that the guy who knocked into Sakura is Syaoran, right? XD It's also kinda short, I know, but I'll make sure the next chapter would be longer and not so long winded (:
If you all have any questions, y'all can just pm me or give me some reviews and I'll answer them asap.
PLEASE REVIEW! I want to know how I did for my first time hees! ^^
Peace out~~~~~~ V^^V
