Sakura woke up the next morning and stretched. She heard Kero's snores coming from one of her drawers. She smiled and made her way to the bathroom. After brushing her teeth, she walked back into her room to prepare for school that would be starting in an hour.

Homeroom
"Minna-san please take your seats! And we have a new transfer student!" Mr Terada called out to the class. Every student obeyed his orders and waited patiently for him to call the new student in.
"Hai! Come in please!" he called and while the new transfer student walked in, he turned to the board and wrote their name. "Minna, this is Hanari Kitsune."
Some guys had their jaws dropped, others wolf whistle and the girls just thought she was pretty. Sakura grinned when she saw Kitsune walk in. Tomoyo thought that the world was going to end.
"Konichiwa minna! Hanari Kitsune des!!! I hope I can befriend all of you guys!" and sent a wink towards Eriol. Tomoyo just grew with rage and Syaoran just thought I just hope she doesn't come for me because I already have someone in mind…though if she asks me out then I'm certainly going to decline her offer…
Kitsune sighed aww…there aren't many good looking guys here are there? The only ones I see is Eriol-kun and Syaoran-kun. She snapped out of her thoughts when Mr Terada told her where her seat is going to be.
She walked over to her seat which was situated next to Hiro's place. Hiro got a piece of paper and started to scribble something on it and then scrunched it up into a ball and threw it to Kitsune.
Kitsune caught the ball and turned to the front to see if the teacher saw her. Luckily he didn't so she opened the paper and it said:
Ki-chan…now that you are here, lets start the plan this afternoon after school okays? Starting with the brunette girl. You better not tell any of those 4 about this or I'll kill you, got that?
After reading the note, she scribbled something on the back and passed it back to Hiro.
Yeah yeah whatever you say your highness…geez…like why would I want to tell them if it means fun for me? Gosh…you are really stupid…baka.
He turned and glared and the blue haired girl. She playfully poked her tongue at him. Syaoran was watching the pair and grew suspicious. But shrugged the thought off because he knew that curiosity always got the best of him.

After Class
The home bell rung and everyone quickly packed their belongings and ran out the classroom. Sakura was slowly packing her things away. "Sakura-chan you want to come shopping with me?" Sakura stopped her packing and looked up towards her best friend.
She shook her head "No thanks Tomoyo…I'm a little tired today so I might skip, gomen." Tomoyo could tell that she was tired "Oh don't worry about it! Hehehe I'll go with Eriol then. Ja ne!"
Sakura waved her goodbye and went back to her books. Syaoran was watching her from the classroom door near the front and made his way towards her.
She sensed someone walking towards her and look up meeting a lad with pink tint that accompanied his cheeks. The brunette had the feeling that he was going to ask her something. And watched him walk towards her desk. He stopped and took a big breath in. She tilted her head a little bit to her right and stared at him.
"Um…Sakura-san…would you go out with me?" he mumbled.
At that very moment she thought she was dreaming. Did he just ask me out? she thought and before she could answer. her surroundings started to blur. She shook her head but her sight continued to get blurrier.
And darkness claimed her…
------------------------------------------------------------------x------------------------------------------------------------
When Sakura woke up, she rubbed her eyes and took a look around her surroundings. She remembered clearly that she was last in her classroom…with Syaoran…she lost all her consciousness after…his confession. That's when realisation hit her.
She looked desperately around to see if Syaoran was nearby. But all her eyes fell on was trees, bushes, logs and patches of grass. She couldn't hear anything. Not a sound. She thought it was just all a dream and she would wake up in her bed and Syaoran would be sound asleep in his own bed.
She closed her eyes and told herself…
It's just a dream…
It's just a dream…
It has nothing to do with me…
I'll wake up in my bedroom…
She stopped her thoughts and snapped her eyes open to the sound of rustling leaves coming from a bush to her left. It was quite dark so she couldn't see what was making the rustling…she was sure it wasn't the wind because there isn't any wind blowing, not even the slightest of breeze was felt.
A dark figure made its way towards her. Her heart was beating so fast. The figure was shaped a boy around her age. She thought it was Syaoran. "Syao-" but before she finished, someone covered her mouth and nose with a cloth. That's when she fell unconscious for the second time.
---------------------------------------------------------------x---------------------------------------------------------------
Shock. That was the only emotion that was shown all over his face. One moment he was in his classroom with Sakura. The next moment she fainted and he was going to run and catch her but then he was teleported back to his bedroom.
He had a bad feeling about this. He remembered that Sakura had fainted but as soon as she hit the ground…
She disappeared…
Out of his sight…
Right in front of him…
He feared that something bad was going to happen especially to Sakura.
The girl he cared for the most…
The girl he wants to spend the rest of his life with…
The very girl he loves…
-----------------------------------------------------------------x-------------------------------------------------------------
Syaoran was running around Tomoeda searching for his cherry blossom. Before he headed out of his apartment, he grabbed his sword and bolted out of the door. Wei knew something was off and wished his master the best.
He ran recklessly around, searching desperately for Sakura. He knew she was somewhere around the town if not then she wasn't far from Tomoeda. He did not inform Tomoyo about the incident though he did call Eriol and told him about the disappearance of the brunette.
Eriol advised him to search the places where she would usually hang out around. He did what he was told. Unfortunately, he couldn't find her anywhere. His last destination was Penguin Park, he looked around desperately…no sign of her here.
He sat down on a penguin and placed his head in his hands.
Where could you be Sakura?
You are making me worried…
He felt a familiar aura…he knew this aura very well…then he could make out very well whose aura is was…Sakura! He followed her aura and ended up in the forest just outside Tomoeda. Syaoran wandered what she was doing in a place like this?
Or maybe it was that teleportation that had her here in the first place. He couldn't care less about how she got here, just as long as she is safe…in his arms…protected from harm. He continued to follow her aura, after running for 20 minutes he came to a clearing.
He stood in the middle and looked around him for any sight of Sakura. He felt her aura strongest in the clearing and felt it coming from his right. When he turned…there lying against a tree unconscious…was his cherry blossom. He was going to run towards her when another aura clashed with her own. Syaoran didn't like the new feeling at all…he knew something was going to happen.
When he turned…his eyes met the most coldest grey orbs he has ever seen. "Just to let you know that your dear girl is safe. She is just having a nap that's all…" he said. The mysterious boy stepped out into the moonlight. Syaoran could see his features. Lean and tall body, around Syaoran's height and he had navy blue hair with grey eyes. At his side he carried a sword much like Syaoran except it was red and had gold linings.
Syaoran glared at his rival "What is your name?" The grey eyed boy just smirked " Itsuno Ryou, and yours?" Syaoran stood there and continued to glare at Ryou "Li Syaoran…why did you kidnap Sakura and take her to a place outside her hometown?"
Ryou knew that Syaoran wants to know why his girl was taken to a place quite far from her home and why she was taken by another guy. Well he knew from first impressions that Syaoran was protective when it came to the girl he holds the dearest. "I took her here simply as bait so I could lure you out here and test you." Ryou responded calmly.
Syaoran had no idea what he was talking about nor did he know what he was worthy of. "Test me on what?" Ryou smirked once again " To test you if you are worthy enough to have Kinomoto Sakura as your girlfriend." Syaoran knew straight away after hearing that response that this wasn't just a test but a challenge. "If you lose I'll keep her to myself, if you win you will be able to have her as your own and I will back away." Ryou declared.
Ryou smiled evilly "Now let the fight BEGIN!"

Yeahh I know it was a little random with the aura bit but I wanted to add something in the chapter so I just popped it in
This chapter is short because I wanted to leave a cliffy and like I would have made it longer if it wasn't for my desire of leaving a cliff hanger…
Well I will update as soon as I plan on how to end this story.
