Well, now to hear more about Syaoran's arrival�
Or in other words, the next chapter�
Sung From The Heart
Chapter 11: Fate, Mysteries and Identities
"Now I'll put you all with partners," said the sensei looking around.
"Tomoyo and Eriol�"
"Rika and Tom�"
"Chiharu and Takashi�"
He continued on until Sakura heard her name.
"Sakura and Syaoran�"
Turning around to the boy behind her, she smiled.
"So I guess we're partners," she said, trying to be nice.
"Yeah�" he replied, monotone.
Sakura turned her head back towards to sensei.
"Okay, your assignment is about famous couples. Partners, come up here a draw a slip of paper from the box," said the sensei holding out a box crammed full with pieces of paper.
As the two of them trooped up, drew a piece of paper and read it, Sakura held her hand up.
"Sensei, I think there's been a mistake�"
"What, Sakura?" sensei answered, patiently handing out bits of info on the famous couples.
"Um, well, this has our names on it�" Sakura answered, nervously, thinking this was some sort of joke or mistake.
"Ah� Well, there is a famous couple. Mind you, they weren't married. They were lovers," said sensei, gaining everyone's attention. The reactions to sensei's comments were:
Tomoyo and Eriol grinned instantaneously.
Sakura and Syaoran immediately blushed and looked away from each other.
Whispers spread around like wild fire, resulting in glares at Sakura from girls and fierce looks shot at Syaoran from the guys.
When everyone settled down, Sakura and Syaoran received their bits and pieces on their famous couple, the class was allowed to chatter for a while.
Sakura, smiling as usual, turned around to Syaoran.
"Do you want to work at my place on Saturday? It'll be easier since my father and brother will be out."
Nodding, to her question, he packed his things up as the next period arrived.
~*~
On Saturday�
Sipping some honey milk from a warm cup, Sakura sighed as the warmness spread over her on that unusually cold day.
Looking through her long eyelashes, she took a glance at Syaoran, seeing if he enjoyed his cup of hot chocolate she had made for him.
"Soo� I guess we better get started," Sakura said, grabbing one of the sheets filled with hiragana letters.
"Ah, I ain't really great at hiragana�" said Syaoran, looking a bit nervous.
"Doesn't matter, I'll read it out loud," replied Sakura.
"Okay,"
Sakura Kinomoto and Syaoran Li were one of the best-known famous couples in Japan and China. Even though both families have hushed it up, the few who know have spread it around. Sakura was a famous singer and Syaoran was the Li Clan's to-be leader. The two had met when they were ten and love had blossomed when Li had stayed for a few years in Japan. But the young Kinomoto was left saddened when her love flew back to Hong Kong to become head of the Li Clan. Six years she waited for him. But he never showed up. When Sakura took up singing, she spilled her love into her songs. Destiny lead them to meet each other again as the young leader had won a competition but his girlfriend arrived with him. But sadly to an accident, the singer left and returned back to Tokyo, Japan. The Li Clan leader followed but when he found her she fled even he told her that he still loved her. As he pursed her, he saved her from an oncoming truck but had taken the impact himself. The impact left him too wounded and doctors were unable to save him. The mourning Kinomoto, a few days later was found dead in her room. Suicide. Due to her love for the young Li leader.
"Wow," muttered Sakura, blown away by the story. Wiping tears away from her face, she suddenly remembered the chest.
"Wait here�" She ran upstairs, leaving a puzzled Syaoran.
Coming back with the Sakura chest, she plopped it on the couch and opened it.
Talking softly, "This was my great great aunt's, her name was Sakura, just like mine."
"Do you think that it was her?" asked Sakura, wondering why she was showing this to a boy she hardly knew. She hadn't even showed Touya or her dad.
"In her diary it mentions her number 1. His name is Little Wolf," said Sakura, looking curiously at Syaoran who had turned red.
"What?" she asked, very curious.
"Well� Um, my name means 'Little Wolf'," he said, turning red again as Sakura smiled at him.
"Do you have a relation that was called 'Syaoran'? Or 'Little Wolf'?" asked Sakura patiently.
Just then, a loud banging and crashing sounded on the landing.
"What was that? I thought you said that your brother and father aren't in�" said Syaoran, pushing himself from the couch to investigate.
"Um� It's must have been something fell from the shelf," said Sakura, trying to stop him from investigating.
Suddenly, a yellow flying object appeared in front of the two.
"SAKURA!!! YOU HAD COOKIES AND MILK WITHOUT ME!?!?!?!" said a very angry Kero. A vein was almost popping before he realised that she had company.
"Opps�" he said before he looked at the very angry Sakura and blinking Syaoran.
"Oh well, might as well introduce myself. I am the wonderful, fantastic and indestructible Keroburus, Guardian of the Clow Cards."
Disbelief on his face, Syaoran managed to spit out some words.
"You're the golden eyed guardian beast? I was expecting something more impressive."
As Kero turned red with anger, Syaoran turned to Sakura, bowed and said, " So you're the Card Mistress�" in hidden awe.
"Yeah�" she said, puzzlement on her face.
"I am Clow Reed's descendant," he said with a smirk on his face as the Card Mistress gasped.
Backing away from him, she cautiously asked, " Are you here to take the Cards?".
"I'm here to find�"
On to Chapter 12!!
