Chapter One: Hong Kong

Two Days later.

Sakura looked out side the small window on the plane, they had taken off a few hours ago and she was very excited, Mei Lin sat next to her and Touya sat behind them, they were in first class and it was very luxurious. Sakura sighed, and closed her eyes, drifting off to sleep.

There is a castle on a cloud

I like to go there in my sleep

Aren't any floors for me to sweep

Not in my castle on a cloud

Sakura listened intently, there just softly, far away was a child singing, she could hear all the words and wondered who it was. She looked around her, mist drifted along the white stone floors; the place she was in was so quiet, and so white it hurt her eyes. Sakura started to walk down the corridor her footsteps echoing all down the hallway, doors lined the corridor and they were all white washed. Marble pillars stood erect with intricate patterns all over them, of children, all of them looked sad, `its so quiet, where am I?'

There is a room that's full of toys,

There are a hundred boys and girls

Nobody shouts or talks too loud

Not in my castle on a cloud

Opening up one door it was empty of all life but inside were white toys, and there was a lot of them, it was too neat, too clean, and Sakura realised that no child had ever played with them, `what is this place?' Following the voice Sakura went down another corridor.

There is a lady all in white,

Holds me and sings a lullaby

She's nice to see and she's soft to touch

She says Cosette I love you very much

Sakura stoped outside two doors, they were both made of glass with softly written words on them.

`Cosette of the Cloud' Sakura shivered slightly and pushed the doors open. There sitting in a chair of white carved bone was a little girl with blonde hair, ice blue eyes looked unseeingly over at the door and beside her stood two men that wore all white just like the little girl.

I know a place where no ones lost

I know a place where no one cries

Crying at all is not allowed

Not in my castle on a cloud

Not in my castle on a cloud

Sakura stopped walking in front of the girl as she stopped singing, her eyes seemed to focus and she looked directly into Sakura's emerald eyes, and she smiled warmly.

"Sakura, the cherry blossom" Her voice was soft and light and held a small innocence. Sakura nodded her head not knowing what was going on. "You came when I called." She said mildly surprised, she continued before Sakura could speak. " I have called to you because you are the one, the bringer of light, of hope and of love, you are the only one that can save him, and he is very important for the future of us all." Sakura looked at her quizzically and was about to ask who when a white light surrounded her and she sat bolt upright in her chair on the plane.

"Ladies and Gentlemen we will be arriving in Hong Kong shortly please fasten your seatbelts and wait until the plane has come to a complete stop before you unbuckle your belts thankyou." The Capitan said through the speakers. Sakura rubbed the sleep out of her eyes and shook her head slightly `what a strange dream' she thought as she sat back and waited for the pane to land.

~*~*~*~*~

Xiou Lang stood irate in the air port, most of the Li clan had come to see Mei Lin come back from Japan, `there are way too many people in the Li clan' he thought shaking his head `and why the hell did we ALL have to come? I mean its not like Mei Lin was away for that long, three years is nothing, gosh this is going to be the end of me, the Li clan has to do everything together and the reporters are having a field day snapping away with their cameras and the video cameras zooming into our faces, I am going to crack if that damn plane doesn't land soon' Xiou Lang clenched his teeth and flexed his hands he was so irritated that he felt ready to kill.

The plane arrived and the whole Li clan watched as people started to get off `she'll be right at the end to make a big appearance' Xiou Lang scoffed as people came through the doors one after the other.

"Where is she?" Fan Ren asked as she stood up on her tiptoes to get a better look.

"There, I can see her, look here she comes" Yu Tai shouted and she frantically waved over towards the bobbing black head of Mei Lin. Xiou Lang growled and crossed his arms over his chest and waited.

Mei Lin rushed through the doors and jumped into the awaiting arms of the Li clan, all the women went forwards leaving most of the male population of the Li clan behind. Just as Xiou Lang was actually thinking Mei Lin had forgotten him she launched herself at him and gripped him in a bear hug.

"I've missed you favourite cousin" She squealed as she released him and went to the others to give them all hugs and that was when he saw her, the goddess with green eyes. ` She's so beautiful' Xiou Lang watched as her and an older man walked through the doors and dropped their hand luggage down on the ground and look around worriedly. Mei Lin turned around and ran over and pulled the girl closer to the women.

"This is Sakura Kinomoto and that is her brother over there, Touya Kinomoto. Sakura this is the Li Clan" Mei Lin introduced. Xiou Lang watched as there was silence for three seconds before the inevitable happened, his four sisters lunged at her and were screaming.

"Cute"

"Pretty"

"Kawaii" `isn't that a Japanese word?' Xiou Lang thought as he watched the poor girl try to get away from his sisters. Mei Lin grinned and pulled her away from them.

`Look at how stupid they all look fawning all over that girl and they even pulled her brother in as well.' Xiou Lang just huffed and turned away from the sight. The reporters were still going postal at the airport and Xiou Lang sighed. Clearing his throat he nodded in the direction of the reporters to his mother and she nodded her head.

"Come along girls, you can do this at home" Yelen Li said as she turned on her heal and walked from the airport, the Li clan in tow.

Seven limousines were waiting outside the airport for the forty odd members of the Li clan. Mei Lin, Sakura, Touya and Yelen's family all went into one of the limousines as the others went into their respectful cars.

Sakura watched wide eyes as they went through the city of Hong Kong; they were just coming out of the city and had turned on the road when Yelen asked her something.

"Sakura, I was wondering if you knew any magic?" She asked, Yelen had been wondering that ever since she had seen the girl, she had a strong light pink aura with a few swirls of silver. Sakura looked at Yelen for a moment before she nodded.

"I don't know much but I do know a few spells." Xiou Lang snorted at that comment but said nothing, Yelen glared at her son before smiling at Sakura.

"Mei Lin tells me you can fight, and that you actually beat her in a sparing match, that is a great accomplishment, there are so few women fighters." Mei Lin grinned at Sakura and Xiou Lang glared at her

"I don't think its that hard to beat Mei Lin, actually she is pretty easy, but I wouldn't be surprised if she let you win though." Sakura's face went red and quick as lightning she had pulled Xiou Lang close to her face, her fist clutching the front of his shirt.

"We'll just see shall we?" she asked through gritted teeth. Xiou Lang wasn't fazed one bit.

"We shall" and he smirked as Sakura let him go, Touya was growling next to his sister and as she let Xiou Lang go they were both in a heated discussion. Mei Lin was smiling like there was no tomorrow and Xiou Lang's sisters were chattering excitedly.

~*~*~*~*~

At the Li Mansion

Sakura had changed into her sparing clothes, some black loose pants that just came past her knees and a tight black tank top, she had on a black tie around her head with a silver dragon on it, Mei Lin had given it to her for her birthday last year to keep her short hair out of her face. Sakura stood waiting in the training room for Xiou Lang to come so she could teach him a lesson in not underestimating a person.

Xiou Lang came down shortly; he wore green pants like Sakura's and a white wife beater. He also wore a green tie around his head with a red dragon on it. `This should be fun, ill just toy with her before I pin her down.

Mei Lin walked in between the two.

"The rules are, weapons can be used, no magic unless your getting your weapon, hand to hand combat, if you get your opponent down then you win, and no dirty fighting." Mei Lin grinned as Sakura closed her eyes, both hands out in front of her. With a flare of magic two Shoju materialised in Sakura's hands and she flipped them open with a series of twists as she crouched in a fighting stance. Xiou Lang smirked `fans? Ha how does she suppose she's going to beat me with them? Is she going to fan me away?' Xiou Lang went into a fighting stance and chanted the incantation for his sword that materialised in his hand.

Sakura grinned, `a sword ehh? Just like Mei Lin did when she first went against me, and his fighting stance is like hers too, and she told me they had learnt together so I have the advantage, I know his moves, well most of them so there wont be too many surprises for me.' Sakura changed her balance and then sprang into the air, Shoju flicking outwards as she stepped lightly before doing a no handed cartwheel to land behind Xiou Lang, Shoju met sword with a clang, sparks flew off the edge of both weapons as they stood close to each other, not moving. Sakura grinned and Xiou Lang scowled. Flipping away from Xiou Lang Sakura stood back and watched as he went into another fighting stance. Sakura stood there for a second. `I think ill change weapons.' Sakura half closed her eyes as her Shoju vanished and in their place was a sword. She ginned again. `Time for me to put this into use' She also went into a fighting stance and Xiou Lang charged at her, both swords flying at the other with inhuman speed, flashes of metal here and there was the two parried and struck at the other. Sakura dropped to the ground and did a hard sweeping kick that Xiou Lang flipped over and landed behind her, Sakura flung her sword in the air and hand sprung away from Xiou Lang kicking him in the jaw in the process.

Xiou Lang cursed and lunged at Sakura, she caught her sword and blocked his sword as it arched towards her head. He pushed down gaining leverage with his strength. Sakura struggled to keep his sword away from her. She looked into his eyes as the amber flashed with anger. `He doesn't want to lose, well duh, who does, but he needs to win.' Sakura sighed mentally as her arms cried out in protest. `But I can't he insulted Mei Lin and myself. Sakura changed her stance again giving Xiou Lang more leverage then quickly stopped fighting against his sword and moved out of the way before rolling behind him and kicking him behind his knees making him lose balance and roll on the ground to stop from falling.

Touya grinned as Mei Lin shouted her approval out to Sakura.

"I taught her that" Mei Lin Crowed as Xiou Lang looked up in time to block Sakura's attack. Mei Lin looked over at Yelen and smiled and winked. `Knew Sakura could kick his butt any day, and he needed it, gosh how stuck up do you want to get?' Mei Lin winced as Sakura used her effective fan hand and flicked it over Xiou Lang's head; both had discarded their swords and were going at it hand to hand. Xiou Lang got past Sakura's defences and punched her soundly in the stomach. Sakura winced in pain but ducked under his next attack. Growling viciously Sakura used her most dangerous attack on Xiou Lang, she fan hand him crouched low and swiped his stomach and then twisted her feet to end with a palm punch to the centre of the stomach sending Xiou Lang head over heals to the ground and that was where he stayed puffing and panting, his face red from exertion.

Mei Lin ran over to congratulate Sakura as Touya went over to help Xiou Lang get up.

"I don't need you help!" Xiou Lang grated out death glaring at Touya who death glared right back.

"Stuck up little sh-"

"TOUYA!" Sakura yelled at him before he could curse, he had a bad habit of doing that and it was something she tried to get rid of. Touya shut up immediately and pulled Xiou Lang to his feet. Mei Lin ran over to Xiou Lang and slapped him on the back.

"Excellent stuff cousin, you held up way better then me, she actually changed weapons for you, usually she just takes out people with her Shoju, but for her to actually use her sword well that's saying something." Mei Lin rambled on for a while longer before Sakura came up and bowed to Xiou Lang who bowed stiffly back.

"You used a technique I have never seen before, what was it?" Sakura asked politely.

"It some Manji Ninja, I have just started to learn it. You also used a style I have never seen before," Sakura smiled

"My mum taught me it before…" Sakura trailed off for a moment before coming back shaking her head slightly "it's called Hakke Sho and Hakke Ken." Xiou Lang nodded his head.

"How about I teach you what I know and you teach me what you know?" Xiou Lang stated as Sakura beamed at him `gosh I love her smile, wait where the hell did that come from? I keep thinking these things, maybe I'm sick?' Xiou Lang blinked before turning on his heal to leave.

"School starts in a week, that is when we will start." He said not turning around.

~*~*~*~*~*~

Sakura didn't see much of Xiou Lang during the week before school; she and Touya had stayed at the mansion until school started since they were going to be moved to the school grounds to live. Sakura and Mei Lin had spent most of their time trying to get Touya more up to scratch with his training, he'd been slack for a couple of months now and had to get back in shape. Both of them would have an advantage since they both knew how to fight, they would be going to third year to when they reached school, brought up two years because of their immense skills. The only thing they were lacking in was their skills with magic. Sakura could do a few wind and water spells, even making a fire and making the earth shake slightly but that was it. Touya could only use telepathy. It didn't really matter though because some people only had slight magic and they only learnt a little bit of it, but there were others that had immense power and they were dangerous to be around if they got angry enough.

The school uniform was set in different colours, it depended on what year you were in. First years wore white three quarter loose pants and a white singlet, second years wore yellow, third years wore red, fourth years wore green, fifth years wore blue and last was sixth years that wore black. Xiou Lang wore black since he had gone through all the training and was now a teacher for the third and fourth years. Sakura smiled slightly, `lessons with Xiou Lang, that's going to be interesting.'

Sakura had to constantly try and keep away from Xiou Lang's sisters, hey were scary and tried to dress her up, sighing Sakura locked her door, they always came in and cornered her, always. There was a soft knock on the door.

"Who is it?" Sakura called out uncertainly.

"It's Mei Lin, open the door." Mei Lin ordered. Sakura grinned, Mei Lin was so funny. Opening the door Sakura stepped aside as Mei Lin and another girl walked in. The girl was a few inches taller with long violet hair and amethyst eyes that sparkled.

"Sakura this is Tomoyo Daidouji, she goes to school to, she's also a third year, so I thought it would be good to meet another female in the same year as you, plus she has only just moved to the school, we have one in Australia for all the islands down there so that they don't have to go so far, I think we should have one in America as well but I'm not the one that's in charge. Well come on Sakura let's go out so we can get to know each other better." Mei Lin said grabbing Sakura and Tomoyo's arms, dragging them out of the li mansion.

"Mei Lin is always this crazy so don't worry" Sakura whispered to Tomoyo who giggled and Mei Lin glared.

"I am not crazy"

"Yes you are"

"Am not!" Sakura rolled her eyes and snickered as Tomoyo tried to hold in her laughter. Mei Lin growled and pouted crossing her arms. Sakura draped an arm around Mei Lin

"Alright your not crazy…ever since you went to that institution" Sakura said matter of factly. Mei Lin let out an indignant noise as she narrowed her eyes.

"Come on you two, I want to show you something." Tomoyo said interrupting Sakura's giggles and Mei Lin's glare. Both girls followed the smiling Tomoyo to a large sized house, not as big as the Li Mansion but almost. Tomoyo went straight inside and opened a door.

"This is my room." She said going straight over to her bed and motioning them to follow. On her bed were three uniforms, all red and on them were a large embroidered dragon that was done in red so that it didn't stand out too much, they looked absolutely gorgeous, and all had a slight difference. On one was a similar dragon but with fire coming out of its mouth on the back of the singlet. On another was a Sakura blossom and on the last was twin katana's crossing over the other. Tomoyo handed one to Mei Lin (the dragon one) and the other to Sakura (I wonder which one that was) and Tomoyo kept the other one.

"When I found out both your names and a little about you I did that," she said pointing to the uniforms. Sakura hugged Tomoyo tightly saying thankyou over and over again while Mei Lin just grinned looking over the uniforms carefully.

"So tomorrow we start school ehh?" Mei Lin said raising her eyebrow. Both girls nodded grinning.

"Were going to knock them dead" Tomoyo said grinning evilly while Sakura looked at both girls confused, then Tomoyo burst into a fit of giggles that set off the other girls (of course Sakura didn't know why they were laughing but she just went along with them).
