Last Chapter
"There's a war in Japan?" asked Syaoran, he didn't like listening to the news.
"Don't worry; Takashi will be at the airport. You'll leave with me to my house and from there you can go to your new apartment, Takashi has a 2 room apartment." Tomoyo said and she hugged Eriol with all her might, then she pulled away slightly and gave him a passionate kiss, "I'll miss you, don't worry I'll see you in 2 months, I'm coming back for a new contract signing for a show my mom wants to put together that will take place in Hong Kong." She gave him another lingering kiss and then her and Syaoran boarded the plane. As they rose into the air, they saw Eriol and Meiling waving and waved back at them.
`I'll miss them so much.' thought Syaoran as he sat in his chair and listened to his Black Sabbath CD.
Chapter 5
"Wow! You're awesome Tomoyo!" exclaimed Syaoran as he gazed around Tokyo.
"I know." Said Tomoyo, flipping back her hair. They had a non-stop flight all the way here and Syaoran was really tired of sitting. "Hey! There's Takashi!" said Tomoyo as she waved franticly at a tall, well built, black spiky haired, brown-eyed guy that looked the same age as Syaoran and Eriol. They noticed a medium height girl, tug at his arm. She had light brown hair, that was in 2 curly pigtails, and dark brown eyes, she was exceptionally beautiful, she had the same build that Tomoyo had, noticed Syaoran.
"HEY CHIHARU! OVER HERE!" yelled Tomoyo at the girl and they came running towards them.
"Tomoyo! Hey girl, how are you! We missed you!" said the girl named Chiharu, she and Tomoyo hugged for a long time. When they pulled away they noticed Syaoran.
"So you're Li Syaoran? Nice to meet you roommate." Said Takashi as he shook Syaoran's hand.
"Same here. Thanks for letting me crash with you." Syaoran could tell that they would become friends; he reminded him a lot of Eriol.
"Hey, no problem, I never turn down a chance to help someone."
"Hi, I'm Chiharu." She said as she shook his hand also.
"Well, shall we get going? I'm starving!" said Tomoyo, she had slept the whole way and woke up too late to ask the flight attendant for some food. They went to the parking lot and over to a silver 2004 Porsche Boxster convertible with beige leather interior.
"Hey! You brought my car! AWWW, I MISSED YOU MOST OF ALL!!" exclaimed Tomoyo as she hugged her car. Every one stood to the side sweat dropping.
"What are we? Chopped liver?!" said Chiharu with a pretend look of hurt on her face. The girls got in and the guys just looked at them,
"What about us?" asked Takashi, he didn't want to walk.
"You 2 take Syaoran's car." Said Tomoyo and she pointed to the car 3 parking spaces away.
"WOW! Sweet ride! What's under the hood?" said Takashi as he lifted the hood of Syaoran's car and they started to talk about it when a cloud of dust was blown in there face.
"Do that at home!" shouted Tomoyo. They got into the green eclipse and sped after the girls.
Tomoyo's House
"How much has that baby cost you?" asked Takashi as they sat in the living room.
"Over 100 grand, but it's worth it because I've never lost a race and I've won more money than I've spent." Said Syaoran as he drank his Pepsi. Tomoyo's house was huge, not as big as Syaoran's but real damn close.
"Hey Tomoyo, can I use your phone?" he needed to call Eriol and Meiling and tell them that he got to Japan safely, he also wanted to know what his family did when they found out he was gone. "Hey man. It's me."
"Hey! How's your new life?"
"Good. I'm at Tomoyo's house and I just meet Takashi, he's cool, and Chiharu is cool too, and very pretty, there are a lot of hot girls in Japan. So how did the family take the news?"
"Lets see… your mother fainted, and your sisters are convinced that you were kidnapped. Meiling has done a great job with the water works that Yelen calmed down and is with her trying to calm her down. She's right here, you want to talk to her?"
"Yeah" he heard the phone being passed around.
"Hey cuz!! I miss you so much!"
"I miss you all too. That's why I called; I didn't want to worry you. Eriol told me about your award winning performance. Thanks for helping my mom."
"They're really worried Syaoran, do you think you did the right thing?"
"Of course. I knew it would hurt them, but this will only work to strengthen me and will make me a better leader for when I come home."
"Well, I hope you do live your life to your liking, you deserve it."
"I got to go Meiling, tell Eriol that I'll talk to him later and bye. Stay out of trouble."
"I'll try… but no promises." He could just see her winking, he chuckled a little.
"OK, love you cuz. Bye." And he hung up. He went back to the living room at sat in his old seat.
They kept talking and getting to know each other until Tomoyo said,
"We should get going. We still need to unpack all your stuff." They got up and into the cars; Syaoran let Takashi drive because he kept begging. They drove for 5 min. and stopped in front of a really nice apartment building.
Takashi's and Syaoran's Apartment
"Home sweet home." Said Takashi, he showed Syaoran his parking space, gave him a key, and they went to the elevator and up to the 10th floor. They went in and Syaoran saw white walls with many frames of cool cars, friends, people Syaoran assumed were his family because they all looked alike, and other things that only a guy would have in his apartment. He also saw 2 black leather couches, a beautiful, mahogany coffee table, a huge, flat screen TV, a DVD player, large loud speakers, a stereo system, and many bookcases that had books and DVDs alike. As they went through the apartment Syaoran saw that the kitchen was not too big but just big enough that there was a dinner table there, the walls were white with a light yellow out line and curtains, which Takashi swore was Chiharu's idea, the stove was black glass and they had many mahogany-colored cupboards and a black refrigerator, the sink was also black and to the right of it was a blender, a toaster, a juice maker, a coffee maker, and a black microwave. It was a nice, bright kitchen but still looked masculine with a hint of feminism. They showed him the bathroom; it had a black marble floor and a shower and separate tub to match with glass doors and silver tabs, the double sink was also black marble and also had silver tabs, an assortment of black, white, and gray towels hung from hooks, including a crimson (dark red) towel robe that had Takashi in silver thread, the toilet was white marble with a black seat and cover, there was a glass tooth brush holder, soap dispenser, cup, q-tips and cotton ball holder set, a crimson tooth brush was in tooth brush holder and a new bar of Zest soap in the soap dispenser. They finally reached Syaoran's room and went inside.
"TADA!!" shouted Tomoyo as they entered and saw that the room looked exactly like the one at his house in Hong Kong.
"Wow! How did you do this?" asked Syaoran, he might not have liked his home but the room was his design.
"I had Meiling take pictures of all of it and I sent them over, told Takashi, and I got people working on it the first day so you could feel at home, I hope you like it." Said Tomoyo.
"I do, thanks Tomoyo, you're the best." and gave her a hug. Tomoyo hugged him black and said, "It's OK. You've had it hard and need to start over."
All his bags were by the bed that had white sheets and a dark green blanket with black pillows, the walls were forest green with black out line, under was a black, soft, shag carpet and a back dresser stood in one corner, a mahogany desk, Takashi's pick, and an exact replica of this comfy chair were in another corner with the reading lamp, paper, pens, CDs, and his lap top sitting in there right full place, a flat screen TV hung from the opposite wall of his bed, a DVD player, and a bookcase with the same books and DVDs that he loved were next to it, 2 black bureaus with light green (not lime) lamps and an alarm clock on the left one, even though there wasn't a balcony, there was a huge window that had light green curtains that matched his lamps, a full length mirror hung from one of the doors to the walk in closet, posters of his favorite cars, bands, and girls were on the walls, frames with pictures, one was of Meiling, Eriol, and him when they were 8 years old, another one was of Meiling hugging him and winking, Eriol kissing Tomoyo on the cheek 3 days before he left, and on the right bearu there was a picture of a 14-year-old Syaoran with his 4 sisters, they were all hugging him, Fiemie was messing up his hair, Xiefia was kissing him on the cheek, Fanfren was giving him bunny ears, and Fuutie was hugging him around the waist and had her cheek against his, Syaoran looked tired as if he didn't want to fight off his sisters any more, but happy none the less. Syaoran was staring at the picture and didn't notice the look of concern on Tomoyo's face.
"I told Meiling that we shouldn't have sent that photo, but she insisted." Said Tomoyo, she didn't want him to be sad in his new life, she was about to take it off the bureau when,
"No, leave it there." Said Syaoran, he missed his sisters so much, sure they bugged the living hell out of him, but they weren't snobby rich girls, they were down to earth and he never realized how important they were to him till now. "I forgot I had this picture, it was taken the day of my birthday and they said that since I wasn't a little boy any more, that I was "one of them"… I love them so much." He said, but as each word left his mouth they got softer and softer till it was a whisper only Tomoyo could hear. She stood next to him and waited till Syaoran snapped out of his trance and when he looked up he saw every one looking at him, he blinked and then said,
"Well, thanks for everything you guys, I really appreciate it." They went to the living room and were talking about their plans for the future.
"Takashi here graduated one year early and he signed up for the army," said Chiharu, "and me and Tomoyo are going to be seniors this coming year."
"That's cool, in Hong Kong we start school one year before you guys in Japan so me, my cousin Meiling, and Eriol, Tomoyo's new boy friend and my best friend, finished this year." Explained Syaoran.
"NO WAY! You got a new man Tomoyo? And you didn't tell me?" said Chiharu with a hurt look on her face.
"I'm sorry Chiharu, I was going to tell you but then I got all caught up with Syaoran's stuff that I forgot." Said Tomoyo.
"Well, any way, he signed up for the army to get scholarship money to attend Tokyo University. What about you Syaoran?" asked Chiharu.
"I don't know, I haven't given it much thought. I mean I brought all my credit cards, thanks to Tomoyo they wont be able to track me down if I use them, and enough cash to last me a long, long time. What do you think I should do?" asked Syaoran.
"Hey! Why don't you join the army with me? I know it must be below you, seeing as how you're a Li, but didn't you want to start a normal life? What's more down to earth than to be a low ranking solder?" said Takashi, he hoped that Syaoran took his advice, they were already friends and it was only the first day. Syaoran considered this.
`That's not such a bad idea. Maybe I should go with him.'
"Why not? Sure Takashi, I'll join with you. We can go tomorrow and sign me up. But don't I have to be a citizen?"
"Leave that to me." said Tomoyo.
"No one has better connections than Tomoyo!" said Chiharu. They spent the rest of the day on the apartment grounds, showing Syaoran everything, Chiharu giggled when they had to show him how to wash his clothes. It was a nice apartment and the rent wasn't very high, much to Syaoran's surprise. It was really late when, Tomoyo said
"We should get going. Come on Chiharu, I'll give you a ride." the guys walked them to their car and Chiharu gave Takashi a lingering kiss.
"I'll see you tomorrow." She got into the passenger seat and Tomoyo sped off in a cloud of dust. They went back up the elevator and Syaoran took a shower after Takashi. As he got out of the shower he looked around, his green towel robe that had Syaoran in silver thread hung on its own peg, and his lime green toothbrush stood in the toothbrush holder.
`Home sweet home' thought Syaoran as he put on some green, cotton pajama pants and got under the covers. `Thank God… for this chance.' And drifted into the first, real, peaceful sleep he had had in a long time.
The Next Morning
Syaoran woke up at 8 a.m. and rubbed his eyes, he stretched his limbs, got up and opened the curtains, the sun was shining and he wanted to be outside so he took a quick shower and put on some black, cargo Dickies shorts and a dark green shirt and went to the kitchen.
Kitchen
"Morning. How did you sleep?" asked Takashi as he poured himself some coffee, he had on some faded jeans and a dark red muscle shirt.
"Really good actually. I think I'm going to like it here more than I thought." He got some waffles from the freezer and ate them when the toaster spit them out along with his coffee. They finished eating when the doorbell rang. Takashi went to go get the door and came back with the 2 girls.
"Hey." Said Tomoyo, she had on a black mini, uniform-style, skirt, a camouflage, spaghetti strap shirt, 2 dog tags that Eriol gave her, one had there picture and the other had their names and it said Always and Forever, and all black high top Converse, her hair was down and curled up at the ends.
"Hi." Said Chiharu, she wore dark blue jean short shorts, a yellow tub top, and a pair of yellow Converse that went all the way to her knees {Have you seen them? They're so cool! I have some!}, her hair was loose, to her shoulder blades, and curly. She gave Takashi a kiss and sat down at the table. They sat down and talked about how Japan had managed to get into a war with Cambodia, Syaoran felt really happy that he was going to enter a new chapter in his life, and it wasn't going to be boring. They talked for about 2 hours and then got up.
"Well, we're off to the mall. Bye honey." Said Chiharu, she gave Takashi a kiss.
"Oh, before I forget, here Syaoran," said Tomoyo as she handed him some papers, "these are your citizen papers, see, you still have your same name but according to this your half Japanese from your mom's side and 18 so don't forget. If some one happens to mention something about your Chinese blood, just tell them that you're like a 3rd cousin or some thing."
And with that, Chiharu and Tomoyo went down stairs, got into the silver Porsche and sped away. Takashi watched them leave through the open kitchen window and said,
"We should get going too. If you show up now you might get your exam this afternoon, don't worry, it's a piece of cake." He said quickly when he saw the nervous look on his face. It wasn't that Syaoran thought he would fail, he knew he would pass with flying colors, but he didn't want to make a bad first impression. They got up and went down the elevator and got into Takashi's 2004 crimson, coupe Mercedes Bens.
Registration
They drove for half an hour and Syaoran saw that they were heading for the pier. They parked the car in a parking lot and went across the street to a dark blue building. They went inside and Takashi led Syaoran to the left and up to the second floor, they walked to a room labeled Registration and went inside. Syaoran saw some guys sitting on couches, reading magazines, talking on their cell phones, or half sleeping. There were 4 light brown doors that lead to other rooms, each door had a gold plate with Navy, Army, Marines, or Air Force engraved on it.
"Come on Syaoran, we need to go in here." Said Takashi as he walked trough the door labeled Army. They went inside and found another smaller waiting room and 3 doors that Syaoran assumed belonged to the Lieutenant. He signed his name on the clipboard and waited his turn.
1 Hour Later
"Li Syaoran." Called the secretary at the front desk. He got up and headed towered the door that she indicated. As he knocked on the door he heard a deep voice from the other side.
"Come in." so he did, he found him self in a small-medium size office with a dark brown desk at the end and a tall looking man sitting in a chair with dark, dark, almost black, hair that fell around his face casually and narrow, dark brown eyes. He sat at the table and examined Syaoran from head to toe, finally he said,
"Take a seat, Mr.?"
"Li Syaoran, Sir." He sat down with a blank expression on him face, which he had mastered; he looked straight into the eyes of the man before him.
"I am Lieutenant Kinomoto Touya." Said the 24-year-old man, "I need you to fill out this paper work and I need a copy on your citizen ship certificate." Touya didn't like the guy from the moment he laid eyes on him, he could tell that he was a trouble maker, and he didn't want or need this obviously spoiled rich kid, he was a leader not a baby sitter. He watched as Syaoran filled out his paper work. 10 minutes later he looked up when he didn't hear the scratching of the pen on paper.
"OK, I'm done, and here is my certificate." Said Syaoran, he got the feeling that the guy didn't like him and he got really ticked off because he hadn't done anything wrong. Lit. Kinomoto took the papers and narrowed his eyes even more than they already were.
"It says here that your part Chinese, any relation with the Li Corporation?"
`Crap! Damn, I wish we weren't so famous!' thought Syaoran, but not once did his emotionless mast crack.
"Not really, my father was just a 3rd or 4th cousin to them; I never really cared so I never looked into it."
"Oh, well I also see that both of your parents are deceased, do you have any other family we can contact if you go missing or die while in combat?" he wanted to scare the shit out of this guy but it didn't seem to be working.
"I don't have any family except a… cousin, Hiragizawa Eriol. I know he would let every one else know." He made a mental note to tell Eriol what to do if some thing were to happen to him, he had never thought that he might die.
"Duh, stupid! Millions of people die at war, why would you be any different?' he mentally smirked at the thought that he was finally just like every one else, no special treatment.
"OK, well I need you to fill his information here." And indicated with him highlighter. "You never know what can happen when you're out there."
`Does this guy have nerves of steel of something? He doesn't even flinch. Doesn't matter, talk is cheap; it's what you do when you're on the field.'
"Your physical, mental, and medical exams will be today at 1400 hours, understood?"
"Perfectly, Sir." With that they both got up and shook hands, they both squeezed the others hand as hard as they could but neither flinched, they let go and Syaoran walked out.
"Hey man. How'd it go? I see you got Touya, isn't he great?" asked Takashi.
"Oh yeah! He's amazing!" said Syaoran sarcastically. He didn't like the guy.
1400 hours (2:00 pm)
Syaoran came went to his exam and found Lieutenant Kinomoto in the training room that was assigned to him.
`Great. Like I don't have enough stuff bugging me.' He walked in and Touya started drilling him hard from the beginning. He made him do things that pushed his physical limit, dug into his mind so deep that he thought he was going to go crazy, but he didn't flinch at any moment, he showed no signs of weakness. He was sweating so much and almost shaking from rage, the smirk on Touya's face was too much for him to handle, he wanted to rip his head off and shred it into a million pieces. At last, after 4 hours, Touya said,
"That's all I need. You did better than I thought you would. Your results will be mailed to you in 1 weeks time." And he walked out the door and into his office. Syaoran was dead tired but the rage that was inside of him was too much and he hit the punching bag so hard that it ripped. He was panting and wanted to scream, but he knew it wasn't the place or the time. He picked up his things and headed outside and to his car. He got in and immediately turned on the air conditioner. He sat there for 5 minutes and then drove back home.
Home
He got home and fell on the couch. He was so tired that he couldn't even go take a shower. As he laid there his eyelids started to close and he fell into a tiresome sleep.
1 hour later
"Hey, hey! Wake up Syaoran!" Syaoran heard some one call to him and he didn't know where they were, his eyes shot open when a freezing towel was thrown on his face.
"What the FUCK! That's cold man!" yelled Syaoran, but he had to admit it was refreshing.
"How long have you been asleep?" asked Takashi, Syaoran looked at the clock.
"About an hour. It was so fucking hard! That guy is a fucking asshole! He worked me like a dog!"
"Who? Lieut. Kinomoto? He's really cool. Are you sure?"
"No duh dumb ass! I'm dead." And his head lulled back.
"Well, you need a shower. Go take one and I'll order some pizza." Syaoran got up and dragged himself to the bathroom. He put the water on warm since every muscle in his entire body was aching, and stood in the shower for almost an hour, just letting the water hit him. He was worried that Touya wasn't going to let him in, and was very sure that he had never drilled any one so hard.
`Who the fuck does he think he is!' thought Syaoran as he got out, dried his hair, pulled on some black sweat pants, a black muscle shirt, and went to the kitchen. As he entered the room he saw 4 pizzas, Tomoyo, and Takashi and Chiharu kissing.
"Get a room." Said Syaoran.
"Maybe later, we're been waiting for you so we can eat." Said Chiharu. Takashi looked at her with a look of surprise.
"Really?"
"No! I was just kidding!" she said as she got off his lap and sat next to Tomoyo. Syaoran just shook his head and sat next to Takashi, they each took 3 slices and sat down and were watching Scary Movie 3. They stayed up talking even after the movie was over.
"I hate that guy." Muttered Syaoran.
"He's not that bad." Said Tomoyo.
"Did you do something to get on his bad side?" asked Chiharu.
"He's always been cool with me." Said Takashi.
"That doesn't help me though, I didn't do anything but show him respect and he turned around and bit me like a bull dog. Any way, I'm tired and I need sleep. Good night." He got up and went to his room were he fell asleep before his head hit the pillow.
1 Week Later
"Syaoran! Hey Syaoran!" yelled Takashi from the living room.
"What do you want? I was working on my computer."
"Your letter came in today." Said Takashi, Syaoran dove for the letter and tore it open.
Dear Mr. Li Syaoran,
We are please to inform you that you have been approved and accepted by and into the Japanese Military Service for the work of the armed forces. You will report to General Kinomoto at Fukuoka, Japan, site A:4, on September 10, 2004…
And it went on talking about all the things he would need, what the rules on the site were, and other things around those lines. He couldn't believe it, he actually got in. He re-read the letter 2 more times and one particular part caught him eye, General Kinomoto.
`Could it be that the jack ass got promoted?' thought Syaoran. He looked up and saw Takashi looking at him.
"I'm in." he couldn't help but smile and Takashi punched the air.
"That's awesome! What site were you assigned to?"
"A:4"
"Cool! Were on the same site! Lets call the girls." They all went to a club to celebrate and finally got home at 3 am.
Back At The Apartment
"Well? When do you guys leave?"
"On the 8th."
"But that's in 5 days! What the hell!" said Chiharu as she hugged Takashi. "I don't want you to go any more!" she said as she wrapped her arms around his neck.
"I have to. Don't worry, I'll come back, I promise." And he kissed her. When the emotional moment had passed the girls went home the guys took showers one after the other and went to bed.
5 Days Later
A crying Chiharu couldn't be consoled. She clung to Takashi like gum to a shoe.
"Don't go! I love you! You wont come back!" she blurted out, she didn't know what she would do if he didn't come back. Takashi was stunned.
`Did she just say she loved me?'
"Y-you l-love me?" her eyes popped open, she had told him in all the crying she didn't even realize it, she had just scared the love of her life away.
"I…I… yes." She whispered, and held on tighter.
"I love you too." He said, her head snapped back and he could see that she was crying.
"Really?!" and as he nodded she jumped and wrapped her legs around him waist and kissed him passionately.
"Awwwwwwwwww! Isn't it cute? And I got it all on tape!" said Tomoyo. They all said their good bye's, and as the guys went into the air, they could see the girls become smaller and smaller.
Fukuoka, Japan, site A:4
"We made it." Said Takashi as he stretched in their new dorms.
"We need to meet in the training area in about 2 hours, what do you want to do till then?" asked Syaoran.
"Lets just chill outside."
"Fine. Not much to do here any way." And they got up and headed to where they saw all the other guys. They sat down on up-turned buckets and some were just on the floor. Takashi and Syaoran sat down near a beautiful cherry blossom tree when,
"Hey, you guys new?" asked a tall, 17-year-old guy with black, spiky, hair and bright yellow eyes, he had the same build as Syaoran and Takashi.
"Yeah. I'm Takashi and this is my friend Syaoran."
"Hey." Said Syaoran
"My names Aaron. So you guys just got in huh?"
"Hey Aaron!" shouted another tall, 17-year-old guy with dark, dark brown, spiky hair, and light turquoise eyes, he also had the same build as Syaoran.
"Hey man, this is Syaoran and Takashi. They just got here." Said Aaron and indicated who was who.
"Hey, my names Edgar. Wait, Takashi? That sounds familiar… I know! Your dating my girlfriends best friend, Chiharu, right?"
"Yeah, wait, how long have you and Rika been going out?"
"About a week. I just got here too, we were both in Australia on vacation and we sort of bumped in to each other. She said she was still going to stay for another week."
"Chiharu is going to be psyched! Rika probably wants to surprise her." They went on to talking about other things when,
"Hey, who's that?" asked Syaoran, about 20 yards away, the most stunning girls he had ever seen was walking through the grounds, she had short, chestnut hair that was in 2 little pigtails, a mini, uniform-style, pink skirt with one black line going all around on the bottom, a tight, black, sleeveless shirt with one strap and the other shoulder was bare, she carried an electric guitar case on her back, her hair was blowing in the wind as she walked, she looked like an angel, and when she turned her head in his direction he saw, in the reflection of the sun, the most beautiful emerald eyes he had ever seen in his life.
"Yeah, isn't she gorgeous? That Kinomoto Sakura, General Kinomoto's daughter." said Aaron.
"Yeah, that's Touya's sister." said Takashi.
"Every guy on the site has the hots for her. And can you blame them? She's beautiful." said Edgar, "But to me, she's no Rika." He said with a smile.
"I wouldn't get my hopes up if I were you; She's off limits to any and every guy that comes within 3 feet of her, Lit. Kinomoto makes sure of it. Getting her is like trying to fit the whole ocean into a bottle of water, can't be done." Said Aaron, and as Syaoran saw her leave he thought,
`I have to have her no matter what.'
