A clear field with only a single tree obstructing the scenery, a Sakura tree. The petals are wet from recent rain, they shine in the sunlight almost like pink glitter. Yes the tree really is beautiful, but that's not what is truly capturing my attention. It's her.

She stands tall against the wind yet appears so frail, almost like a petal holding onto its branch for dear life. Facing away from me but I can see her auburn hair as it moves in the warm breeze and shines in the light. You can almost see just how soft it is. It rests just above her shoulders with longer strands flowing below. Her skin is pale but healthy, she is thin but not underweight, small but tall as well. She's a wonder to my eyes, I've never seen anything so graceful before in my entire life.

Only about twenty feet away from me, I open my mouth to reach her but silence is what emits from my lips. I yell at the top of my lungs and wave my hands in the air, nothing. I try to approach her but I am frozen where I stand, my legs won't move. "What is going on?" I ask myself in a panic. "Why can't I move? Why can't I speak?!" I clench my fists and squeeze my eyes shut to regain my sanity. The image of beauty itself is standing right in front of me and I cannot reach her.

Suddenly, yet softly a petal falls onto the tip of my nose. I open my eyes with surprise, "Sakura?" I quietly say out loud. Then my eyes bolt open, "I can say that?! Is that the only word I can say?!" I try out a few other words but none of them do me justice. The only word my lips will allow to escape my body is…

"Sakura…"

I calmly say out loud. Just then my entire world flips as I notice the mysterious woman raise her head up to the sky. Almost as if I had awakened the beauty from her own thoughts. "Sakura." I say a bit louder to test the waters. A few still moments go by and she shifts in her position. She does not speak any words but simply responds with "Mmmm..." and my heart is stolen. The sound of her voice was like liquid gold. I completely filled my heart, body and soul with warmth and the feeling of security. I close my eyes to take in the new sensation then open them once more.

This time a little bolder I shout "Sakura!". I patiently await a response when suddenly the wind stops, the petals stop falling, everything in the entire universe stops. Except for her. As if it happened in slow motion, I watch in anticipation as the woman turns to face me. I nervously clench my fists waiting to come face to face with heaven herself. I see a small bit of her face poking out of her hair and a quick glimpse of something light green, her eyes maybe? Pink lips and…. And….

RRRIIIIINNNNNNGGGGGGG!

And I open my eyes to see a blank white ceiling. "You've got to be fucking kidding me." I say out loud as I cover my face with the green pillow besides me. I lay alone in my bed listening to my alarm clock tick, counting the seconds go by.

Well this would be as good of a time as ever to give you some background information on myself. My name is Syaoran Li, I'm nineteen years old and I currently live in Hong Kong, China. I've recently graduated high school and I'm about to enroll in my first year of college. I'm a peice of shit, rich boy, know-it-all, who never knows when to keep his mouth shut. Or at least that's what everyone around me keeps saying.

I'm a smart ass who is actually very intelligent, I blow money because I will never run out of it, and girls throw themselves at me endlessly because honestly I can have any woman I want with no effort at all. Everything they say is true to some extent I guess? I do have a lot of money and I guess I am pretty smart. Women do seem to like me a lot as well and I've been known to have a pretty bad temper. Seems like I've got it all huh? Money, girls, looks, money, smarts, did I say money? Anyways, yeah it all seems perfect but there is one problem.

I'm in love with someone I've never met. Hell, I've never even seen her face! I have no idea where in the entire world she could be or if she even exists at all for that matter! So yeah I've got money, but I'd spend every last cent if it meant I could find her. Women? She's the only girl for me honestly. The only useful thing about my 135 IQ is that I guess I could somehow use it to find her, keep her happy and safe. Provide for her. And of course use my dashing good looks to make her fall for me!

Okay I might need a bit more than just looks to win someone like that over but I also have my confidence….and money, right? Anyways that's enough of a background story for now, I've got a huge meeting to get to and there's no way I'm going to be late for the fifth time in a row. Why a meeting? Well the only reason I have money is because I'm the heir to the Li fortune and all its companies. So yeah I have to know my shit and to know my shit I have to go to meetings.

I jump out of bed and start to get ready for the day. Brush my teeth, shower, dress myself and I'm out the door. Noticing the time, I run down the stairs into the kitchen to see my one and only bitch mother making breakfast for one of her many "friends". She didn't even bother changing out of his shirt or taking off her stockings. Pathetic. I pass both of them without even giving so much of a sideways glance. "Xiao." Mother calmly calls across the room causing me to stop in my tracks. I turn around to face her, "What do you want?" I say with an attitude and a smile. I notice her "friend" sit up in his chair, I guess trying to scare me into being polite? Mother glances over to her friend also noticing his action, then back to me. "Where are you going son?" She asks sitting in a stool by her current boy toy. I hold my hand up to stop her from going any further "Please don't, I understand you're trying to act like the perfect mother in front of your new 'toy' but save it. I'm going to another meeting, not like you've ever fucking cared." I say in a bold voice. At that moment mother's 'friend' stands up and stomps over to me. He's pretty big but size doesn't scare me.

The man grabs me by my collar and pulls me up to his face, I can still smell some of last nights alcohol on his breath. Disgusting. "Listen you little shit, you don't speak to your mother that way! She's my woman now and I'm not going to allow some punk like you disrespect her, even if you are her own son! You got that?!" He spits onto my face. I swear some people need to learn how to say it and not spray it. I stare back into his eyes and give out a small smirk almost mocking him with my lack of fear. "You don't have ears or something?! Answer when you are spoken to punk!" He shouts louder slightly shaking me.

"I would but I'm scared you might spit into my mouth, fucking pig." I say with a great big smile. The man's face completely dropped, he looked as if he had just seen a pig fly (not him but another pig). In the blink of an eye he went from shock to frustration and then pure rage. I almost couldn't keep my laughter quiet as I watched his blood boil before my eyes, it was a joke at first but now he really did look like a roasted pig.

"LISTEN HERE YOU LITTLE SHIT! SAY SOMETHING LIKE THAT AGAIN AND I'LL KNOCK YOU INTO LAST WEEK YOU HEAR ME?! I'LL KICK YOUR FUCKING ASS!" He shouts into my ear. "YOUR FATHER MIGHT NOT HAVE TAUGHT YOU SOME MANNERS BUT I'LL BEAT THEM INTO YOU!" At that last sentence I feel a small spark within me. Already knowing this feeling I glance over at my mother and simply narrow my eyes towards her. She knows what it means.

"Put my son down. Now." I hear her say from the other end of the kitchen. She was very calm but had a great amount of strength in her voice. I may not like my mother but I have always admired her strength and power, she could make mountains bow to her.

The man glances back at my mother confusion taking over his expression. "B-but babe? He just..." the man manages to stutter out waiting for her approval to continue. "I said put him down. NOW." Her demand can be heard throughout the entire mansion, echoing down every hall and room. The man quickly releases me and straightens up, "You got lucky this time kid." he says to me giving out a prideful smile. I return the exact smile before loudly stating "No, in fact YOU were the one who was lucky this time. Touch me again and I'll fucking slit your throat while you're asleep." I turn and walk out the door in a flash, the bastard made me late already. I get into my car and drive off to my destination.

-Back in the kitchen-

"Man that boy really does have a mouth, huh? Kill me? I'd like to see him try." The man laughs while taking back his seat in the kitchen. Mother pours him a cup of tea, giggling at his statement. "That's funny, right? Some little guy like him trying to take me on?" He says with a cocky smile. The man picks up the cup of tea and take a sip, letting the warm liquid fill his hungover body. "That's not why I'm laughing." Mother calmly states glancing out the window watching my car leave the front gates and disappear down the street. "Huh? Then what's so funny?" He says pouring himself another class. A couple of silent seconds go by before mother smirks and then opens her mouth to speak "It's just that you wouldn't be the first victim." at that the man puts down his cup and quickly looks over at mother. "What do you mean by that?!" He nervously asks sitting up straight in his chair. Mother gives out a sweet smile that almost looked devious before grabbing the man by his hand and lifting him from the chair. "Nothing my darling, now hows about you and I get back to last night's agenda?" She gently pulls him towards a nearby bedroom. Without giving it a second thought the older man follows her into the darkness and closes the door behind them, locking it shut.

-Back to Syaoran!-

Dancing my way through traffic, I speed my way downtown desperately trying to reach my meeting in time. I can already feel my cell phone vibrating in my pocket, "Shit, they're already calling me." I say outloud as I fish for my phone in my black pants. Trying to not crash into anyone I finally manage to grab my phone and answer it. "Syaoran." I say awaiting the voice on the other side to answer.

"Ah, yes! Well sir, the other gentlemen are wondering where you are. I know you told me to only call you in emergencies but they wouldn't stop pestering me until I called you." A young woman nervously explains. She patiently awaits my response but I give her no such thing. I simply hang up on her and continue on my drive. "They can wait." I tell myself as I turn a corner onto an empty dirt road. I just need five minutes to calm down, I can't show up like this. I continue down the road for about three miles, stop and get down to breathe some fresh air.

I look around and see no one in sight, only a forest in the short distance. The sun is shining so bright it's almost blinding. I cautiously pull my wallet from my pants and remove a folded up piece of paper. I open it to reveal a detailed sketch, it's of a woman standing by a cherry blossom tree. The only thing in this world that calms me and gives me any sanity is a piece of fucking paper. I'm so pathetic. I'm not much of an artist but considering I've had the same dream for almost twelve years now I can make out every single detail with ease. Putting it to paper isn't much of a challenge for me, best idea I've ever had. Now I can rest my eyes upon her whenever things become too much, whenever I can't take the world anymore, whenever I'm awake. If it were up to me I would place myself in a coma just for the chance to see more of her. Regardless of how long I'm asleep the dream never lengthens, never changes. Only last night was different. Last night for the first time ever, I found my voice. I was actually able to get her attention, able to see more of her face. I've been trying for years to get some sort of response out of her and now I know how to do it. Now I'm ready to face her again.

I give a confident smile to my masterpiece before a strong wind violently blows by me slipping the paper from my hand. My eyes widen as I watch it twirl in the breeze quickly distancing itself from me. I reach out to catch it but I'm too slow, it's gone. I begin to run after the small paper into the nearby woods "Why am I chasing a piece of paper? Can't I just draw it again?!" I think to myself as I continue to run.

I stop to catch my breath as I watch my paper softly glide into the forest, almost mocking me. Something, I don't know what but something is telling me to run after it with all my strength. Although every ounce of my sanity is telling me to ditch the paper and get back to my meeting. But I've never been much of a rational man, so I take off. Running after my drawing as fast as I can, dodging tree branches, bushes, and spiderwebs. After about a mile in I begin to lose hope, leaning against a tree I begin to catch my breath.

"Dammit, where the hell did it go? At this rate I'll never get my picture back." I take my phone out to check the time but also notice I have three missed calls and a voicemail. I call my voicemail to listen to the message, "Master Li it's me Kana, please call me back as soon as you get this message! The gentlemen have left, they said they were not going to waste anymore time on you. I tried to reason with them but they made some comment about you being just a spoiled rich kid and left. Please Master Li, as your secretary I cannot allow myself to just sit back and watch you destroy your family's business!"

"That's enough of that." I say to myself as I hang up the phone. Clenching my fists I look up to the covered sky with anger and frustration in my eyes. "Destroy my family's business, huh? Well this 'spoiled rich kid' is the only reason there is any business left." I release my fists and look back down to my phone, the time says 11:45am. "I should at least stop by the office and apologize to Kana, she really does work hard and all I do is trouble her. Not that I care too much, all women are trouble. It's best to not get too close to them-" Just then a bright light emitted from behind me, I couldn't see where it came from but I could see it shining brightly on all the foliage around me.

I turn for a moment and examine the light, it's almost blinding. A few minutes go by and the light slowly dies out. I'm almost in total shock (not complete shock because I've already seen some crazy stuff). "What the hell… was that?" I think to myself slowly moving my feet to find the source. I cautiously move my way through the thick trees, trying to not make any noise. "Man this forest goes on forever, where does it end?!" I think finally coming to a large cluster of trees and bushes. I can see a faint light coming from behind them, sunlight maybe? Is this the end of the forest? I push my way through the final bush and what I see leaves me completely breathless.

It's a clear field...with only a single tree obstructing the scenery, a Sakura tree. The petals seem to be wet from recent rain, they shine in the sunlight...almost like pink glitter. I take a step back and find my breath, I can almost feel my heart about to beat out of my chest. Trying to process exactly what is happening I make my way towards the tree, admiring its beauty. "This is…" I think to myself walking towards the tree. Suddenly I notice something in the corner of my eye moving. It's a girl…

Hope you guys liked the first chapter :) Chapter 2 will be posted soon I promise!
