Chapter 1

~~~~~

"Hoe...?"

Sakura found herself safe and comfortable on her own bed.

"It was just a dream...."She turned and went back to sleep. Then she remembered, "Oh no! The date!" Careful not to wake-up Kero, she ran to the bathroom to dress-up.

<What on earth was that dream all about anyway...?  Fight till the end for my safety? Heck with that?>She thought as she rushes downstairs for breakfast.

"Morning, Dad!"

"Sakura? You don't have to go to school, why are you up so early?"

"Oh, I'm suppose to...... meet a friend at Central park by ten."

"A friend? Is it a date?" (smile, smile)

"What?"

"I'm joking!"

"Oh, yeah....nice one, haha....." *sweatdrop*

"Did you say ten- it's nine-thirty now."

"Oh!! I have to go!! Bye Dad!"

"Bye."

She grabbed her backpack and yelled, "Be back in a flash!"

~~~~~

<Oh man, why did I asked her out, this is insane! What would I say, hi? You look beautiful as always? Oh no, oh no, OH NO!!!!>

A boy was sitting on a bench in Central park, he looked nervous, too nervous, people will think that he had committed a crime or something.

<Ok, so I'm over reacting a little, calm down, calm down...>

"Syaoran!"

"S-Sakura!" (failed to calm down)

"I'm sorry that I'm late, how long have you been here?"

"Not too long..." (in other words, almost half an hour...)

"So, shall we get going?"

"Su-sure."

Sakura went beside Syaoran and took his hand 

"Huh?" Syaoran asked with a question mark on his face.

"Well, it's supposed to be a date, right?"

"Oh, yeah...."

"Great, where are we headed?"

"Ahhhhh....."

"...Why don't we just walk around for a while?"

"O-okay..."

And so they did. (Pretty boring for a date, huh?) A minute later, Sakura's ponytail came loose automatically. 

"That's weird. It just came off like that. Syaoran, I have to go fix it in the bathroom, OK?"

"Oh, sure."

She went in to the bathroom, and fixed it. Just then, she saw something shiny on the floor, it was a crystal that shone like a star. She went back out, and was trying to find a lost and found center or something, but all she found was Syaoran, standing there, waiting for her.

"Syaoran, I found this...."

She couldn't finish her sentence-the crystal glew with an eye-blinding light. The light swirled around Sakura, and began to suck her in.

She screamed. Syaoran realized she was in some kind of danger, and ran towards her. 

"SAKURA!!!!"  He grabbed her hand, Syaoran was then pulled into the light too......

They disappeared. No one saw what happened, they're just....gone....

~~~~~

"Guess there's no prey today."

A girl dressed in an ancient Chinese costume was hunting on a grassy mountain. Her name was Shi Shi, she had dark hair, and she was around ten to twelve years old.

"I'll have to call it a day."

A loud noise attracted her attention.

"Huh...?"

~~~~~

"Hoe...?" Sakura woke up with a big headache.

"Ah, you're awake."

"Who...are you?"

"I'm Shi Shi, who are you?"

"I-i'm Sakura....wha-where's Syaoran!?"

"'Little wolf'? You mean the boy?"

"Yes!"

"He's fine, as a matter of fact, he's sleeping right beside you."

Sakura slowly turned around and found that Shi Shi was telling the truth.

"Oh my!" All of the sudden, her headache's gone, and she jumped out of the bed with a world record speed.

"What's wrong? You don't like him..."

"NO!!! IT'S NOT THAT!!" She answered, breaking another world record.

"......." (you got the idea, sweat dropping)

"Well, it's just that, he's a boy, and I'm a girl....."

"It's okay, I understand."

"Ah...where are we?" Syaoran groaned as he began to wake up.

"Why, you're in my house." Shi Shi answered with a bright smile.

"I can tell, but where are we in general?"

"Mount St. Kilo."

"Huh?"

"You never heard of Mt. St. Kilo before????"

"No, what country is this?"

"What do you mean? This is Ometin."

"O-what?"

"Ometin!"

"Wha....how did we get here?"

"You don't belong to Ometin...?"

"No, we belong to Earth."

"Ear......" She jumped as she heard the word "Earth". 

"Then you must be....the legendary....." She hugged Sakura and Syaoran so tight, that they couldn't breathe. 

"You've finally came to save us, legendary heroes!!!!"

"H...(choking) hoe..?"

"I'm sorry, let me explain. There's this legend that was passed down in Ometin from generations to generations, it goes something like this...'When the devils rise from hell, the heroes from a magical place called Earth is going to save us all....'

"And the time has come since you guys dropped by for you to save Ometin. The missioners from hell, or devils, as it says in the legend, had managed to escape over a month ago, they're here to seek revenge because our ancestors locked them up. They've sneaked into the city looking like a human to destroy our societies from the inside, and they-"

"HOLD IT! Give us a chance to talk." Syaoran interrupted. "Why should we help you?"

"Syaoran..."Sakura tried to calm him, but he ignored.

"We have a choice you know, why would we risk our lives, killing devils for your people, I mean, we don't belong here!"

"But Syaoran...."

"We're going home, Sakura." Syaoran grabbed her hand.

"How do you plan to get there?" Shi Shi asked.

"The same way we came, using that stupid stone."

"You mean the Ometin Crystal? Take a look."

Sakura took the crystal out of her pocket. "It's ....black."

"The power's out, that's why, it's only good for one trip."

Syaoran was really pissed off now. "Alright, how do we charge it up?"

"It's not a battery, you restore power by collecting souls of the devils. When it's full you can go."

"Is it going to be all fixed up?"

"You bet it is."

"Syaoran....." Sakura spoke softly. "I...wanted to help..."

Syaoran turned around and saw the sad puppy face. He sighed. "Do we have a choice?"

Her face lit up, and smiled happily. "Thanks."

"Okay!" Shi Shi interrupted "You need an Ometin look so that the missioners don't recognize you as the legendary heroes, because if they do, you'll be in danger. As the matter of fact, don't let anyone know about it at all, it's safer that way. So come this way, please."

~~~~~

<Lucky that I brought my sword...> Syaoran thought as he changed in to the Ometin clothes. "So! How do I look?" Syaoran's heart beat raced as he saw Sakura in those clothes.

"....It looks good..."

Then Shi Shi popped out of no where. "Really, but according to your face you love it."

Syaoran said, "If there are devils in this world, you're one of them."

Shi Shi ignored that, "Before you go, here's some basics: 1. The missioners' hideout is way south, if you destroy their leader, then you destroy them all. 2. The missioners look basically human but they all have a devil shape tattoo on some part of their body, that's their weakness. 3. Each missioners has their own power so if........."

"Hold on! Let me take some notes!" Syaoran grabbed a pencil and a piece of paper and started to write things down. Sakura couldn't help laughing.

~~~~~

"It's a shame that I can't come with you."

They were all standing in front of the door, ready to leave.

"You can't, Shi Shi?" Sakura sounded disappointed.

"No, I have to stay here."

"One more thing, how come you know so much?"

"My ancestor's the one who locked the hell's gate up, it's my duty to stay here and guide the heroes-you two."

"Oh, I see...."

"Here's some Ometin money, it isn't much, but I believe it'll be helpful."

"Thanks."

"Can we go now, Sakura?" Syaoran groaned.

"Coming!"

They waved as they said goodbye.

"Nice, I can't believe this is our first date," Syaoran complained as he walked.

Sakura smiled. 

"And we still have a long way to go."

Man! That took forever!  I don't have any more energy left, so good night! -_-;;;
