The Five Talons of Abberation, Chapter Two...

Syaoran walked down the streets of a small town, which was called Sanlow. His Jerboa was perched upon his shoulder, grooming himself. "So, Kuuma." He said. "What to do today..." He walked along, before stopping at a stall, which was full of fruit. He took a couple of berries and apples and paid the man, before turning back to the road and walking away. He kept his hood pulled up, careful to avoid eye contact. He walked for a while, before he spotted a crowd of people. He walked up to them, shoving his way to the front. There was a girl and a Yi Ling in the center of the circle, and the girl stood atop of a barrel. A violin was on her shoulder, and she rested her chin on it, her foot tapping on the barrel, as she began to play it, creating a rhythmic sounding beat. Her Yi Ling began to creat a beat alongside hers, making it sound even better. It wasn't long before she started singing, and she was plenty good at it.

I met her in the summer

Down by the Golden Bay

Like flowers in the water

I can't forget her face

No wonder she's a stunner

And takes my breath away

Like flowers in the water

She dances in the rain

Then she paused, before continuing.

There once was a boy that looked like me

He lived in a town right by the sea

Just skippin' stones and dreamin' life away

And that's no way for a boy to live

With a wandering mind and a heart so big

Just waitin' on a pretty girl to show her face

He was focused on her by now, watching her as she hopped to the ground and started dancing, before continuing with her song, repeating the first verse.

I met her in the summer

Down by the Golden Bay

Like flowers in the water

I can't forget her face

No wonder she's a stunner

And takes my breath away

Like flowers in the water

She dances in the rain

No wonder she's a stunner

And takes my breath away

Like flowers in the water

She dances in the rain

She paused once again, and looked directly at him. She had pretty chartreuse eyes, and her hair was pure white. She tipped her head towards the center of the crowd, gesturing for him to dance. He shook his head, continuing to stare at her. She then shrugged, before continuing to dance and sing.

We'd sneak down by the roaring rocks

Her emerald eyes and feiry locks

The greatest sight that I have ever seen

She's a bonnie siren of the sea

And plays me like a melody

Just blurrin' lines between real life and dreams

I met her in the summer

Down by the Golden Bay

Like flowers in the water

I can't forget her face

No wonder she's a stunner

And takes my breath away

Like flowers in the water

She dances in the rain

No wonder she's a stunner

And takes my breath away

Like flowers in the water

She dances in the rain

Just like the waves I wish that she'd come back around

And stay with me in this old town

I met her in the summer

Down by the Golden Bay

Like flowers in the water

I can't forget her face

No wonder she's a stunner

And takes my breath away

Like flowers in the water

She dances in the rain

No wonder she's a stunner

And takes my breath away

Like flowers in the water

She dances in the rain

She stopped, bowing as the people applauded her. Syaoran stood there as the crowd dispersed, wondering if she'd come talk to him. She placed her violin in the case, before turning and walking towards him. "Hi." He said. She smirked at him. "Why not dance?" She said. He kicked at the dirt. "Oh... uh..." He struggled to think of a reason. "I uh... can't dance." She scoffed. "Don't be silly." She said. "Everyone can dance, if you just go with the rhythm." He shrugged. "I don't know..." He said. "Oh well then." The girl said, shrugging. "Not like I care."
