Spirit Warriors
Chapter 1
Love & Hate
Hello! ^^ This is another kind of side project I decided to post here. It's based on a manga I wrote/am writing (slash drawing xD) and the original is on Fiction Press. But being as nobody reviews on Fiction Press, I also uploaded it here! XD I wrote it all quite a while back so it's pretty amateurish. :P But still, read and review please! ^.^ And please try to actually review! I know all you people out there that only story alert or favourite but don't actually review! And that especially makes me mad with the first chapter! XD Cuz with no reviews, no one reads it! XD SO PLEASE!
The two most popular boys in school, Li Syaoran and Hiiragazawa Eriol.
Two simple average girls, Kinomoto Sakura and Daidouji Tomoyo.
Then their teacher, one of the best liked, good looking teachers of the school, Mimasaka Ayumu.
"He's just so cute, and funny, and awesome… I think I'm in love. Wait, I know I'm in love!" I cradled my head in my hands as I swooned to my friend Tomoyo. She rolled her eyes. "Hey, is there someone you like, Tomoyo?"
She blushed, looking in the direction of Li and Hiiragazawa. "It's-," she began, but then I noticed sensei, and I immediately shoved Tomoyo out of the way, giggling.
"Hi, Sensei! What can I do for you?" I asked.
He smiled his melting smile at me. "I just came to give you this; excellent work. Really, I was amazed." He handed me my essay, a giant 100% scribbled on the top of the paper. I smiled.
The class ran out of the room as the bell rang, eager to leave school. "Ah, I'd like to talk to you, Kinomoto-kun." He told me as I headed to the door. He noticed Tomoyo lingering, waiting for me. "You can leave, Wada-kun." He told her brightly.
She looked confused, but nodded and left anyway.
"So anyway," he turned to me.
Suddenly, I was pinned to the wall, his face just inches from mine. "That was an excellent paper," he whispered. I blushed, my heart pounding, my eyes widening as his face moved closer to mine, as well as the rest of his body.
A knock on the door stopped him, and he whipped around, lightning fast. "What is it?" he called.
The door opened, showing Awazagiriih-sensei. He was apparently foreign, with a name like that…. "I need Kinomoto, Li, Wada, and…Hiiragazawa tomorrow for a period." He emphasized Hiiragazawa a little, almost some strain on his face. I expected a 'Sure thing, buddy!" from Miyazaki-sensei, but he only snapped, "Fine," before giving Awazagiriih-sensei an icy glare, which he returned.
Awazagiriih seemed to notice me for the first time now, and his expression grew suspicious. "What…" he asked, concern covering his face. He turned to Miyazaki-sensei. "What were you doing to her? I know your secret, as you know mine. I won't let you do anything to her—tomorrow…" his voice softened to a whisper. "…we will know the truth, about you, about me. So lay off, you're too late."
"Ah, but we were only talking about her absolutely amazing paper." He showed Awazagiriih the paper. "So you may leave now."
Awazagiriih sneered as he walked out of the classroom.
My eyes were wide, my mouth was hanging open, and my heart was beating a mile a minute.
But…but I thought he was going to kiss me!
"It's true, it happened!" I had just told Tomoyo about the events that had occurred the day before, but I didn't think she believed me.
"I never said it wasn't!" she told me. "That's just really weird."
I sighed. "I know, isn't it?" I backed up when I heard the bell ring. "I've never seen Sensei be so cold to someone before…"
"Er…Sakura-chan, watch out…Sakura-chan!" Tomoyo hissed.
"What-," I started- but then I bumped into someone and we both went tumbling into the desks. "Omigawd, I'm so sorry, I-," I started, but stopped dead. I looked up and saw Li Syaoran, wiping the blood off his face and scowling at me. "Crap!" I muttered as he stood.
"Why don't you watch where you're going, fool!" he snarled at me. I growled under my breath.
"You're the fool, so shut up!" I yelled to his back. He turned around, shocked and pissed.
"What!" he barked. A few people gasped around us. Suddenly, the door opened, and Awazagiriih-sensei stepped in.
"Kinomoto, Li, Wada and Hiiragazawa, please come with me for next period," he said, not addressing Miyazaki-sensei.
Syaoran turned swiftly. "Yes, sir!"
"Well, as soon as a teacher comes in, he's all for the peace, ain't he?" I scoffed. Tomoyo nodded somberly, clearly worried for my health. The other students were already covering up for us, setting the desks straight again.
We all sat, staring, at Awazagiriih-sensei. He said nothing.
…
…
…
…
…
Tomoyo snapped.
"WHY ARE WE HERE!" she roared into his face. He was stunned for a moment…going rather limp for a second there… then he gathered himself again, clearing his throat.
"Well, I like to keep things short and sweet. I am…" He pointed to Hiiragazawa Eriol. "You from the future. You guys are Spirit Warriors."
We all gaped at him, but Hiiragazawa almost didn't looked surprised.
"I thought our habits were the same," he said simply. They (he?O.O) both nodded.
"You'll meet the rest of you, and my wife, later."
Syaoran raised his hand.
"Syaoran."
"I don't like sci-fi manga."
In a flash, Awazagiriih-sensei's foot sent Syaoran's face flying. "This is NOT a manga, dolt, it's your life!" He muttered, "Well, technically, it is a manga, but…"
We all scooted away from Syaoran's body and Awazagiriih.
"Ahem. You will notice that Awazagiriih backwards is Hiiragazawa. Please address me as so from now on," he told us politely.
We all nodded in unison, Eriol kicking Syaoran's head up and down as if he was nodding.
"Any questions?" Hiiragazawa-sensei asked. The three of us left remaining conscious all raised our hands. Hiiragazawa looked at Tomoyo for a while. She blushed. "Tomoyo-kun?"
"What…what are Spirit Warriors?" she asked.
"Well, good spirits are just a swirly shining light. We simply help them cross over, kind of like that American show, Ghost Whisperer. But, sometimes they will turn into evil spirits of different ranks, and we are forced to destroy them. They look a lot like the gloomy 'spirits' from mangas. In fact…" His gaze flickered to beside us. "Here are some now. Touch one."
A bad spirit floated in front of us. We all reached out with our index fingers (including Syaoran, who had regained consciousness) and a light flashed around us. Suddenly, we were in these strange clothes with weapons. Tomoyo looked like a samurai, but with nunchaku instead of a sword. It was Eriol with the sword, draped in a kimono that slightly resembled InuYasha. I glanced at Syaoran, and he looked like an archer, with a gigantic glowing bow and arrow in his hand. He looked at it admirably. When I looked down at myself, I was wearing what looked like a Chinese robe…thing, but with a cloth belt wrapped around my waist and it was cut off almost like a short skirt. The sleeves were really long, width-wise. I held a spear-like thing in my hands.
Suddenly, the evil spirit thingies transformed into samurai with no face.
"Faceless samurai- level one in evil spirit rankings!" Hiiragazawa-sensei yelled to us. One of them looked at me, and suddenly charged. It got really close, and I could see my end.
"Kyaaaa!" I shrieked.
Shing!
I opened my eyes to see all three faceless samurai pinned through the head with an arrow. I looked at Syaoran. "Syaoran, you…? Why?" I stuttered.
He pursed his lips, a little red spot on his cheek (I, of course, thought nothing of it) He nodded.
Hiiragazawa-sensei interrupted us. "Well, hopefully next time, Syaoran won't steal all the enemies and let us all have a turn, hmm?"
"Hmph."
"Well, you have one major enemy, but he's really close to you; you see him everyday, and you all like him. STOP," Hiiragazawa-sensei continued.
"Well, who is he?" I asked, confused.
"It's-," he began, but the bell cut him off. He sighed. "I'll tell you tomorrow. Go back to your class for the next period."
In the hallway, I saw Syaoran walking. I went over to him, facing his back. "Uhmm… I wanted to say… thank you. For saving me back there. I'm truly grateful." I bowed.
He glanced back, curious, but when he noticed I saw, he whipped around again. "Whatever."
RANDOMLY THIRD PERSON NOW.
Sakura huffed a little, mad at Syaoran's meager response to her thank you. But little did she know, Syaoran blushed slightly as he walked down the halls.
I hope you liked it! ^.^ Please review! I'll update soon I promise...if you review! ;) Thanks!
