Chapter 1: The Beginning of Revenge!

Written by Kyu-chan

It was a fine day and the breeze was blowing softly.

Sakura's P.O.V

Ahhh! Fresh new day. Ugh, the luggage is so heavy. Anyway, you can't blame me. Three weeks from home is superb.

"Do you need help?"

I turned around and spotted Syaoran calmly walking, only carrying a backpack.

"You must be joking. Three weeks and all you bring is a backpack? You're crazy."

"No problem. I'm pretty used to it. Come, let me help. You look like you're struggling."

We continued walking down to the pier. Last week was still clearly playing in my mind.

Flashback (Sakura)

"Aaaahhhhhh!"

Tomoyo's scream scared us half to death.

"Guys, take a look at this. I've won three weeks away on a cruise ship for nine people. And you guys are invited," Tomoyo said excitedly.

Syaoran's P.O.V

"Earth to Sakura!" I said loudly. She finally snapped out if her dreamy state.

"Look, isn't she a beauty!" I gestured towards the sea to the cruise ship, The Lost Maiden.

"It looks so grand," she replied. She quickly ran off, leaving me to tend to the luggage.

"Hey, man! What are you doing standing there? Get up here."

My gazed turned to the dock. Eriol and Yamazaki were waving like crazy. I quickly followed Sakura and boarded the ship. It was a tough job, especially with Sakura's heavy luggage. When I finally reached the deck, I saw many other passengers laundering on the dock. But my glance was quickly taken by Tomoyo's colourful T-shirt. She was busy filming everything under the sun.

"Smile for the camera." And before I could focus, 'CLICK'. I just had my photo taken looking blur and confused.

"Tomoyo! How could you do that?"

After I saw my picture from the screen of the digital camera, I had to admit I looked pretty funny.

I scanned the place and hurried over to where Sakura and Yamazaki were standing.

Yamazaki's P.O.V

"Do you know that this ship is haunted by the ghost of its captain?" I was on my fib mode and I needed victims who would believe me. Sakura and Syaoran were the perfect ones. Others had arrived long before them and had been told the history of the ship.

"In the year 1928, this ship was carrying gold to the coasts of India. On the way, a band of pirates captured the ship and took the ship hostage along with her crew and captain. They kept them in a room and would torture them,"

I could clearly see that the one's being tortured were my two victims. Their mouths were wide open and their eyes had a glinter of fear.

"Some of them had decapitated bodies and some were brutally slashed. It would have been a miracle if anyone survived. The pirates killed them off one by one. Finally, one fateful day, the captain was taken to the deck. They tied him to a pole and made him stick out his tongue. The leader drew a knife and then…Oowww!" A hard knock landed on my head.

"Don't believe that guy. He's always lying. That story was just to scare you. Read the leaflets to know what really happened," Chiharu said.

"Oh, no!" I inwardly groaned. Chiharu spoiled my joke that I had really wanted to play on Syaoran and Sakura. And for an extra present, I had a growing bump on my head.

"Oww, my head hurts, I feel like I'm gonna fall," I complained loudly.

"Come, let me see," Chiharu said soothingly. Right in the midst of gloating in my glory, "THUMP" and another blow landed on my sore head.

"Don't you try and make a fool outta me!" Chiharu shouted. The blow had landed on the same spot. Now my head was REALLY throbbing. If I get anymore whacks, I could imagine tomorrow's headlines, 'Boy Dies after Several Blows on the Head'.

Tomoyo's P.O.V

"Candid camera, Eriol."

He gave me one of those dazzling lopsided grins. I don't know about anyone else, but everytime Eriol smiles at me, I have to admit, I swoon. I can't help it. He looks great. He always does. Ok! Cut that out. I'm starting to get all dippy.

"Why don't you put down that camera of yours and join me for a drink," Eriol requested.

"You bet," I closed my camera and followed him.

Mei Ling's P.O.V

"Syaoran, would you mind joining me for a cup of punch later at the lounge?" I asked hopefully.

"No, I'm sorry. I promised Sakura I'd go with her around the ship."

"Well, ok. Sorry to bother," I replied sweetly. Sakura. Sakura. Sakura. Urgh. What was so cool about her? I know I'm backstabbing a 'friend'. But it's not my fault. SHE stole Syaoran away from me! She doesn't deserve him. I do! And I'm going to make sure that the tables turn by the end of this week.

"By the end of this week, Syaoran will be mine," I vowed to myself silently.
