Chapter 2: The Mysterious Kidnapping
It was a calm Monday morning. The birds were chirping, the sun was shin-
Wait.
Wrong story.
It was a stormy Thursday morning. The wind was howling, the rain was raining down heav-
Wait, another wrong story.
It was, in fact, a cloudy day. It was not morning, but 1 o'clock, and the inhabitants of Tsubasa Garden have just finished their lunch, made by their blackmailed-caretaker, Watanuki. Well, one has just finished her noon sake.
I think we all know who that is.
Back to the present, the little monst- I mean- Angels were heading to the sleeping area when a scream was heard. Now, screams are a usual occurrence at the garden, what with Kurugane, Fai, and Watanuki who all had the tendency to burst into screaming at random hours of the day.
But now, it was a different scream. A girl's scream.
"WHERE IS MY CAMERA?!"
Worse, it was Tomoyo's scream.
Watanuki immediately freaked out. The last time Tomoyo lost her camera… well, let's just say it was not pretty. It involved Fai, a pink Mokona and a green haired, very pissed off Kurogane.
Kurogane suddenly shuddered.
Mokona opened one eye. He suddenly felt afraid, very afraid.
Somewhere, somebody laughed sinisterly.
After Watanuki managed to calm Tomoyo down (Somewhat, because nobody could really calm down Tomoyo except her camera, whish was kinda scary), everyone started to search for the lost camera. Well, aside from Yuko, who had so much fun watching all of them running around like chickens with no head. More like some very-afraid-from-Tomoyo chickens.
"Ne, Tomoyo-Chan, are you sure you brought it with you today?"
Ah, little Sakura. The one person in the whole wide world (Once again, except Yuko) who wasn't afraid of a camera-less Tomoyo. Whatever it is because of bravery or pure obliviousness has yet to be discovered.
"Yes, Sakura-Chan, I'm sure!" wailed Tomoyo. The other kids hurried up their search, sensing the danger closing on them.
In the meanwhile, the twins, Syaoran and Syaoron watched everything happen with silence. Syaoran wanted to go help the search but his evil- I mean- overprotective twin didn't let him. After all, he didn't want his sweet little brother kidnapped by some evil, stealing-camera monster, didn't he?
Suddenly, a scream was heard from the other side of the room and diverted Syaoron's attention. There stood Kurogane, screaming like a banshee: "Where is my sword?!"
You see, the little wanabe ninja had one thing he would never part from, no matter what: his play sword, given to him by his father. He would eat with the sword, sleep with the sword, shower with the sword, and Fai could swear he once heard him talking to it, but it was never proven. In short, Kurogane treated it like a god.
So it wasn't a pretty sight when it was taken.
Syaoron sighed and nodded his head at the pathetic sight. Honestly, were there no real men in this garden aside from him?! The caretaker was a wimp, the blond was soooo stupid, and now the tough looking boy turned out to be a sissy woman. Syaoran wasn't a man either, but Syaoron didn't mind. After all, he would protect his little brother!
Turning back to said brother, he realized something was wrong. Very wrong,
Syaoran disappeared.
Sakura watched the room, searching. Where could Tomoyo-Chan's camera (Called Piffle for some strange reason) possibly be?! She searched the play area, the sleep area, the eating table and even Moko-Chan's cage! She couldn't find it anywhere!
Before she could try another approach ("If I were a camera, where would I be?") she was startled by a scream coming from our all time favorite chibi ninja.
Sakura's eyes widened. So now Kurogane-San's sword was gone?! What was going to be stolen next?!
A sudden killing intent coming from the back of the room stopped her from panicking. Someone whispered, but everyone could hear it: "Where. Is. My. Twin?"
The most frightening thing? It wasn't a scream.
'Shit shit shit shit!' was all that was going through Watanuki's head. First Tomoyo-Chan's camera, then Kurogane-Kun's sword and now Syaoran-Kun? No way. This was not happening.
While he rushed to Syaoron-Kun (who slightly creeped him out) he throw a glance to Yuko-San. 'What the HELL?! She is asleep?!' and indeed, his fearsome boss was sound asleep on the couch, still holding a bottle of Sake.
Watanuki sighed. It seemed like Yuko-San never changes. He wasn't sure if that was a bad thing or not.
Suddenly, he noticed something.
"Where is Fai-Kun?"
Everyone fell to silence. One by one they realized the blond was no where in sight, and by the lack of arguments in the past half hour, he wasn't there for a while. And nobody had a clue where he is.
Watanuki was sure he was going to have a heart attack. First the camera, then the sword and Syaoran-Kun, and now Fai-Kun.
He was sooooooo fired.
Sakura was very very worried. Where are Syaoran-Kun and Fai-San? They could be really hurt! What if they were injured, or worse, dead?! And once she heard Onii-Chan talking to Yuki-San about something even worse then death. They called it… rane? Rase? Rade? Oh! Right! Rape! But Otou-san refused to tell her what it is.
Sakura could feel the tears falling. And this day started so great! Yuki-San staid to sleep and although Sakura thought he and Onee-Chan were fighting (there were some really strange noises coming from their room!) they didn't and Yuki-San even cooked her pancakes! And then-
She was shaken out of her thoughts by a sound coming from her left side. There was Moko-Chan, out of his cage! And he… wanted her… to follow him?
Sakura silently followed him. He lead her to the door, through the corridor and into one of the rooms.
Too bad Sakura never watched a horror movie.
Moko-Chan was a very happy hamster. He got as much food as he wanted (and what delicious food it was! Watanuki-Chan was really talented), he had loooots of toys, and so many friends! There were Sakura-Chan, Fai, Kuro-pinpin, Tomoyo-Chan… and now the twins!
And so, Mokona was one happy hamster.
So when Tomoyo-Chan's camera was taken, he was understandably upset. Not only because she was his friend but more because he didn't want to be pink again. It didn't suit his purple eyes at all! But what could he do?! He didn't know who took these things!
From the corner of his eye Mokona noticed some movement. He looked closer and saw… was that Syaoran or Syaoron? 'Hmm, he looks sweet and innocent, so it's probably Syaoran-Kun' thought Mokona. He watched as Syaoran walked out the door and into the corridor.
He then noticed that the door of his cage was open. He could save Syaoran-Kun!
Quickly, he run from the cage into a new problem. You see, Mokona's cage was placed on a table. A very tall table, in Mokona's opinion. Who need such a tall table anyway?!
Mokona stopped to think (A very rare occurrence by the way). He couldn't jump off the table, but he couldn't just leave Syaoran-Kun alone! He then noticed that there was a blanket on the floor. Now he could jump and not die in the processes!
Mokona quickly jumped off and now he had another problem. Who would listen and follow him? Fai wasn't there, Kuro-Shinshin wouldn't listen and Tomoyo-Chan and Syaoron-Kun were scary!
Wait, there was Sakura-Chan! She would surely listen to him!
And indeed, Sakura listened and followed him. They walked out the door, through the corridor and into one of the side rooms, where Mokona could smell Syaoran-Kun.
What he saw made him wish he was a human so he could go `Awwww`.
On the other hand, if he was a human, he would die from a severe case of nose bleeding.
Sakura ran into the room. Watanuki immediately freaked out, thinking she was injured. "Sakura-Chan, are you okay?! Are you injured?! Did someone hurt you?!" the panicked care-taker screamed while flinging his arms.
"I'm fine Watanuki-San, really! I found everyone!" Sakura said in excitement, "Everyone is fine, it was just a misunderstanding!".
"Where is my brother?!" Syaoron immediately grabbed her and shaked her.
"Syaoron-Kun, please stop! You are hurting Sakura-Chan!" as much as Syaoron freaked Watatnuki out, he couldn't let him hurt Sakura-Chan. He stopped Syaoron and said to Sakura: "You can lead us to them, right Sakura-Chan?"
"Yes, of course" Sakura answered while nodding her head, "Follow me".
And once again, Sakura walked out the door, through the corridor and into one of the side rooms. Following her were Kurogane, Syaoron, Tomoyo and Watanuki, each of them searching for a sword, a twin, a camera, and sanity, in that order.
Although Watanuki will probably never get that wish. As a certain sleeping witch- arr, kindergarten teacher would say, the price was too great.
What they saw in the room was surprising, too say the least, There, in that dimly lit room stood Syaoran. If that was all, it wouldn't be surprising but Syaoran wore... a dress. A pink dress, with bow, and frills, and everything.
And before Syaoran stood Fai, holding Tomoyo-Chan's camera. He was standing there, grinning from ear to ear, picturing Syaoran. A dress-waring Syaoran.
Tomoyo-Chan immediately forgot about her anger and ran over to Syaoran squealing about how cute he was.
Sakura blinked and looked to the side. Even if she already saw it, she couldn't be live how cute he was!
Kurogane, as usual, begun to scream at Fai, about how "Perverted he was" and "You pedophile!" completely ignoring the fact that he shouldn't know these words, and that Fai couldn't possibly be a pedophile, because he was a child himself.
And Syaoron? Syaoron blinked. Once, twice, and when on the third time it became apparent that he wasn't dreaming, he immediately dragged his very cute twin outside. There is no way he would let those people see his little brother like this!
"Fai-Kun, if you only wanted to picture Syaoran-Kun, why did you take Kurogane-San's sword?" asked Watanuki, a little bit afraid of the answer. After all, this was Fai. Who knows what else he planned?
Fai eyes immediately watered. "Kuro-shnitzel is always playing with the sword and not with Fai-Chan! He likes the sword more then me! Whaaaa!" he started crying, while said 'Kuro-shnitzel' begun yelling because of the name and… was that a blush?
Watanuki sighed and went to wake Yuko up. Just another typical day at Tsubasa Kindergarden.
