Chapter Two: Surprise!

"Another day, another adventure at work." I yelled out to my brother in the kitchen. "Touya, I'm off!"

"Don't scare the children, monster," I heard him yell back.

I muttered to myself, irritated. "Honestly, why won't he just move out?" I put on my skates and was gone. As I skated down the street I gazed up at the sky. Really, it's so easy to space out looking up there like that. That's probably why I wounded up bumping into someone and falling down on my behind.

"Owww…" I sat there in pain when I heard someone chuckle. I looked up to see my best friend Syaoran Li staring down at me.

"You are such a klutz. You ought to walk around with a big sign on you to warn people." He held out his hand to help me up.

I accepted it but replied with a simple, "Shut up." We both started on our way again to work. Syaoran on his skateboard and me with my skates. We were a bit silent for a while until I spoke up. "So, Syaoran, are you ready for another day of swimming lessons with the kids."

"What I'm looking forward to is the lies Takashi is going to tell today. Some of those kids are so gullible. Like the time when he told Rika the pool would open up and swallow her whole if she used a kicking board. She wouldn't go in for a week."

I huffed. That's what he looked forward too? "That's mean. You're supposed to be helping him break out of his lying habit. Besides, Chiharu always beats him up whenever he tells one."

Syaoran turned to face me for a brief moment. "And yet, you don't stop Chiharu whenever she beats the poor kid silly. You call me mean?" He waves at a few random people in the area.

I rolled my eyes. "As far as I'm concerned, he deserves what he gets. Anyone who could tell a little girl that if water gets near their nose, the water would mess up their brains needs a good beating. She's practically doing my job for me."

"Okay…you got a point there." Syaoran smiled. "But you have to admit though. His lies can be quite hilarious at times."

"Whatever." It has been three weeks since we first started working at that music school and we're having a lot of fun. Sure, we do have our challenging moments. Like the time when we found Rika hiding in the bathroom after hearing one of Takashi's lies…and how I had to pull Chiharu off of him to stop her from beating him dead. Or the time when one of the others boys decided to see what would happen if they dropped Syaoran's cell phone in the pool…now that was funny.

So, where was I again? Oh yeah, we were on our way to work when…

"Hey, Sakura, check out this new trick I learned. I think I've almost got it down." I watched as he jumped on a bench in front of him while the skateboard was rolling on the ground. He ran on the edge of the bench and then tried to land back on the skateboard…tried being the keyword.

Next thing I knew there was a loud crash and there were three people on the scene. Syaoran on the ground and two other guys I'd never seen before. One just happened to be on the ground as well. I faced Syaoran. "I'd say you need some more practice. Are you okay?"

Syaoran sat there rubbing his behind. "I'm okay, Sakura. No need to worry about me." He opened his eyes to see the guy on the ground rubbing his own head in pain. He stood up and held out his hand to the guy. "I'm sorry; I guess I should pay more attention to where I'm going."

That's when I got a good look at the guy on the ground. He had short, red hair and looked about our age. He was wearing baggy pants with pockets and zippers all over it and a black shirt. What I love is his eyes though. They're half red and half black…seriously, how cool is that? Uh oh…I took a good look at the situation and noticed just how angry his eyes looked.

The guy knocked his hand away. "Just watch where ya going next time, you klutz." He stood up and brushed himself off.

Syaoran's eyes squinted into a glare. "What was that?"

I watched as the guy smirked. "You heard me. Or are you deaf too?"

I could practically predict where this was going. "Umm…Syaoran…"

Of course, you know such a feeble attempt at calling him would do nothing, right? "You better shut up now."

"Or else what? What could you possibly do to me?" The guy crossed his arms and kept the same smirk as before. If I didn't know better, I'd say this guy was enjoying this.

I frowned when I saw Syaoran grab him by his shirt and nearly growled. "Do you want to find out?"

That's when I finally decided to speak up. "Okay, time for this to end! This is getting stupid. Syaoran lay off."

Syaoran gave me an irritated look. "But, Sakura…" I glared at him to show I was serious and he finally sighed and let the guy go.

The red haired guy smiled. "It's sad to see that your girlfriend can command you like that." A small blush came to my cheeks at the word girlfriend. Honestly, do we really look like a couple to everyone? Why can't we just be friends?

I could practically see Syaoran ready to ignore what I had just said and knock him out, but before he could do anything, someone else spoke up. "Kyou, that's enough. Leave them alone. He did apologize at first." I turned to see the other guy speaking to the one he had just called Kyou. He was so quiet; I didn't even remember he was there.

His hair was cut short as well but it was black. He was wearing blue jeans and a white shirt. He looked the same age as us and his eyes were a normal colour: brown. He seemed a lot calmer than Kyou did.

Kyou looked at the guy and then back at Syaoran until finally he just waved it off. "Whatever. I ought to get going anyway. We've wasted enough time here with this joke."

Syaoran glared again. "What was that?"

Kyou picked up a guitar case and skateboard…weird…why did I never notice he had a guitar before…oh well. He smirked again. "I'm not repeating that again." He stepped on his skateboard and started skating off.

The other guy turned to us apologetically. "Please forgive my brother; he can be like that at times." We watched as he too got on a skateboard and skated off, waving to us.

They left and I stared at the spot where they just stood. "Well…that was interesting…"

Syaoran huffed. "I'd feel better if I never saw that guy again."

I rolled my eyes. "Come on, we'll really be late for sure if we don't get going."

We arrived at the school at eight thirty…just in time. Tomoyo was in the main room waiting for us. "Guys, you made it just in time. You're normally earlier than this. What happened?"

Syaoran threw his skateboard unceremoniously by the door. "I had an encounter with the devil himself."

Tomoyo looked at me confused and I shook my head. "Long story Tomoyo. I'll tell you about it later."

Tomoyo nodded and smiled. "Okay then. I want you two to meet some people."

Syaoran looked at her curiously. "New people?"

Tomoyo nodded. "They started working here as of today. I hope you guys can be great friends. They seem really nice." She led us into another room and I couldn't believe what I saw.

Eriol was there talking to the new guys but that wasn't what was so surprising about it. What was surprising about is was…

"You again?" I sighed. So, Syaoran has noticed as well…this isn't going to be good.

Kyou stood up and smiled. "So, we meet again. Didn't think it would be so soon."

The other guy stood up as well. "Hello again."

Tomoyo and Eriol looked at us slightly amused. "Have you met before?"

Syaoran frowned. "Yes, it's the devil again."

"Ah, what a cruel thing to say about me." Kyou smirked. "Now that we're going to be coworkers, I think we should try to get along, don't you?"

Syaoran growled. "Shut up."

I shook my head at the two. "This is gonna be a long summer…"

A/N: Surprised? Well, so am I. I didn't think I'd be continuing this one shot as a story but I just started typing and this came up. I hope this is worth it and that you guys enjoy it. Don't worry; I'm working on The Storyteller right now. Also, would you please read Crying Into Existence if you have the chance? It's my first time writing angst and any constructive criticism would be useful. I have also just created a poll and I would appreciate it if you would vote please. That's it for now I guess, until next time, please R&R.
