words. Pretty please?
Anyway, I'm gonna keep writing anyway, cuz I think this story is really cute, and I really enjoy writing it, which is really the only important thing. I'm sure my co-author Star agrees too. Still, we'd definitely welcome your opinions.
Well, here's chapter 4. Hope ya'll enjoy it!^^
Disclaimer: Me and Star don't own any of the CCS characters or ideas, but we do have rights to our own characters, such as Hoshi and Masaya. (A/N: In case you guys haven't guessed yet, Hoshi is Star Cherry and Masaya is me.)
....................................
"Hey! Look! There's pony rides over there! Can I ride a pony? Please?!" Aiko begged, stuffing her cute little face with cotton candy.
Hoshi nodded and smiled. "Sure, why don't you run ahead and give the guy your tokens, okay? Me and Masaya will watch from the side."
Aiko smiled happily. "Thankyouthankyouthankyou!" she shouted excitedly, handing her cotton candy to Masaya before running off, careful not to get her new outfit dirty. Tomoyo had outfitted her with a pink plaited skirt and a short, sky blue sleeveless top with a pink collar, as well as a pair of blue and white sandals.
Masaya and Hoshi slowed down so they could talk while they watched the man help Aiko onto a cute little black Shetland pony.
"Did you have the same dream?" Hoshi asked, continuing their conversation from earlier that morning. She was wearing a long, green skirt that covered part of her purple sandals that matched her long sleeved purple blouse with blue embroidery outlining a design of a large blue carnation. Her hair was done up into two long braids with two strands hanging down in front of her face.
Masaya nodded with a mouthful of pink cotton candy in her mouth. Her golden hair was up into a high ponytail, and she wore a pale green tank top with a pair of tight blue jeans and black boots. She also wore a small, yellow pouch purse on her arm to carry their stuff.
After she'd swallowed, Masaya continued, "Yeah. But only the statue part, I didn't see Aiko's mother trying to save her. But, then again, you were always more in tune with your visions than me."
"Maybe so..still, it's kinda weird, you and I almost always have the same visions. The only difference is that sometimes I see them in more detail, that's all." Hoshi said.
Masaya shrugged. "Who knows? Maybe that angel who seems to keep appearing in our visions only wanted you to see it."
Hoshi looked at her. "You think the angel has something to do with it?"
"Well, think about it, she always appears in our visions. Doesn't that seem weird to you?"
Hoshi sighed, sitting on a brown bench and sipping her Coke while she watched Aiko. "Maybe. And what about those two guys who attacked us? Who were they?"
Masaya sat down next to her, pulling a strand of hair out of her face. " I looked up the guys name in my laptop, as well as his description. Apparently his name is Rod Sauchira. He's an old mercenary on the wanted list for robbery and suspected murder. He's a man for hire, usually older guys hire them to do hit jobs for them, so he must have been hired by somebody who doesn't want us alive to get rid of us."
Hoshi sighed. "Do we know who that is yet?"
"Nope, not yet. But his last employer was a woman by the name Li Yelan. Didn't Sakura say that her friend's name was Li Syaoran?"
"Oh yeah! She did say that. I wonder why his mom hired a hit man.."
"Think we should ask Sakura about it?"
"Yeah, probably. I don't want that guy attacking us while Aiko's around again."
Masaya nodded. "And I want to find out who this guy is anyway, especially since he's always with Sakura in most of our visions."
Hoshi smiled suddenly. "I have an idea. Tomoyo is always talking about how Sakura and Syaoran had a crush for each other and how kawaii it was, right?"
Masaya nodded.
"Well," Hoshi continued, "why don't we invite him and that cousin of his over, as a surprise for Sakura's birthday next week? That way we can finally meet him and maybe we can find out about this mercenary from him or his mother."
Masaya smiled. "Great idea! We can pool our money together for plane tickets. I didn't know what to get Sakura anyway.."
Before they could continue, Aiko ran over.
"Did you see me? Did you see me?" she asked happily. The two girls nodded and grinned. Masaya handed her cotton candy back to her.
"Hey, you ate some of it!" Aiko accused.
Masaya stuck out her tongue before running off. "Bet you can't catch me," she yelled.
Hoshi and Aiko ran after her, weaving through the crowds at the busy carnival.
....................................
"What does he look like again?" Masaya asked worriedly, searching the crowd of people swarming out of the gate at the airport.
"Chocolate brown hair and amber eyes" Tomoyo said, filming the two girls as they searched in vain for Sakura's birthday present.
"and a horrible attitude" Eriol added, grinning.
"as if I could have anything else around you" a voice grunted from behind them.
Masaya, Hoshi, Tomoyo, and Eriol jumped. They turned around only to see a very handsome teenager with amber eyes and messy brown hair glaring at them. A girl with ruby eyes and long black hair tied into two buns on her head just like Hoshi's pushed past him, hugging Tomoyo.
"It's so good to see you again, Miss Daidouji!" Mei Lin said happily.
Tomoyo smiled too. "You too, Mei Lin. How have you guys been in China?"
"Fine. Syaoran's had a lot to do lately with the clan and all, but they let us have a break for a couple of weeks to come over here." Mei Lin suddenly noticed the two girls behind Tomoyo and Eriol. "And who are you?"
"I'm Hoshi, and this is Masaya." Hoshi answered, holding out her hand.
Mei Lin shook it, but before she could react, Syaoran noticed the two girls.
"You guys have auras" he said suspiciously.
Masaya nodded. "Uh, yeah, well..we kinda have our own magic powers, sorta.."
"Well, should we go get your luggage?" Tomoyo asked, trying to change the subject.
"Oh, wait, we're still waiting for our friends." Mei Lin answered.
"Friends? What friends? We only sent you guys enough for two plane tickets." Hoshi said.
Mei Lin smiled. "yeah, but two of our friends from China wanted to come, so they bought their own tickets. I hope that was okay, Tomoyo said she had extra room at her mother's mansion."
Masaya smiled. "It's okay with us."
"They're coming now." Syaoran said, turning back towards the gate. "Hey! Hiroki! Satoshi! Hurry up!"
"We're coming already!" they heard. Suddenly a boy about their age shoved his way out of the crowd towards them. "Sorry, I got caught up in the crowd. I've never seen this many people at an airport before." He caught sight of Hoshi as he headed towards them and smiled.
Hoshi blushed. The young man had reddish brown hair and amber eyes with a tint of green. He stepped forward and smiled. "And you are?" he asked politely.
"Uh, Hoshi." She managed to say, her face burning red.
"Hiroki, where's Satoshi? Wasn't he right behind you?" Syaoran asked.
Hiroki turned back toward Syaoran. "Yeah, but you know him, he's always messing around. He left his bag on the plane and had to go back."
Hoshi thought for a moment. 'Satoshi, it couldn't be...'
Flashback
"Satoshi! Give it back! Mommy gave me that necklace!!" a miniature Hoshi cried.
Her brother Satoshi held the necklace up above her head, swinging it around tauntingly.
"You'll never get it" he teased.
Hoshi clenched her fists. "Give it back!!" she yelled, kicking her brother in the knee.
"Itai!!" he yelled as he dropped the necklace on the ground.
Hoshi gladly picked the necklace up, slipped it around her neck, and stuck her tongue out at him as she stalked away.
"Stupid sister.." He grumbled.
end of Flashback
'Nah, it couldn't be. Satoshi left to go to school in Hong Kong three years ago.' She thought, immediately dismissing the idea that her twin brother could be the other friend.
"Where is he?" Mei Lin asked impatiently, tapping her foot.
After a few minutes, Masaya volunteered to go help him. She walked over to the gate, about to board the plane to see if he was still on there when she bumped into a guy with dark green hair and purple eyes.
"Oh, sorry, I didn't mean to." She apologized, blushing.
"It's okay, it was my fault anyway. Did you see a guy with pale blue hair anywhere? I think I lost him.."
Masaya looked at him. "You mean Hiroki? Are you Satoshi?"
Satoshi nodded, surprised. "Uh, yeah, that's me. And you are?"
"Oh, I'm Tosuke Masaya. I'm friends with Tomoyo, the person you guys are staying with."
He smiled. "Nice to meet you, so do you know where they are, then?"
Masaya smiled back. "yeah, they're just around this corner..."
As soon as they turned the corner, Satoshi and Hoshi spotted each other. Each of them pointed at the other and yelled, "YOU!!"
"What are you doing here?!" Hoshi yelled.
"I could ask you the same question" Satoshi replied.
Masaya sweatdropped. "Do you guys know each other?"
They both looked at her. Hoshi answered, "yeah, he's my twin brother."
Tomoyo immediately brought out her camera. "No wonder you two look alike!"
"Come on, guys, we'd better go and get their luggage." Eriol headed over to the baggage claim.
The entire way over the Sonomi's mansion, Hoshi and Satoshi glared at each other.
"This is going to be so interesting!" Tomoyo squealed excitedly.
Everyone except Eriol groaned.
.......................................
" I can't believe my stupid brother is here." Hoshi muttered, watching as Satoshi, Hiroki, Syaoran, and Eriol headed off.
"He seemed pretty nice to me." Masaya said.
Tomoyo whipped out her camera and started filming the two of them.
"Ah, does Masaya have a little crush?" Mei Lin teased.
Masaya blushed before pointing at Hoshi, trying to get the spotlight off of her. "What about Hoshi? She seemed to like that Hiroki guy a lot."
Now Hoshi's face turned bright red. "I do not!" she denied.
Tomoyo laughed. "But you two are so cute together!"
Hoshi smiled evily. "And what about you and Eriol?"
Now Tomoyo blushed. Mei Lin laughed.
"We'll see you guys later, we've got to go pick Aiko up from Sakura's place" Masaya said, standing up.
"Okay, we'll see you guys tomorrow at the mall, right? Bring Aiko with you, k?" Tomoyo asked.
"Okay" the two girls answered before waving goodbye and heading back to their dorm.
....................................
That night,..
Syaoran was running down a dark street. He couldn't find Sakura anywhere.
"SAKURA! SAKURA!" he yelled, trying desperately to find her.
Suddenly an angel appeared in front of him.
"Find the maidens of sun and moon" she said.
Then the angel disappeared and those two girls he'd met earlier, Masaya and Hoshi, appeared in front of him.
They looked at him before a bright light encircled them. Suddenly the darkness consumed the area around them, and the two girls fell to the ground.
Syaoran looked down, and a small necklace with a red ruby appeared in his hand. A little girl with brown hair and pink bangs looked up at him sadly.
"Help me" she said before she disappeared.
Abruptly, Syaoran woke up. He sat up in his bed, wiping the sweat from his brow.
'What was that?' he thought to himself.
