Chapter 4: Ink Affairs and Treasure Hunts

It was about 6:30 in the morning, when it was still dark outside, that a terrible scream was heard.(yes, alot of things are happenin when it's dark out in this fic ;) )

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!"

The scream seemed to echo through the entire cottage, the entire country, and the entire world. Tomoyo, Meiling and Sakura rushed into Syaoran's bedroom, only to see him on the ground turned the other way.

"W-what's wrong, Syaoran?" Meiling asked.

"Y-you all knew about this. Didn't you? THIS IS A DISGRACE!!!!" Syaorans stuttered as he turned around and pointed to all of the doodles and messages on his skin. "When did it happen? WHO DID IT?!"

The three girls backed away slowly before replying. "W-well, it was on the busride here...and it was everyone on the bus...but d-don't worry Syaoran! It's a w-washable m-m-marker..." said Meiling uneasily.

"IT HAD BETTER BE!" screamed Syaoran before running into the bathroom. Soon, the shower was heard. The three girls looked at eachother before proceeding to get some more sleep.


The sun shone throughout the entire cottage area, making it the perfect day for a treasure hunt. The sky was clear and cloud-free and everything seemed peaceful.

Meiling, Tomoyo and Sakura were playing wii about an hour later after the big incident. All three were fully dressed and ready for the day's challanges. Now, they were simply waiting for Syaoran. He had come out of the shower half-an-hour ago and was currently locked in his room. Sakura had already tried to enter and in result, go about 15 items thrown at her(including a teddy bear, a book, and a Naruto wall scroll). Since then, Nobody had tried going within a 2 meter radius of the door.

Finally, a click was heard. All three girls turned around to see Syaoran, fully dressed and ink free.He gave a small smile, signalling them that he was not mad and walked over to join them in their wii game.

After Sakura had won against everyone in tennis, they decided that it was time to go have breakfast. Silently, they headed off towards the dinning hall.


By the time the four had gotten to their destination, the place was already half packed with familiar faces. Sakura, Syaoran, Tomoyo and Meiling sat at a four-person table. Once again, on each table, there was lots of food. So as soon as they sat down, they started piling their plates with food.

Tomoyo looked around the table and realized that it was a bit too quiet. Suddenly, an idea hit her.

"Hey Meiling, do you know where the bathrooms are in here?" Tomoyo asked, standing up and winking at her.

"Uh, no I don't" replied Meiling simply, not getting the hint at all.

"Oh. Well, could you come with me to ask Ms. Mizuki?" Tomoyo tried her wink again.

"Um, couldn't you just wait until we get back to the cottage?" replied Meiling again, still not getting the hint.

Tomoyo sighed and decided to give up. She would have to fill Meiling in later. So once again, the table was silent as everyone ate(except for Meiling, who was enjoying her food so much, that she was eating super fast, in turn, making so much noise that other kids from other tables were turning around to stare).

When breakfast was over, Ms. Mizuki stood up. "Okay everyone! We're goin to start the treasure hunt now! First up, you should go back to your cottages and gather all of the items you think you will need for this. This treasure hunt is a contest and you will not want to waste time later to get supplies. You will need to wear your bathing suits under your clothes. You will need a flashlight, a pen, a paper and anything else that you think you might need. Think wisely. You don't want to pack too much or too little. Now, go get your stuff and meet at the forest clearing."


"Ooooohhhh! This is going to be fun!" exclaimed Sakura and Meiling in unison when they all got back to their cottage. Sakura and Meiling had changed and packed the fastest in their excitement and were sitting in the living room. Sakura was wearing an outfit designed by Tomoyo. It was a pink skort that came to her knees and a white tank top with a pink outline. Her hair was up normally but two long pink ribbons replaced her usual ties. Meiling was wearing a dark blue T-shirt and white jeans shorts.

"You bet!" Tomoyo said as she came out of her room with her backpack on her back. She was wearing a dark blue skort with a matching blue T-shirt with a white star on it. She also had a blue hat on and was holding her camera in her right hand. "This is going to be a great video! 'The treasure hunt adventure!' "

"Has everyone got everything they need?" Syaoran asked as he came out of his own room. He was wearing a pair of cargo shorts and a green T-shirt.

"Oh, um, I forgot to pack a flashlight. Can I share with someone?" asked Sakura.

"Um sure! You can share with me when we need i-" Tomoyo said while looking for her flashlight. She suddenly stopped. "Oh! I guess I forgot mine too!"

"Oh! You can share with me, Tomoyo!" Meiling sang happily as she eyed Sakura and Syaoran. "Don't worry Sakura, Syaoran will share his flashlight with you!"

Syaoran froze. "U-um, yeah. Sure."

"Thanks Li-kun!" Sakura said happily as she checked her bag once more.


Everyone arrived at the forest clearin at about the same time and Ms. Mizuki signaled for them to sit down.

"Alright everyone! Here's how it goes, In total, there are 10 stations. Each team will start at a different station. At each station, there will be a task in which you must complete. Once that task is completed, you shall recieve a clue to where the next station is. When you have finished all 10 stations, come back here and I will give you the final clue. This clue is the hardest. But once solved, it will lead you to the treasure's location. Once you have found the treasure, bring it back here before opening it and then we shall make an announcement for everyone to come back. Remember, you must have all of the clues completed to get the final clue."

With that, Ms. Mizuki started to hand out the first clue to each team. Sakura looked at her's.

"Well, we got clue #1. It says, On a hot day, people come to me to play. When the sun sets, two lovers have met. The coldest place is in the blue, but getting burned here is nothing new." Sakura read the clue out loud. She turned to face the other who seemed to be thinking.

"Oh! I know! The Ice-cream shop! Everyone oes there when it's hot because there's air-conditioning and ice-cream and lovers meet there to share icecream!" exclaimed Meiling, hoping that she had helped.

"But what about the blue part? You can't get burned in an ice-cream shop." stated Sakura.

"It's obvious that it's the beach." said Syaoran as he looked at both girls. "On a hot day, people go there to swim and cool off. People also go there to watch sunsets. People swim to cool off but if you stay in the sun fo too long, then you get sun burnt."

Soon, they all agreed on this answer and headed for the beach.


On the beach, the four managed to see a man standing there.

"Hello!" he greeted. "Welcome to station 1. Here, the point of this is to swim to the flag over there, and dive down to grab one of the flags. Only grab one because there are other teams as well! Then, come back with the flag. Then, you can keep the flag with you as proof that you did it and get the next clue.

After alot of debating, Syaoran was finally picked to be the swimmer. He swam as fast as he could to the flag and dove down as the girls cheered from shore. It took a few minutes for Syaoran to come up to the surface. Quickly, he swam back to shore, with a pink flag in hand. As soon as he got to shore, he walked past everyone, ignoring their 'congrats' and fell to the ground on his knees.

"You did great, Syaoran!" Sakura smiled as she passed him his towel. He accepted it and handed her the flag without a word. After everyone ws ready, Tomoyo grabbed the clue and walked over to everyone else.

"For this next clue, there's no need to go far. But to go far into this place is a bit bizzare. To complete this task, you must go through, a dark place with rumors that might be true. Keep track of who's with you, and who is not. Cause the amount of people who get lost, there's truely alot." Tomoyo read.

"Look over there! There's a cave! It says we don't have to go far!" Sakura exclaimed pointin to the cave that was not to far from where they currently were.

"Then let's go!" Meiling exclaimed as she grabbed Tomoyo's and Sakura's hand and started to run. Luckily, out of reflexes, Sakura managed to grab onto Syaoran just before Meiling took off.


"I-it sure looks dark in there..." Sakura gulped as she looked into the darkness. She couldn't see anything inside, which was kind of strange for a bright sunny day like today.

"Yay! Let's go!" Meiling exclaimed as she made to run again. This time, Syaoran held her back.

"Remember what the riddle said. People get lost in here. We have to stay together."

So they made the arrangement that they would all link arms. The arrangement was, Syaoran, Sakura, Tomoyo, Meilin. Both Meiling and Syaoran had flashlight so on either side, there was light. As they proceeded through the cave, they soon realized that the whole place was a maze. And it seemed to never end. Finally, they came to the exit.

"Yay! We made it!" Tomoyo said with a sigh of relief. But just as they were about to exit, a sound was heard beside them in the cave. The four of them turned around to see the glowing girl standing there.

"THE CARD!"


Me: Oooooh! Cliffy:) Looks like you all have to wait until the next chapter to find out what happens!!!

Syaoran: Can't you just make the chapter longer by just not stopping?

Me: Meh. It's late. I'm tired of writing. And I wouldn't be talkin if I were you. Do you WANT to have a romantic moment with Sakura?

Syaoran: Uh-um! Well...

Me: :) That's what I thought! Anyways, review everyone!
