"Why are we here again

"Why are we here again?" asked Syaoran. They were currently riding the elevator to the Wynters' penthouse.

"Because we need to get away from everything," replied Eriol absently as he flicked through a book, Twilight, that he held in his hands.

"Yeah, paparazzi have been everywhere since the news show." Sakura groaned. It had been annoying, when she couldn't even go out to get her sweets without her being photographed and showing up in the newspaper. "I didn't refresh my sweets either…"

"And I wasn't able to personally get the fabric I wanted to make Sakura's cosplay costumes!"

"You cosplay?" Syaoran laughed.

"Shut up."

"Whoa, I expected worse." Syaoran faked a surprised look.

"It's because she hasn't had her daily dose of sweets." Eriol flipped a page in his book.

"Smart." Tomoyo leaned against the elevator wall. "God, this ride is long."

"Agreed."

"We're here," announced Tomoyo as they stepped out of the elevator and walked to the door labeled 'Wynter Residence.' Tomoyo had a sudden thought. "Uh…it's probably too late but shouldn't we have called ahead?"

They stopped mid-stride. "I think they won't mind…"

"We don't mind," smiled Rei. The group was sitting in the living room in the penthouse. Sakura, Syaoran, and Eriol were on the couch, Rei on a huge beanbag, and Tomoyo lounged on the chaise.

"Have some tea and cookies while we wait for lunch." Reyna walked out the kitchen with a tray in her hands. She placed the tray on the coffee table and sat down next to Tomoyo. "Hope you like it."

Tomoyo sipped her tea. "Mmmm is this blue mallow tea?"

Reyna's ears perked up. "Yeah! It turns blue the minute you put it in, that's why I poured it in clear glass cups, and if you wait a while-"

"-it turns to purple!" Tomoyo and Reyna said together.

"Hmm…vampires aren't godly beautiful since we've never proven that they're real…" muttered Eriol as everyone stared at him. He stared back. "What?"

"Oh nothing." Tomoyo shrugged. "It's just that…Twilight's a book about romance…"

"I never expected you to read a romance," teased Sakura as she bit into a cookie. "Yum, these are good!"

"Thanks," smiled Reyna. "There's a movie for Twilight coming out in December. Shall we go watch it?"

"Sure!" agreed Tomoyo. Sakura and Syaoran nodded, and Eriol just muttered.

"Here, you guys go into the dining room while I bring lunch." Reyna stood up and went into the kitchen as the group followed Rei into the dining room. She brought out a few dishes and told them what they were having.

"Today's lunch is sesame noodles with shredded carrots, red and yellow peppers; mandarin chicken with mandarin sauce; salad with bread; spinach mozzarella ravioli; and for drinks, strawberry frescos!" Reyna told them with a flourish. "And for dessert…that's a secret."

Sakura groaned as Syaoran laughed at her. Tomoyo noticed something and looked. "Why are there two extra plates?"

Reyna smiled mysteriously. "You'll see."

Fergie's 'Big Girls Don't Cry' suddenly went on and they looked around. Reyna laughed and apologized. "Sorry that's just the phone, lemme go get it."

"Moshi moshi? Hai, this is Reyna. Oh. When are you guys coming?" they heard Reyna ask. "You're not coming?!"

"That's because we're already here!" called a voice at the door. They all jumped up and ran to look. A guy with hair longer than a usual boy's stood there, holding onto a few suitcases and a cell phone. He flipped it shut and smirked at them. ("For some reason, he reminds me of Eriol," whispered Sakura into Tomoyo's ear. She nodded. "It's the smirk.") "Hey Rei, Reyna, and all of the strangers."

"God Zane, you could help here!" a girl's voice yelled at him. A girl that looked like him stood there, arms full of bags. "Oh, hi."

"Maika, Zane!" Reyna grinned. "You guys came in time for lunch."

"Yeah but we still have like, a boatload of stuff," said Zane as he peeked into the hall.

Tomoyo smiled. "No worries whoever you are. Rei, Syaoran, and Eriol can take of them."

"Why?" whined Syaoran.

Tomoyo turned to glare at him full force. He flinched and obeyed. "Yes ma'am."

She hummed happily as she watched the guys take in all the stuff that they had brought. She didn't stop humming until she took a bite to eat, which then her face broke into a smile. "Delish!"

Reyna gave her a quick smile. "Thank you."

"So how'd ya know they were coming?" asked Syaoran, face stuffed with all the food.

"I'm a dream seer." Reyna drank some fresco. "Don't speak with your mouth full."

"Dream seers are really rare," commented Eriol lazily as he played with his food.

"Thanks…I guess?"

"You're welcome." Eriol ate the noodles.

"Well, I'm done for now," said Reyna and she stood up. "Tomoyo, I heard you're good at baking. Wanna join me?"

"Sure!" Tomoyo jumped up from her chair and followed Reyna to the kitchen.

"Mmm, the chicken is sooo good!" sighed Sakura happily as she ate more.

"If I see that all the salad is still there, y'all gonna get hurt!" Reyna shouted from the kitchen. They all winced, and dove for the salad bowl.

"They eat a lot." Tomoyo tied an apron around her neck to help with the cooking. Reyna looked up from getting the ramekins and smiled. "Guess so. Hey, can you put this bracelet on the countertop? Thanks."

Reyna handed it to Tomoyo, and she brushed her hand accidentally against the gem on it. Instantly, her head was filled with images.

Tomoyo could see herself thrusting a sword into someone's body, up to the hilt. She drew it out and blood dripped from it. The person fell, dying. When she turned to stare at Tomoyo, what scared her most wasn't that she was spotted.

What scared her was that her face was cold. Emotionless, even the eyes. She took a step-

Tomoyo jerked, and her hand fell from the stone. She looked around, looking for blood. What she saw was a state-of-the-art kitchen and Reyna staring at her strangely. "Are you okay?"

Tomoyo forced a small smile onto her face. "Yeah…"

Reyna's face was doubtful. "If you say so…let's make molten center choco cakes!"

"With ice cream!"

"Nice job partner!"

"So what are you gonna do?" Zane stood behind Reyna, who was standing in front of a painting. It was late, and everyone else was asleep. Zane was dressed in a loose long-sleeve and pants, while Reyna was in a simple, almost floor-length dress, with a long, thin shawl on her arms.

"What do you mean?" She stared at the painting. Three people, two females and one male, were in it, dressed in loose white clothes, with purple lines on them. One female and the male could have been identical, if the woman's hair hadn't been long enough to reach the ground. The other woman was different. She had dark hair and a pleasant smile on her face.

"I mean, I know everything," Zane shrugged. "But is it really worth it? Doing this?"

"A strong enemy is rising…" She reached her hand up and touched the painting with a slender finger. "So yes…"

"When can I call you by your real name?" Zane leaned on the wall, arms crossed.

Reyna smirked. "When indeed…"

"Even dyed with blood, Creators still manage to remain pure." Zane's smile was smug and he turned, walking back to his room. "Is it because you people 'created' us? Or is it because you guys are the 'first?'"

Reyna heard the door closed, and answered quietly. "No…it's because we throw everything away, for the happiness of others…even if it means our own happiness…love is cruel…"

She leaned on the painting, tears under her eyelids. "If only you guys were with me…like we were centuries ago…"

Reyna's mind flew back to that day. The day they had met the guy that had ultimately been the death of the Creators.

Clow Reed.


Now it's kinda obvious who the Creators are right? This was mostly a filler so not that much info, but the next one will probably have a lot. And everyone please review! Also check out my other two stories! (Yeah, started 2 other stories and not even finished with the first one)

Thanks!
