The day I own CCS will also be the day I rule the world so that way I can specifically make it so I own CCS and nobody else. Any OCs...MINE! DON'T TOUCH!
I'm tired.
Enjoy.
Blink.
You were floating on thin air. Well, not really, but right now it felt as though you were on an everlasting high and did not want to come down at all. Right now, you were walking on a cloud; the soft cool substance touched the soles of your feet making you relax…
You could hear muted voices somewhere on your far right; you treaded forward cautiously, carefully, carefully, not making one pin-drop of sound on the woolly matted "floor" beneath you. The voices were getting closer now, you could almost make out what they were whispering, carefully poking your head out to catch the noise, the first thing you saw were cold yet mischievous emerald green eyes that were widened with the shock of seeing you there. They were oddly familiar to you, you could almost figure out to whom they belonged to…
"BRRRRRRRRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" the shrill high-pitched bell of your alarm clock rang, instinctively, your hand shot out from beneath the covers to shut the alarm clock up, and you rolled over trying to get more sleep, until your mother had something to say about it…
"HANAYARU WAKE UP!" your mother shouted while barging into the room and jumping on your bed, effectively making you quite awake, alert, and paranoid. Rolling off your bed quickly before it broke with the added weight of your mother, you grumbled incoherently while rising and walking towards your washroom to perform your daily morning rituals. Carefully selecting blue contact lenses for the day, you went out of your washroom ready to face the day, or at least you hoped so.
"I woke up at six?" you thought as you looked at the clock on the bedside table. "What on earth is wrong with me?"
On the bus you were lucky enough to get a seat and you silently relished in this little fact during the whole crowded and uneventful bus trip, pushing a few people out of the way while trying to get out of the bus, you hopped onto the busy street, amazed to see a familiar black head with her eyebrows scrunched in frustration.
"Mei-mei-san," you called out to her, and almost immediately her head whipped around, her long hair swirling around her before her eyes widened in surprise.
"O-nay-jiang!" she shouted back in greeting. "I didn't know that you had to set up the classroom today!"
Bewildered at this statement, you corrected her, you told her that you did not have to set up the classroom, but you were willing to help if she needed, overjoyed at this aspect, and saying something along the lines of, "This should go twice as fast now!" while half-dragging you behind to the classroom. True to her prediction, the two of you finished the classroom chores were done in approximately ten minutes.
"Yatta!" Wong-san cheered after she had convinced you to go outside. "Sun. Lovely, lovely sun. Oh Mr. Sun, sun, Mr. Golden Sun. Please shine down on me" twirling around and dancing in a circle with her black hair bellowing around her, she looked so free and happy in your eyes, you could not help but smile.
"Please come out so we can – AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Wong-san screamed while the ground shook underneath the two of you and two monstrous clawed purple hands sprang up from the ground to grab your beloved friend.
"Wong-san!" you yelled over her scream though her voice was breaking and steadily growing weaker. Picking up a pipe from the ground you charged at the monstrous hand only to have a hand shoot up from the ground and wrap its enormous fingers around your waist. The rumbling of the earth never stopped, a gaping hole with jagged spikes slowly emerged from the ground, you then realized it was a mouth, and for some reason you were calm about the fact that there was a big gaping mouth in front of you about to eat your friend and yourself. Slowly, the gigantic fingers were wrapping themselves around your body slowly squeezing the air out of your lungs. Black spots started to appear in your vision, but you refused to pass, you did not want to, Wong-san was still in danger…
"Let…me…GO!" you screamed daring the hand to defy you, and to your surprise, the hand's fingers snapped back suddenly and you fell plummeting through the air while the wonderful view of the ground came rushing up towards you. A string of curses flew through your head while you closed your eyes expecting the impact of the ground tear through your small body. However, that feeling never came, the only thing that you could feel was the rush of the wind through you hair, and two strong arms wrapped around your body making sure that you would not fall to the ominous ground. Slowly, you opened your eyes to see a handsome face with light blue eyes looking back at you, bewildered, you found yourself staring at the man's eyes specifically, seeing as they were so familiar…
"Stay here," his voice had a soothing quality to it, and you almost sighed when hearing it. Placing you carefully near the entrance of the school, he quickly flew off.
Wait, flew?
You rubbed your eyes vigorously, you had to be seeing things, but the image of his snowy-white wings did not fade. Flying forwards, his arm glowing a light blue before slicing the hand that held your sister captive. A horrible screech emitted from the "mouth" of the monster while the hand that was wrapped around your sister disintegrated and the angel caught her, her eyes were still closed, and her breathing was slow and light. You let out the breath you did not know you were holding. Your sister was safe for now.
"Arigatou angel-san," you sighed out loud, and distinctly you saw the angel turn his head in your direction, gazing at you intensely with his light sky blue eyes.
"Yue," he corrected softly but sternly, and you smiled lightly at him.
All of a sudden you were slammed backwards onto the wall of the school, and Yue started to fly forwards but was stopped by a harsh voice commanding, "Don't move."
A slight whoosh was heard while you sensed a presence beside you and you saw what looked to be many purple threads welded into the shape of a long dagger. Holding the dagger to your throat the creature hissed, "Dammit Hanayaru, you're not supposed to do this yet." You were confused, what were you not supposed to do? And what were you doing that aggravated this creature so much? Were you a pawn in some sort of master plan of someone's, and if so, who? But you did not have time to ponder this question any further seeing as you were starting to feel very drowsy. Lifting your eyes beside you, you saw it was a strange hybrid creature that was a cross between an angel and a cat. What struck you most were the red eyes, for some reason they seemed so familiar…
"You weren't supposed to meet him yet Hana-chan," it said with eyes sympathetic to you. "Forget this meeting…for now…"
(Yue's P.O.V)
He reacted when he saw her head slump onto her arm, charging forwards towards Ume blindly while Himitsu was sucked up into a whirling black whirlpool. Turning around, he saw her eyes widen before he punched her in the gut. Ume flew backwards, blood flying out of her mouth before she tumbled and fell on the ground. Coughing up even more of the carmine liquid, Ume shakily stood up and cocked a lopsided grin whilst Yue looked at her in confusion. A soft groan behind him made him spin around in place while his eyes grew to the size of dinner plates upon his realization. What was that realization? That Wong was being sucked into the whirling black vortex that Himitsu had just moments before.
Slowly gaining consciousness Wong-san looked bewildered before a look of panic flitted through her face before she began thrashing her way out and screamed, "GET ME THE FUCK OUTTA HERE!" (She isn't one for subtlety is she?)
Face crinkling in disgust at her choice of words, Yue nonetheless bounded forward and reached out his arm while Wong-san was reaching out hers. She was slowly sinking; the only visible part of her was from the shoulders up…
The whirlpool suddenly sprouted black vines and wrapped around Wong-san, then suddenly pulled her into the whirlpool, leaving Yue only grabbing at dust, with Wong-san's scream ringing faintly in his ears. Fury in his eyes, he turned around to face the hybrid that was before him, who was staring placidly at him with a small smirk on her face.
Yue fell before he could register what happened, through the ringing in his ears, Yue somehow heard Ume's mocking taunt, "About time you showed up baka."
"Forgive me o-nay-chan," Umeko spat while she closed her fan with a snap. "Master had me do a few things before coming here."
"Well, are you finally ready?"
"Yes. Let's do this."
Once again, Umeko chanted in her soft suave voice while Ume bound Yue to the ground with her twilight wires. Before proceeding with their plan, Ume flew up into the air and mockingly landed lightly on Yue's chest. Bending low she whispered, "You enjoy being in this position don't you Yue-san?" before laughing arrogantly and flying back.
"Are you done toying with him?" Umeko drawled.
Flying back and bickering with her sister, Ume summoned a thick purple ribbon while Umeko chanted in an archaic and powerful voice. Wrapping the ribbon around them like a cocoon, a bright white light shone from within before the purple ribbon was blown to shreds, with Ume and Umeko nowhere in sight.
"Where did those two go?" Yue thought while his eyes scanned the area for the twins of trouble.
He felt it before anything else. A blow to the head, and a hard, almost wooden strike to the stomach. Then it all came at once, a flurry of blows, scratches, and slugs tossed him this way and that like an old rag doll. A hoarse scream quite unlike his voice erupted from within while he was beaten and pummelled to a pulp, the two sisters laughing at him all the while. It took him quite a while to realize that he was screaming out in pain. He did not feel himself spiralling upward, it was only when the last hard, flat, wooden smack to the underside of his chin did he realize that he was a good eight kilometres (about 2 miles) up in the air did he realize that his wings were broken. As if a huge shot of epinephrine had been injected into him, Yue felt himself collecting the magical energy in the air around him while his wings grew larger before shrinking back to his usual size. He felt renewed, as if he was Doraemon and had just come home from the repair shop. Surprisingly, he felt drained at the same time, as if the whole ordeal had overtaxed him, before he could help himself, he was floating down to the ground with his wings curling up around him. He felt his form slide into the shell of Yukito, and he felt Yukito's big brown eyes blink tiredly before they closed in exhaustion. Fighting to stay conscious, Yue pleaded, "Sakura, please, get here soon."
Because as much as it killed him to admit it (with his male pride and all), he needed his mistress now, more than ever. He felt and saw a familiar bubble of brilliant pink magical energy before his mind blanked out and he fell asleep.
(Sakura-san's P.O.V)
She tried to ignore the minute amounts of magic she was sensing, but decided against her brain when her gut was eating away at her. Rushing out of the house, Touya remarked that she was being more of a kaijuu than usual before Sakura poked her head around the corner and gave him a knowing look before saying, "O-nii-chan, didn't you have to set up the classroom today?" while frantically mouthing, "I sense something!" when her father was not looking.
Catching the hint (I wish I could do that) Touya-san hastily put on the jacket of his school uniform before heading out the door. He grabbed his bike and offered Sakura to sit on the small rack that he had attached to the bike. She knew that he was contemplating letting her use her magic to fly there, but this is Japan people, with their truckloads of people likely to spot a random pink-winged angel in the air, and way too many to put to sleep. Pedalling like a madman towards the school, Sakura nearly flew off the bike when he braked suddenly at the entrance door. Glancing behind her brother's shoulder, Sakura saw the familiar silver hair and a prone figure.
"Yuki-kun," Sakura shouted while Touya whispered. Both siblings rushed over to his form and turned him around, gauging his sleeping form before relaxing about his well-being. Though deep down, Sakura knew that Touya was still worried about his boyfriend more than Sakura was. Tracing his fingers over Yuki's slightly troubled face; Sakura could see the deep concern that was evident in her O-nii-chan's eyes.
"Protect!" Sakura yelled instinctively while the card rose up and covered the three of them in a white bubble. Her wand appeared in her hand without her having to chant the words to summon it. Two forces were outside the magical bubble, one pummelling, the other a bit more reserved and calm circling around the outside and smacking at the weaker points of The Protect.
"Ume and Umeko," Sakura hissed with as much venom as her prepubescent twelve year old self could. I wonder how she knew that. "O-nii-chan. Bring Yuki-kun out of here."
Thankfully, Touya obeyed without question, he scooped up little Yukito-san in his arms before dashing off somewhere off of school property. Making sure they were safely out of the way first, Sakura demanded, "Stop picking on my friends! It's me you want so come out!"
A snicker and a chuckle was heard before Sakura sensed something travelling towards her, and fast. "Power!" Sakura yelled, and used her staff to block the attack. Although she saw no one, she knew somebody was there. That person pushed off the staff while another object sailed like a bullet towards Sakura. "Jump!" Sakura said in despair, while wings formed on shoes, and she sailed high into the air with a single bound. Unluckily for her, a blurry shape in the form of a cat-angel flew up to meet her head-on.
"FLY!" the word flew out of her mouth with more force than she had intended to. The magical energy around her exploded to form the familiar pink wings while she sensed that Ume was thrown back towards the ground. Too late, she sensed Umeko behind her and was slammed down into the ground by her giant fan. Body sore and bruised, Sakura shakily stood up while pondering the situation in her mind.
"I can sense them okay, but it would be nice to see what I'm up against," she thought desperately. "I can't sense them as well as I can see. And my sense is not as fast as my eyes."
A blunt scratch on the shoulder was made by Ume while Sakura sensed that the evil creature was licking its claws in delight. Unbeknownst to anybody, a small white shimmer was surrounding Sakura.
"All I can see right now is a blurry shape, that is slightly different from what's surrounding it. But that's not enough to prepare for any attacks or anything. If only I could see!"
"Let me out," a voice commanded in Sakura's head. Closing her eyes, she did so, and it felt as though a weight was lifted off of her shoulders while her heart was being siphoned of impurities. When she opened her eyes, she saw a monotonously blue female, scantily dressed, with a butterfly mask over her unopened eyes. Her long curly hair swished ominously while Ume and Umeko stopped as if to see what new toy Sakura had brought.
"Reveal," Sakura whispered while, as if obeying, took off its butterfly mask and opened its eyes. Once opened, the world around was discoloured to a dark purple, while the images of Ume and Umeko were blurry and fuzzy at first, similar to a badly tuned television. With a final surge of energy, the Reveal's eyes shone a bright white light while the shapes of Ume and Umeko finally snapped back into place. The Reveal's form dissolved before sinking into the ground and creating an unseen boundary to the two misfits. But this boundary allowed Sakura to see exactly where she had the keep the two in order to see them. Focusing her gaze on the two creatures, Ume looked furious while Umeko's facial expression was more intrigued.
"Fly!" Growing more confident now that she could see them, Sakura was now leading the attack while Ume and Umeko were on the defence. Twirling around in midair, the whole scene was like an overly complicated acrobatic show that did not slow down, or even allow time to blink in fear of missing some important detail. Sakura's staff made contact with Umeko's stomach while she was thrown off her brittle cloud. Landing smoothly on the ground, Ume joined her while Sakura was up in the air wondering what they could be planning. Umeko's large fans were open, and suddenly created a multitude of miniature golden fans with purple wires attached to them. They hovered still for a moment before launching out towards Sakura, whilst she weaved in and out of the fans and wires.
"Disperse!" she yelled out once more, and the attack ceased while Ume looked frightened and Umeko looked amused. Lifting her eyes, Sakura noticed that both Hanayaru-san and an unknown classmate tied to crosses, making them appear as though they were crucified. Touya came back and looking up he exclaimed, "Hana-chan! Wong-san!"
"O-nii-chan, look out!" Sakura warned, and thankfully the warning came up on time. Touya tumbled backwards to avoid the assault from Umeko, and jumped away to avoid the one from Ume. The two sisters were smiling with amusement and glee before their images started to blip a little. Touya using brute force; retaliated and the two jumped back to avoid the assault before the two straightened up and disappearing into black whirlpools of their own.
"Well that was fun," Umeko stated plainly with a ghost of a smirk on her face. "But we didn't get any card, and that was against master's wishes…"
"Don't worry about it Mei-Mei," Ume stated playfully. "We can always rip some out when she's sleeping like last time. And Yue's such a useful and fun puppet. Too bad we ran out of energy or else I would've-"
"Shut up," Umeko hissed before the two disappeared into their black holes.
"Hanayaru-san!" Sakura blurted before summoning The Fly and The Float to carry Touya and her up to the roof. Using The Erase, Sakura removed the crosses before the two went over to help the two wake up. Both siblings gently shook their charges, Sakura was trying to shake Wong-san awake, but she appeared to be adamant on sleeping. Sakura heard a soft groan, and when she looked over, she saw her O-nii-chan gazing intently into Hanayaru-san's eyes, and it looked like he was trying to control himself from doing something rash and impulsive. His eyes were softening, and it looked like Hanayaru-san was becoming more and more awake and bewildered…
"Cheese and fucking rice, what the fucking hell happened," Wong-san groaned irritably while clutching her head.
The two jumped away, Hanayaru-san visibly red, while Touya was trying to look everywhere but where Hanayaru-san was. Their reaction made Sakura frown. Wasn't Touya in love with Yuki-kun?
"Hey what's this?" Wong-san asked before she picked up a pink rectangular card. "Isn't this that card you can buy from the Twin Bells store?"
"Gomen Wong-san, that is mine," Sakura said a little too quickly. Wong-san shrugged and handed it over to Sakura. On the card was The Reveal's true form, with her arms crossed while one hand was raised as if to take off her mask.
Getting up, everybody was making their way to classes, before Sakura stopped and noticed that Hanayaru's eyes were brown.
"I like your brown contacts," Sakura whispered.
A look of bewilderment briefly crossed Hanayaru's face before she said, "But they were green this morning…"
Walking forward, Sakura did not say anything more, instead she simply thought, "I'll tell her one day. Just, not now."
I'll do the Japanese to English another day. It's really late right now, and two people, well, really one, is bothering me over MSN.
