A/N: Okay, sorry this took so long, but someone asked me to do this card. I was going to skip mist and float so mist will be done. As I want to get to the summer vacation because I have a plan for it.
Anyway, with pokemon gold and silver now on the ds finally. I will be enjoying my favourite game since it came out in 2001. Anyway, on ward with the new chapter 12.
Chapter 12
It was a sunny Sunday and Sakura was enjoying herself as she ran along from stall to stall. Tomoyo was with her recording Sakura as Tomoyo followed. "You seem very happy, Sakura-chan." Sakura turned round with a nod as she pulled out a large ticket she had received from Yukito a couple days beforehand.
The seijou high school fair was the Sunday coming and Toya had yet to give Sakura one like he normally did, Yukito had given one to Sakura and was allowed to bring a friend. And since Naruto would be there, Tomoyo was invited along.
When Naruto had told her of his training with the Kyuubi and the mental fatigue he gets from doing so, since his mind is normally awake 3 full day's and he'd been doing it even more so as he lasted longer. Though Sakura found it uneasy that her best friend was being trained by the very one who tormented his dreams. She was more hurt he never said to begin with. Naruto had said they'd get stronger together... Yet he was training on his own. She did forgive Naruto, but she knew he wasn't telling her something and that hurt her, did he not trust her? After that, Naruto seemed to be doing less training it seemed and he'd been sleeping right again. But she was still worried but didn't voice it.
Sakura was so focused on her thoughts of Yukito giving her the ticket, she didn't notice Tomoyo's camera focused on her. Which of course, when she did notice it surprised her. "T-tomoyo-chan?" Tomoyo merely smiled.
"You were just too lovely while you were happily lost in your memories, Sakura-chan." Sakura merely smiled nervously at Tomoyo before noticing Genpaku sitting at one stall.
"Ohayo ani-san." Sakura spoke walking up. Genpaku, who was slightly bored looked over with to Sakura and smiled.
"Ohayo Sakura-chan. So you came this year? I thought Toya had said he didn't give you a ticket...?" Genpaku muttered at the end to himself. Sakura looked at the board.
"Fight round?" Sakura spoke aloud. Genpaku nods.
"Hai, this is more for students and adults who want to win one of the main prizes." Sakura looked to Genpaku in wonder. "The top prize cans one of three things that were donated thanks to Ray-san's connections. All one has to do is land three hits to one of our fighters who's chosen from a random colour ball pick up." Genpaku said as he put his hand on the box. "Three hits and you win. But that's up to the ref to decide if you hit or not." Sakura looked about before looking to Genpaku again.
"Naruto-kun about?" Genpaku nods.
"Hai, I left him with Sakura-chan and Yukito-san so he's probably somewhere eating... He was really hungry this morning." Genpaku muttered as he was amazed by the blond's pig out at breakfast. "I think Sakura went to help Toya with the play. So you might find Naruto with Yukito at the candy shop."
"So do you know what ani-chan is playing in?" Genpaku shrugged as a person came over and paid Genpaku to have a go.
"I don't know, Toya was very sketchy about it and Sakura-chan wouldn't say. So I'll be interested to take a look as to why he wouldn't tell me. And if you wish to know where the candy shop is, head to that building over there and it's on the second floor. Shouldn't be too hard to find." Sakura looked in the direction Genpaku pointed.
"Arigatou!" Sakura called running off with Tomoyo. As they entered the school they nabbed some sweet treats before heading for the stairs. "Kero-chan would be so frustrated if he knew..." Sakura stopped as she just remembered and ran to the top step and looked back to Tomoyo. "Now I remember. Kero-chan asked me for souvenirs!" Sakura spoke as she turned down the hall. "Let's find Naruto-kun first." Sakura said as she walked round a corner and looked for the shop. She smiled as she saw Yukito in a kimono letting students into the room. "Yukito-san!" Sakura chirped as she walked up. "Hello." Yukito smiled as he looked at the young pair. "Wow..." Sakura spoke as she looked Yukito over a second. "A kimono!" Yukito chuckled as he pointed to the room.
"Our class is doing traditional candy shop, so they wanted us to be in traditional Japanese clothes." Sakura nods.
"We know. Genpaku-san mentioned as we were looking for Naruto-kun." Yukito pulled the flaps aside and Sakura looked to see Naruto sat with headphones on.
"He's been here a while just sitting there, I think he's bored since he's got no one there to enjoy it with." Sakura looked to Yukito then to Naruto and walked over with Tomoyo. Sakura put a hand on Naruto's shoulder. Sakura took a quick note that Naruto seemed rather tired looking before speaking.
"Ohayo Naruto-kun." Naruto blinked from his day dreaming as he listened to his music and turned to Sakura.
"Sakura-chan... Tomoyo-chan..." Naruto muttered as he looked at the pair before smiling and pulling his headphones off. "How you doing today?" Sakura sat down on Naruto's left while Tomoyo sat to his right.
"We're fine Naruto-kun." Tomoyo spoke. "How long you been here?" Naruto sighed as he looked down.
"Since the start really... I didn't think you were coming Sakura-chan." Sakura glanced to Naruto.
"Didn't I say I was coming?" Naruto looked up a second.
"Um... I can't remember now." Naruto muttered as he looked down as Yukito walked over.
"What can I get you three?" Yukito asked them. "We have ramune soda, and cold candy-water, too."
"I'll have cold candy-water please." Tomoyo spoke.
"Ramune soda." Both Naruto and Sakura spoke together as Yukito nods and walked off. Sakura shivered as Naruto looked to her. "Something wrong?" Sakura looked to Naruto.
"It feels like someone is watching me." Naruto's face became a blank stare as he turned round and glared behind Sakura. Sakura turned round to see Li looking at the group. Though this seemed a different kind of glare than normal. Naruto sighed.
"Don't mind him; he's just over dosed on sugar, see..." Naruto said as he commented about all the bottles at Li's feet.
"How long has he been here?" Tomoyo asked as Sakura turned round.
"Not long after I showed up, but I left for food and came back and he was still drinking..." Naruto stated as he shook his head. "Seriously, he's been a bit jumpy every now and then, I think he'll be over in a minute at this rate now that your here Sakura-chan." Sakura gave a confused look. "Well, since you like Yukito and Li's got this strange thing for him." Sakura looked forward for a moment; Tomoyo had mentioned something about that. "Give him a couple of minutes and he'll be right over."
"You seem rather calm about it Naruto-kun." Tomoyo spoke. "Normally you don't take to kindly to Li at all." Naruto shrugged.
"To tired to care really right now. Maybe later..." Naruto finished as Yukito brought their drinks over. Sakura felt the glare on her back again and looked to see Li's glare was even more intense than before. Naruto glared at Li as Yukito looked over.
"Want another?" Li blinked and quickly nods. Naruto looked forward with a sigh as he had his drink and put an empty bottle down by his foot on the floor. Li jumped as he moved to confront Sakura as Naruto kicked the bottle back and as Li landed he slipped on the drink's bottle and landed flat on his back. Both girls blinked as Naruto continued to drink before looking at Li.
'That was easy...' Naruto mussed to himself as Li quickly stood as Yukito brought his drink over and Li took if without a word. Yukito looked to the group.
"My shift is over now. Want me to show you around?" Yukito asked and Sakura and Li nod with a reply before looking at each other, though Sakura's was nervous while Li seemed to look annoyed. As Naruto set his drink down he stood and stretched.
"Cool..." Naruto growled. "Let's go shall we?" Naruto asked with a yawn. Meanwhile Sakura Haruno was busy walking the school in search of the older Kinomoto teen. A yell with a thud drew her attention.
"This is heavy!" Sakura walked round the corner to see Toya with two other males dragging huge chest.
"Trouble Toya?" Sakura spoke as she walked up. The two other males looked to Sakura.
"Sakura-san..." Sakura looked to the crate and sighed. She sighed.
"You wimps..." Sakura spoke picking up the crate. The two males looked on nervously as Sakura put it over her shoulder and walked on up to Toya. She was one of the scariest girls in the school because of her insane strength. Even if she was very nice, no one and I do mean no one ever got on her bad side. The last one that did had to have a cast on their right arm for the rest of the year after Sakura gave a light thump to them for insulting her forehead. "Come on Toya. Let's walk and talk." Toya nods slowly and followed.
Sakura was one the many strange things in the school. Her insane strength was one; Toya and Yukito who didn't have girlfriends were another. Even Genpaku Uzumaki was a strange one with his unnatural gift at sports. It was even he that formed the martial arts club or fight club to others.
Back with the young group and Yukito. Sakura was busy hugging a rabbit plush she'd spotted. Li of course found this to be immature and did voice it. "You like childish things like this?" Sakura looked to Li annoyed.
"But it's cute!" Sakura retorted while Tomoyo just remained quiet with a smile. Naruto on the other hand was looking at the sign. A large teen from the basket ball team came over.
"If you can dribble past 5 members of the varsity team and score, you'll win it. It's a 100 yen per try." The male spoke as Sakura looked over and the young group looked at the team. Yukito reached into his pocket to have ago when Naruto walked up.
"Very well... I shall take the challenge!" Naruto spoke up as he held the coin up to the teen. "I'll make light work of you!" The older male chuckled taking the coin.
"Very well squirt, what's you name then you cocky kid?" The male asked as he passed Naruto the ball. Naruto caught it and smirked as he bounced the ball and looked up as the teen put the whistle to his mouth.
"Naruto Uzumaki!" The male's eyes widen as he whistled in surprise and Naruto was off. Naruto smirked as he weaved in and out of the tall group and as he reached the last one he jumped as the male crouched down to take the ball and Naruto jumped off the right shoulder and put the ball in. Naruto cheered as he swung from the ring. "Haha! Like a pro!" Naruto chuckled as the teens looked dumb founded. Naruto picked up the ball and walked over as the team scratched their heads at how they could have been beaten so easily. Naruto passed the ball over as he took the rabbit from the basket ball playing teens hands. "Here you go Sakura-chan!" Naruto chirped handing the rabbit back to her. Sakura smiled as she took the bunny.
"Arigatou Naruto-kun!" Naruto smiled as he put his hands behind his head.
"Geez... You said your name was Uzumaki... As in related to Genpaku Uzumaki?" The teen asked. Naruto looked over.
"Hai! Genpaku's my oni-san." The male sighed as he scratched the back of his head.
"It must run in the family to be unbelievably athletic." Naruto grinned as Yukito handed two coins up. "You want a go Tsukishiro?" Yukito nods and the teen rubbed his head before passing the ball to Yukito and getting the group ready.
"I wonder why Yukito's going twice?" Naruto pondered. Yukito swept the first round and asked Tomoyo to pick out a toy. Naruto noticed Li looked annoyed while he tried to not be interested. Naruto smirked. "Jealous Li?" Li glared at the blond.
"W-why would I?" Li blinked as a yellow rabbit was held out and looked to see Yukito attached to it.
"Here you go." Li took the plush and glared back at Naruto who had a smirk before trying to ignore the blond. Naruto chuckled as the group walked off. Naruto wasn't interested in having a plush, he had his own favourite kind, anime plush toys. Though only Sakura and Tomoyo and his family knew. As they walked round the stalls Naruto grinned and ran up to Genpaku.
"Hey oni-san." Genpaku looked to Naruto. Genpaku grinned.
"Hey Naruto... Ah, Yukito, Sakura, Tomoyo and the gaki's with you also. Like the toys." Sakura smiled with a nod.
"Naruto won me mine and Yukito-san won Tomoyo-chan and Li-kun one." Genpaku looked to Naruto as he was looking at the board. Genpaku smirked.
"Want a go?" Naruto looked over.
"Of course!" Naruto spoke as he walked up. Genpaku leaned back on his chair and over to the group sitting back.
"Oi! You've got a challenger!" One of the males stood and walked over as Genpaku stood. "This little guy here." Genpaku said put his hand on Naruto's head. "Wants a go." The male looked to Naruto and sighed before looking at Genpaku.
"Genpaku, you seriously going to let a kid play? This isn't like other game we're doing here." Genpaku nods.
"I know, but he's persistent. So give him the benefit of the doubt okay?" The male nods.
"Fine..." The teen sighed. "Give him the choice from the colour balls and we'll get going..." The male crouched down to the blonds level. "Though I will say you shouldn't have go kid, this game will leave a mark." Naruto crossed his arms.
"Yeah... For you." Naruto muttered. The teen's eye twitched and he stood.
"Un second thought, I'll be his challenger." Genpaku nods with a grin.
"Go right ahead... I'll judge." Genpaku said as Naruto and the male walked out into the small ring. "Okay kid." Genpaku spoke. "This is a simple three strike victory. You have to land three proper blows and I'll be the judge if they land. Now this will hurt so if you want to back down now..."
"Nope, go ahead I'm ready." Genpaku nods with a smirk.
'Leave him stunned gaki.' Genpaku signalled and the teen smirked and waved his hand.
"Come on then kid, I don't have all day." Naruto took note of the stance and smirked as he got into his form and dashed forward. Naruto blocked the left kick and with his left hand gripped hold and pushed up with a double kick and knocked the wind out the male. Naruto flipped back as the male gasped.
"Point!" Genpaku spoke holding his hand out to Naruto before looking to his fellow student. "What's wrong Kai? Defeated already?" The male blinked stunned and stood.
"O-oh course not. Let's go again kid." Naruto nods.
"Very well... But be warned I'm not as easy to beat as you think." Naruto stated. "Come on! Or I'll wither away before you get to me." Naruto taunted and the male rushed the blond. Genpaku sighed as Naruto jumped, and flipped up over the teens shoulder with a hand stand and spun round with a foot push off the back of the teen's skull. The male hit the ground and groaned as he put his hand to his face. Naruto stood with his arms crossed. "That all?" Genpaku sniggered.
"Point!" Genpaku called as the male clasped his hand shut. "One more point to go." The teenn stood ready.
"Begin!" Naruto smirked as he dashed forward ready to finish this and the male dodged left and opened his hand. Naruto's eye clasped shut with the dirt in his eyes as the male went for the knee and knocked Naruto back. Naruto stumbled and rubbed his eyes.
"Hey! He cheated that's not fair!" Sakura called. Naruto growled as he rubbed his eyes. Genpaku glared at his fellow student for under handed tactics.
"Point..." Genpaku spoke lazily with a hand out to the male. 'Naruto's going to hurt you for that...' Genpaku looked to Naruto. "Ready?" Naruto nods as he blinked and rubbed his eyes. "Begin..." The male teen smirked as he moved to make the young lad give up with the next hit. Naruto shimmered from the strike and was crouched and swept the teen's feet out from beneath him. The male yelped as he hit the ground back first.
"Point!" Genpaku spoke. "Naruto's the victory." The male sat up.
"Nani! But that wasn't..." He stopped speaking as Genpaku stood over him with his arms crossed.
"You should be glad I let that be the point... For someone who's supposed to be second best, you're under handed tactics were low... Get out of here now and I think it would be best for the rest of our squad if you dropped from the class all together... After throwing dirt into my otōto's eyes, I won't stand for that."
"Nani? H-he's you're..." Naruto glared as he rubbed the tears caused by the dirt. The male sighed and walked off. The group members looked at the guy who was beaten by the team captains little brother. Naruto looked to Genpaku.
"I should have done more than knock him off his feet." Genpaku shook his head.
"He's lost his position after that sneaky move, he enjoyed martial arts but I think being beaten by you showed his true colours. Fighting like we're supposed to is for fun, the second foul play is used it's not a fight worth watching. He'll have to sort himself out. But I'm sure we'll let him back in when he's done some soul searching. Now then... You're prize Naruto." Naruto nods as Genpaku walked over to the box. "We don't have much left, since Ray had these donated. Let's see, flying lesson was taken."
"Flying lesson?" Yukito asked. Genpaku looked up with a nod.
"Hai, these guys are the best there are. If you're going to fight for something, make it worth fighting for. Don't worry; we've earned a good amount from this event. It wasn't at a loss. Now... Ah!" Genpaku spoke as he stood. "Now as I said, one was flying lessons, another was an all paid trip to a theme park, that was won by a girl from another school. A fight worth watching there... And the last item... Is this..." Genpaku said as he held out a necklace. Naruto's face remained blank.
"That all?" Genpaku chuckled.
"You really don't know anything yet Naruto. This little thing here is actually quite expensive; it's one of those types that can be broken in two also. I begged Ray for this to get for Sakura-chan... But the guy said he'd cut my fingers off if I touched it..." Genpaku looked left or right like Ray was around somewhere. "Well, if you don't want it gaki..."
"Actually..." Naruto spoke. "I've changed my mind..." Genpaku sighed as he passed it to the blond. Naruto looked at it, it was a ruby heart. Naruto blinked a second and looked up in confusion. "Breaks in two?" Genpaku nods with a smirk.
"Of course... Here..." Genpaku said taking it off the blond and snapping the gem down the middle and held the two half's showing the clips. "One goes to you, and we'll give this half to you Sakura-chan." Genpaku said passing the young Kinomoto girl the other half. Naruto looked at it a second before looking back to his brother.
"Why is it meant to be in two parts?" Genpaku sighed.
"It's quite simple. It's a symbol that is either among friends, or couples. They differ to who wants it. A heart is of course show by love, love for one another that make two halves of a whole. Get the picture now."
"Oh..." Naruto muttered as he understood now before looking to Sakura. "Um... You want to keep that half Sakura-chan?" Sakura looked to the blond surprised.
"O-okay Naruto-kun..." Sakura muttered as Yukito offered to help. While he did Tomoyo walked over to Genpaku and asked for a moment of his time. Naruto sweat dropped as the two moved aside from the group. Why did he feel that this was going to happen more often? Li merely just ignored the scene.
Before long the group left with Genpaku in toe since his stall was finished with and as they walked Yukito realised the time. "It's about time."
"Time for what?" Tomoyo asked as the group stopped and Yukito looked to Tomoyo.
"The play that our class is doing. It's in the gymnasium." Yukito replied as Genpaku rubbed his chin.
"Oh yeah... What is Toya playing as? Sakura wouldn't say and Toya pretty much wouldn't say anything either. Care to enlighten me Yukito-san?" Genpaku asked as Yukito looked to the older Uzumaki.
"You'll have to wait and see."
"Um..." Li spoke as Yukito looked to young lad. Though this made Li nervous. "A-are you going to be in it?"
"Me? Yeah." Yukito replied with a nod. Sakura smiled at this.
"What role will you be playing?" Yukito stood straight with a smile.
"A can of mackerel." Naruto barely blinked while Tomoyo, Sakura and Li repeated the sentence. Genpaku shrugged.
"Food never gets away from you Yukito, even in the role of a play..." Genpaku muttered loudly, though Yukito just smiled.
"T-that sounds like a rather yummy role..." Sakura spoke up first from the young group as the group started moving again.
"You're right... Canned mackerel are really good." Yukito spoke while both Uzumaki's didn't voice it, but it seemed really stupid to be playing the role of canned foods. As Yukito separated from the group, Sakura Haruno walked up.
"Hey there you lot... Huh... So he's been hanging out with you lot huh?" Sakura mused looking at Li. "He hasn't been causing you trouble has he?" Li seemed annoyed by this while Genpaku waved his hand.
"Settle down Sakura-chan, gaki's been fine. Let's get a seat; I'm curious as to what will be on." Sakura smiled.
"I think you might enjoy this... But keep it down..." Genpaku raised an eyebrow. As they moved Sakura Kinomoto stopped as she noticed Naruto seemed to be dazed where he stood.
"What's wrong Naruto-kun?" Sakura asked as Naruto was looking about the room. "Naruto?" Naruto looked to Sakura.
"N-nothing Sakura-chan..." 'This feeling... Crud, if it's a clow card I'm useless right now. I used up my magic in training and still need to recover...' Naruto followed Sakura to the front where the group sat down with Li then Tomoyo, followed by Sakura Kinomoto, Naruto, Sakura and then Genpaku in line.
Some of the shows weren't too bad, though Naruto and Genpaku were slightly more interested to get to Toya's one. Sakura Haruno could only sigh as both tapped their feet with interest, until finally junior class d, was up. And performing Cinderella. Sakura Kinomoto looked up surprised.
"Why is there going to be canned mackerel in Cinderella?" Naruto asked as he looked to the older Sakura who just smiled as the lights darkened and the curtain rose. Naruto felt his hair stand on the back of his neck; he could sense the clow card was getting close. He glanced to Sakura who seemed unfazed as was Li.
As the play started it began with Cinderella, Genpaku leaned forward as his jaw lowered. "No... way..." Sakura Haruno noticed the grin forming and sighed as she looked to Naruto who seemed to be about to do the same.
"This voice...?" Sakura Kinomoto muttered as she heard Cinderella's voice. But from the position she could be a hundred percent sure. A Cinderella stood and turned to look out and Sakura Haruno formed a half seal as Naruto and Genpaku burst into fits of laugher and their voices cut out so that they didn't ruin the show. Sakura Kinomoto merely dropped from her chair surprised by the fact Toya was playing Cinderella. While the main majority of the girls in the school were wooed by Toya which showed just how popular he was. But Sakura could only watch embarrassed as Toya was pushed about in his role by the two sisters and step mother. But while he didn't show much interest in his role. The ones beside him who played the sisters seemed to be more energetic with their roles.
It wasn't long before Yukito was up and the Uzumaki's had calmed down enough to not make a loud scene in their now quiet state of fits and giggles. Yukito seemed just as popular with the main majority of the girls also, Yukito's role was a sorcerer with canned mackerel on his head and said the discarded can of mackerel gained magical powers as time passed. This floored both Sakura and Li. "W-why a can of mackerel?" Li asked. Tomoyo glanced to Li to answer.
"Perhaps it's to raise public awareness about no wasting things..." Sakura and Li merely looked from Tomoyo to the show slightly surprised. Naruto stood as the play went on.
"Something wrong Naruto-kun?" Sakura Kinomoto asked. Naruto glanced to Sakura with a look of worry.
"Just... Heading for the bathroom..." Naruto muttered walking off. Something seemed off and Sakura followed quickly.
"Naruto-kun?!" Sakura called as she entered the quiet hall. Naruto was busy walking down the hall. "What's wrong?" Naruto turned to Sakura.
"Can you not sense it Sakura-chan?" Sakura shook her head. Naruto sighed. "There's a clow card." Sakura looked surprised and looked about.
"Really?" Sakura asked looking to Naruto. "Where?" Naruto turned back down the path.
"This way, come on..." Sakura nods and followed.
"How can you be sure?" Naruto glanced to Sakura and looked forward again.
"It's the training... Because I've been training and working under sensei for so long... In the time we started. I've been picking up the presence easy." Sakura looked down cast by this. Naruto came to a stop and looked to Sakura.
"Don't think you're lacking Sakura-chan. I can tell that you've just questioned you ability. Listen, I'm going to need your help here... I did some training this morning and haven't recovered."
"Training? What do you mean?" Naruto took a breath.
"I've been training out in isolated places to perform magic and I've worn myself out. You might notice more as the time goes by, but I need a full day to recover and I've just so happened to have had the worst day to be so... Come on, you're the only one who can do anything here Sakura-chan." Sakura nods and followed but kept her eyes on the blonds back. He still doesn't tell her everything... There was something he was leaving out.
Naruto and Sakura came to a stop. Sakura looked to Naruto as to why. "What's wrong?" Naruto glanced about and put his hand to the floor.
"It's close... It's beneath us." Both looked for a door or somewhere to get down to it. Naruto shivered and turned to the window to see green mist floating up the side. "There!" Sakura turned to the window and quickly drew her key. But the mist seeped through as the window melted and the pair moved down the hall as the mist dipped in. "It ate through the window... Sakura, you got your phone?" Sakura nods as she passed it to Naruto and he called Kero. "Kero-chan, we've got trouble,,," Naruto spoke as Sakura summoned her staff and they looked at the green mist.
"What is it?" Kero asked as he heard what Naruto gave over quickly. "Sounds like the mist card! It rots everything it touches." Naruto pulled Sakura back as Mist got closer.
"How do we stop it then?" Naruto asked.
"You need to find away to wrap the mist card up." Naruto looked to Sakura.
"Sakura we need to something to wrap mist up..." Sakura looked to Naruto and to Mist. "Be careful, mist rots everything it touches so let's try get it done quickly." Sakura nods.
"Wrap... Wrap..." Sakura muttered as they looked as the mist chewed through the area before them. "Wait!" Sakura pulled out shadow and threw the card forward. "Shadow! Wrap all of mist within yourself! Shadow!" Sakura yelled hitting the card. The card burst to life and seeped round the floor and wall and the cracks on the floor below as it blocked mist's routes and dragged it back into the small square in the hall. "Return to the guise that you were meant to be in! Clow card!" Sakura yelled hitting the hollow card and watched it form and become the clow card, she sighed as the mist card landed in her palm. "Arigatou Naruto-kun." Naruto looked to Sakura confused. "If you hadn't looked worried and taken off, I might not have followed." Naruto rubbed the back of his neck.
"Heh, I couldn't do anything and Li and you didn't seem to be sensing the card... I had to be worried; I just wonder what I could have done... None of my skills could have stopped mist anyway... But I just didn't want to stop you from watching the play so I decided I'd just go and wing it." Sakura smiled slightly.
"That's okay... Come on, let's get back." Naruto nods and both headed back to the hall. But stopped just before the door.
"Hey Sakura-chan." Sakura looked to Naruto.
"Yeah?" Naruto scratched the side of his head a second. "What's wrong?" Naruto sighed and shook his head.
"It's nothing, come lets go in." The play continued with no trouble and after the play finished Naruto, Sakura and Tomoyo left with Li following and Naruto mentioned the clow card to the pair. Much to Li's annoyance that the blond seems to be able to sense the cow card so soon, this made Li wondered where Naruto's power came from. Tomoyo was upset with the fact she didn't get to recover Sakura sealing the card, but was glad the card didn't cause damage. As the day came close to the end and it began to get dark and the bonfire formed out in the middle as a stage for the bands got up and started, Genpaku with Sakura walked up.
"You guy's enjoy yourselves?" The group nod as Yukito walked up. "Not bad for a play really." Genpaku spoke to Yukito.
"Arigatou Genpaku-san."
"You were great as the can of mackerel." Li spoke as he looked down. Yukito smiled.
"Arigatou." Sakura glanced about.
"Where's oni-chan?" Sakura asked as Yukito looked to Sakura.
"He got pulled aside by Yoko-san." Yukito replied as music got underway. Genpaku smirked and pulled Sakura Haruno with him.
"Let's have some fun now shall we?!" Sakura giggled as they walked off. Yukito walked off to get a snack and Li walked off as well. "So..." Genpaku spoke as he and Sakura danced. "You get everything ready?" Sakura nods as she glanced to Naruto and Sakura.
"Of course... My friends made sure to pass the message, its fun doing this to them." Genpaku grinned.
"Well we've got no choice... I just hope this will change oji-san's mind when the time comes. After all, tou-san and Fujitaka-san did make that agreement. We've got to do what we can to stop what could happen. We don't have much time left." Sakura nods as the song ended and the next began.
"I know..." Sakura muttered as the pair danced closer together now. "I don't want to know what could happen if this succeeds but it fails at the end." Genpaku shook his head.
"If that happens, we'll have to make the dire choice possibly... Ray has even said so." Sakura nods.
"I know..."
As the songs changed it wasn't long before Genpaku and Sakura walked off and they spotted Toya in the next dance with Yoko, the girl who played the prince in the play. "Well well... You don't see that every day." Genpaku spoke aloud as they walked to the young group and Yukito. Sakura Haruno gave a slight nod to Genpaku and walked off. Naruto looked to his brother.
"Where's ane-chan going?" Genpaku shrugged, but he knew, he just wasn't going to say. He turned round to look at everyone dancing while he waited and Sakura Kinomoto spotted Toya.
"It's oni-chan..." Sakura muttered surprised to see him out there. But as Yoko walked on to her next dance partner, Toya walked off as his walked over. Yoko looked to Toya.
"Hey Kinomoto-kun?" Toya glanced back.
"I didn't promise anyone else to a dance, Yoko." Toya said walking on. The teen merely smiled light.
"You're acting a little too cool." She muttered as Toya walked up to the group.
"Yo, Toya-hime." Both Naruto and Genpaku spoke with a grin. Toya sighed as he put his hand to his head.
"You could have told me if you were going to be in the play!" Sakura spoke up as Toya looked to Yukito.
"You told her, didn't you?" Yukito gave a short nod as Sakura Haruno walked up to Genpaku.
"Their ready..." Toya raised an eyebrow. That look in their eyes, what were they planning? The music changed and the voice rung out over the speakers.
"Everyone grabbed a partner, it's going to get real slow..." As the music played Naruto blinked as Sakura Haruno took the blond and Genpaku gave Toya and slight glance and took Sakura Kinomoto. Toya looked annoyed at the pair as the four danced and in the brief glance between Genpaku and Sakura and the teens spun the young pair to each other and quickly moved away. Sakura and Naruto blinked as they looked at each other and heard muttering about the young pair being cute together and some awe's from the older females. Both turned red as they tried to stay focused. Genpaku grinned as Sakura stood beside him in victory of a decent plan. Toya merely looked annoyed at the red head.
"Why do you two do it?" He asked. Genpaku and Sakura glanced over with a smile.
"What?" Toya sighed, he was too tired to bother trying to understand the pair's reason, and just watched on, he was going to have to keep an eye on the blond more often now.
"Gomen Sakura-chan." Naruto muttered. "I didn't expect ani-chan or ane-chan to do this." Sakura shook her head.
"T-that's okay Naruto-kun... I don't mind." Naruto blinked.
"R-really?" Sakura shook her head. Naruto grinned. "Arigatou..." Sakura smiled lightly as they continued on. Genpaku looked to Sakura as they watched.
"I know this will probably embarrass them more, but do you think we should not go with the last idea we've got ready?" Genpaku asked Sakura. Sakura glanced over with a smile.
"Oh we're doing it; this was your idea as much as mine."
"What was?" Toya asked as the pair glanced away trying to look innocent. Toya sighed; he wondered who needed more of a watchful eye. Naruto or the two teens beside him?
And that's pretty much how the day went, with the fireworks at the end the group enjoyed their time there as did Naruto most of all. But things got more embarrassing as Genpaku and Sakura had asked many to put in the poll the cutest pair at the fair. So Naruto and Sakura were embarrassed once more as Genpaku and Sakura pulled the pair up when they didn't move when being called out. Toya was going to find away to get the older Uzumaki back for what he'd been doing behind his back with pushing the pair closer. He'd find away.

Yeah... I guess I should end it there. Sorry it took so long guys, playing assassin's creed two and trying to think up new idea's is taxing. I liked it and I hope to make a few more other idea with the clow cards and not fully stick to the anime. Well anyway, next card in a while, time to spell check and then spell check chapter 19 of path to a warrior since I've not done that yet.
Now before I go, someone asked a while ago, about what card's Sakura has. Since I've done a lot of jumping, I know some may not like the idea, but ccsn is only one of possibly 3-4 part series I have planned. And damn yeah it will be. Anyway, in order.
Windy, owner is Sakura Kinomoto. Only card she had the beginning.
Fly, owner is Sakura Kinomoto. Caught with windy card during first chapter.
Shadow, owner is Sakura Kinomoto. Caught with windy during second chapter.
Watery, owner is Sakura Kinomoto. Beaten with windy in third chapter.
Rain, owner is Sakura Kinomoto. Caught with watery during chapter four.
Wood, owner is Sakura Kinomoto. Resealed it's self into card form during chapter four.
Jump, owner is Sakura Kinomoto. Caught by Sakura during chapter five time skip.
Illusion, owner is Sakura Kinomoto. Seal by Sakura during chapter 5.
Silent, owner is Sakura Kinomoto. Sealed by Sakura with shadow during chapter six time skip.

So that's Sakura with 15 cards.
Naruto with 1 card.
Li with no card. Poor Li he better up his game.
Anyway... Chapter 13. Also, if anyone wants me to focus more on this fic now. Let me know. Because I'm heading back to warrior and hit the check point. So if you want a greater focus on this. I'll need enough to convince me so. And I have something really interesting to come. Anyway later!
