The day I own Card Captors will also be the day that Arnold Schwartzenegger because a governor.

Wait...that already happened.

Ah hell, either way, I won't ever own Card Captors.

(12)Um…I – I…

The voices blended around one single note while others varied beautifully around triplets and were held on the single syllable. Yours however, faintly sounded in the background, barely audible, but there. If anyone were to single out your particular voice would find that your voice has a particular eerie enchanting quality to it. Closing your eyes, you started to sing from your diaphragm and your soul while putting a little bit more effort into your singing. The result was barely noticeable, but remarkable, your tender timbre of voice sounded ever so more beautifully.

"All right class, that's enough for today. I'm going to go get more booze," your choir leader's shrill voice cut through the air while the papers around you rustled restlessly. You licked your dry lips irritably while brushing it off and turning around to gather your sparse belongings. You wanted to continue singing, you had just found your comfort singing zone, and you could have done better than that.

"Hana-chan," you mentally cringed at that piercing tone of your choir conductor before turning around to face her head on. You personally found it hard to believe that a person with such an irritating screech was also the owner of one of the most beautiful singing voices you had ever heard.

"Nani?" you asked softly while your choir leader bombarded you with an assault as to why you were not contributing to the choir. After half an hour of your choir teacher berating you, you stepped meekly outside of the classroom with your head down refusing to meet the eyes of anybody else.

"Himitsu-san?" someone called out, you briskly walked away as fast as you could without sprinting or jogging.

"Himitsu-san!"

You were full out running now, you did not want anybody to see the tears that were falling down your face, seeing as you could never handle someone's critics well, especially if they were yelled at you. You turned the corner, planning to hide in the washroom to cry your brains out…

"Himitsu," you felt a hand around your arm, which forced you to turn around and stop.

You refused to look up, you refused to let anyone see the sorry state you were in right now, you did not want to face any questions, you had problems with simple everyday speech already, and-and…

"Himitsu-san, you sing beautifully," you raised your head slowly to meet coal black eyes framed by a pair of thick-frame glasses. "Don't let our teacher discourage you. You're…bu-"

"O-NAY-JIANG!" was all you heard before you toppled forward while experiencing a bone crushing hug. "GRAB! LATCH ON! MAINTAIN PRESSURE!"

You smiled before grabbing Mei-Mei-san's arms and pulling them into a heart-felt but awkward hug, while she squeezed you all the tighter. Suddenly letting you go, you swayed off-balance, but the person beside you clasped your upper-arms and steadied you. Staring once again into the coal black eyes, you thanked him.

"It was not a problem Himitsu-san," the boy said simply before bowing and introducing himself as Yamaguchi Tobi. "Would you like me to-to, walk you home? I-I need help in math, and you seem to be getting decent marks, of course, nothing on Tsukishiro-san and Kinomoto-san, demo…"

You smiled sweetly at him before saying, "I'd love to Yamaguchi-san."

(One week later.)

"Hi-Himitsu-san?"

You mentally groaned while turning around to face Yamaguchi-san and smiling slightly while he had yet another math question, which was thankfully cut off by Takaneshi-sensei's entrance. You were not listening intently to Takaneshi-sensei, but you were absolutely sure Wong-san was when she sat bolt upright in her chair and was leaning forward expectedly. You slowly slid your eyes shut, hoping that you would fall asleep before class started so you could avoid talking to him. He was a sweet kid and all, but you just refused to believe that anybody, especially a boy, was THAT bad at math. You felt the dreary numbness of sleep slowly wash over you while you plunged headfirst into the ever-pleasant darkness of sleep.

Of course that did not last long. Because almost five minutes later you were shaken awake by Mei-Mei-san to be informed that the teacher was about to start the lesson. You gave her a tired smile before lifting your head up for today's English lesson. Hopefully it will pass more quickly than usual before a note was passed roughly in a curled lump onto your desk. Opening it you read a simple line.

So you coming to this field trip or what? – Wong.

"I can't believe you slept through such important news!" Mei-Mei-san exclaimed heatedly during your lunch break.

"Wong-san, I do not see how a camping trip would be so vital to my life."

"Don't call me that! And besides, are you freaking crazy? This could be experience of a lifetime! And-"

You quietly ate your lunch in a dignified matter while Mei-Mei-san was standing beside you waving her hands in an over-exaggerated pose of worry and stress. You promptly ignored her while you ate her wonton soup. Hearing the soft crunch of leaves, you cautiously opened your now blue eyes open and slowly looked up to see the face of which those feet belonged to.

"Konnichiwa Yukito-san," you greeted softly but nonetheless enthusiastically while he smiled at you and stared at Mei-Mei-san for a while before sitting down. You did not react while he obtained his massive lunch from his school backpack, and by now you kind of expected it, it was almost as normal as breathing.

For the past month or so since you came here, ever since that night you had helped Yukito-san go home, he had been eating his lunch with you, and sometimes Kinomoto-san would join as well if he did not have his football practice and baseball (which he took up on a whim) practice by himself. Silently you pondered how he was able to practice baseball by himself up until out of the corner of your eye you saw Yamaguchi-san.

"Oh no," you thought mentally before sighing suddenly wishing that you could disappear and hide until he went away.

"Oh hello Yamaguchi-sang, I'm sorry, but O-nay-jiang can't be with you right now because she has to help me with something, come on O-nay-jiang," before you knew it, you were being dragged away by the collar. Glancing back, you saw Yukito-san jogging along to keep up with the two of you while Mei-Mei-san was briskly leading the way. When she deemed she was far away enough, she stopped abruptly and turned around to face you. "I know you hate constructive criticism O-nay-jiang, but grow a freaking spine! Otherwise he'll stalk you for a damn long time you know?"

"But," you started slowly looking at the floor. "He was such a nice person, complementing me on my singing, and he always saying I'm smart and…"

"Guess who has a crush on Yama-sang? Doo-da, doo-da…guess who has a crush on Yama-san? O-nay-jiang does," at this point you started chasing Mei-Mei-san across the school yard while Yukito-san looked on in bewilderment. "She does his homework all day, what can I say? O-nay-jiang has a crush on Yama-sang, oh doo-da day."

"Wong! Stop singing that song this instant or else – ow!" you yelled once you rounded a corner following Wong. You were suddenly facing the sky. Groaning you got up slowly while rubbing the back of your head. "Itai."

"Hanayaru-chan?" you heard a low masculine voice ask. Looking up you saw that it was Kinomoto-san whom had already gotten up and brushed himself. Smiling, he extended a hand towards you, which you gratefully accepted with a small smile of your own. You looked at him questionably while he quirked an eyebrow at you and asked, "So…you have a crush on this 'Yama-san' do you?"

"O-nay-jiang," Mei-Mei-san sang sweetly before you could answer. "Guess who has something to say to you?" and with that comment, she threw Yamaguchi-san in front of you and then dragged Kinomoto-san away. Silently, you hoped that whatever Yamaguchi-san had to say, was not embarrassing so that way if Mei-Mei-san happened to be spying on you…

"Konnichiwa Himitsu-san," Yamaguchi-san said shyly with a hint of red on his cheeks. You looked at him curiously wondering what he had to say. "Ano…Ore wa…"

At this point you seriously wondered if he was going to have a breakdown because he was turning so red and stammering so much.

"Himitsu-san, ore wa, can you, I – Itai!"

"Out with it already you pansy!" Wong-san shouted while you saw a pebble clatter to the ground.

"I really, really like you Himitsu," Yamaguchi-san finally spit out. "Can you…?"

"Okay," you stated meekly, while you saw Yamaguchi-san glow with happiness. "I really like you too Yamaguchi-san," you said to the floor.

Tipping your head up you stared straight into his framed coal black eyes while he looked into your forest green contacts, "You just made my day," was the last thing you heard before you felt something soft at your lips. You closed your eyes slowly enjoying the feeling while in your mind you felt two auras flare and at the same time you heard Mei-Mei-san shout, "Oi! Who ate my hwuen-dwuen soup?!"

Pulling away quickly, you smiled at Yamaguchi-san before giving him a peck on the cheek and saying, "Gotta run."

"TOMBO! Get back here!"

About ten minutes later, you were sitting in Yamaguchi-san's lap while leaning against his chest, trying to catch your breath while Wong-san was eating your lunch in retaliation to you eating hers. She was happily eating the noodles with her own set of black chopsticks, with an odd gold square at the top, singing odd songs of her own invention. One of Yamaguchi-san's hands was around your waist, while the other was distractedly caressing your hair. You yawned, letting out an odd "mew" at the end, while trying to keep your eyes open, you heard a soft voice beside your ear whispering it was okay to sleep, and you heeded it, unable to stay awake any longer.

(Yamaguchi-san's P.O.V)

Yamaguchi-san smiled when he felt the weight of Himitsu's body slump against him in her slumber. His right hand stopped caressing her hair for a moment before he wrapped both arms around her small and short figure and buried his nose into her hair. Underneath the smell of the shampoo was a faint but unmistakable smell of sake. He breathed the sweet scent in before exhaling slowly, enjoying the smell that was truly Himitsu. Then he frowned upon realization.

"Wong-san," Yamaguchi-san saw her visibly cringe before turning around. "Himitsu drinks?"

He could see that Wong-san was carefully considering her words before replying honestly, "Yes. I've smelt it off of her recently, and she thinks that nobody notices. But I've been around her too long and too often to not notice." They both fell silent for a while before Wong-san stated, "I'm a bit worried about her. I think…I think she's trying to hide or forget something. But I'm not quite sure what…"

Once again they fell silent while Wong-san was slurping away at her rightfully claimed noodles while Yamaguchi-san hugged Himitsu-san tighter to him inhaling her sweet sake scent before exhaling slowly. Smiling to himself, for once he did not wish that he was someone smarter, stronger, or better looking, but just himself, which was a nice change. For a moment he thought about why he liked Himitsu-san, she was not the prettiest (in all honesty she was quite plain with all her acne scars), and although she was good at math she was horrible at the sciences, she was not a smart person at all. She was not the most patient either, often known for having random tantrums at science and English. Yet…

"She is one of the kindest people I've ever met," Yamaguchi-san thought earnestly. "I think that is why I love her."

"Oi, Yamaguchi-san," Wong shouted. "You dare hurt O-nay-jiang in any way," she threatened with her chopsticks pointing towards him, "I'll personally rearrange your face in such a way that even your own mother won't recognize you."

Eyes widening, Yamaguchi-san nodded, and kept Wong-san's advice at the back of his mind, trying not to show any other form of concern on his face, fearful that if he showed the tiniest milligram of doubt a little hellion by the name of Wong Xiao Mei would come after him. Inhaling Himitsu-san's sweet scent of sake, Yamaguchi Tobi smiled softly and lovingly down towards his newfound girlfriend, with thoughts of, "I think I love her," drifting through his head.

Ears perking at the sound of footfalls upon grass, Yamaguchi-san looked up to see both Kinomoto-san and Tsukishiro-san looking down on the sleeping Himitsu-san that was gathered snugly in his arms. Unconsciously Yamaguchi-san hugged her tighter towards him possessively while her sake scent drifted around in his nostrils temptingly. He unconsciously wondered what Himitsu-san would be like while drunk. Blinking up towards the two unusual males (one being unusually tall, while the other one has silver hair), he silently questioned why they were there. Their response was to blink and walk away as quickly as they could without looking too awkward about it.

"Fuck, there's sweet and sour sauce! I hate sweet and sour sauce!"

(Kinomoto Touya-san's P.O.V)

"Just as soon as I broke up with him," Touya-san thought irritably while setting the pace that Yukito-san was following him at. "Just after I break up with him, and realize that our relationship was nothing outside of close family, she had to go off with another man and mess up my mind more than it already is. Why is this bothering me so much anyway? I don't like her all that much. Sure, she may have saved my sister and not remember it, and she isn't as annoying as all the other girls in the school, but…why am I even thinking of her?! I should stop thinking about her now and…"

"To-ya-san," Yukito-san said, snapping Touya-san out of his thoughts.

"Nani?"

"You're jealous aren't you?"

Drawing his lips into his mouth, his mouth became a thin line before he realized that he had no adequate reply for Yukito-san. He hated how obvious his emotions became after he and Yukito-san realized their feelings for each other, only to break up about two months later. Once during their odd relationship of sorts, Yukito-san had said that often he could not read what Touya-san was thinking or saying. Often during their relationship, Touya relished the fact that he could keep Yukito guessing; nowadays this did not seem to be the case. Sighing in defeat he ruffled his hair in an exasperated manner while looking down at Yukito-san with guilt written across his handsome features. The question was why did he feel guilty? There was nothing to be guilty about…or was there…?

"Don't you think it is a bit soon to…?"

"I'm not going to get in the way of their relationship, in fact I'm rather happy that someone as plain as Himitsu-san was able to…"

"Of course To-ya-san," Yukito quipped with a serene smile while popping a Koala March biscuit into his mouth. "Of course."

"Pin Tzai!" someone shouted while she jumped onto Touya-san's back and hugging him around the neck, scaring the living breath out of him.

"What the-who? Get off!"

"Ah fine, you didn't have to be so mean about it," she said while jumping off of his back and brushing herself off. It was at this point that Touya-san realized that it was none other than Wong Xiao Mei for the unwelcome intrusion. "So are you going to the field trip mentioned in class today?"

"Ano…Orewa…"

At this point Wong Xiao Mei held up her hand and told Touya-san that he did not have to answer her question if he did not have one or did not want to. With a shrug of her shoulders Wong Xiao Mei-san spun around in a circle, skipped away from the two, and started singing a song in English unknown to both Yukito-san and Touya-san.

"Because, we're animaniacs! And we're zany to the max! So just sit down and relax, we'll put baloney in your sacks, we're animaniacs!"

Both Touya-san and Yukito-san stared at Wong Xiao Mei in amazement before looking at each and sharing different looks. Touya-san was looking at Yukito-san with a mix of amazement and bewilderment while Yukito-san smirked before the two of them started chuckling at Wong Xiao Mei's antics. After all, with all that had happened, Touya-san needed something to take his mind off of Himitsu-san.

But I doubt that he would ever admit that.


"Nani" means what.

"O-nay-jiang" is Wong Xiao Mei's way of saying older sister in Japanese. Do not learn Japanese from my brutal slaughter of Romanji due to Wong's character. Remember, Wong is a foreigner to Japan.

"Grab. Latch On. Maintain. Pressure" is the unofficial acronym for "glomp."

"[name-sang" is Wong's way of saying "san."

The song that Wong makes up about Himitsu liking Yamaguchi is sung to the tune of Camp-down lady sing this song (and I'm not even sure if I sung that right at all).

"Konnichiwa" ... if you need help on that one, you really need to get out more.

"Itai" is similar to "ow."

"Hwuen-dwuen" transliterated version of "wonton."

"Tombo" means theif.

"Pin Tzai" transliteration of how "bonsai" is pronounced in Mandarin.

"Ano...Orewa" means "Um...I..."

If you don't know the animaniacs theme song, that means one of two things. You are either not North American, or you're way too young for this fanfic. If it's the latter, get your ass out of here you runt.
