Thanks for all the support! And I'm sorry that I took a while to update. You know Christmas means last time shopping for presents, family time and less time on the computer. So I didn't really have time to update. I'll try to come up with the next one as soon I can! So enjoy this chapter. Oh and Chibi Ookami Tora about your guesses… humm… let's just say that you're really close… you almost got it right. And tomoyo-amethyst about yours, you've guessed it right, they will play matchmaker… lol. Well Enjoy!

Chapter 21:
Investigating
"Look" the guard pointed to the top of sculpture, the other looked and saw it too, but before any of them could do anything, it started glowing
"What's happening?!" one of them asked, but before the other could reply it disappeared
"How…" The other tried to speak shocked
"I don't know…" his partner said
"Like the last time" the other said
"We have to tell the authorities" his partner said
"Let's go" The other agreed

Kiyoshi's POVAfter Yamazaki got out of his shock state, we went downstairs and explained everything for his family and the girls. They of course thought that it was all just too Kawaii like Dadouji-san likes to say. Girls will always be the same. But anyway after this girly moment I decided to ask Yamazaki what we really wanted to know.
"Yamazaki, we did not only come here to discover what happened between Mihara-san and you. We also came here because we wanted to ask you something…" I said
"What's that?" Yamazaki asked confused
"It is about that lie thing…" I started
"What's about that?" He looked at his feet a little… well not really sad, but a bit frustrated
"So Yamazaki-kun… when did all of this start?" Kinomoto-san asked
"I'm not sure…" He looked from his feet to us "I only noticed that when I got home from that day at the museum"
"So you think it started there?" Syaoran asked
"Yeah… But I'm not sure. I did feel weird after you left with Elisabeth-san…" Yamazaki stopped talking as if he remembered something important "Talking about her. How's she? Is she still sleeping?" He asked. I could see that the others got a sad look immediately after he said that and decided to say something myself "She has a fever, but she must be ok soon"
"Oh I see" He noticed the looks on their faces.
"Well, I think we must get going. If you need some help, just call us" Hiiragizawa said obviously knowing that if we stayed there any longer he would know that something was wrong.
"Yeah! We promised that we would have lunch on Eriol's" Syaoran said
"Ok then. I'll show you guys the door" Yamazaki stood up. He walked us to the door and we said our goodbyes. But since it was still 10 o'clock we decided that we would go to the museum to see if we could find any clue about Libra, but nothing. We walked and walked through the whole museum, but everything was normal. And my cousin being as impatient as he is was the first one to complain.
"Guys there's nothing here! Let's go back and ask Yamazaki better. I mean it probably happened on his way home what will make it even more difficult…" He kept actually blabling about it, but I did not really pay attention mostly because I heard some voices
"I'm telling you… It's true I can't lie remember?"
"Guys Shut up and listen" I told them and to my surprise they all stopped to listen. I guess not even Syaoran was really paying attention to what he was saying.
"How can I know? I bet that you two are lying is not possible for a pan-scale to appear and then disappear right in front of your eyes and suddenly you couldn't lie" a guys who looked like he was the museum's manager said annoyed
"But it's true" Another guy with a guard uniform said
"I bet you weren't on your places and now are making up stories. It's ok, since nothing was stolen I'll just forget about it. But if you come up with this story again I'll have to fire you two" The manager walked away. And we looked at each other, maybe it really happened at the museum.
"C'mon Joe I knew he wouldn't believe us" the other guys who had been quiet said comforting his friend. Daidouji-san was fast she immediately went after them
"Excuse me, can I talk to you for a minute…" She said
"What do you want little girl?" the man named Joe asked
"I'm the president of my school's newspaper and I was investigating about the pan-scale mystery. I couldn't help but hear your conversation. Could you please tell me what happened?" She asked
"Do you actually believe on what we've said?" Joe asked
"Yes" She said
"Well then. Gary and I were doing our jobs like we always do, but then when we were at the garden I saw a shiny thing on the top of a statute. I told him, but he did not believe me and told me to stop lying, I saw that it was the pan-scale, but it disappeared all of sudden…" Joe said
"I just looked to see if it was true when it was disappearing, so we couldn't do much. After that Joe started to feel weird and after talking to him I came with the conclusion that he cannot lie." The other guy named Gary said
"Do still believe us?" Joe asked
"Yes… Well I think that's enough! Thank you very much!" Daidouji-san said. She walked back to us and asked "So what will we do about it?"
"I don't know let's go back to my house and maybe come back at night to try to at least see Libra" Hiiragizawa said. We just agreed. When we reached his house Kerberos had woken up and the lunch was already ready. We ate as Hiragizawa's parents told us their opinion. And I don't know how but I found myself wondering what would actually happen to Yamazaki and Mihara.
.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,..,.,.,.,.,.,..,.,.,.,.,.,..,,.,..,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,..,.,.,.,..,.,
Normal's POV"Chiharu, please let me explain…" Yamazaki walked after Chiharu"Takashi I don't wanna talk to you…" Chiharu couldn't help but let tears come down her face as she ran away from him. But Yamazaki promised himself that he would make she forgive him.
.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,..,.,.,.,.,.,..,.,.,.,.,.,..,,.,..,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,..,.,.,.,..,.,
Kiyoshi's POV againAt night we went to the museum and Daidouji-san dressed us up again. I don't really like that. I felt like I was a Barbie doll and I'm a guy. But at least she did one for her. I have to admit that this time it wasn't so bad. We were all wearing overcoats and hats like detectives. Mine were black and brown, Syaoran's were green and brown and Hiragizawa's were blue and brown. The girls were also wearing overcoats but they were also wearing black boots. Kinomoto's overcoat was pink and white and Daiduoji's violet. Kerberos and Spinel Sun were wearing mini-overcoats and hats. Both Black and white.
"Now that we've lost our time with those stupid clothes can we please enter?" I said already annoyed.
"Oh Li-san Believe when I say. Someday you'll really like it. Like Syaoran does" Daidouji-san said
"Actually Tommy I don't like it, but since you're like a sister to me, I do that. To tell you the truth sometimes you do act like one of my sisters" Syaoran said and I rolled my eyes it was actually true.
"Ok! Ok! Let's enter already" I said and for the first time they listened to me. We entered and went straight to the place where the guards said that they saw the pan-scale. But there wasn't any sigh of any pan-scale. We walked around, but nothing again.
"Hey! Suppi tell them that I've beat you on the video game today" Kerberos (A/N.: Kero and Suppi are on their false forms so that, they wouldn't call much attetion and it would be easier to hide, if they had any problems with the guards)
"Kerberos please stop lying to yourself and admit that I'm way better than you and I'll always be." Spinel Sun said
"Ok and you two quit fighting" Kinomoto said. They of course stopped, but not because Kinomoto said so. Because a shiny thing appeared right in front of us. After some seconds we could clearly see that it was the pan-scale. Like the guards said.
"Is that Libra?" I heard Daidouji-san ask
"I think so" Hiiragizawa said. We walked near it and Kinomot kneeled down to touch it, as she did so it stopped glowing. She took it and asked us "Is it really Libra?"
"I can't feel anything from it anymore" Hiiragizawa said
"But has to be it. If it isn't Libra then what it is? And what is Libra?" Kinomoto said frustrated
"Guys I feel… weird" Kerberos said. We looked at each other knowing what would happen next.
"Kero-chan! Who broke otau-san's glasses?" Kinomoto asked
"Me of course! Who else would do that" Kerberos said without realizing that he told the truth. "What?!" He slapped his mouth. "Why me?!"
"I think I know" Daidouji-san said "Remember that Day at the museum, what did Chiharu-chan tell Yamazaki-kun?" She asked
"Takashi how I wish you could stop lying"
"Takashi how I wish you could stop lying" I said
"Exactly! And remember what the guard said 'I told him, but he did not believe me and told me to stop lying'" She said
"And before it happened Spinel asked Kero-chan to stop lying to himself" Kinomoto-san said
"So if you ask someone to stop lying, Libra is going to make the person stop lying." Syaoran said
"Even if the person is telling the truth" Hiiragizawa added
"And there's more" Daidouji-san said "When it happened to Yamazaki-kun something else glowed"
"The painting" Syaoran said
"Yukito-san told that the pan-scale and that painting were found together" Kinomoto-san said
"Then let's go see if it has something to do with Libra" Daidouji-san said
"But we need a target! Someone that if happens to get cursed won't create suspects" I said. We all looked at Spinel Sun
.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,..,.,.,.,.,.,..,.,.,.,.,.,..,,.,..,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,..,.,.,.,..,.,
"Did you know that I went surfing last year when I went to Hawaii" Spinel Sun said
"Spinel stop lying, you've never been to Hawaii. In your real from you'd scare everybody and in your false from… well you'd also scare them because there's no way that a push toy can surf" Hiragizawa said as we walked near the panting and like we expected the pan-scale appeared and the painting glowed.
"Libra OUT" Hiiragizawa yelled
"So you've caught me" We heard a feminine voice say. We all looked at the painting, we saw the man moving and suddenly a woman started to get out of the painting and took the pan-scale.
"You're Clow's reincarnating, huh?" the woman said
"Yes, I am. Long time no see you Libra. You couldn't enter in objects the last time I saw you" Hiiragizawa said
"A friend taught me a spell, but it isn't anyone from the association if that's what you're thinking…" Libra said
"Association?" I asked
"Oh… you don't know? Then forget about it" Libra said "But anyway where's my suppose mistress's reincarnation?" It quickly changed the subject
"She's sleeping…" Kinomoto-san said
"Sleeping… and tha…"
"No! She's on that sleep if you can understand me" Hiiragizawa said
"Oh" Was all it could say
"But what about the pan-scale?" Syaoran asked
"Oh! That's my instrument. It kept moving around because it wasn't with me so it was trying to find me…but anyway I won't go to your side" Libra said
"Why?" I asked
"Because I wanna help people stop lying. I hate those people, they keep telling ridiculous things. I hate that and I wanna make them tell the truth" Libra said
"If we find a way to allow you to do that, you'll come to our side" Daidouji-san asked
"Maybe…" Libra said
The next day
"So did they accept Libra?" Hiiragizawa asked
"Yeah, now that's she's part of the police" Daidouji-san said. She had the brilliant idea to make Libra enter in the police so it can make people admit what they've done.
"And what about the courses?" Kerberos asked from Kinomoto-san's bag
"Leslie said that she can only take it off when Lizzie wake up" Daidouji said
"Leslie?" Syaoran asked
"Well… We couldn't say that her name is Libra so we're saying that it's Leslie." Daidouji explained
"Wow… Libra lying I never thought that I'd see that" Hiiragizawa said
"But hey how will she work if she's a mind?" Kinomoto-san asked
"Well… after Elisabeth wake up and it can enter on the box and then with Elisabeth's permission, it can leave and enter on it again on the end of the day without needing Elisabeth to do that at all" Hiiragizawa explained
"That's cool. I know Lizzie will love it" Kinomoto-san said "Oh, Hey Yamazaki-kun! Did you talk with her?" She asked after seeing Yamazaki, but after he ignored her, it became pretty obvious that it didn't go well
Elisabeth's POV
"I HATE YOU! HOW COULD YOU"
"IT'S NOT WHAT YOU'RE THINKING"
"Oh! It's not…. LIAR"
I couldn't stand it anymore. Why?
"Guys!" I tried, but they wouldn't hear me "Guys! Stop it" Nothing. Empty! Their hearts are empty I can feel it. They started to disappear in the darkness, and their voices started to fade away. I ran after them trying to caught them, but they were too fast and I was left alone in the darkness. I feel down to my knees crying and asking "Why?" When a light appeared, the light? I followed it… the light
But then I woke up. I was relived that it was only a nightmare. How many days I slept? I asked myself. I looked at my calendar 2 days. It wasn't that much. I was happy that it was done, but sad that someday it will happen. I needed fresh air. I went to the bathroom, took a quick shower and got dressed with the first thing I saw. I looked around the house Touya-kun and Sakura were probably on school and Fujitaka-san working. I looked on Sakura's room, but Kero wasn't there. I decided to leave a note saying I went out for a walk just in case that they got home before me.
I walked around not really paying attention to where I was going. My mind was too busy with those stupid nightmares. When I decided to look where I was I saw that I had gone to the park. I don't know why but we always end up here somehow. I laughed quietly to myself, but then sighed. Why does this has to happen with me? I asked myself again, but then I remembered that I do not have to sit here and keep thinking 'poor me' I have to think on a way to help the ones who will suffer, but I just can't think… I can't get this dream… I mean nightmare out of my mind.
"Ahhhhhhhh!" I screamed out loud, but then hit my head on the bench I was current sitting on making the people passing by think that I was crazy. I'm not only saying that because of the weird looks they've giving me, I can also hear really well what they're thinking.
"Carla…?"
Kiyoshi's POV
"So guys! How about we go all to my house and see Lizzie" Kinomoto-san suggested, mostly because she wanted to give Yamazaki and Mihara-san another change to work things out, not that Mihara-san was liking the idea of talking with Yamazaki again.
"Yes! Let's go" Daidouji-san said helping Kinomoto out. The others actually agreed, it looked like they were all worried about Elisabeth. Dammit why do I have to call her Elisabeth… after that argument I kinda started doing that without noticing. I went with them I don't know why. I could have just gone home, but I had to go with them! Ahhh! I'm going crazy!
"Man are you ok?" Yamazaki asked, I was too lost on my won thoughts that I did not notice that I was making a weird face.
"Humm… Yeah I'm ok. I was just thinking" I said, they all looked at me for a second but turned away when Kinomoto's cell phone rang.
"Hello?… Oh hey onni-chan, what's up?… WHAT?!… But how?… a note?… ok! I'll look for her… okay I'll call you… Bye" She hung up looking more worried than ever.
"What happened?" Syaoran asked
"Lizzie… She woke up and went for a walk all alone. She left a note." She said
"Did she say where's she was going?" Hiiragizawa asked
"No"
"When she'll come back?"
"No"
"We need to do something" Syaoran said
"Yeah, she can get hurt going out like this" Daidouji-san said.
"But where can she be?" Yamazaki asked
"Let's look on the park" Hiiragizawa said 'I had a vision she's there' he told us through telepathy. We went to the park and there she was sitting on a bench talking with the Libra mind and actually crying.
Elisabeth's POV
"Carla…?"
I turned around and saw Libra dressed on the police outfit. I looked at her surprised "Libra?"
"You're Carla's reincarnation right?" She asked "You have the aura as her"
"Yes, I am…" I said "What happened?" I finally asked
"You don't know?" She asked me
"I mean… I did feel your aura on the museum before I fainted, but… I thought that It was only my imagination" I said
"Well It wasn't I was hidden in that painting and now here I am" She said
"And what about the police outfit?" I asked
"Oh! That well Alan's reincarnation said that I could make people tell the truth working for the police and… well. I thought that maybe I can do that. If you allow me of course…" She said
"That's awesome. I'm so happy for you" I faked a smile
"The only problem is that I'll have to say that my name is Leslie and you know that I hate lying" Libra looked away from me
"Yeah, but when you lie for a good purpose, it's not a big deal" I said
"Sort of" She looked back at me and after some seconds she finally asked what I knew she'd "What's wrong?"
"Nothing" I lied
"I know that you're lying… Is it about that dream…"
"Nightmare" I corrected her
"You know you can talk to me" She said
"No, I can't" I said and she looked at me surprised "I'm sorry… but I can't tell anyone about it. It's not the end of the world, but it still hurts so much" I felt tears run down my face and fall down on my shirt wetting it. To my surprise Libra hugged me and whispered quietly "I know that you can't tell me, but still I want you to know that I'm here for you. I've been locked inside the box for years and years, but still I couldn't blame Carla. While my siblings were so angry I was one of the only ones who would still by her reincarnation side, your side. At first when I left the box I was confused. So I hid in the painting… when I was there I was thinking if it could be the same… and now that I saw you. I remembered all the good times with Carla and I'm glad to be here"
"I'm not Carla, but I'll try to a good mistress… no I'll try to be your friend" I said
"I'm glad" She whispered
"Lizzie?" I heard Sakura's voice. I turned around to see Sakura, Syaoran, Tomoyo, Eriol, Kiyoshi, Yamazaki-kun, Chiharu-chan, Rika-chan and Naoko-chan.
"Guys… what are you doing here?" I asked
"What we're doing here? Are you crazy? You got so worried, you could have gotten hurt going out like that" Sakura said hugging me
"Sakura relax I'm ok" I said
"No you're not Elisabeth" She looked at me, it wasn't a good sigh she called me 'Elisabeth' "You're crying what happened?" She said
"Too much on my mind" I said simply turning away so she wouldn't see more tears falling down my face.
"Elisabeth let's go home" Sakura said
"I'm ok"
"Go Elisabeth. You need to rest" Libra told me. I looked at her and she repeated "Please go. I'll talk to you later. I promise"
"Ok" I hugged her goodbye and let my fiends drag me to Sakura's house. When we got there the first thing they did was make me go to bed again, but I didn't want to and it was on that moment that I heard something.
'Why can't I stop loving him?' That was weird who was thinking that I asked myself. 'He told me that he doesn't like me… but why?' I looked around the room and I saw that it was Chiharu's thoughts. Did she and Yamazaki have a fight while I was sleeping. I decided to listen to Yamazaki's thoughts. 'I have to do something…. To make Chiharu forgive me… or else I'll lose her forever' That was enough. 'Guys what happened to Yamazaki-kun and Chiharu-chan?' I asked through telepathy. 'Chiharu asked Yamazaki-kun if he liked her and he said no.' 'But then he realized that he couldn't say that he likes her because he loves her. However she doesn't let him explain' they told me and I rolled my eyes. So classic… now I had to do something. And of course my brain worked really fast and I suddenly had an idea 'Tommy, big bro?'
'Hai/ What?'
'You have a concert for the choir this Friday, right?'
'Yeah, why?'
'Do you have a song?'
'No, we were going to chose one of the songs we have been working on'
'Well… would you play a song that I wrote'
'Is it for what I'm thinking?'
'Yep'
'Totally'
'Great'
Friday
"Are you sure it is going to work?" Yamazaki-kun asked worried
"For the millionth time. Yes' I said, it was getting annoyed.
'And now we'll enjoy a special presentation of two amazing students of the Tomoeda Elementary School. Daidouji Tomoyo and Hiiragizawa Eriol will play a song written by another student Arroz Elisabeth.'
I could see Tomoyo and Eriol enter on the stage. They were both wearing formal clothes. Eriol went straight to the piano and he was wearing a kind of black tuxedo that I knew that Tomoyo designed. And Tomoyo a black dress sleeveless which ended on her knees. Before star singing Tomoyo took the microphone and said "This song is dedicated to my friends Yamazaki Takashi and Mihara Chiharu. They've been fighting for a while and Elisabeth wrote this song to describe this situation on both points of view" She looked at the public one more time and started singing
[Tomoyo/Eriol/Both]
When I think about you and me
I get a little weak in the knees
I feel the flutter of a butterfly
And Sometimes I can hardly breath
At this part of the song Eriol started to sing along.
So baby (baby)
Hold me now(Hold me)
I can't tell if I am lost or found
(Cause I've been living in a dream
And I don't want to wake up)
Tomoyo suddenly started walking on Eriol direction, but still singing.
And I don't know how to let you in
Or let you go
I'm so vulnerable
Hold me now (Hold me)
Please baby don't let me down
Eriol who had been looking from his piano to Tomoyo the whole time finally looked at the public and smiled before singing again.
(Cause I've been living in a dream
And I don't want to wake up)
I know for sure that you're the cure
Coming down with a case of 'I love you more'
I don't want to be vulnerable
Next to me I could see Chiharu in tears and Yamazaki smiling, but he knew that it wasn't over yet.
When it comes to this book of us
I think it's time now to turn the page
But I don't want to say I love you first
But my heart it can't hardly wait
'OMG, I never thought about it. Maybe I love him…' I heard Chiharu think. Great it was working.
So baby (baby)
Hold me now(Hold me)
I can't tell if I am lost or found
(Cause I've been living in a dream
And I don't want to wake up)
And I don't know how to let you in
Or let you go
I'm so vulnerable
On the stage Tomoyo approached to the piano and touched Eriol's shoulder.
Hold me now (Hold me)
Please baby don't let me go
(Cause I've been living in a dream
And I don't want to wake up)
I know for sure that you're the cure
Coming down with a case of 'I love you more'
I don't want to be vulnerable
After singing the chorus, she sat down next to him as he sang his solo. And they got lost in their little world.
I don't want to see you hurt
Don't you worry baby girl
Take my hand, understand I'm afraid
To tell you the very worst that you want to hear me
say
When you say it here tonight
Will you mean it for life
Will you tell me everything that your heart is really
feeling for me so I won't be vulnerable
Tomoyo stood up once again. Apparently remembering where she was and went to the other side of the stage.
Cause I've been living in a dream
And I don't want to wake up
And I don't know how to let you in
Or let you go
I'm so vulnerable
After that she came back next to Eriol and they sang the last part.
Hold me now (Hold me)
Please baby don't let me go
(Cause I've been living in a dream
And I don't want to wake up)
I know for sure that you're the cure
Coming down with a case of 'I love you more'
I don't want to be vulnerable
Eriol still played for a while finishing the song. And that was the cue I had to give Yamazaki-kun a micro, he looked at me surprised. I sighed and whispered for him to say something. The moment he touched the micro was the moment the stage went dark thanks to Sakura, of course, and Yamazaki took the chance and said "I'm here to say sorry to Chiharu. I have been confused about my feeling lately and after thinking about it with my friend's help I realized that I do not only like her, but I love her" He paused for a minute and looked at Chiharu again "Will you get me back?" He asked and of course she said yes.
"Yes! I love you two Takashi!" She hugged him
