To-Charly. I used to know a girl called Charly, it was pronounced Charlay though, but it was spelled without the second A. Yes the rewrite will just be correcting mistakes; I don't want to add anymore scenes. I think the flow of the story is fine the way it is. And LOL I just got out of school. (YEAH no more high school for me!) And I'm taking half a year break before I go to college. *Smiles*. I noticed more mistakes in Glacier. (Hey I wrote it in a notepad doc. And when I moved it to word, it said 'There are too many errors for word to detect.' So it wouldn't help me. : ( . I wrote Glacier one morning when I was dead tried. (So I expected mistakes.) About which will be posted first, Probably Glacier because I have the whole story planned out, while the SnS crossover I only have the basic idea, (for now) No I didn't get the idea for the magic sucking from SnS. The idea for Mayumi sucking magical energy was from Shugo Chara! Thanks
To-xCrazyKindOvWeirdx. Not hell as in the place. The officer was using it as an adjective. As in horrid suffering. When am I going to post Glacier? Well when I finish writing chapter one probably. (The preview was only part of chapter 1.) Thanks
To-3eliic.X. You actually got me liking that song, "Crush". Mind control would be the closest to what Charity is. (Key word is Closest) Thanks
To-HappyBlossom. I don't really consider him a psycho killer, but he is pretty close. The guy she was kissing is of no importance. (For he is dead.) He was the same guy that witnessed Misa's mom's death. (Mr. Unnamed guy.) That actually happens in real life. People will fall for someone without realizing it. It mostly happens when the people are good friends already; they do see that they care for the other more than a friend. And If I told you how many people died, it would kill some of the suspense. I'm so sorry I did not mean to say that Touya or Yukito would die. I was trying to say they appear in part 2. The person who dies in the beginning of part 2 is one of these, Kaiser, Knight, Eriol, and Syaoran. No Sakura doesn't know who Yukito is.
To-Princess-Christina-Ark. It is just a coincidence, the only people I have told that are my friends. And they all dislike fan fiction. (They think I spend way too much time with it. And sometimes tell me I should stop. : ( . Speaking of coincidences, this is a really freaky one. One of the friends her name is Jennifer Rose Davis. And in her school there is another Jennifer Rose Davis. And both girls were born on the same day and at the same hospital, and they are not related. Breaking Glass is about a murder that took place. The whole book tells you why it happens. And it doesn't tell you who killed the person, or really why, tell the last page. It would be fun to do that post a chapter everyday, so when you get back on you have like 7 or some chapters. LOL. But I'm going to be busy, so that is a no no. (Stupid busyness.) My grandma skipped school one time just because they felt like it. They spent time around the shopping mall. But if you did that nowadays you would get caught like instantly. Yes Charity is still under the guy's spell. (Poor her) I love that clip. IT is SO funny, and so fake, but that is what makes it funny. My older brother showed it to me like two or so years ago. I love the GS/GSD songs. I have almost all of them on my cpu. The guy doesn't really care for Arietta dating Syaoran; he just wants to prevent something else. I wasn't sure about the audio quality; I was listening through headphones so it is not easy to tell how good it is. I love cliffies! Cliffhangers rock!
To-Tallie14. Yeah I went overbroad with songs, but who cares, don't like it skip over it.
To-TheMaskedGirl. Thanks, and cool name.
To-PinkHeartSakura. Thanks, and I understand. I'm the exact opposite of you, I can't stand reading stories that are less than 50,000 words. Thank you for the compliment. The answer to that question will be found in this chapter.
To-Alera08. Thanks, *dark smile* that statement fits more with this chapter. LOL. *dark smile* . How did you do that? The heart icon I mean.
To-mitsuki1346. I didn't use "You are my Love" because of the lyrics. The Lyrics referenced to TRC, talking about memory and other things. And I just don't really image this story Sakura singing that song, doesn't sound like her. (She is really different than Saku from TRC)
This Chapter includes mentions of rape and child abuse. I do not approve these things. I find them deplorable and anyone who does them is sick person.

Chapter Twenty
End with a Bang
Young 8 year old Arietta ran excitedly into the house. "Mommy, daddy look what I got on my test!" she cried out in delight.
Her father smiled down at Arietta. "Wow, a 98 that is wonderful," he told her.
A snort was heard coming from Arietta's mother, "A 98! That is pathetic; only a 100 and above deserve praise!" she yelled.
Her father patted Arietta gently on the head. "You tried your best that is what counts," he comforted the crying girl.
"That means nothing!" her mother hollered. "Both sides of your family always got perfect grades! You have to right to be my child!"
Arietta began crying. Her dad embraced and comforted her. "Don't worry about it; 98 is just as good as 100,"
"What are you talking about Luke, 98 isn't close to 100! 98 means she is just like any normal brat!" Her mother yelled.
"Arietta why don't you go play in your room for a while," her dad said softly. Arietta sniffled and nodded, before running to her room. Her dad turned and glared at his wife. "Morgan what is wrong with you!? A 98 doesn't matter; it doesn't matter what grade our daughter gets."
"That isn't my daughter, she hasn't earned the right. She isn't worthy!" Morgan hollered.
"She is our daughter!" Luke yelled fiercely.
"That child doesn't have the right to be our child. She is just like a freeloading worthless brat!"
Luke clenched his fists before slapping his wife. "That is our daughter you are taking about!"
"That thing doesn't have the right!" Morgan spat venomously.
Arietta watched through a crack in the door, tears running down her face. Mom and dad are always fighting, and it is all my fault. They get into fights because of me. It is because I'm a failure, because I get bad grades. Dad and mom are always unhappy. If I weren't such a horrid being they would be happy. If only I wasn't born, then everyone would be happy.
Arietta's tears ran down her face like a river. If I wasn't born, mom would be happy and smile. And dad wouldn't get into fights with mom, and he would be happier. If only, I wasn't born, if only.
If only I could turn back time, if only. Arietta sat down and hugged her knees to her face. Maybe mom and dad would be happier if I got good grades. Maybe then we could be happy, we could be a happy family, we could be a family.
Three weeks later
Arietta sat nervously at her desk as the teacher handed back the latest test. The teacher placed the sheet of paper on Arietta's desk. Arietta could stop the smile that beamed on face when she saw the perfect 44/40 written on the page. She had gotten every question right, even the four extra questions. This will make mom and dad happy. Now there will be no more fighting.
Arietta quickly got her books ready and took off heading for home. She smiled as she ran the whole way. With this we will become a family, a normal happy family.
When she arrived home her father was just coming out of the front door. "Daddy look at what I got on the test!" she shouted cheerfully. She then noticed the serious look on her dad's face.
Her dad bent down in front of her. She noticed the bags inside her dad's car. "Where are you going daddy?"
He hugged Arietta, "Arietta I'm sorry," he whispered as he hugged her. "This is a terrible thing, and I wish I didn't have to do it. But I will be back soon," he cried. "I will be back to take you away before you know it. I will take you away from here." He let go of Arietta and walked away. He got into the car and drove off.
"Dad don't leave!" Arietta screamed running after the car. "I will do better! I will get better grades! I won't be in you or mom's way! Don't leave! Dad!"
Morgan watched from the window. "Demon child, you can never make anyone happy. You can only cause misfortune and pain." You ruined our love for each other. Well now I have you, what will you do now Luke-kun. I have your beloved brat, and you don't even have visiting rights. By the time you see her again, she will be so shattered you won't want to have anything to do with her, and then our love will come back for you will see just what that demon did to us.
Four years later
12 year old Arietta watched with a passive face as her mom's boyfriend moved into their house. He slightly crept her out, but she chose to just ignore him. Everyday after school Arietta would sit by the window and look out it at the road that ran in front of the house.
"Might as well just forget about it," her mother hissed at her. "He isn't coming back. And you know why; it is because he hates you. That is why he left, because he couldn't stand you. He hated you!"
"Shut up!" Arietta yelled. "Dad loved me!"
"Tsk, tsk, tsk," her mother scolded. "How wrong you are, if he loved you why hasn't he visited or even called in the last four years."
"I'm going to bed," Arietta whispered softly trying to stop the tears that were welling up in her eyes.
Arietta was awoken by the sound of her door creaking open in the middle of the night. She was about to turn on her side and turn on the light when a hand grasped her neck. Arietta eyes widen with fear.
Her attacker gripped her neck tightly as he flung the blankets and sheets off the bed. "I love young ones," he attacker whispered. He pulled out a knife from behind his back. "Scream all you want your mother doesn't care," he laughed.
He began using the knife to rip away Arietta's clothes. Help me! Someone; Dad come back and save me like you promised! Save me!
Morgan could hear Arietta crying out a screaming while she sat on the couch in the living room. She laughed as she drank a bottle of beer. Hurry Luke-kun come back and see what your daughter is like. She left out a crazy vile laugh.
Two weeks later.
Arietta walked through the hallways of the high school. The other teenagers whispered as she walked by. "Look there is the slut girl who has sex with her mom's boyfriend," a girl whispered.
"What a whore, I mean she is only twelve, she is an underage prostitute," another whispered.
"Hey whore; want some more meat!" the captain of the soccer team yelled at her. "We are always looking for a good time!"
"She probably wants every guy in school, and that still wouldn't be enough!" A cheerleader teased. "What a slut!"
A guy on the basketball winked at Arietta, "If you are looking for a quick quickie just come to the guys locker room, we don't mind whores, we welcome them and just enter in," he mocked.
Arietta couldn't stop the tears that flooded out of her eyes. "Look she is trying to pretend that this stuff isn't true!" Another girl shouted. Arietta ran down the hallway and into the girl's bathroom.
She ran into one of the stalls and sat their and cried. It is not true! It isn't!
Two years later.
Arietta was putting away her books when her teacher and the teacher for 9th grade walked up to her. "Fox-san I was wondering if you wouldn't mind tutoring," her teacher told her. "He isn't in your class he is in the grade below. He normal gets good grades but he has started failing lately, and his mother has requested he get a tutor."
Arietta frowned before sighing, "I guess I can tutor him." Then I won't be at home for at least another hour. "Who am I tutoring?"
"His name is Syaoran Li, and after school he hangs out either on the soccer field or in the gym," the teachers told her.
Great I will have to endure the sports teams making fun of me again. "I will do it but on one condition. I'm only tutoring him for two weeks," Arietta told the teachers. "If he still needs help after that you will have to find someone else."
"Done," the teachers replied before smiling and exited the room.
Arietta let out a sigh, I guess better go find Li-san. Arietta finished putting away her books before heading out of the room. She walked down the hallway till she reached the gym doors. She took a deep breath and let it out. It will only be for two weeks, just ignore the comments for that time. You can do this. Just ignore them, and the things Li-san will say.
Arietta reached for the handle. She took another deep breath before opening the door. Arietta walked into the gym. Looking around the room she saw many teens. Just great the soccer team is here.
"I'm looking for Syaoran Li-san," she whispered. Everyone in the room turned and looked at her. "I'm looking for Li-san," she said almost silently. She took another breath, "I'm looking for Li-san," she called out.
"Hey look the geek is looking for wolf," one of the members on the soccer team called out.
"It will be unrequited love, so just forget about it," one of them teased.
"Even wolf isn't that desperate," another mocked.
"Just shut up!" Arietta cried.
At that moment Syaoran and Kaiser walked into the gym. Syaoran felt bad for the girl who was getting teased by his fellow teammates. "Hey knock it off!" he yelled at them.
All the other soccer team members stared oddly at their co-captain. Kaiser saw their odd looks and stepped up, "Alright if you have time to make comments, instead run 10 laps!" he ordered.
"Alright captain," they called out before exiting the gym.
Syaoran walked over to Arietta, "Are you ok?" he asked. She nodded her head, "What are you doing here anyway?"
"I'm looking for Li-san," she whispered.
"I'm Syaoran Li," he told her. "Why are you looking for me?"
"I'm your tutor," she answered.
Syaoran let out a groan, "Damn, that means they denied my request to have Kaiser be my tutor." Syaoran then realized what he had just said, "Not that there is anything wrong with you being my tutor."
"It is okay," she told him. "Let's just get started."
"Ok," he replied before walking over to his backpack and taking out his book.
They sat down and worked on the subject for an hour before calling it quits and packing up. "We will be studying everyday after school for two weeks," she told him.
"Ok, Fox-san," he replied before walking away.
Arietta sighed before walking down the street. I guess not everyone on the soccer team is bad. Li-san is actually pretty nice. He stood up for me when I was being teased.
Arietta thought about a lot of things as she walked to her house. She noticed her mom's boyfriend's car parked in the driveway. She sighed before walking up to the front door and used her key to get inside.
She let herself in and headed to her room. Upon entering her room she was thrust against the wall. "We haven't done this in a while," her attacker laughed.
Please no! Someone help, dad, Li-san!
Syaoran tapped his foot as he waited for Arietta. She hadn't shown up for their tutor session, and now he was getting worried. He decided to look around for her before going home.
Syaoran looked around the grounds. It was almost an hour after school had ended and almost no one was around the school. He thought for a second he heard the sound of distant crying. Syaoran decided to investigate, and sure enough he saw a girl crying. As he got closer he noticed that the girl was Arietta.
"Fox-san what is wrong?" he asked.
"Li-san," Arietta cried looking up at him from where she was sitting.
Syaoran put his arms around Arietta and hugged her, "There, there it will be alright," he whispered. "Everything will be alright," he told her as he comforted her as she cried.
Present Day
Syaoran began looking back at the door to the auditorium every now and then. Arietta still hadn't returned and he was getting a little worried. It was the final person now; Arietta had been gone over half an hour.
Syaoran was about to get up and look for her when she entered to auditorium. She walked down the aisle with a blank look on her face. "Where were you?" asked Syaoran.
"Bathroom," she answered in an emotionless tone. "I have something I want to show you," she told him.
"Right now?" he asked.
"Yes," she answered.
"Ok," Syaoran replied with a mixed expression. He got up and following Arietta out of the room.
Kaiser watched from the shadows as Mayumi glanced out the glass window that looked out on the school grounds. He walked over till he was standing to the side of her. "Do you feel fine about stealing people's magical energy?" he asked.
"I do what is necessary," she answered. "To live sometimes we must do things we don't like to do."
Kaiser starred out the window with an intense expression, "What is required to save someone you care about," he whispered.
"I'm afraid I don't understand," Mayumi replied.
"You must first save yourself," he said to no one. He turned and looked at Mayumi, "Save yourself first," he said before walking away leaving Mayumi with a blank look.
Kaiser noticed Syaoran following Arietta down a hallway. He eyes narrowed, Fox-san is under a spell. He quickly followed behind, but maintained enough distance so neither Syaoran or Arietta knew he was there.
"We will now announce the winners of the talent show," the teacher announced after stepping on stage. "First place, goes to Tomoyo Daidouji." Tomoyo stepped out on stage and accepted the trophy. "Second place, goes to the band Dark Angel." The members of the band stepped onto the stage and Mayumi accepted the trophy. "And third place goes to Sakura Kinomoto," the teacher announced.
Sakura ran out onto the stage and grabbed the trophy from the teacher. She looked out at the audience. She frowned when she noticed that Syaoran was no where in the audience. Why do I even care if he is watching?
"I told you, I said you would get a trophy," Tomoyo whispered to her.
"No you said I was going to win Tomoyo-chan," Sakura teased.
"Why are we going in there?" Syaoran asked.
"I have something I want to show you," Arietta replied.
Syaoran frowned, before shrugging and walking into the guy's locker room. Arietta walked in after him. Syaoran walked a few steps into the room before turning around. "What is it you want to show me?" he asked.
"Why?" she questioned. "Why, why is it her?"
"What are you talking about?" Syaoran asked.
"Why is it Sakura-san that you are in love with!" she screamed.
A puzzled expression appeared on Syaoran's face. "What are you talking about? Sakura-chan and I are just friends; nothing more."
"You lie!" she screamed. "I've seen the way you look at her. The way you talk about her. The way you talk to her. The way you treat her. The way you act around her. You can't fool me you love her!"
"You are mistaken," Syaoran told her. "I don't love Sakura-chan."
"It is true, I've seen the look in your eyes when you look at her. The tenderness, in your eyes," she cried.
Syaoran just stood there surprised. Do I act differently when I'm with Sakura? Do I treat her differently? I know I care about Sakura, but I don't love her. . . do I?
Arietta let out a creepy laugh. "I won't lose, I will be loved!" She pulled out a gun from behind her back. She pointed the gun at Syaoran. "I will fire this gun and send you to the world beyond. Then I will follow suit right after, so we can be together, forever." Arietta had a bleak blank look in her eyes. They looked lifeless and void. "Die for me Syaoran."
The door the room burst open and Kaiser rushed in. "Syaoran!" he yelled. He narrowed his eyes on Arietta. He rushed at Arietta trying to grab the gun in her hand.
She took a step backwards. "No! Stay away!" she screamed as she fired the gun. A second later two more shots rang out through the room, for the gun was one that fired continuous shots.
The silver wolf chain that was on Syaoran's neck fell off and shattered to pieces. Two bodies fell to the floor with a lifeless thud. Blood spilled out of the bodies covering the white tile in a pool of red.
End of Chapter 21
Author's Note
Hi, here is a little fun story. I was bored so I decided to take one of those 'Find your real age' things that are on the ads sometimes. According to it I should still be in middle school, (I just graduated for high school)
Here is the summary for the SnS CSS crossover. "Sakura has become a torch, and Syaoran is desperately tried to find a way to save her. But will he find a way? Is there even a way?"
I'm almost finished outlining it, a preview for the first chapter will be at the end of Chapter 25.
As for Glacier, I'm 80 percent done with outlining it. (I think). I'm thinking the story will go about 22 chapters and be about 72,000 words. (I think) I first chapter of Glacier will be out by the end of the month.
Sorry about taking a while to update, problems with my life right now. I'm hoping to have the next chapter up by Wednesday. (I hope)
You learn new things everyday, I just did. I found out SnS has a manga. (I like the anime better) And that SnS is going to have a third season. (Stoked about that!)
See ya next time!
