Chapter 22: Friday

(There are two rival gangs, the Blossoms and the Wolves. They are rivals, but what happens when their leaders fall in love with each other? This is forbidden, if they weren't rivals it would be different but they are. And so, it begins...)

*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!**!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!* The Kinomoto House *!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!

Meilin's gaze halted at Ashley before moving on the study the rest of their faces.

"You know, I have a feeling that it is just beginning," she murmured, looking thoughtful.

"Oh, you have the same feeling, Mei?" Madison grinned, her expression slightly amused.

Meilin nodded, half-consciously leaning into Malik's embrace as Malik unconsciously tightened his arms around her. Malik looked over at the fallen Chosen One, his gaze traveling down to the necklace snuggled at the base of her neck.

  "Look at Ying…I mean, Sakura's necklace. Unlike you guys' it's each of our auras with her aura being the dominant one. What do you think it means?" He asked, stumbling slightly over her name.

Madison eyed the necklace like the hawk would watch its prey, and like Syaoran; she tried to pull it off. It still refused to budge.  Sighing resignedly, she leaned into Eli's arms, looking dejectedly at her best friend in the whole wide world.

 "I hope that she's okay," she sighed, her voice wavering ever so slightly.

Sakura shifted in the circle of Syaoran's arms as he tightened his arms around her, looking worriedly down at her.

 "It hurts… Syaoran! Syaoran! Noo!!! AHH!!!" She screamed, shivering violently.

Beads of perspiration began to roll down her forehead as she screamed her lungs out. Syaoran started to panic and frantically began to shake her awake. Once he touched her, she awoke and gripped his forearms tightly, burying her head into his chest.

 "Please…don't ever leave me…okay?" she pleaded, looking desperately into his liquid-brown eyes.

Syaoran's gaze on her softened and he nodded,

 "I won't…we are a team, remember?" He assured her quietly.

Sakura nodded silently and pushed her head back against his chest once again as her 'friend' decided to pay her a little visit.

'Sakura, now, you know that you love him, tell him!' The voice insisted.

'I do NOT love him! I don't! He's a teammate, nothing else…'

'Right,' it drawled sarcastically. 'And I'm HIS conscience. Quit denying it and just tell me the truth okay? You know that you love him. Don't deny it, it's not healthy you know?'

'I like him…' Sakura admitted quietly.

'No,' it growled firmly. If it had a head, it probably would be shaking it furiously. 'You and I both know that you are SO past like. You know that you love him.'

 'Fine…I admit it…but, he doesn't love me, so, I'm not even going to try to tell him. We are enemies okay! Enemies!' Sakura insisted, frowning slightly.

 'How do you know that he doesn't love you unless you tell him you that you love him? So? You know that you can stop being enemies if you two make an agreement. And you know that some of your Blossoms love a few of the Wolves, but are committed to hating them because of petty rivalries.'

 'I'll think about it, okay?'

'I'm always here, so, you can't lie to me. I know that you love him. But, okay. Deny all you want…until it's too late…'

 'What do you mean?' The chosen one demanded.

 'You saw the vision…'

Sakura started to panic, and then she called out to the conscience,

 'Wait! Come back! Explain!'

She received no answer from her conscience. Everyone else was looking at her as she kept her face hidden in Syaoran's chest for a few minutes. Then, was overcome by panic and hugged Syaoran close. She soon realized what she was doing, but didn't let go of Syaoran. Instead, she turned to look at everyone else, missing the glints in Eli's and Madison's eyes as the entire group watched on, small smiles on each of their faces.

 "Saku, are you okay?" Ashley asked, breaking the silence.

Sakura nodded slowly,

 "Yea, I'm fine…"

 "That's good…" Meilin said quietly as she lifted her ruby eyes to meet Sakura's intent gaze.

Sobering slightly, Sakura glanced down at the necklace and collapsed against Syaoran's chest again.

 "Why do I still have this thing on?" She demanded, looking slightly revolted.

Everyone shrugged, not knowing what to say.

 "The other girls still have theirs on too. We don't know why," Eric said finally, his puzzled _expression mirrored the rest of their faces.

Sakura sighed and stayed nestled against Syaoran's chest and Syaoran sub-consciously wrapped his arms around her small frame, as if trying to protect her from the world's dangers. Sakura looked at everyone else and nodded,

 "Okay guys, I have a strange feeling that what we just experienced is only a little practice for us. And we need to be on our guard. Every day," she added for good measure. "This is going to be difficult because of the tension between the Blossoms and the Wolves. But it must be done."

She looked at everyone in the group, and they all nodded to her. Madison spoke up softly after awhile.

 "Well, we know that we have to be careful, but we came back on Friday. And fortunately, we only have to be back by Monday. But you know that the girls will be worried. What will we tell them? What if someone catches us with you guys? What if we get attacked again? What if the next attack is the final attack? What if the next time we attacked, it is the final battle, and who is the third person?"

Her questions came tumbling forth as Madison looked around at everyone else. They all sighed in consternation and looked away from her probing gaze. She knew that it had to be said, and she knew that they didn't want to be the ones to deal with it, but it had to be them. They were the Chosen Ones. Whether it was a good or bad thing, she could not tell.

She shook her head. As Eli wrapped his arms around her, she looked at him and he nodded, telling her that no matter what, they would be there for each other.

 "We'll just have to be ready, you guys. We just have to be ready," he sighed.

 "Yea, that's all we can be…" Meilin nodded. "As prepared as possible.

 "Maybe these necklaces will help us in the final battle," Ashley added brightly, being her usual optimistic self.

 "We can only hope," Sakura nodded quietly, suddenly looking extremely weary.

!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*! Somewhere Else *!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!* 

Somewhere else, an angered voice was heard in the distance and all around that place,

 " I'LL GET YOU CHOSEN ONES!!! I PROMISE YOU THIS!!!"

That voice was followed by a series of laughs, evil, menacing laughs that meant no good to our heroes…

Kaylie-chan: I know that it's short! I really hope that you guys liked this chapter! I had a writers block and still do, but, knew I had to write this chapter for you guys. I'm sorry if it's bad…
