Hello…Hey I said I was working on it but with little inspiration it is rather difficult and besides I'm working long hours AND I have 2 sisters to contend with. I don't know how this chapter will turn out so I can't give you fair warning to if it becomes too weird just see it through and hopefully it will make sense. Did I just repeat what I said last time?

(Normal POV Avalon Residence)
'Ring, Ring, Ring, Ring…' Sakura once again tried to call Eli over the phone, but had once again failed to call when he was actually home. Sakura was in her room, sitting on the bed with the phone to her ear waiting for the other end to pick up, Kero was at the windowsill watching her and also looking at the moonless sky Yue's gonna be weak tonight he thought.
"Argh, why won't he answer" Sakura became frustrated and threw the phone to the bottom of the bed (she was at the top).
"Don't forget about the time difference Sakura, he could still be asleep over there" Kero looked towards his mistress and then looked back out the window.
Sakura looked agitated "but I have been remembering the time difference, it is as though he isn't even there".
"Uh Sakura" Kero stood up still facing outside "I think I know why he doesn't answer".
"Why".
"Because he's here".
"WHAT" Sakura ran towards the window and sure enough Eli was outside walking up towards the front door with a Spinner Sun and Ruby Moon in Tow (in full forms).
Tori knocked on the door and came in "Monster, what's all this racket about".
Sakura looked towards her brother "we have a guest".
Tori was confused "What".
"We…" Sakura was interrupted, as there was a knock at the door. "I'll get it" and with that Sakura ran out the room, down the stairs, opened the door and hugged her English friend.
"Well, that was unexpected" Eli stumbled.
"It's good to see you again Eli" Sakura said happily.
"You too" Eli replied, still a little startled from the surprise hug, "but I am here for business you see".
"So you know about the demons then".
"She told you then".
"Yes, I… Wait how did you know Sayuri told me about the demons".
"I was the one that told her to come here, all of this is my doing".
Tori appeared at the doorway "I should have known you had something to do with this, this isn't one of your life threatening tests is it?"
Sakura looked from her brother to Eli. "You should come inside I'll make some tea" and with that she walked past her brother and went into the kitchen with the others following.
"This isn't a test" Ruby cooed "But there will be one if it hasn't happened already"
Sakura and Tori looked at her confused "A test, what kind of test?" Tori asked looking at Eli sceptically.
"It has nothing to do with me, I wasn't the one who figured out that the demons wanted the cards" Eli tried to look innocent but it wasn't working. Yeh right Tori thought.
"He's right" Kero piped up.
Sakura screamed (like whenever Yue or Keroberos showed up), she thought that Kero was still upstairs, everyone else sweat dropped. "I thought that you had stayed upstairs"
"No way, when he comes over it's always important" Kero jabbed his paw at Eli. Once again everyone sweat dropped.
"Kero, why don't you and Spinner go up stairs and play video games while we talk" Eli suggested.
"But I wanna hear what you have to say" Kero protested.
"What's the point you already know about it from Clow". Kero relented and he and Spinner went out the room.
"So this was Clow's idea" Tori stated as he sat down.

(The next day)
Chihiro and Haku were walking to the Oran flat as they had arranged to go to the mall together, this would be the first time Chihiro and Haku had got to see Sayuri as she had been illusive as ever, until Meiran had arrived that is.
They got to the flat door when they saw a Chinese girl by it. "Meiran, is that you" Chihiro exclaimed, surprised to see her friend from ages ago.
The Chinese girl turned around to face them. "Chihiro! What the hell are you doing here I thought you lived down south?" They were ecstatic to see each other.
"It is you Meiran, how cool. I came here with my parents about 3 months ago and I've been studying at the same high school as Tsukiko, and her sister goes to the college"
"Sister? Tsukiko doesn't have a sister, she has a half brother though" Meiran was confused "unless you're talking about Dranzer then you mean mother, well technically Fire. Tsukiko is also the new Light."
"Lady Dranzer and Tsukiko, I mean Fire and Light are mother and daughter? Wow I forgot about that!" Chihiro seemed delighted by this new arrangement, so that's why she looked so familiar, she's the baby I helped deliver all those years ago, while Haku just looked confused 'what are they talking about.
Meiran looked worried "you did?" She asked.
Chihiro had no time to reply as the door opened up and Sayuri stood in the doorway. "I thought I heard somebody out here, hi Mei. Chihiro so you are here, Tsukiko said you were but I didn't actually think it was YOU"
Chihiro walked right up to Sayuri and looked her in the eye. "I know you had a daughter Okaa-sama, but I didn't know you had a SON, nor did I know that you FOUND Tsukiko again, OR that she was the new Light" you could see the proverbial steam coming out of her ears.
Sayuri was shocked "how did you find out" she looked towards Meiran who tried to look innocent. "Never mind, yes Tsukiko does have a half brother, though he isn't a natural child, he's actually my evil clone with someone else's DNA added (figured it out yet)"
"Who?"
"Dark Fire"
"WHAT? HOW COME YOU NEVER TELL ME THESE THINGS?"
Sayuri had her hands to her ears as Chihiro was so loud, Tsukiko came through the door with 2 bags and shut the door, eyes wincing a little as she had also been affected by the shout. "Please Chihiro, be quiet as Shugo-Juu have sensitive hearing and your starting to make a scene" Tsukiko was right, people from other apartments were coming out of their rooms to see what the noise was, Chihiro apologized and they all ran down to the outside and then walked to the mall, Tsukiko giving Sayuri one of the bags and they slung them on their backs.
"Anything else you wanna tell me about the others?" Chihiro was walking along side Sayuri with Haku holding her other hand. Since they had confessed Chihiro and Haku had been going out when there was time
"Well" Sayuri started, "Water is my brother Draciel as you know, Dark Fire is Ryo Guard who was sent back to the past and that's why we knew him from before, Earth is Relena Nalene, Dark Earth is Middie Lite, Dark Air is Solo Prince and Air is Kagome Higurashi, and they all hold the sacred elemental powers that I have given to each generation of Elementals". She gave a thoughtful look "only their surnames have changed from last time".
Meiran smirked "With the way you're saying that, it's as if you thought you were some type of god"
Sayuri laughed, "No actually I'm just a princess".

/Together in all these memories
I see your smile
All the memories I hold dear
Darling you know I love you till the end of time
All of my memories
Keep you near
In silent moments
Imagine you'd be here
All of my memories
Keep you near
The silent whispers, silent tears
All of my memories/
A tall male with short black hair was sitting at a desk drinking a cup of tea, he had dark brown eyes and his mouth was shut tightly. He had a radio next to him on the desk and was playing Immortal Fire, Memories. This mad man opened his mouth and whispered, "So the time has come".

(Later)
"Hey Okaa-sama, I heard that there is a comp at the college on Friday" Chihiro asked with a glass of coke in one hand.
"Yeh me and Mei are in it" Sayuri responded also with a glass of coke.
The girls (and Haku) were in the kitchen drinking coke and playing Monopoly while talking about everything and catching up. The Elementals had been separated for 500 years and were only starting to get back together again. Tsukiko looked at Meiran and then back at Dranzer "who else is in it?"
Meiran looked at Tsukiko "Julian, Kirana, Tristan and Tori".
Haku snorted, "I'm not surprised those two are in it."
Sayuri looked shocked "Haku! Their good. With me specializing in history and literature, Mei in Asian culture and martial arts, Tori with medical, science and geography, Julian with food and math, Tristan with Sports and TV, and Kirana with fashion and music, we are an unbeatable team"
"We'll see" Haku replied

SO Haku has no faith in the team, a mad man has appeared and I have another song, which is Memories, by Within Temptation (my new favourite artist) And I have changed something in the past chapters so you might want to re read them. I HAVE got a plot for after the competition however it will go very Bad for Dranzer and Tsukiko so you might want to get a tissue when it comes up. Well it's 1:20 in the morning now so I better put this up and go to bed, as I have to be at work at 10:00. WHO THE HELL WORKS AT 10AM ON A SUNDAY. See ya.
