*If you see the star, there is a explaination below.
----------------------
I walk over to where there was a white gem, and I pick it up. Suddenly, I see something coming toward me.
"Watch out!" I hear a familer voice yell out and I turn to face who yelled that and im knocked down, while whoever knocked me down screamed in pain. I look at the persons face, and I scream in horror.
What if...the Card Captor crew came to live in America, and had to fight off a new force of evil? This is what could happen...
"NNNNOOOO!!!" Sakura wakes up again, and quite early I must add. This time however, Touya and her father didnt come barging in. It's been the 6th morning she woke up like that. They stopped coming after the 3rd. Kero stopped caring after the last one.
"Wha-what could this mean?" Sakura asked herself, tears coming down her face.
"Why am I forced to see him die again and again!?!?" Sakura broke down and started crying on her pillow.
*************
"SAKURA!!" Syaoran yelled out with a start. 'It's that dream again...' Syaoran thought to himself.
"It's that same haunting scene...where I pick up that gem and Sakura saves me and dies in my arms. Could this be a prophecy?" Syaoran said to himself. He quickly dressed and went downstairs, when the phone rang. He went over to the phone and picked it up.
"Hello?"
"Syaoran!"
"Sakura! Are you okay? You sound like someting bad happened."
"Can I come to your house again today?"
"Of course, think of this place as your 2nd home."
"Thank you Syaoran. I'll be there soon."
"Okay, I'll see you soon."
"See you soon Syaoran."
Sakura hung up the phone in her room. She quickly went over to the drawer and took out the clow book and put it in her bag, and quickly ran out the door. She put on her *Soap shoes and quickly ran out the door. She got her fold-up scooter outside and went down the street. She came up to a stair case rail, she got off the scooter, folded it up the handle and she grinded the rail down with her shoes. She then with a quick action unfolded the scooter and kept going to Syaoran's house.
"Wait up Sakura!" something said in the air. Sakura looked up to see Kero coming to her side.
"Kero, someone could have saw you!"
"So, it's not like your big secret is out."
"Kero! You told someone about my relationship with Syaoran?"
"NO!! Your so dense! I mean to card captoring secret."
"Oh...wait a minute, someone found out about my cards?"
"Not excatly, it's only rumored that you used magic spells to stop a big demon. But it's spread like wildfire, and everyone believed it, because the footage of that fight was on Tomoyo's camcorder, which someone stole and now made copies out of."
"Kero! How come you didnt tell me! Are you pulling my leg?"
"No, I was snooping around and heard what people were saying about you behind your back."
"Great..." Sakura said as she stopped in front of Syaoran's house, and folded the Scooter up all the way. She walked over and placed the scooter down, then she placed her bag on the couch.
*******************
Syaoran walked out of the basement door and went over to the living room, where Sakura took off her jacket. She wore a tight pink shirt that hugged every inch of her body and tight black leather pants.
"Hey Sakura. So, what's going on?"
"Syaoran...I've been having this dream, and each time this dream happens, the excat same events happen, and I always keep seeing you die in each one. It's so horrible!" Sakura yelled out the last line, and ran into Syaoran's arms.
"It's okay, I'm not going anywhere."
"I dont want to lose you..."
"You wont. Did this dream of yours occur at a place where it's totally black, and a white gem is on the ground?"
"Yeah, that's it. How did you know?"
"I've been having it too. Except that you die each time. What do you think it means?"
"It means I want to ask if I can raid your fridge." Kero said, interupting.
"Kero!" Both of them said at the same time.
"That was cute how you both said that the same time."
"Cute?" Both of them said at the same time again, they faced each other, their lips just about an inch apart.
"I guess so Kero." Both of them said at the same time.
"I havent told you this in a while, but, I love you." Syaoran said.
"I love you too." Sakura said, and both were about to have their first kiss when something dropped from the table and hit the floor, startling the couple.
"Sorry. Go back to what you were doing." Kero said, picking up the the object and placing it on the table. Suddenly, the garage door opened, and Syaoran's aunt came out. "Hey Syaoran, what are you doing?" Syaoran's aunt asked.
"Li-san!" Syaoran whined.
"You know your still engaged to marry Meilin."
"No im not! I asked my parents to break the engagement. I've even gotten rid of the proposal ring Meilin gave me."
"Really? How come I was not informed?"
"What do you mean? My father said he'd inform you."
"Hmm...well, anyway, make good use of the basement okay? And dont leave it like it was last week, books spawled out everywhere alright?"
"Okay Li-san." Syaoran said as he took Sakura's hand and guided her to the basement.
****************
Sakura and Syaoran left the basement at noon.
"You did call Tomoyo and tell her that your at my house right?"
"Um...no. I think I'd better call now."
**Honk**
**Honk**
"Never mind, I'll just walk out with you." Sakura said, grabbing on to Syaoran's arm.
"I guess so." Syaoran said, and they went out the front door, and walked over to the completely repaired Black Toyota MR2 that was owned by the one, the only, Eriol.
"Wow Eriol, that was quick." Syaoran said, commenting on the repairs down to the car, which the damage was extensive, as the bullets used were shotgun spread bullets.
"With a little determination, it didnt take long."
The car sped off to their destination. They turned off the exit, and crossed the bridge, in front of them, was a big roller coaster, and alot of lights. Sakura and Tomoyo gasped in amusement, Syaoran was even a bit of amused.
The four actually had fun. The biggest surprise was how much Syaoran was relaxed, and the fact he wasnt blushing in Sakura's presence no more. At one point of the night, the four opted to use the bathroom.
Syaoran began washing his hands, Eriol coming up next to him, and using the sink next to Syaoran, and also begins washing his hands.
"Hey Syaoran, I've never seen you so upbeat. Are you okay?"
"Better than ever. Why do you ask?"
"You've been so...so...open."
"I guess Sakura has that effect on me."
"Woh, wait a minute, how did Sakura get into--wait a minute, you've told her didnt ya?"
"Told her what?"
"What you feel about her. That you like her."
Syaoran looks away and looks at mirror.
**************
Few days ago...(Think Race Wars, part 4)
"...Aishiteru." Syaoran simply said, and looked down, away from Sakura's gasping face. Silence.
'Maybe she doesnt feel the same about me after all, even though it's been almost 5 years.' Syaoran thought, as he turned to walk away.
"Aishiteru Syaoran-kun. Aishiteru..." Sakura managed to let out, making Syaoran very shocked, and he just looked at her face. Her face was dead serious, her emerald eyes shining and glimmering in the afternoon sun. Syaoran then instantly took her into his arms.
"The last time I saw you in Japan, you said you loved me, and left before I got to voice my feelings. I thought then you only said that because it was just puppy love. So when I saw you again...I guess I was just tentative about it. Now...my feelings for you are-"
Syaoran quieted Sakura with his forefinger by placing it on her lips.
"Just stay in my arms, I just want to hold you."
"Of course Syaoran, I dont want to leave your side now..."
After 2 minutes of complete silence...
"Syaoran?"
"Nani?"
"How should we go about this? Should we let everyone know, or keep it low?"
"I...dont know, whatever way you want it."
"Okay...um...I guess we should keep it low, at least to our friends. Who knows how they'll react, and I know Tomoyo wont leave us alone with her camera once she gets word of this."
"Well, I guess that's settled."
***************
"Syaoran! Are you okay?" Eriol said, shaking Syaoran back to earth.
"Huh? Yeah." Syaoran said, noticing his hands getting wrinkled.
"You did tell her! I can tell! I should tell Tomoyo-"
"Eriol! I havent...yet." Syaoran said, trying to make his appearence look like he was lying, but Eriol saw right though it.
"Yeah right. This even explains the reason Sakura has been at your house almost everyday, and always suggest that you come to stuff."
"Okay, I confess, I told her."
"Ah HA! I was right. What did Sakura say, no wait, if your not in gloom and doom, that means she likes you back! That means your a couple!"
"How come it took you a whole sentence to figure that out?"
"Well, I gotta tell Tomoyo, I gotta collect my $100 bucks!" Eriol was about to leave the bathroom, when Syaoran grabbed him by the arm.
"HEY!! DONT TELL TOMOYO!!" Syaoran almost literally yelled, his voice echoing from wall to wall of the bathroom.
"Okay, why not?"
"It's um...a little request Sakura wanted."
"She's afraid Tomoyo will be all over you two with her camcorder huh?"
"Yup. Just dont tell her, okay?"
"..." Eriol went out the bathroom, at the same time as Tomoyo.
The rest of the night went with giggles, laughs, and overall fun. Just to note, Tomoyo did find out, but then mentioned that someone stole her camcorder after the Schala fight, of which tape has spread like wildfire around the school. After riding the roller coaster for the 5th time, they went to a nice seaside restaurant.
"Table for-"
"Two." Tomoyo finished, cutting off Syaoran. She then winked at Sakura, of which Sakura responded with a I-cant-believe-you-did-that face.
"Tomoyo, what about the bill?" Eriol pointed out, trying to help a friend in need, as Syaoran was giving his I-need-help face to Eriol.
"Here, take it." Tomoyo said, pulling out $200 dollars, and giving it to Sakura.
"Uh...thanks..."Sakura said.
"It's no problem. Let's go Eriol-kun." Tomoyo said, grabbing on to Eriol's left arm, as the two was led to a table. Another waiter came and guided Sakura and Syaoran to another table, a table which it was next to a big window area, and almost across the room from Tomoyo and Eriol.
"..." was the sentence repeated for almost all the dinner. They only spoke when they ordered. They also were really red the whole time.
'I gotta say something...but what?' Syaoran thought to himself, looking at Sakura's eyes, which were looking right back into his eyes.
'Why am I so nervous...' Sakura thought, getting lost in the ocean of Syaoran's amber eyes. Sakura looked away from Syaoran, and saw Tomoyo, who was looking back, then nodded her head to the bathroom.
"Um...Syaoran, I'll be back." Sakura said, sitting up and going to the bathroom. Tomoyo escused herself, seemingly encouraged by Eriol.
"Sakura, what's the problem?" Tomoyo asked, looking at Sakura, as the two put their backs on two adjacent walls.
"I...dont know. We both been so quiet, I mean, when it comes to card captoring, or even this new threat, we can easily talk to each other, but when it comes to being normal...I...I just get so...so..."
"Flustered?"
"Yeah! I mean, there's really nothing to talk about."
"Why dont you two talk about...how about some stuff that Syaoran might not know. Or something affecting you both. I know, the whole magic situation at school."
"Tomoyo, I dont want to talk about that, I already feel weird with everyone giving me weird looks as it is." Sakura said.
"Well, try to think up something, even if your not confortable with it. Your relationship with Syaoran might not survive at this point if this keeps up."
"I guess..." Sakura said, as she went out the door, and started to walk back to the table, when the big large window next to her broke. A strong wind carried Sakura and anything near her about ten feet away toward the direction of the gust.
"Sakura!" Syaoran joined the chorus of worries. The other windows broke, and blew everyone within ten feet of the windows back ten feet. Syaoran managed to land on his feet, and ran to Sakura, who was standing. The wave of water smashed against the two, and many others. The waves got bigger, as Sakura and Syaoran and everyone else was pulled out of the water. Syaoran looked a Sakura for a moment, just staring at her (AG: Think, really cold water + tight pink shirt = answer to why Syaoran is staring at Sakura). She looked back, giving him a what-are-you-are-looking-at look. The water began rising, as everyone went outside to avoid getting stuck in the flood. Syaoran snapped out of it, and got serious. As soon as everyone cleared except for Sakura, Syaoran, Tomoyo, and Eriol, the water in the restaurant formed a tower of water. Then the tower lowered, revealing someone, which was totally blue. It was female, and Kero popped out of nowhere from Sakura's floating bag.
"Hey! Why did you drop you bag in the ocean? I was having a nice time eating in there!" Kero complained as he got out of the bag, completely oblivious to the form next to him.
"Kero! I'm glad your here, what is that next to you?" Sakura yelled out to him.
"This? This is your bag." Kero pointed to Sakura's bag.
"Kero! Not that, I mean that!" Sakura pointing to the blue female.
"Oh my god! That's Marle, the water of wildness and wishes! What's it doing here?!?"
Marle rasied her arm toward Syaoran and Sakura, and powerful streams of water hit the two, knocking them into the wall and making them stick there. Also, the streams began suffercating the two, who had to hold their breath.
"Sakura!" Tomoyo yelled, and looked at Eriol. Eriol looked around, and noted the tables. He grabbed on of them, and put it in front of the stream, and the table got blasted toward Sakura, of which for the second of which offer protection, Sakura dropped to the floor, the table smashed to pieces, and the stream stuck there. Sakura coughed and got up. She looked at Syaoran, who has been struggling to maintain his breath, and his movements became slower.
"Syaoran!" Sakura yelled out, as Eriol threw a table into the other stream, releasing Syaoran. Syaoran fell face first on the floor, coughing. Sakura ran to his side, and face him upward. Water coughed out of Syaoran as he coughed. Marle was annoyed, and formed the two streams into one and began moving it toward the two.
"Sakura *cough* you need to *cough* use your power." Syaoran said, coughing more water out.
"Yeah." Sakura replied, looking at Marle. "Power of Fire! Release the flame! Flare!" Sakura yelled out, as a orb of fire appeared near Sakura's hands, and a big flare released, stopping the stream, but only momentarily, as the stream was nearly on Sakura and Syaoran.
"Sakura, quick, use the shield!"
"Right!" Sakura grabbed at her neck, but noticed she didnt have her necklace.
"Uh oh..."
"Sakura, not the shield card, the fire shield!" Syaoran said. Sakura lit up.
"Of course!" Sakura stood up this time and kept her palms toward Marle.
"Power of Fire! Release the flame! Fire Shield!" Just as the stream was about to go over Sakura and Syaoran, a big fire shield appeared, vaporizing the stream into steam. Marle was now mad, she formed big ice spikes, and started throwing them, it melted at the shield, but each one after that started to slowly come though, until a small piece of the spike hit Sakura, though it didnt even pearce her cold, damp pink shirt. Syaoran slowly stood up next to Sakura's side.
"Power of Wind! Release the clouds! Light-"
"Syaoran!" Sakura interupted.
"What, oh..." Syaoran realized his mistake that could have been fatal.
"Power of Wind! Release the clouds! Gust!" Syaoran yelled out, in the same stance as Sakura, as a strong wind pushed back the spikes right back toward Marle, and they went right though her.
"Sakura, now!"
"Kero!" Sakura yelled out to Kero, Kero threw sakura's necklace, and Sakura grabbed it, as it formed into the wand.
"I, Sakura, the Trigger of Destiny, seal you to your crystal!" Sakura seemed to wack Marle in the head, but it didnt do nothing, and Sakura went into the water. Sakura quickly swam up, as then Marle imploded within herself and became the blue gem. Syaoran knew what was coming next, but who? Was it going to be Eriol? or Tomoyo?

Syaoran was totally wrong. The blue gem zipped right into Sakura's back. Sakura screamed in agony, as Syaoran dove into the water. Sakura, unable to keep swimming, began to sink under the water. Syaoran reached Sakura, and brought her to the surface, and swam back with her to where the water reached it's edge, which wasnt far because the water rapidly started to recede. Syaoran laid Sakura on her back, as the blue gem fully entered her body, though the back. (AG: ouch!)
Syaoran then rolled her facing up, and put her in his arms.
"Sakura, are you okay?"
"Ah..." Sakura managed to say, breathing hard. "I...i'm okay. It'll take a while to get used to." Sakura said, as she fainted.
***************
The white gem was sitting there glimming. I walk over to it, and I look around for Syaoran. Seeing he isnt there, I decided to wait. He didnt come, so finally, I just picked it up.
"Watch out!" I hear Syaoran's voice say. I quickly look at him and dove at him, but it's no use, something pearces right though my chest and through his. I look at his face in horror, and he does the same, and suddenly I yell out his name, and he yells out my name.
***************
I look around, I quickly scan the area, searching for someone. The only thing I see is a bright light. I run toward it, and after nearly 15 minutes, I finally reached the light, it was the white gem. Then I see Sakura picking it up, and then I see a dark shadow with a sword, getting ready to stab Sakura.
I yell out to her, "Watch out!" Sakura looks at me and dives at me, as I try to get to her, but the shadow pearces it's sword though her, and it goes right thought me. I look at Sakura, her expression was of true horror, and I suddenly yell out her name, and she yells out my name.
***************
"SYAORAN!!!" Sakura woke up with a start.
At the same time...
"SAKURA!!!" Syaoran woke up with a start.
They were both sweating bullets, as they woke up, each on a seperate couch in the living room of Syaoran's house. Syaoran looked at Sakura, and Sakura looked at Syaoran. They instantly knew, this wasnt a dream, it was a moment into the future. A warning. Sakura stood up, took the blanket with her, and laid down with Syaoran.
"I dont think my dad will mind if I stay here for tonight..." Sakura whispered into Syaoran's ear.
"I dont mind you staying over here at all. Let's just go to sleep now, ne?"
"Un."
The two Triggers of fate then quickly fell asleep within each other's arms.

So how do you like that? I originally was going to have Tomoyo receive the blue gem, and Eriol receive the next gem, but then I decided against it. I cant imagine Tomoyo using magic, and I dont know almost anything on Eriol. So I've basically just kept the trigger count to two. Well, anyway, I hope you like this story, R+R, and say anything about the story as you like. As long as it's not Touya with a branding iron. (o^.~o)

'Why am I so nervous...' Sakura thought, getting lost in the ocean of Syaoran's amber eyes. Sakura looked away from Syaoran, and saw Tomoyo, who was looking back, then nodded her head to the bathroom.
"Um...Syaoran, I'll be back." Sakura said, sitting up and going to the bathroom. Tomoyo escused herself, seemingly encouraged by Eriol.
"Sakura, what's the problem?" Tomoyo asked, looking at Sakura, as the two put their backs on two adjacent walls.
"I...dont know. We both been so quiet, I mean, when it comes to card captoring, or even this new threat, we can easily talk to each other, but when it comes to being normal...I...I just get so...so..."
"Flustered?"
"Yeah! I mean, there's really nothing to talk about."
"Why dont you two talk about...how about some stuff that Syaoran might not know. Or something affecting you both. I know, the whole magic situation at school."
"Tomoyo, I dont want to talk about that, I already feel weird with everyone giving me weird looks as it is." Sakura said.
"Well, try to think up something, even if your not confortable with it. Your relationship with Syaoran might not survive at this point if this keeps up."
"I guess..." Sakura said, as she went out the door, and started to walk back to the table, when the big large window next to her broke. A strong wind carried Sakura and anything near her about ten feet away toward the direction of the gust.
"Sakura!" Syaoran joined the chorus of worries. The other windows broke, and blew everyone within ten feet of the windows back ten feet. Syaoran managed to land on his feet, and ran to Sakura, who was standing. The wave of water smashed against the two, and many others. The waves got bigger, as Sakura and Syaoran and everyone else was pulled out of the water. Syaoran looked a Sakura for a moment, just staring at her (AG: Think, really cold water + tight pink shirt = answer to why Syaoran is staring at Sakura). She looked back, giving him a what-are-you-are-looking-at look. The water began rising, as everyone went outside to avoid getting stuck in the flood. Syaoran snapped out of it, and got serious. As soon as everyone cleared except for Sakura, Syaoran, Tomoyo, and Eriol, the water in the restaurant formed a tower of water. Then the tower lowered, revealing someone, which was totally blue. It was female, and Kero popped out of nowhere from Sakura's floating bag.
"Hey! Why did you drop you bag in the ocean? I was having a nice time eating in there!" Kero complained as he got out of the bag, completely oblivious to the form next to him.
"Kero! I'm glad your here, what is that next to you?" Sakura yelled out to him.
"This? This is your bag." Kero pointed to Sakura's bag.
"Kero! Not that, I mean that!" Sakura pointing to the blue female.
"Oh my god! That's Marle, the water of wildness and wishes! What's it doing here?!?"
Marle rasied her arm toward Syaoran and Sakura, and powerful streams of water hit the two, knocking them into the wall and making them stick there. Also, the streams began suffercating the two, who had to hold their breath.
"Sakura!" Tomoyo yelled, and looked at Eriol. Eriol looked around, and noted the tables. He grabbed on of them, and put it in front of the stream, and the table got blasted toward Sakura, of which for the second of which offer protection, Sakura dropped to the floor, the table smashed to pieces, and the stream stuck there. Sakura coughed and got up. She looked at Syaoran, who has been struggling to maintain his breath, and his movements became slower.
"Syaoran!" Sakura yelled out, as Eriol threw a table into the other stream, releasing Syaoran. Syaoran fell face first on the floor, coughing. Sakura ran to his side, and face him upward. Water coughed out of Syaoran as he coughed. Marle was annoyed, and formed the two streams into one and began moving it toward the two.
"Sakura *cough* you need to *cough* use your power." Syaoran said, coughing more water out.
"Yeah." Sakura replied, looking at Marle. "Power of Fire! Release the flame! Flare!" Sakura yelled out, as a orb of fire appeared near Sakura's hands, and a big flare released, stopping the stream, but only momentarily, as the stream was nearly on Sakura and Syaoran.
"Sakura, quick, use the shield!"
"Right!" Sakura grabbed at her neck, but noticed she didnt have her necklace.
"Uh oh..."
"Sakura, not the shield card, the fire shield!" Syaoran said. Sakura lit up.
"Of course!" Sakura stood up this time and kept her palms toward Marle.
"Power of Fire! Release the flame! Fire Shield!" Just as the stream was about to go over Sakura and Syaoran, a big fire shield appeared, vaporizing the stream into steam. Marle was now mad, she formed big ice spikes, and started throwing them, it melted at the shield, but each one after that started to slowly come though, until a small piece of the spike hit Sakura, though it didnt even pearce her cold, damp pink shirt. Syaoran slowly stood up next to Sakura's side.
"Power of Wind! Release the clouds! Light-"
"Syaoran!" Sakura interupted.
"What, oh..." Syaoran realized his mistake that could have been fatal.
"Power of Wind! Release the clouds! Gust!" Syaoran yelled out, in the same stance as Sakura, as a strong wind pushed back the spikes right back toward Marle, and they went right though her.
"Sakura, now!"
"Kero!" Sakura yelled out to Kero, Kero threw sakura's necklace, and Sakura grabbed it, as it formed into the wand.
"I, Sakura, the Trigger of Destiny, seal you to your crystal!" Sakura seemed to wack Marle in the head, but it didnt do nothing, and Sakura went into the water. Sakura quickly swam up, as then Marle imploded within herself and became the blue gem. Syaoran knew what was coming next, but who? Was it going to be Eriol? or Tomoyo?

Syaoran was totally wrong. The blue gem zipped right into Sakura's back. Sakura screamed in agony, as Syaoran dove into the water. Sakura, unable to keep swimming, began to sink under the water. Syaoran reached Sakura, and brought her to the surface, and swam back with her to where the water reached it's edge, which wasnt far because the water rapidly started to recede. Syaoran laid Sakura on her back, as the blue gem fully entered her body, though the back. (AG: ouch!)
Syaoran then rolled her facing up, and put her in his arms.
"Sakura, are you okay?"
"Ah..." Sakura managed to say, breathing hard. "I...i'm okay. It'll take a while to get used to." Sakura said, as she fainted.
***************
The white gem was sitting there glimming. I walk over to it, and I look around for Syaoran. Seeing he isnt there, I decided to wait. He didnt come, so finally, I just picked it up.
"Watch out!" I hear Syaoran's voice say. I quickly look at him and dove at him, but it's no use, something pearces right though my chest and through his. I look at his face in horror, and he does the same, and suddenly I yell out his name, and he yells out my name.
***************
I look around, I quickly scan the area, searching for someone. The only thing I see is a bright light. I run toward it, and after nearly 15 minutes, I finally reached the light, it was the white gem. Then I see Sakura picking it up, and then I see a dark shadow with a sword, getting ready to stab Sakura.
I yell out to her, "Watch out!" Sakura looks at me and dives at me, as I try to get to her, but the shadow pearces it's sword though her, and it goes right thought me. I look at Sakura, her expression was of true horror, and I suddenly yell out her name, and she yells out my name.
***************
"SYAORAN!!!" Sakura woke up with a start.
At the same time...
"SAKURA!!!" Syaoran woke up with a start.
They were both sweating bullets, as they woke up, each on a seperate couch in the living room of Syaoran's house. Syaoran looked at Sakura, and Sakura looked at Syaoran. They instantly knew, this wasnt a dream, it was a moment into the future. A warning. Sakura stood up, took the blanket with her, and laid down with Syaoran.
"I dont think my dad will mind if I stay here for tonight..." Sakura whispered into Syaoran's ear.
"I dont mind you staying over here at all. Let's just go to sleep now, ne?"
"Un."
The two Triggers of fate then quickly fell asleep within each other's arms.

So how do you like that? I originally was going to have Tomoyo receive the blue gem, and Eriol receive the next gem, but then I decided against it. I cant imagine Tomoyo using magic, and I dont know almost anything on Eriol. So I've basically just kept the trigger count to two. Well, anyway, I hope you like this story, R+R, and say anything about the story as you like. As long as it's not Touya with a branding iron. (o^.~o)
