CCS does not belong to me, but this story does.
Wow, a long chapter. I've been reading my stories (the ones posted on the internet) and I've noticed a lot of spelling mistakes. I'm sorry, and I'll try not to make them.
Also, I'm going to start dedication my chapters. This one is to, er, Scarlet, b/c it's definately not to Melvin.
Friend or Foe?

"Really?"
"Yeah."
"So there was a bomb?"
"Yes, but the police came and detached it."
"That was so freaky yesterday, sitting on those bleachers."
The endless conversation floated around.
"Those people don't know scary until they've seen what we've been through." Nakita said, waiting for me to get my books at my locker. "Or what I've been through."
"No kidding," I slammed my locker shut, locked it, and then hurried to class.
"Where do you keep the Jewels?" Kanari asked me in a note during class.
"In a case in my locker." I wrote back. "Snowy and I found out how to bewitch it so it'll only open if I touch it."
"Really?" Kanari mouthed. I nodded. The science teacher cleared her throat, and continued to teach us the parts of the ear. I sighed. Right at that moment, life seemed as if it had always been the same. I looked around.
Cap was sitting at the back with Doughboy, and they were snickering at the teacher. Cap seemed perfectly normal, and so did Doughboy. Vash and Kelli were sitting near the window, and I could almost imagine Eriol in my class too. Kanari, Nakita, Liz, Snowy, and I all looked innocent. So did the other boys and girls in our class-like Scarlet, Melvin, Katrina, William Thomas the Third, Alicia, Mary, Allison, Maggie, Chris, Josh and the other kids; most of them I wasn't aware of.
"You'd think it never happened." Nakita whispered.
"Nakita, are you talking notes?" The teacher asked.
"Yes ma'am." Nakita said, standing up.
"What is the ear drum also know as?"
"The..." Nakita looked around for help, and at Kanari, Snowy, and I.
"Tympanic." I whispered, not moving my lips. "Membrane."
"The, er, Tympanic Membrane." Nakita said. The teacher nodded, and turned her back towards the class again. Nakita sat down and sighed. It was relief.
"That was close." I said.
"Yeah." She whispered. "Vash kept looking at me."
"What do you mean?" I asked. "Everyone was looking at you."
"Not that way." Nakita giggled, and went back to labeling her diagram of the ear. I frowned, and exchanged a puzzled look with Kanari, who shrugged. Snowy raised her eyebrows.
"Okay class." Our science teacher turned around once again. "You will have a quiz on the scientific and common names of the ear on Thursday." The class groaned.
"The anvil is the incus." I said to myself.
Vash whispered. "Because the Incas build that PLACE with anvils." I blinked, and caught Kanari's gaze. Nakita was staring at Vash. Kanari and I tried not to giggle.
Nakita frowned at us, then frowned deeper. The class was then dismissed.
"What is going on?" Kanari asked as the bell rang. "Nakita, are you okay? You spent the whole period staring at Vash."
"No." Nakita denied. "I thought I sensed something." I dropped my binder.
"From Vash?" I asked, picking it up. Nakita tilted her head, deep in thought.
"I don't think so." She said. "It seemed to be coming from the front end of the classroom."
"I wonder why WE didn't sense anything?" I asked. "Are you sure it was sensing, Nakita?" Nakita nodded confidently.
"Well, it looks like we have magical powers too!" Kanari smiled "Hooray!" She jumped up and down.
"Awesome." Snowy said. She had been piling books into her locker. "C'mon, we've got to go to history now."
In history, Liz was she sensed something, and so did Snowy. It was kind of weird, but by the end of the day, we had listed it down to the following people: Alicia, Scarlet, William Thomas, and Melvin.
"I'm not exactly sure who it is." Snowy said. "But I'm leaning towards Melvin."
"Scratch William Thomas." I told Kanari, who had the book. "He's in E-Team and I didn't sense ANYTHING."
"I was sensing something in Art Class." Kanari said. "So it's either Alicia or Scarlet."
"I'm not sure." Doughboy said. "I have PE with Melvin and I definitely sensed something."
"Really?" Snowy asked.
"Positive." Doughboy said.
"Maybe they both have Jewel?" I suggested. "It is a possibility, you know."
"I think that we should all hang out one day, like we did with Nakita, and try the spell." Doughboy said.
"But now, if someone invited Melvin to hang out with them, wouldn't that look pretty obvious that we're up to something?" Snowy asked. "I mean Melvin is a dork. I don't care if he does have a Jewel or not, but I will NOT hang out with him."
"All right." Doughboy shrugged. "Only a suggestion."
"Couldn't we do this when they're no aware of it?" Liz asked.
"Like when they're sleeping?" Rene asked.
"I guess." Liz answered.
"They will probably be thrown backwards like Nakita and I." Kanari said. "Bad idea."
"There has to be an easier way of doing this!" Doughboy slammed his fist into a nearby locker.
"I wonder." I said. "If I say Master Mind Forward the Jewel, and they don't have a Jewel, nothing will happen, right?"
"Err, yeah." Snowy shrugged. "I suppose so." She brightened up. "Great idea, Yuki."
"Not really." Doughboy said. "What if they DO have one? That would cause quite a large scene."
"I think we should try Scarlet first." Snowy said. "C'mon, she's right over there."
"Who wants to invite her?" Doughboy asked. Nakita shrugged.
"I'll do it." She walked over to Scarlet. 'Uh, hey Scarlet."
"Hi." Scarlet said, smiling.
"Listen, we're going to the park, wanna come?" Nakita asked. I saw Scarlet nod.
"Who could resist that innocent smile?" Doughboy whispered.
"Definitely not you." I said, irritably. I was in a bad mood because I had to get this Master thingy over with.
Nakita and Scarlet walked over to us and we walked to the park.
"Get it over with." Nakita said.
"Easy for you to say." I said, and raised my hands to summon the Jewel. I was just too late.
"That's my mom's car!" Scarlet said. "I'll see you guys tomorrow!" She started to run out of the trees.
"Master Mind Forward the Jewel." I said, quietly, but steadily. There was a small flash, and the next second, the Purple Jewel came flying at me. I snatched it.
"Scarlet has fainted." Doughboy reported. Doughboy, Snowy, Rene, Nakita, and Liz were leaning over Scarlet. Kanari was looking at the newly captured Jewel.
"We'll tell her she tripped over a rock and hit her head on the tree." Kanari said. "We can't get too many people involved." Nakita nodded her approval, and dragged a rock beside Scarlet to show the proof. Scarlet was beginning to wake up.
It didn't take long to tell her the story, and then she apologized and left. We sighed and plopped down on the grass in one great circle.
"Let me tell you, it is not easy being a Jewel Bearer." Kanari said, wiping the sweat from her forehead.
"What about a Jewel Capturer?" I asked. Kanari smiled, and happened to look up. She froze.
Doughboy, who hadn't been looking at Kanari, was still talking. "What about being a fighter. It isn't easy to fight Eriol and Colton you know, especially Colton. In fact-" Doughboy stopped and followed Kanari's gazed. Eriol was perched on the top of one of the palm trees, listening.
"Ahh!" Doughboy jumped up. "You scared me, Eriol! What do you want?"
"That newly captured Jewel, what else?" Eriol laughed. "Take a look at this." He held up a Green Jewel.
"Where did you get that?" Kanari asked.
"I captured it." Eriol said. "Melvin."
"Melvin?" Nakita gasped. She was all on this equal rights thing, and the only one of us who defended Melvin what so ever. "How?"
"He has the Jewel, I captured it, and he thinks it's all a dream." Eriol smiled. "Very simple. And the Jewel Bearers don't have powers. Only the ones that are christened by the gods do."
"The god?" Rene asked.
"The angels of liberty." Eriol pointed to Snowy, Doughboy, Liz, and I. "Those who suck enough power of the angels will be able to sense things."
"How do we suck power?" Kanari asked.
"All you have to do is stay around them." Eriol said. "It's like magnets. They attach and move around each other."
"Oh." Nakita raised her eyebrows. "Cool."
"Awesome!" Kanari said. She smiled broadly.
"Well, what do you want?" Snowy asked.
"Obviously." Eriol said. "I have the Yellow and Green Jewel, while you have the Red, Blue, and Purple Jewel. Don't you think I'd want to steal things?"
"There are still two left." Liz said. "Why don't you get them?"
"Because I can't sense very well." Eriol replied confidently. "That's Ariel's profession, but thanks to SOME people, she's in the Fourth Dimension, and I'm out here. I can't help her either." Eriol glared at us. Doughboy sighed.
"Get over it, Eriol." He said, shaking his head. Eriol scowled.
"So I have to get this over with." Eriol closed his eyes and began to breathe deeply. Suddenly he lunged for me, shouting, "Jewels!" I was knocked over on the grass. Struggling to get up, Eriol pulled out his sword. A small drawstring bag fell out of my possession. Eriol saw it, and started to lunge for it.
"Release!" Liz drew out her sword and held it out, between Eriol and I, a few inches away from his face. "Don't move." She said. I scrambled to pick up the purple cashmere bag, and stuffed it back into my pocket.
"This is pathetic." Eriol said, stepped back, and jumped up into the tree. As he turned to go, he said, "Don't worry, I'll be back."
"What do you think that could mean" Snowy asked.
"Nothing good, for sure." Kanari said.
"Return to your Power Confined!" Liz returned her sword to a brooch.
"Thank you." I said. She smiled modestly.
"Uh, no problem." Liz frowned. "He said he'd be back, so I just worry for your safety."
"Yeah." Nakita said. "And there's really not much we can do about you until he's destroyed or until the rest of the Jewels are captured." We all looked at the ground.
"Hey!" We all turned to look. Across the street, William Thomas was running towards them. "Wait for me!"
"Ah, William, watch out!" Nakita said. It was too late. As William Thomas skidded to a stop, a car was fast approaching. Kanari covered up her eyes, and Liz winced. Snowy and Rene both started to scream, and Nakita shouted, "Oh no!"
William Thomas and the car collided. Nakita covered her hands and groaned. The small figure flew up in the air and landed several feet away, in the park. Nakita ran over. William Thomas was in the grass, unconscious.
"Someone call 911!" The old lady who had hit William Thomas jumped out of the car and rushed over. Horns from behind her honked until she realized the first step was to go back inside her car and remove it so it would not block traffic. Snowy snuck away from the crowd and headed back towards the trees. I saw her take out her broomstick and fly off, supposedly to the nearest pay phone. She came back minutes later.
"I got there as fast as I could." Snowy said, looking past me at William. "I hope he's all right."
The ambulance came, picked William Thomas up, and left. They listed him as "critical condition."
A few days later, we all went to visit William, who had recovered and was now resting.
"Hi." William said, trying to talk with a tube stuck up a nostril. "I'm sorry I caused you guys all this trouble."
"That's all right." Nakita said. "I'm sorry we almost got you run over by a car." She winced. "Okay, so you DID get run over, but that wasn't what I meant."
"I was watching from the other side of the road." William said. Doughboy started to cough loudly, until Snowy jabbed her elbow into his rib cage. "I saw this kid with blue hair and you guys chasing each other around."
"Chasing?" Liz asked.
"Well, with a stick." William said. Then the nurse came in, and shooed us out, saying, "He needs rest."
"Listen, William Thomas knows too much." Doughboy said.
"Oh no!" Nakita said. "You can't kill him."
"I didn't say that."
"Well, when people say someone knows too much, they also say, 'We need to get rid of him.'"
"Not like that." Doughboy pulled out his pendant from inside his shirt. Snowy tilted her head and looked at him strangely. "Well, it looks like something a girl would wear, so I decided to hide it." Kanari laughed and Nakita rolled her eyes ("There's more to risk than looking good, Doughboy." Nakita said)("Well, I AM a boy." Doughboy replied hotly.) "Anyways, I found out how we can revise his memory."
"WHAT?" Snowy opened her eyes widely.
"Yeah." Doughboy said. "You point the pendant towards the person and say, "Memorization' and it will erase whatever you want, as long as you concentrate on the right thing. Anyone care to demonstrate?"
"You mean be demonstrated on?" Nakita asked. Doughboy nodded. "NO!" She backed away from him.
"Okay, so we're going to do this to William how?" Kanari asked, flipping through her bag. She pulled out a slip of paper. "I have his address, anyone?"
"Lemme see that." Snowy grabbed the paper. "250 Lakeshore Dr. Interesting."
"Lakeshore Drive?" Liz asked. "William must live across the street from me."
"PERFECT." Kanari said. "I'm out of here. You can have the job, Liz."
"I don't think so." Liz said. "The only person that knows how to revise the memory system is Doughboy, so I guess he'll have to go."
"Why can't I be blessed with the justice angels first?" Nakita asked. "I want to see how it's done."
"That's the whole point." I said. "We DON'T know how it's done."
"Okay." Doughboy said. "Here's the deal. We'll sneak in at night -I hope you have a good card for this, Yuki- and then I'll revise the memory."
"Better yet." I said, flipping through my card. "We'll get the sleep card, find him somewhere, cast him under a spell, and revise his memory. That's better than sneaking through his window late at night. The whole neighborhood will think we're burglars."
"Er." Snowy said, while Kanari laughed. "Let's go outside and talk. I keep thinking that hospitals have security cameras." We gave each other a look, and walked out.
"It's not as if he knows that much anyways." Nakita said, walking out the front door. "PUH-LEAZE."
"We can try at E-Team." I suggested. Doughboy frowned.
"Don't you guys have other people at E-Team as well?" Doughboy asked. I nodded, and raised a finger.
"But." I said. "I can tell him we're meeting in the wrong classroom."
"Good." Kanari said. "I want to be there." Nakita nodded too.
"Okay, so just Doughboy, Nakita, and Kanari." Liz said. "The less the best. Nakita and Kanari will take guard and you will work. Oh, and of course, Yuki will be there to work the card."
"Won't he see me work the card?"
"Not if Doughboy re-memorizes that too."
"Hey, I wonder." Rene said. "Could this help us memorize tests better?" Snowy shrugged.
"I supposed." She said. "But let's not use it. We leave our magic to beneficial emergency occasions, remember?"
"I really want to grant you two powers." I said. "But I just can't. Let me see if I can remember what Eriol said." I closed my eyes and tried to strain my memory. Meanwhile, Doughboy was operating his pendant (Yes, behind my back, and even though everyone else knew, they never told me!)
The scene came back to me:
"He has the Jewel, I captured it, and he thinks it's all a dream." Eriol smiled. "Very simple. And the Jewel Bearers don't have powers. Only the ones that are christened by the gods do."
"The god?" Rene asked.
"The angels of liberty." Eriol pointed to Snowy, Doughboy, Liz, and I. "Those who suck enough power of the angels will be able to sense things."
"That doesn't help." I said, whining, opening my eyes, and catching Doughboy operating the pendant. "Doughboy!"
"Hey, it works!" He said. "Go me."
"I don't know the words to the christening." I said. "Ooh, maybe Colton could tell us?"
"Maybe." Snowy said. "But let's worry about William for now."
The next week, after William returned to school, on an E-Team day (Wednesday) I told William that practice was in Mrs. Weeks's class that day (as if E-Team could actually classify as math…well, some parts do, I guess) and he believed me. Kanari and Nakita wandered the hallways for wandering teachers and stopped them in their tracks, asking them class questions. The math teacher had gone to get a cup of coffee, so we were safe for the time being. I was hidden behind a counter, and Doughboy was there too.
"Okay, Sleep Card, make William Thomas go to sleep! Sleep, Return and Dispel!" I was trying to be soft, but it wasn't working all that well. William turned his head. "Release."
"What?" William asked, and saw a blue figure of a little girl with a wand come his way. A minute later, he blacked out.
As I "Return to Your Powers Confined!" the Sleep Card, Doughboy "Memorization" ed William's memory, the parts in the park and what he had just seen. Then Doughboy went out, gave Kanari and Nakita the signal, and all three left. I woke William up, and pretended I had gotten the wrong room. He rolled his eyes and just walked out after me, never mentioning anything. We were still safe.
