Adventures: Fatherly advice 3
By Shirono

Sakuri banged on the door.
"NADESHIKO-SAAAN! You're gonna be late for school!"
Nadeshiko poked her head out the window. "NEEE! Ohmygod! I'll be there in a second!"
Nadeshiko pulled some clothes on quickly and ran downstairs.
"Wheres the fire?" asked Syaoran.
"I'm gonna be late fer school!" she said, slipping on a pair of rollerblades and munching on a piece of toast.
"Ne, Nadeshiko, It 20 minutes to 8:00. It only takes you 5 minutes to get to school." Sakura said, sitting down at the kitchen table.

The toast fell out of Nadeshiko's mouth.
She went over to the door and swung it open.
"Sa-Ku-RIIIII!!!!"
Sakuri smiled, holding up a video camera. "You look so cute when you're angry."
Nadeshiko huffed.
"Come in, would you?"
She nodded."I got you up, didn't I? Don't be so grumpy."

A familiar scene, Sakura thought. It was just like herself and Tomoyo, as 11 year olds.
Except for one thing.
Nadeshiko returned the love that Sakuri's side of the family missed for two generations.
There was a bike bell ringing from outside.
Syaoran waved as the two girls bounded out the door.

"Ne, Usagi-kun, nice to see you." Nadeshiko said to Li-kun, who was on his bike.
Li sweatdropped. "Ug."
He didn't like to be called "Usagi", but thats the way it had been all his life.
"Konnichi-wa, Ihyou-san."
"Konnichi-wa! " she squealed, standing on the back of the bike with her hands on Li's shoulders.

Nadeshiko smirked. "Usagi, your wings are showing."
"Aiee!" Li-kun spun around suddenly, knocking over the bike and Ihyou with it.
"Li-kun!" Ihyou shouted.
"She is lying, Li-kun, " Sakuri said monotonously.
Li fumed, and helped Ihyou up.
He growled. "Thats not funny!"
But apparently, it was to Nadeshiko, who was laughing insanely.

They weren't , of course. He had on a special suit that keps his wings as falt as possible. He had lived for 11 years without anyone noticing. So had Ihyou.

"Let's go, " said Ihyou, rubbing her thigh.
"Hai, " they all agreed. Nadeshiko took Sakuri's hand and they rode behind Li and Ihyou.
Sakuri blushed.

A little boy was sitting in a tree, watching them and fileing his long maroon nails.
"Li-kun? Or shall I say, Keroberos? Get ready...the fun is about to begin."
"Ruby, are you sure now is the time?"
"Yes, Spinel. It is time." He replied, turning to the boy beside him. He had long, jet-black hair, and butterfly wings.
"Ruby, would you like your suit?" he said, handing the wing suit to the red-headed, black-winged boy.
"Hai. I'm going into the school. Its about time Sakuri Fasu Hiiragizawa lived up to her namesake!"
Spinel put on his suit. They jumped down from the tree and followed to magical quartet to school.

Sakuri was talking to Nadeshiko outside her homeroom. Since Sakuri was two years younger than Nadeshiko, she wasn't in the same class.
"But I have to clean my room this weekend, Sakuri. Besides, Mom is gonna teach me a new spell with..."
She paused. A cold chill ran up her spine.
"Sacrifice...."
"What???" Sakuri wailed.
Nadeshiko looked confused. "What?"
"I told you not to call me that!"
"Call you what?"
"Don't you remem-" Sakuri trailed off.
the bell rang.
"Nevermind. See you at lunch." she waved.
"Saya!" Nadeshiko called, entering the room.

Sakuri Fasu.
Sacrifice.

Nadeshiko walked into homeroom and sat behind Li-kun. "Usagi-kun, your hair's a mess."
"No its NOT," he said turning around and leaning on her desk.
"It is now." She rubbed her hands through his long blonde hair.
"ARRRG!" he fumed.
He spun around, trying to ignore Nadeshiko's howling laughter.
Suddenly, he felt something.
He stood up, turned, and grabbed Nadeshiko by the shoulders, looking into her eyes hard.
He watched him out of the corner of his eye.
A red-haired boy with long maroon colored nails.
Nadeshiko was used to this routine. When Li-kun sensed danger, his first reaction was to protect her.
The boy sat behind Nadeshiko and smiled.
Li let go of her. He mouthed the words "watch out" and turned back.
Nadeshiko tried hard not to turn around and look at him. She really did. But he tapped on her shoulder.
"Aiie!"
Everyone in the room turned.
She laughed, nervously, and turned to him. "K..ko..konnichi-wa." she stammered.
"Ohayo, Nadeshiko. My name is Tsukino Ruby."
She smiled. He wasn't that scary.
"Hai. You new?"
"Have you ever seen me before?" he replied charmingly.
She beamed. He was a witty one. "I haven't. Glad I did, though. Good luck."
He nooded. "Arigatou."

Nadeshiko was sitting under a tree that Li-kun was sitting in.
"Usagi-kun?"
"Hai."
"Can you....leave?"
"NO." he said firmly.
"But its LUNCH time, " she whined.
"Theres danger here. I sense it."
"But...but....Sakuri! It's me and Sakuri time! Go away!" She yelled, throwing an apple up at him. It hit him, and he fell down.
"OOOofff....."
Sakuri walked over.
"Ne, am I interrupting something, darling?"
"No, Sakuri. Sit down, please. I brought muffins."
Li rubbed his head.
"Usagi-kun, could you go now?"
"No."
She groaned.
"Its okay, " Sakuri said, putting a hand on Nadeshiko's. "Ihyou told me she felt a bad magic here too."

Two boys walked up to the scene.
"Tsukino!" Nadeshiko said. "Hey! You wanna join the party?" she smiled at him, "You and your friend?"
Sakuri glared at him as he walked by.
"Pansha, meet Nadeshiko Li. Nadeshiko, this is Pansha Spinel." Pansha shook Nadeshiko's hand.
Sakuri growled.
Nadeshiko waved a hand at her as if to say "No one is stealing me."
Sakuri relaxed.
Pansha and Tsukino sat down under the tree.
Tsukino looked at Sakuri suddenly, as if he had just noticed her.
"My, you must be Sakuri!" he took her hand,"You're cuter then they say." he grinned romantically.
Sakuri growled again and latched onto Nadeshiko's arm.
Nadeshiko sweatdropped.
"Um...she's taken."

"Yes, she is." Said Pansha, standing up, and grinning evilly.
Sakuri blinked. "Ne?"
Tsukino was gone.
Li yelled, "Sakuri!" Tsukino was behind her, and grabbed her by the back of her collar, yanking her up.
"AAAAAIII!"
Li put his hands together and chanted something in Chinese that Syaoran had taught him.
Suddenly, they were all outside of the school grounds, and in the penguin park. No one was around. Li opened his jacket and put on his harogomo. His wings opened in his new wing-suit, and he looked much like Keroberos.
He tried to strike at Ruby with his fire stream, but he chanted and blacked it.
"Sakuri!" Nadeshiko yelled. Li wouldn't let her get close.
Ihyou appeared on the scene, and opened her wings with her haragomo on. (She looked like a chibi-Yue!)
Ruby pulled his jacket off, and revealed his black wings. He poked the squirming Sakuri in the neck, and she fainted. He picked her up and flew up to a tree. Spinel took his jacket off and flew after him.

"Sakuriiiiii!!!" Nadeshiko yelled.
"Under the contract with my mother, wand of the Sakura stars, RELEASE!"
The Star wand appeared.
"Fly!"
She got on the wand and chased Ruby and Spinel, but to no avail. They had outrun her. Li and Ihyou grabbed her by the arms and forced her to come down.

Next:
Woh. Looks like the cardcaptoring bunch is all together again! RubyMoon, Spinel, Yue, Kero, The daughter of Sakura, and the daughter of Tomoyo. But what does Ruby want with Sakuri?
And why did the name "Sakuri Fasu" attract him? Will the love between the Kinomotos and the Daidouji's be torn apart again? Or was this love never meant to be?
