CardCaptors: A New Threat to Face
By: Nerd917
Still Monday
Sakura slowly skated home. Something about that laugh and just the
whole incident had shaken her up. She kept running the scenaio over
and over again in her mind. *"Kinomoto speaking. . . Hello?" Then that
laugh. It sounded so . . . evil and after dealing with the Clow cards,
evil was not something she wanted to mess with.*
While thinking of all this, she was paying little attention to where
she was going and knocked right into someone. She recognized them right
away and smiled.
"Yukito! (AN: Haha, you were probably thinkin, "Syaoran!", sorry, not
yet . . .) Sorry bout hitting you. How've you been? Touya's home from
college. Have you seen him?"
"Wow Sakura, you're chatty. It's ok, been good, I know, and no." Yukito
said with his trademark smile. "I'm not sure you're looking too good
though. You looked worried and deep in thought when I bumped into you.
Need to talk?"
No, that's okay. I think I can handle it." Sakura replied, knowing
that she was lieing and that it would be smart to tell someone that
she'd just received a mysterious call that scared her.
"All right, well do you mind if I walk with you? You are going home
aren't you? It's almost time for dinner and I want to catch up with
what Touya's been up to.
Sakura knew that he also wanted to eat with the Kinomoto family
because her dad was an incredible chef and Yukito made regular
appearences at the Kinomoto residence to "catch up" right when dinner
was expected to be ready, but she enjoyed his company all the same and
said, "Of course you can walk with me and by the time we get home, dad
will probably have dinner ready and I'm sure there will be enough for
you id you would like to eat with us."
"I know you know the answer to that already, Sakura, I'd love to." And
flashed another smile in her direction. They talked about random
subjects all the way to Sakura's house and once inside, could smell
the wonderful aroma of Kinomoto Fujitaka's cooking.
Sakura called up to Touya to tell him that Yukito was there and when
he came down the stairs, she had taken off her rollerblades and the
three of them trooped into the kitchen.
Mr. Kinomoto called to Sakura to set the table and soon turned around
with a platter of steaming dumplings. The four of them sat down at the
table and Mr. Kinomoto did a double take when he saw Yukito.
"When did you get here? I'm sorry, I didn't even notice. How's school
been?"
Yukito managed to pause his ravenous eating and swallow so that he
could talk. "That 's okay. I saw Sakura on her way home and she
invited me to dinner. I needed to Touya anyway and we just got in so
you were busy cooking. School's been good, my grades are good and the
cafeteria food isn't bad., they have some incredible cookies and the
lunchlady knows me by name and saves me the best." He gave everyone a
wide grin as they smiled and shook their heads at how such a slender
boy could eat so much food.
By the time they were all satiated on food, a steady stream of
conversation had begun. First Yukito, talked about what had been
happeneing to him at school OTHER than what had to do with food, and
then Touya talked about how wonderful his new girlfriend was while
Sakura made sly comments teasing him about his curse of not being able
to keep a decent girlfriend for very long.Then after Fujitaka had to
break up a feud between them about the longest time he'd actually kept
a girlfriend, he made an announcement.
"Sakura, since Tomoyo isn't here and Rita, Niki and Chelsea are gone
on vacation too, I've decided to send you to camp. I think a little
outdoors work wouldn't be too bad for you and it'll give you a chance
to make new friends and give me a chance to have a little time to
myself, sice your brother will be getting a job." At those words he
shot a meaningful glance to Touya who was pretending to be deep in
thought while looking at the tea that was left in his cup.
Sakura's eyes got big and a smile came to her face as she jumped out
of her chair and said, "REALLY?! I always wanted to go to camp! The
trees, the fresh air . . ."
"The bugs that'll eat you alive so you never come back. "Touya piped
in. At this Sakura stuck out her tongue at him.
"At least I won't be flipping hamburgers with 4 other acne-ridden
losers!"
Yukito looked from Sakura to Touya whose mouth was opening in closing
like a fish out of water, "She got ya there Touya."
Touya scowled, defeated and crossed his arms over his chest as
Fujitaka continued, "It starts Wednesday, and it's in Japan, but I
figure it will be easier if you just go to a hotel Tuesday night and
then drive up the next morning. Okay?"
"YES!!"
"Then it's settled. You'll need to start packing soon and be ready to
go by Tuesday morning."
"I WILL, I WILL!!"
"Now Sakura, this camp is co=ed and I'm sure the counselors will be
watching for any . . . ahem, troublemakers, but I want you to be
careful. There will be 17 year-old boys there and hormones flying like
crazy, so watchout for yourself."
Touya smirked, Yukito smiled and Sakura blushed,"Dad do you think we
could talk about things like that alone in the future?!"
"Ohhh, right. Sorry, didn't mean to embarrass you. Here, Touya, get
that look off your face because I'm not sure what you'll do while
we're gone, I'm not sure if you're much more mature than the 17
year-olds are."
At this, Sakura and Yukito both started laughing and Touya scowled.
"Thanks dad."
"Anyway, I think we should probably clean up." Mr Kinomoto resigned
and got up with some plates and his glass, followed by everyone else.
When everything was cleared, Sakura went up to her room with some
pudding for Kero.
"Kero, I have pudding and I'm gonna eat it if you're not fast."
She picked up the spoon and started to bring it to her mouth when
another mouth closed over it and pulled the spoon away.
"MINE!" Kero yelled as he consumed the pudding. Sakura just sat back
and laughed, watching her guardian clean the bowl, entirely forgetting
her disturbing phonecall, for the moment.
