The Pretty Card
Chapter 4: The Adventure Begins
"Hey, Madison! Wait up!" Sakura quickened her pace to catch up with her friend.
"Hello, Sakura," Madison said grinning.
"All the guys who've seen me are acting really strange," Sakura said with an annoyed look on her face. "They're all 'stunned by my beautiful face.' Even Kero and Touya think I'm the absolute most gorgeous creature in the universe! Just getting here I've gotten ten honks, 2 flowers, one guy driving into a tree, and 2 guys roller blading into a tree" CRASH! "Make that three. What is going on?"
"That's weird. I can't explain Kero or Touya but maybe you look really nice today. Are you wearing makeup?" Madison peered at Sakura's face.
"NO!" Sakura gently pushed Madison's face away. "I just can't figure out why they're acting like I'm the queen of the world."
Madison shrugged. "No clue. At least I get to tape it all!" Madison exclaimed, holding up her pink video camera and giving Sakura a mile long grin.
Sakura sweat dropped.
~~~~***~ Sakura's School ~***~~~~
CRASH!
SMACK! And
BANG! Could be heard down the hall as Sakura walked past any guy - even the 48-year-old principal!
All the girls glared furiously at Sakura while every guy just stared, drooling. Sakura was thoroughly repulsed. "Ugh. This is officially gross. Guys who didn't used to know I exist are watching my every move," Sakura whispered to Madison.
"You're probably just the 'highlight of the day', Madison said cheerfully, walking slightly faster to keep up with Sakura. "By tomorrow it'll all blow over."
When the two friends reached their first class' room, Yulin was standing in the doorway. "Oh God," Sakura thought, "This cannot be good."
"How's my favourite girl, Sakura?" Yulin asked smoothly.
"Fine," she snapped. "Now move your ass out of the way so Madison and I can get through." Clearly, Sakura was not in a good mood.
Yulin came towards Sakura. She placed her foot behind her so she would be ready to turn and run.
"Oh Sakura, you don't need to be afraid," Yulin said, reaching out his arm to caress her - uh - let's just say upper front.
Instantly Li was between them, facing Yulin. He grabbed Yulin's outstretched arm and pushed in backwards. Yulin stumbled and fell to the ground.
"You shall never be in the presence of this beautiful young lady again, you repulsing monstrosity," Li said, disgusted with Yulin.
He turned towards Sakura with the oh-so-familiar dreamy look in his eyes. "This way, my sweet princess," Li said, offering her his arm. She figured that she might as well take it, did, and stepped into the classroom. When they stepped in front of Yulin, who wsa still on the ground, Li swept Sakura into his arms. He stepped over Yulin and continued carrying Sakura to her desk, pushing many people out of the way.
"Thanks Li," she said to Li after mouthing "Sorry" to all the people that Li had pushed.
As classes commenced, all eyes were always on Sakura. Madison enjoyed taping all of it. Somehow she had snuck her video camera in school. The teachers were probably too busy dealing with other problems. Lunch break was a different story. Guys surrounded Sakura when she was sitting under a tree. The only way she managed to escape for half of it was to point in the opposite direction and shout, "Look! There's Sakura!" Responding to her name, the boys all looked. Being as flexible as she was, she'd jump up into the tree.
Sakura ended up ditching school after lunch. It was better to stay away until this phase passed over. Meilin and Madison skipped with her- what're friends for. (By the way, Meilin had gotten over Li-kun a LOOOOOOONG time ago, and was now dating her hot chem. partner - a guy for all you disturbed freaks out there. Imagine - a guy hotter than Heero Yuy, Duo Maxwell, Trowa Barton, Quatre Winner and Li all in one. Prrow!) Meilin, like Li, had her own apartment so the three girls decided to 'hang' there.
"Anybody want something to drink?" Meilin called from the kitchen, her head peeking around the corner, so Sakura and Madison, who were sitting on the couch, could hear her.
"Yes please!" Madison told her politely. "Water's fine."
"Some milk for me," Sakura said, trying to think of possible ways to stop the madness inflicted upon her life.
Meilin soon brought their drinks and came to sit down with them. "So, what're we doing?" she asked.
"We're trying to think of ways to stop the madness that has been imposed, or so it seems that has been cast on the men of this world to believe that she is very pulchritudinous," Madison stated matter-of-factly.
Meilin stared at her, then looked at Sakura. "English please?" she said in a small voice.
Sakura sighed. "She means why all the guys think I'm the miracle they've been waiting for. Now, can I please try and sense a Clow card?"
Everyone fell silent.
At about 3:30 p.m. the door burst open, disrupting Sakura's thought (Madison and Meilin got bored and were silently playing a card game).
"Meilin, have you seen Sakura?" Li's eyes slowly shifted and his and Sakura's gazes met.
"Oh, please no," Sakura thought. "God, why did you have to do this, again? Refresh my memory!"
"My beautiful queen," Li said in a very serious tone, down on one knee in front of her, his head bowed, "pardon my soul for speaking so rudely in front of you."
Sakura, Meilin, and Madison stared at him.
"That's it, it's definitely a Clow card," the three girls said in unison.
"The problem is, I can't figure out why I can't sense its presence," Sakura said, confused. Li was oblivious and wouldn't speak anymore in Sakura's presence
"Can we take this capturing thing elsewhere?" Meilin asked. "I do not want my house ruined."
"Good idea," Sakura agreed, "let's go to the surrounded clearing a block away from it.
