Ohayo! I recently looked at my chapters and found out that chapter 3 is the longest.....so far! Right now we're about in the middle of the series. There will be-counting this one-six or seven more. Later on I will make a sequel....possibly. Oh, and if any one has a nice Japanese-or not-name suggestion please tell me in your review! Ok, I'll stop babbling and let you read something more interesting. Oh, and Prince Champagne, I'm glad you like the story! Sorry you got sick while reading ch.3, next time I'll put a warning on! I'm sorry that Mika hasn't been in the chapters much, but she is definitely in it from now on! Also, the sequel to this story is gonna be about Sakura and Syaoran protecting their daughter from the grasp of evil! That's all you'll get outta me on the sequel! Enjoy!

Chapter 5~ The Truth revealed and a Stone found.

Kirin sat at her desk, staring blankly at the writing on the blackboard. The class was learning about The Sorceress of Legend, which the Sensei believed to be a fairytale made up by a rich family in Hong Kong, China; but Syaoran knew that his family didn't make up that legend, that it was true.


Kirin came back to reality when someone sneezed. Her eye's closed tight as she yelped in pain. With her hands on her stomach, she opened her eyes half way and saw that the whole class was staring at her. She tried to get out of her desk, from her left side, but she could only fall out. Before she could hit the floor, Kale caught her. She was laying partially on the floor with her left arm at her side, no longer covering her right. "Kirin, what happened? What's wrong?" Kale asked, becoming frantic. She didn't answer. She only lifted her right hand up and saw blood on it. She then set her arm down at her side and closed her eyes in pain, falling unconscious.


Eriol knelt down next to her and quickly took her shirt off, using it to stop the bleeding from her back. He then took his shirt off and used it to do the same, but in the front. The whole class was gathered around, wondering what happened; all-that is-except Mika, who was siting in her desk still facing the board, a smile adorning her lips as if nothing had happened."Syaoran, go to the office and tell them to call for help." the Sensei instructed. But before he could do anything, Eriol stopped him. "No, wait. Something's happening!" he said. That got Mika's attention. She turned to see the now fully unconscious teen. A glowing sphere, the size of a quarter, materialized above Kirin's chest. She was then incased in a clear sphere and lifted off of the floor, leaving the blood stained shirts.


She was taken to the back of the room, not very far from her desk. She was then placed on her feet as the sphere began to enclose. As it passed through/over Kirin her school uniform-or what was left of it-was replaced by a long, sleeveless red Chinese dress. Two slits ran from just below the waist down. The same black Chinese symbols that are on Syaoran's battle outfit were on the dress, too. Two glowing strips came from the sphere, snaked around both sides of her neck, and tied in the back. Her ponytail now had red and black ribbons tied around it's base. The sphere then stopped glowing and fell to Kirin's chest, being held in place around her neck by the two pieces of leather. The whole class gasped at the sight. 'It is The Stone of Secrets! That incredible emerald! I must have it!' Mika thought, glaring at the jewel. Mika then quietly made her way to the door and was about to open it when a force pulled her back and tossed her into the closest wall.




Mika heard a low chuckle. "Where do you think you're going, Mika?" Kirin asked with a voice of ice. "None of your business, Kirin!" she hissed back as she stood. Mika glared at Kirin a bone chilling glare. Kirin opened her eyes and looked at Mika, responding by giving her one just as bad; Kirin's famous blood curdling glare. "I know who you are, Mika." Kirin said harshly. "It's been along time." she smirked. "Well, well, well. Little Kirin has figured it out! I must say, I was expecting you to take a while longer. I guess that which life time your in doesn't matter, you'll still be as powerful as you were in your last life." Mika said as her school clothes dissolved into a black and purple dress. "You tried to kill me, Mika, the same way you killed me three centuries ago." Kirin said coldly. "Yes, well, it looks like that didn't work. That means I'll just have to kill you the hard way, Miyuki!" Mika yelled the last part, a black sword forming in her hands. Kirin turned toward Mika as she charged. Just as Mika was about to hit Kirin, a sword with a silver blade and golden hilt appeared in her hands and blocked the blow.


"Miyuki, you're such a pest! Why won't you just stay dead?" Mika hissed. "Why do you want me dead so badly, Mika? You've already punished me for killing your mother! So why do you still want me dead?" Kirin asked in a serious voice. "I don't want only you dead, I also want Kale, Eriol, and Syaoran dead because you are all in my way!" she answered. "How are we in your way?" Eriol asked, stepping forward. "All four of you guard the Cherry Blossom! And she is carrying what I want!" Sakura stepped up beside Eriol. "What do you mean by I'm carrying what you want?" she asked. "What I want....is your child, you idiot. I want to kill it before it is even born!" Mika chuckled. Sakura took a couple steps back and rested her hand in her stomach, shocked. "You'll never have her!" Sakura yelled. "That's what you think, Cherry Blossom! Wether you like it or not, I will have her!" she chuckled. Kirin stepped in front of Sakura, her sword up protectively, and voiced coldly, "Over my dead body." Mika laughed. "Gladly! Next time we meet, I will kill you all!" and she vanished.


Kirin's sword disintegrated into the emerald and she turned around to Sakura. "Are you ok, Sakura?" she asked gently. "Hai. Genki desu!" she answered, smiling. "Are you sure, Sakura-chan?" Tomoyo asked. "Hai!"

Sakura sat down in her desk and looked at all the wide eyed teen's and the Sensei. "Ano, what about them?" she asked pointing. "Ummm....

Eriol?!" Eriol sighed. "Fine. I'll take care of them." and he wiped the memory, of what just happened, from every ones minds.

~.....~

Sakura, Syaoran, and Tomoyo sat on the couch while Eriol and Kale sat in chairs, Kero sat on the coffee table, and Kirin stood. The room was silent for less than a minute. "Sakura, how could you not tell me that you're pregnant?" Kero asked, oddly calm. "Gomen, Kero! Are you mad at me?"

"For not telling me? Yeah. For getting pregnant in the first place.....No! If anything, I'm happy for you!"

"You don't sound happy..."

"That would be because it's the Gaki's kid!" Kero exclaimed. "Shut up, Stuffed Animal!" Li smirked. "What did you call me???" Kero yelled through gritted teeth. Sakura couldn't hold in her giggle at their behavior. "Why can't you act like adults for once? It's not going to kill you!" Kirin snapped.


Tomoyo looked at Kirin and asked, "Now that we know what Mika is after, how do we stop her?"

"Hold up. What is this 'Mika' after?" everyone sweat dropped. "Try to keep up, Stuffed Animal! She's after our baby."

"Oh...um, why?"

"That's what we'd like to know, Kero." Eriol answered. "Oh." was all he said. Kirin cleared her throat, turning every ones attention back to her. "Any ways, to stop Mika.....we have to kill her."

"But, Kirin, isn't there any other way?"

"No, Sakura. Mika can't be changed. She's to evil. Everyone from that clan was evil." she answered quietly. Tomoyo was confused. "Was? Kirin, what do you mean 'was'?"


"Mika..." Eriol began, "...is the last member in her clan; the only survivor. Miyuki and Ryo wiped everyone else out when they killed Natoru."

"Wiped everyone else out?" Tomoyo asked. "Hai. By the time Ryo and I were old enough to fight, there were only 5 members left; not including Mika. 4 men and Natoru. After I killed her, we thought the whole line was wiped out. But, then, not even five minutes after Natoru died, Mika appeared; proving us wrong." Tomoyo nodded, "oh." Eriol continued, "Once Mika is dead, the line will finally be destroyed!"

"I hope..." Kirin murmured. Sakura was confused. "You hope what?" she asked. Kirin looked at Sakura, surprised that she heard.


She sighed, "I hope Mika hasn't had any children. If she does have at least a daughter, we'll have more work to do." Eriol nodded, "It's a possibility." "We all hope that she hasn't." Kale responded. "Ano....what exactly was this clan? And why do...did...they hate the Li Clan Family?" Kero asked. "You wanna answer that one, Kale?" Kirin said, kneeling down next to the small table. "Fine. About four centuries ago, Clow's ancestors entered a war with that Clan because of two things; Power and Alliance. The Li clan wouldn't ally with them because one was dark and one was light, or good and evil. And the Clan wanted our Clan's power." Kale explained.


Kirin closed her eyes and rested her chin in her hand. "Mika got to us....but, thankfully she never found out about Yohko." she said quietly. Sakura's eyebrow lifted in curiosity, "who is Yohko?" she asked, turning Kirin and Kale an interesting shade of red. "Yohko........was our daughter." Kale answered. Everyone-save Eriol, of course-looked at the two, shock and surprise on their faces. Kirin looked at their expressions and, still blushing, smiled.


Becoming more serious, Kirin explained. "Shortly after my 17th birthday, I had Yohko. Syaoran, you should recognize her name. She was born Yohko Reed (sounds dumb, I know) and died Li Yohko. If I'm not mistaken, she's the great, great grandmother of your mother's great, great, great grandmother!(I'm gust guessing here.) She lived her life to the fullest and died at the age of 105, I think." Eriol exclaimed, "I remember her!"

"I would hope so, you idiot! Clow Reed took care of her!" Kirin hissed. "I recognize the name, but that's all. Gomen." Kirin smiled. "That's ok, Syaoran."


Kirin became serious, "Now, is it just me or did we stray from the subject?"

"We strayed." everyone replied. "Ok. Sakura,"

"Yeah, Kirin?"

"To defeat Mika you will need more than the Clow-sorry, Sakura Cards. You'll need real magic." Kirin stated, pulling a book out of thin air.


To Be Continued...

Syaoran: That was cruel!

Kirin: Exactly! It's fun! Hehe

Kale: She's cruel by nature.

Syaoran: Oh, I see.

Kirin: Oh, shut up! Both of you! Oh! And please R+R! But not you two. **points finger at the two boys** **then pulls the gold and silver sword out of nowhere**

Syaoran: **looks a bit nervous** what do we do now, Kale?

Kale: One word. Run! **both run away with Kirin hot on their tails**

Eriol: **chuckles** That should teach them not to talk about her! Especially when she has a sword close by. **grins evilly and holds up the sword's sheath**
