Touya's Turn

In homeroom before the bell . . .

"An engagement party?"

"Yes! I wish I could have thrown you one when you two first got engaged, but you were Hong-Kong and I was clueless." Tomoyo eyed Sakura. "Why didn't you call me or e-mail me to tell me about you and Syaoran?"

Sakura flushed as she shifted in her seat. "We were sort of busy . . ."

Chiharu and Rika giggled.

"I think an engagement party will be wonderful!" exclaimed Naoko.

Sakura looked at her classmates. Everyone was eager to throw a party for Sakura and Syaoran.

"I don't know . . ." muttered Syaoran. He didn't want Sakura to be at risk at a party full of people.

Takashi elbowed him in the ribs. "Come on! It won't be that bad."

Eriol nodded. "Don't be such a recluse."

Syaoran sighed and looked at Sakura. She shrugged her shoulders and smiled. "Fine! Have a party."

A cry of excitement erupted from their group and the rest of the class turned around.

Takashi jumped up onto his desk and began to wave his arms around, a big grin on his face. "Tomoyo's throwing an engagement party for Sakura and Syaoran. Everyone's invited!"

Applause and cheers were given.

Syaoran flushed furiously and groaned, burying his head in his hands.

"I hope the invitation extends to teachers, too."

The class immediately quieted down as Wolfe-sensei stepped into the classroom.

Tomoyo smiled. "Of course, Wolfe-sensei! The party will be on Saturday at six at my place. The dress is formal."

Sakura paled. She didn't! She did! She invited him to the party! She sent Syaoran a look.

He frowned. He couldn't do anything about their teacher coming to the party now that Tomoyo had invited him. And if they told Tomoyo's security to keep Wolfe-sensei out of the party, he could be able to use magic.

Syaoran would have to keep a close eye on Sakura.

*~*

At lunch . . .

Sakura was looking very worried when she, Syaoran, Eriol and Tomoyo sat on the bleachers. Naturally she was concerned about the party and Wolfe-sensei.

Tomoyo eyed her best friend. "What's wrong, Sakura?"

Sakura reluctantly told Eriol and Tomoyo about her suspicions. "But it's not your fault. You didn't know."

"But I feel so bad now! I'm sorry," replied Tomoyo.

Eriol spoke up. "We'll have to keep a close eye on Sakura on Saturday. Everything will be fine."

Syaoran wanted to believe that. But something was telling him differently.

*~*

Syaoran threw his book bag onto his couch with a sigh as he entered his apartment. He kicked off his shoes, placed them by the door and slipped on a pair of slippers.

He stifled back a yawn and trudged into the kitchen for a snack.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhh! Oh my GOD, you scared me!" he shouted, glaring at Mei-lin who was sitting at his kitchen table eating a sandwich. "What are you doing here?"

She leaned back in her chair. "Just looking around. You haven't invited me over yet."

Syaoran went to the fridge and pulled out some milk. He poured it into a glass and grabbed a pack of Oreo's. Taking a seat next to her, he grumbled, "It looks like you've invited yourself."

A secretive smile appeared on her face. "Well, you won't have to invite me over anymore."

Syaoran narrowed his eyes and put down the cookie he was about to eat. "What have you done now?"

Her smile widened. "Klein and Sanori have given me permission to live here with you!"

Syaoran shot out of his chair. "WHAT?! No way!"

"Yes, way."

Syaoran snatched the phone from the hook and punched in the number to the mansion. He spoke to a butler and told him to put his mother on the phone.

"Did you tell Mei-lin that she could stay at my apartment?"

"Yes. After all, she is your age and it's not fair for her to have to live here with all of us old people," his mother said.

"But MOOOOMMMMM . . ."

"Don't whine, Syaoran. Besides, I'm not sure a young boy your age- who happens to have a VERY beautiful fiancée- should be living alone."

"But-"

"No buts."

"But-"

"Goodbye Syaoran. And don't worry. We'll be leaving at the end of the school year, remember?" With that, she hung up the phone.

Syaoran stared at the phone in his hand, muttered a curse and then slammed it down onto the table. He pointed a finger at his cousin. "You- stay out of my business, my stuff . . . don't annoy me."

She smiled sweetly at him. "Of course."

*~*

Sakura approached Xiefa's room in the Li mansion. She had received news about Xiefa from Sunni, saying that she was awake and wanted to speak to her. Sakura clutched a teddy bear in one arm and a box of chocolates in the other.

She knocked on Xiefa's door.

"Come in!" came the reply.

When Sakura entered, Xiefa was sitting up, watching the television. She smiled weakly at Sakura as she sat on the edge of her bed.

Sakura handed her friend the gifts she had brought. "I heard that you wanted to talk to me."

Xiefa nodded and thanked Sakura. "About what happened . . . I think I know who attacked me. And so does Sunni, Klein and my mother."

Sakura frowned. "Really? They haven't told me or Syaoran."

"Then I'll tell you- it was Yukio."

She paled and gasped. "Yukio?"

Xiefa nodded. "I came across his picture when I was doing some research a while ago in our library. So when he attacked me, I recognized him."

"But I thought you were attacked from behind."

"I was. But it was weird . . . it was like I had an out of body experience. Suddenly, just as he began to drain me, I could see him and me."

Sakura's eyes widened. "Wow."

The older girl leaned forward. "I have a tip for you. Keep an eye on your brother. He's the next target."

"How do you know?"

"I saw the future. You know, sort of like what you did when you had that vision about me. You know that Touya can see spirits."

Sakura wrinkled her eyebrow. "Yes. So, when do you think this will happen?"

Xiefa leaned back and shrugged her shoulders. "I don't know. Just . . . keep an eye out for him, please."

*~*

Sakura was pretending to do her homework when the telephone rang. Yes, she was pretending. All she could think about was Touya and his safety.

She groped for the phone and picked it up.

"Hello?" she mumbled.

"Woah! You don't sound too good, Sakura."

She let out a sigh. It was Syaoran. "I've had a rough day. I went to see Xiefa."

"Yeah, Mom told me she was awake. How is she?" asked Syaoran.

"Better, but . . ." she hesitated, then continued. "She told me that . . . what happened to her would happen to my brother."

"What?"

Sakura told him the whole story. "So now I can't think about anything else but Touya."

He let out a sigh. "Well, and I was going to tell you about MY troubles. Never mind."

"No, what? Go on."

"Mei-lin is now living with me. Can you believe that? If she wanted to get out of the mansion, why didn't she get her own apartment?!"

Sakura narrowed her eyes. It was a bit suspicious. "Did you talk to your mother?"

"Yep. And she basically said deal with it. My life is over."

Sakura giggled. It felt good. "No it's not, silly."

"Of COURSE it is!!" he cried. "You do realize that now, we won't get an ounce of privacy?!"

Sakura smiled. "I'm sure we'll find some way."

"Right. Look, I've got a lot of homework and I'm sure you do too. Keep an eye out on Touya, okay?"

"Okay. Love you. Bye."

"Love you too. Bye."

Sakura stared at the phone and sighed. Nothing was going right these days.

She nearly fell out of her seat when she had another vision, this time of Touya. He was in the library/basement of their house in the same place that she'd found the Clow Cards.

She leapt out of her chair and dashed down the stairs. She was opening the door to the library when she heard an ear-splitting cry.

As she neared the place where Touya was, she grabbed a thick book from a shelf.

Sakura spotted a man with his arms wrapped around her brother, squeezing him tight. A dark blue light surrounded them.

Sakura raised the book above her head and brought it down on the head of Touya's attacker. His attacker let out a howl of pain and whirled around. The blue light disappeared as Touya fell to the ground.

"What do you think you're doing?" Yukio roared, grabbing Sakura's wrists and twisting them.

Touya glared at the strange man who was hurting his baby sister. "Let . . . her . . . GO!" He launched towards the man and sent him flying.

Yukio slapped Touya away and glared at Sakura. "You'll pay for this." With a puff of smoke, he was gone.

Sakura helped her brother up. "Are you okay?"

He nodded. "Who was that? What the HELL is going on?"

She wrapped her arm around his waist and led him upstairs. "It was Yukio. For some reason he seems to be draining people who have some sort of magical power. Last time he got Xiefa."

"You mean Syaoran's sister? Oh, man. This guy means business."

Sakura nodded. "I'm just afraid that . . . that this means something big is going to happen. Soon."

Author's Note: Hahahahaha! I'm BACK! Okay, the next chapter is when things begin to pick up. Please R+R. I'm soooo mad! I missed the Card Captors episode on Saturday, but I knew which on they would be showing (from the commercial). But still, it's not like actually seeing it . . . I want re-runs! (I never thought that I'd say that!)
