Chapter four:

Destruction card: now that's original....

Note:

OK, I know that this is getting dull now but I'm gonna get down to the intersting part (yes, that means it will have a plot soon) but I have to put in the boreing parts to start with, it kinda feels neccesary.

University on Monday morning thought Sakura as she pushed through the crowds, who'd want to go to university if they could see Monday mornings? After a small battle to get through she saw Madison leaning against her locker and smileing, waveing her over. As usual she was the very image of grace wearing a white shirt knotted above her belly and a pair of flared denims. How was it that she always managed to look perfect? Sakura felt clunky in her denim skirt, but apparantly Li didn't think so. Before she had time to say hi to Madison, her boyfriend had crept up behind her and slapped her butt with a cheecky grin.

Hey! Where did you go! asked Sakura after a small scolding and then a kiss, not that she wasn't still cross with him of course, You abandoned me to the corridors all on my own!I'm sorry, but I did manage to leave a message for Meilin, he told her.

A little busy last night where we! laughed Madison and Sakura turned bright pink, although, her friend noticed, she didn't deny it....

Anyway, I managed to leave a message.Leave a message for who? Towra had put his chin on Madisons shoulder just in time to hear the last words and he looked curiously at the group who were now suddenly, furiously sweat dropping.

(Insert image of Li with huge eyes falling over! Who's the little cutie den!)

Uhhh, Chelsea, you remember, from my old school? Madison, your life saver, thought Sakura, wondering if Madison took classes in excuse makeing.

You can't contact her? asked Towra.

No, but that's OK. You wanna go for a walk, you have a spare period right?Uhhhh, sure.

With Madison holding onto his arm and confusion writen all over his face, Towra started towards the exit.

Whew, she's a wonder, breathed Li, Lets go to philosiphy.

The pair began to move off down the hal towards the audotaurium where their lesson was. But they didn't get very far.

My locker! a girl with brown plaits was kneeling on the floor amongst the twisted reamins of her locker, It just, blew up!

Li and Sakura shared a knowing glance and, gripping each others hands ran forward to where to girl was kneeling. A small circle of watchers had gathered around her, but Li and Sakura elbowed their way to the front.

Li shut his eyes. Strange, there was no card. Maybe it had just been a fluke accident.....but Sakura was shakeing her head, clearly thinking the same as him.

It moved, she whispered, Lets go to philosiphy, it'll try and follow us. Besides, we have to present that report on improbability!

Li nodded, glad of the reminder.

Ah, there you two are, the philosiphy teacher glared at them with beady grey eyes, Since your late, you can give us your report on improbability. You've got the stage.

Sakura took threee sheets of paper from her bag and turnned to go down the steps into the centre of the auditorium where the stage was.

Li caught her arm.

The card, it's in here! We have to catch it before it causes any damage!

Sakura gritted her teeth for a moment. Then an idea occured to her, it might be hard to pull of, but....

You present our rept, she hissed, I'll be catching the card in the back ground. Catching a spirit in a card's pretty improbabale!

Li hesitated. It was pretty crazy, and besides, his first instinct was to wan to catch the card himself. Then again, that was what Meilin wanted, enough friction to pull them apart....

he took the papers from her and hurried down to the stage looking up at the slopeing seeats filled with waiting faces.

he announced, projecting his voice out, Improbability. Who's to say what's improbabale, he turned to look at Sakura who stood behind him holding the key, What do you think Sakura?

Right on que she started to chant.

Key of clow, power of magic, power of light, surrender the wand, the force ignite! Release! he turned back to the shocked faces, loveing all the attention, Pretty improbable huh? But then, different things are strange to different people, Sakura tapped him on the shoulder.

Can I borrow the lasen board? he pulled the board from beneath his papers and Sakura began to use it to find the card, he continued, If someone asked you if they could borrow a lasen board, you'd think they were crazy, right? But it's nothing weird in my family, wow, that really said something about his family he thought, It just proves how different people are and....Return to your powers confine! Destruction card!And defines improbability! shouted Li as the figure of a girl with horns was pulled into the card again.

A gasp went up in the watching audience.

Sakura stepped up with a smile.

Any questions? she asked.

Evry hand in the room went up.
