Next Chapter! I'm sorry to all those people who were waiting for so long. This is my first fanfiction story and I got really annoyed with myself because I didn't know how to finish it. So I made up this lame chapter to give you all something to read. I'm very sorry. I seriously think that this chapter that I wrote is really bad because it seems like it doesn't have that… that.. spark? Oh whatever.. it just seems dull. Anyway. Enjoy my lame chapter and give me some feedback!
Oh! To the person who put their name as phoenixangel in the reviews. I was aiming for that. I speak cantonese and I put her name as Ping Gua on purpose to mean "apple" in chinese. To whoever is reading this, I named Si Mun after my friend Tracy from my cantonese school. Tracy's the best!
I'm sorry to the Meilin fans out there. I don't have Meilin in any of my stories because I don't know how to depict her as. Nice and understanding and finally realizing that Sakura should be with Syaoran, or mean and possessive… Maybe in the near future I'll write my fourth story with her in it…
Sorry I had to reupload this chapter. I put Friday night when Si Mun and Syaoran start to board the airplane. I actually wanted it as Saturday morning. Does anyone know how long it takes on a plane ride from Hong Kong to Japan? If so… PLEASE TELL ME!! I need it for the next chapter!
I'm very sorry I keep on switching from Japan to Hong Kong and vice versa. Its confusing to me since I'm writing it but I try to keep it so I tell you where the scene is at the *~*~*~*
The Master's Stone
Chapter 12
By: AznTiGeR1628
*~*~*~* Jing's apartment. Japan. Still first day of school from the previous chapter. Wednesday.
Sakura and Tomoyo looked around the apartment. All there was for furniture was a sofa, matching sofa chair (AN: do you know those one person sofas? What are they called?), coffee table in the living room and a table in the kitchen. There were two bedrooms. Only one was furnished with a bed and desk. The closet had clothes in it but not many.
After the brief look around the apartment, Sakura and Tomoyo sat on the sofa and Jing sat on the single person sofa.
Sakura asked her question again. "How do you know about the Clow cards?"
Jing took a deep breath. "I can't tell you who these people are but I'm a cousin of a person you know very, very well. My ancestor asked us to come and help you and my cousin. I can't tell you with what I'm helping you, but it is very important that I help protect you until he comes back with my other cousin."
Sakura looked confused. "Who are these people that you are telling us?"
Jing shook her head. "That's what I can't tell you yet."
"But still, how do you know about the Clow cards and how do you know how to use magic?" Tomoyo asked.
"I've known about the Clow cards and how to use magic ever since I started training with my cousin."
Jing took out her pendent. As before, it changed into the sword. Jing pointed at the orb in the middle of the golden hilt. "This is Dawn. It is one of the Twin orbs. My cousin has the other Twin orb called the Twilight orb. We are separated right now, but she will be here soon."
Still puzzled, Sakura asked a different question. "Where did that spider come from? Who sent it?"
Jing frowned. "I don't know where they came from but my cousin and I WILL find out who is behind this."
*~*~*~* Friday morning.
Si Mun did a backflip to get her sword that Syaoran had hit from her hand. She grabbed it as she landed and blocked a swipe. She did one of her rarely used move that she and Jing had been taught close to the end of their training. She turned all the way around and swung the sword around her head and fell into a split, left leg in front and right in back, with her sword held in front of her and pointing to Syaoran. He blocked it since if was aimed for his ankles. She swiped his sword away, leaned to the left and kicked her right leg out from beneath her and tripped Syaoran. His legs flew out from under him from that kick and his back hit the floor. Si Mun jumped up, did a no handed cartwheel and landed in front of him. She pointed the sword at his neck before he had even got the chance to sit up. Si Mun grinned.
*~*~*~* Hong Kong. Friday afternoon.
Si Mun sat bored during class. She idly twirled her pen as she watched the clock. This Geometry class was so boring.
'Come on! Two more minutes! It seems like forever!' Si Mun watched as the clock seemed to slow down as she watched it ticking by second after second. Si Mun sighed and turned to a blank page of her notebook and started to draw. She started with the eyes. They were supposed to be a dark brown color so she shaded it heavily. Then the eyebrows.. the nose… the mouth..
Lost in her drawing, Si Mun didn't hear the bell ring signaling that school was over for the day. As everyone stood up and started to gather their things, Syaoran and Ping noticed that Si Mun didn't grab her books and papers as usual. Also, today was Friday and they were to pack tonight and head for the airport tomorrow.
Syaoran and Ping saw everyone leave except Si Mun. So after they gathered their things, they walked up to her desk.
Si Mun was starting on the hair as she glanced to the edge of the desk and saw two pairs of sneakers on the floor next to the chair leg. She snapped upright, slammed her notebook together and gathered her things up as fast as possible.
"Okay lets go." Si Mun said as she stood up with all her books and her binder. Syaoran raised an eyebrow at her and looked down at her pile of books and spotted the notebook. Si Mun blushed but bonked him on the head and headed for the door. Ping laughed as Syaoran rubbed his head. Si Mun concentrated lightly.
He caught me drawing Jing.
She heard a loud giggle which turned into a loud laugh in her mind. Annoyed and embarrassed, she closed their connection.
Ping and Syaoran came up from either side as they started walking down the now empty hall. "So who was that Si Mun?" Syaoran teased. Ping grinned. "Yah. Who was that you were drawing?" Ping asked questioningly.
Si Mun could feel the red blush start to seep into her cheeks. "No one. So don't ask." Si Mun replied.
Syaoran shrugged at Ping. She shrugged back. They reached the car that Wei was in.
Ping turned to Si Mun. "So your not coming back? This is your last day at HKH?"
Si Mun and Syaoran nodded. "We have some unfinished ," Si Mun nudged Syaoran hard in the ribs and then coughs out 'Sakura' , "business in Japan."
"Good luck then." Ping said.
Si Mun looked at Ping thoughtfully. She stepped forward and gave Ping a light hug. "Maybe I'll see you soon."
Si Mun and Syaoran step into the car and close the door.
"Good Luck with everything!" Ping yelled as she watched them start to drive off.
*~*~*~* Saturday Morning. Hong Kong.
Si Mun shuffled through her drawers looking for her favorite and lucky shoes. She just HAD to bring them with her. She knelt on her knees and moved over to the closet. As she threw things around her while looking through the closet, she suddenly stopped throwing things out because she knew that she would never put her favorite shoes in this closet. So she backed out quickly on her hands and knees. She turned around to sit cross-legged on the floor. She rested her head in her hands as she thought where she had last put them. Well… She remembered leaving them at the edge of her bed near the bedpost. So she thought as she looked around the floor. As the idea hit her she scrambled to her bed and poked her head underneath and there they were. She grabbed them and sighed in relief. They were dark blue shoes with baby blue stripes and outlines.
She heard her door open so she turned around and stood up. "I found them." She held the shoes out for her cousin to see.
"Then let's hurry up. We don't want to miss the plane." Syaoran said as he opened the door further for her to pass. They walked down the stairs and out the front entrance to the limo that Wei was driving to go to the airport. Wei loaded their last piece of luggage into the back of the limo and closed it. He walked over to the door and opened it for Syaoran and Si Mun just as they walked up. They got in and he closed the door. Wei walked to the driver's side and got in.
*~*~*~*
Si Mun sat down at the window seat and Syaoran sat down in the aisle seat. "Are you excited Syaoran?" Si Mun asked as she buckled her seat belt.
"About what?" Syaoran asked. "You mean going to Japan?" He looked over at her as he started buckling his own seat belt.
"Of course! Well are you?" She asked as she peered at him already knowing who he was thinking of even though she had never met the Clow Mistress in person yet.
"It would be great to see everyone again." His mouth started curve into a soft smile as he thought of all his friends in Japan. Especially Sakura.
Si Mun stared at him with a puzzled expression until she realized of what he was thinking of. Sitting back comfortably, she allowed a smile to sweep itself over her face as she thought about this Clow Mistress that had taken the heart of her dear cousin.
