Testing The Sakura Card Mistress
Five-Meet
by Sakura Maxwell
Touya ran his hand through his hair and leaned back in his chair. "This is boring," he said. He debated about watching T.V. but decided against it. "Everything on is probably crap," he said aloud, pushing himself from the chair and grabbing his jacket.
He opened and locked the door on his way out and headed in any direction. He stopped when he saw a girl with light blue hair leaning by a tree, staring at the ground. He felt somehow attracted to her. ~Who is she? What is she doing, just standing there..~ "Oi," he called out. "Are you okay?" The girl looked up.
Touya walked closer and asked, "Are you alright?" The girl smiled. "Why do you ask?" Touya shrugged. "You looked like you were spacing out," he answered truthfully. The girl blinked, then laughed gently. "Sorry, but I was just thinking.."
Touya raised a brow. "About wha-Mmf!" He clamped his hand over his mouth suddenly and turned red with embarrassment. He was asking a girl he didn't even know what she was thinking about! ~What's wrong with you today, Touya!~ He mentally kicked himself.
"Is something bothering you?" the girl asked. Touya sweatdropped and smiled, "Uh..nothing!" The girl looked at him.
"Hey, Touya! Is that you?" asked a familiar voice.
Touya turned his head and saw a boy with grey hair and glasses running towards him. "Hey, Yuki!" he greeted. "What's up?" Yukito stopped when he reached Touya and the girl . "Who's this?" he asked. "Did you pick up another friend?" The girl blinked. "My name is Reisei," the girl, Reisei, said.
Touya blinked. "Oh." Yukito smiled and said nicely, "Hajimemashita." Reisei smiled. "Yes, the feeling's mutual," she said back. Touya looked back between the two. ~`Ey... Reisei is like a female Yuki!...Creepy..~ Yukito reached out his hand towards Reisei and she took it. They both shook hands. "You want to go somewhere, Reisei?" Yukito asked. "I came over to go somewhere with Touya but you're welcome to tag along if you want to."
Yue's eyes narrowed by the connection. ~She isn't human.~ He looked Reisei over. ~Not all... She looks like..~
~"You aren't stupid, you just don't know how to handle girls."~
~Tsumetai!~
Yukito instantly pulled his hand back. "Wha.." Reisei mumbled, surprised. "What's wrong, Yuki?" Touya asked. "Did something hurt you?" Yukito shook his head. "No.." He looked at Reisei. "I don't know, something made me pull my hand away. Sorry." Reisei blinked, "It's okay," and stuck her hands in her pockets.
"I guess I could.." Reisei said, glancing at Touya, "If he doesn't mind." Touya blinked and replied, "Ano.. I don't mind at all." He grinned. "Might be fun to have female company for once." Yukito looked up at him. "Then why don't you invite Nakuru-chan to stay with us, ne?" he asked.
Touya sweatdropped and fell down.
Reisei looked down at Touya. "Eh.. So where did you two plan to go?" Yukito shrugged. "I don't know. Maybe the aquarium?" he suggested. Reisei smiled. "Great, I love aquatic animals," she said. ~I'm sure you do...~ Yue thought sarcastically. Yukito elbowed Touya gently, "Well, is the aquarium okay?" he asked. Touya nodded. "Fine with me."
~*~*~*~*~
"I'd like a ice cream sundae with chocolate, nuts, pieces of banana.. candy sprinkles, and a cherry on top," Yukito ordered the waiter while Touya, Reisei and himself were sitting at a table in the aquarium. Reisei stared at Yukito. ~Ne... How does he keep himself so slim if he eats so much? Besides.. He isn't..~
"And I'd like a strawberry milkshake on the side," added Yukito. He turned to Touya and Reisei and asked, "Now, what would you two like?" Reisei smiled and sweatdropped. Touya's lips curved upward slightly and he said, "I'd like a chocolate milkshake, please."
Reisei said, "Nothing for me." Yukito blinked at her and asked, "You sure you don't want anything?"
"Yea." The waiter nodded and left. Touya leaned forward in his chair and asked, "So, Reisei, are you new to Japan?" Reisei nodded slightly. "Yes, I am," she answered softly. Touya blinked and Yukito smiled. "It's okay to be new, Reisei," he said. Reisei smiled a little.
"Where did you come from?" Touya asked. Reisei answered, "America."
"America, huh?" said Touya. "Is it fun there?" Reisei rolled her eyes thoughtfully. "No. Well... It's because I...'live' there," she responded. Touya raised a brow. "Ah... So I guess you'd find Japan interesting." Reisei nodded. "Hopefully."
The waiter came back with the deserts. "Arigato," Yukito said, taking his and passing the other one to Touya. "Are you sure you don't want anything to eat?" Yukito asked again. Reisei nodded. "Not hungry," she answered. ~Not even curious.~
Touya sipped his milkshake and said, "So how old are you?" Reisei sweatdropped and looked up. "Well.. I uh, hehe.. Um.." she said. Touya and Yukito exchanged glances and Touya asked, "You don't even know how old you are?" Reisei shook her head violently and answered, "I'm twenty!" Touya raised a brow but kept drinking his milkshake.
~*~*~*~*~
"Nee.. Where'd Kikai go?" Sakura asked, walking in English Class. Tomoyo sat down in her seat behind Sakura and said, "I don't know. You can ask Li-kun.. Look, there he is." Sakura looked up and saw Syaoran walk to his seat next to Sakura and sit down with a sigh.
Sakura and Tomoyo exchanged glances. "Li-kun, do you know where Kikai is?" Sakura asked. Syaoran glanced at her and answered dully, "No. Why would I know?" Sakura blinked. "I was just wondering." Syaoran looked around. "So Yue decided to let Touya and Yukito have some time together than come and watch over you?" he asked.
Tomoyo nodded. "Well, he felt like Yukito-san and Touya-san should have some time together, and he said that Kikai probably wouldn't show up because of Eriol-kun."
"She was here for homeroom and second class," Sakura said thoughtfully. "So she ditched," Syaoran said, opening his English book. "Do you think she'll be back?" Tomoyo asked, doing the same. Sakura and Syaoran shrugged. "She might," Syaoran replied, "maybe she needed to take care of something.."
Sakura snapped her head up. "You don't think she'll go and attack Yukito-san and Oniisan, do you?!" she asked fearfully. Syaoran looked up at her. "I doubt it. You got to remember, Yukito is only the false form of Yue. So he can turn into Yue anytime." Sakura nodded reluctantly. "I suppose.."
Tomoyo smiled. "Don't worry, Sakura-chan. Yue can take care of Kikai," she said reassuringly. Sakura nodded again, taking out her English book and opening its pages.
~*~*~*~*~
"Yea, I wanted to check out the bookstore. I hear they have good books-" Reisei cut off her sentence and stood up abruptly. Touya and Yukito looked at her and asked, "What's wrong?" Reisei glanced around, purple eyes going back and forth. ~She's here...~
Yue jerked. ~Kikai's here! Damnit, I can't show my form... Not in front of these people..~
Reisei turned around and looked up. Then she saw a girl in a blue school uniform and dark hazel hair and umistakably blue eyes. "Kikai!" she whispered. Something silver gleamed in the shadows and Reisei recognized it as the Dark Sealing Wand. Kikai looked down at her and nodded. Reisei nodded back very slightly, understanding. The rivalry between Yue and Tsumetai was obvious, but they weren't going to attack out in the open like this. Yes..
And then from the shadows a thunder bolt stuck the glass containing the fish and other waterlife. People started screaming and running. Touya covered his eyes with his arm to blind the flash and so did Yukito. When it was over Touya opened his eyes. "Yuki, are you okay?!" he asked. Yukito nodded wearily, looking up. "I am.. Ah! Where's Reisei?" he asked, looking around. Touya glanced. "I don't know." Another thunder bolt struck the tank harder and made cracks in the glass.
"Damnit, we can't stay here!" Touya shouted, grabbing Yukito's hand and pulling him away from the tables. "Demo.." Yukito whispered. A third thunder bolt caused the tank to finally crack all the way and break open. The room flooded and all the people screamed, trying to get away. "Tou-!" Yukito managed to say before he was pulled under by the force of the water.
"YUKI!" Touya yelled, diving under. He could see Yukito's unconscious body and tried to reach out to him but a strong hand grabbed his shoulder and pulled him up. "What do you think you're doing, kid?" a man asked. Touya glared at him. "Let me go, I've got to save him!" he said angrily, trying to pull free. But the man was stronger and dragged Touya out of the aquarium.
"You're safer here," the man said. "Leave your friend to the fire department. They'll get him out when they arrive." Touya balled his hands into fists and said through gritted teeth, "By the time they get here, Yuki'll be DEAD!" The man turned to him and said, "You'll just have to believe he'll survive. Were there any other people you could see trapped in there?"
Touya faced the other way and nodded.
~*~*~*~*~
Yukito could feel his consciousness leaving as he was being pulled under. He could barely hear Touya yelling his name. Then someone came and took Touya away. He was going to pass out when two hands caught his arms and pulled him away, into the back in the staff's room.
He coughed for some time and looked up. He could see a female shape with black behind its back but without his glasses it wasn't very clear. Then he saw the female's hand and his glasses being passed to him. He took them gratefully and put them on. Then he looked back at the girl and gasped slightly.
"Oh, who..are you?" he asked tentively. The female was wearing a sleeveless light blue robe that opened in the middle and had a grey covering. Her waist was covered in a deep red and a bow in the back. And the robe split down the middle on both sides. And the black Yukito saw was two devil wings.
He was totally bewildered by this new appearence, yet he felt familiar to her. The grey blue hair, lavender eyes, and her expression reminded him of someone.
"Yukito, daijoubu desu ka?" she asked. Yukito's eyes widened.
"Reisei!" he exclaimed. The girl who looked like Reisei smiled slightly but shook her head. "I'm not Reisei. Ask your true form who I am.." Yukito blinked. "Huh?" The girl folded her arms across her chest and said, "Reisei is my false form, like you're the false form of Yue." Yukito asked, "How do you know about Yue?"
"Because I'm like him. I was created by Clow to judge the person who claimed the Dark Cards as their own."
Yukito gasped. "The Dark Cards? You mean the ones that belong to Kikai? The girl who's attacking Sakura-chan all the time?"
The girl nodded. "Then what's your name?" Yukito asked. "It's Tsumetai," answered Tsumetai.
"So.. why did you choose to meet up with Touya?" Yukito asked.
"I didn't," Tsumetai explained. "My Mistress told me to. To be able to talk to you and tell you everything that's happening. Everyone should have a right to know. Except Sakura because she's the one being tested, although I'm sure the reincarnation of Clow already told her she was going to be tested."
Yukito blinked. "You mean Eriol?" Tsumetai nodded. "Otherwise known as Hiiragizawa Eriol." Yukito nodded. "So.. You're like RubyMoon and Yue. You have a false form, called Reisei. Just like I'm the false form of Yue, and Nakuru-chan is the false form of RubyMoon." Tsumetai nodded. "That's right."
"Is this all you have to say?" Yukito asked suddenly, and quite rudely. Tsumetai blinked. Yukito blushed and smiled slightly. "I guess Yue wanted to say that," he said sheepishly. Tsumetai glanced away and said dryly, "I'm sure he did." She looked back at Yukito and said, "I need to talk with Yue, if you don't mind." Yukito said okay and out came Yue.
"What did you want?" Yue asked coldly. Tsumetai laughed shortly. "You know as well as I that we don't necessarily like each other, but please act calm here. I've no desire to attack you. Yet," she added, smiling.
"Just say what you're going to say," Yue said. Tsumetai nodded. "Right, well, Sakura knows she's going to be tested, doesn't she?" Yue nodded hesitantly. Tsumetai caught this and laughed. "Don't worry, Yue," she said, "I'm not going to attack her. It's not my job to attack her."
Tsumetai fingered her hair and said, "We're expected to battle each other, are we not?" Yue answered, "Yes, we are. Just like Cerberus and Kiriokami will battle.." He looked up. "So that means Kiri will go and meet Kero also," he said. Tsumetai nodded. "Yep."
"When?" Yue asked, standing up.
"Maybe today?" Tsumetai answered. "Or tomorrow. I don't know exactly. He tends to do things his way." She chuckled. Yue's face remained straight. Tsumetai raised a brow and said casually, "You know, you should really try having more fun, Yue. I'd hate to be you, always so boring. I can't imagine how you would like a ball of energy like Sakura. Then again," she added, "as they say, 'Opposites Attract.' I guess there's truth to those words."
Yue narrowed his eyes. "Are you done? My other forms' friend is probably worrying about him." Tsumetai raised a brow and said with a grin, "Ah, so the silent guardian does have a heart!" Yue glared at her and shot back, "It's not like you have one!" Tsumetai put her hands on her hips and said, "I just enjoy defeating my opponent and letting them know that they'll never beat me. That's all."
Yue snorted. "Whatever." Tsumetai sat down on a table and asked softly, "You really do like Sakura, don't you?" Yue stared at her. "Where'd you get this subject?!" he asked, bewildered. Tsumetai laughed lightly. "Don't know.. But you really like her..ne?"
Yue's left hand gripped the white cloth and he mumbled, "Why do you ask?" Tsumetai's eyes softened. "You'll never admit it, will you?" she said. Yue glanced at her and replied, "You talk as if you actually care. Ironic, since your name means 'cold-hearted'. And ice." Tsumetai smiled and said, "Yea, and yours means 'moon.' But the moon is gentle and sweet. Definitely not you."
The two guardians just stayed there for a few minutes when Tsumetai broke the silence. "You'd better go, Yue," she said, standing up and stretching. "Aren't you coming? They'd think you escaped somehow," Yue said. Tsumetai grinned. "Yea, I guess I go too. Oh, and another thing.."
"Yea, what?"
Tsumetai's expression became gentle.
"If you do need any help with Sakura, you can talk to me. Since Clow made it so I'd look more of a human girl and implanted a female's memory in me.."
Yue glanced back at her. "A girl's memory?" he asked curiously. Tsumetai nodded sadly. "Who's?" asked Yue. "A young girl of thirteen. She was a very lovable person.. Everyone called her the Angel of Love because she always brought happiness.. But she died..." Yue blinked slowly at her. "So you have her memory and your own personality in you?"
Tsumetai nodded again and laughed grimly. "Why do you think I have this name? I'm cold-hearted. Or supposed to be. But Clow wanted me to have a heart.. He didn't want me to be a monster."
Then she laughed again and jumped up. "Well, shall we be going?" she asked, her face forced into a happy expression. ~She's trying to act normal..~ Yue thought. He nodded. "Yea.."
~*~*~*~*~
Touya gripped his pants with his hands and gritted his teeth. There was no way he could take this any longer. The fire department had come, but said they hadn't found anyone. ~Yuki... He..~ "I just can't stand this!" he yelled, standing up and running towards the aquarium. The man saw him and jumped in front. "You can't go in there!" the man repeated for the millionth time.
"Why!?" demanded Touya. "The fire people said no one was there, that it wasn't going to explode or anything! So what's so wrong with me going in to look for myself?!" The man shook his head. "We can't take any chances. They couldn't explain where the thunder bolts came from so it's off limits."
Touya clentched his hands into fists and squeezed his eyes shut. His head bent and shoulders sagging, he looked as if he lost a loved one. ~I did...~
"Hey, Touya!" called out a faint voice.
Touya snapped his head up. ~Am I hearing things?... That sounded like Yuki..~ He heard footsteps behind him and a hand was placed on his shoulder. "Touya?" the voice asked. "You ignoring me or something?" Touya whipped around and gasped in happiness, "Yuki!"
Yukito smiled back and said, "Um, hi. Whoa!" Touya pulled Yukito into a fierce hug; his eyes brimming with tears he said, "Where were you, Yuki? The fire department said they didn't see any bodies!" Yukito smiled wearily in the hug and answered, "Yea well.. Reisei pulled me out and we sat in the staff room until we thought it was safe."
Touya looked up. "Reisei?" he asked. She was leaning against a tree, smiling at the two.
"Yes?" she asked.
Touya's eyes brightened. "You're okay too!" he exclaimed. Reisei pushed a strand of hair behind her ears and grinned. "Yea, of course. No problem. A little water isn't going to kill me or Yukito," she said. Touya grinned also. "Okay. Let's go home, Yuki," he said, looking down at the smaller boy. Yukito smiled. "Okay."
~*~*~*~*~
Sakura looked up. ~I can sense Kikai near by..~ She looked around. She and Tomoyo were walking to fourth class, Math. Tomoyo noticed Sakura and asked, "What's wrong?" Sakura shrugged and said, "I can feel Kikai near. I don't know where though, but she's here somewhere." Tomoyo looked at Sakura.
The two walked inside Math and sat down in their seats. "Hey, Li-kun, did you sense Kikai around?" Sakura asked. Syaoran glanced at her. "Yes," he said shortly. "Where do you think she was?" Sakura asked. "Is it any of your business?" Syaoran asked. Sakura flinched back by his tone. "I was just wondering.." she said.
Syaoran sighed and took out his Math book. He opened it and proceeded to read their lesson before the bell rang when he felt Kikai walk inside. He didn't look up, but his eyes followed her until she sat down next to him. Without looking, Kikai took out her book and put it in front of her.
Syaoran glanced at her one last time and turned back to his book. Sakura looked back and forth between the two, blinking. Tomoyo chuckled softly. "Hoe?"
Through the whole class, Sakura dully listened to the teacher and kept seeing how many times Syaoran looked back at Kikai. She counted twenty. ~Hooe... he must be very wary of her or something..~ Then the bell rang and everyone shuffled out of the classroom. Sakura waited for Syaoran in the hall. "Hey, do you really not trust Kikai or something?" she asked.
Syaoran glanced at her. "Why do you ask?"
Sakura smiled and sweatdropped. "Because you kept looking at her. I got so bored in Math I counted how many times you did and I got twenty," she said. Syaoran sweatdropped and fell down.
"Hey.. There Kikai goes.." Tomoyo said, pointing at the anti-social girl. Kikai was walking out and away from her next class, and then off the school grounds. Sakura blinked. "Okay, now where is she going?" she asked. Syaoran shrugged. "Who cares.." he mumbled, walking off to fifth class.
Sakura blinked at him. "Why did he get so moody, Tomoyo-chan?" she asked. Tomoyo giggled again. "What?" Sakura asked. Tomoyo smiled. "Oh, it's nothing, Sakura-chan," she said. Sakura puffed her cheeks. "Is it just me or is everyone keeping secrets from me?" Sakura asked walking. Tomoyo followed her and said, "Why do you say that?"
"Well," Sakura said, "Kero-chan wouldn't tell me something either. About being with someone else and he'd tell me if I wasn't going to go with that other person." Tomoyo giggled again. "Oh, that," she replied. Sakura looked at her. "You know too?"
Tomoyo nodded.
"What was he keeping from me?" Sakura asked warily. Tomoyo shook her head. "Sorry, can't tell you," she answered, "it might ruin everything." Sakura sighed, exasperated as they walked into fifth class.
~*~*~*~*~
Kero stuffed another piece of chocolate in his mouth as he watched T.V.
"Ah man, there's nothing good on!" he grumbled, fumbling with the remote and pushing a button. The T.V. buzzed out and Kero flew over to his little drawer-bed. He stashed the chocolate in. "I'll just save this for later-!!"
He snapped his head up. "I sense trouble.." he said, looking around. He felt a very familiar presense.
"Kero-chan!" exclaimed a voice, tackling Kero from behind.
"Wha-OOOOF!" Kero tumbled backwards. The thing that tackled him laughed. He got up and rubbed his head. "Kiri, I knew it was you," he mumbled, grinning. Kiri made a thumbs-up and said, "So how's it going, Kero-chan?" he asked.
Kero brushed himself off and fluttered to the desk. Kiri followed. "Ah, it's been okay," Kero answered. Kiri pawed his ear and said, "Hm, so you know why I'm here?"
Kero shook his head.
Kiri smacked Kero in the back with his bushy tail. "Baka, I'm here `cause Mistress said to come and talk to you about the Testing," he said matter-of-factly. Kero snorted. "I already know about it," he answered. "We got to fight each other, right?" Kiri nodded.
Kiri looked up. "Well, I think that's it," he said. He looked down. "Oo, chocolate!" He jumped down into Kero's drawer-bed.
"HE-HEY!" yelled Kero, jumping down and grabbing the chocolate away from Kiri. "These are MINE!" he said. Kiri pouted. "Nee... Piggy Pig Pig.." he said. Then he saw the video games...
"WOWIEZ!" Kiri exclaimed, jumping down to the video games. He pushed a button and the T.V. flared on. Another button and the game came on screen. A 'Continue?' and 'Data' came on. He pushed a button on the controller. And...
"OH NO!" Kero screamed.
"'Are you sure you want to delete saved data?'?" Kiri read. "'OK?'" He pushed the button. "OK!" he said happily. Kero went dead and fell off the drawer.
~*~*~*~*~
"Eriol-kun, do you think Kikai will come back?" Sakura asked, sitting down in her seat. Eriol took his and answered, "I don't know. I'm sure she will.. I doubt she wants a totally bad record in school. And she can't just stay out, the police might see her in her uniform and make her come back."
Sakura nodded. "You're probably right.." she said. "Ah, so Tomoyo-san and Syaoran have different classes from us?" Eriol asked, adjusting his glasses. Sakura nodded. "Yea, the only class I'm apart from Tomoyo-chan and Li-kun," she answered. Eriol glanced at her.
"I'm sure Syaoran is hating this, ne?" he asked playfully. Sakura blushed and shook her head. "Nah.." Eriol smiled and looked up. He blinked. "Well, I guess Kikai did come back," he said. Sakura also looked up and saw Kikai taking her seat in back.
"Neee...All she's doing is sitting with her eyes closed," Sakura said. Eriol raised a brow. "I'm sure she's going to hate this class for as long as I stay here," he said. Sakura blinked at him. "Why's that?" she asked, curious.
Eriol looked at her. "Kikai doesn't take a liking to me, that's all," he answered. Sakura blinked. "Doshite?" Eriol shrugged. "I don't know. It doesn't really matter to me, it's not like we need to be friends or anything." He glanced back at Kikai. ~But we do need to talk..~
The final bell rang and everyone practically created a stampede running out. Eriol waited for Sakura and the two of them walked out like civilized people and met with Syaoran and Tomoyo by the gates.
"So, did Kikai come back?" Tomoyo asked. Sakura and Eriol nodded. "Hai," Sakura said, making her backpak strap more comfortable. Syaoran turned his head. "Look, there she is," he said, pointing. Everyone turned their heads and saw Kikai walking off campus and around the corner.
Eriol started walking towards her. "Eriol-kun, where are you going?" Sakura asked. Eriol turned back and said, "I need to speak with Kikai alone for a bit." Syaoran instantly glared at Eriol. Eriol simply smiled at Syaoran.
Sakura looked at the two back and forth. "Hoooeee..."
Syaoran finally turned around and folded his arms by his chest. Eriol smiled again and said, "Don't worry, Syaoran. I won't do anything." Syaoran gave him the 'stink eye' and looked the other way. Sakura and Tomoyo sweatdropped.
Eriol turned and started walking. Soon he could see Kikai a couple feet in front of him. Then she stopped. Eriol's mouth curved upwards. ~She senses my aura.~ He stopped about three feet from her and said, "So, I see you finally came to Japan to test Sakura-san." Kikai turned her head slightly towards him.
"Yes, I have," she answered curtly. Eriol raised a brow. "And I'm assuming Tsumetai and Kiriokami are here also?" Kikai nodded slightly. Eriol put his hands behind his back and said, "Well, did you let them meet up with Yue and Cerberus yet?" Again, she nodded.
"When do you plan to attack?" Eriol asked. Kikai narrowed her eyes. "I cannot tell you that," she said sternly. "I cannot tell you anything specific." Eriol propped his hands at his sides. "You know, you're very mature for a girl of eighteen, Kikai," he commented.
Kikai fully turned around and faced Eriol. "You also," she said, her lips turning upwards slightly. "But then again, what can I expect. You are the reincarnation of Clow Reed himself." Eriol laughed softly. "Yes, of course." Then he straightened his face. "Kikai, I need to ask you a question. It has nothing to do with the testing."
Kikai put a hand to her hip. "What is it?" she asked nonchantly. Eriol sighed and pulled off his glasses. "Kikai.. How do you feel about Syaoran?" he asked cautiously. Kikai's face remained the same as she responded, "I feel nothing of him." eriol raised a brow.
"Kikai, whatever you feel of him," Eriol said, rubbing his glasses, "I wish that you wouldn't be...heartless around him." Kikai glanced at him. "What do you mean, Eriol?" she asked. Eriol put his glasses back on and looked directly at Kikai. "I don't know if Syaoran told you this, although I very much doubt that he did, he is..shall we say..quite fond of you."
Kikai narrowed her eyes. "And I don't care," she said. "It's his own fault if he grows fond of me. I didn't do anything to him to make him like me," she spat. Eriol sighed. "Just.. Please, Kikai. Syaoran is almost.. Well, since I am part of Clow, Syaoran is my decendant. I feel the need to make sure he is happy and that nothing harms him."
Kikai narrowed her eyes still. "Fine. I won't be heartless to him, Eriol. But I will not return the feeling he has for me. It isn't, and never will be, mutual," she said, turning around and walking away.
Eriol breathed a sigh of relief. "At least she said she'd treat him decently," he said to himself. "Well, actually she said she wouldn't be heartless to him.." Then he smiled. "Yet I know she likes him back.. She'll never admit it, but just by seeing her face when I mentioned her name..." He looked up at the clouds. "Syaoran, just don't push your luck."
Yes, yes, done. - -'Eh? What's that? You think Kikai and Syaoran aren't a good couple? Ah, oh well. I think they are. You know how they say opposites attract? Well, mom told me that you either gotta be real opposite of the other person, or really alike. Hm, what are things Syaoran and Kikai have in common? Serious, swordpeoplez, skilled in magic, both like chocolate, don't have best recipe, pretty anti-social at first, needs someone to open them up(in this case it's Syaoran) and they have brown hair... Does that count? *everyone fallz down*
Ah, whateva. I was sooo bored I made stats for the new chars. So if you wanna know, keep reading. I'll put one for each new chapter. Bwa hahahaha...o.O'

Five-Meet
by Sakura Maxwell
Touya ran his hand through his hair and leaned back in his chair. "This is boring," he said. He debated about watching T.V. but decided against it. "Everything on is probably crap," he said aloud, pushing himself from the chair and grabbing his jacket.
He opened and locked the door on his way out and headed in any direction. He stopped when he saw a girl with light blue hair leaning by a tree, staring at the ground. He felt somehow attracted to her. ~Who is she? What is she doing, just standing there..~ "Oi," he called out. "Are you okay?" The girl looked up.
Touya walked closer and asked, "Are you alright?" The girl smiled. "Why do you ask?" Touya shrugged. "You looked like you were spacing out," he answered truthfully. The girl blinked, then laughed gently. "Sorry, but I was just thinking.."
Touya raised a brow. "About wha-Mmf!" He clamped his hand over his mouth suddenly and turned red with embarrassment. He was asking a girl he didn't even know what she was thinking about! ~What's wrong with you today, Touya!~ He mentally kicked himself.
"Is something bothering you?" the girl asked. Touya sweatdropped and smiled, "Uh..nothing!" The girl looked at him.
"Hey, Touya! Is that you?" asked a familiar voice.
Touya turned his head and saw a boy with grey hair and glasses running towards him. "Hey, Yuki!" he greeted. "What's up?" Yukito stopped when he reached Touya and the girl . "Who's this?" he asked. "Did you pick up another friend?" The girl blinked. "My name is Reisei," the girl, Reisei, said.
Touya blinked. "Oh." Yukito smiled and said nicely, "Hajimemashita." Reisei smiled. "Yes, the feeling's mutual," she said back. Touya looked back between the two. ~`Ey... Reisei is like a female Yuki!...Creepy..~ Yukito reached out his hand towards Reisei and she took it. They both shook hands. "You want to go somewhere, Reisei?" Yukito asked. "I came over to go somewhere with Touya but you're welcome to tag along if you want to."
Yue's eyes narrowed by the connection. ~She isn't human.~ He looked Reisei over. ~Not all... She looks like..~
~"You aren't stupid, you just don't know how to handle girls."~
~Tsumetai!~
Yukito instantly pulled his hand back. "Wha.." Reisei mumbled, surprised. "What's wrong, Yuki?" Touya asked. "Did something hurt you?" Yukito shook his head. "No.." He looked at Reisei. "I don't know, something made me pull my hand away. Sorry." Reisei blinked, "It's okay," and stuck her hands in her pockets.
"I guess I could.." Reisei said, glancing at Touya, "If he doesn't mind." Touya blinked and replied, "Ano.. I don't mind at all." He grinned. "Might be fun to have female company for once." Yukito looked up at him. "Then why don't you invite Nakuru-chan to stay with us, ne?" he asked.
Touya sweatdropped and fell down.
Reisei looked down at Touya. "Eh.. So where did you two plan to go?" Yukito shrugged. "I don't know. Maybe the aquarium?" he suggested. Reisei smiled. "Great, I love aquatic animals," she said. ~I'm sure you do...~ Yue thought sarcastically. Yukito elbowed Touya gently, "Well, is the aquarium okay?" he asked. Touya nodded. "Fine with me."
~*~*~*~*~
"I'd like a ice cream sundae with chocolate, nuts, pieces of banana.. candy sprinkles, and a cherry on top," Yukito ordered the waiter while Touya, Reisei and himself were sitting at a table in the aquarium. Reisei stared at Yukito. ~Ne... How does he keep himself so slim if he eats so much? Besides.. He isn't..~
"And I'd like a strawberry milkshake on the side," added Yukito. He turned to Touya and Reisei and asked, "Now, what would you two like?" Reisei smiled and sweatdropped. Touya's lips curved upward slightly and he said, "I'd like a chocolate milkshake, please."
Reisei said, "Nothing for me." Yukito blinked at her and asked, "You sure you don't want anything?"
"Yea." The waiter nodded and left. Touya leaned forward in his chair and asked, "So, Reisei, are you new to Japan?" Reisei nodded slightly. "Yes, I am," she answered softly. Touya blinked and Yukito smiled. "It's okay to be new, Reisei," he said. Reisei smiled a little.
"Where did you come from?" Touya asked. Reisei answered, "America."
"America, huh?" said Touya. "Is it fun there?" Reisei rolled her eyes thoughtfully. "No. Well... It's because I...'live' there," she responded. Touya raised a brow. "Ah... So I guess you'd find Japan interesting." Reisei nodded. "Hopefully."
The waiter came back with the deserts. "Arigato," Yukito said, taking his and passing the other one to Touya. "Are you sure you don't want anything to eat?" Yukito asked again. Reisei nodded. "Not hungry," she answered. ~Not even curious.~
Touya sipped his milkshake and said, "So how old are you?" Reisei sweatdropped and looked up. "Well.. I uh, hehe.. Um.." she said. Touya and Yukito exchanged glances and Touya asked, "You don't even know how old you are?" Reisei shook her head violently and answered, "I'm twenty!" Touya raised a brow but kept drinking his milkshake.
~*~*~*~*~
"Nee.. Where'd Kikai go?" Sakura asked, walking in English Class. Tomoyo sat down in her seat behind Sakura and said, "I don't know. You can ask Li-kun.. Look, there he is." Sakura looked up and saw Syaoran walk to his seat next to Sakura and sit down with a sigh.
Sakura and Tomoyo exchanged glances. "Li-kun, do you know where Kikai is?" Sakura asked. Syaoran glanced at her and answered dully, "No. Why would I know?" Sakura blinked. "I was just wondering." Syaoran looked around. "So Yue decided to let Touya and Yukito have some time together than come and watch over you?" he asked.
Tomoyo nodded. "Well, he felt like Yukito-san and Touya-san should have some time together, and he said that Kikai probably wouldn't show up because of Eriol-kun."
"She was here for homeroom and second class," Sakura said thoughtfully. "So she ditched," Syaoran said, opening his English book. "Do you think she'll be back?" Tomoyo asked, doing the same. Sakura and Syaoran shrugged. "She might," Syaoran replied, "maybe she needed to take care of something.."
Sakura snapped her head up. "You don't think she'll go and attack Yukito-san and Oniisan, do you?!" she asked fearfully. Syaoran looked up at her. "I doubt it. You got to remember, Yukito is only the false form of Yue. So he can turn into Yue anytime." Sakura nodded reluctantly. "I suppose.."
Tomoyo smiled. "Don't worry, Sakura-chan. Yue can take care of Kikai," she said reassuringly. Sakura nodded again, taking out her English book and opening its pages.
~*~*~*~*~
"Yea, I wanted to check out the bookstore. I hear they have good books-" Reisei cut off her sentence and stood up abruptly. Touya and Yukito looked at her and asked, "What's wrong?" Reisei glanced around, purple eyes going back and forth. ~She's here...~
Yue jerked. ~Kikai's here! Damnit, I can't show my form... Not in front of these people..~
Reisei turned around and looked up. Then she saw a girl in a blue school uniform and dark hazel hair and umistakably blue eyes. "Kikai!" she whispered. Something silver gleamed in the shadows and Reisei recognized it as the Dark Sealing Wand. Kikai looked down at her and nodded. Reisei nodded back very slightly, understanding. The rivalry between Yue and Tsumetai was obvious, but they weren't going to attack out in the open like this. Yes..
And then from the shadows a thunder bolt stuck the glass containing the fish and other waterlife. People started screaming and running. Touya covered his eyes with his arm to blind the flash and so did Yukito. When it was over Touya opened his eyes. "Yuki, are you okay?!" he asked. Yukito nodded wearily, looking up. "I am.. Ah! Where's Reisei?" he asked, looking around. Touya glanced. "I don't know." Another thunder bolt struck the tank harder and made cracks in the glass.
"Damnit, we can't stay here!" Touya shouted, grabbing Yukito's hand and pulling him away from the tables. "Demo.." Yukito whispered. A third thunder bolt caused the tank to finally crack all the way and break open. The room flooded and all the people screamed, trying to get away. "Tou-!" Yukito managed to say before he was pulled under by the force of the water.
"YUKI!" Touya yelled, diving under. He could see Yukito's unconscious body and tried to reach out to him but a strong hand grabbed his shoulder and pulled him up. "What do you think you're doing, kid?" a man asked. Touya glared at him. "Let me go, I've got to save him!" he said angrily, trying to pull free. But the man was stronger and dragged Touya out of the aquarium.
"You're safer here," the man said. "Leave your friend to the fire department. They'll get him out when they arrive." Touya balled his hands into fists and said through gritted teeth, "By the time they get here, Yuki'll be DEAD!" The man turned to him and said, "You'll just have to believe he'll survive. Were there any other people you could see trapped in there?"
Touya faced the other way and nodded.
~*~*~*~*~
Yukito could feel his consciousness leaving as he was being pulled under. He could barely hear Touya yelling his name. Then someone came and took Touya away. He was going to pass out when two hands caught his arms and pulled him away, into the back in the staff's room.
He coughed for some time and looked up. He could see a female shape with black behind its back but without his glasses it wasn't very clear. Then he saw the female's hand and his glasses being passed to him. He took them gratefully and put them on. Then he looked back at the girl and gasped slightly.
"Oh, who..are you?" he asked tentively. The female was wearing a sleeveless light blue robe that opened in the middle and had a grey covering. Her waist was covered in a deep red and a bow in the back. And the robe split down the middle on both sides. And the black Yukito saw was two devil wings.
He was totally bewildered by this new appearence, yet he felt familiar to her. The grey blue hair, lavender eyes, and her expression reminded him of someone.
"Yukito, daijoubu desu ka?" she asked. Yukito's eyes widened.
"Reisei!" he exclaimed. The girl who looked like Reisei smiled slightly but shook her head. "I'm not Reisei. Ask your true form who I am.." Yukito blinked. "Huh?" The girl folded her arms across her chest and said, "Reisei is my false form, like you're the false form of Yue." Yukito asked, "How do you know about Yue?"
"Because I'm like him. I was created by Clow to judge the person who claimed the Dark Cards as their own."
Yukito gasped. "The Dark Cards? You mean the ones that belong to Kikai? The girl who's attacking Sakura-chan all the time?"
The girl nodded. "Then what's your name?" Yukito asked. "It's Tsumetai," answered Tsumetai.
"So.. why did you choose to meet up with Touya?" Yukito asked.
"I didn't," Tsumetai explained. "My Mistress told me to. To be able to talk to you and tell you everything that's happening. Everyone should have a right to know. Except Sakura because she's the one being tested, although I'm sure the reincarnation of Clow already told her she was going to be tested."
Yukito blinked. "You mean Eriol?" Tsumetai nodded. "Otherwise known as Hiiragizawa Eriol." Yukito nodded. "So.. You're like RubyMoon and Yue. You have a false form, called Reisei. Just like I'm the false form of Yue, and Nakuru-chan is the false form of RubyMoon." Tsumetai nodded. "That's right."
"Is this all you have to say?" Yukito asked suddenly, and quite rudely. Tsumetai blinked. Yukito blushed and smiled slightly. "I guess Yue wanted to say that," he said sheepishly. Tsumetai glanced away and said dryly, "I'm sure he did." She looked back at Yukito and said, "I need to talk with Yue, if you don't mind." Yukito said okay and out came Yue.
"What did you want?" Yue asked coldly. Tsumetai laughed shortly. "You know as well as I that we don't necessarily like each other, but please act calm here. I've no desire to attack you. Yet," she added, smiling.
"Just say what you're going to say," Yue said. Tsumetai nodded. "Right, well, Sakura knows she's going to be tested, doesn't she?" Yue nodded hesitantly. Tsumetai caught this and laughed. "Don't worry, Yue," she said, "I'm not going to attack her. It's not my job to attack her."
Tsumetai fingered her hair and said, "We're expected to battle each other, are we not?" Yue answered, "Yes, we are. Just like Cerberus and Kiriokami will battle.." He looked up. "So that means Kiri will go and meet Kero also," he said. Tsumetai nodded. "Yep."
"When?" Yue asked, standing up.
"Maybe today?" Tsumetai answered. "Or tomorrow. I don't know exactly. He tends to do things his way." She chuckled. Yue's face remained straight. Tsumetai raised a brow and said casually, "You know, you should really try having more fun, Yue. I'd hate to be you, always so boring. I can't imagine how you would like a ball of energy like Sakura. Then again," she added, "as they say, 'Opposites Attract.' I guess there's truth to those words."
Yue narrowed his eyes. "Are you done? My other forms' friend is probably worrying about him." Tsumetai raised a brow and said with a grin, "Ah, so the silent guardian does have a heart!" Yue glared at her and shot back, "It's not like you have one!" Tsumetai put her hands on her hips and said, "I just enjoy defeating my opponent and letting them know that they'll never beat me. That's all."
Yue snorted. "Whatever." Tsumetai sat down on a table and asked softly, "You really do like Sakura, don't you?" Yue stared at her. "Where'd you get this subject?!" he asked, bewildered. Tsumetai laughed lightly. "Don't know.. But you really like her..ne?"
Yue's left hand gripped the white cloth and he mumbled, "Why do you ask?" Tsumetai's eyes softened. "You'll never admit it, will you?" she said. Yue glanced at her and replied, "You talk as if you actually care. Ironic, since your name means 'cold-hearted'. And ice." Tsumetai smiled and said, "Yea, and yours means 'moon.' But the moon is gentle and sweet. Definitely not you."
The two guardians just stayed there for a few minutes when Tsumetai broke the silence. "You'd better go, Yue," she said, standing up and stretching. "Aren't you coming? They'd think you escaped somehow," Yue said. Tsumetai grinned. "Yea, I guess I go too. Oh, and another thing.."
"Yea, what?"
Tsumetai's expression became gentle.
"If you do need any help with Sakura, you can talk to me. Since Clow made it so I'd look more of a human girl and implanted a female's memory in me.."
Yue glanced back at her. "A girl's memory?" he asked curiously. Tsumetai nodded sadly. "Who's?" asked Yue. "A young girl of thirteen. She was a very lovable person.. Everyone called her the Angel of Love because she always brought happiness.. But she died..." Yue blinked slowly at her. "So you have her memory and your own personality in you?"
Tsumetai nodded again and laughed grimly. "Why do you think I have this name? I'm cold-hearted. Or supposed to be. But Clow wanted me to have a heart.. He didn't want me to be a monster."
Then she laughed again and jumped up. "Well, shall we be going?" she asked, her face forced into a happy expression. ~She's trying to act normal..~ Yue thought. He nodded. "Yea.."
~*~*~*~*~
Touya gripped his pants with his hands and gritted his teeth. There was no way he could take this any longer. The fire department had come, but said they hadn't found anyone. ~Yuki... He..~ "I just can't stand this!" he yelled, standing up and running towards the aquarium. The man saw him and jumped in front. "You can't go in there!" the man repeated for the millionth time.
"Why!?" demanded Touya. "The fire people said no one was there, that it wasn't going to explode or anything! So what's so wrong with me going in to look for myself?!" The man shook his head. "We can't take any chances. They couldn't explain where the thunder bolts came from so it's off limits."
Touya clentched his hands into fists and squeezed his eyes shut. His head bent and shoulders sagging, he looked as if he lost a loved one. ~I did...~
"Hey, Touya!" called out a faint voice.
Touya snapped his head up. ~Am I hearing things?... That sounded like Yuki..~ He heard footsteps behind him and a hand was placed on his shoulder. "Touya?" the voice asked. "You ignoring me or something?" Touya whipped around and gasped in happiness, "Yuki!"
Yukito smiled back and said, "Um, hi. Whoa!" Touya pulled Yukito into a fierce hug; his eyes brimming with tears he said, "Where were you, Yuki? The fire department said they didn't see any bodies!" Yukito smiled wearily in the hug and answered, "Yea well.. Reisei pulled me out and we sat in the staff room until we thought it was safe."
Touya looked up. "Reisei?" he asked. She was leaning against a tree, smiling at the two.
"Yes?" she asked.
Touya's eyes brightened. "You're okay too!" he exclaimed. Reisei pushed a strand of hair behind her ears and grinned. "Yea, of course. No problem. A little water isn't going to kill me or Yukito," she said. Touya grinned also. "Okay. Let's go home, Yuki," he said, looking down at the smaller boy. Yukito smiled. "Okay."
~*~*~*~*~
Sakura looked up. ~I can sense Kikai near by..~ She looked around. She and Tomoyo were walking to fourth class, Math. Tomoyo noticed Sakura and asked, "What's wrong?" Sakura shrugged and said, "I can feel Kikai near. I don't know where though, but she's here somewhere." Tomoyo looked at Sakura.
The two walked inside Math and sat down in their seats. "Hey, Li-kun, did you sense Kikai around?" Sakura asked. Syaoran glanced at her. "Yes," he said shortly. "Where do you think she was?" Sakura asked. "Is it any of your business?" Syaoran asked. Sakura flinched back by his tone. "I was just wondering.." she said.
Syaoran sighed and took out his Math book. He opened it and proceeded to read their lesson before the bell rang when he felt Kikai walk inside. He didn't look up, but his eyes followed her until she sat down next to him. Without looking, Kikai took out her book and put it in front of her.
Syaoran glanced at her one last time and turned back to his book. Sakura looked back and forth between the two, blinking. Tomoyo chuckled softly. "Hoe?"
Through the whole class, Sakura dully listened to the teacher and kept seeing how many times Syaoran looked back at Kikai. She counted twenty. ~Hooe... he must be very wary of her or something..~ Then the bell rang and everyone shuffled out of the classroom. Sakura waited for Syaoran in the hall. "Hey, do you really not trust Kikai or something?" she asked.
Syaoran glanced at her. "Why do you ask?"
Sakura smiled and sweatdropped. "Because you kept looking at her. I got so bored in Math I counted how many times you did and I got twenty," she said. Syaoran sweatdropped and fell down.
"Hey.. There Kikai goes.." Tomoyo said, pointing at the anti-social girl. Kikai was walking out and away from her next class, and then off the school grounds. Sakura blinked. "Okay, now where is she going?" she asked. Syaoran shrugged. "Who cares.." he mumbled, walking off to fifth class.
Sakura blinked at him. "Why did he get so moody, Tomoyo-chan?" she asked. Tomoyo giggled again. "What?" Sakura asked. Tomoyo smiled. "Oh, it's nothing, Sakura-chan," she said. Sakura puffed her cheeks. "Is it just me or is everyone keeping secrets from me?" Sakura asked walking. Tomoyo followed her and said, "Why do you say that?"
"Well," Sakura said, "Kero-chan wouldn't tell me something either. About being with someone else and he'd tell me if I wasn't going to go with that other person." Tomoyo giggled again. "Oh, that," she replied. Sakura looked at her. "You know too?"
Tomoyo nodded.
"What was he keeping from me?" Sakura asked warily. Tomoyo shook her head. "Sorry, can't tell you," she answered, "it might ruin everything." Sakura sighed, exasperated as they walked into fifth class.
~*~*~*~*~
Kero stuffed another piece of chocolate in his mouth as he watched T.V.
"Ah man, there's nothing good on!" he grumbled, fumbling with the remote and pushing a button. The T.V. buzzed out and Kero flew over to his little drawer-bed. He stashed the chocolate in. "I'll just save this for later-!!"
He snapped his head up. "I sense trouble.." he said, looking around. He felt a very familiar presense.
"Kero-chan!" exclaimed a voice, tackling Kero from behind.
"Wha-OOOOF!" Kero tumbled backwards. The thing that tackled him laughed. He got up and rubbed his head. "Kiri, I knew it was you," he mumbled, grinning. Kiri made a thumbs-up and said, "So how's it going, Kero-chan?" he asked.
Kero brushed himself off and fluttered to the desk. Kiri followed. "Ah, it's been okay," Kero answered. Kiri pawed his ear and said, "Hm, so you know why I'm here?"
Kero shook his head.
Kiri smacked Kero in the back with his bushy tail. "Baka, I'm here `cause Mistress said to come and talk to you about the Testing," he said matter-of-factly. Kero snorted. "I already know about it," he answered. "We got to fight each other, right?" Kiri nodded.
Kiri looked up. "Well, I think that's it," he said. He looked down. "Oo, chocolate!" He jumped down into Kero's drawer-bed.
"HE-HEY!" yelled Kero, jumping down and grabbing the chocolate away from Kiri. "These are MINE!" he said. Kiri pouted. "Nee... Piggy Pig Pig.." he said. Then he saw the video games...
"WOWIEZ!" Kiri exclaimed, jumping down to the video games. He pushed a button and the T.V. flared on. Another button and the game came on screen. A 'Continue?' and 'Data' came on. He pushed a button on the controller. And...
"OH NO!" Kero screamed.
"'Are you sure you want to delete saved data?'?" Kiri read. "'OK?'" He pushed the button. "OK!" he said happily. Kero went dead and fell off the drawer.
~*~*~*~*~
"Eriol-kun, do you think Kikai will come back?" Sakura asked, sitting down in her seat. Eriol took his and answered, "I don't know. I'm sure she will.. I doubt she wants a totally bad record in school. And she can't just stay out, the police might see her in her uniform and make her come back."
Sakura nodded. "You're probably right.." she said. "Ah, so Tomoyo-san and Syaoran have different classes from us?" Eriol asked, adjusting his glasses. Sakura nodded. "Yea, the only class I'm apart from Tomoyo-chan and Li-kun," she answered. Eriol glanced at her.
"I'm sure Syaoran is hating this, ne?" he asked playfully. Sakura blushed and shook her head. "Nah.." Eriol smiled and looked up. He blinked. "Well, I guess Kikai did come back," he said. Sakura also looked up and saw Kikai taking her seat in back.
"Neee...All she's doing is sitting with her eyes closed," Sakura said. Eriol raised a brow. "I'm sure she's going to hate this class for as long as I stay here," he said. Sakura blinked at him. "Why's that?" she asked, curious.
Eriol looked at her. "Kikai doesn't take a liking to me, that's all," he answered. Sakura blinked. "Doshite?" Eriol shrugged. "I don't know. It doesn't really matter to me, it's not like we need to be friends or anything." He glanced back at Kikai. ~But we do need to talk..~
The final bell rang and everyone practically created a stampede running out. Eriol waited for Sakura and the two of them walked out like civilized people and met with Syaoran and Tomoyo by the gates.
"So, did Kikai come back?" Tomoyo asked. Sakura and Eriol nodded. "Hai," Sakura said, making her backpak strap more comfortable. Syaoran turned his head. "Look, there she is," he said, pointing. Everyone turned their heads and saw Kikai walking off campus and around the corner.
Eriol started walking towards her. "Eriol-kun, where are you going?" Sakura asked. Eriol turned back and said, "I need to speak with Kikai alone for a bit." Syaoran instantly glared at Eriol. Eriol simply smiled at Syaoran.
Sakura looked at the two back and forth. "Hoooeee..."
Syaoran finally turned around and folded his arms by his chest. Eriol smiled again and said, "Don't worry, Syaoran. I won't do anything." Syaoran gave him the 'stink eye' and looked the other way. Sakura and Tomoyo sweatdropped.
Eriol turned and started walking. Soon he could see Kikai a couple feet in front of him. Then she stopped. Eriol's mouth curved upwards. ~She senses my aura.~ He stopped about three feet from her and said, "So, I see you finally came to Japan to test Sakura-san." Kikai turned her head slightly towards him.
"Yes, I have," she answered curtly. Eriol raised a brow. "And I'm assuming Tsumetai and Kiriokami are here also?" Kikai nodded slightly. Eriol put his hands behind his back and said, "Well, did you let them meet up with Yue and Cerberus yet?" Again, she nodded.
"When do you plan to attack?" Eriol asked. Kikai narrowed her eyes. "I cannot tell you that," she said sternly. "I cannot tell you anything specific." Eriol propped his hands at his sides. "You know, you're very mature for a girl of eighteen, Kikai," he commented.
Kikai fully turned around and faced Eriol. "You also," she said, her lips turning upwards slightly. "But then again, what can I expect. You are the reincarnation of Clow Reed himself." Eriol laughed softly. "Yes, of course." Then he straightened his face. "Kikai, I need to ask you a question. It has nothing to do with the testing."
Kikai put a hand to her hip. "What is it?" she asked nonchantly. Eriol sighed and pulled off his glasses. "Kikai.. How do you feel about Syaoran?" he asked cautiously. Kikai's face remained the same as she responded, "I feel nothing of him." eriol raised a brow.
"Kikai, whatever you feel of him," Eriol said, rubbing his glasses, "I wish that you wouldn't be...heartless around him." Kikai glanced at him. "What do you mean, Eriol?" she asked. Eriol put his glasses back on and looked directly at Kikai. "I don't know if Syaoran told you this, although I very much doubt that he did, he is..shall we say..quite fond of you."
Kikai narrowed her eyes. "And I don't care," she said. "It's his own fault if he grows fond of me. I didn't do anything to him to make him like me," she spat. Eriol sighed. "Just.. Please, Kikai. Syaoran is almost.. Well, since I am part of Clow, Syaoran is my decendant. I feel the need to make sure he is happy and that nothing harms him."
Kikai narrowed her eyes still. "Fine. I won't be heartless to him, Eriol. But I will not return the feeling he has for me. It isn't, and never will be, mutual," she said, turning around and walking away.
Eriol breathed a sigh of relief. "At least she said she'd treat him decently," he said to himself. "Well, actually she said she wouldn't be heartless to him.." Then he smiled. "Yet I know she likes him back.. She'll never admit it, but just by seeing her face when I mentioned her name..." He looked up at the clouds. "Syaoran, just don't push your luck."
Yes, yes, done. - -'Eh? What's that? You think Kikai and Syaoran aren't a good couple? Ah, oh well. I think they are. You know how they say opposites attract? Well, mom told me that you either gotta be real opposite of the other person, or really alike. Hm, what are things Syaoran and Kikai have in common? Serious, swordpeoplez, skilled in magic, both like chocolate, don't have best recipe, pretty anti-social at first, needs someone to open them up(in this case it's Syaoran) and they have brown hair... Does that count? *everyone fallz down*
Ah, whateva. I was sooo bored I made stats for the new chars. So if you wanna know, keep reading. I'll put one for each new chapter. Bwa hahahaha...o.O'
