Chapter 16 - What It Takes
"Tomoyo, you are my girlfriend and I love you dearly, but" Eriol sighted, shaking her head "even I have my limits. *I* am *not* putting on a dress."
"It'll look really good on you" The violet-eyed girl persuaded, holding up a pastel lilac colored sundress.
The young English woman buried her face within her hands

"Ming-san, over here!" Kico's whisper rang into the green-eyed boy's ears
"What is it, Kico?" Ming grinned at the little girl
The silver-haired girl cautiously scans the area, when she's sure no one is looking, she pulled him into an empty storage room.
"Oniisan turned Li-san and Hiiragizawa-san into girls" the silver-eyed girl bit her lips to stifle the laughter that threaten to burst
"Your brother has a sick sense of humor" Ming fought to keep a straight face, but failed miserably "I have to admit though, it's quite amusing"
"So, have you come up with a plan?" the boy's expression turned serious
"I think we should just grab the staff when he's not looking" Kico suggested
"Not likely" Ming thought the idea over "He takes that thing everywhere"
"Perhaps¡" the little girl grinned devilishly "we can brew a sleeping potion and mix it in his tea. That way, when he's a sleep, we can destroy the staff"
"Do you even know how to brew a sleeping potion?" the former card master arched an eyebrow
"Not exactly" Kico admitted "but we can take one of Oniisan's spell books"
"How come I haven't seen any of these books?" Ming questioned
"They're invisible" She replied "You have to find them, so they will appear on their own"
"Alright" Ming and Kico shook hands "Let's do it"

~I don't think I can take anymore of this~ Eriol sighed, tucking a strand of loose hair behind one ear ~being a girl is not as easy as I would have imagined~
The young incarnation held a stack of books in her arms on the way to the library. Her eyes stared at the pavement beneath her as she walked. The blue-haired girl was lost in thought, that she didn't notice as she walked directly into something solid. Books went flying everywhere.
"Gomen ne!" came a voice
"Oh, that's alright" Eriol reached out her hand to reclaim the book, but another hand brushed across her fingers reaching for the same book
Blue eyes meet amber ones.
"I got it" He stood up and hand the book to her "Sorry about the whole mess. My name is Kenshigi Yummi"
The stranger had amber eyes and brown hair cut short. He flashed his best smiled at Eriol.
"Thanks for picking it up for me" The blue-haired girl avoided his gaze uncomfortably and turned to go.
"Wait" The stranger walked besides her "where are you heading?"
"The library" The answer was short and curt
"That's where I am going too" He said smiling "What's your name?"
"My name is Yurik" she lied ~Why is this guy following me?~
"You know, I've never noticed you around here before" The teen boy glanced at Eriol
"I'm new to the area" the wizard replied "I just moved to that mansion a block away"
"You know what they say don't you?" He leans in and whispered
"What?" Eriol shook his head, interested in what everyone said about his manor
"That the place is haunted and that a evil old wizard lives there"
~So, now I am an evil old wizard?~ Eriol smirked, Yummi had no idea
"Really?" The Englishwoman pretended to be interested "How do you know I'm not the evil old wizard?"
"Well¡you're young and pretty" He complimented
"I'm flattered" He replied calmly, but inside, the wizard panicked ~Is he *flirting* with me?!~
"So¡do you have any plans this weekend" He asked casually
"err.." She stuttered ~Uh oh~
--------------------------------------------------------------------

"Okay, Kico" Ming held a dusty leather-covered book in his arm "Give me the rabbit foot"
"Ugh, this thing has a bad smell" The little girl held the furry foot by her fingertips and wrinkled her nose distastefully
"We still need a frog's tong, a strip of Oak bark, and the petals of a white water lily" Ming dropped the rabbit's foot within the caldron bubbling with different ingredients.
"I've got everything!" Kico announced smiling
"Great" Ming turned to the sandy-haired girl "Drop them in"
She threw the last ingredients into the caldron. The potion immediately turned a clear ocher color.
"Can I stir?" Kico asked excitingly, standing on a chair (She's a little too short) over the cauldron
"Go ahead" was the reply
"Muhahaha" the girl cackled wickedly
The green-eyed boy chuckled at her behavior
"What? I was in the mood" the girl shrugged
------------------------------------------------------------------

Syaoran walked around aimlessly. Turning into a girl has been the toughest thing he ever faced. Sure he could deal with escaping Clow cards that can kill him in one swipe, but being a girl is just¡torture.
"Ohayo, do you know where Ojika manor is located?" A finger tapped her shoulder
I belong to a boy around 18 or so.
"I'm not exactly sure" Syaoran replied
"That's okay"
The Little Wolf turned back and went back to his broodings
"Hey!"
the brown-haired girl ignored the call and walked off
~Why is that guy keep following me?~ Syaoran thought to herself as she saw the same guy pop up behind her
"Excuse me, ano-" It was the guy that asked for directions
"Look. If you're seriously hitting on me, I swear I'll-" The little wolf turned, his fist poised in preparation to strike the guy in the jaw.
"No, no, you misunderstood!" He put up his hands in a gesture of peace "You kept disappearing and it was hard to follow you. I just want to find you and give back the wallet you dropped on the ground."
"Oh" The amber-haired youth felt the heat rising on his face "Gomen"
---------------------------------------------------------------------
"Oh, my!" Tomoyo chuckled quietly at the scenes of Eriol and Syaoran on her camcorder "interesting footage"
"The greater significance" Taeia watch the film next to her future mother "is that potential black mailing is always an option" A devilish smile splayed across her lips.
"Oh yes" Tomoyo displayed a similar grin
---------------------------------------------------------------------
(Palace)
"It's ready" Ming glanced up at Kico
With shaky hands, the girl pour the potion into a cup and mixed into it a large amount of tea.
"Don't worry" Ming assured
Kico gave a nod and went to deliver the tea
