CHAPTER TWO

Camera From Hell-O, Tomoyo!!

We were well down the street, and into down town when I realized I was still holding his hand. I blushed violently, then dropped his hand, which was trembling slightly. A quick glance at his face told me that he was blushing even harder than I was.

"Gomen ne, Li-kun," I muttered, eyes on the sidewalk.

"'s okay, Sakura," he muttered back to me.

"WELL THERE YOU GUYS ARE!" yelled a voice from up the street. It was Eriol.

"QUIT FLIRTING BACK THERE AND COME ON! WE'RE ALMOST LATE FOR THE MOVIE!"

"WE WEREN'T FLIRTING, ERIOL!" we yelled at the same time.

"Sure you weren't!!" yelled back Tomoyo and Eriol.

We sent them simultaneous glares and jogged up to them, perfectly in step. I blushed again.

Damnit I need to see a specialist about that.

We power-walked to the movie theater and ran inside. Eriol bought Tomoyo her ticket, naturally, and I was more than surprised when Syaoran bought me mine.

I was blushing horribly, when Tomoyo suggested that she and I buy the snacks since they bought us tickets.

"Right," I said quickly, dashing off to the snack stand with Tomoyo, while Eriol and Syaoran went to find some seats.

We bought nachos, popcorn and icees and laden with snacks, we half ran to the movie. It was only half crowded, with a bunch of kids our age, or a little bit older. They were all the way at the back, and I blushed, noticing there were two seats between them. I was thankful for the dim lighting.

We sat down, I blushing furiously, Tomoyo more composed, just as the credits ended and the movie began.

~*~

[no spoilers for you ppl that haven't seen it, have no fear!]

Three, heaven filled hours later, we walked out of the movie theater, sipping on any remainders of our now melted Icees, or eating remnants of popcorn and other various goodies.

"Good movie," commented Tomoyo. "I NEED to start animating my stuff!"

We sweatdropped, and she giggled. "Eriol will you help me?"

"Of course, my love," he sighed, resting his head on her shoulder.

I coughed, disgusted with this outward display of sugary affection.

"Were you even _watching_ the movie?" asked Syaoran.

"Of course!" chorused Eriol and Tomoyo innocently.

"There was the part—"

"And don't forget about when—"

"And the time—"

"You guys didn't watch it at all," I confirmed.

"Seriously we did! The elf is hot!" Tomoyo said hurriedly.

"Ahem." Came from Eriol.

"Hot as in _elf_, not as in HUMAN…or most powerful being reincarnated into an incredibly sexy human guy who happens to be named Eriol," she amended breathlessly.

I blinked and said, "You did not watch the movie."

"I did too!"

"And you need to cut the sugar intake by half."

"Eriol did you watch the movie?" asked Syaoran.

"Of course."

"So why did popcorn fly in the air?"

"I was hungry." He said smoothly.

I rolled my eyes, and sighed. Then there was a face that looked weirdly familiar out of the corner of my eye. I spun around, and stared at that face. That face… What the…

"Isn't that Legolas?" I inquired, confused, pointing a finger.

"Yeah, I think it is…" Tomoyo whispered.

"Go talk to him!" I hissed back, shoving her forward.

"No way!" she whispered, pushing me into him. I tripped, and he grabbed me to stop my fall.

"Uh…Legolas?" I asked.

Syaoran walked up. "Sakura?" he asked

"Xiao Lang!?" Legolas asked staring at us.

"What the—" asked Eriol, peering at the three of us over his glasses. "Sakura, isn't that the guy from the movie we just saw?"

Syaoran snickered, "The movie you did NOT see…"

Eriol shot him a dirty look, and took a thread of spool out of his pocket. Syaoran turned pale and fell silent.

"I beg your pardon?" Legolas asked, confused. "I'm in a _movie_? What's a moveeeeeeeeee?" he strung out the word.

I straightened, and said, "You ARE Legolas, aren't you?!"

"Ye-es…"

I eyed his ears.

"What happened to Sauron?" he wanted to know. "Where am I? And…"

"Erm…let's put it this way, Legolas," said Eriol, draping an arm over Legolas' shoulders. "Let's just say you're not in…Middle Earth any more."

Legolas looked confused, to say the least.

-WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON!?!?!- I asked mentally to Syaoran.

-No idea. And don't talk so loud.-

-Oops. Sorry-

"How do you know me, any way, Legolas?" Syaoran asked the golden haired elf.

"Everybody knows you, sire." The elf replied, surprised

"Why are you calling him 'sire', Legolas?" I asked gently.

"He was the prince of Cheena, Chorna? Canna? Ah yes, I think it was China…a long time into the future. It's all a prophecy…. Of course, it was all legend, but I suppose it's true, Mistress."

"Mistress?"

"Yes, you are the Card Mistress, are you not?"

"I am, but…" I sat down on a bench "What…are…you?"

"I am Legolas, chief elf, master archer." He replied proudly, hitting his chest with his palm.

"That still doesn't help me." I said confusedly.

He sweat dropped—which I didn't think was possible—and said, "Okay, listen, in my world, there is this foretelling of a great ruler called Xiao Lang who was rumored to have hair the color of the richest soil and eyes the color of dark honey. He was strong and powerful. There was also the girl—Sakura Kinomoto, who had hair the color of amber sap from a tree, and eyes the color of the greenest tree. These were just legends, of course, but they were said to have more than enough power to defeat Sauron himself—easily!"

Syaoran and I exchanged a look, and he cocked an eyebrow.

"Aren't you supposed to be Orlando Bloom?" asked Tomoyo, videotaping the whole "episode".

"Pardon me?" replied Legolas.

"Er, never mind," asked Tomoyo, rolling her eyes.

"O-okay…" he said.

"Legolas…how much do you know about me?" I asked.

"Everything." He said, confirming what I dreaded.

"oh." What if he knew some thing about my feelings for Syaoran?! I panicked, and mentally sent him ~S-so…you know…about…um…Syaoran?~

-Yes.- That sent me mentally reeling, and I shut down my end before I could hear some thing that I didn't want to hear.

"And Clow Reed! You are reincarnated, no?"

"I am," said Eriol smoothly, unperturbed.

So for the next five or ten minutes, Eriol, Tomoyo and Legolas all chatted animatedly about one thing or another, while Syaoran and I hung back.

"This is too weird," I muttered out of the corner of my mouth. "It's almost like my dream,"

Syaoran looked at me sharply. "Was it a premonition?"

I sighed. "We'll find out," There was a flicker of magic, but neither Syaoran, Eriol, or Tomoyo noticed, so I figured I imagined it.

"Was _I_ in your dream, Sakura-chan?" asked Syaoran playfully, snaking an arm around my shoulder.

Something was seriously wrong here. Syaoran called me Sakura-chan. And he was flirting with me. Syaoran does not flirt.

I removed his arm from around me. Why, I do not know.

"Sa-KURA…" whined Syaoran, grabbing my hand and squeezing it.

"DAMNIT!" yelled a voice, strangely familiar. It was Tomoyo. My jaw dropped. She threw her camera on the ground and spat on it. "THIS STUPID ASS CAMERA! WHY THE HELL AM I EVEN CARRYING IT AROUND?"

"TOMOYO?" I gasped. Eriol swiftly picked it up, and snapped his fingers, fixing it and cleaning it. He held it steady, video taping everyone and everything.

"Yeah, so what's it to you?" she snapped. "And what are you staring at, _Eriol-kun?_ "she asked, emphasizing his name.

"Uh…n-n-nothing," he stammered.

"It better not be," she replied. "There are these things called contacts, Eriol. Go buy some." Then her eyes landed on Legolas. "Damn you are HOT!" she said.

"C'mere, you HOTTIE!" she purred, tiptoeing fingers up his shoulder. Eriol's eyes bugged out and he turned red. Legolas looked undoubtedly afraid as Tomoyo began flirting shamelessly with him. Not afraid of Tomoyo, but of Eriol, who turned an interesting shade of gray-orange, which clashed with his hair.

Then Eriol's eye started twitching as he started twitching.

"ERIOL!" I yelled, smacking him with my hand. "SNAP OUT OF IT!"

"SHUT THE HELL UP!" snapped Tomoyo. "DAMN! I swear, do you people ever put a sock in it?!"

"Huh?!" he looked around wildly. "Oh. Sakura." Then he smugly grinned, noticing Syaoran fawning all over me.

"Li, get OFF…" I muttered, loosening his grip on my hand.

"No WAY!…I think girls with green eyes are sexy," he said matter-of-factly.

My eyes bugged out, and I blushed. Again.

"And that means YOU ARE!" he said in a sing-song voice, freaking me out.

He buried his face in my hair. "Smells like…petals…cherry petals…" he murmured. "When we get married, for our honey moon, I'm gonna spread cherry petals EVERYWHERE!" he stated.

Eriol started laughing hard, and I was mortified. "Put—it—away!" I hissed, motioning at the camera.

"Nope," said Eriol happily. I scowled, and pushed Syaoran off.

"PUT A SOCK IN IT!" roared Tomoyo to Eriol, punching him in the gut. He doubled over in pain, stumbling backwards, falling on his butt. His eyes were watering, and Legolas raised an eye brow, and said nothing.

"Now, where were we?" she asked sweetly ,kissing the elf full on the lips. Eriol's eyes widened, as Legolas' did, and the world stopped for a second.

He was still filming everything. Syaoran grabbed my shoulders, and mimicked Tomoyo. He kissed me on the mouth. I heard a forced laugh from Eriol, that sounded more like a half-sob.

Everything was spinning so fast…it melted, then came back, and I was greeted by Syaoran suddenly beginning to twitch, and he pulled away. Screaming and laughing psychotically, he leapt upon the park gate, and started acting a scene from Romeo and Juliet.

"Two households both alike in dignity,

In fair Verona, where we lay our scene,

From ancient grudge break to new mutiny

Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean!"

And it started turning…odd…

"From…uh…from the forth the fatal groins of these two foes

BUT NO BODY KNOWS!

So…friends, Romans, and Countrymen, lend me your ears…uh, for…CEASAR IS DEAD! Et tu, Brutus? To…uh, be, or not to be! That is the question?! That's not a …what? Poor…poor Hamlet…how fair I knew thee, um…thy…uh, thou?

So, I asked the Raven, and the Raven said, NEVER MORE! Because um, that question is not a question! No, that's the question! And it is: Four score and seven years ago, we the people in order to form a more perfect union are …writing a Constitution so I will tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth so help me Bob! And, give me peace of mind…I mean give me freedom, or give me justice! Um, ask not what you can do for your country, ask what your country can do for you because…oh…uh…"

And he carried on like that for ten minutes, mixing together bits and pieces of plays, speeches and written documents, and people started gathering around him, tossing him coins and money. He hopped off the wall and came up to me, taking my hand and kissing the back of it.

"So that is why, I, Syaoran Li, ask you, Sakura Kinomoto to be my lawful wedded wife…will you marry me, Sakura?" he asked stars in his eyes.

My face burst into flames as he clutched my hand. "Um…I…" I stammered.

"PLEEEEEAAASE SAY YES!" he asked. "I wrote you a poem!" There was an "awwww" from the crowd.

"Sakura, Sakura you are so beautiful to me

Your eyes they remind me of a tree

They are as green as gold is blue

And I bequeath my heart to you [AN: sry to those ppl who read RAIN, I just couldn't help myself!!]

"Take my heart that has its little wings,

Because when you hug me, it sings!

The ocean is blue and larks my crow

But it is good to know

That I have you

Do you have me?

Can we have a picnic 'neath the trees?

The trees the color of your eyes

You and I are little spies

The chocolate pudding melts

I look at our love we share

and I smile."

There was silence. "Um…" The whole crowd was disappeared, in fact, there was no one on the street any more. Even the birds were silent. Then a tumble weed rolled across the street.

"OH HOW CORNY!" gagged a voice. Tomoyo. For some reason, I began to grow irritated. She had stopped making out with Legolas, and said, "That's what you call vomit on paper." Syaoran burst into tears and started cowering at my feet.

Maybe it was seeing him cry. Maybe it was one of those days. Snapping, I said, "Well your face is crap on a mirror." It came out of nowhere, considering it couldn't be Tomoyo I was talking to. Eriol gave a low whistle.

"What was that, skank?" asked Tomoyo dangerously.

"You heard me," I replied icily. Then I sighed. "Hoeeee….. Eriol this is confusing," I muttered.

"DID YOU JUST CALL ME A HOE!?" screeched Tomoyo, lunging at me. Panicking, I transformed my wand, and smacked her over the head. She looked at me, then passed out.

Syaoran was still bawling at my feet, so I smacked him too. Then, two spirits shot out of their foreheads.

"Um…Eriol?" I asked weakly. He snapped his fingers, and we were back at his house.

The spirit that came out of Tomoyo's head was a young girl wearing a shirt with black on the left, white on the right, and then a long skirt in the same way.

Her hair was half way done up on the right side, then ratty and disgusting on the left.

"I am the Opposite card!" she smiled crookedly. I chanted the incantation, and sealed the Opposite.

The second spirit came into its true form, a laughing jester, wearing purple and lime green. Her long red hair tumbled about her shoulders, and she stuck her tongue out at me.

"IIIIIIIIII AM THE OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOODD CAAAAARD. WHOOOOOOOOOOOO ARE YOUUUUUUU?" she did a quick handspring, and giggled delightedly, a smile so broad it could have rivaled with the Cheshire Cat's.

"I am Sakura Kinomoto, keeper of the cards!" I stated imperiously. It didn't work.

She yawned in a bored tone, and I ground my teeth together. Then she giggled again, clapping her hands together. "To seal me, we must play a game!!"

Irritation surged through me, but I didn't let it show. "Fine," I breathed. "Go ahead."

"Copy me!" she said.

And she backed up, and did a combination of handsprings and cartwheels.

"Jump!" I whispered, and little wings sprouted from my feet. I ran forward, and mimicked her exactly.

"Good job!" she praised, and threw her hat at my feet. "You won!"

I rolled my eyes. This card was just annoying after a while. I raised my wand, and yelled the incantation. Odd smiled, and said "You know, Syaoran wasn't lying," before she was sucked into the card.

"WHAT?!" I yelled at the card in my hand.

A smiling figure of Odd was staring up at me. "Tell me…" I whispered unhappily.

There was a loud cursing in Mandarin from around my feet. Syaoran. I blushed deeply, and hoped terribly that he wouldn't remember any of this. I knelt down to where Syaoran was stirring at my feet.

He spat out a few more oaths, and stood up.

"Syaoran?" I asked, voice shaking slightly. I helped him up, and he blushed deeply.

Tomoyo, too, started to wake up. Her eyelids fluttered open, and Eriol helped her up.

~ERIOL~

Today was just completely sucking major ass. And I was beginning to lose my temper. I never lose my temper. I'm always the cool, smug, calm guy. Syaoran is the one who goes out on his emotions now. Not me.

I mean, Tomoyo dissed me, punched me with one hell of a force in the stomach, and started making out with an elf. Sure, it was the work of a card, but it was _Tomoyo _. My lovely, angelic Tomoyo. Cursed repeatedly at me. And she physically and mentally hurt me.

No, wait, that wasn't hurting me. It was wrenching my heart out, throwing it in a Cuisinart, taking it out, subjecting it to a herd of stampeding elephants, then roasting it to a crisp, and finally taking a huge sledge hammer and annihilating any little bit that was left.

But not before hanging it on a duck the day shooting season starts.

Her eyelids fluttered open, and her amethyst eyes were locked on to mine. I dropped the camera, and helped her up. Her breath was caught in a sob, "Oh, Eriol!" she cried. "I'm so sorry!"

And she fell into my arms, head buried into my chest. I rested my cheek on her smooth hair, hoping that she didn't feel the tears drip on to the back of her shirt.

~SAKURA ~

Syaoran blushed deeply, and let go of my hand, and ran his own hand through his messed up hair.

"Um…what happened?" he asked finally, not meeting my eyes.

I coughed, blushing, and said, "Uh…"

Eriol spoke up. "We can watch it, you know. I taped the whole thing."

"You did?" cried Tomoyo, arm around his waist. "Thanks Eriol!" she pecked him on the cheek. At that, Syaoran and I blushed deeper for no particular reason.

"Eriol, you are absolutely the best!" and she threw her arms around him.

[A/N: GAHHHHH I am so darn tired, and it's only nine thirty three. School is too long. I vote that they shorten school hours by 59.37% (random number, don't ask) so anyways go figure…]

Then the ground started to shake. Legolas had a bow strung and an arrow fitted just before the first tremor.

Then this little guy popped of the middle of the street. He had huge hairy feet.

He had blue, blue eyes, and was fingering a little golden ring.

"FRODO?!" gasped Legolas, eyes bugging out.

"IT's ELIIIIIIIJAH!" squealed Tomoyo.

Then Frodo/Elijah _squeaked_ and shrieked, "SAURON APPROACHES! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaAAAAAAGH!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

O_o a bit odd, I know. But, that's okay, right? RIGHT!?!?!?! Right. So review, please please pleaaaaaase? I'll love u forever!! I know I said that on the other one but I really mean it!

Oh, and don't run with scissors. You might hurt yourself.
