I DON'T OWN CCS OR CC! OK??????
Ahem. Let's continue.
The Fire and the First Day of School
Syaoran released his sword and faced the spirit, but instead of attacking, he instinctively called upon the water crystal. I hope this works... "Power of the Ancients! I call upon the Water Crystal! Water, attack!". His sword glowed blue and the water spirit appeared. She easily weakened the fire to the point of exhaustion. The fire spirit smiled and said, "You are the true master, for you trust your instincts. You knew how to call upon my sister without asking anyone. I will be glad to serve you". He turned into a crystal and disappeared into the sword, which glowed red and then faded. Syaoran turned and faced the others with Kai at his side. "Guess you guys should be informed of some things, huh?"
Eriol spoke up and said, "It's late. Explanations can wait until tomorrow, but most of us already know what's going on. You guys should come back to my place and get some rest".
"I still can't believe that we have to stay with you, Hiiragizawa", grumbled Syaoran. "Come on Kai. Eriol, we'll meet you back at your house". He jumped into the trees and disappeared. Kai sighed and said, "He'll never change. Always the bossy one". She turned to everyone and said, "I suppose I'll see you all tomorrow, then. Good night." She leapt up like Syaoran and was gone.
Everyone but Eriol and Damien was shocked. Kero said, "The gaki's the crystal master? What's the world coming to?" He began to fly home. "Eriol- kun", said Tomoyo, "Before we go, who was that girl?" Eriol answered, "That was Li Kai Ling, the second star guardian, and Damien's partner".
Sakura turned to ask Damien if it was true, but he had disappeared.
She was still dumbfounded at the night's events and stood there until Tomoyo said gently, "Come on Sakura-chan, let's get you home". She bid Eriol a good night, walked Sakura home, and went home herself.
Sakura was thinking deeply as she got ready for bed. Are Kai Ling and Syaoran the new students? They probably are. I wonder what's so prestigious about them, besides the fact that Syaoran's from the Li clan. I wonder why Damien-kun was so surprised to see Kai Ling? Aren't they partners? I wonder if Syaoran has a girlfriend...mou! What am I thinking? You baka! He probably does anyway. Maybe it's that Kai Ling girl. But still...he's gotten even more handsome...
Syaoran was getting ready to go to sleep. He was thinking about Sakura. She's gotten even more gorgeous...Baka! Baka Syaoran! She isn't yours anymore. Just forget about her and concentrate on the crystals. Poor Kai...she'll have to see Damien with his girlfriend tomorrow...I'll stick by her just in case. After all, what are best friends for... as he went to sleep, he found himself wondering if Sakura was thinking about him too...
The Next Day...
"Okay students!" Please welcome your two new classmates from Hong Kong, Li Syaoran and Li Kai Ling!" Narada-sensei was being extra perky at the thought of having 2 of the most important people in China in his class. "Go ahead and introduce yourselves!"
"My name is Li Syaoran, I play most sports, but I love soccer, and I like to debate as well", said Syaoran with his normal glare.
"My name is Li Kai Ling", she said with a confident smile, "and I love to sing and play tennis. I also like gymnastics".
The girls in the class were instantly drooling over Syaoran. Whispers of, "He's so hot!" and "He's gonna be my boyfriend" came from every girl except for Tomoyo, because she loved Eriol, Katori, because she was with Damien, and Sakura, who was thinking about how good he looked and how he'd never go for any of those fake girls, but didn't say anything because Xian was next to her.
The guys were whispering about Kai, calling her "a hottie", "gorgeous" and saying that she was going to be "my next girlfriend". Every guy except, of course, Eriol, because he was head over heels for Tomoyo, Damien, who was thinking about her and how good she looked but didn't want Katori to hear, and Xian, who was with Sakura.
Syaoran and Kai ended up in the seats behind Sakura and Xian. Kai gave Xian a look as she passed by, she was getting an odd feeling from that guy...and Syaoran glared at Damien as he passed, just to let him know that he knew about Katori.
They survived all of their classes until lunch, and then went outside to sit and eat.
Introductions were made, since the group (Sakura, Xian, Tomoyo, Eriol, Damien,& Katori) invited Syaoran and Kai to sit with them, and it was partially explained how everyone knew each other. Damien told a semi-truth and said that Syaoran and Kai were old classmates of his, and Sakura, Tomoyo, and Eriol said the same about Syaoran. So far not one word had been exchanged between Sakura and Syaoran. The same went for Kai and Damien. While Xian went off to socialize and Katori went off for milk, Tomoyo had to ask, though, "Syaoran, how did you get red streaks in your hair? They look so kawaii!!!", Syaoran glared at Kai and said, "It's all her fault". Kai replied indignantly, "It was not!" She explained to the others, "I was teaching him a spell to find objects, and he said it wrong and gave me blonde highlights. To get back at him I said a spell to give him red ones". This got a laugh out of everyone. Xian and Katori came back and they stopped. A nervous-looking girl came up to them and tapped Kai on the shoulder.
"Excuse me?", she said
Kai smiled and said, "Yes?"
"You're the famous singer, aren't you? You're Tiger Eyes, right? I recognize you from your picture on the CD cover."
Kai sighed inwardly, but kept her smile and said, "Yes, that's me. I came here to record my new CD, but don't tell anyone, ok? I sort of want to keep a low profile."
"Oh no problem, but can I have your autograph? I love your music!" The girl got Kai's autograph and went away happily. Kai sighed. "And I was hoping no one would recognize me". She turned back around.
The group was staring at her, except for Syaoran. "You're Tiger Eyes, Li- san? Sugoi! I love your music!", said Sakura "So you picked Tomoeda to record your new CD, Li-san? Wow!", said Tomoyo. "You're so cool! I love your music! Damien-kun didn't tell me he knew a famous celebrity!" yelled Katori. She was just a "little" annoying. Damien said, "That's because I didn't know either" Kai merely said, "A lot changes in a year". Damien shut up and got a guilty look on his face.
Kai smiled at Katori and said, "Kinomoto-san, Daidouji-san, you may call me Kai-chan. There's 2 Li's here, and that gets me confused, plus, no one ever calls me Kai Ling, except in formal situations. And I want us to be friends". She got replies of: "You can call me Sakura-chan!" "Then of course you can call me Tomoyo-chan"
Kai turned to Syaoran. "At least you didn't get recognized", she said. "Yeah, well, more people are interested in a famous singer than in a famous clan leader" he said jokingly. "You're leader of the clan now?", Sakura asked. Not meeting her eyes, Syaoran replied, "Yes Kinomoto, I was inducted a few months ago, on my birthday". Sakura felt an inward pang as he called her Kinomoto, but decided to ignore it. He continued. "Kai is my second in command". The bell was about to ring, so Xian went to talk to his friends again, while Katori happily bounced towards the classroom. "I say that we all meet at my house after school to discuss our...problem", said Eriol. "Sakura, bring the cards, because us gathering might attract another crystal. Agreed?". "Agreed", everyone said, and they all left for their separate classes.
Ahem. Let's continue.
