Tomoyo gracefully walked up to the classroom door. Sliding the door open, she was greeted by Sakura and all of her friends.
Eriol sat in his normal seat in the corner of the classroom. He was randomly staring into space. Tomoyo giggled, Eriol only had that expresson on his face when he was in the deepest of thoughts.
~I really wish I could record that face of his…huh? Why would I want to record Hirigizawa-kun? I only record Sakura-chan, I recorded Li-kun because he is Sakura-chan's former rival and now partner. I recored Hirigizawa-kun that one time because he was the "enemy" in the fight.~
Tomoyo shook her head as she realized that she had been staring at him for the past 5 minutes. Class was about to start, she had to go unpack her things before the teacher came.
"All right everyone, please take a seat!" came Mr. Terada's voice.
"HAI!"

Sakura shifted in her chair, math was making her itchy.
~I hate long division! Hoe….I am going to flunk our next test!~
Syaoran noticed her movements, he could tell she was worried. Still frowning at himself for doing what he was planning to do, he passed tapped Sakura's shoulder. She turned around confused. Still berating himself silently and blushing furiously, he passed her a little, creamy white silk bag. It was tied at the top with a soft satin red cord, with a design of pale pink cherry blossoms all over the cloth.
Sakura blushed, she accepted the little bag. She turned back to her desk and opened it, pulling the cord loose and opening the soft cloth. Inside was another little package, this time wrapped in the lightest of green silk, and a note. Sakura took out the note and began to read.
This charm will help you feel better on your math test. It was my good luck charm, but I guess I'll give to you now. Don't take me wrong, I STILL think you are a weakling, you don't deserve the CLOW CARDS.
Li
Sakura unwrapped the blue silk, inside was a piece of hardened clay. The clay was of the finest quality and was an earthy white. The color of clean, fine mud dried in the sun. It was shaped as a flower; it seemed to fit her with its delicate clay petals opening to reveal a beautiful shimmering forest green stone in the middle. The flower was the a third the size of her palm and had a green silk tassel the color of her eyes attached to one of the petals.
Her eyes began to shimmer with tears. Li was such a good friend to her. She would treasure it forever…

The clock tower chimed its solemn bong bong.
Lunch was always a rather noisy affair at Tomoeda Elementary School. Sakura and Syaoran sat with their friends, Tomoyo, Eriol, and the others. Sakura was laughing at Chiharu who was at the moment strangling Yamazaki for telling another "story". She untied the strings that held her pink lunch bag closed.
Crunch, crunch, crunch…
"Ahhhhhh! There's a monster in my lunchbox," screamed Sakura as she threw the lunch bag into the bushes.
"Hey, hey! Watch where you're throwing your lunch bag, Sakura!" Yelled a very indignant Kero as he flew up from the bushes. Sakura looked at him.
"Kero-chan, what were you doing in my lunch bag…" Sakura looked in her lunch bag," and where's my lunch…..?" At once, Kero began to turn a nice shade of tomato red.
"Um, um…I think I put your lunch somewhere…uh, I kinda forgot where it is at the moment. But don't worry Sakura-chan! Um, I'm sure Tomoyo here will share her lunch with you!"
"Ohohohoho, Kero, you ate Sakura-chan's lunch didn't you? Ohohohoho, don't worry Sakura-chan, you can share my lunch."
"Thank you so much Tomoyo, though Kero-chan is going to be banned from video games for a week…"
"SAAAKKURRA-CHHAANN!!!! Please don't do this to me!!!"
"You brought it upon yourself, Kero-chan!"
Lunch progressed without any further interruptions. Then a gust of wind blew, throwing everyone's lunches into the air.
"Hey! My macaroni sandwich is flying away!"
Sakura and Syaoran, being the more athletic ones of the group, quickly recovered theirs and everyone else's lunches. However, sad to say, the person missing the macaroni sandwich never saw it again.
"There's macaroni in my hair!" Yelled one of the friends' classmates, Mikel.
He was a comical sight with yellow cheese dripping all over his face and clothing. Sakura and the others smothered their laughter behind their lunch bags. Tomoyo, being the nice person she was, went over to poor Mikel and offered him her napkin.
Finally, things quieted down. Sakura was looking threw her lunch for any edible pieces. Suddenly she saw a piece of paper, folded many times into a tiny square the size of her thumbnail. She unfolded the paper, thinking it was a note from her father when he packed her lunch. However, it wasn't. On the paper was a delicate wing. It had been drawn on the paper with a fine brush, and each feather was clearly distinguishable.
Syaoran, received something similar when he went to get out his rice balls. However, his piece of paper had nothing on it. The entire square of paper was jet black, the color of darkness.

The bell chimed softly to signal the end of the school day. Sakura, Syaoran, Tomoyo, and Eriol all started walking home together. Upon reaching the first crossroad, Sakura and Syaoran bid the others farewell as they went on their way home. Tomoyo and Eriol walked together in silence. Finally, they reached another crossroad.
"I guess we part ways here, Daidoji-san."
"Goodbye, Hirigizawa-kun."
The two walked off in opposite directions.
~***~
Tomoyo walked home slowly, dragging her feet slightly. Lately she had been so tired, yet she had no idea why. Hirigizawa-kun had been giving her odd looks all day. Shaking her head, she pushed that matter aside. Her footsteps sounded so hollow to her ears as she walked down the road to her home.
Then something caught her eye as she passed. Tomoyo saw a glasslike surface reflecting light into her eyes from behind the leafy foliage that bordered the road. Tomoyo went over to the bushes to investigate. It was a mirror, but no ordinary mirror. For ordinary mirrors didn't shine and shimmer with all the colors of the rainbow…
