Yo! Christmas break fever has just broken out and I suddenly find myself with NOTHING to do. I've played video games for so long that I'd be happy never to see another video game for the rest of my life. I've read every book in the house at least 7 times(even went so far as to skim through the dictionary once or twice) So as a last ditch attempt to amuse myself I'm writing the third chapter of FMTTM (Follow Me to the Moon.) so Enjoy and Review!
Disclaimer: I don't own CCs! Please don't Sue me. You're going to feel unbearably guilty if you sue a girl as incredibly CUTE as me. So there.

Chapter 3: Green Eyed Fairies
Sakura stared at her hands, watching as tiny sparks of electricity hopped from one finger to another. It felt so good to be able to use the powers she couldn't use while she was a prisoner. It had felt like half of her was missing. But now it felt like falling into a nice comfy bed after an incredibly tiring day. Element. That was the first thing she had learned, but now she was so much more advanced in her magic that she could create demons that wouldn't be killed by human means and that would obey her every whim without question. That was the power she dreaded in using. She didn't want anyone to find out. Not even Tomoyo. If someone found out......Sakura suppressed the urge to shudder. "Ouch!" Meiling gasped as she wrenched her hands away form Sakura's hands. Eriol grinned, "That's what happens when you let your curiosity get the better of you Meiling."
"Why doesn't that hurt her?" Meiling demanded, sticking her numb fingers in her mouth.
"Because" Syaoran replied tersely "She's the one who created it. Now be quiet and try to sit still"
"Sakura?" Tomoyo asked, her amethyst eyes worried.
Sakura's head snapped up. "H-Hai?" Sakura's hands gave a surge of power so strong that her hands began to resemble a pale blue nightlight. Tomoyo's eyes widened slightly, "Uh....you have your game face on. Is anything wrong?"
Sakura shook her head vehemently. "No! No nothing's wrong, w-why you say anything like that?" Sakura asked, not meeting Tomoyo's eyes.
Eriol smiled slightly. "We're not going to attack you Sakura, now what's wrong?"
The emerald eyed girl stared at him, why did this man remind her of her father? why did she want to trust him so? The way he was looking at her, as if he were a father, looking fondly, wisely at his daughter that she didn't have the heart to lie to him. "Demons..." She mumbled. Syaoran spoke to her for the first time, his voice held the slightest trace of confusion. "What about demons?" he asked gently.
Syaoran blinked, she didn't disappear. So she wasn't some fairy that would disappear when she was scared. Why did she look like that? Sitting there, in the pale light of the room, in that corner, Why did she look like a porcelain doll? Those dazzling mint green eyes of hers looked so heartbroken and helpless that he felt the permafrost around his cold heart melt just the tiniest bit.
Syaoran had always been fond of the color green. Those eyes of hers changed shades with the slightest movements of light and angle. He wondered how her eyes would look in the sunlight, or the sunset.....Syaoran almost slapped himself. Idiot! he mentally berated himself. He forced those alien thoughts from his mind and tried to focus on what she was saying. ".....and I'm afraid someone might find out about this ability because they might try and use this.....and I really don't want to hurt anybody....so...." Sakura trailed off, staring into the air.
"Come back with us then."
Everyone in the vicinity turned to look at Eriol. "What?!" Meiling asked, shocked.
Syaoran's face betrayed no hint of approval or disregard. Eriol found it really annoying that he couldn't tell what the amber-eyed man was thinking. Then he spoke. "You do know Eriol, that if we take them there, you'll have to take full responsibility, and it will be your duty to explain to Dr. Umieshi about your reasons...." Syaoran smirked. "And those reasons, I might add, have to be good enough to convince the council."
Eriol made a face. "Leave that to me, descendant." To the girls he smiled warmly. "You'll be welcome there I'm sure." Tomoyo puffed up, looking indignant. "What makes you think we need your help?" she asked, portraying the image of haughty rich girl perfectly. Sakura smothered the urge to grin, and she turned her chuckle into cough. Tomoyo always did this when they were children. Anytime they were in trouble for something, Tomoyo would use her family connections to get them out. Sakura looked at Syaoran, he was trying not to smile too. He seemed to enjoy watching Eriol squirm.
The room was quiet. "Well?" Tomoyo asked with false impatience. "We've just gotten out of a prison in which we were held against our will for nine years, only to be held prisoner be you again?" Tomoyo asked, a hint of bitterness in her voice. Eriol sighed. "You'll not be held against your will" He locked eyes with Tomoyo, giving her that soulful stare that seemed to see your darkest secrets. "I Promise you that."
Tomoyo felt heat traveling to her cheeks. Why was he looking at her like that? "O-Of course." She said, looking away.
Meiling looked at Eriol, then Tomoyo and back again. She grinned. Well, well, well...looks like Mr. Unaffected isn't so unaffected by Tomoyo. "Meiling? What's wrong?" Sakura asked. Meiling gave her a smile that could almost be classified as evil.
" Oh nothing..."
