Improper use of Magic - chapter one. By Ema-chan.
"Come on, come on, Sakura! Wake up!"
She didn't move.
Kero sighed. "Guess I have no choice then do I?"
"SAKURA! WE ARE GOING TO BE LATE!" He then picked up a glass of cold water and threw it all over the sleeping card mistress.
Even that didn't work.
Kero growled. Sakura was being extra-sleepy today. Desperate, he grabbed her alarm, a new glass of cold water, cleared his throat, and took a deep breath. He flew near to her ear and pressed the alarm button, at the same time throwing water all over her and yelling:
"SAKURA, IF YOU DON'T GET UP NOW, I'LL –"
"AAAAHHHH! KKEEEERRROOOO! Don't do that!"
She sat bolt upright in bed and looked at the clock Kero was holding an inch from her nose.
"AAAAHHHH!" she screamed again, after seeing they had half an hour to get to the airport.
"Sakura! Stop screaming!" he had enough of all Tomoyo and Sakura's squeals when Tomoyo made her new costumes and dresses, or if they were reading those teen magazines together. 'Girls…'
She jumped out of bed and ran around the room, much like any other day scrambling around to get her clothes on and hair brushed. She bolted into the bathroom opposite and cleaned her teeth frantically then shoved her toothbrush into her toiletry bag for her suitcase. She dashed back into her room, grabbed the Sakura book with all her cards and Kero by his tail then ran downstairs faster than she had ever gone before.
She dumped all her stuff on the kitchen table where Fujitaka Kinomoto and her brother Touya were standing. Kero had swirly eyes from being swung around too much. Sakura bent over and rested her palms on her knees and took in long, deep breaths to calm herself.
Touya looked at his watch. "I started timing you as soon as I heard you scream. Five minutes, thirty one seconds. That was pretty good, kaijuu."
"Sakura, is, not, a, kaijuu!" she panted out with each breath.
Fujitaka smiled at his children's familiar arguing. "Now, kids, we better get to the airport, otherwise Tomoyo and Yukito will worry."
They were about half way to the car when Sakura yelled out: "oh no! I forgot my manga collection!"
She ran all the way back upstairs grabbed her bag she filled with all the manga comics she had been collecting ever since Li Syaoran left for Hong Kong. She needed something to get her mind of him and to take her out of her depression, so she discovered manga one day at the bookstore. The first one she ever bought was Record of Lodoss War, volume one. Then volume two, then three…
Touya was waiting impatiently for her to lug her bag downstairs and into the car. Then he got into the passenger side seat and Fujitaka took the wheel and the drove off to the airport.
They got there just in time to hear their flight being called. 'Flight 546, gate twelve passengers boarding. Flight 546, gate twelve passengers…'
"Sakura-chan! Kinomoto-san! Over here!" Tomoyo was yelling to them, just on top of the escalator that would be taking them down to the departing gate.
Fujitaka kissed both his children on the head and said: "Touya, you may be older than twenty, but you are still my baby boy. And the same goes for you Sakura, you may be fifteen now, but you are still my baby girl. Your mother would have been proud of you for going to this school. She went there when she was young also."
"Gee, dad. Didn't know you could be so sentimental!" Touya said squirming away.
Sakura laughed and kissed her father on the cheek. "We'll be careful, Otousan. Don't worry. I got Touya and Yuki to look after me!"
She then danced happily off towards the gate, yelling 'sayonara' over her shoulder and waving wildly. She got there just as the ticket woman was letting Tomoyo, Yukito, and Touya through the gate onto the plane.
The woman who offered to show them to their seats was very nice. Too nice, Touya thought.
"Now you kids' can just sit down here." She looked at the number on their seat tickets. "Kinomoto Touya, you're by the window, Kinomoto Sakura, you're in the middle seat. Daidouji Tomoyo, you'll be next to her, and Tsukishiro Yukito…I apologise, but you have to sit in the middle aisle in seat 24D. Now, you have to fasten your seatbelts for takeoff, after we're in the air for a while, and the seatbelt sign goes off, you can unbuckle your seats and move around. I'll be back in ten minutes with water and other beverages for you to purchase if you wish to do so. Have a nice trip! We hope you fly with Japan Airlines again!"
Touya shook his head. Maybe it was the way all air hostesses acted. Sugary, sweet, put-up-with-anything attitude. I hope she doesn't cause us trouble.
*Now lets switch to Dumbledore's POV shall we?*
'Hmmm…that Touya is bright. Maybe she did go a little overboard with the sugary sweetness but anyhow…he'll see her importance when he gets here. He will just have to wait.'
Dumbledore blinked tiredly and stood slowly to go off to bed.
*End Dumbledore's POV. Short but sweet heh? *
*Now back to CCS POV huh? *
"Oh my gosh it's so kawaii! Almost as kawaii as my Sakura-chan!" the occupants of the plane sweatdropped and a different airhostess came to calm her down. It only worked for a total of oh…about five minutes, then she was up and recording all the passengers and tried to film inside the cockpit but they wouldn't let her, she was too excitable. Soon the passengers got used to see a hyperactive Japanese girl with long violet hair with a video camera permanently superglued onto her hand running around exclaiming kawaii every five seconds.
Touya sweatdropped. He turned with raised eyebrows to Yukito who was seated next to him. He and sakura had swapped seats for a while. Yukito shook his head and smiled that never-ending smile of his.
"She's like this all the time. Though I really don't understand what's so kawaii about an aeroplane…"
"I suppose if she thinks Sakura is kawaii then anything can be I guess."
Yukito slapped his arm playfully. "Sakura-chan is cute! Maybe it's just the eye of the 'niisan getting in the way."
Touya rolled his eyes in response and him and Yukito changed the subject and chatted about anything that came to mind.
About an hour later, a tallish, shortish, biggish, smallish, darkish, lightish haired woman walked past with a metal trolley (off an add shown here in Aussie…private joke also…) and offered them many drinks and a bit of food. (make up your own picture of what you want her to look like)
"What would you like dearies? We have two lunch dishes and a choice of soda water, water, wine, and other assorted fizzy drinks for this hour's meal. What would you like?"
Tomoyo had finally calmed down enough to eat while sitting still so she ordered a chicken and rice combination and a lemonade. Sakura got the same except she got two drinks, one lemonade, and one coke. She would later slip Kero the coke as a treat if he stayed quiet. Touya got the beef and rice combination and (unfortunately did not have his ID to get a wine) so he settled for a fizzy orange. Yukito got the chicken and a passionfruit fizzy drink.
They all ate in silence, with no comments of, "kaijuu," "I'm not a kaijuu!" "Scream of pain," "oh so kawaii!" from anyone. The passengers immediately relaxed.
Soon after the woman came back and collected all of their rubbish, Sakura secretly slipped Kero the coke and warned him not to spill it in her bag. Then one by one, most of the gang fell asleep for the rest of the plane ride.
When they landed, Sakura was one of the last people in the plane to get off. She slept through the landing, (while every normal person got lollies for blocked ears) and everyone stepping over her to get to the bag compartment. Tomoyo had woken her just after the last person stepped off the plane.
"HOOOOEEEE!" she screamed for no apparent reason.
"Kaijuu," Touya commented. "I think that is beginning to become a habit of yours when you wake up."
"I AM NOT A KAIJUU!" she yelled at him, stamping on his foot and making his clutch his foot and jump around the airport screeching in pain and causing a lot of commotion by slipping on someone's bag and falling onto the conveyor belt. Although he quickly got off, he still managed to gather quite a few cold looks from the airport officials. They had put up extra signs saying "do not touch, fall, step or have any other bodily contact with the conveyor belt." And they didn't work. After hours of placing them in exact positions that were unknown to man and his enemies. (Sorry I just HAD to put that bit in. uh…yeah…)
Yukito was still laughing over it when they had collected their bags (Touya had conveniently fallen on them) and had signed all the papers necessary for arriving in London. As they made their way to downtown London, lugging their bags, Touya suddenly remember the letter an owl had dropped off for him. He had yet to open it. He took it out of his pocket and read it quickly, his expression on his face turning from horrified, to stressed and then to annoyance.
The letter said:
To Touya Kinomoto -
You are required to wait at London Airport near the front entrance where a man of the name Rubeus Hagrid will meet you. He will lead you to Diagon Alley where you will all get your school things for the year.
- Minerva McGonagall.
Touya groaned.
"What's wrong To-ya?" Yukito asked him.
"We were meant to wait for some guy called Hagrid to meet us at the airport." He said, his voice muffled by his jacket sleeve.
"I'm sorry, I couldn't hear you." Yukito said.
"I said, we were meant to meet some guy name Hagrid at the airport."
"What?!" Sakura yelled, almost causing the eardrums to burst on all company present. "You mean we didn't have to carry our bags all this way? We did it all for nothing?"
(Sakura is grumpy after sleeping sitting up on an uncomfortable chair okay?)
Just then, almost by magic (heh…) a tall man…tall? Did I say tall? I meant huge…appeared in front of them with a smile on his face. "Ah," he said. "You must be them kids Dumbledore sent me to collect from the airport over yonder."
Sakura's mood suddenly changed. "Hai! We are those kids! We were wondering, can you take us to this Dragon Alley place?"
"Yes," Hagrid replied. "I am Rubeus Hagrid, please, just call me Hagrid. ' M sorry, but I must've missed you. I'll carry yer luggage for ya."
Everybody handed Hagrid their luggage gladly and he led them around the corner to a busy street and seemed to lead them into a dark alleyway. "Hmmm…it's here. I'll ask Tom to look after yer bags for a while then I can take you to the place where you'll be staying."
Tom quickly put the bags behind his counter safely hidden from prying eyes. Before that, Sakura had taken out the cards and put them into her pocket then did up the zipper closing Tomoyo had sewn in for her. You could never be too safe…
A letter carrier dropped a piece of parchment that someone had scribbled on in front of Hagrid who caught it and read it.
Hagrid –
Take the new students to go and stay with Harry. I have sent the Dursleys a letter explaining their presence and they will not be surprised when you show up on their doorstep with four kids. Harry has been informed of this and from his reply, sounded excited to have someone stay for the last few days until school begins. (The Leaky Cauldron has no room).
Good day,
Dumbledore.
"Well," Hagrid said. "Looks like Dumbledore has found a place for you to say. Though I am not sure why he thinks a letter is going to convince them Dursleys. Anyhow, I think we better be getting yer school stuff. Don't wanna start school without it eh?"
Okay…how was that for a first chapter? R+R please! The next chapter will have them buying all that crap that seems to come with the books, I'll try to make it as unboring as possible. I am NOT rushing this fic. If I get three more reviews, I'll update okay? And why on earth would I make them stay with the Dursleys of all people I hear you say. My answer is: I am because I think it would be funny. What could happen there that is funny? You just have to wait to find out.
Kero-chan: Review please!
Chibi-Yukito: nods.
Ryuu-sama: I am on holiday, so 'The Truth About Squeaky noises won't be updated for a while!
Suppi-chan: they're co-writing it. Seem to think it will work…
Chibi-Yukito: Don't be so negative Suppi!
Suppi-chan: Whose Suppi?
Ryuu-sama: Chibi-Yukito is putting you in this story too! Watch out! Run while you can!
*Ryuu-sama goes racing around the room like a crazed maniac while Kero and Suppi get all swirly eyed *
Review!
