Chapter 5: First Day of School
Touya got out of his room, dressed in a uniform and was suddenly attacked by somebody. "RISE AND SHINE!!!" Feimei shouted as Touya gasped for air. "Get *gasp* off of *gasp* me!" Touya choked as Feimei hung onto him tightly. "Fine... I know! I'll go see if Syaoran's awake!" Feimei shouted as she let go of Touya and ran to Syaoran's room to torture him.
Touya sighed a sigh of relief and rubbed the back of his neck. She has a strong grip - a really strong grip. Touya went down to see if anybody else was up and if he could get some breakfast.
He went down and was surprised to see that the table was set with food for everybody and Yelan was patiently waiting for everyone to come down. "Did you set the table?" Touya asked Yelan as he took a seat. "No, actually Meiling did." Yelan said, smiling. "You mean that girl? Does she always?" Touya asked, his mood darkening a bit at the mention of her name.
"Actually, this is the first time she's done it. It's usually Feimei or me that does it." Yelan said. "Oh..." Touya responded, looking around for Meiling. "I'll just see her in the kitchen." he said and walked into the kitchen and saw Meiling washing some dishes. "Hey... kid." Touya said, causing her to turn around. 'Did he just call me kid?' she thought, a bit annoyed, but ignored it.
'Oh yeah! The lunch!' she thought as she grabbed a neatly wrapped lunch box. "Oh! Here!" she stuttered as she handed him the box. 'Where did the stuttering come from?' Meiling thought, a bit embarrassed. "Hm, what's this?" Touya asked, staring at the lunch box in confusion.
Meiling took a deep breath. 'Steady girl...' she thought to herself. "I'm sorry." she said quietly, looking down at the floor. Touya blinked at the sight in front of him. A girl who was supposed to have lots of pride and a big ego made a lunch for him to apologize. He couldn't help but smile.
"Thanks kid." he said as he put his hand on Meiling's hand. To her own surprise, Meiling blushed. 'What the heck!!! I feel all hot! What's happening?' Meiling thought to herself. "Hey kid, are you ok? You look like you have a fever." Touya said, looking at her with concern. "I'm fine." Meiling said and ignored her speeding heart.
"Shall we go eat?" Meiling asked and Touya nodded his head. They walked to the dining room and found a hyper Feimei and a grumpy Syaoran.
"What's with you?" Meiling asked looking at Syaoran. "Feimei woke me up by pouring ice cold water on me." Syaoran said glaring at Feimei. Feimei just smiled innocently. "I was just making an effort to not let my little brother be late for school." she said in a way too sweet voice.
Touya snorted and Meiling rolled her eyes. Her sister could be so strange at times. They sat down and ate their breakfast. "Meiling?" Yelan said, making Meiling look up from her food. "Why did you wake up so early in the morning to make breakfast and a certain somebody's lunch?" Yelan asked, smiling mischieviously in a way. Meiling blushed but shook it off before anybody could notice.
"I-I um, I felt especially good today, so I decided to make breakfast for everyone! Hehehe..." Meiling giggled nervously, getting strange looks from her family except Yelan. "Never mind." Meiling mumbled and finished eating.
"I'm leaving now." Meiling said and rose from her seat, holding her plate to return it to the sink. "Me too." Syaoran said and rose from his seat holding his plate to take to the sink. Meiling and Syaoran got their backpacks, said their good-byes and was off.
"Let's walk to school together, k?" Feimei said, smiling at Touya. Touya gulped, got up from thet table, bowed to Yelan, put his plate back, grabbed his schoolbag and ran out the door all in 20 seconds. Feimei blinked, staring at the door and just realized what had happened.
"Good-bye mother!" she shouted as she did everything and ran out the door. Yelan shook her head smiling. "Kids..." she said under her breath and got out of her seat.
~*~
"Sakura, do you know what homeroom your in?" Tomoyo asked Sakura as they were walking to school. "I think it was somebody named Mr. Terada..." Sakura said, her eyes focusing to remember the name. "That's wonderful! You're in my class along with Syaoran and Meiling!" Tomoyo said, clasping her hands together. "That's great!" Sakura said smiling.
"Oh and..." Tomoyo began frowning. "What?" Sakura asked in confusion, not liking Tomoyo's expression a bit. "You remember Fang-Fei Iowa, right? Well, she's in our class as well." Tomoyo said, making Sakura sweatdrop. "HOEE!!!" Sakura yelled. She did not want to be in a classroom with somebody who absolutely loathes her. Including the fact that she'll be stuck in that classroom for the whole year until summer. (A/N: Yes, I know Hong Kong probably has different school and vacation times, but I don't know them, so I'm just going to follow the American standards.)
"But I don't think she likes me very much!" Sakura said, looking a bit frightened in a way. Tomoyo stared at Sakura, wondering why Fang-Fei would hate Sakura so much. Then it hit her. Tomoyo's been noticing it too. 'It's because Sakura seems like she has a crush on Syaoran.' Tomoyo thought, staring at Sakura in disbelief.
"What? Is something the matter?" Sakura asked Tomoyo, confused. "Oh, it's nothing." Tomoyo said, plastering on a fake smile so she wouldn't make Sakura worried.
Sakura smiled in relief and spotted the school. "Here we are!" Tomoyo announced to Sakura. "Hoe! It seems bigger than when I first saw it!" Sakura exclaimed, gaping at the school yet again. Tomoyo gave a little giggle. "Shall we go in?" Tomoyo asked.
"Mmhm." Sakura answered smiling and the two girls entered the school. They went up several flights of stairs and stopped in front of a door leading to their classroom. Tomoyo slid the door open and the two walked in to find that Syaoran, Meiling and Fang-Fei were already there and Fang-Fei was annoying Syaoran like nuts.
"Good morning!" Tomoyo and Sakura said cheerfully as they made their way to them. "Good morning!" Meiling responded cheerfully. Fang-Fei didn't reply due to the fact that she didn't like Sakura and Syaoran didn't reply due to the fact that he was being strangled to death.
Everyone sweatdropped. "Fang-Fei please let go of me!" Syaoran gasped through her tight hold. "Syaoran! If we're going to get married, you have to get used to this!" Fang-Fei whined while everyone sweatdropped more except Tomoyo. She had a bit of jealousy written on her face.
"Good morning Syaoran!" Tomoyo said to him. "Morning Tomoyo." he responded, trying to get Fang-Fei off his neck. "Good morning class." a man with reddish-brown hair and a deep voice whom Sakura assumed was the teacher came in.
"Good morning." the class said in unison. "We have a new student here today, but I can't seem to find her." the teacher said, looking around the room. Everyone looked at the unfamiliar girl with short honey-brown hair.
"Hoe..." Sakura said nervously sweatdropping and Meiling tapped her shoulder. Sakura looked at her. "Go to the front of the room." Meiling explained, pointing to the part of the room where the teacher was standing. "Oops, ok." Sakura said and walked up to the teacher. That earned her a few snickers from the class. Sakura sweatdropped more. 'Hoee...' Sakura thought as she stopped next to the teacher.
"This is Kinomoto Sakura. Please give her a warm welcome and be nice to her." Mr. Terada said. "Yes." the class said in unison again. "Now, Kinomoto. Why don't you sit behind..." he paused and looked around for an empty seat. "Oh, why don't you sit behind Li. Li, raise your hand." Mr. Terada said. (A/N: Do you know what? This is hard. Their speaking in Cantonese since they live in Hong Kong, and I don't know anything about Cantonese. But then again, there are two Li's, Syaoran and Meiling. and how am I supposed to seperate them. In Japanese I could just say "Li-kun" for Syaoran and "Li-san" for Meiling but, this isn't Japanese is it? Sooo, what do I do? Cantonese speakers, please help me!)
Syaoran raised his hand although it wasn't necessary. Sakura walked toward him and sat down in the seat behind his. "Now class, take out your history books and turn to page 258." Mr. Terada ordered walked to Sakura and handed her 4 books: math, history, Chinese, and science. "Thank you!" Sakura said and opened the history book while putting all the other books in her desk.
The class dragged on for an hour and a half and Sakura found herself almost dozing off. 'This is boring. I can't wait for lunch time.' And at that very thought, the bell rang. Sakura heard sighs of relief from all over the class and figured that they mustn't have enjoyed it very much either.
Meiling and Tomoyo ran up to Sakura and grabbed her hand. "Hoe?" Sakura said, confused as usual. "We'll introduce you to some people!" Meiling said excitedly as she made a gesture to Sakura saying let's go. "I'm sure you'll make many new wonderful friends!" Tomoyo exclaimed as she started pulling Sakura along. "H-Hoe..." Sakura said quietly as she sweatdropped. But she did love the idea of getting new friends.
Syaoran watched as Meiling and Tomoyo as they performed the actions that make girls... just girls. Syaoran sighed, shook his head and followed them with Fang-Fei latched onto his arm.
"Hey Li!" a funny sounding voice called out. Syaoran looked towards the direction his name was called. "Hi Yamazaki." Syaoran replied, not smiling as usual and continued following the girls. "Wait Li!" Takashi called out and ran up to him. "Now you've got ag pretty girl now sitting behind you!" he said, making Syaoran turn red a bit.
"HOW DARE YOU SAY THAT!!!" Fang-Fei and Chiharu shouted at the same time and hit Takashi at the same time. "My Syaoran would never be interested in any other girl than me!" Fang-Fei said glaring daggers at Takashi. He gave a nervous smile and looked up into the face of Chiharu, who was giving him the scariest glare he had ever seen. "Don't you dare think that any girl is pretty but me! You hear?!" Chiharu said in a 'I'm-warning-you-mister' voice.
Takashi gave a nervous gulp and slowly nodded. "Good." Chiharu said, her anger going down. Syaoran, red-faced, turned to go out to eat his packed lunch that Fang-Fei insisted on making. "Syaoran, you're not even going to get mad at him?!" Fang-Fei said, a bit confused on Syaoran's strange behavior. "It's a little joke." Syaoran simply answered, starting to accomplish his mission of extinguishing his blush. "Ok." Fang-Fei answered, still confused. 'No, he can't...' Fang-Fei though, looking at Syaoran with fear of eyes, picturing Syaoran together with a certain girl with emerald eyes...
~*~
"Li, Iowa, over here!" Sakura shouted cheerfully, waving her hand wildly from the place where she, Tomoyo and Meiling had gathered. Syaoran blushed as he saw Sakura. 'What's wrong with me?' Syaoran asked himself as he shook his head furiously to get the blush off.
"Syaoran, what's wrong?" Fang-Fei asked as she looked to Syaoran. "Nothing." Syaoran answered, regaining his cold, unemotional voice. Fang-Fei's eyes saddened, noticing the voice change. "Alright then Syaoran." she said a bit sadly but to her relief, Syaoran didn't notice.
As Syaoran and Fang-Fei reached the three girls, a guy with grayish hair and glasses came up to them. "Good morning!" he said as he waved to them. "Morning Yukito!" Meiling said as she gave him a hug. The guy, whose name was Yukito, was like an older brother to Meiling and Syaoran, not to mention, Yukito was also Syaoran's guardian's false form "Morning." Syaoran said, giving a small smile. "Good morning Tsukishiro." Tomoyo said, smiling her absolutely sweet smile.
Sakura felt happy just looking at the guy. 'He looks really nice.' Sakura thought to herself as she smiled a huge smile. "Morning." Fang-Fei grumbled, not looking at Yukito. "Oh and this is Sakura Kinomoto!" Meiling said as she pointed towards Sakura. Sakura smiled at him. "Hello Sakura. Can I call you Sakura?" Yukito said, bending down to get in level with Sakura. "Y-Yes!" Sakura stuttered and Yukito chuckled. "Alright then Sakura." he said. (A/N: Ok, Sakura will not be in love with Yukito! Alright? Good.)
Touya had seen it, but he hadn't heard or understood it. He saw Meiling hugging Yukito and he felt bad... jealous. 'NO, I am not jealous.' he thought to himself. 'Sure you aren't.' a voice in the back of his head said. Touya shook his head. This was giving him a headache.
"There's a new boy in my class and I befriended him. Nakuru also seems to like him too." Yukito said cheerfully. Meiling gasped, causing everyone but Sakura to look at her. She blushed from embarrassment and shook her head. Fang-Fei giggled and turned back around, earning a glare from Meiling.
'Could it be?' Sakura thought, her eyes widening to the size of plates. "Sakura, is there something wrong?" Yukito asked, noticing her bulging eyes. "No, it's nothing." Sakura said. "Oh, there he is now! Touya! Over here!" Yukito called out to Touya's direction.
'It is.' Sakura thought as she watched her brother run over to them. Meiling blushed a little and looked down to the floor to avoid looking at Touya. 'Meiling, you already like somebody!' she scolded herself. (A/N: That person is a secret...)
"Big brother! You made new friends?" Sakura asked as her brother reached their area. Touya nodded and noticed Meiling. "Hi kid." Touya said, smiling. Meiling looked up and smiled weakly. Touya smiled at her, taking out a lunch box. She noticed that it was the one that she made him. She blushed and looked down again.
'Meiling's acting kinda strange...' Syaoran thought to himself as he watched Meiling, his eyebrows raised. "What?" Meiling asked Syaoran as she noticed him staring at her. "Nothing he said to her and turned back to eat his lunch. "Syaoran! Let me do that for you!" Fang-Fei said as she took the chopsticks from his hand to feed him. Syaoran rolled his eyes and protested. "Fang-Fei! I'm not a baby, I can feed myself!" he said, refusing to take in the food that she had gripped with the chopsticks. "Come on Syaoran!" she said as she made her sad eyes. Syaoran rolled his eyes once more but opened his mouth. No use fighting her more.
Tomoyo giggled, but it was to cover up her sadness. She wished it was her that was feeding him, hanging onto him, taking care of him. Oh how it hurt inside to see the one she loved with all her heart being unhappy and being taken by another person. But as she said that as long as her loved one was happy, she was happy. But... he wasn't happy. That was killing her, little by little.
"Tomoyo?" Meiling's voice broke her from her thoughts. "What's wrong?" Syaoran asked, trying to hide the big concern in his voice. He couldn't hide it from Tomoyo. She almost blushed at the fact that Syaoran worried a lot about her, but she managed to keep it from showing. "It's nothing." Tomoyo said, continuing to eat her food. Syaoran shrugged but Meiling kept staring at her. 'Something's up...' Meiling decided as she stared at Tomoyo's sad eyes.
Touya couldn't help but stare at Meiling. She was really cute in that uniform of hers. A short, white mini skirt, and a black, sailor uniform top with the finishing touches of a sailor, white hat that fit on her head over her odangos perfectly. (A/N: Yeah, I stole the Tomoeda Elementary School uniform ^_^;) Meiling looked at Touya from the corner of her eyes and blushed slightly, noticing that he was staring at her. He immediately started eating, converting his gaze to the ground.
Meanwhile, Sakura was oblivious to all that was going on except Syaoran. She tried to eat her food, but she couldn't stop thinking about Syaoran. 'Stop.' Sakura commanded herself, her eyebrows burrowing in frustration. "Geesh!" she shouted, causing everyone around to stare at her.
"Nothing, nothing." Sakura said, giggling nervously. "Don't worry, the monster always does that." Touya said, smirking. "I'm not a monster!" Sakura shouted at her brother, stepping on his foot. Touya winced in pain and Sakura just said "Hmph." Tomoyo and Meiling giggled while Fang-Fei just smirked in amusement. Syaoran couldn't help but notice how cute Sakura was while doing that. 'Oh, just stop making yourself sound crazy.' Syaoran thought to himself.
The bell soon rang for classes to start. Everyone got up to go back into class. "Tomoyo, Meiling?" Sakura started as she caused Tomoyo and Meiling to look at her. "Weren't you going to introduce me to some new people?" Sakura asked, confused. "Oh yeah! Sorry Sakura! We'll do it tomorrow!" Meiling said, her voice sincerely sorry. "Oh it's alright!" Sakura said and Tomoyo made her apologies. The girls followed Syaoran and Fang-Fei back in.
~*~
School was over and the group was walking back home. "We'll be going over to Syaoran and Meiling's house, ok?" Tomoyo asked Sakura and Sakura nodded and smiled. Syaoran grimaced at the thought. What would Sakura think of him if she found out that he had a stuffed toy looking thing as a magical guardian?
Syaoran and Meiling suddenly stopped and looked around in warning. "What's wrong?" Sakura and Tomoyo asked at the same time. "Magic." Syaoran and Meiling said at the same time. "Huh? Again?" Tomoyo asked as she looked around.
"Really?" Fang-Fei asked and closed her eyes to search for the magic. "I feel it too." Fang-Fei said, opening her eyes. Meiling smirked. "Took you long enough!" Meiling said and Fang-Fei glared at her. "Why you b-" she started but was cut off by Syaoran. "Don't start." Syaoran said, still looking around.
Suddenly, rocks came flying at them. "DUCK!!!" Meiilng shouted as she ducked for cover. Everyone else did as she told. (A/N: I couldn't think of anything else! -_-;) Meiling got up and took out an incantation. "Water, come forth!" she said as she hit it with a sword and water came shooting out of it, blasting the rocks back. Despite her magical lineage, Fang-Fei had no abilities to fight with, leaving her almost as defenseless as non-magic people.
Syaoran took out a small key with a moon at the end and held it out in front of him. A circle appeared beneath him, with a moon in the middle surrounded by fancy marks. "O Key that holds the Power of the Moon. Show your true form before me. I, Syaoran command under convert. Release!" Syaoran yelled out an incantation, making his key grow into a staff. He took out a thing that looked like a card and threw it up into the air. "I call upon the forces of wind to blow the rocks back! Windy!" he shouted and a woman that resembled wind came out, forcing the rocks back onto the ground.
"This looks like one of..." Fang-Fei said but stopped. "What?" Sakura asked. "I don't know." Fang-Fei snapped back at Sakura. "Don't snap at her!" Tomoyo shouted to Fang-Fei. "Hmph." Fang-Fei just simply said and continued watching Syaoran.
"Ok, I'll finish them off!" Syaoran said and took out two other cards. "Form a barrier between from the rocks! Shield!" Syaoran shouted as he threw the card into the air and hit it with his staff. A shield formed around Sakura, Tomoyo, Meiling, and Fang-Fei.
He took the other card and threw it into the air and said another spell. "Destroy all the rocks! Shot!" he shouted and hit the Card making many shots of electricity shooting from the Card, destroying all the rocks. "Yay Syaoran! You did it!" Fang-Fei yelled as she jumped around and hugged Syaoran.
"Who could've done that." Syaoran said, trying to get Fang-Fei off his arm. Sakura was just amazed by all this action. And she had to admit, Syaoran did look manly while fighting it off... 'What are you thinking? You're in 5th grade!' Sakura thought to herself as a voice broke through her thoughts.
"So my little descendant still has the skills..." a dark voice rang through the cool evening. Syaoran slapped his forehead, Meiling blushed and Tomoyo gaped in horror. "No... it can't be..." Tomoyo said softly, her eyes narrowing into an angry glare.

Chapter 5: First Day of School

Touya choked as Feimei hung onto him tightly. "Fine... I know! I'll go see if Syaoran's awake!" Feimei shouted as she let go of Touya and ran to Syaoran's room to torture him.

"Let's walk to school together, k?" Feimei said, smiling at Touya. Touya gulped, got up from thet table, bowed to Yelan, put his plate back, grabbed his schoolbag and ran out the door all in 20 seconds. Feimei blinked, staring at the door and just realized what had happened.
"Good-bye mother!" she shouted as she did everything and ran out the door. Yelan shook her head smiling. "Kids..." she said under her breath and got out of her seat.

"Sakura, do you know what homeroom your in?" Tomoyo asked Sakura as they were walking to school. "I think it was somebody named Mr. Terada..." Sakura said, her eyes focusing to remember the name. "That's wonderful! You're in my class along with Syaoran and Meiling!" Tomoyo said, clasping her hands together. "That's great!" Sakura said smiling.
"Oh and..." Tomoyo began frowning. "What?" Sakura asked in confusion, not liking Tomoyo's expression a bit. "You remember Fang-Fei Iowa, right? Well, she's in our class as well." Tomoyo said, making Sakura sweatdrop. "HOEE!!!" Sakura yelled. She did not want to be in a classroom with somebody who absolutely loathes her. Including the fact that she'll be stuck in that classroom for the whole year until summer. (A/N: Yes, I know Hong Kong probably has different school and vacation times, but I don't know them, so I'm just going to follow the American standards.)

Sakura smiled in relief and spotted the school. "Here we are!" Tomoyo announced to Sakura. "Hoe! It seems bigger than when I first saw it!" Sakura exclaimed, gaping at the school yet again. Tomoyo gave a little giggle. "Shall we go in?" Tomoyo asked.
"Mmhm." Sakura answered smiling and the two girls entered the school. They went up several flights of stairs and stopped in front of a door leading to their classroom. Tomoyo slid the door open and the two walked in to find that Syaoran, Meiling and Fang-Fei were already there and Fang-Fei was annoying Syaoran like nuts.
"Good morning!" Tomoyo and Sakura said cheerfully as they made their way to them. "Good morning!" Meiling responded cheerfully. Fang-Fei didn't reply due to the fact that she didn't like Sakura and Syaoran didn't reply due to the fact that he was being strangled to death.
Everyone sweatdropped. "Fang-Fei please let go of me!" Syaoran gasped through her tight hold. "Syaoran! If we're going to get married, you have to get used to this!" Fang-Fei whined while everyone sweatdropped more except Tomoyo. She had a bit of jealousy written on her face.
"Good morning Syaoran!" Tomoyo said to him. "Morning Tomoyo." he responded, trying to get Fang-Fei off his neck. "Good morning class." a man with reddish-brown hair and a deep voice whom Sakura assumed was the teacher came in.
"Good morning." the class said in unison. "We have a new student here today, but I can't seem to find her." the teacher said, looking around the room. Everyone looked at the unfamiliar girl with short honey-brown hair.
"Hoe..." Sakura said nervously sweatdropping and Meiling tapped her shoulder. Sakura looked at her. "Go to the front of the room." Meiling explained, pointing to the part of the room where the teacher was standing. "Oops, ok." Sakura said and walked up to the teacher. That earned her a few snickers from the class. Sakura sweatdropped more. 'Hoee...' Sakura thought as she stopped next to the teacher.
"This is Kinomoto Sakura. Please give her a warm welcome and be nice to her." Mr. Terada said. "Yes." the class said in unison again. "Now, Kinomoto. Why don't you sit behind..." he paused and looked around for an empty seat. "Oh, why don't you sit behind Li. Li, raise your hand." Mr. Terada said. (A/N: Do you know what? This is hard. Their speaking in Cantonese since they live in Hong Kong, and I don't know anything about Cantonese. But then again, there are two Li's, Syaoran and Meiling. and how am I supposed to seperate them. In Japanese I could just say "Li-kun" for Syaoran and "Li-san" for Meiling but, this isn't Japanese is it? Sooo, what do I do? Cantonese speakers, please help me!)
Syaoran raised his hand although it wasn't necessary. Sakura walked toward him and sat down in the seat behind his. "Now class, take out your history books and turn to page 258." Mr. Terada ordered walked to Sakura and handed her 4 books: math, history, Chinese, and science. "Thank you!" Sakura said and opened the history book while putting all the other books in her desk.
The class dragged on for an hour and a half and Sakura found herself almost dozing off. 'This is boring. I can't wait for lunch time.' And at that very thought, the bell rang. Sakura heard sighs of relief from all over the class and figured that they mustn't have enjoyed it very much either.
Meiling and Tomoyo ran up to Sakura and grabbed her hand. "Hoe?" Sakura said, confused as usual. "We'll introduce you to some people!" Meiling said excitedly as she made a gesture to Sakura saying let's go. "I'm sure you'll make many new wonderful friends!" Tomoyo exclaimed as she started pulling Sakura along. "H-Hoe..." Sakura said quietly as she sweatdropped. But she did love the idea of getting new friends.
Syaoran watched as Meiling and Tomoyo as they performed the actions that make girls... just girls. Syaoran sighed, shook his head and followed them with Fang-Fei latched onto his arm.
"Hey Li!" a funny sounding voice called out. Syaoran looked towards the direction his name was called. "Hi Yamazaki." Syaoran replied, not smiling as usual and continued following the girls. "Wait Li!" Takashi called out and ran up to him. "Now you've got ag pretty girl now sitting behind you!" he said, making Syaoran turn red a bit.
"HOW DARE YOU SAY THAT!!!" Fang-Fei and Chiharu shouted at the same time and hit Takashi at the same time. "My Syaoran would never be interested in any other girl than me!" Fang-Fei said glaring daggers at Takashi. He gave a nervous smile and looked up into the face of Chiharu, who was giving him the scariest glare he had ever seen. "Don't you dare think that any girl is pretty but me! You hear?!" Chiharu said in a 'I'm-warning-you-mister' voice.
Takashi gave a nervous gulp and slowly nodded. "Good." Chiharu said, her anger going down. Syaoran, red-faced, turned to go out to eat his packed lunch that Fang-Fei insisted on making. "Syaoran, you're not even going to get mad at him?!" Fang-Fei said, a bit confused on Syaoran's strange behavior. "It's a little joke." Syaoran simply answered, starting to accomplish his mission of extinguishing his blush. "Ok." Fang-Fei answered, still confused. 'No, he can't...' Fang-Fei though, looking at Syaoran with fear of eyes, picturing Syaoran together with a certain girl with emerald eyes...
~*~
"Li, Iowa, over here!" Sakura shouted cheerfully, waving her hand wildly from the place where she, Tomoyo and Meiling had gathered. Syaoran blushed as he saw Sakura. 'What's wrong with me?' Syaoran asked himself as he shook his head furiously to get the blush off.
"Syaoran, what's wrong?" Fang-Fei asked as she looked to Syaoran. "Nothing." Syaoran answered, regaining his cold, unemotional voice. Fang-Fei's eyes saddened, noticing the voice change. "Alright then Syaoran." she said a bit sadly but to her relief, Syaoran didn't notice.
As Syaoran and Fang-Fei reached the three girls, a guy with grayish hair and glasses came up to them. "Good morning!" he said as he waved to them. "Morning Yukito!" Meiling said as she gave him a hug. The guy, whose name was Yukito, was like an older brother to Meiling and Syaoran, not to mention, Yukito was also Syaoran's guardian's false form "Morning." Syaoran said, giving a small smile. "Good morning Tsukishiro." Tomoyo said, smiling her absolutely sweet smile.
Sakura felt happy just looking at the guy. 'He looks really nice.' Sakura thought to herself as she smiled a huge smile. "Morning." Fang-Fei grumbled, not looking at Yukito. "Oh and this is Sakura Kinomoto!" Meiling said as she pointed towards Sakura. Sakura smiled at him. "Hello Sakura. Can I call you Sakura?" Yukito said, bending down to get in level with Sakura. "Y-Yes!" Sakura stuttered and Yukito chuckled. "Alright then Sakura." he said. (A/N: Ok, Sakura will not be in love with Yukito! Alright? Good.)
Touya had seen it, but he hadn't heard or understood it. He saw Meiling hugging Yukito and he felt bad... jealous. 'NO, I am not jealous.' he thought to himself. 'Sure you aren't.' a voice in the back of his head said. Touya shook his head. This was giving him a headache.
"There's a new boy in my class and I befriended him. Nakuru also seems to like him too." Yukito said cheerfully. Meiling gasped, causing everyone but Sakura to look at her. She blushed from embarrassment and shook her head. Fang-Fei giggled and turned back around, earning a glare from Meiling.
'Could it be?' Sakura thought, her eyes widening to the size of plates. "Sakura, is there something wrong?" Yukito asked, noticing her bulging eyes. "No, it's nothing." Sakura said. "Oh, there he is now! Touya! Over here!" Yukito called out to Touya's direction.
'It is.' Sakura thought as she watched her brother run over to them. Meiling blushed a little and looked down to the floor to avoid looking at Touya. 'Meiling, you already like somebody!' she scolded herself. (A/N: That person is a secret...)
"Big brother! You made new friends?" Sakura asked as her brother reached their area. Touya nodded and noticed Meiling. "Hi kid." Touya said, smiling. Meiling looked up and smiled weakly. Touya smiled at her, taking out a lunch box. She noticed that it was the one that she made him. She blushed and looked down again.
'Meiling's acting kinda strange...' Syaoran thought to himself as he watched Meiling, his eyebrows raised. "What?" Meiling asked Syaoran as she noticed him staring at her. "Nothing he said to her and turned back to eat his lunch. "Syaoran! Let me do that for you!" Fang-Fei said as she took the chopsticks from his hand to feed him. Syaoran rolled his eyes and protested. "Fang-Fei! I'm not a baby, I can feed myself!" he said, refusing to take in the food that she had gripped with the chopsticks. "Come on Syaoran!" she said as she made her sad eyes. Syaoran rolled his eyes once more but opened his mouth. No use fighting her more.
Tomoyo giggled, but it was to cover up her sadness. She wished it was her that was feeding him, hanging onto him, taking care of him. Oh how it hurt inside to see the one she loved with all her heart being unhappy and being taken by another person. But as she said that as long as her loved one was happy, she was happy. But... he wasn't happy. That was killing her, little by little.
"Tomoyo?" Meiling's voice broke her from her thoughts. "What's wrong?" Syaoran asked, trying to hide the big concern in his voice. He couldn't hide it from Tomoyo. She almost blushed at the fact that Syaoran worried a lot about her, but she managed to keep it from showing. "It's nothing." Tomoyo said, continuing to eat her food. Syaoran shrugged but Meiling kept staring at her. 'Something's up...' Meiling decided as she stared at Tomoyo's sad eyes.
Touya couldn't help but stare at Meiling. She was really cute in that uniform of hers. A short, white mini skirt, and a black, sailor uniform top with the finishing touches of a sailor, white hat that fit on her head over her odangos perfectly. (A/N: Yeah, I stole the Tomoeda Elementary School uniform ^_^;) Meiling looked at Touya from the corner of her eyes and blushed slightly, noticing that he was staring at her. He immediately started eating, converting his gaze to the ground.
Meanwhile, Sakura was oblivious to all that was going on except Syaoran. She tried to eat her food, but she couldn't stop thinking about Syaoran. 'Stop.' Sakura commanded herself, her eyebrows burrowing in frustration. "Geesh!" she shouted, causing everyone around to stare at her.
"Nothing, nothing." Sakura said, giggling nervously. "Don't worry, the monster always does that." Touya said, smirking. "I'm not a monster!" Sakura shouted at her brother, stepping on his foot. Touya winced in pain and Sakura just said "Hmph." Tomoyo and Meiling giggled while Fang-Fei just smirked in amusement. Syaoran couldn't help but notice how cute Sakura was while doing that. 'Oh, just stop making yourself sound crazy.' Syaoran thought to himself.
The bell soon rang for classes to start. Everyone got up to go back into class. "Tomoyo, Meiling?" Sakura started as she caused Tomoyo and Meiling to look at her. "Weren't you going to introduce me to some new people?" Sakura asked, confused. "Oh yeah! Sorry Sakura! We'll do it tomorrow!" Meiling said, her voice sincerely sorry. "Oh it's alright!" Sakura said and Tomoyo made her apologies. The girls followed Syaoran and Fang-Fei back in.
~*~
School was over and the group was walking back home. "We'll be going over to Syaoran and Meiling's house, ok?" Tomoyo asked Sakura and Sakura nodded and smiled. Syaoran grimaced at the thought. What would Sakura think of him if she found out that he had a stuffed toy looking thing as a magical guardian?
Syaoran and Meiling suddenly stopped and looked around in warning. "What's wrong?" Sakura and Tomoyo asked at the same time. "Magic." Syaoran and Meiling said at the same time. "Huh? Again?" Tomoyo asked as she looked around.
"Really?" Fang-Fei asked and closed her eyes to search for the magic. "I feel it too." Fang-Fei said, opening her eyes. Meiling smirked. "Took you long enough!" Meiling said and Fang-Fei glared at her. "Why you b-" she started but was cut off by Syaoran. "Don't start." Syaoran said, still looking around.
Suddenly, rocks came flying at them. "DUCK!!!" Meiilng shouted as she ducked for cover. Everyone else did as she told. (A/N: I couldn't think of anything else! -_-;) Meiling got up and took out an incantation. "Water, come forth!" she said as she hit it with a sword and water came shooting out of it, blasting the rocks back. Despite her magical lineage, Fang-Fei had no abilities to fight with, leaving her almost as defenseless as non-magic people.
Syaoran took out a small key with a moon at the end and held it out in front of him. A circle appeared beneath him, with a moon in the middle surrounded by fancy marks. "O Key that holds the Power of the Moon. Show your true form before me. I, Syaoran command under convert. Release!" Syaoran yelled out an incantation, making his key grow into a staff. He took out a thing that looked like a card and threw it up into the air. "I call upon the forces of wind to blow the rocks back! Windy!" he shouted and a woman that resembled wind came out, forcing the rocks back onto the ground.
"This looks like one of..." Fang-Fei said but stopped. "What?" Sakura asked. "I don't know." Fang-Fei snapped back at Sakura. "Don't snap at her!" Tomoyo shouted to Fang-Fei. "Hmph." Fang-Fei just simply said and continued watching Syaoran.
"Ok, I'll finish them off!" Syaoran said and took out two other cards. "Form a barrier between from the rocks! Shield!" Syaoran shouted as he threw the card into the air and hit it with his staff. A shield formed around Sakura, Tomoyo, Meiling, and Fang-Fei.
He took the other card and threw it into the air and said another spell. "Destroy all the rocks! Shot!" he shouted and hit the Card making many shots of electricity shooting from the Card, destroying all the rocks. "Yay Syaoran! You did it!" Fang-Fei yelled as she jumped around and hugged Syaoran.
"Who could've done that." Syaoran said, trying to get Fang-Fei off his arm. Sakura was just amazed by all this action. And she had to admit, Syaoran did look manly while fighting it off... 'What are you thinking? You're in 5th grade!' Sakura thought to herself as a voice broke through her thoughts.
"So my little descendant still has the skills..." a dark voice rang through the cool evening. Syaoran slapped his forehead, Meiling blushed and Tomoyo gaped in horror. "No... it can't be..." Tomoyo said softly, her eyes narrowing into an angry glare.
