The Transfer Student
Fujitaka smiled after seeing how peaceful his daughter apeared. I better wake her up
he thought. Slowly he began shaking her as gently as possible.
"Hoe?" the young girl yawned and pushed herself up.
"Sakura? you better wake up or you might be late for your first day of classes"
"Nani?" Sakura rubbed the sleep out of her eyes before glancing over to the alarm
clock. "What time is it?" Her eyes bulged! " eight fifteen?!" quickly she bounded to the
bathroom.
How can this be she pondered. I set my alarm for seven. What happened?
Fumbling, she threw on her school uniform while at the same time, Frantically trying
to comb out the knots in her short auburn hair.
Dashing down the stairs, she suddenly tripped while carelessly skipping the last
flight of stairs. Down she flew, face first.
"Wow your a mess."
Sakura forced herself up and glared at her brother sipping his coffee calmly."I don't
have time to deal with you onii-chan I'm going to be late!" That said she headed out the door,
but not before he got in the last word.
"Too bad it's only seven fifteen." he cackled.
Furious, Sakura stomped back in the houseand slamed the door, sitting down in her
usual chair beside Touya.
"I'm so mad at you, I'm not going to speak to you for the rest of the day." she stared
in horror as her speech seemed not to affect him in any way. He was laughing like there was no
tomorrow. Outraged she brought her foot smash down into Touya's left foot.
"That's what you deserve onii-chan. What you did was just mean!" she ignored his yelps
of obvious pain and took a bite of her pancakes.
"Arigato dad these pancakes are great!"
Fujitaka smiled and handed his daughter a glass of orange juice. "Your welcome Sakura."
Touya frowned. "I didn't touch your alarm clock." he grumbled. "It was that friend of
yours, Tomoyo or other."
Sakura choked on the pancakes currently in her mouth and anxiously grabbed her juice,
taking in as much of the liquid as she could.
"Tomoyo chan?" she managed to cough out.
Touya crossed his arms and nodded. "Yes Tomoyo, some tomodachi. Go give her a piece of
your mind." he pointed to the door, signaling Sakura to leave.
She scowled. "You knew! and you didn't tell me onii-chan."
He shrugged as if it were nothing."You know me, i don't like to meddle in your affairs."
Sakura was shocked with his lying."Don't you ever feel guilty for lying?"
He smirked. "It's not a lie rudolph." reaching for Sakura's pancakes after finishing
his. She slapped it away
"I'm going to find out why you just called me that onii-chan. When I come back my
pancakes better still be here."
Touya waited patiently until he saw his sister out of sight. "Fat chance" he muttered,
finishing off what little pancakes that were left.
I do look like rudolph Sakura thought. The fall must have cut my nose without me even
knowing it she realized. Wearily she slapped on a tiny bandage.
"Much better." she consulted herself while trying to reposition her top. Taking her time
she went back and combed through her hair before tying in her usual two, short pigtails.
"Good all done" she threw on her backpack before skipping down the stairs.
"Hey dad? where are my pancakes? where's Touya?" she felt her temper rising as soon as
she caught him passing the window. "Onii-chan!" she growled and rapidly tied on her helmet,
elbow and knee pads. Throwing on her roller blades she stumbled out the door. "Bye dad see you
later."
"Onii-chan!" she gasped for air as soon as she caught up. "Why don't you ever wait for
me?" she waited for an explanation but all she recieved were snickers.
"What is that on your nose?" he laughed, trying hard not to burst out hysterically.
Sakura tried to look at her nose. "Oh I remember, I put on a bandage." her eyes narrowed
as she frowned. "It was bleeding!"
Touya pressed his lips together in order to not fall into new appeals of laughter. "I'm
sure it was kaijuu." he chuckled lightly, making sure his eyes made no contact with her nose
whatsoever.
Sakura stuck her tongue out at her brother. "OH I forgot I'm not speaking to you."
Touya rolled his eyes at her immatureness(is that a word^.^)"That was what? ten minutes
ago? Wow no wonder your failing academics, your brain can't even go that far without straining
it."
Sakura ignored his comments. Fumed, she put some distance between the two of them. "I
excel in sports." she mumbled quietly. Thankfully he had turned the corner to where his college
was.
"Don't even have the decency to say bye." she whispered shrewdly.
Sakura took off her blades as soon as the highschool building came in view. "Seven
forty-five." she sighed and strode over to the grade ten list hung on the side wall. Curiously
she ran her finger down the list, hoping to find a familiar name.
"Your early"
Sakura turned to face the voice. "Syaoran-kun?"she blushed as he brushed past her and
eyed the list. "I guess I'm in your class."he said.
She didn't reply instead she studied his soft features. That messy chestnut hair and
those attractive amber eyes of his. She shook away her feelings. You had your chance Sakura but
you chose a single life she mentally slapped herself. All because you didn't want to be
heartbroken when he did go back to Hong Kong. You broke his heart and he'll never forgive you.
She broke away from her thoughts. "That's great Syaoran-kun. Did you come alone?"
He shook his head. "Meiling came but I'm not sure where she is."he stopped. "Hey are you
okay?" he watched Sakura stumble to the nearest bench.
"I don't think so I..I.I think I felt.."she massaged her temple."no nothing I'm fine."
she smiled sweetly as soon as Syaoran joined her. There was an uncomfortable silence as Sakura
tried not to make any eye contact.
"WHAT! THIS ISN'T POSSIBLE!"
Sakura's head snapped to the direction where the voice came from. Gratefully she ran up
to the young girl and gave her a hug.
"Umm, Sakura chan I'm happy to see you to but do you have to hug me that tight?"
Sakura loosened her grip."You don't know how uncomfortable it was to be alone with
Syaoran-kun Meilin chan." she thanked her silently before realizing the expression glued on
her face was pure anger.
"Meilin chan? what's wrong?"
Meilin scowled."I'm not in your class!"she cried as if it were now the end of the world.
"Who did this? I need to speak with the board of education." she paced back and forth, muttering
things every now and then.
"Ohayo Sakura chan! how did you like the little prank I pulled."
Sakura glared scornfully at her cheerful friend."What you did was mean Tomoyo chan.
How could you?"
Tomoyo smiled ruefully."Your on time aren't you?"
Sakura sighed, never could she stay mad at her friend. "Yes Thank you Tomoyo chan."
Suddenly something dawned on her. "Shaoran-kun? Is Tomoyo chan in our class?"
"I'm pretty sure I saw her name."he replied. Wondering why she had a sudden change in
mood as soon as Meilin and Tomoyo arrived.
Meilin let out a loud groan when she heard this."Tomoyo chan too! This isn't fair!"
"Eriol-kun is in your class. That's good right?"Sakura reasurred cheerfully which
seemed to cause her to sulk even lower.
"Eriol-kun is no fun. All he does is do his work and pay attention to the sensei."
"No offense but isn't that what your supposed to do at school?"
The four children watched as a small bear like stuffed toy popped out from Sakura's bag.
"KERO CHAN! what are you doing?"
The small bear dismissed his mistresses question."So when's lunch?" his tiny paws began
rubbing together.
"Greedy stuffed toy."
Kero's face darkened as he shot daggers at Syaoran "Hey kid your lucky this is a
public spot or else I'd turn into Kero beros, guardian of the......."
"Yeah yeah yeah we all know already."he quipped, frustrated.
Sakura watched uneasily as the two were getting ready to lunge at each other."Okay. okay
let's break it up." but despite what she had said, none had moved. Exsperated,she wrapped Kero
up in her arms."Come on Kero, I don't want to bring home a pancake after school."
"You won't have too Sakura, because it's that BAKA there who's going to become the
pancake."
Syaoran's mouth twitched slightly but he let it go, not wanting to make Sakura angry.She
nodded gratefully and that was all it took for Syaoran to feel better.
Sakura gently placed Kero into her bag."If I don't hear one peep from you, I'll give you
my lunch okay?"
Kero nodded and after nothing but silence came from Sakura's bag.
"Okay let's get to class, the bell should ring soon."
"Sakura chan, you still like him don't you?"Tomoyo and Sakura kept some distance between
Syaoran, in order for him not to hear their conversation.
Like isn't the word she thought sorrowfully, but instead she shrugged. "I get tingly
feelings when I see him that's all."
"Oh Sakura chan, don't do this to yourself."she paused and glanced over to Syaoron."I'm
sure he feels the same."
Sakura fidgeted with her backpack straps."Don't worry Tomoyo chan. It's better this way,
once Shaoran-kun goes back to hong kong he'll find someone."
"But you made such a great couple. Why'd you end it Sakura chan?"
Sakura didn't answer her friend. She couldn't have, if she were to say anything more
about Syaoran she was sure she would've burst into tears. Sulking she pulled herself into the
classroom.
"Ohayo, welcome to my classroom I'll be your sensei this year"
Tomoyo studied the young man.His hair was a light hazel and his eyes a nice aqua. "It's
nice to meet you sensei."
"The sensei nodded. "Please feel free to sit wherever you like." he gestured kindly to
all the empty tables. "Four to a table please."
Immeadiately Sakura and Syaoran made their way to the farthest table in the back.
"Ummm, you guys? why the back?"
Sakura shrugged. "I don't know, I guess we're just used to it." Casually she took the
spot beside Syaoran. If I can't be with him then I'll just sit with him. She sighed at how sad
that had sounded in her head.But then again he didn't seem to care.
Syaoran played with his pencil and watched the students start to pour in the class.
"Excuse me? Can I sit here?" The sienna haired girl fumbled with her books. Her eyes
were glued on Syaoran.
Sakura noticed this but she let it go. "Sure go ahead." she gestured to the emty seat by
Syaoran. Why didn't Tomoyo chan take that seat?
"Thank you. My name is Saori Mazaki. I'm a transfer student here." her words chosen
carefully as if this were her first time speaking another language.
Tomoyo caught a trace of an accent. "Where did you come from." she asked pleasantly
while taking a minute to take in the young girl's features.
Saori's beautifully sienna straight hair was shoulder length but her eyes were luridly
familiar. They were warm and a kind emerald green. Tomoyo glanced away, hoping that the eerie
feeling would vanish.
"Hong Kong." She repied with a smile. "I'll be moving back soon of course. I'm visiting
someone I guess you could say."
Tomoyo nodded at her mysteriousness. "Well I'm Tomoyo Daidouji." she nudged her friend.
"Oh I'm Sakura Kinomoto."she glanced over to see if Syaoran would introduce himself.
When she realized he had no intention to... "This is Li Syaoran."
Saori let out a sigh of relief. "That's good. I thought I wouldn't make any friends.But
I guess I was wrong."
Sakura felt her spin tingle as she recieved a smile from Saori. Something's wrong about
her she thought suspiciously. No don't say that about your friend, though she does seem a bit
interested in Syaoran. MY Syaoran! Oh suck it up Sakura, you had him and then you left him. Deal
with it.
"Sakura Kinomoto?, Is Sakura Kinomoto here?"
Sakura pushed aside her thoughts. "Uh present!" she reddened once she realized she was
standing and along with everyone staring. Gently she felt a tug on her sleeve. Moaning she slid
down into her chair. "Why does everything always have to happen to me?"
For the rest of her english class, Sakura tried to keep as quiet as she could and finally
it was over.
"I can't believe he gave us homework on the first day of classes." Sakura threw her
books in her locker and checked her schedule.
"I know." Tomoyo agreed. "It's like they have competitions on who can give students the
most homework per day."
Sakura smirked at her friend's imagination. "Tomoyo chan? Where's the gym?"
Tomoyo pointed to the far end of the building. "Down the hall. Why do you have it?"
She nodded, fearfully. "It's so dark though. Where are the lights?" She shivered as she
imagined herself trudging through the corridor." She waved to Tomoyo and cautiously started
making her way down.
"Don't worry kid, you have nothing to fear as long as I'm here."
Sakura jumped. "Who's there?" she whspered hesitating. She stared in horror as she felt
something brush past her. "AAAAAA!" the rest was muffled after a warm furry hand covered her
mouth.
"Hey Sakura! It's me Kero Beros. Remember?" Slowly he took off his hand and allowed
Sakura to regain composure.
"Kero chan? what are you doing? I told you to stay in the bag!" Mad but thankful he never
listened to her she ran the rest of the way to the gym with Kero beside her.
~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~
"Okay! How about some laps!" the gym sensei blew through her whistle, signaling the
first line to get ready.
"On your marks, get set, GO!"
Sakura happily flew off. At least I'm good at something she thought gleefully. She
watched as a young girl pulled beside her.
"Wow your fast Sakura chan."
Sakura quickened her pace. "Saori chan?" she grinned, liking the competition. "So are
you."
Saori's eyes lit up after hearing a compliment. "Wanna race on the last lap?"
Sakura smiled and accepted. "Okay last lap."
Sakura began to power up her speed. It didn't matter to her who won. She enjoyed the
breeze that was blowing past her, savouring it while she could.
She frowned once she caught glimpse of the finish line. slowing her pace she stopped,
wondering who won.
The gym sensei blew her whistle and Sakura covered her ears. "I think my eardrums were
smashed."
"Kinomoto, Mazaki! ever think about joining the track team?"
"Sure." Saori answered with no hesitation, Sakura on the other hand was quite intimidated
by the sensei.
"Good sign ups are in a week." she shrilled in her whistle and called in the boys.
Sakura felt a warm hand rest on her shoulder.
"You didn't try very hard." he mused.
Suddenly she felt her face heat up. "How could you tell?" she asked Syaoran curiously.
He gave her a smile, one that was made specifically for her. "You lost." he replied
bluntly and headed towards the line.
Saori had observed how Syaoran looked at Sakura and the expression on his face was
obvious, It was love.
~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~
"Okay Sakura, where's the grub? I did everything you told me too, well most of
everything. I did pop out of your bag a few times but they were all for good reason I assure
you."
Sakura groaned and handed Kero her lunch.
"Oh boy, oh boy I love japanese food." he fumbled with the chpsticks for awhile, until he
gave up. "Ahhhh who needs these anyways." he chucked them behind him.
"Hey watch it!" Syaoran rubbed the side os his head. "You don't go around throwing
chopsticks at people you know."
Kero stuck his tongue out. "I'm not throwing them at people, I'm throwing them at BAKAS!
Yeah you heard me kid."
Syaoran growled. "You better watch out you stuffed toy." he warned. "When you least
expect it, you'll get it and you won't have Sakura to help you."
Kero stuffed a mouthful of sushi in his mouth. "I'm so scared." he replied. But inside
he was. Slowly he moved closer to his mistress. "But I'm not going to take any chances with that
baka."
"Hey can I sit with you guys?"
Meilin stared at the girl."Uh.. y..y.you look l.l..like..." she pointed to Sakura and
then back at the stranger. "Who are you?!"
The young girl giggled. "I'm Saori Mazaki. friends of Sakura chan, Tomoyo chan and
Syaoran-kun."
Meilin glared at the girl. How dare she use his first name she thought coldly. How does
she think she is. Quickly she looked away, afraid of what she would do to her if she were to
call her cousin that again.
"Go ahead Saori chan." Tomoyo slid closer to Eriol, not that she minded and left a small
gap between her and Sakura.
"Oh thank you. This is the second time you've been so nice to me." she gladly took the
spot and smiled at Eriol who appeared to be staring at her.
"And what's your name?" She asked politely.
" I'm Eriol Hiiragizawa this is Meilin Li." his hand curteaously pointed to Meilin.
"Oh so you and Syaoran must be related."
"Yes we are are." she declared. "And I'm very protective." she added gruffly.
Syaoran shot his cousin a look that seemed to say drop dead. But she just shrugged it
off and took a bite of her sandwich.
"That's a cute stuffed toy you have there Sakura chan. Is he battery powered?"
Sakura stiffened as she snatched Kero into her arms. "Hahaha yeah that's it, battery
powered. I uh got him from christmas from my brother." she glanced at her friend's nervously as
all their heads were hung.
I didn't think it was that bad of a lie Sakura thought. Then again onii-chan would never
get me a stuffed animal. she looked up at Saori, hoping she bought her story.
"Wow he's cute. You must have a very nice brother." she glanced around confusedly as she
saw everyone shake their heads. "Well can I atleast meet him?"
Sakura nodded. "How about afterschool and after we can go and get some ice cream okay?"
"That's great after school then."
everyone nodded except Meilin. Something is wrong with that girl and I'm going to find
out what. Even if that means I can't do my homework.
So not bad right? Sorry if it got a little bad at the end, I was tired and my brain
didn't seem to work so yeah. Anyways as you can see I used magic in this story. Is that bad?
Oh well.... I'll try and get the story up soon for you guys until then sayonara -silent wanderer

The Transfer Student
Fujitaka smiled after seeing how peaceful his daughter apeared. I better wake her up

"Hoe?" the young girl yawned and pushed herself up.
"Sakura? you better wake up or you might be late for your first day of classes"

but not before he got in the last word.
"Too bad it's only seven fifteen." he cackled.
Furious, Sakura stomped back in the houseand slamed the door, sitting down in her
usual chair beside Touya.
"I'm so mad at you, I'm not going to speak to you for the rest of the day." she stared
in horror as her speech seemed not to affect him in any way. He was laughing like there was no

Sakura was shocked with his lying."Don't you ever feel guilty for lying?"
He smirked. "It's not a lie rudolph." reaching for Sakura's pancakes after finishing
his. She slapped it away
"I'm going to find out why you just called me that onii-chan. When I come back my
pancakes better still be here."
Touya waited patiently until he saw his sister out of sight. "Fat chance" he muttered,
finishing off what little pancakes that were left.
I do look like rudolph Sakura thought. The fall must have cut my nose without me even

she smiled sweetly as soon as Syaoran joined her. There was an uncomfortable silence as Sakura
tried not to make any eye contact.
"WHAT! THIS ISN'T POSSIBLE!"
Sakura's head snapped to the direction where the voice came from. Gratefully she ran up
to the young girl and gave her a hug.
"Umm, Sakura chan I'm happy to see you to but do you have to hug me that tight?"
Sakura loosened her grip."You don't know how uncomfortable it was to be alone with
Syaoran-kun Meilin chan." she thanked her silently before realizing the expression glued on
her face was pure anger.
"Meilin chan? what's wrong?"
Meilin scowled."I'm not in your class!"she cried as if it were now the end of the world.
"Who did this? I need to speak with the board of education." she paced back and forth, muttering
things every now and then.
"Ohayo Sakura chan! how did you like the little prank I pulled."
Sakura glared scornfully at her cheerful friend."What you did was mean Tomoyo chan.

"Eriol-kun is no fun. All he does is do his work and pay attention to the sensei."
"No offense but isn't that what your supposed to do at school?"

"KERO CHAN! what are you doing?"
The small bear dismissed his mistresses question."So when's lunch?" his tiny paws began
rubbing together.
"Greedy stuffed toy."
Kero's face darkened as he shot daggers at Syaoran "Hey kid your lucky this is a
public spot or else I'd turn into Kero beros, guardian of the......."
"Yeah yeah yeah we all know already."he quipped, frustrated.
Sakura watched uneasily as the two were getting ready to lunge at each other."Okay. okay

Immeadiately Sakura and Syaoran made their way to the farthest table in the back.
"Ummm, you guys? why the back?"
Sakura shrugged. "I don't know, I guess we're just used to it." Casually she took the

"Excuse me? Can I sit here?" The sienna haired girl fumbled with her books. Her eyes
were glued on Syaoran.
Sakura noticed this but she let it go. "Sure go ahead." she gestured to the emty seat by
Syaoran. Why didn't Tomoyo chan take that seat?
"Thank you. My name is Saori Mazaki. I'm a transfer student here." her words chosen
carefully as if this were her first time speaking another language.
Tomoyo caught a trace of an accent. "Where did you come from." she asked pleasantly
while taking a minute to take in the young girl's features.
Saori's beautifully sienna straight hair was shoulder length but her eyes were luridly
familiar. They were warm and a kind emerald green. Tomoyo glanced away, hoping that the eerie
feeling would vanish.
"Hong Kong." She repied with a smile. "I'll be moving back soon of course. I'm visiting
someone I guess you could say."
Tomoyo nodded at her mysteriousness. "Well I'm Tomoyo Daidouji." she nudged her friend.
"Oh I'm Sakura Kinomoto."she glanced over to see if Syaoran would introduce himself.
When she realized he had no intention to... "This is Li Syaoran."
Saori let out a sigh of relief. "That's good. I thought I wouldn't make any friends.But
I guess I was wrong."
Sakura felt her spin tingle as she recieved a smile from Saori. Something's wrong about
her she thought suspiciously. No don't say that about your friend, though she does seem a bit
interested in Syaoran. MY Syaoran! Oh suck it up Sakura, you had him and then you left him. Deal
with it.
"Sakura Kinomoto?, Is Sakura Kinomoto here?"
Sakura pushed aside her thoughts. "Uh present!" she reddened once she realized she was
standing and along with everyone staring. Gently she felt a tug on her sleeve. Moaning she slid
down into her chair. "Why does everything always have to happen to me?"
For the rest of her english class, Sakura tried to keep as quiet as she could and finally
it was over.
"I can't believe he gave us homework on the first day of classes." Sakura threw her
books in her locker and checked her schedule.
"I know." Tomoyo agreed. "It's like they have competitions on who can give students the
most homework per day."
Sakura smirked at her friend's imagination. "Tomoyo chan? Where's the gym?"
Tomoyo pointed to the far end of the building. "Down the hall. Why do you have it?"
She nodded, fearfully. "It's so dark though. Where are the lights?" She shivered as she
imagined herself trudging through the corridor." She waved to Tomoyo and cautiously started
making her way down.
"Don't worry kid, you have nothing to fear as long as I'm here."
Sakura jumped. "Who's there?" she whspered hesitating. She stared in horror as she felt
something brush past her. "AAAAAA!" the rest was muffled after a warm furry hand covered her
mouth.
"Hey Sakura! It's me Kero Beros. Remember?" Slowly he took off his hand and allowed
Sakura to regain composure.
"Kero chan? what are you doing? I told you to stay in the bag!" Mad but thankful he never
listened to her she ran the rest of the way to the gym with Kero beside her.
~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~
"Okay! How about some laps!" the gym sensei blew through her whistle, signaling the
first line to get ready.
"On your marks, get set, GO!"
Sakura happily flew off. At least I'm good at something she thought gleefully. She
watched as a young girl pulled beside her.
"Wow your fast Sakura chan."
Sakura quickened her pace. "Saori chan?" she grinned, liking the competition. "So are
you."
Saori's eyes lit up after hearing a compliment. "Wanna race on the last lap?"
Sakura smiled and accepted. "Okay last lap."
Sakura began to power up her speed. It didn't matter to her who won. She enjoyed the
breeze that was blowing past her, savouring it while she could.
She frowned once she caught glimpse of the finish line. slowing her pace she stopped,
wondering who won.
The gym sensei blew her whistle and Sakura covered her ears. "I think my eardrums were
smashed."
"Kinomoto, Mazaki! ever think about joining the track team?"
"Sure." Saori answered with no hesitation, Sakura on the other hand was quite intimidated
by the sensei.
"Good sign ups are in a week." she shrilled in her whistle and called in the boys.
Sakura felt a warm hand rest on her shoulder.
"You didn't try very hard." he mused.
Suddenly she felt her face heat up. "How could you tell?" she asked Syaoran curiously.
He gave her a smile, one that was made specifically for her. "You lost." he replied
bluntly and headed towards the line.
Saori had observed how Syaoran looked at Sakura and the expression on his face was
obvious, It was love.
~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~
"Okay Sakura, where's the grub? I did everything you told me too, well most of
everything. I did pop out of your bag a few times but they were all for good reason I assure
you."
Sakura groaned and handed Kero her lunch.
"Oh boy, oh boy I love japanese food." he fumbled with the chpsticks for awhile, until he
gave up. "Ahhhh who needs these anyways." he chucked them behind him.
"Hey watch it!" Syaoran rubbed the side os his head. "You don't go around throwing
chopsticks at people you know."
Kero stuck his tongue out. "I'm not throwing them at people, I'm throwing them at BAKAS!
Yeah you heard me kid."
Syaoran growled. "You better watch out you stuffed toy." he warned. "When you least
expect it, you'll get it and you won't have Sakura to help you."
Kero stuffed a mouthful of sushi in his mouth. "I'm so scared." he replied. But inside
he was. Slowly he moved closer to his mistress. "But I'm not going to take any chances with that
baka."
"Hey can I sit with you guys?"
Meilin stared at the girl."Uh.. y..y.you look l.l..like..." she pointed to Sakura and
then back at the stranger. "Who are you?!"
The young girl giggled. "I'm Saori Mazaki. friends of Sakura chan, Tomoyo chan and
Syaoran-kun."
Meilin glared at the girl. How dare she use his first name she thought coldly. How does
she think she is. Quickly she looked away, afraid of what she would do to her if she were to
call her cousin that again.
"Go ahead Saori chan." Tomoyo slid closer to Eriol, not that she minded and left a small
gap between her and Sakura.
"Oh thank you. This is the second time you've been so nice to me." she gladly took the
spot and smiled at Eriol who appeared to be staring at her.
"And what's your name?" She asked politely.
" I'm Eriol Hiiragizawa this is Meilin Li." his hand curteaously pointed to Meilin.
"Oh so you and Syaoran must be related."
"Yes we are are." she declared. "And I'm very protective." she added gruffly.
Syaoran shot his cousin a look that seemed to say drop dead. But she just shrugged it
off and took a bite of her sandwich.
"That's a cute stuffed toy you have there Sakura chan. Is he battery powered?"
Sakura stiffened as she snatched Kero into her arms. "Hahaha yeah that's it, battery
powered. I uh got him from christmas from my brother." she glanced at her friend's nervously as
all their heads were hung.
I didn't think it was that bad of a lie Sakura thought. Then again onii-chan would never
get me a stuffed animal. she looked up at Saori, hoping she bought her story.
"Wow he's cute. You must have a very nice brother." she glanced around confusedly as she
saw everyone shake their heads. "Well can I atleast meet him?"
Sakura nodded. "How about afterschool and after we can go and get some ice cream okay?"
"That's great after school then."
everyone nodded except Meilin. Something is wrong with that girl and I'm going to find
out what. Even if that means I can't do my homework.
So not bad right? Sorry if it got a little bad at the end, I was tired and my brain
didn't seem to work so yeah. Anyways as you can see I used magic in this story. Is that bad?
Oh well.... I'll try and get the story up soon for you guys until then sayonara -silent wanderer
