Camp times two
*Chapter 16: Camp two, Day six*
~*~ Flashback ~*~
As for Touya, he had started pinching himself, convinced that everything was all a VERY painful nightmare, and eventually passed out.
~*~ End Flashback ~*~
Sakura was woken by Tomoyo's banshee-like screaming. She literally fell out of bed and grumpily released Create before attempting to comb her hair, which ended up unsuccessful, and stomped towards the stairs. The moment she came into sight, there were shrieks, a scream of "UBAKI!" (I dunno. According to my FY VCDs, what SOUNDS like ubaki means ghost or summin) and a smirking brother snickering, "Presenting the true form of a kaijuu."
Sakura stomped over, snatched the schedule out of Touya's hand, glared and stomped off, accidentally on purpose stomping on both his feet in the process. She could hear a very distinct "ITAI!" as she stomped away.
When she got back to the room, she tossed the schedule in any random direction and buried herself in her pillows, trying desperately to block out the noises, keyword NOISES, of Meiling and Tomoyo celebrating the lack of writing on the schedule except for a few numbers and the words 'COSTUME PARTY' in block.
Tomoyo, in a few minutes, with Create's help, had finished the costumes. There was another few minutes till lunch and Tomoyo decided to use that time to stuff Meiling and Sakura into baby tees, Sakura in pink and Meiling in red, and denim jeans.
Lunch was pretty boring and bored most of them half to death. So, Sakura, out of boredom, challenged Tenji to a fight. Tenji declined, and she started begging. And begging. And begging. And begging. And begging and begging and begging. (She was bored, right? Anyway, at least with Tenji, she won't exactly mind hurting him)
He FINALLY agreed just to get her off his back. But there were conditions. If he lost, he had to give up on trying to steal her powers. If he won, she had to give him her powers with no resistance.
He transported him and Sakura & co. to that pitch black world where he challenged them before. Tomoyo watched eagerly through the lens her accurately aimed V8.
The two got into fighting stances and the fight began. Sakura already knew what she was going to do. She yelled, "Shield! Come to my aid!" as he tried to land a kick on her. He fell backwards, barely hurt. While she released the staff and was about to pick a card out of the hidden pocket, which Tomoyo had once again put in her clothes for the cards, He fired a life force blast at the shield that instantly dispersed into the air (She didn't use the staff. When she doesn't use the staff, the card's powers are half that of when she DOES use the staff), causing her to stagger backwards. He fired another, and another and another and another. Sustaining some injuries, she called Time out to stop time and made use of that few seconds to release the Epic then call back the staff (How on earth do you expect her to fight with this huge thing in the way?). "Fushigi Yuugi! Suzaku ji seishi!" (At least that what I THINK it is. Ji, I mean. It's supposed to mean the seven Celestial Warriors of Suzaku) This made the spectators stare in shock, thinking the same thought, ^ALL seven?!^
Whatever visible signs glowed on her body as she got into another fighting stance and smirked. They faded except for the super-stylised gui (the character on Tamahome's head. Means ghost/demon/etc. Do NOT believe what you hear about it meaning ogre) on her forehead. He aimed another life force blast at her but she countered it with one of her own, using Tamahome's powers (In the later part of the original anime Fushigi Yuugi) (Not the OVA). He tried to come up with something else and summoned a sword. He charged and a sword appeared in Sakura's hand. She blocked and made a sideways sweep to push his sword away. A diamond fan replaced the sword and Tenji charged again.
"Rekka SHINNEN!"
He dropped whatever liquid mass of molten metal that was once his sword and decided to rely on brute force alone. He watched as the fan disappeared and charged again.
Sakura, being dense as she was, didn't predict this and flew backwards, screaming, "Windy, come to my aid!"
A gust of wind caught her and set her down before disappearing. She got into a fighting stance as two signs glowed bright as bright could be. This was another surprise to the not-so-many spectators. They understood why she called upon the powers of all seven, supposedly so that she didn't have to call upon the staff repeatedly, and so far she has been using their powers one by one, but they recognized those signs to be Nuriko's and Tamahome's old sign (Before he got his new powers.and that super-sugoi super-stylised sign).
He aimed a punch at her head, and she caught his fist when he was still at arm's length away. She slowly and agonisingly twisted his fist and pouted cutely as he winced in pain (Am I making her sound too sadistic?). She then flipped him over onto his back before letting go.
He got up, clutching his wrist in pain. They both got into fighting stances and Sakura attacked and punched his ear, twisting her fist. (Like that fight scene in FY where Tamahome punches that fat bastard who made himself the leader of the Mt Reikaku) (??) (I'm not v. sure abt what it is. I only THINK it's Reikaku. My VCDs are with a friend and I'm only getting them back in a week)
Tenji, amazingly, managed to land a punch on her stomach. She retaliated by grabbing his head under her arm (Such that his head faces in front of her) and."NOOGIE!"
She noogied him till he could stand it no more. He tried wriggling out of 'Nuriko's' death-grip (which was close to impossible unless you were Nuriko), hitting back, but she just continued noogieing and smiling sweetly at the cam.
Finally, he screamed, "I GIVE UP! I GIVE UP! YOU WIN! LET GO O' MEEE!!"
Sakura dropped him and smiled as he transported them back. After that, all that happened was Tenji complaining about it to his cronies and Sakura eating and eating like there was no tomorrow.
When they went back, Chiharu was strangling Takashi, who had tried to tell Syaoran one of his lies again, Nakuru and Yukito were making cookies and pouring sugar down their throats with a funnel, or rather NAKURU was pouring sugar down HER throat with a funnel and Yukito just stood by laughing, Touya was chasing Syaoran and screaming, "DIE GAKI DIE!" for no apparent reason, the two sets of triplets were yelling profanities (vulgarities, foul or inappropriate language, language our parents don't what us to use, etc.) at the top of their lungs at each other, Satoshi, Ryu and Fuji were hiding in their room's bathroom from the three girls outside, one who wants another fight, one who doesn't want to stop their debate on whether Bill Gates was too damn filthy rich and one who wants to give one of them an etiquette lesson, before jumping out the window (No, they don't die. You'll know why soon enough), Tomoyo was catching this ALL on film and Sakura, to get some peace and quiet, had climbed up onto the branches of the cherry blossom tree right next to the outer wall of the cabin, right in between the bottom of the second storey window and the top of the first storey window, and was sleeping until she felt the shake of three boys jump onto it.
They muttered, "God almighty. You can still hear them pounding in there. The poor door." as they settled down, Satoshi on the branch directly across from Sakura's and the other two on the ones perpendicular from Sakura's, Fuji on her left and Ryu on her right.
After a while of silence, Fuji asked, "Umm.Sakura, do you have."
Satoshi continued, ".anything to do with."
Ryu finished, ".the Clow Cards?"
Sakura was so shocked she almost fell out of the tree. Two hands shot out, one from each side, and caught hers. She balanced herself and sighed, "How'd you find out?"
Fuji replied, "Six, seven years ago, we felt the auras of the Clow Cards coming from Tomoeda, but we were halfway through our education, so we couldn't come over. Then, one or two years later, we felt them go through some change, the auras, I mean. It's only when we graduated when we could come over to Tomoeda, and our gut instinct told us to sign up for this camp. Then came the Sleep Card Erase Card thing. That white flash was my life force shield."
Ryu continued, "Our great-times-who-knows-how-many-grandfathers were friends with Clow. Clow, obviously, was the strongest. Followed by Fuji's great-times-who-knows-how-many-grandfather, then mine, then Satoshi's. Clow was the only one who didn't get married and.um.propagate. The magic in our blood never thinned as the kids from our families never married people from families with no magic. Somehow, they never fell in love with the wrong people. Of course, some of our ancestors got 'lost' along the way and were forgotten. THEIR descendants could be living under new names, and are thus more difficult to trace, which would be why no one ever bothered. We were orphaned a couple years before we felt the Clow Cards in some earthquake. We were all at a family friend's housewarming, the earthquake hit, our parents died shielding us from some debris. They couldn't use their magic in front of their friends. So, Fuji's paternal grandfather became our official guardian, being the only one related, miraculously, according to some, to all of us. He is, as I said, Fuji's paternal grandfather, Satoshi's maternal grandmother's brother and my maternal grandfather's brother. He trained us, but passed in our junior year (If I'm right, in high school, first it's freshman, sophomore, junior then senior. Please correct me if I'm wrong). Then, we had to go live with the friends whose housewarming our parents died at. We didn't like them very much, considering it was because they didn't reinforce their house like they were supposed to, and were charged for it afterwards, that our parents ALL died. Besides, although they were actually quite good friends to our parents, later we found out that they just liked our parents for their money. They didn't like US much either. They thought it bad luck that someone namely our parents died at their party. They tried to set their three daughters up with us."
Satoshi snorted, "The three stooges. The three despo spoilt bitches who dreamed of nothing but being the most popular girls in school, hooking up with the three most popular guys in school, obviously us, and looking like wayang (Chinese opera) (actors' and actresses' make-up is VERY elaborate) actresses in the TOTALLY wrong colours. Junko was 10 months younger than Mayo and Muyo, who are twins, Mayo older by three minutes."
Fuji laughed, "Remember that time Mayo put on too much of that fakey cheapo tanning lotion thing and used her old make-up?"
Ryu doubled over in laughter, "She looked like crap!"
Satoshi grinned, trying to control his laughter, "Come on, guys. Let's be serious here. Anyway, ojii-san, as he asked us all to call him, not only Fuji that is, had warned us not to go looking for love. Apparently, our so- called destined ones are descendants of those 'lost relatives'."
The other two had just recovered from laughing when Ryu asked, "Hey Sakura, wanna know what happened at graduation?"
Satoshi burst out laughing so hard he lost his balance and found himself hanging by a leg. He flipped himself up, not bothering to stop laughing.
Ryu said, "Those bastards made us take the three stooges, Fuji taking Mayo, Satoshi, Muyo and me, Junko. We fiddled with the prom queen and king results, with magic of course. The MC was about to announce the names and the three stooges got up, waving and smiling and blowing kisses, looking like the shit they were. The MC called for security to get them off the stage and made a weird surprised and shocked face before saying, "Fuji Masuda, Ryu Tajiri and.Satoshi Harada?" God, was THAT funny. We went up and said, "Don't shine the spotlight on us, look at THEM." and pointed at the three stooges. Junko had fainted, Mayo was screaming and throwing a fit with her make-up all running and Muyo went into shock. We were thrown out of the bloody HOUSE!"
The other two roared with laughter as Satoshi added, "Not before they threw our stuff out the window."
And Fuji finished, "AND we pilfered our papers and bank books and whatever they owed us from withdrawing from our accounts. Plus a little extra."
"Define little." Satoshi said, as they burst into laughter again, Sakura included, of course.
Ryu composed himself, "And that's when we came here. We got here the day before the camp and had to stay at some cheap inn. And don't mind them. That 'little extra' was actually to compensate us for everything they promised and for all those idiotic 'dates' with the three stooges, which we had to pay for ourselves. Anyway, besides everything, we still have to try to save as our inheritance, which happens to be a LOT, and is still with that freak family. As far as we know, it hasn't been sold or pawned. Anyway, even if it has, we should have no problem getting it back. So, after this is all cleared up, we have to get ourselves a KILLER lawyer and get our inheritance back. All three of us are legally adults, so they can't argue on the grounds that they're our legal guardians.waitaminute. We sidetracked again, didn't we?"
"Sidetracked is an understatement." Fuji replied, "Tell us about your side of the story, Sakura."
"I, um, think it would be better if the rest were here to tell their sides too."
"One good way." Satoshi looked to his two friends who nodded back.
They closed their eyes for half a second and lifted the spell that hid their auras. Anyone who felt it inside ran out immediately. Touya, Meiling and Tomoyo saw the others run out and followed suit, leaving Chiharu to strangle Takashi (yes, STILL) and Rika & Naoko to chat.
Soon, everyone was seated on a branch of their own (Sakura forced her Onii- chan to sit on one of the bottom branches, as he 'might just break the branch and crush anyone underneath.'), obviously filling up the whole tree, as the three best friends from Tokyo repeated their story. Sakura & Co. then narrated THEIR side of the story, though missing out little details like crushes and exact descriptions of some of Sakura's more ridiculous battle costumes. Syaoran then asked, "What powers do you guys have, anyway?"
"Well," Fuji said, "I don't think anyone's really realized what our fave show is. Anyway, it's Gensomaden Saiyuki."
"Oh my GAWD!! That is SO COOL! That's one of MY faves! Don't you think Gojyo is just so YUMMY?!" Sakura screeched (Yah, don't you?).
Ryu smirked knowingly, "Who doesn't?", thus causing his two friends to sweatdrop.
".And, um, we actually to some extent resemble the various characters. We have to wear power control devices too, as we had to live with people who didn't know we had magic, and weren't as fully trained as we should have been. Satoshi is kinda like Goku, especially the appetite."
"Well, I get hungry!"
".and his power control device is a necklace, a black string with an upside- down-triangle-thingy dragon pendant that is made of a silver so whitish that those bastards wanted to sell it as white gold. Anyway, that is not only his power control device, but it also contains Hakuryu, his little white dragon that can shape shift. His weapon is a staff, red, with gold ends, which can extend infinitely, and he named it Almighty Staff, after Goku's. Ryu 'is' Gojyo, with his ability with cards, which earned us quite a lot of money, really, his power control device is that long (after being tied at the back of his head, the ends dangle to reach his waist) white strip of cloth tied around his forehead (as a headband) and if you look really closely, and if you have magic, you'll see a VERY faint spell written on it. That's why it's so long. The only reason those bastards allowed him to keep it on was that it kept his hair out of his face and they didn't want to pay to get him a haircut. His weapon is like Gojyo's, but with only the crescent moon thingy on one end. I'm 'Hakkai'. Everything's exactly the same, even the piercings," He flipped his hair back, revealing the piercings, and also making Meiling swoon at the same time, "Except that I don't have the dragon, Satoshi does."
(BTW, did I give you a description of Satoshi, Fuji and Ryu? Even if I did, it's not applicable starting now. Satoshi is basically an eighteen-year-old version of Son Goku of Gensomaden Saiyuki [in the manga, he's eighteen, but in the anime, he's fifteen.I think. I seriously don't know which to believe], except for the clothes, [if you don't know what Goku or any other GS character looks like, go look for a pic on the net. You should have a connection if you're reading this], Fuji is a direct replica of Cho Hakkai, except for the garb, as is Satoshi, AND the eye glass thingy, which is rather obvious as he didn't almost gouge his own eye out, as in the anime, or ACTUALLY do it, as in the manga, and Ryu is almost a direct replica of Sha Gojyo except his hair and eyes are dark brown and once again, the clothes)
Across the lane was the defeated Tenji, who also sensed the three new auras. He smirked as a new scheme began to form in his mind.
At dinner, Tenji and his cronies approached Sakura & Co., including Satoshi, Fuji and Ryu. "What do you want?" Meiling snapped, "You already promised to leave Sakura alone."
"Yes, but my friends here didn't. I'm just giving them a little help like they did me."
Sakura sighed, silently chastising herself for not realizing that, "Alright. What do you want?"
"Oh, nothing much. They just want your powers. And they don't mind fighting if they have to."
"Ah, fine."
They returned to that pitch-black world most of them knew all too well.except that the 'they' wasn't complete. Somehow, only Satoshi, Ryu, Fuji, Sakura, Tenji and his three cronies were there.
"Where's everyone else?!" Sakura demanded.
"You didn't think I wouldn't sense three new auras, did you? Let's test how strong they are."
The three best friends looked to each other and nodded gravely. They arranged themselves into a triangle surrounding, to protect, Sakura - Fuji, in front, and Ryu and Satoshi at the back.
Tenji's three cronies (I don't think I gave them names, did I? Well, even if I did, they're not applicable starting now, as was Satoshi, Fuji and Ryu's appearances then. Blondie's Makoto Hanari, brunette's Ryo Enoki & carrot-top's Totoya Wakai) fired life force blasts simultaneously at them, half a sec after beams shot out of Fuji's palms and formed a shield around them, as his piercings glowed, but it jerked backwards as it came into contact with the three blasts. "Damn we're rusty." Fuji cursed under his breath.
A spell glowed (like the thingy on the ring in the Lord of the Ring) on Ryu's headband and his staff appeared. Satoshi's pendant glowed and a small white dragon emerged, as his staff appeared. A beam shot out of Hakuryu's (the dragon, if you dun remember) mouth and shot at the shield, inching it a BIT further.
Unknown to them, Sakura had called out the staff and released a particular card. Suddenly the shield started moving forward. Fuji looked to his left, and there was Sakura. Apparently, she had used the Epic again.
After a while, Fuji gestured at Hakuryu towards Sakura. The tiny white dragon flew above and formed a shield around her. That's when the real fight started. Ryu took on Makoto, Fuji, Ryo, and Satoshi, Totoya.
The advantage shifted from side to side. Sakura and Tenji, keeping to his promise and keeping out of the fight, saw that Ryu, Satoshi and Fuji were obviously stronger, but as Fuji said, they were rusty.
Sakura was obviously bored, sitting there doing nothing, so she called out to Tenji, "Let's make this a LITTLE more interesting. Winner dresses loser up anyway they want to."
Tenji decided to take a gamble and said, "You're on. Loser keeps the outfits for the whole of dinner."
The fight carried on until Makoto, Totoya and Ryo were caught in VERY precarious situations and surrendered.
Hakuryu returned to Satoshi's pendant as their weapons disappeared. Sakura told them about the deal and they discussed it for a while before Sakura released Change (Hehez. Remember from one of the first chappies? That's one of those she created. That's how she knows how to create Epic. She had experience) and suddenly, the four rather unfortunate boys were stuck in rather UNflattering outfits.
Tenji grudgingly transported them to the real world and heads, plus a V8, turned towards them.
Touya's head fell to the table, his shoulders quivering, as Syaoran yelled, "Keep the minis to the girls, man!"
Makoto was stuck in a bright pink leather micro mini and a TINY white tube top and black knee-high platform boots.
Ryo was clad in a scarlet corset and black skin-tight mini shorts.actually, mini is an understatement.and killer heels.
Totoya found himself in neon green fishnet stockings, a black micro mini, a skin-tight neon green crop top and black & green platforms.
Tenji, most unfortunately for him, wore a bright orange floral string bikini top, a matching sarong and orange flip-flops with HUGE bright pink flowers on top.
At this point, even his sister was on the floor clutching her sides, "Hey, bro! Ain't it a TEENSE bit too early for the costume party? It starts at TEN P. M., you know." They ate the rest of their dinner VERY grumpily and the moment they reached their rooms, they changed out of & vaporised the silly outfits and changed into their regular clothes.
Our regular mob (Sakura and Co., for those of you dimwits who haven't figured it out), meanwhile, went back to the cabin, where Tomoyo dashed straight to the not-so-inconspicuous box hidden amongst the sheets of her bunk.
Once again, she went from room to room dressing its occupants up. (BTW, much to the disappointment of a lot of you, I'm sure, I've decided not to type out how they went about asking each other out. Too troublesome. Basically, they're with their 'usual' dates)
(Costumes: Sakura - Dita (Vandread), Tomoyo - Nuriko (FY), Meiling - Yaone (GS), Syaoran - Hibiki (Vandread), Eriol - Chichiri (FY), Takashi - Bart (Vandread), Rika - Lilin (GS), Naoko - Parfet (Vandread), Chiharu - Paiway (Vandread), Satoshi - Goku (GS), Ryu - Gojyo (GS), Fuji - Hakkai (GS), Kara - Soi in dif colours (FY), Xi Long - Suboshi in dif colours (FY), Tara - Yui in dif colours (FY), Xi Ling - Amiboshi in dif colours (FY), Lara - Meia (Vandread), Xi Lang - Rabat (Vandread), Nakuru - Gascogne (Vandread), Touya - Duero (Vandread), Yukito - Hotohori (FY) In case a lot of you dunno what each of these pple look like, I'm supplying pics of the casts of Gensomaden Saiyuki, Vandread and Fushigi Yuugi. Unlike my former promise about the bitmaps, I intend to keep to this one. I couldn't keep that one due to a LOT of problems. For this one, I have pilfered a LOT of pics from various websites, so just review and leave a WORKING e-mail address and I'll e-mail you the pics and give you names as soon as possible.which will probably be the next time a storm comes by my way. For most, a storm means a non-working connection. For me, it's the only time my connection WORKS. C",) [to the owner or creator of this smiley, GOMEN! It was too kawaii!] Hehez) (BTW.GOMEN! I dun have a pic of Rabat. I ran out of characters to dress them up as)
The counsellors were downstairs in the living room first, then the guys, and lastly the girls, with Tomoyo at the lead. The guys offered their arms to their dates as they graciously accepted.
At the party, they found many other costumes, princesses, fairies, and yes, even a walking, talking, eating crocodile.
Everyone dispersed onto the dance floor to dance (DUH). After a few dances, Xi Ling asked Tara if she wanted to go with him to get a drink. She shrugged and said, "Heck, why not?"
They leant against the buffet table, drinking their punch (non-alcoholic of course. Hehez. Sorry. Thinking about my original idea for the block party. Scrapped it in the end, cos I thought it was no fun). Xi Ling finished his first and started, "Tara, you know, um.(Hahaz. I'm not going to go into that. Basically, he says he likes her. She likes him too. Hahahaz. I can't really be bothered to think up this whole thing. Too sian [troublesome in Hokkien.or is it Cantonese? I dunno]. I think I'm too mean. Well, it's probably cos of my lack of time to finish a few more chappies for my creative writing portfolio)
He slipped his arm around her and they just stood there thinking about nothing in particular until Tara started giggling, "Don't you think our siblings would look cute together?"
Xi Ling looked over to their squabbling siblings and started laughing his guts out.
"What?! Maybe if they weren't screaming at each other so much. I mean, we used to be dragged to detention whenever we fought so much that the teachers gave up on EVER making us stop WAY before freshman year was even close to over and look where we are now."
He thought it over for a while and shrugged.
(Hahaz. I'm back. You think I never left? That's where you're wrong. Hahaz. I just bought the whole collection of Harry Potter last Saturday, cos I never really got the chance to read the third and fourth book. So, I decided to take a TEENSY break from fanfic writing - about three days - to read the latest two instalments of the series.and.um.to watch the second movie.hehez)
Tara started trying to drag him back to dance, but he kept refusing, on grounds that he was still worn out. So, she gave up and ran off to try to get her sisters to stop fighting with Xi Long and Xi Lang, and finally did, but not because the four gave in to her, but because they shocked out of their wits. She had accidentally slipped out the WEE fact that she and Xi Ling were now a couple.
They just stood there staring at her before starting to rant, loud but not so clear, thus attracting the attention of everyone there.
Xi Ling stood where he was, shaking his head, as Chidori sidled up to him, "Well, I knew this would happen sometime or other. But you seriously deserve better. C'mon. Dump the whore and take me instead."
A cord snapped and he growled dangerously, not moving, "Don't. Call. Tara. A. Whore."
"Whore, whore, whore."
He raised his hand to slap her, but suddenly, she kissed him.just when Tara had managed to wiggle herself out of the crowd, leaving them to think they were still screaming and looking at her.
She stared, her face full of an array of emotions - confusion, anger, sadness.
She then took off as Xi Ling noticed she was there. He pushed Chidori away so hard she landed on the punch bowl and tried to run after her, but Chidori had ordered her three friends to grab on to him. She shrieked, "Don't you dare! She doesn't deserve you. You leave her be!"
Out of anger, he summoned his sword and had it to her throat in less than a second, glaring. She made a brief wave with her hand and her three underlings let go off her. He gave her another cold hard glare and ran after Tara.
She had run into the forest and it had suddenly started raining all of a sudden.heavily. The forest floor became increasingly muddy and slippery, making it worse. She was already blinded by tears and the rain, but still continued to run. ^Doshite? (That means why, right? I think so. The last time I checked, it did. BTW, I get most of the Jap I use from anime, so if you don't watch enough non-dubbed anime, good luck.what does nande mean, anyhooz? I'm still trying to remember) DOSHITE?! The bastard! He told me he loved me and went ahead to kiss the bitch.^
She couldn't continue as she slipped and fell. The rain was so heavy, no one would have heard her head hit the rock she was now sobbing into, her skirt soaked and spread behind her.
A few minutes later, Xi Ling came running. He stopped and stared at the trembling heap in front of him, then noticed the swirls of red in the puddle beneath it. He walked to her and knelt down. But as his hand touch her shoulder, she swatted it away. He drew back and hesitated before gathering her into his arms. She tried to push away, screaming, "Let go of me! Why don't you go back to your make-out session with that bitch! LET GO OF."
She never got to finish her sentence. (Hahaz. I think by now some might be wondering if I'm lying about my age or something. Hahaz. Some might think twelve-coming-on-thirteen is not mature enough to be writing all this stuff. Hahaz. Tons of grown-ups write stuff for toddlers, so why not vice- versa?) He had his mouth over hers. They parted and he whispered, "It wasn't me. It was her. Please understand."
She burst out in fresh tears, "I know. The guy I fell in love with would never do such a thing to me." She smiled, but just then, fainted in his arms. They had forgotten about the gash on her head and that it was raining worse than either of them had ever seen.
He picked her up and ran back to the camp where the rest of their cabin (basically, Sakura and Co.) was waiting. Kara's eyes widened in horror as she flung off her cloak, ran forward and draped it around Tara.
They went back to the cabin, where Tara's sisters bathed and changed their unconscious sister and put her in Lara's bed (the middle bunk), before going to the other two (girls', of course) rooms to bunk on their friends' couches, leaving their sister in isolation for a doctor to attend to her.
In the middle of the night, unbeknownst to the others, Xi Ling went to the still unconscious Tara, dragged a chair up, and fell asleep, looking at her.
Hiz! Long time no see! That would be because (1) I don't have a working internet connection, and thus cannot upload this on ff.net (2) My bro's com's disk drive is screwy, and thus I cannot transfer it over on a diskette and upload it onto ff.net (3) If you're reading this, it's probably because I'm in school uploading it, just to please my readers even if it's the school holidays. Sighz. I'm so bored now. I can't think of a title for Camp Times Two's sequel. I'm welcoming any ideas through reviews, so R+R!
Disclaimer: Shit. My EOY exam marks SUCK. My daddy's not very pleased with my handwriting.Hehez.You guys should look at my MSN Messenger nickname.Hehez.Good thing he's never read my diary, which I let some of my friends read.He'll die at the sight of my handwriting.which really serves as a security system.so certain people (cou-boys-gh) won't be ABLE to read it.Hehez.CCS and CC don't belong to me.
I know lots of you guys aren't exactly ecstatic about my clothing descriptions, so I'll try to cut down, k? Except for stuff like costume party costumes and stuff.
BTW, I'm kinda running out of stuff to write about, so if anyone has any suggestions, REVIEW!
Camp times two
*Chapter 16: Camp two, Day six*
~*~ Flashback ~*~
As for Touya, he had started pinching himself, convinced that everything was all a VERY painful nightmare, and eventually passed out.
~*~ End Flashback ~*~
Sakura was woken by Tomoyo's banshee-like screaming. She literally fell out of bed and grumpily released Create before attempting to comb her hair, which ended up unsuccessful, and stomped towards the stairs. The moment she came into sight, there were shrieks, a scream of "UBAKI!" (I dunno. According to my FY VCDs, what SOUNDS like ubaki means ghost or summin) and a smirking brother snickering, "Presenting the true form of a kaijuu."
Sakura stomped over, snatched the schedule out of Touya's hand, glared and stomped off, accidentally on purpose stomping on both his feet in the process. She could hear a very distinct "ITAI!" as she stomped away.
When she got back to the room, she tossed the schedule in any random direction and buried herself in her pillows, trying desperately to block out the noises, keyword NOISES, of Meiling and Tomoyo celebrating the lack of writing on the schedule except for a few numbers and the words 'COSTUME PARTY' in block.
Tomoyo, in a few minutes, with Create's help, had finished the costumes. There was another few minutes till lunch and Tomoyo decided to use that time to stuff Meiling and Sakura into baby tees, Sakura in pink and Meiling in red, and denim jeans.
Lunch was pretty boring and bored most of them half to death. So, Sakura, out of boredom, challenged Tenji to a fight. Tenji declined, and she started begging. And begging. And begging. And begging. And begging and begging and begging. (She was bored, right? Anyway, at least with Tenji, she won't exactly mind hurting him)
He FINALLY agreed just to get her off his back. But there were conditions. If he lost, he had to give up on trying to steal her powers. If he won, she had to give him her powers with no resistance.
He transported him and Sakura & co. to that pitch black world where he challenged them before. Tomoyo watched eagerly through the lens her accurately aimed V8.
The two got into fighting stances and the fight began. Sakura already knew what she was going to do. She yelled, "Shield! Come to my aid!" as he tried to land a kick on her. He fell backwards, barely hurt. While she released the staff and was about to pick a card out of the hidden pocket, which Tomoyo had once again put in her clothes for the cards, He fired a life force blast at the shield that instantly dispersed into the air (She didn't use the staff. When she doesn't use the staff, the card's powers are half that of when she DOES use the staff), causing her to stagger backwards. He fired another, and another and another and another. Sustaining some injuries, she called Time out to stop time and made use of that few seconds to release the Epic then call back the staff (How on earth do you expect her to fight with this huge thing in the way?). "Fushigi Yuugi! Suzaku ji seishi!" (At least that what I THINK it is. Ji, I mean. It's supposed to mean the seven Celestial Warriors of Suzaku) This made the spectators stare in shock, thinking the same thought, ^ALL seven?!^
Whatever visible signs glowed on her body as she got into another fighting stance and smirked. They faded except for the super-stylised gui (the character on Tamahome's head. Means ghost/demon/etc. Do NOT believe what you hear about it meaning ogre) on her forehead. He aimed another life force blast at her but she countered it with one of her own, using Tamahome's powers (In the later part of the original anime Fushigi Yuugi) (Not the OVA). He tried to come up with something else and summoned a sword. He charged and a sword appeared in Sakura's hand. She blocked and made a sideways sweep to push his sword away. A diamond fan replaced the sword and Tenji charged again.
"Rekka SHINNEN!"
He dropped whatever liquid mass of molten metal that was once his sword and decided to rely on brute force alone. He watched as the fan disappeared and charged again.
Sakura, being dense as she was, didn't predict this and flew backwards, screaming, "Windy, come to my aid!"
A gust of wind caught her and set her down before disappearing. She got into a fighting stance as two signs glowed bright as bright could be. This was another surprise to the not-so-many spectators. They understood why she called upon the powers of all seven, supposedly so that she didn't have to call upon the staff repeatedly, and so far she has been using their powers one by one, but they recognized those signs to be Nuriko's and Tamahome's old sign (Before he got his new powers.and that super-sugoi super-stylised sign).
He aimed a punch at her head, and she caught his fist when he was still at arm's length away. She slowly and agonisingly twisted his fist and pouted cutely as he winced in pain (Am I making her sound too sadistic?). She then flipped him over onto his back before letting go.
He got up, clutching his wrist in pain. They both got into fighting stances and Sakura attacked and punched his ear, twisting her fist. (Like that fight scene in FY where Tamahome punches that fat bastard who made himself the leader of the Mt Reikaku) (??) (I'm not v. sure abt what it is. I only THINK it's Reikaku. My VCDs are with a friend and I'm only getting them back in a week)
Tenji, amazingly, managed to land a punch on her stomach. She retaliated by grabbing his head under her arm (Such that his head faces in front of her) and."NOOGIE!"
She noogied him till he could stand it no more. He tried wriggling out of 'Nuriko's' death-grip (which was close to impossible unless you were Nuriko), hitting back, but she just continued noogieing and smiling sweetly at the cam.
Finally, he screamed, "I GIVE UP! I GIVE UP! YOU WIN! LET GO O' MEEE!!"
Sakura dropped him and smiled as he transported them back. After that, all that happened was Tenji complaining about it to his cronies and Sakura eating and eating like there was no tomorrow.
When they went back, Chiharu was strangling Takashi, who had tried to tell Syaoran one of his lies again, Nakuru and Yukito were making cookies and pouring sugar down their throats with a funnel, or rather NAKURU was pouring sugar down HER throat with a funnel and Yukito just stood by laughing, Touya was chasing Syaoran and screaming, "DIE GAKI DIE!" for no apparent reason, the two sets of triplets were yelling profanities (vulgarities, foul or inappropriate language, language our parents don't what us to use, etc.) at the top of their lungs at each other, Satoshi, Ryu and Fuji were hiding in their room's bathroom from the three girls outside, one who wants another fight, one who doesn't want to stop their debate on whether Bill Gates was too damn filthy rich and one who wants to give one of them an etiquette lesson, before jumping out the window (No, they don't die. You'll know why soon enough), Tomoyo was catching this ALL on film and Sakura, to get some peace and quiet, had climbed up onto the branches of the cherry blossom tree right next to the outer wall of the cabin, right in between the bottom of the second storey window and the top of the first storey window, and was sleeping until she felt the shake of three boys jump onto it.
They muttered, "God almighty. You can still hear them pounding in there. The poor door." as they settled down, Satoshi on the branch directly across from Sakura's and the other two on the ones perpendicular from Sakura's, Fuji on her left and Ryu on her right.
After a while of silence, Fuji asked, "Umm.Sakura, do you have."
Satoshi continued, ".anything to do with."
Ryu finished, ".the Clow Cards?"
Sakura was so shocked she almost fell out of the tree. Two hands shot out, one from each side, and caught hers. She balanced herself and sighed, "How'd you find out?"
Fuji replied, "Six, seven years ago, we felt the auras of the Clow Cards coming from Tomoeda, but we were halfway through our education, so we couldn't come over. Then, one or two years later, we felt them go through some change, the auras, I mean. It's only when we graduated when we could come over to Tomoeda, and our gut instinct told us to sign up for this camp. Then came the Sleep Card Erase Card thing. That white flash was my life force shield."
Ryu continued, "Our great-times-who-knows-how-many-grandfathers were friends with Clow. Clow, obviously, was the strongest. Followed by Fuji's great-times-who-knows-how-many-grandfather, then mine, then Satoshi's. Clow was the only one who didn't get married and.um.propagate. The magic in our blood never thinned as the kids from our families never married people from families with no magic. Somehow, they never fell in love with the wrong people. Of course, some of our ancestors got 'lost' along the way and were forgotten. THEIR descendants could be living under new names, and are thus more difficult to trace, which would be why no one ever bothered. We were orphaned a couple years before we felt the Clow Cards in some earthquake. We were all at a family friend's housewarming, the earthquake hit, our parents died shielding us from some debris. They couldn't use their magic in front of their friends. So, Fuji's paternal grandfather became our official guardian, being the only one related, miraculously, according to some, to all of us. He is, as I said, Fuji's paternal grandfather, Satoshi's maternal grandmother's brother and my maternal grandfather's brother. He trained us, but passed in our junior year (If I'm right, in high school, first it's freshman, sophomore, junior then senior. Please correct me if I'm wrong). Then, we had to go live with the friends whose housewarming our parents died at. We didn't like them very much, considering it was because they didn't reinforce their house like they were supposed to, and were charged for it afterwards, that our parents ALL died. Besides, although they were actually quite good friends to our parents, later we found out that they just liked our parents for their money. They didn't like US much either. They thought it bad luck that someone namely our parents died at their party. They tried to set their three daughters up with us."
Satoshi snorted, "The three stooges. The three despo spoilt bitches who dreamed of nothing but being the most popular girls in school, hooking up with the three most popular guys in school, obviously us, and looking like wayang (Chinese opera) (actors' and actresses' make-up is VERY elaborate) actresses in the TOTALLY wrong colours. Junko was 10 months younger than Mayo and Muyo, who are twins, Mayo older by three minutes."
Fuji laughed, "Remember that time Mayo put on too much of that fakey cheapo tanning lotion thing and used her old make-up?"
Ryu doubled over in laughter, "She looked like crap!"
Satoshi grinned, trying to control his laughter, "Come on, guys. Let's be serious here. Anyway, ojii-san, as he asked us all to call him, not only Fuji that is, had warned us not to go looking for love. Apparently, our so- called destined ones are descendants of those 'lost relatives'."
The other two had just recovered from laughing when Ryu asked, "Hey Sakura, wanna know what happened at graduation?"
Satoshi burst out laughing so hard he lost his balance and found himself hanging by a leg. He flipped himself up, not bothering to stop laughing.
Ryu said, "Those bastards made us take the three stooges, Fuji taking Mayo, Satoshi, Muyo and me, Junko. We fiddled with the prom queen and king results, with magic of course. The MC was about to announce the names and the three stooges got up, waving and smiling and blowing kisses, looking like the shit they were. The MC called for security to get them off the stage and made a weird surprised and shocked face before saying, "Fuji Masuda, Ryu Tajiri and.Satoshi Harada?" God, was THAT funny. We went up and said, "Don't shine the spotlight on us, look at THEM." and pointed at the three stooges. Junko had fainted, Mayo was screaming and throwing a fit with her make-up all running and Muyo went into shock. We were thrown out of the bloody HOUSE!"
The other two roared with laughter as Satoshi added, "Not before they threw our stuff out the window."
And Fuji finished, "AND we pilfered our papers and bank books and whatever they owed us from withdrawing from our accounts. Plus a little extra."
"Define little." Satoshi said, as they burst into laughter again, Sakura included, of course.
Ryu composed himself, "And that's when we came here. We got here the day before the camp and had to stay at some cheap inn. And don't mind them. That 'little extra' was actually to compensate us for everything they promised and for all those idiotic 'dates' with the three stooges, which we had to pay for ourselves. Anyway, besides everything, we still have to try to save as our inheritance, which happens to be a LOT, and is still with that freak family. As far as we know, it hasn't been sold or pawned. Anyway, even if it has, we should have no problem getting it back. So, after this is all cleared up, we have to get ourselves a KILLER lawyer and get our inheritance back. All three of us are legally adults, so they can't argue on the grounds that they're our legal guardians.waitaminute. We sidetracked again, didn't we?"
"Sidetracked is an understatement." Fuji replied, "Tell us about your side of the story, Sakura."
"I, um, think it would be better if the rest were here to tell their sides too."
"One good way." Satoshi looked to his two friends who nodded back.
They closed their eyes for half a second and lifted the spell that hid their auras. Anyone who felt it inside ran out immediately. Touya, Meiling and Tomoyo saw the others run out and followed suit, leaving Chiharu to strangle Takashi (yes, STILL) and Rika & Naoko to chat.
Soon, everyone was seated on a branch of their own (Sakura forced her Onii- chan to sit on one of the bottom branches, as he 'might just break the branch and crush anyone underneath.'), obviously filling up the whole tree, as the three best friends from Tokyo repeated their story. Sakura & Co. then narrated THEIR side of the story, though missing out little details like crushes and exact descriptions of some of Sakura's more ridiculous battle costumes. Syaoran then asked, "What powers do you guys have, anyway?"
"Well," Fuji said, "I don't think anyone's really realized what our fave show is. Anyway, it's Gensomaden Saiyuki."
"Oh my GAWD!! That is SO COOL! That's one of MY faves! Don't you think Gojyo is just so YUMMY?!" Sakura screeched (Yah, don't you?).
Ryu smirked knowingly, "Who doesn't?", thus causing his two friends to sweatdrop.
".And, um, we actually to some extent resemble the various characters. We have to wear power control devices too, as we had to live with people who didn't know we had magic, and weren't as fully trained as we should have been. Satoshi is kinda like Goku, especially the appetite."
"Well, I get hungry!"
".and his power control device is a necklace, a black string with an upside- down-triangle-thingy dragon pendant that is made of a silver so whitish that those bastards wanted to sell it as white gold. Anyway, that is not only his power control device, but it also contains Hakuryu, his little white dragon that can shape shift. His weapon is a staff, red, with gold ends, which can extend infinitely, and he named it Almighty Staff, after Goku's. Ryu 'is' Gojyo, with his ability with cards, which earned us quite a lot of money, really, his power control device is that long (after being tied at the back of his head, the ends dangle to reach his waist) white strip of cloth tied around his forehead (as a headband) and if you look really closely, and if you have magic, you'll see a VERY faint spell written on it. That's why it's so long. The only reason those bastards allowed him to keep it on was that it kept his hair out of his face and they didn't want to pay to get him a haircut. His weapon is like Gojyo's, but with only the crescent moon thingy on one end. I'm 'Hakkai'. Everything's exactly the same, even the piercings," He flipped his hair back, revealing the piercings, and also making Meiling swoon at the same time, "Except that I don't have the dragon, Satoshi does."
(BTW, did I give you a description of Satoshi, Fuji and Ryu? Even if I did, it's not applicable starting now. Satoshi is basically an eighteen-year-old version of Son Goku of Gensomaden Saiyuki [in the manga, he's eighteen, but in the anime, he's fifteen.I think. I seriously don't know which to believe], except for the clothes, [if you don't know what Goku or any other GS character looks like, go look for a pic on the net. You should have a connection if you're reading this], Fuji is a direct replica of Cho Hakkai, except for the garb, as is Satoshi, AND the eye glass thingy, which is rather obvious as he didn't almost gouge his own eye out, as in the anime, or ACTUALLY do it, as in the manga, and Ryu is almost a direct replica of Sha Gojyo except his hair and eyes are dark brown and once again, the clothes)
Across the lane was the defeated Tenji, who also sensed the three new auras. He smirked as a new scheme began to form in his mind.
At dinner, Tenji and his cronies approached Sakura & Co., including Satoshi, Fuji and Ryu. "What do you want?" Meiling snapped, "You already promised to leave Sakura alone."
"Yes, but my friends here didn't. I'm just giving them a little help like they did me."
Sakura sighed, silently chastising herself for not realizing that, "Alright. What do you want?"
"Oh, nothing much. They just want your powers. And they don't mind fighting if they have to."
"Ah, fine."
They returned to that pitch-black world most of them knew all too well.except that the 'they' wasn't complete. Somehow, only Satoshi, Ryu, Fuji, Sakura, Tenji and his three cronies were there.
"Where's everyone else?!" Sakura demanded.
"You didn't think I wouldn't sense three new auras, did you? Let's test how strong they are."
The three best friends looked to each other and nodded gravely. They arranged themselves into a triangle surrounding, to protect, Sakura - Fuji, in front, and Ryu and Satoshi at the back.
Tenji's three cronies (I don't think I gave them names, did I? Well, even if I did, they're not applicable starting now, as was Satoshi, Fuji and Ryu's appearances then. Blondie's Makoto Hanari, brunette's Ryo Enoki & carrot-top's Totoya Wakai) fired life force blasts simultaneously at them, half a sec after beams shot out of Fuji's palms and formed a shield around them, as his piercings glowed, but it jerked backwards as it came into contact with the three blasts. "Damn we're rusty." Fuji cursed under his breath.
A spell glowed (like the thingy on the ring in the Lord of the Ring) on Ryu's headband and his staff appeared. Satoshi's pendant glowed and a small white dragon emerged, as his staff appeared. A beam shot out of Hakuryu's (the dragon, if you dun remember) mouth and shot at the shield, inching it a BIT further.
Unknown to them, Sakura had called out the staff and released a particular card. Suddenly the shield started moving forward. Fuji looked to his left, and there was Sakura. Apparently, she had used the Epic again.
After a while, Fuji gestured at Hakuryu towards Sakura. The tiny white dragon flew above and formed a shield around her. That's when the real fight started. Ryu took on Makoto, Fuji, Ryo, and Satoshi, Totoya.
The advantage shifted from side to side. Sakura and Tenji, keeping to his promise and keeping out of the fight, saw that Ryu, Satoshi and Fuji were obviously stronger, but as Fuji said, they were rusty.
Sakura was obviously bored, sitting there doing nothing, so she called out to Tenji, "Let's make this a LITTLE more interesting. Winner dresses loser up anyway they want to."
Tenji decided to take a gamble and said, "You're on. Loser keeps the outfits for the whole of dinner."
The fight carried on until Makoto, Totoya and Ryo were caught in VERY precarious situations and surrendered.
Hakuryu returned to Satoshi's pendant as their weapons disappeared. Sakura told them about the deal and they discussed it for a while before Sakura released Change (Hehez. Remember from one of the first chappies? That's one of those she created. That's how she knows how to create Epic. She had experience) and suddenly, the four rather unfortunate boys were stuck in rather UNflattering outfits.
Tenji grudgingly transported them to the real world and heads, plus a V8, turned towards them.
Touya's head fell to the table, his shoulders quivering, as Syaoran yelled, "Keep the minis to the girls, man!"
Makoto was stuck in a bright pink leather micro mini and a TINY white tube top and black knee-high platform boots.
Ryo was clad in a scarlet corset and black skin-tight mini shorts.actually, mini is an understatement.and killer heels.
Totoya found himself in neon green fishnet stockings, a black micro mini, a skin-tight neon green crop top and black & green platforms.
Tenji, most unfortunately for him, wore a bright orange floral string bikini top, a matching sarong and orange flip-flops with HUGE bright pink flowers on top.
At this point, even his sister was on the floor clutching her sides, "Hey, bro! Ain't it a TEENSE bit too early for the costume party? It starts at TEN P. M., you know." They ate the rest of their dinner VERY grumpily and the moment they reached their rooms, they changed out of & vaporised the silly outfits and changed into their regular clothes.
Our regular mob (Sakura and Co., for those of you dimwits who haven't figured it out), meanwhile, went back to the cabin, where Tomoyo dashed straight to the not-so-inconspicuous box hidden amongst the sheets of her bunk.
Once again, she went from room to room dressing its occupants up. (BTW, much to the disappointment of a lot of you, I'm sure, I've decided not to type out how they went about asking each other out. Too troublesome. Basically, they're with their 'usual' dates)
(Costumes: Sakura - Dita (Vandread), Tomoyo - Nuriko (FY), Meiling - Yaone (GS), Syaoran - Hibiki (Vandread), Eriol - Chichiri (FY), Takashi - Bart (Vandread), Rika - Lilin (GS), Naoko - Parfet (Vandread), Chiharu - Paiway (Vandread), Satoshi - Goku (GS), Ryu - Gojyo (GS), Fuji - Hakkai (GS), Kara - Soi in dif colours (FY), Xi Long - Suboshi in dif colours (FY), Tara - Yui in dif colours (FY), Xi Ling - Amiboshi in dif colours (FY), Lara - Meia (Vandread), Xi Lang - Rabat (Vandread), Nakuru - Gascogne (Vandread), Touya - Duero (Vandread), Yukito - Hotohori (FY) In case a lot of you dunno what each of these pple look like, I'm supplying pics of the casts of Gensomaden Saiyuki, Vandread and Fushigi Yuugi. Unlike my former promise about the bitmaps, I intend to keep to this one. I couldn't keep that one due to a LOT of problems. For this one, I have pilfered a LOT of pics from various websites, so just review and leave a WORKING e-mail address and I'll e-mail you the pics and give you names as soon as possible.which will probably be the next time a storm comes by my way. For most, a storm means a non-working connection. For me, it's the only time my connection WORKS. C",) [to the owner or creator of this smiley, GOMEN! It was too kawaii!] Hehez) (BTW.GOMEN! I dun have a pic of Rabat. I ran out of characters to dress them up as)
The counsellors were downstairs in the living room first, then the guys, and lastly the girls, with Tomoyo at the lead. The guys offered their arms to their dates as they graciously accepted.
At the party, they found many other costumes, princesses, fairies, and yes, even a walking, talking, eating crocodile.
Everyone dispersed onto the dance floor to dance (DUH). After a few dances, Xi Ling asked Tara if she wanted to go with him to get a drink. She shrugged and said, "Heck, why not?"
They leant against the buffet table, drinking their punch (non-alcoholic of course. Hehez. Sorry. Thinking about my original idea for the block party. Scrapped it in the end, cos I thought it was no fun). Xi Ling finished his first and started, "Tara, you know, um.(Hahaz. I'm not going to go into that. Basically, he says he likes her. She likes him too. Hahahaz. I can't really be bothered to think up this whole thing. Too sian [troublesome in Hokkien.or is it Cantonese? I dunno]. I think I'm too mean. Well, it's probably cos of my lack of time to finish a few more chappies for my creative writing portfolio)
He slipped his arm around her and they just stood there thinking about nothing in particular until Tara started giggling, "Don't you think our siblings would look cute together?"
Xi Ling looked over to their squabbling siblings and started laughing his guts out.
"What?! Maybe if they weren't screaming at each other so much. I mean, we used to be dragged to detention whenever we fought so much that the teachers gave up on EVER making us stop WAY before freshman year was even close to over and look where we are now."
He thought it over for a while and shrugged.
(Hahaz. I'm back. You think I never left? That's where you're wrong. Hahaz. I just bought the whole collection of Harry Potter last Saturday, cos I never really got the chance to read the third and fourth book. So, I decided to take a TEENSY break from fanfic writing - about three days - to read the latest two instalments of the series.and.um.to watch the second movie.hehez)
Tara started trying to drag him back to dance, but he kept refusing, on grounds that he was still worn out. So, she gave up and ran off to try to get her sisters to stop fighting with Xi Long and Xi Lang, and finally did, but not because the four gave in to her, but because they shocked out of their wits. She had accidentally slipped out the WEE fact that she and Xi Ling were now a couple.
They just stood there staring at her before starting to rant, loud but not so clear, thus attracting the attention of everyone there.
Xi Ling stood where he was, shaking his head, as Chidori sidled up to him, "Well, I knew this would happen sometime or other. But you seriously deserve better. C'mon. Dump the whore and take me instead."
A cord snapped and he growled dangerously, not moving, "Don't. Call. Tara. A. Whore."
"Whore, whore, whore."
He raised his hand to slap her, but suddenly, she kissed him.just when Tara had managed to wiggle herself out of the crowd, leaving them to think they were still screaming and looking at her.
She stared, her face full of an array of emotions - confusion, anger, sadness.
She then took off as Xi Ling noticed she was there. He pushed Chidori away so hard she landed on the punch bowl and tried to run after her, but Chidori had ordered her three friends to grab on to him. She shrieked, "Don't you dare! She doesn't deserve you. You leave her be!"
Out of anger, he summoned his sword and had it to her throat in less than a second, glaring. She made a brief wave with her hand and her three underlings let go off her. He gave her another cold hard glare and ran after Tara.
She had run into the forest and it had suddenly started raining all of a sudden.heavily. The forest floor became increasingly muddy and slippery, making it worse. She was already blinded by tears and the rain, but still continued to run. ^Doshite? (That means why, right? I think so. The last time I checked, it did. BTW, I get most of the Jap I use from anime, so if you don't watch enough non-dubbed anime, good luck.what does nande mean, anyhooz? I'm still trying to remember) DOSHITE?! The bastard! He told me he loved me and went ahead to kiss the bitch.^
She couldn't continue as she slipped and fell. The rain was so heavy, no one would have heard her head hit the rock she was now sobbing into, her skirt soaked and spread behind her.
A few minutes later, Xi Ling came running. He stopped and stared at the trembling heap in front of him, then noticed the swirls of red in the puddle beneath it. He walked to her and knelt down. But as his hand touch her shoulder, she swatted it away. He drew back and hesitated before gathering her into his arms. She tried to push away, screaming, "Let go of me! Why don't you go back to your make-out session with that bitch! LET GO OF."
She never got to finish her sentence. (Hahaz. I think by now some might be wondering if I'm lying about my age or something. Hahaz. Some might think twelve-coming-on-thirteen is not mature enough to be writing all this stuff. Hahaz. Tons of grown-ups write stuff for toddlers, so why not vice- versa?) He had his mouth over hers. They parted and he whispered, "It wasn't me. It was her. Please understand."
She burst out in fresh tears, "I know. The guy I fell in love with would never do such a thing to me." She smiled, but just then, fainted in his arms. They had forgotten about the gash on her head and that it was raining worse than either of them had ever seen.
He picked her up and ran back to the camp where the rest of their cabin (basically, Sakura and Co.) was waiting. Kara's eyes widened in horror as she flung off her cloak, ran forward and draped it around Tara.
They went back to the cabin, where Tara's sisters bathed and changed their unconscious sister and put her in Lara's bed (the middle bunk), before going to the other two (girls', of course) rooms to bunk on their friends' couches, leaving their sister in isolation for a doctor to attend to her.
In the middle of the night, unbeknownst to the others, Xi Ling went to the still unconscious Tara, dragged a chair up, and fell asleep, looking at her.
Hiz! Long time no see! That would be because (1) I don't have a working internet connection, and thus cannot upload this on ff.net (2) My bro's com's disk drive is screwy, and thus I cannot transfer it over on a diskette and upload it onto ff.net (3) If you're reading this, it's probably because I'm in school uploading it, just to please my readers even if it's the school holidays. Sighz. I'm so bored now. I can't think of a title for Camp Times Two's sequel. I'm welcoming any ideas through reviews, so R+R!
