I finally learned to put my files in html... or that, well, now the format won't be so bad. I felt so happy when I did! But, I don't want to make this Author's Note very long, so let's start.

I'm back in class. It's been only a week and I can't get up in the morning, but thinking about it, my mom wakes me up at 7:00, so it is hard. Next week I end school at 4:15 or something. Even this week I had no time to write, even though I was leaving at 1:00 and from March 25th I won't have that much time either, so to the ones who read this fic, expect a new chapter weekly from now on.

And something else: I know you are very mad at me because Syaoran seems to like Michelle and all, and believe me, you'll be even more mad at me in the upcoming chapters. You may want to kill me. But, as I've been saying, it's not what it looks like. Cherry may know what it is, but please DON'T TELL ANYBODY!!

I guess that's it for now. One more thing!!: this chapter may have some... bad language. That's why it's rated PG-13, and the situation the characters are on will be kinda weird. If you feel uncomfortable with it, just tell me and I'll try to reduce it, 'k?

Now on with the chapter.

WAITING FOR AN ANGEL (chapter 6)

Syaoran blinked.

"WHAT?!?!" he yelled, making Kero wince.

"Syaoran, I know it may seem hard to believe, but this is all the information we've got, and all this situation makes me believe that" said Eriol, looking at Syaoran, who stood up and went to look out the window.

"It has been hard enough already to accept that she's gone, so don't come and bullshit me with it" said Syaoran, still looking out the window. "I don't believe that she's still around, anyways. I would have felt her aura or something" he added.

"I haven't felt anything either" said Kero. "Maybe she's hiding it. Or maybe..."

"Or maybe the cards just can live without her around" said Syaoran, with a cold voice. Eriol looked at him again, he wasn't used to hear him talk like that anymore. "I don't wanna hear anymore about it, she's gone and she's not coming back". Syaoran's voice broke with the last sentence, after he said it he walked to his room. Kero and Eriol sighed. A couple of minutes later Meilin and Tomoyo walked in.

"Eriol, we need to talk" said Meilin, and sitted in front of them in the couch. Tomoyo sitted next to Eriol, kissed him on the cheek, but immediately realized that something was wrong, and so did Meilin. "What is wrong with you two?" she asked. Kero told him what had happened earlier with Syaoran. Meilin and Tomoyo looked at each other. This was getting very weird.

"Do you think that there's a chance that maybe...?- you know" whispered Tomoyo. Eriol took off his glasses for a moment.

"At this point I really don't know what to think" he said, looking at her. Tomoyo looked at Meilin and she nodded.

"Eriol, you have always said that even if me and Meilin don't have any magic, we have some sort of sixth sense, right?" asked Tomoyo. Eriol nodded. "You said that we can feel things too, that sometimes other people can't".

"Yeah, I have been thinking that maybe because you were exposed to magic you could have gotten a few things" said Eriol, putting on his glasses. "Why are you telling me this?" he asked.

"Today, when we were walking out of the restaurant, Tomoyo bumped into a girl" said Meilin. "And we both felt something really weird coming from her". Kero got out of the muteness he had been in the past minutes. Since Sakura had died he was usually quiet.

"Was an aura or something? Evil or good?" he asked.

"I don't know. But what I do know is that it wasn't evil. It felt... familiar" said Tomoyo, taking Eriol's hand. He looked at her, and started to wonder a few things.

"How was she?" asked Eriol.

"She had honey brown hair to the middle of her back, and brown eyes" said Meilin. "She was my size... that's pretty much of it" she ended.

"It's weird that you felt something" Eriol finally said, after a few moments of silence. "Because I haven't felt anything, and Syaoran and Kero haven't feel anything either. Could it be that maybe only ordinary people can feel her?" he asked to Kero.

"I don't know. But if they feel it, we should feel it too" he answered.

"Do you think you would recognize her if you saw her again?" asked Eriol to Tomoyo. She nodded. "We could make Syaoran meet her to see if he feels something strange".

They all went to their rooms thinking about the past events. It was really weird that the cards didn't recognize anyone as the new owner, they were as if Sakura was still around, but it was even weirder the fact that Meilin and Tomoyo felt something strange. They used to feel things but not very often, like when Tomoyo assured everyone that Syaoran was back in Tomoeda and no one believed her until they saw him on King Penguin Park, or when Meilin knew where Sakura and Syaoran were the night of Prom and no one could find them. And it was very strange that the girls felt that presence as something familiar., because they didn't knew anyone in that area.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The next day everything seemed normal. They had gotten the news that Natalie was going out of jail that day, even though that for the gang it was obvious that she had killed Sakura, the police didn't had a hard evidence, because the gun was still missing. They thought that it was unfear, but they couldn't do anything about it except to wait.

"Good morning" said Syaoran, walking in the kitchen. Tomoyo, Eriol and Meilin were already up.

"Good morning" replied Eriol, taking a look at Syaoran to see if he was still mad, but he looked fine. "How are you feeling this morning?"

"As usual" was his short answer. "Eriol, I was thinking about what we talked about yesterday". Eriol and everyone else looked at him when he said that, they didn't had the chance to talk to him about it. "I shouldn't have reacted like that, I hope you understand".

"It's fine" said Eriol. "I know, it's hard to believe and I couldn't believe it either, but we have magic, we are into this and as Kero used to say: Expect the unexpected".

"Anything can happen" said Meilin. "We need to talk to you later, Syaoran, you better eat your breakfast or you'll be late". Syaoran nodded and sitted down. They spent a couple of minutes in silence, and everyone jumped of their seats hearing the sound of screeching tires, the loud and long beep of a horn and some yelling. Everyone stood up and went out, since the noise was coming from outside their house.

"Would you watch where you are going, asshole?!?!" they heard a girl's voice yell. Everyone were looking out of their windows or doors, and when Syaoran and the other finally were outside, they saw a black convertible Benz that was going on the opposite side of the traffic in the middle of the street, the back of the car inches apart of a green jeep. Syaoran's mouth dropped open and also Eriol's, but Tomoyo made sure to make him go back to reality.

The reason for it was that Michelle was standing in her jeep that now had the roof top off (I don't know if you can take the top off the jeeps, if they don't, then bear with me, in this fic they do). She was leaning against the front glass, and since it was a sunny day, she was wearing a pair of jeans' shorts, black Converse sneakers and a white tank top. You could see the straps of her green bikini through it and she had her blue shades on her head. She looked absolutely amazing, but now she was extremely mad and when she was mad, you didn't even wanted to get close to her.

"Come on, gorgeous, don't blame everything on me, don't you think you are wrong too?" the guy driving the other car said.

"What the hell are you talking about?!?! You are the one driving against traffic, you dumbass!!!! You almost killed me, dammit!!" yelled Michelle. "Now take your little car and leave , I don't want to crush my jeep on it" she said, before sitting down again.

"Ok, ok, I'm sorry. Can I make it up to you somehow?" the guy asked trying to seduce her, but Michelle just looked at him, it wasn't tempting at all. "We could go out and have a good time".

"Yeah, fucking right. Get out of my sight before I go down and kick your ass all the way around L.A" she said, standing up again. The guy got pissed off and started his car. You could see that girls weren't used to say no to him, and his proud had been hurt because this girl had refused to go out with him and had threatened him at the same time.

"You'll regret that someday, you little brat" he said, and Michelle just smiled at him. When he was leaving, the smile was erased of her face, she took something from the floor of the car and very quickly threw it to the black Benz. It turned out that it was a glass bottle, and it hit on the back leaving a big scratch. The guy stopped and looked at the scratch the bottle had left. "Bitch!!" he yelled at her.

"Thank you!!" she answered, and the people who were watching, that was the entire street, laughed at the guy; Syaoran and the others laughing too.

Michelle sitted down again and was about to leave when she saw that Syaoran was there, and got out of her car to go and say hello. Meilin and Tomoyo noticed who this girl was and looked at each other, the weird feeling was still there. "Hi Li, how are you?" she said.

"I'm fine. And I see you are perfectly fine too" he said, still wondering how this girl could have so many faces.

"Kinda. I swear, I wanted to beat the crap out of that guy" she said. "You are the girl I bumped into yesterday, right?" she asked pointing at Tomoyo, who nodded. Eriol took a better look at her, he knew this was the girl they were talking about, because he could feel something too, but couldn't figure it out.

"Did you knew each other?" asked Meilin.

"Oh, yeah. Michelle, this is my cousin Meilin, my friend Eriol and his girlfriend Tomoyo. Guys this is Michelle, she goes in my class" said Syaoran. They all said hello. Meilin still felt weird about her, but she liked her, she had an attittude that was kinda like her.

"Well, gotta go now, don't wanna be late for class. AGAIN" she said, turning around and going to her car. "Li, I suggest you get a move on, or else you'll be late" she said, Syaoran stayed there with a lost look and when he finally got it he hurried inside, making them laugh. He got out with his backpack when Michelle had already started her jeep. She pressed the horn again. "Come on, I'll take you" she said. He nodded and got on the seat next to her. "Nice to meet you all" she said.

"Likewise" said Eriol. "See you later, Syaoran".

"Bye" he said, before Michelle took off. Eriol turned to look at the girls.

"So, what do you say?" asked Meilin.

"Yeah, there's something weird. But it looks like if she has that presence hidden" answered Eriol. They went back into the house.

"At least we know who she is" said Tomoyo. "And Syaoran knows her too, it will be easy to find out if he feels the same we are feeling".

"I'm still wondering what does this mean" said Eriol. The girls looked at him worried. "And I still don't know if it's something good".

In the car

Another day has going by

I'm thinking about you all the time

But you are out there

And I'm here waiting

Michelle had her shades on again and the music a bit loud, since she loved to sing out loud while she was driving. Syaoran, on the other hand was looking at her thinking of how she could be so different. She could be just a school girl, a nice person to talk to, she could yell at someone in the middle of the street. Right now, she was just enjoying that moment.

"Think I'm weird?" she asked, suddenly.

"Kinda" he answered, smiling. She just laughed.

"I just enjoy life, that's all" she said. And she was right. In that moment she was enjoying the wind against her skin and the loud rock music coming from the radio.

And I wrote this letter in my head

Cause so many things were left unsaid

But now you are gone

And I can't think straight

This could be the one last chance

to make you understand, yeah

"I've been meaning to ask you something since yesterday" Michelle said, when they stopped at a red light. "Why did you tell the guy yesterday that I was your girlfriend?". Syaoran could feel the heat in his face rise, which was odd. When was the last time since he felt embarrased by something?.

"I don't know. I wanted to scare him or something, but you took care of it" he answered. Michelle nodded. "Why the question?"

"Just to know" she answered. "Looks like I've been taking care of a lot of guys lately" she said, and laughed.

"Yeah, you have quite an attittude" he said, smiling. 'Something's definitely wrong with me' he thought when Michelle started to drive again towards the university.

I'd do anything

Just to hold you in my arms

To try and make you laugh

Cause somehow I can't put you in the past

Michelle started to sing really loud, surprising Syaoran. She didn't seem to care what other people thought about her, she lived life to the fullest. He smacked himself mentally, he had almost lost the chance of enjoying life too.

I'd do anything

Just to fall asleep with you

Will you remember me

Cause I know I won't forget you

Together we broke all the rules

Dreaming of dropping out of school

And leave this place

To never come back

Syaoran knew that she was special. Since the moment she had saved him he knew that there was something about her that wasn't normal. He couldn't figure out what it was. But it was something familiar, he could feel like if he knew her from somewhere, and he had erased those thoughts, he had never seen her before. But still... she was a mystery.

He decided to erase those thoughts again. Of course she was a mystery, he didn't knew her; and of course she wasn't normal, she could make everyone around her smile, she was a funny and cheerful person. Suddenly, Syaoran remembered Sakura... she looked so much like Michelle, she had changed his life for the best, she was cheerful too, always with a smile on her face. He got sad all over again, every day he would think that he wasn't going to see her again, and cried and blamed himself at night for not being there with her.

So now, maybe after all this years

If you miss me have no fear

I'll be here

I'll be waiting

This could be the one last chance

To make you understand.

And I just can't let you

Leave me once again, yeah

"I see you're deep in thought" she said. Syaoran went back to reality, he looked at Michelle, and she looked back. "Is something wrong?"

"No, everything's ok" he answered. They were already there, they had arrived early that day, they could see a lot of people. Michelle drove around finding a place to park her car.

I'd do anything

Just to hold you in my arms

To try and make you laugh

Cause somehow I can't put you in the past

I'd do anything

Just to fall asleep with you

Will you remember me

Cause I know I won't forget you

Syaoran had started to get the beat of the song and wanted to hear more, but Michelle had already parked and turned off the car.

"Hey, I was starting to like the song!" he said. Michelle laughed.

"You are such a baby" she said. "Let's go, or we are gonna be late".

"Fine" he said, and got off. Michelle settled the alarm and placed her blue backpack on her shoulder before catching up with Syaoran, unaware of the pair of eyes looking at them. "Natalie comes back today" he said.

"Yeah, so?" she asked, taking off her shades.

"Aren't you scared that she may get mad at you for being around me?" he asked.

"Nah. It'll be way too easy to kick her butt, all she cares about are her nails and her hair" she said, and Syaoran laughed. "It's true. She may have seven puppy dogs following her, but it's like fighting two begginers at kung fu. Besides, I have my army too" she added, making Syaoran laugh more. "What's so funny?"

"You are talking about it like if it was a war" he got out between the laugh. "Which it is, but are you sure you can handle it?"

"Yeah, totally. I mean, I beated a guy two years older than me without even sweating. Of course I can handle a girl two years older than me that doesn't even know how to fight" Michelle said. "By the way, do you know why she wasn't around?" she asked. Syaoran stood quiet. Michelle realized it and kept her mouth shut. They kept walking in silence until someone called.

"Syaoran!". They turned around and saw Fran running towards them. "Syaoran, where have you been all this days? We've been looking all over for you" she said, but stopped seeing that he wasn't alone and that it was a girl. She frowned, it didn't seemed right to her that Syaoran was hanging out with a girl when Sakura had just passed.

"I've been around. You know, I missed a few classes and had to get what I missed" he said. "Fran, this is Michelle, she's from my class. Michelle, Fran, a friend".

"Hey" said Michelle smiling. Fran smiled too, she was very friendly, but still it didn't seemed right.

"Wanna come? The others are this way" Fran said, motioning Syaoran and Michelle to where the others were. They walked meeting under a tree where Madison and Danielle were sitting. "Maddy, Danielle, this is Michelle, she's Syaoran's friend". They said hello and they all sitted down.

"Is it true that Natalie comes back today?" asked Madison. Syaoran nodded.

"Damn!" said Danielle. "I swear, I'm gonna kill her if she comes near to us again" she said.

"I can't believe they let her go!" said Madison. "Why did they let her go?"

"They needed more proofs against her" said Syaoran. Michelle looked lost, and Syaoran knew that she had no idea, and was still struggling with the idea of telling her or not. "I'll go for a drink, ok?" he said, and got up. The girls sighed. Michelle felt a bit uncomfortable, since the three other girls were friends and she was a newcomer.

"So, are you from the area?" asked Madison.

"No, I'm from New York" answered Michelle. "However, I was studying in Detroit before coming here".

"Well, I am from the area" said Danielle. "And Madison and Fran came together from Dallas" she explained.

"Hey, I know this may be not of my bussiness, but... do you know why Natalie wasn't around in the past days?" whispered Michelle, knowing that they knew. The girls looked at each other.

"You are not of the O.B.C., right?" asked Madison. Michelle shook her head no. "That's good, we hate anyone who is close to them".

"Ok, first of all, you have to know that Syaoran arrived this year" said Fran.

"Yeah, he told me, he came from Japan, right?" said Michelle.

"Uh huh, but he didn't came by himself".

Syaoran stayed in the shop for a few minutes. He needed to be alone for a few seconds. He drank his Coke slowly, aware of the girls looking at him and some people who knew about Sakura looking at him too. He didn't mind. He looked out the window and spotted the girls talking. Syaoran had seen how Fran looked at Michelle, and expected that they didn't believe that they were going out or anything. Because he didn't had any romantic interest in Michelle, and she had told him that she wasn't interested in him in that way. They were just friends... right?

While he was looking at them he spotted something at his right. It was the figure of a woman. He recognized it immediately. It was Natalie. All the anger that he thought had been erased started to flow all over again. And then he realized that she was looking at the group of girls that he knew very well. He stayed there, like freezed, watching as Natalie stood up and walked towards them. Then he knew why she was going there. "Shit" he cursed and left the shop going to them

"And now she's free" ended Madison. Michelle's eyes were watering. So that was why Syaoran stopped when he remembered his life in Japan. And the most important... that's why he wanted to throw himself off the day she met him. Michelle wiped the tears that had scaped her eyes.

"Sorry. Usually I'm not that sensitive" she apologized, the girls nodded in understanding. "It's just that now I understand so many things about him that I thought were weird. And I understand why you looked at me like that" she said, addressing to Fran, who looked surprised. "Of course, it's not usual that he's going around with a girl when his girlfriend just passed. But believe me, I have no interest in him in that way, really".

"It's ok. During the time we knew each other we got really close, but it's nothing against you" said Danielle. They had made sure of telling her the story excluding the part of the Clow Cards.

"Well, now Natalie will take it against me anyways. I'm sure she has Li on her sight, even if he knows what she did" said Michelle, a little bit calmer.

"Don't worry, we'll make her regret for showing her sorry ass again, and if she tries to do something to you I'll personally be very glad of kicking her..." started Fran, but stopped when she saw Natalie heading their way. "And speaking of the devil".

"Just chill girls, lay back and enjoy the show" said Michelle smiling, making them laugh.

"Well, well. It doesn't surprise me that you are with this little girls, but what still surprises me is how Syao can go around with a low life like you" said Natalie when she got to them. Michelle smiled and got up, followed by the others.

"It's weird how you can still show up here and have the guts of calling him like that. Don't you have any shame?" asked Michelle.

"I just did what I needed to do to be with him" said Natalie, checking her nails. "And guess what? You never will".

"Well, I have news for you, darling" said Michelle, smiling sweetly. "I already am" she whispered in front of her face. Natalie frowned hearing this and grabbed her by her shoulders, pushing her to the ground. Michelle rolled on her back, got up and kicked Natalie on her back, making her fall and wince in pain. Michelle winked at the girls who laughed.

"You lie! He would never be with you!" yelled Natalie when she could got out something. In that moment they had a big audience, most of them girls cheering Michelle. "He's going to be with me, like it or not, so back off if you don't want to get hurt" she said.

"Hmm, let me think" said Michelle, tilting her head to the side with her point finger on her chin, pretending to think. "Choices, choices. What will I do?" she said. Natalie took this chance and pulled Michelle to the ground by her feet, making her land on her back, but before she could do something her arms were taken by Fran and Madison. Michelle got up and took her hair off her eyes. "Oh, you are so gonna get it for that" she said, but before she could do something she felt that someone pulled her back.

"Syaoran" said Natalie sweetly. "This girl started to attack me, I didn't do anything..."

"Shut up" he said coldly, then he looked down at Michelle, who looked up at him. "Are you ok?"

"Yeah" she answered, getting lost in his intense amber eyes for a moment. "Once I get rid of her I'll be perfectly fine" she said, struggling against the strong grip Syaoran had her in.

"It's ok" he said, making her stop. "Now for you, I want you to stay away from them or I'll be the one dealing with you" he stated coldly at Natalie, who was already in her two feet. Fran went to Michelle and took her away from Syaoran's arms.

"But- but... will you ever forgive me?" she said, pouting. Syaoran rolled his eyes. "I swear she's the one causing trouble, she can't stand that you will prefer me". Hearing this Michelle got mad again and went directly towards her wanting to give her a few punches, but Syaoran holded her from the front and Fran and Danielle took her too.

"Just because you got every other guy on campus doesn't mean you'll have me too" said Syaoran coldly. "I DON'T LIKE YOU. Get that in your mind" he said, before leaving with the girls. Natalie stood there, his words still processing in her brain. 'NO, NO. He loves me, he has to' her mind screamed, even though she knew the truth.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The bell ringed in a beautiful apartment in front of the beach. Natalie got out of her room and walked towards the door. She had taken a nap to rest her tired body, her back still hurt from the hit Michelle had gave her. She had thought a few things to get rid of this girl, but still had to decide one. She opened the door and her mouth dropped open, it started to open and close without control and her face reflected pure horror. The person in front of her smirked.

"You- you" she got out, before the other person got inside her apartment.

"I came here to tell you one thing, and you better listen" said. "Stay away. I haven't made you pay enough for everything. About today, consider it a warning. I can do a lot more than that". Natalie couldn't believe what her eyes were watching.

"Wha- what..." she started, but couldn't finish.

"Well, it was nice passing by. You have a nice apartment" the person said, smiling. "I'll see you tomorrow at college, Natalie" said before closing the door.

Natalie's mouth finally closed. She blinked several times to make sure she wasn't dreaming. Finally she could get something out.

"Wa- wasn't she dead?"
