This is dedicated to A-chan whose persistence was the driving force behind
this chapter. And I'm terribly sorry about the shortness. I was going to
make it twice as long as this chapter but I ran out of time. So as I
promise, I put up as much as I could by Sunday, so happy? By the way, I'll
certainly add more to it before/over Xmas break. I know it sounds pretty
far away but it's not ^^:;

Chapter 4: Homecoming themes
Ying Fa clasped her hand over her mouth to muffle a soft gasp. She couldn't believe what she saw. For the longest time ever, she was told that Xiao Lang was the all-powerful demigod and that he resembled a young lad or a young wolf cub. But what was this?! A tail?! A tail grown attached to a human body? Ying Fa stared at the ground where Xiao Lang's feet supposed to be. Instead, there was a mist around the Henchman's ankles and within the mist was a tail, a wolf tail dragged behind uselessly.
Then Ying Fa saw something else...
********************
"Tomoeda High School welcomes the homecoming assembly!" the announcer chirped happily as the high school students shoved their way into the auditorium.
Although the whole student body was perked up about the school assembly, a couple figures stood in the shadow unwilling to participate in the shoving.
The raven-haired freshman girl grinned from ear to ear as she chatted with the auburn-haired girl standing right next to her, "Just wait until you see my masterpiece. Oh my gosh, you are going to love the theme!"
"We are," the auburn-haired girl corrected. "But Tomoyo-chan, aren't you worried that the seniors might hunt you down for wrecking their last homecoming?"
Tomoyo shrugged and pat her companion gently on the shoulder, "You worried too much, Sakura-chan. I'm pretty sure that they don't remember me anyhow."
Sakura sighed, "Hopefully that's the case."
Tomoyo smiled, evidently the small conversation did not affect her at all; her ecstatic mood was far from being disturbed. Then as she noticed the crowd around the door thinned, she gestured her friend to follow her, "Come on, we don't want to miss the show, right?"
********************
In front of the tail, two hind legs could be seen barely by human eyes. They seemed to be there but not there. But the question would be, why?
"Stay," suddenly, the demigod stopped and softly gave a command.
Then without knowing why or how, Ying Fa stopped just as her superior wished.
In a distance, footsteps could be heard with long pause in between each one. Ying Fa's animal instinct immediately perched as she focused on the upcoming figure.
********************
As soon as Sakura and Tomoyo found a seat in the freshman section of the auditorium, the light dimmed and a film was played.
~on the screen~
A couple words were typed out: The course of true love never did run smooth...
Then in bold, FRESHMAN appeared on the screen.
A dreamily paradise appeared as a long haired woman whispered, "Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind; And therefore is wing'd Cupid painted blind."
The theme was then revealed in vineyard font, Freshmen are transported to...paradise in "A Midsummer Night's Dream."
~end~
A loud cheer erupted in the freshman section as the upperclassmen shouted at it.
"So what do you think?" Tomoyo whispered.
"Not bad," Sakura replied.
********************
As the figure advanced closer, Ying Fa could identify it as an old woman. The old woman was walking with some difficulties. She supported most of her weight on the cane and walked in small steps. As she lifted up her head, Ying Fa immediately noticed the woman's ruby red eyes. Those eyes were lividly dancing and examining her from head to toe.
Then the demigod spoke, "Meiling, show this girl where to rest for the night."
Meiling nodded and gestured for the emerald-eyed girl to follow her.
********************
Patiently, the students of Tomoeda High School waited for the senior theme to be revealed.
"And last..." a voice spoke on the screen, "for the seniors..."
~on the screen~
A herd of deer was eating grass peacefully until a rumbling came upon them. They looked up wildly to find their predators not far from them. Among them, a small deer cuddled beside his mother.
~end~
"The theme is..."
Drum roll begun as the voice screamed over it, "BAMBI!"
In the auditorium, Sakura laughed with the rest of her class for the ridiculous theme. Then, she slapped her best friend on the back, "Not bad, Tomoyo-chan, not bad..."
********************
"Here's your quarter," Meiling showed the pale pink room to Ying Fa. "You'll find pretty much everything you need here and if you have a question or request, just ring the bell here." Then after she finished her speech, Meiling headed toward to the door.
"Tell me something," Ying Fa called out to Meiling, "why am I still alive?"
**************************************************
I know I have the crappiest description in this chapter, but seriously, I'm thinking about finishing this fic up pretty fast...although fast is probably half an year in my world ^^:; And yes, the Meiling here is the same as Li Meiling, the only reason that I didn't use Tomoyo in Illusione world is that I don't want to confuse anybody ^^;; So, does anyone have any question for me?
