Hello. *Cries ocean because of the last message, then gasps for air* The last ocean hasn't cleared up yet. I'm pretty much close to drowning.
Disclaimer: I do not own! But I do own Sara, Kayne, Mana, Jintaro, Ayane and the Sara or Ayane Cards. And the oceans that are surrounding me.
A New Riddle
Chapter 10!
"Welcome to your first defence against the dark arts lesson. Today, we will learn a simple spell that would shield you from most attack spells." Yelan said once the Gryffindors and the Ravenclaws had settled down. "Now, you need to say Huldoe Sheildum while drawing a circle big enough to go over your head and shoulders with your wand, but be mindful that when finishing the circle, you must bring your wand in front of yourself." Yelan did as she had instructed the students to do and a transparent light pink shield appeared over herself. "Now, everyone stand up and try it." Eriol, naturally, got it on his first shot, along with Sakura, Syaoran, Sara and Hermione. On their second shot, Harry, who managed to get a blue shield surrounding him and Kayne, who managed to get a yellow shield were finished, too Terry Boot, a Ravenclaw also got it on his second time. On Ron's fourth shot, he had a shield around himself and they stood there, waiting for Neville to get his, which took them five minutes. Yelan refused to continue until everyone had been prepared. "No, Mr. Longbottom, that wouldn't have been too helpful in a duel, would it?" Yelan asked.
"No Madam Li."
"Maybe I should pair you up with Eriol so he could help you along?"
"I would appreciate that very much, Madam Li."
"Eriol, would you?" Yelan asked and much to his dislike, Eriol nodded his head. "I'm sorry if this crowds you, but you are the most experienced with fights and shields."
"I didn't use a shield back then. I used the Shield Card." Eriol groaned in Japanese. Sakura laughed a little but when realising the look on Yelan's face, she stopped.
"Yeah, that wasn't very funny, Chibi Clow." Fenren said, appearing out of nowhere with her three other sisters. "You called for us?"
"Yes. I would like to go and see if the Slytherins are doing anything. I know that the Hufflepuffs are currently busy with Hagrid. Gomen nasai, Sakura-chan."
"It's alright."
"Eriol, if you would do the pleasures?" Yelan asked. Eriol got out his shortened staff and drew a circle in the air that led them to the Slytherins.
"Oh, goodie. I always wanted to see how this worked." Fuutie giggled as she stepped through. Everyone watched in awe as the girls walked through it. Eriol started to wave his miniature staff again and the portal began to close.
"Hiiragizawa, if you lose my sisters, my mother will not be very pleased." Syaoran stated. "And besides, Daidouji-san wouldn't be too happy either." Eriol blushed a nice shade, causing Sakura to whisper a 'kawaii' under her breath. He kept the portal wide and then the four girls returned with Madam Hooch.
"The Slytherins were currently taking an extra class anyway. They were supposed to be in care of magical creatures, but Hagrid didn't have enough baby igonlias. Now, you do realise that Draco Malfoy is in Slytherin, don't you?" Madam Hooch asked.
"Yes, it is perfectly fine. Miss Riddle hasn't upset me in anyway yet." Yelan said. "Why don't you go and have some tea? Nakuru is off at the moment and makes some wonderful cups." Eriol's eyes basically jumped from his head.
"I guess she doesn't make any good ones for you, huh?" Sakura laughed quietly. Eriol nodded. Madam Hooch left the room and the Slytherins debated on going through Eriol's portal or not.
"Are you waiting for a written invitation? As much as I hate you, you must come through so we can get this damned session over." Sara snapped. "It's not going to hurt. Or are you all just lacking in courage like some little child?" Malfoy, angered at the thought of being beaten by Sara, walked up to the hole and stepped through. "Now, you are supposed to be like stupid little sheep and follow the dumber one."
"That's enough, Miss Riddle." Yelan said calmly and Sara's insults ceased.
"I like her." Draco laughed.
"Can't I please hurt him?" Sara asked a now surprised Yelan, for Sara had asked it in Japanese, and shook her head gently. Sara turned to Draco and changed back to English. "You're lucky she's the only teacher here I respect." All the Slytherins made their way into the room.
"Now, today, we shall work on how strong these shields are. The Slytherins already know how to do it. I shall choose the best in the grade and we shall have a little fight. Eriol, can you take us to the training grounds?" Yelan asked. Eriol opened up another portal to the training grounds that were still stained with the blood of Syaoran and Sara. Everyone walked through the portal and sat down on the grounds like Yelan told them to, except Sara who stood against a tree. "Now, if I remember correctly from our last session, Blaise Zabini, Draco Malfoy, and Pansy Parkinson were the only three commendable Slytherins, creating the shield on their first go. Please step up, you three." The three stepped up like Yelan had asked, a smug look printed on each other's face. Sakura leaned over to Hermione.
"Is there anything between those two?" she asked in a whisper, considering Draco and Pansy who were looking especially smug. "'Cause that really screws up Meilin's plan."
"Not that we know of." Hermione whispered back.
"Now, I want Eriol Hiiragizawa, Syaoran Li, Sakura Kinomoto, Hermione Granger, Harry Potter and Kayne Host from Gryffindor that did this in under two shots." Draco had a smug look all over his face when Sara's name wasn't mentioned. "I would also like Terry Boot and Mandy Brocklehurst from Ravenclaw, who got it on their second attempt and Sara Riddle who got in her first try." Draco's superior look immediately left his face as Sara lined up next to Kayne. "You twelve will be in a competition against each other. Now, I understand that half of these people specialise in different forms of magic and that magic, Sakura, Eriol and Sara, will not be allowed. I am also warning you, Xiao-Lang." Yelan cautioned them, taking Sara and Sakura completely off guard. They only knew Clow and Ayane's powers. "The only time that the four of you will be able to use those powers is if you fight each other and Eriol, I advise that you do not put them under control again. Now, we shall draw out names from a hat," Yelan said, waving her hand in the air making a pen, piece of paper and a hat appear, "and that will be how we have the course of our tournament." She handed the closest student, who happened to be Hermione, the pen and paper and she wrote her name on the sheet and ripped it off then put it in the hat. She handed the pen and paper to Harry and so on so forth. Once it was done, Yelan called another Ravenclaw, Lisa Turpin, to pull the names out one by one. The first name she pulled out was Eriol.
"Eriol Hiiragizawa," she said and then reached into the hat again, "Hermione Granger." Yelan took the paper from her and put the two together on a tree so people could see it like a table. "Terry Boot and Sakura Kinomoto. Syaoran Li and Kayne Host, Blaise Zabini and Mandy Brocklehurst, Pansy Parkinson and Sara Riddle," a stunned silence came over the students. Sara verses a Slytherin and the only two that hadn't been chosen were Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy, enemies since their first day of school. "And Draco Malfoy and Harry Potter."
"Well, let's get started." Yelan said and drew a large circle all around them with some sort of powder that she sprayed from her wand. "I want everyone sitting beyond this barrier. Once everyone is out of it, no one can enter unless I tell him or her so. Fighters are not to step out of the ring and I don't want to see anything but magic. I trust you all learnt spells and charms for things like this last year." Yelan gave Kayne, who was looking quite worried, a glance. "And for those of you who haven't, you may have to rely on your shield. Can we have Hermione and Eriol up?" Everyone backed away from the ring and Eriol and Hermione stepped up to it, but not before Sara stood next to Kayne.
"You're fighting Syaoran, so you're allowed to use Clow's and Ayane's power." Sara whispered and handed her a Sara Card.
"Are you ready? Duel!" Yelan called out and the two students started.
Hermione at first put up her shield, while Eriol stood dormant, waiting for her attack. She took her shield down, surprised that Eriol hadn't even looked up.
"Eriol! Hermione's the best at Hogwarts for her age!" Ron yelled out with a laugh. "You're in trouble now!" Hermione brought her wand up and attacked him with three purple shots. Eriol lifted his hand and they all flew back at her, knocking her out of the ring. Ron rushed next to her and helped her up. "What was that?" he asked.
"He just caught me off-guard, that's all." Hermione assured him. Eriol chuckled to himself.
"I take it I won, Madam Li?" Eriol asked.
"Yes, Eriol. Please wait for your next match. Hermione, that was very impressive. I have never seen simple shots like that be so powerful in such an early state." Yelan said, congratulating the both. Hermione nodded her head, though still a bit dazed with the fact that she couldn't beat someone that had just started taking classes at the school yesterday. "Terry and Sakura." The two stepped up, replacing Eriol and Hermione. "Are you two ready?" they both nodded. "Duel."
Terry, like Hermione, put his shield up first. Sakura walked up to him and stuck her wand to the shield.
"Burnus!" Sakura yelled and the whole protector turned red. Terry started to sweat as the inside of the shield burned up. Sakura thought about the next thing. "Liquitetor!" Terry watched as he cooled down, yet wondered why the opposition would help him. Sakura tapped her wand against the shield and it smashed into pieces and waved at him before she put her wand back up. "Liquitetor!" she called out again, sending the boy back out of the ring. Everyone clapped as Sakura walked out of the ring, but then realised that she was against Eriol.
"Using the elements, quite interesting, Sakura. That was an excellent performance from the both of you." Yelan said, clapping her hands, too. "And I wouldn't bother too much about fighting against Eriol. You have beaten him before. Now, let's have Kayne and Syaoran."
Syaoran made it up first, for Kayne was still questioning Sara on the card.
"It'll be fine, now go have some fun with it." Sara said, pushing Kayne.
"What is this about?" Yelan asked, eying the two.
"She feels unsure of herself, knowing the power of Syaoran, so I just helped her along."
"Fine. Are you ready? Duel."
Kayne instantly put up her shield and took the card from her pocket slowly, still not sure if she was to use it.
"Shot." Kayne said quietly. The spirit's form came slowly out of the card, scaring half the people. It looked exactly like Sakura's card, except black. The card then started to shoot at Syaoran, who dodged the blast easily, but then took out his pendant and transformed it to his sword.
"What's going on here?" Hermione asked. "They can't do that!"
"They just did." Ron said, his mouth open all the while. He glanced over at Harry, who was practically on his toes, shouting Kayne along.
Syaoran started to deflect Shot's attack by hitting the blasts with his sword.
"The shield, Syaoran!" Eriol yelled out. Syaoran acknowledged by getting his wand back out and drawing the circle around his head and bringing his wand forward. Shot's attacks were prevented until it hit the shield in the same spot three times, shattering it. Syaoran got out one of his elements, lightning, and used it against Kayne, which got her and sent her out of the ring.
"Gin-Kayne! Are you alright?" Sakura asked, and ran over to her. Kayne nodded her head and handed Sara, who had also ran over to her, the Shot Card.
"I lasted longer then I thought I would." She laughed.
"Are you sure you're okay?" Yelan asked but didn't leave her spot to see.
"I'm sure. I've been given a lot more by my brothers." Sakura pulled her up to her feet.
"I know just how you feel." Sakura giggled. "Exactly how you feel."
"Okay, Syaoran wins the match. Blaise and Mandy, you're next." The two girls, who absolutely hate each other, stepped into the ring. There was some commotion from the Ravenclaws, knowing that Mandy was one of the best students in their house. Draco walked over to Pansy.
"This one ought to be interesting." He snickered.
"Blaise is such a better student." Pansy said back. Sara saw the two, who were unfortunately standing near her.
"Win it, Mandy!" Sara yelled. Draco and Pansy snarled at her and started encouraging Blaise.
"Go Blaise!" Draco yelled.
"Show that Ravenclaw why Slytherins are feared!" Pansy called out.
"Redeem the name of Ravenclaw!" Sara shouted.
"Make Slytherin proud!"
"Stand up to her! She can't do anything! She's just a weak Slytherin. Slytherins can't do anything."
"That's funny, Lord Voldemort seemed to do a lot and he was a 'weak Slytherin'." Draco laughed.
"Shut up, Draco. This fight is between me and orphan." His laughter ceased and he stared at Pansy who had just told him to be quite.
"How many times do I have to tell you? My father is still alive. He just can't support me." Sara snapped. "Therefore I am not an orphan."
Meanwhile, the fight between Blaise and Mandy had started ages ago and Mandy just hit Blaise with a very strong blast, sending her out of the ring.
"Sure, Voldemort may have been great, but even he had to go." Sara snickered and enjoyed the look of shock on her two nemesis' faces.
"Congratulations, Mandy. That was an excellent fight. It was just too bad that our next opponents were too busy bickering to watch it." Yelan said to Mandy. "Now you two girls can fight." Sara and Pansy pushed past each other and walked up to the ring. Once they were in place, Yelan started off the fight.
Sara watched as Pansy put up her shield and smiled behind it. (I do mean that Pansy smiled. Sara doesn't smile. Ever.)
"Pansy, Shot could break it. What makes you think that I couldn't?" Sara asked.
"And what's that supposed to mean?" Pansy snapped. Sara smirked and walked right up to the shield. She thrust her wand into the shield as hard as should could. The force created a hole in it and Sara's smirk grew even wider.
"Burnus." She said calmly. The whole inside of Pansy's defence line burned up, with her along in it. She didn't sustain much damage, as Sara didn't put too much effort in it. Basically, only her hairstyle had 'frizzed up' and her pride was hurt as she was made to give up. Sara walked off the stage. "Thanks, Sakura." She said as she passed them and stood underneath the tree that she was standing under before.
"That was an interesting fight." Yelan said, trying to find the right words. "I really thought you would have wanted to go on longer, Sara."
"The sooner I get to fight Sakura, the better." Sakura sweat-dropped.
"It's great to know that I'm at the top of her priority list." Sakura groaned to Syaoran who was standing next to her.
"She's also quite confident that you'll win against me." Eriol chuckled.
"I've done it before."
"But you needed the help of Syaoran."
"I've improved."
"By how much?"
"A lot. Kero and I always train."
"But is the Card Mistress strong enough to beat Clow Reed?" Syaoran asked.
"Of course I am."
"Then is the Card Mistress strong enough to beat the Card Keeper?"
"I'm not sure."
"The next round is Harry verses Draco. I'm sure it has been wanted for a while?" Yelan asked after seeing the smirk on each boy's faces. They both walked over to the ring and stepped inside. One thing that always happened when new fighters walked into the ring that a barrier appeared around it and then disappeared. (If any of you have played Kingdom Hearts on the PS2 then just think of it as what happens in the tournament in the Olympus Coliseum.) It was quite a sight. "Duel!"
Draco got out his wand and first started off with a simple charm to send Harry backwards, yet not far enough to get him out of the ring. Pansy cheered him on with whatever he did. Harry got back up and sent a stronger spell over to Draco, cutting his left shoulder.
"Hey! That wasn't fair!" Pansy shouted up.
"It was too." Sara snapped.
"Draco wasn't ready."
"Would that mean that Harry wasn't when Malfoy got him?"
"Of course not. Draco is skilled and doesn't take cheap shots like that, but I guess you would know everything about things that are cheap and shameful, huh?" Pansy teased.
Sara got a card out of her pocket and snickered. She called upon it and seconds later a small rain cloud formed over Pansy's head and started to rain.
"Enjoy the weather." Sara chuckled.
Meanwhile, Harry and Draco sent blasts and shots at each other until Harry started to laugh and point behind Draco, at Pansy. Draco turned to see Pansy soaked and trying to escape the thunderstorm that followed her everywhere she went.
"What is going on here?" Yelan asked angrily. Pansy stopped and looked at Sara.
"She did it. That psycho orphan did it. Ask her." Pansy sulked.
"One, I am not an orphan! Two, I am not psycho and three, her has a name. My name is Sara, not orphan or anything else." Sara snapped. "And before you even bother to ask, yes I did do this. Get rid of me if you like. This is not how I imagined this school to be."
"Would you please call Cloud off now?"
"I would, but she's in my pocket."
"Call of Rain."
"That's enough Rain. Yelan doesn't like the way that you're treating her students." The card stopped raining and popped her head up from the cloud that she was on.
"But Master Sara, that isn't fun. Can't I keep going?" Rain complained, leaving everyone speechless.
"Rain can talk?" Sakura asked.
"I have taught all my cards to."
"Can't I please continue?" Rain begged.
"You could if I had my wish, but Yelan is the teacher and the one in charge. I'm afraid you can't. Go back to your original form."
"Yes, Master Sara." Rain said and disappeared into her pocket.
Draco lined up Harry and shot at him with a 'Shotuloues', aimed for his stomach. Harry quickly noticed this and put his shield up just in time before he sent Draco one back and knocked him out of the circle, much to the Slytherins distaste. The Gryffindors cheered as Harry joined Sakura, Eriol and Syaoran. He was scheduled to fight against Sara and from what he could tell she really didn't like him.
Sara smirked and closed her eyes as she leant against the tree again.
"Um, Sara?" Kayne asked and watched as Sara opened one eye.
"What?"
"Aren't you disappointed that you're not against Malfoy?"
"No. I never really liked Potter, either."
"Why not?"
"Family business."
"So were your parents Voldemort's followers?"
"Not exactly."
"What did happen to your parents?" Sara opened her other eye.
"Mum died a few weeks after I was born and dad went insane, therefore he couldn't look after me and gave me up to the adoption centre."
"And nobody took you?"
"When I was little I caused a lot of trouble. I would always go off by myself and write stories and poems and when kids came up to me, I'd punch them or something like that. Only recently Ms. Lain decided to send me off to foster parents."
"That's sad."
"Who cares? Not me. This is how I've lived for years and I'm used to it." Sara said but then wished that she could slap herself for telling someone that. "If you tell anyone, I swear, you will be in pain."
"I won't tell a soul, not even write it in my diary."
"You better not." Sara said more angrily this time. (By the way. I'm making it so Sara turns 15 later on in the year. Tomoyo's birthday is tomorrow, too.)
~*~
"What do you think is going on?" Syaoran asked Sakura, Harry and Eriol once they saw Sara get angry at Ginny.
"I don't know." Sakura admitted
"If she keeps getting angry then Harry will be in a lot of trouble when he faces her." Eriol said.
"Then it's too bad that I had to beat Malfoy." Harry whined.
"We won't let things get too out of hand." Sakura assured him.
"But she already hates me."
"Who doesn't she hate?" Eriol chuckled.
"Kayne." Sakura said.
"They were friends when they both lived in Australia." Syaoran pointed out.
"She can have friends?" Harry asked in a poor attempt at a joke.
"That wasn't too nice. I'm sure Kayne wouldn't have liked to hear you say that about her friend." Sakura said, making him blush. "So? Is there anything?"
"No! I mean, I don't think so."
"Kawaii. Harry does like Kayne. And I'm sure Kayne likes Harry."
"Shut up." Harry groaned.
"For the next match, we have Eriol and Sakura." Yelan said. Both the students groaned mentally and walked up to the ring.
"Go Sakura!" Kayne yelled over to her and walked over to Harry so she could have a better view. "You are in a lot of trouble." She whispered.
"I know. Sara hates me." Harry groaned back. "Go Eriol!"
"You do know Sakura will beat him, right?"
"Eriol will win."
"Sakura."
"Eriol."
"You two may use your…extra… powers if you like, but Eriol, I don't want you to show off. I know you enjoy that." Yelan stated firmly. "You can start the fight."
Sakura grabbed a card and her wand and then called upon the card that she had chosen.
"Mirror!" Sakura was then multiplied over and over again and Eriol noticed that each version got a Sakura Card. Every Sakura surrounded him, equalling in ten, and called on their cards. The first in front of Eriol used Arrow, the second to the left used Freeze, then Mist, Fiery, Watery, Windy, Shot, Thunder, Wood and the one next to the first Sakura used Erase.
Everyone watched in wonder as Eriol lifted his hand and every attack stopped.
"Sakura. When you use Mirror like that, you aren't as strong. That is how Clow beat Ayane." Eriol informed her.
"Fine then, I guess I'll just have to defeat you like I did last time." Sakura laughed.
"But you needed Syaoran's powers, along with Keroberos' and Yue's." Eriol mentioned quietly so that the others weren't to hear, especially Hermione. She knew quite a lot, well, as much as anyone else who had read books, on Clow Reed.
All of the Sakuras disappeared and Sakura got all her cards back.
~*~
Tomoyo sat on the green grass, listening to Hagrid as he talked about their session.
'I wonder if mum's going to send me anything to me for my birthday tomorrow.' She thought tiredly.
"Tomoya, I was wonderin' if you'd like ter pet the baby igonlias." Hagrid said, putting a small pink and grey, four-legged creature that looked like a lizard, except with wings and a horn, right in front of her. From the corner of it's mouth, Tomoyo could see three large fangs on both sides.
Tomoyo nearly jumped right back. She hadn't been listening at all. Her thoughts had been on Sakura, Eriol and Syaoran and how much she missed them.
"I'm not to well with creatures with big teeth." Tomoyo said quietly. "I'm sorry."
"That's okay. Anyone else?" Hagrid asked. Naoko put her hand up immediately. "Ah, Naoko. Good ter see a girl take so much interes' in wild creatures like these igonlias." Everyone watched as Naoko patted the horn while humming a soft tune. The little creature closed its eyes and swayed in Hagrid's hand before climbing out of his grasp and sitting on Naoko's lap where she patted it on the back. "She likes ya." Hagrid laughed. Naoko then stopped humming and tickled it on her beautiful cherry wing. The igonlia laughed and turned on her side.
"She's so cute." Meilin laughed.
"Okay, now I hope yer were all listenin' because your professors 'ave given me permission to let yer keep one each fer the week." Hagrid said. "Naoko, yer obviously 'ave Lantara, but everyone else has ter choose their own." He picked up a box filled with tiny igonlias and took them around to each student, which took a long time, considering that each pupil had to hum to one before they could pick it up.
Tomoyo got an orange and grey girl called Chiruri. (A/N: I needed a name, so I chose that of a reviewer and fellow CCS/HP writer. Sorry! ~_~) And Meilin got a little black and grey one called Shinigami. (Another reviewer. Only problem was that it's an ANNONOMOUS review! I hate them 'cause then I can't go and check out your stories. *Jinko puffs and cries an ocean, giving up the mean girl act*)
~*~
Eriol looked up from the last blast that he had received from Fiery and much to his dismay; he was outside of the ring, right by Syaoran's feet. He sat up and looked over to the smiling Sakura.
"I did it again." Sakura said sweetly.
"I told you, Potter." Kayne laughed and ran up to Sakura as soon as Sakura stepped out of the ring. "That was great, though most, well, all, of the students won't be able to talk for a long time now." Sakura looked at them. Hermione was staring in shock, next to Ron who was doing the same, the bunch of Slytherins at the back were staring in awe and hate for being stronger, the Gryffindors were all on the same page as Hermione, the Ravenclaws all couldn't believe it and Harry was the only one who didn't know about the Cards that was actually able to talk.
"That was an excellent fight." Yelan agreed. "Now, we have Mandy and Syaoran, who both put up a good fight in their first round." The two stepped up in the ring and watched as a light shone from the markings and then stopped, signalling that the barrier was up. "Fight."
"Pretrificus Totalus!" Syaoran called straight away.
Neville visibly cringed. He remembered that spell all too well. Just like what happened to him, Mandy's arms fell straight by her legs and she fell. A loud 'boo' came from the Ravenclaws and Yelan pronounced her son as the winner before waving her hand and relieving the young girl of the full body bond. She sat up and shook hands with Syaoran before leaving the ring.
"Harry and Sara." Yelan called out. Sara, who was still leaning against the tree uncrossed her arms and treaded over to the ring. "No cards, Sara."
"Of course. I don't want to kill the guy." Sara said simply.
Harry slowly walked up to the ring, dreading his win against Draco the whole way. Once he stepped in, they waited for Yelan to signal the fight to start before he quickly put up his shield.
"Pansy made the same mistake, Harry!" Sakura called up to him. Sara smirked and quickly broke the shield with her wand. Just as she did, Harry yelled a strong spell.
"Fatality Shot!"
Sara was shot in the stomach with the blast but stood still. "What? You get that from 'Chibi Spells To Kill' or something?"
"Well, it was just something Fred told me." Harry blushed. Sara waved her hand over his head, now that they were standing that close, and he fell asleep.
"He won't be waking up for a while." Sara said, glancing at Yelan, who was looking furious.
"I told you no cards."
"I didn't use any."
"I sensed it. You used Sleep." Sara rolled her eyes and lifted her hand up so it was level to her face. Her hand started to glow and a card took shape.
"You cheated." Hermione snapped, now being able to talk.
"So I did, but Harry fell asleep, so we're both disqualified." Sara said bluntly and walked out of the ring.
"That wasn't too good." Kayne said once Sara had made her way to her tree.
"It was boring anyway."
"Miss Riddle, would you please wake him up?" Yelan asked. Sara rolled her eyes again and got out Sleep again.
"Break your spell." She commanded. Harry slowly woke up and looked around.
"Did I lose?" he asked groggily.
"We are both disqualified."
"Why?"
"I used my 'extra' powers and you fell asleep."
"At least I didn't come out looking like Pansy did." Harry laughed, getting a laugh from everyone else but the Slytherins and Sara who never laughed a laugh that didn't sound cruel or psychotic. Sara helped Harry up, which was a shock to everyone and walked back.
"You are going weak." Kayne laughed.
"I know." Sara groaned, wanting to hit herself on the head. "I guess it's because I haven't been attacked. That always happened back 'home'."
"Due to the fact that both of the opponents were disqualified, we shall go to our next match, which will be the final. Sakura and Syaoran, please come up here."
"Sakura's won." Eriol chuckled to Syaoran as he passed.
"Don't you think I know that?" Syaoran whined.
