-Thoughts-

"Speaking"

Telepathy

Just as Yurina reached the 1st floor, the doorbell rang. She went over and immediately felt an indigo aura. Opening the door, she encountered a smiling Jarin.

"Ohayo Jarin-kun." Yurina greeted on impulse. Whenever Jarin was around, Yurina would talk in Japanese and not German.

"Ohayo Yurina-chan." Jarin replied. "Ready?"

"Hai."

"Shall we then?" The young sorcerer held his arm out, which Yurina took politely. Both went down the steps and to the car that was parked in front of the Tsukis' two-story mansion. In the middle of the driveway was an elegant fountain, water cascading down its three bowls and crashing into the large pool below. To the left of the fountain was a grove of moonflower trees, and to the right a grove of sakura trees.

As Jarin drove out of the circular driveway and through the spiked iron gates, he put his hand up and picked a moonflower hanging off a low branch. Carefully he tucked it behind Yurina's ear, who blushed lightly at the action. She returned him a bright smile in thanks.

The same eyes from above the fireplace watched the pair of best friends leave the estate. "Good..." The voice was back again. "Time to put my plan into action and get what's mine."

"Sooooooo......Where are we going?" Yurina asked as she closed her eyes. She lay her head against the leather interior of the seat, her silky hair combed by the wind.

"We are going to Ché La Viéve. It's a crossover between German, Japanese, and Cantonese (or Vietnamese) restaurant. There's also a bit of Chinese food in there. My whole family went one New Year's Eve for dinner. They're really good, and they present the food to you in an exotic way."

"Okaaaaaaaaay! Yamete!!" Yurina whined. Jarin laughed, knowing that talking about exotic foods in front of Yurina always made her giddy. "Okay, okay, I'll stop." He replied. Then there was silence. A few seconds later, Jarin spoke again. "Demo, honto, the food there is just delicious!" A slap upside his head represented Yurina's reply. "Oi, that hurt you know." Jarin winced as he used his free hand to rub the back of his head. No reply came. Silence again. And then...

"Jarin-kun?" Yurina spoke up this time. She saw him from the corner of her eye looking at *her* from the corner of *his* eye. "I...I..."

"Hai?" Urged Jarin.

"I...Arigatou, arigatou gozaimasou, for doing all of this -- everything you've done for me today. You could've been training with Hiiragizawa-sama or --"

"Spending time with a very beautiful girl." Jarin flicked his finger under Yurina's chin, who blushed slightly at the comment.

"You don't mean that."

"Hai, I do. I mean come on! When we're in school talking, eating lunch together, or sitting next to each other in a class, all the guys glare death at me and have a deep lust for you. Plus they're envious because I'm the lucky guy who gets to be around you 24/7 and visit you." He flashed the grin that Yurina hated oh so much.

"Instead of giving me the Grin of Evil Jr.* and starting to plot your Ingenious Ideas**, you might want to pay attention to the road." Yurina groaned as she eyed a certain restaurant.

"Why do you say that?" Jarin had switched from his Grin of Evil Jr. and Ingenious Ideas to his "I-Don't-Know-What-The-Hell-You-Are-Talking-About" look.

"You just passed Ché La Viéve."

The car jolted forward as Jarin slammed on the brakes and made a quick U-turn at an interception. He looked to the now outraged Yurina.

"Next time, warn me..." she retorted as she pushed her hair out of her face.

"Ano...Gomen nasai???"

Out of the shadows in Yue's room, a dark figure stepped out. His skin was pale, wielding piercingly light apple-green eyes, like those of Yurina and her mother. His black shoulder-length hair was in a tight ponytail. His "ceremonial robes" consisted of a black muscle shirt and tight black pants, along with black boots and a black cloak. Attached to his ankle, above the boot, was a dagger.

His eyes flickered over to the comatized Judge of The Sakura, previously knows as The Clow. Swiftly he walked over to the side of the bed. After a few seconds, he levitated the dagger out of its hilt and into his awaiting hand. The blade had a ripple-shape to it and was jagged.

Holding it so that the tip of the blade was facing down, he lifted high above Yue's head, and without hesitation brought it down quickly.

Shall I end it here and leave you a nasty cliffhangher?

Anooooooooo..................

Let's see..................

Okay, so I lied. *Demo*, I'm not going back to the bedroom scene. MWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"I think I gained one or two pounds because of that Chinese fried rice and sushi platter." Yurina whined as Jarin started the car.

"Then I guess you don't have room for dessert." Jarin joked as he drove off from Ché La Viéve. "I *was* planning on taking to the new ice cream parlor that just opened. I heard they had a variety of exotic smoothies that are out of this world."

"Demo, I think I have room for one smoothie." Yurina piped up at the words "ice cream" and "smoothie". "What do you mean by 'out of this world'?"

"The names they give their smoothies. Like there's White Moonrise, Scarlet Sunset, Blue Neptune, and Jumbo Jupiter."

"Oh...I like the White Moonrise. That sounds good."

"Well look -- if you really want a smoothie -- don't blame me when you get sick."

"Why do you say that?"

"One word: Jake." The mentioning of the name caused Yurina to tilt her head and blush a deep crimson. Jarin snickered in victory but lost it as another slap upside his head was given. "Ouch!"

Feathers flew around Yue's head as the intruder pulled the jagged dagger out of the pillow.

"Kuso," he muttered. "I missed your head."

Indeed, he had missed Yue's head by about ½ inch.

-Now, now, my son. Let's not be too rational.- A thought interruped his concentration before he could try again.

"Demo, Dad --" he protested.

-No buts. You'll get your chance later.-

"Fine." The intruder gazed at the bejewled dagger. Its silver blade had chips here and there, and the wavy black hilt had gems in the colors of yellow, blue, red, and green embedded into it. The colors represented the four elements: Wind, Water, Fire, and Earth. He could call upon any of them, and instantly he would have liberty to do as he pleased. Both the tip of the blade and the end of the hilt had poison on it, but it was hidden because of a spell placed on the dagger.

Slowly he put the dagger away. He then turned swiftly, throwing a quick glance at Yue. "I won't miss next time, Judge. I'll get you for sure." A cold smile graced his features as he said this. Then, with a swing of his cloak, he was gone.

"What do you want?" Jarin asked as he led Yurina to a booth. They had just arrived at the Slick Ice Cream and Smoothie Parlor.

"Oh, I don't know. I want you to order, demo, it has to do with those smoothies you told me about." Yurina stated. She stiffened and got a suspicious look as Jarin's eyes twinkled. She was about to protest when a waitress came over.

"May I take your oder?" She asked.

"Yes. I would like a Scarlet Sunset and for her a White Moonrise." The "her" was motioned to Yurina. The waitress nodded and left. Jarin then cursed under his breath, and Yurina questioned, "What's wrong?"

"I forgot something in the car. I'll be back." Jarin excused himself and exited the parlor. Yurina sat back and closed her eyes for a few seconds.

-Should I give it to her here or at the beach?- Jarin was debating over whether to give the gift to her here or at the beach. -Here or the beach?- He then made his decision, -Beach.-

The violet-eyed boy began his way to the entrance when he stopped. While looking to the left, he put his right arm out to stop a girl about his age.

"Umm...Excuse me," she said, but Jarin refused, "No, wait."

After denying her passage, a motorcycle roared past the two at a high speed. The girl's eyes widened as the motorcycle slowed and parked.

"Thank you," she stated as she walked past Jarin, who smiled softly. Then, remembering Yurina, he made his way into the parlor.

The owner of the illusional motorcycle was sitting in a booth not far from Yurina's. He was watching the young girl with interest. -Soon, soon I will claim her for myself.- As he thought he felt the aura of a certain dark blue-haired boy and immediately made his move.

Unbeknownst to him, he too was being watched...

Yurina, who was enjoying her White Moonrise, thought, -I wonder where Jarin-kun is...- She continued to stir the smoothie with her straw while gazing out the window. She didn't notice the mysterious guy standing next to her booth.

"Something wrong miss?" A voice asked. Yurina looked up to see a guy about her age hovering over her, a smile on his lips. She returned the favor and replied, "Iie, arigatou."

"What?" The guy had a confused look on his face, and Yurina realized her mistake. "Oh, I'm sorry. No, thank you." She corrected in German. "Would you like to sit?"

"No, thank you though. I'm content with standing." The guy then got an idea. "Pardon my asking, but are you here with a friend?"

The white-haired girl noticed an evil smile come and go quickly as she nodded her head.

-Perfect.- he thought. He gazed back at Yurina with hidden lust. The smile she had seen come and go was now plastered on his face. "Perfect."

Yurina stiffened. She started to feel Black magic radiating in waves around the guy. Her senses then picked up a magical object which she guessed was in the back pocket of his jeans, hidden by the denim jacket he wore over a black muscle shirt.

Suddenly, she was caught off-guard as she felt herself pulled by sharply from her seat by the wrist. Before she could see who got her up, she was spun around once and then held back against a broad and muscular chest. An arm circled her shoulders in front of her to keep her from escaping. Her mouth opened and then suddenly closed as a jagged dagger came into her view and was placed under her throat.

Jarin walked into the parlor so see a guy near the booth where he had left Yurina. He began to walks towards them as he saw the guy's lips move. His pace became quicker as an evil smile appeared on the stranger's face. The walk broke into a run as the guy took Yurina's wrist and pulled her up sharply.

"Hey! What do you think you are --"The young sorcerer's mouth closed instantly as he witnessed the guy spin his best friend around, and then press her close to him. The guy took out a jagged dagger and placed it at her neck.

A dark blue aura hit the guy, and he looked up to see Yurina's best friend a few feet away in front of them. "Ah, I see you have come."

Confusion flickered oevr Jarin's face for a few seconds as he shouted, "What do you want with Yurina?!"

The guy was about to reply when a person from behind pulled his arms away from hsi hostage, giving Yurina the chance to escape. She gratefully jumped into the arms of Jarin, turning around to see her rescuer punching her attacker in the jaw and then rushing towards them.

"Come on! Let's go before he recovers!" He exclaimed. Both sorcerers nodded and hurriedly left the parlor, Jarin leaving money at the cashier for the smooties.

The two sorcerers jumped into the Corvette as Yurina's resuer ran to a nearby forest green motorcycle. Both vehicles sped off at the same time, the Corvette following the motorcycle.

Back inside the parlor, the attacker picked himself up, wiping the trail of blood running down his chin. His light apple-green eyes flashed with anger.

"No one, and I mean no one, insults Shirono Youko." He said menacingly as he headed to the entrance. -I'll show those *kids* what fear really looks like!-

"Thank you very much for saving me back there." Yurina gave her thanks to her rescuer, who was scanning the streets for any sign of the attacker.

"It was a risk that I could have taken" was his reply.

"What do you mean by that?" Questioned Jarin, getting a suspicious look.

"Well, you see...This is how it goes..."
