One More Day

by Lady Yunalesca

Ch.2- Time is Running Out

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

"Ohhhhh I'm so hungry!" Tomoyo's stomach rumbled as the trio (you know who I mean) walked home together after school.

"Sakura, why don't we get something to eat? I heard there's a new café downtown."

"Sure!" Sakura was hesitating with her next question, but couldn't understand why. She turned around and was tongue-tied,(hehe that rhymes) "S-Syaoran, you...come..uh....want...to...er....Do you want to come?"

He chuckled at the way Sakura was talking but said, "Sure, I don't have anything else to do."

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

They were all sitting at a table in the café talking about different things when a redhead girl came over and sat down with them.

"Hi guys! Whatcha talking about?"

They all looked at her clueless.

"What's wrong? Don't you know me?" she said.

"Um..." Sakura looked at Tomoyo for support, but she was just as confused as her and Syaoran.

"Syaoran, you of all people should recognize me!" she gave him a sad look.

"Sorry, I don't have a clue who you are." he avoided her face so she wouldn't know he was lying.

"WHAT!?" she stood up and continued shouting. "You were my science partner for half of the school year!"

Sakura blinked, and then she remembered, "Oh! You're Kaori O-something aren't you?"

She shot an annoyed glare at Sakura. "YES, I am Kaori Otaka, but I was hoping Syaoran would remember me."

Syaoran sensed a dark aura fuming out of her. "Um, Kaori, don't think me crazy, but do you, um, know any magic?"

Kaori laughed nervously, "Ha ha, what makes you think that? I don't believe in magic!" -How does he know?- "Um, I better go. Nice talking to you, Syaoran!"

She gave the girls that nasty look again. "Sakura, Tomoyo."

But before running off, Kaori gracefully slipped a little package into Sakura's drink without anyone noticing.

-What's her problem?- Tomoyo turned back to Syaoran. "So do you remember her?"

He sighed, "Yeah, but I'd rather not even know her. Let's just say she's much worse than Meiling could ever be."

They all laughed, but then Sakura's face turned serious. "Syaoran, did you sense something from her?"

"You felt it too? I think she's bad news, Sakura. You should stay away from her." Syaoran looked worried.

Sakura just nodded and took a sip of her juice, then decided to change the subject. "So what should we- ugh..." she suddenly fainted, and Syaoran caught her just before she hit the floor. (of course ^-^)

"Sakura! What's wrong?" Tomoyo yelled for someone to call an ambulance, and Syaoran checked her pulse.

-Oh no- Tomoyo saw Syaoran turn pale as a ghost and she started to cry.

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

"This is working perfectly." Kaori peered around the corner at the fallen cardcaptor.

"Interesting choice, Kaori."

She spun around and was shocked. "Diavolo! What are you doing here! People can see you!"

He flicked his forked tail around. "No they can't."

"Oh, um, well can we go somewhere else, people are staring at me." Diavolo snapped his fingers and they were instantly transported to Penguin Park.

"Ack! Warn me before you do that!" Kaori held her spinning head. "Hey, how was Syaoran able to tell that I knew magic?"

"Oh, did I forget to tell you? Other people with magic powers can sense your magic. You need to control it more when your emotions change, especially when you are angry. Good luck." With that, Diavolo vanished, and a puff of smoke was left behind.

"Hey! Wait! I'm not done!" Kaori stomped her foot angrily, and Diavolo reappeared.

"What now?"

"So Syaoran has magic abilities too. Can I sense his magic?"

He thought a moment. "Well, did you notice him glowing at all?"

She raised an eyebrow. "Huh? Well, now that you mention it, he did glow sorta green when I was talking to him."

"Well, there you have it. That's his magic aura."

Her eyes widened. "Oh no! Sakura was glowing pinkish! I thought it was just the light!" she ran back and forth in a panic. "Oh no no no! Now my poison won't work right!"

"You still have much to learn. Oh, I forgot what I came her for; your powers will only last until the end of the week, you have 6 days left to kill Sakura. Her magic will make this rather difficult. Good luck." he vanished just as an ambulance race by.
