Hi everyone! I am totally and completely bored and my teachers gave me an 8
page essay to write (actually 10 page but I already wrote two pages) over
Spring Break. Can you believe it? I also have to read a 200+ pg. Book and
give an oral presentation and write poetry! Other than that I'm handy
dandy! Oh, well. Hopefully I'll get it done soon so I can type more!
YAAAAAAAAYYYYYY! ^___^ I'm happy! Well, thank you everyone for the reviews
so far! I know most of what I want to have happen but now I just have to
find the time to do it! Well, here it goes! ^-^

*****Sakura*****
I tried not to squirm in my chair as I waited for the man in the funny looking hat to hand everyone a piece of paper that had which classes that person was supposed to go to, and when. My eyes followed him around the room wearily when I noticed that he just handed a sheet of folded parchment to one person at a time and none of them had names or anything on them. 'How could that be?' I asked myself, my brow knit together.
He finally came to our table last and by that time the room was already filled with noisy chatter. When I received my schedule I felt an aura around the parchment and nearly dropped it in surprise. Why hadn't I sensed it earlier? The aura died down as fast as it had come and I slowly un- folded the paper.
"Which classes do you have Sakura?" Tomoyo asked as she watched me scan the paper.
"Umm…" I said, "First I have History Of The Kingdoms, then Embroidery, then Dance And Manners, then History Of The Past, then Legends And Tales, then Defense, and last Nature's Song. Hmm. I wonder what that is about. I'll tell you right now though, the only class I think I'll like and maybe even succeed at is Defense. Can you believe that they let Princesses learn martial arts and archery?!? It's like a dream come true!"
Tomoyo looked at me with an odd expression. "You have GOT to get out more often, Sakura."
I sweat dropped.
"Anyway," she continued, "I have History Of The Kingdoms, Embroidery, Dance And Manners- I heard it is required- Writing, Legends And Tales, Defense, and last of all, Nature's Song."
"At least we have some classes together, well, most classes. I wonder how many different classes there are." I looked at the others. "Which classes did you get?"
"All of us have History Of The Kingdoms first. Don't you think that it is a bit odd?" Rika asked.
I didn't want to tell them about the magic involved because I did not want them to freak out. What should I say though? I looked over at Tomoyo and then back at the others.
"Maybe they figured that everyone would be sitting by their friends so they handed out the schedules right now with some of us all having the same classes and everything," Tomoyo said, making me breathe a huge sigh of relief.
"Yeah, maybe you're right," Chiharu said, yet didn't look fully and completely convinsed.
Then we heard a sort of far off bell, that seemed VERY loud and somehow soft at the same time. Practically everyone looked around to see where it came from or exchange confused glances with a person sitting near them.
"Attention everyone!" The little man shouted over the din of the crowd. "That bell is the signal to get to class. Every day you will hear it with the exception of holidays and two days during each week. Is that understood?"
Everyone mumbled a yes or nodded their head to show that they understood. "Good," he continued. There is a map that shows you a variety of ways to get to your specific classes. If you loose it or ever need another one, please contact me or ask one of your teachers. You will have a seven minute passing period so it should give you plenty of time if you get lost. Please stick together if possible. Thank you." Then he left the room and everyone rose from their chairs and started to go to their first class of the day.
In History Of The Kingdoms class, the teacher seemed really strict. Her mouth was etched into a frown and her eyes seemed to have lost their sparkle of life. During that class everyone sat in assigned seats and we all told the other Princes and Princesses about our Kingdom and which Kingdom we come from. It was incredibly boring. Tomoyo at least sat next to me, but Prince Syaoran sat behind me and was glaring at me all through the class. Something about him really made me fell uneasy around him. I didn't know exactly what it was yet. All of the other Princes shunned him and all the Princesses swooned around him. I just talked to Tomoyo, Naoko, Rika, and Chiharu between passing periods. Princess Meiling was also in that class and she would glare at anyone who came too close to Syaoran. I tried to avoid her as well.
Embroidery was horrible! I had to sit still the whole time and my legs kept falling asleep. Tomoyo and the others were thoroughly enjoying themselves. I kept messing up and making little knots about every second. I wanted to scream!
Dance and Manners was a full class. Prince Syaoran was also in this class, along with Naoko, Chiharu, Yamazaki, and Rika. Tomoyo and I tried to stay toward the back of the small ballroom. The teacher seemed pretty nice, but when people started goofing around she became VERY strict. It gave me the shivers just remembering the red shade of her face and the way a vein started to pop out. I thought I wouldn't get out of there alive!
The Histories Of The Past teacher seemed to drone on and on and then we all had to read stacks of parchment and write a summery of what we learned on our first day. By the time I was done reading my eyes were two large swirls and I couldn't stand up!
Thankfully I had one nice teacher so far. She taught Legends And Tales. I was actually kind of interested in what she had to teach. She had long red- brown hair and beautiful amber eyes. There was something about her… I don't know what… but she seemed… to know something. She seemed… to know me.
I was really excited about my defense class but was disappointed when all Mr. Tokuo had us do was name certain weapons and attacks. We didn't get to fight or anything today. All we did was talk about the rules and what to and not to do. It was almost as boring as embroidery!
Nature's Song was not at all what I expected. It was an all girls class and we sang songs, went on a walk through the royal gardens, talked about certain trees and plants, and then sang up to the twilight sky. [AN: By the way, they all already went to lunch which was between History Of The Past and Legends And Tales. Heh heh. I forgot to add that little detail. '-_- Sorry.] The day was a tremendously busy one and when it was finally over and was time for dinner I couldn't wait. I was totally exausted and almost got lost five times while switching classes. I didn't know how much of this I would be able to take. I would hopefully get easier as I got used to the schedule.
I followed Tomoyo and the others to the dinning hall and before we knew it dinner was served. Everyone was more quiet than usually this evening. I barely noticed it until Tomoyo said something about it. [AN: Of course Sakura wouldn't notice! She's soooooo dense! ^-^ But that's why I like to write about her! Hee hee!] I ate the rest of my meal in silence and then when I was done I started up a conversation. At least I made some new friends. Hopefully my classes wouldn't be a complete drag. Who knows? But I still had that nagging feeling at the back of my mind, telling me that something wasn't right. I decided that I would write to my parents to make sure that everything was okay and tell them about my new friends. I knew that they would be really happy to hear from me. Even Touya.
*****Syaoran*****
After all of my classes I stomped up to my mother's Study Chamber and walked right in. My fists were clenched and my eyebrows narrowed even more than regularly. I was angry, and I knew that she knew that even before she looked up at me from her papers.
"Sit down, Syaoran," she said in a light voice. I remained standing. She raised her eyebrows. "You're mad that I had you be in most of Princess Sakura's classes, are you not?" She asked.
"That is the understatement of the day," I growled. "She is in more than half my classes! And so are a bunch of annoying girls that won't leave me alone! Why?!? What did I do to you?!?"
"Calm down, Syaoran. I put you in those classes for a reason. First of all, you need to be more social." I snorted. "Second," she continued, "Sakura needs to be watched. YOU will be the one to help her. YOU will be the one to follow her around and make sure that nothing happens to her. She still hasn't collected all of the Clow Cards, right?" I nodded my head. "Then you'll need to be by her side. I do not want any of our guests getting hurt either. They can NOT know about this Syaoran. You know how important this is, not only to me, but to every living thing. If she messes up, the whole world could be in danger."
"There's something that you're not telling me," I said, looking at her suspiciously. "What is it?"
A worried look crossed Yelan's face, but was got almost as fast as it came. "There will be hard times ahead for that poor girl. I do not know what exactly, but I can sense it like nothing before. There is something coming. A very powerful source of magic. I do not know what he wants, but it can not be good. I think he may be after the cards. He… or it… will stop at nothing. You must watch over Sakura. She will need you more than you could imagine. And… we need her."
That shocked me. A powerful magician was after the Clow Cards, Princess Sakura may be in danger, if anything happened to her the world would be in peril, and she needed my help. It didn't get any better- or should I say worse- then this. It all came down to a GIRL. THAT irritated me. We were all going to die. [AN: Isn't he mean?!?] I turned on my heel and strode out of the room. 'This girl better be a good Cardcaptor,' was all that ran through my mind.
I decided to skip dinner because I didn't want to be ambushed by a bunch of gaggling geese also know as the feminine race. I went outside and walked briskly over to the practice courts. I took a broad sword out of its sheath and began swinging it around. I hated the world at that moment. I could have practiced forever, but I knew that sooner or later Meiling would come looking for me and demand an explanation. I grimaced at the thought and put the sword down. I went inside the palace so I could get a good night's sleep and wake up early. Then my thoughts drifted over to Prince Touya and that morning when we fought together. 'He was pretty good. I'll give him that much. So, he is related to Princess Sakura of the Kinomoto Kingdom. Does he know that she has magic? Could he help me in the morning and tell me about her? I wonder… does he know the possible danger that she is in?' Many thoughts and questions filled my head, but I eventually did fall asleep.
Sorry everyone but I'm going to end it here. I need to think about what I want to have happen the next morning. Well PPPLLLEEEAAASSSEEE REVIEW THIS STORY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!!!!! ^-^ You all make me feel special when you do. I know this chapter was slow going but you HAVE to know this information for later on. Thank you EVERYONE!!!!!!!!! You are all the BEST in the WEST!!!!! (At least… that is where I come from.) ^-^ Thanks again!!!!!! R&R!!!
