~ ~ ~ O.O All right, first, I'd like to say that I have NEVER seen reviews
come in so fast for just one chapter. Thanks! ^_^
Kero: So...you'll write more?
Of course I will! This is my fave pairing. Even though Syaoran's one of my favorite characters, I like Yue with Sakura a LOT better.
Kero: You actually LIKE that brat?
*grabs Kero very tightly* Watch it, bub, or you're not gonna be in the rest of the story!
Kero: ^_^; I was just joking, kid. Can't you take a joke?
*sighs* Anyway, remember - I DO NOT OWN CARDCAPTOR SAKURA OR ANY OF ITS CHARACTERS. Here's chapter number two! ^_^ ~ ~ ~ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________
"Morning, Sakura! Actually get up on time this morning?"
Sakura glared at her best friend. "Tomoyo," she said warningly, "it was Kero's fault. I'd still be in bed if it wasn't for him and his stupid jokes."
The black-haired girl smiled. "Set your alarm for six o'clock, didn't he?" she said brightly.
Sakura banged her fists on the desk in front of her. "I swear, if I wasn't the Mistress of the Sakura Cards, I'd wallop him good," she said in a frustrated tone.
Tomoyo just laughed. She had been friends with Sakura for a long time, and she had even helped her out with the Clow Card/Sakura Card adventures Sakura had been in. Her mother was the head of a company, so she always had new gadgets that she brought to school every day. But, despite her rich attire, Tomoyo always maintained her friendship with Sakura.
"Oh!" Tomoyo said suddenly. "I just remembered something."
Sakura sat down at her desk and looked up at her friend. "What's wrong, Tomoyo?" she asked.
"I heard we're getting some new students today. Not just in our grade, but a few others, too."
"Do you know anything about them?" Sakura brushed back her long brown hair as she asked.
Tomoyo just shook her head. "Nope, not a thing. There's a rumor that one's a junior, while the other two are freshmen like us."
"Hmmm," Sakura said thoughtfully, fingering the area around her uniform's collar. For some reason, Seijyu High School had decided to get new uniforms. And, strangely they looked like the sailor outfits that she and Tomoyo had worn as kids in Tomoeda Elementary. (Basically, the girls and boys were dressed in outfits similar to those of Tomoeda Elementary School's.)
Tomoyo stared at the spot Sakura was fingering, a knowing smile spreading across her face. "Something up?" she inquired. She knew that Sakura was fingering her Star Key, which helped her control the Sakura Cards.
"I think so," her friend said softly, "but I'm hoping not. I mean, things have been so quiet since Eriol. I want things to stay as they are now."
Tomoyo's smile faded as she patted Sakura's shoulder. "Don't worry," she said, "everything will be all right. You'll see."
=(I hope,)= Tomoyo thought to herself, not sure if what she said was completely true.
* * * * * * *
"Class, settle down," the young male teacher announced. Sakura and Tomoyo hurried to their seats as Mr. Raelida waited for the class to settle down. He was the girls' homeroom and Social Studies teacher, so they knew him pretty well. When the whispers had died down, he smiled and continued talking.
"We have two new students with us today," he said loudly, and the room once again broke out into whispers and hushed comments.
"I wonder who they are," Tomoyo whispered to Sakura, and her friend just nodded in agreement, eager to see who the newcomers were.
Mr. Raelida turned to the sliding door on his left. "Please come in," he said. The door slid open, and two figures stepped in. As soon as they turned to face the class, a shiver ran down Sakura's spine. =(I've got a bad feeling about them,)= she thought nervously.
The first figure was a boy. He was wearing the blue sailor uniform that the school required, and his sandy hair was wild and mussed-up. He had a pair of gray eyes that reminded Sakura of stormy seas in the middle of winter. His face seemed stern and stony, as if he didn't want to reveal anything about him just yet.
The second figure interested Sakura the most. She, too, was wearing the girls' sailor uniform, but her hair was a sapphire blue. It was pulled back into a high ponytail, two separate sections falling down by her ears onto her blue shirt. She had light blue eyes that glittered dangerously and curiously at once. She was the one that made Sakura feel nervous.
"This is Sairo and Selena," Mr. Raelida announced, and the two students bowed respectfully. "I hope you will treat them kindly. Now," he turned to Sairo, "you can sit next to Naruko over there, and..." The teacher surveyed the classroom for open seats. "Selena, you can sit on the other side of Sakura up there." He pointed towards Sakura, and the girl nodded.
The students made their way to their designated seats. As soon as Selena sat next to Sakura, Tomoyo got up and greeted her. "I'm Tomoyo Daidouji," she said happily, "and this is my friend, Sakura Kinomoto. Pleased to meet you, Selena."
Selena smiled warmly, something Sakura hadn't expected of her. "Nice to meet you, too," she said kindly. Her voice reminded Sakura of wind chimes on a summer morning in a small breeze. Sakura decided to be nice to Selena - after all, she seemed nice and of no harm to anyone.
"Same with you," Sakura told her, a smile spreading on her face.
"So," Tomoyo asked, "Selena, do you have any siblings?"
The blue-haired girl nodded. "Actually, I have an older brother who's with me in the school. He's a senior," she answered. "We're moving close to a shrine in the area, and we haven't had time to settle in yet."
"What about your parents?" Sakura asked, puzzled by this response.
Selena lowered her head. "They...They were killed in a car accident ten years ago when I was five," she said quietly.
"Oh," Sakura said suddenly. "I'm sorry I brought it up."
"No problem," Selena said reassuringly. "It's no big deal, so don't feel bad. I'm over it. My brother's helped me through it."
"What's his name? Maybe we could meet him sometime," Tomoyo asked her, changing the subject for the other two girls.
After Selena answered, Sakura felt her face fall. Her mind swirled with the name, and she felt herself slump over her desk. As she heard Tomoyo's and Selena's voices in the distance, she slipped into unconsciousness, the new girl's answer echoing before she blacked out.
"Oh, his name's Yue - Yue Tsukishiro..." ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________
~ ~ ~ Oooohh!! Here's a new twist to the story.
Kero: What? It's just Yue with Yukito's last name.
Well, yeah! At least the plot gets better after this...*sighs*
Yue: It had better.
AAAHHH!!!!!! O.O *falls over in beanbag chair* Yue!! When did YOU get here?
Yue: Two minutes ago. I flew through the window.
It was closed.
Yue: Kero opened it.
*glares at Kero* You WHAT?!?
Kero: *sweatdrops and laughs nervously* Take it easy, Yami-sama.
*shakes head* Fine. *turns to readers* So, what's up with Sairo and Selena? And what's with Yue in high school?
Yue: Are you ever going to write the next chapter?
*glares at Yue* I am going to smack you...
Yue: Try to.
*sighs and turns back to readers* Anyway, R & R please!! Preferably before I severely hurt the Guardians for ANNOYING ME HALF TO DEATH!!!! *breathes deeply and smiles* Just kidding - I need them for the story. R & R, send in suggestions - you people know the drill! *^_^* ~ ~ ~
