Sakura And Her Most Concerned Day
"Ho-eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!! I'm late Kero-chan!!!!" Sakura sprang out of her bed and ran over to her closet immediately pulling out her school uniform.
"Huh?? Wazzaa pppp???", a yellow stuffed animal pops out of Sakura's drawer at her desk spiral eyes going round and round and round (Kero-chan: Tomogirl....knock it off!!!!!) until his vision turned into his normal beady eyes. Suddenly, a shadow loomed over him as he looked up and eeeked to his despair as Sakura's night clothing came piling on top of him.
"Sakura!!!"
"Gomen nasai!!! I gotta go!!! Could you place them back into the closet for me?? Ittsarashima!!!!!!", and Sakura was out the door. Kero-chan sweat dropped as he moved the clothing off his little body. He floated toward the center of the room and looked at the clothing that now lays on the floor. His eyes narrowed and sighed.
"She isn't going to get away with her lateness act.......one way or the other.", Kero-chan picked up the clothing one by one gently as he replayed every single event she's ever been late to school. His attention soon turned to the Playstation lying on the floor. 'Hmmmmm......'. The Sakura Card Book floated out of the draw right toward the little gaurdian and unsealed itself. The cards then floated out and made a circle around Kero-chan.
"It's time for a little action plan!!!!!!!!!!!"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Uki-o Kaboue?"
"Here!"
"Zang Ryo?"
"Present!"
"Mikoshi Yakoshimi"
"Ditto"
"Daidouji Tomoyo"
"Here", once her name was called, she looked to her side to see an empty seat and giggled a bit. She turned her head a little to the left to see a boy blushing like a bright red tomato. Tomoyo gave him a smile and turned back towards the front of the room.
"Yamazaki Takashi?"
"Not here!" At this moment, Chiharu glared straight hard and shot off her seat.
"Takashi no baka!!! That's the third time I have to tell you to knock off lying to the sensei!!", she clamped her two hands around his neck and gave Takashi the classic strangle.
"That's enough!", Sensei Miyaku screamed, "I'll shall not tolerate this anymore! Both of you detention!"
"But Sensei!! I didn't do anything wrong!", Chiharu loosened her grip and stared straight at Miyaku.
"Neither did I!" Takashi came immediately after, "You see.....I'm practicing for the upcoming play so I might as well slip into my other character as a good exercise since my character likes to fool around and be the class clown!"
"He's got a point there....", Chiharu realized that Takashi for once isn't telling a lie which got Chiharu to.......
"Detention for you Chiharu-san then..........", Miyaku's voice projected loud enough for even the late students passing by to hear.
"Demo.....Sensei!!", Chiharu protested.
"Sit down now!!!", Miyaku's voice grew louder by the minute. Chiharu felt herself turning red as she obeyed the order. Naoko and Rika looked to each other as they wondered if there was any way on cheering up their friend.
"Samisi Nabugi".
"Here!"
"Wasabi Nekoi".
"Here!"
"Yagini Naoko".
".........."
"I heard she's sick......", one of the student's replied. Miyako marked down absence and continued on.
"Yangi Mishosuusiki".
"Present!". The classroom door slide open and in came Kinomoto Sakura. Everyone stared at the huffing girl as she made her way to her seat. Once she got there, she placed her bag onto the desk and looked up, "Ho-eeeeeeeeeeee!!! Gomen.........I.........I............". Sensei Miyaku watched her face turn red as she stuttered a few more seconds before his eyes returned to rest of the room as if she didn't even come in.
"Ranbu Taekichi".
"Here! Here!"
"Kinomoto Sakura", Miyaku said her name in a slow dramatic voice like he's dying. Sakura looked up quickly and said a small, "Hai!", before continuing on taking out the rest of her books. She felt the glare of her teacher sting through her like a needle and sweat drops began to form all over her. Ever since her first day in his class, she always had to face some strange obstacle with the teacher. Sakura glanced to her right at Tomoyo who gave her a short grin and pointed her thumb behind. Sakura slowly turned to face the red faced tomato, Li Syaoran. He was only looking straight at his desk and didn't seem to realize Sakura watching him. Sakura, as dense as she can be, wondered why he was red. She looked back at Tomoyo who only gave a nod as if she was knowing what Sakura was thinking. Sakura mouthed out the word ,"really?", and sat stunned for the rest of the attendance.
"If you can't figure out the problem Kinomoto-san, I suggest you take your seat.", Miyaku can give twice the headache during math. Sakura bowed at the sensei and walked to her seat slowly. Tomoyo looked on with concern as she watched her friend look to the floor.
"Sakura-chan, what's wrong?", she whispered as soon as Miyaku's head was on another student.
"Tomoyo-chan....I can't explain this feeling.", Sakura looked at her with frightened eyes, "I feel like something is watching us this very minute!". Tomoyo adverted her eyes to the sensei quickly before she looked back at Sakura. She never saw Sakura this scared in her entire life, "talk more about it at lunch?" Sakura's head bobbed up and down weakly in reply. Tomoyo looked at Syaoran for a brief moment before returning her attention to the lesson. It seems the chestnut haired boy had a strange look on his face.......it almost seem to form 'worry'.
oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
"The card mistress........heh! She's afraid of her sensei real badly......I wonder...", The figure of the outer limits stretched her right arm in front of her and called out another shard minion, "Eclipse!".
A strange white light comes through the mirror that the shard went into and forms into a woman. Soon, her whole features could be seen which came out to be a brown curly haired woman with a business looking gray skirt in high heels. The minion bows before the figure before she looks up to see the hazel eyes stare at her with wonder. The figure then spoke, "Will you be up to the mission? It's not that much of a challenge depending on how well you judge the card mistress's skills on strength and dependence.".
"Trust me........I know how to manage her. That mistress is only a little girl, right? I'll send her packing before you know it!!", the minion winked and a portal opened behind her. The figure bit her lips as she watched the portal fade, "Great..........just as long as that person doesn't interfere whoever he or she is!!!!". She sat back onto her throne with a small grunt and crossed her arms, 'As soon as those cards are upon my possession, I have no use for this world anymore and I can return home...'.
oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Sakura looked out the window with a longing expression. She couldn't wait until the rest of the morning classes were taken cared of.
"And so, Amaterasu became the one who rules over heaven while her brother....", Sensei's voice began to drone her thoughts as he kept on talking about Japan's creation myth. Sakura glared at him for one second and felt like sticking her tongue out. Ever since Terada-sensei got transferred to teaching at the Seijou High School, nothing's been the same. Rika once said that she couldn't believe it herself but not to worry for they can always visit him after school (***which is more than that for Rika-chan).
"Kinomoto-san!! Will you please sit up more.........you're position is very disturbing!!", Miyaku said annoyed by the fact that Sakura was slouching.
"Hai!", Sakura piped as she picked herself up and sat like a normal student. The Sensei rubbed his temple and looked back to his class. He continued where he left off but soon, he felt his vision begin to waver.
'What the....?', Miyaku's brow ceased as his vision worsened by the minute. The whole class stared in awe as they watched their teacher blink and shuffle his feet so much. Then, it happened. He fell tumbling back toward the chalkboard and bang his head on the board's metal chalk holder. The class soon exploded with voices as kids got up and ran quickly toward their sensei. Questions were floating up into the air and one student even said, "Ouch!". Sensei wasn't out yet and tried to grab onto anything in order to get up. Students grabbed hold of his arms and pulled him up. Sakura looked on with concern even if she swore he was her enemy. She turned to Tomoyo who only had one of her hands to her mouth as she watched the display going on. Sakura decided not to say anything when she noticed something behind her back. It was Syaoran but on his face.......
"I'm alright," Miyaku said lightly as he was on his two feet, "I think I just need an ice pack and that's about it.". Some of the class cheered and clapped. Others sulked and booed (and to themselves). The Sensei walked to his chair and sat with his hand onto his head like it was glued on. His head was pounding loud enough to cover up all the cheers and boos going around. Sakura's eyes widen as she began to sense something. Her head shot up instantly as the student came back not just with an ice pack but two other people. She recognized one of them as the vice-principal but the other she had no clue.
"Class of Room 5-B, Miyaku-sensei is going to be resting in the nurse's room for today until his head ache fades so I expect you to be on good behavior for this substitute. She came in somehow on coincidence earlier today saying she once was a psychic but now teaches independently as a traveling substitute. So give all regards to Hideoa Sabatoshi.", the vice-principal indicates the woman next to him who bows in front of the class.
"It's a pleasure meeting all of you. I hope that the rest of the day would be a good experience of getting to know all of you......then again, I already know all of you!!", she giggled as she looked around. Her brown hair moving swiftly with the direction her head goes as she blushed and looked at the V.P. with an apologetic face. The V.P. shook his head and smiled, "It's alright........I'm sure everyone understands... Come Miyaku-sensei, a bed is waiting for you", he led Miyaku out of the room gently with ease. Sakura always wished that he was their teacher instead of some monster.
"Well class!", Sabatoshi's voice rang out with her eyes flashing, "I hope that Miyaku-sensei does get well soon too... Let's see.....you're all wondering...what do we do when the Sensei's out?? Play tricks upon the substitute or act like perfect little angels? Give up?", that ended in another of her giggles.
"Oh great, she's one of those teachers...", groaned one student to another.
"On the contradictory," Sabatoshi's eyes flashed again, "I'm going to play a game instead of continuing on what Miyaku-sensei's teaching about the creation myth!". This got everyone's attention from naive Sakura all the way to serious Syaoran.
"Like I said!! I'm a psychic!!", her words cringed everyone down to their souls, "Lets see now.......", her eyes searched up and down aisles until she reached Sakura's row, "You!!!".
Syaoran stood up, his eyes still glaring at the substitute.
"Li Syaoran, am I correct?". Syaoran didn't say anything but stare which was pretty far normal to those who know him pretty well.
"I am sensing that you're struggling with your memory.....that part of you is here and the rest is.......is.......", Sabatoshi closed her eyes as she begin to feel something.......that is in this room with her. She opened them again and stared at Syaoran with a small smile, "There's more than that memory missing........you have another life that you forgotten". There were many gasps coming from all over as everyone began to stare wide eyed with curiosity and intrigued by what she says. Sakura and Tomoyo looked at each other, their worried expressions got increasingly tensed. Syaoran, on the other hand, only stared hard at Sabatoshi with his eyes beginning to burn.
"Do you think she could find out?", Sakura whispered as soon as Sabatoshi's attention was upon the middle row.
"Maybe Sakura-chan, but don't worry yet, because she's only a sub and even if she knew........maybe it's best to keep that a secret since the cards are real special. Plus, who would believe her? You have the invincible spell Sakura so you must be invincible to her knowledge!!", Tomoyo's reply was soon mirrored to that of another student in the room, "I don't believe that Syaoran got some memory problem. Sure you got his name right but.....what about his family?? His sisters, mother, and relatives!!". Somehow, that student's voice sounded a bit odd to the card mistress, friend, and (hopefully) partner. Syaoran instantly turned to see where the voice came from only to find a girl in the fifth row with black hair tied in a pony tail (**I'll put her in buns soon!!) and matching amber eyes staring right at Sabatoshi, 'Mei-Meiling??'
"You have quite an aura......Li-san...........but I assure you that the info I have about your cousin is practically safe with me!", Sabatoshi smiled as the girl gasped a bit loudly, "You may also take off your disguise for now the class knows who you are". The rest of the class went wild after that and began to barge in with questions related to just about anything........even of the future which Sabatoshi quickly denies to tell and says, "The fun is to find out isn't it? Now why would you want to spoil your fun of doing things without discovering them yourselves?". This left people disappointed and dragged but their questions never ended.
"I have a strange feeling....about this whole thing", Sakura once again whispered. Tomoyo nodded and looked toward where the black haired girl was. She smiled and tried to shout without gaining any attention, "Meiling-chan!!!! Over here!!!", she could hear the girl grumble to herself as she took off her pony tail and put on her usual two buns. The girl turned and slowly, her glare became softened replaced by a smile, "Tomoyo!!! I'm sorry!! What's up?".
"We didn't know you'll be here for the entire year!!!", Tomoyo smiled back and looked over her shoulder to see Sakura give a short wave with her usual cheerfulness. Meiling's smile widened and decided a chat would be nice for the time being.
"I'm here just to keep Syaoran on my eyes..... Once I heard that the elders sent him here, I knew trouble could be brewing but I didn't think it could be this drastically bad. Was he a trouble maker on the day he arrived because if he was and pushing Sakura around for her cards, I tell ya......I'll make sure my cousin gets a few pushings for his own good!!", Meiling gave a little punching sign into the air as Tomoyo and Sakura smiled at how cousinly, Meiling's acting. Syaoran, who was listening for the whole entire time, couldn't believe how Meiling's personality changed. She used to hug him a lot and made sure no one claimed Syaoran for they are fiances but maybe that's changed inside his lost memory. Now, he can be relieved that she doesn't think that way anymore.......or does she still? Syaoran now deep in thought didn't realize Sakura staring at him.
'He may be different but to me, the same Syaoran can still come out of him', Sakura blushed a little and turned slowly on her seat but not quick enough for Syaoran to catch her.
"What?", Syaoran eyed her carefully as he saw her freeze.
"Ho-eee...ah....ah....ano...nothing!!! I'm just wondering what Tomoyo-chan told you the other day".
"Is it really your business?", Syaoran said staring straight into her eyes. Sakura was taken aback by this. Syaoran wasn't turning red or stuttering at all.
"No..no.....not really...... Gomen...I was just curious because, you were turning....red in back of me...", Sakura didn't want to say it but it's done now.
"I was.....thinking about something that happened to me earlier this morning", Syaoran said calmly. Now Sakura was feeling dizzy. This isn't the ten year old Syaoran who she talked with in fourth grade. He would usually be distant, shy, blushy looking, and quite the stutter person. How can half of him be here, the other be wherever and yet, he attains the personality that he has when he came over to Japan over the summer? But how does that explain the other day's event of him thrashing her like the first day he met her? Does he even forgive her of what she did to his apartment door? The more she thought, the dizzier she gets until she can reach another, "ho-ee..".
"Sakura-chan, are you alright??", Tomoyo looked on with horror at her friend who was holding her forehead and her eyes closed.
"I'm fine!!", Sakura opened her emerald eyes and gave an assuring smile, "I just want to know what you told Syaoran-kun while I was away......".
"Ohohohoho!!! My Sakura-chan is still clueless!!!! Even around the one she l-!!".
"Tomoyo-chan, not yet!!!!", screamed Sakura as she wave her arms into the air blushing crazily, "Just tell me quietly what happened".
"I told him about the past.....about him helping us catch the cards and how you passed the judgement!! Also about Yukito-san and Yue......Kero-chan and his real form.......the trip to Hong Kong......your onii-chan and his powers..........your otou-san and Clow-san......Eriol-kun and his guardians.....but I didn't say anything about you and him!!", Tomoyo smile loosened a tiny notch at that part. What else was she to say? She wished she could go further but she had the strangest feeling that Syaoran was to know about his feelings deep from within his heart. That's why she didn't even explain about the mysterious Hope and Void cards.
"I see........", Sakura slowly said, "Is that why Syaoran-kun was acting strange today? He seemed very calm.....".
"Hmmm........ I bet it's what I told him about his reaction to Yukito-san's! No, maybe it's when I told him about how he changed from being so stiff and distant into a normal kid!!", Tomoyo showed her ^_^ face and turned toward Syaoran. The boy just stared....and stared. Only he knew why he was acting like he is. Even Meiling looked at Syaoran like he was a complete stranger. Little did the four of them know...someone was watching them with complete surveillance.
"Alright class!!!!! Enough for your Qs and As!!! It's time to hit the books since I'm well aware of who all you are!!!", her head moved in the direction of Sakura's row again and she gave a small wink. Sakura & co. blinked at that act but didn't have that much time to ponder. Groans and "awwwwws" were heard throughout the room just like a typical seventh grade class. They were soon back on the lesson of Amaterasu's creation and Susanowo's destruction but it only lasted for ten minutes. The bell bonged and class was over for the morning. No homework was given up to everyone's delight but Sakura was still upset that she was the only one who had math assignments due.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"So you felt immense power as you were walking back to your desk?".
"Hai........it actually came from all over the class room!".
"................".
"I wish I could help but........even if I don't have any magic.......I think that we should investigate tonight just like old days!!".
"I agree!! It's better than not sitting around like some rubber toy in a bath tub!!".
"Very funny.......".
"Nani?".
"Nothing".
"I think we should be on guard at all times since this new force is strong. I mean, it even wiped out Sakura just like that!!", Meiling gave a snap at her fingers.
The four were deep in conversation although Syaoran didn't say much. Sakura was still shaken up with Syaoran's behavior and didn't feel like talking to him for the rest of the school day. Sabatoshi was watching them from a tree far off in the distance. Her eyes narrowed a little when she looked at Syaoran and Sakura but returned to normal with a gleam in her left eye, 'He shall soon awaken....". She then gave a few giggles before vanishing into the air. Another figure was watching Sabatoshi at the same time Sakura's group. The figure shook its head and vanished as well. Sakura looked up with a jolt and so did Syaoran.
"What's wrong?", Tomoyo followed where her friends were looking only to see nothing.
"That feeling was back here!! It was somewhere nearby yet.........far?", her expression became puzzled and closed her eyes trying to detect it again. Syaoran stayed quiet and turned his head to look at Sakura. Tomoyo began to wonder at this, 'What was that look on his face? Sympathy!!??'. Sakura opened her eyes only to find Syaoran staring at her. She felt a burning sensation come across her face the more she stared at his captivating eyes. Emerald countering amber was the most uncomfortable situation Sakura could ever face with the one who doesn't even remember her. Tomoyo suddenly felt like she wanted to slap herself. She began to remember that she told Syaoran about Sakura's good nature of things no matter how naive she can get. Could it be related to all this??
"Syao-Syaoran-kun!!!! Something wrong? Is there something on my face?", Sakura managed to stutter out after finding his stare getting more uncomfortable. Tomoyo did her "oh my" phrase while Meiling just face-faulted at Sakura's naive features. Syaoran shook his head and stood up. Everyone gave him questioned looks but he just walked away.
"The nerve of him!!!!! Xiao Lang!!!! Where ya going!?? You can't just abandon us like that!!!", Meiling formed the
"Yeah but he's distant isn't he?", Tomoyo asked.
"Sure........well......earlier today, I thought he changed because he doesn't seem to be that shy little boy we knew back in fourth and fifth grade right? He seemed to be more in control of his present feelings than I thought despite his forgotten feelings".
'More in control of his present feelings', Meiling's words echoed forever inside Sakura's head, 'What are your present feelings Syaoran-kun? What are mine?', Sakura gave a blink at what she just thought, 'Where did that come from?'.
"We can work without him for now..", Meiling bitterly said still scowling at Syaoran, the presently now tiny dot. Her smile was placed back on as she looked back at the duo, "So what now?".
"How about Sabatoshi-sensei??", Tomoyo who obviously was recording the whole entire conversation from the start hit the zoom button in front of Meiling's face. The girl with buns smirked and came out smoothly with an answer, "I say something is up with her no matter what she says. She's hiding something definitely!". Tomoyo nodded at this and turned to Sakura, "What do you think Sakura-chan??". Sakura didn't seem to be hearing for she was lost in her thoughts like always.
"SAKURA-CHAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!", Tomoyo said a bit louder. Sakura instantly said ,"ho-eeeeeeee!!", and looked at her b.f. with 'I'm sorry' looks, "Hai! Hai!!". That was all Meiling needed in order for an agreement of searching the sub to go into operation.
"Ja ne later minna-san!!!!!!!! I gotta go look for Xiao Lang-baka!!", Meiling shouted as she zoomed off. Sweat drops appeared over Sakura and Tomoyo's heads. "There goes the other Li...", Tomoyo commented before aiming her camcorder to Sakura who only gave way to more sweat drops, "To-To-Tomoyo-chan!!".
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The rest of the afternoon wasn't that bad.......surprisingly, everyone found out that Miyako-sensei was knocked out cold by some unexplained reason. That gave Sakura some hope but still, she wasn't happy about the sub. Sabatoshi led the class through music lessons and physical education like any other teacher but she still spook everyone about her psychic skills. She caught five kids cheating on a test they later took all in a row and strangely knew which kids were the best at the balancing beam during P.E. When it was Sakura's turn at the beam, she didn't know whether or not to trust the sub any further ado. She clambered onto the beam and gave herself a deep breath.
"Now, I want you to show everyone the greatest ability you could ever give! Don't worry with the things you're thinking right now. Just concentrate on your energy and pour out the true feelings you wanted to feel from your heart!", Sabatoshi smiled at Sakura who only gasped at what she said, "Ready? Go!!". Sakura could feel something from Sabatoshi but what? She closed her eyes and followed up to Sabatoshi's advice. Sakura put out her leg and felt a whole bunch of energy flow right up in front of her face.
"You're mine!!!", a voice shouted at Sakura that combined into the student crowd who are cheering. Suddenly, screams were the only thing that could come out of the students as they were fearing something unexplainable. For the third time of the day, she opened her eyes only to find a blast of white light surrounding her body, "Ho-eeeeee!! What's going on!??". Wind coming out of no where flew right out at her and lashed all around the gym area.
"Kyaaaaa!!!", shouted a few students as the student crowd began to back away from the balance beam. Their voices rised up to the ceiling which caught the attention of nearby teachers.
"What's happening!!?? Why's that light surrounding Sakura-chan?", Tomoyo watched distressfully and searched to see where Sabatoshi-sensei was............only to find the sub gone. Meiling tried to run through the crowd of raging students only to be blocked back by other teachers. Some of the them went toward the beam only to be pushed back by some invincible force. Tomoyo decided to look for the next person up in line, Syaoran, who was looking at the beam emotionlessly and tried to sneak pass one of the teachers who were holding his area back. He was soon pushed way back by a blockade of students that were pouring in from the side which made his figure disappear. Tomoyo couldn't take it any longer and tried her own attempt to run foward, only to be propelled back just like Syaoran. Meiling also vanished in the crowd of panic students leaving the chances slim for Sakura's rescue.
"I....I can't see", Sakura blinded by the light felt something at her ribs. She weakly looked down to see a pair of non human looking arms wrapping around her like coils of a snake. Then pain slowly crept up to her body as the arms tighten their grip around her. Tears came out in response as Sakura tried hard to not to let them loose. She had to stay strong.
"O' key that hides the powers of the stars, reveal thy true self to me! I, Sakura, command you under contract..........RELEASE!!!", she shouted out as her key turned into the star staff, "Power!!".
The staff slammed onto the card turning loose the little pink girl spirit. The spirit entered Sakura's body and she was able to grip the arms off her in a sec. Sakura tumbled onto the floor breathing heavily. She soon got up and saw the menace who was causing all this. The minion was standing over her body and grinned wickedly at her, "So little card mistress........surprise! You don't expect a little ol' demon like me to be out in your gym. I'm sorry.......I didn't introduce myself yet, I'm Eclipse, minion of the kidnappers...you can say!! Ohohohoho!!!", Eclipse did the little hand motion that lays underneath her chin. Sakura sweat dropped a bit but shook her head to keep herself from thinking of Tomoyo, "Why are you doing this?".
"Tough luck kid! I don't know what to say. You won't get anything out from me!!! My mistress is only on a mission that may help her one way or the other and you're the benefactor of it all!!", Eclipse grin wider as she leapt into the air and moved into a position that looked like she was about to hug Sakura when she gets down. The card mistress rolled to her side and let the demon fall face down onto the floor.
"Why.......ya....lil'........brat........", moaned Eclipse who pushed with effort out of the little hole her head formed. Sakura felt like she was sucked out of air. She weakly pulled off her star key and spoke her spell. Once it formed, Sakura pulled out, "Windy! Form a reprimanding chain!!!!". Eclipse once on her feet touched her head which has a large bump. Her eyes darted up as wind came out of nowhere and knocked her position once more.
"I will NOT take this anymore!!!!!!", screeched the minion as she gracefully landed on her feet before landing on the floor. She placed her two palms out and screamed, "Sheer Dark Engulf!!!". Sakura, meanwhile, was reaching out for Windy, which returned into a card form, but as she touched the card, rumbling could be heard surrounding her.
"Eh?", she looked up and black substance was covering the large field that she was trapped in. Back in the crowd of students, everyone awed at what's happening but of course the ones who are in fear can't get to the one who's in distress. Teachers went up and down the now black dome but couldn't find any resolution.
"Sakura-chan....", Tomoyo moaned as the student sea rivet her to her spot. All she could see were student heads.
"Everyone, please evacuate the gym immediately!!! Don't worry about Sakura for everything's going to be alright! Just go!!!". Tomoyo turned left and right to see where the voice was coming from as students began to pour all around her out through the doors. She could have sworn it was......
"Tomoyo-chan, aren't you coming?", Naoko was about to pass her.
"I am going to wait for Sakura-chan. She needs all the support she can get! Plus, I bet I'm missing on some kawaii footage!!!", Tomoyo instantly clapped her hands together and her eyes became starry. Naoko puzzled at that, "Then I'll wait with you if you don't mind! I'm sure Sakura-chan was taken by some kind of ghost so I might as well get a chance to see what kind of ghost it is", she stared out at the dome with a longing look.
"Naoko-chan....no......you can't! I'm-", before she could say anything else, another person advanced the two girls.
"You both shouldn't be here you know!! Even the teachers were ordered to leave!!", Sabatoshi-sensei was smiling at the same time her eyes told of something different. Tomoyo looked at her worriedly before getting the strange feeling, 'Sabatoshi-sensei knows something....'. She began to smile as well and grabbed a hold of Naoko's hand, "Come on!! We gotta go!!!! Arigato Sabatoshi-sensei! Make sure Sakura-chan comes back in one piece!!".
"Tomoyo-chan......demo, don't you want to wait for Sakura-chan?".
"I think Sakura-chan's invincible spell can hold off for now.....like sensei said, she'll be alright!". Naoko gave her strange looks again as they joined the crowd of mixed students.
"Un!!", Sakura squeaked as she jumped for her life around the black dome making her own vision totally empty. She came across the beam a few times but tried carefully not to trip over it. There was no sign of the minion anywhere. 'Wait a minute! Why am I jumping crazily in the first place....?'. She made a short leap to the floor and the 'Jump' returned to its original form.
"Light!! Illuminate this darkness!!!". Once the bright light covered over the dome, Sakura scanned the area. Her eyes widened to see the rest of the gym clearly in front of her. Only it's empty except of one person.
"Sword!!", she clasped the staff/sword tightly and slashed the dome gracefully. Once through, Sakura looked back to see that the dome was wavering until it was no more. 'Ho-e?', Sakura's eyes began to swirl again.
"I see.........little girl. You're strong enough to surpass my 'Dark Spell' so I might as well eat you up!", Eclipse growled as she took step by step toward the dazed card mistress. Sakura's eyes adjusted back to normal and gazed at the minion in confusion, "NANI?".
"HAI!", Eclipse leaped into the air and send some kind of power punch toward Sakura who only stood there dumbfounded staring at the blue speck coming her way.
"Don't just stand there!! Do something BAKA!!!!", screamed a voice in the distance of the gym. Sakura saw at the corner of her eye, Syaoran, who was rushing toward her, "?". She lifted up her staff and the 'Sword' returned. Her eyes became determined as she summoned the next card.
"Shadow! Help conceal what is known!!", the hooded spirit flown up into the air and became a big blob of black more like paint. It shot out toward Eclipse who only moved to her left once it came an inch of her face. "Is that all you got? Eh?", Enigma noticed that her power punch never even reached the cherry blossom. In fact, the power punch was just floating in midair as if......"Time! Return to your original form!", Sakura exclaimed with dignity. She was standing to the right of Eclipse as Syaoran was on the other side. The blue bolt zoomed ahead and clashed into the wall leaving a small crater. "So your 'Shadow' was a mere decoy? Smart! Well gal, I got nothing else to say but this!!", Eclipse opened her mouth and white light formed inside it. Before Sakura could summon 'Shield', she was swept into the air and floated behind Eclipse. She looked toward Syaoran who was glaring at her as usual and did nothing but shout, "Listen, the only reason I saved you was because of the cards so don't give me any thanks whatsoever to think I am actually giving you some kind of acknowledgement!!!", he placed the blushing Sakura onto her feet and turned his head to face the minion. Eclipse already shot her beam that made the second crater in the wall which was eventually bigger. Sakura looked down a bit in disappointment at what Syaoran said. She was hoping that his mood earlier showed signs that he was willing to open up. "Well, hurry up!!!", Syaoran gave his official scowl that made Sakura sweat drop. Eclipse turned her head to face the pair now mad as ever. She opened her mouth and was about to fire another beam.
"Syaoran-kun.......what can defeat an 'eclipse'?"
"You're asking for help at the wrong time!! Solve it yourself!!", Syaoran grabbed hold of Sakura and moved both of them out to safety. Sakura couldn't believe what he said. She felt her world turning when they reached the floor. Suddenly, Eclipse came flying at full speed not toward Sakura but the person beside her. Without warning, she barged into him and Syaoran was flung out the door. "Syaoran-kun!!!!!!", Sakura cried as Eclipse grinned at her accomplishment. The minion's attention was back on the card mistress. Sakura quivered before the thought struck her.
"Light!! Illuminate this minion!!!", she called out wondering why, for the second time of the day, she never thought of this at the very beginning. Light began to swirl around Eclipse before the minion began to run out of Light's glow aura. Unfortunately, she wasn't fast enough to beat the Sakura card for it wrapped around her again. "I.....can.......not........be beaten to a LITTLE GIRRLLL!!", Eclipse struggled with Light but she could not go any further than ten inches. Light's power was draining her every strength until she was no more than a shard. The shard fell to the floor and turned into a blue ball of light surprising Sakura even more. Once the light vanished, Sakura retrieved Light thanking it for giving its best.
A groan could be heard and out came Syaoran from the door way. He placed a hand on his forehead, "Now I'm the one with a headache", groaned and leaned against the door post. "Daijoubu?", asked a worried voice. Syaoran took a glance at Sakura, "Why would you care? It's not like I have to be asked that every time a strange demon appears!", he snapped grunting at the end. "Sakura-chan!!", called two voices as a pair of girls ran heading in the direction of the doorway. Sakura looked over Syaoran's shoulder loosing her sad expression into a smile, "Tomoyo-chan! Naoko-chan!!!".
"Sakura-chan, what happened? Did a ghost get you?", Naoko had to badly ask that. Sakura shook her head not loosing one inch of her faith, "It was just a scary demon who let me go!".
"It didn't appear that way!!", Tomoyo inquired knowing Sakura was trying her best with her lie. Sakura nodded as she led her friends away from the gym. She quickly turned to see if Syaoran was following with scowling eyes but her own eyes took in surprise for he was gone. Naoko watching, slightly disappointed that a ghost didn't appear but at least something scary enough to thrill her, asked Sakura, "Something wrong?". Sakura looked back and gave a smile, "Nothing! Just thought something caught my eyes back in the gym but it's just a simple imagination".
"Maybe Sakura's fear of ghosts got better to her head?", Tomoyo commented as she pulled out….her camcorder. "Tomoyo-chan!!!!!!!", Sakura became freaked and flattened herself against the wall. "You know you're cute when you look scared Sakura-chan", Tomoyo gave her own smile as she zoomed the camcorder up to Sakura's face. Sakura didn't have time to protest for many students were coming back. Soon, the corridor was crowded with puzzled students who many of them were questioning 'Cherry Blossom' every single second. The only response she could give them was, "A monster out of nowhere!" and then another common question was only responded, "Uh, the monster almost had me but something saved me so quick, it was hard to tell what it was and the monster was gone!". Voices began to hurt her ears the more students wanted to know what truly happened.
"What's all the commotion?", the school's principal and head master came into the scene witnessing a swarm of students with a few teachers trying to calm the activity. Then the principal spotted Sakura quickly noticing she was the one causing the situation. He headed over, followed by a staff member, to calm the noisy corridor while trying to communicate with the girl, "I heard a demon attack upon you", as soon as he arrived, he bowed.
"Hai!", she piped as she bowed when seeing him. She never really met him in person all her life at Tomoeda Junior High. Everyone said that he was a monster himself but it didn't seem that way. "Students come from all over just to hear the truth but don't worry! It will fade! ".
"Arigato for the advice!", she began to scream. Kids were pouring from one direction twisting her body to face the other way. Sakura could no longer see either Tomoyo or Naoko. The principal himself couldn't control the crowd and was bounced off to the wall where he joined teachers who were stuck in the same situation. She began to groan for she didn't want to use it but there was no other choice but summoning the Sakura Card Staff and announce, "TIME!! Freeze the dimensions!" Students were about to turn their heads toward Sakura but it was too late. Sakura was able to get through their stiff bodies like a maze out into an open corridor. She summoned the card back and sweat dropped to watch as kids stopped shuffling around just to look for where the magic happened. Question marks began to appear out into the air. This was a chance for the staff to gather up the students and divide them up, which took nearly one hour, into their prospective class/grade. Sakura went last as she was reunited with Tomoyo and her other friends. Kids still gave her quizzed looks but nothing came out of everyone's mouths for their journey back to their classrooms was as quiet as the empty corridors themselves.
The gym was off limits for the rest of the day little did anyone know, Sabatoshi was having a bit fun on the beam itself. She began to stand on her arms and her feet flew to the air perfectly straight but she felt a bit crimson on her cheeks. After all, she was wearing a tight skirt.
"Enjoying yourself?", a voice wryly asked as it entered into her head.
"ACK!!", Sabatoshi's face went rosy red as she fell onto the gym's floor. "I guess that should be a 'yes'", the voice went on as the figure in blue stepped out of a doorway that lead from the boys' locker room. "I miss doing things like this but NO! You always have to come and ruin my fun!!', Sabatoshi began to pout as she tried her best to flatten her skirt. "Well excuse me if I have to come in at a time like this but a meeting's to be held"
"I WANNA BE A KID AGAIN!!!", Sabatoshi whined as she felt the figure grab hold of her shoulder and pull her through a vortex that appeared in a blink in front of him. The figure sighed as he felt his bundle squirm and kick leaving him with a small sweat drop on his head. Ever since she was awakened, he had no idea how she's changed in this life.
"Chigiri Mushas……you're time will soon come one by one".
-----
"I'm home!!", Sakura yelled as she got through the door. No one was there to greet her. She sweat dropped forgetting that her otou-san was out on another usual business and to always kick herself that her annoying onii-chan is at a university now. She then walked into the living room and gazed at her chore board. The board that had destined her life, ever since she could remember, in order to do the proper things around the household. Her eyes switched to a glare also reminding herself that she's the only Kinomoto child left with the board. "Onii-chan!!!", she screamed rising her fist to the air. "Oi! Sakura!! Didn't think you'll be back so soon!!", Kero popped up beside her. "Kero-chan!! Ho-e? Do you think otou-san decided to leave me with so much work that I practically die wanting the world to end (**no connection to X). Is that what he thinks me to do other than the homework that's given to me!? And do you know anything about this? 'Kitchen warped. Please clean it'………what does he mean?".
"Uh heh heh…", Kero sweat dropped looking from his mistress to the kitchen doorway, "There's something you have to be warned of…..". Sakura followed to where Kero's looking and walked toward the dining room area/kitchen itself. She stopped at the dining table with eyes of pure terror and then to the kitchen. Dishes were laying all over, bubbles seem to have stick to the floor, pots were stained, pans were burnt, cups and plates laying around were soaked, the rice cooker was sitting in the middle of the kitchen floor, and add in the Sakura Card Mistress for amazing terror of a kitchen disaster from a war. She instantly turned and walked back to the board. Kero didn't move at all from his flying spot. He looked frozen from tail to his head. Sakura sucked in and gave her loudest voice anyone could muster,
A.N.: FineFrench word!! I'm done!! I'm done!! Yeh, stuffed animal……u used her cards to destroy the kitchen…..but how?
K-chan: ………
