Chapter Two:

Eyes of Mist

Card Captor Sakura

MIST98

" Sakura.....Sakura.....SAKURA KINOMOTO!" screamed a voice.

Sakura quickly jerked out of the trance she was in and replied in a surprised voice , "Yes?"

The teacher glared at her from the top of her glasses. She sighed and scolded , "Sakura , you know I do not tolerate day dreaming in my class! Please stay after school today. You know that day dreaming does not improve your math marks!"

Sakura reddened and mumbled under her breath , " Yes , teacher."

The teacher glared at her one more time and continued her lecture to the giggling students. Sakura sighed , and began to look at the exercise that had been given to them. She felt someone's eyes upon hers and she looked up to see Tomoyo , her best friend , looking at her worriedly. Sakura sighed and smiled at Tomoyo as cheerfully as she could.

Sakura could not help feeling down. For some reason , her life did not feel complete....something was missing. She did not know what it was.. but it gave her an ache deep inside that could not be erased. It trailed after her during school , during cheerleading practice , even in her dreams. Everybody laughed around her , but her laughter was the only one that was missing.....

After school , Sakura received a quite heavy-duty lecture from her teacher. When she had left twenty minutes later , she was surprised to see Tomoyo still outside , waiting for her. Sakura cracked a smile at her best friend. Tomoyo always knew when something was up.

When Sakura neared Tomoyo she saw quite a large smile on her friends face. Instantly , Sakura backed up as Tomoyo ran up to her , hearts in her eyes.

" Hi , Sakura!!!" she screamed quite loudly in Sakura's ear.

Sakura winced and replied , " Oww...Tomoyo , give me a warning next time you do that!"

Tomoyo was jumping around , giddily , and began to swing in circles around Sakura.

" Sakura , you will not believe it. We-" she stressed the we , " Are going to....MIST98!"

She grabbed Sakura's hands and twirled around happily. Sakura looked confused. Even if she was beginning to be a bit more mature , she still was a dense girl!

"Tomoyo , where are we going?" she asked , a confused look in her emerald eyes.

Tomoyo grinned ,and repeated , " MIST98. You , Chiharu , Rika , Me , even Yamazaki are going! Remember when we went to the mall , and entered that contest?"

Sakura scrunched up her eyebrows in an effort to understand and remember.

"Yes....." Sakura remembered. Tomoyo and Sakura had been strolling in the mall , and Tomoyo had gone crazy when Sakura tried to buy a shirt. She began to yell , " I can make it much more better , and you get it for free! Look at the price! Forty dollars (sry , don't know the currency in HK!) for a freakin' shirt!"

Sakura had sweat dropped and nodded looking around for something to distract Tomoyo. They had found a contest for group of kids to be guest DJ's on the hit radio show , MIST98. It was the most popular radio show ever , and was listened to practically everyone! It played the latest songs , and even had a dating service. Chiharu , Rika and Yamazaki were already there , signing up. It was pure luck that they all won! It was to be the experience of a lifetime , for Tomoyo and Sakura found it MIST98 to be the most romantic , sugoi radio station in the world.

" We...We WON?!?" Sakura cried , and for the first time in a long time , laughed. She began to jump up and down , and Tomoyo smiled , seeing the girl she had always known show through. Sakura was a cheerful , dense girl , but these days , turned quite serious. It made Tomoyo happy to see her like this.

The two girls held hands and jumped up and down , and their laughs tinkled through the air traveling throughout the world , bringing smiles and happiness to the most serious of folk. Cherry blossoms flew through the air , delicate and beautiful , swirling around in heart shapes , signaling the beginning of love season.

"Sakura your friends are here! HURRY UP! Are you still sleeping?!?"

An angry voice shouted. Sakura put a pillow over her ears before processing what her brother had said. She leapt up from the bed meeting the eyes of her giggling friends and her angry brother.

" I AM SO SORRY! Gomen nasai , but I just had to sleep in , I was having the most wonderful dream..." she trailed off , as she began looking for something to wear , hurriedly flipping clothes behind her , her face strained.

Touya ushered her friends out of the doorway , muttering , " Little Kaijuu!" under his breath. Of course , Sakura awarded him with a traditional stomp on the foot. Touya was surprised. These days , Sakura seemed so distant....she never stomped her foot on his for a long time...he was actually beginning to miss it. OF course , now as he limped away , he wondered what had happened to his head through those days.

Sakura raced around her room , quickly taking a shower , putting on a white skirt and a pink shirt. She put pink clips in her short auburn hair and didn't bother with make up. What was the need for that junk?

Sakura felt an excitement that she missed in her life. Something told her that this day was one she would never forget. Something that would fill that empty void in her heart , and fill it with the happiness and fulfillment she desperately needed.

" I'm ready!" Sakura yelled as she raced down the stairs , full of hyper excitement. It was quite amazing that Sakura had convinced her father and brother to let her go. Sakura loved her father dearly...yet Fujitaka was a strict , overprotective man and wanted her daughter to be happy....but ignored the things that made her happy , and gave her things that made her mother happy. Sakura was saddened , because she knew her father was reminded of Nadeshiko whenever he looked at her , but Sakura wanted her father to understand...she wasn't Nadeshiko..

" Father , I'm leaving!" Sakura yelled , and her father hugged her.

" Take good care , daughter." Fujitaka replied , smiling at his daughter. Sakura smiled at him , and ran out the door with Tomoyo.

a/n: This is confusing... I know. The next chapter will be where Syaoran and Sakura meet..or rather hear each other on the radio...oh well! This is to be a good story , whether you like it or not!
