Kirika: HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!! I'M BACK!!!!!! After a few weeks of good
behavior and lots of works that needed to be researched on the Internet, my
mother reconsidered her decision and restored my connection!!!!
Suppi: and I thought I'd have some real vacation...
Kirika: ; p Do you think I care to what you think? No way! I don't even know why do I still keep you here.. I should've called Kero, instead.
Suppi: #really jealous# THAT YELLOW AND GREEDY PLUSH TOY, BETTER THAN ME??????
Kirika: at least he wouldn't push me down like you do...
Suppi: I'm just being sincere...
Kirika: Keep your thoughts to yourself if it's not relevant...
My special thanks to: I Love Li Syaoran (I can't say you are wrong, but it's not that too... too confusing? It'll be explained sometime soon^^), Dark WOLFdRaGON, Gen (thanks for the warning, second chapter was really confusing... I'm not sure if it's more comprehensible now, but I tried....), and LicyBabe2002 (thanks for the tips, and I'm trying not to rush it... anyways, I can barely have 2 decent chapters within a month..... _ _')

Chapter 4 Review:
"I'm grateful for all you've done to me, but.. I'm not a baby anymore, and even if I can't defeat them, I'd rather die trying than running" her voice cold and harsh. She banged her hands on the table, and stood up. "Thanks for all miss. But if you don't agree with it, I'll do it by myself." 'As it has always been' #walking towards the exit#
"Wait! You know you'll die out there! Your training isn't complete yet!"
"As if it matters to you...." she answered, banging the door behind.
Chapter 5
Guests?
The night was cool, the hot summer breeze blowing through her hair, as she ran through empty streets, tears flowing, blurring her vision, until she got to a familiar light gray building. She entered it, taking a blue key from the khaki cargo skirt.
'One, two, three, right, up, up, up, up, third floor!'
A moment before the key entered the lock, something froze her for a millisecond, but then it was normal again. Or let's say..... as normal as could be.
The door opened slowly, with a creepy sound, but the lights were already on. The living room looked normal, but a misplaced teapot with cups revealed her who was there. The presence she felt couldn't be disguised that easy at all, so she knew exactly where to look for.
"I know you are here, don't try to scare me... it won't work this time.." she was walking calmly through the corridor, trying to determine where was the presence. Right in the middle of it she stopped, in doubt between two doors, when a warm hand held her arm, pushing her trough the ceiling to the penthouse (a/n the floor was for her exclusive use, k? just to let you know.). She yelled in surprise, and anger.
"Not even if I did this?" a deep male voice whispered in her ear.
"Very funny, but I think walking through the walls was not permitted while playing hide-n-seek.."
"There's been a long time since I've last played to the rules.. And it was no fun at all. However, you have to admit you were not prepared for it now."
"Looking at you it even seems it's been centuries.. Right, right, I was not, but what brings you here, powerful master?"
"I'm here just to distract you for a while.. "
"Yes, and to change my mind about fighting them all alone."
"Well.. I thought it was Kaho's duty to do it. Didn't she?"
"*Sigh* You know her... nothing in the world would make her patience last for too long with me when it comes about them. I think I did what was the best, even if she doesn't."
"It is up to you, y' know the consequences. But it would be better for me, no! for us, if you did what we say.."
"Please, not again, I still have classes tomorrow morning. Are you going to stay here, will you go back to England or settle down somewhere?" #yawn#
"I'll stay here for the night, my stuff must be arriving by tomorrow. I've already prepared my room, so you have no need to worry about it. Now get some sleep, it's been a long day.."
"Did the guardians come with you?"
"Yes, but they are with Kaho... I thought it would be better, since Nakuru's hyper mood could annoy you.."
"Thanks for considering it. Oyasuminasai, Eriol-kun"
"Oyasumi, Yumi-chan"
--------- Later that Night------- (man, how can 24 hours last this much????)
#Yumiko's dream#
"Come on Yumi-chan!!! I'll show you the way!" a blue haired boy in formal clothes yelled. (Don't you have any idea?)
"Wait, I'll just tell okaa-san we are going to the woods! Wait for me!" responded a girl with dark green, shoulder length hair, with two longer locks that reached her waist crisscrossed and a light blue dress, with matching shoes and hair laces.
The 3 year old girl ran to the house, a beautiful English mansion, actually, a small (not that much for three people, but compared to other castles..) ancient castle restored to shelter the family of the Japanese ambassador, Akira Yamamoto, his wife Nuriko and their daughter Yumiko. Its four towers stood proudly, dominating the landscape from the top of the hill. The arched drawbridge was constantly down, for there was no real danger around, and in front of it a well-cared flower field with a fountain was placed. Around it there were some lamb farms, which constituted their only neighborhood, and behind it, woods hide a large lake, probably an escape route centuries before.
A few minutes later the girl came running happily with a little basket.
"Mom told that we can't go too far, and sent this for us to eat"
"Let's go then? Or else we won't be able to reach it till dawn."
"Sure!" she whistled and a collie came to follow them.
They went to the forest, and walked for nearly an hour when they reached a clearing, with strawberry bushes near a small fountain.
"Kirei!!! Eriol-kun, when did you find this place? It's beautiful!!" she said, twirling around herself, absorbing the breathtaking beauty of the place her friend took her to.
"It was in the last day of my vacation last year, and I had no time to show nobody then. anyway I had no one to show it. It's even better now."
"Wow! Thank you!" she said, kissing his cheek.
"Ewww! Don't do that!"
"Sorry. Get some strawberries while I prepare the picnic!"
"Yes, little lady.."
"Heheheh! You are funny!"
"Why?" he said, while washing the strawberries in the little fountain.
"You act like big people do, but you are still a child like me.. And when you show it, it's like you are hiding behind the grown up you.."
"Never noticed." He replied in a somewhat cold tone.
"Sorry."
"Never mind, what kind of sweet do you have?"
"Chocolate truffles with cherry or strawberry, pudding and biscuits!"
"Sounds good to me! Let's eat!"
In a few minutes they were done.
"What should we do next?" he asked
"Show me some magic?"
"Hmm.. Alright, what would you like to see?"
"I'd like to have a white little bunny.. I always wanted to have one, but mom does not allow me. But if it comes from you or your parents, she won't be able to refuse.."
"Alright! There goes a little bunny for you!" he recited some magical words, and from a burst of light in the grass a white rabbit appeared.
"Waaaaaai!!!! Thank you Eli!"
"No more kisses today, right?" he said, seeing her motion towards him.
"Hmm.. Ok. Let's go home? It's getting late.."
"Your wish is an order." He got the basket, put the little bunny in there and took hold of her hand, when he felt something really powerful coming from the castle. He could not distinguish the auras very well, but it looked like their parents were fighting someone very bad.
"Eriol-kun? Are you still there? Earth to Eriol-kun!!"
"Yumi-chan, I think it would be better if we stayed here for a little while.
"Doushite?"
"Maybe something not that good is happening now, it's better for us to wait."
"Are they in danger? Don't hide it from me!!!"
"I am not sure, maybe they are just arguing again.." he lied "talking about hiding, let's play hide-n-seek?"
"Well, if there's nothing left to be done.. But I want to be back to the castle by sunset!"
"Sure, milady! I will count to 30, and then search you."
"Ok, but no magic this time!"
"Right, no magic."
They played until the forest started to get scary for Yumiko, but Eriol was not sure if they really should go back, since the fight seemed to last longer than he expected, but Yumiko insisted so much he had no more arguments to stay in the woods. They were a hundred yards from the castle when a black form flew in the sky, laughing like a demon, and threw a ball of energy that surrounded the castle, blowing it up.
"That's what you take from defying Kurd!"
"Mommy!! Daddy!!" she tried to run to see if they were fine, when Eriol held her wrist.
"Sorry, Yumi.. They are all dead. But the thing is still there and may be searching for us. We'd better hide in the woods until it's safe enough to come back. Let's go." His expression was blank, and the words, mechanic.
'No, it can't be true, it can't be! He's lying! Mom! Dad!'
#Yumiko's bedroom#
"Mommy. Daddy.." she whispered, tears staining the pillow, her body covered in cold sweat.
"Sshhh.. It's alright now, it will soon be over, Yumi-chan.." Eriol said, caressing her hair. She woke up, and still crying, sat on the bed.
"*Sniff* why does it keeps repeating in my mind? When I close my eyes, all I can hear is that damned laughter! #Crying harder# Why does it follow me? For what does it want me?"
"I don't know either, but when it comes we will be ready to defeat it, don't worry.."
"But how? We are just teenagers, and even our four parents together weren't able to destroy it, how will just the two of us do it? Worst, since you don't want to fight, it will be all to me!" she had a desperate look in her wet face, which made her look even more unreal than normal.
"Don't worry, it will be alright.. It will be alright..", he said, holding her and rocking back and forth to help her relax and sleep.
'Because it won't be just the two of us.. Not this time.'
To be continued.....
Kirika: if you read the first version of this chapter, you'll notice I've added a few little things (like a page or four, something like that ^^), and also, I've established a minimum of pages for each chapter, since I Love Li Syaoran said they are being too short (well, you are right, my last 3 were tooo short.)... Hmmm.. What else? Well, I think that's it, but I want a minimum of 15 reviews (that means, only 7 more.. it's not that much, is it?) until I put the next chapter.. After all, I still need some feedback, and I'd like to have some opinions about the pairings.. Because depending on what you say, I may pair some people up or not.. S+S are untouchable, but the rest can be moved according to my will, so I'd like to know what you think about them..
I'll start with Eriol since he is the worst one..
EriolxKaho
Pros: well, they love each other, it is destiny! (as you see, it's not one of my favorite ones, but you rule!)
Cons: the age difference (Wasn't him a teenager I wouldn't complain that much, but still.. It's weird!)
EriolxTomoyo
Pros: the most loved one. Their personalities are so similar it seems they were made to each other, which in majority's opinion (mine too!!) is true.
Cons: almost none, but they are so sweet, and perfect that can get boring.. and usually persons with too similar to each other don't work that well together (self experience..).
EriolxYumiko
Pros: a shared childhood trauma, besides the fact that he cares a lot for her since she brings his Eriol side up, instead of seeing him only as Clow's reincarnation (if you don't like it, no problem, it's just an option!)
Cons: they are cousins, blood stuff.. She is a new girl, he and Tomoyo sounds better. Besides, what do I do with the other two if she is chosen? It would be interesting..
Suppi: and I thought I'd have some real vacation...
Kirika: ; p Do you think I care to what you think? No way! I don't even know why do I still keep you here.. I should've called Kero, instead.
Suppi: #really jealous# THAT YELLOW AND GREEDY PLUSH TOY, BETTER THAN ME??????
Kirika: at least he wouldn't push me down like you do...
Suppi: I'm just being sincere...
Kirika: Keep your thoughts to yourself if it's not relevant...
