A/N: Weehoo! Another chapter^_^ I have a lot of ideas for this story, so it'll probably be long.. or maybe that's just my short chapters^^;; gomen ne. They will get longer once I get farther into the story. Thanks to all those who take the time to review my story^^ arigatou~~ And I saw the Jap. Metropolis w/ Eng. Subtitles in Boston :-) Oh and my dad's buying me the 'Spirited Away' DVD! Wai wai! For any of you who haven't seen it, it's an awesome movie and you should see it! I'd see the Japanese version though, b/c it's the original and is better :p Ok.. better stop there before I start ranting about dubs.. (Well, since it was released in theaters, the dub for Spirited Away is pretty good I heard) And here's Chapter Six: Blurred..

The shadowed figure paced back forth in the dim room racking his mind for ideas. This wasn't supposed to happen. Why hadn't he been informed of this earlier? He paused for a moment and looked out the glass window that oversaw the city. People milled about far below him, going about their everyday business without a care in the world. They had no idea..
"Sir?" a voice said from behind him. If the man was surprised, he didn't show it.
"Do you have the documents?" he said simply, without turning around.
"Yes. Everything is in there."
"Good. You can leave the papers with me."
The figure took that as his dismissal and after a small sound of shuffling and, the presence was gone. The man checked his watch and counted down the seconds. A knocking was heard on the door.
"Come in."
A 'fwpp!' sound was heard. The figure smiled at this.
"You always are inclined to make an entrance, are you not," he remarked. Then his tone became serious.
"How does the mission go?"
"It goes well, Sir.." The new figure bowed formally behind him and hesitated a little.
The man sensed his wavering pause.
"So have you found the carrier as of yet?"
"No, Sir, we have not, " He paused and went on, "We did know that the last carrier died of cancer a decade ago, but thus, none of the scans we have performed have detected the next one. The woman that was the last carrier did have a child, but it was a male and as you know it only passes down through females. It also adds to the fact that -"
"Silence," the man ground out. "All of this I am already aware of."
The figure fell silent. Massaging his temples, the man turned away.
"Continue with the mission. You may leave now"
The presence disappeared, this time without a sound accompanying it.
The man turned and looked out the window once more. Down at the nicely clad business woman who strode into a building. Down at the small child kicking a soccer ball down the sidewalk and laughing with his friends. Down at old man looking on the scene with amusement. He looked down and saw them all, and noted with satisfaction that they could not see him. He was thirteen stories up.
They had no idea.. and perhaps that was a good thing.

Syaoran hurried down the street, though he was not late for school. He wanted to get there early, because Eriol had found out that Rachel had cheerleading practice early this morning.
"How would you know about something like this?" Syaoran had asked.
Eriol had shrugged and said arrogantly.
"I have *connections*."
Syaoran had rolled his eyes at this.
"Yeah, whatever."
Syaoran shook his head at the memory. Eriol was a very secretive person despite his overall demeanor in the presence of others. And he wasn't completely open to Syaoran either, even when they had been best friends since they were little. A small knowing smile was commonly found on his face and it annoyed Syaoran to no end.
He slowed down to a walk, but then sped up again when he saw a familiar person ahead of him. 'Hey, it's that girl from yesterday' he thought to himself.
"Hey, wait up!" he called and saw the girl visibly stiffened at the sound of his voice.
She slowed down a little and Syaoran easily caught up to her.
"Hey, you don't need to thank me for last night. Wasn't a big deal, I'm always taking out guys like him."
Was he always this conceited? Sakura thought to herself irritably. He looked sideways at her, but she stared straight ahead.
"I don't think you heard me yesterday. The name's Syaoran." Didn't he have some one else to bother? She thought crossly.
"Funny," she retorted, wondering why she was being so bitter, "I don't remember asking for it."
He sighed with a frown.
"Why do you have to be so sour all the time?"
"Why do you have to ask so many questions?"
"Because I want to know."
"Just because you want something, it doesn't mean you're always going to get it." She snapped.
That caught Syaoran off guard and they were both silent for a while.
"You don't go to my school, " Syaoran finally said, "But I think I've seen you before. Do you go to the one a few blocks from mine, Herning's Private School for Girls?"
Sakura hesitated for a moment. He didn't know she lived on the streets. How was she supposed to say something like that? Uh, yeah, I don't go to school anymore because I'm homeless.
She must have paused for too long because he looked down at her questioningly.
"I used to.. but uh, I'm home schooled now," she said and then mentally kicked herself. Well, that sounded convincing. Why did I have to say that, he'll never believe that..
"Oh," he said, and dropped it. Sakura stared at him in disbelief. They passed by the cherry blossom park and a breeze picked up, sending a few spiraling in the air.
Syaoran frowned at himself as they walked. Why was he trying so hard to talk to this girl, who obviously didn't want his company? He didn't understand it. Last night, instinct had told him to protect her, but he was still drawn to her. He felt comfortable around her, as though she was a familiar presence to him. But that didn't make much sense, seeing as though he had never met this girl in his entire life.
Sakura was confused. Why did this guy, Syaoran insist on following her of all people? He was just some snobbish and obviously spoiled rich guy. She didn't want anything to do with a guy like.. A part of her conscience nagged her at that thought. She had been no better than him a week ago. Glancing at him, she remembered his cold voice clipping through the air the night before. Well, maybe he wasn't *so* bad. After all, he had helped her, although she hadn't needed his assistance.
"Sakura," she said.
"What?" he glanced at her and then at the cherry blossom trees, "Oh, yeah, they're-"
"No," she cut him off, "That's my name."
~*~*~*~
Everything was blurred and distorted as the pair of dark eyes slowly blinked open. 'What the hell..' he thought to himself. He tried to move, but to his confusion found that he could not. 'What the hell happened?' His eyes swiftly glanced around but that just resulted in a dizzy sensation. Closing his eyes, he shifted his head and gasped in pain. His last thought before he passed out faded into nothingness, 'What's going on here..?'
~~*~~
Listen closely, because I'll keep screaming until you understand:
I've been here, here, here forever.
What is at the end of these half-tiresome
Days that are chased by time?
~~*~~
A/N: AHHH, I'm sorry this chapter was delayed. I have sooo many tests and projects right now. I probably won't be able to update until next weekend because I have a huge Geometry project _ gack.. So anyway, last week, I went to ANIME BOSTON, and it was awesome!! I bought lots of kawaii inuyasha stuff and saw new series and music videos. I went with two of my friends and we did karaoke. Correction, UBER Karaoke. It was brilliant, I tell you. One of them actually lost her voice after the 2nd day of this. Haha, she was squeaking and rasping the last day. Tell me if any of you guys went. Oh and I have a new anime obsession. Any of you guys seen Hunter x Hunter?? Brilliant, I've only seen 14 episodes though, getting them off streamload.
Ok, before I make this author note too long, time to beg for reviews, lol.
PLEASE REVIEW!!!!!!!!!! ^________^
