The Star of Death
A/N: Thank you for the reviews, constructive criticism is always welcome, but please no flaming. Hikagi: thank you especially for the suggestion, I will work on that. Although, I think descriptive writing is a little overrated and can get really boring after awhile. You start spending an entire paragraph just describing the color of someone's eyes and I just don't like killing space like that. (*) Is called an asterisk, I just like using simple words. I'm not as dumb as I seem. I don't know if 'aiyaa' means anything in Korean but I know it's a commonly used word in Chinese to describe frustration, annoyance, fear, and similar emotions. Trust me, I'm Chinese so I use it a lot. As do my mother and father and occasionally my brother, so yea. The uploader thingy deletes my dots too X_X I'm angry now..
Chapter 3: Syaoran Explains
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Wherever Wei and Syaoran Lived~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sakura and Tomoyo have gone into Syaoran's house now for some tea. Syaoran is in the kitchen putting the tealeaves in the pot and bringing it to the dining table.
"So what brings you to my home?" he inquired as he served the tea.
Sweat drops appear on Sakura and Tomoyo's heads again. "Well..um..Sakura sensed a strange aura about you at school and thought you were a magician. And I really wanted to find out so I thought we could follow you home and just..sorta watch you.
Wei's eyebrow shot up. "So you have stalkers now, Master Syaoran. And only on the first day!"
"You couldn't have just asked me?" asked Syaoran with a puzzled expression on his face.
Tomoyo got the I-Told-You-So look again. "That what I wanted to do! But noooo..Sakura-chan was too embarrassed to go up and ask."
Sakura was shocked and said, "I was not embarrassed! I just didn't think it was a good idea in case he wasn't a magician. He'd think we were crazy if he wasn't one."
Tomoyo giggled and nudged Sakura. "And of course, you wouldn't want Li-kun to think badly of you," taunted Tomoyo with a suggesting look.
Sakura's face turned bright red.
"What's wrong? Your face is red. Are you sick?" asked Syaoran.
She answered, "U-um..no. I'm alright. It's just kinda cold."
Now it was Wei's turn to speak up. "I think it's time for these two young ladies to return home. You parents must be worried. Come on, I'll drive you."
"Okay, thank you, Wei." Said Tomoyo as she and Sakura started for the door.
"Well..I'll see you tomorrow at school then, Li-kun?" Sakura asked hopefully.
He gave her a warm smile. "See you tomorrow."
Tomoyo rolled her eyes. "Come on, Sakura-chan, come on."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Place Where Wei Dropped Them Off~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"This is it, girls. Time to get off."
Wei gets out and opens the door for Sakura and Tomoyo. They step out slowly and thank him. Wei drives off into the distance.
"Tomoyo, we could've gotten into a lot of trouble today."
"I know."
"We're just very lucky that Li-kun didn't call the police or anything."
"I know."
"We won't do anything crazy like this ever again, alright?" prompted Sakura.
"Alright, I promise." She said. Although Sakura knew Tomoyo all too well to know that she would always keep on with her ridiculous schemes and Sakura would always tag along to watch out for her. She didn't really mind; that's what friends were for after all. Plus, the outcome of the schemes often turned out rather funny.
They said their goodbyes and walked home.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Next Day At School~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Tomoyo and Sakura are walking around the lunch area looking for a spot again. Sakura spots Syaoran and suddenly turns the other way and starts walking.
"Sakura-chan, where are you going? I thought we were going to sit over there."
Sakura points her eyes in the direction they were originally going.
"Hey look, there's Li-kun!" said Tomoyo.
"I know, and I don't really want to talk to him because it might be kind of..awkward."
"How are you going to avoid running into him? He's coming right this way." She asked.
"Yea, I see that. Let's sneak past him and pretend we don't notice."
They attempt to avoid him but as they walk past him he notices them.
"Hey Kinomoto-san and Daidouji-san!" called Syaoran.
Tomoyo and Sakura turn around slowly when they hear his voice. "Hello, Li-kun."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Sitting Down at Lunch Table~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sakura, Tomoyo, and Syaoran are now sitting together at a lunch table talking.
"Oh Li-kun, I meant to ask you this last night at your house, why did you move to Tomoeda?" said Sakura.
He hesitated for a bit but then finally asked, "Have you ever heard of the Star of Death?"
"No, what is it?" she answered. Tomoyo is in the background listening to their conversation.
"It's something dangerous that's coming to Earth. My mother and father, who are on the Mage's Council have sent me here to help stop it."
"Is it a giant white ball of light? Cause I had a dream about something like that coming to Earth. Everyone was scared in it." Sakura said.
"No one really knows what it's going to look like..but it's probably going to be something to that effect. You said you dreamed about it?" Syaoran sounded surprised.
"Yea, it was just a few days ago."
"It must be a prophetic dream." Murmured Syaoran. "What magician rank are you?"
"I'm a Magus. What are you?"
He smiled. "Sorcerer." His rank was one higher than hers.
A/N: Sorry about the late updates. Writer's block and major homework load. I really hate my teachers. I'm probably not gonna have that much time to work on this but I'll try and update like twice a month or so.
