Konnichiwa! Here comes a new season, with new characters! ON WITH THE FIC!!

Sakura and Tomoyo were watching a video Juri (okay, here's the deal, everyone

Japanese calls Jane Juri, while her friends from America call her Jane, got that? But same

as last time, she will be referred to as Jane for the last few chapters) had sent them. It was

of Spirit Week, which had taken place in February. Sakura and Tomoyo thought Juri was

a great dancer, and they saw her lip-syncing to the song they were dancing to. (I do not

own "Walking in the Middle of Main Street USA" [I think that's what it's called]) The

words had Japanese subtitles as well:

I'm walking right down the middle of Main Street USA

It's the heart of America, the heartbeat of a holiday

The place was made with a magical plan; and just around the corner is a
fantasyland

I'm walking right down the middle of Main Street USA

I hear the music playing from the old time Ragtime Band

I feel the whole place swaying with the people from across the land

You see the greatest smiling faces up and down the street; it's remarkable
how friendly

all the people can be

I'm walking right down the middle of Main Street USA

Boys: Tell your mother, she's not to worry,

Cause no one's rushing; there's no big hurry

Girls: You're never alone or left out in the cold

All: There's always someone there, to pick you up

I'm walking right down the middle of Main Street USA

I know it's no illusion; it's a dream that's here to stay

For the time you ought to find yourself here; you're welcome anytime you
have the mind

to appear

I'm walking down the middle of Main Street USA

(Interlude)

I'm walking right down the middle of Main Street USA

I know it's no illusion; it's a dream that's here to stay

For the time you ought to find yourself here; you're welcome anytime you
have the mind

to appear

I'm walking down the middle, right down the middle

I'm walking right-down the middle of- Main-Street-U-S-A

(Down the middle) Down the middle

(I'm walking right down the middle) Right down the middle

(Down the middle) Down the middle

(I'm walking right down the middle) Right down the middle

I'm walking right down the middle of Main Street USA

Sakura was amazed at how well Jane could dance. There was only one other

dance as well as hers. Jenny was in that, and her group was lip-syncing "True to Your

Heart" from Mulan (I do not own it, and I WILL NOT POST THE LYRICS!!). They had

graphics added to theirs, though, and according to Juri's letter, that would count as extra

credit, therefore getting higher points. Michelle had done the Jeopardy part, and was

therefore not in any of the lip-sync groups. Tomoyo looked starry-eyed at the costumes.

"I could get some interesting ideas from those"; she began to flip through a book that was

in English. Sakura face faulted anime style. Then it was over. The camera then panned to

the score sheet. Juri's team was on the top, followed by Jenny's, then some other teams

came up. Sakura was pleased. "Juri-san and her friend, Smithson-san will be happy to

know how I made two trundles for them."

*FLASHBACK*

"Otou-san, will you help me make beds for Juri-san and Smithson-san?" Sakura

asked Fujitaka. He smiled. "Of course" "It's a good thing", Touya smirked, "because

then our guests won't collapse on the floor." Sakura promptly stomped on his foot

"ONII-CHAN!" she shouted at him. The other Kinomoto sibling winced at her voice and

foot. "You've been gaining weight lately, kaijobu [monster (I looked it up in a

Japanese/English dictionary, okay?)]." "Touya-kun, stop", Fujitaka reprimanded the teen.

*END FLASHBACK*

Sakura showed Tomoyo the trundles, one with a bedspread sprinkled with cherry

blossoms, roses, pinks, and other sorts of flowers; and another jade green with a forestry

scene of a maiden talking to a fish. (For those who don't understand this allusion, it refers

to the original Cinderella story. The girl was named Shen Ying with a magical fish who

gave her golden slippers). "Moto-kun is also coming, I heard", Sakura said slyly.

Tomoyo blushed. "I invited him and his friends Bakura-kun and Kamoi-san (Kamoi-san

is Shizuka. I made a mistake in the arranging of Jono's name, so I gave Shizuka another

last name). The others couldn't come. Kujaku-san and Katsuya-kun are on a vacation,

and Masaki-san has been accepted at a dancing school in New York." Fujitaka smiled to

himself sadly. Children were growing up too fast these days. Li-kun loved Sakura, and

she was dating him more often. Now it was Tomoyo's turn. Sonomi would probably hate

Yugi for taking her daughter away. He felt sorry for the boy. "Clow!" the girl called.

He looked back. "Fa Ying", he started. "Ying-Fa, Clow" the girl brushed blossoms from

her dress. "Why don't you call me that? Cherry blossoms are your favorite types of

flowers." (Quick note: Ying-Fa means cherry blossom in Chinese, and in China last

names come first) He laughed. "To annoy you", he barely avoided a large thorn from his

mother's apprentice. Ying gritted her teeth. "One day you will not regard me as just an

apprentice", she said. Clow smiled. Ying had always tried to compete with him just

because he had created two guardians, Cerberus and Yue when he had been only ten.

They now looked at the immature thirteen-year olds in the distance. "She feels for him",

Yue's voice was soft. "Jealous, are you?" Cerberus teased. Then Clow appeared behind

them. "Spying on us?" his voice carried a gentle yet firm tone. "Clow!" Ying beckoned

to him. Clow gasped in surprise. Ying had made a ring of friendship for him. It was gold,

and it held a pink lotus encircled with leaves. "Promise you won't ever take it off", she

said, "Promise.promise." "Otou-san, is something wrong?" Sakura looked worriedly at her father. Her

father held a frown. "Is Eriol coming over spring break?" he asked. Sakura nodded.

"Good", Fujitaka looked into space, "I need to ask him something.

Michelle introduced Mokuba and Kaiba to her cousin from Lokh, Liuka Pataur.

(Liuka, to provide a description, looks like a Goth but isn't. She has also blonde hair, but

it's tinted dark brown at the ends. She is also a champion duelist, even better than

Michelle. Her one dream is to defeat Yugi Moto. And she is from Michelle's mothers

side of the family, which means she's also a cinemopho like Michelle, but her ability is

different, making inanimate objects real. Michelle is currently teaching her how to use

her powers.) Liuka was an exchange student who had studied English as a second

language. She greeted them both very warmly in her best Japanese, but to Mokuba, it

looked like a thin sheet when talking to Seto. Then Michelle asked, "Could you tell us

more about this new Duel Monsters tournament, Kaiba-kun?" Liuka asked. "You can

speak in English, and here's an article about it", Kaiba held up a newspaper. Michelle

looked at it in dismay. "Seto-kun, it's in Japanese", she said. "It's okay", Mokuba said,

"I'll get an English version. Do you want to come?" "Iie", Liuka said politely, but

Michelle said, "Hai." She ran with Mokuba to the elevator. Liuka looked at Kaiba

squarely in the eye. "Whatever you do, Kaiba", she said in threatening English (which

was even more threatening with her faint Lokhian accent), "I don't want you to hurt

Michelle. She's only a child, and I don't want her to become an adult too fast. Wait for a

while." She thought sorely, It's him she loves. She loves me also, but it's not the love I

want (Card Captor Sakura fans find this familiar?)

"What's with Pataur-san?" Mokuba asked Michelle as they made their way into

the elevator. Michelle said she didn't know. "I remember when she first came to our

school."

*FLASHBACK*

"Look, it's Miss Duelist", a boy snickered. "Ignore them", Michelle said firmly,

"They just haven't seen a girl like you before." Liuka shrugged. "Why am I not

surprised?" "Hey, Liuka, I challenge you to a duel!" another boy called. The girl turned

on him. "Do you mean it?" her face flashed a dangerous smile. The boy's innocent smile

faded slightly. "Sure." They got to a table. It was short and sweet. By the end, Liuka had

used her Harpy's Angel to attack directly. From then on, people treated her as one of their

own. When people dueled her, it was to get better. Not one person had ever managed to

beat her.

*END FLASHBACK*

"So from then on, she's been like that since?" Michelle nodded. If there was

anything Michelle didn't know, it was love. True she knew crushes, and families, but she

never knew true love. "I guess it's a difficult subject", she admitted. Suddenly the lights

went off in the elevator. A voice ringed through, "It was an interesting conversation I

heard." "Who are you, and what do you want?" Mokuba asked "That is my concern."

"How long are you going to keep us here?" Michelle was suspicious. That voice sounded

familiar, but she couldn't remember-"Only for a minute". The floor disappeared, and

Michelle and Mokuba screamed as they fell into darkness.
