Chapter 1:
School.
A raven haired girl with amethyst eyes was contemplating whether or not she should pour the bucket of water on Sakura Kinomoto's head. Deciding that this was indeed the best way to wake her younger cousin up, Tomoyo tipped the bucket of cold liquid....
"AHH!", Sakura screamed. She turned around to see what/who had poured freezing water on her to see her cousin smiling evilly down at her.
"TOMOYO! Why can't you wake me up like a normal person?!"
"Because a) You broke another alarm clock, b) I already tried the 'normal' way and c) You know perfectly well we aren't normal!"
That was true, at age 17 they were fairies from Faerie. After traveling through a portal connecting both worlds, the young faeries found themselves in Tokyo, Japan. They were now attending Tomoeda high school, where Sakura could effectively seduce the man she had fallen in love with a year ago. Sighing at yesterday's memory, Tomoyo looked at her silver wrist watch to see they had only 20 minutes to get to school.
"HOEEEE!! We're going to be late!", Sakura wailed as she rushed to the bathroom.
Tomoyo, sighing again, forgot to mention she had put the clocks ahead 20 minutes so they wouldn't be late. The still had another 40 minutes to get to school. Entering the kitchen, she opened the cupboard, pulled out the corn flakes box, got the milk from the fridge, and sat down to have her breakfast.
"You know Tomoyo, an orange would supply more vitamins and minerals than your corn flakes", Suppi said as he popped yet another orange slice in his mouth. Kero, who had raided the kitchen for a midnight snack, now sat on a little cushion eating the last 4 chocolate chunk cookies.
"You have to make more cookies today onegai shimasu!", Kero begged.
Tomoyo, smiling at both Kero and Suppi, nodded her head in understanding. Hurried footsteps were suddenly heard approaching the kitchen before a frazzled Sakura entered breathless.
"What are you doing Tomoyo! We have ten minutes left before school starts! Get your butt up and... ", Sakura stopped as she saw Tomoyo already in her school uniform.
While it was spring here in Tokyo, it was still a little on the chilly side. This was shown through the long sleeved dark purple overcoat, with the white undershirt. Finishing the ensemble was a matching dark purple skirt just above knee length.
"And what...?", Tomoyo asked as she raised her eyes while directing a spoon of corn flakes in her mouth.
Realizing Tomoyo wasn't worried at all, and that Tomoyo never got worried unless there was good reason to, Sakura calmed down.
"Nothing, nothing", she said under her breath. However, before she could go to her room to brush her tousled hair, Tomoyo flicked her hand and Sakura's light brown locks were suddenly in a ponytail.
"Tomoyo! You know we're not supposed to use our magic!", Sakura chided. Tomoyo's eyebrow twitched in annoyance.
"Keh! who's gonna catch me!", she retorted imperiously.
Unknown to the young girls, two doors away two young boys were fighting. ( A/N: Surprise, Surprise!)
"I told you not to call me that!", The amber eyed boy exclaimed hotly to the azure eyed one, as he flipped him on his back.
"Ah! My cute descendant Syaoran is hurting me!", Eriol taunted in response.
"I WARNED YOU HIIRAGIZAWA!!!", Syaoran yelled as he sat on Eriol's back and pulled his leg and arm into a body lock. Eriol, wincing in pain, didn't miss the feel of a purple aura nearby. Syaoran, letting Eriol go, got up and sniffed the air. Eriol getting up from the floor, started stretching.
"I don't know about you but I smell something burning", Syaoran said. Eriol, his eyes widening, ran in the kitchen, cursed in some obscure language, threw something in the sink and turned the water on.
"Trust Eriol to know swear words in other languages", Syaoran mused. Eriol, coming back to the living room with a guilty look on his face, looked at the time.
"So what happened now?" Syaoran asked folding his arms.
"I sorta forgot I had eggs on the stove, and they sorta caught on fire", Eriol said looking even more guilty. Syaoran promptly burst out laughing on the sofa. Eriol ignored Syaoran, looking once again at the time on the giant grandfather clock and noticed they had 20 minutes left until school started. Grabbing on to their school bags and lunch, he pointed at the clock for Syaoran, and started putting on his shoes. Running out of the dorm, they heard rustling feet behind them.
"HOE! We are soo gonna be late Tomoyo-chan!" Sakura wailed as she ran across the hall.
"Yare, yare", Tomoyo sighed as they reached the elevator, where she pressed the down button..
"Ah! Pearl of my heart, how are you this morning?", Eriol's voice asked from behind them.
By his voice, Tomoyo could tell he was smiling. "Shut up Hiiragizawa. I told you not to call me that", she answered snippily without looking back.
Eriol's smile grew wider.
Sakura, gazing at Eriol and Syaoran, noticed that Eriol's tie was hanging loosely on his shoulder and that Syaoran had forgotten to button his shirt all the way up, showing lots of neck and upper chest. (A/N: Okay now you can drool.) Tomoyo, looking at Eriol's tie disapprovingly, took a step towards him and began fixing it for him.
"Why thank y-", he began.
"Your welcome", Tomoyo said interrupting him. Eriol just grinned again.
Sakura smiled at her cousin's softness towards Eriol, and noticed as Syaoran began fumbling with his own shirt and tie. By the time the elevator came, the four students were ready to go.
"So what class do you guys start with?", Syaoran asked.
"English 360", Eriol, Sakura, Tomoyo, said in unison.
"Really? Me too", Syaoran said smiling.
The four young adults walked out their dorm, taking a right towards their school, which was only a block away. A hoard of other Tomoeda high-schoolers were walking in the same direction, chatting with friends or yawning over and over again. A new year had begun.
***
At their lockers, Sakura found that hers refused to open. A boy with sandy hair and brown eyes noticed her predicament and banged his fist on the locker, jerking it open.
"There! This locker just needs a good hit when it's being stubborn", he said good naturedly before leaving.
"Bye Steven! We'll call you when we need you!", Eriol called after him in a girlie voice. Steven just raised his hand and waved it in exasperation. Sakura giggled and took put her bag in.
Walking down the hallway and down the stairs, they walked to their English class. The teacher explained what they would be doing that year, and started passing a list of needed supplies..
"French, art, math, music and gym", Sakura listed as they walked down the hallway, checking their schedules. Eriol yawning in boredom, started talking to his friend next to him.
"Hey we have the same schedule!", Syaoran exclaimed.
"Wait..do you guys have chemistry?", Sakura asked as she peered at Syaoran's schedule.
"Nope, me and Eriol have physics this term.", Syaoran replied looking up.
Tomoyo smiled, and started talking to three girls trailing behind them. The first had cropped dark brown hair ending just above her shoulders and wore glasses. The next girl had short, reddish brown hair, and looked to be the most mature of the trio. The boy who was talking to Eriol was Yamazaki, another friend of theirs.
"Did you know the Greeks were the ones who made up schedule? Their life was so busy they had to put what they had to do on paper. However the Greeks had to buy the paper of the Romans who were charging them outrageous prices...", he rambled with his index finger pointed up.
"Stop lying Yamazaki!", the third girl with thick swirly brown pig tails exclaimed in exasperation, before placing her hands on his neck and strangling him.
"Yamazaki and his farfetched stories...Chiharu...he's turning blue..", the two first girls, Naoko and Rika, said while shaking their heads.
"Oops...", Chiharu said before meekly peeling her fingers off Yamazaki's bluish neck.
The poor boy slunk to the floor, never losing his trademark goofy smile. Eriol just grinned and Syaoran shook his head.
"Um.., will he be OK?", a worried Sakura asked as the group kept on walking, leaving Yamazaki on the floor.
*****
After more introductory classes that didn't last long since it was the first day, recess finally came during which the group explored the campus. Lunch soon followed. Remembering the picnic tables at the back of the campus, they made their way to one placed underneath a cherry blossom tree. Tomoyo and Sakura got to know Eriol and Syaoran's friends, learning more about them and feeling comfortable with their new group of friends.
As the young fairies walked home with Naoko, Chiharu, Rika, Yamazaki, Eriol and Syaoran, they wondered how they could feel so close to humans, having only met them that very same day.
Sitting on a sofa in the living room, Sakura listened to Tomoyo making supper and a new batch of cookies.
"I like them." Sakura said, while she played video games with Kero. Tomoyo laughed, came in the living room and sat on the love seat.
"You're supposed to, they're our friends", she said matter-o-factly.
Smiling happily, Sakura went back to the game. Suppi, sitting on the table, waited for supper to finish.
