Chapter: 2
The Mystery Behind the Scene Part A
"Knock, knock!" the students heard from the door as it crept open. "Um, Terada Sansei?" asked a kid with short red hair and light brown eyes. "What is it Kniche." Sensei said with annoyance in his voice. "Yes, um well we have a problem, um . . ." "What is it?" "Miaki sensei asked if we could have your oldest student to participate in the mystery challenge." He finished "What do you mean?" "We're one station captain short and we need one of your students, well sensei thinks the oldest will be the most mature, to help us with the program."
Terada sensei turned to his class "who is the oldest here?" he asked. There was a slight murmur in the class, then a boy with short blonde hair and blue eyes stood up and stated "I am sensei." "Yes Taki, when is it January, February?" "Um, no sensei, it's March." "Oh, yes well off you g—" "Um, sensei?" Alyana asked as she stood up. "What is it Alyana?" "Well, um, my birthday it's in February." Everyone looked at her, especially Taki, who was shocked but had a little smile on his face.
"Well then I think that means you should go . . . Oh unless there is anyone older, anyone . . . No ok Alyana go."
Alyana took her bag and ran off with Kniche.
"Right well you will be a station captain; you'll be working to present all the suspects to the kids, sort of like a host." Said Kniche once they were out of the class. "Right." Said Alyana
All through the walk to class 4-C Kniche was explaining what Alyana will do.
"Here we are. You will come here everyday during math class until the final production." He said as they entered the class
Miaki sensei turned to Kniche, and Alyana. "Thank you Kniche, um there has been a change of plan Chine wants to be host so Alyana will have to be suspect Chochang, Kniche will instruct you were to show up and what you have to do for us, right now off to it."
Kniche took Alyana by the arm and ran her to the back.
"Suspect Chochang Mihataji is my favorite she has the best part in the story, well she's the master criminal, the one behind everything, isn't that great!"
"Um, ya I guess."
Kniche went on and on about what Alyana has to do for them in the play.
* * * *
"Kinowa-chan is so lucky; I wish I could be a culprit like her." Said Naoko. As they were walking outside.
Sakura wasn't paying any attention to what Naoko was saying she was to busy cuddling into Syaoran's arm. As she did so Syaoran looked at her confused and rubbing his head to make his hair look even messier then usual.
As they did so Tomoyo was taping and giggling at the scene.
"Looks more like Sakura is more interested in Li then what you have to say Naoko." Chiharu said. Everyone in the group was giggling, Sakura quickly let go of Syaoran not knowing what she was doing till they told her, she blushed crimson, but she wasn't the only one right behind her was a just as red Syaoran if not redder.
"That, that, that's not true!" Sakura said shocked by what her friends were doing to her. "Guys just leave her alone she's just so happy to see Li-kun again, I mean she has never been upset about anyone leaving this much, not even Eriol and he meant a lot to her, so really we shouldn't tease her . . . but we can tape her!" Tomoyo said with stars in her eyes. "Tomoyo!" yelled Sakura. Syaoran and Sakura were even redder if it was possible.
Seeing how uncomfortable Sakura was Tomoyo decided to change the subject. "I can't wait for the mystery challenge it will be so fun to tape." "Ya, it will be a blast." Said Chiharu, who way looking at Takashi dreading if he would tell another one of his lies. "You know in ancient Greece the man who solves a women's mystery was rewarded with a kiss, some say the kiss is either good luck or a curse depending on who gave i—"Chiharu started to choke Takashi in mid sentence. "No lies!" she yelled. Everyone sweat dropped.
Nothing ever changes, I just hope neither did Sakura.
They finally found a spot under a cherry blossom tree and sat there.
"So what have you been doing in China for two years that's so important?" asked Takashi. Syaoran who was now standing up looking at the cherry blossom tree replied. "Nothing really just things for my clan." And with that Syaoran jumped into the tree. "Some people never change." Said Naoko.
Then Sakura got up not wanting to spend a moment with out Syaoran. Grabbed a branch and lifted her self up into the tree branch by branch.
"I guess she just never wants to leave him now that's he's back." Said Chiharu. "I wonder how she ever gets to sleep at home?" said Rika. Everyone started to giggle.
Oh I wonder what Sakura-chan is doing alone with Li-kun in a tree?
Tomoyo quickly took out her camera and tried climbing the tree after Sakura and Syaoran. It took her a wile, but she succeeded.
* * * *
"Sakura why did you follow you could have fallen off the tree, you're not very good at climbing them." "I really don't care." Answered Sakura. Syaoran sighed he hated fighting with Sakura. Sakura came onto Syaoran's branch and cuddled beside him. Syaoran started to fiddle with her now shoulder length auburn hair.
Sakura noticed this and looked at Syaoran who was staring at her hair twirling it around his fingers. Sakura grabbed his hand with made him stop in mid twirl. He then looked down at Sakura. Still holding onto Syaoran's hand tears started to flow down her cheeks. Syaoran's eyes widened. "Sakura . . ." Sakura flung her arms around him rubbing her face into his chest. "Syaoran, I missed you so much please don't leave me again, please." Syaoran hated to see her like this, he hugged her back and told her. "Sakura no matter how much I want to stay sometimes I will have to go back, but I will promise you that I will stay as long as I can and I'll tell you if I have to leave. Ok?" Sakura nodded her head. Took out her pinky and said. "Promise?" Syaoran locked his pinky with hers and said "Promise."
Sakura then loosened her grip around Syaoran's neck and smiled at him. Syaoran used his thumbs to rub away Sakura's tears. "Now stop crying or I'll be on the next plane to Hong Kong."
"RRRIIIINNNGGG!!" the bell that said that lunch had ended rang.
With Sakura's arms around Syaoran's neck, and him carrying her. Syaoran jumped off the tree and landed swiftly on his feet. Chiharu, Takashi, Rika, and Naoko all stared wide eyed at Syaoran who took such care of Sakura and smiled.
Tomoyo came not long after them with tears in her eyes saying. "That will be one of my favorite tapes, it was so kawaii." "The way he held you in his arms the way you cried on his shoulder . . . The –" "Tomoyo!" Sakura yelled.
It's bad enough that Tomoyo tapes every single moment I have alone with Syaoran, but why does she have to tell everyone what she saw.
"Um, if we don't hurry we will be late for astronomy." Said Rika taking Sakura out of her trance. Everyone ran toward their next class, astronomy. Astronomy was one of Sakura's favorite classes she loved to study the stars and their purpose, or how people use them to tell the future.
As they entered the class, the teacher stared at them. "Sakura, Chiharu, Takashi, Rika, Naoko, and . . ." "Li Syaoran." Said Syaoran calmly. "Ah, yes the exchanged student from China I think it was?" Syaoran nodded. "Well this is your first class so I won't lecture you, but I do not like my students to be late for class." "Yes, sensei . . ." Syaoran said and took his usual seat behind Sakura.
Sensei cleared her voice and spoke. "Yes, well my name is Tenaei sensei, where was I, oh yes, Eagle the star north of the Milky Way, has a very important purpose, it means hope, love, and that no matter what somehow everything will be alright." "An example of this is the calibration of the reunion of the princess and the shepherd. Does anyone know the story?"
Hmm lets see how much the new boy knows
"How about you Syaoran?" Syaoran stood up to answer the question.
"The princess was known for her sewing all over, that's what she did best, and she enjoyed doing. But no matter how happy she was, she always felt a little empty inside. That something was missing in her life. Her father the king noticed this and decided to get her married. It was love at first sight for the her and the shepherd, their marriage was a happy one, but they ignored their work to spend time together. The king was annoyed by this and separated them by putting in the Milky Way. So they both went back to their jobs but this made his daughter just as sad, and her father pitied her so once a year the stars join together to make a bridge for her and the shepherd to meet, and they say that the rain are the tears of joy from the princess when she meets the shepherd." Answered Syaoran.
The teacher was wide eyed, surprised how smart he was.
She shook her head bringing her back to reality. Seeing this Syaoran was puzzled and raised and eye brow, "Am I wrong?" he asked. "Oh, no you're right." Answered sensei. Sakura giggled. It was funny to see a teacher get stunned by Syaoran.
Syaoran was walking home, from school to his apartment. As he walked up to his mail box next to all the other mail boxes that belonged to his neighbors he thought about what he should do.
Hmm, I guess I should try out for soccer again, I bet Sakura is still a cheerleader. Tomoyo is probably still in choir, aren't we suppose to have music, and instrumental this year in Japan?
In Japan once you enter grade 7 you are required to have music and instrumental, well you have music for the first half of the year and instrumental for the second half.
Syaoran was surprised to see that he had mail, but even more surprised to see that it had the implanted Li in red on the seal, it was from one of the leaders of the Li clan, who is his cousin Riuyen. Not to mention his favorite cousin . . . well he used to be. He was so kind and nice to Syaoran the only male member besides Syaoran in the family, he is 8 years older then Syaoran. But once he was chosen to be leader his cousin completely changed.
Syaoran sighed. He opened it as he walked to his apartment room. He stuffed it under his arm as he shuffled with the key in the lock, once he heard the click he turned the handle and walked in. He took the letter out of the envelope and it read.
Dear Syaoran . . .
* * * *
As Sakura flopped on her bed happily like a little child Kero came out of Sakura's drawer. "What are you so happy about?" Kero said. Even though he had a feeling he already knew what it was. "Hump, don't play dumb with me I know you have already sensed his aura, unless your loosing your touch." Sakura stated happily. "I've sensed it but I was hopping I was wrong." But inside he didn't, he was happy to see his mistress happy again.
Sakura was waiting at the gate for her friends. As Syaoran came through the gate Sakura smiled. "Ohaio, Syaoran-kun." Syaoran looked at her with pain and anger mixed into his eyes. He muttered something under his breath and walked pass her not saying a word. Sakura frowned.
Great he's just like the first time I first meat him it's like starting all over with him again, but I know it will be worth it just to get him back, I don't blame him, I wouldn't like it if I told someone I loved them and I haven't gotten an answer in over two years.
But something told Sakura that wasn't the reason. She sighed and said a hello to her friends who just walked through the gate.
"Class settle down, as you know today we are supposed to have our first class with instruments. But because of the mystery challenge our class will be delayed, because the eights are using the instruments, so we will continue with vocal."
The class groaned they were looking forward in using instruments.
"But I would like you to know starting from November the curriculum for music/instrumental will change we will have day one as instrumental and day two as music, so you will have both."
"This mystery challenge better be worth it." Said Rika who was desperate to play an instrument. "Of course it will be." Said Naoko. "Anything to do with ghosts, mystery, convictions, or violence is always good." That was typical old Naoko, always into spooky stuff.
* * * *
On the roof Syaoran looked down at the group of friends that were chattering away. He smiled and turned away.
Just then he felt a familiar power. As he stared back down he saw that everyone except for him and Sakura were frozen.
What he failed to notice was that Alyana and Xylo were both missing from the scene.
He jumped down directly next to Sakura, who he gave a cold glare.
A shiver ran down Sakura's back as she felt the power of their enemy, it wasn't human for sure but it had a familiar power to the clow cards, but seemed to exceed some of their levels.
"What is it?" Sakura whispered to Syaoran as if it will hear them. Syaoran looked at her as if she was crazy then changed it back into a scroll. "Baka, that's the power of our enemy." "I know that." She said retorted. "I was referring to what does it do and were it came from." "Well you have a weird way in saying it."
"The Cherry Blossom and the Little Wolf, I don't know why my master, makes me torment with you as if you have all the power in the world, I can destroy you easily." Said a familiar voice to Syaoran.
"Well then come try!" Syaoran retorted. "Ah, ah, aaah, master's orders."
"I'm here to warn you to be prepared because my master will show no mercy, master will destroy you, and burn you to ashes, master will make you pay!"
"Pay for what? We didn't do anything."
"Do nothing! Ha you fool you will pay the most to my master, Cherry Blossom!"
With that the power disappeared, and everyone started to wake up.
"Oh, hey Li-kun were did you come from?" asked a confused Chiharu.
Tomoyo looked at Syaoran and Sakura suspiciously.
I know something happened Sakura hasn't looked so dumbfounded every since the card captor days.
Syaoran pouted, tilted his head up and walked away.
"As you know we are having the mystery challenge in five days." Said Terada sensei. Everyone nodded their heads. "Well I was asked to tell you the rules and how it will work. Lots of kids were happy because this means no math homework. "But I will still assign homework." Most people's smiles went upside down and groaned at the thought of homework. "You all will be separated into groups, each group will be assigned a specific area to do studies on the clues that you find around the crime scene, for those of you who don't know that's our school." "All groups will have a number of suspects, at the end you will have to choose who you think is the culprit." "There will be people at stations to give you mini clues of what's going on, but in the end the choice is all yours." "You will be sleeping at the school for this week, you will be sleeping in classrooms, you will go to the cafeteria for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and we will also be having a midnight snack bar open." "You must bring your own sleeping bag, and any other items you use in the morning, evening and night at home." "We will be taking our showers at a swimming pool near by who have offered their stalls to our use for this week, you will have to wake up early and head out. It is a 15 min walk from here, there are only 3 stalls for the girls and 3 stalls for the boys so you will have to be patient, and if you want to be there first you have to wake up early." There were whispers going around the class room. "Any questions?" Takashi raised his hand. "Takashi this better not be another story." Scolded Terada sensei. Immediately Takashi's hand shot down, back at his side. "Right if there are no more questions I can start a lesson." Quickly lots of hand shot in the air for questioning.
As Sakura walked to Tomoyo's mansion she was wondering about the change in Syaoran's attitude. "What happened?" Tomoyo asked. "I don't know he was so—"Tomoyo cut her off. "No, not Li even though he is acting strange lately, I'm talking about at lunch time." "Oh, that." "It doesn't really mater it was nothing." But Tomoyo kept insisting. "Ok, ok." Sakura finally gave in and told Tomoyo what happened even though she somehow kept going off track and talking about Syaoran.
"So why did you want me to come over?" Sakura asked as Tomoyo opened the door to her house. "Can't a friend just ask her best friend to come over?" Tomoyo asked with an innocent look upon her face. "Tomoyo, what do you take me for, I'm your best friend, I can see right through those masks of yours." Sakura said pointing a finger at Tomoyo's face. She dropped the act, replaced it with a smile and swiped out her camera. Sakura sweat dropped, she knew exactly what she wanted. Now how could she think of her friend being civilized?
"I made new battle costumes for you to where!" Tomoyo said with stars in her eyes. "Oh, and also a Halloween costume for you to where."
Tomoyo dragged Sakura into her room to start dressing her. Sakura came out of the bathroom wearing a Chinese pink silky demin blouse that stopped under her butt, with a White sash around her waist flowing to her knees, and a long silky demin white skirt. "It's beautiful Tomoyo." Sakura stated as she twirled around in front of the mirror. "I know." Said Tomoyo as she taped Sakura in the battle outfit. "It's just too bad that you will never be able to use it." Sighed Tomoyo. Something told Sakura that she will be wearing it pretty soon.
"Oh I can't wait; in two more days it's going to be the first day of the mystery." Stated Naoko, she has been excited about the mystery challenge ever since the class found out. "I have to start packing." Said Sakura, who had also been in suspense the whole week. "I have so much to pack." She stated. "We're only staying here for a week how much do you need to pack?" "A lot." Sakura said pouting. "Like what?" asked Chiharu "I have my hair brush, my comb, alarm clocks, my sleeping bag, a weeks worth of clothes, my towel, my tooth brush, my soup, my shampoo, my hair conditioner, my gel, my ribbons, my candy, my notebook, my good luck charm, my lucky bed sheet, and my Syaoran-bea—"Sakura stopped mid word, as Chiharu, Rika, Naoko, and Takashi were looking at her wide eyed. Tomoyo giggled. "You named your bear after Syaoran?" asked Naoko. "No!" Sakura said turning red. "Then Syaoran gave you a bear named after him?" said Chiharu. "Well, yes sort of." "I never knew Syaoran gave you a bear you know what tha—" "Yes I know can we stop." Sakura said, her face looking crimson. "Why? Did you know that in anc—"Chiharu started to choke Takashi. "STOP LYING TAKASHI!!" Chiharu yelled. Everyone looked at the couple and sweat dropped.
At least they stopped talking about Syaoran-bear
* * * * *
Syaoran was walking to the soccer field from which was behind the school. This was the first day for soccer try outs so they won't be playing any sports just getting to know each other and to see who their competition was. To Syaoran this was a waste of time.
"Hey, Syaoran!" Takashi yelled from behind him. Syaoran turned around to look at his friend.
"I see you still play soccer eh." "You trying out, Yamazaki?" Syaoran asked "Why do you still call me that we're old palls for once can you call me by my first name?" "No." Syaoran replied calmly. Takashi sighed. And answered, "Ya, I'm trying out." Syaoran looked him up and down. "You're going to be the goalie." It was more of a statement then of a question. "Ya, well that's what I'm trying out to be." He replied. Syaoran turned back toward the soccer field and looked at the other boys trying out, seeing who the unlucky person who wants to challenge him is. "Oh, ya Syaoran is it true you gave Sakura a bear named after you?" Syaoran spun around and started to turn red. If you looked carefully you could tell a grin was trying to extend on his lips, at the thought that Sakura might have kept Syaoran-bear. Syaoran quickly restrained himself and stated harshly, "What is it to you?" "I was just asking." Takashi said trying to act offended but failed.
Takashi and Syaoran walked to the soccer field, as Terada sensei was writing down the tryouts names. "Li, Syaoran." Syaoran said. As he passed his teacher. Terada wrote his name down quickly.
"Right, now you should all try to get to know your component that might be trying out for the same thing as you." Terada said.
Syaoran just stood there and glanced to the other side of the field were, he saw, the girls that were trying out for cheerleading do the same.
Sakura . . .
* * * * *
"Kinomoto-chan, do you think you can help me, I'm not too familiar with this cheerleading but I really want to be able to do it." Said Alyana.
"Ok, and please you can call me Sakura."
"Thank you Sakura-chan." Sakura smiled at Alyana, Sakura loved to make new friends.
As Tomoyo was talking to Xylo who had also asked for some assistance, Sakura talked to Alyana trying to get her familiar to the program. Sakura stood for a while and looked across to the other side of the field where the boys were playing.
Syaoran . . .
* * * *
"Syaoran?" Takashi snapped Syaoran out of his thoughts. "What?" Syaoran said. "The guys want to meet you, to know the so called almighty Li." Takashi said with laughter in his voice.
Syaoran followed Takashi to where the guys were talking.
"So, you're Li, Syaoran?" A boy commented. He had dirty blond hair, and ruby eyes, kind of like Meiling's. "You don't look all that good." Syaoran ignored his comment and crossed his arms around his chest. "I'm Tamotiake Hitaji." Syaoran made no sound of acceptance. "You may think you're all that but I, have powers unimaginable." Syaoran smirked at this, and glared at him. "So do I, so just stay out of my way." Syaoran said coldly. "Syaoran, I think he only said that to get your attention." Said Takashi. "Either way I don't like him." Syaoran said as they walked away from the group.
* * * * *
"RRRRRRRRIIIIIIIIIINNNNNGGGG!!!" Sakura banged her hand on her alarm, to make it stop ringing. It didn't stop. Sakura banged it again, and again, and again. Then she fluttered her eyes open to see what was happening. It wasn't her alarm it was her wireless phone ringing from somewhere under her pile of clothes. Sakura dived out of bed and threw her clothes around madly trying to look for her phone. She finally found it and hit the 'talk' button. "Mushi, Mushi." "Hello, Sakura?" "Oh, hi Tomoyo-chan, why did you call me from my mobile when you can just call to my home?" "It was disconnected somehow." Tomoyo said from the other line. Sakura sweat dropped. Yesterday, Toya was on the phone all day and she couldn't talk to anyone. So she disconnected their phone.
Remember to re-connect the phone line
"Anyways, I just called to ask if you can come over today." "Oh, ok, just after I finish packing my stuff." Sakura answered. "Ja ne!" Tomoyo said "Ja!" Sakura said back. And hung up her mobile.
* * * * *
Syaoran locked the latches to his green suit case, filled with his stuff he needed for the mystery challenge. And beside it was a green gym bag filled with extra clothes just incase.
"RRRRRIIIIIIINNNNNGGGGG!!!"
Syaoran headed towards his telephone. "Mushi, Mushi." Syaoran stated into the receiver. "Syaoran!" Meiling's voice ran through the phone. "Hello, Meiling." Syaoran said through the phone annoyed. Meiling ignored his annoyance and continued talking. "So, how is Sakura-chan?" "Ok, I guess." Syaoran stated with no emotion in his voice. "What do you mean you guess, you're back with the person you love how can you be so, so emotionless?" Meiling said with a glimpse of anger in her voice.
If he won't tell me anything I'll just have to find out for my self!
"Ok Syaoran don't tell me. But I will find out what is happening." Meiling said with a mysteriousness and happiness in her voice. Syaoran was confused by this.
She always has a change in mood every five seconds. I'll never understand girls.
Syaoran shook his head even though there was no one there to see him.
"Ja ne Syaoran!" Meiling commented through the phone. "Sayonara, Meiling." Syaoran said and then hung up the phone.
Find out my self? Ja ne? It's almost like she's coming back to Japan.
Syaoran had a look of terror on his face. But he shook it off quickly.
Meiling wouldn't be coming to Japan.
Syaoran reassured himself.
* * * *
"There I'm finally done!" Sakura said as she brushed her hand across her fore head to wipe away the little sweat on her head.
"Good, now you can give me food!" Kero yelled as he leaped out of Sakura's drawer. "Fine."
Sakura headed down stairs to get a snack for Kero.
Sometimes he can be such a pig
Sakura shook her head and took some pudding up to Kero. "Here Kero-chan." Sakura said as she entered the door. "Yay, pudding!" Kero shouted with joy and started to pig out on the pudding. Sakura got her coat, put on her rollerblades and headed towards Tomoyo's house.
"Tomoyo!" Sakura screamed as she walked into the mansion calling for her best friend. "Sakura!" Tomoyo yelled as she knocked the breath out of Sakura as she squeezed her friend in a hug. As she let go she said, "You're just on time. I finished your mystery costumes. "Tomoyo! You did what! I just finished packing! You should have told me earlier!" Sakura yelled. "I did, you said wait till you finished packing." Said Tomoyo in a matter of fact way. Sakura groaned. Tomoyo grabbed her arm and dragged her to her room to get her to model.
After about two hours of trying on clothes that Tomoyo made for her, Sakura collapsed on Tomoyo's bed. "That was exhausting!" Sakura stated. "But it was so fun and you looked so kawaii!" Tomoyo said with stars in her eyes. "Ya, too bad I won't be able to wear them." Sakura said. Tomoyo got struck back to reality with that comment. "What!" Tomoyo yelled. "Of course you will! Once you go home you're repacking and taking this stuff with you!" Tomoyo said with fire in her eyes. "Tomoyo I was just kidding." Sakura said waving both hands to show that it was all just a misunderstanding. Tomoyo quickly cheered up. "Anyways I have to go finish your Halloween costume, ja!" Sakura sweat drooped.
Her mood changes, as frequently as I do battle costumes.
"Ya, ja!"
*~&~*~&~*~&~*~&~*~&~*~&~*
'Hehehehehehehehehehe' 'Poor, poor Cherry Blossom.' 'W-who, w-who's there?' 'How will you last without your Little Wolf' the voice said in more of a statement then a question. 'Stop!' Sakura yelled into thin air. She was surrounded by darkness . . . Then, she saw Syaoran. 'Syaoran!' Sakura yelled.
He was staring at her, a look of sorrow and sadness filled his eyes, then he looked at her as if he will never see her again, he gave her a little rare smile, turned his gaze away from her and looked into the darkness, with concentration. He parted his lips a little, and into his mouth went a white mist, a silvery white mist. His eyes grew wide, as he clutched his hands to his chest, breathing unevenly, he fell to his knees . . .
Then his eyes went blank as he swiftly fell to the ground.
'SYAORAN!!! NOOOOOO!'
~&~*~&~*~&~*~&~*~&~*~&~*~&~*
"SYAORAN!!" Sakura yelled as she woke up with sweat all over her face.
It was just a dream nothing more just a dream.
Sakura got out of bed and went to the bathroom it was 6:30 am, school didn't start till 8:00 am, but it would be good to get ready anyways.
Was it just a dream or was it another premonition.
Sometimes Sakura could get premonitions wile she slept, it could be anytime, and she would just sleep, anywhere, and the premonition would appear.
But it's been so long since I had one, the last time I had one was back . . . back in the Card Captor days.
Sakura sighed.
What does this mean?
Sakura lay on her bed thinking about what the dream meant and if it really meant that Syaoran was in danger.
"Kaijou!" Touya yelled. "Don't you have to be in school early today?!" Sakura bolted up. Looked at the time, it was 7:30 am and Touya was right she had to be in school early today.
She raced down the stairs.
"You've dressed early today, Kaijou." Touya commented as she started to put on her rollerblades. "Sakura is not a monster!" Sakura yelled in a childish way, and kicked her brother in the shin. "OOOOOWWWWW!!!" Touya yelled. Fujiaka stared at his children with a smile and shook his head. He glanced at the clock, then at Sakura. "Doesn't school start at 8?" he asked. "Yes but we have to be there early today for the mystery challenge." Then she remembered her suitcases. "My suit cases!" Sakura ran up stairs very unsteadily, since she had her rollerblades on. She grabbed her nap sack, threw it over her shoulders, took her two pink suit cases, and ran down stairs, well more liked tumbled down the stairs.
"How much do you need to take monster?" Touya commented looking at her. She would have kicked him but was in no position to do so. "Bye dad, bye 'nii-chan!" Sakura yelled as she tried to rollerblade with all her luggage in her arms.
Sakura stumbled through the gate. "Wow Sakura, you were right you did need a lot of time to pack." Said Chiharu. "Sakura?" said Tomoyo. "Ya?" Sakura replied. "Don't tell me you didn't bother to put the clothes I gave into your suit case and just stuffed it into another suit case?" "Of course I did, I had no time to fit it in." said Sakura "Tomoyo, do you know that the clothes we are going to where have to be representing the school." Said Naoko. "Of course I know that, that's why I put our school sign, on all the left sleeves of all the tops." Said Tomoyo. Everyone sweat dropped. "And actually, you're aloud to bring two tops and pants that don't qualify as school material." Said Syaoran who just came in.
"Class, class, CLASS!!" everyone stopped doing whatever they were doing, hearing Terada sensei yell.
"Thank you, now we will start with putting you into your teams, if you sit down." Everyone ran to their seat and sat quietly waiting for their name to be called.
"Miaki, you may." Said Terada, to Miaki sensei. Miaki cleared her voice, and started. "There will be groups of five." She said. "Sasaki Rika, Mihara Chiharu, Yanagisawa Naoko, Kitoka Toriji, and Yamazaki Takashi." Toriji was an ok looking boy with light brown hair and silver misty eyes. "You are group A." "Tajaki Hina, Setare Gatiji, Tohari Yakona, Toshi Kone, and Haritaki Genkagi." "You are group B." Miaki sensei kept naming out the teams until she got to the last one. "And last is." "Li Syaoran, Kinomoto Sakura, Daidouji Tomoyo, Chan Xylo, and Tamotiake Hitaji." Syaoran fell to the floor.
Great I'm stuck with that imbecile!
Syaoran gave Hitaji an evil glare.
"You are group H."
As if Sakura was reading his, mind she slapped him across the head and whispered into his ear. "Syaoran why is it you always think badly of people? And I know what you're thinking." She hissed this loudly, but only loud enough for her Syaoran and Tomoyo to hear. "Watch what you're thinking!" Tomoyo started to giggle.
Sakura is like Li-kun's mother.
"Now get into you groups and we will show you which classes you will be sleeping in." Everyone got up and went into groups. As Syaoran, Sakura, and Tomoyo were walking to Xylo and Hitaji, Syaoran commented. "I've been camping and slept in the most uncomfortable places but this is ridiculous, we're sleeping in classes, classes."
They finally got to their group. They all said hi to each other, well except for Hitaji and Syaoran; they greeted each other with glares. "Would you two stop that, it's annoying." Said Xylo. Sakura and Tomoyo couldn't help but giggle, it was so funny to see Syaoran give a glare to his unlucky victim.
"What's so funny?" asked Hitaji. Tomoyo stopped laughing strait away, Sakura tried but still little giggles escaped from her mouth. She stated through giggles, "Nothing."
They started to follow the line that was heading out the door.
"We have separated the boys and girls into four classes according to your group letter." "Class 12-A will be given to group A and H boys." You could hear Syaoran groan and fall over. Sakura laughed. "Class 12-B will go to group A and H girls." The teachers went on and on about who will be sleeping in what class.
"Now I want you to unpack your stuff in your class and be in the gym by 8:30." "Hai!" Everyone said and went to there assigned class.
Syaoran was quick into unpacking he stuffed most of his stuff into a desk for safe keeping, and so they don't get dirty from the ground or someone steps on them. He then took all the desks in which he put his clothes and made then so that it was like one bed size table. He then laid his sleeping bag on top of the desks.
All the boys that were in his class were looking at him and sweat dropping.
What a neat freak.
Thought Hitaji who just threw everything out of his suitcase.
Syaoran then headed toward the door.
"Where you going?" asked Hitaji. "We aren't supposed to be there till 8:30 it's only 8:05." Hitaji smirked. "I'm not headed toward the gym." Syaoran said calmly. "Then where you headed?" asked Toriji. Takashi interrupted the conversation. "You know you don't have to go to them." They all stared at Takashi giving him the what the heck are you talking about look. "There is nothing better to do, and I rather be anywhere then with Tamotiake." Takashi shook his head. Syaoran slammed the door behind him as he left.
* * * * *
Syaoran walked up to room 12-B and knocked on the door. "Coming!" he heard Tomoyo say.
Tomoyo answered the door. "Li-kun!" "You're already done unpacking?!" yelled Naoko who was still getting her things out. "Of course he did, he always is so neat and so perfect on timing, he's so perfect in everything!" yelled Sakura in a frustrated voice.
Syaoran tilted his head so that he could look at Sakura. And sweat dropped.
Sakura hadn't even opened her suit cases yet.
"Sakura, you know we have to be in the gym at 8:30 right?" Syaoran said, still sweat dropping. "Of course I know!" Sakura yelled.
Why am I being so rebelling towards Syaoran? He didn't do anything.
Sakura thought but tagging at her mind was a bigger part saying.
What do you mean didn't do anything, he left you, he hurt you, he's avoiding you, you have the right to be rebelling him!
Sakura had a little argument going on in her head, finally the bigger part won.
I know I shouldn't be so close to Sakura but it's not my fault!
Syaoran walked over to Sakura, and reached for the latches on one of her suitcases.
"What do you think you are doing?!" "Opening your suitcase." Syaoran stated calmly. "I can do it!" Sakura said getting up to take the suitcase away from him. Syaoran dogged out of her reach. "It doesn't seam like it, you've spent a half hour trying to open it." "Give me that— a half hour!" yelled Sakura in more of a shocked way then in a question form. Syaoran nodded his head.
Then Takashi opened the door. "Hey guys, you better hurry up we're supposed to be in he gym in five minutes." Everyone quickly rushed out of the door. Syaoran easily opened the suitcases, and neatly started to put then in desks near by. "What are you doing?" Sakura asked. "Putting your clothes away, what does it look like?" After he stuffed all of the clothes Tomoyo gave Sakura into a few desks, he went to the other one to unpack that one. But Sakura grabbed it first blushing a light pink. "I'll unpack this one." Sakura said. Syaoran just kept still. "Syaoran, can't I have a little privacy!" Syaoran blushed about 3 shades of red, and then turned around.
After that, Sakura finally finished putting her clothes messily away. "Thanks Syaoran." Sakura said giving him one of her smiles that made Syaoran's heart melt so many times.
Syaoran and Sakura quickly ran down the stairs. "I can't believe how long it took you just to unpack!" Syaoran yelled as he and Sakura headed towards the gym. "Me! You're the one who kept distracting me!" "You don't need much concentration, to unpack you know." Syaoran said with a smirk on his face. Sakura glared at him.
As they finally reached the door everyone looked at them. "Sakura, Syaoran you are late I assume you have a good explanation, but we have no time for that quickly take your seat." Syaoran and Sakura took the two seats near their friends.
"I want you all to separate into your teams first." Said Terada sensei. Everyone quickly got into their teams.
"As I call your group's letter, one of your mates are to come and pick up the items we have for you. Then your group shall go somewhere to discus, whatever they need to discus. You have until 12:00 to do that, then after lunch we will meet in the library where we will show you the suspect, you will have to go around the school and look for clues, after that you look at your evidence and try to guess who the murderer of the victim is, if you don't figure it out right away don't worry, you will have a whole week to figure it out."
"Group A." Rika went up to Terada to get their utilities, and blushed as their fingers touched.
Terada went on and on calling the names until he reached the final group, group H.
"Group H." "I'll go get it." Xylo said as she walked up to Terada. As she got it Syaoran felt an aura, not that strong, probably because they were trying to hide it, but a glimpse of it was released at that moment.
Syaoran looked to Sakura to see if she too sensed it. Sakura's skin was pale as she sensed the aura, a shiver ran down her spine as she remembered the warning.
What will happen to us? Are we going to . . . no that would never happen, but what enemy or enemies will we have to face? Will we survive and concur over them, or will we lose . . .
Sakura shook her head violently. "Sakura." Syaoran whispered so that only Sakura could hear. "Did you feel it?" Sakura nodded. She was speechless. "Sakura it isn't that bad." Syaoran said and laughed a little, making Sakura at ease. She sighed.
As long as Syaoran is here beside me everything is going to be ok.
"Here." Xylo said as she shoved their utilities into Sakura's hands. "Hey, be careful." Sakura said teasingly.
The group looked at the items they will be working with. There was a booklet; the victim's diary. There were the basics of what the police think happened. There was a file on the disc of a secrete documentary made by the victim. There were five pairs of gloves, 15 plastic bags, five brushes. And a note from the teachers to give them a little information on what to do.
"Well want to go outside and discus this?" Tomoyo said in her always cheerful voice. Everyone nodded and headed outside.
"Well what should we do first?" asked Sakura. "I think we should read the note first, then the basics, then read the diary—what kind of guy has a diary." Suggested Syaoran and smirked at the last part of his sentence. "No! That's all wrong!" yelled Hitaji. "It should be we read the diary first, then the basics, then the letter." Syaoran gave him a death glare which scared the wits out of Hitaji. "But your idea is fine." he said. Syaoran lightened his glare. As Sakura read out the letter.
"Dear Group H, You—" "I guess they were to lazy to actually write our names." Smirked Hitaji. And everyone gave him a glare at his comment. "Just kidding go on go on." "As I was saying," Sakura said giving a slight smile to Hitaji. "Dear Group H,
You have the basics—which everyone has—the diary of the victim, and the secret documentary, these are one of the most important items. With this letter is a time table of your time to investigate, and what you will be doing at what time. You only get to go search the crime scene (do not worry if you think you won't be able to find any evidence if the scene has already bean searched. There is more then one of each evidence.)Only 2 times this week, so use your time wisely. You will also get to interview each criminal and they will be hiding some clues for you to find. You will have to work as a team to solve this crime, so please cooperate, this is also a chance for you to get to know each other better.—Syaoran and Hitaji smirked at this—We also include in this letter the suspects and what they do for a living their profile ect . . . The winner of the challenge (we mean the group not an individual) will win a free trip to Florida, with an extra ticket for each winner in the group, we also will be paying for your stay at the hotel, and will give you each 100 000 yen to spend (your yen will be changed into American money.) We hope you enjoy. And good luck.
Sincerely,
All staff, principle, vice principle, and The Seijou Junior High Fundraising Team."
There was silence for a wile between the group members. Sakura broke the silence, "I didn't know we had a fundraising team." Everyone sweat dropped. "I think we should try our hardest to win even though I don't like all of you . . ." He gave a glare towards Syaoran. "I really want to win, so let's try our best." "I really would like to go to Florida." Sakura said. "Ohohohohoho, I could tape Sakura, and make so many outfits! Oh, we have to win." Tomoyo said with stars in her eyes. Everyone sweat dropped at what Tomoyo calls her dream. But even so everyone agreed, to try their best.
Syaoran took the time table. "I'll go to the staff room and photo copy these." Syaoran said and headed off. "Wait don't you think we should photo copy everything we have, you know just in case we want to split up?" asked Sakura. Everyone nodded. Sakura quickly took all the paper items and chased after Syaoran.
After Syaoran and Sakura came back outside with the photo copies of everything, they even photo copies all pages from the diary. They put a paper clip to hold each subject in place. They gave one copy of the diary, the basics, the info of our suspects, and the time table. Then they each took one pair of gloves, a brush, and divided the bags.
"Ok, from now till 12:00 we go our separate ways and look at what we've got, once we meet up at 12:00 we tell each other of what we think, so we meet here at 12:00 got it?" Syaoran told everyone. Everyone nodded their heads in agreement. And went off their separate ways.
Tomoyo went to read it in the groups A and H girl's dorm. (Classroom) Hitaji went to read it in the groups A and H boy's dorm. (Classroom) Xylo went to read it in the library. Sakura went to read it in the cafeteria. Syaoran jumped up the nearest sakura tree and sat and read it there.

This I know is a very short chapter as well a little longer then my last one but still short. If you don't really get this chapter you'll get it once you read my next one, I will also include the basics and the diary in my next chapter, well actually that will be most of my next chapter, please if you don't know any Japanese, the Japanese version of Card Captor Sakura, or if you don't know anything about Card Captor Sakura at all, I suggest that you read the basics of Card Captor Sakura, witch is in my website, Japanese translation, you don't have to know all of them just get the main idea, and Name translations.

I will have a Tomoyo's Diary, and a Sakura's Diary. (It wont, have anything to do with princess's diary, which would be in the fairy tale column.)

(Me talking or quotes.)
The Mystery Behind the Scene Part A
"Knock, knock!" the students heard from the door as it crept open. "Um, Terada Sansei?" asked a kid with short red hair and light brown eyes. "What is it Kniche." Sensei said with annoyance in his voice. "Yes, um well we have a problem, um . . ." "What is it?" "Miaki sensei asked if we could have your oldest student to participate in the mystery challenge." He finished "What do you mean?" "We're one station captain short and we need one of your students, well sensei thinks the oldest will be the most mature, to help us with the program."
Terada sensei turned to his class "who is the oldest here?" he asked. There was a slight murmur in the class, then a boy with short blonde hair and blue eyes stood up and stated "I am sensei." "Yes Taki, when is it January, February?" "Um, no sensei, it's March." "Oh, yes well off you g—" "Um, sensei?" Alyana asked as she stood up. "What is it Alyana?" "Well, um, my birthday it's in February." Everyone looked at her, especially Taki, who was shocked but had a little smile on his face.
"Well then I think that means you should go . . . Oh unless there is anyone older, anyone . . . No ok Alyana go."
Alyana took her bag and ran off with Kniche.
"Right well you will be a station captain; you'll be working to present all the suspects to the kids, sort of like a host." Said Kniche once they were out of the class. "Right." Said Alyana
All through the walk to class 4-C Kniche was explaining what Alyana will do.
"Here we are. You will come here everyday during math class until the final production." He said as they entered the class
Miaki sensei turned to Kniche, and Alyana. "Thank you Kniche, um there has been a change of plan Chine wants to be host so Alyana will have to be suspect Chochang, Kniche will instruct you were to show up and what you have to do for us, right now off to it."
Kniche took Alyana by the arm and ran her to the back.
"Suspect Chochang Mihataji is my favorite she has the best part in the story, well she's the master criminal, the one behind everything, isn't that great!"
"Um, ya I guess."
Kniche went on and on about what Alyana has to do for them in the play.
* * * *
"Kinowa-chan is so lucky; I wish I could be a culprit like her." Said Naoko. As they were walking outside.
Sakura wasn't paying any attention to what Naoko was saying she was to busy cuddling into Syaoran's arm. As she did so Syaoran looked at her confused and rubbing his head to make his hair look even messier then usual.
As they did so Tomoyo was taping and giggling at the scene.
"Looks more like Sakura is more interested in Li then what you have to say Naoko." Chiharu said. Everyone in the group was giggling, Sakura quickly let go of Syaoran not knowing what she was doing till they told her, she blushed crimson, but she wasn't the only one right behind her was a just as red Syaoran if not redder.
"That, that, that's not true!" Sakura said shocked by what her friends were doing to her. "Guys just leave her alone she's just so happy to see Li-kun again, I mean she has never been upset about anyone leaving this much, not even Eriol and he meant a lot to her, so really we shouldn't tease her . . . but we can tape her!" Tomoyo said with stars in her eyes. "Tomoyo!" yelled Sakura. Syaoran and Sakura were even redder if it was possible.
Seeing how uncomfortable Sakura was Tomoyo decided to change the subject. "I can't wait for the mystery challenge it will be so fun to tape." "Ya, it will be a blast." Said Chiharu, who way looking at Takashi dreading if he would tell another one of his lies. "You know in ancient Greece the man who solves a women's mystery was rewarded with a kiss, some say the kiss is either good luck or a curse depending on who gave i—"Chiharu started to choke Takashi in mid sentence. "No lies!" she yelled. Everyone sweat dropped.
Nothing ever changes, I just hope neither did Sakura.
They finally found a spot under a cherry blossom tree and sat there.
"So what have you been doing in China for two years that's so important?" asked Takashi. Syaoran who was now standing up looking at the cherry blossom tree replied. "Nothing really just things for my clan." And with that Syaoran jumped into the tree. "Some people never change." Said Naoko.
Then Sakura got up not wanting to spend a moment with out Syaoran. Grabbed a branch and lifted her self up into the tree branch by branch.
"I guess she just never wants to leave him now that's he's back." Said Chiharu. "I wonder how she ever gets to sleep at home?" said Rika. Everyone started to giggle.
Oh I wonder what Sakura-chan is doing alone with Li-kun in a tree?
Tomoyo quickly took out her camera and tried climbing the tree after Sakura and Syaoran. It took her a wile, but she succeeded.
* * * *
"Sakura why did you follow you could have fallen off the tree, you're not very good at climbing them." "I really don't care." Answered Sakura. Syaoran sighed he hated fighting with Sakura. Sakura came onto Syaoran's branch and cuddled beside him. Syaoran started to fiddle with her now shoulder length auburn hair.
Sakura noticed this and looked at Syaoran who was staring at her hair twirling it around his fingers. Sakura grabbed his hand with made him stop in mid twirl. He then looked down at Sakura. Still holding onto Syaoran's hand tears started to flow down her cheeks. Syaoran's eyes widened. "Sakura . . ." Sakura flung her arms around him rubbing her face into his chest. "Syaoran, I missed you so much please don't leave me again, please." Syaoran hated to see her like this, he hugged her back and told her. "Sakura no matter how much I want to stay sometimes I will have to go back, but I will promise you that I will stay as long as I can and I'll tell you if I have to leave. Ok?" Sakura nodded her head. Took out her pinky and said. "Promise?" Syaoran locked his pinky with hers and said "Promise."
Sakura then loosened her grip around Syaoran's neck and smiled at him. Syaoran used his thumbs to rub away Sakura's tears. "Now stop crying or I'll be on the next plane to Hong Kong."
"RRRIIIINNNGGG!!" the bell that said that lunch had ended rang.
With Sakura's arms around Syaoran's neck, and him carrying her. Syaoran jumped off the tree and landed swiftly on his feet. Chiharu, Takashi, Rika, and Naoko all stared wide eyed at Syaoran who took such care of Sakura and smiled.
Tomoyo came not long after them with tears in her eyes saying. "That will be one of my favorite tapes, it was so kawaii." "The way he held you in his arms the way you cried on his shoulder . . . The –" "Tomoyo!" Sakura yelled.
It's bad enough that Tomoyo tapes every single moment I have alone with Syaoran, but why does she have to tell everyone what she saw.
"Um, if we don't hurry we will be late for astronomy." Said Rika taking Sakura out of her trance. Everyone ran toward their next class, astronomy. Astronomy was one of Sakura's favorite classes she loved to study the stars and their purpose, or how people use them to tell the future.
As they entered the class, the teacher stared at them. "Sakura, Chiharu, Takashi, Rika, Naoko, and . . ." "Li Syaoran." Said Syaoran calmly. "Ah, yes the exchanged student from China I think it was?" Syaoran nodded. "Well this is your first class so I won't lecture you, but I do not like my students to be late for class." "Yes, sensei . . ." Syaoran said and took his usual seat behind Sakura.
Sensei cleared her voice and spoke. "Yes, well my name is Tenaei sensei, where was I, oh yes, Eagle the star north of the Milky Way, has a very important purpose, it means hope, love, and that no matter what somehow everything will be alright." "An example of this is the calibration of the reunion of the princess and the shepherd. Does anyone know the story?"
Hmm lets see how much the new boy knows
"How about you Syaoran?" Syaoran stood up to answer the question.
"The princess was known for her sewing all over, that's what she did best, and she enjoyed doing. But no matter how happy she was, she always felt a little empty inside. That something was missing in her life. Her father the king noticed this and decided to get her married. It was love at first sight for the her and the shepherd, their marriage was a happy one, but they ignored their work to spend time together. The king was annoyed by this and separated them by putting in the Milky Way. So they both went back to their jobs but this made his daughter just as sad, and her father pitied her so once a year the stars join together to make a bridge for her and the shepherd to meet, and they say that the rain are the tears of joy from the princess when she meets the shepherd." Answered Syaoran.
The teacher was wide eyed, surprised how smart he was.
She shook her head bringing her back to reality. Seeing this Syaoran was puzzled and raised and eye brow, "Am I wrong?" he asked. "Oh, no you're right." Answered sensei. Sakura giggled. It was funny to see a teacher get stunned by Syaoran.
Syaoran was walking home, from school to his apartment. As he walked up to his mail box next to all the other mail boxes that belonged to his neighbors he thought about what he should do.
Hmm, I guess I should try out for soccer again, I bet Sakura is still a cheerleader. Tomoyo is probably still in choir, aren't we suppose to have music, and instrumental this year in Japan?
In Japan once you enter grade 7 you are required to have music and instrumental, well you have music for the first half of the year and instrumental for the second half.
Syaoran was surprised to see that he had mail, but even more surprised to see that it had the implanted Li in red on the seal, it was from one of the leaders of the Li clan, who is his cousin Riuyen. Not to mention his favorite cousin . . . well he used to be. He was so kind and nice to Syaoran the only male member besides Syaoran in the family, he is 8 years older then Syaoran. But once he was chosen to be leader his cousin completely changed.
Syaoran sighed. He opened it as he walked to his apartment room. He stuffed it under his arm as he shuffled with the key in the lock, once he heard the click he turned the handle and walked in. He took the letter out of the envelope and it read.
Dear Syaoran . . .
* * * *
As Sakura flopped on her bed happily like a little child Kero came out of Sakura's drawer. "What are you so happy about?" Kero said. Even though he had a feeling he already knew what it was. "Hump, don't play dumb with me I know you have already sensed his aura, unless your loosing your touch." Sakura stated happily. "I've sensed it but I was hopping I was wrong." But inside he didn't, he was happy to see his mistress happy again.
Sakura was waiting at the gate for her friends. As Syaoran came through the gate Sakura smiled. "Ohaio, Syaoran-kun." Syaoran looked at her with pain and anger mixed into his eyes. He muttered something under his breath and walked pass her not saying a word. Sakura frowned.
Great he's just like the first time I first meat him it's like starting all over with him again, but I know it will be worth it just to get him back, I don't blame him, I wouldn't like it if I told someone I loved them and I haven't gotten an answer in over two years.
But something told Sakura that wasn't the reason. She sighed and said a hello to her friends who just walked through the gate.
"Class settle down, as you know today we are supposed to have our first class with instruments. But because of the mystery challenge our class will be delayed, because the eights are using the instruments, so we will continue with vocal."
The class groaned they were looking forward in using instruments.
"But I would like you to know starting from November the curriculum for music/instrumental will change we will have day one as instrumental and day two as music, so you will have both."
"This mystery challenge better be worth it." Said Rika who was desperate to play an instrument. "Of course it will be." Said Naoko. "Anything to do with ghosts, mystery, convictions, or violence is always good." That was typical old Naoko, always into spooky stuff.
* * * *
On the roof Syaoran looked down at the group of friends that were chattering away. He smiled and turned away.
Just then he felt a familiar power. As he stared back down he saw that everyone except for him and Sakura were frozen.
What he failed to notice was that Alyana and Xylo were both missing from the scene.
He jumped down directly next to Sakura, who he gave a cold glare.
A shiver ran down Sakura's back as she felt the power of their enemy, it wasn't human for sure but it had a familiar power to the clow cards, but seemed to exceed some of their levels.
"What is it?" Sakura whispered to Syaoran as if it will hear them. Syaoran looked at her as if she was crazy then changed it back into a scroll. "Baka, that's the power of our enemy." "I know that." She said retorted. "I was referring to what does it do and were it came from." "Well you have a weird way in saying it."
"The Cherry Blossom and the Little Wolf, I don't know why my master, makes me torment with you as if you have all the power in the world, I can destroy you easily." Said a familiar voice to Syaoran.
"Well then come try!" Syaoran retorted. "Ah, ah, aaah, master's orders."
"I'm here to warn you to be prepared because my master will show no mercy, master will destroy you, and burn you to ashes, master will make you pay!"
"Pay for what? We didn't do anything."
"Do nothing! Ha you fool you will pay the most to my master, Cherry Blossom!"
With that the power disappeared, and everyone started to wake up.
"Oh, hey Li-kun were did you come from?" asked a confused Chiharu.
Tomoyo looked at Syaoran and Sakura suspiciously.
I know something happened Sakura hasn't looked so dumbfounded every since the card captor days.
Syaoran pouted, tilted his head up and walked away.
"As you know we are having the mystery challenge in five days." Said Terada sensei. Everyone nodded their heads. "Well I was asked to tell you the rules and how it will work. Lots of kids were happy because this means no math homework. "But I will still assign homework." Most people's smiles went upside down and groaned at the thought of homework. "You all will be separated into groups, each group will be assigned a specific area to do studies on the clues that you find around the crime scene, for those of you who don't know that's our school." "All groups will have a number of suspects, at the end you will have to choose who you think is the culprit." "There will be people at stations to give you mini clues of what's going on, but in the end the choice is all yours." "You will be sleeping at the school for this week, you will be sleeping in classrooms, you will go to the cafeteria for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and we will also be having a midnight snack bar open." "You must bring your own sleeping bag, and any other items you use in the morning, evening and night at home." "We will be taking our showers at a swimming pool near by who have offered their stalls to our use for this week, you will have to wake up early and head out. It is a 15 min walk from here, there are only 3 stalls for the girls and 3 stalls for the boys so you will have to be patient, and if you want to be there first you have to wake up early." There were whispers going around the class room. "Any questions?" Takashi raised his hand. "Takashi this better not be another story." Scolded Terada sensei. Immediately Takashi's hand shot down, back at his side. "Right if there are no more questions I can start a lesson." Quickly lots of hand shot in the air for questioning.
As Sakura walked to Tomoyo's mansion she was wondering about the change in Syaoran's attitude. "What happened?" Tomoyo asked. "I don't know he was so—"Tomoyo cut her off. "No, not Li even though he is acting strange lately, I'm talking about at lunch time." "Oh, that." "It doesn't really mater it was nothing." But Tomoyo kept insisting. "Ok, ok." Sakura finally gave in and told Tomoyo what happened even though she somehow kept going off track and talking about Syaoran.
"So why did you want me to come over?" Sakura asked as Tomoyo opened the door to her house. "Can't a friend just ask her best friend to come over?" Tomoyo asked with an innocent look upon her face. "Tomoyo, what do you take me for, I'm your best friend, I can see right through those masks of yours." Sakura said pointing a finger at Tomoyo's face. She dropped the act, replaced it with a smile and swiped out her camera. Sakura sweat dropped, she knew exactly what she wanted. Now how could she think of her friend being civilized?
"I made new battle costumes for you to where!" Tomoyo said with stars in her eyes. "Oh, and also a Halloween costume for you to where."
Tomoyo dragged Sakura into her room to start dressing her. Sakura came out of the bathroom wearing a Chinese pink silky demin blouse that stopped under her butt, with a White sash around her waist flowing to her knees, and a long silky demin white skirt. "It's beautiful Tomoyo." Sakura stated as she twirled around in front of the mirror. "I know." Said Tomoyo as she taped Sakura in the battle outfit. "It's just too bad that you will never be able to use it." Sighed Tomoyo. Something told Sakura that she will be wearing it pretty soon.
"Oh I can't wait; in two more days it's going to be the first day of the mystery." Stated Naoko, she has been excited about the mystery challenge ever since the class found out. "I have to start packing." Said Sakura, who had also been in suspense the whole week. "I have so much to pack." She stated. "We're only staying here for a week how much do you need to pack?" "A lot." Sakura said pouting. "Like what?" asked Chiharu "I have my hair brush, my comb, alarm clocks, my sleeping bag, a weeks worth of clothes, my towel, my tooth brush, my soup, my shampoo, my hair conditioner, my gel, my ribbons, my candy, my notebook, my good luck charm, my lucky bed sheet, and my Syaoran-bea—"Sakura stopped mid word, as Chiharu, Rika, Naoko, and Takashi were looking at her wide eyed. Tomoyo giggled. "You named your bear after Syaoran?" asked Naoko. "No!" Sakura said turning red. "Then Syaoran gave you a bear named after him?" said Chiharu. "Well, yes sort of." "I never knew Syaoran gave you a bear you know what tha—" "Yes I know can we stop." Sakura said, her face looking crimson. "Why? Did you know that in anc—"Chiharu started to choke Takashi. "STOP LYING TAKASHI!!" Chiharu yelled. Everyone looked at the couple and sweat dropped.
At least they stopped talking about Syaoran-bear
* * * * *
Syaoran was walking to the soccer field from which was behind the school. This was the first day for soccer try outs so they won't be playing any sports just getting to know each other and to see who their competition was. To Syaoran this was a waste of time.
"Hey, Syaoran!" Takashi yelled from behind him. Syaoran turned around to look at his friend.
"I see you still play soccer eh." "You trying out, Yamazaki?" Syaoran asked "Why do you still call me that we're old palls for once can you call me by my first name?" "No." Syaoran replied calmly. Takashi sighed. And answered, "Ya, I'm trying out." Syaoran looked him up and down. "You're going to be the goalie." It was more of a statement then of a question. "Ya, well that's what I'm trying out to be." He replied. Syaoran turned back toward the soccer field and looked at the other boys trying out, seeing who the unlucky person who wants to challenge him is. "Oh, ya Syaoran is it true you gave Sakura a bear named after you?" Syaoran spun around and started to turn red. If you looked carefully you could tell a grin was trying to extend on his lips, at the thought that Sakura might have kept Syaoran-bear. Syaoran quickly restrained himself and stated harshly, "What is it to you?" "I was just asking." Takashi said trying to act offended but failed.
Takashi and Syaoran walked to the soccer field, as Terada sensei was writing down the tryouts names. "Li, Syaoran." Syaoran said. As he passed his teacher. Terada wrote his name down quickly.
"Right, now you should all try to get to know your component that might be trying out for the same thing as you." Terada said.
Syaoran just stood there and glanced to the other side of the field were, he saw, the girls that were trying out for cheerleading do the same.
Sakura . . .
* * * * *
"Kinomoto-chan, do you think you can help me, I'm not too familiar with this cheerleading but I really want to be able to do it." Said Alyana.
"Ok, and please you can call me Sakura."
"Thank you Sakura-chan." Sakura smiled at Alyana, Sakura loved to make new friends.
As Tomoyo was talking to Xylo who had also asked for some assistance, Sakura talked to Alyana trying to get her familiar to the program. Sakura stood for a while and looked across to the other side of the field where the boys were playing.
Syaoran . . .
* * * *
"Syaoran?" Takashi snapped Syaoran out of his thoughts. "What?" Syaoran said. "The guys want to meet you, to know the so called almighty Li." Takashi said with laughter in his voice.
Syaoran followed Takashi to where the guys were talking.
"So, you're Li, Syaoran?" A boy commented. He had dirty blond hair, and ruby eyes, kind of like Meiling's. "You don't look all that good." Syaoran ignored his comment and crossed his arms around his chest. "I'm Tamotiake Hitaji." Syaoran made no sound of acceptance. "You may think you're all that but I, have powers unimaginable." Syaoran smirked at this, and glared at him. "So do I, so just stay out of my way." Syaoran said coldly. "Syaoran, I think he only said that to get your attention." Said Takashi. "Either way I don't like him." Syaoran said as they walked away from the group.
* * * * *
"RRRRRRRRIIIIIIIIIINNNNNGGGG!!!" Sakura banged her hand on her alarm, to make it stop ringing. It didn't stop. Sakura banged it again, and again, and again. Then she fluttered her eyes open to see what was happening. It wasn't her alarm it was her wireless phone ringing from somewhere under her pile of clothes. Sakura dived out of bed and threw her clothes around madly trying to look for her phone. She finally found it and hit the 'talk' button. "Mushi, Mushi." "Hello, Sakura?" "Oh, hi Tomoyo-chan, why did you call me from my mobile when you can just call to my home?" "It was disconnected somehow." Tomoyo said from the other line. Sakura sweat dropped. Yesterday, Toya was on the phone all day and she couldn't talk to anyone. So she disconnected their phone.
Remember to re-connect the phone line
"Anyways, I just called to ask if you can come over today." "Oh, ok, just after I finish packing my stuff." Sakura answered. "Ja ne!" Tomoyo said "Ja!" Sakura said back. And hung up her mobile.
* * * * *
Syaoran locked the latches to his green suit case, filled with his stuff he needed for the mystery challenge. And beside it was a green gym bag filled with extra clothes just incase.
"RRRRRIIIIIIINNNNNGGGGG!!!"
Syaoran headed towards his telephone. "Mushi, Mushi." Syaoran stated into the receiver. "Syaoran!" Meiling's voice ran through the phone. "Hello, Meiling." Syaoran said through the phone annoyed. Meiling ignored his annoyance and continued talking. "So, how is Sakura-chan?" "Ok, I guess." Syaoran stated with no emotion in his voice. "What do you mean you guess, you're back with the person you love how can you be so, so emotionless?" Meiling said with a glimpse of anger in her voice.
If he won't tell me anything I'll just have to find out for my self!
"Ok Syaoran don't tell me. But I will find out what is happening." Meiling said with a mysteriousness and happiness in her voice. Syaoran was confused by this.
She always has a change in mood every five seconds. I'll never understand girls.
Syaoran shook his head even though there was no one there to see him.
"Ja ne Syaoran!" Meiling commented through the phone. "Sayonara, Meiling." Syaoran said and then hung up the phone.
Find out my self? Ja ne? It's almost like she's coming back to Japan.
Syaoran had a look of terror on his face. But he shook it off quickly.
Meiling wouldn't be coming to Japan.
Syaoran reassured himself.
* * * *
"There I'm finally done!" Sakura said as she brushed her hand across her fore head to wipe away the little sweat on her head.
"Good, now you can give me food!" Kero yelled as he leaped out of Sakura's drawer. "Fine."
Sakura headed down stairs to get a snack for Kero.
Sometimes he can be such a pig
Sakura shook her head and took some pudding up to Kero. "Here Kero-chan." Sakura said as she entered the door. "Yay, pudding!" Kero shouted with joy and started to pig out on the pudding. Sakura got her coat, put on her rollerblades and headed towards Tomoyo's house.
"Tomoyo!" Sakura screamed as she walked into the mansion calling for her best friend. "Sakura!" Tomoyo yelled as she knocked the breath out of Sakura as she squeezed her friend in a hug. As she let go she said, "You're just on time. I finished your mystery costumes. "Tomoyo! You did what! I just finished packing! You should have told me earlier!" Sakura yelled. "I did, you said wait till you finished packing." Said Tomoyo in a matter of fact way. Sakura groaned. Tomoyo grabbed her arm and dragged her to her room to get her to model.
After about two hours of trying on clothes that Tomoyo made for her, Sakura collapsed on Tomoyo's bed. "That was exhausting!" Sakura stated. "But it was so fun and you looked so kawaii!" Tomoyo said with stars in her eyes. "Ya, too bad I won't be able to wear them." Sakura said. Tomoyo got struck back to reality with that comment. "What!" Tomoyo yelled. "Of course you will! Once you go home you're repacking and taking this stuff with you!" Tomoyo said with fire in her eyes. "Tomoyo I was just kidding." Sakura said waving both hands to show that it was all just a misunderstanding. Tomoyo quickly cheered up. "Anyways I have to go finish your Halloween costume, ja!" Sakura sweat drooped.
Her mood changes, as frequently as I do battle costumes.
"Ya, ja!"
*~&~*~&~*~&~*~&~*~&~*~&~*
'Hehehehehehehehehehe' 'Poor, poor Cherry Blossom.' 'W-who, w-who's there?' 'How will you last without your Little Wolf' the voice said in more of a statement then a question. 'Stop!' Sakura yelled into thin air. She was surrounded by darkness . . . Then, she saw Syaoran. 'Syaoran!' Sakura yelled.
He was staring at her, a look of sorrow and sadness filled his eyes, then he looked at her as if he will never see her again, he gave her a little rare smile, turned his gaze away from her and looked into the darkness, with concentration. He parted his lips a little, and into his mouth went a white mist, a silvery white mist. His eyes grew wide, as he clutched his hands to his chest, breathing unevenly, he fell to his knees . . .
Then his eyes went blank as he swiftly fell to the ground.
'SYAORAN!!! NOOOOOO!'
~&~*~&~*~&~*~&~*~&~*~&~*~&~*
"SYAORAN!!" Sakura yelled as she woke up with sweat all over her face.
It was just a dream nothing more just a dream.
Sakura got out of bed and went to the bathroom it was 6:30 am, school didn't start till 8:00 am, but it would be good to get ready anyways.
Was it just a dream or was it another premonition.
Sometimes Sakura could get premonitions wile she slept, it could be anytime, and she would just sleep, anywhere, and the premonition would appear.
But it's been so long since I had one, the last time I had one was back . . . back in the Card Captor days.
Sakura sighed.
What does this mean?
Sakura lay on her bed thinking about what the dream meant and if it really meant that Syaoran was in danger.
"Kaijou!" Touya yelled. "Don't you have to be in school early today?!" Sakura bolted up. Looked at the time, it was 7:30 am and Touya was right she had to be in school early today.
She raced down the stairs.
"You've dressed early today, Kaijou." Touya commented as she started to put on her rollerblades. "Sakura is not a monster!" Sakura yelled in a childish way, and kicked her brother in the shin. "OOOOOWWWWW!!!" Touya yelled. Fujiaka stared at his children with a smile and shook his head. He glanced at the clock, then at Sakura. "Doesn't school start at 8?" he asked. "Yes but we have to be there early today for the mystery challenge." Then she remembered her suitcases. "My suit cases!" Sakura ran up stairs very unsteadily, since she had her rollerblades on. She grabbed her nap sack, threw it over her shoulders, took her two pink suit cases, and ran down stairs, well more liked tumbled down the stairs.
"How much do you need to take monster?" Touya commented looking at her. She would have kicked him but was in no position to do so. "Bye dad, bye 'nii-chan!" Sakura yelled as she tried to rollerblade with all her luggage in her arms.
Sakura stumbled through the gate. "Wow Sakura, you were right you did need a lot of time to pack." Said Chiharu. "Sakura?" said Tomoyo. "Ya?" Sakura replied. "Don't tell me you didn't bother to put the clothes I gave into your suit case and just stuffed it into another suit case?" "Of course I did, I had no time to fit it in." said Sakura "Tomoyo, do you know that the clothes we are going to where have to be representing the school." Said Naoko. "Of course I know that, that's why I put our school sign, on all the left sleeves of all the tops." Said Tomoyo. Everyone sweat dropped. "And actually, you're aloud to bring two tops and pants that don't qualify as school material." Said Syaoran who just came in.
"Class, class, CLASS!!" everyone stopped doing whatever they were doing, hearing Terada sensei yell.
"Thank you, now we will start with putting you into your teams, if you sit down." Everyone ran to their seat and sat quietly waiting for their name to be called.
"Miaki, you may." Said Terada, to Miaki sensei. Miaki cleared her voice, and started. "There will be groups of five." She said. "Sasaki Rika, Mihara Chiharu, Yanagisawa Naoko, Kitoka Toriji, and Yamazaki Takashi." Toriji was an ok looking boy with light brown hair and silver misty eyes. "You are group A." "Tajaki Hina, Setare Gatiji, Tohari Yakona, Toshi Kone, and Haritaki Genkagi." "You are group B." Miaki sensei kept naming out the teams until she got to the last one. "And last is." "Li Syaoran, Kinomoto Sakura, Daidouji Tomoyo, Chan Xylo, and Tamotiake Hitaji." Syaoran fell to the floor.
Great I'm stuck with that imbecile!
Syaoran gave Hitaji an evil glare.
"You are group H."
As if Sakura was reading his, mind she slapped him across the head and whispered into his ear. "Syaoran why is it you always think badly of people? And I know what you're thinking." She hissed this loudly, but only loud enough for her Syaoran and Tomoyo to hear. "Watch what you're thinking!" Tomoyo started to giggle.
Sakura is like Li-kun's mother.
"Now get into you groups and we will show you which classes you will be sleeping in." Everyone got up and went into groups. As Syaoran, Sakura, and Tomoyo were walking to Xylo and Hitaji, Syaoran commented. "I've been camping and slept in the most uncomfortable places but this is ridiculous, we're sleeping in classes, classes."
They finally got to their group. They all said hi to each other, well except for Hitaji and Syaoran; they greeted each other with glares. "Would you two stop that, it's annoying." Said Xylo. Sakura and Tomoyo couldn't help but giggle, it was so funny to see Syaoran give a glare to his unlucky victim.
"What's so funny?" asked Hitaji. Tomoyo stopped laughing strait away, Sakura tried but still little giggles escaped from her mouth. She stated through giggles, "Nothing."
They started to follow the line that was heading out the door.
"We have separated the boys and girls into four classes according to your group letter." "Class 12-A will be given to group A and H boys." You could hear Syaoran groan and fall over. Sakura laughed. "Class 12-B will go to group A and H girls." The teachers went on and on about who will be sleeping in what class.
"Now I want you to unpack your stuff in your class and be in the gym by 8:30." "Hai!" Everyone said and went to there assigned class.
Syaoran was quick into unpacking he stuffed most of his stuff into a desk for safe keeping, and so they don't get dirty from the ground or someone steps on them. He then took all the desks in which he put his clothes and made then so that it was like one bed size table. He then laid his sleeping bag on top of the desks.
All the boys that were in his class were looking at him and sweat dropping.
What a neat freak.
Thought Hitaji who just threw everything out of his suitcase.
Syaoran then headed toward the door.
"Where you going?" asked Hitaji. "We aren't supposed to be there till 8:30 it's only 8:05." Hitaji smirked. "I'm not headed toward the gym." Syaoran said calmly. "Then where you headed?" asked Toriji. Takashi interrupted the conversation. "You know you don't have to go to them." They all stared at Takashi giving him the what the heck are you talking about look. "There is nothing better to do, and I rather be anywhere then with Tamotiake." Takashi shook his head. Syaoran slammed the door behind him as he left.
* * * * *
Syaoran walked up to room 12-B and knocked on the door. "Coming!" he heard Tomoyo say.
Tomoyo answered the door. "Li-kun!" "You're already done unpacking?!" yelled Naoko who was still getting her things out. "Of course he did, he always is so neat and so perfect on timing, he's so perfect in everything!" yelled Sakura in a frustrated voice.
Syaoran tilted his head so that he could look at Sakura. And sweat dropped.
Sakura hadn't even opened her suit cases yet.
"Sakura, you know we have to be in the gym at 8:30 right?" Syaoran said, still sweat dropping. "Of course I know!" Sakura yelled.
Why am I being so rebelling towards Syaoran? He didn't do anything.
Sakura thought but tagging at her mind was a bigger part saying.
What do you mean didn't do anything, he left you, he hurt you, he's avoiding you, you have the right to be rebelling him!
Sakura had a little argument going on in her head, finally the bigger part won.
I know I shouldn't be so close to Sakura but it's not my fault!
Syaoran walked over to Sakura, and reached for the latches on one of her suitcases.
"What do you think you are doing?!" "Opening your suitcase." Syaoran stated calmly. "I can do it!" Sakura said getting up to take the suitcase away from him. Syaoran dogged out of her reach. "It doesn't seam like it, you've spent a half hour trying to open it." "Give me that— a half hour!" yelled Sakura in more of a shocked way then in a question form. Syaoran nodded his head.
Then Takashi opened the door. "Hey guys, you better hurry up we're supposed to be in he gym in five minutes." Everyone quickly rushed out of the door. Syaoran easily opened the suitcases, and neatly started to put then in desks near by. "What are you doing?" Sakura asked. "Putting your clothes away, what does it look like?" After he stuffed all of the clothes Tomoyo gave Sakura into a few desks, he went to the other one to unpack that one. But Sakura grabbed it first blushing a light pink. "I'll unpack this one." Sakura said. Syaoran just kept still. "Syaoran, can't I have a little privacy!" Syaoran blushed about 3 shades of red, and then turned around.
After that, Sakura finally finished putting her clothes messily away. "Thanks Syaoran." Sakura said giving him one of her smiles that made Syaoran's heart melt so many times.
Syaoran and Sakura quickly ran down the stairs. "I can't believe how long it took you just to unpack!" Syaoran yelled as he and Sakura headed towards the gym. "Me! You're the one who kept distracting me!" "You don't need much concentration, to unpack you know." Syaoran said with a smirk on his face. Sakura glared at him.
As they finally reached the door everyone looked at them. "Sakura, Syaoran you are late I assume you have a good explanation, but we have no time for that quickly take your seat." Syaoran and Sakura took the two seats near their friends.
"I want you all to separate into your teams first." Said Terada sensei. Everyone quickly got into their teams.
"As I call your group's letter, one of your mates are to come and pick up the items we have for you. Then your group shall go somewhere to discus, whatever they need to discus. You have until 12:00 to do that, then after lunch we will meet in the library where we will show you the suspect, you will have to go around the school and look for clues, after that you look at your evidence and try to guess who the murderer of the victim is, if you don't figure it out right away don't worry, you will have a whole week to figure it out."
"Group A." Rika went up to Terada to get their utilities, and blushed as their fingers touched.
Terada went on and on calling the names until he reached the final group, group H.
"Group H." "I'll go get it." Xylo said as she walked up to Terada. As she got it Syaoran felt an aura, not that strong, probably because they were trying to hide it, but a glimpse of it was released at that moment.
Syaoran looked to Sakura to see if she too sensed it. Sakura's skin was pale as she sensed the aura, a shiver ran down her spine as she remembered the warning.
What will happen to us? Are we going to . . . no that would never happen, but what enemy or enemies will we have to face? Will we survive and concur over them, or will we lose . . .
Sakura shook her head violently. "Sakura." Syaoran whispered so that only Sakura could hear. "Did you feel it?" Sakura nodded. She was speechless. "Sakura it isn't that bad." Syaoran said and laughed a little, making Sakura at ease. She sighed.
As long as Syaoran is here beside me everything is going to be ok.
"Here." Xylo said as she shoved their utilities into Sakura's hands. "Hey, be careful." Sakura said teasingly.
The group looked at the items they will be working with. There was a booklet; the victim's diary. There were the basics of what the police think happened. There was a file on the disc of a secrete documentary made by the victim. There were five pairs of gloves, 15 plastic bags, five brushes. And a note from the teachers to give them a little information on what to do.
"Well want to go outside and discus this?" Tomoyo said in her always cheerful voice. Everyone nodded and headed outside.
"Well what should we do first?" asked Sakura. "I think we should read the note first, then the basics, then read the diary—what kind of guy has a diary." Suggested Syaoran and smirked at the last part of his sentence. "No! That's all wrong!" yelled Hitaji. "It should be we read the diary first, then the basics, then the letter." Syaoran gave him a death glare which scared the wits out of Hitaji. "But your idea is fine." he said. Syaoran lightened his glare. As Sakura read out the letter.
"Dear Group H, You—" "I guess they were to lazy to actually write our names." Smirked Hitaji. And everyone gave him a glare at his comment. "Just kidding go on go on." "As I was saying," Sakura said giving a slight smile to Hitaji. "Dear Group H,
You have the basics—which everyone has—the diary of the victim, and the secret documentary, these are one of the most important items. With this letter is a time table of your time to investigate, and what you will be doing at what time. You only get to go search the crime scene (do not worry if you think you won't be able to find any evidence if the scene has already bean searched. There is more then one of each evidence.)Only 2 times this week, so use your time wisely. You will also get to interview each criminal and they will be hiding some clues for you to find. You will have to work as a team to solve this crime, so please cooperate, this is also a chance for you to get to know each other better.—Syaoran and Hitaji smirked at this—We also include in this letter the suspects and what they do for a living their profile ect . . . The winner of the challenge (we mean the group not an individual) will win a free trip to Florida, with an extra ticket for each winner in the group, we also will be paying for your stay at the hotel, and will give you each 100 000 yen to spend (your yen will be changed into American money.) We hope you enjoy. And good luck.
Sincerely,
All staff, principle, vice principle, and The Seijou Junior High Fundraising Team."
There was silence for a wile between the group members. Sakura broke the silence, "I didn't know we had a fundraising team." Everyone sweat dropped. "I think we should try our hardest to win even though I don't like all of you . . ." He gave a glare towards Syaoran. "I really want to win, so let's try our best." "I really would like to go to Florida." Sakura said. "Ohohohohoho, I could tape Sakura, and make so many outfits! Oh, we have to win." Tomoyo said with stars in her eyes. Everyone sweat dropped at what Tomoyo calls her dream. But even so everyone agreed, to try their best.
Syaoran took the time table. "I'll go to the staff room and photo copy these." Syaoran said and headed off. "Wait don't you think we should photo copy everything we have, you know just in case we want to split up?" asked Sakura. Everyone nodded. Sakura quickly took all the paper items and chased after Syaoran.
After Syaoran and Sakura came back outside with the photo copies of everything, they even photo copies all pages from the diary. They put a paper clip to hold each subject in place. They gave one copy of the diary, the basics, the info of our suspects, and the time table. Then they each took one pair of gloves, a brush, and divided the bags.
"Ok, from now till 12:00 we go our separate ways and look at what we've got, once we meet up at 12:00 we tell each other of what we think, so we meet here at 12:00 got it?" Syaoran told everyone. Everyone nodded their heads in agreement. And went off their separate ways.
Tomoyo went to read it in the groups A and H girl's dorm. (Classroom) Hitaji went to read it in the groups A and H boy's dorm. (Classroom) Xylo went to read it in the library. Sakura went to read it in the cafeteria. Syaoran jumped up the nearest sakura tree and sat and read it there.
