Chapter: 3
The Mystery Behind the Scene
Day 1
Part B
As Syaoran sat on the branch on the sakura tree, he read over the letter again.
It would be nice to visit Florida, the sun, relaxation, extra private training time, etc . . .
Syaoran then tock out the basics of the mystery, thinking it would be best if he knew what was going on to understand what he was searching for.
It read . . .
On October 22nd there was a murder in the school of kintoma junior high school (Seijou junior high). The police think this is the basics of what happened. As the victim, sensei Kotashi Mianji went to his office (the library), he found a piece of paper lying on the desk next to his office. He picked it up and tock it into his office. The police guess that he has been getting these all month and have posted them in his diary, though they say they only just flipped through the pages not actually reading it. Though they say that the last note was not placed in his diary it was misplaced in his office somewhere and have not been able to find it yet. As he walked into his office he started of to his next exam for his students. The next day he couldn't find his exam answer sheet nor the exams he had copied for the students. The next night he walked back into his office they say he still didn't read the note from last night. The police could not find anything in between this and the crime scene. The crime scene did happen in his class room. (Room 17-B) When the murderer came and killed him. The police want you to investigate and try and solve who killed sensei Mianji and what exactly happened. Your conclusion and the conclusions from the other team will be, to see what fits in more perfectly. You have until the end of this week to verify the last statement. After that if we do not find out the culprit and what happened the case will be closed and the suspects will be let free, free of charge.
Syaoran read it twice, and then smirked to himself.
They give you so much information.
He stated sarcastically in his head.
It wouldn't have made a difference if I read it or not. I guess I should read the suspects next then read the diary, give a little estimate then see the time table.
Syaoran sighed reading this mystery some how reminded him of the old card captor days, when he sakura and the stuffed animal, and sometimes a little help from Tomoyo and Meiling, had to find out how to capture the card, and what it will do, and were it will strike next.
I have to admit even with that stuffed animal and all the danger, and not being able to capture the cards and be the card master. Witch I don't really care for anymore, were the best years of my life, and I'll never forget any detail about them, especially not Sakura.
Syaoran took out the suspects' sheet.
First was Jasmine, sensei Mianji's 25 year old next door neighbor. She is 5'4 strait bright red layered hair. She is also one of his students, and was caught sneaking around in his office several times. Her ex-boyfriend Ned just recently broke up with her after the death of sensei Mianji, but says that he was having doubts about their relation ship long before.
Ned is the second suspect, he was sadly disappointed when the sensei died yet not in a sorrow way. Friends also say that him and Jasmine were secretly planning things that had something to do with sensei Mianji long before. Also student of sensei Mianji.
Third suspect is Maxamire, preferred to be called Max the Pain in the Ass, and was Ned's and Jasmine's closest and best friend. He was always causing raucous around the school and has really got it for the staff, especially sensei Mianji. Also student of sensei Mianji.
Fourth suspect is sensei Tiatanji, the science teacher. Ever since he started his job at Kintoma Junior High school he always wanted the job as a math teacher. (Witch is Mianji's job) Tiatanji always envied the math teacher and tried to make their job difficult. (To make them quit) Of course Mianji was a man who not easily gave up. And he and Tiatanji had a strange past in their child hood, witch made Tiatanji hate him even more.
There are also sayings that sensei Mianji killed himself for the sake of it. Though there is no evidence to support that theory, you may investigate this.
There were a few accusations towards Chochang Mihataji, Mianji's loyal, sensitive, nice, helpful secretary. Though there is no reason to believe that she is the culprit, and no evidence, we still put her in our list because there was a high majority who believed that she was the murderer.
The head of the Kintoma Police Department.
Officer J. Magintery
Syaoran put down the suspects' list, he felt as if he was a real detective in this mystery; it was sweeping him away into its world.
Syaoran shock his head violently, he jumped off the tree with perfect accuracy.
I'll read the diary later right now I'm starving.
Syaoran's stomach growled.
* * * * *
In the library Xylo just finished reading the basics.
This really isn't me, I really do hate mysteries, they hold you in suspense, they make you to anxious, but I have to say that this has a pretty good story line they make it seem as if you are really in this world of fantasy well not really, but still it's ok.
One part of her brain was telling her that, but a smaller part with a little more will power said other wise.
But there have been times were magic can sweep you away off your feet.
* * * * *
Sakura was in the cafeteria, though Sakura had finished the basic's and the suspects' list, she was about to start the diary, witch was really long considering it started before he was asked to be math teacher of the school. But her stomach growled when she was about to start reading, and since then she just couldn't take her eyes off the food they were making in the cafeteria.
Oh please hurry up and start serving the food, I can't last longer, soon I'm going to eat this diary, hey wasn't I suppose to read that, o well I'll do it later.
Just then Syaoran ran through the doors. "Is the food ready yet?!" Syaoran yelled he was starving. Sakura giggled as he said this. Syaoran glanced at her and gave her a glare, but couldn't hold it long so just stated in a meter of factly way, "Hey, I'm hungry cant a guy eat around here, without getting tormented by a girl!?!" Sakura giggled.
Suddenly in a matter of two seconds the Cafeteria was filled with hungry teenagers. Tomoyo pushed her self through the crowd and sat next to Syaoran and Sakura. Soon joining them was Chiharu, Naoko, Rika, and Takashi.
"Hey can I sit here?" asked Alyana. Everyone at the table stopped talking and looked at who was talking to them. "Sure!" Sakura said happily.
You can never have to many friends; it will be nice to get to know Kinowa- san.
"Hey Kinowa-san, are you the master criminal?" asked Takashi, who was getting a glare from Chiharu. "Just call me Alyana, and I'm sorry but I can't tell you." "Oh, all right." Said Takashi a little disappointed. "Oh! How rood of us, we haven't introduced our selves." Said Tomoyo. "I'm Daidouji Tomoyo . . ." "I'm Yanagisawa Naoko . . ." Naoko continued. "Yamazaki Takashi . . ." Takashi followed "Mihara Chiharu . . ." "Sasaki Rika . . ." "Kinomoto Sakura . . ." There was a pause; everyone looked at Syaoran who was just looking at the part of the kitchen that showed in the cafeteria.
"Hello Syaoran, you're supposed to say who you are." Takashi said.
"I wonder what they're serving." Syaoran asked more to himself. Everyone fell off their seat anime stile.
"Syaoran!" Sakura yelled. Syaoran turned his glaze to Sakura. "What do you want?" He grumbled. "We were introducing our selves to Kinowa-chan, and you didn't say a word."
"Oh, I'm Li Syaoran." Syaoran said giving a slight bow to Alyana before turning back to Sakura. "There you happy now?" Sakura just turned away from him and said, "You never will change will you?" Syaoran was taken back, but quickly recovered before anyone could notice.
It's not like I actually want to act like this towards you guys especially not you Sakura . . . but it's not a matter of what I want or do not want to do, I have no other choice.
"Hello." Alyana said to all of them. Sakura looked at Alyana and smiled.
Someone from behind Syaoran cleared his voice. Syaoran turned around only to be greeted by Hitaji. Syaoran gave him a cold glare before asking, "What do you want?" "All the other tables are full and I have no other place to eat, trust me I wouldn't come to this table unless it was my last resort." Hitaji said keeping his glare on Syaoran who did the same. "Sure." Said Naoko.
* * * * *
Tomoyo went to see if the food was ready yet, so she could call everyone to eat, but like she expected the lunch ladies were still putting the food up.
She was heading back to her table when she saw Xylo leaning alone against the wall. Tomoyo approached her. "Do you want to come eat with us we have plenty of space at our table?" Xylo looked at Tomoyo in surprise, she didn't expect anyone to come up to her and ask her to eat with them. She smiled and replied, "Sure, why not." Xylo followed Tomoyo back to their table. "Oh by the way I'm Daidouji Tomoyo." "I'm Chan Xylo as you probably already know."
Soon they reached the table. "Hey, Chan-chan is going to sit with us from lunch ok?" Tomoyo sat next to Sakura and scooted over so there was in of space for Xylo to sit next to Alyana.
Suddenly the dark blue sapphire in the middle of the black velvet collar and the clear white sapphire in the middle of the white velvet collar around Alyana's and Xylo's neck glowed with the most intense brightness. Sakura and Syaoran's glaze flew to them in a matter of seconds. Alyana zipped up her collar of her sweater to block the light, as Xylo let her hair down from her pony tail to smudge the brightness from her collar, you would think it was just a little bright because of the sun reflecting on it.
Xylo and Alyana stole a glance at each other before finding great interest in the walls.
"Wow those are some great collars you guys have, and I just love those sapphires, I never really noticed them before." Said Rika. Xylo and Alyana lost their interest in the walls and stared at Rika. "Thanks." They both were able to choke out. "I'm Rika." Rika continued. "Oh! I can't believe I have to say my name all over again." Takashi said, and then glanced at Tomoyo. "Couldn't you have brought her here earlier?" For saying this Takashi's award was to get slapped over on the head. "Takashi! Don't be so selfish, all you are saying is 'I'm Yamazaki Takashi' is that so hard!" Chiharu yelled.
As they were still arguing Rika thought it would be a better idea if she just said everyone's name. "That boy over there you see getting slobbered is Yamazaki Takashi . . ." She said pointing at Takashi. "And the girl slobbering him is Mihara Chiharu . . ." She said moving her finger slightly so she was now pointing at Chiharu. "Hey, you know it's rude to point at people?" Naoko stated. "How else am I supposed to show them who I'm talking about? Describe them? That would take forever . . . Oh ya that's Yanagisawa Naoko . . ." "And that's Daidouji Tomoyo with the raven purple hair she probably already told you her name . . ." Rika said taking Naoko's advice and stopped pointing. "And the girl with the silky blonde hair is Kinowa Alyana, as you probably know . . ." "And the boy with dirty blond hair is . . ." "Tamotiake Hitaji." He said
How am I supposed to describe Sakura, and Syaoran? Ohohohohohoh I know . . .
"And you see those two that look like such a kawaii couple? Ya well the auburn hair girl is Kinomoto Sakura and the chestnut hair boy is Li Syaoran." Rika said proud of herself.
Syaoran and Sakura blushed crimson.
While Tomoyo gave Rika a high five for the great idea.
"You know you could have just said 'The girl with auburn hair is Kinomoto Sakura, and the boy with chestnut hair is Syaoran' they would have realized who we were that way with out unnecessary description." Sakura said simply
"Of course that was necessary." Naoko said, while giving Rika a high five after Tomoyo gave her one. "Oh, ya how come?" Syaoran asked simply. ". . ." Naoko scampered for the right words.
Tomoyo realized the tension and acted on instinct. "Well it's nice to meat you Chan-san." "Just Xylo, and it was nice to meat you to Daidouji-san, Kinowa-san, Yamazaki-san, Mihara-san, Yanagisawa-san, Li-san, Tamotiake-san, and Kinomoto-san." Xylo said giving a slight smile, which was given half heartedly. "No need for formality, just call us on first name basis." Tomoyo said cheerfully. Xylo gave them a half hearted smile.
"I'm starving, I'm ganna get something to eat . . . Syaoran you coming?" Takashi said as he was getting out of his seat, while Syaoran quickly rushed to him to see the food.
"I just hope that Takashi doesn't tell Syaoran any of his lies . . . again." Chiharu stated. "You think he's a problem?" Sakura said almost outraged. Everyone looked at her. "Syaoran is acting like a real jerk!!" Sakura practically yelled, but only loud in of for the group to hear and maybe a few people from the other group. "Wow! Sakura calm down, Li's not that bad." Naoko said. "Ya, he just came back from Hong Kong he has to get used to Tomoeda again." Said Rika. "And you know how nice Li can be once you get to know him." Tomoyo said, and she Chiharu, Rika, and Naoko gave her a wink. Alyana, Hitaji and Xylo were a little confused but kind of got the idea. "And anyways no one is as bad as my Takashi . . ." Everyone had there eyes on Chiharu. "Your Takashi . . .?" Sakura asked totally clueless, as usual. Everyone looked at Sakura and sweat dropped, even Alyana and Xylo new what was going on between them. "Um . . . Sakura haven't you thought it was weird the they've been spending so much time together?" Naoko asked. Sakura just looked at them still confused. "Um . . . No, is there something I'm supposed to know?" "Sakura not every couple started out like you and Li did." Said Rika. Alyana and Xylo looked at Sakura wide eyed, they finally found the true understanding to the wink indicated to Sakura before. Sakura was blushing now. But sighed and had a saddened look on her face. "But I'm not sure if he even feels that way anymore . . . He's been acting strange these few days." Tomoyo looked at her friend sympathetically.
* * * * *
Syaoran and Takashi got the food it wasn't the every day selections, they all got the same thing, and I guess it was because of the fact that they aren't going to pay for the food this week.
They got mashed potatoes, on the side of calamari, shrimp, rice, a can of coke or raspberry kiwi Fruitopia, and for dissert a slice of triple chocolate cake.
Syaoran licked his lips thinking about it.
Takashi was walking very unevenly, he was carrying four trays. Two on each arm. Wile Syaoran was carrying six and yet didn't have any difficulty carrying them, well except for the fact that he had one balancing one on his head witch he received acward stares.
"I think we should have asked someone to come help us." Takashi stated as once again he almost got knocked over by a guy running passed him. Syaoran turned to look at Takashi. "I don't know what you are complaining about you have to only carry four and you don't have one balancing on your head . . . but looking at that offal posture you have, and the way you are caring them, and your need for balance, we should have either brought someone else along or I would be better off caring those by myself." Syaoran said. "Hey!" Takashi said, acting hurt.
They finally reached the table, and carefully settled the trays in front of their doom. As they did Sakura looked at Syaoran with worry, hope, and curiosity. Syaoran sat next to her and ate. The table was quiet.
I wonder if he still cares for me . . . maybe he already has a girlfriend . . . maybe he just has to get used to Tomoeda again . . . WHAT IS WITH THE SILENCE!
Sakura was frantic she hated the silence and wanted it to end as soon as possible. "Um . . . well what do you think about the mystery challenge so far guys?" Syaoran said feeling the exact same way as Sakura. Sakura gave him a thankful look, as Syaoran couldn't help but leave a glimpse of caring in his piercing amber eyes. "Ohohohohohoh!!!" Tomoyo exclaimed. Everyone looked at her. "I mean, it needs romance." Tomoyo said, as everyone sweat dropped. "Well I think it's an ok story, but it needs to have more . . . more . . ." Takashi said trying to find the right word to describe, what he was thinking. "Lies!" Chiharu yelled. "No . . ." Takashi said still thinking, but Chiharu knew that whatever he said would sound like lies to her. "More, fiction more of a story line, more detail." Takashi said. "Lies!" Chiharu yelled. Everyone was holding giggles, and sweat dropping from Chiharu's predictable comment. "No, really that's what I thin—" "Lies! Those words are all synonyms for lies!" Chiharu yelled once again. Sakura couldn't help herself any longer, she broke into laughter. "You know Mihara, you should give Yamasaki a break, he has had a habit of telling stories—" "Lies!" Chiharu yelled cutting Syaoran off. "Whatever, for a long time, do you think he will stop now?" "Thank you Syaoran, and stop calling me Yamasaki, just Takashi!" "Fine" Syaoran mumbled. "Well I have to at least try and fix him of his stupidity." Chiharu said going back to her food as everyone else did.
It's quiet again hum I wonder . . ., I've got what to say!
"Don't you think its so kawaii that Jasmine and Ned is a criminal couple?!" Tomoyo yelled for joy. Everyone sweat dropped. "You think criminals can be kawaii when they are evil?" Hitaji stated shocked. "Ya! They're so busy in their criminal life yet they still have time for love." Tomoyo sighed. "I think she's crazy." Hitaji whispered to himself. "Ya crazy for anything that in anyways can be considered kawaii." Sakura whispered to Hitaji and Syaoran. "Hey! I heard that . . . and I must admit your right!" Tomoyo yelled in delight. "Right . . ." Syaoran just went back to eating his food. "Oh did you see the grand prize!" Naoko said with stars in her eyes. "I so want to go to Florida!" Rika yelled. "Ya I guess it will be fun." Xylo said. "Hey you get a free ticket to go there anyhow don't you Kino— I mean Alyana- chan?" Chiharu asked. "Ya, because I'm helping with it and acting out one of the characters." Alyana stated. "We all get like 2 tickets I think, so if we do, we'll invite you guys to come with us." Rika said, and everyone in that group nodded. "But we have to ask Kitoka-san first." Rika said. "No need." Said a voice from behind them, there was Toriji. "I decided to come eat with you guys since, all my friends are eating with their mates." Rika scooted over for Toriji to sit. "And just call me Toriji." He said smiling at everyone at the table. "What time is it?" Sakura asked. "Um . . . 11:45, why?" Rika asked. "Because I don't want to be late for our next session." Sakura stated. "Look who's talking." Syaoran smirked. "Hump!" Sakura stuck her chin up and crossed her arms. "I'm surprised you made it on time today." Syaoran stated. "Well sorry if I'm not Mr. Perfect like someone I know . . ." Sakura changed her glance back to Syaoran. "Baka, being perfect, witch I'm not by the way, is better then being messy, late, childish, ignorant, always optimistic, witch for once your not, annoying, stubborn, and obnoxious." Syaoran said. "Um, Syaoran you know your also ignorant, annoying and obnoxious?" Tomoyo said. Sakura laughed, as Syaoran turned red. "Well then at least I'm not childish, messy or optimistic . . ." "No, you the total opposite Syaoran, you're pessimistic." Sakura stated.
Everyone knew that when Syaoran and Sakura fight, it lasts long, and they also know that they can't stand being mad at each other, so better break them up before the fight goes too deep.
"I wonder what Florida is like?" Toriji asked, one of the only people who didn't know how bad of a fight this would turn into but sort of got the idea. "Ya, I hope one of us win!" Chiharu yelled with delight.
Syaoran and Sakura stopped fighting and thought them selves what it would be like in Florida. "Relaxing . . ." They both said at the same time. "Just another quality of that couple, though they fight, and make bets most of the time, it's like they share the same mind, always thinking of what the other is thinking . . . It's so kawaii!!" Tomoyo said dreamingly. "Don't you ever care of what is happening in your life?" Alyana asked. "Ya, don't you have like 1000 tapes by now of Sakura?" Rika asked. "Well actually I probably had but I cut some seines out, and put a few tapes together, and I found some witch weren't all that exciting but all together, it turned out to be about 250 tapes." Tomoyo said proudly. "Maybe you should try out for some kind of movie compotation or something." Hitaji said sarcastically. "I did, The Best Tween to Teen Made Movie." Tomoyo said proudly. "What did you call it 'Sakura the Fabulous'" Hitaji joked again. "Um . . . no I named it Card Captor Sakura, and Friends." Tomoyo said in a mater of factly voice. Sakura and Syaoran both spit out the coke they've been drinking. "You did what!!!" they both yelled. "Don't worry Li-kun, they'll just think that it was a well done special effects movie." "You are not supposed to use this stuff for your own gain!" Syaoran yelled. "Oh come on, it's not like anyone will care, your with me right Sakura?" "I don't know . . ."
Everyone looked at them not knowing anything about the words that were coming out of their mouths.
"I think Syaoran's right, he usually is." Sakura said. "You mean always is." Syaoran said stubbornly. "No usually!" "Whatever" Syaoran said rolling his eyes, then looked back towards Tomoyo, "The point is you shouldn't have done that." "Ya" Sakura said. "Well come on maybe we'll get something out of it?" Tomoyo said trying to reason with the couple. "Like what?" Syaoran asked sarcastically. "Oh, really, you think so!" Sakura said, excited about what she might get. "Even if we do get something, will it make up for the price of them finding out our . . . ." Syaoran lowered his voice so only Sakura and Tomoyo could hear, but unfortunately the rest of the group pushed their heads toward the three to hear, but Syaoran still said it. "Secret" "What secret!" Hitaji yelled. "Nothing!" Tomoyo, Sakura, and Syaoran yelled quickly at the same time. "If it's nothing why did you whisper," Toriji said. "Because . . ." Syaoran said. "Because why?" Hitaji asked. "Because . . ." Sakura said. "Because, Because why?" Naoko asked. "Because, Because, Because . . ." But this time it didn't come for Sakura, Syaoran nor Tomoyo, it was from . . . . "Takashi?" Chiharu asked. "Ya" "Why did you say 'Because, Because, Because?'" Takashi shrugged. "Right . . ." Rika said.
"What is our next session anyways?" Xylo asked.
Syaoran being the most organized took out the schedule from his pocket.

"We Have an Assembly next." Stated Syaoran.
"How come when she asks its ok, but when I ask it isn't!?" Sakura yelled furiously. "That's because you never asked!" Syaoran retorted. "Yes I did I said 'what time is it?' Then Rita told me, and asked why and I said 'because I don't want to be late for our next session.'!" "See it's totally different, she asked what our next session is, you asked what time is it because you don't want to be late!" Syaoran argued. "Same difference!" Sakura yelled. "No it isn't!" Syaoran yelled back. "Yes it is!" "No it isn't!" "Yes it is!" "No it isn't!" "Yes it is!" "No it isn't!" "Yes it is!" "No it isn't!" "Yes it is!" "No it isn't!" "Yes it is!" "No it isn't!" "Shut up!!" Tomoyo and Chiharu yelled. "Your arguments are more annoying then Takashi!" "No it isn't!" Both Sakura and Syaoran yelled at the same time. "Yes it is . . ." Said Chiharu harshly. "I can't believe you guys can fight so much, and yet still have in of energy for more." Naoko Said. "Fighting doesn't need a lot of energy." Said Syaoran. "Well at least not this kind . . ." "Did you know that people used to get energy, by inhabiting other people bodies, and then add the energy the person used to struggle, and put it back in their own—" "Oww!!" "Never mind, I was wrong Takashi's stories are more annoying then your arguments." "RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!" "Bye, see you at, well at the next time we see you. Bye!!" Rita smiled as she and her group got up and left to the auditorium. "I guess we should go too." Said Tomoyo emptying the left over of her lunch in the garbage. "What a waste of food, Kero would have gladly eaten it." Sakura said. "That stuffed animal would eat anything as long as it can go down." Syaoran said. "Who's Kero?" Hitaji asked following the others.
"Well I hope you know by now the suspects, if you don't we will gladly show you them, now though you must read the suspect list." Said Miaki sensei.
"Hello, I'm jasmine." Said Jessica, one of the grade eights. "I'm innocent, really I never loathed sensei or anything, sure I hated his hard tests, but if you had one of those things you would hate them too, but I never did it, he was nice in a way, you know?"
"Oh, really? Then how come you always tried to make his life a living hell? You never even wept, you never even came to his funeral!" yelled Ned. "As I recall, neither were you! And don't forget you're a suspect too, witch makes you just as guilty, if not more!" "Can't youse people just shut up!?" Maxamire yelled. "Shut up Max! If anything it was you, but knowing you, you would blame it on us, but they still consider you a suspect ha!" Jasmine accused Max. "I didn't do it this time mate." "Wait youse two are ganging up on me aren't ya?" Max yelled outraged. "After all I got youse two through, you betray me like that!?!" "All three of you have detention!" yelled Tiatanji sensei. "Hey you, are the true mastermind, we all know you always loathed the people who became the Math sensei." Said Ned. "You are framing a teacher, you can get expelled for that you know?!" Sensei yelled outraged. "Everyone calm down, who ever is the real murderer will captured in due time." Chochang Mihataji said calmly. Alyana came into view. "I don't know how you in any way can be the murderer, Mss. Mihataji." Said sensei. "Ya mate, don't you think he new the murderer already he would 'ave called the authorities or somethin'?" Max said in his Australian accent.
The curtains started to close, as Miaki sensei came into view. "I hope now you have a better understanding of the suspects Chose your criminal wisely!"
All the groups started to reform, and plan what do to in their free space.
"I'm going to rest." Said Sakura. "Ya, I'm exhausted." Said Syaoran.
The group separated to have their rest for an hour and twenty minutes.
* * * * * * * *
As Sakura lay on her bed hugging her Syaoran-Bear, she was thinking about events of the past few weeks. How Syaoran's behavior, changed rapidly.
If he doesn't change . . . then . . . then . . . then I have no clue what the hell am I supposed to do!! What was that creature that appeared to us, who is it's master, or masters or arugh!! I don't know what to do!! I wish I brought Kero with me.
Tomoyo soon waked into the door. "Hey Sakura, feeling alright? You look ill." "I'm just thinking . . ." was Sakura's reply "What if Syaoran hates me again, like when we first meat? What if I have to gain his trust all over again?" Sakura wondered out loud.
"That wont happen." Tomoyo reassured her. "How do you know?" Sakura asked. "Because you guys tell me everything." Tomoyo replied. "What does that have to do with how you know?" Sakura asked. "It has nothing to do with it, just trying to change the subject." Tomoyo said as Sakura sweat dropped. "You know every time you fainted Li was always there to catch you, when you were in trouble Li was always there to help you, whenever you were losing a battle Li was always there to help you win, and no matter what he will always be there, and that's how I know . . . and why else do you think he came back to Japan?" Tomoyo said Sakura smiled, "I just wish he wouldn't be so hard to figure out." "That's what makes it fun to tape you two!" Tomoyo said with stars in her eyes. "Hoe??!" was all Sakura could say.
* * * * * *
Sakura wasn't the only one thinking about the past events . . . Xylo was sitting out side with her back up against a cherry blossom tree.
Who is this Alyana person? Why has she come here, why does she have a similar collar to mine? And why does our collars glow with this light when she's near me?
So many question were passing through her head. And she wanted them all answered before she got in her way.
'Where are you when I need you . . . you . . . you stupid old lady!!'
Xylo shouted in her mind.
'I'm right here, as long as you wear the collar I'm always with you. AND I'M NOT STUPID OR AN OLD LADY!! DO I SOUND LIKE AN OLD LADY TO YOU!!!??!!'
The lady shouted back inside Xylo's mind.
'Answer my questions!!!'
She yelled in distress.
'Stupid little girl, can't you figure things by yourself, and leave me to rest?!'
The spirit retorted.
'NOOO!!'
Xylo said back.
'Fine, fine Alyana will be a mystery to you because I have no clue who she is!! So how the hell should I know why she is here or why she has a similar collar! And here's a hint maybe she came because this is a public school for everyone to go to!! And how am I supposed to know why your collars glow, I'm no scientist!!!'
The sprit yelled her so called answers to Xylo.
'You are no help at all! Why the hell did I let this happen!?!'
'That I can answer . . . for more power!!'
'No, you think?!'
'Yes I do.'
'I was being sarcastic you idiot!!!'
'I'm not an idiot you idiot!!!'
'Shut up!'
'No you!'
'You!'
'You!'
'You!'
'You!'
'You!'
'You!'
'You!'
'You!'
'You!'
'You!'
'Your so childish! How old are you?!'
Xylo yelled.
'I'm just an old lady like you said!!'
'If you're going to share my mind I better at least get to know you!!"
Xylo said frustrated.
'I'm 18 years old.'
The spirit said.
'What!! How are you a spirit then aren't you supposed to be dead?'
Xylo retorted
'Well sorry. But you don't have to be an 'old lady' to be dead!'
'sorry'
'Better be!'
'how'd you die?'
Xylo asked
'none of your business!'
'who's the one sharing my mind here!'
Xylo said.
'you volunteered!'
'shut up!'
'No!'
'you can at least tell me your name see as you already know mine.'
'I don't feel like chatting anymore, thank you.'

Syaoran was also outside, sitting on a branch on a sakura tree. And why don't you just guess what he was doing . . . yes thinking about the past events.
Ok, lets see . . . what unusual things happened. This crazy creature threatens me and Sakura. I got a stupid letter all of a sudden from my cousin, who is now a high elder Telling me to do crazy things against all my will. Auras appearing out of no were. Xylo with her strange new collar, as well as Alyana. And that mysterious glow coming out of their collars. Now how many of these questions are answered? Lets see . . . 1 . . . 2 . . .3 . . . none!!!
Syaoran swiftly jumped off the tree and landed on his both feet perfectly. He started for his room to just rest, and stop thinking!
* * * * *
The group meat up 10min before the rules were to be told in the auditorium.
"I'm too lazy to listen to the rules." Said Sakura. "Aren't you always?" Syaoran remarked. "Shut up, and no I'm not." Sakura said back, in their own little way, Syaoran was starting a challenge, and Sakura excepted it. "Really? Prove it!" Syaoran asked. ". . ." "Thought so." "Just shut up!"
"Guys, how'd you say we skip it?" Hitaji asked, with a glint of evil in his eyes. "Fine, I don't really care, he already told us the rules anyways." Syaoran said. "I'm in." Xylo said.
Finally some excitement.
Tomoyo swept out her camera, "OHOHOHOHOHOH!!!!! This is going to be fun, I'll call it "skippin' the borin'", Sakura you in?" Asked Tomoyo. "What if we get caught though, what is something bad happens to us and they don't know where we are?" Sakura said concerned. "Nothing bad will happen, baka." Syaoran retorted. Sakura went stiff. "I'm in."
"So where are we going?" Tomoyo asked while walking up the stairs with the rest of the group. "To the roof." Said Hitaji. There was only five minutes left till the rules, and everyone was heading towards downstairs.
Soon they reached the door, only 2 minutes to spare. "We're here!" Hitaji announced. He went to open the door but it wouldn't budge. "It's not opening!" Hitaji said in alarm. "Move!" Syaoran said pushing Hitaji out of the way. "It's locked." He stated calmly. "We can't go out of school grounds, that's too dangerous." Sakura stated. "Follow me!" Syaoran said as he started running down the stairs. "Wait!" Sakura yelled after him and followed with the rest of the group.
"Are you mad!" Hitaji said through breaths. "We only have one minute till we have to be at the auditorium!" Xylo said. "We'll get caught!" Hitaji finished. "You're so boring, this is what makes skipping fun!" Syaoran said as he ran out the door. "What are we doing here!" Hitaji yelled. "We're skipping the rules remember?" "I know that!" "Then why'd you ask?" Syaoran asked. "I mean what are we doing outside?" "I just answered that." Syaoran said annoyed. "Whatever."
Syaoran went up to a tree; he grabbed hold of one of the branches, and flipped himself high up into the tree. "How did he do that?" Hitaji asked Sakura. She just smiled and followed his lead. Soon everyone was up the tree, even Tomoyo who had to be very careful, and Sakura who had to grab hold of Syaoran for balance several times. Yes even Hitaji, who was more of dragged up there. "Now what?" Hitaji asked annoyed. "Well, you wanted to go on the roof." Syaoran said, with one of his famous rare smiles, but this one seemed mischief. "So we're going on the roof." Syaoran said as he took one big jump, and landed on the roof of the school swiftly.
"Are you mad!" Hitaji yelled to him. "No!" Syaoran said back calmly. Sakura was next she took one big jump and landed next to Syaoran. "I knew you would join me." Syaoran said "Of course, I wasn't about to let you have all the fun." Sakura smiled at him Tomoyo was next, a little wobbly, but never the less she made it. Xylo went after, she was almost as perfect as Syaoran. "You're all mad!!" Hitaji yelled to them. "Fine don't join us." Syaoran said as he turned around. "Wait I'm coming!" He yelled, as he jumped, he landed right on the edge, Xylo had to grab him to keep him from falling over.
"So, um what do we do from here?" Hitaji asked. It was quiet. "How about we play a game?" Tomoyo asked. "But of course, I cant be in it, I have to tape it." Everyone sweat dropped. "What kind of game?" asked Xylo. "how about a stunt game, were all of us have to do the same stunt." Everyone was surprised, not by the thought, but by who the thought was said by. "Sakura?" Tomoyo asked. "Are you ok?" "I'm fine." Sakura said. "Oh Tomoyo that also means you." "Fine." "Great!" "Lets start." Xylo stated. "Who wants to pick out the first stunt?" Tomoyo asked. They were quiet again. "Come on people, there has to be something." Sakura said in distress. "I have one why don't we go into the ventilation and go to the part in the auditorium, then we all make ghost sounds, like to add on to this stupid story as if there's a ghost of . . . what was his name again?" "Sensei Kotashi Mianji?" Tomoyo asked. "Ya, him." Hitaji said. Everyone looked at each other trying to figure out there answer. "It's lame, but fine." Syaoran said. Soon the rest agreed. "Um, but how do you suppose we get into the ventilation?" Sakura asked. "I have an idea." Syaoran said.
Syaoran quietly opened the door to the roof, they all pilled out, as they looked, up and there in front of their eyes, was an entrance to the ventilation. But the problem was that it was way to high for anyone to reach.
"Ouch! That's my hand!" Hitaji yelled. "This is so uncomfortable!" Xylo exclaimed. "Almost there!" Sakura said. "Just a little more!"
The group had decided to make a human tower; on the bottom was Syaoran, who had to carry all the weight. Second was Hitaji, who complained every five seconds. After him was Xylo, who strongly protested against the idea, on top of her was Tomoyo, who was having trouble taping Sakura and the rest, mostly Sakura, and keeping her on top. Sakura was the one who was the one opening the ventilation shaft.
"There!" She yelled Tomoyo tripped as she was barely able to hold Sakura anymore, which caused the whole tower to topple over, except for Sakura who in this process was able to grab the edge of the shaft and lifted herself inside. "Come on!" Sakura said down at them as she stretched her arms out so that they can grab a hold of her. "We can't reach Sakura." Tomoyo stated without any attempt to even try. "Well then make another human tower and get up here." "Oh, no please don't!" "If you don't your not doing the stunt which means you have to give us each $5." Sakura stated calmly. "Hey! That wasn't part of the deal!" Hitaji yelled. "Well now it is!" Sakura yelled back.
Just then, the group heard footsteps heading towards them. "Hurry!" Sakura whispered harshly. Tomoyo got on Xylo who got on Hitaji who got on Syaoran, Sakura grabbed her friends hand and reeled her in. Holding Tomoyo's legs Sakura made sure that Xylo got in safely. The footsteps were getting louder and louder. "Come on!" Sakura urged Hitaji, as she held Tomoyo's legs, who held Xylo's legs who grabbed Hitaji. "I'm not going to dangle from here to get him up!" Hitaji said once he was safely inside. "Go!" Syaoran yelled as the man turned the corned and came face to face with . . . . the door to the roof. The guy scratched his head, "I could have sworn I heard someone." He turned around and walked off. "That was close." Tomoyo said. "How do you jump like that?" Hitaji asked Syaoran as they started to crawl. "Gens." Syaoran stated calmly. "But your not wearing jeans." Hitaji said. Tomoyo laughed. "What?" "Nothing." Tomoyo said. "We're here!" Syaoran whispered, as he removed the shaft. "Ok who goes first." Asked Tomoyo "Lets make this fun." Xylo said. "After every sentence per person, another one has to continue, and so on, it will go me, Sakura, Tomoyo, Syaoran, and then Hitaji. You all have to divide up. Me and Hitaji will take that one." She said pointing to another shaft, "Syaoran and Sakura will take this one, and Tomoyo, you'll be solo over there." She said pointing to another shaft. They all nodded their heads in agreement.
* * * * * *
"OOOOOWWOOOOO! I'm the ghost of Sensei Kotashi Mianji OOOOOHHHHH!" Xylo started first muffling her voice and making it faint. "Your good." Hitaji said. "Thanx."
* * * * * *
"There's no such thing, Sensei Kotashi Mianji isn't even a real person!" Some kid from the auditorium said.
"OOOOOOHHHHH! Who am I then? OOOOOOOO!" Sakura said.
* * * * * *
Everyone in the auditorium gulped. "I have come for my REVENGE!" Tomoyo yelled, emphasizing on the revenge.
* * * * * *
"And when I find you . . ." Syaoran said mycheifly.
* * * * * *
"You will die a most horrible DEATH!" Hitaji said darkly.
* * * * * *
"A death that will make the havens shake with fear!"
* * * * * *
"And the blood will be my comfort!"
* * * * * *
"My food, my hunger."
* * * * * *
"And you will wish you never heard the name . . . ."
* * * * * *
"Sensei Kotashi Mianji!!!" Hitaji finished.
* * * * * *
The kids screamed as they ran out of the auditorium in fear. As the group in the ventilation laughed their heads off and gave each other high fives.
In the auditorium the principle yelled to the teachers. "They're in the shaft get them!"
The group heard this, and panicked.
"What are we going to do; they're going to catch us!" Hitaji yelled. "Quiet!" Syaoran said. "This way." They were moving slowly trying not to make a sound so that the teachers couldn't hear them. First stop, classroom 12-B, they dropped the girls off as they went to their own room.
* * * * * *
"That was so much fun!" Hitaji said as then got to their room. "Ya I guess, lets just hope they wont figure out it was us who did it" Syaoran said in reply. "Do what?" Toriji asked. "Nothing!" They both said in defense. "Why weren't you at the rules session?" Takashi asked. "What session?" Hitaji replied sweat dripping from his forehead. "Whatever." Toriji said annoyed. "Snacks are next!" Takashi yelled with glee. "Ya we know." Hitaji said, as he went to lie down on the floor.
* * * * *
Sakura was smiling as she lay down staring at the ceiling in wonder.
"So you and Syaoran huh?" Xylo asked as she stole the smile right off Sakura's face. "What do you mean?" Sakura asked as she sat up. "You know . . ." "No I don't." Sakura answered. "Are you two going out?" Xylo asked. "Well, um no I guess." Sakura answered frowning.
What's she up to . . .
Sakura liked having Xylo around but something just wasn't right about her.
"So you too are just friends?" Xylo asked. "I hope so . . ." was all Sakura could say and it came in a low whisper.
Xylo got up from next to Sakura and left her without another word.
* * * * * *
At the lunch room everyone was talking about the events that happened at the rules session.
"You guys missed it!" Rika said with a smile. "Ya there was like a ghost of . . . what was his na—" "HOE!!!! GHOST!!" Sakura said in fright as she grabbed hold of Syaoran. Even though she knew it was them, I guess she just got used to screaming at the thought of one. "I can't believe you're still afraid of ghosts." Syaoran said as he shook his head. "Sensei Kotashi Mianji?" Tomoyo offered. "Ya, him." Chiharu said. Sakura slightly let go of Syaoran as they started conversing again. "It was so cool!" Naoko cheered. "Ghosts aren't cool." Sakura said matter-of-factly. As she fully let go of Syaoran. "Yes they are!" Chiharu and Rika said together, "You guys are starting to sound like Sakura and Li-kun." Naoko said as everyone started to laugh, as Syaoran and Sakura turned red. "Anyways I think it was so cool." Naoko said. "Has it ever hit you that, I don't know . . . someone was doing a prank?" Hitaji said almost spilling the beans. "Well actually I think everyone was there . . . well except you guys." Takashi said suspiciously. Syaoran cursed Hitaji for his sudden outburst, as he replied, "We where talking about the . . ." "Mystery!" Sakura said complete Syaoran's sentence anxiously. "Right." Chiharu said not believing one word they said.
The group was standing in line, which seemed to be moving very slow, to get their snacks. "Kami, it doesn't take so long to pick one snack out of 2 choices." Syaoran said as he rolled his eyes. Everyone nodded their head in agreement.
A Half Hour Later . . .
The group were only 5 people away from getting their snack. "Great half of our snack break is over!" Toriji said annoyed. The group approached their 2 choices.
Fifteen Minutes Later. . .
"Chips or cookies Syaoran?" Sakura asked as she leaned towards him, still trying to decide. "I don't know it's a tough choice." Syaoran said as he put his finger up to his chin. Sakura nodded. "Hello!!" Hitaji yelled, in their ears. "It's not a tough decision, just pick one and if you can't why doesn't one of you get the chips and the other get the cookies and you share!" Hitaji said. "Ya!" Sakura said. "Okay, I'll get the cookies and you get the chips." Syaoran said as he reached for the cookies. "I want to get the cookies!" Sakura said mad. "No, I get them." Syaoran said sternly. "No I do!" Sakura said. "God, what does it mater Sakura we're both going to share them!" Syaoran retorted. "Exactly, that's why you shouldn't have a problem with me getting the cookies." Sakura replied. Everyone sweat dropped. "Fine take them!" Syaoran said in defeat. Sakura smiled sweetly at him as she picked up the cookies, and Syaoran picked up the chips. "Thanks Syaoran-kun!" Sakura, as they looked for a seat to sit. "Great!" Hitaji said. "Because you two were so stupid we lost whatever seats we would have gotten!" "Well they'll eventually go." Sakura said, and Syaoran nodded in agreements as he took one of Sakura's cookies, and she took one of his chips. "Um, actually we have to free spaces after snack so I think they'll be here for a while." Tomoyo said, as she looked at the schedule. "Well let's eat outside then." Alyana offered. "It's nice out anyways." Xylo confirmed.
The group headed outside, and yes it was nice weather. Everyone took a place under a cherry blossom tree . . . well except for Syaoran who preferred to sit on one of the braches, and Sakura wanted to sit next to him since he had the chips.
Dinner
The group sat together as they ate and planed for the night. "Slumber party!" Tomoyo cheered, and the girls squealed with excitement. "What's with you girls and you sleep over party thingys?" Toriji asked. "Why don't you come over and see? All of you!" Tomoyo went on. The girls quieted down.
Hoe! Guys? AT a slumber party? I hope they don't do anything hentai!
Sakura thought as she shook her head.
They wouldn't . . .
"Come on guys it will be fun!" Tomoyo said. She got an evil grin as she laughed, "Ohohohohohoh!" Sakura got kind of freaked out by that. When Tomoyo laughed like that it only meant 2 things. She is going to have her camcorder involved. She has an evil plan. And neither of those were good . . . well not for her anyways. "Fine," Sakura agreed backing up her friend. The rest soon nodded their heads in agreement. "I'm not going!" Syaoran said sternly. "Scared Li?" Hitaji asked. "When you know Daidouji-chan as long as I have, that laugh will make you want to start digging up your own berryal!" Syaoran said. "Oh, come on Syaoran-kun, her planes aren't that evil!" Sakura said. "You wanna bet!" Syaoran challenged. Sakura knew she would lose, because her planes were that evil. "No," Sakura said softly. "Thought so." "But it'll be fun! Syaoran please come." Sakura begged giving him her puppy eyes. "Fine . . ." "Yay!" "It's settled then." Tomoyo said "I'm going to regret this . . ." Syaoran said to himself.
* * * * *
Syaoran and the rest of the boys carried their sleeping items to the girls' dorm. "So um, why should we be scarred of her laugh?" Toriji laughed. "Oh, you don't have to be scared of it; it's Syaoran and Sakura who should." Takashi said. "And why it that?" Hitaji asked. "Because." Syaoran replied. "Because why?" Toriji asked. "Because when she laughs it only means two things." Syaoran said. "And what is that?" Hitaji asked "1. Her camcorder is involved. She has an evil plan." Syaoran said. "And that's scary because . . ." Hitaji asked. "You'll see." Syaoran said as he knocked quietly on the door. Tomoyo opened it, and smiled, "come in." She said as quietly as possible. The boys entered the room. And with no doubt she had her camcorder in her hands. The guys sweat dropped Tomoyo looked at them confused, "What?" "Nothing . . ." Syaoran said quietly. "Okay then, let's start!" Tomoyo said happily. "Everyone sit in a circle." Tomoyo ordered. They did as they were told. Syaoran sat next to Sakura, Hitaji next to Xylo, Toriji in-between Chiharu and Rika, and Takashi next to Chiharu. Tomoyo sat in her place and said, "I'll call this . . . Truth or Dare, Spin the Bottle Version."

The Mystery Behind the Scene
Day 1
Part B
As Syaoran sat on the branch on the sakura tree, he read over the letter again.
It would be nice to visit Florida, the sun, relaxation, extra private training time, etc . . .
Syaoran then tock out the basics of the mystery, thinking it would be best if he knew what was going on to understand what he was searching for.
It read . . .
On October 22nd there was a murder in the school of kintoma junior high school (Seijou junior high). The police think this is the basics of what happened. As the victim, sensei Kotashi Mianji went to his office (the library), he found a piece of paper lying on the desk next to his office. He picked it up and tock it into his office. The police guess that he has been getting these all month and have posted them in his diary, though they say they only just flipped through the pages not actually reading it. Though they say that the last note was not placed in his diary it was misplaced in his office somewhere and have not been able to find it yet. As he walked into his office he started of to his next exam for his students. The next day he couldn't find his exam answer sheet nor the exams he had copied for the students. The next night he walked back into his office they say he still didn't read the note from last night. The police could not find anything in between this and the crime scene. The crime scene did happen in his class room. (Room 17-B) When the murderer came and killed him. The police want you to investigate and try and solve who killed sensei Mianji and what exactly happened. Your conclusion and the conclusions from the other team will be, to see what fits in more perfectly. You have until the end of this week to verify the last statement. After that if we do not find out the culprit and what happened the case will be closed and the suspects will be let free, free of charge.
Syaoran read it twice, and then smirked to himself.
They give you so much information.
He stated sarcastically in his head.
It wouldn't have made a difference if I read it or not. I guess I should read the suspects next then read the diary, give a little estimate then see the time table.
Syaoran sighed reading this mystery some how reminded him of the old card captor days, when he sakura and the stuffed animal, and sometimes a little help from Tomoyo and Meiling, had to find out how to capture the card, and what it will do, and were it will strike next.
I have to admit even with that stuffed animal and all the danger, and not being able to capture the cards and be the card master. Witch I don't really care for anymore, were the best years of my life, and I'll never forget any detail about them, especially not Sakura.
Syaoran took out the suspects' sheet.
First was Jasmine, sensei Mianji's 25 year old next door neighbor. She is 5'4 strait bright red layered hair. She is also one of his students, and was caught sneaking around in his office several times. Her ex-boyfriend Ned just recently broke up with her after the death of sensei Mianji, but says that he was having doubts about their relation ship long before.
Ned is the second suspect, he was sadly disappointed when the sensei died yet not in a sorrow way. Friends also say that him and Jasmine were secretly planning things that had something to do with sensei Mianji long before. Also student of sensei Mianji.
Third suspect is Maxamire, preferred to be called Max the Pain in the Ass, and was Ned's and Jasmine's closest and best friend. He was always causing raucous around the school and has really got it for the staff, especially sensei Mianji. Also student of sensei Mianji.
Fourth suspect is sensei Tiatanji, the science teacher. Ever since he started his job at Kintoma Junior High school he always wanted the job as a math teacher. (Witch is Mianji's job) Tiatanji always envied the math teacher and tried to make their job difficult. (To make them quit) Of course Mianji was a man who not easily gave up. And he and Tiatanji had a strange past in their child hood, witch made Tiatanji hate him even more.
There are also sayings that sensei Mianji killed himself for the sake of it. Though there is no evidence to support that theory, you may investigate this.
There were a few accusations towards Chochang Mihataji, Mianji's loyal, sensitive, nice, helpful secretary. Though there is no reason to believe that she is the culprit, and no evidence, we still put her in our list because there was a high majority who believed that she was the murderer.
The head of the Kintoma Police Department.
Officer J. Magintery
Syaoran put down the suspects' list, he felt as if he was a real detective in this mystery; it was sweeping him away into its world.
Syaoran shock his head violently, he jumped off the tree with perfect accuracy.
I'll read the diary later right now I'm starving.
Syaoran's stomach growled.
* * * * *
In the library Xylo just finished reading the basics.
This really isn't me, I really do hate mysteries, they hold you in suspense, they make you to anxious, but I have to say that this has a pretty good story line they make it seem as if you are really in this world of fantasy well not really, but still it's ok.
One part of her brain was telling her that, but a smaller part with a little more will power said other wise.
But there have been times were magic can sweep you away off your feet.
* * * * *
Sakura was in the cafeteria, though Sakura had finished the basic's and the suspects' list, she was about to start the diary, witch was really long considering it started before he was asked to be math teacher of the school. But her stomach growled when she was about to start reading, and since then she just couldn't take her eyes off the food they were making in the cafeteria.
Oh please hurry up and start serving the food, I can't last longer, soon I'm going to eat this diary, hey wasn't I suppose to read that, o well I'll do it later.
Just then Syaoran ran through the doors. "Is the food ready yet?!" Syaoran yelled he was starving. Sakura giggled as he said this. Syaoran glanced at her and gave her a glare, but couldn't hold it long so just stated in a meter of factly way, "Hey, I'm hungry cant a guy eat around here, without getting tormented by a girl!?!" Sakura giggled.
Suddenly in a matter of two seconds the Cafeteria was filled with hungry teenagers. Tomoyo pushed her self through the crowd and sat next to Syaoran and Sakura. Soon joining them was Chiharu, Naoko, Rika, and Takashi.
"Hey can I sit here?" asked Alyana. Everyone at the table stopped talking and looked at who was talking to them. "Sure!" Sakura said happily.
You can never have to many friends; it will be nice to get to know Kinowa- san.
"Hey Kinowa-san, are you the master criminal?" asked Takashi, who was getting a glare from Chiharu. "Just call me Alyana, and I'm sorry but I can't tell you." "Oh, all right." Said Takashi a little disappointed. "Oh! How rood of us, we haven't introduced our selves." Said Tomoyo. "I'm Daidouji Tomoyo . . ." "I'm Yanagisawa Naoko . . ." Naoko continued. "Yamazaki Takashi . . ." Takashi followed "Mihara Chiharu . . ." "Sasaki Rika . . ." "Kinomoto Sakura . . ." There was a pause; everyone looked at Syaoran who was just looking at the part of the kitchen that showed in the cafeteria.
"Hello Syaoran, you're supposed to say who you are." Takashi said.
"I wonder what they're serving." Syaoran asked more to himself. Everyone fell off their seat anime stile.
"Syaoran!" Sakura yelled. Syaoran turned his glaze to Sakura. "What do you want?" He grumbled. "We were introducing our selves to Kinowa-chan, and you didn't say a word."
"Oh, I'm Li Syaoran." Syaoran said giving a slight bow to Alyana before turning back to Sakura. "There you happy now?" Sakura just turned away from him and said, "You never will change will you?" Syaoran was taken back, but quickly recovered before anyone could notice.
It's not like I actually want to act like this towards you guys especially not you Sakura . . . but it's not a matter of what I want or do not want to do, I have no other choice.
"Hello." Alyana said to all of them. Sakura looked at Alyana and smiled.
Someone from behind Syaoran cleared his voice. Syaoran turned around only to be greeted by Hitaji. Syaoran gave him a cold glare before asking, "What do you want?" "All the other tables are full and I have no other place to eat, trust me I wouldn't come to this table unless it was my last resort." Hitaji said keeping his glare on Syaoran who did the same. "Sure." Said Naoko.
* * * * *
Tomoyo went to see if the food was ready yet, so she could call everyone to eat, but like she expected the lunch ladies were still putting the food up.
She was heading back to her table when she saw Xylo leaning alone against the wall. Tomoyo approached her. "Do you want to come eat with us we have plenty of space at our table?" Xylo looked at Tomoyo in surprise, she didn't expect anyone to come up to her and ask her to eat with them. She smiled and replied, "Sure, why not." Xylo followed Tomoyo back to their table. "Oh by the way I'm Daidouji Tomoyo." "I'm Chan Xylo as you probably already know."
Soon they reached the table. "Hey, Chan-chan is going to sit with us from lunch ok?" Tomoyo sat next to Sakura and scooted over so there was in of space for Xylo to sit next to Alyana.
Suddenly the dark blue sapphire in the middle of the black velvet collar and the clear white sapphire in the middle of the white velvet collar around Alyana's and Xylo's neck glowed with the most intense brightness. Sakura and Syaoran's glaze flew to them in a matter of seconds. Alyana zipped up her collar of her sweater to block the light, as Xylo let her hair down from her pony tail to smudge the brightness from her collar, you would think it was just a little bright because of the sun reflecting on it.
Xylo and Alyana stole a glance at each other before finding great interest in the walls.
"Wow those are some great collars you guys have, and I just love those sapphires, I never really noticed them before." Said Rika. Xylo and Alyana lost their interest in the walls and stared at Rika. "Thanks." They both were able to choke out. "I'm Rika." Rika continued. "Oh! I can't believe I have to say my name all over again." Takashi said, and then glanced at Tomoyo. "Couldn't you have brought her here earlier?" For saying this Takashi's award was to get slapped over on the head. "Takashi! Don't be so selfish, all you are saying is 'I'm Yamazaki Takashi' is that so hard!" Chiharu yelled.
As they were still arguing Rika thought it would be a better idea if she just said everyone's name. "That boy over there you see getting slobbered is Yamazaki Takashi . . ." She said pointing at Takashi. "And the girl slobbering him is Mihara Chiharu . . ." She said moving her finger slightly so she was now pointing at Chiharu. "Hey, you know it's rude to point at people?" Naoko stated. "How else am I supposed to show them who I'm talking about? Describe them? That would take forever . . . Oh ya that's Yanagisawa Naoko . . ." "And that's Daidouji Tomoyo with the raven purple hair she probably already told you her name . . ." Rika said taking Naoko's advice and stopped pointing. "And the girl with the silky blonde hair is Kinowa Alyana, as you probably know . . ." "And the boy with dirty blond hair is . . ." "Tamotiake Hitaji." He said
How am I supposed to describe Sakura, and Syaoran? Ohohohohohoh I know . . .
"And you see those two that look like such a kawaii couple? Ya well the auburn hair girl is Kinomoto Sakura and the chestnut hair boy is Li Syaoran." Rika said proud of herself.
Syaoran and Sakura blushed crimson.
While Tomoyo gave Rika a high five for the great idea.
"You know you could have just said 'The girl with auburn hair is Kinomoto Sakura, and the boy with chestnut hair is Syaoran' they would have realized who we were that way with out unnecessary description." Sakura said simply
"Of course that was necessary." Naoko said, while giving Rika a high five after Tomoyo gave her one. "Oh, ya how come?" Syaoran asked simply. ". . ." Naoko scampered for the right words.
Tomoyo realized the tension and acted on instinct. "Well it's nice to meat you Chan-san." "Just Xylo, and it was nice to meat you to Daidouji-san, Kinowa-san, Yamazaki-san, Mihara-san, Yanagisawa-san, Li-san, Tamotiake-san, and Kinomoto-san." Xylo said giving a slight smile, which was given half heartedly. "No need for formality, just call us on first name basis." Tomoyo said cheerfully. Xylo gave them a half hearted smile.
"I'm starving, I'm ganna get something to eat . . . Syaoran you coming?" Takashi said as he was getting out of his seat, while Syaoran quickly rushed to him to see the food.
"I just hope that Takashi doesn't tell Syaoran any of his lies . . . again." Chiharu stated. "You think he's a problem?" Sakura said almost outraged. Everyone looked at her. "Syaoran is acting like a real jerk!!" Sakura practically yelled, but only loud in of for the group to hear and maybe a few people from the other group. "Wow! Sakura calm down, Li's not that bad." Naoko said. "Ya, he just came back from Hong Kong he has to get used to Tomoeda again." Said Rika. "And you know how nice Li can be once you get to know him." Tomoyo said, and she Chiharu, Rika, and Naoko gave her a wink. Alyana, Hitaji and Xylo were a little confused but kind of got the idea. "And anyways no one is as bad as my Takashi . . ." Everyone had there eyes on Chiharu. "Your Takashi . . .?" Sakura asked totally clueless, as usual. Everyone looked at Sakura and sweat dropped, even Alyana and Xylo new what was going on between them. "Um . . . Sakura haven't you thought it was weird the they've been spending so much time together?" Naoko asked. Sakura just looked at them still confused. "Um . . . No, is there something I'm supposed to know?" "Sakura not every couple started out like you and Li did." Said Rika. Alyana and Xylo looked at Sakura wide eyed, they finally found the true understanding to the wink indicated to Sakura before. Sakura was blushing now. But sighed and had a saddened look on her face. "But I'm not sure if he even feels that way anymore . . . He's been acting strange these few days." Tomoyo looked at her friend sympathetically.
* * * * *
Syaoran and Takashi got the food it wasn't the every day selections, they all got the same thing, and I guess it was because of the fact that they aren't going to pay for the food this week.
They got mashed potatoes, on the side of calamari, shrimp, rice, a can of coke or raspberry kiwi Fruitopia, and for dissert a slice of triple chocolate cake.
Syaoran licked his lips thinking about it.
Takashi was walking very unevenly, he was carrying four trays. Two on each arm. Wile Syaoran was carrying six and yet didn't have any difficulty carrying them, well except for the fact that he had one balancing one on his head witch he received acward stares.
"I think we should have asked someone to come help us." Takashi stated as once again he almost got knocked over by a guy running passed him. Syaoran turned to look at Takashi. "I don't know what you are complaining about you have to only carry four and you don't have one balancing on your head . . . but looking at that offal posture you have, and the way you are caring them, and your need for balance, we should have either brought someone else along or I would be better off caring those by myself." Syaoran said. "Hey!" Takashi said, acting hurt.
They finally reached the table, and carefully settled the trays in front of their doom. As they did Sakura looked at Syaoran with worry, hope, and curiosity. Syaoran sat next to her and ate. The table was quiet.
I wonder if he still cares for me . . . maybe he already has a girlfriend . . . maybe he just has to get used to Tomoeda again . . . WHAT IS WITH THE SILENCE!
Sakura was frantic she hated the silence and wanted it to end as soon as possible. "Um . . . well what do you think about the mystery challenge so far guys?" Syaoran said feeling the exact same way as Sakura. Sakura gave him a thankful look, as Syaoran couldn't help but leave a glimpse of caring in his piercing amber eyes. "Ohohohohohoh!!!" Tomoyo exclaimed. Everyone looked at her. "I mean, it needs romance." Tomoyo said, as everyone sweat dropped. "Well I think it's an ok story, but it needs to have more . . . more . . ." Takashi said trying to find the right word to describe, what he was thinking. "Lies!" Chiharu yelled. "No . . ." Takashi said still thinking, but Chiharu knew that whatever he said would sound like lies to her. "More, fiction more of a story line, more detail." Takashi said. "Lies!" Chiharu yelled. Everyone was holding giggles, and sweat dropping from Chiharu's predictable comment. "No, really that's what I thin—" "Lies! Those words are all synonyms for lies!" Chiharu yelled once again. Sakura couldn't help herself any longer, she broke into laughter. "You know Mihara, you should give Yamasaki a break, he has had a habit of telling stories—" "Lies!" Chiharu yelled cutting Syaoran off. "Whatever, for a long time, do you think he will stop now?" "Thank you Syaoran, and stop calling me Yamasaki, just Takashi!" "Fine" Syaoran mumbled. "Well I have to at least try and fix him of his stupidity." Chiharu said going back to her food as everyone else did.
It's quiet again hum I wonder . . ., I've got what to say!
"Don't you think its so kawaii that Jasmine and Ned is a criminal couple?!" Tomoyo yelled for joy. Everyone sweat dropped. "You think criminals can be kawaii when they are evil?" Hitaji stated shocked. "Ya! They're so busy in their criminal life yet they still have time for love." Tomoyo sighed. "I think she's crazy." Hitaji whispered to himself. "Ya crazy for anything that in anyways can be considered kawaii." Sakura whispered to Hitaji and Syaoran. "Hey! I heard that . . . and I must admit your right!" Tomoyo yelled in delight. "Right . . ." Syaoran just went back to eating his food. "Oh did you see the grand prize!" Naoko said with stars in her eyes. "I so want to go to Florida!" Rika yelled. "Ya I guess it will be fun." Xylo said. "Hey you get a free ticket to go there anyhow don't you Kino— I mean Alyana- chan?" Chiharu asked. "Ya, because I'm helping with it and acting out one of the characters." Alyana stated. "We all get like 2 tickets I think, so if we do, we'll invite you guys to come with us." Rika said, and everyone in that group nodded. "But we have to ask Kitoka-san first." Rika said. "No need." Said a voice from behind them, there was Toriji. "I decided to come eat with you guys since, all my friends are eating with their mates." Rika scooted over for Toriji to sit. "And just call me Toriji." He said smiling at everyone at the table. "What time is it?" Sakura asked. "Um . . . 11:45, why?" Rika asked. "Because I don't want to be late for our next session." Sakura stated. "Look who's talking." Syaoran smirked. "Hump!" Sakura stuck her chin up and crossed her arms. "I'm surprised you made it on time today." Syaoran stated. "Well sorry if I'm not Mr. Perfect like someone I know . . ." Sakura changed her glance back to Syaoran. "Baka, being perfect, witch I'm not by the way, is better then being messy, late, childish, ignorant, always optimistic, witch for once your not, annoying, stubborn, and obnoxious." Syaoran said. "Um, Syaoran you know your also ignorant, annoying and obnoxious?" Tomoyo said. Sakura laughed, as Syaoran turned red. "Well then at least I'm not childish, messy or optimistic . . ." "No, you the total opposite Syaoran, you're pessimistic." Sakura stated.
Everyone knew that when Syaoran and Sakura fight, it lasts long, and they also know that they can't stand being mad at each other, so better break them up before the fight goes too deep.
"I wonder what Florida is like?" Toriji asked, one of the only people who didn't know how bad of a fight this would turn into but sort of got the idea. "Ya, I hope one of us win!" Chiharu yelled with delight.
Syaoran and Sakura stopped fighting and thought them selves what it would be like in Florida. "Relaxing . . ." They both said at the same time. "Just another quality of that couple, though they fight, and make bets most of the time, it's like they share the same mind, always thinking of what the other is thinking . . . It's so kawaii!!" Tomoyo said dreamingly. "Don't you ever care of what is happening in your life?" Alyana asked. "Ya, don't you have like 1000 tapes by now of Sakura?" Rika asked. "Well actually I probably had but I cut some seines out, and put a few tapes together, and I found some witch weren't all that exciting but all together, it turned out to be about 250 tapes." Tomoyo said proudly. "Maybe you should try out for some kind of movie compotation or something." Hitaji said sarcastically. "I did, The Best Tween to Teen Made Movie." Tomoyo said proudly. "What did you call it 'Sakura the Fabulous'" Hitaji joked again. "Um . . . no I named it Card Captor Sakura, and Friends." Tomoyo said in a mater of factly voice. Sakura and Syaoran both spit out the coke they've been drinking. "You did what!!!" they both yelled. "Don't worry Li-kun, they'll just think that it was a well done special effects movie." "You are not supposed to use this stuff for your own gain!" Syaoran yelled. "Oh come on, it's not like anyone will care, your with me right Sakura?" "I don't know . . ."
Everyone looked at them not knowing anything about the words that were coming out of their mouths.
"I think Syaoran's right, he usually is." Sakura said. "You mean always is." Syaoran said stubbornly. "No usually!" "Whatever" Syaoran said rolling his eyes, then looked back towards Tomoyo, "The point is you shouldn't have done that." "Ya" Sakura said. "Well come on maybe we'll get something out of it?" Tomoyo said trying to reason with the couple. "Like what?" Syaoran asked sarcastically. "Oh, really, you think so!" Sakura said, excited about what she might get. "Even if we do get something, will it make up for the price of them finding out our . . . ." Syaoran lowered his voice so only Sakura and Tomoyo could hear, but unfortunately the rest of the group pushed their heads toward the three to hear, but Syaoran still said it. "Secret" "What secret!" Hitaji yelled. "Nothing!" Tomoyo, Sakura, and Syaoran yelled quickly at the same time. "If it's nothing why did you whisper," Toriji said. "Because . . ." Syaoran said. "Because why?" Hitaji asked. "Because . . ." Sakura said. "Because, Because why?" Naoko asked. "Because, Because, Because . . ." But this time it didn't come for Sakura, Syaoran nor Tomoyo, it was from . . . . "Takashi?" Chiharu asked. "Ya" "Why did you say 'Because, Because, Because?'" Takashi shrugged. "Right . . ." Rika said.
"What is our next session anyways?" Xylo asked.
Syaoran being the most organized took out the schedule from his pocket.

"We Have an Assembly next." Stated Syaoran.
"How come when she asks its ok, but when I ask it isn't!?" Sakura yelled furiously. "That's because you never asked!" Syaoran retorted. "Yes I did I said 'what time is it?' Then Rita told me, and asked why and I said 'because I don't want to be late for our next session.'!" "See it's totally different, she asked what our next session is, you asked what time is it because you don't want to be late!" Syaoran argued. "Same difference!" Sakura yelled. "No it isn't!" Syaoran yelled back. "Yes it is!" "No it isn't!" "Yes it is!" "No it isn't!" "Yes it is!" "No it isn't!" "Yes it is!" "No it isn't!" "Yes it is!" "No it isn't!" "Yes it is!" "No it isn't!" "Shut up!!" Tomoyo and Chiharu yelled. "Your arguments are more annoying then Takashi!" "No it isn't!" Both Sakura and Syaoran yelled at the same time. "Yes it is . . ." Said Chiharu harshly. "I can't believe you guys can fight so much, and yet still have in of energy for more." Naoko Said. "Fighting doesn't need a lot of energy." Said Syaoran. "Well at least not this kind . . ." "Did you know that people used to get energy, by inhabiting other people bodies, and then add the energy the person used to struggle, and put it back in their own—" "Oww!!" "Never mind, I was wrong Takashi's stories are more annoying then your arguments." "RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!" "Bye, see you at, well at the next time we see you. Bye!!" Rita smiled as she and her group got up and left to the auditorium. "I guess we should go too." Said Tomoyo emptying the left over of her lunch in the garbage. "What a waste of food, Kero would have gladly eaten it." Sakura said. "That stuffed animal would eat anything as long as it can go down." Syaoran said. "Who's Kero?" Hitaji asked following the others.
"Well I hope you know by now the suspects, if you don't we will gladly show you them, now though you must read the suspect list." Said Miaki sensei.
"Hello, I'm jasmine." Said Jessica, one of the grade eights. "I'm innocent, really I never loathed sensei or anything, sure I hated his hard tests, but if you had one of those things you would hate them too, but I never did it, he was nice in a way, you know?"
"Oh, really? Then how come you always tried to make his life a living hell? You never even wept, you never even came to his funeral!" yelled Ned. "As I recall, neither were you! And don't forget you're a suspect too, witch makes you just as guilty, if not more!" "Can't youse people just shut up!?" Maxamire yelled. "Shut up Max! If anything it was you, but knowing you, you would blame it on us, but they still consider you a suspect ha!" Jasmine accused Max. "I didn't do it this time mate." "Wait youse two are ganging up on me aren't ya?" Max yelled outraged. "After all I got youse two through, you betray me like that!?!" "All three of you have detention!" yelled Tiatanji sensei. "Hey you, are the true mastermind, we all know you always loathed the people who became the Math sensei." Said Ned. "You are framing a teacher, you can get expelled for that you know?!" Sensei yelled outraged. "Everyone calm down, who ever is the real murderer will captured in due time." Chochang Mihataji said calmly. Alyana came into view. "I don't know how you in any way can be the murderer, Mss. Mihataji." Said sensei. "Ya mate, don't you think he new the murderer already he would 'ave called the authorities or somethin'?" Max said in his Australian accent.
The curtains started to close, as Miaki sensei came into view. "I hope now you have a better understanding of the suspects Chose your criminal wisely!"
All the groups started to reform, and plan what do to in their free space.
"I'm going to rest." Said Sakura. "Ya, I'm exhausted." Said Syaoran.
The group separated to have their rest for an hour and twenty minutes.
* * * * * * * *
As Sakura lay on her bed hugging her Syaoran-Bear, she was thinking about events of the past few weeks. How Syaoran's behavior, changed rapidly.
If he doesn't change . . . then . . . then . . . then I have no clue what the hell am I supposed to do!! What was that creature that appeared to us, who is it's master, or masters or arugh!! I don't know what to do!! I wish I brought Kero with me.
Tomoyo soon waked into the door. "Hey Sakura, feeling alright? You look ill." "I'm just thinking . . ." was Sakura's reply "What if Syaoran hates me again, like when we first meat? What if I have to gain his trust all over again?" Sakura wondered out loud.
"That wont happen." Tomoyo reassured her. "How do you know?" Sakura asked. "Because you guys tell me everything." Tomoyo replied. "What does that have to do with how you know?" Sakura asked. "It has nothing to do with it, just trying to change the subject." Tomoyo said as Sakura sweat dropped. "You know every time you fainted Li was always there to catch you, when you were in trouble Li was always there to help you, whenever you were losing a battle Li was always there to help you win, and no matter what he will always be there, and that's how I know . . . and why else do you think he came back to Japan?" Tomoyo said Sakura smiled, "I just wish he wouldn't be so hard to figure out." "That's what makes it fun to tape you two!" Tomoyo said with stars in her eyes. "Hoe??!" was all Sakura could say.
* * * * * *
Sakura wasn't the only one thinking about the past events . . . Xylo was sitting out side with her back up against a cherry blossom tree.
Who is this Alyana person? Why has she come here, why does she have a similar collar to mine? And why does our collars glow with this light when she's near me?
So many question were passing through her head. And she wanted them all answered before she got in her way.
'Where are you when I need you . . . you . . . you stupid old lady!!'
Xylo shouted in her mind.
'I'm right here, as long as you wear the collar I'm always with you. AND I'M NOT STUPID OR AN OLD LADY!! DO I SOUND LIKE AN OLD LADY TO YOU!!!??!!'
The lady shouted back inside Xylo's mind.
'Answer my questions!!!'
She yelled in distress.
'Stupid little girl, can't you figure things by yourself, and leave me to rest?!'
The spirit retorted.
'NOOO!!'
Xylo said back.
'Fine, fine Alyana will be a mystery to you because I have no clue who she is!! So how the hell should I know why she is here or why she has a similar collar! And here's a hint maybe she came because this is a public school for everyone to go to!! And how am I supposed to know why your collars glow, I'm no scientist!!!'
The sprit yelled her so called answers to Xylo.
'You are no help at all! Why the hell did I let this happen!?!'
'That I can answer . . . for more power!!'
'No, you think?!'
'Yes I do.'
'I was being sarcastic you idiot!!!'
'I'm not an idiot you idiot!!!'
'Shut up!'
'No you!'
'You!'
'You!'
'You!'
'You!'
'You!'
'You!'
'You!'
'You!'
'You!'
'You!'
'Your so childish! How old are you?!'
Xylo yelled.
'I'm just an old lady like you said!!'
'If you're going to share my mind I better at least get to know you!!"
Xylo said frustrated.
'I'm 18 years old.'
The spirit said.
'What!! How are you a spirit then aren't you supposed to be dead?'
Xylo retorted
'Well sorry. But you don't have to be an 'old lady' to be dead!'
'sorry'
'Better be!'
'how'd you die?'
Xylo asked
'none of your business!'
'who's the one sharing my mind here!'
Xylo said.
'you volunteered!'
'shut up!'
'No!'
'you can at least tell me your name see as you already know mine.'
'I don't feel like chatting anymore, thank you.'
* * * * * *
Syaoran was also outside, sitting on a branch on a sakura tree. And why don't you just guess what he was doing . . . yes thinking about the past events.
Ok, lets see . . . what unusual things happened. This crazy creature threatens me and Sakura. I got a stupid letter all of a sudden from my cousin, who is now a high elder Telling me to do crazy things against all my will. Auras appearing out of no were. Xylo with her strange new collar, as well as Alyana. And that mysterious glow coming out of their collars. Now how many of these questions are answered? Lets see . . . 1 . . . 2 . . .3 . . . none!!!
Syaoran swiftly jumped off the tree and landed on his both feet perfectly. He started for his room to just rest, and stop thinking!
* * * * *
The group meat up 10min before the rules were to be told in the auditorium.
"I'm too lazy to listen to the rules." Said Sakura. "Aren't you always?" Syaoran remarked. "Shut up, and no I'm not." Sakura said back, in their own little way, Syaoran was starting a challenge, and Sakura excepted it. "Really? Prove it!" Syaoran asked. ". . ." "Thought so." "Just shut up!"
"Guys, how'd you say we skip it?" Hitaji asked, with a glint of evil in his eyes. "Fine, I don't really care, he already told us the rules anyways." Syaoran said. "I'm in." Xylo said.
Finally some excitement.
Tomoyo swept out her camera, "OHOHOHOHOHOH!!!!! This is going to be fun, I'll call it "skippin' the borin'", Sakura you in?" Asked Tomoyo. "What if we get caught though, what is something bad happens to us and they don't know where we are?" Sakura said concerned. "Nothing bad will happen, baka." Syaoran retorted. Sakura went stiff. "I'm in."
"So where are we going?" Tomoyo asked while walking up the stairs with the rest of the group. "To the roof." Said Hitaji. There was only five minutes left till the rules, and everyone was heading towards downstairs.
Soon they reached the door, only 2 minutes to spare. "We're here!" Hitaji announced. He went to open the door but it wouldn't budge. "It's not opening!" Hitaji said in alarm. "Move!" Syaoran said pushing Hitaji out of the way. "It's locked." He stated calmly. "We can't go out of school grounds, that's too dangerous." Sakura stated. "Follow me!" Syaoran said as he started running down the stairs. "Wait!" Sakura yelled after him and followed with the rest of the group.
"Are you mad!" Hitaji said through breaths. "We only have one minute till we have to be at the auditorium!" Xylo said. "We'll get caught!" Hitaji finished. "You're so boring, this is what makes skipping fun!" Syaoran said as he ran out the door. "What are we doing here!" Hitaji yelled. "We're skipping the rules remember?" "I know that!" "Then why'd you ask?" Syaoran asked. "I mean what are we doing outside?" "I just answered that." Syaoran said annoyed. "Whatever."
Syaoran went up to a tree; he grabbed hold of one of the branches, and flipped himself high up into the tree. "How did he do that?" Hitaji asked Sakura. She just smiled and followed his lead. Soon everyone was up the tree, even Tomoyo who had to be very careful, and Sakura who had to grab hold of Syaoran for balance several times. Yes even Hitaji, who was more of dragged up there. "Now what?" Hitaji asked annoyed. "Well, you wanted to go on the roof." Syaoran said, with one of his famous rare smiles, but this one seemed mischief. "So we're going on the roof." Syaoran said as he took one big jump, and landed on the roof of the school swiftly.
"Are you mad!" Hitaji yelled to him. "No!" Syaoran said back calmly. Sakura was next she took one big jump and landed next to Syaoran. "I knew you would join me." Syaoran said "Of course, I wasn't about to let you have all the fun." Sakura smiled at him Tomoyo was next, a little wobbly, but never the less she made it. Xylo went after, she was almost as perfect as Syaoran. "You're all mad!!" Hitaji yelled to them. "Fine don't join us." Syaoran said as he turned around. "Wait I'm coming!" He yelled, as he jumped, he landed right on the edge, Xylo had to grab him to keep him from falling over.
"So, um what do we do from here?" Hitaji asked. It was quiet. "How about we play a game?" Tomoyo asked. "But of course, I cant be in it, I have to tape it." Everyone sweat dropped. "What kind of game?" asked Xylo. "how about a stunt game, were all of us have to do the same stunt." Everyone was surprised, not by the thought, but by who the thought was said by. "Sakura?" Tomoyo asked. "Are you ok?" "I'm fine." Sakura said. "Oh Tomoyo that also means you." "Fine." "Great!" "Lets start." Xylo stated. "Who wants to pick out the first stunt?" Tomoyo asked. They were quiet again. "Come on people, there has to be something." Sakura said in distress. "I have one why don't we go into the ventilation and go to the part in the auditorium, then we all make ghost sounds, like to add on to this stupid story as if there's a ghost of . . . what was his name again?" "Sensei Kotashi Mianji?" Tomoyo asked. "Ya, him." Hitaji said. Everyone looked at each other trying to figure out there answer. "It's lame, but fine." Syaoran said. Soon the rest agreed. "Um, but how do you suppose we get into the ventilation?" Sakura asked. "I have an idea." Syaoran said.
Syaoran quietly opened the door to the roof, they all pilled out, as they looked, up and there in front of their eyes, was an entrance to the ventilation. But the problem was that it was way to high for anyone to reach.
"Ouch! That's my hand!" Hitaji yelled. "This is so uncomfortable!" Xylo exclaimed. "Almost there!" Sakura said. "Just a little more!"
The group had decided to make a human tower; on the bottom was Syaoran, who had to carry all the weight. Second was Hitaji, who complained every five seconds. After him was Xylo, who strongly protested against the idea, on top of her was Tomoyo, who was having trouble taping Sakura and the rest, mostly Sakura, and keeping her on top. Sakura was the one who was the one opening the ventilation shaft.
"There!" She yelled Tomoyo tripped as she was barely able to hold Sakura anymore, which caused the whole tower to topple over, except for Sakura who in this process was able to grab the edge of the shaft and lifted herself inside. "Come on!" Sakura said down at them as she stretched her arms out so that they can grab a hold of her. "We can't reach Sakura." Tomoyo stated without any attempt to even try. "Well then make another human tower and get up here." "Oh, no please don't!" "If you don't your not doing the stunt which means you have to give us each $5." Sakura stated calmly. "Hey! That wasn't part of the deal!" Hitaji yelled. "Well now it is!" Sakura yelled back.
Just then, the group heard footsteps heading towards them. "Hurry!" Sakura whispered harshly. Tomoyo got on Xylo who got on Hitaji who got on Syaoran, Sakura grabbed her friends hand and reeled her in. Holding Tomoyo's legs Sakura made sure that Xylo got in safely. The footsteps were getting louder and louder. "Come on!" Sakura urged Hitaji, as she held Tomoyo's legs, who held Xylo's legs who grabbed Hitaji. "I'm not going to dangle from here to get him up!" Hitaji said once he was safely inside. "Go!" Syaoran yelled as the man turned the corned and came face to face with . . . . the door to the roof. The guy scratched his head, "I could have sworn I heard someone." He turned around and walked off. "That was close." Tomoyo said. "How do you jump like that?" Hitaji asked Syaoran as they started to crawl. "Gens." Syaoran stated calmly. "But your not wearing jeans." Hitaji said. Tomoyo laughed. "What?" "Nothing." Tomoyo said. "We're here!" Syaoran whispered, as he removed the shaft. "Ok who goes first." Asked Tomoyo "Lets make this fun." Xylo said. "After every sentence per person, another one has to continue, and so on, it will go me, Sakura, Tomoyo, Syaoran, and then Hitaji. You all have to divide up. Me and Hitaji will take that one." She said pointing to another shaft, "Syaoran and Sakura will take this one, and Tomoyo, you'll be solo over there." She said pointing to another shaft. They all nodded their heads in agreement.
* * * * * *
"OOOOOWWOOOOO! I'm the ghost of Sensei Kotashi Mianji OOOOOHHHHH!" Xylo started first muffling her voice and making it faint. "Your good." Hitaji said. "Thanx."
* * * * * *
"There's no such thing, Sensei Kotashi Mianji isn't even a real person!" Some kid from the auditorium said.
"OOOOOOHHHHH! Who am I then? OOOOOOOO!" Sakura said.
* * * * * *
Everyone in the auditorium gulped. "I have come for my REVENGE!" Tomoyo yelled, emphasizing on the revenge.
* * * * * *
"And when I find you . . ." Syaoran said mycheifly.
* * * * * *
"You will die a most horrible DEATH!" Hitaji said darkly.
* * * * * *
"A death that will make the havens shake with fear!"
* * * * * *
"And the blood will be my comfort!"
* * * * * *
"My food, my hunger."
* * * * * *
"And you will wish you never heard the name . . . ."
* * * * * *
"Sensei Kotashi Mianji!!!" Hitaji finished.
* * * * * *
The kids screamed as they ran out of the auditorium in fear. As the group in the ventilation laughed their heads off and gave each other high fives.
In the auditorium the principle yelled to the teachers. "They're in the shaft get them!"
The group heard this, and panicked.
"What are we going to do; they're going to catch us!" Hitaji yelled. "Quiet!" Syaoran said. "This way." They were moving slowly trying not to make a sound so that the teachers couldn't hear them. First stop, classroom 12-B, they dropped the girls off as they went to their own room.
* * * * * *
"That was so much fun!" Hitaji said as then got to their room. "Ya I guess, lets just hope they wont figure out it was us who did it" Syaoran said in reply. "Do what?" Toriji asked. "Nothing!" They both said in defense. "Why weren't you at the rules session?" Takashi asked. "What session?" Hitaji replied sweat dripping from his forehead. "Whatever." Toriji said annoyed. "Snacks are next!" Takashi yelled with glee. "Ya we know." Hitaji said, as he went to lie down on the floor.
* * * * *
Sakura was smiling as she lay down staring at the ceiling in wonder.
"So you and Syaoran huh?" Xylo asked as she stole the smile right off Sakura's face. "What do you mean?" Sakura asked as she sat up. "You know . . ." "No I don't." Sakura answered. "Are you two going out?" Xylo asked. "Well, um no I guess." Sakura answered frowning.
What's she up to . . .
Sakura liked having Xylo around but something just wasn't right about her.
"So you too are just friends?" Xylo asked. "I hope so . . ." was all Sakura could say and it came in a low whisper.
Xylo got up from next to Sakura and left her without another word.
* * * * * *
At the lunch room everyone was talking about the events that happened at the rules session.
"You guys missed it!" Rika said with a smile. "Ya there was like a ghost of . . . what was his na—" "HOE!!!! GHOST!!" Sakura said in fright as she grabbed hold of Syaoran. Even though she knew it was them, I guess she just got used to screaming at the thought of one. "I can't believe you're still afraid of ghosts." Syaoran said as he shook his head. "Sensei Kotashi Mianji?" Tomoyo offered. "Ya, him." Chiharu said. Sakura slightly let go of Syaoran as they started conversing again. "It was so cool!" Naoko cheered. "Ghosts aren't cool." Sakura said matter-of-factly. As she fully let go of Syaoran. "Yes they are!" Chiharu and Rika said together, "You guys are starting to sound like Sakura and Li-kun." Naoko said as everyone started to laugh, as Syaoran and Sakura turned red. "Anyways I think it was so cool." Naoko said. "Has it ever hit you that, I don't know . . . someone was doing a prank?" Hitaji said almost spilling the beans. "Well actually I think everyone was there . . . well except you guys." Takashi said suspiciously. Syaoran cursed Hitaji for his sudden outburst, as he replied, "We where talking about the . . ." "Mystery!" Sakura said complete Syaoran's sentence anxiously. "Right." Chiharu said not believing one word they said.
The group was standing in line, which seemed to be moving very slow, to get their snacks. "Kami, it doesn't take so long to pick one snack out of 2 choices." Syaoran said as he rolled his eyes. Everyone nodded their head in agreement.
A Half Hour Later . . .
The group were only 5 people away from getting their snack. "Great half of our snack break is over!" Toriji said annoyed. The group approached their 2 choices.
Fifteen Minutes Later. . .
"Chips or cookies Syaoran?" Sakura asked as she leaned towards him, still trying to decide. "I don't know it's a tough choice." Syaoran said as he put his finger up to his chin. Sakura nodded. "Hello!!" Hitaji yelled, in their ears. "It's not a tough decision, just pick one and if you can't why doesn't one of you get the chips and the other get the cookies and you share!" Hitaji said. "Ya!" Sakura said. "Okay, I'll get the cookies and you get the chips." Syaoran said as he reached for the cookies. "I want to get the cookies!" Sakura said mad. "No, I get them." Syaoran said sternly. "No I do!" Sakura said. "God, what does it mater Sakura we're both going to share them!" Syaoran retorted. "Exactly, that's why you shouldn't have a problem with me getting the cookies." Sakura replied. Everyone sweat dropped. "Fine take them!" Syaoran said in defeat. Sakura smiled sweetly at him as she picked up the cookies, and Syaoran picked up the chips. "Thanks Syaoran-kun!" Sakura, as they looked for a seat to sit. "Great!" Hitaji said. "Because you two were so stupid we lost whatever seats we would have gotten!" "Well they'll eventually go." Sakura said, and Syaoran nodded in agreements as he took one of Sakura's cookies, and she took one of his chips. "Um, actually we have to free spaces after snack so I think they'll be here for a while." Tomoyo said, as she looked at the schedule. "Well let's eat outside then." Alyana offered. "It's nice out anyways." Xylo confirmed.
The group headed outside, and yes it was nice weather. Everyone took a place under a cherry blossom tree . . . well except for Syaoran who preferred to sit on one of the braches, and Sakura wanted to sit next to him since he had the chips.
Dinner
The group sat together as they ate and planed for the night. "Slumber party!" Tomoyo cheered, and the girls squealed with excitement. "What's with you girls and you sleep over party thingys?" Toriji asked. "Why don't you come over and see? All of you!" Tomoyo went on. The girls quieted down.
Hoe! Guys? AT a slumber party? I hope they don't do anything hentai!
Sakura thought as she shook her head.
They wouldn't . . .
"Come on guys it will be fun!" Tomoyo said. She got an evil grin as she laughed, "Ohohohohohoh!" Sakura got kind of freaked out by that. When Tomoyo laughed like that it only meant 2 things. She is going to have her camcorder involved. She has an evil plan. And neither of those were good . . . well not for her anyways. "Fine," Sakura agreed backing up her friend. The rest soon nodded their heads in agreement. "I'm not going!" Syaoran said sternly. "Scared Li?" Hitaji asked. "When you know Daidouji-chan as long as I have, that laugh will make you want to start digging up your own berryal!" Syaoran said. "Oh, come on Syaoran-kun, her planes aren't that evil!" Sakura said. "You wanna bet!" Syaoran challenged. Sakura knew she would lose, because her planes were that evil. "No," Sakura said softly. "Thought so." "But it'll be fun! Syaoran please come." Sakura begged giving him her puppy eyes. "Fine . . ." "Yay!" "It's settled then." Tomoyo said "I'm going to regret this . . ." Syaoran said to himself.
* * * * *
Syaoran and the rest of the boys carried their sleeping items to the girls' dorm. "So um, why should we be scarred of her laugh?" Toriji laughed. "Oh, you don't have to be scared of it; it's Syaoran and Sakura who should." Takashi said. "And why it that?" Hitaji asked. "Because." Syaoran replied. "Because why?" Toriji asked. "Because when she laughs it only means two things." Syaoran said. "And what is that?" Hitaji asked "1. Her camcorder is involved. She has an evil plan." Syaoran said. "And that's scary because . . ." Hitaji asked. "You'll see." Syaoran said as he knocked quietly on the door. Tomoyo opened it, and smiled, "come in." She said as quietly as possible. The boys entered the room. And with no doubt she had her camcorder in her hands. The guys sweat dropped Tomoyo looked at them confused, "What?" "Nothing . . ." Syaoran said quietly. "Okay then, let's start!" Tomoyo said happily. "Everyone sit in a circle." Tomoyo ordered. They did as they were told. Syaoran sat next to Sakura, Hitaji next to Xylo, Toriji in-between Chiharu and Rika, and Takashi next to Chiharu. Tomoyo sat in her place and said, "I'll call this . . . Truth or Dare, Spin the Bottle Version."
