Chapter 4 Truth or Dare?

The guys looked at Tomoyo as if she was crazy. Boys? Participate in truth or dare? Not likely. Especially spin the bottle version.

"Are you mad?!" Hitaji yelled.

"Shhhhhhh!" Chiharu said.

"Be quiet or you'll get caught." Rika said. The boys shut their mouths.

"I'm not participating!" Hitaji yelled in a hushed voice.

"I knew that I was going to regret this." Syaoran said to himself.

"It can't be that bad?" Toriji said. Everyone gave him a you-wanna-bet look.

"Right?" He said sheepishly.

"Okay let's get going!" Tomoyo said excitedly.

She placed the bottle in front of her as she spun it. Round and round it goes, where will it stop? Nobody knows! It slowed down and stopped in front of . . .
"Sakura!" Tomoyo said.

"Truth or dare!" All the girls yelled with excitement.

"Um . . ." They gave her the look.
You know the one that said truth, and we'll make you spill a great secret, or I just dare you to pick dare, and watch what will happen.

"Um, how about . . . truth." Sakura said not sure. Tomoyo laughed, "Ohohohohoh!!!" Hitaji leaned over to Syaoran and said, "Now I know what you mean . . ."

"If you were stuck up in a barn fire, out of all of the boys here who would you want to be you prince in shinning amour and save you?" Tomoyo asked.

"Hoe!"

"Well . . ." Chiharu asked. Practically everyone already knew the answer. "Um, I guess Syaoran-kun." Everyone started to give her looks. Sakura turned crimson, "I-I mean b-because he seems t-to be the one m-most likely t-to get me out o-of there s-safe." Sakura stammered.

"Right . . ." Naoko said with a knowing look. "Really!" Sakura said.
Sakura turned to her side to see how Syaoran reacted to this, and his amber eyes pierced through hers making her blush even more . . . if it was possible.

"Heh, heh, my turn I guess." Sakura spun the bottle, and it landed on . . .
"Takashi." Sakura said,

"Truth or dare?"

"Truth." He said simply.

"What is going on between you and Chiharu?" Everyone sweat dropped she was the only one who didn't get it, even Syaoran knew!

"Talk about dense." Syaoran said, "Hey!" Sakura retorted. Takashi blushed, of course they've been going out for a while but they didn't tell no one and the thought of it just made him blush.

"Um, um w-we . . . did you know that truth and dare—" Chiharu hit him on the head. "Takashi stop avoiding the question and answers it!"

"And no lies!" She yelled.

"We're going out." Takashi said softly. "Really!" Sakura asked amazed.

"Congratulations Chiharu!" Sakura beamed. Takashi silently spun the bottle.
It landed on Chiharu.

"Truth or dare?" He asked. "Dare!" Chiharu said. Takashi smiled, "I dare you to let me tell lies for a whole week!" Takashi stated.

"NEVER!" Chiharu said hitting him on the head. "Well then it's consequences!" Tomoyo said with glee.

"You have to kiss whoever the bottle lands on!" Tomoyo said. "What!" both Chiharu and Takashi said together . . . they were going out you know.

"Sorry consequences." Tomoyo said.Chiharu spun the bottle, and it landed on . . .

"Takashi?" Chiharu said dumfounded. She leaned over and kissed him on the cheek.

"NO!" Tomoyo said a little frustrated.

"I didn't mean for you to kiss him like that!"

"Sorry Tomoyo what's done is done!" Chiharu said happily. Tomoyo frowned, and crossed her arms a little disappointed. "That's not fair." Tomoyo said giving up.

"Who said truth and dare was fair!" Syaoran said accusingly.

"You're planning something evil I can feel it!" Syaoran yelled. Sakura giggled.

"You judge too quickly, Li-kun." Naoko said shaking her head. "Ya people change, Li-kun. It's been two years since you last saw Tomoyo." Chiharu stated.

"People like Daidouji don't change!"

"For heavens sake, she still caries that camera around, and that's not a good sign!" Syaoran pointed to the evil camcorder in Tomoyo's hand.

"It's rude to point Li-kun." Rika said matter of factly. Syaoran rolled his eyes, "Just spin the bottle Chiharu." Syaoran said flatly. Chiharu spun the bottle as it landed directly on Syaoran.

"So Syaoran, truth or dare?" Chiharu asked evil.

"He, he dare?" Syaoran said unsure, Chiharu looked towards Sakura.

"Truth?" Syaoran said still unsure, Chiharu kept her gaze on Sakura.

"Hoe?" Sakura said confused.

"THEN WHAT!" Syaoran yelled frustrated.

"What do you mean 'then what' just pick one Li-kun." Chiharu said frankly.

"Dare." He sternly.

"I dare you t—" Tomoyo cut her off, "Chiharu." She gave her some kind of single telling her not to do what she was about to do. Chiharu pouted, "But it was such a good plan."

"Um . . ." Chiharu thought for a while.

"I dare you to go to the office and yell something really drastic about the teachers or something in the PA."

"Um, but then don't you think they'll go looking in everyone's room searching for who isn't there?" Syaoran asked.

"Well that was your fault for agreeing to come tonight." Tomoyo said frankly.

"I knew I was going to regret this." Syaoran said as he got up and went towards the door. Everyone got up with him and started to follow, "You're all coming?" He asked.

"Of course!" They all said. Syaoran sweat dropped as he and the rest of the group followed him, to the office. Syaoran snuck around the corners and entered the office; he silently turned on the PA. And brought the microphone close to his mouth.

"Attention all teachers!" Syaoran yelled. You could hear everyone in the school waking up in surprise.

"This story sucks!" The next words he said made him surprised. "There isn't in of romance, it isn't KAWAII!!" Everyone in the office looked at him like he was mad. Tomoyo smiled at him and said, "I though I was the only one who thought that!"

"You still are Daidouji." Syaoran said as they ran back to their dorms. Teachers were searching everywhere.

"That was close!" They said as the tried to catch their breaths once they made it back. Knock knock, they heard the teachers banging on the door.

"Hello?"

"Okay everyone." Tomoyo started.

"Hide all the guys stuff, then tuck them into your sleeping bags, and just stand next to them. And guys don't you dare make a sound!" Tomoyo whispered harsley to them. They all did as they were told; Tomoyo then opened the door and smiled innocently at her teachers.

"Konichuwa!" Tomoyo said joyfully.

"Hello Tomoyo, girls why are you all up?" The teachers asked.

"I though everyone heard it." Sakura said.

"You know the person on the PA." Chiharu said.

"Of, course everyone heard it, it's just why are you out of your sleeping bags?"

"We think they're cursed!" Sakura said quickly. Everyone gave her an odd look then looked back at their teachers, and nodded their heads in agreement. One of the teachers looked at their sleeping bags with a confused look.

"Why are your sleeping bags so, big . . . as if someone is in them?"

"Um, um, they're double tick layered?" Rika said trying to cover them up. The teachers stepped to the closest sleeping bag, which was Sakura's, who had Syaoran hiding in there.

Oh no! Syaoran-kun!!!

Syaoran heard foot steps coming his way and said a little enchantment, and the teachers opened it to find . . . nothing what so ever. Everyone looked over in shock.

"Wow, where do you get these sleeping bags?" One of the teachers asked. "Um, your grocery store?" Sakura said.
They all looked at her confused . . . again. The teachers left the room.

The guys got out of the sleeping bags. "Where on earth is the Li guy?!" Hitaji yelled as he saw Sakura's empty sleeping bag. Syaoran dropped out of no where onto Sakura's sleeping bag, and everyone just started at him, then rubbed their eyes then looked at him again.

"Pinch me!" Hitaji yelled. "Um, okay." Sakura said as she went over to pinch him. He pulled away abruptly, "it was a figure of speech!"

"Oh . . ." Sakura said.

"Where on earth did you come from?!" Hitaji asked an exhausted Syaoran.

"Sakura, remind me never to do that ever again." Syaoran said as he fell on the sleeping bag once more still trying to catch his breath.

"I guess that means the game is off?" Sakura asked.

"Oh ya!" Syaoran said still panting.

"Awwwwwww!" The girls said as they scouted all the guys away from their sleeping bags except Sakura didn't want to disturb Syaoran who was now sleeping peacefully on her sleeping bag. They all fell asleep letting dream take over the conscience.


* * * * * * * * * * *


Syaoran woke up, he turned his head feeling warmth from something next to him, and there lay . . . Sakura. Still in her blissful sleep. She snuggled close to Syaoran, as his cheeks turned crimson. Sakura smiled as she fluttered her eyes open from her sleep. She soon was able to see clearly and her cheeks also turned red. They both were uncomfortable in their current position but neither of them moved.

Amber met emerald.

Still lost in each others eyes, Sakura had to say something. She hated uncomfortable silences. "So what did you do?" She asked.

"What do you mean?" Syaoran replied confused by her statement.

"How did you just disappear out of thin air and come back out of no where?"

"Um, in Hong Kong, during my training I was trying to learn this new technique. See it transports you to the middle of nowhere and then when you come back you just like fall from a short distance, it takes up a lot of energy, and apparently I haven't mastered it." Sakura blinked at him confused, trying to register all this information.

"In other words . . .?"

"I can kind of transport myself."

"Cool!" Sakura said happily. "Can you only transport yourself?" Sakura asked.

"At the moment yes, no one has ever been able to transport more then one person."

Tomoyo soon woke up next. "Did I miss anything?" Tomoyo said rubbing her eyes re-gaining her vision. When she finally saw clearly again, she hurried over to her camcorder and immediately turned it on.

"OHOHOHOHOH!!" Tomoyo said with glee.

"What?" They both asked.

"You're cuddling into each other!" Tomoyo said star eyed.

"KAWAII!" She yelled waking everyone up.

"Takashi stop lying!" Chiharu said bonking Takashi on the head in her sleep, as he nudged her to wake up.
"What happened?" they all said moving near Tomoyo to see what caused them to wake up from there beautiful fantasies . . . well for Chiharu, Takashi's torture. Sakura was now holding onto Syaoran they were all staring at them with wide eyes.

"What?" They both asked . . . again.

"You're both cuddling together." Chiharu said

"Under the same blanket." Hitaji said getting close to Sakura lifting up the blanket. Sakura slapped his hand because it was a little too close to her.

"Hentai!" Sakura yelled.
Everyone's eyes grew wider thinking that she slapped his hand away because of what was under the covers.

"Are you two . . .?"

"NO!" They yelled before they could finish. Sakura let go of Syaoran as she got up.

"See I have all my clothes on!" She yelled at them. They all sweat dropped.

"Sorry . . ." They bowed their heads in shame for even having the though that Sakura and Syaoran . . . well you know. Syaoran got up and headed towards the door with his stuff.

"Where are you going?" Hitaji asked accusingly.

"To take a shower."

"After last night I probably smell like you." Syaoran stated as he made a disgusting face and stomped away.
Everyone else grabbed a few things and headed towards the showers, which was by the way a 15min walk. As they were walking Hitaji just had to ask a really stupid question, "So what are you Li? An alien or something?" Syaoran gave him a death glare.

If looks could kill . . .

"No," He stated.

"Then how on earth do you do all those crazy things?"

"What crazy things?" Syaoran asked trying to sound clueless . . . like Sakura.

"Never mind . . ." They walked in silence the rest of the way to the showers.

"I go first!" Chiharu yelled as she entered the girls' bathroom, and locked the door.

"I'm going next!" Rika said starting a line in front of the girls' bathroom. Naoko lined up behind her, Xylo, then Alyana, Tomoyo, and right when Sakura was about to go line up behind them, all these girls came scrambling in front of her.

"Hoe!?" Sakura sighed as she lined up to be the last person to take a shower.

"I'll go first before any of the guys came along and do that to me." Takashi said as he went in, behind him lining up was Hitaji, Toriji, and then bad luck for Syaoran all the guys came and scrambled in front of him.


2 hours later . . .

"Sorry Sakura, Li-kun, the line is taking too long we're going be late for breakfast; there might not be any food left. We got to go now! See you two later!" Tomoyo said as her and everyone else rushed to their session.

Sakura and Syaoran sweat dropped. They headed for the showers way too early, and only 2 hours past, they were just ditching them! Sakura and Syaoran waited patiently in line and when they finally had their turn they really were late for breakfast. They rushed through the cafeteria's doors.

"Took ya long in of." Toriji stated.

"We saved your trays!" Tomoyo smiled at them. She seemed to have calmed herself from her last night's hyperness.
Sakura and Syaoran sat down and ate hungerly.

"Well we have to go, to talk to our first suspect, see ya!" Rita said as she Toriji, Naoko, Takashi, and Chiharu got up to do there session thingy.

"Hat uo . . . ie ave next?" Syaoran said, with a mouth full.

"Syaoran don't talk with your mouth full!" Sakura warned.

"Sorry." He stated before asking again, "What do we have next?"

"It's a free space." Hitaji stated, after looking at the sheet.

"So what do you want to do?" Sakura asked.

"I just want to think to myself." Xylo said, while Syaoran and Hitaji nodded.

"And I have to finish you dress for the dance." Tomoyo said simply. Sakura sweat dropped, "What dance?"
Everyone fell over anime style.

"Haven't you looked over the schedule?" Syaoran asked.

"No," She stated simply.

"We have a dance tomorrow." Xylo announced to Sakura.

Sakura blinked t them then cheerfully said, "Okay!"

The group went their separate ways.

* * * * * * *


Sakura walked down the halls, and then headed outside. It started to get cold, and a slight drift of rain started. Sakura sat down under a sakura tree holding herself to keep warm.

What's happening? Why do I have that feeling again, when Xylo and Alyana's necklaces glow? I don't think I ever felt that kind ener—

Sakura shot up from her sitting position, staring around her. Searching for that dark aura she just felt. After Sakura reassured herself that she was just hallucinating she leaned against the tree and closed her eyes. She opened her eyes when she felt something swoosh by her, and feeling the same aura. She kept looking around almost certain it was real.

"Sakura, stop fooling yourself, there is no one here." Sakura said to herself calming her down. She closed her eyes once more to feel an overwhelming aura. She opened her eyes, to this time be greeted, with about two dozen pairs of red eyes, beneath the black cloth of ninjas. Sakura gasped, as the light drift of rain became a tad bit stronger.

Sakura dug in her pocket for her key. She grasped it tight in her palm, as she conjured up her staff, "Key that hold the power of the stars, show thy true self to me, I command you under the contract. Release!"

* * * * * *


WHAT THE!!

Syaoran looked around franticly; he could have sworn he felt an evil aura and Sakura's pink aura glow brightly.

Stop using your eyes and start using your brain.

He searched his brain for the main location of Sakura's pink aura.

There!

He ran towards a cherry blossom tree where he found Sakura fight about three dozen ninjas.


* * * * *

Ninjas everywhere, and every time she destroyed, two would appear in its place. She was fighting one, and she was only finished with it when a ninja behind her came at her with its thin blade, about to slash into her body. She covered her face waiting for the pain to hit her. But instead she heard the crashing of a sword against another.

Sakura opened her eyes to find Syaoran battling the ninja. Syaoran slashed his sword through his body, as he disappeared in thin air, and two formed immediately in its place. "What the—" It started to rain very heavily.

Syaoran looked confused as the two ninjas charged towards him. He went into a fighting stance as he started blocking and attacking them. Sakura and Syaoran were back to back, fighting whatever came in their way.

"Sakura, why do the keep multiplying?" Syaoran asked, as he blacked a movie of his challenger.

"I don't know!" Sakura asked as she used windy to blow them a little back. Syaoran though as he blocked the moves of his opponent.

Well maybe it isn't just one force.

He thought to himself.

Maybe it's two forces . . . This is confusing. Well whatever is making them multiply we should get rid of first.

"Sakura!" Syaoran yelled franticly.

"Use woody and tie all the ninjas up!" Syaoran said. "I can't they're all scattered to far apart!" Sakura yelled back.

Because half of the ninjas were attacking him and the other half were attacking Sakura, Syaoran flipped over sakura so the he was facing her, and all the ninjas behind him followed. In doing this flip, Syaoran got a few cute from the blades of the ninjas' on Sakura's side.

"Hurry!" Syaoran yelled at Sakura as he turned around to fight the rest of the ninjas. "Woody, release and dispel! Tie up the Ninjas!" Sakura yelled, as she threw out her card. As the ninjas were ties together, the seemed to collide, into each other forming one ninja.

He cut through woody with his long thin blade. He pointed it at Sakura as he charged for an attack. Sakura was caught off guard, but luckily Syaoran was there to fight for her. But fighting the combined ninja was harder and more difficult then the rest, it was like them all combined. So Syaoran had a few slips, and the blade lashed at his skin barley touching, but still cutting him. Syaoran soon trust his sword into the ninja, and watched two cards separate from him, but the ninja was still there, paralyzed for the time being.

"Sakura change them into a sakura card or something, he's going to come back and attack!" Syaoran yelled at Sakura. "What do you mean?"

"Make them Sakura cards!"

"But I don't know how!" Sakura said franticly.

"Just try! I know you will think of something!" Syaoran yelled her hair damp with rain, his clothes all wrinkled, blood mixing with the water. Water from her bangs that hung over his eyes dripped on his face. "Oh card created from all evil, show thy true form, and become Sakura card!" Sakura yelled, as two cards came towards her.

"Multiply and Ninja." Sakura read the names of the cards. Sakura fell to the ground. And started to cry, "Not a whole new batch of cards to collect again!" Sakura sobbed franticly. Syaoran came towards her, rain pouring at them hard. He tock of his jacket and put it over her arms. As he then wrapped his arms around her waist.
She flung her arms around her neck and cried into his shirt. "Don't want all this trouble to start happening again!"

Sakura whines, her voice muffled, but clear. Syaoran hugged her tighter, "Come on Sakura we can do this, don't let it get to you. That's exactly how they want you to feel." Syaoran lifter her head slightly off his shirt and brushed off her tears, and gave her one of his rare smiles. She smiled back at him, and then it immediately changed to a frown when she got a good look at him. "You're bleeding all over!" She cried.

"I'm fine." He said lifting her up. Even with all the bruises and cuts, Syaoran was stronger then Sakura was, after changing, the two cards that attacked them into Sakura cards.

They were both late for dinner, they knew it. Syaoran headed towards the girls dorm and laid sakura down on a few desks. "Wait here and I'll bring us some food," Syaoran said as he left her side to leave.

Sakura grabbed his arm, "You're hurt much more then I am. I won't let you go till I bandage your wounds." Syaoran looked at her wordily, "But you're more exhausted. I can handle them, and after I get the food I'll bandage them myself."

Sakura shook her head, as she lifter herself up, and slowly walked to her bags to get some cloth, and a water bottle. She dipped the cloth in water, as she slightly went over to Syaoran's arm and wrapped hit slowly but tightly. Syaoran winced in pain as the cloth hit his wound. Syaoran grabbed her arm, "You don't have to do this." Syaoran amber eyes pierced to Sakura's emerald orbs. "But I want to," She said smiling at him.

So she continued to bandage his wounds, and once she fastened the last on around his chest, also in the process of blushing madly. Syaoran wrapped his arms around her and whispered a, "arigato." Sakura smiled at him as the door swung open to revile, all their friends looking at them for the door, worried and surprised.

"You were here the whole lunch hour?" Rika ask as Tomoyo was tapping them star eyed. Sakura and Syaoran sweat dropped, as Syaoran slowly let go of Sakura's waist. "Well luck for you we brought up your lunch." Xylo said flatly.

They both nodded their head in acceptance, and said their thanks and she ate their food hungrily like they have never had the taste of food in their mouths before. Everyone sweat dropped. Sakura finished and said her good byes and the boys left their dorm. Sakura lay comfortably in the bed of desks Syaoran made her; she brought up her sleeping bag and fell in a deep slumber.


* * * * * * * *


"Sakura what are you doing, sleeping!?!" Tomoyo yelled as she pulled the sleeping bag off Sakura.

"Kero! Just five more minutes," Sakura stated flatly.

"Sakura the day isn't over we have to go to our suspect interview!" Sakura got um lazily and rubbed her eyes.

"Don't you want to go to Florida?"

"Ya . . ." Sakura said only half conscious. Tomoyo tock Sakura and headed with Xylo to the boys, yes even the mummified Syaoran, Sakura giggled, and blushed slightly. They all headed towards, wherever Max or Maxamire was. Tomoyo took out her camera, while everyone else took out a notepad.

"Okay Max!" Tomoyo yelled.

"Where were you at the time of death of sensei Kotashi Mianji?" Syaoran asked.

"I was at the club, mate." He stated simply.

"What a ridiculous alibi!" Xylo stated.

"Okay, I was taking her secretary out on a date, happy now?"

"What were you two talking about?" Sakura asked jolting notes. "We were talking about how annoying sensei Kotashi Mianji could be." They all looked at each other confused.

"But they said that Chochang Mihataji was his loyal secretary?" Hitaji said.

"So what, haven't youse held a grudge against someone youse were loyal to?" Max asked.

"But that's only when they do something extremely annoying!" Syaoran retorted. "Well, you're too young to understand." Max said frankly. Syaoran shot him a death glare, causing his to kind of trip backwards.
They stuffed their laughs as they watched him gain his posture.

He glared at them, of course it wasn't as affective as Syaoran's, but it gave them a clue that the session was over.
They sighed and left.

* * * * * *


"I can't believe this!" Hitaji erupted with anger, "We have and hour to spare!"

"So, what do you guys want to do?" Sakura asked throughing a ball in the air and catching it. Everyone shrugged. They sat there for five minutes in silence before Syaoran asked, "So?"

"Ya . . ." Everyone replied in union.

"Let's play a game!" Tomoyo suggested.

"No!" all the guys yelled still remembering truth or dare spin the bottle version.

"I'm sooo bored!" exclaimed Sakura. "Aren't we all?" asked Syaoran. Suddenly there was a loud noise outside. A noise you couldn't describe. Everybody got up instantly and ran for the door to see what was happening. They ran into the hall to see this misty substance run out of some kid's mouth as he fell to the floor, unconscious. Well at least Sakura and Syaoran saw the substance.

They school called the ambulance and they took the kid away. "What happened?!" Tomoyo asked running towards their friends. "We . . . don't know." Rika said.

"He was just walking and all of a sudden he started to attack students." Chiharu said not leaving the spot where the kid fainted. "What was the screech kind of sound then?" Sakura asked.

"I don't know they kid made that sound when he started to attack." Takashi answered. Sakura and Syaoran looked at each other thinking the same thing.

Another evil force . . .

* * * * * * *


Because of the recent event all other sessions were canceled, except of course eating and snacks.
The day went by slowly for the gang. No mentioning anything that just happened that day. They fell asleep, just thinking about it, knowing something had happened.


* * * * * * *


After they woke up cleansed, and had breakfast. Tomoyo dragged Sakura to their dorm to make her try on the dress she made her. "Oh, my gosh Tomoyo this is beautiful!" Sakura said twirling around in her dress. " I know I spent long time in making it." Tomoyo said.

"So are you going to wear it to the dance?" Tomoyo asked hopefully. "Of course!" Sakura said. Sakura took off her dress and ran to meet the others to talk to Jasmine.

* * * * * * *

"So, you're saying that you broke up with Ned because you thought he might be planning something against sensei Kotashi Mianji?" Sakura asked as Tomoyo zoomed in on her face. "Yes," Their suspect stated. Tomoyo changed her position so that the lens of her camcorder was on Jasmine.

"No further questions." Syaoran stated like a lawyer.

The gang headed towards their dorms. "Not one clue showing any signs of a murderer." Xylo sighed.
"At this rate we'll never go to Florida!" Hitaji said as the rest of them sighed. They headed towards the cafeteria to have lunch.

* * * * * * *

After lunch they headed towards their room to get ready for the dance.

Tomoyo wore a beautiful silky strapless purple dress that hugged her curves, showing her figure. Her hair flowing down all the way to her waist.

Chiharu wore a pale orange mini dress that went over her knees with a cut on the side, her hair still in pigtails, with her bangs flowing over her face.

Rika wore a pale yellow dress with spaghetti straps that flowed over her ankles, her hair down barley touching her shoulders.

Naoko wore a simple white sleeveless dress that was barley higher then her thigh, her hair down.

Sakura wore a very pretty spaghetti strap silky pale pink dress that flowed till her ankles. Her fair ties up into a complicated bun with strands of hair coming out causing a beautiful look. She has the same kind of material of her dress as elbow high gloves.

Sakura, Tomoyo, Rika, Naoko and Chiharu talked happily as they headed towards the gym where they were holding the dance. As they walked in Sakura noticed Syaoran in a corner with the other guys. She blushed at the sight of him, she never saw him in a tux, and surprisingly it wasn't green. He looked so handsome. Sakura and the girl walked up to them.

Sakura still blushing. Syaoran looked her up and down and then whispered to her; "You look beautiful . . ." He was at a loss of words. Sakura blush deepened at Syaoran's comment. "Arigato," Sakura said and looked at him, emerald met amber.

They were no longer in the gym surrounded by people; they were in their own peaceful world, where only Sakura and Syaoran existed. "Why don't you guys dance?!" Tomoyo said happily pushing Sakura into Syaoran. Syaoran caught Sakura with his arms around her waist, and Sakura grabbed his neck for balance.

A slow song played through the gym, as the couple blush while holding each other swaying to the music. They never wanted this moment to end. Sakura always wanted to have Syaoran's muscular warm arms on her waist, feeling his breath on her, up against her. While Syaoran always wanted to have Sakura close, just holding her, having her to be with him.

I never want this to end . . .

But unfortunately it had to. Oh but not because the song had to end oh no it was because everyone started to scream and leave the gym. Sakura and Syaoran still holding onto each other unfortunately had to take their eyes of each other to see why everyone was screaming. Something invisible was inside the gym, breaking everything crashing around throughing it's self onto things breaking up couples.

The gym was a disaster. It couldn't go more wrong. Syaoran dragged Sakura out of the gym, and they ran for their dorm. "We have to stop this force before it attacks again!" Syaoran said to Sakura.

"I know!" Sakura said sadly. "But what?" Sakura looked sadly at Syaoran. "We just have to wait and see . . . ."



* * * * * * *


All the students went back to their rooms to change, and were then forced to go back to the gym and clean up the mess. It was a big disaster, the school has to pay for new windows, new shades, new everything. It was all a disaster. They cleaned up quickly and silently.

After they were finished they were headed back to their dorms when they heard some students talking, "Did you hear?" One boy asked. "What?" His girlfriend asked not knowing what he was talking about. "They say that the ghost of sensei Kotashi Mianji is roaming the school and causing all these disasters. And they say that the kid that just went nuts, was possessed by his ghost, and was trying to give us a clue or something."

Syaoran rolled his eyes, "don't they know? Sensei Kotashi Mianji is just a fictional name for a fictional character, for a fictional story."

"Hoe!" Sakura still didn't like the thought of ghosts even if they were fictional. "Com on Sakura, you know just as well as I do how insane this is." Syaoran stated flatly. "I know but I still get goosebumps at the thought of it." Replied Sakura. Syaoran sighed.

Some people never change . . .


* * * * * * *


Sakura woke up to the Thursday morning shine for outside her window. She couldn't believe it was Thursday already, I mean it seemed like just yesterday that her and Syaoran couldn't decide which snack to have. She got her stuff and headed towards the showers. He and Syaoran were waiting outside for their turns.

"AHHHHHHHH!!!!" A voice cried from inside the girls shower area. Everyone scattered afraid they will meet the dreaded sensei Kotashi Mianji. Well the ghost of him anyways. Sakura and Syaoran headed to the front of the girls' shower room, but Syaoran stayed outside, not wanting to disturb the lady, even if she was in distress Sakura could handle it.

But what if she can't!

A random thought popped up in his head.

But she can! She's the Cards Mistress.

Syaoran reassured himself.

There was another scream heard from inside the shower. Syaoran was desperate, what if Sakura needed help? No, no she didn't she is the cards mistress she might even be stronger then him in a matter.

But that doesn't mean she's invincible. And two heads is batter then one.

Syaoran was so busy in his thoughts that even didn't even realize that the girl yelled out screaming again, and ran outside hold onto her towel, and in her other hand she clutched her clothes. Syaoran ran inside to find Sakura paralyzed on the spot, he went closer to her and saw her crying, but she wasn't sobbing. Only tears strolled down her soft cheeks.

"I couldn't do anything!" Sakura cried, "I was too weak to even help her!" Sakura sobbed flinging herself on Syaoran as he rubbed her comforting her. They got up after Sakura stopped crying and they headed back to school.


They ate breakfast and headed towards their next suspect. Chochang Mihataji, the secretary of sensei Kotashi Mianji.

Alyana sat in front of them; being as well as she could in her character. "So, Aly—I mean Chochang Mihataji, what is your relationship with sensei Kotashi Mianji?" Tomoyo asked.

"I was his secretary." She said flatly. They all nodded and scribbled notes, while Tomoyo just started through her lens. Alyana knew she was always supposed to slip something small to make it easier.

"He sometimes got annoying, and I'd help him out tell him how he can make it all better for himself." Chochang stated with a weird smile plastered on her face. "I did not murder him; I only told him how he could make himself a happier person."

"Now if you may excuse me, I have to get going." Alyana got up and left them. This was probably the most info, and most important info they have ever received. They would have to base their conclusion off this information.

The rest of the day went by smoothly, they also decided that they needed no more interviews that they already got all the information they needed. And factually there were no more appearances of the so called 'ghost' of sensei Kotashi Mianji.

Sakura was walking towards her dorm with the rest of the group when her surroundings suddenly got blurred, Sakura started to feel dizzy. She found herself in a dark place.

'Hehehehehehehehehehe'
'Poor, poor Cherry Blossom.'
'W-who, w-who's there?'
'How will you last without your Little Wolf' the voice said in more of a statement then a question.
'Stop!' Sakura yelled into thin air.
She was surrounded by darkness . . .
Then, she saw Syaoran.
'Syaoran!' Sakura yelled.

He was staring at her, a look of sorrow and sadness filled his eyes, then he looked at her as if he will never see her again, he gave her a little rare smile, turned his gaze away from her and looked into the darkness, with concentration.
He parted his lips a little, and into his mouth went a white mist, a silvery white mist.
His eyes grew wide, as he clutched his hands to his chest, breathing unevenly, he fell to his knees . . .

Then his eyes went blank as he swiftly fell to the ground.

'SYAORAN!!! NOOOOOO!'

* * * * * * *

"SYAORAN!!!!" Sakura yelled waking up.

"What?" He asked as he ran to her side.

"Oh! You're okay!" Sakura yelled crying into her shoulder as she hugged him tightly. "I should be saying that to you!" He said holding her.

"Why?"
"You blacked out, right when we were walking, you just fell. We took you to the nurse, she just said that you fainted." Sakura only realized her unusual surroundings. The two teen held each other glad that the other was okay.
They pulled away and Syaoran stated, "You've been out for a while, it's very close to midnight you better go to your dorm and get some sleep." Sakura nodded, and Syaoran helped her up and they walked of.

The next day went smoothly at the beginning, they had solid evidence for their mystery. They had gone to the lab, and went to the library to look for evidence. They were just sitting outside when Tomoyo remember something urgent.

Tomoyo grabbed Sakura and Syaoran's hands and rushed them to the girls' dorm. "I almost totally forgot!" Tomoyo said. She took out two costumes and through them at the couple.

They looked at her and sweat dropped. "Well, what are you waiting for!" Tomoyo said, rushing them into closed closets to try on the costumes she made them. They both came out after fifteen minutes.

Sakura was dressed in a beautiful satin silky white dress, with complicated strands and designs. It flowed till her ankles, with glassy while slippers. Her hair was down with little curls at the end, a little tiara on her head instead of a hailo, sparkles on her face and hair. Two pure white silky satin gloves to match her dress. And pure white wings behind her.

Syaoran wore the darkest shade of black baggy pants, with a matching sleeveless top. And a cape, he had a black bandanna around his head, and look absolutely handsome. Tomoyo squealed and brought out her camcorder. They looked like the perfect couple.

An angle having forbidden love for . . . well I guess you could call him a demon or something dark. "I'll call this 'Forbidden'" Tomoyo said happily. They were going back to change into their original clothes but Tomoyo stopped them, "You can't take those off, it takes too long for you two to get ready, and the dance is in only 5min!"

She grabbed their hands and dragged them off into the gym, which was fixed. Tomoyo left quickly to get ready, she came back in 5min to make sure that her kawaii couple didn't do anything without her their to tape them.

Tomoyo, wore a gypsy costume, it was a purple baggy top, with frilly and shinny pieces on the long skirt, that was a see-through purple. She wore a tinny purple skirt under it. Her hair was down, and curls in every corner. She had on lots of bracelets, and necklaces on. In her hand was her camcorder as she taped the couple.

The groups met up with each other soon and started to chat. "Wow, Sakura! You and Syaoran look like a forbidden couple. Its fits your personalities perfectly, and you guys look gorgeous!" Chiharu cheered.

"Hey! Are you saying that I'm evil?!" Syaoran retorted. "Well, yes and no . . ." Chiharu stated. Syaoran just gave her a soft glare before he walked off. They played all the games, and tried for everything. At the end of the day, which surprisingly didn't contain any sign of the evil force, they announced the winners for the best costume.

"In third place we have Hitaji, who is dressed as a pirate!" Hitaji went on stage, and got his prize.

"Next we have Xylo, who came as a dark angel!" Xylo blushed and the people cheered for her.

"And in first place, we couldn't decide, so we have two people, you might think he would go with the dark angel, but I do think I enjoy is his sweet one instead! Li, Syaoran and Kinomoto, Sakura!" They both blushed as they walked on the stage.

"The beautiful, pure angel and her dark night in shinning armor!" Their blushes deepened at the comment the received. "Congratulations, to everyone!" Everyone clapped their hands, as they made their way down the stage.


* * * * * * * * *


Sakura fell asleep on her bed once she hit it. She could hear Tomoyo's cries, of having her beautiful costume wrinkled and so on. When she woke, she felt a aura of menace around her, and it wasn't a good thing. When Sakura felt that kind of aura, it meant the day won't go so swell.

Something bad is going to happen I just know it . . .
