Hey! I'm back with the second chapter! Gomen about the first chapter's paragraphing styles. The "..." didn't work out, so now I'm going to be using "----" or "--blah--" instead!

--Recap--

"So what are these stones' names?"

Fujitaka slightly smiled. "They are the Alpha Stone and the Omega Stone, also known as the infamous Soul-Stealers. (A/N- Here's just a little info. In Greek, Alpha means beginning and Omega means end. I found that in the dictionary and decided to put them to use. Hehee...anyway, continuing on!)"

"Hmm, that's interesting."

"Glad to hear you don't find it boring. Anyway, there will be four others who will join you with your quest other than Hiirigizawa-san and yourself. They will arrive tomorrow to stay here for the night and begin the journey next morning. And yes, Hiirigizawa-san will be coming along as well."

"Otou-san, can I at least know the names of the four others?"

"You will find out once they arrive tomorrow, alright?"

"Hai, otou-san. Well, I'm going off to take a nice shower! Oyasumi nasai, otou-san, oni-chan!"

"Oyasumi nasai."

"Oyasumi nasai, kaijiu," smirked Touya.

"ITAI!!!!!" screamed Touya after Sakura had stomped on his foot and ran up the stairs to her bedroom.

Twin Soul-Stealers
Chapter two

BEEP, BEEP, BEEP, BEEP, BEEP, BEEP, BEEP, BE-

BANG!!

"Sakura, wake up!" Touya whispered on the side of her bed, "Sakura! Wake up!"

A few minutes later...

"WAAAKE UUUP!!!"

"Hoe!! Oni-chan, what are you doing in my room?" Sakura looked around and gasped. "Oh my goodness! You poor, poor thing!" She rushed towards her bedroom wall to pick up something. "How could you, Touya? You killed my beloved Pinkie!"

A sweat drop was seen on the back of Touya's head. "You have a name for your alarm clock? What an idiot."

Sakura dropped Pinkie, glared at his brother, stomped on his foot HARD, ran to the bathroom, closed and locked the door, then started calmly putting toothpaste on her toothbrush and started brushing her teeth. Outside her washroom, you could hear banging on the door while a "Sakura Kinomoto, you're dead!" was heard along with some random curses.

Downstairs in the kitchen, Fujitaka sighed and said, "Here comes another long day," with the 'o' in 'long' emphasized. Just then, Sakura entered into the kitchen.

"Ohayo otou-san!"

"Ohayo Sakura-chan! You should get ready. Our guests are going to be arriving here in fifteen minutes. Quick, finish your breakfast and then go change into some presentable clothes."

Sakura looked down and saw herself wearing her pajamas. "Hai," she replied.

----

"Hmm...what should I change into?" Sakura silently questioned herself as she rummaged through her walk-in closet. "Aha! I found it!"

Sakura quickly rushed into the bathroom and changed into a pale green tank top and a pair of jeans with a brown belt which had strings that ended just above her knee on her right side. She then took a brush and combed her hair, not bothering with putting any make-up on except for a little lip gloss.

She smacked her lips together. "Good enough," and went back downstairs just in time to hear the doorbell chime.

"Otou-san, I'll go get it!"

As soon as the door opened, Sakura was greeted with two girls squealing and three people behind them carrying loads of luggage. It was, indeed, very hard to tell whether they were male or female.

Five butlers came out of nowhere from the household, took the luggage, and disappeared again just like that.

Sakura figured out the three who were behind the girls were boys after the suitcases were gone. She then politely greeted them and welcomed them into the mansion; however, the girls just ignored her politeness and exclaimed how they were going to have another girl to go on the mission with them. They were then brought to the lounge where they all saw Touya, but not Fujitaka.

"Oni-chan, where did otou-san go?" asked Sakura.

"Otou-san is having a meeting upstairs. I have to go up now too. I only stayed here to see them arrive. Hiirigizawa-san will be talking about the mission, and you guys can have your introductions, alright? I'm going up now. Otou-san and I will be back by noon."

"Hai. Ja oni-chan."

"Ja."

Sakura turned around and found the five guests staring at her intently. "So...ano...why don't we start with introductions first? My name is Kinomoto Sakura and, well, I live here. I'm seventeen years old and am usually home schooled."

"Well, I'm Hiirigizawa Eriol. You may call me Eriol. I am twenty years old and have the family business passed on to me."

"I'm Daidouji Tomoyo! Please call me Tomoyo and not Daidouji-san. It makes me sound so old! Well, I'm eighteen years old and like Sakura, I'm home schooled as well!"

"Yeah, same here. Name's Li Meiling, the cute cousin of stupid Li Syaoran over there! I'm seventeen years old too Sakura-chan!"

"Like Meiling said, I'm Li Syaoran yet I ain't stupid. I'm nineteen."

"Hey! My name's Izumi Roku, and I'm nineteen too! And, uh, I think all of us are home schooled."

"Ohohohoho! You're right Izumi-san!"

"Uh, Tomoyo, just call me Roku. Like you said, it makes us sound so old!"

"Hai! So we'll just call each other by our first names from now on!" Tomoyo exclaimed while standing up with her fist up in the air.

Everyone just sweat dropped.

"Ahem cough cough. Once we leave tomorrow at five in the morning, our first stop will be Egypt. Fortunately, we will be traveling in my private jet sponsored by my company."

"That's all?" questioned Syaoran.

"Well, do you want more?" asked Eriol.

"If that's all from Eriol, then can we explore your place Sakura-chan?" requested Tomoyo.

"Of course! Feel free! Oh wait! I have to show you guys your rooms for the night! Okay, follow me!"

----

"Tomoyo-chan, how long did you guys know each other?" Sakura wondered curiously. Behind them were Meiling whacking Syaoran's head, and Eriol and Roku sighing while shaking their heads about them.

"Actually, we just met on the plane while flying here. Our parents all received a call from Eriol speaking something of importance. It was them who told us about it. At least that's what I assumed about the others as well."

"Really? Wow, from the looks of it, it just seemed like you guys are so close. It was like you guys knew each other ever since you were little kids!"

"Ha! Well, that may only apply for Meiling and Syaoran. Speaking of which, Syaoran's single you know."

"How'd you know?"

"I have my sources," she said and glanced towards Meiling.

"Well, it doesn't matter. He doesn't really seem like the outgoing type. He's more like the-world-revolves-around-me kind of guy. Just not my type."

"Whatever you say Sakura-chan, whatever you say."

"Oh! We're here! Roku, Syaoran and Eriol, your rooms are on this side. Us, girls, are going to be directly opposite from you. I'm going to be in the middle room, Tomoyo on the right, and Meiling on the left. Just holler if you need us! We'll meet back in the dining room at seven where we'll have our dinner. Other than that, you're free to roam around! Later!"

And with that, the three girls disappeared into Sakura's room.

--Dining room--

"Tomoyo, I never knew you can sing so well! Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"You're not bad yourself Sakura! Maybe someday, we'll be able to team up together! What do you think about that?"

"That's a great idea!"

"Hey! What about me?"

"All three of us can team up together! We'll make a great band!"

"What about us? We feel really left out!" pouted Roku.

"Yeah! We feel left out!"

"Oh, shut it you guys. We know you can't sing. Even if you guys can, we'll still be thinking about whether to let you in or not."

"Well then Sakura, I challenge you, us against you girls."

"It's a deal Syaoran. Winners get to rule over the losers for three days. Otou-san and oni-chan will be the judges."

"Deal."

Well, this is a couple of pages longer than the first chapter! I hope you liked it! The adventure will begin probably next chapter or the chapter after that! So who do you think will win? The girls, or the boys? Well, you'll just have to find out next chapter! Please review! I'll update as fast as I can! Ja!
