Last time: Yelan walked to the middle of the room and bowed deeply. "It is a great honor to meet you all." She gave a small smile as she bowed and thought, 'It takes a lot more than that to get rid of me Syaoran. A lot more.'
This Chapter:
"Welcome to our class, Yelan" Terada-sensei smiled warmly. "Unfortunately I was just told of your arrival at lunch so I was unprepared for you to arrive. There are no available desks for you right now so you will have to share one with another student until the end of school today." Terada-sensei told Yelan. Looking around he asked, "Are there any volunteers?" Almost all of the boys in the class shot there hand high into the air with the exception of Syaoran, Eriol and Yamazaki. A few girls rose their hands up but the rest were glaring at her because of her popularity with the boys.
To Terada-sensei's surprise Sakura's hand was not among the crowd. 'Must be daydreaming again.' With a small sigh he looked around once more to see whom a possible candidate would be without traumatizing poor Yelan. Finally his eyes landed on Syaoran Li who was sitting calmly at the back, a small shocked expression on his usually unemotional face. He was staring at Yelan who was looking around curiously. With a small smile he knew whom he was going to pick.
"Syaoran Li, would you please stand up so that Yelan can see her 'desk-mate' for today?" Syaoran nodded and stood while various boys grumbled and glared at him. He remained unaffected even when his sharp hearing heard a few boys mutter, "Li is so lucky. Always getting the cute ones. First Sakura, then Yelan. When do we get a lucky break?"
Managing not to blush through those types of comments. Yelan made her way towards him. Stopping shortly at Sakura's desk. Looking at her with respect in her amber eyes she gave her a nod, before continuing to Syaoran's desk. She smiled as she sat down beside him whispering quietly so that only he could hear her.
"Thought you could get rid of me that easily, Syaoran?" she whispered with a grin.
"Nah. I knew you would comeback and find me someday" he answered returning her smile. Tomoyo and Eriol observed this quietly. They couldn't here what they were saying but they could see Syaoran smiling. Sakura didn't dare to look behind her while class went on so she missed this action. Eriol decided to have a non-talking conversation with Tomoyo and got out a few pieces of paper. Scribbling something down and then silently ripping it off he passed it to Tomoyo.
Tomoyo was caught off guard by the note because she was busy watching Syaoran and Yelan out of the corner of her eye. After regaining her composure she opened the neatly folded paper and read, 'Wow. That Yelan girl made Syaoran smile an actual, genuine, not-evil, normal, not-small, smile. You think there's one of those world-is-going-to-end soon things happening? Or an apocalypse?'
Smiling slightly at his sense of humor Tomoyo got out her pen and began to right.
Passing it back before the teacher noticed, Eriol grabbed it. It read, 'Maybe the world is getting ready to end. Syaoran is the type to be loyal to his crushes and he already like Sakura-chan. Maybe she's a family member.'
Deciding that Terada-sensei would catch them soon he wrote them finishing of the conversation. Giving it to Tomoyo she read, 'Maybe. We'll learn sooner or later, but for now, it looks like Kinomoto-san has some competition.' Tomoyo had a mischievous smile on her face after reading the last note. 'Looks like things just got a bit more interesting.'
blah blah blah
Sakura sighed and looked at the clock in about 6 minutes the last bell would ring and school would finally be over. Behind her she could hear the already-becoming-familiar playful arguments that Syaoran and Yelan would have. It had been going on all afternoon and no matter how comforting Yelan's aura was it didn't ease how this feeling shot bullets through her heart.
She recalled only feeling this once. She remembered what it was called. 'Jealousy' was what Tomoyo had called it when she had been upset that Yukito was giving more interest in another girl. It had all worked out though. Turns out that he had volunteered to help out at an American "Big Brother" program. Even if he did care for this girl more, Sakura realized she wouldn't have cared anymore. Before the dream, when she would daydream, she would think about Syaoran.
He was whom she could turn to for help in anything. Mostly magic or math. Now there was a new person who he paid attention to and she just came! She even heard from Tomoyo that she could make him smile already! 'But, you don't know. She could be related to him or something. Terada-sensei said she came from China,' the logical part of her mind told her. Sakura knew it was true but still! In China, the only family member that he had given his full respect on was his mother.
Behind her she could here Syaoran asking Yelan to move over a bit, and Yelan replying that she couldn't move anymore or she'd be working on the floor. Than there was a bit of a racket about how much she could move over. They were quiet enough that Terada-sensei didn't hear them but Sakura could hear them well enough. Once again Sakura looked at the clock. Under a minute for the bell to ring. Then looking back she saw Yelan and Syaoran grinning or smirking at each other as a few paper fell on both of them. She couldn't hate Yelan. Even if she tried because somehow there was something that made her trust her.
As the school bell rung to signify the end of school Terada-sensei dismissed the class asking Yelan, Sakura, and Syaoran to stay behind. When the last of the class had finally filtered out, (which were Tomoyo and Eriol,) Terada-sensei cleared his throat to speak.
"Sakura, Syaoran since Yelan is new to the school I would greatly appreciate it if you showed her around." Sakura and Syaoran both knew that the word no was not going to be an answer. Even though the question had been asked as if they were going to do him a favor, the look in his eyes meant to show her around. Now. "Don't worry," he called after them. "You'll be excused from your after-school activities!"
"Hai!" Both Sakura and Syaoran said in unison, while taking Yelan around to all the places she might go to. After a half-hour the entire school had been shown to Yelan and the only place left to show was the outside lawn for soccer, cheerleading, track and all sorts of other activities that the outside was used for. When everything was done, the entire school had filtered out with the exception of Tomoyo and Eriol who had come during the middle, wondering what was taking so long.
After finishing the tour they all stood in the middle of the everlasting yard, ready to ask where to next. Tomoyo, Sakura, Eriol and Syaoran were going to go "hang-out" and asked Yelan if she wanted to come to.
"Arigatou for the offer but I have to go back to my apartment and finish unpacking. I'll see you all tomorrow. Thank you for showing me around Syaoran, Kinomoto-san." She said bowing to both of them.
"Please call me Sakura," Sakura answered with a smile.
"Alright. Arigatou Sakura-chan," she smiled in return. She then gave Syaoran a kiss on his cheek, told him something in Chinese and ran off.
Sakura's smile faded as she watched Yelan kiss Syaoran on the cheek and tell him something she couldn't understand. Syaoran was watching her run into the distance and then turned back to them saying, "Let's go," as if nothing had happened.
'At least he isn't blushing' her mind told her. It still hurt though. Syaoran didn't even object too. He just acted as if nothing happened.
"Actually, I don't feel good. I-I might just go home," Sakura made up through gritted teeth. They could all tell she was lying but didn't question her. Sakura was a terrible liar.
"Sakura-chan. Do you want me to walk you home?" Tomoyo asked worried.
"It's al-"Sakura began to object but was interrupted as a water pillar came down onto, her trying to grab her. Luckily she had managed to avoid it and only soaked her pants.
"What the-"Eriol said looking up. Somehow when the group had been busy talking a thunderstorm had begun. It wasn't regular. He could feel the magic that was powering the massive thunderstorm that was attacking the small group from above, forcing Tomoyo to have to be protected by the others because she had no magic.
Sakura had her star wand out, Eriol had unleashed his sun staff and Syaoran was in the process of unleashing his sword. 'There's dark magic coming from there but I can't pinpoint it. It's like it's coming from everywhere.' No matter what they attacked it with, the water pillars kept coming. Not even the Sakura cards could hold up against it. Within seconds they were surrounded by a powerful, dark, unnamableforce. It was using water to attack them with and kept them inside of a circle, the outline that kept them in divided where they could or could not move. Walls of water trapped them. They were surrounded.
blah blah blah
