Kura: So...you liked the first chappy? I hope so. I also hope you'll review this chappy.
Kero: Me too! Why, you may ask? It's because Kura's a meany and won't give me pudding unless she gets reviews.
Kura: He's lying. I offered him some delicious fruit, but he wouldn't take it. So I said he can only get pudding every time I get a review for this story. See, he was lying!
Kero: Ya, like they'll believe you?
Kura: They will!
Kero: Why?
Kura: Uh...
Kero: See!
Kura: Because this story won't have one cliffy in it!
Kero: *frowns* You cheated!
Kura: Whatever you say, Kero. Now on with chapter two!
Love is like a white light: Chapter 2- My annoying little angel
Sakura cleared away the dishes from last night and hurriedly made breakfast. Sakura sighed petulantly. She didn't want to make a big breakfast, but her father had always told her to be hospitable to guests, no matter how annoying they may seem.
'My annoying little angel.' She thought, a smirk on her face.
'He's not bad.' Came a voice inside her head.
'Maybe not to you, Kit, but to me, he is.'
Sakura flipped the pancakes over, cooking the other side. She smiled faintly. Cooking was her one true love; she got it from her father. It was what made her an expert at potions, too. It was just an instinct inside her. Whenever Sakura was in the kitchen, making or baking something, all her problems seemed to just disappear.
"Wow, that smells good."
Except for that one, cooking just made that problem come near.
A week had passed since Syaoran had come to live with Sakura and Kit. Syaoran was usually cold and distant, his scowl and cynic comments making it clear that he didn't want to be here. But that was all right. It just meant that after this Oni-san was taken care of, Syaoran would disappear- and that was the way she wanted it.
Of course, Syaoran did have his moments when he was actually a decent person with a heart. He would stare at Sakura and...know that she didn't want to talk. But that wasn't all he seemed to know. He must have lost somebody he loved before he had died himself. He understood that she didn't want any pity-it didn't do any good.
Of course he was the cold-hearted Syaoran most of the time.
"Get the plates out, will you? I have to hurry up and get ready to go to work."
Syaoran frowned. He didn't like the place where Sakura worked. It didn't seem right for a 16 year-old to be there. More than that, she was alone on the way to and from work, that demon/warlock could attack at any time. Sure he hadn't attacked Sakura since the day Syaoran had come, but maybe Kyuushi was just biding his time. Who knew, maybe he was still in Timbuktu! "I don't want you working there anymore." Spoke Syaoran.
Sakura laughed dryly. "Okay, first off, who are you to tell where and where not to work? Second, where the hell else am I going to work? I'm 16, Li, not many people are looking for 16 year-olds."
Syaoran sighed deeply. She did have a point. But what if-no, that wouldn't work. Then there is-nope, that wouldn't appeal to Sakura. Why did he care so much, anyways? Must be some whole whitelighter/charge thing that couldn't be helped. Might as well go with it. Suddenly, an idea struck him. He was very reluctant to do it, but it would get Sakura a better job, Syaoran knew she'd be safe, and it paid much better than the crappy job she had now. He'd have to visit them again, but he was getting tired of ignoring their summons, anyways. "How good at you at being organized? How about typing?"
Sakura narrowed her eyes suspiciously. "Look around, Li, does this place look unorganized to you? And I'm a pretty fast when it comes to typing-250 words per minute with no mistakes." (A/n: Is that fast? It sounds fast to me)
Syaoran raised his eyebrows approvingly. "Then we're going to get you a new job. It's the one place I know you'll be safe, and the pay is really good. You can use your magic in front of certain people, and who knows, maybe you won't have to orb there after a little while. You can buy a car."
"Where is it?"
"My family's company. I think I can get you a secretarial position."
Sakura blinked several times. "You serious? I can be a secretary at Li Inc? I can leave that crappy job?"
Syaoran nodded and sighed. "Let's get it over with. They're gonna be ticked that I haven't answered even one of their summons, but oh hell." Syaoran closed his eyes, sensing for his mother. He groaned. She was with the clan Elders. Oh well, better get this done and over with. He grabbed Sakura's hand, and in a shimmer of blue lights, they orbed away.
~~~~~~Li mansion~~~~~~
Yelan Li had just finished reporting to the Elders that her son, Syaoran, had yet again refused to answer a summoning when a flurry of blue lights appeared a little ways behind her. Soon the lights took the form of two people: A man (one she recognized) and a woman (one she did not).
"Syaoran." She breathed. Maybe he had actually answered her summons? But why was there a girl with him?
Syaoran nodded formally to his mother and the others, and noticed that Sakura was slightly gawking at his mother. Neither his mother nor the Elders realized; they were a bit focused on Syaoran.
"Li, is that your mom?"
Syaoran nodded.
"But aren't you 21?"
Syaoran nodded again.
Sakura glared at him, then whacked his head with her hand. "Well, aren't you going to introduce me? Just don't stand there like some fumbling idiot!"
This caught the attention of both the Elders and Yelan. Syaoran didn't retaliate: something he was famous for. He did, however, glare.
"This is Kinomoto Sakura, my very annoying charge."
Sakura smiled sweetly at both the Elders and Yelan. "And this is Syaoran, my annoying angel."
Yelan got an amused look on her face. Syaoran had been busy. Her thoughts were interrupted by the Head Elder's voice.
"What power do you possess? Even with your aura hidden, it's radiating off you in waves."
Sakura frowned slightly. She wasn't aloud to tell, and she told the Elders that. They looked quite angry.
Syaoran looked at Sakura curiously. He'd assumed that the waves coming from Sakura were just her witch magic, and that was probably so, but the Head Elder seemed to know that Sakura had an aura. Why had she hidden this from him? It was important! Then suddenly, it clicked. He didn't know how, he didn't have that much information to draw a hypothesis such as this one. "Kinomoto, you had two guardians, did you not?"
Sakura nodded, somehow knowing what her Whitelighter's next statement would be.
"Then, are you the Card Mistress?"
All heads were turned in Sakura's direction, and all was silent.
"Hai." She answered.
While the Elders and Yelan gasped, Syaoran asked, "But how come I haven't seen the Cards?"
"When Kero and Yue disappeared, so did the Cards. The evil guy took them."
"So you weren't fit for being the Master of the Clow Cards. You couldn't even protect them." Stated one elder.
Sakura looked at the elder calmly. "First, I'll correct you. The Clow Cards no longer exist; the Sakura Cards do. Next, they disappeared months ago. Do you see all hell breaking loose? We share the same magic source; or rather I am their magic source. The Cards aren't just that, a deck of cards. They're spirits with thoughts and feelings. They are my friends and vice versa. The book won't open and the cards won't release unless I'm the one doing the opening and releasing. So no, I'm not weak. I'm alive, aren't I? Whatever the Cards feel, I feel. And when that idiot first tried opening the book...let me just say it hurt." She paused to let her words sink in, and then proceeded to speak. "I came here for a reason, Li. Didn't you have something you wanted to ask? Cause if not, I must get to work. I need some source of income."
"Right. Mother, I was wondering if you couldn't find a secretarial position for Sakura. She needs a better job then the one she has now. She's very organized and a fast typist, she'd be a good secretary."
Yelan looked the girl up and down. She liked Sakura, it seemed she was the only one that could control Syaoran even the slightest bit. Yelan, who had a touch of empathic powers, could feel the hurt and fright coming off this girl. With a nod, Yelan hired the girl. "You'll start right now, I'll take you to the office."
Sakura nodded and closed her eyes. "Since everything's fine and dandy, change me into something a lil more fancy." The spell worked and Yelan opened her mouth to call for the limo, but Sakura interrupted. "I can get us there a lot faster, we'll go my way." She looked at Syaoran. "You need to feed Kit, I didn't have time. And the food's done, just cold. Heat it in the microwave. There's money on the table, you can order a pizza." She grabbed Yelan's hand, and with a swirl of pink lights, they disappeared.
~~~~~~Li Incorporated~~~~~~
Sakura orbed in with Yelan in her office. With a swoosh of her hand; Yelan motioned Sakura to follow her.
"You're lucky, one of the secretaries was just fired yesterday. Now you're boss is Hiiragizawa Eriol. He's very-"Yelan noticed that Sakura had stopped following her. "Is something wrong?"
Sakura gulped loudly and shook her head. "No, not really."
"Good." Yelan said, not convinced. She stopped in front of an empty desk. This is your desk and that," she pointed to a door, "Is Hiiragizawa-san's office. Just go in there and explain everything. Your lunch break is at 12, until then, do whatever needs to be done."
Sakura nodded, and Yelan left.
Sakura took a deep breath, and slowly turned the knob of the door. All her friends had just been under a spell, that's why the ignored her. All Sakura had to do was find a way to break it. Sakura nodded and stepped in, only to find her once best-friend making out with her (sorta) stepfather on his desk. She took an even deeper breath and coughed loudly. Tomoyo quickly got off of Eriol, her face (and his) a beet red. Tomoyo blinked and cocked her head to the side.
"Wow, gomen nasai. For a second, I thought you were my friend Sakura. But she..." Tomoyo left out a big sob.
Sakura's brow furrowed. Tomoyo just thought?
'Oh, my hair's a lot longer than when I left, and I'm taller too. And I suppose I must look sadder. But...'
"What happened to-uh-Sakura?"
Tomoyo and Eriol both narrowed their eyes suspiciously—this girl sure was nosey.
"She died. A boy our age found her on an abandoned road. She'd committed suicide."
"I DID NO SUCH THING! I'M ALIVE AND WELL—WELL NOT WELL, WELL, BUT WELL IN THE SENSE THAT I'M ALIVE!"
"Sakura-chan?" Tomoyo asked in a voice that was barely a whisper.
Sakura huffed and glared at nothing in particular. "Did this 'boy' have black hair and eyes?"
Tomoyo had tears falling down her eyes, but she managed to answer. "Yes."
"Damn you, Kyuushi!" she exclaimed.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, Sakura. Nobody wants such dirty words coming out of such a pretty mouth."
Eriol pushed Tomoyo after Sakura and stood in front of them both. "Who are you?" he asked, speaking the first three words since Sakura had entered.
"Why, I'm Sakura's lover, aren't I, Sakura?"
Sakura scoffed. "Yeah right, you wish. Why would I be interested in somebody as stupid as you? You do know you're stupid, right? Ya see Eriol here? He's kinda the half reincarnation of Clow Reed."
Kyuushi's eyes opened in surprise, but soon a smirk crept onto his face. "So? I killed the other half, I can do it again."
Both Tomoyo and Eriol's eyes widened in shock, and then anger.
"So you're the one that cast the spell on Tomoeda so that none of us would care to think about Sakura! Bastard!" Eriol exclaimed. He opened his hand a ball of dark blue energy appeared. He threw it, but Kyuushi just dodged it by blinking.
"He's a half demon half warlock—Tomoyo!"
While Sakura had been explaining, Kyuushi had thrown an energy ball at the girl. Tomoyo collapsed, bleeding heavily. Kyuushi smiled and blew a kiss to Sakura, then shimmered away. Eriol had collapsed at Tomoyo's side.
"What can we do? She can't die!"
"Syaoran!" Sakura called loudly.
Eriol look up at Sakura as if she were crazy. Why was she calling the name of his cute little descendent? Soon he found out--his cute little descendent soon appeared. When Syaoran saw the bleeding girl, he instantly went by her side to heal her. With a gasp, Tomoyo was all right.
"What happened?" asked Syaoran.
"What do you think, baka?" came tedious Sakura's reply.
With Sakura's reply, Syaoran's eyes widened largely. But soon her realized what had caused her to anger—Kyuushi had just tried to kill another person that Sakura cared for.
"I'm gonna vanquish his sorry ass, just you wait and see."
~~~~~~Eriol's mansion~~~~~~
When Yelan found what had happened, she gave Eriol and Sakura the day off. Now those two—along with Tomoyo and Syaoran—were catching up.
"The day before you supposedly died—which I presume was the day you left Tomoeda—Tomoyo and I realized something was missing, wrong, whatever. Tomoyo remembered something about a Sakura, and the name broke the spell that I was under. I remembered everything and realized what we had done. I instantly broke the spell over all of Tomoeda, but that was when the boy—Kyuushi—came and brought you. You were dead. The autopsy (A/n: is that right?) identified that you had had too many Tylenol. So you were buried with the thought that you had committed suicide because of the town forgetting about you. Tomoyo and I moved to Hong Kong. Tomoeda just had too many memories."
Sakura yawned deeply. "I'm tired." She whined.
Tomoyo yawned, also. "Me too. Let's get to bed."
"Yeah. Oh, wait! Kit." Sakura called, holding out her arms. Kit orbed into them and leapt to the floor.
'About time.'
'Gomen and oyasumi nasai.'
Kit stayed downstairs, but Sakura, Tomoyo, and Syaoran went upstairs. Tomoyo showed Sakura to her room, and then entered her own. Sakura went to the directed room and with a few words, had changed into her pajamas. Warily, Sakura slipped into bed. After Sakura closed her eyes, she heared movement. Her eyes flashed open to see Syaoran collapsing on the couch in her room.
"What are you doing?" Sakura asked, annoyed.
"I'm sleeping in here tonight."
"Why?"
"Because I'm your Whitelighter and I'm supposed to protect you."
"Can't you protect me someplace else?"
"No."
"Kami, you're so annoying."
Syaoran smirked, though Sakura couldn't see it. "Yup. Remember? I'm your annoying little angel."
Kura: Gomen nasai, minna-san. I kinda had a big writer's block. That's why this chappy's kinda short. Do you like what I made happen to the cards? It was the only way I could continue writing. I tried the other ways, but nothing came. Besides, it was a lot easier. I hope you review, and I hope that I get the next chapter up soon. But the end of school is approaching, and a lot of tests and projects are coming, so I'm not promising anything. Remember: Review!!!
