XD yeah I know, longest lack of update in history...the thing is I wrote a "You based fic" (like, YouxRen coupling) and that's not allowed, so they suspended me fro a while. But in my defens, I wrote an email to the staff asking if I was allowed and no one wrote me back!! All the email's I've send there with questions never got responded!!

-cof- anyways, thanks for all the reviews, much appretiated

Cora: earthfairy doesn't own any of the Shaman King or Card Captor Sakura characters, thought she does wish she owned Ren and Sayoran.

------------------------------------

Yoh entered his house exausted. Tossing his sword aside, he entered the living room, were he found Horohoro and Ryu arguing over what channel to watch and Ren sitting in the corner in his usual arm crossed pose.

Yoh looked slightly surprised.

"I thought I'd be the first one here." He said, dropping down next to Ren. "I couldn't find anything, could you?"

They all answered negatively.

Tree days before Yoh had agreed to help out Sakura. They decided to split up and search for odd behaiviour around town, or anything that indicated a Clow card were nearby. The Sayoran kid was doing all he could with his magic board, but they still haden't had any luck.

"Hey, where's Akemi?"

--

A brown haired girl ran down the sidewalk, occasionally stopping and looking around. Looking slightly disappointed, the girl entered a random park and sat down under a sakura tree.

"Gaa! There's nothing here!" she moaned and streached.

A brown fire ball appeared next to her.

"Maby we should head back. I think we've searched quite enough for today."

"But look how pretty it's here in the park! Why can't you enjoy it?"

Akemi smiled and layed herself down on the grass. Bartholomew gave a low laugh and hovered around the girl's head.

Watching him, Akemi remembered the first day they met.

Akemi was born in Kyoto, She had a pretty random family, besides the fact both her parents were Shamans.

One day Akemi was I the library looking for a book to do a report on, when she accidently knocked over a book shelf. A rather odd looking book with no cover feel right on her head, almost knocking her out. To her surprise, a spirit came out of the book.

The first thing Bartholomew ever said to her was "What do you think you are doing?".

Akemi, who got over the shock pretty quickly, stuck her thoung out and replied: "Oh, sorry for trieng to get a book at a library. That was really stupid of me, I'll try not to do it again!"

The spirit sight and told her to leave him alone. Instead, Akemi pocketed the book and went home.

Aweackning from her daydreams, Akemi glanced at her watch. "Damn, I'm late…" she jumped on her feet and ran towards the Asakura home.

"See?" Bartholomew bellowed after her "I told you we should have went home!!"

--

Sakura entered the room in her cheery mode as usual. She, Tomoyo, Sayoran, Mei Ling, Kero and Yue were staying at the Inn.

"Good morning everyone!" she chirped, heading towards the kitchen. I'm going to make some breakfast, does any one want something special?"

Before anyone could reply, Akemi entered panthing into the kitchen. She held up one finger at Sakura "I'll….water….one…please…." she said between breaths, then collapsed on the floor. Sitting up, she looked around.

"Good job being late for the meetings Akemi" Ren spat at her "please try to keep it up, we wouldn't want you getting here on time now, would we?"

"He's right Akemi" added Sayoran "we can't make these meetings work if you always late".

"Oh god there's two of them!" whined Akemi, looking despretly around for help.

"Lay off" said Horo "we were just about to get to the real important part of this meeting; now Sakura, what were you sayng about breakfast?"
