Yang-chan: Okay, three chapters. YAY! I'm so happy! (star in eyes)

Li-kun: Yea, yea, anyway while Yang-chan is being her baka self here is chapter 3.

Summary: She was Naïve, they were on their toes. She would see the world in Pink and White. They saw it in black and grey. She would smile unaware of those around her. They would frown when she passed by. Sakura was happy and they suffered thanks to her innocence. So they finally snapped and confronted her only to drive her away. The Kinomoto curse had started. For every smile she had someone would frown, for every good moment someone suffered. Five years had passed since Sakura was driven away, and now a new girl has come to town, who is she and why is she so sad all the time? Why is it that when her tears fall that the town glows with Joy? She has come to take away all the darkness… but as always there is a price to pay.

All for a smile

Click Clack. The sound of someone typing an e-mail on their laptop hovered slightly over the buzzing of everyone in the Café.

Dear Dream Catcher

Things are pretty quiet here in Tomoeda. I moved in alright. It wasn't that hard after all! I'm really glad things turned out the way they did. Ohhh…I do miss everyone back home. Can you believe the stillness of such a little town? Of course you do! You've been in small towns before. Anyway, I'm okay. Not much to report here. I'll be sending a small article from the Japanese newspaper for you to read. It's about this strange incident involving a woman in the Park near my home. She turned up in the park with chains bound to her hands and feet but she swears she can't remember anything. The chains were severed and what ever was at the other end was gone. Have fun reading it!

Signed,

Raven

"E-mail sent!" said the little robotic voice. The person looked at the screen as she sipped her coffee. " That's just fine." Clicking on the little tab, she popped up another screen. It contained the article that she had sent along with her e-mail. Clicking the exit tab her screen blanked. " I hope Dream Catcher gets it." The bell from the door caught her attention. She looked up. Both Li cousins and someone she didn't know had walked in. Scrunching into her booth, she tired to look as small as possible. Too bad it failed.

" Hey, I remember you! I'm really sorry about the other day! How's your arm?" Meilin asked.

" Just fine. I've had worse." Suki smiled. The sky darkened as rain began to fall. She looked outside through her sunglasses. " Oh joy. Rain."

" It looks like we won't be able to go to the park Shaoran-kun!" said Meilin.

" Yes, but I'm sure we can enjoy the day here at the Café, right?" He smiled at Suki.

" Yes, I suppose you can." Sighed Suki as she finished her coffee. She stood up and gathered her things.

" Hey, what's the hurry? Why don't you stay with us?" Shaoran implied as the other two sat down. " We could use the company!"

" It looks like you have all the company you'd want." She looked at the two young women chattering away over the menu. " Why ask for anymore?"

" The more the better besides, you should get to know others in this town. Being the new person in town is a hard time in a person's life. Well, what do you say?" He held out the extra chair at the table.

" Come one and spend some time with us!" smiled Meilin.

" I'm sure we'll get to be good friends!" Tomoyo said gently.

Letting out a defeated sigh, Suki sat down. She placed her jacket in her lap and set her laptop on the table. The other two women smiled with joy. After placing their orders, everyone turned to look at Suki.

" What?"

" Well, Meilin said that you bought the old house on Kohaku street," Tomoyo tucked a strand of hair behind her head, " and I was just curious…"

" Yes, I do live there now as… Li-san has said. What I am curious about is when I was sold the I felt this chill in the air around it. It probably was my imagination, but it held a tone of sadness to it." There was silence as their drinks arrived. Suki pulled her drink close and pulled out a container. Putting exactly three drops in her coffee, she swirled it around until the red semi-clear liquid dissolved. She brought the cup to her lips and drank. Noticing the others staring at her, she put the cup down.

" Vitamins."

" Excuse me?" asked Meilin.

" The red liquid are my vitamins. I sometimes do not eat very well when I first settle down. I tend to skip some meals, so I carry vitamins that I can easily put into my coffee or any other liquids for that matter. To keep my strength up."

" Oh. Well, have about you tell us about yourself. You know, where you came from and stuff."

" Very well, I am Shino Suki. I come from England. My parents are originally from Japan but they moved to England a long time ago. I studied there, and I came here as a Rite of Passage that is common in my family. My other sibling has done the same. I really hope to stay in one place my whole life, but I haven't found that place yet. When I do I hope that I will find a happiness there that I have been working for my whole life. My father once told me ' Happiness is a goal many strive for, you are just taking a harder route than most. But I'm sure you'll find that happiness meant for you , I'm sure of it.'"

" So your parents are in England while you're here?" Tomoyo said slowly.

"No."

"Huh?"

" My parents have passed away two years ago…" Suki looked down at her reflection in her coffee. " I only have my sibling and a friend back home in England. They are awaiting my arrival in a year. In that year I am suppose to grow. But I do miss my father and mother. Both of them are my precious treasures in this life."

" We're sorry. We didn't mean to remind you of anything like that." Shaoran shook his head slightly. " It must have been rough for you."

" Oh! Don't worry about it. If I never talked about it, it would still hurt." Suki laughed. The sky outside crackled with energy. The room brightened with light as a lighting bolt raced across the sky. " It's getting worse."

" Yeah, normally we don't get thunder storms this time of the year." Shaoran scanned the sky. Somehow, this in no normal storm.

Ping! "You've got mail!" A little robotic voice called out. Everyone jumped slightly at the sound. Suki muttered a quick sorry and popped open her e-mail.

Dear Raven,

Not bad. I say this is getting interesting. Do what ever to stay safe. If this is going on, please do not do anything rash. I worry about your safety 24/7. Yes, you have grown since your father's death, but please be careful. I shall be up here pacing and worrying myself till I have a fever, but I respect your choice to move. Please, I say this once more, if you are in need just e-mail me and I shall be at your side in an instant. Have you been taking your medication? If you need anymore, just e-mail me and I shall figure out a way to get you your medicine. DO NOT EVER SKIP YOUR MEDICINE! Last time was the worst! I could have died taking care of you. You still have a job to do and it is one that no one else can take over. KEEP THINGS UNDER WRAPS AND DO NOT LOSE THE TEARDROP!

Yours,

Dream Catcher.

PS He says that you better be adjusting right and he sends his love.

" Oh, dream catcher, you baka." She muttered after reading the e-mail. Quickly she shut down the computer.

" Dream catcher?"

" My friend in England." Suki glanced at the clock above the others. " It was nice chatting with you, but if you excuse me, I must go. I have things that must be taken care of. Thank you for your company." She bowed and started walking away, putting on her jacket and slipping her laptop into it's case/

" Hey, Shino-san?" called out Tomoyo.

Suki turn around, her hand resting on the doorknob.

"Maybe we can come visit you sometime, at your home?"

Suki fell silent, then talking in a short breath she replied. " Sometime." The door opened and gust of wind entered. Everyone shivered at the coldness and all let out sigh of relief once the door shut. The trio looked out the window and watched as Suki walked quickly down the street, her figure quickly disappearing in the rain of the afternoon storm.

E-mail sent.

3:07 p.m. Thursday.

" She says that she moved in alright." The owner of the voice shut down the laptop that they were using. A smile appeared on their lips.

" Yes, well, I can't take her word for it." Another voice responded as they looked out a window at the nice clear sky.

" Really, you two don't trust her enough. She has grown plenty since HIS death." This one was busy putting tea on the table.

" Since, her Father's death." A fourth voice added, while stroking the black cat that sat in their lap.

" I just can't help worry about her." Replied the owner of the laptop.

" I agree with him. I worry too." The sun light warmed their face as they continued to stare out the window.

" We all worry about her, don't we?" They placed the last cup of tea down and looked at the one with the cat in their lap.

" Too much." This one leaned back in their chair, the cat jumping out of their lap. " At this rate, we'll all turn gray and die soon."

"HEY!" Everyone else replied.

" But, Dream Catcher, will she be alright?" the one at the window walked away.

" As long as she had The Teardrop with her, she'll be fine, Blade."

" It's Willow!" The one in the chair called out trying to annoy Blade.

" QUIT CALLING ME WILLOW! IT'S BLADE!"

" Now, Blade, Gem, calm down." The last one had put a cake down on the table. " We can't fight over something so simple."

" But, Crow, I was just having fun!" replied Gem.

" Crow, it's not something simple. IT'S MY NAME THAT GEM IS WARPING!" screamed Blade.

" Please, silence. Raven is our top concern!" Dream Catcher looked down at everyone. " As of now, nothing too big has happened, but I fear that something big will come soon. I can not tell anything of the future but I have a strong feeling…" everyone stood in silence.

" What should we do then, Dream?" asked Crow.

" For now nothing. But let's just keep an e-mail connection with her. And then, if worst comes to worst, we'll make our move."


Yang-chan: Please Review! And thank you for reading! ARIGATO MINNA-SAN! (wave)
