Chapter 5: Cosette's Little Magical Mistake and Syaoran's Burning Passion

Destiny: Hey! I'm back to give more announcements, but first LoveStar did you want me to stay for the remainder of the story?

Lil LoveStar: Yeah I did, you can tell them the things I don't want to tell them.

Eriol: Ok I've read the chapter LoveStar and… I know I have no magic in this but… Cosette won't mess up like that.

Lil LoveStar: Yeah I know but it's the funniest and most scandalous way to get the fire between SC started.

Kero: I don't like that brat. And I don't like this chapter either. She wouldn't mess up that badly anyway.

Lil LoveStar: On with it already! Oh and I loved all my reviews.

"Will this girl wake up, I'm already late for my morning training." Syaoran muttered trying to wake Cosette up. She was the heaviest sleeper he'd ever seen, heavier than Meiling and she slept heavy. She woke up when he took her in the bathroom and ran a cold shower on her. Screaming she jumped out soaking wet. Syaoran sighed as she frowned at him, he said, "Just get cleaned up and I'll see you at one. But next time, wake up when I first call you." He walked out of her room.

"Windy Card, dry me off. Windy!" Cosette said not too loud. Dried off she walked toward her window sill and took Kero and Showron. "I don't like that kid." Kero said stretching. Showron snickered and said, "Well it's not your opinion of him that counts, its Cosette's."

"I don't like him Showron." Cosette said looking at him with a skeptical look. She walked into the bathroom with them. "OH NO COSETTE don't tell me we have to do this again?" Kero whined. Cosette rolled her eyes, "You're only giving me the bottles nothing more, and I love you guys for this." Showron shrugged and Kero groaned but they agreed. "You know you could use the Bubble Card Cosette." Showron said trying to make Kero happier. Cosette giggled and looked at them both with a smile and said, "Fine, you don't have to do it. Now out." She said getting a towel. "Get out my… yellow dress that Madison gave me." They nodded and right before they left Showron turned and said, "Remember you have to practice on your potions at two today Cosette, be here after you do whatever you have to do." Cosette nodded and smiled at the little wolf and called the Bubble Card.

Syaoran

"Syaoran, can I watch?" Meiling asked running out onto the training ground. He just nodded and continued his training, slicing his sword through his invisible opponent, while concentrating his magic. While he did this he noticed something different in the castle, a new aura he hadn't felt before. One that was small and faint but he still felt it, but he couldn't place where it was, the color or who it was for that matter. He stopped in his place and looked at the castle. His father would feel it too, but at this hour he was in deep meditation so he wouldn't notice. Meiling came up to him and asked, "Syaoran what's wrong?"

"I feel a new magic in the palace." He said deeply looking at the structure before him. It went away quickly. He frowned not feeling it anymore. He started back with his training. Meiling asked him if the aura went away. He nodded. Meiling looked at the palace and noticed that girl, what was her name Cosette was looking out of the window at them. She smiled and moved from the window. Meiling frowned and continued to watch Syaoran practice. Around 12:30 that afternoon Cosette came out to find Syaoran and Meiling talking away. She was a half-an-hour early; she could go back to her room until one and be on time. She didn't want Meiling mad at her anymore then she was already, but before she could make an escape Syaoran looked at her and called to her. 'Darn it, why couldn't I just have left sooner?' Cosette thought. Turning around to see a normal faced Syaoran and a pouting Meiling she walked over to them and bowed. "You're half-an-hour early, but you're actually late by… six and a half hours, the time I really get up for training." Syaoran said to her. Cosette blushed from embarrassment, bowed again and muttered an apology. "Then why do you have her around if she's late Xiaolang?" Meiling asked looking away from Cosette.

"Because father ordered me to have her as my personal servant." Syaoran said simply. "She's done fine so far, with the exception of this of course." Cosette made a small sad look and hoped he didn't see it. Meiling made a face and got up to say, "Well Madison wanted me for a dress she was personally making so I'll go and see her, after I'll be dropping by auntie's shrine. I'll see you Syaoran." She said as she 'accidentally' hit Cosette with her hair and walked off. Syaoran sighed when she was out of sight and looked at Cosette with a weird look she'd never seen in his eyes before, it was a kind of wondering at the person she was, but he couldn't know that really because she wasn't who she was being claimed to be. She was someone else and she was going to find out who she really was.

"I'm half sorry for saying what I did." Syaoran suddenly said to her, taking her out of her thoughts and staring at him. "Meiling doesn't really like you for some reason and to stay on her good side I'm not going to be very nice until she leaves."

Above Syaoran and Cosette

Two very different figures watched the two talk to each other. The first was very angry at the fact that Syaoran was talking to her. The other feared for Cosette's safety around the boy who's father could control at a time, but at the same smiled at the cute upcoming couple that could be seen. They both could see that they would be together. Both figures disappeared inside the castle to plan the fate of the two below them, to either destroy it or start it and hope it flourishes.

Cosette

Cosette looked at him with slight sadness but knew that she wasn't in any position to say anything to Syaoran or kick Meiling's ass for that matter. She would take it though. Cosette nodded at Syaoran and his eyes softened for her. The clock rang loudly, signaling one o'clock. Syaoran looked at the clock and thought for a moment. Smirking he looked at Cosette and asked, "Do you know how to sword fight Cosette?" Cosette looked at him as if he'd gone crazy… well she did and she trained with her Cards. She was quite good at it, but should show him that? Well it probably wouldn't hurt to see how good the prince was, but at the same time he might start to come on to her secret. Why not.

"Yes I can sword fight." Cosette said.

"Really now? Well I suggest you get out of that dress, I would like to see how good you are." Syaoran said, he was a bit surprised at her answer but he loved a challenge, even if she probably wasn't that good he was curious. He'd ask questions later. "Hmm… I suppose I could make you an outfit." Syaoran said looking her body up and down. Using his magic Cosette was in a medium pink and black outfit that greatly outlined her curves. She looked at the outfit she was put in and blushed slightly. She looked at him with a skeptical look as he gave her a sword that he used as a child; it was lighter than the one he was currently using. Cosette held it with one arm and said, "It's too light." She said throwing it to him. Syaoran gave her a skeptical look. He decided to see how smart she is. He threw her his sword. She held it with both her arms then but it didn't look like she was having a problem holding it.

"Too heavy?" He asked.

"Not at all, this is perfect." Cosette smiled, mocking him. She knew he would try it and she made a fool out of him. Syaoran took his sword and gave her one just like it only it didn't have magic in it like his did. "What a tomboy you are." He said with a challenging look on. Cosette raised a brow at the cocky prince. "Yes and we're horrible at losing easily."  She smiled as she got into a stance and held the sword. Syaoran looked at her and got into a stance of his own. "Royalty first." Cosette said.

"As you wish Cosette." Syaoran said as he charged her. He skillfully swung his sword and Cosette dodged it just as skillfully. Syaoran looked as she stood looking at him with a smirk and waited for him to come at her. Syaoran knew she wanted him to come at her and he would but he would do it in a way she would never expect. He ran at her very quickly but changed his first direction. Cosette saw him disappear, she looked for him as he was about to attack her, she moved out of pure luck, since she couldn't use her magic and missed the hit. Syaoran stopped and looked at her dead in the face, 'How did she do that, the only people that could ever do that are my father and Clow, so how?' He thought. Cosette missed the hit by luck but now he was getting suspicious of her. She had to make the next move, she came at him with lightening speed and she hit him. Luckily Syaoran's light armor protected him so he would not get a cut. Syaoran looked at her, she beat him. He had to find out how she did that and how to beat her next time. He took away her armor and she gave him the sword. "That was amazing, where did you learn that?"

"I… just picked it up, I had to defend the children countless times from the guards." Cosette said, "And having a fighting partner like the guards and Eriol for fun, it helped." She added. The clock rang two and Cosette knew she had to leave, "Well that was fun your highness, I must go now, I need a bath and I have to get the rest of my clothes from Madison, and get your bath ready by five." She turned to leave.

"Hey Cosette!" Syaoran called. Cosette turned and looked at him with shining emerald eyes, that held purity and innocence, "I want you to be my training partner from now on." Cosette looked at him with an "o" expression but nodded and smiled as she ran off. Syaoran listened as she went upstairs to her room and looked at the balcony that led to her room. He continued his training with a pair of emerald eyes on his mind.

Cosette's room

"Good you're here; I got your whole project ready for you." Showron said. Cosette looked at her room. They put her room into a different dimension.

"Wow, what do you want me to do this time?" Cosette asked.

"Well the Cards were originally given to you, so we wanted to see if you're strong enough to make one of your own." Kero said. "We'll guide you through it but you have to do the actual work."

"But what new Card should I make?" Cosette asked.

"Any Card your heart thinks of." Showron said. Cosette went over to a small bowl that had glowing water in it; it looked like a swirl of rainbow, "What's that?" She asked.

"That will be the magic and form of the new Card; you have to make the actual Card where you will seal it." Kero said as he and Showron flew up toward her to watch her. Cosette looked at the water and saw an image appear in it; her heart was telling her that she figured out the new Card. She took out her wand and held it. "I use my wand right?" She asked.

"No, you use your natural magic, and make a form out the water." Kero said. Cosette looked at the water and she made it come out of the bowl. She made a form out of it; it had sugary pink wings, golden colored hair, and a white dress. She was holding a wand with a red orb at the top. "Good, now you have to quickly use the blank Card and seal the spirit, but you have to state the name of the Card to seal it." Showron said.

"But I'm not sure what Card it is." Cosette said. "How can I seal it…?" Before she could finish the spirit got scared because Cosette wanted to seal it and it left the room. Cosette, Showron, and Kero chased after it trying to stop it but it left the room and escaped. "Oh no, if the spirit is found then it might use its power, whatever it is." Kero said.

"What power does it have?" Showron said looking at Cosette. Cosette fell to her knees, Syaoran would find out her secret, he'll tell his father, and then they'll take her Cards away from her. She didn't hear what Showron asked her, all she could think about was losing her friends. She got up and took out her wand; she had to find that spirit.

Syaoran

Syaoran kept practicing, but he also kept thinking about how skilled Cosette was, it almost seemed impossible to him but yet she still beat him. He was determined to fight her until he beat her. He suddenly saw a little spirit fly past him. And it was magical, a very strong and pure magic too. "Element! Wind! Surround the spirit!" Syaoran yelled using his sword and a special kind of paper to trap the spirit. Syaoran looked at the spirit. The spirit looked frightened as Syaoran was about to touch it. The spirit used its magic on Syaoran, it hit him with a small blast of red energy from the orb a top her wand. The wind let go of her and she flew off, back to Cosette's room. Syaoran shook his head at being hit by the magic. He suddenly felt the biggest urge to see Cosette and do what he had wanted to do since the first time he saw her true beauty.

Cosette

The spirit came flying by Cosette to her room, 'What the?' She asked in her thoughts. She ran after it. She ran in her room to find the spirit captured in a glass jar by Keroberos and Xiao-lang (Showron's true form), "How did you guys?" Cosette asked as she took the jar with the spirit in it.

"I put magic on the jar." Keroberos said. "Now you have to seal it before it gets loose." Cosette looked at the spirit and concentrated on the spirit she made, she felt the kind of magic it had and what its power was. She held the empty Card and her wand and said, "Return to your power confine, PASSION CARD!" She hit the Card and the spirit broke out of the glass jar and went into the Card. Cosette sighed and looked at her new Card. "Nice job Cosette." Showron said back in his earth form. Cosette smiled and put the Card with the others and changed her wand back into a key and put it around her neck. She looked at the clock and noticed that it was almost four. She had to go to Syaoran's room to start his bath. "I'll bring you two dinner later ok." She ran out of her room to go to Syaoran's room.

Syaoran

Syaoran was in his room, something was wrong with him, that…that spirit, whatever it was, he couldn't get Cosette out of his mind, no matter how hard he tried. He heard a creak at his door. It was her, she was coming into his room and all he could think about was……….taking her.

Cosette entered the room and noticed Syaoran was there, staring at her. "Hello Syaoran, umm I was going to turn your bath." She said about to go into his bathroom. Syaoran used his quick speed and magic to stop her and pin her to the wall. Cosette looked up at him with fear in her eyes, "What are you doing?"

"What I wanted to do the first time I saw you." He whispered in her ear as he brought his lips down to her neck and started to kiss her. Cosette stiffened and became afraid; he would never do this so why was he doing it now? Syaoran worked his way to her lips and captured them in a passionate kiss. That's it! It was the Passion Card that did this. But she couldn't stop him or he would find out about her. Damn it, why when she actually wanted Meiling to be around she wasn't. (AN: The following italics are Syaoran's thoughts. Thank you) Oh, she tasted just like honey and cherry blossoms. But I wanted to stop before we were discovered but I couldn't and I didn't really want to. It was that spirit that brought out my desire for her. I want her so badly, but somehow this had to stop. Letting go of her I said while licking her stiff neck. "Get out of here." I let her go enough for her to escape my lustrous pursuits.

Cosette ran to her room and got out the Passion card and her wand she stopped the Card's effect on Syaoran.

Lil LoveStar: I finally got it done. There it is.

Cosette: Very good I say.

Showron: She liked the kissing from Syaoran.

Syaoran glared at the wolf.

Kero: U liked it too kid.

Lil LoveStar: I'll be back with the next chapter hopefully soon.
