Chapter One

The Teacher


Sakura stared at the lady who stepped into the class. Her brown eyes immediately caught Sakura's attention. Yes, immediately. She sensed a strange feeling from this lady but she had no idea what. Well, Sakura knew she could sense things that people couldn't. Not only her, Tomoyo and her brother, Touya can sense them too. People knew this as supernatural powers. But Sakura just regarded her power as six sense.

She watched as the teacher walked across to her table, put her things down and stared around at the class. Her eyes stopped on Sakura. Emerald with brown. Sakura felt her cheeks getting hot. Was there something on her fase?

"The name is Xin Li," the lady stated in an odd voice, "Goodmorning class."

"Goodmorning Li Sensei," The class greeted.

"As you people should know," Xin started, "Kiyoto Sensei is hospitalized. So I will be taking over her place is teaching you people math."

"What exactly happen to Kiyoto Sensei?" One of the students, Chiharu asked.

"As far as I know," Xin replied as she walked down the row towards Sakura and Syaoran, "Kiyoto Sensei is suffering from some mental problems caused by Syaoran Li. She might not be able to recover at all."

"What?!" The class almost shouted in shocked except Sakura, Tomoyo, Eriol and Syaoran plus Xin, who by then, stopped beside Sakura.

"Whatever Li had done to Kiyoto, I hope he wouldn't so it on me," Xin smiled at Syaoran, sending shivers down his spine, "I don't think you people would want to have your math teacher to keep changing, don't you agree, Sakura Kinomoto-san?"

Sakura blinked at Xin. She could feel herself brushing as Xin looked down at her as if trying to uncover her.

'How did she know my name? Oh. I forgot, I'm the rule-makers.' Sakura thought.

"Sakura-san?" Tomoyo's voice snapped Sakura out of her thoughts. Sakura looked over to Tomoyo in total confusion. Xin had already walked back to the desk by then.

"I hope the class can cooperate with me, not for the benefit of mine, but yours," Xin told them before starting her lessons.

"What do you think about Li Sensei?" Tomoyo asked as she and Sakura walked down the corridor after Xin's lesson for their lunch.

"She is a nice teacher," Sakura replied, brushing a little.

"I know that," Tomoyo smiled, "You were brushing the whole time, Sakura."

"I did not," Sakura protested.

"You did. I even videotaped it as a prove, Sakura-chan," Tomoyo replied as she took her V8 out of who-knows-where.

"You were videotaping the whole time?" Sakura asked, sweatdropped.

"Hohohoho..." Tomoyo's evil laugh made Sakura sighed helplessly. Tomoyo never changed.

"Hey, Xin!" Eriol shouted as he ran after Xin. Xin turned around and looked at Eriol as he panted for breath.

"Mind your manner, Eriol," Xin told him, "I'm your teacher. And it's nice to meet you again."

"I'm your teacher as well, Xin," Eriol reminded her, "Is this how you respect me?"

"Fine, fine," Xin replied, "Eriol Sensei."

"That's more like it," Eriol smiled, "I can't believe you became our teacher. You are only 2 years older than us."

"Come on, Eriol," Xin made a face, "I completed my university when I was what? 16? I can be your teacher for sure."

"Let's just put it aside," Eriol told her, "Where are you staying?"

"Same place as you guys," Xin replied, "My things should arrived by now. Hope Wei didn't help me to unpack."

"He will, don't worry," Eriol answered her.

"And I'm here to do Yelan-sama a favor," Before Xin could continue on, Eriol had cut in.

"Yes I know," Eriol continued for her, "It's Syaoran right?"

Sighing, Xin nodded her head and replied, "Yelan-sama had enough complains on the two of you. It's about time to give Syaoran some disciple."

"What about me?" Eriol asked.

"You didn't cause as much trouble as Syaoran did, did you?" Xin asked.

"We had our hands full with Kinomoto and Daidouji," Eriol sighed, ignoring Xin's last question, "Now, in addition you. Man. Our hands are all full. Can't you people just leave us alone?"

"Sakura Kinomoto and Tomoyo Daidouji, right?" Xin smiled as she looked at Eriol who make a face.

"Say, Eriol," Xin continued, "You do have something for Daidouji don't you?"

"What?!" Eriol shouted out loud, "Are you nuts? I hate her."

"Yeah, yeah," Xin replied half-heartedly, "As if I will believe in what you say, Eriol."

"Xin, before I really get mad, take back what you say," Eriol replied, clinching his fist tight and ready to beat Xin right in her face.

"Sure, I take back what I say about you and Daidouji," Xin giggled while Eriol clinched his fist even tighter, "Tell me something Eriol, I sense magical power within Daidouji and Kinomoto. Did you know about this?"

Eriol looked at Xin, his face was expressionless.

"So you sense it as well," Eriol replied in a very serious tone, "Yes, I know both of them have magical power within them. Magical power that is yet to be unfounded."

"Why didn't you tell us?" Xin asked.

"Because we are enemies?" Eriol replied, "I don't think I will teach my enemy magic, don't you agree?"

"Eriol..." Xin sighed in discontentment, "Fine, you wouldn't help them then I will. But for now, let's put this aside. We will chat back at house. I need to get going. Some business to catch."

"Fine, we will chat back home," Eriol replied, "I will need to do something as well."

Xin just smiled as she turned around and walked down that corridor.

'I will need to go and check on Syaoran.' Xin thought.

Sakura and Tomoyo were walking towards their usual spots for lunch when there was a dreadful cry that alerted them. This spelt trouble! Hurrying as fast as they could, Sakura and Tomoyo ran towards the source of the scream – The cherry blossom tree. From afar, they saw to their horror, Syaoran and his gang surrounding the new-comer, Alice Key.

"Please let me go," Alice pleaded, her eyes filled with tears.

"No lady," one of the gang member, Theo replied, "This will teach you a lesson not to stare at Syaoran."

"No please," Alice shivered as she leaned against the tree for support. Her legs were soft.

"I know you want me, girl," Syaoran smirked, "And I know you want me badly."

"Maybe we can make her parade the school with clown's clothes?" Joe, another member of the gang suggested.

"I suggest having her naked," John replied.

"You and your horny ideas," Jack told him.

"Why you?" John shouted.

"Why what?" Jack challenged John back.

Alice thought it was a good chance to make her slip, but unfortunately, before she could even make a move, Syaoran grabbed her roughly by her hands and pulled her into his arm. Alice struggled to free herself but was out of no use.

"Now, now," Syaoran smirked, "Don't you think you deserve a heavier punishment for trying to escape?"

"Like I always tell you, Syaoran Li," Sakura's voice sounded from behind, "Let go of her!!" Syaoran looked over to see Sakura and Tomoyo panting their breaths.

"So it's Kinomoto with Daidouji," Syaoran sighed as he let the girl off. Alice immediately ran towards them and hid behind Tomoyo, sobbing. John, Joe and Jack stopped all their actions and stared at Sakura who returned them her icy stare.

"Mind telling me, what you people was trying to do to her?" Sakura asked, in between her panting, as she walked towards Syaoran.

"Nothing," Syaoran replied, "Just trying to be her friend."

"My foot," Sakura shouted, "If I know you any better, you were trying to rape her."

"Cool it, Kinomoto," Joe told her, knowing the trouble they were getting at, "Honestly, it's John who wanted to."

Sakura stared over at John who blinked at his friend while pointing to himself in fear. He was shivering. Now he got himself the 'crime'.

"John you are going to the principal's office and have a nice tea time with him as well as the rest of the group," Sakura told them, "And as for you, Mr. Li, we will need to discuss about your punishment since the principal does not wish to see you in his office even again."

"Anything Kinomoto," Syaoran replied, making a face at her before turning away.

"Tomoyo, take Alice to the principal's office. We need her to account for what had happen. And never the least, bring our buddies along with you. They will receive punishment from the principal himself," Sakura smiled.

"Trust this on me, Sakura-chan," Tomoyo smiled, "Come on boys! Come on Alice. Don't worry. Nothing will happen to you." John, Joe and Jack made a face and followed Tomoyo quietly while Tomoyo held Alice close to her and into the school compound. After they left, Sakura sighed and turned to face Syaoran who leaned against the cherry blossom tree.

"Now, now, Li," Sakura started, "What punishment can be done on you?"

"You know most of the punishments are forbidden on me," Syaoran smiled evilly at her.

"Yes," Sakura replied with her arms across her chest, "Apparently the only punishment you are allowed to receive is detention. Which is out of no use since you are constantly escaping it or seducing the teacher-in-charges to letting you off early. ('Man she knew what I did to the female teachers.' Syaoran thought)"

Syaoran looked at her. She didn't look that scary after all, if you looked carefully at her. She had the body, the shape, silky skins, emerald eyes and that luring lips, so inviting.

'Stop thinking about kissing her, Syaoran.' Syaoran mentally slapped himself.

"What are you staring at, Li?" Sakura asked as she saw Syaoran staring at her from head to bottom. A sudden crept went up her spine. She knew something was in his mind. She admit, Syaoran was the hottest guy in the whole school, wanted by almost every girl in the school. Except her and Tomoyo that was. She didn't know why, but she hated him into her bones. Even since elementary school. But to be really honest, he was clever and brilliant. Any girls would want to be in her shoes right now. To be alone with Syaoran Li.

"I don't think any punishment can make a different in my rule-breaking life, right?" Syaoran asked as he walked over to her and stopped in front of her.

"Yes," Sakura replied, shaking her head slightly, "Since I ever know you and ever since I become a rule-maker, you never change."

Syaoran smiled as he lifted Sakura's head to meet her emerald eyes with his ember eyes. A sudden urge to kiss her was building in him. Sakura was paralyzed by Syaoran's action. She didn't know what had got into her. She didn't resist him as all. Instead, she felt herself getting a little hotter by the minute. What was wrong with you, Sakura? Get a grip will you? He's the enemy!! Sakura could feel Syaoran wrapping his arm around her waist and pulling her closer to him. His face was just inches away from hers...

"No!" The word just busted out of her mouth, as Sakura pulled herself away from Syaoran who looked at her in shock. Sakura backed away from him, shivering a little and blushing madly. She almost let him kissed her!

"You are receiving extended detention," Sakura told him as she turned to run off, leaving Syaoran in his spot. Until the bell snapped him awake.

"What was I thinking?" Syaoran asked, "I tried to kiss her. I tried to kiss my arch-enemy. Sakura Kinomoto. What was that feeling?"

From far, Xin was hiding behind the tree. She was looking at the whole event happening in front of her eyes.

"Sakura Kinomoto desuka?" Xin whispered Sakura's name and smiled.

Tomoyo was walking back to the class as the bell rang. She wondered if Sakura was alright with Syaoran. She was worried, knowing how good Syaoran was at seducing.

"I wonder if Sakura is alright," Tomoyo whispered.

"Why do you think Sakura will not be alright, my dear Daidouji?" Eriol's voice sounded from behind.

"What is it, Hiiragizawa?" Tomoyo asked, turning to face him.

"I was just curious," Eriol smiled.

"Stay out of this," Tomoyo told him as she turned to leave. Eriol sighed as he grabbed her by her wrist and pushed her against the wall.

"What? What are you doing?" Tomoyo asked, her eyes widened in fear.

Eriol answered her question as he kissed her roughly by the lips. Tomoyo tried to push him away from her but was out of no use. Eriol deepened the kiss, ignoring how unwilling she was for him to kiss her. He didn't care about the rules for now. He just simply wanted a sweet kiss from her. That's all. Finally pulling away from her, Eriol looked at her as she panted for breath.

"Get away from me, Hiiragizawa," Tomoyo stated while panting for breath, "Before I extend your punishment."

Eriol took a step away from her and looked at her. She was staring down at the floor.

"Daidouji..." Eriol called out.

"Don't call me," Tomoyo shouted, silencing him, "Let's get back to class. Act as if nothing happen alright?"

"Sure, whatever," Eriol replied as he watched Tomoyo ran down the corridor and up the stairs to the classroom.

'Maybe, Xin is right. I'm in love with Tomoyo.' Eriol sighed as he walked slowly back to class for the lesson.
