No reviews for chapter eight. I was supposed to update yesterday, but I was busy getting my school schedule. Gomen for those who cares. Please read and review.
When they reached the portrait, Xian Long was standing there, smiling. Kokoro looked away, not daring to look at him. Eriol was glaring at Xian Long, Syaoran was smiling, so were Sakura and Tomoyo. The professors were happy to see Xian Long. When Xian Long laid his eyes on Kokoro, he smiled.
"Mizu-sama," Xian Long's voice was soft and deep. Kokoro smiled wryly at him before turning away.
Inside the shadow the three students were confused. "Mizu?" a boy whispered. The other two just shrugged. They heard Kokoro sighed before turning to the portrait.
"Xian Long-san," Kokoro said, "it's a long time, ne?"
"Hai," Xian Long replied. "I missed you, and you too, Xiao Lang. I know, you've never seen me, but I have."
"You're in the family portrait!" Syaoran exclaimed. Xian Long nodded.
"I watched over you from that portrait," Xian Long said. He smiled and asked them: "What do you guys need?" Kokoro sighed and turned away again.
"I want to know about the black door," Kokoro spoke up after a few moments of silence.
"What shall come, will come, dear ancestor," Xian Long said. Kokoro nodded before leaving.
"I'm going to be at the library now," Kokoro said, leaving.
"Clow-sama," Xian Long said, "how are you?" Eriol just kept on glaring at Xian Long. Xian Long sighed as Eriol left. Tomoyo ran after Eriol. The rest of the day, Sakura and Syaoran spent talking their time talking to Xian Long while the others left to their classroom to plan for the next day. The three in the shadow was long gone when Kokoro has left.
"Don't you think it's weird?" Hermione asked as they walked to their common room.
"What's weird?" Harry asked.
"In Japan," Hermione said, "if you have 'sama' after your name, that's mean they respect you or you're older than them. But it's even weirder when that Xian Long guy called Kokoro 'Mizu-sama,' not 'Kokoro-sama.'" The three were in thought, not realizing that a certain blonde hair Slytherin was listening. He instantly ran to Severus Snape to report what he just heard.
When the three entered the common room, Sakura and Syaoran were talking in Japanese. They immediately stopped when the three sat down. "Ne, Syao-kun," Sakura said, "what's the use of Magnolia's Poison?"
"Magnolia's Poison," Syaoran said, closing his eyes, "can be used three different ways if used correctly. The first way is to put the victim to sleep. Only one drop in red wine will put the victim to sleep for ten hours. The second way is to kill the victim. Replace the red wine with Magnolia's Poison, will kill the victim in less than two minutes. The third and last way is making the victim tell the truth non-stop. Two drops in any food, the victim will instantly tell all the truth you need to know. There's also side affects to it. Instead of the victim going to sleep, the culprit will be in a coma. The scent to the Magnolia's Poison can kill you if you smell it. Also, you will tell the truth when you touch the liquid. The only cure to this poison is the Magnolia flower itself." Sakura nodded and wrote what Syaoran told her on the parchment. "But you need to go into details, to make it five foot long."
"I know," Sakura said.
"How did you know all about this, Li?" Ron asked, looking up from his book.
"I came across it when I was in Hong Kong," Syaoran replied, working on his essay.
In the Ravenclaw common room, Eriol and Tomoyo were working on their essay for Potions, too. They were done and Eriol was watching Kokoro doing her homework. Kokoro was writing until she stopped. She took off her glasses and rubbed her eyes. She let out a sigh and continued with her essay for Herbology. "This got to be long enough," Kokoro muttered as she started on her homework for Potions. "Great, Magnolia's Poison, again." Kokoro started to write, and in five minutes she was done. "Oyasumi, Onii-chan." Kokoro smirked before going into the girls' dormitories.
Eriol pulled out his DADA homework and worked on it. He took off his glasses and rests his eyes. He sighed before he put on his glasses and went back to work. Tomoyo was studying Eriol's every movement, since she was done with her homework.
In the Gryffindor common room, Syaoran, Sakura, Hermione, Ron, and Harry were having trouble with the Herbology essay. "Why do plants burn easily?" Hermione asked as she skimmed through a book.
"Where's Kokoro when you need her?" Syaoran asked, knowing that Kokoro finished with her easy. He sighed before he concentrated on someone's bag. "Got it! Plants burn easily because of the burning bush!"
"Burning what?" Ron asked.
"Burning bush is a bush that has fire in its leaves," Syaoran said, reading Kokoro's paper. "Burning bush is like a fire, when a plant touches it, it will turn into fire and burn the plant. That's why burning bush is hard to find. Now all we have to do is find information on the burning bush!" Hermione was skimming backwards.
"Got it!" Hermione shouted as she pointed to a section of a page. They began to do their homework. In Syaoran's mind, Syaoran was thanking Kokoro.
/Welcome my cute descendant/, came Kokoro's voice in Syaoran's head. Syaoran shook his head before he went to sleep.
Short, but at least I updated. And no body care. Heh…anyways…the Magnolia's Poison stuff I made it up, and the burning bush thing I made it up. Search for Burning bush, and there's such thing! Ehehe…anyways…please review!
