Disclaimer: Argh, I forgot to ask what anyone thinks Ashura's last name should be…well, now what do you think? Because I have no idea.

Chapter 2: Extra Help

Syaoran reported directly after school to Flowright-san's classroom right after school to apologize and get extra help from his science teacher.

When he opened the door, he wasn't surprised to find his teacher sitting behind his desk and looking like he was expecting Syaoran to be there with a smile on his face.

"Ah, gomen nasai Flowright-san," Syaoran said bowing.

"It's okay, I should be sorry for embarrassing you."

"No, that was good. I was able to pay close attention after that," Syaoran assured him.

His teacher smiled again and then said, "Well now, shall we get started then?"

"Yes sir," Syaoran said, taking his usual seat next to his teacher.

As he began to explain the definitions and concepts he had covered in class, Syaoran couldn't help but notice a faint rumbling in one of his teacher's desk drawers.

After an hour of this, Syaoran popped the question, "Flowright-san what's that in your desk drawer?" He pointed to the drawer that was rattling the most.

Fye stared at it for a moment and then said, "Oh! Those are my robots," He said opening the drawer. "You guys have to keep quiet okay?"

Syaoran stared with wide eyes at the two robots. They were black and white and looked like…manjuu buns. They were small and round in shape with long feet, long ears pointed downwards, and very short arms. They also had a red spot, on the white robot, and a blue spot on the black one in the middle of their heads.

"Wow, did you—did you make these?" Syaoran asked astonished.

Fye smiled at him and said, "Yes I did. The black one's name is Soel, and the white one is Larg. Aren't they cute? I call them my 'Mokonas'!" He picked them up and out of their drawer and hugged them tightly. Then he sat them on the table for Syaoran to see.

"The blue and red spots are their energy source. Now, watch,"

Syaoran watched as Soel and Larg walked around on the desk, looking around at everything. When they looked back at his teacher, they sprang up, grabbed his face, and started nuzzling it.

"Fye!" They said in unison.

Fye laughed a little, "They have free will." Fye explained to Syaoran. "Guys look, this is Syaoran-kun!"

The two 'Mokonas' hopped off of Fye's face and surveyed Syaoran with interest. Syaoran stared back not knowing if he should do anything or not. He compensated for a long silence that followed between them.

"Syaoran!" They said springing up and grabbing Syaoran's face.

Syaoran who was so surprised nearly fell backward in his chair. When they finally got off of him, he was still amazed. Had Flowright-san built them all by himself?

"Sorry, they're usually more talkative than this." Fye said, feeling like he should apologize for their behavior.

Syaoran started asking, "They're so soft and light, did you make them—"

Before Fye cut him off with, "By myself? Yes I did."

"That's amazing Flowright-san!" Syaoran said excitedly. He definitely wanted to know more about their structure and how he gave them free will, but just then…

"Fye, someone is coming!" Soel said jumping up and down on the desk.

Fye's face suddenly looked about half-happy, half-upset. He asked, "Who is it?" In a monotone voice to Soel.

"I think it's Kurogane! But there's someone else coming too!" Soel said cheerfully, "I think it's Ashura, the principal!" He concluded still jumping up and down.

Fye looked surprised, "Oh, well then," He stood up and started closing his textbooks and said, "I think we'll leave it here for today Syaoran-kun," He wasn't even looking at Syaoran.

Syaoran stared at him for a moment, but then said, "Okay then," And he began to pack up his books.

"Can I ask you a favor Syaoran-kun?" Fye asked, still not looking at Syaoran, but at the Mokonas that he currently had in his hands.

"Yes,"

Fye extended the Mokonas to Syaoran and asked, "Could you take them home with you?"

"Huh? Oh, yes, yes of course!" Syaoran took them and placed them both in his bag.

"Now you two be nice to Syaoran-kun, all right?" Fye told them finally placing his usual smile onto his lips.

"Yes Fye!" They said in unison.

"Take care now," Fye said, as Syaoran was leaving out the door.

Syaoran waved and departed. As soon as he left the doorway however, he smacked right into someone who was coming in. He fell against the door to the classroom he had just closed.

A strong hand picked him up off the ground and brought him up to eye level. It was the gym teacher, Kurogane-san. He never really told them his last name; he just said 'Kurogane' was fine, so the students abided by that.

"What are you doing here?" Kurogane-san asked Syaoran somewhat menacingly.

"I was—"

"Kurogane-san! Please put Kinomoto-san down," Called a voice.

Syaoran looked down the hallways to his right and saw his principal, Ashura-sama, walking down the hallway towards them.

Kurogane looked highly annoyed by this man's presence, but he dropped Syaoran all the same. Syaoran stood up and recovered from the shock that Kurogane-san had sent him. He sighed as Kurogane-san let himself in Flowright-san's room and soon came face to face with his principal.

"Just what were you doing in Fye's room?"

Fye? He definitely had just called his teacher by his first name, but why? Were the rumors about them true?

"Err…sir!" Syaoran bowed in his principal's presence and said, "I was just receiving some extra help in class from him, that's all." Syaoran didn't lift his gaze from the floor. His father had told him to treat people like his principal with utmost respect.

"Hmm," Ashura pondered not knowing what to think. It was bad enough Kurogane made advances towards Fye any chance he got…and speaking of which, he was in the room with him right this very moment! "Right!" He went on hurriedly to the boy, "That's all very well, you may go!"

Syaoran made to walk away as Ashura-sama pulled open the lab room door.

He halted in his tracks when he heard Ashura-sama yelling, "Just what the hell do you think you're doing!"

Syaoran heard just enough to hear Kurogane-san saying menacingly, "I'm asking him a question, is that against school rules or are you just being too overprotective?"

Ashura-sama slammed the door shut after that and Syaoran took off running down the hallway towards the exit.

He had no idea what was going on, but he knew he had either get out of the way very fast or suffer the consequences to being in the middle of what sounded like the beginning of a very heated argument.

"I'm not being overprotective, I'm just asking you a question," Ashura said after he had slammed the lab room door. He didn't notice that from the force of the impact, a little crack was visible after the door had rebounded.

Kurogane smiled to himself wolfishly, "You were yelling at me, clearly you want to start an argument,"

Fye, standing behind his desk surveying the scene, saw Ashura's lips tighten as he searched his head for something to say. Fye not wanting a huge argument starting between them, he cut in.

"Maybe we should all just go home." He said picking up his bag off the floor. It didn't matter if he forgot something just as long as these two got out of the same room.

Ashura turned, faced his lover, and yelled, "Fye shut up! This doesn't concern you!"

Fye's eyes narrowed at the fact that Ashura, his own lover, would talk to him in such a way. He may be mad at Kurogane for something, but that was no reason to take it out on Fye.

Kurogane looked extremely angry now. And he felt angry too. How could this idiot be considered a good match for Fye? He was aggressive and self-serving. It was a wonder that Fye even stuck with him for even two days.

"That's funny," He said to Ashura and glaring in his direction, "I think it does."

Fye looked from one man to the other. They seemed to be having a stare down. An awkward silence passed between them. Ashura glared at Kurogane, and Kurogane glared at him right back. Fye could even see the electric rays pulsating through their gazes towards each other.

"Fine," Fye said breaking the awkward silence, "I'm going home." He strode passed the two of them. He was a little happy to see that they were shocked that the center of their argument was leaving them so quickly.

Sakura didn't know what to think. After cheerleading club had broken up, she had gone the roof top because she had felt dizzy. When she came back downstairs, she was surprised to see Syaoran running away from the science classroom and hearing someone yelling.

"Oh!" She said, scrunching up her eyes against the loud voice coming out the doorway.

"Just what the hell do you think you're doing to Fye!" Said the loud voice.

"Nothing! I'm asking him a question!" Came a loud grunt from inside the room. After this remark, the door had been slammed forcefully.

She knew she shouldn't, but curiosity getting the better of her. She made her way silently to the door, which was ajar from the rebound of the force that struck the door.

She peered into the crack and saw her science teacher, the boy's gym teacher, and her principal all standing in the room. She was shocked to find Kurogane-san and Ashura-sama glaring at each other as if they wanted to kill each other. And poor Flowright-san behind his desk looking extremely upset and fearful.

Gathering the look in their facial expressions, she gathered that the fight was about Flowright-san. Wondering what could make the two other men want to fight about Flowright-san, she listened further.

She didn't get much out of what they were saying, but it confirmed her first suspicion; that the fight was about Flowright-san. She felt extremely bad for Flowright-san when Ashura-sama had told him to shut up so menacingly. No one should be treated like that.

"Where are you going?" Ashura-sama asked after Flowright-sama had proposed his leave.

"He said he was going home, where do you think he's going?" Kurogane-san asked angrily.

Sakura saw Ashura-sama glaring in Kurogane-san's direction, but didn't say anything. She then heard footsteps coming towards the door. Sakura stiffened. This must be the moment where Flowright-san made his grand exit.

She turned around and made her way to go hide behind a wall close by, but she stopped in her tracks as Ashura-sama said, "Wait!"

Sakura stiffened and turned, sure she was getting caught for spying, but when she turned around fully, she saw that the door wasn't pulled open, so she figured Ashura-sama must have been talking to Flowright-san. She went back to the door and listened further.

"You're my lover, are you going to let this idiot get the better of you?" Ashura-sama was saying.

Sakura gasped loudly and covered her mouth hastily. Oh why had she let that slip out now? She figured that anyone would with shocking news like that, but it was still bad to do things like that now.

There was a silence in the room and Sakura clutched to her mouth tightly.

"I'm not letting Kurogane-san get the better of me!" Flowright-san said to end the silence.

Sakura let out a small sigh of relief, but frowned at the tone in Flowright-san's voice. It was pleasant and cheerful...but why?

"It would be unpleasant if I had to sit here and listen to you arguing." Flowright-san went on, still in that overly cheerful voice. It was sad for Sakura to listen to. It was as if Flowright-san knew what he would be getting into if he stayed, wished it wouldn't happen, but also didn't want to leave even though he had to.

"Hey! Sakura! I've been looking all over here for you! What are you doing by that door?" Called a voice down the hallway.

Sakura's heart stopped. She turned to her left to see her brother Touya down the hallway. Great time for Dad to tell him to go pick Sakura up now. And why couldn't he have been discreet about it. But there was no time to be thinking about that now. All of a sudden he heart rate when right up. She felt the heat rising in her cheeks and the dizziness in her head as she stood up quickly.

She tore down the hallway and Touya followed her just barely keeping up. She didn't slow down until she was out of the building and five blocks away from the school.

"And just…what…the hell…was that about?" Touya panted as soon as he caught up to his sister.

Ah, TBC, sorry to cut off right there, but there you have the second chapter. And by the way, nothing will develop between Sakura and Syaoran as their blockade against their relationship YET. I'm sorry not many could see that in the first chapter.
