Who's the Better Matchmaker
Chapter 2
Fagtron: Hello! Did ya miss me? Huh, huh, huh, huh?
Sorceress Myst: Silence! Finally the long awaited chapter 2 has come. It would have been posted sooner if SOMEBODY wasn't messing around on my computer. (glares at Fagtron)
Fagtron: I was writing a review for your story.
Sorceress Myst: 'Hi mom' doesn't count. Besides your mom is a blender and can't read.
Fagtron: She's hooked on phonics.
Sorceress Myst: Whatever. (Presses the play button on tape recorder)
Tape Recorder: (In Fagtron's voice) I do not own CCS or any of the characters except Xylona. Really! (Sorceress Myst quickly stops the recorder)
Fagtron: Hey! It stole my voice!
Sorceress Myst: (rolls eyes) On with the story.
"Master, what is she doing here?" asked Ruby, glaring at Xylona.
"Xylona and I are negotiating our recent bet" Eriol answered calmly. Suppi sighed with relief as the blossoming cat fight broke away, he still had scratches from the last one between Ruby and Xylona.
"Fine, I am going to the movies!" shouted Ruby as she stormed out the door, followed by Suppi. Eriol just shrugged and led Xylona to a candle-lit room. There were two black velvet chairs facing each other with a coffee table separating them. Xylona loved this room because it had spell books and paintings of dragons. Eriol sat down in one of the chairs and motioned Xylona to do the same.
"Would you like some tea?"
"No thank you, I'd rather get down to business."
"The impatient type eh?", Eriol chuckled.
"Yes," said Xylona standing up, "I want to prove once and for all that I am the best matchmaker…EVER! AHAHAHAH!!"
Eriol cocked an eyebrow at her, "You should really consider switching to decaf."
"You are probably right." She sat down and acted as if nothing happened.
"Well we agreed earlier on how this is to be carried out, now we finish it by signing our names on the finished copy." Eriol gave the paper to her. She read through it to make sure he didn't change anything. Satisfied, Xylona signed her name under his.
"Okay we start tomorrow and may the best sorceress-"
"-or sorcerer…"
"Win." Eriol and Xylona finished together.
"Hiiragizawa Eriol, you will be paired with…" the teacher scrolled down the list, "…Pendragon Xylona."
Xylona cringed, this would completely ruin her plan, "Time to go to plan B" she muttered before she looked at Eriol, who had a calm face,
"Kinomoto Sakura will be paired with…", Xylona snapped her attention to the front of the classroom, "Li Syaoran." Xylona didn't bother to look behind her, she knew they were both beet red.
"Your projects will be due on Friday." The teacher said as the bell rang.
Everyone filed out of the classroom, Sakura and Tomoyo were one of the firsts to get out.
"I can't believe we are not partner for once." Complained Tomoyo.
"Yeah, so what are you and Naoko going to do for your science project?" Sakura asked her best friend.
"I don't know. Where is everyone?" As if on cue Syaoran, Eriol and Xylona came out of the classroom.
"Sakura, Xylona and I are going to the mall to get some supplies. Do you and Syaoran want to come?"
"Okay, is that alright with you Syaoran?"
"Sure." Syaoran answered. Xylona was surprised they didn't blush. (AN: I'm kinda surprised too)
Naoko suddenly ran down the hallway and began dragging Tomoyo. "Come on Tomoyo, we got to do our project!"
"Good-bye everyone" Tomoyo managed to say as she was dragged around the corner.
"So shall we get going?" asked Xylona.
Sakura and Syaoran already had their supplies and are just know purchasing them. Through out the whole time Eriol had an evil glint in his eye.
"So Eriol what are we going to do for our project?" asked Xylona.
"Look up there." He answered pointing to the second level. That only made her confused. Then he whispered in her ear, "Help me out a little."
"Ooh the electronics section lets go check it out!" Xylona shouted as she and Eriol ran to the elevator.
"We'll meet you up there Sakura!" shouted Eriol as the elevator door closed.
"They seemed like they were in a hurry." Commented Sakura as they got on the elevator.
And it seems they forgotten that the electronics section was next door thought Syaoran as the doors closed.
Meanwhile on the second floor, Eriol and Xylona watched Sakura and Syaoran get on the elevator.
"What now Hiiragizawa?"
"Just watch the master." He said as he put his hand on the buttons. They began glowing red and then the elevator stopped.
"Your good." Complemented Xylona.
"Syaoran I'm scared" said Sakura. She was hugging him tightly.
"Don't worry someone will fix the elevator soon." Syaoran reassured her, hugging her back. It was dark in the elevator, Sakura was whimpering softly.
"I'll protect you." Syaoran began blushing when he realized he said that.
"Thank you" Sakura whispered. Syaoran could no longer resist and brought his face closer to hers. All of a sudden the elevator jolted and the lights came back on. They blushed and jumped apart as they finally reached the second floor.
"Are you guys all right?" asked Xylona as the door opened.
"Y-yeah," stuttered Sakura, still blushing.
Xylona walked over to Eriol and whispered, "Looks like it didn't work. Now its my turn."
Sorceress Myst: Eriol didn't succeed but he still in the game. Will Xylona win or does Eriol have another plan up his sleeve? Find out in the next chapter.
Fagtron: Can I say hi to my mom now?
Sorceress Myst: (sigh) Oh alright.
Fagtron: Hi mom!
