Hi guys!
I'm back with another chapter of Not that Kinda Girl! Thanks for the reviews I got last time!
Hopefully you guys will like this chapter cause I spend a lot of time working on it. I've been trying to decide how I'll bring in the romance between Tomoyo and Eriol. If you guys have any ideas just tell me by e-mail or review!
Oh! And you may be wondering why Sakura is wearing school clothes and not Syaoran! Well this is because this is his first day of school! Of course he's not in his uniform yet! If you don't understand that…well neither do I and I'm the AUTHOR!!
Now…ON WITH THE STORY!!!
Disclaimer: Rozie sneaks behind a chair as she watches Santa putting presents in her stocking. She jumps out and pulls him around to face her with her weapon…a spoon…yes…a spoon…
"Now Santa…I'm warning you…I'm never going to give you any more of my home made cookies or milk unless you let me own Cardcaptors for Christmas!" Knowing that she's won, she looks at him wickedly, only to have to wicked look returned. "That's it elves!" He screams…taking out a walkie talkie from his underpants and screams into it. "SEND IN THE BACKUPS!! This girl is nuts!!!" Rozie stares wide eyed as a rope appears from the chimney and Santa gets pulled up and out of her chimney. Rozie turns around to see 100's of elves in black clothing like thieves, smiling wickedly at her with feathers in their hands. Rozie screams as they jump on her and tickle her senseless.
We hear Rozie's last words, which are: "I s'posse I don't own Cardcaptors then? There's always next year for me to have my revenge! Yes! You guessed it! Teddy bears!" And she takes her last breath and sighs.
Chapter 2 – In which a message from a diary becomes soo real, it's scary!
Ok…so the last 20 minutes has been a bit of a blur. I managed to convince my form room teacher that I had lice in my hair and I needed her to pick every bit of the tiny little suckers out! That was so funny. I'm so glad I had some of my brothers' year old gel bottle in my locker. Don't ask why I had it in there cause I can't answer that either, but it sure came in handy when the little blobs came out, looking just like bugs! The teacher believed every word I said, but soon started to get suspicious when I fell to the ground outside the staff room, pretending to faint and she suddenly noticed that her hands smelt like her shampoo at home…this was the time when I knew I had to speed out of there in a flash.
So I told her I had constipation problems and had to duck off to the loo. She looked at me weirdly, which I don't blame her, and closed the staff room door in my place, mumbling to me that she had a headache and to tell the rest of my form group that she had to sit down for a little while...
Ha…I'm going to remember that for years! Anyway…I went to find Syaoran in sick bay, but instead found a bandaged headed Reagan, reading a Barbie magazine while lying down. I decided that I wouldn't be mean and tease him for it, he'd been through enough already in one morning, and I'd go find Syaoran.
Which brings me to where I am now…running through the halls of my school, towards my classroom. I was starting to get a little puffed and I could feel my cheeks redden, so I stopped for 2 seconds, before speeding up again to my locker. Of course I still had that odd diary in my hand. Which made me remember that stupid Reagan!
Imagine wanting me to kiss him…or another one of those stupid hormonal teenagers in the room! What a cow! Oh well…If I could be friends with Syaoran, I can convince him to help me PAY REAGAN BACK!! HA…ha! I'm way too evil for my own good sometimes.
I was knocked out of my thoughts when I realised that I had crashed into the door of my form room. Yes…I really can be quite a klutz sometimes…Don't ask…there are many stories where that came from…shiver goes down spine
Knocking on the door, I walk inside to find members of my class chucking paper aeroplanes around the classroom, pashing the opposite sex…you name it…they were doing it…
I spotted Tomoyo and ran up to her.
"Hey Tomoyo!" How you been man? The last time I saw you was when I nearly got run over by Syaoran!
She looked over at me in shock, and quickly ran up to me and hugged me. Gosh Tomoyo! I can't breathe!!
"Sakura!" she smiled at me in delight. Or was that a smirk??
"Where have you been? The last time I saw you, you were nearly getting run over by Syaoran," she asked me, letting go of me to smooth the many wrinkles she had created on my dress. Darn her! Wrecking my school dress…There is such thing as an iron, I know…but…I'll let Touya do it for me!
I told her everything that had happened and she sat down in her chair.
"Ok…" she replied. Nice answer…I couldn't do any better if I was in that situation!
"Don't worry! I'm ok now." I smiled, sitting down next to her.
I turned to my right and noticed a spare desk beside mine. I looked up to see everyone sitting down so this was the only one left empty in the classroom…which meant-
Our principal, Mr Gadigal opened the door and there was suddenly complete silence. He walked over to the teacher's desk and sat down, with Syaoran falling him in and standing at the front of the classroom.
Oh my…oh yeah! Syaoran is in my class, which means that he has to sit next to me! Gosh…I am so forgetful sometimes…
Reaching for the diary that I had just noticed was still clasped tightly in my hands, I brought it up to place it on my desk.
I started to stare at Syaoran's face when he suddenly locked eyes with me and gave me a glare. Gosh…this guy looks really moody.
Mr Gadigal looked at each of us in the classroom, bringing on gulps and sticky hands from most. This lasted for about five minutes before someone coughed and broke Mr Gadigal out from his, or what I think, EVIL GLARE.
"Ok," he told us sharply. "Welcome to the new year students. I hope you all had a wonderful holiday. Now, moving on to more important matters." That guy could only last on one subject for two seconds, trust me.
Mr Gadigal continued. "With me I have a new student. His name is Syaoran Li. Make him welcome please." We all clapped in reply, me ignoring Syaoran's cold glare to smile brightly at him. He hmphed in return and looked away.
Mr Gadigal smiled and stood up and walked to the door.
"Your form teacher won't be here to meet you on your first day, so I'll have to ask you to head off to your first class. Any question?" He asked us, turning around to face the class.
One of Reagan's friends raised his hands. Grubby little git. He had strawberry blond hair and absolutely no sense of fashion! Come on! He was wearing overalls and a pink t shirt!
"Sir, what happened to our form teacher?" he asked Mr Gadigal.
Mr Gadigal blushed and turned away.
"Let's just say that she's got a bad migraine." He he he…smirking I winked at Syaoran, whose lips twitched in return. Great…now I HAVE to teach him to SMILE…this is going to take a while…
The bell rang and Mr Gadigal left the room. I stood up and smiled at Tomoyo. Her hair was up in two french braids, it looked really nice!
"Come on. Let's go." I told her, pulling her hand to the door, while holding my diary in the other.
She nodded in reply and followed me out the door, separating from me to get to her locker. I reached my locker and noticed Syaoran heading towards his locker next to mine. Time to be nice Sakura.
"Hi Syaoran," I said brightly, opening my locker and putting the diary inside my bag.
I looked over at him and noticed that he was ignoring me. Why that little bastard!!
"Syaoran…" I poked him in the belly…no reaction. Ok…something was wrong with this guy. What's got him so uptight all of a sudden?
"What?" He replied bluntly, looking over at me with a look that said, 'don't push it girl. I'm not in the mood.' What mood? Oh well…
"Whatever…" I answered, going back to my locker to take out my pencil case and folder. I noticed the diary shining brightly at me from where I had put it. I'll take that too.
Grabbing the diary and slamming my locker shut in front of Syaoran, I walked over to my class, meeting Tomoyo at the door.
"Something's wrong with Syaoran." I told her, nudging her softly.
"I know. He's been quite odd since he helped you out this morning. I heard it from some witnesses of what happened outside the form room," she replied calmly, nudging me back, making us both giggle softly. I don't why we did but it must be something to do with being a girl…
I nodded and walked into our next class, music, and sat down in the piano stool in front of the piano.
Everyone else found there seats and there was no teacher in sight. Oh well…time for me to have some fun! I placed my diary and books on the side of the piano and turned to Tomoyo.
"I'm making a song called 'Not that Kinda Girl'. Want to listen to the start?" I asked her, smiling broadly.
"Of course Sakura," she replied, shifting closer to me.
I smiled back at her and didn't spot the chestnut haired guy sit down in a chair, looking at me weirdly.
"Ok…This is a smooth blues song so I hope you like it…" I mumbled, deep in concentration.
'All the times that we've spent together.
I won't fuss, I will find. Tryn'a make you mine.
You know I'm not that kind.
I said I've loved you to the 12th of never.
But I won't rush, for a hand.
Leavin' you behind.
You know I'm not that kind.'
Looking up from the keys, I noticed that everyone in my class was staring at me, even Syaoran. When did he show up?
Suddenly there was a burst of applause and cheering and I couldn't help but blush like a maniac.
Tomoyo tapped me on the shoulder and I turned around.
"Oh my gosh! That was great Sakura! I can't wait to hear what the chorus will sound like!" Tomoyo cried and hugged me. Well…I could really get used to this!
Grinning, I look around my class and find smiles from everyone! YAY! I have pure and natural talent. Now all I have to do is come up with the rest of the song…that could take some time…
Someone taps my shoulder and I look up to see Syaoran looking down at me, with an angry look on his face. Boy, what's up his butt all of a sudden?
"What's the matter Syaoran?" I say, getting up from the piano to go to my seat. He follows me and sits down next to me.
"Listen…" he says softly, bringing his face close to mine. "Your diary is glowing, hide it, girl."
Looking down at my diary I see that he's right. It is glowing, and shaking in my hand too. What the…
"Go check it out in a private place. I'll save you a seat." He says calmly, waving a surprised Tomoyo over to sit next to him.
Nodding, I say to Tomoyo that I need to go to the loo, and rush out the door.
Running down the halls I enter the toilet and let my self into a cubicle, locking the door behind me. Time to see what the heck is happening here…
I open up the shaking diary and flip the page from the last message to reveal a new one, only longer. How the heck did someone grab my diary and write in it? There are many questions that need to be answered!
Clearing my thoughts, I read the note.
Dear Sakura,
You may be wondering who we are but you will soon find out. If you want to meet us and see the task that has been laid ahead for you, come to the back of the school in the gardens straight after school.
Think wisely about this choice Sakura. If you do not come, there will be other ways that we will make sure you do. All will be explained in time.
See you soon Sakura Kinomoto. Bring your fighting skills with you.
Some friends.
OKAY! Now I am getting totally freaked out! What…I know I'm a black belt in taekwondo and all, but why do I have to use all those techniques now? And who the heck are these friends? Is someone stalking me or is it just me?
Well…there's only one way to find out! I'm an adventurous person and I can fight for myself so…I'm going! If this is Reagan…he's going to find himself with a broken nose. I know I didn't bash him last time…but I was just too freaked out!
Time to get back to class.
"Bye Tomoyo! See you tomorrow." I wave at Tomoyo and went as she became just a distant figure in the horizon. I run for the back of the school, holding the diary close in my hands and carrying my backpack behind me.
Seeing the back of the school I slow down and stop, noticing that something isn't right. Wait…since when was there a beautiful garden with a waterfall behind my school?
Walking closer I sense that I'm not alone. Wait, is that Syaoran I see? What is he doing here?
Clutching the diary in my hands, I walk closer and stare into the angry face of Syaoran. Reaching close enough to him, I see a purple bush behind him and I stop. Since when did we have purple bushes in my school? Ok…something really strange is going on here.
Syaoran looks over me and nods.
"You didn't bring anyone?" he asks me calmly, still with that angry look in his eyes. No, what do you think Syaoran? I'd bring the circus with me or something? You are very dim boy…very dim…
He looks into my eyes and I find myself gulping involuntarily. There's something about this guy that makes me shiver…but what?
"Ok…" he says, walking over to an enormous oak tree and placing his hand on the trunk. It's time for this guy to answer some questions.
"Since when were there plants like this in our school, Syaoran? And what are we doing here?" I ask him impatiently.
He puts his hand up, motioning me into silence and for me to come closer to where he is. Since when can he do so many things with one hand? Very talented…
I do as he asks and walk over to he is. Suddenly he grabs my hand and places it on top of his on the tree trunk. Looking in wonder, I wait to see what happens.
He looks silently over at me and I notice that you can read tension all over his forehead.
"We're going Sakura. You ready to find out what future lies ahead for you?"
Who does he think I am? I didn't come here for nothing! I nod in reply. I suddenly feel a tingling in my head, as if someone is sorting through all the junk in there that I haven't looked at for years. Hey! Some of that stuff is personal!
I look over at Syaoran and he gives me a look that says, 'Don't say anything. I'll explain everything later.' I do as he says and try to ignore an invisible hand searching through my mind. Closing my eyes, I try to feel comfortable with this thing touching my mind.
My first ride on a tricycle and I fell over…the day that mum died…dad's face full of sadness…me in complete shock…running over to my dad and crying in his arms…standing in front of my mother's grave, giving Touya some flowers to place on her grave…my first day of school…meeting Tomoyo…becoming best friends…going through school together…guys drooling over us…me praying in bed…wondering where my mum is right now…
Sakura…a voice says in my head, in a peaceful tone, leaving me to listen calmly. Welcome…you may come with Prince Syaoran now and find out what happened to your mother…Come Sakura…your help is needed desperately…Come…
My mother…wait…where's my mother???
I open my eyes to see Syaoran looking at me again. He nods.
"Is it over?" I ask.
"Yes." He replies, squeezing my hand tightly between his.
"Ok. I'm going to do something now that you don't usually see in this world. The Tree Spirit has allowed us entrance to my world. Step back from the tree."
He lets me go and I look at him again. Something is different though. He's wearing something different! I look him over. He's wearing a green tunic with dark green pants and soft leather boots. His hair has been swept back from his face, a bit better then at school, and he's got a sword in his hand. Wait…Sakura…go back to his face…Syaoran has pixie ears! They're pointy! Dear god! They look so cute! I just wanna reach out and touch them…but then I remember that we're in a serious situation. Stupid Sakura.
He notices that I'm staring at him and smirks.
"You don't look that bad yourself Sakura." He points at me.
What is he-
I look down at myself and my eyes brighten. I'm wearing a beautifully made pink dress made of satin and shiny bits all over it! It looks so great. I've got two straps on my shoulders and a velvet, dark pink shawl over the straps. My shoes are one I've never seen before. They're pink and shine in the light. Slightly high but I could run in them if I wanted to. My hair has also been put into a bun on the top of my head, with some sort of clip holding it all up. This is so cool! I scream in delight and run to Syaoran, hugging him tightly. He pats me awkwardly on the back. Obviously haven't done this much have you Syaoran?
I step back and smile one of my beautiful smiles at him, making him smirk. That was a weird response…you'd sort of expect him to blush, but not Syaoran…
"Ok…where were we?" he asks me. Obviously I've delayed him for a few minutes but who cares!!!!
I smile and let him continue.
He holds his sword in a fighting position and I step further away. A light glows around him and I look in wonder. He doesn't look scared so this must be what's supposed to happen.
He raises his sword and shouts, "I am Prince Syaoran Li! Obey me and let my companion and myself through this passage! Do as I command!" He swung his sword and sliced an L sign on the trunk of the tree. The L glowed and Syaoran smiled. What's he smiling about? And what was with the prince thing?
He reaches out his hand for me to take and I grab his hand, coming to stand next to him.
"Come Princess Sakura. It's time you found out why you are here."
A light glowed and I felt myself zoom away from my own world. I'd go back there sometime wouldn't I? And Tomoyo…She needs to know…I'll send her a message.
I opened my eyes and knew my hand was still in Syaoran's, not that it worried me. It was really warm and gentle in mine. What am I thinking?!?!
I let go of Syaoran's hand and look around. Where am I?
I look around in wonder. We're in front of a castle, I can see that. There's this massive castle in front of me. Much like those little toy castle that I used to play with when I was younger.
I look to my right and see a wagon and horse trot past us. Very fine white horse too. I look back to the way it's heading and see a town. A pretty modern town, but nothing like what's at home. There aren't any cars anywhere.
"Welcome to my home." Syaoran says from my left.
I'm speechless. This is his home? I thought he was from my world? Wait…isn't there only one world? Seems not...
Syaoran brings out a pocket watch from his tunic and grumbles under his breath.
"You took so long looking at your clothes and now we're late! Come on." He grabs my hand and pushes some sort of button on the watch and I feel myself zooming somewhere else again. Makes ya kinda sea sick actually…
I open my eyes again to find us in some sort of throne room. What the heck? I'm just an average high school student! Please don't hurt me!
I grab Syaoran's arm for support and he gently takes it off.
"We're in my castle, Sakura. Don't worry. Nothing will happen to you."
I see two computer chairs on both sides of the throne. The chairs spin around to reveal two elderly men.
Both of them are in Hawaiian shirts and shorts, holding glasses of juice in their hands, with little paper umbrellas and straws in the glasses.
Syaoran sweat dropped and I stared at the two men.
"Uncle Bob and Uncle Gary! Didn't I tell you to stop wearing my clothes?" Syaoran shouted, blushing madly. The poor guy must be very embarrassed with these two weirdos around him.
"I've brought the girl." Syaoran said, changing the topic quickly.
One of the men, very plump around the middle, laughed impatiently.
"Good on you Syaoran! Gary here was going to gulp down all your drinks without you!" Uncle Bob said.
I grinned and blushed slightly.
"I was not!" Uncle Gary – boy was man that was skinny around the middle – retorted. "I was just kidding! As if I'd ever do that to the boy! I'm a nice guy," he boasted casually sitting back in his wheelie chair. Aren't those chairs from my school? Look like the ones from the computer labs in the library…hmmm…
Syaoran pushed me closer to the two men and walked in front of me to sit down in his throne.
"Ok…" Uncle Gary said. "You wanna know why you're here?" he asked me calmly. I nodded and a wheelie chair appeared behind me. I sat down in it and waited patiently.
Syaoran looked at Uncle Gary and waited.
"We are the elders Sakura. We wrote those messages in that diary so that you could come here. We need your help." Gosh. Someone needs my help. What the…?
He paused and Uncle Bob continued. "You have been brought here by the Prince to help us. Your mother, the Queen of this land, has been captured and taken prisoner by a demon. The only way you can get her back is if we train you, her daughter, so then you can go on a quest with the Prince to get her back. Sound simple? It isn't."
Things started to fade and I fell to the ground, knowing that I had just fainted. My mum is alive? Since when?
I felt someone pick me up and carry me out of the throne room, up some stairs to a bedroom. I felt a pair of muscular arms holding me tightly and I knew it was Syaoran.
He placed me on a bed and put a blanket on me.
"You rest here for a while ok? Uncle Bob said too much at the one time. Silly bastard. I'm going to have a chat with him. Now have some sleep." I felt him pull the blanket over me one last time and then walked out of the room, closing the door behind him.
What I didn't hear was two elderly people talking in the throne room.
"Bob! I thought you were going to say everything!!! You nearly gave it away! Even Syaoran doesn't know…" Uncle Gary whispered to Uncle Bob.
Uncle Bob laughed and sipped his drink.
"What? That the only way that Sakura will succeed in getting her mum back is if she and Syaoran fall in love with each other and sleep together? Oh…they'll find out about that soon. We've planned this all for a good reason! Why would we wreck the funniest part of the test?"
They both laughed and Uncle Gary coughed.
"So they do actually have to sleep together?" he asked, laughing softly.
"We don't have to be that harsh I suppose…the moment she falls in love with him, they'll be all over each other anyway. But they'll never get her mum back if they don't fall in love. The Queen made sure to tell me all the specifics. PLUS the quest. Make sure they get the creatures ok?"
Uncle Gary nodded.
"If Sakura passes this test, she'll be fit to be Queen of this Kingdom of Godia, beside Syaoran. Her family will then be able to come and live here again, back where they belong…"
What's happening now guys? Is the Queen planning all of this? And what's with the creatures? Review and your questions shall be answered.
We now know that Not that Kinda Girl is Sakura's song. She hasn't finished it yet but when she does it's going to be REALLY cool! You'll just have to review and read on to understand ok?
I'll try to update as soon as possible ok?
REVIEW!!
