Mystery of the Haunted Cabin
A/N: Puhahaha! Now the REAL torture begins!!! Yes, I know it was torture enough having to wait all of those days to get one lousy chapter... well I hope it wasn't too lousy. ^_^ I do try hard you know! It's not easy when you have to work on a research paper and you have a really bad case of paranoia that your best friend from your older school gave to you before you left to go to a different high school! Ok. I'm done fuming now so let's go on to the story. Oh yeah. About the disclaimers, I did them in the first chapter and I'm getting REALLY lazy now, so I won't be putting them up every chapter anymore, okie dokie? If there is a rule about putting them up every chapter, please email me at qtsakura1004@starmail.com to let me know, and I'll get on that right away. Yes, I know that's a different email from the one on my profile. You email either one. It doesn't matter.
Mystery of the Haunted Cabin
Chapter 4
Previously:
As Sakura and Tomoyo explained the situation to Sejin, Syaoran caught a strange glimmer from Sejin's hand which came from none other than a tiger shaped ring.
'This is interesting. The old woman had a ring just like that...'
Syaoran stared suspiciously at Sejin and always kept an eye on him in case something horrible happened to occur.
*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*
Sakura noticed that Syaoran seemed to be worried so she went up to him and decided to ask him.
"Li-kun, what's wrong?"
"You know that old woman who was actually the demon?"
Sakura nodded.
"She had a golden tiger shaped ring with a purple jewel in the middle."
"Yeah, so?"
"Sejin has the exact same ring."
Sakura blinked.
"Your point is?"
Syaoran fell over. . "I was afraid you would say that..."
"Don't worry, Sakura. I promise that no matter what, I'll protect you from it if it happens to be a ghost. Besides, if I'm not here, Keroberos will always be by your side."
"You've got that right."
Meanwhile, as the group left to continue on with their jobs, a ghostly pale figure started staring intentively at Sakura's key necklace.
*~*
"It's almost time for my race."
"Good luck, Meilin! We'll cheer for you in the crowd!"
"Speaking of cheer, I brought Sakura's cheerleading outfit just in case."
"Tomoyo, are you crazy?! It's freezing out there! How am I suppose to wear that?"
"Not that one. I made a winter cheerleading outfit. This will be so kawaii!"
Tomoyo started searching for her camera yet again as the others sighed.
"Come on, Sakura. What are you waiting for?"
Tomoyo dragged Sakura away to try on her new outfit as Syaoran, Sejin, and Kero left to find some good seats.
*~*
"What's taking them so long?"
"A bit impatient to see someone, aren't we, Syaoran?"
Syaoran blushed as he eventually realized what Sejin was referring to. As they both sat quietly, they started to listen in on other people's converstations.
"Hey, have you heard about that demon that killed the desk manager?"
"No. Not really."
"Well, they say that these demons are all around here looking for a strong target. Some people say it's magic, and others say it has something to do with a battle of some sort."
Syaoran eyed the two who were currently talking.
'Magic? This sounds suspiscious. I'd better tell the others later.'
*~*
"Ladies and gentlemen, the race is about to begin."
"Where are they?"
Syaoran was getting impatient when he saw a VERY familiar face standing in front of the crowd. Sakura had on a light pink cheerleading outfit with long sleaves and a short skirt with matching pants. Her pompoms were white with light pink streaks. She was also wearing waterproof tennis shoes that sparkled light pink with stars. Tomoyo also gave her the matching accessory gloves that had little star bells on them.
"This is perfect! Now how did I know that there were suppose to be solo cheerleaders for each competetor?"
Tomoyo squealed with pure delight as she set her camera ready. The cheerleaders went down the line for their performances. Last but definetely not least was Sakura cheering for Meilin. Sakura didn't really know what to do, so she made it up as she went along.
"M is for miraculous and E is for every effort; I is for intelligent and L is for look out! I is for invincible and N is for never give up. M--E-I-L-I-N! Go Meilin!"
Sakura did a few walkovers and flips at the last phrase and landed with the splits. As she threw her pompoms in the air, one coincidentally hit Syaoran on the head, and he caught the other one. People cheered at Sakura's routine because she was the only one who could do backflips with so much ease.
"Thank you cheerleaders! Alright! Contestants on your mark, get set...GO!"
The skiers slid down one by one until Meilin was in the lead with another girl. This pale faced girl seemed to be flying instead of skiing.
'I'll have to really step on it if I'm going to win.'
Meilin kept pressing forward until there was an obstacle course of flags. Some of the contestants started falling over and tangling themselves in the flags as Meilin and the other girl swiftly passed them. Strangely and mysteriously enough, the other girl seemed to be going through them as if she were a ghost. (A/N: Yes! I'm actually giving you a very VERY big hint!) The two pressed onward until they reached the finish line. A blinding camera flash shot out at the last second.
"And the winner is...Tayori Kichinawi with Meilin Li as second place!"
Cheers went up from the crowd as the disappointed Meilin was greeted by her friends.
"I'm sorry. Even after Sakura's really great cheer, I still lost."
"Meilin, you did great! You placed second in this competition when you barely started off. That's a good sign."
"But still, I didn't get first."
Sakura faced Meilin as if her idea was crazy.
"Meilin, you're from Hong Kong! These judges say she lives in Alaska! What can you expect when you just practiced for a week? She had the unfair advantage, but you still managed to keep up. That's a really good sign that you have a talent, Meilin. Don't give up hope."
"Thanks, Sakura. You always bring out the best in me."
"You're welcome, Meilin."
"Come on. Let's celebrate! Sakura can make her famous pancakes, I can make a cake, Li-kun and Sejin can set up the decorations while we watch the whole thing on video again!"
Tomoyo started cheering everyone up about the celebration. After the judges passed out the medals to Tayori, Meilin, and Sapiyona, and Sakura was given a cheerleader teddy bear with the area's logo on it for being the best cheerleader there, they all walked back to their cabin for their party. Unfortunately, there was a spy who kept her eye on them.
'I don't get it. They lost, but they're still happy? That's impossible!'
"Tayori" left the skiing area as she became more and more... transparent.
A/N: O.o Not good. Tayori, you bad... bad... whatever you are! I'm not going to spoil it no matter how hard you beg me to. Okay, maybe just a little thing... there's going to be a flashback on the next chapter and you'll see what only Sakura and Syaoran noticed about the area. Okay, I think I said too much, but please REVIEW for me. I've been feeling lonely, 'cause nobody's been talking 2 me lately. T.T
