Chapter the Fifth: In Which Syaoran Starts Losing His Mind All Because of Giant Chickens
"This is your brilliant idea?"
"Yups! Tomoyo helped me with it."
"When I said to make up an evil plan, this was NOT what I had in mind."
"Well, what you had in mind can go to hell, Eriol. This is my plan and I'm sticking with it."
"Tomoyo, talk to her!"
"Why? I like it. Besides, it took me a LONG time to make that thing and I'm not letting my work go to waste."
"Fine. Say we stick with your plan. Whose going to wear that hideous thing?"
"Er…"
"Well, Tomoyo?"
"Well…"
"Oh no. I'm not doing it."
"Oh yes, you are!"
"STAY AWAY FROM ME YOU CRAZY CHINESE DELINQUENT!"
"What did you call me? Take that! And that!"
"Tomoyo, HELP!"
"I'm sorry Eriol."
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
Syaoran Li had twigs in his hair, mud on his shirt, and grass stains all over him but he didn't care. Normally he would have tried to look his absolute best when going to meet his lovely cherry blossom but these were not normal times. These were times when a man had to put his courage away in a nice small closet and cower in fear while sneaking stealthily out of his own house in order to hide from three insane maniacs that were out for his blood. Or at least, his utter humiliation and embarrassment.
"SYAO-CHAN!" A Chinese girl leaped out from behind a bush causing Syaoran to swear and make a run for it. If it had been any other person, Syaoran would have most certainly stood his ground. After all, he was a man! But even a man must be given leeway to scream like dying chicken and run as if the devil was chasing him. "SYAORAN! WAIT UP! LET'S GO TO SCHOOL TOGETHER!"
"THERE'S NO WAY IN HELL I'M GOING TO DO THAT!" Syaoran screamed as he turned the corner and bumped into….
A gigantic feathery chicken wearing a big red cape stepped in front of him.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" Syaoran screamed. Then the chicken smirked and disappeared.
"What's the matter, Syaoran?" Meiling yelled in an earth shattering voice right into Syaoran's ear.
"Didn't you see it?"
"See what?"
"You know. That giant- Nevermind."
"Okay, Syaoran." Meiling grabbed Syaoran's hand and pulled him along to school. Syaoran looked behind his shoulder and saw that giant chicken waving his wing at him. He screamed.
"Yes! That stupid Hiiragizawa isn't here today!" Syaoran whooped as he entered the classroom. Everybody was looking at him because he was laughing maniacally in the door way so Syaoran was the only one looking out the window. He was the only one that saw a giant chicken flying outside the window. He screamed.
"So what does x equal," their cheerful math teacher asked. Syaoran raised his hand. Math was so boring when you were as smart as he was but he needed to divert the teacher's attention away from his beloved but utterly confused cherry blossom.
"Yes?" The teacher looked at Syaoran. Syaoran smirked confidently.
"Two hundred fifty-" Syaoran froze as he saw a giant chicken floating outside the window.
"Two hundred fifty?" The teacher prompted him, worried. After all, Syaoran was one of the best students in the classroom and when one of the only students that will probably bring you glory as his teacher turns a ghastly pale white, you should worry.
"Giant chickens," Syaoran whispered in fear before fainting.
It was English class. They had a vocabulary list on the board. Syaoran was writing down the words when he came to the last word.
"Giant chicken! What the fuck?" Syaoran blinked, rubbed his eyes, and looked again. Now there was a little picture of a chicken next to it.
"What's the matter, Syaoran-kun?" Sakura looked at him in concern.
"Don't you see it?"
"See what?" Syaoran looked again. There was no longer the words "Giant chicken" written on the board or a picture of a giant chicken. There was only the word, "innocent" written on it in its place.
"Nevermind." Syaoran shuddered as he looked out the window.
Throughout the day, Syaoran saw traces of the mysterious giant chicken everywhere he looked. The worst was when he was in music class. He had been singing with great concentration when he was the only the person to look up from his music and at the teacher. Behind the music teacher was the giant chicken tap-dancing. Syaoran had choked on his own spit and had to be thumped on the back quite hard.
"Uh, Syaoran-kun?" Sakura placed a hand timidly on Syaoran. He had been acting so strange all day, even stranger than Tomoyo on the rag.
"GIANT CHICKENS!" Syaoran yelled hysterically. He laughed nervously. "Gomen, Sakura. What did you want to tell me?"
"There's a new restaurant in town and I want to try its food after school."
"So you want me to go with you, is that it?"
"Exactly! Will you?"
"Of course."
"Arigato, Syaoran-kun! See you after school!" Sakura kissed Syaoran on the cheek. He turned blushed and turned red with embarrassment. His embarrassment changed to rage when a giant yellow feather fell from the sky.
"WHAT GIVES?"
"Syaoran-kun!" Sakura ran out of the classroom as soon as the bell rang signaling the end of school. "I'm so happy I can be with you." Syaoran smiled at her and held her hand.
"I'm glad-" Syaoran's eyes bulged out of their sockets as he saw a giant chicken and he swore.
"What's the matter," Sakura asked.
"Nothing, nothing. Let's go." Syaoran helped Sakura into his car and drove away with her, all the while muttering something about giant chickens.
"There's the restaurant!" Sakura spoke excitedly. "Tomoyo-chan said the food is really good." Syaoran grunted in response, preoccupied with parking his nice car in the small parking stall. When he finished parking, he and Sakura exited the car and Syaoran stared at the restaurant's big flashing sign.
"See, it's called 'The Chicken Coop'! Isn't that such a cute name," Sakura asked Syaoran but he wasn't listening. He was too busy staring at the feathery giant chicken wearing a red cape and tap-dancing in front of the store.
"Giant chickens," he whispered before turning a ghastly pale white and fainting.
Later that day, a feathery giant chicken with a red cape walked into a large house. It plopped into its arm chair and took off its head to reveal the young reincarnate of Clow Reed.
"That was worth it." Eriol grinned.
