Part 2: Star Masquerade
Chapitre 20: From Yesterday
Sakura's eyes twitched slightly from under her lids as she had a dream of a memory from long ago. She was running through the Kingdom of Clow to see a friend she had just met a few days before. As she ran, she began to go faster and faster and faster until she ran around the corner and bumped into someone who was coming around the corner at the same time. She fell backward on her rear and looked up at the person, smiling moments later. With her modified memory she saw a blackish shape, not who it really was, which was a young Syaoran.
I am sorry, Sakura-hime. Syaoran said, though in this modified version of her memory, she could not hear him either. He reached a hand out to her to help her up.
Young Sakura took his hand and smiled happily at him. "It's all right. I came here to look for you. I'm so happy to see you." She said as she hugged him happily.
Looking... for me? Why? Young Syaoran said, tilting his head like a curious kitten.
"Because since we're friends, I thought we could go play." Sakura told him.
To their left came a small meowing as a small white cat with yellow eyes came over to them. It rubbed its body against their legs as it purred.
"Aww, look, she's so cute." Sakura kneeled down and began to pet the small kitty.
Yes, it is. Syaoran knelt down as well and petted the small creature.
The cat jumped onto his lap.
"Hehe. I think she really likes you. I wonder whom she belongs to. Do you think they will mind if we play with her for a little bit?" Sakura asked, looking around for anyone who seemed to be looking for a kitten.
I don't know. Why don't we look around? As we're walking, we can play with her. Syaoran suggested.
"That's a good idea, *******-kun." Sakura smiled at him happily.
The two of them stood up. As they walked they played with the small white kitten.
"This looks like a park of some kind." Fai said as they landed on the next world in their journey to get all of Sakura's feathers.
They were in what exactly Fai said, a park. There were walkways around trees with benches placed here and there. There were many people walking around, riding bikes or skateboards. A little bit to the north was a road with many cars passing through. To the south was a large building that looked almost like a school of some kind of other. To their west was another road that appeared to lead to a city, or a large town, they could not be sure. The sky was mostly clear with a few white clouds floating by.
Kurogane picked up the sleeping Sakura.
"I wonder where we are." Syaoran wondered.
"Yutani." Kyoki said, looking at a nearby lamppost.
"How do you figure that?" Kurogane asked her.
Syaoran followed her gaze and saw a piece of paper on the pole. He walked over to it and pulled if off as he read it and turned back to the others. The small group crowded around him so they could each read it.
"It's a flyer accepting students... that seems... odd." Yume said. "A school trying to get students to come by using flyers."
"What might seem odd in one world, might be the standard in another." Fai shrugged.
"Yea, you're right." Yume said as she turned back to the paper in the young man's hands. "Top students will win a prize weekly? Prizes are awarded on Wednesdays?"
"It's probably to the top students to encourage that they get great grades. The reward is probably only pencils and notebooks since it's a school and everything. Schools are lame like that." Kyoki said. She began to rub at her eyes furiously.
"Kyoki-chan, are you eyes all right?"
"Yea, it's just my contacts are feeling a little funny," Kyoki said. "Don't worry."
"Moko-chan, do you sense any feathers?" Fai asked Mokona who was on his shoulder.
"Hmm...." Mokona began to concentrate.
"Ah... perhaps we walk. There are people who are staring and pointing at us." Yume said.
"We stick out with our clothing." Fai commented as he took Yume's hand and the group began to walk down the park path.
Kyoki nervously walked closer to Kurogane and took his free hand and held it but then she suddenly remembered what happened in the bathroom the night before and started to let go. However she stopped when Kurogane's hand clasped onto her own.
"Why do they keep looking at us like that?" Yume asked, starting to get nervous.
"Maybe they think we are actors and actresses or something cool like that." Kyoki said.
"Maybe we should get new clothing..." Fai wondered out loud. "There seems to be stores over there. Maybe we should check it out."
They each agreed and headed over to see what they had to sell.
An hour later, they were all in new clothing. They had their old clothing they had been wearing when they came to that world. And since they were getting so much money from the clothing, she sold most of her clothing that she got from Ombre. They were now wearing clothing from this world and thankfully didn't cause people to stare. Well, that is except for Sakura. They had gotten her new clothing, but they all felt uncomfortable changing her clothing while she was sleeping. So Syaoran carried her bag of clothing for her seeing as she could not do it herself.
"Mekyo!" Mokona cried out. "It's the feather! It's coming from that direction!" Mokona said, pointing toward the huge building they saw earlier; the one that had looked like a school.
"Let's go check it out then." Fai smiled.
And that is what they did. They found themselves in front of a massive school... and what looked like dorm buildings to the left.
"Is this a... high school?" Kyoki said, her eyelids twitching in annoyance at the thought of high school.
"It's a high school and college in one." A young woman said as she walked past them.
"Well, that explains that." Yume said.
"Mokona thinks we should split up and look for the feather. Mokona thinks that Fai and Yume should be one team. Kurogane and Sakura are the next. And Mokona's team will be Kyoki and Syaoran. Now, let's move out!" Mokona said, throwing its small fist in the air.
"Who made you the damn boss?" Kurogane snapped, but started to walk eastward with Sakura.
Fai and Yume took off toward the west area of the school.
"So, since they are going left and right, shall we go straight?" Kyoki asked.
"Sure." Syaoran said as the two of them began to walk while Mokona rested on Syaoran's shoulder.
"Ouch." Kyoki stopped suddenly as she rubbed at her eyes.
"Kyoki-san? Are you all right?" Syaoran stopped and looked at her.
"It's nothing. I think. Would it be all right if I ran into a bathroom?"
Syaoran nodded as he began to search around their location for one.
"There! There is one!" Mokona yelled, pointing to a door to their right.
"Thank you." She ran into the room, her left eye throbbed with pain as she looked at it in the mirror. It looked the same... just there was so much pain. As she stared at her eyes trying to figure out what was wrong with them, her vision began to blur. Kyoki quickly removed her contacts, placed them in a liquid container, then pulled out her glasses from her small bag and placed them on, putting the contact container in the bag. "What is going on...?" She shrugged and left the room to rejoin her friends. She ran back over to them.
"Oh~! Kyo-chan is cute with glasses~!" Mokona cheered. "You're always cute, but cuter now~!"
"Is everything all right?" Syaoran asked, referring to her glasses.
"Oh, yea. I think my old contacts are old and thus, worn out. I'm feeling a lot better now." Kyoki said as she remembered the couple nights previously she had forgotten to take them out while she slept.
"While you were in there I asked a few teachers about the feather. But none of them will tell me anything." Syaoran said sadly.
"Well, then, we will just have to ask other ones. Come on." Kyoki smiled as she took his hand and the two of them set off on their quest to gather information from complete strangers.
"Hey, look. The administration office. I bet they will have a lot of information here." Yume said, pointing to the sign above the door.
Fai patted her on the head. "You're right. Good work, Yu-chan."
Yume beamed her smile happily at him as the two of them entered the building.
Inside the building it was peaceful and quiet. There were many desks and many halls that led to many more rooms. They walked up to the first desk which had a name tag that read Takako Shimizu; under that it said: Registration/Information. Sitting at the desk was a pretty woman who was around her early thirties. She had black hair that came past her shoulders. She was wearing a dark dress shirt alone with pants. She looked up at them and smiled.
"Hello, how may I help you? I'm Takako Shimizu."
"I'm Fai and this is Yume. We were wondering about a white feather with a red symbol on the back."
"Oh, that feather? That's for the prize next week for the student with the top grades. At least I think it's for the first prize. I'm unsure if the prize will go to a high school or college student, if that is what you are wondering." Takako told them.
"H...heh?" Yume was rather confused. High school and college were separate where she came from.... but here they had it all on one campus.
"Ah, you two must be from out of town. Let me explain. The school is for both high school and college students. It's split in two so no one will get lost, hopefully. We have it like this to save land space and so the students can feel comfortable. Many of the students are afraid of sudden new changes and some do horribly on their schoolwork when they go to a new college. So here we give them the opportunity to stay where they are familiar. Of course, there are always some who hate the same thing, and so they go to other colleges if they wish to do so." She explained.
"That is interesting." Yume said.
"There are some openings for both the high school and college if you would like to attend this school. That is why you came here, right?"
Fai and Yume looked at each other, then back at Takako, both nodding. "Yes."
She stood up. "Then please follow me so we can get the paper work finished."
"Ah, may we enroll some of our friends as well." Fai asked.
"Yes, that is fine. I trust you two." She walked around her desk and motioned for them to follow her. "Unfortunately you cannot go into your dorm rooms until tomorrow since the new term starts on Monday."
"Is there a hotel, inn or motel near by?" Fai asked.
Takako stopped walking and turned around to face him. "If you guys are looking for a place for the night, you are more than welcomed to stay with me at my house."
"Really? Are you sure?" Yume asked.
"Yea, you guys seem interesting and I like you." Takako smiled.
"Thank you so much." Fai smiled back.
"After we are finished with the registration, I will have to file it, but that won't take too long. How about I met you and your friends out in front?"
Fai and Yume nodded and thanked her again.
And that was the first chapter to the new part. I so need to start putting up at chapter, like once a week... but I keep forgetting! I'm so sorry everyone! I shall try to keep to a schedule from now on!
Anywho. I hope that evevryone enjoyed this chapter! I'll have the next chapter up soon...ish.... LOL!
