As usual, I do not own TRC and I'm truly sorry for the delay...

Chapitre 22: Nightmare

Sunday

"This is the dorm building. The girls' room is on the left side of the building, the boys on the right. Both high school and college students are in the same building. So that explains the huge size of this building." Takako said as they walked near the dorm building. It looked like an oversized apartment building. She led them inside the building. "I'll show you girls your room first and then we can stop over at the boys. It says here that Sakura and Yume will be sharing a room since they are both in high school. Kyoki, you will be sharing a room with Kaho Mukashi, she's in college as well. She's been attending this school since ninth grade. "

Kyoki's eyes narrowed slightly at that name.

Takako led them to the second story of the girls' side of the dorm. She pulled out two sets of keys and hand one to Sakura, the other to Yume. "These are your keys, do not lose them." She then opened the door to reveal a room that had two beds, two desks, two dressers that were placed as if there was a mirror in the middle of the room reflecting one of the sides. Well, almost, on the right side of the room there was a door that led to a small bathroom.

"This room is cute." Sakura said.

"Yea. I like it." Yume said as she looked at the room.

"Next, let's go to Kyoki's room." Takako said, and that was what they did. She gave Kyoki a key as well. Her room was like the high schoolers, but the college students got a small refrigerator. Takako told them that since college students have more intense homework and tend to stay up later, they get a refrigerator to give them energy. "Syaoran, you are to be sharing a room with Minoru Kokubunji. He's in the same grade as you, but is twelve years old, but is very smart, and is a very sweet child. I hope that isn't a problem."

"No, it's fine." Syaoran told her.

"Good then, let's go look at your room and then we'll look at Kurogane and Fai's." Takako said, leading the way.

They viewed Syaoran's room, which was like Sakura's room, but different in color. Then they went to Fai and Kurogane's, which was like Kyoki's but it too was in a different color.

"And that concludes our tour. There is a small orientation at noon where the college students, who came in late, like you, may pick their classes. And the high schoolers can see what classes they have assigned to them. Oh, and you can pick up your school uniforms there too. Well, I have to get back to work, but will you be all right finding your way around?"

"Yes, thank you so much for helping us." Sakura told her.

"Thank you." Yume smiled.

"You have helped us so much, thank you." Syaoran told her.

Takako blushed. "It's just my job. Well, see you kids around." She waved and left.

"Syaoran-kun, Kyoki-chan, I'm really sorry that you guys got paired with strangers." Yume told them.

"I don't mind." Syaoran told her.

"Huh?" Kyoki, who had been lost in her thoughts, snapped back to reality as she pushed her glasses up her nose, even though they did not need to be pushed up even more. "That is ok. Ah, I'm going to go check out my room." She managed to say a quick goodbye before running out of the room.

"Hmm, she's wearing her glasses. I wonder why." Yume placed her hand on her cheek, her finger tapping on her cheek.

"Maybe since she is in college she thinks she can look more college-ish like that." Fai suggested.

"Kyoki-san said yesterday that she thought her contact lens were getting worn out and she couldn't see as well." Syaoran told them.

"That idiot probably forgot to take her contacts out at night." Kurogane growled, mad at himself for not making sure the idiot remembered to take them out.

"Oh. I see. Anywho, Sakura wanna go to our room and prepare it?" Yume said.

"Sure." Sakura said, smiling.

"Mokona will come too." Mokona, who had been on Syaoran's shoulder, hopped onto Sakura's.

The girls waved as they exited the room.

Syaoran then told them that he wanted to go see if his new roommate was at the room. He was curious about Minoru. After saying his farewells, he left.

Fai walked into the room and sat down on the bed to the left. "Don't forget, Kuro-tin, if you need any help with dating or anything, don't forget to come to me for help."

"Shut up." Kurogane said as he sat down at the desk.

* * *

Kyoki walked into her room and looked around. She liked the way it looked; it was very cute.

"I want the bed on the right side." A voice said from behind her.

Kyoki gasped as she spun around, a voice, prior to this morning that is, that she wished she would never have to hear again. "That's fine with me." She walked in front of the bed on the left and dropped her bags there. Then she sat on the bed.

"Who are you?" This young woman was a few inches taller than Kyoki. Her hair was a dark brown that came down to her mid-back, her eyes the same color. She was wearing a short pink skirt along with a tight pink t-shirt. On her feet she wore pink high heel shoes.

"I'm Kyoki Okamiki."

"Odd name. I'm Kaho Mukashi. There are some things that we need to go over. Since I have been going to this school for the past five years, I have seniority of the room."

Kyoki remained silent.

"I shall have my friends come over from time to time and whenever I want. Please reframe from brining any of your friends over, which is if you have any. If you do, I bet they are rather geekiest. No offense. When my friends are over, please stay out of our way."

Kyoki clenched her teeth and nodded. She didn't want to get kicked out of school when it hadn't even started yet.

Kaho smiled at her. "Well, then if you understand all of that, then I think we will get along as roommates."

Kyoki smiled back.

Kaho walked to her newly claimed bed and sat on the edge of it.

The two of them sat in silence for several minutes before Kurogane came.

"The others are ready, you coming?" He said, looking at Kyoki.

"Oh, yea." Kyoki was relieved to be leaving the room and jumped off the bed, rushing over to him.

Kaho did the same and rushed over to him. "Hi! I'm Kaho Mukashi."

Kurogane glanced at her for one second, and then looked away, uninterested.

"Kyoku and I are such great friends already." Kaho said, hugging onto Kyoki's arm.

Kyoki raised her eyebrow at this as she gently released her arm from Kaho's grasp.

"Since you're new here, do you want me to show you to the orientation?"

"No." Kurogane told her as Kyoki walked out of the room. He stepped in line next to her as the two of them started to walk down the hall where Fai was waiting for them.

Fai motioned for the two of them to hold hands, which infuriated Kurogane, but he took her hand anyway.

Kaho couldn't see Fai, but she did see Kurogane take Kyoki's hand. 'He's holding her hand? Does that mean they are dating? Why would he date such a geeky looking girl with a geeky name like Kyuko Okumuki? He's just so hot! I have to make him my boyfriend this year! I better get started now.' Kaho laughed to herself as her thoughts began to fly. She walked out of the dorm room, closing the door behind her and took off in an opposite direction of her target.

* * *

A little bit later the group was walking out of the auditorium. Sakura, Syaoran and Fai were looking at their schedules.

"This sucks. Why do the college students have to take gym class? Gym sucks." Kyoki whined. "And we even have to wear school uniforms."

"I thought you always wanted to go to a school with uniforms?" Yume asked. "At least you get to pick your classes. We don't get to have classes together."

"Yea, but now I don't like it since I feel restricted and confide. But the cool thing is that we don't have to go to gym if we have a class overlapping that. I wish I knew that before I made my schedule. We still have lunch together."

Yume smiled at this.

"Lunch ain't a damn class." Kurogane snapped at them.

"Yes, it is you fool!" Both Kyoki and Yume yelled at him.

"What other classes do you have?" Sakura wondered.

As they walked, they each told what classes they had. Close-by, but hiding, Kaho listened to them until after Kurogane told what he had. Afterwards she ran into the orientation building.

* * *

After lunch, Kyoki went back to her room to relax before the next day when the classes began. Kaho was on her bed, painting her nails. Kyoki ignored her and sat on her bed, playing her Nintendo DS.

"Hey..." Kaho said, looking at Kyoki.

"Hmm?" Kyoki did not look at her.

"Are you dating that Kurogane guy?"

Kyoki nodded.

"How long have you two been dating?"

Kyoki turned off her DS and turned to look at Kaho. 'They have the same face; maybe they are more alike than I originally thought. But... maybe she is not like the Kaho from my world... I'll just be careful around her either way..' Kyoki remained quiet for a few moments. "Just out of curiosity, why do you want to know?"

Kaho shrugged. "Just wondering. I don't want to feel bad if you two were dating for a long time, and then he started to like someone else. That would be harsh."

"What are you trying to get at?"

"Nothing, Kyoto." Kaho said, getting off the bed, slipping her shoes on since her nail polish was now dry. She left the room without saying another word.

"Whatever." Kyoki said as she laid back on her bed, staring at the ceiling as she began to involuntarily began to remember what occurred with the Kaho with her world.

* * *

Yume was walking to the cafeteria, seeing as it was dinnertime and all when a college student stopped her. He was around the same height as Fai, had black hair, light brown eyes and wore glasses.

"Are you one of the new high school students?" He asked her.

"Yes." She looked at him suspiciously.

"I'm Shinji Kamuro."

"I'm Yume Kasai."

"Cute name to go along with a cute face." Shinji smiled down at her. "I was wondering from the moment that I saw you if you would like to go out with me?"

"Oh, dear. I'm sorry, Shinji, but I already have a boyfriend." Yume told him gently.

"Hehe, I kinda already figured that a cool girl like you would already be taken. Oh well. See ya around." Shinji waved to her and left.

Yume continued on her way. She walked into the cafeteria. There was a massive line at the food line. The room was huge with tables everywhere. It took her a few moments to find the table where Fai and the others were. She made her way over and sat next to Fai. "Heya. Where's Kyoki?" She realized right away that her cousin was the only one not there.

"In line." Kurogane said, referring to the long line.

"Oh."

"You get off at two fifteen tomorrow, right?" Fai asked her.

"Yea."

"Wanna meet out in front of the school tomorrow and go look at Calciner?"

"Sure."

"What is Calciner?" Kyoki asked as she sat down at the table.

"Oh, a restaurant in town." Yume told her.

"Oh. Cool. Hey, Syaoran, did you meet your roommate?" Kyoki looked at him.

"Yea. He's really cool and smart."

"I'm going to go get in line now." Yume said, got up and left.

"So does he look like he's twelve or does he look older?"

"He looks his age, though he does not talk or act that way. He says he is working on making a humanoid computer-robot."

"Wow! That sounds awesome!" Kyoki said, starting to want to meet this genius of a child.

Sorry for the long wait. I finally remembered to post this chapter. I hope everyone enjoyed it. I know it ended crappily. Sorry. Until the next chapter then. xD
