Hey just wanted to let everybody know that I have finished writing down the fanfic. Now I'm typing it. Read it and have fun! I don't own CLAMP characters, only the ones that I have made up. Also I just realized that I had spelled my own character's name wrong! Who does that! Well I guess I do. Sorry about that! The name in this chapter is right.
"Sakura? Sakura, wake up!"
"Huh?" Sakura blinked open her eyes.
"You're going to be late!" Kero said to Sakura, up close and personal with her face. With a shriek Sakura knocked Kero into the wall with her pillow and fell out of bed in the same motion.
"Sakura? Are you alright?" Aiden called up the stairs.
"Yeah, I'm fine!" Sakura rushed around the room, throwing on her uniform. Five minutes later, hair flying, Sakura ran out the door and grabbing her bike, well Tori's old bike, she pedaled off with a "Sorry Kero!" thrown over her shoulder.
Kero floated looking out Sakura's window. Exhaling noisily, Kero rubbed his throbbing head, proceeded to the magical library.
Sakura slipped into her seat just as the bell rang. "I made it." she exhaled, drawing in deep breaths of air into her starved lungs.
"Sakura how was your date?" Eli said leaning over. Sakura sighed dreamily as Madison and Eli looked at each other knowingly.
"Here Sakura, this is for you." Madison said passing over a black envelope with orange stars on it.
"What is it?" Sakura asked.
"Open it." Madison said mysteriously.
Sakura pulled at the flap. "Look at it later Sakura, teacher just came in." Salena hissed behind her.
Sakura put away the envelope in her bag, cheeks reddening slightly at Salena's rebuke.
Later while they were eating their lunches, Sakura remembered the envelope. "Oh! I completely forgot about what you gave me Mad." Sakura dug around in her bag. She pulled out the envelope, flipping it over Sakura pulled open the flap and drew out an orange piece of paper. It read: 'You are invited to a masked Halloween party at Madison Taylor's house on October 31. RSVP if you can make it.' "Oh I'd love too!" Sakura squealed putting the invitation back in her bag and picking up the apple from the table that the group was eating from outside in the warm autumn morning.
Rubius and Salena came over. "Hey thanks for inviting us Madison." Rubius said pushing his way in between Eli and Madison, to sit down shoulder to shoulder to the raven-haired girl. Madison looked troubled as Eli fell off the end of the bench, as there was no room for three people to sit properly. Eli landed in the dirt with a bump. "Oh sorry Eli old buddy, nothing hurt I hope?" Rubius said trying to look and sound overly concerned.
Eli picked himself off the ground, dusting himself off Eli glared daggers at the blonde haired teenager, as he said in a sarcastic voice. "Oh just peachy." Eli stalked over to Sakura on the other side of the table and sat down with a huff, next to Sakura.
"Your party will be lots of fun, Madison." Sakura said trying to cut the tension that the two young men were creating, clapping her hands together in delight.
Rubius smiled at Sakura's glee. "I'd love to know what you will dress in Sakura."
Sakura was alittle taken back at Rubius's implied tone. A new chilly voice reached the group. "Well you can't know. It's a masked party after all. Right Madison?" Sakura turned her head, face lighting up.
"Lee!" Rubius frowned at this new boy, angry the way Sakura was greeting him so informally, as Lee came towards the group, and Sakura jumped up to hug the handsome stranger.
"Chill out Rube, your eyes are turning and that boy wizard is watching." Hissed Salena, who stood next to the sitting Rubius. Indeed Eli was observing the young man out the corner of his eyes. Rubius closed his eyes and visibly tried to control his temper.
"Rubius, Salena, I'd like you to meet my boyfriend, Lee Showron." Sakura said as she and Lee returned to the group, hand in hand.
"Nice to meet you." Salena said, blue eyes trailing over Lee's obvious well-built figure. Rubius elbowed his sister and stood up. "Oh, yeah, we have to go but see you at the party Lee." Salena flounced her long blonde hair, turning around she saw that Rubius was leaving without her. "H-hey wait up!" she called running to catch up with her sibling.
"Of all the nerve!" Madison burst out to everyone's surprise. "First Rubius intentionally bumps Eli off the bench, makes a pass at Sakura, then Salena does the same thing to Lee! In front of Sakura!" everyone just stared at Madison, shocked by her out burst since she was usually so good-natured.
Eli quickly slid back over to sit next to the angry girl, placing a finger over Madison's lips; he brought her hand up to his mouth and placed a kiss on it. Madison was shocked into silence by his actions. "Madison, it's alright. Really." Sakura told her best friend.
"But I agree with Madison on one point, I don't trust Rubius. When Lee came over, if looks could kill, which I think it could have happened, Lee would be dead right now." Eli said as Sakura and Lee slid onto the bench across from them. Sakura tilted her head as Eli's sentence sounded odd to her. Eli explained. "What I mean is that when Lee came over Rubius' eyes started turning a weird color. I think it happens if he loses his temper. Which, now that Lee came into the picture, Rubius got pretty angry."
"Maybe that's the guy you fought before." Sakura said as the bell toned. Lee went in with them. "Lee why are you coming with us?" Sakura asked him.
Lee smiled at her. "I just got transferred to your school. So I can be around if anymore weird things happen."
Sakura grinned thinking, 'That's why there was a seat behind me.' As the realization dawned on her. The teacher came in and Sakura had no more time to daydream.
