CLAMP School Kurogane

Suwano Kurogane

A first grade student and a Suwa ninja. He was sent by his family to CLAMP school because of a prediction of their resident dream seer Tomoyo that he would find his "one" there. Kurogane is a very talented fighter and athlete despite his age, but is somewhat short-tempered. He believes he is a strong warrior and hates it when he is looked down upon and treated like a child (or a puppy ).

Fai D. Flowright

A fifth grade student. He is a foreigner and is reasons for being transferred to the school are not clear. All that is known about his family life is that he was raised by a person named Ashura and Ashura's bodyguard and friend Yasha. Fai is shown to be brilliant in almost all arts from painting to culinary. He is well mannered and appears to be from a well-to-do family.

Imonoyama Nokoru

A sixth grade student and president of the Elementary Student Council. He and Fai are very similar in nature as they are both always ready with a smile and a kind word. He is the youngest son of the head of the Imonoyama zaibatsu. He is very charming and intelligent and is always ready to help a damsel in distress.

Takamura Suoh

Fai's classmate and Nokoru's long-suffering secretary. He is also a ninja and his "one" is Nokoru. He is shy and quiet, except when he is forcing Nokoru to finish his student council paperwork. He is almost always by Nokoru's side. He has a crush on a kindergartner named Nagisa.

Ijyuin Akira

A fourth grade student and Nokoru's treasurer. He is (not so) secretly the thief 20 faces at night. He is very cheerful and seemingly naïve. He always supports Nokoru's exploits and is a very talented chef.

Case 1: Li-sensei's Doppelganger

Part One

It was shortly after Kurogane was saved by Imonoyama Nokoru from the fangirls when the little ninja found himself wondering about what lay ahead for him. He was now sitting in the CLAMP Elementary Student Council Office contemplating if he'd have been safer with the girls as he eyed the blond president suspiciously.

"This is from a young lady asking for our help," Nokoru announced to his small clique gathered in the office. He held up a letter Kurogane recognized (after all, who could forget such a flowery, frilly, girly, and intoxicatingly sweetly scented piece of paper?) as one he had handed to the Student Council Secretary Takamura Suoh earlier that day.

-

"I'll see you tomorrow," the brown-haired brown-eyed teacher said as he tapped his notes on his desk, aligning the loose pieces of paper.

"Stand," called out the class representative and the entire class stood and bowed respectfully for their teacher. They thanked their teacher for the lesson and Kurogane, for one, meant this 'thank you' more than he usually did. He had actually enjoyed the math lesson taught by Li-sensei. Somehow, it made more sense the way the teacher taught it.

When the teacher left, one of Kurogane's classmates approached him timidly, wary of the other student's temper. "Suwano-kun," the girl greeted him in a voice so soft that any other person would have missed it.

When he acknowledged her, she immediately turned pink. She had been expecting to be ignored because people generally didn't take notice of her. She was holding a pretty pink envelope in her hands. "Uhm, here..." she handed the flowery thing to Kurogane and then rushed out of the room.

Kurogane blinked, confused, then turned the envelope over to look at the address. In a hand that was too neat and intricate for a little girl, the words 'To the CLAMP Campus Detectives' were written. He wondered why the envelope had been given to him, but shrugged it off and decided it was because Takamura Suoh was his roommate.

-

"She says the man that she loves has a doppelganger," Nokoru ended with his usual flourish, setting the letter down on the table, his voice taking on a dramatic pitch.

"A doppelganger?" Akira Ijyuin picked the letter up and browsed through it.

"This young lady is obviously worried about her love," the president of the student council said, thoughtfully.

Suoh nodded. "If you see your doppelganger, it is said that you will die. Of course she does not want her love to die."

"I don't understand, kaichou, what are we supposed to do?" Ijyuin's gray eyes were asking, but they also held some kind of excitement for whatever was coming up ahead.

Nokoru's ever-present fan came into view and he unfolded it in front of his face. The word 'Mission' was written on the white paper. "We capture the doppelganger, of course! That way, this lady's love won't see it and will not die."

"That's a great idea, kaichou!" Ijyuin cheered.

Kurogane frowned. This was what the Elementary Student Council did? He checked how Suoh was taking things, but the secretary looked pensive about something. The blue-haired boy said nothing as the other two council members prepared for their 'search and capture' mission. He just went to work on his computer. Suoh looked like he was trying to remember something and was trying to jolt his memory by going through the voluminous files of CLAMP school.

"But this plan won't work out without the help of Suwano-kun," Nokoru's blue eyes were pleading as he turned to the first-grader. "Won't you help?" the question was punctuated with a decidedly feminine batting of eyelashes accompanying a puppy-dog pleading gaze. Suoh was too busy to advise against accepting, and Kurogane was too innocent to realize that it was a trap. Nokoru was baiting him. The younger ninja found it hard to resist blue eyes. He nodded dumbly. The older boy clapped, satisfied. "Great! Now, here's the plan..."

-

"...The girl's 'love' is the math teacher, Li-sensei. Suwano-kun, since he's your teacher, you will follow him around to prevent him from coming into contact with his doppelganger. Ijyuin and I will look for Li-sensei's doppelganger through the CLAMP school's state of the art surveillance camera system and contact you and Suoh so it can be kept away from Li-sensei and be captured."

Kurogane sighed. The plan was simple enough on its own, but that didn't mean it wasn't ridiculous. What kind of idiot believed in doppelgangers, anyway? Apparently, the entirety of the CLAMP Elementary Student Council did.

But, he didn't really have much else to do and Kurogane had already given his word that he would help. In case the doppelganger story was true, he didn't want Li-sensei to die, either. Li-sensei was a great teacher.

"Li Syaoran-sensei. 22. Single. A graduate of CLAMP School University. He grew up in China under the care of his grandfather who taught him martial arts among other things. He did his practice teaching at CLAMP School High and because he did a wonderful job there, he immediately got accepted to teach Math in CLAMP School Elementary.

"Now, he teaches Kuro-chan who obviously has a crush on him because Li-sensei's such a cool guy," Fai grinned widely as he finished his narration. He averted his eyes from the brown-haired brown-eyed math teacher who was studying a notice on the notice board quite intently to look at the first-grader he was leaning over.

"I do not have a crush on Li-sensei," Kurogane's growl was a bit softer than usual as he glared at the blond who was peering over his shoulder. Although he wasn't quite sure what Fai meant about "crush". Whatever it was, the look in those blue eyes told him it wasn't good. He cursed the fates that had decreed that the nosy idiot find him while he was trying to prevent Li-sensei from running into his doppelganger.

The fifth-grader patted his companion's spiky black hair affectionately. "So why are you stalking him?" he inquired, his blue eyes sparkling teasingly.

Stalking. Following around stealthily. Stalking was a ninja exercise. "What's wrong with stalking?" Kurogane hissed up at Fai. "And can you keep it down? You're going to give us away!"

"I don't think that matters, he's left already," Fai pointed out that the spot where Li-sensei had been was already very much filled with air.

It was a first for Kurogane. He had never lost his prey before. The blond idiot was distracting him from his work. He gave a frustrated roar before stomping away from the older boy.

"Where are you going?" Fai called after him.

The little ninja threw his arms up. "Away from you!"

"But, Little Black..."

"My name is KUROGANE!"

"But Kuro-kuro..."

Storm away.

"...Aren't you going to check out the notice board?"

Pause. Stop. Rewind. "What?"

"Aren't you going to look at the notice that Li-sensei was reading?"

Kurogane gave another growl, annoyed that he hadn't thought of such a simple thing. He gave a defeated sigh and walked over to the notice board where Fai already was.

"I think Li-sensei was looking at the one about the guest performance of singing idol." Fai watched as the wheels in the younger boy's head turned. "I take it that's where we'll be tonight?"

"That's where I'll be tonight, I don't care what you do!" Kurogane answered as he stomped away.

Fai didn't attempt to follow him, but the blond's comment, "Aww...Kuro-puppy's mean..." didn't escape him.

"I AM NOT—!" Kurogane yelled before storming off in search of his quarry. The rest of the sentence was cut off when the communication pin Nokoru had given him sounded off.

"We found the doppelganger. It is in the amphitheatre. Go after Li-sensei and stop him from reaching that place." Nokoru's voice crackled.

"There's really a doppelganger?" Kurogane found himself saying, dumbfounded. And then, his sense of duty kicked in and he ran after the math teacher whom he realized must be heading to the amphitheatre for the performance of the singing idol.

Author's Notes:

I am now setting a five review minimum before posting the next chapter. LOL. Just kidding.

About doppelgangers, wiki says:

"Adoppelgänger or fetch is the ghostly double of a living person, a sinister form of bilocation.

In the vernacular, "Doppelgänger" has come to refer to any double or look-alike of a person—most commonly an "evil twin". The essential meaning of the German word is "doublewalker", someone who is walking the same way as another person. The word is also used to describe the sensation of having glimpsed oneself in peripheral vision, in a position where there is no chance that it could have been a reflection. They are generally regarded as harbingers of bad luck. In some traditions, a doppelgänger seen by a person's friends or relatives portends illness or danger, while seeing one's own doppelgänger is an omen of death. In Norse mythology, a vardøgr is a ghostly double who precedes a living person and is seen performing their actions in advance."
