I finally updated...It's a bit choppy at the beginning, sorry about that.
"SAKURA-CHAN KAWAIIIII! I wish I could film her right now but I can't do it while fighting. It's so depressingggg!"
"Tomoyo-chan!" Sakura exclaimed, shocked by her best friend's random outburst.
"Eh? I didn't say that...but I did think it..."
"KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA"
Everyone who heard the scream (which probably was the entire school) turned to see Minami, who had her hand clamped over her shokanjuu's mouth, restraining her shokanjuu from running to Akihisa.
"Minami-chan! What's wrong?"
"The shokanjuus... (stop wriggling! Ow! That hurt)...they're saying anything their masters are not saying but are thinking "
Sakura and Tomoyo's foreheads creased in confusion.
"Huh?"
"KINOSHITA-KUN! YOU'RE AWESOME! MARRY ME!" A boy from Class F shokanjuu's shrieked.
"WHAT?" Hideyoshi cried.
"That." Minami said, pointing at the flustered boy "is what I'm talking about."
"That's awful!" Sakura gasped.
"The system has failed like this more than once," Minami said, gritting her teeth together as if remembering embarrassing or bad memories.
"So...the shokanjuus reveal whatever their masters are thinking eh?" Tomoyo said with an odd smile and a strange aura emitting from her. "Hold on. I'll be right back."
She ran off, away from the battle, towards some other classes.
Minami stood up and brushed herself off.
"Well, I think I better continue battling. My shokanjuu's also gnawing on my fingers right now anyway. Good luck for your battle" she grinned before going off to face another opponent.
"Sakura-channnn, look who I brought," Tomoyo said in a slightly teasing manner.
"Great, Tomoyo-chan, who did you...Syaoran-kun!" Sakura gasped, "how did you get him out of class?"
"I have my ways."
"She ran in and literally dragged me out of class," Syaoran grumbled.
"It was self-study so you aren't missing anything. This is more important."
"This? I'm not even supposed to be here! Do you know what my mother would do to me if I get bad grades?"
"Of course I don't. I'm not part of your family."
"Well, she-"
"STOP IT! Tomoyo-chan, why did you ask Syaoran-kun to come out?"
"Nothing. I just wanted him to say salmon really fast."
"YOU CALLED GOT ME OUT FOR THAT?"
"Do it, please? For Sakura-chan?"
Syaoran looked from Tomoyo to Sakura and then back to Tomoyo again. He gave an annoyed sigh but said it anyway.
"OK. I said it. I'm going to-"
*Poof*
"Argh! Daidouji-san is so annoying sometimes. Why is she Sakura's best friend anyway?" Syaoran's shokanjuu grumbled.
"Li-kun...is that really what you think of me?" Tomoyo sniffed.
"Ehhhh? What-wh-you-arggggghhhhh"
Syaoran grabbed his shokanjuu and shook it a few times before he dropped it on the floor.
"Ow. That hurt." It said, giving him a long, hard stare.
"Hmph, just for saying that," Tomoyo turned to his shokanjuu, "tell me what you think of Sakura-chan."
"NO!" Syaoran gasped, trying to grab it but his shokanjuu, obviously annoyed at him for dropping him, earlier avoided his hands and ran to Sakura who picked him up and let him sit on her hands.
"So, Syao-chan, what do you really think of Sakura-chan?" Tomoyo asked with a strangely disturbing voice.
"Sakura-chan is the most amazing girl I've ever met. She is beautiful, talented, I-"
Syaoran grabbed his shokanjuu and put his hand over its mouth.
"Obey your master, damn it!" Syaoran cried, redder than a freshly picked tomato.
"That was so cute!" Tomoyo smiled, "plus, I got what I wanted, thanks Li-kun."
She held up her camera and replayed the scene for him to watch.
"Would Mei-Lin-chan find this interesting? I wonder..."
Syaoran made a odd strangled noise and reached for the camera but Tomoyo was too quick for him. She anticipated his movements and dodged them easily, slipping her camera into her bag as she moved.
"C'mon Sakura-chan. We would get into trouble if we don't finish our shokanjuu battle. And Li-kun..."
"WHAT?"
"You have to get back to class now don't you?"
Syaoran looked at his watch to see that self-study was over and his next class had already started. He picked himself up and ran back, tripping over himself as he ran.
"He's such a sweet guy," Tomoyo laughed.
"Y-yeah..." Sakura said, making a mental note to never make Tomoyo angry.
"Okay, Sakura-chan! Even though you're my best friend, I won't go any easier at you!"
"I know. Do your best, Tomoyo-chan!" The two girls took their places and -
The two shokanjuu's swords clashed together, as the two fought for the fate of their masters. The winner would move on and the loser would have the suffer a fate probably more horrible than death...remedial classes.
Sakura watched the battle in horror, feeling helpless as her poor shokanjuu was struck multiple times and got pictures taken with abnormally bright flash, dizzying it.
"Wahhhhh, don't be mean Tomoyo-chan!" Sakura's shokanjuu cried as it was knocked back onto the wall of the summoning field.
"Are you alright? Ohmigosh! Your points!" Sakura gasped, running to it.
"Wahhhhh, it hurts." It whined, pouting.
Sakura straightened for a moment, trying to think of a foolproof way to win. She closed her eyes, waiting for that moment, that moment when you are able to yell-
"I got it!" Sakura exclaimed, reaching for her shokanjuu which quickly jumped away.
"No, don't touch me. I'm already aching enough." It said angrily.
It's so rude, Sakura thought, sweatdropping.
"I heard that!"
Sighing, Sakura kneeled down onto the ground to the point where she was practically planking so she could speak to her very fussy shokanjuu face to face.
"I've got a plan, so listen to me and no funny tricks." Sakura whispered.
"TOMOYO-CHAN!" Sakura called, "lets continue. We're ready. Oh and, I'm going out with Syaoran this Saturday so...do you think you could make me a dress?"
Sakura watched as her best friend's eyes lit up and the corners of her mouth grew into a huge, excited smile.
"You're going put with Syoaran this Saturday? Ohmigosh what do you think of frills and..."
Sakura motioned for her shokanjuu to move forward.
"Go win this match," Sakura smiled.
"YAY! WITH THIS PLAN I MIGHT ACTUALLY WIN!" her shoukanjuu yelled.
Sakura stood there, mortified, her smile turning from fear, to anger and then back to fear. She looked at her best friends face fearing for the worst, but to her surprise Tomoyo was still smiling and happily ranting out various costume designs.
Sakura tried not to laugh as she nodded her head to the direction of Tomoyo's bored shokanjuu.
"I'm going to WIIIIINNNNNNNN," Her shokanjuu cried as it ran towards Tomoyo's shokanjuu getting ready to deliver the final, winning blow at the unsuspecting little thing when- the summoning field dissapeared...again.
"NO!" Sakura sank to the ground. "So close...so, so close..." she sobbed.
"Sakura-chan, daijoubu?" Tomoyo asked, truly feeling sorry for her friend.
"I'm...I...I'm-"
"Sorry about the inconvenience caused, Class A and Class...F, but the system is down so no battles for the whole month or so," the principal announced on the PA system, cutting Sakura off. Something a lot of people like to do, for some strange reason.
The classes groaned and cleared off, leaving the halls as they were before...empty.
"I can't believe the whole battle was canceled just like that," Himeji said sadly.
"Yeah. I didn't even get to fight." Akihisa sighed.
"Thank god," Yuuji muttered, shaking his head.
"Hey, what does that mean?"
"Nothing, it's just that our class would've been doomed to lose if you have fought!"
Sakura turned away from the fight, sighing and walked back to class with the rest only to find Syaoran sitting on the wonky teacher's table with a sour expression on his face.
"Syaoran-kun? What are you doing here?"
"Hmph, I declare war on Class F."
"WHATTTTTTT?" The whole class chorused.
"But...but..."
"I know that the system is down so the summoning battle will be in a month. Not that the rebuilding of my school will be finished by then so, good luck. You should be glad we're giving you time to study."
Sakura noticed his quick glance at her before he left Class F, face looking down to the floor.
"Syaoran-kun..."
Unimportant note: I just realised both Sakura (in my fanfic at least) and Akihisa's shokanjuus have bokkens...
I'm soooo sorry I haven't updated like since last year! I'm having so much problems with school work so i don't know when chapter 4 will come out. orz
I hate to say this but I won't put up Chapter 4 until I get 20 reviews. Please don't spam on Anonymous.
