Growing up

by kateangel

It is about Sakurachan who is turning 18 years old. Her life as a child catching clow cards are still in her memories forever. But things are going bad as Kero and her friends are leaving her for a life. Something she will never forget. Ever.

9. Chapter 9

Chapter 9 - Gem's Power & the teacher?

"Sakura!" Teacher exclaimed.

"Yes, ma'am?" she asked.

"Would you be available to meet me after class to write a full paragraph about paying attention?" Teacher questioned.

"Actually I wouldn't be available; I have plans." Sakura replied.

"Well then, I still would like you to meet me after school - Only for a few minutes that is." Teacher said.

Sakura nodded and looked toward Meiling as she was doodling a picture of college.

"We are going to do a little activity today, class, please feel free to choose a partner." Teacher stated.

Sakura looked at the unporportioned red gem. It started to glow and the teacher yelped a pain.

"Miss! Are you okay?" Sakura asked.

"Yes..s...I'm fine. Go pick a partner please." Teacher responded, smiling as if nothing ever happened.

Shaoran looked at Sakura in seriousness.

"Shaoran" Sakura whispered, "Do you think something is wrong with the teacher?"

"I'm sure it must be something." Shaoran said, dissapointed of not finding a absolute answer.

"I think I know.. Meiling gave me this red gem. It looked damaged and not into shape. It glowed and then the teacher yelped in pain. I think there must be something connected to this gem and the teacher." Sakura stated.

Shaoran looked at the teacher, she must be writing something, maybe the grades? Shaoran thought.

"..Hm. There must be a solution to this. This seems very serious. Did Meiling tell you anything about the gem?" Shaoran asked.

"Yeah she told me she found it the day Eriol and Kero poofed..and it dropped, though I didn't seem to notice." Sakura replied.

"Can I see the gem?" Shaoran questioned.

Sakura nodded and handed it over.

"..Odd. Very odd.." Shaoran said, "Maybe they left a message. Hoping you would come upon it?"

Sakura was interested in the gem, she didn't know what to answer because she did not know what the answer was. Why would she want to meet me after class? Is the gem just a setup from Eriol and Kero? What's going on?

RING! RING! RING!

"Everyone pack your stuff, and have a nice day, except for you Sakura." Teacher said.

Shaoran looked behind him watching Sakura and Sakura nodded.

"Yes, Miss?" Sakura asked.
