8 Feathers
Chapter 4
The two young people rushed to their other teammates who were sitting down drinking tea and discussing music.
"I never knew you could play the piano Eriol," exclaimed Tomoyo.
"And I never knew you could sing either," said Eriol.
"If there is a contest. Would like to be my partner?" Tomoyo suggested.
"That sounds like a excellent idea," Eriol said.
"Are you two done with your chat yet? We need to discuss something extremely important," said Syaoran impatiently.
Eriol turning to Tomoyo said, "Lets stop this conversation for now and listen to Sakura and Syaoran. Shall we?"
"Of course," replied Tomoyo.
"Can you two stop acting so polite?" asked Sakura.
"Well anyways, a boy working for Darva stole the Ice Feather and we want to get the Ice Feather without hurting him," said Syaoran.
"There is no other way unless you destroy Darva," answered Eriol.
"Yeah we know. We need to make a plan to get back the feather." Sakura said.
"Hmm… I think it's best if we just steal the Ice Feather for now and collect the rest of the feathers. In other words, just collect the feathers then we destroy Darva."
"Good idea. Let's see, I'll team up with Syaoran and search in this area then Tomoyo and you can search this area." Sakura said pointing to two different spots on the map.
"Hey Sakura, I'm freezing. Can we go buy some clothes first?" pleaded Tomoyo.
"Come to think of it… IT'S FREEZING!!!!!!!!!!" shouted Sakura.
"Well, there's a shop right there." said Syaoran looking more closely, "Hey! They sell weapons!! Let's go!!" Syaoran exclaimed.
"Let's get lunch along the way," said Eriol.
"Did someone say lunch? Buy lots of food for me!! I'm hungry!!" exclaimed Kero.
"Oh, so this plush doll is greedy isn't he?" stated Syaoran.
"What did you call me?" asked Kero.
"Plush doll," Syaoran said.
"Why you ignorant little kid!!" shouted Kero.
"Hey, stop fighting let's just go buy the stuff we need," said Sakura.
"Oh! I forgot! Where's Kirara!" exclaimed Tomoyo.
"Meow…" purred Kirara.
"You don't have to worry about her. She's on Kotori's back." said Eriol.
Inside the store
"It's so warm in here," said Tomoyo.
"I feel better already," Sakura said
"I'm going to buy myself a sword. Hey Eriol, do you want one too?" asked Syaoran.
"Sure. Let's go look over there," said Eriol.
"Look at all the food," said Kero dreamily.
"You never change do you Kero-chan?" Tomoyo giggled.
"I want food," Kero said to himself not noticing what Tomoyo said.
"Uh, Tomoyo lets go over there," Sakura said wanting to get away from Kero. She knew that if she stayed near Kero any longer he'd ask for money.
"Hey, look at that poster! It's a singing contest. Let me go tell Eriol," Tomoyo said happily.
"You don't have to tell me. I'm already here." Eriol popped out of no where.
"Hm, it seems the requirements are just two people, one a singer and one a musician. The winner wins a feather by Darva. Do you guys think it's the Ice Feather from earlier?" asked Syaoran.
"It might be. So Tomoyo, Eriol you are going to join right?" Sakura said.
"Of course we are! Hey, what if we don't win? Sakura, Syaoran I think you two should join the contest also," Said Tomoyo worriedly.
"Yeah. You two will be our backup plan if we lose," said Eriol.
"What!! Tomoyo you know I don't sing. If I join our second hope will be lost," Sakura whispered in Tomoyo's ear.
"Come on, don't lie. I can hear you sing almost everyday," Tomoyo said out loud on purpose.
"Tomoyo!!" Sakura screamed.
"Ha-ha as if you can sing. I highly doubt it." scoffed Syaoran.
"Actually I can sing, but you won't hear me sing until we practice. What about you? Can you play music?" Sakura challenged.
"Well you are lucky since Eriol taught me, and you can't hear me play either until practice," said Syaoran.
"See? I told it will come in handy someday," Eriol remained Syaoran.
"There you are Sakura. You can't believe how long it took me to find you," exclaimed Kero.
"Uh, it's only been like five minutes Kero-chan," Sakura said.
"Oh well who cares? By the way, can I have some money to buy food? Please? Please??" Kero begged.
"No," Sakura looked away from his eyes.
"Please???" Kero started crying.
"No," Sakura said still looking away.
"Pretty please??" this time Kero was giving Sakura puppy dog eyes.
Sakura flinched when something went up to her face and looked. There was Kero giving her the puppy eyes. She was helpless
when it came to puppy dog eyes.
"I'm sorry Kero. Here you go," Sakura apologized.
"Yay! Food, here I come!!" Kero shouted.
"I now know your weakness Sakura Kinomoto," Syaoran muttered to himself.
"We should get going now. I know this great hotel where we can stay for a bit until we get the Ice Feather," said Eriol.
"Okay, come on Kirara," Tomoyo gently called.
5 minutes later
"I'm sorry. You can't stay here since you don't have enough money. You'll just have to find somewhere else stay for the time being." the clerk apologized.
They left their money at the kingdom because they were in such a hurry they forgot, and only brought a little. But then, the little amount of money left was wasted on Kero's greediness for food.
"It's all Kero's fault. He's the one that's so greedy for food." complained Syaoran.
"I'm not greedy!" Kero shouted back.
"Yeah right," Syaoran and Sakura muttered quietly so that Kero won't hear them.
"Where are we going to stay now?" worried Tomoyo.
"We can always knock on doors, and ask for shelter. Besides, I think the people here nice," Sakura hoped.
In front of a house
"I take that back," mumbled Sakura.
The owner of that house was as selfish as Kero. They started walking to other houses asking for shelter, but it was always a no… Until they saw a sign. The sign was for people that were entering the singing contest.
"It's for people that are entering the contest and that means us," Syaoran said.
"And they're sheltering people too!" exclaimed Tomoyo.
"We are so lucky!!!" Sakura joyfully said.
"Well lets hurry. The snow is coming down a lot harder now than before." frowned Eriol.
At the place where they are sheltering people
"We're so glad you four will be joining us for the contest," smiled the lady, "Your room numbers are rooms 405 and 406 on the second floor."
"Thank you so much for your help," thanked Sakura.
"Oh! I forgot to tell you, each room has only one bed. And you must share the same room with your partner in the contest." the lady said.
Everyone stared in horror. "WHAT? I DON'T WANT TO SHARE A ROOM WITH HIM/HER!!!!" Eriol, Tomoyo, Syaoran, and Sakura yelled.
"Sorry, but rules are rules. Here are your keys." she answered.
