Chapter 11 (Into the sun)
Cody open the door to the outside and blinding sunlight envelops the group.
"Wow... it is really bright outside." "Well, that's what happens when you spend three days sleeping with someone" Leaf said indignantly. "Chizuru rolls her eyes and Cody becomes flippant. "Look it wasn't three days it was 14 hours and it was that long because I accidentally got drugged." Chizuru looks at him and lets go of his hand, suddenly moody. Moka sighs and Chizuru rushes off ahead of the rest of them. Haruhi takes this time to go and move closer to Cody only to have Chizuru glance back with a look that could scare the grim reaper. "All right, now what should we do?" Moka flicks her hair back and glances at Cody. "Well, you're the brains of this operation… you decide." "Refresh my memory; a certain beauty in my life has scrambled up my mind. Chizuru suddenly falls back closer to the group and clings to Cody's arm. "You are trying to get home and are trying to figure out how to open the book." "Right… hey can I see the book Haruhi?" She flushes a little from the attention and hands him the book. Chizuru makes a face at Haruhi that tells her to keep her distance. "Ok… let me try using some magic on this book." Cody begins by drawing a magic circle, which flashes blue, and an old worn book appears. "Hmm… now where is that spell…" Haruhi offers to help, but Chizuru's glance silences her. Leaf looks irritated and Moka kicks a stone bored. Cody shuts the book and sighs. "All right, Leaf, Moka and Chizuru go and find something to do… Cody draws a small green circle and three small bags emerge. "In here is some money, a way to communicate with me and a list of items I need you to gather. Could you help me out?" The girls nod and begin looking at their lists. Chizuru pecks Cody on the lips. "I will be back before you know it…" She bounds off in fox form, bag in her mouth, navigating the area expertly. Moka glance over at Cody… "This could take a while I will be back when I can." She disappears in a cloud of pink smoke and a bat flies away in her place. Leaf looks at Cody and rolls her eyes. "You gave me the grocery list and basic shopping needs? Really?" Cody sighs and grabs his sister's arm lightly. "You're way to tense right now… go off and do some shopping meet some new people and try to adapt for a little while." "What about Haruhi? She left for the library five minutes ago…" Leaf looks past Cody and sees her figure way off in the distance. She sighs then starts jogging off eager to get the items. Cody stops her then motions for her to look past a nearby tree. A light blue bicycle is leaning against the side and she grins. "Thanks brother." She mounts the bike and takes off. Cody quickens his pace to an alleyway where he draws a magic circle. A short while later, he emerges from a tree on the edge of the local park. He moves quickly and stealthily towards the center off the park where there is a Sakura tree. Little did he know someone was watching and following his every move…
