If I remember correctly, I believe this is a filler chapter where nothing much happens...
Well, enjoy if you can.
I don't own Card Captors. I'd be horribly rich off of fanatics like you and I if I did.
I'm also WistfulEyes on quizilla.
A Normal Day.
Nothing out of the ordinary in your room to be honest, but right at that moment…you know how sometimes when you wake up from a horrible nightmare, you suddenly don't trust anything you do normally? Currently your brain was in that mindset. Hesitantly you rose from your bed and scanned your room for anything foreign. You were suddenly thrown back bound down to your bed with strange purple twilight strings attached to your wrists and ankles that appeared to rise from the floor. A firm hand grasped the bottom of your chin before you saw two deadly hypnotic red eyes.
"You tell anyone about this, I'll hunt you down and skewer your friends," its hoarse voice echoed throughout through out the room in an eerie way.
The last thing you remember before passing out is an almost bruising pain on your neck.
"Himitsu-san, you look drained," Wong-san remarked the next morning.
"I'm fine," you smiled tiredly. "Once I get home, I'll go to sleep okay?"
A worried look flitted across Wong-san's face followed by a look of deep concentration. She frowned at the thoughts flitting through her head. You did not like this look of sombre concentration on Wong-san's facial features; it did not suit her at all. Finally, at length she asked, "Did you have a busy night yesterday?"
"No, it wasn't too busy. Other having sand thrown in the eyes, going over to Kinomoto-san's house, meeting Sakura-chan, and having bothered Tsukishiro-san for a good portion of the night, it wasn't too busy at all."
Wong Xiao Mei-san laughed heartily at your statement, and you frowned at first. You weren't trying to be funny, but decided to laugh along with her anyway. Suddenly, a flash of blue met your vision and you slowed your pace slightly to avoid bumping into anything or anyone. Slowly, the blue started to recede until it was a small wispy trail of blue invading your vision. Your eyes followed it, until it floated out of the window and up towards the sky.
"How strange," you thought while eyeing the mysterious blue light, shaking yourself out of the reverie you found Wong-san asking you if you felt all right, with her eyebrows knotted, and a frown invading her features. Although you were heartened that she was concerned, the look of concern did not suit her happy-go-lucky attitude.
"I'm fine Wong-san; there is no need to worry."
"Stop adding the honorific Himitsu! I don't like it when people get all formal; it makes me feel so…old…"
Smiling, you replied, "I'll stop adding the honorific Wong."
"Don't call me Wong either! Again it makes me feel so damn old! Ach…the Japanese and their strict rules of courteousness, so damn sickening at times. And I know somethin's wrong with you Himitsu, I don't really care what you say, but you'd better tell me what's going down soon, 'cause I'll hunt you down if you don't, and there's something else to it too. You kind of feel like the smaller sister I never had…it's so strange though isn't it? I just met you and you're like a sister to me. By the way, when are you born?"
Ignoring the error you replied, "Eighty-nine, sixth month, twenty-first day."
"Great! I was born on the twelfth month and twenty-first day. Call me Mei-Mei (Mày-Mày), in my language it means little sister."
"I'll try getting used to calling you Mei-Mei Wong-san. You're Chinese aren't you?"
"It's Mei-Mei. And, yeah, pretty much. I piss off all the teachers by handing in all my work in kanji. Since it's the only form of written Japanese that I can actually write and understand."
"But I thought all of China had the odd kanji…"
Carrying out a conversation about pictorials of all things, you and Mei-Mei walked idly towards your classroom while I followed you hesitantly, almost secretly to your classroom. I think you sensed my presence behind you because fleetingly, I saw you glance behind yourself, but I had hid behind a locker before you had a chance to look at me clearly.
The two of you were right outside the doorway now. Using your oddly speckled eyes, you stared at the doorway blankly. You didn't want to go in right now; you were feeling the strange vibe that Tsukishiro-san emitted. You wanted to stay away from that guy as much as possible. Checking your watch, you saw that you had plenty of time before you had to go into that classroom, and decided to persuade Mei-Mei into staying out of the classroom for a while. It took some arguing, but some general agreements were made. Yes, Mei-Mei would accompany you during the aimless wandering around the school, as long as the two of you dropped off your book bags in the classroom and that the two of you don't go wandering outside in fear of getting your indoor shoes dirty.
Opening the door Wong leisurely walked into the classroom to deposit both of your bags. Unfortunately for you Tsukishiro-san decided to enlist both Wong and you as help in getting the classroom ready for the school day. You toiled away furiously, trying to do a decent enough job quickly so you wouldn't have to come back here to help him again or whatever (I'm tired, shut up). Breathing in and out slowly, you helped Tsukishiro-san tidy up the classroom quickly, up until the aura he was emitting was sending shivers up your spine.
"Are you okay Himitsu-san?" Tsukishiro-san questioned.
"I-I'm f-fine," you stammered back while trying to get away from him.
"Himitsu, sorry, Himitsu-san, I don't think that you are-"
"I have to go," you replied quickly before dashing off into the corridor and sprinting into the girl's lavatories to quickly splash cold water onto your face. Tsukishiro…he wasn't a bad guy but there was something about him that just creeps you out. You try to relax your breathing, not working so far, and suddenly you had the huge urge to vomit…
(Wong Xiao Mei's P.O.V)
Mei-Mei helped Tsukishiro in cleaning up the classroom before she dashed off to find Himitsu. It wasn't that Wong Xiao Mei was purposely neglecting a friend in a time of need. It was just that she knew that Himitsu would be able to take care of herself that was, up until Mei-Mei's gut feeling began to squirm at that thought. Wong Xiao Mei was half positive that Tsukishiro would follow her to the bathroom, but it turned out that he had yet to write the date and day so it was crucial for him to stay behind.
"Himitsu?" Wong Xiao Mei timidly asked when she entered the girl's bathroom. For some reason, she felt as though she was invading somebody's home.
A toilet flushed and Himitsu came out hesitantly staring at the ground in her usual manner before she went to the sink to wash out her mouth. Wong hesitantly put her small hands onto Himitsu's shoulders and asked her, "You okay nay-jiang?"
"I-I-I th-th-think so," she responded brokenly in fear of what Wong guessed was throwing up again.
"Come on, it's almost class time nay-jiang, I don't think he'll scare you that much during that time especially since we have such…invigorating teachers."
Himitsu laughed weakly evidently picking out the sarcasm in Wong Xiao Mei's voice. Then the dubious duo slowly made their way towards their classroom chatting about ridiculous aspects of life that I the writer will probably never understand. The two were the last ones to enter the classroom on time, and after school spirit, rules, and the country's anthem was played, class started.
Wong Xiao Mei did her best in order to be alert for her struggling mark in this math class, but instead found herself staring blankly at the blackboard and listening to the melody of the birds outside.
"Himitsu? What is the answer?" Hiro-sensei asked scaring Mei-Mei out of her wits considering that she was just sitting beside Himitsu.
"Five hundred sixty-eight point nine nine," Himitsu replied before she waited for Hiro-sensei to say, "Correct," in order to continue to stare at the beautiful day outside.
Smiling, Wong Xiao Mei wrote a note hurriedly before crumpling it up and throwing it onto Himitsu's desk when Hiro-sensei wasn't looking. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Himitsu smile before making her reply.
Much of the periods passed this way before the bell rang signalling lunch, where Wong Xiao Mei got Himitsu to go outside for some much needed sun. Once outside, Wong saw Himitsu blinking repeatedly in what she assumed to be foreign sunlight to her, before "Mei-Mei" decided that it would probably be better for the two of them to sit in the shade. There they talked about random things. Well, it was mostly Wong Xiao Mei talking and Himitsu listening, but it seemed rather enjoyable nonetheless.
From afar, Mei-Mei saw Tsukishiro and Kinomoto approaching them leisurely. Well, somewhat, they seemed to be talking about something while they were making their way towards the two. Personally, Mei-Mei did not bother with the two knowing that they probably meant no harm. Himitsu on the other hand, didn't seem to think so considering that she ran off saying some lame excuse that Mei-Mei didn't catch because she knew it was a lie. Instead, she waited patiently for Tsukishiro and Kinomoto to make their way towards her while she nibbled on a random rice cracker.
Two shadows towered over Wong Xiao Mei; she snapped her head up and responded, "Konnichiwa Tsukishiro-kun, Kinomoto-kun! Oh gain ki deska?"
"We're doing fine Wong-san," came Tsukishiro's soft reply. "Is Himitsu alright? She left rather suddenly this morning."
"Well she's obviously alright if she's still here don't cha think?" Wong remarked while winking slyly at Tsukishiro-san from behind her rice cracker. Quite unexpectedly, Tsukishiro-san blushed and Wong's cracker nearly fell out of her mouth in shock.
"Where is she?" Kinomoto-kun asked angrily. "I saw her here, but she ran away. Why is she avoiding us for no reason? We haven't done anything to her at all!"
Tsukishiro-san came up behind Kinomoto-san in order to reconcile and calm him down. Wong smirked from behind her cracker and remarked that if she didn't know better, she would've sworn the two were a married couple. The hushed and hurried conversation of the two was abruptly paused, causing Mei-Mei to look up from her cracker to find the two friends staring at her with bewilderment etched onto their faces.
"Crap, what do I do now?" Wong thought (somewhat) before she made her next remark.
"Hey cutie, whatcha staring at?" she said jokingly while winking.
Kinomoto-san scoffed before stalking off grumbling about something that sounded like, "Never go to Wong for straight answers," while Tsukishiro-san on the other hand bid her farewell and went off to catch up with Kinomoto-san.
Wong Xiao Mei was still laughing when Himitsu came over after spying on the three during their conversation. Wong didn't mind, though she was rather curious as to why Himitsu reacted so badly every time Tsukishiro-san was close to her. She put that thought into her head later when it was the right time to ask.
"Works every time," Wong remarked to Himitsu between her laughs. "No nay-jiang, I'm not on drugs."
