Chapter Eight

Of Books and Blanks Expressions

"Wow, this place is amazing!" Exclaimed Sakura as they walked through the busy city.

"It sure is." Replied Akane with a chuckle. "And it's a city full of magic, literally. People study magic here, so maybe I'll learn something new."

"Where are we going?" Asked Syaoran.

"A place I'm sure you'll like." Said Fai with a grin.

They walked into a huge and beautiful building and Syaoran and Akane gasped; the library was huge, with row upon row of books held by beautiful shelves on a marble floor.

Without a word, Syaoran and Akane leapt forward looking at all the books, flipping through a few pages before moving to another book.

"Wow, Akane-Chan." Said Fai in amazement, walking toward her. "I didn't know you liked to read so much."

"Of course I do." Said Akane, not looking away from the books. "Before my parents died I would read all the time."

It looked like Akane and Syaoran weren't the only ones interested in the books; Kurogane picked up a book and flipped through it.

"What are you reading?" Asked Akane, examining the cover.

"Nothing." He replied. "The pages are blank."

"Blank?" Asked Akane, evident confusion in her voice. "I wonder why."

"Who knows?"

Kurogane placed the book back on the shelf. He went over to another books shelf where Fai and Sakura were looking at some books.

Syaoran looked fairly curious and picked up the book, flipping to the first page.

"Come on, Syaoran-Kun. Time to go." Said Akane, giving him a light tape on the shoulder. He didn't respond.

"Hey! Come on!" Yelled Akane, yanking the book out of his hands. He fell to the ground with a blank look in his eyes. Akane yelled in surprise.

Fai, Kurogane, and Sakura tensed up. "That's Akane-Chan's voice!" Yelled Fai, running toward her, Kurogane and Sakura right behind him. They saw Akane kneeling over Syaoran, shaking him.

"What happened, Akane-Chan?" Asked Fai seriously.

"I don't know!" Gasped Akane. "I just pulled the book out of his hands and he won't respond to anything I say!"

"We need to get him back to the house." Said Kurogane, picking him up.

Akane nodded in agreement.

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY! Super Kurogane-San to the rescue! The next chapter should be coming soon! Also, it's a crime to read and not review, so please review! My goal is at least thirty reviews for this story, so please help me reach my goal!
