Hey! I'm back if you haven't. Sowwy again for such a long wait. It wasn't intended, and to make up for it, I plan to write none stop (but I WILL have my bathroom breaks, food, and not to mention time out of the room (not including school), because I've only had this old laptop for a week, and my parents already think I'm on it too much! ) for the next 2-3 chapters (a persons fingers can only handle so much typing without growing tired). HERE WE GO! drinks five cups of good ol' coffee (I seriously did drink that much. My head is fuzzy…but I must go on!). And VcChick, I did draw the dresses. I just can't load it onto the computer……stupid scanner…. sweat drop snowqueen, don't worry. I'm constantly hyper! ….

Last Chapter:

Tomoyo nervously smiled as she sweat dropped,

"Boy, seeing you take orders...is…odd…"

"Yeah yeah. Trust me, I only follow the orders of the people I care about. Let's go before I start singing 'Hit me baby one more time' and I become a prep."

"Now, that would be just plain scary."

They left their things beside the boys', and then went to the side of the in-pool. A rush of energy burst in them as they looked down. And then they entered the darkness of the pit.

Live the Life on the Rails

(I'm sorry, but I'm speeding this up)

In the pit, they didn't bring any of the pain in their hearts into their skating. But they did let everything else out, and because their emotion took control, they soared higher, and faster.

They didn't notice that their friends stopped to watch them in their glory, and that other skaters stopped and admired them. Neither did they care. They skated for hours, until about 4 when they came out of the pit, notreally panting and their hoodies sweaty. Skating prevented them from thinking, only following their instinct.

Each of the boys grinned, and Kioshi asked kindly,

"You guys ok now?"

"I think so…" (S)

"Good. So Kenji, are we going now?"

"Of course! We are going to a place with movies, video games, and a shower for you two!"

He pointed at the two girls, whom both held a murderous glare on their face. He laughed nervously, but they forgave him as they headed over to his house.

When they arrived to his house, the 7 ft black gate opened at the site of Kenji's SUV, and he drove up the driveway, and came to a stop at his house. His house was a 3 story ancient Japanese home with modern modifications. Several cherry blossom and lavender trees surrounded it, and rose bushes decorated the ground.

They climbed out of the SUV, gliding through the front doors like they had been there for years (in Sakura's case, about 5 months). The few maids present smiled and bowed, but Kenji would always tell them to stop.

When the group got up the stairs and reached his room, it revealed a large, spacious room, with a king sized bed, a sofa facing a 72" plasma screen TV, a ps2 and X box laying on the floor near it. Two doors were seen, one to his large walk in closet, the other to his bathroom with a shower/bath included.

Both girls called out simultaneously,

"I go first!"

"No! I do!"

"Nu-uh! I do!"

"No! Me!"

"Rock, paper scissors!"

(my goodness! 5 chances to jinx the other…)

Each went, and to Tomoyo's luck, she won first shower. She put up a v-sign (peace) and ran in grinning. She took only 7 minutes, but while they waited, the boys played ps2: FFXII. Tomoyo came out, with a pair of blue trousers and a large blue shirt with "Do you smoke the rails?" print up in white flames.

Sakura went in and took 10 minutes. She came out with a pair of black boxers with green dragons on it, and a black shirt with "Riddle me what?" in green.

(I'm going to make a shirt like that for myself one day….it is it's on punch line….lol)

For about 3 hours, they played Beyond Good and Evil, Parasite Eve II, Gods of War, and the Sims. When they got tired of ramming their thumbs on the controls and dieing constantly (at least the guys did. The two girls put on the same team could kick any ass), they decided to watch a movie. Miroku picked, and put it in. They either sat on the sofa or floor. (This is how they looked from birds eye…though why a bird would be in that room is beyond me…)

Tv

Teiji Akemi Miroku Toshiro

Kenji Sakura Tomoyo Kioshi

They watched Ice Age (I love that movie! I can't wait for Ice Age 2!), and all of them were laughing so hard that they had stitches in their sides. When it was over, they stretched and saw it was a little pass 10. Sakura knew Yelan said they could stay out till 12, but she wanted to her and Tomoyo's rooms with their new furnishings. And they had to do the preparations for the funerals. Tomoyo called Yelan on Yelan's cell.

#Moshi Moshi?#

There seemed to be some people in the background, but they quieted down as Yelan spoke.

"Hey mom! Is it alright if we come home now?"

#What! Why! Don't you wish to spend more time with your friends?#

"Yes, but….we have to…work…"

A slight pause came from the other side, but Yelan answered all to knowingly,

#I understand. I'll have the limo come pick you up. Where are you at?#

"We're at Kenji's house. We'll be inside the gate waiting. Ja ne!"

#Sayonara…#

Tomoyo turned off the cell, and looked to Sakura.

"We have about 20 minutes to change…I think."

"Alright. You can go first. I wanna beat up Toshiro before we go."

And with that, Sakura started chasing a wide-eyed Toshiro around Kenji's room. The guys just watched, amused at this old game of hers, glad they weren't the targets for today. Tomoyo shook her head with a chuckle and went to change into her clothes in the bathroom. She came out several minutes later to see Toshiro going swirly-eyed and Sakura watching cartoon, a triumphant look in her eyes.

"Sakura, your up."

Sakura leaped to the bathroom. It only took her 3 minutes to get done, but when she got out, a honking sound came from outside. Kenji looked out his window and saw that the limo was waiting outside the gates. He said glumly,

"Your rides here already."

Tomoyo and Sakura were confused, and were about to ask something, but the boys pushed them out of the house and through the gates. Kenji opened the door for them, 4 shoved them in, and the last slammed the limo door. The girls watched the 6 wave at the leaving limo, with Kenji ending up doing the hula dancing, making the 2 laugh as the limo pulled out.

This time, they didn't cry on the way to their new home, but just messed with gadgets, windows opening, closing, a radio came on/off, and suddenly a little flipping down TV was on the news. Tomoyo was going to turn it off, but Sakura stopped her. They listened instead, curious.

"Today was the Kinomoto Rampage. Sakura Kinomoto, the last under Kinomoto and only heiress, a professional skate boarder in the U.S.A, has been spotted in Japan. Today was the first day in six months that anyone (in the media) has seen her, but sadly, it came at a bad time. Yesterday at around 3:45 p.m., the famous Kinomoto parents, Fujitaka and Nadeshiko and their son Touya died along with a relative by the name of Sonome Daidouji, the sister of Nadeshiko Kinomoto and owner of the famous chain store Toys Galore, when they were hit by a drunk driver and their vehicle slid on ice, and was again hit, but by an on coming semi. This morning, at 10:13 a.m., a limo went to Tomeda Morgue, and then emerged three women. It is believed that Sakura Kinomoto went, accompanied by her cousin and fellow new orphan, Tomoyo Daidouji, the daughter of Sonome Daidouji, and the well known Yelan Li, president of Li Inc. and current head of the famous Li clan."

A picture of Sakura and Tomoyo beside each other, their black sunglasses covering their eyes. Yelan stood to the side of them, but close enough to grab them if need be.

"But, what are Kinomoto-dono's connections to the Li clan? Something is amiss. Also, there is footage that Kinomoto-dono had been at Tomeda Plaza Mall today. Here it is."

Then the screen showed the part about Teiji saying her name, then everyone chasing her, her running with Tomoyo beside her, the boys, and their new friends surrounding her, several of the shouting back obsanities to the crowd following her. It went back to the reporter lady.

"We just got a call, and it happens to be from Yelan Li herself, who has a agreed to a short interview over the phone. Can you hear us, Li-dono?"

#Hai, I can.#

"Li-dono, what is your connection to Kinomoto and her cousin Daidouji?"

#I am their guardian, I was personal friends with the Kinomoto's and Daidouji's, and I am their future mother-in-law.#

"What do you mean, future, mother-in-law?"

A rather freaked out anchorwoman asked.

#Exactly as I said. Sakura and Tomoyo are both engaged to my sons Xiao Lang and Eli, and I am their godmother.#

"How can they be engaged when they are only 16 years of age?"

The reporter was even more freaked, but curiosity edged her face.

#They have been engaged to my sons since birth. It was an agreement between Nadeshiko, Sonome, and I. It is written in the official documents.#

"So they currently are under your official care?"

#Yes.#

"Is it possible that we could talk to either of the girls?"

The anchors face turned hopeful.

#I have no rights as to grant an interview with them. And they are currently grieving, and I have only called to tell you to leave them to do so properly.#

"I was wondering, what were they doing at the Plaza then?"

#Well, you see-#

Suddenly the small television went static. Sakura switched it to another channel, but all were static snow. Unbeknownst to them, the whole world was cut from knowing why. Tomoyo just turned off the TV, and just in time as they pulled into the long cement driveway of the Li mansion. There were trees all over the grounds, like a little forest, but the Li mansion seemed to rise on a little hill.

The house was well lit, and as they drove up, a butler opened the door and helped them out, to which each smiled and said thank you. They strolled through the front door, slipping off their sneakers. The same maid, Cho, came up to them with a bow.

"Good evening, young Mistresses. The Lady Yelan is waiting in the private gathering room. Follow me, please."

They followed, still uncomfortable by the young mistress part. As they approached, they heard Yelan's voice, stern. They knocked on the door. Yelan's voice answered, her voice changed, now amused,

"Yes?"

"You wanted us, Mom?" (S)

"Yes, I do. Come in, girls."

Sakura was suspicious by the way she spoke that. But due to curious nature, both girls opened the double oak doors. Yelan was standing in front of them, somehow covering the majority of people behind her. Sakura and Tomoyo leaped to Yelan in a hug, which she was getting used to, and which she enjoyed greatly, and she in turn hugged them back harder. They let go and Sakura asked in good nature, innocent and dense,

"So, what did you want besides that?"

"Hahaha…Well, I'm going against what I had said earlier. I've decided it is time."

Yelan smiled. Sakura though didn't understand, and innocently asked again,

"Hoe?"

Tomoyo saved her,

"She means we're meeting everyone now."

"Ohhh…."

"You have no clue what I was talking about, do you?"

Sakura sweatdropped,

"Nope."

It was Tomoyo's turn to sweatdrop,

"You need to lose the cuteness and gain the brain sometimes…"

"Hey! Just because I'm not the smartest doesn't mean I don't know anything. My mind was occupied with something else at the time."

"So, what were you thinking, oh Kawaii-One?"

"What I should have the guys cook up for Yukito-kun now that he's back."

Tomoyo fell anime style at that one, but quickly recovered,

"Sakura-chan, if your going to start calling me names again, please tell me now."

"Well, it was your fault for falling on me"

"Your own fault for standing there."

"Tomoyo-chan, I WAS trying to get out of the way."

"Oh…."

Yelan had been observing their disagreement, or rather their debate. It was hilarious at the site of the two tomboys still wearing their hats and sunglasses, both had their boards in hand. And yet they were delegating back and forth like all true girl friends do. She didn't want to break up the fun, but the 7 behind her were trying very hard NOT to see who these girls looked like, especially her sons. She asked, amused,

"Are you two done playing?"

"Aww…Mom, we were at the best part."

"And what would that be, Sakura?"

"When Tomoyo goes 'Oh….'"

"Didn't that already happen?"

"Yeah, but you gotta live in the moment!"

Yelan chuckled. Sakura will always do something to surprise.

"I can't wait for round two then."

"Yeah, that's when Sakura does her kawaii 'hoe', with the look down."

"Ha! At least I don't go starry eyed in the third round like some one by the name of Tomoyo."

"I do not!"

"You so do! Even the guys agree."

"Darn that…"

"Ok Mom, now were done with round one."
