Senpai: a more advanced student

And here is chapter four! :D

Enjoy!

Chapter Four

Katsu stood in front of the large mirror in his bathroom, carefully gelling his hair into perfect spikes. The bathroom was constructed out of black glass, with speakers embedded within the walls. A large TV hung opposite a circular Jacuzzi tub, and the floor had a self heating system during the winter. His range of hair products and expensive cologne stood in a line on a glass shelf. Fluffy hand towels were lying next to the sink, tied up neatly with ribbon. A maid appeared at the door and bowed down.

"Master Takeda, Madam wishes to see you. She is waiting for you in the sitting room." Katsu sighed and put down his bottle of gel. Strolling down three flights of stairs, he walked through two large ornate wooden doors. A woman was standing next to a vase of flowers. Maids lined the walls of the sitting room. Upon hearing his arrival, she turned around.

"Katsu. You took your time." Katsu bowed down slightly.

"I'm sorry, Mother. It won't happen next time." Inside his pants pockets, his hands were shaking. "You wanted to speak with me?"

She walked over to him and placed her palm on his face gently. She had his grey eyes; cold and emotionless. Her nails raked his cheek softly and he flinched.

"I heard that Syaoran…hnn…achieved a higher mark for that physics test…than you?" Her voice sounded bored, but it was icy, and there was a sense of danger in her calmness. "I thought I told you that…you are not allowed to let him surpass you…in any way? Why, then…has he beaten you…in every single test?" Her arm swung back and her slap echoed around the room. "You're a disappointment. You are worthless."

Katsu bowed down, his cheek stinging. As he reached his room, he blinked back his tears and rubbed his hand across his eyes angrily. He walked over to his bedside table and picked up the only photo in his room.

"Mother…I'm sorry I'm not good enough for you."

*Flashback*

"Kero-chan! What…what do you mean? Two more Clow Cards? That's impossible!"

"I don't know…I just sensed their presence last night." Cerberus glanced at Sakura. "Of course you didn't notice. You were snoring away like a truck."

"I don't snore like a truck! You do, but I don't!"

Their conversation had ended with Cerberus slamming his drawer, but Sakura couldn't help but worry about what he had said. Two more cards waiting to be captured…what was she up against this time?

"Sakura-chan!"

"Huh?" Her elbow slipped off the desk, and she turned to look at Tomoyo with a dazed expression on her face.

"That's the third time I've called you! Are you feeling all right? Are you sick?"

"I'm fine…but…" she lowered her voice and glanced around. "But Kero-chan said that last night, he sensed two more Clow Cards."

Tomoyo's eyes widened. "So…I get to make more battle costumes for you?"

Suddenly, Sakura felt somebody poke her in the back. She turned around, frowning, and came face to face with Syaoran. Heat rushed up to her cheeks and her vision went blurry.

"Uh…Mo…Morning…" Ignoring her greeting, he narrowed his eyes and clenched his jaw.

"What do you mean, 'two more Clow Cards'? What did that stupid plush toy say?"

"He said I snored like a truck." Her eyes widened at her own words and she mentally slapped, punched and kicked herself. "Ah! Um…I meant…" She stuttered and tripped over her own tongue. Syaoran sighed and took his books out.

"Whatever. Ask Eriol about it."

She nodded, but she continued to stare at him. He looked up, clearly annoyed, and snapped at her.

"What?"

"No-nothing."

She turned, her heart racing as if she had just run a marathon. She hid her grin and took out her own books. If she hadn't been mistaken, she was sure that, even if it was only for a second…

…he had smiled at her little mistake, like how he used to.

"Takeda Senpai!" Fumiko ran over to Katsu, giggling and overdoing her fake cuteness. It was lunch break, and the sea of students swarmed around them.

"Sato-san! What's up?" He grinned at the girl in front of him. "Do you need something?"

"I want to talk to you about something! Can you come with me for a moment?" She looked over at his drooling friends and flashed a smile. "Do you mind if I borrowed Senpai for a teeny second?" They shook their heads gormlessly, struck speechless by her very presence.

"Trolls." She muttered. She grabbed Katsu's arm and pulled him out of the building, stopping only when she reached a deserted area.

He was sure she wanted something from him, and his intuition didn't let him down.

"Senpai…I want to make a deal with you."

"Hnn…I'm listening."

"It's simple. You know that I want Syaoran. And I know that you want to beat him once and for all. If you help me get him, I will help you."

Katsu leaned back on a tree trunk. He held out his hand. She took it eagerly.

"Deal."

Girls whispered excitedly as Syaoran walked through the corridor, back to his classroom. He ignored them as usual, but he couldn't stop thinking about what Sakura had said.

"Two more Clow Cards…" What cards were they? Why didn't he sense anything? Eriol never said anything about this! He was so caught up in his thoughts that he walked into a wall.

"Ow…" Somebody giggled and he turned around, frowning. "Rika?"

Rika stifled her laughter. "Sorry…hahaha…you should be more careful when you walk!"

He grinned. "I was just thinking about some stuff, so…" He stared at the girl standing in front of him. He'd never really talked to her before; all he knew was that she was one of Sakura's friends.

As they walked back to class together, Rika started up some small talk. "Have you heard about that couple who died last night? It was horrible! Apparently they didn't look at the traffic light and got hit by a truck."

"He said I snored like a truck." Sakura's words came floating back and he couldn't help smiling.

"Syaoran-kun? What's so funny?"

"Huh? Oh. Nothing. I just remembered something someone said."

He turned and walked into the classroom, never seeing the dark shadow that passed over Rika's face.

Yosh! I'm working on the next chapter now!

I'll update soon (promise!), and please review! (:

Ja ne!
