Free Talk session with CCS Characters!

Syaoran: So, Cherry-chan, how goes your social life these days?

Cherry: Erm. . . fine? Eh heh heh. . .^^;;;;;;;;;

Syaoran: Still no luck in the anime look-alike department, I assume?

Cherry: *voice faltering * y. . .yeah. . .s. . .so?! I'm happy with my friends alone! Who needs a boyfriend when you got your buds? *sweatdrop*

Syaoran: Um. . .YOU?

Cherry: *hangs head* fine, rub it in!! T-T. . .so I haven't found a Syaoran-look-alike, a Kamui-look-alike, a Lan-look-alike, or a Squall, Cloud-look-alike. . .Heck! I haven't even found a Yamazaki-look-alike!! *mutters* talk about rubbing salt in your wounds. . .

Syaoran: But you gotta understand! There are no guys in the world that looks like anime characters!

Cherry: No! it's not true! I don't believe you! >_< *covers ears* lalalalalalalalalalala~~ I can't hear you~~~

Syaoran: baka. . . -_-;;;

Sakura: That's mean Syaoran! You always pick on Cherry-chan!

Syaoran: *looks apologetic* Gomen, I'm very sorry. . .

Cherry: *grumbling* sure. . .he's always nice like that only when Sakura-chan's around. . .

Sakura: *winks and hugs Syaoran* 'cause he's my little wolf!

Syaoran: *blush* I'm happy. . . ///^__^///

Cherry: ………………*sob* I wanna hab a Syaoran for myself too~~ T-T

Quote of the Month: "It is with true love as it is with ghosts,
many have heard of it, but few have ever really seen it."

Ooh, good one huh? hehe, I read it somewhere, so I jotted in down, so I could use it for this section. Here's another, funny one though.

"It is better to keep you mouth shut and appear stupid, that to open your mouth and remove all doubt."

Lol, believe it or not, it's a quote from Mark Twain, got it during my computer class. . .don't ask. . .^^;; (and no! the teacher didn't say it to me!! =P)

Disclaimer: Yup, you know that I don't own CCS. If I did I would have a lot more than. . .*digs into pockets* a breath mint, a penny, a crumpled up dollar bill, a quarter and a piece of lint ^_^ All the characters belong to CLAMP and their respective owners. If ya sue me, you'll get the afore mentioned breath mint, penny, crumpled dollar, quarter, and lint. Is it worth it? I dunno. . .^^;; ALSO, I DON'T OWN GEORGE OF THE JUNGLE. (I really don't wanna either -_-;;)

By the by, this entire fan-fic series is 3rd person point of view… meaning it's all narrated, by ME! Except for the thoughts of ppl of course~

Everything has been said and done, so on with the fic already!

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*Exchange Students, A Constant Clique?~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

 

 

Sakura was breathing hard. *Kami-sama, I'm late again?! Hoeeee~ and I don't even have roller-blades, like in

grade school! Come on, come on feet! Don't bail out on me now! Right left, right, left! Keep the pace going!

Faster!* Sakura's eyes were screwed up in concentration, true anime-style. Right-left-right-left, she couldn't

even spare another second by tripping! Must. . . speed. . .up!

*Can't the human feet move back and forth faster than this?* Sakura asked herself. Perspiration both from

running and fear of being late started to form on her back. Right, left, right, left, WHACK!!! *whack?!*

Sakura wondered fuzzily *what the?* Then the stars and birds moved side, and she could see herself planted

in one of the huge poles supporting her school hallway.

"Ha-hahahahahahahahaha!!!!" was the thing she heard next after the ringing and chirping subsided. "Who's

there?" Sakura mumbled. She looked behind her and there was a dark haired boy rolling on the ground

laughing his head off. "Hahahahahahahaha!!! Girl. . .running. . . George of the Jungle. . .pole. . .WHACK!" The guy

managed to choke out in-between fits of laughter. "Girl. . .pole. . .whack!. . ." Afore mentioned "girl" was

blushing to the roots of her head. "HAHAHAHAHA!! Pole!. . .Hard!. . .WHACK!" The guy said again, this time,

whacking his own head to emphasize his point. Sakura glared for a while, then, she though of what happened,

and started to giggle, which grew to a chuckle, and before she knew it, she began laughing along with the

young man next to her.

5 minutes of mirth later. . .

"I'm really, REALLY sorry, but it seemed so funny at the moment, are you alright though?" The boy whom she

found out was Fuyumi Akira asked, a worried look on his face.

"Oh I'm fine! I'm always like this, I tend to oversleep sometimes!" Sakura answered quickly.

"Good." Akira said smiling. Then he realized his mistake and started stuttering; "I mean, what I really meant

was, that it's good that you're okay, and I didn't mean that it's good that you oversleep sometimes. I mean, not

that I'm insulting you! Oversleeping happens to everyone, it's _not_ a bad thing! And I. . .I. . .um, I meant it in

the best way?" Sakura laughed at his nervousness and soon after Akira joined her.

The two soon realized the time, and they had both missed the late bell, so they just sped their way to the

classroom. Akira happened to be in Sakura's Chemistry class. "Wow! What a coincidence Fuyumi-san!" Sakura

said, pleased that her new found friend could stay with her. "Call me Akira, Kinomoto-san." Akira smiled.

Sakura grinned back and answered "And you can call _me_ Sakura, Akira-kun." And with that, she tapped

Akira on the shoulder and raced off once more, calling back "Tag! You're 'it'!" After a moment, a laughing

Akira followed closely behind.

"Now the compound between the two substances that are shown here on the periodic table are. . ."

Matsushita sensei was droning on about a lab experiment that as about to take place in a moment when the

door burst open. A very embarrassed Sakura was at the door, her hair windswept and a bit out of breath.

"Well, well, miss Kinomoto! How generous of you to grace us with your presence!" Matsushita sensei exclaimed

with a stern expression, but underneath his wrinkles, his eyes were twinkling. He knew very well of the

funny Kinomoto Sakura, and he thought of her as one of his best students. Her only flaw being her tardiness.

"I'm so, very sorry sensei! But! But!" Sakura stammered for an excuse. "Yes miss Kinomoto?" her sensei

waited for her explanation. "I. . .um. . .w. . .was. . .busy. . ." She really didn't want to lie to her sensei, but she

would get into so much trouble, this was her 6th time being late! Then a voice rang out "She was busy helping

me, Matsushita sensei." Akira joined the mortified Sakura be the door. "And who might you be?" the sensei

asked curious. "I'm the new exchange student from Hong Kong, Akira Fuyumi." Akira said smiling toward the

sensei, causing the entire female population of the class to swoon at his charming smile and warm looking gray-

blue eyes.

Sakura blinked. *I didn't know he was from Hong Kong! He spoke Japanese so fluently!* She whipped

her head around to face her new friend, and he just smiled back. Then, as if he could read her mind, he

whispered so that only she could hear. "That's why I'm new here, I've been studying Japanese all the way from

Hong-Kong though." Sakura nodded in understanding.

Then, she heard an "ahem!", turning her head around once more to face her sensei, she uttered a "Hoe?" A

exasperated sensei was staring back at her. "I'll forgive you this once for helping the new student Miss

Kinomoto, but that's no excuse for you to carry on a conversation, which is by the way, interfering with our

schedule!" Sakura blushed hotly, while Akira chuckled, and guided the bewildered girl to an empty lab table

for two. Shaking his head, sensei Matsushita continued with the lesson.

"Now, in your lab seats, with your partners, we will carry on this experiment. All of you are seated

alphabetically (AN: In college?! Alphabetical order?! Oh wait, this is my fic. . .-_-;;) so you won't be

confused as to who your partner is. Now, get ready for the lab."

There was a slight bustle as the students got ready for the lab. The sensei walked over to Sakura and

Akira's counter. "Akira, you might have to work alone if you want to join in, or just watch

because there was an even number of people in this room before. . .wait. . .Sakura, who is your partner?" The

sensei asked, for everyone had parted into pairs, and no one was left over. He glanced at his chart of

students, confused. "Ahh. . .here's the problem. . ." Sensei Matsushita murmured, after a second. He turned to

Sakura. "Miss Kinomoto, alphabetically, you, being a "K" would have been paired with an "L" which is Li Syaoran,

but he apparently isn't here today."

Bewildered, Sakura scanned the room. *But he was awake and ready in his room a few minutes ago!

Something happened?* she silently hoped nothing was wrong with Syaoran. Sensei broke into her thoughts.

"For today, you'll work with Mister Fuyumi here, since you helped him this morning,

might as well make a clean job out of it eh?" Sensei Matsushita gave a warm smile to the new lab partners and

walked off, thinking *Youngsters falling in love these days. . .* he chuckled and thought of his own wife at

home.

"Awesome! We get to be lab-partners too!" Sakura said enthusiastically, but all the while thinking; *Syaoran!

What happened to you?* Akira agreed looking pleased, and went off to get their tray of supplies. When he

was at the back table, Sakura slid down on the stool, and propped her head on her two palms. *I hope nothing

bad happened to Syaoran. . .*

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*To be continued. . .~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Hello again readers. . .^^ first off, I'm so sorry! It was a sucky chapter, I know. . .this series really isn't going the way I hoped it would be. . .so so very sorry to the readers. . .I mean, you guys tolerate this stuff! >_< Really, really, really, sorry. . .T-T I'm really sorta out of it these days. . .school starting, and all that homework being piled on. . .exams, Arghhhh! I can't take this! Plus, there was thing I just had to get outta my system; "Reflection" a fic I'm doing at the moment, cause I got this "urge" so my mind is not fully on this fic at the moment. Bear with me people. . .

Oh, whaddaya think of the two new original characters I put in? I really like Sensei Matsushita (I always think "sushi" when I write him in. . .^^;;;), he's one of the teachers I'd like to have, kind, understanding, and just plain nice. He's a older version of Professor Fujiwara, sorta. Plus, he thinks Sakura and Akira make a cute couple, how many teachers can even _think_ about their students dating? XD *chuckles* he's like a wise elderly grandfather.

Also! Fuyumi Akira! (I dunno how I got the name, just popped into my head. . .) I like Akira, he's well, pretty much the sweet, but pretty tough guy, like Syaoran. He tends to show the sweet side more often tho, I guess I was thinking of Hotohori at the moment. . .cause I'm a pretty big Fushigi Yugi fan. . .I'm planning to put Sakura in a Miaka spot soon. . . *grin* can't wait!! Syaoran is so much like Tamahome! (except the hair, and the blushing business. . .) Why is it that in shoujo, we girls love the loner-type (but HOT) guys more than the wonderfully sweet and adorable guys? Like, ppl like Touya better than Yukito(but _gotta_ love the snow-bunny! ^-^), and Tamahome more than Hotohori, and um. . .Yamakazi more than Syaoran? *rofl* never mind that last one. . .^o^;; Guess we love the playing-hard-to-get hotties more than the easy-to-get type huh? hehe ^^ 'Nuff rambling for now! But pleeeeeze write E-mail to me! Even a tiny comment! Even flames! Or, I swear, I'll put a Nuriko type character in my fic! Don't make me do it! *laughs* gotta bounce~!

Ja!
