FF VII: Interrupted by Fireworks

Wish Upon a Star
Chapter One : Reunion

From Syaoran's point of view :

I studied the text in front of me. Math was one of my best subjects so I don't think I need to study that much. I leaned back on my chair. I was so BORED ! Since attending Pink Lotus Academy four years ago , I found that boarding school doesn't apply to me that well. I do well in all of my subjects of course but I missed being with my friends in Japan. And I miss Sakura . Sakura especially.

Since attending this stupid academy to please Mother , I never did talk to Sakura. Never gave her a phone call or wrote letters to her. Did I forget to mention that I have to share my room ? Yes , since this is a boarding school , they have dorms. The dorm rooms are quite big actually , but they require you that you share a room with another person. They assign you your room-mate too. Which is why I got stuck with a VERY VERY annoying person . Zachary . Of all people , I would rather share my room with that stupid stuffed animal , Kero-chan.

" Hi !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Did you study for your test yet ? " asked Zachary as he breezed into the room . Zachary is an American . His family owns a huge company that invests in technology. Which means he is stinking rich . I met his parents once in the first year that I came in Orientation. They're very quiet people , unlike their son , who talks non-stop. Too bad the parents didn't rub off on Zachary . Anyways.......................

" Why do you ALWAYS have this stupid teddy bear on your night stand ? Aren't you a little OLD for them ? " said Zachary as he picked up a teddy bear . I froze up ; then I glared at Zachary . " Put . That . Down . NOW !!" I pratically yelled . " Why ? Ooooooooooo , does the little wolf has a girlfriend that he hasn't told ole Zachary yet ? " he teased . I glared at him . " JUST GET OUT OF MY FACE OKAY ???!!! " I exploded . " Whao, did I get the little wolf all mad ??" laughed Zachary as he pranced out of the room. I glanced at the clock . I had soccer practice so I guess I can't chase after Zachary. Besides , he had enough brains to actually put down the teddy bear before he pranced out.

I love playing soccer , but I don't like playing for the team that I'm playing for. The school requires you that you join at least one extra-cirricular activity. I joined all of the sports that were available. Unfortunately , they have cheerleaders for pratically everything. And those stupid girls keep on crowding around me whenever I come out onto the field . Especially this one girl . Her name is Mei-Lok and for some annoying reason , she's always around me.

" HHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii , Li-kun !!!!" she squealed . I groaned and gruffly mumbled , " Hi , Mei-Lok , " and brushed past her and hoped that she wouldn't follow me. Thankfully she didn't because practice was starting. " GO LI-KUN !!!!! GO !!! LI-KUN !!!!!!!! " yelled the entire cheerleading squad. Stupid girls. Zachary ( he's also on the soccer team ) came running up to me , already in his soccer uniform , " wow , you're really popular with the girls , aren't you ? Must be those amber eyes , or the way you always glare at them with that fierce look ? You're such a lucky guy to be such a lady's man. Girls like those , they don't even talk to me ." Maybe it's becuase they can't get word through you ? I thought silently. This was going to be a long day.

After soccer practice and then dinner , I went back to my room . It was early , so Zachary wasn't there. He usually goes to the library to hang out with some of his friends . I decided to sleep early since I was so tired. Which was strange , since I didn't feel tired. But I felt really , really , really sleepy. I collapsed on my bed fell asleep right after I closed my eyes.

When I opened my eyes again , I found myself flying above Japan. Then I found myself at Tomoeda Elementary School , sitting in a tree. Was I dreaming , I wondered. " Yes , you ARE dreaming , " said a voice . I let out a yell and fell out of the tree and landed at the feet of someone or should I say , somebody. " Are you alright , " said the person . I looked up and saw that it was Eriol. It was an older , more mature Eriol , and he was looking more like Clow Reed more then ever. I let out another yell and lurched backwards and landed on something soft and squishy. " GET OFF OF ME-UH ! " yelled a muffled voice . I rolled over and found that I had squashed Spinol. " Sorry , " I mumbled. Somebody giggled and emerged from the shadows. It was Nakaru , giggling. " Need some help Suppi-chan ?" she grinned. " No , " he said stiffly and flew up and glared at me. I turned away.

" I'm sorry for disturbing you but this is urgent. You must go back to Japan , " said Eriol , " because Sakura needs your help. A dark force wants the Sakura Cards. And they won't let anything stand in their way . Including Sakura . " A cold fist came and gripped my heart . Kill Sakura ? Eriol continued , " you must return to Japan tomorrow . I 've already booked a flight for you . Sakura will be meeting us there . " " Us ? " I echoed , " you're coming too ? " I stared at Eriol . He looked tired . " Yes , I am . Since I have fought them before , I have experience . You alone is not enough to protect Sakura. It is true that my powers are not strong enough , since I gave half of my powers to Sakura's father . But together , you and I , should be able to thwart them. You'll find your plane ticket on your nightstand . "

And with that , Eriol , Nakaru , and Spinol disappeared in a swirling mist. Then I woke up . I glanced at my digital alarm clock . It was midnight . And there was Zachary , snoring away . It was a wonder how I could get any sleep since he snores loud enough to wake up the dead . I noticed that underneath my alarm clock , that there was a plane ticket . I got up and turned on my lamp . It was a plane ticket to Japan . I took out my suitcase from under my bed where it was gathering dust . I started to pack . I have a flight to catch in the morning.

From Yue's point of view :

It has been a long time since I have awoken and been of need . A long time . Sure , I can look and see as Yukito , but I can't act as Yue in Yukito's body . Which is funny since I am Yukito . Okay ..... now I'm confusing myself. It's hard to explain since Yukito is really me . It's my false form that I took on since Sakura was too weak to sustain me as Yue . So Cerebus and I are both in our false forms . He in his stuffed toy state , and I as Yukito. Cerebus is lucky. He is who he is , as Kero-chan or Cerebus. But I .... Yukito can't remember anything that happens when he is Yue . I can't even move as him . Yukito and I are two very different people . During the past years since Yukito graduated , he has went on to college . Then he became a math teacher at Tomoeda Elementary . Life is good .

Even though Yukito doesn't remember anything as Yue , he does know that he is Yue . Each day I spend , trapped in his mind , never coming out unless Sakura needs my protection. Did I mention that Yukito lives in an apartment now ? He hardly sees Touya now , and he misses him very much. Wait a minute , isn't that ..... isn't that ... Kero-chan ???

I saw Kero-chan drifted in the open window that Yukito had left open in his room . I felt the wings surrond Yukito , and I was Yue once more.

 

It's been so long since I've been able to move. On my own. And not just looking out through windows that were Yukito's eyes. I felt anger surge through me. How could Sakura and Cerebus do this to me ? How can they just leave me in Yukito's body ? It isn't fair . It isn't fair that Cerebus doesn't have to suffer like I do .
I gave Cerebus a cold stare. I felt like screaming. But that wasn't me. I don't yell. Cool , collected Yue . Yeah , that's me . Never showing much emotion. I hate this .

" Yue ? Hello ? Buddy ? Heh , still there ? " asked Cerebus , studying my face . I will not show him that I am hurting deeply . " Yes ? " I asked coldly . Cerebus looked taken back but he plunged on anyway , regardless of my coldness toward him . " Eriol contacted me today , through a dream , " he started in a soft voice , "There's someone who wants to steal the Sakura Cards. And they'll do anything to get their way. Even kill Sakura , if necessary.

Somewhere in Ireland :

A dark figure appeared in the ancient runes. " Soon , Sakura , soon !!! " rasped the figure . Dark laughter filled the air as the figure slowly vanishes in to the shadows.
