Chapter two: Zaiozu Martial Arts School

First day of a new school but Sakura wasn't scared, nervous or anything like that, she was actually excited. Tomoyo and Mei Lin were right beside her as they walked down the corridor in their red fighting gi's (their clothes) they headed towards their lockers where they stored their sub subject books (eg maths, English, this school is magic and fighting orientated).

"So what do you think of it?" Mei Lin asked the two girls.

"Well the one in Australia was very different, it wasn't as large, though that might be because there weren't so many people attending." Tomoyo stated, Tomoyo was born in Japan and at the age of four moved to America, then at the age of twelve went to Australia, at the age of fifteen she went to the Australian marital arts school. Now she is attending this one. Sakura looked around at the different people, there were so many, all in different gi's there were a couple of black's and only a few blues most were white or yellow, there were a lot of reds and greens about as well.

"You have to watch out for those in a higher group, they are stuck up as hell." Mei Lin warned.

"What about Fan Ren?" Sakura asked noticing the blue clad woman, she was talking to a group of blues and they were all laughing and having a good time.

"Oh she's not as stuck up but still, you just leave them alone." Mei Lin stated closing her locker; all the girls had gotten ones close together.

"So what are we doing first today?" Sakura asked looking at her own timetable in Chinese. She had learnt it from Mei Lin three years ago when they had first met.

"Kuso, our first lesson is with the greens, it's where they bring in the upper class and they all show off their skills, its absolutely stupid, we have to do it as well." Mei Lin sighed in exasperation. "I seriously don't understand why we have to watch them, their all idiots any way, complete morons." Mei Lin continued to ramble on for another good five minutes while they walked to their "class room". It was filling in with reds as they went to a corner and sat down still half listening to the string of curses still flowing out of Mei Lin's mouth.

Then she stopped and we looked over as greens filled the room (this story deals with racism, among the colours if you get what I mean), all talking ceased as the greens walked to the front and began to talk loudly. Sakura wasn't really paying attention until one of the greens started to pick on a red and one of the girls at that. Sakura stood up and walked closer to hear what was going on, a circle had formed by now around the two. It was a boy, slightly taller then the girl who was a few inches taller then Sakura and he was large in build. He was taunting the girl and you could tell right away that they had a history (Sakura understood that, she's not dumb in my story) Sakura pushed her way through the crowd, Mei Lin and Tomoyo following. The girls face was red and her eyes shone with unshed tears. Sakura growled.

"You know Mou Tatsu I can not believe that I went out with you, I mean your as ugly as hell, I seriously must have been deranged to have done that and you kiss like a frog." Sakura laughed

"You've kissed a frog?" She asked incredulously. The girl that was being made fun of smiled and turned her eyes to Sakura. The boy went slightly pink as people snickered behind their hands.

"Shut up wench, keep your nose out of our business," he said, Sakura smiled and took a step forwards.

"This is my business," and with a surge of magic Sakura held her two Shoju in her hands.

Getting into a fighting stance Sakura grinned.

"What too scared to fight a red? And a girl at that? Tsk tsk and I thought they taught you to over come that fear here." She said in a mock serious tone. The boy roared in anger and his hands flared with magic and he shot two balls of red/orange magic at Sakura. Not able to dodge the attack Sakura put her hands up to protect her body. Her magic surging around her to form a shield of water and wind. The magic balls pushed against the shield as Sakura struggled to hold up her weak attempt at not getting herself killed on the first day.

~*~*~*~*~

Xiou Lang stopped talking to another teacher and turned his head slightly. `There's a flare of magic? There are no magic classes until tomorrow' sighing he ran a hand through his hair `stupid kids showing off' and that was when he felt a surge of light pink power, it wasn't as skilled as the former one he'd felt. Cursing he fled down the corridors towards his "class room" to find a most people flat against the walls and two people in the centre of the room, one was attacking the other defending, and Sakura was the latter.

Sweat beaded off her forehead as she continued to struggle, `I have to keep this shield up or I'm going to end up either killed or really hurt. Sakura pulled out more magic to keep up the shield; the magic balls were crackling and sparking, moving closer by the second.

Xiou Lang growled, he stormed through the door and over to the dulling students, he walked right up to the magic balls as discharged them where they were. `Idiots, what did they think they were doing?' just as he turned to Sakura she collapsed and he caught her before she fell to the ground, her Shoju clattering to the ground, they had been held tightly in her hands as she kept up the shield.

"Jin, get outside this instant. Mei Lin, stay here and make sure nothing happens, I will be right back." And with that Xiou Lang picked up the unconscious Sakura and carried her to the medical bay.

~*~*~*~*~

"Oh my gosh, I cant believe she did that, I mean wow" Mou Tatsu said as she watched Xiou Lang carry Sakura out with Jin behind them. Mei Lin grinned.

"Did you see how peed off he was? I've never seen him like that, hell it was actually scary" Yu Tai squealed as the girls from green and red gathered around Mou Tatsu disgusted with the way Jin Uzika had treated Mou.

~*~*~*~*~

Jin growled as he waited outside. He had seen how angry Xiou Lang had been when he had seen who he was fighting. He had fought before and against other females and never had Xiou Lang been so angry as he had just been. `Are they going out or something? I mean seriously why the hell should he care about what happens to another student? Although his anger wasn't really directed at me though was it? He looked pretty irate at the girl as well, ha so I'm not the only one that will get crap. I hope she gets more then me though cause she had no right whatsoever in getting involved between me and Mou. Ill have to tell Ardru about this,' Jin paced, `what the hell is taking Xiou Lang so damn long?'

~*~*~*~*~

Xiou Lang watched as Touya paced the floor.

"Where the hell were you? You're her teacher shouldn't you have been there to have prevented this?" Touya fumed as he turned worried eyes towards the door of the medical bay.

`He's right, I should have been there'

"Look I cant be everywhere ok, I was talking, I had to make sure that everything would run smoothly today, its not my fault if Sakura got herself in that kind of situation."

"Well you should have explained to her that these people use magic when they fight, she didn't know that, I didn't know that. I mean what kind of school is this where people can be killed if they don't know a simple defence spell? It was lucky that she put up that shield on instinct, other wise she would be much worse then she is now, and it would have been your fault." Touya stopped his pacing as the door opened and a nurse came out and nodded for them to follow.

`He'll, if I wasn't being so damned preoccupied with talking to Duo Faro I would have been at my class and she wouldn't be injured.'

Sakura was sitting up in the bed, as white as the sheets but she smiled when she saw her brother.

"Silly kaiju" (spelling?) Touya said ruffling Sakura's hair. She swatted away his hand but giggled.

"I hope you realise what kind of situation you were in, and you could have gotten killed." Xiou Lang reprimanded scowling. Sakura frowned.

"Well I didn't expect him to use magic," she sighed, "ill have to watch out for that" she said and flicked the sheets off of her and got up before any one could protest. "Now if you'll excuse me I have a class to get to." And with that she shooed the boys out of the room so she could get dressed, (she was wearing one of those hospital gowns, urg they are horrible).

~*~*~*~*~

Xiou Lang had gone back to his class to have a few words with Jin Uzika about his behaviour and gave him lunch duty as punishment. `Arg that is the worst, the lunch lady scares me and you get paid out something shocking for being the lunch boy' Jin glared `ill get you girl, you don't mess with Jin Uzika'

~*~*~*~*~

Sakura came back to her classroom fully dressed and looking slightly better, a little colour had come back into her face. Xiou Lang spared her a quick glance and nodded his head in approval `she's a fast healer'.

The greens had been sent back to their room after Xiou Lang had gotten back and had put all the reds in his class through their paces. He wanted to know how much the knew. Sakura was obviously way advanced in most of the fighting; she didn't know anything about Manji Ninja, Kempo and jujitsu.

Class was dismissed early since it was the first day and Xiou Lang needed to write down reports about everyone.

"Sakura over here" Xiou Lang ordered. Sakura rolled her eyes at her friends as she jogged over to Xiou Lang.

"Yeah?" She asked stretching in front of him. Xiou Lang had to shake his head to remember what he wanted to see her about.

"After dinner this room, you'll start teaching me." He said, Sakura looked up and their eyes locked for a moment before Xiou Lang looked away.

"And what about my training?" she asked.

"What do you think we did today?" he asked raising an eyebrow. Sakura grinned

"Had fun" she said playfully. Xiou Lang's lips twitched but he took control of himself again.

"Alright tonight then" she said as she went back to her friends.

They all headed off to the showers before they went to the lunchroom.

The sight that greeted them made them all crack up laughing, there in plastic garb was Jin serving lunch. They walked up in the line and grabbed their trays.

(Bla bla bla lunch happened nothing very exciting)

~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Yulka Nu watched Sakura out of the corner of her eye and smiled. `Perfect, I've located her, all I have to do is make sure she stays in my sight.' Yulka picked up her tray and went over to Sakura's table.

"Can I sit down?" she asked politely. Sakura smiled and moved over to allow the girl to sit down. All the female students had come over to Sakura's table, Xiou Lang's sisters were uncannily normal at school, and they all talked normally as well, it was freaking Sakura out.

~*~*~*~*~*~

Xiou Lang entered the lunchroom and looked around, he smiled slightly as he saw Sakura surrounded by girls, and all the boys looking at them or talking about them,

"Do I see a smile Xiou Lang?" turning Xiou Lang looked into dark blue eyes and he scowled.

"Shut up Eriol." He said walking slightly away from him.

"ERIOL, XIOU LANG, OVER HERE!" they both turned to see Mei Lin standing up and waving, all heads turned in their direction and Xiou Lang blushed slightly as Sakura smiled.

`What the hell is wrong with me?' sighing he walked reluctantly, well he wasn't that reluctant (and we know why) over to the girls table with Eriol.

"Sakura, Tomoyo this is Eriol Hiragizawa, (did I spell that right?) Eriol this is Sakura Kinomoto and Tomoyo Daidouji." They all bowed to each other as Eriol and Xiou Lang sat down. They were about to continue with their conversation when Sakura shot out of her seat and looked wildly around. Her eyes narrowed.

"Touya" she whispered before standing on her chair and leaping over Xiou Lang and landing gracefully on the floor, bolting out of the lunchroom. That's when the rest of them felt it.

"Something's not right" Mou said standing up also. All but Yulka stood up; she smiled slightly and stood up slowly as the others raced after Sakura.

"So he decided to make it more interesting?" Yulka grinned as she followed more slowly after the group.

~*~*~*~*~*~

Touya growled low in his throat.

"Let me pass gaki" he said stepping to the side, the boy stepped with him.

"No." the younger boy said his eyes alight with mischief. His shocking hot pink hair and orange eyes were strange and he wore a red and black gi.

"Touya" both boys looked to the running Sakura, she skidded to a halt and cocked her head to the side.

"Come on, I've been waiting for you." She said sweetly. The younger boy looked shocked as he stared openly at the beauty before him. Her smile made his knees go weak.

"Hi I'm Sakura," she said extending a hand to the boy. The pink haired boy shook out of his trance and gave her his hand

"I'm Ardru ijoji," he flashed her a smile and shook her hand.

"So what classes are you in?" she asked eyeing his outfit.

"Oh I teach magic, that's why my outfit is different, I teach fire and shadow magic." He said narrowing his eyes.

"You'll be in both my classes," then his eyes widened. "You'll be in a lot of classes." He stated. Just as Mei Lin and the others rounded the corner.

"What do you mean?" she asked. Ardru shook his head.

"You'll find out soon." He grinned then turned on his heal and left.

Sakura looked over to her brother.

"So what was that all about?" she asked. Touya looked at Sakura strangely.

"How'd you know where I was?" he asked, Sakura shrugged her shoulders and smiled.

"I don't know, I just thought you were in trouble." She said. Touya shook his head.

"The little weed wouldn't let me pass. Must have just been playing with me." He said

Xiou Lang and Mei Lin exchanged glances.

"What was his name?" Xiou Lang asked.

"Ardru ijoji" Sakura said still looking at her brother. Xiou Lang narrowed his eyes.

"Stay away from him" Eriol said his eyes narrowed as well.

"Why?" Sakura asked.

"Just stay away from him," Xiou Lang second Eriol's warning. Sakura huffed.

"Well I can't very well stay away from him if I'm going to be in his classes." She said crossing her arms.

"You can't know that, you haven't taken the test yet." Mei Lin stated.

"Well Ardru said I was so I just assumed." Sakura looked over at Tomoyo and sighed. "Lets go back to lunch," she suggested walking away. The others followed, Xiou Lang's eyes still narrowed.

`I don't know what your playing at Ardru but if you harm her you'll wish you were never born' Xiou Lang vowed turning his attention back to the smiling Eriol.

~*~*~*~*~*~

`She's an angel, an absolute angel, I never thought it would be possible for there to be one. Her smile, my gosh I'm captivated, she's woven a spell on me and I'm hooked. Her aura is so intoxicating. I'm obsessing about her even.' Ardru sighed, `so that's the one that got Jin in trouble' he chuckled `serves him right, if he fights with her again ill make his punishment worse then what Xiou Lang gave him.' Ardru continued walking down the corridor and stopped.

"Yulka come out I know your there." Yulka came out of the shadows and grinned at Ardru coming in to capture his lips, Ardru pushed her away disgusted. "Don't touch me," he snarled, he remembered last time he'd gone for Yulka; she'd cheated on him with another boy. Yulka smirked.

"Still sore about that?" she asked slightly amused. "I gather you've met our cherry blossom?" she asked, Ardru nodded his head. "Good, now don't stuff up, Sujin wants her after you've trained her power, and only then so make sure you teach her everything."

"Why train her? I thought it would be more easier to get her powers if she didn't know how to use them." He said more to himself then to his companion.

"Idiot, you should know that trained magic is much more powerful, plus there might be some hidden magic that she has yet to unleash." And with that Yulka disappeared into the shadows.

`I just don't want to hurt her' his mind continued to picture Sakura smiling at him. `I've fallen hard for the angel' he chuckled softly `who would have thought?'

~*~*~*~*~*~

The rest of Sakura's day was with weapons, again Xiou Lang taught along with Eriol who showed Sakura and Tomoyo how to use most of the weapons they didn't know. Exhausted Sakura ate her dinner then had a long shower before getting ready to bed and falling asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow.

Somewhere out there

Beneath a pale moon light

Some ones thinking of me

And loving me tonight

Sakura was in the castle on the clouds again and she moved towards the singing again, but there was something different this time, there were more people about but it was still so eerily quiet.

Somewhere out there

Someone's saying a prayer

That we'll find one another

In that big somewhere out there

There she caught the sound of another voice, and another, there were two male voices, both so familiar to Sakura, and she strained to hear them.

And even though I know how very far apart we are

It helps to think we might be wishing upon the same bright star

And when the night wind starts to sing a lonesome lullaby

It helps to think were sleeping underneath the same big sky

She could hear them more clearly now.

"The angel, so beautiful"

"Why can't I get her out of my head"

"She's like a star, so bright, so beautiful, so out of reach" there was a sigh

"Her eyes lock me in their depths and she has no idea the kind of effect she has on me"

Both voices were so familiar, `who are they?'

Sakura came to that same glass door with the words Cosette of the clouds and she pushed it open.

Somewhere out there

If love can see us through

Then well be together

Somewhere out there

Out where dreams

Come true

The same girl sat there and her eyes focussed on Sakura.

"You came again" her eyes were sad.

"You have him near you, next to you, and he is falling for you, now you must show him you wont leave, he needs your friendship, if nothing else then offer that, offer him hope and a way out." And with that the room flashed white and Sakura shot up in bed, eyes wide as she looked around her dark room. The clock next to her bed read 4:30 am. Sighing Sakura lay back on her bed, her eyes heavy and they fluttered closed and she was asleep again.
