*hugs*
~Wall-iE
(Let me remind everyone that I wrote this fan fiction a looong time ago. What ever I resolve here were my predictions of both the Harry Potter series, and the Tsubasa chronicle series. No, book 21 of tsubasa was not in english when I was in middle school. So although now we know Kurogane's curse that Tomoyo gave him is actually a charm of protection, I have written this as though it was still a weakening curse. Also stay tuned to how my firm belief in Snape shows through to the end. Something tells me this will take a while to type. Enjoy!)
Chapter 23: Kurogane's Curse.
Kyo ran as fast as he could to Fai's office. He was relieved to see Ami already there.
"Thank goodness!"
Fai looked startled by Kyo's reaction. Kyo blushed in embarrassment. "Fai, what is the plan, I mean for a suitable weapon with which to fight?"
Fai smiled. "Well, we will rely mostly on our wands and wits, but I have something additionally in mind." He called Mokona over. "Mokona, we need to talk to Yuko, the space-time witch."
Mokona closed its eyes and shot out a beam of transparent light through its mouth. Kyo fearfully backed away. Wasn't this the same witch who took away Sakura's memory of Syaoran so that she could travel with the group? Ami took a step back as well, though she responded out of her surprise. A tall, lean woman appeared within the light. "What's up?"She asked.
Fai cleared his throat. "I need that spell that we discussed earlier."
Yuko frowned. "The spirit wave orb as I warned you, has purifying abilities that are enhanced depending upon how evil the foe may be. Should you use this against Voldemort, there is no telling what draining effects this spell may have upon the user, or to what extent you will be able to control it."
"I understand. What is the price?" Fai asked cheerfully.
Yuko thought for a moment. "Since this power has never been really tested since the psychic Genkai created it, there is no way for me to truly know how much it is worth. However, it is worth a great deal to you, Fai, so you must make me an equal trade. I am very intrigued by this world of magic and I know that you have been experimenting with invisible ink. This is your price. I want your ability to make words invisible."
Fai blinked. "That's all? It seems like an unfair trade."
Yuko smiled mysteriously. "Perhaps to you. Perhaps I am taking something in which I have a much larger interest than you. But then, even I get greedy sometimes."
Fai retrieved all of the invisible ink that he possessed, and passed it through Mokona's mouth. The image of Yuko showed that she had recieved the ink, and then blurred.
Kyo looked at Fai with wonder. "Do you feel any different?"
Fai bit his lip and made a weak reply. "Nope, but I am hungry."
Kyo shook his head. They were all going to die.
Folding her arms, Ami asked, "So, we just go to Snape's office, and then what? Ask Voldemort if he'll surrender peacefully because he's surrounded by two underage wizards and a fraud DADA teacher?"
"That's one possibility," Fai answered.
"Well, if we're going to do this, then lets do it now." Kyo said, and quickly exited, and crossed to Snape's office. The others followed, knowing his thoughts were locked on Sakura-chan.
-------------------------------------------------
Ami looked around, blinking in the ink-like blackness of the dimly-lit room. Would this be the night when they finally found all the answers? Would they live to share those answers?
"Over here," She heard Kyo whisper. "There's a trap door below Snape's desk."
"Is it safe?" Ami asked.
"Seems to be," he returned. With that, Kyo took a leap into the hole, landing safely on firm ground. Ami blindly fell through the hole and Fai winced as she fell. Taking note of where the hole began, Fai jumped gracefully through the gap and looked to where Kyo and Ami were. Kyo was already helping Ami to her feet.
"I'm sorry guys, I'm such a clutz."
"This isn't the time for pointless excuses," Kyo said. "Just be careful from here on out."
An amused voice filled the room. "It's too late for the three of you. There is no exit to this basement but up. And I've taken your wands."
Kyo felt at the side pocket of his cloak. Just as the phantom voice had said, his wand was gone. Fai and Ami desperately checked as well, but it was futile.
"Who's there?!" Kyo demanded. "Snape?"
Blinding lights eliminated the abnormal fog of darkness that surrounded them. "No. But Snape is here." The mock-casual voice echoed around the room. Kyo's eyes adjusted quickly to the light, and he was able to see the owner of the voice.
"Yuki." Kyo said the name with a painful edge.
Uncontained laughter fell from Yuki's mouth. "No. I am Lord Voldemort! Now, witness, as I rise to power once more!"
Kyo looked behind him. Sakura was chained to a wall, guarded by the ever-faithful Snape. He had to rescue her. But how?
"The girl will help me immensely, or rather, her feathers will!"
Kyo smirked. "Sakura-chan would never give them to you!"
"No?" Voldemort smiled. "Snape! The potion, is it ready?"
Kyo's eyes widened. Of course. They were going to force her somehow to unwillingly give them up! And, truth be told, he was helpless without his wand. By some miracle, he had remembered to bring his christmas gift- the gloves that could generate fire. Those would come in handy. Also, Fai seemed pretty composed. That must mean he has a plan.
Suddenly afraid, Ami stood by Kyo and watched as Snape held a vile of silver liquid to Sakura's pale lips. It looked as though she had not eated properly in days. And her legs were askew, healing wrong. It was torture to look at her frail body. But it did work to intensify his need for revenge. Kyo ran at Snape, but it was too late. Snape discarded the vile and Sakura's eyes widened in pain. "Sakura-chan!!!"
Sakura's green eyes turned it's complementery color, as if to foreshadow the bloody battle that was about to insue. But Sakura didn't even seem to see Kyo, or recognize him. Without warning, Sakura toppled over the chains binding her no longer.
"Rise, servant." Voldemort commanded. "Faithfully serve your new master and return me to life with the fragments of your soul!"
A skull-like burn mark appeared on Sakura's arm, revealed beneath her shredded sleaves of her school robe. Chris fought as tears began to surface in his eyes. He couldn't believe what was happening. Sakura wasn't a death eater! Kyo's eyes showed his understanding. "COWARD!I see it now! Those you can't recruit to your side you either kill or control!"
Voldemort smirked. "So you've finally figured it out. It's the most valuable discovery I've made yet. The dark mark is not merely a symbol of loyalty, it is also infused with the imperius curse! My death eaters know what awaits defiance. The more they resist, the more their body is tortured. Depending on how much they struggle, their body will shut down for a peroid of time, and then they awaken under my complete control!"
Kyo turned to look at Snape. "That's what happened to him? You mean he's innocent?!"
"Now you're catching on. But if you think that I am merely sharing this boy's body then you would be most mistaken. I am controlling his SOUL!"
Kyo stared at Yuki's body. What did he mean?
"You look puzzled," Voldemort said. "Let me give you a clue. This boy is dead. I killed him myself. Does that help you any?"
Kyo tightened his fist. "So Kabuto was dead too? You switched because the body was beginning to decay! I'm going to kill you you parasite!"
Kyo lunged at the wizard with flaming fists. Voldemort never even drew his wand. Sakura was instantly in front of the dark lord and Kyo quickly released his tight fist if he hadn't he would have thrown his punches straight into her ribs. "Whaa--?"
Sakura assumed a fighting position.
"By the way," Voldemort said with a yawn. "I thought you might like to know that the reason this pathetic excuse for a school is playing quidditch with a one-winged snitch, isn't because it is easier to catch. I sent Snape to steal the snitch last year, but he only came back with one wing. He said something about not being able to touch the rest of it. Well, I decided that if something was to be done right, I would do it myself, only to realize in the most recent quidditch match, that indeed, I too felt the snitch try to repel me. Conveniently, the feathers sensed the presence of Sakura and returned to her body shortly after she was knocked out of the sky. The wing I was able to retrieve consisted of 8 feathers. And now I have the rest!"
Kyo was sent flying into one wall. Ami and Fai knew it was useless to hide. They were in Voldemort's territory now.
A burst of green light erupted from Sakura. Surrounding her now were all of the feathers that she and her friends had worked so hard to collect. Her memories, the fragments of her soul.
Greedily, Voldemort snatched the feathers from the bright sphere. "I think I'll leave her with two. So she'll have just enough life left to kill you!"
Between Ami's silent disbelief and Kyo's morbid dispair, the giggles coming from Fai seemed oddly misplaced.
"What?" Voldemort snapped.
Fai was muffling his giggles with one hand. "It's just.... You rhymed!"
Voldemort raised his eyebrows. "Kill them," He instructed to Sakura.
Ami flung herself at Voldemort, causing him to loose his balance. Sakura paused, mid-attack, as though she were fighting the imperius mark. Ami managed to grab a bunch of feathers from Voldemort before he could absorb them, and stuffed them into her robe. "Wheet Woo!" Fai said in the place of a whistle.
Voldemort stood up again. "Curse this child's body that I'm confined to!" He envisioned the tall, well-built Kurogane who he held captive with the others whom he suspected of knowing too much. Yes, he thought, his soul will do.
Sakura attacked Ami, who stuck to defense. Meanwhile, Voldemort said something to Snape. Sakura hit Ami square in the jaw and sent her flying backward. For a moment Snape disappeared, and then returned with a struggling Kurogane. Sakura paused for a moment as her companion was brought in. Taking this chance, Ami summoned her wand with all of her will. Obediently, the wand jumped into her waiting hand.
"Makai!" Ami shouted the spell Fai had taught them.
Voldemort spun around. Sakura blinked. Ami had vanished!
Voldemort shrugged and continued to speak to Snape. "That girl Ami is hiding. She's taken 14 of the feathers. Once I've killed Kurogane, I'll find her."
Kurogane stiffened. "You freak! There's no way that you're killing me! After we collect the feather's from this world I'm going home to Tomoyo!"
Voldemort pointed his wand at the ninja. Kurogane raised his sword. "I'm not afraid of your stick! Hyaaa!"
Fai realized Kurogane was planning to trample Yuki's body. "Wait Kurogane!"
Kurogane made an abrupt stop. Fai was serious. He hadn't used an honorific.
Voldemort shouted the unforgivable curse, "Avada Kedavra!"Kurogane's face contorted in agony. Yuki's body hit the cold stone floor.
"KUROGANE!" Fai shouted.
Kyo tried to get up, his head pulsing with pain. Obviously, whatever Fai's plan had been, Kurogane's death had not been a part of it. So now, he would just have to improvise. Kyo found his wand carelessly tossed to the ground and grabbed it.
Kurogane began to laugh madly, abandoning his prized sword. "Now where is Ami?"
By now, Ami's spell had worn off, and she appeard behind Kyo, wand tightly clenched in her hand.
Voldemort came at Kyo and the two began sending spells flying at eachother at a rapid pace. Sakura resumed her fight with Ami. The two students watched as Fai slipped away and skillfully knocked Snape out, and began freeing all who were captured.
Fai was unlocking the last cell when Voldemort caught him in the corner of his eye. "Enough!" Voldemort hissed. "Die all of you!"
Lifting his wand, Voldemort created a bomb of flames over their heads. Fai was the only on the escape the full blast, while he lost sight of Kyo in the fire and watched helplessly as all of the prisoners screamed their last breaths. Sakura pinned Ami to the blazing wall and allowed Voldemort to approach. Directing the tip of his wand at her throat, Voldemort said harshly, "Tell me where you have hidden the---ayyiii!!!!"
A burned Kyo had come behind Voldemort and twisted his wand hand out of place. He heard a snap. Taking Voldemort's wand, he tossed it into the flames. Voldemort stared in shock and dismay.
Fai grabbed Voldemort by Kurogane's shirt colar. "Do you think you can beat me with your bare hands?"
"You'll regret this!" Voldemort howled, raising his left fist to strike him. But his body would not obey his commands. "Why do I feel. So. Weak?"
Fai punched Voldemort in the face. "Kurogane's soul was cursed. He was forbidden to ever kill needlessly. Now you will pay the price of your actions!" Fai focused on the stunned opponent. "Spirit Wave Orb! Purify!" Fai touched Kurogane's chest with two fingers. Voldemort's essense rose from Kurogane's body restoring Kurogane to his body. A faint image of Voldemort lingered in the underground room. "Be gone!" Fai demanded.
The ghost vanished.
"And stay out." Kurogane added.
Fai looked at Kurogane with a smile. "I thought you would be gone forever."
Kurogane shook his head. "Shut up. Look over there. Your purifying tactic has restored everyone here."
Fai was startled and turned to see the scorching flames begin to die under a cool blue haze that had been created by the Spirit Wave. Beneath the fire, the prisoners stood up and looked at each other in wonder at the miracle.
Fai smiled. "In the face of evil and death, the spirit wave was able to draw the power of revitilization." He slumped backward in exhaustion.
"Easy now," Kurogane said, helping him to his feet. "You have to get out of this with us, or I'll be really angry."
"Right. Sorry, Kuro-pon." Fai stood and turned to Ami. "Where DID you leave the feathers any way?"
Ami laughed, supporting an unconscious Sakura. "I went to japan for three minutes using that spell you taught us, and I put them somewhere safe."
"That spirit stuff really works!" Kurogane said, looking at his arm in surprise. Although Kyo had broken it when Kurogane was under Voldemort's control, it was perfectly fine now.
"Kuro-whoof!Ami was talking. Shhh!"
Ami laughed. "It's okay. Anyway, I'll go get the feather's now."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
New chapter! Enjoy!
The friends found that, even with Snape there, they weren't able to gather the information they needed. Sakura had abandoned the technique:hide, and decided that strength in numbers also helped. Fai had returned, so they didn't have to worry about Snape teaching DADA . The second quarter students in Hufflepuff and Gryffinfor had potions class substituted by Herbology.
With Professor Sprout gone , Hagrid took her place. Hagrid resembled how Kyo had envisioned a giant would be. Despite being a tall man, Hagrid was a gentle man, with a ridiculous obsession for dangerous magical creatures. So far, all they hd learned from him what you should do if: You wanted your plants to die, your flowers to wilt, or a man-eating plant to eat less people.
Since Ami was in Ravenclaw, she still had to suffer through Snape's harsh potions classes. But, she could also spy on him in person. Everyone rejoyced when they saw Fai, but he looked terribly distant and weak. Kyo overheard other hufflepuffs say that Fai was afraid that whatever had happened to Kurogane, would soon happen to him. Sakura thought Fai was concerned for Kurogane's well-being, and Sakura reminded him that Fai depended on Kurogane for blood. Of course, they decided it would be better not to reveal to Kyo that Fai was a vampire. Despite his weakness, Fai continued increasing his students' skill in defensive magic until he was sure they could handle anything from a tall cliff to a three headed dragon. " You will need your magic in tough situations." He told them, and Kyo couldn't agree more.
--------------------------------------
Fai smiled. "What's on your mind, Syaoran."
Syaoran grinned. "You could tell, huh? Oh, I was just thinking about what Kurogane once asked. 'I wonder where the real Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher is.' Now other teachers are vanishing too. Maybe we can add this as clue? There could be a connection."
Fai nodded. "You have a point, but won't it confuse your new friends if you tell them I'm not really their teacher?"
Syaoran chuckled. " I don't believe there's anything that coul.d surprise them now."
Fai continued to nodd and took it under consideration. Perhaps they were onto something. The teacher disappearances may be the key.
--------------------------------------------
"Happy Valentine's Day!!!" Sakura woke up with a start. People were talking very loudly downstairs. Sleepily, she slipped into her robes and glanced at the magical calendar on her wall. The page said, "February 14- Valentine's day." Sakura couldn't believe that she'd forgotten. Sakura took out a paper and quill and wrote, " Dear Syaoran.... I am thankful for all youv'e done for me. For you, I promise that I will one day remember everything about you... and myself. You're so caring and always know how I feel, nd I cherish every moment we spend together. Your BFF, Sakura." And of course, there was Kyo's letter to write. " Dear Kyo, I'm so happy that you wanted to be my friend at the beginning of the year. I felt so lost and alone when Syaoran was placed in Gryffindor, and I don't think I could have pulled through without you. So when's the next Quidditch match? Do you know? I sure don't. I practice with the team after school everyday, but I can never remember the skirmish dates.Yours Truly, Sakura.
She laughed at herself, realizing how much she enjoyed signing her name. It also never occured to her how important names were. Suddenly, images and voices grew loud in her mind, swirling around in a dizzying fashion.Then, she was in a familiar scene. The prefect and Snape were talking about her. " The girls name," the prefect was saying, "that is all you need, right?"
Snape nodded, " Once I have her name, I can make that potion you need." Sakura's eyes widened.
The prefect smiled a smile one wears when he is enjoying an execution. " The girl's name... It's Sakura." Sakura watched in horror as Snape bowed low before him. Kabuto told him to rise and Snape left the room. Slowly she was drawn out of the memory and felt herself fall back into her own feet, that still rested upon the ground of the hufflepuff dormintory. Syaoran had told her once before that she had unawakened powers. Had what she seen possibly have been real? If it had, that meant Snape worked for the prefect, not the other way around. Sakura remembered seeing herself and Kyo leaving the room when the playback had begun, which suggested it was not a true memory. Talk about De ja vu, Sakura thought. It was as though she saw what had transpired in the Great Hall after she went to try out for Quidditch. Collecting the notes she had written, Sakura hastily left the common room.
-------------------------------
Dumbledore sat at the front of the Great Hall, Sakura at a long table therein. The very same table had been part of the background of her daymare.
"Happy Valentine's day," Dumbledore said cheerfully. He couldn't have known of the dark cloud over Sakura's sunny thoughts, but his bright voice still seemed misplaced to her. "The cupids Hagrid hired will deliver all of your notes to that special someone. On a darker note...I'm sorry to inform you that as long as the teachers are missing, you cannot go anywhere unplanned off campus or through the halls without a prefect. This is for your own safety."
Sakura saw Syaoran frown, but she knew he couldn't understand how terrible this news really was.. After seeing what she had, Sakura had to warn him about the ever-increasingly-disturbing Gryffindor prefect.
" House points have been calculated once more. First place: Gryffindor. Second place: Ravenclaw. Third place is a tie between Hufflepuff and Slytherin."
Sakura dashed o the Gryffindor table. Syaoran was blushing. " Sakura--"
She interrupted him. "I have to tell everyone something VERY important. This cannot wait!" Together, they snuck out of the dining hll as the cupids began their deliveries. Kyo followed.
"What's up?" Syaoran asked when somehow the whole group had managed to meet in Fai's office. Sakura wasn't sure how to say what was on her mind. " The prefect, Kabuto, he's different than we thought."
"Innocent?"
Sakura stood on top of on of the chairs. "No! Not innocent... More guilty. We had it wrong though, he doesn't work for Snape. Snape works for him."
"Are you sure," Syaoran asked, feeling no need at the moment to question how she had gotten the new information. Sakura nodded. The rest watched as Syaoran pondered in his mind what this meant. " All of you, from Gryffindor, act like nothing is different. Snape only knows that Sakura, Kyo and I are friends. No one else knows that you girls even interact with us, do they?"
Ami spoke, "We never really speak about them, do we?" The other girls, all of whom were in Gryffindor, not Ravenclaw with Ami, agreed.
Syaoran relaxed. "Good. If anything, this can work to our advantage. If Kabuto heads somewhere, tell him you are going the same direction, and he'll have to accompany you there, with that new "never alone" rule. See where he goes."
The rest nodded and headed back to breakfast in the chaos of gifts and letters before they were missed. "Sakura-chan," Syaoran said, " I don't want you to spy. Keep safe.Oh!" Sakura watched him pull out a box of chocolates. "Only for you, Valentine," He said.
Sakura hugged him happily. " Thank you!." He opened that cupid shoved into his hand. When he was done reading it, it looked like tears were in his eyes. Not of joy, of despair.
"What's wrong?" Sakura asked, fearing the worst. Maybe I shouldn't have included the part about remembering him, she thought. But, Syaoran wasn't upset about that. His tears were for how much she had lost.
"It's okay, Syaoran-kun. Whatever it is will turn out fine in the end. I'm sure we'll be alright."
Syaoran dried his eyes. Of course she was right, like always.
The next Chapter was short so I thought I'd post it way early! Enjoy!
Chapter 14: Ami joins the Gang!
December passed quickly by, and there was still no sign of Snape. Syaoran realized there was nothing they could do if Snape had the feather until he was found. That said, the mystery of the feathers would have to wait. They had ran into Ami several times in two weeks and each time she was eager to inquire what they were up to.
With new year's eve beginning to approach, the three not being able to see Kurogane and Fai, they began to frequently write each other letter with the invisible ink. Sakura recieved one from Mokona and automatically said "thank you". Words rose onto the page, signed with the Hogwarts seal. "It's from Fai!"
Sakura read it to herself and then said aloud, "Mokona, Fai says that he and Kurogane have been in meetings everyday and they are sorry they can't spend time with us. He asks about the plan and says he'll be leaving on an errand. He should be back by the middle of January."
Mokona nodded; it already was aware of the trip Fai had planned in order to study deeper magic. It was a mystery however, as to what Fai planned to do with this knowledge, as it was no secret that he disliked using his gifts.
Sakura wrote a reply message, including the plan and her greetings. Laterm Sakura had been informed that somehow, Ami had gotten a hold of the letter. And then then stopped running into her throughout the corridors. Syaoran figured that Ami wouldn't know the password to reveal the secret ink, but worried nonetheless. He told everyone to form a "plan B" in case plan "A" failed. Plan A was to find Snape, and take the feather back forcefully. As they feared, the spy, as Syaoran called Ami, found out what they were scheming.
Kyo reassured Syaoran that Ami was in fact a "good guy." "You didn't trust me before, remember? And she hasn't done anything harmful like the Gryffindor prefect!" Kyo stopped now to think. " That prefect was suspicious, wasn't he?"
"What?" Syaoran asked, not hearing the mutter.
"Nothing."
Since they couldn't find Ami, they decided to spend the rest of their time outside in the snow. Yusuke, Sakura Haruno, Rukia, and Ino began returning to school, hoping to make a head start on assignments. It was obvious that Ami had told the rest of them about the "Voldemort fighter groups'" plans.
"Well," Kyo said, "at least they are on our side. They swore to never tell anyone else about our secret if we would only let them help us, so.... I gave in."
Syaoran groaned. " Great. Oh well, the more the merrier?"
Ami admitted that she had looked into their claims and found evidence that Harry's final attack may not have been enough to kill Voldemort. " I want to help if I can!"
--------------------------------------------------------------
New Years came, followed by fireworks and food. The group longed for school to begin. Maybe Snape would come back. After all, he wasn't there for Halloween, so maybe... just maybe... he had left to avoid all the holidays. Kyo disagreed with this theory, however, and believed that Snape was out rounding up the death eaters to see his master rise to power. The group knew that they knew the sorcerer's plans in a nut shell, and that hey had been able to discipher most of the mysteries, but the frame of the jig saw puzzle escaped them.
The whole situation was driving them crazy. When school began the next day,
things should have returned to normal. But they didn't.
" Ah, Sakura! I was hoping I'd find you here," said the headmaster standing in the doorway. "The quidditch match against Ravenclaw has been canceled because Professor Snape has gone missing. The staff is currently searching the castle for him but there seems to be no sign of him anywhere. Anyway, I'm sorry to say there won't be a quidittch match today." Dumbledore looked sympathetic and, after a long sigh, left the room.
Fai pondered what Snape's disappearance could mean. "Perhaps he is in hiding? Or maybe he went back to being dead somewhere?"
A magic clock on the wall indicated that it was time for Defense Against the Dark Arts class (DADA). "Again?"
Syaoran asked Fai what was wrong.
" It is such short notice! It happened twice yesterday, too! I'm just relaxing when all of a sudden this clock turns from "free time" to "class time". Fai held up his schedule for all to see. Slowly the letters R-a-v-e-n-c-l-a-w apeared on a once blank page. Syaoran blinked as students in blue robes entered the room. Sakura flushed with embarrassment in her bumblebee-like outft.
Fai appologized and the others left the room.
The next few days were uneventful. The climate became colder and Sakura began to spend more time indoors. One time, when she had been in the dormitory, she had espied the locked drawer which contained the locket and walked towards it. She got an uncanny bad feeling about it though when she got close to it, and decided not to tamper with the lock.
Fai told them that they had been to busy being worried about feathers to have any fun. "Since it IS the beginning of a cold fall season, we should all go out and enjoy the snow!" He said.
Following his advice, they all were soon outside catching snow flakes on their tongue. Syaoran made a snowman with Kyo, and Sakura made an angel in the snow. Meanwhile, Rukia, Sakura Haruno, Yusuku, Ino, Fai, and Kurogane were engaged in a full out snowball war. Fai, Yusuke, and Rukia were on one team, and Kurogane, Ino and Sakura Haruno were on the other. Sakura, Kyo and Syaoran soon had their own team formed. Kyo was quick to build a snow barricade and Sakura's team gratefully ducked behind it as snowballs wizzed past them.
Fai's team surrendered after Kurogane pelted them with hundreds of snowballs and Sakuras team also raised the white flag soon after.
"HAHAHA!" Kurogane laughed, "Feel my wrath! I'm unstoppable!!!"
It was then that Kyo "accidentally" pushed over the giant snow man.
Before Kurogane could react, it fell on him, burying him in a heap of snow.
It was finally Halloween and the school was spookily decorated with skulls and bats. Fai was so creeped out that he adorned his office with christmas lights! When Sakura awoke, she reached into her closet and pulled out her clow outfit, so that she looked just like a princess. Fai put on his magician attire before he went to breakfast, and Kurogane changed into his ninja robes. With the whole school disguising themselves, it was hard to tell who was who! When sakura took a seat at the Halloween banquet, she realized the beautiful vampire seated beside her was actually Kyo! Sakura didn't have to scan the room long to find Syaoran's head. He was wearing the green hood that went with his archeologist costume.
Before the food could be eaten, Dumbledore delivered a speech. " Before we begin, let us analyze the house points! Griffendore is leading with 135 points, Hufflepuff is close behind with 112 points, Ravenclaw is third place with 56 points, and Slytherin is falling behind with only 48 points. Congratulations to Griffenfore, but remember, anything can happen at this point in the year!"
Syaoran applauded with the rest of his group and a couple of claps from Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff join him in a scattered manner. The headmaster held up his hand for silence. "Also, I ask that you continue to keep your eyes out for our missing potions master. If you have any information regarding his location, please report it to me or the head of your house. That's all! Enjoy the feast!"
The school immediately began to eat, and Sakura ate to her hearts content. Syaoran waited for Mokona to enter the room with the rest of the owls, as soon as he could not eat another bite. As expected, they came, and Syaoran attached a letter to Mokona's feet. Mokona took it quickly to Sakura who opened it at once. "Happy Halloween," it read. "Most of the kids are leaving for the following days of Holiday break. Kyo has agreed to stay here at the school with us, just in case we need him, or something happens."
Sakura sent him the letter bak to him, replying, "Happy Halloween to you too! I'm kinda afraid of Snape. Where do you think he is?"
Sakura's answer worried Syaoran. No one knew where Snape had gone. All
Syaoran could do was not let his guard down. He reminded Sakura and the rest that the holidays would be the perfect time for Snape to make his move. "He will lure us into a false sense of security, but we wll not fall for the bait!"
