~~~~~~~~ WOOT!!! The story is almost done pplz. just wait a little longer ^^. Ok no matter how much quaters i put into the wishing Card Captor Sakura and Tsubasa Characters will and do NOT belong to me. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~ Land of Clow ( duh!)~~~~
Even though i was not being forced to, i still could not get out of the habit of cleaning the house. While doing this i was thinking of how to ask my stepmother if i could go to the ball, I mean it was only a DAY away! While trying to think of a way to ask i heard a huge thump outside. I rushed to see what was wrong. i went out side and to my suprise i saw two men on the ground. One was tall, blonde, and wearing all white, the other had spikey black hair and black clothes on ( A/N :I'll give you 3 guesses lol!). They got up and wiped the dirt from their clothes. And to my suprise some type of rabbit thing poped out from behind the black guy. " You white manju bun!! can't you land us with some diignity left!" the man screamed at the rabbit ting." Puu! were in the Land of Clow again!" i was even more suprised as the thing talked! Then the blonde man spoke." We were just here when we droped Sakura-chan and Syaoran-kun off." When he said the names of the princess and prince ( A/N : through marraige of course!) of Clow i spoke up. " You know the prince and prince of clow!?" i said suprised. The man wearing all black turned around to face me. " You mean the brat and princess are the prince and princess of Clow now? i wonder how long we have been gone." The tall blonde man in turn said. " Oh i'm sorry Kuro-pii was so rude." he said with a smile." Wer'e travelers. I'm Fai, thisd cute thing is mokona, Mr. Black over there is Kuro-poo!" " I AM KUROGANE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" said kurogane in obvious annoyance. " Hi i am shannon would you like to stay and rest at my house, and maybe you can tell me how you know the prince and princess of Clow." i said as i showed them to my house.
~~~Tsubasa's group P.O.V~~~~
" i wonder how much time has past since we left?" Kurogane whipered to Fai. " i don't know, but is it just me or does or host Shannon look ALOT like Sakura-chan and Syaoran-kun?" " Your'e right she has sakura's hair, syoaran's eyes and acts like them to!" said Mokona in his shouting yet whispering at the same time tone. " Do you think-" Fai began as he was interuppted by Shannon." Mother! i found some travelers, is it ok if they stay until they are ready to leave the next day?" a chubby and some what unnaturally blonde woman came down" NO! " screamed the women as she clenched her fists and looked like she was about to hit the young girl, but then she thought better of it. " no deary we don't know where the have been." she said in a sorta sweter voice. " But... they know the prince and princess!" protested Shannon. The woman's eye's seemed to change and filled with........ one could only describe as greed. " Oh.... then they can stay as long as the like! plz won't you have dinner with us?" And before the group knew it they were having dinner with the rest of the family. " So.. how exactly DO you know the prince and princess?" started up one of the daughter's who looked exactly like their mother. " Well me and kuro-pii traveled with Syoaran-kun and Sakura-chan." " you mean you are the people that traveled with the prince and princess for a long peroid of time 15 year's ago?" said the father that had grey hair and huge glasses. " So that's how long its been..." started off Fai " Well i see the got married did they?" " Ya, whatever i heared that they have a daughter too." said one of the other daughter's rudley as Shannon served the food. " No Sweetie, HAD a daughter, some one kidnapped her exactly 15 years tommorrow." said the mother. And then the only other sane person in the family besides Shannon as far as the group was conserned spoke up." Yes, on the same day we found dear Shannon."
~~ back to Shannon's P.O.V ~~
" Yes, on the same day we found dear Shannon." Granny said camly. " WHAT!!!!" cried Kurogane, Fai, Mokona, And Shannon simutaneously. " You people arn't shannon's parents?!" Cried the travelers. " The prince and princess had a daughter that was kidnapped on the same day i was found?!!!!" i said as i fell downspillling everyone's dinner. Then my beloved golden necklace fell from its hiding place. i took it and placed it back in its hiding place hoping no one had seen it. She looked around and saw no change in any one's expression. I sighed hoping i could keep my secret a little longer.
~~~~~~~~~
~~ Tsubasa's group P.O.V~~
Although it was out for only a single second, Shannon was wrong that no one saw it. " Did you see whhat mokona just saw?" asked the cute Mokona Modoki. " yes it was some kind of neck lace that had an insegia of the princess's wings on it." Kurogane stated camly. " Do you think -" Fai started. " Whatever it means we should probably learn more about the situation before making conclusions. We should probably check with the brat and the princess to get out facts straight." " whyuuuuu... Your'e so cool Kuro-pii!" Fai exclaimed. He then sat up straight from the table. " Thank you for feeding us and helping us , we should probably go over to the castle and catch up we our friends.' and with that the group was off.
~~~Ok AGAIN back to Shannon's P.O.V~~~~
~~ Day that follows up to night of ball~~~
Ok you can do it Shannon. Just ask her, i'm sure everything will be alright. This is the perfect time, right before they leave to shop for the ball. " Umm... Mother?" " Yes?!" she said, she had stopped acting nice to me and was acting like she did before. Oh well it was good while it lasted. " Um.... could i maybe got to the ball too?" She seemed to dwell on this for a moment. Then she said if you finish all of the chores and help your stepsisters get ready. " But then i won't have time to prepa--" " Don't you WANT to go?!" she shouted and then left with her daughters snorting with laughter behind her.
It took me 6 hours to finish all of the chores and another 2 hours to help my step sisters get redy. But i did it all i really didn't want to dissapoint tomoyo after all the hard work she had done and.. also i sorta wanted to go to hte ball myself. I mean who WOULDN"T want to? So after all the hard work i went to my mother and told her i had finished.
She looked me over and said" YOu did to everything..... but look how filthy you are, I mean you don't even have a dress! You would just be an embarresment. So NO." and she headed out the door with only one more sentence. " And you BETTER be home by the time we get back at 1:00 with food prepared."
I couldn't believe it. After All the work i had done. Not even Granny could help me, she was out seeing an old friend. I didn't even realize i was crying until i felt the tears dropping on my hands. Even if i snuck out all the time to get ready, and i would STILL have to be home before they do. I could never to it. Then i heard a knock on the door. And in came in the last person i had expected to see.
End of Chapter
