Hidden Truths:
Chapter One
At first it was dark, then Sakura opened her eyes and looked around. She was in a cave. There was no one around her at the time. Continuing to explore her surroundings, Sakura came upon a crevise in the rock. It was just big enough for a person of her size to get through. She was about to enter when she felt somthing. She closed her eyes and tried to sense if it was a clow card. Not sensing anything, Sakura opened her eyes and gasped. Standing in front of her was Li Showrun. He looked the same, but he didn't feel right.
"Li is everything okay?" She asked.
Li said nothing. His eyes started to glow red and he raised his sword from it's sheath and held it vertically in front of him. "Force know my blight, release the light. LIGHTNING!!" He yelled. He called upon his attack and Sakura braced for impact. Then everything went white and Sakura heard Kero's voice.
"Sakura!! Wake up!! Sakura!!" He yelled.
Sakura bolted up and rammed into Kero with her head. He fell down on the top of the bed and she rubbed her head.
"I really have to wake you up from a distance next time." Kero said as he got up.
"Sorry Kero." Sakura said. "I was having a nightmare."
Kero flew up as Sakura brought her knees to her chest. He landed on her knees nad looked at her. "What kind of nightmare would scare you so much?"
Sakura looked off into space and started to tell Kero what she saw in her dream. "I was in a cave somwhere when I saw Li. He was different somehow. It was him but somehow it wasn't. Anyway, I saw his eyes start to glow red, then he attacked me. I don't understand. Li's always the one protecting me. Why would I have a dream where he attacked me? It doesn't make any sense."
Kero seemed to think for a bit. "Maybe it wasn't him. Like you said, it seemed like him."
Sakura shook her head. "Do you think it's meant to tell me that Li will turn on me?"
Kero shrugged. "It might. This dream of the future thing is very schetchy stuff."
"Well, maybe I'll tell him at school and see what he thinks." She suggested.
Sakura was still uneasy about it. She automatically looked down at the necklace that was around her neck. It had a small book on it, with a staff and a sword on it. Li had given it to her last Christmas. It made her think of the clow book, her staff together with Li's sword. Together they would eventually find all the cards. This thought brought her comfort enough to face the day.
Sakura got dressed and left her house to go to school, while Kero stayed at the house playing video games. Sakura got to school and met Madison there.
"Hey Sakura! How are you?" She asked.
Sakura shrugged her shoulders, "Alright I guess. I just had a bad dream last night."
Sakura told her about the dream and what she thought it meant. "Wow." Madison said when she was done. "You don't think Li would actually do something like that, do you?"
"No, but what else could it mean?"
Before Madison could answer they reached class. Li arrived a little later. "Hi Sakura!" Sakura looked up with a worrid expression. Li noticed, "What's wrong?"
"I'll tell you later ok?" She replied.
Li didn't say anything. He just nodded his head and took his seat behind her.
'I wonder what has her so worried?' He thought.
At lunch, Sakura took Li to a tree in the yard and sat down. She proceeded to tell him about her dream. Li was speechless when she finished. He couldn't believe ever hurting her. If anything he would give his life to save her. He felt something for her, but wasn't sure it was love. He just never decided to tell her. "I would never hurt you Sakura. You have to know that."
Sakura looked up and stared into his eyes and immediatly found herself thinking about the dream. She turned away, not being able to look any longer. "I know, it's just...."
"You're scared." He finished.
Li thought about the dream. "Where do you think the cave was?"
Sakura thought for a moment. "I don't know, but it seemed familiar, somehow."
The bell rang and they returned to class. Now both were worried about the dream. Is this what the future held?
After school, Sakura walked home with Madison like she normally did, but today was different. She had the feeling something was following her. She thought it was a card, but couldn't sense anything.
"Sakura? Are you there?" Madison asked.
Sakura snapped out of her trance. "What?"
"Are you still thinking about that dream?"
Sakura shook her head. "I just have a strange feeling......"
"Because you are a card captor." A voice said from behind them.
Both girls turned around and saw a figure standing there. It was in a black cape that had a crimson inside. His skin was ghost white and he was carrying a staff. Sakura instictivly jumped in front of Maidison. "Who are you!" She demanded.
"I am Shaulin. And you are the card captor Sakura." It replied. The voice was deep and sounded masculin.
"What's it to you!" She didn't like the character at all.
"I am going to use you to get my revenge!" He was now yelling. His staff started to glow and it sprayed a mist at the two girls. Sakura put her hands up to defend her self, but nothing happened. Madison fell next to her. Sakura kneeled at her side. "Madison!" The girl didn't respond. Sakura turned to the creature. "What have you done to her!"
"I simply put her to sleep. She has nothing to do with this. This has to do with you, me, and Li Showrun."
Sakura gasped. "You will do nothing to harm him!" She took out her key and called upon her staff. It was there and she went into a defensive stance. "Now bring my friend back!"
"Oh, I don't think so, Clow Mistress. I still need you and your male counterpart." He raised his staff and from it came a firey attack. Sakura used the jump card to get out of the way. She had grabbed Madison and placed her behind a tree, hopfully keeping her safe.
"You leave me no choice!" Sakura brought out the Sword Card. "Sword Card! Release and dispell!" A sword appeared in her hand and she knew how to use it.
The figure attacked with his staff, but Sakura parried the blow. He tried to trip her, but she moved out of the way.
"Very good, Mistress. You are a prize to be cherished." Shaulin said.
"I am no one's prize!" Sakura countered.
"O, contrare. You're my prize!" Shaulin began chanting words in an unfamiliar languge. Sakura sword returned to it's card form and Sakura's staff flew from her hand and landed in the grass. It turned back into the key. "Now! You will come with me!" Shaulin threw his staff into the air and it shot a dart it's tip at Sakura.
Sakura felt the dart hit her arm and everything went black.
Shaulin approached her and cover her with his cape. "Now with you, Mistress, my revenge will be fofilled!" Sakura disappeared under the cloak and Shaulin disappeared too. All that was left was a sleeping Madison, Sakura's key, and her necklace.
