Chapter 1: What now?
It was just past midnight in the quiet town of Tomoeda and everything was silent. In the centre of Penguin Park stood 2 figures facing back to back; tensely awaiting something with stiff postures and narrowed eyes.
Suddenly, a loud crash was heard just off to the right, behind the forest. The trees were bent back as they groaned in protest.
"Now!" The girl yelled. She threw a card into the air and placed her star wand underneath. The wings at the side of the circle enlarged and the card started glowing. Beside her, the boy was readying his sword.
"Sword!" She called; transforming her wand into a sword.
Together, they ran at a giant blob of slime; whose deformed face had just appeared over the tips of the trees.
They slashed and cut at it but to no avail. It would just keep on regenerating every time it was sliced.
Sakura and Shaoran fell back; beads of sweat covering their foreheads.
"How about I cut him and you can burn him with Fiery? It's just like those myths in Ancient Greece; he probably won't be able to regenerate that way."
Sakura nodded once and turned to face the disgusting monster. She watched as her boyfriend cut it across the middle and tightened her grip on her star wand. Again, she threw a different card in the air.
"Fiery!"
The face of the card rippled. Almost immediately, the bust of a woman appeared with orange tinged skin and 2 large orange wings rising up into the sky. She dove at the slime monster; a long tail of fire trailing behind her as her hands formed a large fireball which she threw at it.
Quickly, it incinerated it without much struggle. It roared it's last protest and it's ashes flew away with the wind.
Sakura grinned happily. The fire woman headed back towards her master and glowed lightly; turning back into a card once more. A small plushie with tiny wings flew up to her with a nameless book in his small paws.
"Great job Sakura! Your control over the cards have improved. You didn't even have to tell Fiery what to do."
She rubbed the back of her head sheepishly as the nameless book floated lightly in mid-air before it, too, turned back into a card.
A beautiful, black haired girl walked up to them carrying a camcorder; Shaoran trailing behind her like a lost puppy.
"That was wonderful!" Tomoyo squealed with sparkles in her eyes. "Sakura, you looked so cute in that outfit~"
Sakura fell down with a sweat-drop on her head. Shaoran just shook his head at Tomoyo's antics. He reached his hand down to help his girlfriend up.
"You really do look cute though." Shoaran murmured; his face taking on a light pink glow.
Sakura blushed beet red, but smiled at him in response. "T-thank you." She stuttered.
Tomoyo, of course, had turned on her camcorder and had filmed the whole scene. She glanced up in surprise. What was the black hole that was steadily growing larger behind Kero? He had flown over to the 2 preteens and was teasing them relentlessly. This fact was being shown clearly by their flushed faces. Tomoyo widened her eyes alarm and opened her mouth to alert him of the strange black hole.
Kero didn't even notice his tail inching towards the portal. It was only when his whole body began moving towards it was when he realized it's presence.
He slowly turned around. "Uh oh…"
Like quicksand, it rapidly sucked in Kero's body until only the front half of his body was visible.
"Sakura!" He yelled desperately; grabbing at the air in an attempt to pull himself out.
The young master of the Sakura cards sprang into action and snatched his paws with both hands; pulling with all her strength. Unfortuneately, she tripped on an ill-placed rock and sent both of them tumbling into the dark, endless, hole.
"No!" Shaoran shouted; lunging forwards to grab her ankles. His fingers just brushed the heel of her shoe before she vanished altogether. She was gone, and he didn't protect her.
Tomoyo stared wide-eyed at the spot where her best friend last occupied. But being the level-headed one, she had to keep it together.
"We should go to my house and call Eriol-kun." She stated. Only the lightest tremble in her voice betraying her worry.
Shaoran clenched his fists together and nodded stiffly. If he opened his mouth, he was sure to shout out his frustrations.
"Lets' go."
They had just arrived in a new world and Kurogane, as usual, was at the bottom of the pile. Fai came next, followed closely by Syaoran and Sakura-hime landing on top.
"Why can't you ever land properly?" Kurogane yelled at what appeared to white manjuu bun.
"Mokona can't control where we land!" it cried happily.
"Why you—!" The black ninja swiped at Mokona; only to have it jump away and land neatly on Fai's shoulder.
"Aww… is Kuro-pon angry?" He teased.
"Don't call me that!"
In the background, Syoaran was helping the delicate princess up. She wearily blinked her eyes open and accepted his help. "Mokona." He called. "Are there any feathers in this world?"
The manjuu bun opened it's eyes widely. "Mekyo! There's a feather in this world."
Syaoran smiled gently. "That's good."
Fai spoke up. "Hmm…there doesn't appear to be any civilization here. Why don't we set up camp first?"
The teenager nodded in response. It would probably be better if the princess rested before any strenuous activities. You never know what could happen.
"In fact," the magician continued, "Kuro-pon's so strong, he should go bring back some water for us!"
Fai grabbed 2 buckets and shoved them into the ninja's arms. This was all done with a happy grin on his face.
"Have a safe trip!"
Kurogane glared at him for a moment before walking away; grumbling about stupid people and life in general. The hot sun beat down on sped up to reach the cool shade the forest provided. This wasn't hard considering the hordes of trees that seemed to be everywhere. His footsteps crunched on the baked soil noisily. It was too peaceful, he decided.
Soon, about 10 minutes later, Kurogane reached a nearby river. 'I might as well get this over with.' He thought as he dunked the buckets under the water.
Suddenly, he could hear a very faint scream. It seemed to be coming from above him; but all that was above him was the sky. His hearing must have gotten worse. A small shadow fell over him, and that's when Kurogane started to feel alarmed. He only had time to look up, and see a pair of red shoes, before it crashed into him. And boy, did it hurt.
'That's the second time today!' He thought irritably.
The person sitting on his back crawled off and he opened his mouth to give him or her a piece of his mind. Kurogane stopped short when he realized that it was a young girl standing in front of him. She bore a startling resemblance to the princess; almost as if a younger version of her had come to the future. He was so caught up in his thoughts that he hadn't realized the girl was staring up at him and about to speak.
"Where am I?"
Please Review~ :)
