Chapter 1
Back Again... but Why?
"Everyone, please take your seat," the teacher called. We all sat down and I looked over at Tomoyo who was waving frantically to me. She made several hand gestures, trying to tell me something, but I couldn't understand her. I shook my head and the teacher called out, "Miss Kinomoto is there a problem?"
"No sir, sorry," I said.
"Anyway today we have a new- sorry, returning student. Please welcome back Eriol Hiiragizawa," the teacher said. The all too familiar dark haired, glasses wearing boy walked gracefully into the classroom.
"Ehhh?" the class shouted in unison. I was about ready to jump out of my seat and looked over at Syaoran who was deathly pale and staring with wide eyes at Clow's reincarnation.
"It is nice to be back," Eriol said bowing slightly.
"Good, well then take your old seat next to Li okay?" the teacher asked. Eriol nodded and drifted down the isle of desks. He paused next to my desk, slipped something into my lap, smiled, and then walked past me to his seat. I looked down and found a plain white envelope sitting in my lap. I carefully opened it under my desk and found a short note inside that said:
Dear Miss Sakura,
I know you must be confused by my recent return. Please meet me at our usual spot at lunch. I will try to explain things to you there,
-Eriol
I turned slightly and nodded then turned back to the front of the class where the teacher was talking about linear equations. The rest of the day past in a blink of an eye and the bell rang signaling that it was lunch time. I grabbed my lunch bag and headed outside to a little clearing next to the school. I found Eriol waiting for me with a gentle smile on his face.
"Hello again Miss Sakura," he called softly.
"Hello Eriol," I whispered back.
"I know you must be confused by the recent turn of events, but I must ask you to be patient. I cannot tell you why I'm here right now," Eriol said. I nodded the coughed gently into my hand. I had this cough for several days and I was beginning to wonder when it would go away. Eriol looked at me sadly and whispered, "And so it begins."
"What begins? What's going on?" I asked worriedly. Eriol paused the rubbed his chin thoughtfully. Finally he said, "If you could manage it, would you mind coming to my house with Kero and Yue?"
"I thought that your house was... destroyed," I said frowning.
"It was easily rebuilt with a little magic," Eriol said.
"Can I bring Tomoyo and Syaoran too?" I asked.
"That would be delightful. Come to my house at five, I will prepare dinner so tell your father you are going to be staying a little late," Eriol said. I nodded making a mental note in my head. The bell rang and we both looked up.
"Let's head back to class," he said and held out a hand, helping me up. I nodded and we headed back to the classroom.
**Break line***
"What?" Syaoran exclaimed, as he listened to my explanation of things.
"Of course we'll come," Tomoyo said grabbing my hands. We nodded and went home preparing. I roller skated home that would have put any race car to shame.
"KERO!" I shouted as I ran in, throwing my shoes off.
"Whoa kiddo, what's up?" the tiny stuffed animal asked as I ran around grabbing the Sakura cards.
"Eriol's back," I said.
"What?" Kero demanded. I grabbed him by the scruff and ran down stairs.
"We need to go Get Yue," I said throwing back on my roller blades. I pelted down street after street until I got to Yukito's house, drenched in sweat. I coughed into my hand and Kero peeked out of my pocket.
"You okay there kiddo?" he asked worriedly. I nodded and rang the door bell.
"Hello?" Yukito's voice rang through the intercom.
"Yukito, I'm sorry to bother you, but it's urgent," I said. The door swung open and Yukito ran outside.
"What's wrong?" he asked.
"Yue, come forth," I ordered. Two white wings enveloped Yukito and when they opened Yue stood before us.
"What is it?" he asked.
"Eriol's back," I said. He froze, and then narrowed his eyes.
"We need to go to his house immediately," I continued. He nodded, picked me up in his arms, and flew off. We landed at Eriol's doorstep where Tomoyo and Syaoran were waiting. We all looked at each other and I knocked on the door. I swung open instantly and Mrs. Mizuki stood there smiling and said, "Come in."
We nodded and took off our shoes in the entry way. The house looked exactly like the original, from the wallpaper to the red arm chair that Eriol sat in. Ruby Moon and Spinal Sun stood on either side of Eriol. Yue and Kero stiffened and Kero changed into his true form.
"Hello again Yue, Cerberus, Miss Daidouj, Syaoran. I know you might be confused, but I would like to speak to Miss Sakura alone. Refreshments are in the other room," he said. Syaoran and Yue began to protest but Mrs. Mizuki grabbed their arms and dragged them into the dining room. Tomoyo hesitated then followed, Cerberus at her side. Ruby Moon and Spinal Sun flew out and shut the door behind them.
"Take a seat," Eriol said and waved his hand. A wooden chair flew over from the corner and landed in front of him. I sat down slowly and broke into another fit of coughing.
"Miss Sakura, I know this is a very demanding request, but your fate, the fate of both Yue and Cerberus, and of the Sakura Cards depend on this. I need for you to open the power to see into the future," he said. I froze, wasn't that supposed to be a very dangerous power.
"I know what you are thinking. But, I have seen bits and pieces of a devastating future. I cannot see the full picture because I gave half of my powers to my other self. That's why I need you to please do this," he said. I stared thoughtfully at him for a minute then stood up and smiled warmly at him.
"I'm sure I'll be okay," I said the shouted, "RELEASE."
My wand grew and I clasped it firmly in my hand.
"Repeat after me... Eyes to the future," he began.
"Eyes to the future,"
"Let me see,"
"Let me see,"
"Time eternal,"
"Time eternal,"
"As to be," he finished.
"As to be," I whispered. Then air picked up around and enveloped me into a cocoon.
"Now look into your future," Eriol said. I nodded and closed my eyes.
*VISION*
I stood in mid-air next to a hospital bed. On the bed was... me! I stared in shock at myself. Yue and Kero stood next to me looking down at me concerned. Eriol, Tomoyo, Syaoran, Dad, and Toya stood right behind them. The Sakura Cards danced around my head; they were worried. My heart monitor suddenly made one long beeping sound and Yue and Kero began to crumble into dust with the Sakura Cards. NO! I thought. I had died, and the cards and Yue and Kero died with me. I can't let that happen, I thought and forced myself back to the present.
*END OF VISION*
I woke up in cold sweat on the floor. I looked around and found Eriol kneeling beside me, a sad look on his face.
"You saw it too?" I asked shakily. He nodded and sat back on his heels. I grabbed his hand and said, "I know how to change the future."
