fan&fiction of Myrwin-chan
Warning: This is a story of a German! So sorry for the misunderstandings I will make lots of.(
This story is based on my own stories and I was only curious, what my heroes would do, if they met someone like Sakura & co. (O, I must admit, that I couldn't resist this temptation) And last but not least: this is my first fanfic, so be prepared! :P
This story begins, when Sakura is eleven years old, in the middle of the 8th book.
So the story shall begin!
Destiny's Child
Prologue: The "Kidnapping"
A dark haired boy with glasses named Eriol Hiiragizawa, once known as Clow Read, the greatest magician ever, went through the lonely streets in the early morning. At the moment he was thinking about his next strike for a little female Cardcaptor and so far he had really enjoyed watching the Cards mistress`s power grow stronger. She could really ...
A strange inkling shot into his thoughts, as if there was someone... or something... lurking for him. Slowly he turned around to the source of the aura, as a blinding light appeared only some steps before him.
„What...", he just managed to say, as the light was already approaching him. He knew, that this couldn`t be a good sign and released his staff as fast as he could.
The light stopped, hovering above him, threatingly. He supposed it was thinking about how to handle the shield he had always summoned, so it could get him... but what for?
He froze by the sight of the light forming a figure, blinding his eyes. Now the thing and the reincarnation of Clow Read stood motionless there, watching each other cautiously.
I think I should fight back, instead of just standing here...
Eyes closed, he spoke something under his breath and darkness started surrounding the strange light to suffocate it. The light seemed to be smothered with the dark he charmed, yet he didn`t trust that peace.
That was too easy...
He wasn`t surprised at all when his darkness dissolved out of sudden, a winged figure hovering silently there. The aura of it felt so incredibly strong, that Eriol stepped instinctively back, a strange smile featuring on his face.
I suppose I don`t have a chance..., he thought calmly, although he didn`t know what would now happen to him, while that light radiating from his winged opponent, blinded him painfully. The black haired boy covered his eyes quickly, his glasses reflecting the glow.
„ I just wonder why..." he whispered with a smile, as the magic of the creature bursted out, stronger than anything he had ever felt. The shape of his enemy seemed to smile by those words and stretched its hand out. He tried to protect himself with a shield of magic, although knowing it wouldn`t help.
He was right... he didn`t even have the chance to see a newcomer appearing out of nothing, dashing into the direction of his attacker as the light already hit him through his magic. Not noticing the furious scream of the little figure...
The sun had arised in Tomoeda, its beautiful rays having chased the night away to a far corner on its edge. The branches of the trees were trembling lightly in the cold breeze of the late winter.
A little girl skated with terrifying speed on the street to school, breaking into the peaceful silence, something muttering like "Aaah! Got up too late again!". Auburn hair shimmered in the still dim light of the morning, while the wind blew through her school uniform.
Although Sakura Kinomoto panted heavily, she was in her thoughts concerned about a lot of things which happened in the last few days...
Shaolan wanted to discuss yesterday night before school , but now I seem to miss him!
The emerald eyed girl remembered only too well that he had been very upset when she had gone out to fight the fog with a light fever...
But I had to fight it... and I wanted to find out more about this feeling of Clow`s presence...
Distracted, Sakura didn't realize the man diving up from nowhere behind her.
First when the little girl noticed the shadow darkening the ground before her she turned around, but it was too late... her big emerald eyes widened in terror...
Later in the classroom:
„Hey... did you notice that Eriol is missing today, too? Is he still sick?"
„ Does anybody know what happened with Sakura-chan?"
„Why didn't Sakura come today? Did she catch a cold?"
„Maybe...Yesterday she fainted in the middle of our match in P.E."
„I hope she`s alright again.", Sakura`s classmates rumored again and again except our normally always smiling Tomoyo. Instead she looked worried, didn't say a word. The black haired girl stared mind-absent out of the window, down to the schoolyard, standing there silently.
Very strange. Last time I called Sakura on the phone, she told me everything had been alright again with her fever. And if my beloved Sakura- chan had gotten sick again, she would have told. Mmh... maybe she had been surprised by her new enemy in the middle of her way to school. Feeling helpless Tomoyo closed her eyes. She could just hope Sakura wasn't in danger again.
But maybe Shaolan knows more about Sakura's disappearing... I will ask him as soon as I see him... "Tomoyo, you haven't said anything yet. Do you know where Sakura is?" Rika interfered her thoughts.
"Good question..."
"Where are you, Sakura-chan?" Shaolan was wondering exactly at the same moment, sitting on a tree, his favourite place. He hoped Sakura wasn't involved in trouble, like so often in the last time.
Mmh, that is really strange. Always if something happened, there`s usually Clow's presence, but not this time, so what can it be this time...?
Like an answer he suddenly felt danger in his surroundings. Quickly he got in battle-position as well as he could on a branch and searched for the source of his strange feeling. Carefully he watched his environs, in which everything seemed normal, except a spot before him... something indistinct.
Wait a moment... why is there something... flickering?!
„ Come out, whoever you are! You are discovered", he shouted into the direction of this twinkling.
„ Wooho... seems I was, despite my camouflage, noticed", a female voice answered mockily, while the blurring in front of him took slowly form. He gasped in surprise. A transparent ghost-like woman hovered there cooly, headfirst.
„ What the heck is that?", he spoke under his breath, while the lightly flickering woman continued smoothly „Well, well, look who`s sitting on a tree..."
He tried to concentrate on the... fog or whatever it was. But the only thing he could feel was an arising headache by this effort, while the woman looked over him disdainingly.
„Oh boy, I really don't know what for we could use that little kid. But, well... she ordered it..."
Little kid?!, Shaolan thought angrily.
„ Hey! I'm not an ordinary little kid!", he shouted, while he tried to find out, what this strange appearance could ... be.
„ Well... it doesn`t matter... I just do my job." The thing said, ignoring his words, and turned around.
„He! Idiot of a boy! I`ve got the one we had searched for!"
Before Shaolan could react, he was pushed forward and fell into a suddenly charmed hole. Then nothing...
Meanwhile Tomoyo was looking outside for him.
„How can that be? First Sakura, now Shaolan has disappeared... What is happening?"
„Sakura..."
„Who... who is calling for me?", Sakura asked. Everything was so fuzzy, she couldn't see anything clear. Everywhere only white Shadows. " Please... protect the worlds..."
„Protect?"
„Sakura... please... help..."
„But who are you? And protect against what..."
„Protect the worlds... Sakura... Sakura... Sakura...." The voice faded.
Then suddenly she felt cold water thrown on her face and voices passed through her thoughts. Mind-absently she dried her face with her sleeves.
"Hoe?" Sakura rubbed her eyes, seeing a group of people standing around her. A boy about 17 perhaps and the shape of a girl maybe in her age had turned their backs to her, so she couldn`t see there faces. „Hey c'mon kid, The girl's alive. Nothing happened to her. See? She's awaken", the boy said to someone before them. An anxious feeling broadened inside her, when a female and bored voice, too deep to belong to the girl, spoke from nowhere „Can we go now?"
The boy was pushed aside and a familiar face appeared in front of her. "Sh- Shaolan? What has happened? Where are we and..."
The girl interfered her with a gentle voice „I will explain everything later, but now we've got to escape from here!"
„Hey, you can't just kidnap us!" Shaolan protested, when a huge shimmering hole, maybe a portal, appeared below them all. The boy gripped everyone of them with a grin, answering to Shaolan „ Well... as you see... we can. Let's have some fun!!!!!"
And the world changed completely in one moment.
Chapter1: Why is this happening to us?!
Once existed a mysterious world. To another time, far beyond the one we know. A world with its own rules, in some way similar to ours, but nevertheless different.
This world... will be the place where the fate of thousands of dimensions will be decided in the battle about the mysterious destiny's souls...
After an apparently long fall they landed on a wide field. The gras was wet, probably it has rained a short time before. Looking around hastily the girl scrutinized the outskirts, then she sighed relieved „Phew... We aren`t stalked... For the moment we are safe..."
„Where... Where did you take us to? And why?" Sakura asked upset and anxious.
„You can't just kidnap us! Take us back at once!!" Shaolan demanded after he stood up.
„Please, don't be mad at us. We have good reasons for our doing. So I beg you, listen to me !", the girl silenced their questions urgently.
Sakura was still stunned and only looked at her. The girl was her age, she thought, and had short dark-orange hair, which reached to the middle of her neck. A beautiful white feather was fastened on her left ear. She had really conspicuous strange blue-green eyes, coloured like the sea. And her green clothes were extraordinary, with the sleeveless shirt and the shorts. Long brown handshoes and boots decorated her arms and legs. Yet the most confusing thing weren`t the clothes. The most obvious thing was the great sword fixed with a belt, that went from her left shoulder to her right waist. It was almost as large as herself.
But despite her strange appearance she could tell, that the girl with her gentle smile was sympathic to her.
The boy next to the girl wore glasses and had more normal clothes. Besides the fact that... Sakura looked over his appearance. A long black coat... black jeans.... black boots... He was completely dressed in black. He looked suspicious... and, well, clumsy ( if you express it not too hard), although he was obviously older than her.
While she had looked at the strange people, Shaolan was protesting all the time until he, finally, lost his patience and grabbed the boy's collar menacingly.
The boy just turned to the orange-haired girl „Hey, do you really think we need that guy? "
Shaolan scowled at him, but he broke off, as the orange haired girl turned to him „Please... Listen...", she smiled weakly. Grumbling, he stopped, while Sakura only watched. She was too confused by that stunning feeling she had, since they had kidnapped her.
The girl turned, sighing, to Sakura „Before you judge us only by our action, let me explain... May I introduce myself? My name is Magleen Debil, but you can call me Mac. I took you to this place because... you were in great danger... I sent the boy here to get you while I tried to save your other friend, but...", a sad smile appeared on the girl`s face, „... I`m sorry that I didn`t manage to save your other friend... If I would have been there earlier..."
„Of whom do you speak?", Sakura asked puzzled.
Surprised Mac turned to Sakura. „Well... Eriol ... Hiiragizawa, if I remember correctly."
„What?!", Shaolan cried out, glaring at Mac as she had said something about flying pigs.
„... Didn`t you know?", the little girl asked unsure.
„But...", Sakura wanted to know, „Why should someone kidnap him?"
„He has the ability to create magic, that`s why. And..."
„Eriol-kun is a magician?!", Sakura and Shaolan shouted shocked.
Mac stared at them „Well.. if you didn`t know, maybe I shouldn`t have told you..."
Shaolan seemed to be near a heart attack and stayed like frozen, while Sakura asked further „But why him?"
„Well... because it makes him a destiny`s child... just like you and your friend over there... But magicians like you are something very rare, so our enemy didn`t manage to find you... until today. He tries to collect every destiny`s child he can capture to destroy the known dimensions.
But to do that he needs special souls... with the ability to use... and create own magic. He found for example your friend Eriol, but wasn`t able to find you so easily because you use a magic that comes from yourself. Eriol uses the darkness as the source of his magic and that`s why traces remain. But sooner or later our enemy would have found you nevertheless... But we can, just like him, use a destiny`s child to defeat him, either..."
The boy, who was silent before, said thoughtfully „In your world are a lot of people with destiny's souls... If I think of that Eriol who was once Clow Read..."
"Eriol and Clow Read!?", Shaolan yelled, and then, turning to Sakura, „Sakura... It`s highly probable that he was the reason for the strange incidents in the last time!"
„Oops... I think I wasn`t supposed to say that..." the boy said, sweat dropping from his face.
Eriol was Clow Read? Could the last happenings be really his fault? I can`t imagine he was it...Sakura thought confused.
Mac had an irritated expression on her face.
Changing the subject, she continued „But that doesn`t matter now! We`ve got more important things to do ! For example finding out what we need to do now! The safety of the world is at the moment in danger!"
Shaolan reluctantly calmed down, like he thought different about this issue, and tried to pay attention to Mac`s explanations.
„We must prevent our enemy capturing enough souls creating a new powerful magic to destroy every other dimension. I and my two companions found a way to defeat him and are trying..."
"Wait a moment... two? I only see one." Sakura said shaking, still a little bit of anxious, with that strange feeling of being watched by something invisible.
" O haven't you seen her yet?" The orange-haired girl turned around to watch their surroundings very carefully. She murmured something „Where has she disappeared to again..."
„Uhm, Mac... I don`t think this is a ...", the boy tried to say but the little girl interrupted him „Shut up, boy, not now!"
Slowly the orange haired girl positioned herself, so that Sakura could only see the great sword on her back.
„Hey! I know you're here, Cara, so stop this hide-in-shadows-game and show up!", the little girl said loudly into the wind.
Only one moment, after Mac had called her companion, Shaolan tried to warn Sakura „Watch out! There's something behind you!" and dashed to her. With an uncomfortable feeling she turned around and... screamed.
" Aaaaaah! A-a-a- g-g-g- A-GHOST!"
( In the background: boy: Ah, too late...)
A transparent figure had appeared, a woman with short black hair. The left half of her face was covered by her long strands. But although her appearance wasn't that terrifying except a light flirring, she felt the aura of a ghost! Shaolan reached her and positioned himself between her and the ghost. A sweat drop appeared on the ghost's head. Then it started to smile veeery mean.
This can`t mean any good. Shaolan thought, while he felt like Sakura gripped his arm, shuddering in fear. Slowly the ghost approached them, hovering over Shaolan to the trembling sorceress.
„ Buh", it whispered, ist face directly in front of Sakura`s.
The Card`s mistress screamed, and then fell unconscious. Just in time Shaolan managed to catch her.
„Hey, this voice... You were the one who called me little kid!", Shaolan recognized, lying Sakura softly to the ground to face the ghost. Slowly he stepped closer to the flirring woman.
„O, the little boy is not as dumb as I thought.", The ghost mocked him.
„You mean me?", the boy in black intervened.
„No, I mean the other dumb boy, but wait a moment... that would make... two funny victims for my fun!", the woman said cheerfully in a frightening way.
Shaolan slid on the earth.
„Hey guys! Stop fooling around and help me with Sakura!", Mac yelled angrily at them. Noone had noticed that she tried to wake Sakura up.
Shaolan dashed to her, a worried expression on his face.
Slowly Sakura opened her eyes and asked with a sleepily voice „ What... happened? I really thought I had seen a ghost..."
„O Mac... I tried to warn you, but you didn`t listen... Sakura is... afraid of ghosts", the boy said with a I-tried-to-warn-you-voice.
„Wait a moment... How can you know that?! We didn`t tell you anything about Sakura's fear of ghosts ", Shaolan remarked, mistrust in his voice.
„O, that... Well... with one word... That`s my job. I`m a spectator." he said.
„Spectator?"
„I`m not allowed to say any more, or I have to kill you." the boy said with a typical spy voice.
Sweat drops everywhere.
„Hey, I'm just killing...", the boy said.
More sweat drops.
„Eh.. I mean... kidding, I'm just... kidding", he corrected himself in a nervous tone, backing to the tree behind him.
Relieved sighing.
I think, I should drop this subject ... the amber eyed boy thought.
Meanwhile Sakura stood up, a little bit nervous.
„There... wasn`t any ghost, was it?"
Mac began to sweat. „Well... ah.... I... must admit.... that you could call her... a... ghost...", her words faded, „But she is not that bad, when you know her closer..."
„Hey, wait a second! Didn't you call her your greatest nightmare only some hours ago?", the boy remarked, appearing on Mac`s side.
„That was uncalled for, stupid boy.", Mac muttered angrily, clinching her fists. The boy leapt with a nervous smile backwards on a branch, out of her reach.
The transparent ghost floated through the air, yawning.
„But... but... what have you g-guys to do w-with a g-ghost?", Sakura stammered with extra shaking voice.
„Well... she helps us... more or less" The boy explained.
This can only be a very veeeryyy bad dream.
„O great. You`re really strange guys", Shaolan noted, „Why should we believe you? Probably you have escaped from a lunatic asylum or such a thing."
„Well, that`s possible." the boy spoke under his breath.
Sakura didn`t hear anything of their talking, she could only stare at the ghost.
The ghost smiled evily at her.
Frightening.
„Well... Sakura, if I`m right you can use your cards for foreseeing, can`t you?", Mac asked with a business voice.
Sakura answered still confused „Yeah, that`s right..."
„So use them to find out, whether we say the truth! "
„Yeah... I could...", Sakura looked nervously at the obviously bored ghost.
Uncertain she reached for her cards( Well... strange coincidence, that I brought them with me, when we got kidnapped... Hesitating she mixed the cards, like Kero-chan had taught her to do.
Then, when she was ready with positioning the cards on the ground, still nervously always looking back to the ghost, the others stared intensely at her. After she had cleared her throat, she asked „A...", she broke off, losing the control, and cried „Aah, I can`t! I can't do this in the presence of a ghost!"
The others hit the ground except the grinning reason of their problems.
The brown haired boy shook warily his head.
I`ve got the bad suspicion that this will be the worst day, I`ve ever had...
Mac called the ghost, feeling pity for Sakura „Ehm... Cara... Could you go for a short while? I mean, only till she is done with her card business. I will call you then.."
The pale woman complained in a bored tone „This time I didn`t do anything, but nevertheless you want to get rid of me?"
Mac hesitated „Well..."
Suddenly the boy yelled at the ghost wmoan with an angry voic noone expected „O dear! Get lost, for god`s sake, that`s all we want!"
Everyone sweat dropped, looking at the boy.
The ghost gave him an insulted glare. Then, without making any noise, she faded away.
Sakura sighed in relieve. Sorry, ghost.
Then she made her second try.
„Clow Cards, answer my questions, show me these peoples` goals.", she asked with closed eyes, taking the first card.
Intensely they stared at the card she revealed.
„ The Light..." That meant, light symbolized in this case the truth.
„ So you are saying the truth...", Sakura murmured.
„ The next cards will tell me the nature of your doing."
Sakura closed her eyes again, laying bare the cards.
„ Shield... So you really want to protect the world..."
While she was still speaking she already revealed the next card. Sword.
„ Sword... a fight will take place in the near future... But against who?"
A strange feeling arised in her heart when she laid the last card open. The...
„ The mirror!? What does that mean?" Shaolan shouted out.
The world is really in danger..., Sakura shuddered, sensing something evil ,But...what could the mirror card mean? Unbelievingly she stared at the mirror, the dark suspicion wandering in her mind.
„Now satisfied, kid?" the boy said, turning to Shaolan. He growled a little bit of... angry.
„Well, will you both help us to prevent the destroying of our dimensions?", Mac asked smiling, already knowing the answer.
Sakura nodded „Of course we will help! We...", Shaolan interfered her "Wait a moment, Sakura."He turned to Mac „...Before we decide to join your party... Why can`t you take somebody from this dimension to rescue the world? You sound like magic is a known thing in this world."
„I've already tried to explain that, but you interfered me. We need someone with the ability to create his own magic. Here in today`s time this knowledge was lost long ago, although we know how to use it. I must admit, that one magician found the secret of creating magic again, but... she vanished. I suspect our enemy knew her power and so she... " Mac`s voice faded away and she looked down sadly.
Sakura felt pity for that girl. She looked at the orange haired girl, who had a wistful smile on her face. It seemed that Mac had known that magician very well. Sure, she had already gone through many sad things. Her sympathy for that girl increased.
After a while, Mac went on „But that doesn`t matter now. Some days before this incident, the magician seemed to know of her own vanishing, because she gave me... particular hints. That time she seemed to have already known of the danger. She was the one who told me first. She gave me hint, that somebody with an ability similar to her owns, had to take her place, a person with a pure soul... a destiny's child... "
„Wait a second. What is a destiny's child anywhere? You already mentioned it before", Shaolan asked.
„A person with a pure soul. A person, that can reason a great changing for the world. But they don`t have to be on the "good" side... Nevertheless our enemy needs such pure innocent souls, like Sakura`s.", Mac said with an intense glare at Sakura." You have an unique power inside..."
What power?, Sakura wondered, but before she could asked that question aloud, Shaolan growled „And what will we do now to rescue the world?"
„First we must find out, where our enemy is, because he's always changing his position. He doesn`t need a base, as he`s always collecting the destiny`s childs. But I know a person, who nevertheless could know this. If he doesn`t know, than noone can find him. I must admit, that I myself don`t know where to find our informant, but Cara does. That's one reason we need her. But we have not much time, our enemy becomes stronger and stronger, and if we don`t find that guy... I`m sorry if ghosts are a problem for you, Sakura, but she`s the only one who can guide us."
O, the ghost! Sakura had already forgotten, that there was a ghost... O no, accompanied by a ghost! A ghost...
Shaolan seemed to guess her thoughts. He laid a hand on her shoulder, looking at her. She smiled at him gratefully... One of her sweet smiles. The amber eyed boy blushed lightly. „Thanks, Shaolan...", the sorceress whispered, emerald orbs beaming at him.
Interfering this little scene, Mac yelled „Caraaaaaaa! You can come back again!"
Silence. Sakura examined nervously their surroundings.
„Cara? Cara! ", Mac shouted into the wide fields.
Still no answer. Only the tender moves of the branches.
„No, not again your hide-and-seek- game...", Mac sighed.
Suddenly Sakura shuddered as she felt a cold breeze. That is no good sign...
Everyone waited intensely, except the boy, who had sat down on the grass, as if he anticipated something.
A-a-any m-m-moment sh-she will a-ap-appear, I know..., Sakura prepared herself, with shaking inner voice.
Then, behind Mac, it happened...
„HI LITTLE PLAGUE! Have you missed me?" the ghost yelled into Mac`s ear. Sakura could see how the voice rang in Mac`s head, a moment after she had screamed. Then she fell to the ground, whilethe others slid.
„Outch... I didn`t know, that a voice could kill somebody", the boy said impressed.
The others nodded in agreement.
„I think that's a new world record", the ghost grinned.
Mac stood up with legs like pudding. „W-w-what was that about?"
„Mac! Are you okay?", Sakura asked in a worried tone, trying to help our poor Mac by supporting her.
„ Hey! Ghost! Why are you teasing that girl, who`s trying to rescue the world?", Shaolan yelled at the ghost, obviously angry since the beginning of the kidnapping.
„Hey... not so rude, kiddo. Why aren`t you using my real name?"
„Don`t call me kid!"
She glared at him, he glared back.
What does this scene remind me of? Sakura wondered.
In the middle of their glare-fight, the boy interfered them „Hey, by the way, can it be that we didn`t introduce us?"
Surprised they glanced at each other, except the still half knocked out Mac.
Sakura finally began „That`s right! I didn`t notice it, but... you seem to already know who we are."
„Yet... not really.", the boy said.
Sakura hesitated a moment before answering „Well, I`m Sakura Kinomoto."
Shaolan growled barely hearable. „The name`s Shaolan Li. And you?"
„So... I`m ... the boy"
„The boy?" Sakura asked confused.
„Yep.. Just the boy."
Sakura glanced to the ghost, not daring to ask, who it was, so Shaolan overtook this part.
„If I`m right, you`re name is Cara. Mac called you so. Right?"
„Not exactly. My real name is Vincara. Vincara Debil. Nightmare of all cute girls", she said the last words with that mean grin of hers.
„You can say that again.", Mac noted, partly recovered from the "attack".
This is really a strange party, Sakura and Shaolan thought. A boy, who call`s himself the boy, a ghost with an evil character( Her name Debil fits very well...) and a poor girl between them.
„And you both do already know our little cute company`s name." the boy interfered their thoughts.
Mac was busied with rubbing her head, as she suddenly was stunned by the boy`s words.
Her face showed suddenly a strange expression. Everyone could sense the coming trouble.
„Who-called-me-cute?", she demanded to know in a frightening tone.
„Eh... uh... well.. he was it!", the boy said getting upset, pointing at Shaolan, then he dashed backwards and vanished, while Vincara looked interested.
Hey... what does that mean... Shaolan scowled, when suddenly he was pushed to the ground. Furiously Mac looked down at him, yelling „ I will show you, what this "cute little girl" can do!"
„But-but-I didn`t say that! ", Shaolan cried out and sweat dropped from his face. „It was that boy!"
But the raging little lady didn`t listen and so came a scene, which better stays undescribed (Maybe innocent children are reading too)Only a cloud of dust could be seen.
Sakura was stunned in amazement, while the ghost hovered over the scene... she seemed to have her fun.
„ Eh... G-g-g-ghost... I mean... Vincara, sh-shouldn`t we stop them?"
„ What are you looking at me? The most sensible person of us is the one, who is trashing your friend at the moment.", Vincara answered, shrugging.
Sakura made a slide on the ground.
Then, standing up, she was determined to stop it. She ran to the fight- scene and tried to get their attention.
„He! Mac! Shouldn`t you stop trashing him ? He didn`t do anything! You told us we didn`t have the time to waste it on something like this! So pleeeaaaase, let him go!"
Mac had gripped the poor brown haired boy on his shirt at the moment, as she stopped trashing him. She whispered something not understandable.
"You`re right..."
Sakura rushed to Shaolan, who looked a bit demolished and helped him getting up.
„O man... This is really the worst day I`ve ever had. I can`t believe, that I was just beaten by an eleven year old girl..."
„Eleven ! Did you say ELEVEN???!! I AM FIFTEEN YEARS OLD!!!!!!", she yelled, getting upset again, while Shaolan panicked, O no..., and she punched him down a last time. Then she went insulted away. Sakura sat there in amazement.
„Wow, Mac! You`re really good in trashing innocent boys.", Vincara remarked, whistling very impressed.
Meanwhile the boy had appeared again and looked pitiful at the knocked out brown haired boy. „I`ll give you a good advice: If somebody calls her "cute" or something like this, then always remember: run... Run as fast as you can. And this is only for your sake."
„Thanks... Wait a moment... Wasn`t it you, who caused her to attack me?"
„ What gives you that idea?", the black haired guy asked in an innocent tone.
*sweat drop*
Shaolan, turned crimson in rage „You... you..."
„I-i think we should get going. Some rest after a hard day like this would be a great idea", The boy said nervously to distract Shaolan from this dangerous subject.
„Yeah, that would be better for all", Sakura agreed.
„ It`s a good thing that the next city is not far from here", Mac said, who seemed to have completely forgotten this little "incident".
The little girl pointed into a direction and started going, while the others followed. Mac began to tell something about the city and their world „When we`re in the city, we will first have to change your outfits, it`s a way too flashy, and the people would ask questions if they see you dressed like this."
„But, what`s with the boy? He`s wearing clothes similar to ours.", Shaolan objected.
The boy explained, is head inclining to the side „I will follow you in the shadows as soon as we`re in the city. And besides that... well... I refuse to wear those silly clothes"
" Hey, they won`t be that bad! The city has a great range of merchandise. I`m sure you will find something you like. The city we are heading for is the city of the king. King Warren. That`s why this city is the centre of our trade. I think it will be easy for us to buy some supplies and other things we need. We will rest there for one night, so that we can oversleep the today`s happenings. Tomorrow our mission will really begin. Then Cara will lead us to our informant. "
„By the way... Vincara`s task is understandable, but why do we need the boy?", Shaolan asked.
The boy seemed a little bit hurt by that question. „And why should we take you with us? You cannot create magic by your own."
They stopped walking to glare at each other in rage.
„He guys, Ease off! We need both of you! Shaolan, I took you with us, because Sakura would be very lonely without any friends, and I see you care a lot for her."
Shaolan blushed furiously.
„Shaolan, is that true? Do you really care for me?", Sakura smiled at him.
More blushing.
„Thanks for worrying about me..."
„Ooooo, how cute. You two are so cute, that I`m gonna be sick", Vincara ruined the scene.
„Shut up, Cara! That was unnecessary!"
Vincara began snoring.
Sakura and Shaolan looked at the ghost in amazement.
„She likes teasing people, especially cute kids and besides that she dislikes romantic moments.", the boy explained, staring at the sleeping ghost. Sakura and Shaolan blushed (Romantic?!)
Mac cleared her throat to get their attention again „ And the answer of your question, why we need the boy is, that he is the only one of us, who can travel through the different dimensions. That`s why we need him, too."
„But why is he the only one? Couldn`t you get a better one?", Shaolan asked , scowling at the boy.
„First of all", the boy explained, "I`m not really from your or their dimension, so it wasn`t their choice. Secondly, I was ordered to help you in some ways. Last but not least without my help everyone of you would be lost"
„What a great ego" Shaolan murmured barely hearable.
Who would be so mad at us to send him ?
„And by whom were you sent?", Sakura asked scrutinizing.
„Well, that`s a long story. But with only several words..."
„...The devil sent him" Vincara said loud enough, that everyone could hear her.
The boy went on, ignoring her „... I was sent by the fortune wizards, who live in the main dimension of all dimensions. Dorminia. Maybe you want to visit me, when this mission is finished. "
" Wow! It must be amazing to be able to visit so many different dimensions! You must have a real adventurer`s life!", Sakura remarked with admiring voice.
„Well... usually my missions aren`t that funny, but sometimes ,like in this case, I have really exciting missions. Nevertheless, I love my job."
„I`m sure you could tell a lot of stories!", the sorceress said thrilled.
„ I can tell you some if you want.", the boy`s dark eyes wandered to Shaolan, grinning, like he knew something that wouldn`t please Shaolan...
„ For example there was once a cute scene... I saw a little wolf watching at cherry blossoms...", the boy started with a knowing smile.*(1)
Shaolan winced by those words and glared at the boy, an only thought in his mind
I`m gonna kill that guy!!!
So they were talking throughout the travel, while Shaolan ( the poor) only could listen.
For Sakura the time passed too fast, while listening to the boy`s stories. Shaolan on the other side could barely stand all that stuff, and Mac informed them about things, they didn`t listen to.
And so, after several hours of walking( not far away?!) in the late afternoon they reached the main city: RAGNA

Vincara: Yes, that`s right. It was fun, but not nice!
Sakura: Aaaaaaahhhh!!! G-g-g-ghooooooost!
Mac(sweatdropping): I wonder, if we will ever defeat the ENEMY.
me: O my god! My first fanfiction is the greatest desaster since my birth...
and Vincara and the boy are so mean! I've only got my cute

fan&fiction of Myrwin-chan
Warning: This is a story of a German! So sorry for the misunderstandings I will make lots of.(
This story is based on my own stories and I was only curious, what my heroes would do, if they met someone like Sakura & co. (O, I must admit, that I couldn't resist this temptation) And last but not least: this is my first fanfic, so be prepared! :P
This story begins, when Sakura is eleven years old, in the middle of the 8th book.
So the story shall begin!
Destiny's Child
Prologue: The "Kidnapping"
A dark haired boy with glasses named Eriol Hiiragizawa, once known as Clow Read, the greatest magician ever, went through the lonely streets in the early morning. At the moment he was thinking about his next strike for a little female Cardcaptor and so far he had really enjoyed watching the Cards mistress`s power grow stronger. She could really ...
A strange inkling shot into his thoughts, as if there was someone... or something... lurking for him. Slowly he turned around to the source of the aura, as a blinding light appeared only some steps before him.
„What...", he just managed to say, as the light was already approaching him. He knew, that this couldn`t be a good sign and released his staff as fast as he could.
The light stopped, hovering above him, threatingly. He supposed it was thinking about how to handle the shield he had always summoned, so it could get him... but what for?
He froze by the sight of the light forming a figure, blinding his eyes. Now the thing and the reincarnation of Clow Read stood motionless there, watching each other cautiously.
I think I should fight back, instead of just standing here...
Eyes closed, he spoke something under his breath and darkness started surrounding the strange light to suffocate it. The light seemed to be smothered with the dark he charmed, yet he didn`t trust that peace.
That was too easy...
He wasn`t surprised at all when his darkness dissolved out of sudden, a winged figure hovering silently there. The aura of it felt so incredibly strong, that Eriol stepped instinctively back, a strange smile featuring on his face.
I suppose I don`t have a chance..., he thought calmly, although he didn`t know what would now happen to him, while that light radiating from his winged opponent, blinded him painfully. The black haired boy covered his eyes quickly, his glasses reflecting the glow.
„ I just wonder why..." he whispered with a smile, as the magic of the creature bursted out, stronger than anything he had ever felt. The shape of his enemy seemed to smile by those words and stretched its hand out. He tried to protect himself with a shield of magic, although knowing it wouldn`t help.
He was right... he didn`t even have the chance to see a newcomer appearing out of nothing, dashing into the direction of his attacker as the light already hit him through his magic. Not noticing the furious scream of the little figure...
The sun had arised in Tomoeda, its beautiful rays having chased the night away to a far corner on its edge. The branches of the trees were trembling lightly in the cold breeze of the late winter.
A little girl skated with terrifying speed on the street to school, breaking into the peaceful silence, something muttering like "Aaah! Got up too late again!". Auburn hair shimmered in the still dim light of the morning, while the wind blew through her school uniform.
Although Sakura Kinomoto panted heavily, she was in her thoughts concerned about a lot of things which happened in the last few days...
Shaolan wanted to discuss yesterday night before school , but now I seem to miss him!
The emerald eyed girl remembered only too well that he had been very upset when she had gone out to fight the fog with a light fever...
But I had to fight it... and I wanted to find out more about this feeling of Clow`s presence...
Distracted, Sakura didn't realize the man diving up from nowhere behind her.
First when the little girl noticed the shadow darkening the ground before her she turned around, but it was too late... her big emerald eyes widened in terror...
Later in the classroom:
„Hey... did you notice that Eriol is missing today, too? Is he still sick?"
„ Does anybody know what happened with Sakura-chan?"
„Why didn't Sakura come today? Did she catch a cold?"
„Maybe...Yesterday she fainted in the middle of our match in P.E."
„I hope she`s alright again.", Sakura`s classmates rumored again and again except our normally always smiling Tomoyo. Instead she looked worried, didn't say a word. The black haired girl stared mind-absent out of the window, down to the schoolyard, standing there silently.
Very strange. Last time I called Sakura on the phone, she told me everything had been alright again with her fever. And if my beloved Sakura- chan had gotten sick again, she would have told. Mmh... maybe she had been surprised by her new enemy in the middle of her way to school. Feeling helpless Tomoyo closed her eyes. She could just hope Sakura wasn't in danger again.
But maybe Shaolan knows more about Sakura's disappearing... I will ask him as soon as I see him... "Tomoyo, you haven't said anything yet. Do you know where Sakura is?" Rika interfered her thoughts.
"Good question..."
"Where are you, Sakura-chan?" Shaolan was wondering exactly at the same moment, sitting on a tree, his favourite place. He hoped Sakura wasn't involved in trouble, like so often in the last time.
Mmh, that is really strange. Always if something happened, there`s usually Clow's presence, but not this time, so what can it be this time...?
Like an answer he suddenly felt danger in his surroundings. Quickly he got in battle-position as well as he could on a branch and searched for the source of his strange feeling. Carefully he watched his environs, in which everything seemed normal, except a spot before him... something indistinct.
Wait a moment... why is there something... flickering?!
„ Come out, whoever you are! You are discovered", he shouted into the direction of this twinkling.
„ Wooho... seems I was, despite my camouflage, noticed", a female voice answered mockily, while the blurring in front of him took slowly form. He gasped in surprise. A transparent ghost-like woman hovered there cooly, headfirst.
„ What the heck is that?", he spoke under his breath, while the lightly flickering woman continued smoothly „Well, well, look who`s sitting on a tree..."
He tried to concentrate on the... fog or whatever it was. But the only thing he could feel was an arising headache by this effort, while the woman looked over him disdainingly.
„Oh boy, I really don't know what for we could use that little kid. But, well... she ordered it..."
Little kid?!, Shaolan thought angrily.
„ Hey! I'm not an ordinary little kid!", he shouted, while he tried to find out, what this strange appearance could ... be.
„ Well... it doesn`t matter... I just do my job." The thing said, ignoring his words, and turned around.
„He! Idiot of a boy! I`ve got the one we had searched for!"
Before Shaolan could react, he was pushed forward and fell into a suddenly charmed hole. Then nothing...
Meanwhile Tomoyo was looking outside for him.
„How can that be? First Sakura, now Shaolan has disappeared... What is happening?"
„Sakura..."
„Who... who is calling for me?", Sakura asked. Everything was so fuzzy, she couldn't see anything clear. Everywhere only white Shadows. " Please... protect the worlds..."
„Protect?"
„Sakura... please... help..."
„But who are you? And protect against what..."
„Protect the worlds... Sakura... Sakura... Sakura...." The voice faded.
Then suddenly she felt cold water thrown on her face and voices passed through her thoughts. Mind-absently she dried her face with her sleeves.
"Hoe?" Sakura rubbed her eyes, seeing a group of people standing around her. A boy about 17 perhaps and the shape of a girl maybe in her age had turned their backs to her, so she couldn`t see there faces. „Hey c'mon kid, The girl's alive. Nothing happened to her. See? She's awaken", the boy said to someone before them. An anxious feeling broadened inside her, when a female and bored voice, too deep to belong to the girl, spoke from nowhere „Can we go now?"
The boy was pushed aside and a familiar face appeared in front of her. "Sh- Shaolan? What has happened? Where are we and..."
The girl interfered her with a gentle voice „I will explain everything later, but now we've got to escape from here!"
„Hey, you can't just kidnap us!" Shaolan protested, when a huge shimmering hole, maybe a portal, appeared below them all. The boy gripped everyone of them with a grin, answering to Shaolan „ Well... as you see... we can. Let's have some fun!!!!!"
And the world changed completely in one moment.
Chapter1: Why is this happening to us?!
Once existed a mysterious world. To another time, far beyond the one we know. A world with its own rules, in some way similar to ours, but nevertheless different.
This world... will be the place where the fate of thousands of dimensions will be decided in the battle about the mysterious destiny's souls...
After an apparently long fall they landed on a wide field. The gras was wet, probably it has rained a short time before. Looking around hastily the girl scrutinized the outskirts, then she sighed relieved „Phew... We aren`t stalked... For the moment we are safe..."
„Where... Where did you take us to? And why?" Sakura asked upset and anxious.
„You can't just kidnap us! Take us back at once!!" Shaolan demanded after he stood up.
„Please, don't be mad at us. We have good reasons for our doing. So I beg you, listen to me !", the girl silenced their questions urgently.
Sakura was still stunned and only looked at her. The girl was her age, she thought, and had short dark-orange hair, which reached to the middle of her neck. A beautiful white feather was fastened on her left ear. She had really conspicuous strange blue-green eyes, coloured like the sea. And her green clothes were extraordinary, with the sleeveless shirt and the shorts. Long brown handshoes and boots decorated her arms and legs. Yet the most confusing thing weren`t the clothes. The most obvious thing was the great sword fixed with a belt, that went from her left shoulder to her right waist. It was almost as large as herself.
But despite her strange appearance she could tell, that the girl with her gentle smile was sympathic to her.
The boy next to the girl wore glasses and had more normal clothes. Besides the fact that... Sakura looked over his appearance. A long black coat... black jeans.... black boots... He was completely dressed in black. He looked suspicious... and, well, clumsy ( if you express it not too hard), although he was obviously older than her.
While she had looked at the strange people, Shaolan was protesting all the time until he, finally, lost his patience and grabbed the boy's collar menacingly.
The boy just turned to the orange-haired girl „Hey, do you really think we need that guy? "
Shaolan scowled at him, but he broke off, as the orange haired girl turned to him „Please... Listen...", she smiled weakly. Grumbling, he stopped, while Sakura only watched. She was too confused by that stunning feeling she had, since they had kidnapped her.
The girl turned, sighing, to Sakura „Before you judge us only by our action, let me explain... May I introduce myself? My name is Magleen Debil, but you can call me Mac. I took you to this place because... you were in great danger... I sent the boy here to get you while I tried to save your other friend, but...", a sad smile appeared on the girl`s face, „... I`m sorry that I didn`t manage to save your other friend... If I would have been there earlier..."
„Of whom do you speak?", Sakura asked puzzled.
Surprised Mac turned to Sakura. „Well... Eriol ... Hiiragizawa, if I remember correctly."
„What?!", Shaolan cried out, glaring at Mac as she had said something about flying pigs.
„... Didn`t you know?", the little girl asked unsure.
„But...", Sakura wanted to know, „Why should someone kidnap him?"
„He has the ability to create magic, that`s why. And..."
„Eriol-kun is a magician?!", Sakura and Shaolan shouted shocked.
Mac stared at them „Well.. if you didn`t know, maybe I shouldn`t have told you..."
Shaolan seemed to be near a heart attack and stayed like frozen, while Sakura asked further „But why him?"
„Well... because it makes him a destiny`s child... just like you and your friend over there... But magicians like you are something very rare, so our enemy didn`t manage to find you... until today. He tries to collect every destiny`s child he can capture to destroy the known dimensions.
But to do that he needs special souls... with the ability to use... and create own magic. He found for example your friend Eriol, but wasn`t able to find you so easily because you use a magic that comes from yourself. Eriol uses the darkness as the source of his magic and that`s why traces remain. But sooner or later our enemy would have found you nevertheless... But we can, just like him, use a destiny`s child to defeat him, either..."
The boy, who was silent before, said thoughtfully „In your world are a lot of people with destiny's souls... If I think of that Eriol who was once Clow Read..."
"Eriol and Clow Read!?", Shaolan yelled, and then, turning to Sakura, „Sakura... It`s highly probable that he was the reason for the strange incidents in the last time!"
„Oops... I think I wasn`t supposed to say that..." the boy said, sweat dropping from his face.
Eriol was Clow Read? Could the last happenings be really his fault? I can`t imagine he was it...Sakura thought confused.
Mac had an irritated expression on her face.
Changing the subject, she continued „But that doesn`t matter now! We`ve got more important things to do ! For example finding out what we need to do now! The safety of the world is at the moment in danger!"
Shaolan reluctantly calmed down, like he thought different about this issue, and tried to pay attention to Mac`s explanations.
„We must prevent our enemy capturing enough souls creating a new powerful magic to destroy every other dimension. I and my two companions found a way to defeat him and are trying..."
"Wait a moment... two? I only see one." Sakura said shaking, still a little bit of anxious, with that strange feeling of being watched by something invisible.
" O haven't you seen her yet?" The orange-haired girl turned around to watch their surroundings very carefully. She murmured something „Where has she disappeared to again..."
„Uhm, Mac... I don`t think this is a ...", the boy tried to say but the little girl interrupted him „Shut up, boy, not now!"
Slowly the orange haired girl positioned herself, so that Sakura could only see the great sword on her back.
„Hey! I know you're here, Cara, so stop this hide-in-shadows-game and show up!", the little girl said loudly into the wind.
Only one moment, after Mac had called her companion, Shaolan tried to warn Sakura „Watch out! There's something behind you!" and dashed to her. With an uncomfortable feeling she turned around and... screamed.
" Aaaaaah! A-a-a- g-g-g- A-GHOST!"
( In the background: boy: Ah, too late...)
A transparent figure had appeared, a woman with short black hair. The left half of her face was covered by her long strands. But although her appearance wasn't that terrifying except a light flirring, she felt the aura of a ghost! Shaolan reached her and positioned himself between her and the ghost. A sweat drop appeared on the ghost's head. Then it started to smile veeery mean.
This can`t mean any good. Shaolan thought, while he felt like Sakura gripped his arm, shuddering in fear. Slowly the ghost approached them, hovering over Shaolan to the trembling sorceress.
„ Buh", it whispered, ist face directly in front of Sakura`s.
The Card`s mistress screamed, and then fell unconscious. Just in time Shaolan managed to catch her.
„Hey, this voice... You were the one who called me little kid!", Shaolan recognized, lying Sakura softly to the ground to face the ghost. Slowly he stepped closer to the flirring woman.
„O, the little boy is not as dumb as I thought.", The ghost mocked him.
„You mean me?", the boy in black intervened.
„No, I mean the other dumb boy, but wait a moment... that would make... two funny victims for my fun!", the woman said cheerfully in a frightening way.
Shaolan slid on the earth.
„Hey guys! Stop fooling around and help me with Sakura!", Mac yelled angrily at them. Noone had noticed that she tried to wake Sakura up.
Shaolan dashed to her, a worried expression on his face.
Slowly Sakura opened her eyes and asked with a sleepily voice „ What... happened? I really thought I had seen a ghost..."
„O Mac... I tried to warn you, but you didn`t listen... Sakura is... afraid of ghosts", the boy said with a I-tried-to-warn-you-voice.
„Wait a moment... How can you know that?! We didn`t tell you anything about Sakura's fear of ghosts ", Shaolan remarked, mistrust in his voice.
„O, that... Well... with one word... That`s my job. I`m a spectator." he said.
„Spectator?"
„I`m not allowed to say any more, or I have to kill you." the boy said with a typical spy voice.
Sweat drops everywhere.
„Hey, I'm just killing...", the boy said.
More sweat drops.
„Eh.. I mean... kidding, I'm just... kidding", he corrected himself in a nervous tone, backing to the tree behind him.
Relieved sighing.
I think, I should drop this subject ... the amber eyed boy thought.
Meanwhile Sakura stood up, a little bit nervous.
„There... wasn`t any ghost, was it?"
Mac began to sweat. „Well... ah.... I... must admit.... that you could call her... a... ghost...", her words faded, „But she is not that bad, when you know her closer..."
„Hey, wait a second! Didn't you call her your greatest nightmare only some hours ago?", the boy remarked, appearing on Mac`s side.
„That was uncalled for, stupid boy.", Mac muttered angrily, clinching her fists. The boy leapt with a nervous smile backwards on a branch, out of her reach.
The transparent ghost floated through the air, yawning.
„But... but... what have you g-guys to do w-with a g-ghost?", Sakura stammered with extra shaking voice.
„Well... she helps us... more or less" The boy explained.
This can only be a very veeeryyy bad dream.
„O great. You`re really strange guys", Shaolan noted, „Why should we believe you? Probably you have escaped from a lunatic asylum or such a thing."
„Well, that`s possible." the boy spoke under his breath.
Sakura didn`t hear anything of their talking, she could only stare at the ghost.
The ghost smiled evily at her.
Frightening.
„Well... Sakura, if I`m right you can use your cards for foreseeing, can`t you?", Mac asked with a business voice.
Sakura answered still confused „Yeah, that`s right..."
„So use them to find out, whether we say the truth! "
„Yeah... I could...", Sakura looked nervously at the obviously bored ghost.
Uncertain she reached for her cards( Well... strange coincidence, that I brought them with me, when we got kidnapped... Hesitating she mixed the cards, like Kero-chan had taught her to do.
Then, when she was ready with positioning the cards on the ground, still nervously always looking back to the ghost, the others stared intensely at her. After she had cleared her throat, she asked „A...", she broke off, losing the control, and cried „Aah, I can`t! I can't do this in the presence of a ghost!"
The others hit the ground except the grinning reason of their problems.
The brown haired boy shook warily his head.
I`ve got the bad suspicion that this will be the worst day, I`ve ever had...
Mac called the ghost, feeling pity for Sakura „Ehm... Cara... Could you go for a short while? I mean, only till she is done with her card business. I will call you then.."
The pale woman complained in a bored tone „This time I didn`t do anything, but nevertheless you want to get rid of me?"
Mac hesitated „Well..."
Suddenly the boy yelled at the ghost wmoan with an angry voic noone expected „O dear! Get lost, for god`s sake, that`s all we want!"
Everyone sweat dropped, looking at the boy.
The ghost gave him an insulted glare. Then, without making any noise, she faded away.
Sakura sighed in relieve. Sorry, ghost.
Then she made her second try.
„Clow Cards, answer my questions, show me these peoples` goals.", she asked with closed eyes, taking the first card.
Intensely they stared at the card she revealed.
„ The Light..." That meant, light symbolized in this case the truth.
„ So you are saying the truth...", Sakura murmured.
„ The next cards will tell me the nature of your doing."
Sakura closed her eyes again, laying bare the cards.
„ Shield... So you really want to protect the world..."
While she was still speaking she already revealed the next card. Sword.
„ Sword... a fight will take place in the near future... But against who?"
A strange feeling arised in her heart when she laid the last card open. The...
„ The mirror!? What does that mean?" Shaolan shouted out.
The world is really in danger..., Sakura shuddered, sensing something evil ,But...what could the mirror card mean? Unbelievingly she stared at the mirror, the dark suspicion wandering in her mind.
„Now satisfied, kid?" the boy said, turning to Shaolan. He growled a little bit of... angry.
„Well, will you both help us to prevent the destroying of our dimensions?", Mac asked smiling, already knowing the answer.
Sakura nodded „Of course we will help! We...", Shaolan interfered her "Wait a moment, Sakura."He turned to Mac „...Before we decide to join your party... Why can`t you take somebody from this dimension to rescue the world? You sound like magic is a known thing in this world."
„I've already tried to explain that, but you interfered me. We need someone with the ability to create his own magic. Here in today`s time this knowledge was lost long ago, although we know how to use it. I must admit, that one magician found the secret of creating magic again, but... she vanished. I suspect our enemy knew her power and so she... " Mac`s voice faded away and she looked down sadly.
Sakura felt pity for that girl. She looked at the orange haired girl, who had a wistful smile on her face. It seemed that Mac had known that magician very well. Sure, she had already gone through many sad things. Her sympathy for that girl increased.
After a while, Mac went on „But that doesn`t matter now. Some days before this incident, the magician seemed to know of her own vanishing, because she gave me... particular hints. That time she seemed to have already known of the danger. She was the one who told me first. She gave me hint, that somebody with an ability similar to her owns, had to take her place, a person with a pure soul... a destiny's child... "
„Wait a second. What is a destiny's child anywhere? You already mentioned it before", Shaolan asked.
„A person with a pure soul. A person, that can reason a great changing for the world. But they don`t have to be on the "good" side... Nevertheless our enemy needs such pure innocent souls, like Sakura`s.", Mac said with an intense glare at Sakura." You have an unique power inside..."
What power?, Sakura wondered, but before she could asked that question aloud, Shaolan growled „And what will we do now to rescue the world?"
„First we must find out, where our enemy is, because he's always changing his position. He doesn`t need a base, as he`s always collecting the destiny`s childs. But I know a person, who nevertheless could know this. If he doesn`t know, than noone can find him. I must admit, that I myself don`t know where to find our informant, but Cara does. That's one reason we need her. But we have not much time, our enemy becomes stronger and stronger, and if we don`t find that guy... I`m sorry if ghosts are a problem for you, Sakura, but she`s the only one who can guide us."
O, the ghost! Sakura had already forgotten, that there was a ghost... O no, accompanied by a ghost! A ghost...
Shaolan seemed to guess her thoughts. He laid a hand on her shoulder, looking at her. She smiled at him gratefully... One of her sweet smiles. The amber eyed boy blushed lightly. „Thanks, Shaolan...", the sorceress whispered, emerald orbs beaming at him.
Interfering this little scene, Mac yelled „Caraaaaaaa! You can come back again!"
Silence. Sakura examined nervously their surroundings.
„Cara? Cara! ", Mac shouted into the wide fields.
Still no answer. Only the tender moves of the branches.
„No, not again your hide-and-seek- game...", Mac sighed.
Suddenly Sakura shuddered as she felt a cold breeze. That is no good sign...
Everyone waited intensely, except the boy, who had sat down on the grass, as if he anticipated something.
A-a-any m-m-moment sh-she will a-ap-appear, I know..., Sakura prepared herself, with shaking inner voice.
Then, behind Mac, it happened...
„HI LITTLE PLAGUE! Have you missed me?" the ghost yelled into Mac`s ear. Sakura could see how the voice rang in Mac`s head, a moment after she had screamed. Then she fell to the ground, whilethe others slid.
„Outch... I didn`t know, that a voice could kill somebody", the boy said impressed.
The others nodded in agreement.
„I think that's a new world record", the ghost grinned.
Mac stood up with legs like pudding. „W-w-what was that about?"
„Mac! Are you okay?", Sakura asked in a worried tone, trying to help our poor Mac by supporting her.
„ Hey! Ghost! Why are you teasing that girl, who`s trying to rescue the world?", Shaolan yelled at the ghost, obviously angry since the beginning of the kidnapping.
„Hey... not so rude, kiddo. Why aren`t you using my real name?"
„Don`t call me kid!"
She glared at him, he glared back.
What does this scene remind me of? Sakura wondered.
In the middle of their glare-fight, the boy interfered them „Hey, by the way, can it be that we didn`t introduce us?"
Surprised they glanced at each other, except the still half knocked out Mac.
Sakura finally began „That`s right! I didn`t notice it, but... you seem to already know who we are."
„Yet... not really.", the boy said.
Sakura hesitated a moment before answering „Well, I`m Sakura Kinomoto."
Shaolan growled barely hearable. „The name`s Shaolan Li. And you?"
„So... I`m ... the boy"
„The boy?" Sakura asked confused.
„Yep.. Just the boy."
Sakura glanced to the ghost, not daring to ask, who it was, so Shaolan overtook this part.
„If I`m right, you`re name is Cara. Mac called you so. Right?"
„Not exactly. My real name is Vincara. Vincara Debil. Nightmare of all cute girls", she said the last words with that mean grin of hers.
„You can say that again.", Mac noted, partly recovered from the "attack".
This is really a strange party, Sakura and Shaolan thought. A boy, who call`s himself the boy, a ghost with an evil character( Her name Debil fits very well...) and a poor girl between them.
„And you both do already know our little cute company`s name." the boy interfered their thoughts.
Mac was busied with rubbing her head, as she suddenly was stunned by the boy`s words.
Her face showed suddenly a strange expression. Everyone could sense the coming trouble.
„Who-called-me-cute?", she demanded to know in a frightening tone.
„Eh... uh... well.. he was it!", the boy said getting upset, pointing at Shaolan, then he dashed backwards and vanished, while Vincara looked interested.
Hey... what does that mean... Shaolan scowled, when suddenly he was pushed to the ground. Furiously Mac looked down at him, yelling „ I will show you, what this "cute little girl" can do!"
„But-but-I didn`t say that! ", Shaolan cried out and sweat dropped from his face. „It was that boy!"
But the raging little lady didn`t listen and so came a scene, which better stays undescribed (Maybe innocent children are reading too)Only a cloud of dust could be seen.
Sakura was stunned in amazement, while the ghost hovered over the scene... she seemed to have her fun.
„ Eh... G-g-g-ghost... I mean... Vincara, sh-shouldn`t we stop them?"
„ What are you looking at me? The most sensible person of us is the one, who is trashing your friend at the moment.", Vincara answered, shrugging.
Sakura made a slide on the ground.
Then, standing up, she was determined to stop it. She ran to the fight- scene and tried to get their attention.
„He! Mac! Shouldn`t you stop trashing him ? He didn`t do anything! You told us we didn`t have the time to waste it on something like this! So pleeeaaaase, let him go!"
Mac had gripped the poor brown haired boy on his shirt at the moment, as she stopped trashing him. She whispered something not understandable.
"You`re right..."
Sakura rushed to Shaolan, who looked a bit demolished and helped him getting up.
„O man... This is really the worst day I`ve ever had. I can`t believe, that I was just beaten by an eleven year old girl..."
„Eleven ! Did you say ELEVEN???!! I AM FIFTEEN YEARS OLD!!!!!!", she yelled, getting upset again, while Shaolan panicked, O no..., and she punched him down a last time. Then she went insulted away. Sakura sat there in amazement.
„Wow, Mac! You`re really good in trashing innocent boys.", Vincara remarked, whistling very impressed.
Meanwhile the boy had appeared again and looked pitiful at the knocked out brown haired boy. „I`ll give you a good advice: If somebody calls her "cute" or something like this, then always remember: run... Run as fast as you can. And this is only for your sake."
„Thanks... Wait a moment... Wasn`t it you, who caused her to attack me?"
„ What gives you that idea?", the black haired guy asked in an innocent tone.
*sweat drop*
Shaolan, turned crimson in rage „You... you..."
„I-i think we should get going. Some rest after a hard day like this would be a great idea", The boy said nervously to distract Shaolan from this dangerous subject.
„Yeah, that would be better for all", Sakura agreed.
„ It`s a good thing that the next city is not far from here", Mac said, who seemed to have completely forgotten this little "incident".
The little girl pointed into a direction and started going, while the others followed. Mac began to tell something about the city and their world „When we`re in the city, we will first have to change your outfits, it`s a way too flashy, and the people would ask questions if they see you dressed like this."
„But, what`s with the boy? He`s wearing clothes similar to ours.", Shaolan objected.
The boy explained, is head inclining to the side „I will follow you in the shadows as soon as we`re in the city. And besides that... well... I refuse to wear those silly clothes"
" Hey, they won`t be that bad! The city has a great range of merchandise. I`m sure you will find something you like. The city we are heading for is the city of the king. King Warren. That`s why this city is the centre of our trade. I think it will be easy for us to buy some supplies and other things we need. We will rest there for one night, so that we can oversleep the today`s happenings. Tomorrow our mission will really begin. Then Cara will lead us to our informant. "
„By the way... Vincara`s task is understandable, but why do we need the boy?", Shaolan asked.
The boy seemed a little bit hurt by that question. „And why should we take you with us? You cannot create magic by your own."
They stopped walking to glare at each other in rage.
„He guys, Ease off! We need both of you! Shaolan, I took you with us, because Sakura would be very lonely without any friends, and I see you care a lot for her."
Shaolan blushed furiously.
„Shaolan, is that true? Do you really care for me?", Sakura smiled at him.
More blushing.
„Thanks for worrying about me..."
„Ooooo, how cute. You two are so cute, that I`m gonna be sick", Vincara ruined the scene.
„Shut up, Cara! That was unnecessary!"
Vincara began snoring.
Sakura and Shaolan looked at the ghost in amazement.
„She likes teasing people, especially cute kids and besides that she dislikes romantic moments.", the boy explained, staring at the sleeping ghost. Sakura and Shaolan blushed (Romantic?!)
Mac cleared her throat to get their attention again „ And the answer of your question, why we need the boy is, that he is the only one of us, who can travel through the different dimensions. That`s why we need him, too."
„But why is he the only one? Couldn`t you get a better one?", Shaolan asked , scowling at the boy.
„First of all", the boy explained, "I`m not really from your or their dimension, so it wasn`t their choice. Secondly, I was ordered to help you in some ways. Last but not least without my help everyone of you would be lost"
„What a great ego" Shaolan murmured barely hearable.
Who would be so mad at us to send him ?
„And by whom were you sent?", Sakura asked scrutinizing.
„Well, that`s a long story. But with only several words..."
„...The devil sent him" Vincara said loud enough, that everyone could hear her.
The boy went on, ignoring her „... I was sent by the fortune wizards, who live in the main dimension of all dimensions. Dorminia. Maybe you want to visit me, when this mission is finished. "
" Wow! It must be amazing to be able to visit so many different dimensions! You must have a real adventurer`s life!", Sakura remarked with admiring voice.
„Well... usually my missions aren`t that funny, but sometimes ,like in this case, I have really exciting missions. Nevertheless, I love my job."
„I`m sure you could tell a lot of stories!", the sorceress said thrilled.
„ I can tell you some if you want.", the boy`s dark eyes wandered to Shaolan, grinning, like he knew something that wouldn`t please Shaolan...
„ For example there was once a cute scene... I saw a little wolf watching at cherry blossoms...", the boy started with a knowing smile.*(1)
Shaolan winced by those words and glared at the boy, an only thought in his mind
I`m gonna kill that guy!!!
So they were talking throughout the travel, while Shaolan ( the poor) only could listen.
For Sakura the time passed too fast, while listening to the boy`s stories. Shaolan on the other side could barely stand all that stuff, and Mac informed them about things, they didn`t listen to.
And so, after several hours of walking( not far away?!) in the late afternoon they reached the main city: RAGNA
