The next morning Sakura did her best to keep herself occupied, her mind off of moving, the hosts, everything. She went from reading, to listening to music, to singing, to studying cook books. She and Kero played video games together for a while, but eventually she grew bored, even of that. It was 4pm. She still had a lot of time to occupy. She tried to think of something fun but hard to do that would take a while. A song. Writing a song took a long time for her, she'd done it only once or twice before, writing one for Li and one for Madison. But what would she write about? Moving, the confusion, the lonelyness. Maybe a bit of the confusion with the host club.
She sat down with her notebook and pen and stared at the paper as she sorted things out to her best ability in her head. Kero landed next to her. He stared at her for a good few minutes, wondering what in the world she was doing. And eventually, he asked so. "Sakura, what are you doing?"
"Trying to write a song."
"Okay...why?"
"To distract me. And to help clear things up in my head." Sakura said. "If only there were a star card that could do that."
"Yeah, if only." Kero nodded, and went off to play more video games. Sakura just ignored the world around her as she let her brain decide the words that formed on the paper in front of her. She found herself hours later, finally finishing the song. She quietly sang it to herself, changing words that sounded out of place here and there. She then rewrote it on another piece of paper delicately, to make it look perfect. She carefully sat it on her nightstand and laid down, her right wrist resting on her forehead as she stared up at the ceiling, her eyes showing her disconnected stare.
Soon enough she found herself being woke up by Kero. He sounded very panicky. She sat up and rubbed her head. "Kero? What's wrong? Is dad hurt?"
"Sakura the cards are gone!"
Sakura's jaw slowly dropped as her eyes widened. "They're what?"
"The cards, I was playing Ninja Fighter 2 and all the sudden I felt their card presence leave, so I went to check and there are only eight left in the book!"
Sakura sat up and shook her head. "No, no, no, no, no! Kero one of us have to have just...sat them around the house somewhere. Come on lets look."
"Sakura their presence is gone!"
"Maybe you're just off." Sakura replied calmly, and slightly hopefully, although she felt herself that the cards were gone. She walked over to her desk and stared at the open hallowed out book where only eight of her Sakura Cards remained. She picked them up and looked through them. Windy, Fly, Fight, Song, Shadow, Cloud, Wood, and Hope, "Why these eight?"
"Who knows, all I know is we have to find them!"
"What could have caused them to leave?"
"Well your emotions are all over the place, maybe you just couldn't keep a hold on them for some reason."
"A hold on them?"
"You magically keep them bound, wether or not your thinking about it."
"Hmm...Sakura said. "Does this mean what I think it means?"
Kero nodded, and the two said in unison, "The cards have to be recaptured."
"But they're still the Sakura Cards, right?"
"They should be."
"Well, lets get on it then."
Sakura stood up and took a deep breath. She checked that the key staff was around her neck, picked up her eight cards and put them in her purse, and called Li.
"Hello?"
"Uhm...Li?"
"What's wrong Sakura?"
"It's the cards...they somehow...got loose."
"...The Sakura Cards?"
"Yeah."
"Does that mean you have to...recapture them?"
"Uh-huh."
"Will you have to transform them?"
"We think they're still Sakura Cards, so hopefully not."
She heard Li sigh. "That's not good. You need to find them quickly, if they're gonna randomly release themselves there's no telling what other crazy stuff they're gonna do."
"Right."
"Well I've gotta go, sorry. Bye Sakura...Good luck. Let me know how things are going when you can."
"Sure Li. Bye." And with that, she hung up. She stared at the phone blankly for a second. Then she dialed Madison's number, and explained it to her.
"So, what you're saying is, you have to recapture the cards?"
"Yes."
"And by yourself?"
"Uh-huh."
"And I won't be there to capture it on film?"
"Madison! This is serious! There are fourty-five Sakura Cards out loose doing who knows what!"
"It's okay Sakura. I'll try to get my mom to let me come over there on the private jet as soon as I can, okay?"
"Okay...Sorry Madison. I don't mean to get mad, this is just so...out of the blue and it was hard enough the first time to catch them.
"It's gonna be okay, I promise. I"m gonna go see what I can do about getting the jet. Bye Sakura!"
"Bye."
What was she going to do? Li wasn't going to be there to help her this time. And what if the cards were going to be worse than before, considering they had just sort of went crazy? How was she going to recapture them? And would anyone get hurt in the process? What about the eight cards that stayed behind, did those eight mean something? And what about the Host Club, they seemed to always know everything. How would she explain it if they caught her capturing a card or using magic at all, releasing the staff or anything? This was not going to be easy.
So yeah guys, I wasn't going to involve the cards getting loose, but all the sudden ideas for it were assaulting my brain and I felt like it, so I thought 'might as well'. So yeah, woo! And there are planned reasons for each card staying behind, not a really big deal, but yeah...Those will probably be revealed later on. Anyways, yeah. Woo!
