Card Captors and the New Captor
Chapter 4: Lighting Strike
As morning comes I get ready for school.
"Well yesterday was odd with that boy, but I know today will be fine," I said as I look outside from my window. "I wonder if Tomoyo will make me a costume today. I'll go over to her house and ask her."
I get into my uniform and I put my heart wand key around my neck. I put my hair up in white holders and brush the back of my hair. Honey comes up from behind.
"Be careful of lighting today," she said. I look at her with a confused look.
"It's not going to rain. It's a pretty day." She shakes her head and sighs.
"Well, just be careful."
I nod and go down for breakfast. My mom looks at me and greets me I greeted back.
"We are going to be out at work when you get home from school, so make yourself something to eat and then we will be home later on, okay." I nod
"I might go over to Madison's house today," I say.
"Well don't eat her out of house and home," Aero said with a smirk. I growl and mom looks at me.
"Okay you two, break it up." I nod and I look at the clock.
"I am going to be late," I exclaim as run to the door and I grab my skates and backpack and quickly put them on and hurry to school. I get in the classroom before the bell. "Good. I am not late."
I see sakura and Tomoyo come in the classroom as well.
"Good morning," I say. They greet me back with smiles. "Tomoyo can I come over to your house so you can make a costume for me?"
Tomoyo's eyes shine and sparkle she said, "Yes you can I can't wait this will be so much fun." I smile and I look out the window and noticed grey clouds approaching slowly.
"Storm clouds, but it not going to rain today, is it?"
Class starts soon after and I catch the brown haired boy, whom I learned was named Syaoran Li by the role call, looking out the window as well. "There is a clow card I know it," I hear him say in a whisper. Apparently Sakura felt it too.
"A Clow Card now? But I have all of them; is it a new card?"
The classes continue with nothing strange and before I knew it, school ended. At the sound of the final bell rings, we all get ready to go home.
"It looks like it's going rain, but today was so clear before," Sakura said while looking through the window once most of the students have cleared.
"Sakura could it be a card?" Li says, walking to her side. She looks at Li with worried eyes.
"I don't know what it could be." Tomoyo finishes getting her things together and joins us.
"Ready to go to my house?" I nod and smile at her.
"Sure I am ready," I say. Sakura finishes getting her things together as well. Once we're all ready, we walk to her house chatting with one another. Suddenly, a bolt of lighting comes down making us run and hide under the slide at the park
"That is odd, lighting but no rain?" Sakura nods in agreement.
"Lets go to Tomoyo's house to better think why this is happening." I nod as continue going to her house once again.
"Tomoyo, this is your house!" I practically yell as we arrive at the house, no mansion. She nods happily as if it's the most normal house.
"Yep this is my house." We all go in and walk up to her room. Instantly I see all the costumes and pictures of Sakura in them.
"Sakura they are so cute," I exclaim. She smiles sheepishly.
"Thanks she does a great job." I nod as Tomoyo comes and approaches me with a measuring tape to get my measurements.
"Does she really have to make me a costume?" I say looking at Sakura. Sakura giggles at me.
"Come on Crystal, it will be fine," she says. Once she gets done, she runs to her sewing machine and grabs fabrics and starts sewing like crazy. Sakura and I talk to each other as Tomoyo works and before we know it, she comes back with a pink dress with a white dress under it with cute cat ears and a pink tail with a gold bell on it held together by a gigantic bow on top. The cat ears are pink inside and white on the outside.
"It's made out of a rubber fabric so you won't get shocked when the lighting hits you." I nod as we run to the park where we first saw the lighting. I see Li already there.
"What are you doing here? This is not a clow card," I say. He just looks at me with cold eyes.
"Stay out of this," he says coldly. The Lightning suddenly appears in front of Li in his true form. Instantly, he tries to fight the Lighting with his sword, but gets hit on his arm where his sword was. Sakura runs over to him with concerned eyes.
"Crystal you have to tame that," Sakura says. I look at it and fear consumes me.
"I can't," I say. Honey suddenly flies out of nowhere and to my side.
"Crystal, you can do it, don't worry," she says. Kero comes out of nowhere too and flies to where we are.
"Sakura we have a Clow Card." He looks to Honey and does a double take. "Who are you?" I start to get mad at the constant misconception.
"For the last time, they are not Clow Cards!" Li looks at me with a doubtful look.
"Then what are they?"
"They are Heart Cards and I will show you I can tame it!" I pull out my from around my neck and hold it out on my palm. "Key of the heart, with power burning bright, shine the light. Release!" Sakura just looks at me with wide eyes.
"That is your wand? Cool." I look at the lightning.
"I just have two cards how can I fight it?" I say quietly Honey looks at me and gives me an encouraging smile.
"Just think what fights lighting," she says. I nod and I call pull out The Breezy Card.
"Breezy Card, tie up the Lighting Card so it can't move any more! Breezy card Release and Dispell!"
It comes out and gets The Lighting tied up. "Lighting Card, I command you to return to your power confined! Lighting card!" The Lighting goes back into it's card form as wind surrounds my magic circle. Once everything dies down the cards floats to my hand. Tomoyo looks at me with a twinkle in her eyes.
"Crystal,that was so cool and I got it all on tape!" While all this was going on, Sakura was helping Li up. I walked over to where they were.
"Li look, I am sorry that I yelled at you but the cards that I have now. They are Heart Cards and they take a different source of magic," I look up at him and smile. "But I can be your friend and we can work together. What do you say?" Sakura looks at me with a huge grin on her face.
"Does that mean we can work together?" she said practically jumping up and down"
"As well with both of our cards?" Li adds. I nod and smile.
"Yep it does."
