Ch-7- The First move is Played
"What should we do Syaoran-kun? About the song that is." Asked Sakura as they went down the final flight of stairs leading down to the first level. "I don't know. We can't show anyone, and how are we suppose to play it?"
"We know how to play the flute a little." Sakura reminded Syaoran,
"Oh yeah! I forgot all about music classes." Syaoran laughed nervously,
"But where will we get flutes?" Sakura questioned,
"If the mirror world is the same as our world, we can get them at school or at home right?" Syaoran wondered out loud.
"That's a great idea Syaorun-kun! Let's practice at my house."
Both Sakura and Syaoran went their separate ways, and later met up at Sakura's house, in her room. Kero kept asking question after question. "You weren't with that brat all day were you?"
"Yes." Sakura replied,
"What did you do together?"
"We went to Tomoyo-chan's house." Answered Sakura,
"As long Daidouji is there...wait! She'll have the scoop of what's going on!" Mirror Kero said punching the air getting really excited,"can you be quiet stuffed animal, were trying to practice." Syaoran said looking at the sheet music, trying to figure out what to play. "Who are you calling a stuffed animal, you brat!"
"Hoe."
After the last half hour, Mirror Kero and Syaoran argued like there was no tomorrow, and Sakura tried her best to play the flute, while also yelling at Mirror Touya about how she wasn't so good, the noise never seemed to end."You're just like that bad excuse of a wolf, Kaze." Syaoran spat,
"You call that practicing, more like trying to break glass."
"Nii-san!" Sakura cried, "then you do it if you think your so great!" She shot back to her brother.
"Stop calling me your older sister!" He cried.
It has been three years since Sakura battled Eriol and won. When Sakura entered the 7th grade, that was when Syaoran returned and decided to stay in Tokyo. Since then, both Touya and Fujitaka gotten used to Kero's presence, and ever since Sakura's secret was revealed, on a daily basis Yukito would come visit Touya and Sakura, along with Kero.
"Wait, did you just say Kaze?" Asked Mirror Kero,
"Your hearing is getting the best of you. Yes I said that annoying puppy's name." Syaoran growled with the idea of mentioning Kaze.
"I'm surprised he made it back."
"Made it back?" They said at once including Touya,
"Whoa, whoa what were you two up too? We assumed you slept at Daidouji's again, you could have called! What's going on?!" Asked Mirror Touya sounding suspicious,
"Um..." Sakura trailed off.
"Spill it."
Sakura and Syaoran explained the story to Mirror Touya and Mirror Kero, Mirror Touya and Mirror Kero blinked, and looked at each other.
"So you're not my brother?" Asked Mirror Touya,
"I'm a girl!" Sakura cried,
"I suppose that means you're a boy, since everything in your world is backwards." Said Mirror Kero.
"Hoe." Sakura sighed.
"This really is a mirror image of our world." Syaoran stated.
"How do I know you're not putting us on?" Asked Mirror Touya eyeing Syaoran suspiciously."They're not lying." Mirror Kero said pointing to the mirror in Sakura's room, in the mirror were Mirror Kero's and Mirror Touya's reflections, but not Sakura's and Syaoran's."So my real brother is on the other side?" Asked Mirror Touya.
"Maybe." Mirror Kero said.
"But when we walked through the mirror, we didn't know what happened to our reflection's. Maybe they went to our side." Said Syaoran.
"It's possible, but didn't you say that your reflections didn't reflect what you were doing?" Asked Mirror Kero.
"Yes, they didn't do what we did, they never went through the mirror, and we never met them on the other side." Sakura said.
"That's odd." Said Mirror Kero.
"Can we get to practicing now?" Asked Syaoran suddenly growing inpatient. Suddenly the doorbell rang, "I'll get it." Mirror Touya said getting up from Sakura's bed, before leaving the room, he motioned towards Syaoran, "I'm...watching...you." He gestured pointing at his eyes then to Syaoran's; Syaoran just glared back.
For the rest of the afternoon Sakura and Syaoran practiced, while Mirror Touya and Mirror Kero, talked to Mirror Yukito downstairs. It was late at night, at that time Mirror Fujitaka came home and Mirror Kero and Mirror Touya explained the story to him. Fujitaka allowed them to return to the cave, out of fear for their lives and called Syaoran's guardian. It continued to rain outside, the light of the street lights danced on the inky black pavement, as the couple walked through the streets.
"It's just like when we got here, exactly." Sakura said, Syaoran agreed, then suddenly tripped.
"Daijoubo?(Are you okay?)" Asked Sakura,
"Un, Daijoubo. (Yeah I'm fine.) Something just tripped me." Syaoran said standing up and started walking again, only to trip once again.
Syaoran looked at his ankle, a black claw like hand, had an iron grip on Syaoran's ankle, he tried to pull the hand off. But it wouldn't budge even with Sakura's help. The hand was connected to the pavement, and suddenly it tried to pull Syaoran into the ground with it, for its forearm disappeared into the ground.
Suddenly reappearing in the form of a young man. He had jet black hair that hung just before his shoulder's in a pony tail that rested on his shoulder blade. While his eyes were just as dark, he wore a black clock around his form. He glared at Sakura and Syaoran with midnight eyes bearing into their skin, Sakura shivered, a wolf appeared next to the man. The wolf was also as black and dark as his master, he growled at Sakura and Syaoran.
"You failed me, Yami." Said the man looking at his wolf.
"Forgive me Kurai-sama." The wolf replied,
"Never mind that, attack those humans. They're the chosen ones!" Kurai yelled, the shadow wolf lunged towards Syaoran; Syaoran pulled out his sword and slashed Yami; Yami suddenly disappeared."Sakura run!"Syaoran yelled, "I won't leave you Syaoran-kun!" she yelled back,while she summoned her wand.
"Light card release!" She called, and Light was summoned, "attack the wolf!" Sakura yelled, Yami dodged Light's attack, suddenly blasting dark energy out of his mouth. Sakura quickly summoned dark to protect Light; Light tried to catch Yami. But the shadow wolf was fast, too fast for Light or Dark to catch. Yami finally attacked the slow motioned Light.
"Light!"
"Now Yami! Catch the darkness spirit and increase your powers!" Cried Kurai, Yami nodded.Yami caught Dark and absorbed her power; suddenly a card flew into Sakura's hand. The pink Sakura card was the dark card but without Dark's image in it.
"Dark!" Sakura cried,
"Your little friend is apart of my wolf spirit now." Kurai smirked,
"Give her back!" Syaoran yelled.
"Not a chance!" Kurai smiled as he nodded to Yami. Yami lunged towards Sakura and bit her wrist, trying to rip it off. Syaoran turned around in shock and blind anger; tears streamed down Sakura's eyes she didn't know what to do but scream and try to push the wolf off her.
"Raiden!" Syaoran screamed,
A flash of lightning struck the earth with a crash, from the black smoke appeared a yellow wolf; electric sparks flying from her body. She pounced on Yami and sank her teeth on Yami's neck, hard. Yami let go of Sakura's wrist and yelped, and tried to shake her off, Raiden tried to lead Yami away from Sakura, Syaoran quickly ran to Sakura's side.
"Sakura!"
"Syaoran-kun!" She barely managed to say. Syaoran quickly ripped a piece of his shirt off and wrapped it on Sakura's wrist to stop the bleeding.
"Raiden! Electric shock!" Syaoran screamed with a murderous tone as he ran toward Kurai, sword in hand. He swung at Kurai and missed, Kurai smiled, while Syaoran's eyes glittered amber with a fiery glow of hate.
"Too slow." Kurai said, punching Syaoran in the stomach. Syaoran winced in pain, Sakura barely able to speak whispered Syaoran's name.
Raiden's jaw still on Yami's neck, she highered the voltage around her body shocking Yami even more. The shadow wolf finally gave up and laid paralysed, Raiden began ripping Yami apart, she too had the same murderous intent as her master. Syaoran got up and ran towards Kurai, but just before his sword contacted Kurai, he disappeared with a shriek of pain. Along with Yami disappearing, while he howled in pain. Raiden glared at him and began to kick him on his side, he howled more, Kurai too screamed in pain.
"If you think destroying us will keep your secret safe, think again!" Kurai screamed before disappearing.Yami too disappeared and the Dark appeared, appearing very weak. Her sister Light went to her sister and they looked at their mistress, worried.
"Syaoran-sama, please help me!" Raiden called to Syaoran; Syaoran went to Sakura's side, and helped her lift her wand up to make the Light and Dark become cards again. The cards flew into Syaoran's hand and he quickly put them in his pocket and lifted Sakura on to Raiden's back. They ran towards the cave, to see if Silver and others could do something about her wrist.
