Enjoy!
Carefully so that they could avoid any trouble with the guards that were searching for them, the group managed to safely arrive at Amon's tower. Sakura was in awe at the sight of the tower.
"Wow! It's so big!" She exclaimed as they approached the entrance. The spiral tower stood in the middle of the city, looking down on it. Sakura had saw glimpses of it when she arrived with Aladdin, but the brunette never really thought just how tall the tower actually was. Alibaba nodded at the comment.
"Yep. There are other dungeons like this as well. They're pretty much all over the world." The blonde explained. Tomoyo looked happily at Sakura while Syaoran and Kero got into an argument once again. Sakura stepped closer to the entrance of the dungeon. Examining it, the girl could see nothing but her reflection. Frowning, Sakura leaned a little to see if she could see into the dungeon. Suddenly, the entrance shimmered and various people flashed before her eyes. The brunette blinked and looked again. Though there was no images, she could have sworn she saw something.
"Green and blue eyes..." Sakura thought. "Then red eyes and blue eyes. There were also some others but I can't think of what..." Suddenly, as Sakura was deep in her thoughts, Aladdin groaned out.
"Ooh…my stomach…" He whimpered. Clutching his stomach, Aladdin accidently stumbled onto Sakura and the both of them fell into the dungeon.
"Sakura! Aladdin!" Everyone screamed as the two entered into the dungeon. As they fell, Sakura saw herself in front of many worlds. Each one had white pillars sprouting out. There were also pink colored pillars which the brunette realized were more abundant the the white colored ones. Sakura tried to make out what the shapes were, but before she could, the dark atmosphere surrounded her. When she could see again, Sakura saw herself in a familiar dark void.
"Not again…Does that mean I'm unconscious?" Sakura thought. A sudden feeling enveloped her and the brunette began to walk aimlessly in the void. After some time, she came across a wooden door. Curious, Sakura walked up to it and pushed door opened. The door made a small creak as it opened, revealing a light inside. With a small grimace, Sakura entered into the light. Once she stepped inside, Sakura found herself in an elegant bedroom.
"Huh...?" she whispered. Quickly, Sakura examined the room. A small bookcase filled to the brim with books sat by a small desk with paper strewn all over it. Across the desk and bookcase was a light pink bed hiddened behind silk drapes. Sakura noticed several books lying on the bed. Suddenly the female felt a strong gust of wind and turned to see two glass doors opened out into a balcony. Sakura felt a strange sensation in her heart as she approached the balcony. There she saw the woman from before. Draped in different shades of pink, the person had her light brown hair was pulled into a messy bun, with some flowing down in messy curls. The woman wore a pair of pink slippers and dawned a long sleeved dress with a slit in it which exposed her left leg. A pair of golden earrings dangled from her ears, sparkling slightly in the light. The sun had begun to set, creating beautiful shades of red, yellow, and orange at the sky. When the woman turned her body sideways, Sakura noticed that the woman was holding her stomach, rubbing it gently. The Kinomoto titled her heads slightly as she thought.
"Could it be...?" She wondered.Sakura then tried to look at the woman's face. Unfortunately, the woman's face was yet again covered, but her emerald green eyes showed Sakura that this person was no doubt the same woman from last time. Suddenly, she heard a small knock coming from the door behind her. The woman gave a small sigh.
"You may enter…" she called out. When the door opened, Sakura saw a young woman with pink hair and an adolescent boy with brown hair enter. The woman was frowning while the adolescent boy looked nervously between her and the woman. Sakura couldn't help but wonder that those two people felt oddly familiar. Suddenly, the pink haired woman began to talk.
"You know you've got some nerve deceiving everyone like that." She growled. The woman gave an innocent expression
"I'm not sure what you mean." She answered. Then pink haired woman suddenly grew very angry..
"You know what I mean! That baby in your stomach isn't Ugo's! It's Solomon's!" She yelled. The brown haired boy tried to soothe the enraged woman.
"Sheba…please calm down." The big began. "I'm sure that-" Sheba pointed an accusing finger at the pregnant woman.
"Makhi! How can you defend her! Did you see how betrayed Solomon was?!" Sheba accused. Makhi shook his head.
"Look. I believe in her. There must be a reason. Please, just listen." Makhi pleaded. Growling in frustration, she glared back at the pregnant woman.
"Fine. I'm only offering you chance because of our friendship." Sheba said. "But depending on your answer, this may be the last time we'll ever be friends." The woman looked back and forth between Sheba and Makhi before she dipped her head down in sadness.
"I never wanted for things to be like this…" The woman whispered. "Yet, it was to be. My heart will forever be cursed. I am only sorry that it was with the man you love so dearly." Sheba's eyes widened.
"How did you know…?" She questioned. The woman smiled sadly.
"It's because you're my friend, Sheba. That is why I know these things. I would never intentionally hurt anyone I care about." She answered. Sheba frowned slightly.
"You said you would never hurt anyone intentionally, but what about Solomon? You saw how hurt he looked. And what's this about your heart being cursed." Sheba asked. The woman's face darkened.
"I know…but it's for his sake. I can't say why, but Solomon must not know that this child is his." She whispered. "Only Ugo understands why for now, but please don't ask him. He has already done so much for me, pretending to be a father of a child that is not even his. I promise that I will reveal my secrets to you two one day." Sheba seemed dissatisfied but nodded. Makhi looked questionably at the woman.
"Ugo? Why him?" He asked. "Aren't there others that can help you?" Suddenly, a loud shout broke their conversation which was then followed by a crash. All three of the people quickly headed down to see what going on. Sakura started to follow them, but was stopped by a wall of glowing white birds.
"What?! When did these get here?!" Sakura shouted. Suddenly, she heard a voice.
I'm afraid I can't let you see anymore." The voice whispered. Some of the birds from the wall began to form a humanoid shape. "What happens next…I am ashamed of. Besides, you are needed back with your friends." The floor underneath gave way and Sakura fell in.
"I'm sorry…" The voice whispered and then disappeared. Sakura falling in the abyss struggling to escape the darkness when she heard more voices call out her name.
"Sakura…Sakura…Sakura!" They said. Opening her eyes, she saw herself looing up to the worried faces of Syaoran, Tomoyo, and Kero. Groaning, Sakura sat up.
"Ouch…What happened?" Tomoyo and Syaoran looked at each other. Just then, Kero spoke up.
"Well…how do I put it delicately? Aladdin pushed you in by accident and we all jumped in to rescue. While rescuing you two, we encounter some nasty stuff. Course, now we can't get out until we conquer this dungeon and Aladdin needs food. Apparently, when Aladdin uses Ugo, he uses his stomach or something…at least, that's what he said himself before he went unconscious." Kero explained. "We don't have any supplies on us to help him either…" Sakura looked around and saw Alibaba tending to a sleeping Aladdin. As the brunette looked around in the cool cave, her mind kept trailing back to what the voice said.
"What happens next…I am ashamed of."
"What exactly is that person afraid of? Is it connected to the shouting and the crash earlier?" Sakura wondered. Her thoughts became interrupted she heard a loud slap. Sakura turned and saw Tomoyo fuming while Syaoran was holding his reddening cheek. Alibaba was trying to soothe Tomoyo. Sakura looked at Kero who sighed.
"While you were unconscious, Syaoran kept talking about the situation about Tomoyo and Alibaba sleeping under the same roof." Kero explained. "As you can see, this happened just as you woke." As Sakura nodded in understanding when she suddenly heard voices. Immediately on guard, Sakura and the rest of the group turn and saw three people walk in. One was Morgiana, looking shocked and scared. Another one was a giant man with a metal mask. The mask had only one hole for his eye. The last person was a man with black hair and a white turban on his head. He had a black cloak and a white shirt and black pants. Upon seeing them, the man in black lit up.
"Oh! Could this him?" The man said running towards Alibaba and Aladdin. Shocked, Alibaba retreated back as the man went up to Aladdin who was still asleep.
"It is an honor to meet you, Magi." The man said as he bowed. Sakura stared at the man in confusion.
"Wait, did he say Magi? What is that?" Sakura thought. Suddenly, the man beckoned the giant masked man.
"Goltas! Carry the Magi!" He ordered. As the giant man complied, Syaoran jumped in and stood in front of the man in black.
"What! You can't just take him like that!" Syaoran yelled. The man glared at him before a look of realization appeared on his face.
"Wait one minute…you're one of my slaves!" He said. Sakura and Tomoyo, even Kero and Alibaba, looked at him in shock while Syaoran growled.
"You May have ordered me around but I was never your slave!" He retorted. Jamil laughed.
"Fool!" He said. "You will never be free! I am you're master! Now, will you follow my orders, or will I have to punish you?" Syaoran flinched slightly, but kept his ground. Frowning, Jamil shouted to the giant man.
"Goltas! Kill him!" He ordered once more. Goltas put Aladdin down and brandished a giant sword from behind. He brought it down on Syaoran, but the brunette dodged it with ease. As Syaoran tried to dodge all of Goltas's attacks, the Li suddenly tripped and fell onto the ground. Goltas brought down his sword again at the dazed man. Sakura and Tomoyo screamed and covered their eyes, unable to watch anymore. Suddenly, there was a sound of metal clashing. Opening her eyes, Sakura saw that Alibaba was in front of Syaoran, blocking Goltas's blade with his dagger. Morgiana let out a breath that the red head did not realize she held in. Jamil looked curiously at Alibaba.
"So, you blocked Goltas's attack. You must be quite skilled." Jamil said before he walked over to Goltas. Much to everyone's horror and shock, Jamil began to stab Goltas.
"You. Are. So. Useless!" Jamil growled as he plunged his sword into Goltas. Goltas grunted in pain, but he made no movement to fight back. Sighing, Jamil scanned the people in front of him until his eyes fell onto Sakura. Sakura felt chills run down her spine when he smirked.
"Well, well. What do we have here?" He murmured. Walking up to her, Jamil used his hand to grab the brunette's face and examined her closely. Sakura struggled, but Jamil was stronger. After the some time, he turned to Goltas.
"When you pick up the Magi, get the girl too! We're leaving!" He yelled. Sakura backed away, but she couldn't avoid the enormous man as he picked her up. Screaming, Sakura tried to wiggle free from the man, but Goltas held firmly onto her. As Tomoyo stood there shocked, Syaoran and Alibaba quickly ran to the exit and blocked them.
"Hold on! You're taking them anywhere!" Alibaba exclaimed. Jamil smirked at them.
"Oh really? Why don't you think clearly about what you're saying? There's more of us than you. Plus, I can easily dispatched that black haired girl in a snap. Now, do you want that?" The man threatened. Alibaba frowned while Syaoran growled in frustration. Slowly, they stepped aside. As the Jamil and his two slaves walked out with Aladdin and Sakura, Jamil yelled out to the three people.
"If you want get out of this dungeon safely, you might as well come with us!" He said. Unable to leave without Aladdin or Sakura, Syaoran, Alibaba, Tomoyo, and a hidden Kero begrudgingly followed them.
Another secret is revealed...Who is this mysterious woman who is pregnant with Solomon's child and what secret does she hold? Who stopped Sakura as she witness a certain scene unfold? What will happen to Aladdin and Sakura now that they are captured byJamil? What does Jamil plan to do with them? Can the gang rescue them in time? Until next time!
tomoyo0000001: Haha. Yeah, the conversation was not over, as you can see. Someone requested the Aladdin jealously thing, but I may do more of that in the near future. Anyways, thanks for reviewing!
Until Next Time! RR!
