Chapter 10 ~ The Past

By: Ayane-chan

-----

Scene: Inside the Gryffindor common room. Everyone's sleepy but, still was did their homework. Ayane decided to help the people who were having some trouble. And the rest decided to ponder on what Ayane said.

"But I'm still not sure how you met Ayane, Eriol-kun." Sakura said.

"Yeah, if that Myru person is a time detective how did you meet her." Syaoran glared at the girl he pointed at. Ayane stuck her tongue out.

". . . let's see. . ." Eriol said.

"See what?" asked Tomoyo.

". . . Can't tell you."

"Huh? Why not?!" asked Syaoran.

"You'll find out sooner or later."

"But, Eriol-kun you said when that certain someone finally comes to Hogwarts, you'll tell us." Tomoyo said.

"But there's still more you should know . . . besides, just having Myru- chan here won't be enough, you'll get confused.

"You'll be confused by the way she talks too!!!" Ayane shouted. "She talks weird and uses big words and she believes in all kinds of mumbo jumbo!"

*Myru: When I get my hands on you. . .*

*sweat drop*

"You don't really think that about. . ." started Eriol.

"Yes, I do."

-----

It's the middle of the night . . . Myru was wandering around the halls and wandered in and out of a various places, it seems she's searching for something. She goes into the next door and who do you think she saw?

"Kaitou!"

Ayane looks at Myru. ". . ."

"What are you doing here?"

"I should be asking YOU that question."

"Err. . . okay, I was searching for a star card."

"The shot, right?"

"How did you know?"

Ayane held a mini pink/yellow creature inside of a bubble. "Sakura-chan'll be happy when I show her this." She smirked.

*sigh* "Might as well go back to bed." Myru turned to leave.

"Wait!"

She turned around.

"Gomenasai."

"It's alright."

Ayane follows her out of the door and she goes back to the Gryffindor common room, Myru went back to her room.

-----

Sakura awoke suddenly. She sensed a card. Sakura quickly got out of bed (she tripped) and out of the door. But when she got out she wasn't the only one disturbed by the presence. . .

"Eriol-kun, Syaoran-kun!! You guys are awake?"

Eriol looks back at Sakura. "You feel the presence of the card too?"

"Yes."

"It's coming from outside." Syaoran said absentmindedly. He was looking at the fireplace.

"Hoe. . . how did you. . ." She was caught off by Syaoran.

"It's the return card."

Sakura & Eriol gasp. And then Syaoran's head falls onto his shoulders, he blinks twice, and saw that Eriol & Sakura were looking at him questioningly.

"Nani?"

"Syaoran-kun. . ."

"It seems as if you were in a trance. Someone was communicating through you probably."

"Then who?"

Just then the hear giggling. A familiar red-eyed girl comes out from the shadows. "Me, of course."

"I should've known." Eriol laughed.

"You guys better go, and here." Ayane opens her palm and she shows the shot card.

"The sh..." she put her hands over her mouth. She got out the key, said the magic words and *poof* she got the wand. "SHOT CARD return to your power confine! SHOT!!"

The card returned to its 'card' form and into Sakura's hands.

"You better hurry; the return card is near Hagrid's hut, go!" Ayane said almost forcing them out of the common room.

-----

[...my story is starting to suck]

Sakura ran towards Hagrid's hut with Eriol & Syaoran following. When they reached it there was a crystal ball.

"Hoe? What's this?" Sakura bent down to touch it and when she did, it glowed once and it sucked them in!!

-----

Sakura woke up to find herself not in the past of Hogwarts but somewhere else. Syaoran was next to her lying on her shoulder but Eriol wasn't there . . . she looked around and she saw Clow Reed standing watching a familiar red-headed girl & blue-haired girl playing with Cerberus. Yue was watching them with an actually smiling.

"Clow-sama!" Sakura shouted quietly (oxymoron!).

He turned his head and smiled at Sakura. "Hello again, Sakura."

"How did we get here?"

At this point Syaoran woke up and stared up at Clow Reed. "You're. . . you're . . . you're CLOW REED!" Syaoran shouted.

"Why yes, yes I am." Clow joked. He smiled at his descendent. "Hello my cute little descendent."

*sweat drop* ". . . I'd expect him to say that." Syaoran mumbled.

Sakura got up and let a hand out for Syaoran and accepted it. "Excuse me Clow-sama, who are they?" Sakura asked pointing to the two small girls.

The red-headed one looked up at them and ran to Clow Reed and clung onto him. "Clow-sama!! Who are they?" the little girl pointed.

"It's not polite to point, Ayane-chan."

Syaoran had a look of surprise on his face. "You mean this kid is actually Ayane?!?!"

Ayane glared at him and stuck out her tongue. "I'm the only Ayane in the whole world and I'm 4 ½!!"

Syaoran glared back. "Good for you gaki."

[Syaoran you're evil!]

Ayane shouted at the top of her lungs, "I'm NOT A GAKI!!"

This caused Myru to come over. "What's happening, Clow-sama?"

"Ayane-chan is having a fight my one of my descendents."

"Descendent?" Myru turned around and saw Ayane arguing with Syaoran. "You mean him?" she pointed.

Clow Reed nodded. "And this is Sakura."

"Hello, Myru-san."

Myru giggled. "You're funny Sakura-san."

"Hoe?"

"I'm Myru, I'm 11."

Ayane shouted. "You're boring Syaoran!!!!!"

"Huh? How do you know my name?!"

Ayane smiled and ran to Cerberus and petted his head. "Secret."

*glare* *sweat drop*

"Clow-sama, I'm going to play with Ayane, okay?"

Clow Reed nodded. "Okay. I'm going to talk with these two."

"Okay."

Myru ran to Ayane.

Clow turned to Sakura and Syaoran and smiled. "You'll be wondering how I managed to find these two troublemakers?"

Sakura nodded. "How?"

"Ayane's parents brought her here because of financial problems and Myru came here from her own free will."

Syaoran looked sadly at the happy kids. "That's so sad. . ."

"But how are they here now?"

". . . I used the last of my powers to send them to the future."

"You must of cared of them dearly then, Clow-sama." Sakura said.

Clow looked at Sakura and smiled. "Very much."

Then all of a sudden everything was getting blurry and they returned back to the future, [and Hogwarts].

They looked around, Harry, Ron, Hermione, Tomoyo, & Ayane joined the group now.

"Well? What did you see?" asked Ron anxiously.

Sakura looked at Ayane and almost cried. ". . . Ayane-chan. You're past it's so sad. . . so sad." Tears formed in her eyes.

"Huh? What are you-"

Sakura knelt and started to cry silently. "I'm so sorry."

-----

*sob* What'll happen next? Will Sakura capture the return card? Dun dun dun.

Ayane: Nani?

Myru: That's so sad!!
