Chapter 38

Yue had been waiting there for a while now. When he had gotten there, he had found Kero sleeping. The card guardian couldn't help but roll his eyes. The person that was suppose to be protecting the Card Captor woudn't be ready for anything if something attacked. While waiting for Sakura, Yue looked around the room and saw that the place belonged to an ordinary girl. Why had Sakura been the one to find the Clow book? What made her special?

"You're late," Yue murmured, walking out of the shadows.

"Yue-san," Sakura whispered, not being able to look at him. "Do you hate me?"

"Why would you ask me something like that?"

"I... I just thought that you did."

Standing there Yue found himself a little unsure about what to say. The Card Captor being such a young girl was something that he hadn't gotten over yet. While Keroberos had always been friendly towards everyone he met up with, conversation wasn't something Yue was very good at.

"I don't hate you."

"Really?" Sakura smiled.

"I just wish that Master Clow was still here."

"Yeah, Kero-chan talks about Clow-san sometimes."

Thinking back Yue recalled that Kero really did seem to be close to Clow Reed. When Yue had been awaken by Sakura, the first thing he had wanted to find out was if Clow Reed was still around. Instead the Clow cards were now in the hands of a girl that could barely use them. Yue had been rather agitated and had wanted to tear the cards away from her because she wasn't Clow.

"Are you in love with the descendent of Clow Reed?"

"Huh? Wha... what kind of question is that?"

"Answer the question."

"I... I love Syaoran," Sakura whispered, getting out the words. "But... I don't know if he loves me."

Sakura had wanted to say that out loud for a long time now. Finally being able to do that made her feel better.

"Do you remember that night when you were attacked by the man wearing the dark robes?" Yue asked, wanting to discuss what was on his mind.

Sakura didn't think she could forget even if she had tried. The night of the festival she had walking in the forest alone and been drawn to the strange tree. Everything that had happened afterwards had been a blur. The only thing she could clearly remember was seeing someone very strange in the trees for the first time, getting attacked, and ultimately waking up with Syaoran looking over her.

"That was where I first meet him wasn't it? I got hurt the last time I was there. If Syaoran hadn't been there, I-"

The area where she had gotten hurt started hurting.

"I'm not surprised this was where you first ran into Lucien."

Sakura didn't know what Yue was talking about at first. That was when it hit her. It was the name of the person that had attacked her.

"So that's his name."

"I don't remember much about him."

"You met him from before? What was he like back then before he lost his memory?"

"Master Clow helped a sorceress create Lucien. This was back when Keroberos still hadn't been made yet. I don't understand what is making him act this way."

Sakura wondered if there was anyway they could get Lucien to remember who he was. If Yue had known him then maybe he could convince him to stop what he had been doing? For some reason he had gotten the impression that harming the Clow cards was going to return his memories.

"Do you think Clow-san is really speaking to him?"

"I don't know, but I'm planning to find out. Your friend mentioned to that Lucien had been hearing voices is this correct?"

"Yeah, while Tomoyo-chan was with him, she thought that he was talking about Clow Reed."

"I'm planning to do a spell, so I can hear what he has been hearing. It might be the only way for us to find out what's really going on. But if I find out that it's really Master Clow..."

Sakura didn't understand what Yue was trying to tell her.

"What will you do?"

"If it's Master Clow that has been speaking with Lucien then I will have to return all the Clow cards back into the book and bury it where no one can find it. I can not endanger this entire town if the cards are that dangerous."

Sakura turned silent.

"Maybe if we find the sorceress that created him, we can put an end to this! What was her name? Do you remember?"

"The sorceress that created Lucien is long gone now"

"Maybe... maybe we can ask her family or something? Do you know where she had been from?"

"The sorceress was from the Li clan."

That revelation surprised Sakura. The sorceress that created such a dangerous creature was from same family as Syaoran? Did Syaoran know this already and hadn't told her? Everything seemed to be spinning as Sakura sit down on her bed. Did this mean the Li clan wanted to destory the Clow cards?

"She was from Li's family?" Sakura exclaimed, shocked.

"That's why I wanted to ask you if you have feelings for Syaoran Li, I'm afraid his family might be the reason for why Lucien has awaken."

"No! Syaoran would never be involved with anything like that!"

"I believe you."

As Sakura thought about what she had been told. No matter what happened, Sakura wouldn't think of Syaoran as the kind of person that hid things from her. As soon as Syaoran returned to Tomoeda, she was going to have a long talk with him.

"Yue-san, thank you for telling me what you know."

...

Hong Kong, China

Many miles away, a young woman was drinking tea from a cup that rested on a nearby table. Yelan placed the tea cup back onto the table and looked up at the three cloaked old men that were standing in front of her. The three elders were getting impatient waiting for her. Each one of them wore a dark brown cloak and probably looked quite menacing to someone that had never encountered them before. They were quite powerful and just one of them would be a dangerous enemy. Yelan however was never impressed by them.

They had summoned her not more then a hour ago to speak about what needed to be done. Yelan had wanted them to leave her alone. Talking about doing things behind her son's back was something she really despised. The only reason she had let them continue doing what they were doing was because they had the same goals, which was for Syaoran to be safe and to become the leader of the clan. Unfortunately the vision that they had gotten had threaten all that. Syaoran was in danger whether Yelan had wanted to believe it or not.

Yelan picked up the tea cup again to slip the rest of the tea. There was a part of her that secretly enjoyed making the Elders wait for her to finish. When she was done she finally gave them a look that told the Elders that she was ready to talk.

"He is almost here," the first elder commented, standing beside Yelan. "It won't be long until we see him."

"If you want to talk to him you will have to do it without me, I can't be there. I will not be a part of this."

"You're the head of the clan, Yelan. You should be the one to talk to him."

"I will not," Yelan responded, getting up and glaring at the three old men that were there around her. "Now leave."

Yelan watched as they slowly left her large room. This plan that the elders had thought up was something that she had strongly disagreed with. There was no good reason for not letting her just talk to her son about what they had wanted him to do. The Elders were starting to become a problem. It was widely known how much the elders despised anyone outside of their clan and at times. As Yelan glanced at where they were headed, she knew that she would have to keep a watchful eye over her son when he arrived.

...

The three men entered the large study that was on the very top floor of the mansion. All the large windows had been opened and they were now just waiting for their guest to arrive. In a few minutes he finally did. The dark robes he wore contrasted greatly what the plain clothing that the elders were wearing.

"Why did you release me from the prison?" the man in dark demanded. "Who are you?"

About two hours ago he had starting hearing a very odd voice in his head telling him that he needed to be at this place. It had taken him a few hours to arrive at the mansion. Now he wanted answers.

"We want to help you get your memory back."

"What would I have to do for you?"

"Make sure that Syaoran stays away from the Card Captor and we will show you how you can defeat Yue and take the Clow cards. We will use our power to give you back your memories if you get the cards for us. We must destory them to keep the world safe of their powers. Also you will not harm Syaoran, no matter what happens."

"Why are you magicians doing all this?"

"We have seen in a vision Syaoran will leave the clan if he stays any longer with the Card Captor. We can't let that happen."

The man in dark narrowed his eyes at the three men that were standing around him, trapping him. They weren't ordinary magicians and he didn't want to risk getting into a fight with them. They had been responsilble for freeing him.

"I thought you people would have wanted the cards."

"We have no interest in them anymore. Syaoran is more important to us and we can not let him leave this family. Will you do what we have asked?"

"I will."

One of the elders took out a small item and tossed at him. The man in black caught the small box and opened it. It was a magical item that would be able to help him get to the Clow cards and might even be able to defeat Yue. As he turned to leave, he felt a very familiar aura that was close by. It felt nearly identical to the aura that the boy that held the Clow cards had. Ignoring the feeling he took flight.

Yelan stood outside ther room and watched as the guest left. The three cloaked men had noticed that she had arrived.

"I hope you three know what you are doing," Yelan said, turning to return back to where she had been sitting to wait for her son.

Yelan disagrees with the Clan elders about how to deal with her son. Eriol and Kaho will play an important part a couple of chapters from now, and I will say that there is a reason for why Eriol has been away for so long.
