Chapter 3: Finding a New Enemy
~Flashback~
"Bring your star wand out, you might need it." Sakura recited the incantation for the star wand and the key pendant transformed into a wand. Suddenly, the room was filled with darkness.
"Oh no, what happened now?"
~End Flashback~
~Somewhere not in Tomoeda~
"Are you alright Sakura-chan?" Syaoran place himself in battle stance.
"Yeah, I'm alright but I'm worried about the others. Were they engulfed in the darkness as well?" Sakura reached for her cards and held her staff tightly.
"Sakura-san, everyone is alright." A voice sounded from somewhere on Sakura's left.
"Eriol-kun, is that you???" Sakura's eyes widened in surprise.
"Sakura-chan," a small melodious voice was heard. "I'm here too demo (but) I can't see anything."
"Tomoyo-chan, you too? Is Chiharu-chan, Naoko-chan and Rika-chan here too?"
"Sakura-chan, use the Light Card! That way, we'll be able to see where we are now." Syaoran called out to Sakura. "Hurry!"
"Alright then, Light Card it is." She pulled out a card from the bottom of the deck in her hand. 'Please let this card be Light.' She prayed. "Release and dispel, Light!"
A brilliant light radiated from the card which Sakura used. 'Thank you kami-sama.' Sakura murmured under her breath as Light returned to its card form. (AN/ Light's power is still in effect here.) Sakura looked around. She saw Syaoran not too far on her right and she saw Tomoyo and Eriol were on her left. She didn't see anyone else though. They somehow ended up in some sort of throne room that looked as if it was used as a battle ground. There was beautiful jewel encrusted throne in the center of the room that looked like an antique.
"Where are we?" Syaoran, Tomoyo and Eriol walked over to Sakura and they all scanned the area.
"I've been here before..." everyone looked at Tomoyo in surprise. "What?"
"You've been here before? But how can that be? This place is radiating evil magic everywhere." Syaoran looked at Tomoyo very confused.
"I've been here before too." This time it was Eriol who spoke.
"Where is this place Eriol-kun?" Sakura looked at Eriol in fear. "I don't like the feeling that I'm getting from this place..."
"I myself have not been here, but my memory says the He was here." Eriol paced around the room. "He had a fierce battle here but I cannot remember how the battle started or why it happened."
"Are you talking about Clow Reed?" Syaoran moved in front of Sakura as if trying to protect her.
"Yes my dear little descendant." Eriol replied with a smirk.
"Don't you call me that you old grampa!" Syaoran raised his sword against Eriol's throat.
"This isn't the time to play games you guys! Something brought us here and we need to be on guard! We can't let our defenses down right now!" Sakura said trying to restrain Syaoran from murdering Eriol. Syaoran relaxed and smiled at Sakura.
"Just playing around Sakura-chan, you know I can't kill him." Syaoran grinned at her. 'Too bad he's my friend... I could kill him...' Syaoran thought as he clenched his fist.
"We're in the place where many magical battles have occurred. Not many people have been here. Only those possessing magic can possibly come here." Eriol traced the lines on the ruins of the columns nearby.
"But Eriol-kun, why are we here? We couldn't have possibly made ourselves to come here." Sakura moved closer to Syaoran.
"I don't know. Unless..." Eriol looked thoughtful again.
"Unless what Hiiragizawa?" Syaoran was beginning to get impatient.
"Unless... if my memory is correct, Clow Reed never finished the battle. His power was only powerful enough to confine his enemy for a millennium. If things go wrong, history could repeat itself..."
"Are you saying that we have to fight the same enemy that even Clow Reed was unable to completely defeat?" Sakura began to pace around as well. Eriol was quiet for some time.
"I don't know. I can't be sure. It's also possible that we have to fight a new enemy instead."
"But how is it possible that Tomoyo-chan's been here before? Tomoyo- chan, can you-" Sakura looked around. "Where'd Tomoyo-chan go?"
Tomoyo was nowhere insight. Sakura, Syaoran and especially Eriol began to panic. they called out to her, trying to find her as son as possible.
"Tomoyo-chan!"
"Tomoyo-san!"
"Daidouji-san!"
"Where are you?"
Sakura knelt down and began to cry. "Tomoyo-chan, where are you? This place isn't safe, something could happen to you!"
"I was here..." Tomoyo's voice came from somewhere on the far end of the throne room. "I've been here before..."
"Tomoyo-chan!" Sakura ran to her best friend and hugged her very tightly. "I was so worried!"
"I knelt here and I... cried..." Tomoyo kept on talking to herself. Eriol and Syaoran ran to where Sakura was standing.
"Daidouji, where were you?" Syaoran scratched his head in confusion. "I was sure that we checked here."
Sakura pulled away from Tomoyo and hugged Syaoran tightly and he blushed very hard. "I thought something bad happened to Tomoyo-chan, I was so worried... I'm so happy that she's alright."
Eriol walked towards Tomoyo and pulled her into an embrace. "Tomoyo- san, I was so worried about you...don't ever do that again..." he whispered softly into her ear as she stared off into space, not noticing Eriol at all.
"A battle... I remember him... he almost died... I cried for him and I... died..." suddenly scenes flashed before her eyes. A raven-haired girl holding a man in a blue cloak crying. Blood splattering all over the man's face. A ball of light emerging from the girl who was crying very hard. The ball of violet light entered the man and the girl fainted. An evil looking man frozen like a statue.
Suddenly, an orange light came out of the jewel encrusted throne in the center of the room. It was heading right for Tomoyo!
"Tomoyo, No!" Eriol quickly jumped in front of her, intercepting the beam of orange light. The blast hit Eriol with full contact, making him fly across the room. Tomoyo immediately snapped out of her trance as Eriol's head hit the pavement.
"ERIOL!!!" Tomoyo ran to where Eriol fell. "NO!!!" Tomoyo knelt down beside him and held his hand in hers. His head was bleeding profusely. "No Eriol, don't die! Why'd you go in front of me anyway? You got hurt!"
Eriol weakly looked at her. He smiled and held her hand to his cheek. "I couldn't let you get hurt my sweet Tomoyo. Don't worry, I won't die. I just need to rest..." Eriol squeezed Tomoyo's hand and fainted.
"Oh no... ERIOL!" she threw herself on top of him hugging him. A violet light came forth from Tomoyo's hand. She was crying and the violet light entered Eriol. The bleeding from his head instantly stopped and his wounds closed. Sakura walked over to Tomoyo and knelt down beside her.
"Shhh Tomoyo-chan, don't cry." Sakura pulled Tomoyo from Eriol and hugged her. "Syaoran-kun, go check Eriol-kun for a pulse."
Syaoran walked over to Eriol and felt for his pulse. "He's alright, he's just asleep." He looked at Eriol's head in surprise. "The bleeding, it's gone..."
"I was sure that he was bleeding. Tomoyo-chan, what-" Sakura couldn't finish her sentence for the orange light that blasted Eriol earlier had taken a form. Tomoyo stood up and glared at him.
"Who are you and why did you blast my Eriol?" She began to walk towards the form threateningly. "You'd better answer soon!"
The orange light turned into a man in black robes. He smiled at Tomoyo toothily and sat down on the throne behind him. "Just like last time... come to me my sweet Lavender..."
"Answer me now! Who on earth are you?" Tomoyo glared at him in pure hatred. Her violet aura was blaring brightly- wait, she has an aura?
"Tomoyo-chan, you have magic!" Sakura ran to Tomoyo trying to calm her down. "You need to control your anger! I think that you have magic!"
"Huh?" Tomoyo looked at Sakura in confusion. Syaoran walked over to Sakura's right side shielding her from the view of the man on the throne. "Tomoyo-chan, you have magic!"
Tomoyo looked at her questioningly. "How can that be? How do you know?"
"Daidouji-san, you had an aura earlier when you were upset. You have magic!"
"I don't remember these people from last time... who are you two?" the man looked at Sakura and Syaoran. "Answer me!"
"Why should I give my name to low scum like you?" Syaoran drew his sword out. "Come on, let's take this guy down."
"I'm not in the mood for games little boy! Have you no idea who I am?" the man thundered and the ground shook violently. Sakura and Syaoran just stood their ground, unfazed.
"No, why should we know of someone that hurts our friends?" Sakura brought out her cards and picked one from the deck. "Capture that man over there, release and dispel, Windy!"
Windy's true form came out of the card and flew towards the man. Just as it was about to confine him, he broke through the card's power.
"What the...? How is it that you possess the Clow Cards?" The man moved towards Sakura threateningly. "Answer me little girl!"
Sakura merely kept a smug smile on her face. "Just because you got through Windy, it doesn't mean that I don't have other cards that can defeat you. Who are you anyway?"
"I am the most powerful sorcerer in existence, Mifisto!" lightning bolts were seen in the sky as he announced his name. "You are no match for me! How did you come across the Clow Cards anyway?"
"That's for me to know and you to find out. They aren't Clow Cards anymore. They're more powerful and if you think even for one second that you can beat us, you've got to face reality buster 'cause I don't show mercy to people that hurts my friends!" She pointed her staff at Mifisto. "Prepare!"
"I've got no time for this. I need to do something more important right now." He pointed at Sakura and Syaoran. "You were not here last time so do not meddle in things that do not concern you!"
"Anyone who hurts Tomoyo-chan is my concern as well as hers!"
"Tomoyo-chan? Who is Tomoyo-chan?" He looked at Tomoyo who was being restrained by Syaoran, trying to get at him. "Ah... Lavender... my queen... this time I promise you I shan't fail!"
"Don't play stupid you freaking jerk!" Mifisto walked over to Sakura and stroked her cheek. Sakura slapped his hand away as soon as his fingers touched her cheek. She punched him in the nose, but he was barely scratched.
"You cannot harm me." He walked over to Tomoyo and smiled at her. "I'm sorry my dear, I'm afraid I have another ambition now." His eyes glinted in Sakura's direction. "This time, I will have more power..." He walked over to Sakura and knelt down in front of her.
"What the heck are you doing?" He grabbed Sakura's hands and kissed it gently. As soon as his lips grazed her hand, she pulled it back and slapped him on the face.
"GET AWAY FROM MY SAKURA!" Syaoran yelled at him and pointed his sword to the man's throat.
"WHO THE HECK DO YOU THINK YOU ARE?! I DON'T LIKE YOU, I HATE YOU! YOU CAN'T JUST COME UP TO ME AND KISS MY HAND!" Sakura slapped him again and ran behind Syaoran. Syaoran pulled back his sword and thrust it at Mifisto but...
"Where'd he go?" when Syaoran's sword was supposed to make contact with him, all he got was air. Both Sakura and Syaoran were blazing with anger. Their auras were incredibly bright and they seemed to intertwine with each other.
"You cannot harm me." Mifisto reappeared at the throne. He then was taken a back at the behavior of their auras. "Their auras, why are they intertwined? Will they not explode? They seem stronger together, now may not be the time." Sakura and Syaoran's auras became even brighter and Mifisto was beginning to fear their power. "I must leave you for now. Until the next time we meet Lavender and," he winked at Sakura. "My sweet Sakura." He then disappeared.
"How dare he touch me!" Sakura hugged Syaoran tightly, tears streaming out of her eyes. "I can't believe it... he felt so disgusting..."
Syaoran held Sakura close to him and stroked her back. Their auras were calming down as Syaoran held Sakura even closer. "I won't let him touch you next time. I'll kill that disgusting creature... touching my Sakura..." he muttered under his breath.
Tomoyo ran over to Eriol again and she was crying again. "Don't die, please be alright..."
"Huh? Tomoyo-san, why are you crying?" Eriol sat up rubbing his head. "Ow... I'd better make a shield next time instead intercepting it by myself."
"You're awake!" Tomoyo flung herself on top of Eriol, hugging him tightly. Eriol blushed a nice bright red color. "I thought you wouldn't wake up ever!"
"Ano... Sakura-chan, I did tell her that my freakin' ancestor was just asleep right?" Syaoran retracted his sword. "Didn't I say that?"
"Hai... I guess that Tomoyo-chan was really worried about him. That was a pretty big blow that he was blasted with." Sakura and Syaoran walked over to Tomoyo and Eriol. "Hey lover birds, shouldn't we get outta here before we start celebrating?"
The two quickly turned away from each other, blushing madly.
"Sure."
"Okay."
"How do we get out of here anyway?" Syaoran looked around the room. "I don't know where we are exactly."
"Well," Eriol brought out his staff. "We reached this place due to magic, so we should be able to leave here by magic as well."
"We should get going before people begin to worry about us, ne Syaoran-kun?" Sakura smiled at him.
"Yeah..."
"I'll take care of it." Eriol waved his staff around and soon the four of them returned to the classroom.
~Back in the Classroom~
"Remind me to travel by my own magic next time. Yours made my head spin." Syaoran rubbed his head.
"What are you talking about Syaoran-kun? I didn't feel dizzy at all." Sakura turned her staff back into its pendant form.
"I felt perfectly fine too." Tomoyo brushed bits of dust off her skirt.
"What the...? Hey Hiiragizawa, why'd I end up with my head spinning?"
"I did that so you'd shut up until we got back home."
"NANI?!" Syaoran launched himself on Eriol trying to choke him. Eriol was just laughing like mad and trying to push Syaoran off him. "YOU ARE GONNA PAY!!!"
"Hey, relax you two. It's Sakura-chan's birthday and we don't want any interruptions of the party do we?" Chiharu, Naoko, Rika and Yamazaki walked over to them. Chiharu was wagging her finger at the two boys. "We don't want Sakura-chan to worry now do we?"
Syaoran and Eriol instantly stopped fighting. "Huh? You mean you guys didn't notice anything?"
"Huh? It's my birthday? Oh Yeah, I totally forgot!" everyone sweatdropped when she said that.
"Li-kun, the only thing that's been happening is Sakura-chan chasing you and now you trying to choke Hiiragizawa-kun. Of course we've noticed that! Oh yeah, it's your birthday Sakura-chan. I have no idea why you forgot that..." Naoko took a bite of her sushi. "In case you didn't know, it's kinda hard to miss you guys."
"Demo Chiharu-chan, you really didn't notice us disappearing?" Sakura looked at Chiharu confused.
"No."
"How about the earthquake?"
"No."
"The lights going out?"
"No."
"My sushi disappearing?"
"Yes."
"Kyaa, I just forgot! You stole my sushi!" Sakura pointed at Syaoran accusingly. "Give me back my sushi!"
"Ano... I can't exactly give it back. I ate it remember?"
"Oh yeah..."
"Hey everyone, did you know that three centuries ago, eating was-" Yamazaki was cut off by Chiharu choking him. "haha..."
"Not now Yamazaki! It's not time for lies!"
"Haha... why are you choking me? I'm only trying to tell my-"
"YAMAZAKI!" Everyone in the room yelled at him. "DON'T TELL LIES!"
"O-okay..." (AN/ couldn't have told a fic without those lies!)
"We're gonna go and get more snacks." Rika followed Naoko and Chiharu who was dragging Yamazaki along by his collar to the buffet line. "Let's talk later!"
"Uh... okay..." the four of them sweatdropped at the sight of Chiharu and Yamazaki.
"Don't you think it's kind of... odd that they didn't notice that we were gone?" Everyone looked at Syaoran.
"Come to think of it, yeah... How come they didn't notice it? I'd worry if Syaoran-kun, Tomoyo-chan or Eriol-kun would disappear for a while."
"Mifisto must've stopped time while we were gone. That's the only reason I can think of." Eriol frowned thoughtfully. 'And why he seemed to be so familiar with the cards.'
"Finally! My freakin' ancestor is unsure of something!"
"For your information, my little descendant, there are many things which I do not know of."
"Like what?"
"Like why your auras were intertwined and they were cooperating."
"What's wrong with that? Despite the situation, I found that to be a 'Kawaii Moment' between Sakura-chan and Li-kun!"
"My dear Tomoyo-san," Tomoyo blushed at hearing this. "The auras of people with the gift of sorcery are too powerful to interact with another aura similar to theirs or else explosions could happen. Even I cannot use my full aura while Sakura-san or Li-kun has their aura at full."
"Is it because we are too weak?" Sakura began to worry again. "How did you know about the auras anyway? You were unconscious at that time."
"Sakura-san, just because I was unconscious, it doesn't mean that I could not feel your auras. It was more powerful than the power that Clow's aura ever had. I also felt Tomoyo-san's magic while I was unconscious. It was quite weak, but I'm sure now that she is also a sorceress like you Sakura-san."
"Yay!" Sakura jumped on top of Tomoyo and gave her a big hug. "You have magic now!"
Tomoyo realized something that made her eyes starry. "Does that mean... I can make Sakura-chan more kawaii outfits faster now because I have magic?" Everyone sweatdropped.
"Hai my sweet Tomoyo-san." Tomoyo blushed again.
"Tomoyo-chan, why is your face red? Are you alright?"
"I-I'm fine Sakura-chan." She caught Eriol staring at her. Tomoyo blushed even redder. "I'm perfectly fine."
"Okay Tomoyo-chan! If you say so!"
"Wanna go get something to eat?"
"Hai Syaoran-kun, I wanna get food to eat because somebody stole my sushi!"
"He he he... It ain't my fault that your guard was down!"
"MOU Syaoran-kun!"
~Somewhere far away~
"So she is now the most powerful sorceress eh? Looks like she will be my queen this time..." The dark figure in a black cloak took an orange sphere and muttered a spell under his breath. He could now see the image of a smiling auburn-haired girl in the sphere. "This will be fun..."
~To be Continued~

Chapter 3: Finding a New Enemy
~Flashback~
"Bring your star wand out, you might need it." Sakura recited the incantation for the star wand and the key pendant transformed into a wand. Suddenly, the room was filled with darkness.
"Oh no, what happened now?"
~End Flashback~
~Somewhere not in Tomoeda~
"Are you alright Sakura-chan?" Syaoran place himself in battle stance.
"Yeah, I'm alright but I'm worried about the others. Were they engulfed in the darkness as well?" Sakura reached for her cards and held her staff tightly.
"Sakura-san, everyone is alright." A voice sounded from somewhere on Sakura's left.
"Eriol-kun, is that you???" Sakura's eyes widened in surprise.
"Sakura-chan," a small melodious voice was heard. "I'm here too demo (but) I can't see anything."
"Tomoyo-chan, you too? Is Chiharu-chan, Naoko-chan and Rika-chan here too?"
"Sakura-chan, use the Light Card! That way, we'll be able to see where we are now." Syaoran called out to Sakura. "Hurry!"
"Alright then, Light Card it is." She pulled out a card from the bottom of the deck in her hand. 'Please let this card be Light.' She prayed. "Release and dispel, Light!"
A brilliant light radiated from the card which Sakura used. 'Thank you kami-sama.' Sakura murmured under her breath as Light returned to its card form. (AN/ Light's power is still in effect here.) Sakura looked around. She saw Syaoran not too far on her right and she saw Tomoyo and Eriol were on her left. She didn't see anyone else though. They somehow ended up in some sort of throne room that looked as if it was used as a battle ground. There was beautiful jewel encrusted throne in the center of the room that looked like an antique.
"Where are we?" Syaoran, Tomoyo and Eriol walked over to Sakura and they all scanned the area.
"I've been here before..." everyone looked at Tomoyo in surprise. "What?"
"You've been here before? But how can that be? This place is radiating evil magic everywhere." Syaoran looked at Tomoyo very confused.
"I've been here before too." This time it was Eriol who spoke.
"Where is this place Eriol-kun?" Sakura looked at Eriol in fear. "I don't like the feeling that I'm getting from this place..."
"I myself have not been here, but my memory says the He was here." Eriol paced around the room. "He had a fierce battle here but I cannot remember how the battle started or why it happened."
"Are you talking about Clow Reed?" Syaoran moved in front of Sakura as if trying to protect her.
"Yes my dear little descendant." Eriol replied with a smirk.
"Don't you call me that you old grampa!" Syaoran raised his sword against Eriol's throat.
"This isn't the time to play games you guys! Something brought us here and we need to be on guard! We can't let our defenses down right now!" Sakura said trying to restrain Syaoran from murdering Eriol. Syaoran relaxed and smiled at Sakura.

"I don't know. I can't be sure. It's also possible that we have to fight a new enemy instead."
"But how is it possible that Tomoyo-chan's been here before? Tomoyo- chan, can you-" Sakura looked around. "Where'd Tomoyo-chan go?"
Tomoyo was nowhere insight. Sakura, Syaoran and especially Eriol began to panic. they called out to her, trying to find her as son as possible.
"Tomoyo-chan!"
"Tomoyo-san!"
"Daidouji-san!"
"Where are you?"
Sakura knelt down and began to cry. "Tomoyo-chan, where are you? This place isn't safe, something could happen to you!"
"I was here..." Tomoyo's voice came from somewhere on the far end of the throne room. "I've been here before..."
"Tomoyo-chan!" Sakura ran to her best friend and hugged her very tightly. "I was so worried!"
"I knelt here and I... cried..." Tomoyo kept on talking to herself. Eriol and Syaoran ran to where Sakura was standing.
"Daidouji, where were you?" Syaoran scratched his head in confusion. "I was sure that we checked here."
Sakura pulled away from Tomoyo and hugged Syaoran tightly and he blushed very hard. "I thought something bad happened to Tomoyo-chan, I was so worried... I'm so happy that she's alright."
Eriol walked towards Tomoyo and pulled her into an embrace. "Tomoyo- san, I was so worried about you...don't ever do that again..." he whispered softly into her ear as she stared off into space, not noticing Eriol at all.
"A battle... I remember him... he almost died... I cried for him and I... died..." suddenly scenes flashed before her eyes. A raven-haired girl holding a man in a blue cloak crying. Blood splattering all over the man's face. A ball of light emerging from the girl who was crying very hard. The ball of violet light entered the man and the girl fainted. An evil looking man frozen like a statue.
Suddenly, an orange light came out of the jewel encrusted throne in the center of the room. It was heading right for Tomoyo!
"Tomoyo, No!" Eriol quickly jumped in front of her, intercepting the beam of orange light. The blast hit Eriol with full contact, making him fly across the room. Tomoyo immediately snapped out of her trance as Eriol's head hit the pavement.
"ERIOL!!!" Tomoyo ran to where Eriol fell. "NO!!!" Tomoyo knelt down beside him and held his hand in hers. His head was bleeding profusely. "No Eriol, don't die! Why'd you go in front of me anyway? You got hurt!"
Eriol weakly looked at her. He smiled and held her hand to his cheek. "I couldn't let you get hurt my sweet Tomoyo. Don't worry, I won't die. I just need to rest..." Eriol squeezed Tomoyo's hand and fainted.
"Oh no... ERIOL!" she threw herself on top of him hugging him. A violet light came forth from Tomoyo's hand. She was crying and the violet light entered Eriol. The bleeding from his head instantly stopped and his wounds closed. Sakura walked over to Tomoyo and knelt down beside her.
"Shhh Tomoyo-chan, don't cry." Sakura pulled Tomoyo from Eriol and hugged her. "Syaoran-kun, go check Eriol-kun for a pulse."
Syaoran walked over to Eriol and felt for his pulse. "He's alright, he's just asleep." He looked at Eriol's head in surprise. "The bleeding, it's gone..."
"I was sure that he was bleeding. Tomoyo-chan, what-" Sakura couldn't finish her sentence for the orange light that blasted Eriol earlier had taken a form. Tomoyo stood up and glared at him.
"Who are you and why did you blast my Eriol?" She began to walk towards the form threateningly. "You'd better answer soon!"
The orange light turned into a man in black robes. He smiled at Tomoyo toothily and sat down on the throne behind him. "Just like last time... come to me my sweet Lavender..."
"Answer me now! Who on earth are you?" Tomoyo glared at him in pure hatred. Her violet aura was blaring brightly- wait, she has an aura?
"Tomoyo-chan, you have magic!" Sakura ran to Tomoyo trying to calm her down. "You need to control your anger! I think that you have magic!"
"Huh?" Tomoyo looked at Sakura in confusion. Syaoran walked over to Sakura's right side shielding her from the view of the man on the throne. "Tomoyo-chan, you have magic!"
Tomoyo looked at her questioningly. "How can that be? How do you know?"
"Daidouji-san, you had an aura earlier when you were upset. You have magic!"
"I don't remember these people from last time... who are you two?" the man looked at Sakura and Syaoran. "Answer me!"
"Why should I give my name to low scum like you?" Syaoran drew his sword out. "Come on, let's take this guy down."
"I'm not in the mood for games little boy! Have you no idea who I am?" the man thundered and the ground shook violently. Sakura and Syaoran just stood their ground, unfazed.
"No, why should we know of someone that hurts our friends?" Sakura brought out her cards and picked one from the deck. "Capture that man over there, release and dispel, Windy!"
Windy's true form came out of the card and flew towards the man. Just as it was about to confine him, he broke through the card's power.
"What the...? How is it that you possess the Clow Cards?" The man moved towards Sakura threateningly. "Answer me little girl!"
Sakura merely kept a smug smile on her face. "Just because you got through Windy, it doesn't mean that I don't have other cards that can defeat you. Who are you anyway?"
"I am the most powerful sorcerer in existence, Mifisto!" lightning bolts were seen in the sky as he announced his name. "You are no match for me! How did you come across the Clow Cards anyway?"
"That's for me to know and you to find out. They aren't Clow Cards anymore. They're more powerful and if you think even for one second that you can beat us, you've got to face reality buster 'cause I don't show mercy to people that hurts my friends!" She pointed her staff at Mifisto. "Prepare!"
"I've got no time for this. I need to do something more important right now." He pointed at Sakura and Syaoran. "You were not here last time so do not meddle in things that do not concern you!"
"Anyone who hurts Tomoyo-chan is my concern as well as hers!"
"Tomoyo-chan? Who is Tomoyo-chan?" He looked at Tomoyo who was being restrained by Syaoran, trying to get at him. "Ah... Lavender... my queen... this time I promise you I shan't fail!"
"Don't play stupid you freaking jerk!" Mifisto walked over to Sakura and stroked her cheek. Sakura slapped his hand away as soon as his fingers touched her cheek. She punched him in the nose, but he was barely scratched.
"You cannot harm me." He walked over to Tomoyo and smiled at her. "I'm sorry my dear, I'm afraid I have another ambition now." His eyes glinted in Sakura's direction. "This time, I will have more power..." He walked over to Sakura and knelt down in front of her.
"What the heck are you doing?" He grabbed Sakura's hands and kissed it gently. As soon as his lips grazed her hand, she pulled it back and slapped him on the face.
"GET AWAY FROM MY SAKURA!" Syaoran yelled at him and pointed his sword to the man's throat.
"WHO THE HECK DO YOU THINK YOU ARE?! I DON'T LIKE YOU, I HATE YOU! YOU CAN'T JUST COME UP TO ME AND KISS MY HAND!" Sakura slapped him again and ran behind Syaoran. Syaoran pulled back his sword and thrust it at Mifisto but...
"Where'd he go?" when Syaoran's sword was supposed to make contact with him, all he got was air. Both Sakura and Syaoran were blazing with anger. Their auras were incredibly bright and they seemed to intertwine with each other.
"You cannot harm me." Mifisto reappeared at the throne. He then was taken a back at the behavior of their auras. "Their auras, why are they intertwined? Will they not explode? They seem stronger together, now may not be the time." Sakura and Syaoran's auras became even brighter and Mifisto was beginning to fear their power. "I must leave you for now. Until the next time we meet Lavender and," he winked at Sakura. "My sweet Sakura." He then disappeared.
"How dare he touch me!" Sakura hugged Syaoran tightly, tears streaming out of her eyes. "I can't believe it... he felt so disgusting..."
Syaoran held Sakura close to him and stroked her back. Their auras were calming down as Syaoran held Sakura even closer. "I won't let him touch you next time. I'll kill that disgusting creature... touching my Sakura..." he muttered under his breath.
Tomoyo ran over to Eriol again and she was crying again. "Don't die, please be alright..."
"Huh? Tomoyo-san, why are you crying?" Eriol sat up rubbing his head. "Ow... I'd better make a shield next time instead intercepting it by myself."
"You're awake!" Tomoyo flung herself on top of Eriol, hugging him tightly. Eriol blushed a nice bright red color. "I thought you wouldn't wake up ever!"
"Ano... Sakura-chan, I did tell her that my freakin' ancestor was just asleep right?" Syaoran retracted his sword. "Didn't I say that?"
"Hai... I guess that Tomoyo-chan was really worried about him. That was a pretty big blow that he was blasted with." Sakura and Syaoran walked over to Tomoyo and Eriol. "Hey lover birds, shouldn't we get outta here before we start celebrating?"
The two quickly turned away from each other, blushing madly.
"Sure."
"Okay."
"How do we get out of here anyway?" Syaoran looked around the room. "I don't know where we are exactly."
"Well," Eriol brought out his staff. "We reached this place due to magic, so we should be able to leave here by magic as well."
"We should get going before people begin to worry about us, ne Syaoran-kun?" Sakura smiled at him.
"Yeah..."
"I'll take care of it." Eriol waved his staff around and soon the four of them returned to the classroom.
~Back in the Classroom~
"Remind me to travel by my own magic next time. Yours made my head spin." Syaoran rubbed his head.
"What are you talking about Syaoran-kun? I didn't feel dizzy at all." Sakura turned her staff back into its pendant form.
"I felt perfectly fine too." Tomoyo brushed bits of dust off her skirt.
"What the...? Hey Hiiragizawa, why'd I end up with my head spinning?"
"I did that so you'd shut up until we got back home."
"NANI?!" Syaoran launched himself on Eriol trying to choke him. Eriol was just laughing like mad and trying to push Syaoran off him. "YOU ARE GONNA PAY!!!"
"Hey, relax you two. It's Sakura-chan's birthday and we don't want any interruptions of the party do we?" Chiharu, Naoko, Rika and Yamazaki walked over to them. Chiharu was wagging her finger at the two boys. "We don't want Sakura-chan to worry now do we?"
Syaoran and Eriol instantly stopped fighting. "Huh? You mean you guys didn't notice anything?"
"Huh? It's my birthday? Oh Yeah, I totally forgot!" everyone sweatdropped when she said that.
"Li-kun, the only thing that's been happening is Sakura-chan chasing you and now you trying to choke Hiiragizawa-kun. Of course we've noticed that! Oh yeah, it's your birthday Sakura-chan. I have no idea why you forgot that..." Naoko took a bite of her sushi. "In case you didn't know, it's kinda hard to miss you guys."
"Demo Chiharu-chan, you really didn't notice us disappearing?" Sakura looked at Chiharu confused.
"No."
"How about the earthquake?"
"No."
"The lights going out?"
"No."
"My sushi disappearing?"
"Yes."
"Kyaa, I just forgot! You stole my sushi!" Sakura pointed at Syaoran accusingly. "Give me back my sushi!"
"Ano... I can't exactly give it back. I ate it remember?"
"Oh yeah..."
"Hey everyone, did you know that three centuries ago, eating was-" Yamazaki was cut off by Chiharu choking him. "haha..."
"Not now Yamazaki! It's not time for lies!"
"Haha... why are you choking me? I'm only trying to tell my-"
"YAMAZAKI!" Everyone in the room yelled at him. "DON'T TELL LIES!"
"O-okay..." (AN/ couldn't have told a fic without those lies!)
"We're gonna go and get more snacks." Rika followed Naoko and Chiharu who was dragging Yamazaki along by his collar to the buffet line. "Let's talk later!"
"Uh... okay..." the four of them sweatdropped at the sight of Chiharu and Yamazaki.
"Don't you think it's kind of... odd that they didn't notice that we were gone?" Everyone looked at Syaoran.
"Come to think of it, yeah... How come they didn't notice it? I'd worry if Syaoran-kun, Tomoyo-chan or Eriol-kun would disappear for a while."
"Mifisto must've stopped time while we were gone. That's the only reason I can think of." Eriol frowned thoughtfully. 'And why he seemed to be so familiar with the cards.'
"Finally! My freakin' ancestor is unsure of something!"
"For your information, my little descendant, there are many things which I do not know of."
"Like what?"
"Like why your auras were intertwined and they were cooperating."
"What's wrong with that? Despite the situation, I found that to be a 'Kawaii Moment' between Sakura-chan and Li-kun!"
"My dear Tomoyo-san," Tomoyo blushed at hearing this. "The auras of people with the gift of sorcery are too powerful to interact with another aura similar to theirs or else explosions could happen. Even I cannot use my full aura while Sakura-san or Li-kun has their aura at full."
"Is it because we are too weak?" Sakura began to worry again. "How did you know about the auras anyway? You were unconscious at that time."
"Sakura-san, just because I was unconscious, it doesn't mean that I could not feel your auras. It was more powerful than the power that Clow's aura ever had. I also felt Tomoyo-san's magic while I was unconscious. It was quite weak, but I'm sure now that she is also a sorceress like you Sakura-san."
"Yay!" Sakura jumped on top of Tomoyo and gave her a big hug. "You have magic now!"
Tomoyo realized something that made her eyes starry. "Does that mean... I can make Sakura-chan more kawaii outfits faster now because I have magic?" Everyone sweatdropped.
"Hai my sweet Tomoyo-san." Tomoyo blushed again.
"Tomoyo-chan, why is your face red? Are you alright?"
"I-I'm fine Sakura-chan." She caught Eriol staring at her. Tomoyo blushed even redder. "I'm perfectly fine."
"Okay Tomoyo-chan! If you say so!"
"Wanna go get something to eat?"
"Hai Syaoran-kun, I wanna get food to eat because somebody stole my sushi!"
"He he he... It ain't my fault that your guard was down!"
"MOU Syaoran-kun!"
~Somewhere far away~
"So she is now the most powerful sorceress eh? Looks like she will be my queen this time..." The dark figure in a black cloak took an orange sphere and muttered a spell under his breath. He could now see the image of a smiling auburn-haired girl in the sphere. "This will be fun..."
