Card Summoners
The Summoner Legend

-------------------

Syaoran laid in his room, just looking at his ceiling, it was decorated with glow in the dark green stars by his truly a few weeks back. He sighed though.

'...if only if I had the scroll of one, or a copy of it...im also not sure of Sakura's dormant power, or rather, if she does have it. I guess the only way I can prove she could be my soul mate is if...but I wouldn't dare! The first time I tried I had no control what-so-ever, and asking her to do that is out of the question. If only there was some other way...'

*knock*
*knock*

"Who is it?"
"It's me."
"Sakura? Come in!"

Sakura came in his room, wearing a blouse and denim jeans. Her clothes were glowing though, because of the black lighting Sakura installed along with the glow-in-the-dark stars.

"Hey. Why are you here?"
"I'm just concerned, ever since you had your chat with Meilin, you've been in alot of thought almost all the time now."
"Yeah...it's just..." Syaoran left open.
"Is Meilin forcing you to go back to Hong Kong?"
"Not excatly, more like the whole clan."
"I see, maybe because your going to lead them one day huh?"
"It's not for that reason."
"Then for what other reason?"
"It's because...you know...I'm...never mind."
"Never mind? Whatever this reason is really bothering you. It's best to tell someone, and im the closest person you got here."
"But yet, this secret should be kept distant."
"Why?"
"Two things, the Li clan, and you."
"Me?"
"If I told you, who knows what could happen."
"But Syaoran--!"
"I know, but it's something even I wouldn't want to use. If you knew about it, you could put yourself in alot of danger."
"..."
"Anyway, I much I would hate to say this, but I got to ask you to leave. I still have to figure out a plan to get me out of this situation."
"What if you dont? It's not like they are going to grab you in the middle of the night and drag you back, your too strong for them."
"Doesnt matter, they could teleport me anyway. I havent learned how to teleport, and they havent taught me it yet. But anyway..."
"I know...I just...wish I can help, in any way."
"It's okay Sakura, I'll find someway to get out of this."

Sakura leaves the room. Syaoran grabs the nearest pillow, and throws it against on of the walls.

"Sakura. How did it go?"
"He isnt opening up, not fully anyway, Meilin. He's just too stubborn."
"Did he tell you?"
"Tell me what?"
"All the reasons he is going back to Hong Kong?"
"I'm sure im one of them, but he says there's another reason, I think..."
"Did he tell you what that reason is?"
"No, he was afraid of telling me because he says I can get hurt. Do you know?"
"Yes. But im not all that eager to tell it to you. But...you have the right to know."
"What is it then?"
"Theres two sides to this, and both involve you. First off, are you really sure you are soul mates with him?"
"What kinda of question is that!? You know what answer for sure."
"Okay, the Li clan elders have challenged Syaoran to prove you are his Soul Mate."
"But isnt what--?!?"
"I know, but they still dont believe it. Without the scroll of one though, he has no guidence on going about of proving this. Except...this other thing that is good and bad."
"Okay? This is?"
"The power called the--"
"Meilin!!!"
"Syaoran!"

Syaoran came out of his room, just stopping Meilin from saying anymore.

"I know, you told me not to tell her, but who will? It's her right!"
"But not now. It's too risky now, I've should've done it earlier, but it's out of the question now!"
"Earlier? Does this have to do with our card battle?"
"No Sakura, what Syaoran is talking about is--"
"Meilin! You swore!"
"..."
"Syaoran, if she says it is my right, then I must know. I'm not going to leave until you tell me."

Syaoran looked over to Meilin.

"Syaoran, she is going to know in some matter."
"...fine. You mind getting us some hot coco, it's going to be a long story."
"Okay."

Syaoran and Sakura went over into the dining room, and took seats next to each other, while Meilin was preparing the hot coco.

"Okay, it all starts beyond Clow Reed. Not only is our family line a group of Magicans, but also what are known as Summoners."
"Summoners? Like Card Summoners?"
"No, Summoners are different from Card Summoners as in the fact Summoners use more energy to summon creatures, and they dont use cards."
"So your a summoner? What does this have to do with me?"
"Hold on. I'm going to get to that part. Anyway, Clow Reed made the Clow Cards for one purpose, to find the 'chosen' Soul Mates of Summoners."
"The 'chosen' soul mates? So are we that?"
"I'm not sure of that yet. The book has been wrong almost every single time, but if it on the bullseye on this one, then it could only lead to one thing."
"And what's that?"
"That your a Summoner, just like I'am."
"How? You say you come from a line of Summoners, but I dont."
"That's the thing, the 'chosen' Soul Mates both have the ability to summon, but , one day I tried summoning, and it backfired, and almost killed me. That is why I havent used any summoner or card summoning attacks. If you tried this on your own, it could be fatal."
"So that's why you kept it away from me. But what made you think I was going to do it by myself?"
"Hmm?"
"I may be dense, but not that dense. Let's just say im as dense as you."
"...anyway, that's just a rough story of it. There's more."
"Here's the hot coco."
"Thanks"

An hour later...

"So who would've thought. You think it's possible that our Summoner powers should be used only in the presnce of the other?"
"Good point...but that still leaves the main problem. How to prove we are soul mates."
"That's easy, isnt it?"
"Not really. The only way of knowing we our soul mates or not is going though a list from what is called the 'Scroll of One'. Of course, this is in Hong Kong, way out of reach of us."
"So what can we do? Do you remember reading it?"
"I've only seen it once, as I only got to skim though it before I got caught, as I was not supposed to read it."
"There has to be another way..."
"..."
"Syaoran, you know there is another way."
"There is? Syaoran?"
"..."
"I see, your scared huh?"
"Scared? More like afraid."
"Same thing. Anyway, what he--"
"Meilin, please, for all of us, I dont want to do it that way, not if we can find another way. It's just too dangerous."
"Just summon a Chu-Chu, they only heal anyway."
"...I still..."
"Syaoran, tell me how to summon this 'Chu-Chu' Meilin is talking about."
"..."
"Syaoran!" Meilin pouted, but to no avail.
"Syaoran, please."
"If I did tell you, it will also open the way to summon creatures that even I cant control."
"Syaoran, maybe if you started thinking they wont go out of control, then they wont."
"I wish I can think that way Sakura, but..."
"Syaoran, you summoned Bahamut, that's a feat in itself. It was incredible you even managed to stop it."
"Barely, I was lucky my mother was there after sealing it, or I'd would've died."
"Bahamut? Wait a minute, we are not talking Squaresoft games here."
"Well, the guys who make those games must have got inspiration from the Summoner legends. Anyway, basically, all of the summon creatures are listed in all the Squaresoft games, from Chocobos to well, Bahamut. Though they use fake summoning sequences."
"I see. Well, that still leaves us to where we were, are you going to teach me how to summon a Chu-Chu?"
"..."
"Syaoran, I want to keep you here, I want to do this..."
"...I just..."
"Please..." Sakura said.

Syaoran stayed quiet, Sakura stood up and walked over to the front door and opened it.

"If you wont tell me, I'll find out myself."
"Sakura! No!" Sakura ran out the door, closing the door hard, as Syaoran took a mad dash, and opened the door, to see her gone, a spoon dropping to the floor.
"Sakura..."
"Where did Sakura go?" Meilin said catching up to Syaoran.
"Alakazam."

-----------------------

Did'ja get the end? Dumb? Too much dialogue? Too boring? Well, anyway, I promise things are going to get alot more interesting in the next part. Okay, maybe not alot, bun just enough, I hope. This just sucked because im in the middle of Xenogears and Final Fantasy Tactics, so basically, im throwing alot in. Basically, the ingredients are Pokemon, Magic, and Digimon card games, with Final Fantasy (all of them) and a pinch of Xenogears, all thrown into a cauldron of Cardcaptors/ Cardcaptor Sakura. Quite a brew, eh? But I dont call myself AnimeGamer for nothing, I play games and watch anime, and that is what I do. Besides, I'm thinking of doing more stories outside Cardcaptors, mainly because I dont want to get sick of it right now. (It'd suck, for everyone.) So already, im thinking Xenogears - Gundam crossover.But anyway, it's been quite a while since I've posted something, eh? Anyway, I dunno when I'm going to post the next part. (I'm really wrapped up in Xenogears storyline, very intriging, gives me an idea for future S+S stories. <(o^.~o)>) So anyway, R+R, send any flame, comments, or compliment. Oh yeah, dont forget to check out the new CCS BBS (BBS = Bulletin Board) here at ff.net!
