Chapter One~Dreams of Future
Sakura Kinomoto was dreaming, she knew it instinctively from her past experience, perhaps too much past experience she thought wearily.
As usual her dream started out with the Tokyo Tower, it was night and the pale silvery full moon hung in the dark velvet called night. A young girl stood atop the Tokyo Tower, though her face was covered by a shadow, as usual, her lower part of her face was still revealed and Sakura knew it was a girl.
A pair of long chestnut brown braids billowed in the ever-present wind in her dream as a small smile appeared on the mysterious girl's face. Violet light surrounded the girl, it was wrapped firmly around the girl's shadowy outline, but inside the violet light a prominent red light glowed, inside the girl. Sakura frowned, confused, how was it possible that this girl had two auras of magic?
"They are coming...the Dark Masters...prepare yourself, Mistress of the former Clow Cards, the Sakura Cards. Danger is approaching quickly, you do not have time..." A soft voice whispered, it came from the girl's mouth and Sakura gripped the Star Wand in her right hand tightly.
"Who are you? What are you talking about? Tell me!" Sakura asked, stretching her free hand towards the figure and a brief smile touched the girl's face. A pair of white wings sprang from the shadowy back of the girl's figure, but she did not fly and instead a large creature stood up beside the girl and she climbed onto it's back.
Sakura felt wind hit her face and felt a light touch against her outstretched palm, she saw, just a brief second, of the girl's face before darkness descended on it again.
"Don't worry, Mistress of the Sakura Cards, Sakura-san, you will have help. Believe in me, please, you will not fight this alone, there will be many others who are coming to help you and soon..." The voice faded away and the scenery slowly melted into a. orange teddy-bear face?
"Sakura!" Sakura's half-closed emerald green eyes sprang open and focused on the tiny stuffed animal's around face. The "stuffed animal" was called Cerberus or more commonly known as Kero-chan, stared at her worriedly with his tiny dot black eyes.
"Sakura, you were dreaming." It was not a question. Sakura Kinomoto, Mistress of the Sakura Cards, sighed resignedly and nodded as a frown slowly began to grow on Kero's round orange-yellow face.
"Yes I did have a dream, a very strange one and I have absolutely no doubt that it was not a regular dream. There was a girl standing on top of Tokyo Tower, she was wrapped in violet light, which I think is her magical aura. But what was strange about it was inside this aura was another one, I know it was another one because it was a different color, rose-red. The auras didn't clash though as if they were against each other though or like another rejected one, but instead they melded like they were one." Sakura said absently as she gazed out the window towards the rising sun.
Morning was soon to come and yet she didn't feel tired at all, that girl in the dream she felt like she knew her or at least felt like that way anyway. It felt really comforting inside the dream, it wasn't anything scary and after what the girl had said she should have been alarmed, but she didn't feel that way not one bit.
"Then she told me about something called the Dark Masters and that they were coming and that I wouldn't have to fight them alone." The frown on Kero's face deepened and his long tail began to swing back and forth nervously, but Sakura did not notice as she continued search her mind for anymore details over her dream.
"Well from what I can gather there is only one thing that I can actually say that I understand about your dream and can explain to you. The fact that the girl has two auras isn't really that unusual, there are many people who actually have two auras, but there are many reasons for this." Sakura snapped from her reverie when she heard Kero's voice and instantly gave her full attention to the tiny Sun Guardian as he put a small paw to his chin.
"There's one reason or more like speculation that certain people can have more than one magic or power. From what I can remember, I've never heard of a violet colored aura before, that presents a question itself, the girl could have more than one power to have such a color or it is simply because she has another aura. The girl could also be like our Moon Guardian, Yue's false form Yukito, she could be a false form or she either has a spirit or some sort of magical creature within her." Kero paused for a moment before continuing as he dug through memories long ago.
"Some families back in Clow Reed's time allowed demons or spirits to possess their bodies, it's like sharing a body, but there are two minds within it. A spirit or demon usually hides within the real form's mind and under some kind of circumstance can transform using the body into their real forms. While these families had some willing to undertake this transformation, there were many that were possessed willingly or not. The worst things about these possessions were that they were passed on through each generation. Sometimes the spirit would decide to awake in this generation or remain dormant until the next generation or only until a certain time for example like until the one it wants to possess has grown up enough to think for themselves."
"The possessed can't really do much about when the spirit transforms though, they either had to find some way found through generations like a spell or maybe striking a deal with the spirit. A magical seal or object sometimes could hold the transformation, or if the possessed had power over the spirit they could force the spirit back into it's mind. I heard from Clow that a family or two tried to keep their emotions from ever emerging because that's what causes the demon possessing them to emerge, they killed themselves when the demon emerges and warns the next generation or makes their children go under certain training. Some families accepted the demon or spirit willingly and became friends or partners with them, most families turn out that way whether it is for good or for evil." Kero concluded as Sakura looked thoughtful.
"Is that why I can sometimes see a flicker of colors when I look at Yukito-san?"
"Yes, but if you want to know more about this you should ask that brat, Clow didn't study this subject very long, he only studied at all only because he was looking for a spell to create a false form for Yukito. He lost interest in it and I took an interest in it for awhile as well, but the information was confusing and in ancient text so I had to find time to translate it. That kid probably still has the books Clow left over after it all."
Sakura nodded in understanding, but her emerald green eyes were beginning to droop and suddenly she was so tired. "Um…I suddenly so tired, Kero-chan I'm going back to sleep now. Good night." She mumbled wearily and fell back onto her pillow, Kero pulled the covers over her and sat down beside her to think. "Dark Masters…why does that sound so familiar? I don't like this at all, I have a bad feeling about this."
As the day began to dawn, Sakura slept on peacefully without dreams and Kero thought many unsettling thoughts.
That's it so what do you think? Review, review please!
