Wow! My first CCS fic! Yipppeee!! ^^ This is something I came up with after reading the third Card Captor Sakura manga. I typed it kind of quick late at night so I hope its not hard to read or is really crappy. I feel kind of strange posting it since I don't think anybody's ever written about a clow card before; but something about that scene really gripped me. I hope you at least find unique and interesting. If you haven't seen the episode (part) where Sakura captures the mirror card, then you might not want to read this. For one thing, you wouldn't understand one bit of it.

Reflections of the Mirror



It started out as a game...a test...a test for the cardcaptor.

I was in her exact form, causing trouble in the town; making others feel that it was all her doing.

I even lured you through the park to look for something I had lost. I made you go deeper and deeper into the forest until you slipped and fell down that small cliff.

For some reason--I don't know why--I went down to where you were sitting down, scratched and bruised. Even though you were hurt and you couldn't even stand up, you were determined to find what it was I had lost. The sad truth was I hadn't even lost anything. It was all just part of my plan, my plan to hurt the cardcaptor.

You spoke to me, you knew that I wasn't your sister but you would still help me. I was shocked. No one ever talks to me like that--not like a person. As I looked into those eyes, I felt terrible for what I had done.

I don't know what it was that made me stay there. Maybe it was my curiosity on you knowing that I was an imposter, something posing as your sister; maybe it was my guilt. Or maybe it was your kindness...

Whatever it was, instead of leaving you there alone, I stood by your side. The whole time I watched over you and waited...

...waited for 'her' to come.

Time passed, but she came like I knew she would. The cardcaptor was with others, and she was told that she would have to guess my name to return me to my true form.

She was having trouble guessing, I could see that; so I helped her out. I started imitating her movements exactly, like a mirror. When she noticed this, she shouted my name and I returned to my true form.

Before she could change me to my card form, I drifted over to you, unconscious, bruised and beaten--all my doing. Leaning in close, I briefly but surely placed a light feathery kiss on your cheek. As I whispered my apology, I could feel tears burning in my eyes. I wasn't sure of what they were at first; I was accustomed to them. They were like small rain droplets, but warm...symbols of my shame.

As she shouted her command, I took one last at you before I went. You were going to be okay...I was sure of it now. I could see the love in your sister's eyes when she faced me. Once again, I beg for your forgiveness. I'm sorry for the pain I caused you.

I learned my lesson. And although it was probably nothing for you, to me that brief moment with you was something special. I will never forget you...

...Touya.
