Syaoran woke up to the sound of a scream coming from Akima's bedroom. Sakura burst into his
room.
" Syaoran! Did you here Akima scream?"
"Yeah, lets go." They dashed down the hall towards Akima's room.
"Help! Syaoran, Sakura anyone! Help!" Syaoran grabbed the handle door but quickly withdrew
it.
"Ahhhh! It's burning!"
"Syaoran, use the freeze card and freeze it."
" Good idea." Within seconds, the golden handle was frozen off the door.
" Akima!!" Akima was sitting up right on her bed. She had a look of pure terror on her face.
" Akima!" Sakura ran and put a comforting arm around her shoulder. " Akima, are you
aright?"
She didn't answer. She was just starring.
"Akima." Sakura shook her. "Wake up!"
"W-wh-what? What happened? Oh! Where did he go?!? Oh! He came back! God! Why is this
happening to me?"
Akima's eyes were gathering tears. Syaoran came and sat down next to her.
"Akima, who came back?" She started crying openly. Sakura was trying her beat to comfort
her.
" M-M-Mamuro t-tried t-to ki-i-ll me-e." Akima sobbed.
"What?!? He knows where you live?!?" Sakura and Syaoran shouted in unison.
" Why did you come here if you knew there was a chance of him coming to kill you?"
" I missed my house. The familiar scent, the look of my room. Don't you guys miss your
homes?"
"Well yeah… but we wouldn't risk our lives just to see it again."
"Akima," she looked up at Syaoran. " We have to leave here if Mamuro knows you live here.
I'm pretty sure he wont comeback again tonight so well leave in the morning. I think we
should all go back to bed. Come-on Sakura"
" Try not to think about it tonight OK Akima. Good night."
" Thanks Sakura."
" No problem." They left the room and waited for Akima to fall asleep.
" Sakura, can you release the Shied Card to protect her?"
" Sure." With the Shield Card protecting Akima, Sakura and Syaoran walked down the hall in
silence.
"Sakura, I heard something when Akima screamed."
" Something like what?"
" Mamuro was asking her for something. He told her to give it to her and she said she
didn't know where or what it was. And I think I have an idea."
" What?"
"This must be the thing Akima's parents were hiding from her."
" Oh! Do you really think so?"
" Well it's just a guess, but it's worth a shot to check out their room."
" Wont Akima get mad?"
" Not if she doesn't find out!" Syaoran flashed her a smile that made her marrow freeze,
grabbed her by the hand, and dashed down the hall to Akima's parents room. As soon as they
reached the door, Sakura and Syaoran looked at each other. " Do you feel that?"
" Yeah but it can't be… can it?"
" This is too weird Syaoran. I felt it too in that cave. A Clow Card can't be here. We
captured all of them."
"Yeah I know. Can you tell which Card it is?"
" Yeah, It's the Create Card. You know what Syaoran? I've been sensing this Card a lot."
" Really? That's really weird. Should we go in?"
" I guess… but, do you want to get Souyoku just to be safe?" Syaoran felt a little crushed
because he wanted to protect Sakura instead of someone else. He wanted to care for her and
love her.
" Aright. I'll get him." Syaoran ran out of Sakura's sight towards Souyoku's room.
' What's wrong with him?' Sakura thought as she saw Syaoran run away. Syaoran got to Souyoku's room regrettably and saw him and Makona sleeping warmly together
on the plush bed.
" Souyoku." Syaoran was whispering so he wouldn't have to wake up Makona.
" Souyoku, wake up."
' No more chocolate!!!!!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHH' Souyoku woke up with a start.
' Oh, Syaoran, it's you! I had a nightmare.'
"Th-"
' USE THE MIND! She's sleeping'
' Oh, well that was a really weird nightmare.'
' Um… yeah well never mind, what is it?'
' Sakura and I want to do some investigating. She wants you to come to protect her.'
' And you don't want me to come because you want to protect her yourself right?' Syaoran sweat dropped and fell to the ground anime style.
' Your mind reading?'
' Yup! Ahh… I love it, it's a blessing'
' I'm sure it is now let's go.'
Once in front of the door again the trio opened the door to the bedroom. It was nothing
like the rest of the house, which was all blue. Half of the room was pink and the other
half was green. They were exactly the same. On the right wall there was a green dresser
and in the exact place on the left wall, there was a pink dresser. There was a window on
one wall in the exact place on the opposite wall. There was a king-sized bed in the exact
center of the room. The bed on the pink half of the room was pink and the other half on
the green side was green. The trio stood gawking.
" This is so weird."
" Yeah…"
' What did we come here to look for?' Sakura and Syaoran shook their heads.
" Right, what did we come here to find, Syaoran?"
" I'm not really sure yet but keep your eyes peeled for anything different."
" This whole place is different…"
" You know what I mean…"
They looked around the place, in drawers, cupboards, and under the bed but they didn't find
anything out of the ordinary even for Dunyalmaleh.
" Sakura…"
" Hm?"
" You said you could sense the Create Card outside of this room before we came in right?"
" Well, yeah…"
" So maybe someone used the Create Card to create this room."
" That makes sense but Syaoran, I'm the only one who has the Create Card."
" Yeah… that's true, but Sakura…"
" Yeah Syaoran?"
" We came to the future, right?"
" Well, yeah. So?"
" Aren't we going to still be here in the future?"
" Oh, do you mean-"
" It's only an idea Sakura, but I think you might be Akima's mother…"
