The Nightmare Stone Chapter 2
Hello again. I know the first chapter was a little confusing but bit by bit I will clear it up. This chapter is gunna have more S+S moments in it. Just to tell you I have not seen the Japanese version, nor do I speak Japanese so don't get mad if I spell something wrong or I don't/won't use the chan and that stuff because I don't understand it. Now on with the fic!

Sakura woke up to a hot Saturday morning. She quickly got dressed and went down stairs for breakfast. [What was that thing last night, I hope we can clear this up soon.]
"Morning squirt." Touya said.
"Morning." Sakura replied.
"You sure are spacey today Sakura." Touya said.
"Why do you say that?"
"Cause you didn't even hear me call you squirt."
"GRRRRRRR! ONE OF THESE DAYS TOUYA!"
"Ya, ya. Where have I heard that before." Touya haft asked haft stated.
With that Sakura sat down and ate her breakfast. After that she started to pack the picnic lunch. "Bye." Touya called. "Bye Touya." Sakura said back knowing that him and Yukito were going to work on a report in the library today. [I guess I can take my time since I won't head down there until 11:00. I know I will talk to Kero some more and see if he remembers anything.]
"Kero, have you figured anything out yet?" "Huh? What? Oh no Sakura sorry I haven't gotten any time to think what with sleeping and all." "Oh well Kero, remember we are having a picnic today in the park with Tomoyo and Syaoran." "Yahoo!"
****Time of picnic****
"Come on Sakura we have to get to the park so we can eat." A hungry Kero said. "Remember Kero that's not why we are going." "Ya I know Sakura and don't worry we'll figure this out just you wait and see." "Ok Kero, now let's go."
As they walked down the street they noticed that the fog was getting thicker and thicker. "Maybe we should skip the picnic Kero, it's too foggy." "No way Sakura now come on we are almost there." [I don't like this one bit. This fog is so creepy.] Sakura thought.
When they reached the park they saw Syaoran and Tomoyo sitting on then a blanket that Tomoyo had brought. Tomoyo saw Sakura and Kero and waved. Soon after Syaoran saw them too and he also waved. "Hey you guys." Sakura said cheerfully. "Hey." Both Syaoran and Tomoyo said. Then Sakura at down beside Syaoran. "Did you find anything else out?" Tomoyo questioned both Sakura and Syaoran. They both shook their heads no. "The Nightmare Stone. Death creatures. There are so many questions but so little answers." Sakura said. "Well it looks like a girl came upon the Nightmare Stone and then summoned these creatures to…well…take over the world I guess." Syaoran said in a vain attempt to make things clearer. "The question is how do we stop this thing if we don't know what we're looking for." Kero stated. "Maybe we could ask one of those creatures." Sakura suggested. "You mean like violently force them to tell us?" Syaoran asked. "Well…ya s-sort of." Sakura stammered "Ok." Syaoran bluntly said. This got a slight giggle out of Tomoyo and Sakura. "Hey, how about we discuss this after we eat the picnic?" Kero said. "Ok Kero." Sakura said as they all began to eat the food that Sakura brought.
After they finish eating and chatting about nothing in particular, they get back on the topic of the nightmare stone. "Do you think another one of those monsters will attack us today Syaoran?" Sakura asks while grabbing Syaoran's hand tightly. "I'm not sure Sakura." Syaoran says and gives Sakura a little hug. "Well I hope not." Sakura replies while Syaoran raps his arms around Sakura. "Uh, Sakura do you think you will be needing more battle costumes?" Tomoyo questions. Sakura only moans and curls up to Syaoran more. "The fog is getting really thick." Kero states as he looks around. They all stand up (Sakura still in Syaoran's arms) and look around. None of them could see anything in the distance. "Weird." Tomoyo said while video taping her favourite couple. "Tomoyo why are you video taping us?" Sakura asks. "Because you two are so Kawii!" Tomoyo says with a wide grin on her face. Right after Tomoyo finishes talking a huge hole open opens up and swallows Sakura and Syaoran.
***********
They both land safely on the ground but when Sakura looks around and sees that they are in some sort of dungeon then Sakura starts to get scared. "Help us. Please save us please." A moaning voice said. Sakura was terrified and buried herself in Syaoran's chest not looking around the place that they're in. [Its a ghost] Sakura thought. After the moaning stopped Syaoran rubbed Sakura's back and she calmed down. "I don't like ghosts." She said while looking up at Syaoran. "I know. Its ok Sakura whatever it was is gone now." Syaoran said in a reassuring voice. Sakura turned around but stayed in Syaoran's arms. She was still a little scared but that didn't matter because she was strong and the only real thing that scared her was a ghost.
"Where are we?" Sakura asked
"Why you are in my mistress's dungeon." Said a voice that Sakura and Syaoran remembered belonged to Helltro.
Why did you take us down here?" Syaoran said while glaring at the now visible Helltro.
"You wanted some answers well you can look in the library for them. When you're done getting answers then I you will return to the park." Helltro told the two.
"Why are you doing all this? I mean going out of your way to make us understand you?" Sakura asked in a shaky voice.
"I am doing this because my mistress told me too. I don't like it but she wants you to feel safe, for now." Helltro exclaimed in an angry voice.
"I don't trust you!" Syaoran yelled at the creature.
"I wouldn't expect you too. Now go to the library down the hall and LOOK! Then GET OUT!" A now very angry Helltro screamed at them.
Both Sakura and Syaoran were struck back with fear. When Helltro got angry and yelled his voice was enough to kill. Once Helltro had finished and both Sakura and Syaoran had recovered from Helltro's petrifying screams, the dashed down the hall toward the library.
"Ok let's just find out some stuff and then get the hell out of here!" Sakura said in a frantic voice while holding on to Syaoran's arm.
"I agree!" Syaoran said then began to grab books of the shelf. Once he and Sakura took all the books they could hold then said they wanted to leave. In a flash they were back at the park just like Helltro said they would be. "Do you think they will get mad at us for taking these books?" Sakura questioned in a worried tone. "Of course they will, but I wasn't going to stay there for hours and read them!" "Ok, ok now lets find Tomoyo and Kero, then go to your house and read a little!" "Sakura where are they?" "They where here just before we left. "Do you think they went out to look for us?" "Let's go and try to find them Syaoran." "Ok. Come on."
************ At Syaoran's house. ************
"I called Tomoyo's house and she and Kero are there. They said that they would come over in an hour or so, after supper. Ok Syaoran."
"Ok Sakura now lets read these books and try to get some info."
Sakura walked over and sat by Syaoran. She picked up a book that was written in Japanese and began reading it. After hours of reading
they finally heard the doorbell. "I think Tomoyo and Kero are here." Syaoran said as he went to answer the door.
Soon all four of them were deep in the books and every time somebody would learn something different about the nightmare stone and death creatures they would write it down on a piece of paper.
******* 1:00 am. *******
"I'm so tired." Sakura complained as she leaned on Syaoran.
"You, Tomoyo, and Kero should get going. I'll read some more and we can look over the stuff tomorrow." Syaoran said to Sakura.
"NO! I'm staying here to help you!
"You shouldn't stay up all night doing this. We will leave if you go to bed." Tomoyo told Syaoran.
"Ok." Syaoran sighed in defeat and Sakura just smiled and got up to leave. Kero just sat there not making a sound but finding the all this very interesting.
After Sakura, Tomoyo, and Kero left Syaoran went to bed.
"I have to calm down I have to. I must think this over more. If we don't learn as much as we can about those creatures then we're as good as dead, but if we don't conserve our energy as well then we except the same fate. As much as I want to just destroy these things and get on with a normal life I have to learn more first. For now I only know one thing. I will kill them all!
Hello again, Dream Angel here and I know this chapter sucked big time but it will be better. I promise. This chapter and the next will be clearing up all this stuff and making you understand but the next chapter will have more fighting and romance between Syaoran and Sakura in it. OK.
Buh byes for now,
Dream Angel. ^_~
