To Catch Up with You
By: Sakura1301
Ch. 7 The Magical Creature
The little creature bared its teeth at the flame as it came closer and closer. Li didn't answer Sakura's question. The flame suddenly grew twice its size as it came closer and closer. Suddenly the flame shot a large fireball at the 2 cardcaptors. Sakura put her arms up to shield herself but nothing happened. Li did the same. Sakura slowly pulled her arms down and cracked one eyelid open. There. In front. It was a barrier of some sort. The barrier was protecting them! It was glowing a light blue and it seemed to be emitting from the little animal. The magical creature stood its ground and bared its teeth at the flame. It growled as the flame pushed on the barrier. Sakura stood there in awe at the little creature. It showed no fear and only strength. "Sakura! The sealing wand!" Li yelled. She was snapped out of her little daydream and pulled out her key. She did the chant and the wand appeared. (Sorry, no clue what chant is.) The creature turned its head to see the wand appear. *Yes! I finally found the Card Mistress.* But as soon as the thought came, the barrier broke. A large fireball hit the little creature sending it crashing to the ground. It slide about 5 yards on the cement. Sakura watched as it all happened and anger and sadness appeared in her eyes. Sakura turned to her apponent. A card appeared in her hand. "Watery! Release!" Watery shot out of its card and attacked. It hit the large flame. But Watery only fazed it. It tried over and over again, but nothing happened. Sakura pulled out another card. It was Windy. "Windy, Release!" Windy attacked with Watery. It seemed to be working but not enough. Li wanted to help but he forgot his sword and left it at Sakura's house.
Meanwhile, the small creature behind slowly stood. It shook its head. When it finally got its bearings strait, it saw the battle going on. He looked to his right and saw Sakura battling. Then it looked to its left and saw Li dodging attacks that were sent from the large flame. It noticed two different aura's emitting from the cardcaptors. It smiled. It took a fighting stance and then started to glow. The sky turned black, storm clouds covered the sky, lightning crashed, and the winds were picking up. Then its eyes started glowing white. The black totally vanishing from its eyes. Then the glow imitted from its body started to get brighter and brighter. The large flame in front of Sakura and Li stopped the attack. Sakura and Li turned. Then they saw it. The small horn on its head grew til it reached two feet long, its tail grew about two yards long, razor sharp claws appeared on its feet, K-9s appeared from its mouth, then the body grew about the size of Kero's true form. Sakura and Li watched in awe. Then, the fur on its back started to shake. Wings of about a 15 wing span grew. The creature looked marvilous. Suddenly, behind the flame, Ice shards were shot. They hit the flame causing it to scream in agony. Everyone turned their attention to the large flame. The flame grew smaller and smaller. It then fell to the ground. Everyone looked to see who had attacked the enemy. It was Yue. He had finally returned. "Here." He said as he tossed Li's sword to him. Li caught it with ease. "It's not over yet." Yue said. Everyone turned their attention to the flame. The flame was now gone to only reveal a girl.
She was on her knees with her hands on the ground holding her up. She glowed a red aura. Her head shot up. Then it turned to Yue. Then Li and Sakura and finally the magical creature. She stood up and an evil grin appeared. "It's not over yet." Then she faded into nothingness.
Eriol and Tomoyo appeared. Both were panting for air. As soon as Eriol had his breath back he said, "What happened? Is everyone alright?" Sakura nodded. "Yes. Everythings okay. Now. Thanks to Yue." Eriol then looked at Yue. "So, you've finally returned." Then he turned towards the Creature. "Ah yes. I assume this is the magical creature we encountered earlier. Nice to see you again." Everyone looked at him quizically. The creature raised its wings high into the air and raised its head. Then there was a flash of bright light. The large creature returned to its original form. It then ran up to Sakura and jumped into her arms and nuzzled her neck. Then it spoke in a small but cute voice. "Card Mistress. I have finally found you!" Then it started to cry with large waterfalls going down its face. (You know, that funny looking cry when their happy or got bonked on the head.) "I've been looking for you 5 years! And I finally found you! I've been searching in japan for 5 lousy years and I finally found you! I'm so happy! My search is finally over! Waaaa!" Sakura was a little startled at first but then started to stroke its fur on its back. "It's okay." She said as she kept on stroking it. It's tears started to spill even more than before. "Thank yoooouuuuu! Waaaa!" Then it stopped crying all of a sudden. "Oh! Sorry! I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Ooda. I was created to protect you from the evil that has awoken. Master Clow saw this evil approaching in the future. So, I was created." "Kinda like Kero, right?" Sakura asked. "Kero? Oh, you mean Keroberos. Sorta. But I was created for one purpose and one purpose only. To protect you." Sakura went all dot eyed. "Protect me?" "Yes, protect you. The evil that has awoken is after the Clow cards and your power." Sakura sweardropped. "Um, the Clow cards don't exist any more. Hehe." "What!?" "You see, I converted them to Sakura cards." She was now rubbing the back of her head with a sweardrop going down her head. "Oh, I see. So if you converted them to Sakura cards, then your name must be Sakura! Am I right?" She knodded.
Everyone crowded around Ooda. Tomoyo was filming the whole thing, Eriol was just listening, Yue flew back to Sakura's house, and Li was just staring at Ooda. Then its stomache growled. It gave her a goofy smile with its eyes closed and it was rubbing its stomach. "Um, I'm sorta hungry. Can we get a bite to eat? Im starving." Everyone did an anime fall except Sakura. "Just like Kero." Sakura mumbled. She sweardropped. If she fell over, she would probably drop Ooda. "Sure, but where can we get somthing to ear if everyone around up is passed out?" She asked. Ooda smiled and emitted a white light. Then everyone started to groan and wake up. "Okay, lets go." Ooda layed back down in her arms while she went up to the food stand. "May I take your order?" The man asked. "Yeah, just give me a minute." "Okay miss." He then turned around and started to set fresh hotdogs on the cooker. She whispered, "What would you like?" Ooda looked at the menu. "Um, Cotton Candy!" Sakura sweatdropped. "You're hungry and you want Cotton Candy?! Kay, whatever." The man then turned around. "Are you ready to order?" She smiled at him. "Yes, I'll take a bag of cotton candy." "Okay, thats $1.00." He then handed Sakura the bag of Cotton Candy and turned to the next customer.
They sat at a table and waited for Ooda to finish his candy. Eriol spoke up, "So Ooda. How are you?" Ooda looked up then his eyes widened. "M-Master Clow? Is that you!?" Eriol smiled. "No. Im his reincarnation. My name is Eriol." Ooda smiled. "Clow. Yes, im fine. How are you these days?" "I'm fine. You may call me Eriol though." "Okay, Clow, I mean Eriol. Hehe." Realization hit Sakura. She forgot to introduce everyone. "Oh, Ooda, I forgot to introduce everyone. This is Syaoran and Tomoyo." Ooda looked at Li. "I sense a magical aura from him. But not from the girl." Ooda said as he looked at Tomoyo. Tomoyo smiled. "I film all of Sakura-chan's captures! And I also make her outfits!" Tomoyo had stars in her eyes. Ooda sweatdropped. Eriol spoke, "Syaoran is my decendant. That is why you can feel a magical aura from him." Eriol smiled, Li glared, Tomoyo was daydreaming, Sakura was sweardropping, and Ooda was just staring. "Only Sakura is allowed to call me Syaoran. You can call me Li." Li said to Eriol. Eriol just smiled even more. Ooda sweatdropped. Sakura put a finger to her chin. "I wonder what your mother and sisters are doing now."
~In Hong Kong~
"Oh little brother! Please come out of hiding now! We promise you we wont pick on you!" She crossed her fingers. Her mother rushed pass her. "Oh where could he have gone to!? I've looked everywhere! Im calling the police!" "Mother! Please don't! I know he's hiding around here somewhere!" All of her daughters were trying to restrain her but was having no luck at all. One of them whispered, "Do you think he went to go see his little Cherry Blossom?" The other said, "He's gonna be in deep trouble when mother finds him." The others knodded in agreement.
~Back in Japan~
"There probably going crazy. I can picture it now. Your mother storming trough the house. Then she finally gives up and decides to call the police then your sisters try to restrain her but are having no luck at all. Your sisters begging for her not to call the police. Then probably whispering behind her back, things like, 'he's gonna be in big trouble when mother finds him.' " Sakura said with her finger still to her chin. Li looked at her. "Your just imagining things. They would never do that." "Your probably right." Then they got up from the table and made their way to the Teacups. (That fair ride.)
To be continue....
