Sakura was sitting on her bed playing a card game with Kero-chan. It was all quiet because
they were in deep thought.
'Okay' Sakura thought 'I'm stuck until he puts down his six…'
Kero-chan flipped over three cards from his deck. The top card was the six of spades, the
card Sakura was waiting for. He put that down on top of the five of spades in one of the
spade deck's. Sakura then in turn put down her seven of spades, and then her eight of
hearts. Kero-chan put down the nine of hearts. They put down almost all of their cards
until…
"Nerts." Kero-chan called out. Sakura looked down and dropped the card she was holding.
Kero-chan had gotten rid of all of his cards before her. She almost fell off of her bed.
"That's fifty-seven wins for me, and ten for you." Kero-chan said proudly, as he tallied
another mark on the score sheet. "Do you want to try for eleven wins for you or fifty-eight
wins for me?"
Sakura shook her head "No thanks, how about a game of Go-fish…?"
Sakura's mind wasn't really thinking right to be playing games. It was a few days ago that
she figured out that she had to capture another set of cards, stronger than the Clow
Cards, the Nemesis Cards. Her first card of the set, the Death Card, was a real trip for
her. She almost lost her life, as well as Syaoran's, Tomoyo's, and a whole lot of others.
She also met up with another card captor, Korman, who was Kero-chan's student a hundred
years ago.
'Two sets of cards to worry about, and I might loose my life in the process of capturing
them.' Sakura thought, ignoring Kero-chan.
"Earth to Sakura, do we have contact?" Kero-chan said as he waved his arms in the air,
trying to get her attention.
"Oh… sorry. I… er… was thinking." The dazed Sakura said. "Can you tell me a little about
Korman since he was your student?"
"What do you want to know about him?" Kero-chan asked gruffly as he started putting the
cards away.
"Almost everything. When did he become your student and why?"
Kero-chan sighed "He was my first student a long time ago. This was all before I was the
guardian of the Clow Cards. Korman was just a kid with some kind of strong power."
"What about the Nemesis Cards?" she asked, starting to think about the book with snakes
and a sword on it, which held the Nemesis Cards.
"I don't know much about the cards themselves, but I do know a legend. Well, it's half
legend and half real life." He saw Sakura make herself comfortable for the story. "It was
said that they were made about the same time as the Clow Cards. But they would be far more
powerful then the Clow Cards themselves. They were the first cards to go evil, and they
caused a wide path of destruction of pain, suffering, and death. Clow Reed at the time had
power over the Clow Cards, so he used them to stop the Nemesis Cards." He paused.
"So then what happened?" Sakura asked out of curiosity.
Kero-chan shook his head. "They failed, all of them. Clow Reed asked a lot of wizards and
witches for help."
"And they all put him down, right?"
"Yep. They were too afraid that they were going to loose their lives as well. But one came
up to Clow Reed and told him that they'd help."
"And that was Korman." Sakura put in.
"Right again." He said while nodding "Clow Reed looked him over as I did. Both of us
sensed a strange power coming from him. I looked at Clow Reed, and he nodded."
"So that's how he became your student."
Kero-chan nodded again "I took him to the spot where one of the Nemesis Cards were said
to hide. Once Korman stepped into its domain, it attacked. But before it did, it paused
as if sensing the strong power coming from him. Korman wasted no time in attacking.
Once the card was down, he held out his hands infront of him. Then, it was sealed in
its card." He paused, taking a breath. "Since he was the only one to seal the Nemesis
Cards, he had to guard then so they wouldn't escape again. He was put into a time sealed
cave. No time could penetrate it so no time would pass. That's why he looks the same as
he did a hundred years ago."
"I see…" said Sakura.
Just then the phone rang. Sakura jumped at the sound because she was used to the quiet of
just Kero-chan and her talking. Then she eased a little when she went to go pick it up.
"Hello, Kinomoto residence. This is Sakura speaking."
"Sakura, it's me, Tomoyo!"
"Hi Tomoyo" Said Sakura happily
"So… whatchyah been doing lately?" then she lowered her voice. "Did I miss any new card
captures?"
They rarely talked about Sakura and the others being Card Captors. If they did talk, they
had to be very careful incase someone was eavesdropping on one of the other lines. Tomoyo
always wanted to know what she had been missing with the captures. She always taped them
with her video camera.
Sakura dropped her voice too. "Yeah you did miss some while you were gone." Then she raised
her voice to normal speaking tone. "I was just listening to a story Kero-chan was telling
me. So, what have you been doing?"
"Oh, I just met this really cute looking guy in the park!" Tomoyo said, her voice jumpy.
"You did?! What did he look like?" Sakura asked excitedly
Kero-chan rolled his eyes and muttered something that sounded like 'Girls…'
"He had the most gorgeous blue eyes and the coolest of blonde hair. And he's a sweet
talker." Tomoyo sounded like she was going to pass out just describing him.
Sakura paused in shock, almost dropping the phone. She knew exactly who Tomoyo was talking
about, Korman.
"Hello… Sakura you still there?"
Sakura snapped back into reality. "Yes I'm still here! That guy sounds so cool! Um… listen
Tomoyo…"
"What Sakura?"
"I know that guy…"
"You do?" Tomoyo sounded a little disappointed
"Um… yeah. I met him during my last capture. He's another Card Captor, that's over a
hundred years old."
Sakura waited for the laughter from Tomoyo. Instead she heard the dropping of the phone
and a loud thunck.
"Tomoyo… um… Tomoyo! Are you still there?" Sakura asked, panic-stricken.
She heard a groan on the other line. Then Tomoyo came back on. "Um… Sakura can I call you
back?"
"Well I was going to ask if you can come over. I've got to have a meeting with the others
about this guy."
"Sure… What time?"
"Try for one o'clock, okay?"
"Yeah… alright. See you then…" Sakura heard a small click indicating that Tomoyo hung up.
Sakura sighed and hung the phone back up. She fell backwards and landed on her bed, and
sighed. She glanced up at the clock, which read 11:00 a.m. 'Well, I better start calling
the others after I ask my dad.'While she began getting up, ready to leave the room,
Kero-chan stopped her.
"What was that about a meeting I heard?"
"Oh it's at one so you better do whatever you need to do now."
Sakura ran down stairs.
After a few minutes, Sakura was back upstairs. She asked her dad if she could have some
friends over just to talk. To her relief he said yes. She thanked her dad, ran back
upstairs and called the others. The only one's she called were Li and Meilin (she was back
for the summer). She told them all the time when to come, and left it at that, giving
little details about the meeting. She'd explain it all to them at the meeting.
When one came rolling around, Sakura rushed downstairs. She sat on the couch, waiting for a
knock at the door. Then when there was a knock, she bolted up off of the couch, and almost
ran to the door. When she opened it, there was Tomoyo. She was wearing her hair down with
the traditional school outfit.
"Hey Sakura!"
"Hi Tomoyo!"
Sakura brought Tomoyo inside. Once inside, she took off her shoes and left them by the door. They both sat down on the couch waiting for the others. Sakura excused herself once to go get Kero-chan in her room. Once she was back, Tomoyo asked her a question.
"So what's this meeting suppose to be about anyway, Sakura?"
"It's going to be about the boy I was talking to you about earlier over the phone." Sakura
said, looking at the clock.
"Oh!" Tomoyo said, slightly blushing
A few more minutes passed by until another knock was heard at the door. Sakura got up and
went to go answer it. She opened the door and choked back a laugh at what she saw. Syaoran
was standing there looking more embarrassed than ever, and Meilin was hanging her arms
around his neck with a huge smile covering her face.
"Um…" Sakura started to say.
The smile on Meilins face promptly vanished when she saw who answered the door.
"Oh… it's you." Meilin said
Syaoran groaned. Sakura brought both of them in. They as well took off their shoes, and
went to go sit next to Tomoyo. Sakura was in the end and put on her best fake smile ever.
"Anyone want refreshments before this all starts? I've got Coke, Sprite, Orange Soda, and
just water."
Everyone gave her their order.
"Coke please" said Tomoyo
"I'll just have water, thanks" Syaoran said with Meilin still clinging to him
"Water." Was all Meilin said.
Sakura went into the kitchen and got the drinks. She came back with a tray, holding four
glasses.
"We have to talk about this outside." Sakura said. Everyone else nodded and followed her.
Once outside, they sat under the tall cherry tree, that was still in bloom. Small pink
colored petals fell off of the tree as the wind blew.
"What's this about Sakura?" Syaoran asked with a stern face.
"Um… well, we… I meen 'I' have to face a really big problem." Sakura answered
Everyone stared at her as if asking to go on. Kero-chan looked at her as well, even though
he was there when it all happened.
"Well, do you all remember the reports about the people dying all of a sudden?" she asked
them and they all nodded.
"What does that have to do with anything?" Meilin snapped
"Would you just listen to Sakura?!" Kero-chan shouted
Meilin promptly fell quiet, looking at Sakura.
"Well, we meaning me, Kero-chan, and Syaoran, figured out that it was some kind of card…"
"So it was a Clow Card?" Syaoran asked
"No… well… yes… in a way, but they are far from the Clow Cards. They're called the Nemesis
Cards. I'll show you the one that I caught a few days ago."
Sakura pulled out the book, which she had gotten down when she got Kero-chan. Everyone
looked at the old book, which held the Nemesis Cards. The golden snakes shimmered in the
sunlight along with the sword and the dragon fangs that were all melded on the cover of a
black book. Sakura opened it and pulled out the Death Card.
Everyone gasped. The card that held the first Nemesis Card was more than what they b
argained for. The picture of the dragon seemed to go darker as the sun light grew brighter.
"And…" Sakura started again. "I met a new card captor." Everyone tore their eyes off of
the card to look at Sakura again.
"You what?" Syaoran said with his mouth gaping
"Girl or boy?" Meilin asked
"His name is Korman, and he helped me a little. You should actually talk to Kero-chan about
it because Korman was his student." She looked at Kero-chan
Everyone switched from Sakura to Kero-chan, who did a little bow before he started. "My
student a hundred years ago was Korman. He was the original one who caught all of the
Nemesis Cards so treat him with respect when you meet him…" he was cut short by a voice
that seemed to come out of no where.
"Oh come on Kero-chanbaros. You don't need to tell them to give me that much respect."
From someplace came Korman. Everyone turned to meet him, and Sakura and Kero-chan smiled.
"Everyone, say hello to Korman." Sakura said, introducing him.
Korman gave a small nod and a wave with his hand. Meilin and Tomoyo looked like they could
have hearts in their eyes and they also looked like they were going to feint. Syaoran,
however, did not look amused. He just stood crossed armed and lips sealed.
"Wow! You look good for someone who's a hundred and some odd years old!" Meilin said,
forgetting about Syaoran.
"Korman" Sakura started with the introductions. "My I introduce you to Syaoran, Meilin,
and Tomoyo." She pointed to each one as she said their names. Korman gave a little bow
to each of the ladies and held out his hand to shake Syaoran's. Syaoran, out of respect,
took it and gave it a little handshake, then withdrew it quickly.
"Korman, can you tell us a little about yourself?" Sakura asked him.
He smiled and nodded. And told every one of them the same thing he told Sakura when they
first met. He only gave the small details like, who he was, main statistics, and how he
had lasted a hundred years in an eleven year old body. Tomoyo's and Meilin's eyes were
practically glued to him while he was talking. Syaoran didn't give two fig-nuts about
what he was saying, he only cared who he was and what he was doing.
Just then, a strong wind blew up. The clouds in the sky covered up the sun, and it got
colder.
"That's strange. It was suppose to be clear all day." Tomoyo said, looking up at the sky.
The blossoms of the cherry tree they were under began to glow a strange color.
"What the…?" Syaoran started to say, but his words were lost in a large wind gush.
A green circle, encircled everyone in the parameter of the tree. Sakura tried running but
she seemed frozen to the spot she was at. Then, in a rush of iridescent light, they
disappeared.
