Feel What?

"Are you sure?" A young man asked skeptically. His deep sea blue eyes almost glew in the somber of the room. Another man slowly paced back and forth, a small glass of red wine was held in his hand. The wine seemed as if it were swirling in the glass.
"Absolutely" He said almost cheerfully and took a sip if the cool liquid. His voice hinted a bit of anxiety. He walked over to a large red leather chair and sat down.
The room they sat in was dark, and held a malignancy aura around it. The two men were older, in their mid-20's, and spoke to each other in a dignified manner. The first young man looked a little younger then the second. He wore a black tank top and baggy black pants. The second man, on the other hand, wore an elegant white-silver suit. Small silver buttons ran down his coat.
He sat his wine on a small black crystal table next to the chair and stood up. His silver-white hair glimmered as he walked over to a coat rack and swung a long white cape around his shoulders. "Well, we better get back to work." He said coolly and walked away, disappearing into the darkness.
The first man ran his fingers through his thick silky ebony hair. "I hope that you know what you are doing Diamond" he said then looked back to where the small wine glass sat. He walked over and picked it up. Easily he poured the red wine on the floor.
The wine spread smoothly on the calm black marble parterre. Encircling itself with deep red swirls, an image began to form in the liquid. A girl slept solemnly in her bed. The man sighed uneasily as he stared at her. "Oh sure, she looks harmless" he said to himself. He gave her one last glimpse, then stepped in the puddle and walked out.

Syaoran woke up in a thin coat of sweat. Breathing hard, he looked over around his room. Hard thuds of rain beat against his window. His room was still in order, slightly tinted a night blue from the clouds outside. He could feel his dream slipping away …
He couldn't remember any sound, although he was sure that there was a little. Two men, one dressed in black, the other in white, were there. Their mouths saying soundless words to each other. The man dressed in black poured wine onto the floor. It began to swirl? No, it formed a picture. Suddenly he heard a voice echo through his mind. "Prince Diamond" vibrated as he saw the man dressed in white disappears.
He looked back to the picture in the wine…
"Sakura" He whispered to himself as it struck him. He pushed the warm blankets off from over him and stepped to the soft carpet. Walking through his room he pushed the heavy door open and walked out into the hall. The loud thuds of rain were echoing the hall as he made his way across to Sakura's room. He felt his heart begin to pound as he pushed her door open and walk over to her bed.
She slept there, peacefully. A soft sigh of relief flooded over him and he ran his fingers through his hair. Feeling somewhat foolish, he dismissed the dream and began to walk back to his room.
'What was that show Syaoran?' he thought to himself. He could sense any kind of danger … Why was he getting so upset over a dream? He shook his head and crawled back into bed.
~**~
"What?" a young girl said as her eyes shot open. "It's … It's impossible… He's… I thought that he was… dead" she whispered to herself as she raised her slender hand up to her head. She closed he eyes and meditated for a moment. She felt his presence.
He was profoundly powerful, she could tell, because such a strong power was not easy to hide, and he did an exceptionally good job at it. Was it not for her years training with the other outer scouts, she wouldn't have noticed it at all because the sense of him ended as quickly as it began.
She tied her deep black hair up into a small knot, then reached for the phone. Glancing at her clock as she dialed a phone number, it read 3:48am. She placed the phone up to her ear.

"Hotaru" came a soft voice from the other side. "I was expecting your call" The voice continued.
Hotaru was silent for a moment, then said timidly "We need to meet with the outers, Setsuna… I'm not sure what this is"

"Ohayo!" a cheery voice filled the air as Syaoran cooked fried vegetables over a hot stove. He turned around to see a happy Sakura standing there, a magnanimous smile across her face.
He smiled at her "Ohayo" he said back. She hugged him tightly and turned to see what he was doing. She looked back at him, eyes twinkling.
"Uh, I was just making some breakfast. I'm cooking carrots and potatoes and small pieces of seasoned chicken. And I made you some orange juice and a small bowl of noodles" he said almost shyly.
"Oh Syaoran!" she said and sat down at the table. Only a moment later he had placed a plate of food in front of her. She ate it willingly. All he did was watch, smiling. She noted this and looked up at him. "Aren't you going to eat?" she said as she took a bite of chicken.
"Yeah, I was just making sure that you were satisfied with your meal first" He picked up a small cup of green tea and a newspaper and sat next to Sakura. Sakura beamed.
The morning was fresh and warm. Thick rich sun rays shone down through kitchen and master windows. The mansion was clean and four or five maids wandered around. They did everything for her. They chose her cloths, showed her around the Mansion, and always had a full supply of her favorite treats stored in her room. Everyone was very polite to her.
"Miss Sakura" a house maid said from behind. Sakura placed her fork down and turned around. A young lady stood there, she held a white phone on top of a silver plate. "Telephone for you miss. Would you like me to tell Miss Tomoyo Daidouji that you are eating?"
"Tomoyo!" Sakura squealed. She looked back to Syaoran. "I made a phone call this morning" he told her as he took a sip of his tea. He smiled at her.
Sakura smiled and stood up "No, I'll take that please!" she said happily. The maid lowered the silver plate and Sakura grabbed the phone. The maid smiled and bowed, walking away.
"Moushi Moushi?" Sakura said into the phone.
"Sakura?" said Tomoyo as sweet as ever.
"Tomoyo-chan!" Sakura almost yelled. She had missed her friend for so long now. She giggled and flopped back into the large white leather sofa in the living room.
"Oh Sakura, it's so good to hear from you" Tomoyo said pleasantly
"Yes I know, Tomoyo, I've missed you so much! Where are you now? How did you know that I was here?" Sakura burst. Her heart beating rapidly.
"Well, I have been living with Chiharu-chan and Yoshiyuki-san in America, but now we've moved to France. I'm an artist. And Syaoran-kun called me about you" She said humbly. Sakura smiled into the phone, but said nothing.
"Well Sakura, where have you been? I haven't talked to you in so long, I'd almost think that you have abandoned me" Tomoyo said, shattering the pleasant silence.
"Oh me? Ah, I've been around. Sorry-" she began but was cut off.
"Why didn't you ever call me? You just disappeared one day" Tomoyo's tone changed suddenly. Sakura was a little shocked at first, but looked down.
"I just went through a little hard time" she said sadly. "But I'm talking to you now, so doesn't that count?" She declared jaunty again.
There was a small uneasy silence for a second, then it seemed almost as everything was back as they were before.
"Well I see that you and Syaoran are living together now. Are you engaged?" Tomoyo said cheerfully. Sakura exhaled in relief. She was just happy that Tomoyo didn't expect an explanation.
"Hoe, Tomoyo! I live with him, but there is nothing there!" Sakura laughed. Tomoyo always did expect something to grow from their friendship. Sakura smiled to herself then licked her lips. She didn't bother to tell Tomoyo about the kiss.
"Oh sure Sakura, you always have been really shy about admitting your feelings for Syaoran" She giggled. She could hear Sakura laughing on the other end.
"Tomoyo-chan, I miss you so much, why don't you come back?" Sakura said hinting her melancholy being alone. Tomoyo sighed.
"Sakura, I have work here, I can't just get up and leave… I hold responsibilities now" Tomoyo lied. She bit her bottom lip gently from guilt. She knew that wasn't the reason. She heard Sakura's tone drop.
"Oh ok, I understand. Well Tomoyo-chan, I am eating breakfast with Syaoran … Can I talk to you later?" She asked politely.
"I hope so, then we can really catch up on things" Tomoyo said sweetly, almost innocently. Sakura swallowed hard.
"Um, sure, I'll talk to you later then! Ja ne!" She said finally.
"Ja ne"

Sakura turned on the couch and looked up to the ceiling. "Hmm…" She said to herself.
Syaoran looked up from his newspaper. "Everything alright?" he asked her, his voice low." No Syaoran, it's nothing. Why do you ask?" she looked over towards him.
"No reason, just checking" He said and smiled. She smiled back and stood up.
Just then, Eriol and Meiling walked in the house, Meiling held a small boy in her arms. "Hey you two" Eriol said and shut the door behind him.
"Well it's about time you woke up" Meiling said, laughing. Sakura blushed.
"It's only 8:30" She said shyly. Eriol walked past and to the kitchen. He picked up a small glass and filled it with orange juice. "Well Sakura, what were your plans for today? Meiling and I would love it if you would join us to go to the theater." He walked back over to Meiling and moved his arm around her. "Yes Sakura, it'd be fun for you I think, do you like ballet?" Meiling added. Sakura paused for a moment.
"But I was hoping…" She began and looked over at Syaoran.
"Oh… yeah Sakura, I really wanted to spend some time with you, but I have to work" Syaoran said sympathetically. Sakura looked down. He placed his hand on her arm and she nodded.
"Ok, I understand" she said and then looked up, smiling "So what about that theater?"

Raye swept the hard wooden floors of the old shrine. The heavy sunlight poured down through the trees and reflected off of her jet black hair. A drop of sweat streamed down her neck.
"Agh! It's so hot!" She cursed as she swept. It was nearly 1:00 in the afternoon, and she had been working the entire morning and was exhausted and annoyed. She looked up into the burning sun and snarled before she dropped her broom. "I can't work like this! I'm going to be burnt alive at this rate!" She screamed.
"A little stress Raye?" said a tall girl from behind. Her long platinum blond hair falling down her slender figure. She grinned at her friends expense.
"It's not so easy Minako." She hissed. Minako laughed and walked into the shrine, Raye following not too far behind. "So where are the rest of them?" She asked.
"They should be coming soon I think" she said as she walked over to the small meeting table that the Inners used often. On top was a small steaming teapot and five clean teacups stacked on top of each other. A small basket filled with warm biscuits that Usagi usually ate sat next to the cups.
"So do you know what this is about? Or are you in the shadows?" Raye asked as she sat across from Minako. Minako shrugged. "I'm not too sure, but it's something about Usagi and Mamoru yesterday. Or at least that's what she said"
"Who said?" Raye looked over.
"Usagi! Duh Raye! Don't you listen?" Minako snapped
"Calm down Minako. You don't need to get so upset" Raye told her.
The shrine door opened and Ami and Makoto walked in. They both bowed in traditional addressing.
"Good afternoon" Ami said cheerfully. She had her short dark blue hair tied up in two small ponies. The other girl had semi-long brown hair that was pulled up in her usual tie. They both casually walked over to the table and sat down.
Ami picked up a small teacup "So, what's going on guys?" she poured herself some tea.
Minako looked shocked "You mean you don't know?" she said surprised. Ami looked over to her, curiosity smiling in her eyes "What are you talking about?"
"Usagi asked us all to meet here today. That's all I know" Raye spoke out. Makoto looked over to Ami. "You don't think anything is wrong, do you?"
Ami shook her head "I think that Usagi would have said something if there was anything wrong. I think that this is more about a personal issue. Maybe she is having boyfriend troubles"
"Well, if that's the case, then she is being a little rude. We have lives too… I personally don't have the time to sit around and have 'girl talk' right now" Raye spat out "I have to clean this place for grandpa's party"
"Well it's a good thing that this is a serious matter then" came an angry voice from the door. Usagi stood there with a provoked looked on her face.
The rest of the girls fell silent, partially from guilt of what they had been talking about. How long had she been standing there?
"Um, so what did you call us for Usagi?" Minako said as she shone a smile. Usagi didn't accept the apology so easily. She just walked by.
"I was hoping that you could look into the fire to see if there is anything going on Raye" Usagi said slightly quietly. Raye looked up suddenly.
"What?" she asked. Usagi didn't say anything for a moment, then started "I was at the park yesterday… with Mamoru… and I… felt something"
All the girls looked up, speechless. Not a sort of alarmed silent, but more confused instead. "Felt something?" Makoto said finally baffled. She raised her hand to her head "What kind of something?"
"Like an enemy feeling?" Minako asked.
"Well, I'm not too sure. It happened so quickly that I barely caught it." Usagi said thinking back. The girls were bewildered. "The only thing that bothered me about it was that… it somehow felt… familiar" Usagi concluded. "Familiar? Like what?" Raye asked. Usagi shook her head. "I don't know" she said slowly.
Raye stood up "And you want a fire reading?" Usagi nodded. Raye put her finger up to her forehead. "Didn't Mamoru feel anything?" Usagi shook her head again.
"No, he told me that it was probably nothing, but it was too… strange to be just nothing" Usagi said as she sat down. Raye looked over to Ami, who raised her shoulders.
"Well ok Usagi, if you think that it's necessary" Raye said as she began to walk to the other room. The other four girls stood up, including Usagi, and walked to the sacred room.
In the center of the room was a small burning pile of amber. The light that it dislodged was very placid and the room silent, save for the light noise of burning wood. The four girls walked to the sidelines of the room while Raye sauntered strait to the center, directly in front of the fire. She kneeled before it. Ami, Makoto, Minako and Usagi all sat along the wall, watching Raye.
"Fire" Raye whispered. The fire seemed to recognize its name because it rose quickly at the sound of it. The large transparent flames blasted heat as it licked as much air as it could. The girls along the wall all squinted and covered their faces from the great heat. Raye seemed to be use to it because she still sat motionless.
She raised her hands to her face. "Wind, water, rock…" Raye began to chant. Each word that she uttered had a hand signal of its own. The rest of the girls still sat as they watched. They had seen this ritual countless times, but for some odd reason, this time it had a whole new feel to it. Like… something was different…
Raye continued her chant until she came to a new verse.
" Spirits of this sacred flame
Reveal until me a face or name
Of the presence that Usagi felt
Or the enemies around that must be delt "
The fire stood still and soundless. Seconds passed and Raye looked up. A sliver of confusion passed through the girls as the silence began to take over. Raye repeated the rhyme, only a little more clamorous.
Still nothing. The fire was wavering around. The girls looked at each other, perplexity painted across their faces. Raye tried one last time, still resulting in nothing. Raye sighed and looked up to Usagi.
"Are you positive that you felt something at the park?" She questioned. Usagi looked shocked.
"You doubt me?" She said defensively. Raye's voice quickly turned. "Oh no, it's just that the flames aren't picking up anything… They can feel everything." Usagi stood up. "Well they're wrong Raye! I know that I felt something" Usagi protested. Raye sweatdropped "Usagi, are you su-"
"I already told you! I'm very sure" Usagi snapped "Can't you try it again?"
Raye began to become annoyed. "Usagi, I tried three times… if anything was there, it would have showed" she narrowed her eyes. Usagi's mood changed again as she looked down. "Look Raye, something is going on… you may not believe it… but something is happening" She mumbled as she turned and ran out of the door. Raye exhaled "Usagi…" she said and looked to the other girls. "What are we going to do?"

"Setsuna" said a soft voice as the door closed. The girl was sitting in the bench before the serene pool. Her silky turquoise hair seemed to flow down her shoulders as she gently played the small yet majestically violin.
Setsuna smiled and walked toward her. "Michiru" she nodded and looked around the room. They were in some sort of aquarium. The walls were tall and made up of glass with small silver fish swimming behind them. In the center of the room was a large pool, but the bottom of the pool was a glass floor, where the fish could be seen swimming as well. Along the pool were several dark blue satin covered chairs. A soft tranquil light filled the room a soft blue color. Setsuna walked up to Michiru and sat in the chair next to her. She smiled at the beautiful music the Michiru was playing.
"Where is Haruka and Hotaru?" she asked quietly. Michiru stopped playing and looked up to Setsuna. "They are here" she said sweetly and blinked her glossy blue eyes. Setsuna blinked and turned around. There stood Haruka next to Hotaru. She smiled "Oh of course." she said.
Hotaru walked over around Setsuna and sat in the chair next to her. Haruka did the same as Michiru placed her violin back into its case.
"Well, what's this all about Setsuna? I'm hoping that you know going on" Haruka said harshly and she flipped her short blond hair back. Her deep green eyes glowed in the dark of the room.
Setsuna glared "Actually, yes I do know what this is about. And you don't have to talk to me as if we were enemies. We are on the same side Haruka" she was as a small smile spread across her face. Haruka sat back in the large chair, one eyebrow arched. Setsuna began again. "Hotaru and I felt something last night."
Michiru sat up slowly "Felt?" she said seriously. "What king of feeling?"
Hotaru shook her head "It's not to easy to explain. If was an all new sense, but very familiar somehow. As if it were a returned evil"
The room caught a silence and held on to it. They just looked at each other, as if they were reading their minds, searching for any kind of feeling, but Setsuna broke it by holding out her staff of time.
"One Time" She whispered, cold like death. Her eyes began to glow an ice blue color, the same happened to the small orb on top of the staff. A strong cold wind began to swirl around the four girls, causing their hair to fly around. The white-blue orb grew to become a large swirling ring.
"This time" she whispered once more. Just then the ring burst into a blinding white light. Immense amounts of power could be felt everywhere, blocking off any other sense of power. Haruka's eyes widened. She knew that this power from Setsuna was extremely robust. The search coming from the staff was efficacious, and slowed down as an image began to form.
It was a girl. She had mildly long brown hair. And she slept.
"Her name is…"
The other girls looked over to Setsuna, whose eyes were still glowing, breaking their gaze from the image.
"Sakura"
~**~
Syaoran jumped up from a deep sleep, sweat making his hair soak and clothes stick to his body. Panting hard he looked around. His dream. Those four girls. What did it mean? But he knew. He felt a dark fear creep up on him as his head began to pound.
"No!" He screamed as he jumped off his bed, holding on to his head. He began to run towards the door before a strong grip grabbed his shirt, stopping him.
"No! Let go! LET GO NOW!!" he began streaming, white tears forming in his eyes. Eriol still held firm.
"It's too late… She's already gone" he whispered. Syaoran wouldn't believe him, but Eriol's hold was too strong for him right then. He dropped to the floor, panting hard and tears flowing down his face. He felt his energy draining. His muscles ached.
"No" he sobbed as he lay on the floor. "Sakura"
