The Master's Stone
Chapter 13
By: AznTiGeR1628
Sakura woke early in the morning on Saturday. She flicked her eyes opened and sat up in bed. She could have sworn that she had felt a forest green, a midnight blue, and a golden yellowish aura. She didn't know of any other people with magic at that moment except Jing but she had just felt a faint flicker.
'That's strange…' Sakura thought. She knit her eyebrows together searching for those faint flickers but found none. Annoyed and puzzled, Sakura lay down again. She looked over to her clock. It was around 9:00. She might as well get ready for another day of training since it was Saturday. She and Kero had decided when school started that the training should be on Saturday's. That is if they didn't have anything else to do.
Sakura tapped on the floor for a few seconds with her feet wondering what she would do before she went to go train. Maybe she could call Tomoyo and ask if she wanted to go check out that new store in the Tokyo Center and then get Zylon Warriors: Revelation of the Next Hero for Kero to play since Kero had already beaten the previous game and was getting really bored at home. But it was 9:00 and the stores won't open for another hour so might as well call Tomoyo later.
Sakura got up from her bed and went to her closet for suitable shopping clothes but also suitable for training. She took a stretchy pink Tee and khaki flares that has the two more pockets on the sides of her thighs. Sakura washed up and brushed her teeth. She unclipped her necklace with the crystal cherry blossom and Clow key. Then she wet a paper towel and cleaned it as best as she could until the crystal cherry blossom flickered with light. 'I better buy some kind of cleaning solution.' After she finished cleaning it, she clipped it back around her neck. By then it was around 10:00 since she was taking as much time as she could.
She heard her father wake up and yawn. He started getting ready and she heard him walk down the hall to the bathroom. She tapped the drawer where Kero was still sleeping and then walked to her bag to pull out the cell phone. She punched in Tomoyo's cell phone number and hit send as she plopped down on the bed.
"Hey Sakura." Tomoyo automatically said when she pressed the send button.
"Hey Tomoyo. Would you like to go check out that new store at the town center and then buy the Zylon Warriors: Revelation of the Next Hero for Kero to play?" Sakura asked. " Oh yeah! And also buy some breakfast there." Sakura heard her stomach rumble. She sweat dropped.
"Sure. What time though? What about… In half an hour?" Tomoyo asked.
"Hey! Let's call Jing and see if she wants to come with us." Sakura suggested. It would be great to get to know her better.
"Okay. Do you want me to call or do you want to call?" Tomoyo grabbed her phone book to look for Jing's number. She quickly scanned the last for Li Jing but couldn't find it.
"Do you have Jing's number? I don't think I asked her for it." Tomoyo closed shut her phone book and placed it back in her desk drawer.
Sakura looked for her phone book and spotted it on her desk. Kero had just popped out with sleepy eyes from the desk drawer.
"Kero? Can you get me my phone book?" Sakura asked. Kero blinked his eyes opened.
"Sure…" Kero floated up tiredly to pick up the phone book and dropped it into Sakura's hands.
"Thanks Kero."
"Your welcome." Kero said as he settled back down on her pillow for more rest. He yawned and then curled up to sleep.
Sakura opened up the phone book and flipped it to the L's.
"I think I have it." Sakura said as she skimmed down the long list. She caught sight of Syaoran's name but torn her eyes away from it.
Sakura stopped at the name right above his. Li Jing. "I have it Tomoyo. I'll call you back after I call her and ask okay?"
"Okay. Talk to you in awhile. Bye." Tomoyo said.
Sakura heard the click and then punched the end button. She looked back down to Jing's number and punched it into her cell phone. Then she hit send.
The cell phone rang three times but no one picked it up. Just as Sakura was about to hang up, someone picked up the phone.
"Moshi Moshi. Li residence. Who's calling?" A female voice said.
"This is Sakura." Sakura said into the receiver.
"Oh! Hey Sakura! This is Jing. What's up?" Jing said happily.
"Tomoyo and I want to know if you want to come to the town center with us to check out the new store and buy some breakfast." Sakura said.
"I'm sorry… I have already made plans for today." Jing replied. Suddenly Jing got a really good idea. She grinned mischievously.
"Oh. We were hoping that you could come with us.. Maybe another time then. Bye." Sakura said sadly.
"Bye Sakura." Jing said before she hung up the phone.
Sakura hit the end button again. She let it drop to the pillow and fingered her crystal cherry blossom absent-mindedly. She sighed but punched Tomoyo's number in again and hit send.
"Hey Sakura." Tomoyo said. "So is she coming?" Tomoyo asked.
"No. She had plans." Sakura said.
"Oh. Then I'll meet you in the town center in half and hour. Okay? Bye." Tomoyo said.
"Okay. See you then." Sakura hit the end button and then tossed her cell phone into her bag.
"Coming Kero? I'm taking the Tokyo Express bus." Sakura said to the sleepy guardian.
"Sure. But you have to buy me cake. Chocolate if you can." Kero grinned at the thought of cake… Especially the frosting. 'mmmmm. Yum.'
Sakura took her pink pullover windbreaker with the large front pocket and little zipper that was only three inches down from her neck, since the forecaster said it would be sunny today but quite windy.
She grabbed her bag and opened it for Kero to get in. He flew in and settled down.
Sakura carefully put it on her shoulders and skipped down the stairs. Her father was making omelets and bacon. Sakura grabbed a few slices of crisp bacon and told her father where she was going.
"Tomoyo's going to be with me." Sakura said.
Fujitaka Kinomoto smiled at his daughter. "Be back by 5 though and call me if you are going to be out later." He pulled out his wallet and gave her some money for the bus, breakfast and lunch.
Sakura smiled back. "I will."
She grabbed her house keys and walked out of the house waving good-bye to her father. Sakura walked down her street and took a left. She walked down a block before Sakura came to the bus stop. She waited for about five minutes before she saw the bus coming. She took out 85 cents and boarded the bus with three other people. Sakura looked around the bus and sat close to the back.
She heard a muffled voice say. "Air!" She patted the bag to quiet him. Kero quieted down. Sakura looked around her and the closest person was at least 7 seats away so she opened the bag slightly. Kero's round yellow head popped out. He sucked in some air and said. "Ahhh.." as he breathed out. He stayed like that until the next stop came. Sakura watched as a guy came on the bus and saw her in the back. Sakura shoved Kero back into the bag and closed it as the guy came toward her.
He sat down in front of her as she tried to shove the bag behind her. She had to admit he was quite handsome. He had blackish brown hair and brown eyes. He reminded her of someone… but not quite.
(you thought it was Syaoran? Nope not yet ^^ )
"Hey cutie. Whatcha got there?" The guy said.
Sakura could already tell that this guy was a player.
Then they both heard a loud sneeze from the bag.
Sakura sweat dropped but started to sneeze hysterically.
The guy raised his eyebrows at her and gave her a look as if she was crazy. Especially because he heard that sneeze from the bag and so he started to inch away.
"I'm sorry. Pollen season." She smiled at the guy in front of her. The guy just gave a half-fake smile and turned around and didn't talk to her at all for the rest of the bus ride.
Finally after the second stop, Sakura got off and she looked around. She was at the town center. Sakura looked around for Tomoyo and finally spotted her down the street.
Sakura walked quickly down the street to meet up with Tomoyo.
*~*~*~*
Jing looked at the large group of people coming out of the airplane terminal. She didn't spot Si Mun and she couldn't feel her aura. Where was she? Jing tried to contact her mentally but didn't get a response.
Si Mun?! Where are you?!
*~*~*~*
Si Mun and Syaoran headed for the back of the airplane before they were ready for landing. They sat in the seats all the way in the back where there weren't any people sitting near them. "Sit!" Si Mun ordered.
Syaoran sat down quickly and wondered what she was going to do. Si Mun sat next to him and looked back down the aisle to see if there were any people coming. Nope.
"I want to frighten Jing. Just for fun." Si Mun chuckled quietly. She took out her pendent and muttered a spell. The midnight blue glittery specks appeared at their feet and swirled around until it surrounded both of them for a brief moment and then the specks disappeared. It lasted less then a second.
"What did you just do?" Syaoran asked.
"I concealed your aura. So then Jing can't find us if she is looking our aura." Si Mun said with a mischievous smile.
Syaoran shrugged.
Then they heard the pilot ask everyone to buckle their seatbelts and put away stray articles to prepare for landing. Si Mun and Syaoran both hurried back to their seats.
*~*~*~*
"She's right there." Si Mun whispered to him. They were hiding behind a group of people so Jing couldn't see them.
She closed her eyes. She could feel Jing's aura.
Syaoran saw Si Mun look at something near them. He turned his head to look in the same direction. Syaoran caught sight of a young girl, about the same age as him and Si Mun, standing only a few yards away. She had light brown hair, which was about medium length, and light brown eyes. She had a golden yellow aura. He saw her turn around and look about. That's when he saw the same pendent Si Mun had except hers was a golden yellow color. 'I guess that golden yellow is the Dawn orb's color.'
The girl turned around to look the opposite direction from them. Si Mun sneaked up behind Jing and gave her a small shove on the back. Jing yelled out hey in surprise and whipped around. Her eyes widened in surprise but they soon turned playful frown and she shoved Si Mun back as if they were old time friends… which they are.
"Where's Syaoran?" Jing asked puzzled. Si Mun turned around and pulled Syaoran over.
"Syaoran. This is my martial arts partner, who has the other Twin orb Dawn, and also my best friend. Meet Li Jing!" Si Mun said enthusiastically. Jing gave Syaoran a friendly smile.
"Its nice to finally meet the Great Li Clan Leader." Then she smiled mischievously at him. She turned to Si Mun and they spoke mentally to each other. Syaoran raised an eyebrow quizzically at them. Si Mun jumped up in happiness. "Let's go then!" Si Mun said happily.
"Wait!" Jing put a warning hand up. She must not know we are coming! Jing said mentally. Si Mun rolled her eyes at Jing.
"All right." Jing turned to Syaoran.
"You have the Time card do you not?" Syaoran nodded yes.
"Use it now." Jing said. Syaoran called on his sword quickly and used the Time Card.
Jing took out her pendent and muttered a spell and golden yellow glittery specks swarmed at her feet and engulfed her. Then the specks disappeared. It all lasted less than a second. Now Syaoran couldn't feel Jing's aura. He called back the time card and his sword wondering what they were up to. Jing and Si Mun ushered, and pushed, Syaoran to the nearest taxicab and put their entire luggage in the back and hopped in after him.
