Nakura looked out the window in horror. There were masses of angry people
standing outside the gate, all with magic abilities. She silently thanked
the fates that when Eriol had bought the house, he had gotten one with an
Iron Gate, making it impossible for anyone to get in.
"What's wrong," asked Sakura, walking over to where Nakura stood.
Nakura made a motion with her chin out the window and Sakura gasped. She had known from a dream the previous night that the Li clan would attack today from her mysterious double. She had, thank god, brought all the cards with her, so she wasn't helpless. But she was surprised to find an all-out attack.
"They arrived, haven't they," said Eriol, still sitting on the floor.
"How did you know?" asked Sakura, walking over to the staircase, which was in the room they were in.
"Just did," he said shrugging. Truthfully Ray had told him about it before hand and knowing Ray, it was properly going to happen.
Nakura walked over to the stairs and started walking up them, dragging her feet like she was going up them against her will.
"Why are you going the stairs," asked a confused Sakura who was looking up the stairs.
Nakura already had rounded the corner and she peeked her head over the banister. " The clan is trying to disengage the security system and when they get tired of that, they'll start burning up the fence because they can't decode the system. I'm going to go on the roof and show them my ice crystals," she said grinning at Suppi and the other guardians.
Eriol's other guardian and Sakura's followed the grin and they bounded up the stairs to get even for the attack on Sakura so many years ago. Eriol and Sakura watched them go, hopeless. They couldn't convince them that hurting the clan would only make the situation worse. Sakura turned to face everyone that were left in the room and said authority," All you stay down here with Touya. I don't want anyone to you getting hurt," and her and Eriol ran up the stairs in pursuit of the enraged guardians. Ray waited until they had rounded the corner and she started walking up the stairs.
"What the hell you doin," a voice said behind her.
She spun around with a groan and saw Touya staring at her. "Going upstairs," she said annoyed she had been caught.
"Did you just hear the speech Sakura just gave us. She told us to stay down here," he said, arms crossed in defience.
Ray checked to make sure that no one was watching and she hopped down the stairs and before Touya could react she hit him on the forehead with her staff which had transformed from a red necklace in the shape of a tear-drop into a wooden staff with a ruby between two prongs. He dropped like a load of bricks and Ray caught him before he hit the ground. She dragged him unconscious body down the stairs and set his body so he was leaning on the wall. She bounced up the stairs and before she rounded the corner she whispered, " You never saw me go up the stairs," and she waved her staff in the direction of Touya and went around the corner. Touya awoke with a start with a pounding headache.
Ray walked up the remainder of the stairs and walked into Eriol's bedroom. She found the window open and she climbed out, almost knocking her head on the window frame.
"What are you doing," Ray was greeted by when she stepped out into the daylight. What she saw made her proud. Nakura and Yue were flying around shooting their ice crystals at the members of the clan and Kero and Suppi were doing the same with their breath attacks. The attacks weren't harming anyone because the clan had put up shields but they were majority annoying them. Syaoran yelled encouragement's to the people that were trying to scale the fence and the people who were trying to break the code to open the gates. Brad smiled at the site of Ray emerging and Ray slightly shuddered. Kaho had told him who she was. So far, Brad's plan was going to plan.
Eriol had his staff out and was doing a reading on the gates. The clan had given up trying to find the code to open the gates and instead were throwing balls of fire at the gate, hoping to melt it. The fire, thank god, hadn't spreaded because it was melting the 10 inches of the snow and the water doused the flames.
"We have to do something soon or the gate going to fall," Eriol said.
"What can we do?" asked Sakura, having no clue what to do.
Ray watched Sakura thought process and rolled her eyes. She wanted to so badly turn into the tiger and show them not to mess with the cards and Sakura. She looked to Eriol in a silent plea for him to let her attack. He shook his head no and Ray got an expression on her face like she wanted to murder him. She hung her in thought and she came from a sudden thought of brillence.
"Hey, Sakura. Why don't you hit them on the ground with something," she hinted.
Sakura was going to ask her what she meant when suddenly a hole appeared in the fence and Syaoran led the clan in a charge through the hole.
"Just use Earthy, you stupid idiot," shouted Ray, loosing her temper.
Sakura grabbed the deck of her cards from inside her sailor outfit and flipped through the deck in a hurry, sensing the urgency of the situation. She found earthy near the back and threw the card in front of her and twirled her wand expertly hitting the card in the center, releasing the sprit that was contained in it. A huge rock snake emerged and burrowed into the ground. The ground shook and several mountains of rock shot into the air, taking along several members of the clan. It was mass chaos at ground- zero and Sakura covered her ears with her hands so she didn't have to hear the screams. Ray watched the earthquake in satisfaction. They deserved what they got.
Syaoran sent a gust of wind under his feet so he could float in the air avoiding the quake. His powers weren't great enough to get him on the roof where Sakura and cards were, but he was high enough to avoid the impending danger.
"Stop it, Sakura. Call the card off and listen to me." He shouted.
Sakura shouted for the card to stop and she faced Syaoran, her face a mask of fury." What do you want?"
"I want the cards, that's what. The cards belong to us by blood right. Now give them here."
Sakura was instantly remained of when they first meet." No, I won't. Kero gave me the task of collecting them so many years ago and unlike you, I passed the final judgement." She said defiantly. She instantly knew that she had struck a nerve with Syaoran.
"Hand over to the cards," he shouted and he lunged at her, making careful not to fall off his air cloud. Sakura backed up away form him so he couldn't touch her.
Kerberos stretched out his tounge lasily and prepared to send a fire ball at syaoran when Sakura held up her hand, singling him to stop. Kero growled in annoyance and looked at her.
"Why won't you let me attack him?" he asked, questioning his master's judgment. Sakura had no answer to that. She didn't know why, all she knew that she didn't want to hurt him. Syaoran dove again at her and he this time connected, sending all the cards flying out of her hand spiraling to the ground. "Nooooo," shouted Sakura. Yue and all the others were preoccupied with hurting the clan. She prayed to the fates that the cards wouldn't fall into Syaoran's outstretched hands, who was waiting on the ground. Ray heard the plea form within her mind and was being shot by looks from Eriol. She concerted all her psychic abilities on the cards. She transported 2 of the cards from the falling stack into her hand and made sure no one was watching. Everyone was too busy to notice her. She pulled from behind her back the cards she had grabbed and hit the time card with her staff, which she had thoughtfully kept in her boxer's pocket. Everything went black and white and all was silent. She pulled the second card from her back and hit it again with her staff, willing the sprit within to emerge. Out came a girl around the same age as Ray with long white hair and gray eyes. In her hand , she held a small round mirror.
"Mirror, I need to ask of a favor. Can you project my image and tell Sakura that you're me," Ray asked.
Mirror nodded her thin face and closed her eyes, becoming a copy of Ray. She blushed seeing how little was worn and Ray jumped up on the part of the roof that was above them and unfroze time. All the color rushed back into the picture and Sakura looked at the cards, mouth open. Mirror kept silent, fearing for her fellow cards. Out of the blue jumped down a white and black majestic looking tiger with 2 gold tipped wings on it's back. It dove off the roof and landed several feet in front of Syaoran. The dimond marking on its forehead glowed and the cards gathered in a stack in front of its eyes. The tiger snorted through its nose, making a wind gust and the cards flew up to Sakura, falling into her outstretched hands.
"Who are you?" she asked, looking below at the tiger in shocked amazement.
"Who am I? Only the most powerful creature in the world," it boasted.
Sakura tilt her head her head," You're sure cocky," she remarked.
The tiger was going to say something when Syaoran got in the way, blocking her view of Sakura." How dare you you do that with the cards. Do you know who you're messing with? The almightly Li clan," he shouted at Ray.
Ray raised one of the tiger's eyebrows in amusement." Almighty," she said snorting as she uncontrollably laughed. " That's a good one."
Syaoran was starting to lose his temper." Why are you here?"
"To prevent you from getting the cards, what else," she said sugary sweet. She moved so she was blocking him with getting on the roof.
"Move out of the way," he growled.
"And what if I don't." she taunted.
Syaoran took his sword out of it's cover and swung the blade in a forward chop, barely missing the tiger's head.
Ray dodged the blows he swung at her and looked around the crowd of the Li clan. She had to know something before she attacked him. She found Brad's face in the sea of people and saw a happy, almost blissful grin on his face. Everything was going to plan for him. Ray heard the thoguht in his head and realized that this was a set up. He knew that she would come and want to fight Syaoran to the death. Then he could kill her, get the cards and come leader of the clan. She roared in annoyance and it sent syaoran flying from a gust of wind had been created from her roar.
Syaoran lay on his butt, his pride bruised.
"Listen to me Syaoran. The cards don't belong to you, and they never will. Sakura is the one and only master of them. Killing her will not stop them from being hers. If you want the cards so much then why don't you just ask nicely for Sakura to make you a replica of them," she suggested in an obnoxious tone.
"Uhhh," he ran his hand through his brown floppy hair," I never thought of that."
Syaoran stood up and walked over to the wall just below the roof Sakura stood on. "Sakura, can you please make a copy of the cards?" he asked nicely.
"Sure," she said and smiled at him. He smiled right back.
"Now that wasn't too hard, was it?" Ray muttered under her breath.
"Meet me at Burger King at 3:00 tomorrow and we'll discuss the details," Sakura said, still worried that he meet kill her, hence the public place.
Ray saw that she wasn't needed and jumped onto the roof and was going to leave when something caught her eye. Brad stood in the background of the crowd, sulking. Ray had guessed his plan right. Syaoran was going to be head of the clan for sure now. He looked up and noticed Ray staring back at him and his eyes narrowed. If he wasn't going to get his way with the clan, then he was going to the do the next best thing. Take Ray a.k.a the tiger down. Kaho wanted to see her dead and so did he. She had caused enough trouble for them all. He rushed forward towards the roof and jumped onto the lowest one, a fire curse in his hand, ready to throw. Ray looked at him and concerted on her ability to create storms. A bolt of lightning fell from the sky, striking Brad who was in mid-air and he fell over 9 feet to the ground. A thin river of blood appeared in the snow, dying the snow red. Brad had a gaping wound on his head that had knocked him unconscious.
"Ummm..can you get out of here?" asked Eriol, wanting his home back. Night was falling and he was sleepy.
"Sure," and Syoaran and another guy picked up Brad and they walked out of the fence and into the vans that were parked down the street. Ray leapt into the air and hid behind a cloud as Sakura tried to find where she went. She made herself invisible then transported herself beside mirror. She sealed mirror and then turned visible. Sakura was too busy to notice her suddenly appearing. They all hustled inside, for the first time noticing the cold. Eriol made them all leave for he wanted to go to asleep. Ray was about to leave when Eriol placed his hand on Ray's shoulder. She shivered under its warmth. She could get used to this.
"Stay," he whispered into her ear commandingly and Ray spun around, surprised. She rubbed her ear which itched form the warmth of his breath.
"Nice job today. You were perfect. I couldn't do it any better." He said softly.
Ray smiled, it was rarely ever that he praised her. She looked up at him expectantly. Maybe he would finally confess h is feelings for her!!! Nah, shouldn't think those things. He'll only love you as a friend and nothing else, she dismally thought to herself.
"Anything else," she said, praying that he would say those magical three words.
"Nothing else, you can go."
Ray waited till outside to scream impatiently and Eriol grinned and started laughing. HE knew what she wanted to hear, his praises. But he didn't know how wrong he was.
Sakura walked into a crowded Burger King late like always. She had to convince Kero not to sneak in her bag to protect her and also perks that went along with going to a fast food restaurant. She found Syaoran sitting in a booth, bumping his feet against the floor impatiently.
"You're late," he remarked as she sat down.
"Sorry, Kero wanted to come along and I had to convince him not to."
"Oh, so when are you doing to do the cards," he asked as a waitress set down their trays.
Sakura grabbed her burger and took a bite of it. Nice and juicy." I was thinking about doing it slowly like two or three a day so that I don't get worn out."
"That makes sense," and he dipped his fries in ketchup.
"So do you get to be the leader of the clan now?"
"Yeah," and he was surprised to find Sakura had moved and was giving him a big hug" I'm so happy for you," she said as she pulled away.
"Sakura, can you help me do something. The tiger you met yesterday, it killed my father. It has to die. Besides I think it wants the cards for itself."
"I agree completely. The tiger was absolutely cruel to that one dude. I'll help you, besides if it wants the cards, it deserves to be killed."
Syaoran flinched at her words and took his first bite of his whopper to calm his nerves.
"I'd like to apologize for what happened all those years ago with me trying to kill you and all." He apologized. It seemed to him that the room had turned cooler.
Sakura stood up, her face a mask of furry," You're sorry," she shouted, and people looked at her in concern but she didn't care
"You put me through a night of hell and you expect me to forgive you. God." she continued.
"Why can't you forgive me?" he asked calmly, seeming non-phased.
"Oh, let' me see … it was only luck that someone, who I have no idea who it was, saved me. You killed a person thinking it was me. And …" she screamed and Syaoran put his hand over her mouth.
"You're making a scene," he hissed.
Sakura threw his hand off her mouth and said," I don't care," and she stormed out, slamming the door behind her.
Syaoran just stared at the door in shock. At least they had agreed on something. The tiger was going down.
Brad lay in his bed, drowning on his sorrow. His plan had gone down the drain. The tiger was too smart, it had figured out his pan before it was too late. He heard a shuffle of steps outside his roonm and he straightened up, groaning form the pain. He had bruised up his back really bad from his fall and he was majority sore. Kaho stood at his door, a tray of eggs and sausage on her hand. She walked over to him and set the tray down on his nightstand.
"How are you feeling?" she asked, concerned about her lover.
"Ok, I'm sorry we didn't get her?"
"It's okay, but what now?"
"Well after this, the tiger is going to go down. It embarrassed me in front of everyone. Umm, a new plan. Let me think.
"What we will do is kill Sakura off before she can make the cards for Syaoran then kill off Syaoran and steal the Sakura cards. The tiger will also be disposed of. How does that sound?"
"Just perfect."
"What's wrong," asked Sakura, walking over to where Nakura stood.
Nakura made a motion with her chin out the window and Sakura gasped. She had known from a dream the previous night that the Li clan would attack today from her mysterious double. She had, thank god, brought all the cards with her, so she wasn't helpless. But she was surprised to find an all-out attack.
