A/N - I love getting reviews.  Did you know you're the only people (aside from) teachers who compliment me?  Oh!  When you read this fic, or any of my fics, do you see any strange, usually Chinese or Japanese characters or these square things?  My internet computer is all screwed up, but I need to know if you all see that.  So please, review me and after all the story comments, add whether the fic is all screwed up with the above or if it's normal.  Arigato!

Chapter Six - Tomoyo's First Big Problem

            Tomoyo groggily awoke.  Everything had went dark, and now she was in a maze with Kazu, Sakura, Eriol, and Meiling.  She also saw Chiharu, Rika, Yamazaki, and Naoko.  Dully, she thought, "Where's Syaoran?"   

            Everyone was awake by now, and poor Chiharu looked around.  "Where are we?  What  is this?"  So, Sakura and Eriol tried to explain the confusing mess of magic.

            Now, everybody understood, but it still bothered Tomoyo that Syaoran wasn't here.  Kazu smiled at her reassuringly.  "Don't worry Tomoyo-chan.  We're all safe in here, and I'm sure he's fine out there." 

            "Oh, so you think you're safe?"  A mysterious lilting voice mocked.  It was the Maze.  She was seated upon one of the walls.  "Only one mortal has gotten through my maze, and that's Mistress Li.  I'm not that soft-hearted Maze from the Clow Deck.  I play tough." 

            Tomoyo spoke up. "What do you mean, play tough?" 

            "There are traps in my maze.  Besides, I am ruled by the Moon.  And he's not known for kindness anymore."   Maze smiled serenely.  "Others have died going through my maze."  She stood up.  "Well, I really must be going. Good luck, you foolish mortals."  With that, she vanished. 

            Sakura stood up.  "People have died?  I am not going through this maze!"  The others nodded.  Tomoyo had to admit they were right.  Eriol and Sakura both carried books, and she was a Cardcaptor.  They couldn't afford to die. 

            Suddenly, several graceful figures walked in.  Two were easily recognizable: Ruby Moon and Yue.  But the other two, one dressed in golden, the other in dark blue, were dimly familiar, let unrecognizable.  The figure in golden spoke up.  "Don't you recognize me Sakura?  It is I, Kerberos, the Guardian of the Seal!" 

            The blue figure also spoke.  "And I, Spinel Sun!"  Eriol and Sakura were shocked beyond speech, so they just gaped.  Finally, Spinel, tired of the silence asked, "Well, aren't you going to say anything?" 

            Tomoyo's deep blue eyes glittered so temptingly in the light as she spoke.  "How did you get human forms?  I thought only the Moon Guardians were in a human form…" 

            "We were granted power by our partners.  We were granted false forms from the cards, and using that power, the Moon Guardians were able to shape our true forms once more!" 

            Tomoyo's eyes widened.  "Shouldn't Himewari also have a human form then?"  The second the words had left her mouth, a petite figure appeared upon the walls of the maze.  She had the same chestnut hair as Syaoran, and the same build, but more gracefully shaped.  She was, basically, a female carbon copy as Syaoran. 

            "You called?"  Instead of the humorous ring the words would normally hold, they were as cold as her eyes.  Eyes of the purest golden.  They had no lively light to them anymore.  They were two sheets of ice.  "I am the false form of Himewari, the Sun Guardian of the Moon Cards.  You seem to be having problems.  Should I help the innocent Cardcaptor, brother?"  The word "innocent"  was spoken with utmost hatred. 

            "Now, Hime, why should we be so mean?  But she does have two powerful sorcerers and some 'pretty boy' to help her out…  Let's see if Miss Cardcaptor can get herself out of this one."  The speaker was none other than Syaoran.  His eye were the same golden color as Hime at this point, and they were just as cold. 

            Tomoyo felt her world spin.  Syaoran?  He's the Moon Guardian?  What…  Why didn't he tell me?  As if reading her thoughts, Syaoran said coldly, "Why didn't I tell you?  Tomoyo wants to know why her friend didn't tell her?  Oh, I'm so sorry, I can't tell you.  You wouldn't care anyway.  Deal with it on your own!"  She stared into those golden eyes, and a dim thought flew into her head.  You aren't Syaoran.  Syaoran wouldn't do this.  Why are you doing this to me?

            With those words, both teens - Hime and Syaoran - vanished, and a thick fog rolled in.  All the while, the same word replayed in Tomoyo's mind.  Why?       

A/N - Sorry for not updating.  Please, please review me!  I'm aiming for at least a total of thirty reviews by the time chapter eight comes out!!
