Card Captor Sakura
Mission to Capture The Moon Cards
Part 8
By: Kat Lee
She opened her only to find herself somewhere in a forest like place. She looked around. She has never been able to see a place full of luscious greenery. She looked above to see the blue sky and a bright shining sun. Tears began to form in her eyes. She felt so happy and warm here, but in her home, it was never like this for years. Since she has defeated her worst enemy, or banished him from her world, she can finally experience that peaceful world.
"Are you ok, Usagi?" called a voice.
She turned her head, as strands of brown hair flew around. She smiled at her friends. Her four guardians, or former guardians of her deceased parents looked at her worriedly. "Yeah, but where are we?" she asks.
The woman guardian looked around, "From what my mind is telling me, we are in Hong Kong, China."
"My Father's home town…" she whispered.
Keroberus looks around, "Do you think we ended in the Li Residents?"
"Yes, so we better move fast." Said Yue.
Too late, someone was coming.
"I really did saw something fall here!" yelled a female voice from afar.
"Oh c'mon Meiling! There is nothing in the middle of a FOREST!" yelled a male voice.
"Please, let's just look around, Xu." Said the girl, now know as Meiling.
"*Sigh* Ok." Said the boy, Xu.
Usagi looked around worriedly. She was about to move out of sight when Meiling and Xu appeared. "Uh-oh!"
"Hey, who are you!?" yelled out Meiling pointing at the small group. She saw Keroberus and Yue, "It's the stuffed animal and the quite guardian!"
"Hey! I'm not a STUFFED ANIMAL!" roared Keroberus.
'Am I that quite?' Yue asked himself.
Meiling rolled her eyes, "Whatever." She turned to the girl. She studied every bit of her features. 'Huh? She looks soooooooooooooo much like Syaoran and Sakura put together.' She thought.
"Um, can I speak to Ieran Li, Please?" Usagi looks at Meiling.
Meiling looks at her and shakes her head, "Oh, ok. Please follow me." And the big group walks to the Palace of the Li resident.
All could Meiling do was wait outside of the room where her aunt stayed in with that mystery girl she just met with. Xu walked up to her, "Why are you just staying there? Are you spying?" he asks.
Meiling blushes, "No! And quiet down will ya!"
Xu rolls his eyes, "Whatever. By the way, that girl could be said to be the Twin of Syaoran."
"Well, she does look a little like him. But, she also looks at little like…" she trailed off.
Ieran smiles, "Hm. I understand. But as you can see, Syaoran isn't here. He is at Tomoeda, Japan."
"Yeah, I know. He is trying to capture the Moon Cards." Usagi nodded at her.
Ieran smiles some more. "Well, it's nice to know that I have a beautiful granddaughter. Come a little closer as I take a good look at you."
Usagi was a little scared; she didn't know what to do. She stood up and slowly walked over to her 'grandmother'. "Um…"
Ieran put her hands on both sides of her face. Her eyes looked around her features. "Your eyes say you are like both your mother and father. Two great sorcerers, with a powerful daughter."
Usagi couldn't help but smile upon her. She has never in her life met her grandmother. She lives with her grandfather in Japan with her uncle.
"Listen, I know of your situation." She pauses in silence, "I see that someone knows of your little secret. Come forth my great niece." She looks out the door.
"Um…" A pair of red eyes looks in the room. She sees Usagi standing in front of Ieran who is smiling. "I apologize for listening."
Usagi was surprised, "No it's ok. I may need your help, and sooner or later someone will find out."
Meiling moves a little closer to them, "Um… Forgive me for asking, but… is it all true about everything?"
Usagi nodded. Ieran patted a spot for her to sit next to her. Usagi sat down, and Meiling sat down in front listening. "Not too long from now, an enemy of Clow Reed and Ryouka Lunar will awaken, but an immortal with dark powers, is the key to awaken the sleeping enemy that the two powerful sorcerers sealed. When the day my cousin was born, Tseng, a monstrous beast created by the powers of darkness, will awaken, and take away my cousin. He has been in control of its powers. Sadly to say, in the final battle, he sacrificed himself and perished." Usagi felt tears built up in her eyes. She shook her head and held it back. Ieran placed a hand on her shoulder. Usagi smiled, "Tseng in my time isn't destroyed, but a sleep. I sealed it back in its shell and it was sent back into to time."
Meiling's eyes widened, "You mean into this time? Is that why you are here?"
"Yes. I mean to destroy both past and future Tseng." Usagi replied.
Meiling looked at the floor, "Is it really that terrible in your time?"
"I haven't seen the light of day for all my years." Usagi frowned and looked out the open window. The sun's rays peeked into the opening, and the smell of nature flushed in.
Ieran looked at Usagi. She couldn't help but smile at her and feel joy. 'She turns out to be a strong and wonderful person. I'm already proud of my Syaoran.'
"Who's your cousin?" asked Meiling with curiosity.
Usagi looks at her, "His name is Mamoru Hiiragizawa."
"Who? Eriol's son?" yelled out Meiling.
She nodded her head, "And Tomoyo's."
"Tomoyo!" shouted Meiling.
Kero rubs his ears from the yelling and screeching. 'Gosh, she never changed.'
Usagi giggled. Ieran looks at her niece, "Meiling, why don't you go to Japan with Usagi. She may need you there and to help her keep the secrete from the other's about her identity."
"Yes, Auntie Ieran." She bows at her. "Let's rest here, and go out tomorrow." Meiling suggested.
Usagi smiled, "Yes. I would want to go out, and look around for a while. I don't remember Hong Kong like this before. Can you come with me?" she asks her future aunt.
"Sure." Meiling grins widely. She puts an arm around her shoulder, "C'mon, we are heading to the mall!"
Usagi smiles at her and walks out with her. "Hey! What about us!?" cried out Diamond.
Usagi turns around. She almost forgot about them. Crystal smirks as she read her mind. "Yue and Crystal can change to their false forms and come with me for now, but when we get to Japan they have to be kept in my crystal for now with you two little guardians."
"Aw…" moaned Keroberus.
Usagi held to her crystal hanging around her neck. It glowed in a light bluish-green aura. Diamond and Keroberus turned into their false forms and then got sucked into the crystal. "Sorry guys." Whispered Usagi.
Yue and Crystal turned into their false forms. Their wings disappeared and their features changed, except for a few looks here and there. Now the little group walked out and headed to go site seeing. For the first time of Usagi's life, she was happy and free.
Syaoran woke up in a sweat. Beads of water dropped down from his face. She got out of his bed, and wobbled to the window. He needed air, so her opened the window. The soft night breeze blew in and played with Syaoran. He breathed in the cool air. He looked out and frowned about his dream. 'Is it really coming? Is this threat really that bad?' he asked himself.
He combed his hand through his hair. Locks of his chestnut hair fell back in place. What he saw in his dream was the past of Ryouka and Clow's battle with Tseng. Then it changed to the future of some sort. He only saw bits and pieces of that dream. The world was half dying and the race of mankind almost erased. The sight of the world made him feel disgusted and make his want to vomit. He shook his head for he doesn't want to remember that part. He looked back to see his little guardian still asleep without a sound. 'Dia said that I almost caught all the cards. I just need 5 more or so. Then soon I will face the final judgment. If I don't prevail I might not remember all that has happened since I have begun this task to capture the Moon Cards.' He was thinking negatively about him self.
'I need to go back to sleep, but why am I shaking?' he looks down at his hands. He walked back to his bed. He couldn't sleep, but he forced himself back to sleep.
"Good Morning Yukito!"
The cheerful man turned his head away from his book. "Oh, good morning Touya!" greeted Yukito.
"What are you reading?" his best friend asked as he sits down next to him.
Yukito looks at the title, "The Whisper of the Wind. It's about a boy whose mother dies and he never knew his father. He had his little sister to take care of, but he didn't know how. Some how he could hear voices in the wind guiding him. He said it was his mother speaking to him, but the people said it was an effect on him from a rare disease he caught that he doesn't know of. When the time came when he is about to die, his sister finally seems to hear voices too. Then… I'm not finish yet." He smiles at him.
Touya smiled, "It seems very interesting. Is it for your book report?"
Yukito nods. "Well, let's head to the class room before we become late."
They both grab their things and started to head to the school building. Then Yukito stopped. He turned around and looked for something. He felt a familiar presence. "What's wrong?" Touya asks.
Yukito quickly turned his head, "Huh? Oh, nothing. It's nothing really."
"Ok." Touya turned his heels and started walking. Yukito looked behind but saw nothing but the wind blowing through the spring trees. He shook his head and quickly caught up with his friend.
"Class, I would like to introduce a new student." Announce the teacher. "Please come in and introduce your self."
A girl, a little younger then Yukito and Touya, entered the room. She had short raven hair up to her shoulders and mysterious violet eyes. She was wearing the girl's uniform. She bowed down in front of the class, "I am Christy Lunar. It is a pleasure to meet all of you."
Yukito's head popped up in surprise. 'It can't be…can it?' said Yue in Yukito's mind. 'I can feel her aura. It's familiar. Who do you think she is?' Yukito asked his true form. 'I'm not sure…' Yue answered.
"Ms. Lunar, you can sit next to Yukito Tsukishiro." Told the teacher.
Yukito stood up and Christy walked towards her desk. They both sat down at the same time, and she smiled at Yukito. All of a sudden he felt him face turning red. 'Some how, I know I met her.' Yue whispered. Yukito couldn't help but keep his eyes off of her. He blushed at his actions.
Sakura ran into class with Tomoyo and Syaoran. "Hurry, I heard from Takashi that new students are coming. I want to meet them!" said Sakura in her usual cheery self.
She grabbed Syaoran and Tomoyo's hand and pulled them in the classroom, "Slow down girl!" said Tomoyo.
"You are going to pull off my arm!" said Syaoran.
They made it into the classroom and stopped next to the door. "Sorry guys. I'm just excited!" squealed Sakura.
"You're always excited about stuff." Muttered Syaoran.
Sakura narrowed her eyes and moved close to Syaoran, "What was that?"
Syaoran sweat dropped and waved his hands, "Nothing, let's just go sit down."
Sakura winked and smiled her happy way, "Ok!"
Tomoyo giggled and Syaoran sighed. They all sat down into their usual places. Syaoran sat behind Sakura, and Tomoyo next to her. Sakura sat close to the window. More students entered the room, and soon the Teacher came in. "Good morning class."
"Good Morning." Sang the students in unison.
He smiled at them all, "I'm happy to say that we have two new students. You can come in girls, and introduce yourselves."
As in cue, two girls in uniform came in through the door. One girl had black hair and red eyes. Her hair was in pigtails, like she always had them. The other had chestnut brown hair and Umber eyes. Her hair was in pigtails too but with long blue ribbons.
Sakura couldn't believe whom she is seeing. She smiled with more excitement.
The girl with black hair spoke first, "Hi! I'm Meiling Li."
The other girl slightly bowed, "Good Morning. My name is Usagi Li."
Syaoran was happy to see Meiling and surprised, but he narrowed his eyes at Usagi.
"Please sit down were there is open desks. There are some in the back." The teacher instructed. The girls walked behind the class. Meiling sat next to Tomoyo, as Usagi found a spot next to Syaoran. "Now let us study History of World War II." Announced the teacher.
Groans and moans were heard through out the whole room. "Oh come on. It's not that bad." He took out many books about World War II. "It's very easy!"
Meiling sweat dropped, "Is he trying to humor us?" she asked Tomoyo.
"Don't worry, he has been acting like this since the start of school." Replied Tomoyo while giggling.
Mostly half the class fell asleep and failed to hear that there was a test on Friday.
"Why didn't you tell me you were coming here, Meiling?" asked Syaoran.
Meiling turned her head away from Usagi, "I wanted to surprise you! Usagi wanted to visit Japan, so I figured, why not Tomoeda? I knew you were here and Usagi wanted to visit her… cousin." She almost spilled out the part of Syaoran being Usagi's father. She blushed for her mistake.
Usagi smiled. "I don't remember seeing her." Syaoran narrowed his eyes.
"Well, my mother and father decided to move to America, so we lived there for almost all my life." She lied, "We are in vacation. My parents wanted to stay in Hong Kong, and I wanted to come here. Meiling agreed to come with me."
Sakura put a finger on her lower chin, "Um… If you are a Li, why is it that your name is Japanese?" she couldn't help but ask.
"My mother is Japanese and my father in a Li." She didn't lie on that one. Usagi smiled for her smart answers.
Sakura smiled, "Wow. That's cool."
"Meiling, Li is the master of the Moon Cards. He has almost captured them all." Tomoyo told her to make her follow up on what is happening.
Meiling turns her head, "Really? That's great! The Li clan would certainly be pleased."
"Have you heard of Clow Reed and the cards?" Sakura asked Usagi.
"Of course. All of the Li clan knows of Clow and Magic." Said Meiling sticking up for her.
Sakura slapped her head, "Oh, that right."
The little group was outside in the park sitting down on the benches. Syaoran just stayed standing in front with Usagi, facing the girls. It was after school, so they decided to have a talk.
"Well, I'm here to help out! And I have become stronger than before." Meiling warned her cousin, Syaoran.
Syaoran nodded at her, "That's nice, but I have more powers that what the Elders have thought." He pointed a finger into the sky.
"Hey! Do you and Tomoyo want to eat dinner at our apartment?" Meiling asked Sakura. "Syaoran is cooking."
Sakura looks at the smiling Tomoyo. She nodded at Sakura, "Ok. I'll just tell my brother when we get there."
Meiling grabbed Sakura's hands and jumped up and down, "This is great. Now you can tell me how it has been going with you and Syaoran!" she cheered out.
Both Syaoran and Sakura sweat dropped anime style. Usagi and Tomoyo giggles. 'Wow! I never knew that they have acted like this.' Usagi laughed in her mind.
'Well, that's how they normally act.' Said Kero telepathically from the green stone.
The group then walked to the apartment, since it was getting late and the sun was setting down to the horizons.
Sakura and the other's left Usagi alone in the apartment. They said they had some business to do, and Usagi didn't mind. She made an excuse that she had to finish her homework, which was already done by then. "I'm going to them." Said Usagi.
"But how are you not going to let them see you?" asked future Dia in her false form.
Usagi went into her bag and took out a blue mask. "With this silly." She answered her guardian.
"But wouldn't they tell that it's you?" asked future Kero in his false form.
Usagi was changed into her exotic costume that Future Tomoyo made for her. "Well, my mother couldn't tell it was me when she saw me."
Dia shook her head, "She's too dense to see through everything. She couldn't even see how Syaoran was giving her all those blushie looks."
"She not that dumb, ok!" Kero defended his mistress.
Usagi smiled, "Hey, it's ok. I'm going now." She was about to go out the window, but the two little guardians stopped her.
"You need someone to stay close to you. You can't go by yourself. You might reveal us. So we need someone to protect you and keep you from telling them about us." Said Dia.
"Yeah, Yue and Crystal can go." Suggested Kero.
Yue and Crystal were in the corners of the room she was staying in. Usagi turned to the silent moon guardians. "Um… Ok. Fine, but they have to stay out of sight."
The two moon guardians nodded. Usagi stepped out of the window, spread her wings and flied through the night. The other two followed and stayed behind. They flew very high in the dark sky, so people below wouldn't spot them. Usagi looked below her, watching the streetlights pass by. Her eyes sparkle with the lights reflecting.
"She's so happy here." Crystal whispered to Yue.
"It's because she has never seen the moon, sun or the lights of night. Imagine living like that since the day you were born. Before she was ever born, we had experience things that she has never had. It's her chance to live like her parents did before they passed away." Yue replied to her.
Crystal brushed some strands of hair from her face. She watched how Usagi smiles so freely and feel the fresh air blow against her. "She's safe here. When we get back home, do you think she would be the same as now?" she turned her head to Yue.
"Maybe. She can make her own happiness, with us by her side. Remember, our home is free from the evils of Tseng." Yue watched Usagi.
"But, it's not safe if Tseng of our time is still alive." Crystal turned her head to the ground below. She frowned.
Yue raised her head with his hand. Her eyes met up with his icy ones. "Don't worry. We can do this together. Protect her and save the world."
Crystal nodded and together they flew to the direction where Sakura and Syaoran were battling. They made it to the school, and from afar they could see blasts of magic and someone with great agility moving from here to there.
"Hiya!" Meiling tried to kick the card away, but it sank back into an invincible portal. "Where'd he go!?" she yelled in surprise.
Then out of nowhere, the card appeared again and grabbed Meiling from behind. "Ah!" The card put a hand around her waist and arms and on her mouth.
"Meiling!" yelled Sakura trying to get her back. But the card sank back into this portal.
Syaoran growled. "This card is too fast, and he keeps on going through these portals."
"That's why it is called the Gate Card. It can go through portals, sending you or anyone into different dimensions, through walls, or back into time of to the future." Said Dia.
The card appeared, but Meiling was nowhere in sight. "Ah! Where is she?" cried out Sakura.
The card had an evil grin. It was a tall and thin man. It was dressed in different shades of red tight fitting clothes, like in a circus but with weird Ryouka designs. On its head, it wore a red shade jester like hat. His eyes were maroon. "Catch me, catch me if you can."
The card sank back with a wicked grin. Sakura ran towards the card and disappeared just as the card did. "No, Sakura!" yelled out Syaoran. He ran to where the card and Sakura disappeared. He waved his hand around in the air, "Where did they go?" he gritted through his teeth.
"Hiya!" yelled a voice from somewhere.
Then suddenly out popped the card but disappeared again. Then Sakura and Meiling appeared, running to the direction the card went through and disappeared. Syaoran didn't know what to do, all he did was watch them go here and there. "What am I suppose to do?" he asked himself.
"Use one of the cards to blast him out from where he disappeared, or would you rather go in with the card like Meiling and Sakura did?" asked a voice.
Syaoran looked around. He didn't see anyone but Tomoyo and Dia standing/floating together. Tomoyo looked at him gesturing that she didn't say anything, so did Dia.
Then Meiling popped out of nowhere and fell to the floor face first. Sakura followed after and fell on top of her. Sakura quickly got up and apologized to her. "Sorry."
"No. It's ok." Meiling breathed out.
Syaoran ran up to them, are you guys all ok? Where did you guys go?" asked Syaoran.
"Yes, we are ok." Replied Sakura hugging Syaoran. He blushed in different shades in front of Meiling.
Meiling smiled, "I don't know, but we were in this sort of place were all these portals were." Meiling answered the last question.
"That is the gate of dimensions. That is the place where you would go through before you go to any other place." Dia flew over to the group and explain to them with Tomoyo behind with her camera.
Syaoran put a hand on his chin, "I think I have a plan, but I don't think it would work 100%."
"Well, shoot." Said Meiling with one step in front of her.
Syaoran looks around, but there was no sign of the card yet. "Ok, here's how it goes." They gather closer. "We have to go in that dimension of gates and fight him there. He normally keeps on entering there, so we go in with him. I'm thinking, the reason why he goes through there is because he might be stronger when in there. So we will try to blast him out and fight out here."
Sakura looks at Dia and Tomoyo, "You two have to go to safe distance, and this might become rough."
The two nodded. "Good luck guys." Dia flew away.
"Be careful." Waved Tomoyo. "And believe in your powers Syaoran." She whispered in an older singing voice.
Syaoran looks at Tomoyo and watches her run away. He frowns. "Syaoran." Meiling calls his attention.
"Huh? Oh, yeah let's do it!" They spread around the area. "Gate Card, come out or are you scared?" teased Syaoran while yelling to nothing.
Usagi kept of watching in he shadows. 'What can I do to help?' she asked herself.
"This is his own task, Usagi. He needs to level up his powers by doing this on his own with a little help. You are stronger than him because you have two decks of cards." Crystal stated in her low tone.
Usagi bit her lip. 'It's not fair she can read my mind.' She pouted.
Crystal smirked.
Tomoyo felt as she heard something. She looked up at the tree area. Her Artic blue eyes became soft with an empty look. Then a shine of green passed by her eyes.
"What's wrong Tomoyo?" asked a voice.
She turned her attention to the floating little kitten, "Nothing Dia. I thought I saw something in the trees. Must be a squirrel." She shot out one of her cute smiles.
Dia couldn't help but smile back, "Ok." Then the two turned their attentions back into the battle.
'Seems like the little bunny has come to watch her parents in action.' Said a feminine older voice in Tomoyo's head. 'I did feel her presences close by.' She replied to the voice.
The card came out and shot an arc of red energy. Meiling did a back flip and dodged the power. Sakura came from behind and blasted her Watery card at him. It got his from behind and sank in and disappeared. "Go!" the two heard Syaoran yell. Meiling ran with all her speed after the card. Just as the hand of the card disappeared, Meiling went in after it. Sakura looked around to wait. Then suddenly it came out and tripped and landed on his back. Meiling's head was sticking out and she stuck out her tongue. Sakura saw this and ran to the two. The card jumped off the floor and went after Meiling through the portal. Sakura went in after, but Syaoran missed. An arm stuck out from the portal, and it was Sakura's. Syaoran saw this and took the hand and he went in.
When he went through, the place looked, as it had no floor. He felt dizzy, but the girls got use to it. There where millions of open portals all around. Syaoran was guessing this was the gate of dimensions for the school. The card was right there in the middle smirking. "Welcome to my adobe. I am the keeper of all dimensions." He spoke. He pointed to Syaoran, "You may be my master, but to me you are just a weak human."
Syaoran felt like the card was right. "Don't listen to him." Shouted Meiling.
Syaoran regained his consciousness and gripped on to his sword. He nodded. 'She's right… I guess.'
"Let's work together!" Sakura lifted her staff and summoned her fly card. Pink wings grew from her back and she took flight. Meiling went in her fighting stance and Syaoran swung his sword into his stance. The card stepped back then hurled towards them a big beam of red energy. The whole place was covered with the blinding red light. No one knew where they were going.
An explosion could be heard. Then suddenly tiny beams of light broke through. Sakura came out ended up into the night sky. She looked below her and saw the school with red energy coming out of the portals. Meiling tumbled to the ground out of another portal. Syaoran got dragged but stood his ground. He pulled his sword in front of him and ran back in before it closed. Meiling and Sakura followed.
The card was laughing, "You can beat me!" he laughed eerily.
"Angel Card, Release!" Sakura summoned one of her powerful cards. A beautiful angelic woman appeared. Her light surrounded her. She spread her wings and held tightly her bow. She saw the card below. "Dose he cause destruction?" the angel spoke out.
"Whoa…" Meiling said in awe.
Sakura didn't hold back her anger, "Go and get him!"
The angel went into a stance. She held her bow; pulled back the string and an arrow appeared. She aimed it at the card and released the powerful attack. It went through the card as it gasped out in pain. Syaoran was about to go and chant his spell to capture it, but he ran into a portal the card put up.
"Huh?" he looked around. He saw Dia and Tomoyo waving at him from the bushes. Syaoran sweat dropped. "How am I going to get back?" he asked himself.
Suddenly a portal appeared beneath him. "What the…" He sank in and disappeared.
He fell back into the place where the card was, and fell on top of him. Syaoran put a hand on his head and looked up. "Who…?" He knew the energy he felt to go through wasn't the one he normally felt. It was someone else but with a tint of his aura.
The card pushed away Syaoran off him. He was enraged. He moved his hand from the wound and looked at the blood dripping from his crimson covered hand. He growled and looked at the empty looking angel. She didn't show any emotion towards the card. The card pulled back his arm then hurled towards many blasts of red arches of energy.
The angel saw the energy heading in all directions and even at Sakura her mistress. It was all too quick. Sakura gasped. Angel was hit and soon was turning into pieces of white sparkles of light. Sakura felt tears wailing up in her eyes. Then she hurriedly turns back Angel into a card. She held the card into view. She can see a hole through her pink card. Sakura shook her head and fell on her knees. All of a sudden she shook uncontrollably.
Meiling ran to her for comfort. She put her hands on her shoulders to calm her down. "Sakura…" She whispered.
Sakura closed her eyes as the tears flew into the air. Then she remembered what Moonlight has said to her, 'All you need to do is use your star…' 'My star…' She opened up her eyes and raised her staff. There, a star rested. "My star…"
Meiling looked at her with a confuse look.
"I… need to call upon my other cards. They can…help me protect the ones I love." She said in sadness. She stood up holding her staff. "I… don't want to loose any one…" she whispered.
She raised her staff. "I'm not going to loose anyone!" she shouted out. Suddenly her aura shined brightly and grew widely. Her star was spinning from the staff and the wings grew wider. "Oh hear my prayer and help me save the ones whom I care. Oh my star shine so bright, lead thy great powers to my light. Warrior and Moon hear my plea, come please help and be with me!" she chanted.
The place felt as the time froze. No one was moving but Sakura could hear herself breathing. Two lights appeared and formed into two pink Star Cards. With out hesitation, Sakura took those cards. Then everything turned back to how it was. Meiling was surprised to see this all. It was to her, breath taking.
Syaoran saw the light. He sat up but something was pulling him back. He felt a strong sting of pain on his side. He put his hand into the wet warm spot. He lifted his hand and saw the stain of blood. He bit his lip to hold back the pain. He stood up and saw that the card was hurt there too. 'Dia said that but the master and card are linked together.' He can her hear himself breath hoarsely. He looked at Sakura surrounded in her own aura. It was bigger then before. "Sakura…" he whispered.
The card saw Syaoran distracted. He narrowed his eyes and smirked.
Syaoran didn't know what was going on around him, but Sakura. Suddenly he felt cold fingers encircle his small throat. Then it squeezed tightly that he couldn't breathe. Syaoran choked out and tried to breath for air. He moved his arms to the hand that is choking him to let air in.
Meiling and Sakura saw the Gate card caught Syaoran from his throat. "Syaoran!" cried out Meiling.
Sakura felt as her world was spinning. "Syaoran…" She whispered. She gripped on her staff tightly and threw up one of her new card into the air.
"I wonder if everything is alright." Tomoyo was worried. Her camera was off when they disappeared again.
Dia looked up at the moon. "I feel as he is in danger. He needs help, but I can't do anything in this form." She felt guilty. What kind of guardian would she be if she wasn't there protecting him.
Tomoyo looked at her sadly and felt her pain. "Oh Diamond. Don't worry. All you have to do is believe in him. He is very strong, and you are too. All of you are all linked together.' Said the voice. 'Will they make it out safely, Ryouka?' Tomoyo asked in her mind. 'You do believe in them don't you?' Ryouka asked. 'Of coarse!' she chorused in her answer while nodding.
"Warrior, save Syaoran!" cried out Sakura.
The Warrior nodded and a sword appeared into his hand. The card is a male with golden armor never been seen. It wasn't like the ones like the old times, but it was like a fairy kind. In the middle was the sign of Sakura's, like on the back of her Star Card. He had big white wings, bigger then Angel's.
Sakura blushed a light pink color. He's beauty got to both Meiling and her. 'Warrior has the power of Fight, Power, Sword and Fire.' Sakura turned to look for that voice that spoke to her.
"What?" asked Meiling noticing her.
Sakura shook her. She turned to look at the battle.
Warrior struck Gates arm, but he dodged and used Syaoran as a shield. Warrior growled. Then Gate suddenly stopped. He felt, as he couldn't breath as the world started spinning. Syaoran couldn't keep his eyes open. He was going to pass out; he needed air. He forced himself to keep open his eyes. He already surrendered from struggling.
"You are linked to your master. He is about to die because of you. And now you are slowly loosing air." Sakura pointed out.
Gate looked at her then at Syaoran. He glared at him. Then he let go of Syaoran and let him fall to the ground. He gasped in for air and his breathing came in rapidly. Sakura and Meiling ran to Syaoran and held him.
"Syaoran. Syaoran, answer me." Sakura's voice was a little shaky.
He coughed and looked into the eyes of the one he loves. "Sakura…" he whispered.
The gate had a bad look. Warrior's sword went in front of him. "He is your master. Are you going to join him?" Warrior spoke.
Gate looked at Syaoran. He has caught all those cards and almost collected them all. If he weren't as strong as he is now, then he would have died because of all the energy each card takes from its master. In order for a card to live, they share the energy and powers of their master. He doubted Syaoran, but after realizing those entire cards he has in his possession and his struggle to collect them all, He is willing to join him. 'I know he may not be Ryouka, but he has the powers in him, because she lives on within him. Ryouka trusted in him to have her cards. So will I trust in him like I do with Ryouka.' Warrior put away his sword and watched Gate walk to his rightful owner.
Syaoran sat up and saw the card kneel next to him. "I truly see why Ryouka choose you as the master. At first I didn't trust the idea of her picking a master instead of us choosing. But now I see that you are truly the right master. Ryouka chose you because you are not only the descendent of Both Clow and Ryouka; you have the jade destiny with in you like Ryouka. She knew you were going to be born with it and have strong powers surpassing both sorcerers. I entrust you with my powers and to join you in your hands." He bowed his head.
Sakura and Meiling just stared. Syaoran nodded and weakly smiled. He put out his hand and touched the card's forehead. Red winds surrounded the Card. He smiled at his master. "I may be strong for a status card, but there are 4 stronger cards then any other and can cost you your life or any others." He warned. "Be strong always and take advantage the power of friendship." Then Gate turned back into a card. His picture was there on the green card.
Warrior turned back to a card. Sakura looked at her two new cards. She looked at Syaoran and hugged him tightly. Meiling smiled at the couple. The background was no longer in the dimension of all gates. It was back in the area of the school, in the middle of the field. They all looked around and heard a voice squeal out, "CUTE!!!!!!!!!"
They all sweat drop and turned to Tomoyo. She was moving here and there, capturing every angle of Sakura hugging Syaoran. "Don't move, I want to capture every good angle of you two. And you better start talking on what happened in there. We can talk all night long!" she coursed. The two blushed and Meiling was laughing to herself. "Typical Tomoyo." She sighed out. Dia nodded in agreement beside Meiling.
Usagi giggled to herself. "It's hard to believe that Auntie Tomoyo is still the same but more childish." Usagi said.
"When they grow up, they still have that side of them when they were still little kids." Replied Yue.
The three took flight back to the apartment, before they could get to the apartment. "I'm just worried the Tseng would be awaken before the judgment." Usagi whispered.
Meiling opened a little crack to the dark room. Usagi was sleeping with her window open. It was a calm night this time. Meiling smiled at her, "She grows up to be a pretty little thing." She giggled to herself. "Good Night, Usagi."
Usagi snuggled in her soft and warm bed. She sighed out in happiness. She had never slept so peacefully in her whole life. "Good night Mommy. Good night Daddy." She whispered in her dreams. A soft wind ringed in the room. It gentle brushed her hair from her face. It felt like the presence was smiling at her.
