Sakura Golden Wolf's Lobby
Sakura Golden Wolf: Konnichiwa, Minna! It's me again! This time, I believe my guest will be….Uh… Huh…. Well, it… it says Touya Kinomoto? Wait-a- minute!
(Rifles through script.)
Sakura Golden Wolf: This doesn't make sense! I haven't put him in the story yet! What's going on?! This is the first time that the Author stumps herself! Oh, well. Welcome Touya Kinomoto!
Touya: Arigato. It's nice to be here. I understand your confusion. I was pretty confused myself. I knew the Kaiju was in this, put I haven't been put in yet. Why not?
Off Stage: I'M NOT A KAIJU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sakura Golden Wolf: (Sweatdrops) Eh… Um, you might not come in for a while, Touya. Sorry about that. So, what do you think about this fic?
Touya: It's fine. But why are the Kaiju and Gaki together? She'd be better off with a wolf.
Off stage: 'NII-CHAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(Everybody sweatdrops.)
Sakura Golden Wolf: Okay… This is getting strange…. I better get on with it. Here's Chapter 3 of At The Water's Edge! R+R!

Chapter 3:
Sakura's POV:
Turning awkwardly in the soft bed, I dreamt a dream. In it , I was in the dark sky, with the stars shining nearby. In front of me a tall man with black hair and eyes stood. He wore a dark cape and half-glasses. Bowing neatly, I stood up. Smiling, the man raised his hand.
"You don't remember me? That's all right. I'm here to help you, Sakura. Our first meeting is a warning. The Li Kingdom is attacking in two days. Syaoran's going to be with them. Anyway, Sakura, you have magic potential of extreme possibilities."
Cutting off my surprised "Hoe?!" he smiled.
"Yes, it's true. You have more magic than even Yelan Li. I suppose you have heard of a book called Clow?"
With a numb nod, I stuttered,
"H-Hai, I just saw the book in the library."
"Yes, it was created by a man named Clow Reed. It is part of what the war is over."
Wavering, his image faded.
"I must hurry. My time is short. Follow Your heart, and will need this."
Something appeared in my hand. Watching him, I shook my hair.
"How do you know all this? Who are you?"
Smiling, the last of him faded out.
"I am Clow Reed."
Guards' POV:
The girl was in there muttering something. I could only hear snatches of it through the door.
"Reed…book…attack…"
My wars perking, I considered telling the Princess. She had said not to disturb her, so I stayed by the door. Besides, she's only talking in her sleep. For a second I could swear that I had seen a flash come through the door, so I opened it. There was the girl, staring at me from beneath the covers.
"Hai? What is it?"
Frowning, I sniffed the air.
"Something's suspicious about you, girl."
Shutting the door, I resumed my position.
3rd POV:
The dawn brought a harried young man to the courtyard.
"Mother, how can you attack the Daidouji Kingdom? You know they're not prepared."
Angrily, his mother stood up straighter.
"Son, do you even remember what this war is about? No, I suppose you don't. You were only three when it started. The Daidouji's were allies with the Kinomoto's. I suppose you've learned of them? Good. Well, the Kinomoto's stole something that once belonged to us. So when we asked for it back, they refused. Those damn Kinomoto's refused! So we destroyed their kingdom, and killed the royal family, only to learn that they had given the book to the Daidouji's'. Somehow, they have managed to evade us for fifteen years. Well, that ends today. Today we get the Clow back. Then we can search for their Mistress. We attack today, son. Now go! Assemble the troops!"
With that, the man bowed and went off to the troops.
Sakura's POV:
This was it. Today was the day that Clow had said that the Li's were attacking. Hoping for the best, I had put on the simplest dress that Tomoyo- sama had made me. It was a light pink, floor length dress made out of a soft wool. I wore this because I didn't want them to mistake me as someone important. Nervously I stayed in my room for half the day, until I couldn't stand it anymore. Hopefully, they wouldn't attack while I was in the library.
************************************************************************
As soon as I entered the library, I felt a great presence, it was tugging at me, pulling me towards the back of the room. Closing my eyes instinctively, I brought my arm up in front of me and walked toward s the presence. Without opening my eyes I realized that my necklace was glowing. I had found the necklace after I had woken up the other day. I was clenching it in my fist. Anyway, my necklace was glowing, and as I stepped forward, I felt a fuzzy warmth wash over me. Slowly I opened my eyes and realized I was standing in front of a vault. Looking over my shoulder, I was shocked to notice that there was a sparking blue shield stretching from wall to wall, separating my guard and me. My guard was on the other side, using his sword, trying to cut through the shield. Worried about what I was doing, I faced the vault. Closing my eyes again, I placed my right hand over my necklace, when I heard a voice of thousands.
"Mistress…At long last you have found us! You ARE our Mistress…Release us! Destiny unfolds…"
With those two last words, the voice disappeared again. Mistress? What did that mean? Holding my gaze steady with the combination lock, I watched in amazement as it spun right, then left, then right again, and slowly swung open on it's hinges. Instantly the room was engulfed in white light.
Guards' POV:
It was unbelievable! This girl was using magic! The finder had said she had none, and yet, here she was, opening the vault! Pulling my sword out, I tried to beat my way through the shield. Soon I heard her whispering,
"Mistress….Find you…"
Dropping my sword, I took an involuntary step backwards. Mistress?! How could this be? She couldn't! And yet, the strange thing is….she did. The vault opened and a blinding light engulfed her.
Sakura's POV:
I was in the darkness again.
"Clow? What am I doing here?"
Smiling, he raved his arm a little.
"You are about to find my cards, and I want you to take them with my blessing."
Leaning forward, he winked at me.
"Don't let him scare you."
Smiling he vanished again.
************************************************************************
I opened my eyes and blinked. Putting my hand in the vault, I pulled out the book I had seen before.
"Clow!!"
Quickly I snapped open the clasp. It was as if I knew what I was doing. As the clasp fell clear of the cover, a gentle golden light surrounded the book and teased my hair, blowing wisps of it into my face. As the small, stuffed animal-like creature rose and hung suspended in the golden light. A sudden wind had picked up and it carried with it, whispering rustles of voices.
"She has come!….Our Mistress!….Look, Keroberos awakens!….The darkness….not long… soon, it will be soon……"
As the whispers and wind died down, the stuffed animal, which had been sitting asleep in the air, stretched it's arms and gave a yawn. The light faded and the creature opened its eyes.
"Gah!! So soon??!!" As he spoke, let out a "Hoe?!" and jumped back a foot. Shaking his head, the creature circled me and stopped in front of me.
"I suppose you don't know who I am. I am Keroberos, guardian beast of the seal. I protect those who master the cards. Who are you, and where am I?"
He had a cute little voice that squeaked a little.
"Ano… I'm… I'm Sakura. You're in the Daidouji Kingdom."
As I explained my situation to him, I heard a faint clinking sound.
Tomoyo's POV:
I was in my room, putting my hair up, when one of the guards rushed into my room. I instantly recognized him as the one I had assigned to Sakura.
"What is it? What's wrong?"
The guard leaned against the door and breathed hard.
"Princess…..the girl……Clow…..opened…."
Frightened, I got up and shook the man.
"The Clow book?! What happened? Where is it?!"
Breathing better, the man pointed down the hall.
"The girl. She's…..got it….can't get to her…Shield."
Letting go of the poor man, I race to the library. Throwing open the door, I ran to the vault. Stopping short, I gasped. The back of the room was shielded, and there was Sakura, talking to….. Keroberos?!
************************************************************************
I leaned against the nearby table, barely able to stay upright. Her? SHE was the long awaited Mistress of the Clow? We were fighting the Li Kingdom, and THEY were the ones that had the MISTRESS? Just because we had the book, they started a war with us, causing innocent blood to be spilled. But, more important, THEY HAD THE CLOW MISTRESS. As I fought out my inner battle, some of the palace guards poured into the room.
"Princess!! Princess Tomoyo!"
Turning around, I faced the white-faced man.
"What is it NOW?"
Quickly, the man stood up.
"Princess, the castle is under attack, it's the Li Kingdom! They're after the-."
Stopping short, all the men gasped at the two in the back. I shakily waved a hand in their direction.
"Yes, it seems that Sakura-chan is the Mistress. LET NO ONE KNOW." As soon as I said this, I noticed the blue shield disappear.
Help! I need Help! What's Sakura's chant? The one to change the key to the staff? Please help! R+R! Arigato!
Sakura Golden Wolf: Konnichiwa, Minna! It's me again! This time, I believe my guest will be….Uh… Huh…. Well, it… it says Touya Kinomoto? Wait-a- minute!
