Sakura Golden Wolf's Lobby
Sakura Golden Wolf: Ohayo! -_-() Um… Today, I kinda couldn't get a guest…. Everybody has been really busy lately, and so, I'll just tell you a little about myself. I got my name, Sakura Golden Wolf, because I combined my two favorite characters names. (Cherry Blossom, Little Wolf) It was either that or Little Blossom. ^__^ I really like my name and I wish my REAL name was more imaginative. *SIGH* I love card captor Sakura, even though I've NEVER seen a Japanese episode. I've only seen about 6 episodes of CC in all. I don't think I would understand it, anyway. I've been contemplating writing a fiction for the longest time. It would be a great help if somebody would review and tell me if I should change the name. -_-() Oh well. Here's chapter 6 of At The Water's Edge.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------
1 Chapter 6
Sakura's POV:
In my sleep that night, I met Clow again. This time though, he was grim.
"Hello, Sakura-chan. I suppose you have found about the cards?"
After my nod, he went on.
"Now that your powers are awakening, an even greater evil has awakened. It is coming for you and you powers. Your friend, the Princess Tomoyo, she will not be going home tomorrow. You are at the beginning of a great adventure, one that will change your very lives. While your magic was asleep, the evil lay dormant, searching patiently and slowly. Now they will strike."
Shaking his head, he began to fade.
"I don't know who or what it is. Ja ne, Sakura, and make sure that you follow your heart. Good luck."
With that, my dream faded and I woke up.
Syaoran's POV:
I was up, taking down a tent when she came out. She was playing with her copper hair, and she had her emerald eyes on the sky. To me, it made no difference that she served us. She was kind and gentle to everyone, never thought of herself, and carried herself like a queen. Rolling up the tent and throwing it in a wagon, I came up behind her and wrapped my arms around her. Leaning against me, she frowned at the sky.
"Syaoran, I'm worried."
Surprised, I squeezed her around the waist.
"Worried about what?
"Syaoran, I saw Clow again last night. He said that the evil is coming for me and that Tomoyo won't be going home today. He said that we were going on a great adventure and to follow my heart."
Surprised, I hugged her.
"Well, I hadn't planned on it, but I could take a detour."
Equally surprised, she looked up at me.
"Really? You would help me? Doesn't it frighten you?"
Shaking my head, I smiled.
"No, it doesn't."
Smiling she hugged me.
"Ashiteru, Syaoran."
Sakura's POV:
After our talk, I had asked Syaoran to help me with something.
"Kero wants to change the cards and staff to show my ownership, and I might need some help."
He had agreed, so he met me in the tent a little later. Kero had just finished placing the cards in front of us, when Syaoran stepped in. Tomoyo- chan was sitting in the back of the tent, watching.
"All right Sakura, transform your wand. Remember the words?"
Nodding, I changed the necklace to the staff.
"All right, good. Now, we're going to change the staff and book to your ownership. Repeat after me."
A soft glow followed and they were changed. I looked at the book first. The book was now pink, and said, Sakura, across the top, instead of Clow. Next I checked out my staff. Instead of the birds' head, It was a circle, and in the circle was a five-pointed star. It was beautiful.
"What does this mean, Kero?"
Raising a paw, he said,
"It means that you draw your power from your star. THAT means that you make your own power. Clow Reed was the only magician that got even CLOSE to THAT. Now think, think of your own words. How would you change the cards?"
Almost instantly, I said,
"I call upon the power of my star,
ancient forces near and far
Clow cards,
transfer all your might,
and draw your power from my light,
Star Cards!"
With that last word, I tapped each card with my staff, until I hit the last. Over joyous, I watched as they transformed. Suddenly, though, I felt like I had no energy left, and fainted.
Syaoran's POV:
I've seen magic done before, lots of times. Yet, I had never seen anything like this. I was starting to wonder why she needed help when she touched the cards with her staff. After the changing chant, the cards started to glow a silver-pink. Rising into the air, they spun around in little circles, passing in front of Sakura before the settled themselves in a stack. Soon after they stacked themselves, Sakura said, "Wow-." And fainted.
"Sakura-chan!"
Rushing forward, I caught her before she hit the floor. Coming forward, Tomoyo-chan helped me lift her onto the bed.
"Kero-chan, what happened?"
Kero flew over and settled himself on Sakura's stomach.
"Since Sakura draws her power from her star, she's basically using her own energy. It would have been wiser to do the cards a few at a time, but we might need to use them soon."
Picking up the cards, I placed them in the book and closed the clasp.
"Sakura, hm? I suppose that means they really belong to her?"
Nodding Kero added,
"Yes, but she'll be out for today at least. She'll be fine, though."
Tomoyo's POV:
Soon after we got Sakura-chan onto the bed, Syaoran-kun decided that I should go home. Pointedly, I refused, arguing.
"Someone's going to have to help take care of Sakura, or did you expect Kero-chan to carry her around? Besides, it's going to start raining."
"Your mother's going to think I kidnapped you."
"Well, you did! But she's not even home, so I'll send a messenger, telling her that I need to take care of Sakura-chan."
Finally, he threw his arms up in defeat.
"Fine Princess, stay. Just don't complain when we don't have a feather bed for you."
Smiling triumphantly, I watched him leave, muttering something about courage, soldiers, and stubborn Princesses.
"I heard that!"
Flinching, he shut the tent flap. Turning to Kero-chan, I asked,
"So, Kero-chan, what do we do until Sakura-chan wakes up?"
Shrugging his little shoulders, he smiled.
"How about food? FOOD! Do you think they have pudding? How about berries? Oh!!!!!!!! Chocolate!"
Shaking my head, I left Kero-chan drooling over the thought of food. Looking outside, I could see it was indeed going to rain. SO I grabbed a hooded cloak and stepped out. Settling back the hood, I scanned the bushes for berries. Going behind the tent, I found some blackberries. Using my handkerchief for a basket, I picked a large amount and tied the ends together. Stepping back in front of the tent, I watched the soldiers trying to take down the tents. Stepping into our tent, I could see that Kero-chan was still drooling.
"Kero!"
Snapping my fingers, I got his attention.
"I got you some berries."
Throwing the berries at him, I saw his beady little eyes brighten.
"FOOD!!!!!! Arigato, Princess!!!"
Stepping in, Syaoran picked Sakura-chan up.
"We need to take down the tent. I've got two horses waiting outside."
"Two?"
Smiling, he nudged open the tent flap.
"You didn't expect Sakura to walk now, did you?"
Syaoran's POV:
It had been two days since Sakura fainted, and she still hadn't woke up. We were nearing our kingdom when we came to a river.
"There's a fallen tree down there, why not use it?"
That was Tomoyo-chan, pointing down the river a ways. Sure enough, there was a tree, a huge one, stretching from bank to bank. Turning my horse, he stepped onto the tree. Turning my head, I told Tomoyo, "Don't let her fall off now."
Referring to Sakura, of course.
Instead, she just led her horse up behind mine.
"Are you crossing, or are you letting the soldiers go home?"
Frowning at her, I moved my horse forward. I had just gotten across when I heard an astonished, "HOE?!!!!!" followed by a splash.
Sakura's POV:
Opening my eyes, all I saw was hair brown flesh, and some blue water. Surprised, I sat up straight and noticed I was on a horse. An irritated horse. Surprised by my sudden movement, the horse stumbled, throwing me into the water. Giving a startled "HOE?!!!!" I fell in. Coming up, I could see the soldiers watching. Kicking my feet, I swam for the shore. I've never swum before, but what was so hard about it? Pulling myself out of the river, I shook my head and squeezed water out of my dress. Looking up, I could see Syaoran was riding over. Blushing, I explained.
"I, er, fell off the horse."
Hopping down from his horse, he took my hand and looked me over.
"Daijobu desu ka?"
"Daijobu desu."
Looking up at the sun, I added, "It's hot out, and I can walk."
Shrugging, he let me. By now, the army had gotten across. Turning to them, he said,
"You may go now. We're at the border, so you may go now."
Cheering, the men took off. Leading the horses over, Tomoyo-chan joined us.
"Are we still going to the castle?"
Nodding, Syaoran jumped on his horse.
"Sure you wan to walk, Sakura?"
"Hai, but I don't think we're going home."
Looking at me strangely, I blushed.
"Nothing, it's nothing. Where are my cards?"
Tomoyo-chan handed me my satchel and Kero-chan popped out.
"About time you; woke up. Got any food?"
Sweatdropping, Tomoyo-chan threw him a handkerchief.
"He's been eating like there's no tomorrow."
"Come on, Mother's expecting us."
Tomoyo explained that she had sent a letter to her mother, explaining thing, and Syaoran had sent HIS mother a letter, explaining everything.
