Chapter 15.
"Sakura, use the Big Card." Eriol commanded. Sakura nodded, and did as she was told.
"Big Card, return us to our original forms!" Sakura cried in her little girl voice, pointing the heavy staff at the Big Card. A great wind surrounded the four little children, and the Big Card began to do its work.
~*~*~*~
Ying-fa stood shaking, when she saw what Sora and Derrick had just done; Or were they Sora and Derrick? Ying-fa was starting to have serious doubts. Poor little Lillian was shaking violently, and holding onto Symian, who was laying on the floor and tending to a wound on his leg. Then, to Ying-fa's surprise, Lilly got up and raised the staff that she was holding. It was pink, with a yellow star inside a circle. Ying-fa looked over at Aya, who had been tending her brother and Lucas, but was now staring at the little girl in shock. In fact, that was the only expression on everyone's face. Shock. Suddenly, the bundle that was Vandor, and the unconscious Duke, disappeared from the room in a pouf of wind.
"Sakura, use the Big Card." Derrick commanded. Lillian nodded and then said something that made Ying-fa almost faint.
"Big Card, return us to our original forms!"
Suddenly, Lillian, Symian, Sora, and Nira disappeared in a gust of white 'wind'. Then the wind filled the whole room, and Ying-fa heard Lilly shout something else. All at once, the wind disappeared, and the four children were gone! Instead, at the head of the room stood ten chairs that resembled thrones. And in those ten chairs, sat ten young people, four of whom Ying- fa knew well, and six others that she did not.
In the very center of the group sat Derrick and Trista, side by side. But they were in strange clothes. Derrick was wearing a dark blue tail-coat over a white shirt, that had the top button undone. His dark blue pants were longer than they were used to…they hid his ankles, and his feet were in some strange black shoes that had little-to-no heal. Trista was beside him wearing a floaty lavender dress, that had several layers to it. The sleeves were flared at the elbow, and ended just above her wrists. The neckline was rounded, and a bit low.
On Derricks other side sat an older young man, about their age, with dark brown hair and brown eyes. He was in attire similar to Derrick's, except his was all black, except for the under-shirt, which was white. There was a girl next to the man in all black, who had black hair that was piled on top of her head, and she wore a dress similar to Trista's, except it was red and it had no flared sleeves. Next to this girl sat Regen, who was in attire just like the other men's, except for his suit was all white, accenting his blonde hair. There was a brown haired girl beside him who wore, of all things, spectacles, and her dress was white with gold brocade, and only had one layer. Her hair was pulled back with a gold ribbon, and she looked stunningly lovely, despite the spectacles.
On Trista's left side, sat a boy with a red tail coat, and white pants with a red stripe up the side. His suit was edged with gold, and it was by far the fanciest of them all. The girl on his left side left all of them in shock for a moment. She wore a floaty, full-skirted pink dress, with alternating layers of pink gauze and light pink silk, making her look as if she were moving on clouds. The sleeves of the dress were short and poofy silk. The dress was edged in red boarder, and she wore a large star-like gold choker. Her wavy, shoulder-length auburn hair was pulled back with a single red ribbon. Tarnor sat on her left, and he was wearing an outfit similar to Derrick's, except he wore a forest green tail-coat and white pants. The girl on his left, though, caused everyone to stare, just as they had at the girl in pink. This girl was just a beautiful, with wavy, waist- length chestnut locks, and kind blue eyes. She was wearing a sky blue dress similar to the girl in pink's, except a thin sleeve of clear gauze came out from the puffy sleeves, and ended at a point at the base of her middle finger. Her hair was pulled into a half ponytail, and then the ponytail was braided into a crown-like design on top of her head, held up with light blue ribbons.
For a while, all the crowd could do was gaze up in awe of these people, who were so familiar, and yet, so un-familiar. This was the point where the ten people began to move.
"Heal Card!" The girl in pink cried, raising a staff just like Lillian's. Immediately, Ying-fa felt all of the wounds inflicted by Vandor and the Duke, wear off her body. There were gasps of astonishment from the crowd, and Ying-fa heard Aya whimper.
~*~*~*~
"Derrick, what have you done?" Ellis asked in a deadly serious voice, gathering his wits. He, Marcy, Micha, Rina, Victor, and Dedra were all standing nervously in a group, eyeing the young people with horror. Aya, Ying-fa, Xiao-lang, and Lucas had bunched together for support, and were now moving over to their friends.
Derrick/Eriol looked at Ellis with a sly smirk, and then he stood up. His chair was at the very center of the group, with Trista/Tomoyo on his left side, and Touya on his right. For a moment, all he did was stare at the group, but soon, his smile widened and he spoke.
"I have only done what was needed." He said simply. This made Lucas snort, and Eriol's blue eyes centered in on him.
"Have a seat." Eriol suggested/commanded, and the ten startled older forms were pushed backwards into ten seats similar to Eriol's.
"Now, what we have to tell you, will be something that you will find hard to believe. But you must know. First, I will start by introducing all of us." Eriol motioned to the other nine people in the seats near him. Trista stood up beside him, and shot Dedra a defiant look. Eriol smirked at this, and gently took her arm within his own.
"This is Daidouji Tomoyo, though you have known her as 'Trista'." He said, and Tomoyo's chin rose into the air a bit, giving her a regal look.
"What?! But she is just a servant! How could she have two names?" Xiao-lang yelped, making Tomoyo smile slyly.
"Because I am not really a servant at all!" She quipped, looking over at Marcy and Micha who were stifling giggles and chuckles.
"Yes you are! How could you say otherwise?" Dedra snapped, making Tomoyo shake a bit, but she managed to keep her level gaze.
"Listen to us, Dedra, before you ask any more questions." Eriol commanded, his voice calm but with an edge of steel. Dedra turned pale and gave a slight nod of her head, allowing Eriol to continue.
"As I was saying, this is Daidouji Tomoyo. I am Hiiragizawa Eriol, also known as 'Derrick'. Beside me are Touya and Meiling, whom none of you have met, but…I am sure that the names ring a bell…" Eriol smirked, looking over at the shocked Micha and Marcy.
"Beside them are Landon and Naoko. I believe that they are known as 'Regen' and 'Nira', here." Eriol then turned to his left side.
"On Tomoyo's other side, at the far end, is Li Ellanora, and beside her is Tarnor. They are known as 'Sora' and 'Tarnor', to you." After this introduction, Ellis got the guts to speak up.
"Why does everyone have last names except for them?" He looked pointedly at Landon and Tryon, but Eriol simply held up his hand.
"All in good time. Beside Tomoyo is Li Syaoran, brother to Ellanora, and future ruler of Hong Kong. You know him as 'Symian'." At this, the crowd gasped, and eyed Syaoran with awe. Sakura moved closer to him in nervousness, and he gently took her hand and squeezed it.
"And last, but not least, Kinomoto Sakura, whom you know as 'Lillian'. Cards Mistress and future wife of Li Syaoran." Eriol Said these last few words in a sly voice, making Syaoran and Sakura blush madly. Tomoyo was whispering quiet 'kawaii's', and Nora was simply beaming. Even Touya was forcing down a smirk, and Meiling looked simply ecstatic.
"WHAT?! That is a lie! Symian, Lilly, Sora, and Nira are babies! Those…people could not possibly be them!" Aya managed to say at last. Eriol looked at his friends, and they nodded at him.
"Ask Micha, or Marcy. They know. The only thing that we didn't tell them was that these four were actually a different age than what they seemed." Eriol announced. A cautious Micha stepped forward and looked at Sakura closely. His brown eyes met her green ones, and he grinned.
"So…I am not so very much older than you…" He said, making Sakura laugh her high, sweet laugh.
"Only by four years, dear Onichan!" She giggled. Marcy then walked over to Syaoran, and looked him in the eye.
"So…you are my royal cousin! A pleasure to meet you!" She chirped, shaking his hand, and then looking over at Meiling.
"Oh! I can see it! You are my re…" She stopped abruptly, realizing what she had almost let out. Eriol grinned at her and nodded.
"There is another *small* little detail that we left out, that fits this whole story together…we are from the future. We came here to help you defeat Vandor and the Duke." Eriol explained. There was a resounding gasp, and the past forms nearly bolted out of their seats.
"How is this possible?" Ellis gasped.
"How could we think that you were related to us?" Dedra wondered out loud. At these comments, the ten future forms grinned at each other.
"That, I am afraid, is something only Vandor could answer fully. But I can give you the gist. He was the one who pulled us to this time in the first place, so he could destroy us, and take Aya for his own." Eriol mussed.
"But why would he want me?" Aya wailed. Nora stood up and quietly folded her hands in front of her. Her quiet presence caused everyone to look at her, and calm down.
"He wanted you for four reasons. The first, was that from the moment he first saw you, he was infatuated with you. The second was that he wanted the power that your lands held, and he was willing to do anything to get them. The third was that he was jealous of his brother for taking your heart, and for you ignoring him." Ellanora explained. At the 'taking your heart', part, both Lucas and Aya blushed, causing their friends to 'Awe!'.
"But what was the forth?" Ying-fa questioned. Eriol held up a finger and smirked.
"That is the final puzzle piece. You see, the only reason that we were able to come here, was because…we are your reincarnated forms." He said calmly. For a moment, there was complete silence, but then…
"WHAT?!"
"You have got to be joking!"
"How is that possible?!"
"I don't believe you!"
"Can you repeat that?"
"Excuse me?"
"Ok, now I know that I am going crazy!"
"HOE???????"
"I knew that."
"Me too."
At the last two exclamations, the other eight people turned to look at Micha and Marcy, who were grinning widely.
"You knew?! And you didn't tell us?" Xiao-lang asked in a deadly voice. Micha smirked at him.
"What were we supposed to tell you? 'Oh, did you hear the news? Our future selves are here, and they are protecting us from an evil man, whom some of you considered a brother'. You would have thought that we were crazy!" The boy exclaimed. Ying-fa choked back a sob.
"So that is why you were so dead-set against us coming here. You knew!" She buried her face in Xiao-lang's shoulder and he pulled her close.
"But…which of you is the reincarnate of whom?" Ellis asked, looking shaken and confused. Eriol sighed and then looked at his friends.
'We had better tell them in an orderly fashion. You may also want to give some information about yourself, just for future reference.' He thought/spoke. Everyone nodded, and then Touya stepped forward.
"I am Kinomoto Touya, age eighteen. My little sister is Sakura, and I am the reincarnate of Prince Micha."

"Sakura, use the Big Card." Eriol commanded. Sakura nodded, and did as she was told.
