For The Love of Sakura
By: ~*Chibi Chibi Sakura*~
Chapter 5
CCS(Chibi Chibi Sakura): HEY, HEY, HEY!!! I'm back with a guest!
Kero: Yeah, it's me, the one and only Ceroberus. Please hold all the goodies, such as, cookies, cake, pudding etc. for me until the end of the chapter.
CCS: Oh Kero! Don't have to be so greedy! Anyway, I'm sorry for the late posting. I was really stumped and ff.net wasn't working. Thank you if you reviewed my last chapter. So like ya. Kero, can you please continue the story! I need to run an errand badly!
Kero: Why should I? It's your ficcy.
CCS: I'll buy you some mango pudding.
Kero: You just got yourself a deal!
CCS: Thanks! * runs off *
Kero: YUMMY PUDDING! Okay, please enjoy the chapter and no flaming. By the way, Cardcaptor Sakura does not belong to Chibi Chibi Sakura. So please do not sue her. Although she wants to believe that it belongs to her she really knows they belong to the talented ladies of CLAMP.
"So, where's the closest place to us here?" asked Eriol, while getting ready to teleport.
"Let's see. Oh! It's the Lost Desert!" Tomoyo pointed to the map. "Go left! There should be a secret passage here somewhere."
There was a bright blue flash and the three of them landed in the middle of a canyon. Syaoran tripped and slammed into the wall and uncovered a doorway.
"Whoa. That was scary," said Syaoran.
They flew through the passage and found the desert. Eriol handed him a note.
"It's supposed to be a clue to find the mirror. There's a guardian here so be prepared to fight for it." explained Eriol.
"Okay. Thanks," he yelled.
A sandstorm kicked in. Sand rose and slapped Syaoran in the face.
'I should have brought goggles. It's hard to see out here. Well better set camp here tonight' he thought.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~The Next Day~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"YES! The sandstorm is gone!" he cheered, "And now to save Sakura. Now where's that note."
He read it. It said,
You can't survive without me.
You can't eat me. I always run, but never walk.
What am I?
'I have to solve this, I haven't even told her my feelings for her.There's so much on the line.' he thought.
He walked for hours.
"Man, I wish I brought food and water. Maybe I'll find a lake, or a riv-THAT'S IT! A RIVER!!! We can't survive without water or we'll dehydrate, we can't eat water but we can drink it, and water goes into a river and a river always runs!!!" Syaoran figured out, "But, where could anyone find a river out here in the desert?"
He walked and walked and walked but still no sign of a river. Finally he just sat down and listened to the wind. He thought he had heard water but also thought that he was hallucinating. He listened harder. IT WAS A RIVER!!! He followed the sound as fast as he could. He jumped into the river and splashed water on his face.
"Ah. So refreshing!!! But what does a river have to do with a mirror?" he asked himself, "I wonder where the end of the river is. I'll just conjure up a raft."
He used his sword to conjure one up and rode down the river.
At the end of the river, he found a temple and in the middle of the temple was the Mirror of the Lost Desert.
"Where's the guardian? Oh well, I'll just take the mirror and leave." he declared.
Suddenly, as he took the mirror from its platform, the ground began to shake and the guardian appeared.
"Who dares to take the Mirror of the Lost Desert?" the guardian demanded.
He saw Syaoran with the mirror and said, "Well, well, well, if it isn't Syaoran, a descendant of Clow Reed himself. Tell me why you need the mirror."
Syaoran stood his ground and told him about Sakura.
"If you really want the mirror, you have to solve this riddle in 10 minutes or you'll have a consequence. And the consequence will be to lose your most cherished feelings you have. You can back out now but if you choose to accept the question, you cannot back out and if you do you will lose your feelings and memories of this place." the guardian explained.
"Alright, I choose to accept the challenge." he replied.
The guardian handed him a piece of paper. It read,
How does half of eight equal three?
"Oh great, I can't even escape math when I'm away." he moaned.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~5 minutes later~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Five more minutes!" said the guardian, "Hard isn't it?"
Syaoran was deep in thought. The sun beating down on him didn't make things easier either. He sat down and thought for another 3 minutes. Suddenly, it hit him.
"I'VE GOT IT!" he cried. "You take the number 8 and slice it in half vertically right down the middle. THEN YOU GET THE NUMBER THREE! Man, I'm good."
"That is correct. You may have the mirror; I'll just transport you back home to Tomoeda. Have a safe journey." he replied.
"Thank you," he bowed.
