Chapter 7: - The Fateful Wish
When the Evil One returns,
And the new moon wanes,
And the Lost One yearns,
For it's Mistress, not in vain.
The Heroes will return,
Two more of their number,
Who will learn,
That five is an even number.
~* King Penguin Park*~
The night sky sparkled with diamond-like stars and no moon was in sight. Their soft glow was barely enough to see by. But just enough for the stealthy figure in black. Just by looking, a passerby would see the figure was a young boy about 17, with dark hair, and a long black cape and outfit that seemed to soak up the light. The still night was broken by a strange-looking sparkle. The boy seemed to be heading to the Penguin slide. Lucky for him, as no one in their right mind would be outside at 1 in the morning on a Sunday, so no one saw him.
When the boy neared the clearing, he suddenly sank into the shadows, as if waiting. And to your surprise (A.N: I hope ;-), an eerie bluish-silver glow appeared. The boy held his breath as the glow brightened. "Good."
~* Sakura's Room *~
Sakura tossed and turned in her sleep, moaning softy. Syaoran, at the time, was stealthily climbing the tree out side her window. He finally managed to get the window open and wake up Kero, telling him he had been woken by a powerful surge of energy from King Penguin Park. Kero nodded.
"Yep. A power unlike both Clow's or Nobunaga's. Very... how to put it..."
"In-human?" asked Syaoran.
"Yep. That's it. In-human." nodded the guardian, bobbing up and down in front of the sorceress and the young man.
"Then," the young man asked, "Shouldn't we wake Sakura?" he asked, nodding at the sleeping sorceress, next to him. Kero nodded. Syaoran's hand dropped into position on her shoulder, shaking her awake. "Sakura," he whispered, softly. "Sakura... Damn-it Sakura, wake up!" he hissed, quietly. She blinked and stared at him, shocked. He stifled her scream with his large hand, his finger to his lips. "Shhhh..... It's just me and Kero... Geez. No need to scream." She glared at him.
"Mummf." she said, angrily and he lifted his hand from her lips, blushing slightly.
"We have to contact the others. I felt a power-surge of in-human energy at King Penguin Park." he whispered, avoiding her eyes,
"Can you call Tomoyo?" Sakura nodded, still a little angry, but picked up the new pink and green cell-phone Tomoyo insisted that the three of them get just a month ago, and dialed her best-friend's number. After a minute, Tomoyo answered.
"Moshi, Moshi. Tomoyo speaking."
"Tomoyo, we have an emergency! Can you call Amy and Darren and tell them to come to King Penguin Park?"
"They just called. They said that they felt a power-surge or something."
"Yes! That's it! Come if you can, Tomoyo."
"Alright, see you in 5! Bye!"
"Bye!"
They both shut of their phones and went about their rooms to find the things they would need for this mission. It had been 5 months since a new card had showed up, and this one was meet with part relief-part anxiousness, since no one knew what to expect.
~~*5 Minutes Later, K.P. Park*~~
Amy and Darren strolled into the clearing around the slide. Amy was dressed in blue jeans, a dark blue short-sleeved T-shirt and a light-blue long sleeved shirt on top. Darren had on dark-blue pants with sliver streaks down the sides, a light blue tank top, and a blue sweat band was around his forehead. Both had their swords clutched in their hands. They heard a rustle of leaves and jumped to face the woods. Darren gulped.
~~*~~
Feras smiled grimly. "So... Wish is in the park. I'll wish that awful Nobunaga away and live with Aki as my bride!" He laughed evilly (A.N: He does that a lot, doesn't he? ::smirk::) and bounded towards the growing sphere of light
~~*~~
Sakura, Syaoran, Eriol, Tomoyo and Keroberos burst through the leaves. Darren sighed. "You scared the living daylights out of me!" he hissed. Amy shushed him, pointing to the sphere of light behind him. The group walked around it, Amy and Darren jumped to the Penguin's crown, watching as the sphere glowed brighter, then form the shape of a woman.
She wore a kimono of pink silk and her ankle-length black hair floated (literally) around her slim shoulders. Her face was pale as the moon, her eyes perfect, even though they were closed. They sucked in their breaths. The Wish opened her crystal green eyes.
"Tetsuo Shima..." she whispered, her voice light and almost dangerously soft. "...What is your wish?"
A slightly older and more evil-looking Feras stepped into the light of Wish's glow. "I wish..."
"NO!!!" yelled Amy, leaping down, her wings exploding half-way down. Her clothes changed to a silvery-blue gown and her hair, previously braided, floated after her, free of it's confines. Her face changed from one of a 17-year-old to that of 30-year-old beauty. "Wish..." she said, her voice different. Softer, lower, and more musical. "Wish, don't obey him..." Wish looked faintly surprised, a puzzled look on her face.
"Mistress?" she asked, her eyes quizzical. Amy/Aki smiled, "Wish, come back...return to your original form."
"But his wish..."
"He wishes to destroy Huratomo. We would not like that, would we?"
Wish smiled and shook her head. "Good, now transform..." With a last smile, Wish faded into a card with silver and light-blue markings where Sakura's had pink.
"Here Sakura..." Whispered Aki, giving her the card. "It's yours now." Sakura frowned.
"But..."
"Take it." Darren leapt down to land next to his bride/fiancé, his own wings exploding, and his clothing changing to a dark-blue prince's outfit. He smiled and wrapped his arms around Aki from behind. "Nice job, Aki." he whispered into her hair and kissed it. She smiled, blushing lightly. Feras/Tetsuo growled.
"Nobunaga!" He charged, but suddenly and sword appeared out of nowhere in Huratomo's hands, and the wizard leapt out of the way, slashing downward with his dark-blue and silver blade. Tetsuo parried quickly with his own black and copper sword, and the two slashed furiously for a moment, then the stood at a tense standstill. Their blades clanged as they met and both tried to push the other down, their faces close and eyes filled with hatred.
"Again, Nobunaga?" smirked an overconfident Tetsuo Shima, as he pressed closer to whisper. "Again, I'll have to kill you and take your bride?" Huratomo snarled,
"No. This time I'll have the honor of killing you." He hissed, and Tetsuo found that he was moved back several inches. He pressed closer, his black hair falling over his shoulders and into his eyes. Their black-blue depths flickered with hatred.
"If you had not taken her as your bride, I would have left you alone." Tetsuo hissed. Huratomo growled again.
"I asked her if she would marry me. She said she would. She said she loves me, just as I love her." he snarled, pushing against Tetsuo's blade. This went on for quite a while, the upper hand switching between the two men. Then Huratomo pretended to slip and rolled beneath Tetsuo. Tetsuo lost his balance, falling face forward. Huratomo righted himself and slashed downward again, but, not a moment too soon, Tetsuo parried, still on the floor. He pushed up, using Huratomo as a ladder. Huratomo pulled away quickly, and Tetsuo was still caching his balance when a scream sounded.
"Huratomo!" yelled Aki, "The police..." she didn't finish, nor did she have to, for they turned and saw the telltale flash of bright lights. Sakura used fly to take Syaoran, Eriol used his magic on himself and Tomoyo, while the pair of Human Phoenixes rose in flight. "See you, Tetsuo!" yelled Huratomo, as he pulled Aki close for a kiss. That didn't help Tetsuo's mood much.
