Chapter Four (08.06.02)
Tomoyo bursts into the room, holding what looks like a 16th-century ceramic
vase over her head. But Sakura and the others are having a hard time seeing
the object, on account of the room being almost completely dark.
"You must separate the spirit of the Clow Mistress from your friend! And the
only way to do that is to kill the body the spirit possesses!"
The voice keeps motivating Tomoyo on as she approaches Sakura.
"Tomoyo-chan!" Sakura calls out. "What's going on?"
"Look out!" Syaoran yells, spotting Tomoyo heading towards Sakura.
Tomoyo uses all of her might to hurl the vase right at Sakura's head. Sakura
sees it coming at the last moment and jumps out of the way. The vase hits the
floor, smashing into pieces instantly.
"Hoe!"
"She's gone crazy!" Meilin shouts.
"Tomoyo-chan! Why are you doing this?"
Tomoyo turns to face Sakura to answer her question. Sakura then spots
Tomoyo's lifeless eyes as her best friend responds in a trance-like state.
"I must save Sakura-chan from the Clow Mistress."
"What? That doesn't make any sense!"
"Meilin-chan, that's the Clow Card talking! The card's taken over her body."
Sakura glances at Kero with concern on her face. "Kero-chan, what card is
it?"
Kero thinks for a minute. "Possession... possession... what card takes
control of a person's body without being detected?"
"I must save Sakura-chan from the Clow Mistress," Tomoyo repeats.
"Tomoyo-chan, snap out of it! It's me, Sakura!"
Unable to snap Tomoyo out of her trance, Sakura turns to Syaoran for
suggestions.
"Li-kun! How can we get Tomoyo back to normal?"
Now Syaoran begins to think out loud. "It's somewhat similar to the Sword
Card, which possessed your friend Rika."
"That's it!" Sakura exclaims, coming up with a bright idea.
Sakura turns her attention towards the Key of Clow as she begins to recite
the incantation that changes it to a wand.
"The Key which hides the powers of the Dark! Show your true powers before me!
I, Sakura, command you under our contract! RELEASE!"
The Key lights up and expands into a wand, which Sakura grabs a hold of. Once
the transformation sequence ends, Sakura immediately pulls out the Illusion
card.
"If it's a similar situation as it was with Rika-chan, then all I have to do
is use the Illusion card to distract her long enough to knock her out of her
trance!"
"Wait, Sakura!"
Kero flies in front of Sakura, blocking her view of Tomoyo.
"Kero-chan!"
"It won't work! With the Sword card, the trance was broken when you chopped
the sword out of your friend's hand. But there's nothing you can use to
knock Tomoyo out of the trance without physically touching her, as well as
possibly hurting her."
"Then what do I do, Kero-chan? There must be a card I can use!"
"First things first! We must figure out what card this is."
"I must save Sakura-chan from the Clow Mistress."
"What does that mean anyway?" Meilin asks after hearing Tomoyo saying the
same line again. "Kinomoto is the Clow Mistress! Right, Syaoran?"
"I don't understand this at all either. What kind of card has the ability to
take control of somebody?"
Kero then snaps his fingers as an idea pops into his head. "That's it!
You're actually good for something, kid!"
Syaoran clenches his fist in anger. "I'm not just a kid, you know!"
"Kero-chan, what's up?"
"When the kid asked what kind of card we're fighting, that got me thinking.
Maybe it's one of the Forbidden Clow Cards!"
"Forbidden?"
"I've heard of the Forbidden Clow Cards. They're the cards Clow Reed created,
but proved to be too dangerous for humans."
Sakura becomes a little frightened upon hearing this, as her body starts to
shake.
"Too dangerous?" she asks Kero nervously. "Too dangerous how?"
"There were only three such cards," Kero explains, "but even one was one too
many."
Suddenly, Syaoran leaps over Tomoyo's bed and unsheathes his sword, holding it
out right in front of Sakura and Kero. Just as their view is obstructed, they
hear a faint 'ping' sound. A small object is deflected into the air. It
lands behind Sakura and Kero on Tomoyo's dresser. Sakura walks over and picks
it up.
"It's a threading needle!" Sakura exclaims as she examines. She then turns
towards Syaoran to thank him. "Li-kun, you saved me!"
Syaoran turns around to face Sakura. To her surprise, his face is blushing
brightly red.
"Um, it's nothing," he mutters quickly before doing an about face and turning
his attention towards the needle thrower herself. After quickly pondering to
herself why Syaoran would blush over something like that, she too turns her
attention towards Tomoyo, who is now standing by the door.
"We've got to stop her before she does something really rash!" Kero shouts.
"I must save Sakura-chan from the Clow Mistress. The Clow Mistress must be
destroyed to save Sakura-chan's soul!"
"You don't have to do that!" Sakura shouts, waving her arms about in a panic,
attempting to convince Tomoyo not to kill her. "My soul's fine where it is!"
"I've had enough of this!"
Sakura, Kero, and Syaoran turn to their left as they see Meilin walking over
towards Tomoyo.
"I know of one way to bring somebody to their senses!"
As Meilin raises her right arm to slap Tomoyo across the face, Syaoran yells
out a warning.
"Meilin, be careful!"
Meilin is now standing right in front of Tomoyo, with her arm still up in the
air. She then brings it down in one swift motion, connecting with Tomoyo's
cheek. Or so she thinks.
In reality, Tomoyo somehow manages to catch Meilin's arm in mid-air before it
had hit her. Everyone, including Meilin herself, gasps in surprise. Tomoyo
then flashes an evil smile before swinging around and hitting Meilin with a
low roundhouse kick. Meilin is knocked off her feet as a result. She falls
backwards, landing with a hard thud.
"Meilin!"
"Meilin-chan!"
Sakura and Syaoran rush over to Meilin's side, helping her get up. As they
do, they watch helplessly as Tomoyo runs out of the room.
"H-h-h-how did she do that?" Meilin asks, trying to ignore the pain she now
feels on her head and back.
"That card's really got a hold of her, that's for sure."
"Meilin-chan, are you alright?"
Meilin glares at Sakura. "This is all your fault, Kinomoto! How could you
let a Clow Card take over her body?"
"It's not like I knew it was there before!" Sakura shouts back.
"We don't have time for this," Syaoran states, stopping the two girls from
arguing. Turning to Sakura, he says, "You've got to keep an eye on Tomoyo!
Make sure she doesn't hurt anyone. Or herself, for that matter."
Sakura nods in agreement. "Right! Come on, Kero-chan!"
Sakura runs out, with Kero flying right behind her. Once they are gone,
Meilin starts shouting at Syaoran.
"Why are you letting her go alone? She'll get the Clow Card!"
"We'll go after the card soon enough. I just want to make sure that you're
okay!"
"I'm fine!"
Meilin tries to get to her feet, but the pain in her back gets considerably
worse as she moves.
"Owwwww! It hurts!"
"I want you to stay here!"
"Syaoran! I want to help you!"
"You can't! Not when you can hurt yourself even more!"
"But Syaoran..."
"No! I don't want you to get hurt!"
Meilin then crosses her arms over her chest and begins to pout. "You just
want to be alone with Kinomoto, don't you?
Syaoran jumps back nervously. "That's not true!"
"I saw you blushing, Syaoran! You like her, don't you?"
"Well I..."
"Syaoran! I thought it was supposed to be you and me, not you and her!"
"Meilin, we don't have time to discuss this! Sakura-chan might need me."
"So, it's Sakura-chan now? How come you call her Sakura-chan and you call me
Meilin, not Meilin-chan? I want to know!"
"Meilin... it's not what you think!"
"You do have feelings for her!"
"Meilin, I've gotta go! Sakura doesn't know what she's up against! She
needs me! So stay here and let me take care of things!"
Syaoran then runs out the door, leaving Meilin alone in the room to shout
hysterically.
"She needs you? I need you! It's supposed to be us, us, US!"
======
Outside the mansion, the front gates are open... a sign that Tomoyo had
already left the grounds.
"Sakura!" Kero yells. "We've got to find Tomoyo-chan fast!"
Sakura pulls out the Fly card and summons it.
"FLY!"
The sealing staff transforms, absorbing the Fly card's powers and growing
wings on the back end. Sakura straddles the wand and prepares to take off
just as Syaoran appears by the front door.
"Sakura!"
"Li-kun!"
Sakura extends her hand out. Syaoran grabs it without hesitation and hops on
just as the wand lifts off of the ground and flies into the air. Kero flies
next to them, issuing them a warning of doom.
"We don't know how much control the card has over Tomoyo! We've got to find
her before the card completely takes her body over!"
"And what happens if we can't find her in time?" Sakura asks.
"Then Tomoyo and the whole town... will not live to see sunrise."
Coming in Chapter 5:
- Tomoyo heads towards downtown Tomoeda in order to set a trap for Sakura.
- Kero explains the history of the Forbidden Clow Cards.
- Meilin disobeys Syaoran by going out after him anyway!
