This chapter takes place a week after school starts. Sakura, Tomoyo, Eriol,
Chiharu, Yamazaki, Damien, Katori, and Xian all go to Sejou High.
And the Two Shall Meet
Sakura looked out the window of her classroom. School had started a week ago. She was sad that Chiharu and Yamazaki weren't with them, they had decided to go to the private school. She had been really preoccupied lately, and for good reason. Eriol and Damien had explained the legend of the crystals to her, but so far none had showed up. She didn't know how she was going to capture one if it did, and they had no idea who the master was. All they knew was that it was someone with connections to all of the warriors of the past. So basically it was someone who knew Eriol, Damien, his partner, and herself. Damien seemed to have an idea of who it was, but he didn't say anything. Actually, she had a hunch that he knew exactly who the crystal master was. And she wondered why he never brought up the subject of his partner before. Maybe he didn't like her or something. Just then she got a rude awakening.
"Miss Kinomoto, if you're done drifting off into space, I'd like you to PAY ATTENTION!!!" yelled her teacher. Just her luck. She had gotten one of the meanest teachers at Sejou, Narada-sensei. He always seemed to have a chip on his shoulder. "Anyways", the teacher continued, "as I was saying before we had to stop for Miss Kinomoto, we have two extremely prestigious students coming here tomorrow from China. I expect you pains in my back to be on your best behavior. Anyone who isn't gets automatic detention for 2 weeks! Got it? Good. Now then. Class dismissed. Get out of here!"
"It's okay, Sakura, he's always like that. That guy has a serious problem. I wish I could teach him a lesson", said Xian. "It's alright, Xian, I don't mind. Might as well get used to it, I heard he's always that way".
"Yeah, well. Anyways, I have basketball practice right now. You coming to watch me?"
"I can't, I promised Tomoyo I'd come over to help her with a song she's writing". This was technically a lie, Sakura just wanted to spend time with her friend without Xian always there.
"Ok babe. See ya tomorrow". He gave her a kiss and walked off.
I wish he wouldn't call me that thought Sakura as she walked up to Tomoyo's locker. Tomoyo was glad to see Sakura without Xian for once. She didn't like him. Eriol and Damien tolerated him, but they didn't really like him either. Tomoyo still thought that Li-kun and Sakura would've made the perfect couple, but it didn't matter now.
"Hi Sakura-chan!!!" said Tomoyo. "Ya want to hang out at my house today?
"Sure!" said Sakura. She turned around and waved to a few approaching figures. "Oi, Damien-kun, Katori-chan, Eriol-kun! Are you going to hang out with us today?" Tomoyo blushed as Sakura said Eriol's name.
Damien said, "Sorry Sakura-chan, but Katori and I are going out. She wants to buy Tiger Eyes' CD" (A/N: Hee hee. He doesn't know that Kai is Tiger Eyes!!)
"I heard she was coming out with a new CD and she's going to record it in Japan" said Tomoyo.
"Sugoi!" squealed Sakura. "I love her music! She's very kawaii looking as well!!"
Damien shrugged and said, "I wouldn't know, I've never seen her picture".
Sakura turned to Eriol "Are you going to come with us Eriol-kun?" Tomoyo blushed again.
"I must also decline Sakura-chan, I have other plans", he replied
"What are you doing, Hiiragizawa-kun?", asked Tomoyo sweetly
Eriol blushed at the sound of her voice. "I have some guests coming. my dear Daidouji-san. They're going to be staying here awhile, and I need to make sure everything is ready. You'll meet them soon", he said mysteriously.
"Well, we've got to go, Tomoyo-chan! See you guys tomorrow!", said Sakura. Everyone went their separate ways.
~~Later on...~~
"So Tomoyo-chan, when are you going to tell Eriol-kun that you love him?", asked Sakura
"Quiet Sakura-chan!" said Tomoyo, "I'll tell him when I'm ready". Changing the subject, she said, "Sakura-chan, who do you think the new students are? They must be very important for Narada-sensei to threaten us with 2 weeks of detention!" "I don't know Tomoyo-chan. I suppose we'll have to wait"-a flash passed through her body. "Tomoyo-chan, the spirit is back!" "Ohohoho! Now I get to tape my kawaii Sakura-chan in one of my costumes again!!", said a starry-eyed Tomoyo. Sakura sweatdropped. "Let's go!", she said.
While this had all been happening, Syaoran and Kai had arrived in Tomoeda, at Eriol's house, thanks to a handy transportation spell. Eriol stepped out and said, "Welcome cute little descendant and his cousin, it's been a long time". Kai said politely, "Arigato for letting us stay here, Hiiragizawa- kun, and gomen nasai if we're imposing". Syaoran, after an elbow from Kai, said, "Arigato Hiiragizawa, but don't call me that if you know what's good for you, my no-so-cute ancestor". This earned him another elbow from Kai. Eriol chuckled and said, "It's good to see that some things never change, and please, call me Eriol-kun, since I'm calling you Kai-chan. And you aren't imposing at all, I've been rather lonely since Nakuru went to college and dragged Spinel along with her-err, him-err, it". They unpacked their things, and Eriol was informed about Syaoran being the crystal master and all.
A flash went through them, and Eriol said, "Well, my cute little descendant, looks like there's another crystal to capture. Shall we?" They all transformed into their robes and left.
By the time Sakura and Tomoyo got to the park with Kero, the same spirit was there, throwing flames around. Damien was already there fighting. "Watery!" called Sakura, "Release and dispel!". It seemed to work, but then the flames overpowered The Watery and it turned back into a card. When the spirit saw Sakura approaching, he said, "You again, girl? I told you that you can't capture me..." he paused, sensing something. Or rather, someone. "My true master is here! Show yourself so we can fight and see if you are truly worthy of my power!"
You see, while Sakura was fighting the crystal, our favorite amber-eyed Chinese warrior had arrived, along with his companions. Eriol and Kai were about to jump down, but Syaoran said, "Wait. I want to see the effects of Clow Cards on the crystals. Plus, Sakura can handle herself. She's not the Card Mistress for nothing.". "What! But she's losing!", protested Eriol. "You can go down if you want Eriol, I can't make you stay, but Kai, as your leader I'm ordering you to stay here". Kai retorted, "And as your second in command and primary advisor, I'm telling you that's a bad choice. But you are my leader, not to mention my best friend, so if you want me to stay I will". He looked at her and smiled. "Thanks". He'd reveal himself soon enough. Eriol looked at his not-so-little-anymore-but-still-cute- descendant. He had obviously grown a lot, and had a lot more power, too. Syaoran obviously wanted to wait to reveal his presence, so he would respect his wishes. They stood, watching the battle progress.
"Master, what's wrong? Are you afraid? Why won't you reveal yourself?", mocked the fire spirit.
"Huh?" said Sakura
"You won't show yourself? Than I suppose I shall have to draw you out!", he said. He threw bolts of fire at Sakura. "Watch out!", yelled Kero. It was too late for her to use her cards, and all she could do was stand there...she closed her eyes and prepared to die.
"Element, wind! Come to my aid!" A wind carried her away and put her safely on the ground. When she opened her eyes, she saw before her a tall guy with brown-red hair and amber eyes, holding a sword and wearing familiar-looking robes. It couldn't be..could it? "Hoe? S...S...Syaoran??" Sakura asked.
The figure nodded and then doubled over. He had taken the burns for Sakura and was wounded. "Get out of here!!", he yelled. Sakura couldn't move. Syaoran's...here? He saved me? Maybe he still cares...no, it's probably his new mission or something. She moved to the side and used the shield card around her and Tomoyo. She watched as Syaoran stood up and face the spirit.
"So, you finally showed, master" said the spirit
Hoe? Syaoran is the master of the crystals? That means he knows Damien...why didn't he say anything? thought Sakura.
Syaoran chanted something and a shield appeared around the spirit, containing it. He then fell to the ground, hurt by the burns.
Damien shouted, "That's not going to hold forever!"
"That's why I'm here", a calm voice said. A girl dressed in robes similar to Damien's appeared in the trees and leaped down by Syaoran. Damien turned white and stuttered "K-K-Kai? What are you doing here?"
"Obviously", Kai answered somewhat bitingly, "I'm here to help Syaoran with the crystals, dear ex-partner." She then spoke to Syaoran and said teasingly, "Mou, Syaoran, 5 minutes here and you're already injured? Have I taught you nothing?" Syaoran said, "Would you just help me already? You didn't even teach me how to capture the crystals, Kai, so this is technically your fault". "We can argue later", she said. A blue-purple aura surrounded her and healed Syaoran. He jumped up, as good as new. "So you are the master of the crystals, just like I thought", spoke Damien.
"Yeah", Syaoran replied.
"I hate to break this oh-so-touching reunion up, but we have a fight to finish", said the spirit, who had gotten free.
"So let's finish it", said Syaoran. He released his sword and faced the spirit.
I love cliffhangers!!!
