A MAGICIAN'S CURSE
by Rhys Icewind
~Chapter 2~
The girl thrashed about the bed shouting 'Where is Syaoran!?!'. Squall
and Zell had to pin the girl down so that Dr. Kadowaki could get close
enough to inject a tranquilizer on her. After which she slept.
"Doc, what happened?" Zell asked.
"she just woke up and started screaming. I guess she was disoriented"
Dr. Kadowaki replied, not taking her eyes off the patient. She turned to
Squall and Zell, "Both of you can go now. I'll just call you if anything
comes up." and the two left.
===
Along the corridor a woman, about the age of 20 with long black hair and
deep purple eyes, walks then suddenly stops sensing a very familiar aura.
"they're here." she whispers to herself. And she starts to walk again.
As she walks on, she turns right by a corner. There was a bright flash
then...
She was gone.
===
Back in Japan...
"I hope that Sakura did the job." Ruriko sighed as she walked to her
fellow gatekeepers after defeating the last invader.
Shun Ukiya, her friend(?), stepped closer to her. "don't worry I'm sure
that she has defeated them. She IS the most powerful magician in all the
world."
"yeah, and the invaders are thinning out" Kaoru said. She was standing
atop their bus, looking for any more invaders coming.
Reiko sighed. "but I Wish that we could have helped her"
Fei patted her friend's shoulder. "we helped her by defeating the invaders
running amok town" she said, giving Reiko her patented fang smile.
"I hope that we could rest now." Shun sighed.
Just as he said that, their radio beeped.
"speaking of the devil..." Fei murmured.
Ruriko answered the walkie-takie. "yes?"
"Ruriko, we have detected a strange signal just 25 kilometers from your
present position." Ms. Oichiai said from the other line.
"copy that. we're at it." Ruriko replied. "you heard that guys, let's go!"
"OKAY!" they all replied.
===
the site was an empty lot. It was quite spacious and there were no houses
for at least a mile. The team arrived there seeing nothing that looked
suspicious.
Shun was the first to get off the bus. "don't see anything."
"keep your eyes peeled." Ruriko told them.
Reiko tipped her head to the side. "how do you do that?" she asked.
The rest sweatdropped.
"what I ment was be alert." the gatekeeper of light explained.
"oh.."
The team sweatdropped again.
Shun looked at Megumi. "make a barrier."
Megumi nodded and did as told. She was different now, more friendly and
open. And she seemes to have gotten along with Yukino and Saemi quite well.
Just as she did that, a hooded figure stepped from out of the shadows.
The team reacted accordingly, preparing their attacks.
"who are you and what do you want?" Shun shouted.
The stranger gave no reply but simply raised her hand in front of her,
palms facing them. The team became more tense. The figure then opened
a gate of pure white, which surprised the team.
"what gate is that?" Ruriko said, her eyes widening.
Suddenly, the white gate gave out a very bright flash.
"do not worry, I shall return them to you alive and in good condition."
The strong voice of a woman told them.
"retun who?" Fei shouted, keeping her arm over her closed eyes.
And after that the light disappeared.
"captain..." Kaoru whispered.
Shun, Ruriko and Yukino were gone.
Megumi thought,
===
After three days, Sakura finally managed to wake up. she noticed that
someone was sitting asleep beside her. Her first thought was Syaoran,
because of the muscular biceps (Syaoran DID get to grow his biceps) but
then, this guy....was blonde.
He suddenly woke up.
He first looked around and finally their eyes met. His were green like
hers but were full of worry and there were black lines under his eyes,
just proving that he hadn't been sleeping well.
"oh HI!" he sleepily, but happily, greeted. "are you ok?"
Sakura just nodded lightly, which made her feel that the world swirled
around her. She suddenly felt the strong arms of the stranger supporting
her.
"thanks" she said in a silent, but sweet voice.
Zell then let go. "it's OK. you better rest more." he replied. "by the
way, my name is Zell, Zell Dincht." he said wiping his hands before
offering, as usual.
Sakura gave a smile. "I'm Sakura Kinomoto." Then she shook his hand.
"and I think that you should rest too." she said silently, pointing
at his eyebags.
Zell then scratched the back of his head and giggled a little. "that's
nuthin!"
Somebody entered.
"OH! I see that our patient is awake. How are you feeling? I'm Dr.
Kadowaki."
Sakura looked at the kind face of the woman who spoke. "Just a bit
woozy, I guess." she replied.
Dr. Kadowaki then turned to face Zell, "Zell, you can go back to your
room now and have a good sleep. I'll take care of things here." And so,
Zell left.
===
Along one of the halls, Zell came by the jolliest person on this side
of the universe - Selphie Tilmitt.
"HIYA ZELL!!" she greeted. "hey! how's the patient? your guard isn't
over yet. What are you doing walking around?"
"She just woke up a minute ago." He replied sleepily.
Selphie tilted her head to her side and held Zell's drooping face up
by his chin and smiled. "you better continue on you way to your room."
"bye." Zell yawned.
Selphie just waved back and went on her happy way.
===
Sakura saw how Dr. Kadowaki fussed about her and had to insist that she
was just OK a hundred times. "um... Doctor, can you tell me where am I?"
she asked.
"why, you're in Balamb Garden."
"where is that?"
"in Balamb, of course."'
"and where in Tokyo is that?"
The doctor looked at her. "Tokyo? what's that?"
It was now Sakura's turn to look at her. "Tokyo's a place. Isn't that
were we are?"
Dr. Kadowaki suddenly put the back of her hand on Sakura's forehead.
"are you sure that you are ok?"
Sakura's face turned from surprise to serious to anger. "OF COURSE!
I'm perfectly fine! HEAL CARD COME FORTH, RELEASE AND DISPEL YOUR
POWER!!!"
And out from Sakura's outstreached arms came the heal card, looking
like a nurse with a fairy's wings. The faerie gave off light which
glowed and pulsated on Sakura, totally healing all her injuries. This
made Dr. Kadowaki scream, therefore calling the attention of SeeDs
passing by. Particularly Selphie, Irvine and Rinoa.
===
As soon as Zell entered his room, he plopped right into his bed and
slept.
From the shadows, a figure of a woman steps out. "Sleep well, dear
prince. Enjoy your peaceful moments...the curse of my mother shall
now be TRULY finished....I curse you! child of Taraleia! That someday,
a card mistress will come and to whom you shall fall deeply in love
with and when the time comes that you will kiss, the seed of evil
shall sprout within you, and the monster that your family has hidden
all these years will come alive.. then you shall die and face your
fate! No magic may stop this curse from destroying you and this world.
There shall be no hope on the face on this earth!"
From the tip of her fingers sprouted a black aura that went over
to Zell's body and embedded itself.
~dream~
"Zell..."
Zell looks around, wondering were the voice came from.
"Zell" said the woman's voice, which was like fresh water running
down the stream. Zell felt awfully close to it, a feeling that made
him long for the voice, wanting to hear more.
"who's there?" he shouts.
And suddenly, there was a bright light and from the darkness, came
a beautiful woman with blonde hair, fair skin and same green eyes.
Zell felt a longing to hug her but stopped the impulse. "Zell..."
she says, her voice full of longing.
Zell shook his head to bring himself to focus. "Who are you?"
The woman's beautiful face became sad but then, she looked at him
in the eye and smiled again. "I am nobody to you. I only a person,
unknown to you."
Zell's face became more serious. "If so, why are you here?"
"I am here, to warn you... of great danger."
"what danger? Ultimecia's gone! We defeated her three years ago!"
The woman's green eyes were now full of worry. "Please listen.
Great danger shall befall upon you and this world. I must warn you
not to fall in love with any woman, especially to a card mistress."
Zell's face was full of confusion. "what? fall in love? to a
card what?"
But before anything else could be revealed or answered, the woman
disappeared and Zell woke up. He was on the floor and someone was
beside him.
"are you OK?" asked a young lady beside him.
Zell stood up holding his head. "yeah..." he
thought.
"That's good. You've been lying there for FIVE minutes!" she exclaimed.
With the mention of that, Zell popped his head up and looked around.
He discovered that he was out of his room. "wha..."
"anything wrong?"
Zell looked at the lady, who was just a few inches shorter than him.
She had a long black hair with long bangs all swept to one side, a
beautiful face and deep purple eyes. "no, everything's fine... say,
I've never seen you before, what's your student number and name?"
The lady gave a sweet smile. "I'm student number 2234, Saehri Clow
and I'm a Senior.....wait a sec.....aren't you..."
"yep. Zell, Zell Dincht a SeeD. nice meetin' ya, Saehri." he
offered his hand (after wiping it on his shorts, of course).
Saehri shook it and smiled. "I think this is the beginning of
a wonderful friendship."
