Ascension
Chapter 7
"Hurry up Sakura!" Kero said. "They're all waitin' for ya!"
It was the night of Ascension. Magic users from near and far had gathered at the Showran residence to give Sakura their congratulations. Sakura was up in her guestroom wearing one of Madison's battle costumes. She had been fully dressed and ready to go for at least fifteen minutes, yet she had not left the room. Instead, she was just standing in front of the mirror, staring at her own reflection.
Li came into the room, dressed in his usual green robes. "What's going on? Everybody's waiting for Sakura."
"Aw, I dunno," said Kero. "I think she might be getting cold feet."
"Maybe I should have a talk with her."
"What? But I'm the one who always has a talk with her!"
Nevertheless, Li wanted to handle this one himself-alone. "You know Kero, there's pudding downstairs."
"Pudding?" At the speed of light, Kero was gone.
Now Li could talk to Sakura. "Are you alright Sakura?"
Sakura looked up from the mirror. "Hmm? Oh, yeah, I'm okay. I'm just a little nervous about tonight."
"You mean about meeting the Elders alone?"
Sakura nodded. "Your mom told me that when the Elders finally show up, they're going to meet with me in private. Which means that no one else will be able to be there with me. I've just got this really bad feeling about that."
"Don't worry Sakura, I'm sure you'll be fine. I don't know exactly what the meeting involves, but whatever it is, I'm sure you can handle it. I mean, you were able to capture and seal all of the Cards!"
"Yeah, but I could never have done it without you." Sakura looked up into Li's eyes. "I wish you could be there with me Li."
"Yeah-so do I." Li took Sakura's hand. Come on, we'd better not keep our guests waiting!"
Holding hands, Sakura and Li descended down the stairs to the party. Yelan was waiting for them, along with about 30 other guests.
"Here she is at last," Yelan announced. "Everyone, this lovely young lady is the one whom we've all gathered here tonight to honour. Say hello to Cardcaptor Sakura!"
TO BE CONTINUED
Not a very long chapter I know, but I'm having a little trouble coming up with ideas. Anyway, tell me what you think!
