It's a few seconds before the silence was broken. "The shop is emty." Sakura whispered. Then she look at Kero "Is that the card doing?"
Kero cross his small little arms across his chest and close his eyes as he start thinking throught what card can it be. Then it came to him. "The 'Erase' card!"
========================================================================
Sakura roller bladed down the emty street, the light flicker on and off from time to time adding on to Sakura's fear. Kero flying behind her, exmaining the area carefully for any sign of the Clow card. They have been going on for a few hours now, Kero can feel his wings sweating and Sakura said her roller blade wheels is going loss.
They landed in Penguin Park and find it quite amazing that everything is there, not a piece missing. Trees surounding the park, the slid and other little penguins, benchs and lightpost. They are all there, prefectly standing.
"The place is the same." Sakura said in a tone of disbelieve.
"Yeah, Erase maybe didn't came in here." Kero added, he was lying on Sakura shoulder to rest.
Sakura reply with a nod, she sat down on one of the bench beside the lightpost. Kero got off her shoulder and now was seated beside her. Sakura took off her roller blades and exmain them, turning each wheel to make sure they're alright to roll. And that's when she felt it, the presence of a Clow card, one that she felt in her house, heading towards her with speed matched her running.
She look up from her roller blades, putting it on the ground and stand up bare feeted. She look at Kero who was now floating beside her, scanning the area. He look at her and she nodded. "It's coming."
Just as the words left her mouth, a light blue aura came flying into the park. It landed on the Penguin King crown and swifted back to it true form. A female dressed like a clown, with long pointy hat, and a dress, all in a pattern of diamond shape with blue and white. She hold a piece of cloth like a bull-fighter, the cloth is light blue with little balls at each corner, there is also two balls on the tip of her hat. Her face is pale white and glowing light blue with her aura. Under her left eye was a diamond shape dark blue.
"That's Erase true form!" Kero shouted to Sakura who exmain Erase with her emerld eyes.
Erase left the Penguin King and head towards Sakura with her cloth in front of her face, trying to erase Sakura. On the notice of the card movement, Sakura jumped up to the bench and leap away, landing prefectly on both feet. She watch as the card aura circle around the bench she jump stand seconds ago and when it clear away, the bench are no where to be seen.
"The bench?!" Sakura asked.
"It got erased." Kero answer, floating above Sakura, watching Erase motion. "Watch out, Sakura!"
Erase left the emty space where the banch should be and went after Sakura again. Sakura start running, dogding Erase as much as possible. After each strike, Sakura would stop and watch Erase erase whatever she hit, Sakura was just trying to find a weak point.
Why didn't she attack when I was chasing her? She waited and run till we rest... is because she is trying to worn us out! While we are physically exhuasted, so will our aura! She can't erase aura!
"Erase! What you can't erase is aura!" Sakura shouted at the up coming Erase.
Erase notice that her weakness have been noticed and stop right on her track. A look of frighten and fear shown clearly on her face. She turn around, run away from Sakura now that her weakness is known by the captor.
"Good job, Sakura! You find her only weakness!" Kero congratulated her.
"She is running away!" Sakura went after her, touching the ground bare feeted.
When Erase are nearly to the forest, she saw two charms heading towards, pass and attach itself on two trees. It glow a green aura and she know that it sealed the road ahead so she turn the other way around. She notice that all the trees surounding the park are sealed by the charms, she is trapped in the park with her captor.
Sakura stretch her arms, the Clow key in her hand. the key began to swirl around in mid-air when she chatted the words.
"The key which contain the dark power,
show me your true power,
under the contract Sakura order you to,
Release!" [Another direct translate]
The Clow circle appear under her on the ground, dust from nearby picked up and suround the circle. The light around the key turn brighter and brighter, then it stopped. The key grow in size, the golden part of the winged key turn to a pink colour, the key now is replaced by a wand.
Sakura swirl it around like a baton, she stopped and grip it tightly. Lifting it over her head, she start chatting another spell.
"Return to your destined form, Clow Card."
At the last word, she swing her wand down, hitting the air. On the tip of the wand glowed bright blue and a glowing card formed at the tip.
Erase struggeled to get out, she liked freedom and she didn't like the place she was stuck to for 300 years, but now, freedom end too soon. She breakdown, her aura sucked into the glowing card. When every bit of it was inside the card, it stop glowing and dropped down to the ground in front of Sakura.
Sakura bend down and picked it up, holding the card in her hand. She lifted it to relef to the light and slowly pronounce the name. "Er-Erase."
Under the mention of her name, the card glow and everything that Erase erased now return to their place, human, objects, everything. But Erase did not return their memory of seen her, she kept it like her new mistress want it to.
Sakura look up from the second card she capture. Once the card was sealed, the charms from the trees fell to the ground and burned out by fire. Noticing an green aura left, she wonder who it was. Everything is back and no one remember that they got erased. She left the park to return to her house.

Sakura silently climb up the stairs, not making a noise. She reached the top of the stairs and soundlessly walk to her room, having her hand on the knob, she proceed to open the door when light all of a sudden lit up. She turn around to face her brother room, door wide open and inside well lit. Her brother at the door staring at her.
"Well?" Touya asked.
Sakura sweatdropped and smile nervously at him, thinking up an excuse. "Well, em Touya, you see, uh, I was hungry so...I went down stair to get something to eat, yeah, that's it." Sakura answer.
Touya stare at Sakura for a moment then sighed. He lightly knock her head and smiled. "Well, I see." Then he smirked. "Don't try to empty the frigerator for us, you big appetite monster." And he stepped back in and closed his door as Sakura try to kick him but missed and hit the door.
Sakura went back to her own room and switch on the light, Kero float out from where he hid and sat on the desk. Sakura grabbed a pen and wrote her name on her new card. She place both Firey and Erase on the desk and sat on her bed.
"That was a great job you did back there, Sakura. You are improving." Kero said encourgly.
"Thanks." Sakura answer, she jump into her bed and place her cover over her shoulder for warmth.
"Sleep tight Sakura." Kero said and float to the switch, he click it off and went back to his drawer.
"You too Kero." And the room was left silent.

Sakura saw it without opening her eyes, the place was the Penguin Park. Everything was there and normal. But within a second, a blink of an eye, the place was on fire, burning with red and orange flickering flames that blaze through skin and soul. Sakura felt it, it's no ordinary fire, a magical fire, one that are almost the same as Firey's flame but no, something is different. The flame is like a seal, a seal to what, Sakura don't know but she know is important.
Then all of a sudden, a water dragon break through the circle of flames, creating a gap to it. That's when she saw the figure, it's a male about her age, wearing a fireman fire-proof jacket with the yellow helmet. It has brown eyes like the wolf picture Sakura saw before, shining the reflection of the full-moonlight. The figure ran through the gap the water dragon create and the flame re-form itself back to the way it was.
When the figure ran pass Sakura and into the flames, she could see in gold number on his shoulder, the 5 number that she is by now familiar with.
