REVERSAL LOVE



Chapter 4 - "Truth is Never Hidden, Earth will Never Part"

"What did you say?? One of the Sakura cards is gone??" Kero asked worriedly.

"Yes...and I'm not sure which one it is!" Sakura said as tears immediately filled her eyes. "I'm a horrible master! I can't even take care of my cards!!"

"Sakura, please don't blame yourself. We can help you feel where the card has gone," Syaoran comforted her.

"Wait, Sakura, what's that paper you're holding on your hands?" Kero pointed out.

Hidden in the Sakura cards was a luminous, golden envolope sealed by a shining gold sticker. Printed in neat calligraphy was Sakura's name in the center, and a small phrase in the corner that read: "Truth is never hidden, Earth will never part. Horror will not last, but hate will be strong. The power within is never wrong,"

"It's Eriol's letter that he sent me from England! I totally forgot about it!" Sakura exclaimed. She curiously peeled of the sticker then took out the letter. "That's odd, last time I tried to open the sticker, but a beam of light stopped me from doing it. I wonder how I did it this time."

"Hurry!! Read what it says!!!" Kero shouted impatiently. Sakura nodded, then unfolded the letter paper.

------------------

Dear Sakura,

By now, you should of gone through the first incident. I wanted to warn you earlier, but someone as powerful as I am applied a seal to this letter to prevent you from opening it and see the truth. By using a large amount of my own magic, I was able to unseal it, and I hope it's not too late to reveal the truth to you now.

Everything in this world has a natural balance of positive an negative forces, like the Ying and Yang symbol of light and dark. When Clow Reed created the 52 cards, he realized that all the powers that the cards possessed were positive. The only way to neutralize this unbalance was to create only one powerful card called the "Void" which possessed enough negative powers to balance the rest of the 52 Clow Cards. This natural balance also involve humans. Normal people act in positive and negative ways, so they are naturally balanced. However, a great magician like Clow Reed possessed all positive powers. Clow Reed himself was afraid the negative side of him would appear to harm the cards and the people in the world, so he contributed a large amount of power to lock up the negative side of him. When he passed away, the negative powers were set free and reincarnated. I, Eriol Hiragizawa, had split half of Clow Reed's positive power during the process of reincarnation. The other half was shared by your father, Fujitaka Kinomoto. However, Clow Reed's negative powers were reincarnated all into one person on earth. I couldn't find out who it was, because he's far more powerful than I am. But I'm sure that's he's going after your Sakura cards and trying to create obstacles for you.

I wish I could do something to help, but all my magic is temporary used up to unseal this letter. Just promise me one thing, Sakura, be careful.

Eriol

"Hmmm... now I understand everything. That's why the ground mysteriously splitted in half earlier today." Syaoran realized.

"But who could this mysterious character be? And what was that aura I sensed earlier?" Sakura wondered.

Kero thought deeply. "Now I remember..." he muttered.

"What did you remember, Kero??" Sakura anxiously asked.

"No wonder Clow Reed was so weak before he passed away. So it was the negative side of him that took so much magic away from him. Now I understand everything." Kero suddenly realized.

"Tell us what you know!" Sakura demanded.

"Hmm.... if what I thought was correct, this mysterious character is trying mutate the Sakura cards." Kero stated.

"MUTATE THE SAKURA CARDS!!!" Sakura and Syaoran lead out a loud scream.

"I'm afraid so. This character must have taken your missing card and was somehow able to activate it; but turning it into reversed functions to attack you." Kero explained.

"I was with Sakura the whole time, and both of us didn't even see or feel this person stealing the card......that must means that this person is a very stong enemy," Syaroan said.

"But why would someone do such a horrible thing!! Reversing a function of a card is like turning someone evil!!" Sakura cried out.

"Remember, this character is the evil form of Clow Reed. He must be as powerful and Clow Reed himself!" Kero reminded.

"OH NO!!!" Sakura shouted.

"What is it??" asked the startled Syaoran.

"We have to go and close the crack on the sidewalk before someone falls into it." Sakura said worriedly.

"I'll come with you, Sakura," Syaoran offered.

"Please...let me come with you," said a voice in the corner. Tomoyo was out of bed and listened to the whole conversation.

"No! You have to rest!" Sakura replied.

"I want to go with you. I might be able to help." Tomoyo insisted.

"But you can't..." Sakura refused.

"Let's just all go together and save the troubles!" Kero suggested.

Sakura sighed, but agreed anyway.

~~~~~~~~~~

Sakura, Syaoran, Tomoyo, and Kero headed to the place where the accident happened. There was a big crack in the middle of the sidewalk.

"There it is, the dark hole that caused so much trouble." Syaoran angrilly said.

"Sakura, seal the hole with the "Earthy" card," Kero ordered.

"Right!" Sakura agreed. She released her star wand, then dipped her hand into her bag to find the "Earthy" card. She looked over and over her deck, but the card was not found.

"What's wrong, Sakura?" Kero asked.

"I can't seem to find the "Earthy" card!" Sakura answered.

"That's it! Everything is starting to come together! The mysterious character must have stolen your "Earthy" card!" Syaoran realized.

"Come to think of it, you're right!" Kero agreed.

"Earthy was responsible to keep the ground together......" Sakura started.

"But this person reversed the card's functions and made it split the ground instead!" Tomoyo added. "But what are we suppose to do with hole??"

"There's nothing we can do, but to leave it here right now until we can find the "Earthy" card." Kero told her.

"Umm...Sakura, do you remember the phrase on the letter? The first two lines reads 'Truth is never hidden, Earth will never part.' Does this phrase have the ability to forsee the future??" Syaoran wondered.

"Your right!! Truth is never hidden meant that we'll know the truth eventually! And the letter Eriol sent to Sakura explained the whole situation!!" Kero noticed.

"Earth will never part must've meant this dark hole!!" Tomoyo continued.

"The next line reads 'Horror will not last.' What does it mean??" Syaoran wondered confusedly.

"(Sakura thinking) Whoever you are that's causing all this trouble, I'll find you! And make you pay for everything that happened!"
