The Forgotten Magic: Chapter Four

Trying to Figure it Out

Sakura, Kero, and Touya headed to the woods, because they sensed something there, "We have to find Spring, she must be in grave danger. You must have something to do with Sakura, or she wouldn't have contacted you in your sleep."

Kero nodded his head, "Don't forget we have to find out what magical powers that Marigold kid has."

Sakura said nothing, but pointed in front of her, "I sense something over there."

The three-some rushed over and turned the corner to see Syaoran pushing Marigold backward into a tree. "Tell me! Tell me what magic you have! The Lasin board knows, I know, so tell!"

Marigold started to cry silently and curled up on the ground in fright. Syaoran looked down on her, "Why are you here?!? Who are you?!?"

Touya rushed forward and grabbed Syaoran, "What do you think you're doing? You can't bully the truth out of any magic!"

Syaoran squirmed out of Touya's grasp and mumbled to himself, "It's the easiest way that I know of getting the truth out of people"

Sakura laughed and she walked over to Touya who was trying to coax Marigold to get up. Kero flew over to Syaoran, "Nice word kid, you just SCARED THE GIRL TO DEATH!"

Syaoran tried to grab Kero, but Kero flew out of reach.

Touya held out his hand for Marigold and she carefully took it and stood up. After brushing herself off, Sakura tried to convince her to come to her house. Marigold nodded her head and they all walked back to Sakura and Touya's house. On the way, Sakura took Syaoran aside to explain all about what had happened and how Touya knew.

Marigold sat down on the bed and everyone else paced around in Sakura's room. A few minutes later, there was a knock at Sakura's door; Yukito stepped in, "Wow, what a party, but I just came to see Touya-"

Yukito fell down and Yue appeared, Sakura's eyes widened, "It's getting crowed in here" Yue looked from person to person, "I would like an explanation Keroberos. Now." Kero winced and ushered everyone, even Marigold out of the room before changing into Keroberos.

Sakura sighed and told them that there were cookies downstairs and they were more than welcome to have some, so she, Syaoran, Touya, and Marigold went downstairs. Surprisingly, Marigold didn't eat any cookies, so Sakura, Touya, and Syaoran helped themselves. Touya couldn't keep his eyes off Marigold though, he knew for sure there was something magical about her, but he couldn't lay his finger on it.

Since Fujitaka was a work, everyone could go about the house without worrying about being discovered. Keroberos called from upstairs, "You may all return, Yue and I are finished conversing."

As they all walked back upstairs, Marigold's head dropped and she almost seemed to float upstairs and into Sakura's room. Sakura, Touya, and Syaoran rushed upstairs to see what was happening. When they got there they saw the Sakura cards forming a giant sphere around Marigold. Marigold's eyes looked frightened and she tried to look from person to person in the room for help. It was Touya who first tried to touch the sphere, but it zapped him with some unknown power. Soon Marigold couldn't be seen at all as the sphere tightened around her. Syaoran's fists tightened and he tried to punch the sphere open. A pale blue light flashed and he was thrown backwards.

Sakura rushed to his side, "Syaoran! Are you alright?"

Syaoran forced his eyes open, "Sakura, I think the sphere must have something to do with it. You need to get Marigold out of there! Forget about me, I'll be alright."

Sakura turned around back to the giant sphere formed of her Sakura cards. She closed her eyes, There has to be a way...we have to find out who Marigold is and what she is doing here... Sakura thought for a moment more, then snapped her fingers, "That's it! I know what I have to do"

She calmly walked towards the sphere and walked into it. Keroberos looked shocked, "Sakura no!" Yue tried to stop her, but she was out of his grasp. Touya bit his lip and Yue turned to him, "Keroberos has told me your part in this, what do you make of it?"

Syaoran had seen Sakura walk into the sphere; he got up and ran over to it. He slammed his fist up against it, it zapped him and he flew backwards again. "No! She's trapped in there!"

Touya remained calm, "That means that she is supposed to be in there, and we aren't."

Syaoran clenched his fists and ran at Touya, "How can you be so calm!? Your own sister is in there and you act as if you don't care!"

Touya shook his head, "I care, but I also know that Sakura knows how to take care of herself."

Touya closed his eyes and heard Yue, Keroberos, and Syaoran trying to find a way to get Sakura out of there. They forgot about Marigold, Marigold has something to do with this and I need to know what it is. A red light formed around Touya, and for the first time in years, he took hold of the pendant that had been around his neck since that day in the cave.

He felt it's warmth and then saw his pendant glowing a brighter red than he had ever seen before. I need to get in there to help Sakura and Marigold, I have the power to get in there and I'm ready to use it. Touya took a step towards the sphere, then another, and another. He got right up next to it before anyone else realized what he was doing.

Keroberos eyes widened, "Touya, not you too!"

And with that, despite the protests of Syaoran, Yue, and Keroberos, Touya walked into the Sphere.
