The Forgotten Magic: Chapter Ten

The End of The Beginning

Daeria stared down at Sakura, "Do you understand little Miss Cardcaptor? You're to bring me all seven stars, and your brother Autumn's pendant, then in return, Spring will be let free."

Sakura grew pale, "How am I to find them all?"

"Hui will guide you, I've given her a map and instructions."

"Does that mean that I'll leave the dream world?"

"Yes, but keep in mind, Spring can die at any time. All I have to do is snap my fingers and then your friend is dead."

"Alright then, I'll do it."

Hui stood by Sakura, ready to go. Daeria closed her eyes, "Spring has removed the blocking for only you and Hui to go out. I would much rather collect them myself, but Spring insisted that she would only let you and Hui go. It'll be faster anyhow."

The black-eyed man entered the room and bowed before Daeria, "Great Daeria, here is the star necklace that you asked for."

"Thank-you. You may leave now."

The black-eyed man left and Daeria handed the necklace to Sakura, "This is the star necklace of the ancient magicians. Each star that you collect will place itself on a chain as a star charm. Hui will provide you with the basics to accumulate the stars."

Sakura nodded her head, Daeria smiled, "Perhaps I will keep you if you do end up being helpful in this."

Daeria closed her eyes and a chanted in a foreign language that Sakura couldn't understand. Her eyes opened and she pointed at Sakura and Hui.

Sakura, frightened, shut her eyes as a bright light surrounded her. When she opened her eyes, she found herself in her own bedroom with Hui.

Hui looked around herself, "I haven't been in the real world for so long"

Sakura's glimmered, "I'm home?"

She ran about her room, "I'M HOME!!!!"

Touya, Tomoyo, Kero, and Syaoran, who were in the kitchen, heard the blissful cry.

Touya glanced at the others, "It can't be"

They ran to Sakura's room. Syaoran was the first to spot her, "SAKURA! YOU'RE OKAY!" He ran to her and hugged her tight, "Don't ever ever scare me like that again."

Sakura coughed, "Hoeeeee! Syaoran! You're choking me!"

Everyone laughed and gave Sakura one big hug all together. Hui, standing two or three feet away from the big hug group, had a sweat-drop fall down her shoulders. Touya pulled himself apart from the group, "Sakura, where's Spring? Did Daeria-"

Touya cut himself off, "Hui?"

Sakura smiled and pushed everyone away, "Everyone meet Hui!"

Touya glared at Hui and his pendant glowed brightly, "I didn't expect to see you here."

Sakura looked at Tomoyo, "Umwhat's that?" She pointed at Tomoyo's dress.

"Don't go there with we Sakura!"

Sakura decided to try and let it go, so she placed her attention on Hui and Touya. Touya was glaring madly at her, while she looked at him with those big sad eyes and took careful steps backwards as Touya advanced step by step.

"UmI take it you two know each other?" Kero motioned from Hui to Touya.

Touya nodded grimly, "Yes. Unfortunately."

Hui took some steps backwards and tripped over one of Kero's video games. She fell to the floor and backed up against the wall with her arms wrapped around her legs. Hui closed her eyes, I'm sorry Touya...

Kero yelped, "No! That was Freemun Racer 6000! Awwww."

"She's Daeria's sister."

Syaoran ran at her, "You're her sister? Your sister took Sakura?"

Kero and Tomoyo pulled him back.

Sakura stared at her shoes, who to take sides with, her new friend or her brother?

Touya stared at Hui, "Why are you here."

Sakura pulled Touya, Kero, Tomoyo, and Syaoran aside and tried to explain what had happened in the dream world.

Hui sat totally still while Sakura quietly talked to the group.

Touya walked back to Hui and held his hand out to her. Hui looked up and grasped his hand as he helped her up.

Tomoyo sighed with relief, "I'm glad that's over with"

Kero closed his eyes, "It's not over, it's just the end of the beginning."
