-Naoko
Jeez.. You could at least say something worthwhile.
-Sakura
Like what? They don't own it?
-Kuri-chan
Wow.. That was a short little authoressesssessesssess note.
-Naoko
And you just made it longer.
-Sakura
@.o WANNA FIGHT PUNK?!?
-Naoko
YEAH!! COME ON!! LETS TAKE THIS INSIDE!!
-Sakura
OK!!
-Naoko
How about we fight after the chappy, ne?
-Sakura
OK!!
-Naoko
"Yes your highness," Yukito said as he bowed.
"Now go," Prince Touya said, waving his hand.
Yukito left the castle. When he was safely away, he transformed into a being with long white hair and wings. Yue. "Now I will be able to find them more easily," he said. He took off into the air and searched for quite some time, but to no avail.
"Perhaps Sir Eriol and one of his stooges (A/N TEEHEE!! Stooge! -Naoko) will know where to look." Yue said and took off towards Eriol's domain.
When he got closer to Eriol's fortress, he landed and transformed back into Yukito. He entered the castle and sent some of his servants to look for him. After about fifteen minutes he was escorted into a large room with a nice, biiig fire place. Nice for roasting marshmallows in. (A/N Oops! Wrong time. hehe! -Sakura) (A/N maaajor sugar high! -Naoko)
"Sir Eriol, I request your assistance in a mission that King Touya has sent me on," Yukito said and bowed to a chair in the shadows.
"Tell me about this mission." A voice, no doubt coming from the chair, said.
"Yes Sir. He believes that Duke Syaoran and his group are conspiring against him with the outlaw Sakura and her band. He wants the Duke arrested if he meets up with Sakura." Yukito said.
"Alright then, I will help you," Eriol said and stood up and left the shadows.
"Thank you very much, Sir Eriol. Your help is much appreciated." Yukito said.
"Nakuru, Spinal Sun, come here. We have a mission." Eriol said.
A door opened behind his seat and a girl in a long dress and a small, flying cat emerged.
"Yes, Sir Eriol? What do you need us to do?" The girl asked him.
"I need you to help me track the Duke Syaoran. It is believed that he is planning treason with Sakura's band," Eriol said to them.
The girl glanced at the cat. "Isn't that dangerous?" she asked. "Spying on royalty?"
"The king commanded it," the knight said shortly.
The Nakuru's eyes widened.
"We will be working with Yukito, the king's advisor," Eriol said and gestured him. "He will help us capture the group if necessary."
"That means we'll have to use magic, doesn't it?" Spinal Sun asked.
Yukito nodded.
"Well, let's go!" Nakuru cried.
"Nakuru, you and Spinal Sun go and get what is needed for the trip. I must have a word with Yukito." Eriol commanded them.
The two nodded and left.
Eriol stared at the closed door for a couple of seconds. "This has something more to do with than treason, doesn't it?" he asked Yukito.
"Yes," Yukito said. "Sakura has been a thorn in the king's side for quite some time. Other than the fact that she is always stealing from him and his allies, she puts quite a strain on his. magical monopoly. He controls almost all other types of magic, except hers."
Eriol raised an eyebrow. "He has the power to use the Cards?"
"It is entirely possible," Yukito answered. "He does have some magic, and if it is not enough, I have to power to control some of them. The other half are commanded by another guardian, which we have in custody. And as for the Duke, well, let us just say that the two have never really gotten along."
"Ahh," Eriol said. "Well, you had better get leave soon then."
Yukito nodded. "Lord," he said, bowed, and left.

Sakura was sitting quietly on the ground, waiting for Syaoran in the appointed place. Her companions were standing before her, talking quietly. Sakura seemed deep in thought. Suddenly, she said, "You guys, I have a feeling that this might go wrong."
Rika looked surprised. "Would Syaoran --"
Sakura interrupted her. "No, he would never betray us. I just. have a feeling that someone might try to interfere."
No one said anything.
"Maybe we could prepare an ambush or something, in case something bad does happen," Meling said after a bit.
Sakura opened her mouth as if to say something, then closed it. "I think it would be better if you all went home," she said finally.
All of the other girls looked outraged.
Before anyone else could say anything, Sakura said, "I can take care of myself."
"Shouldn't someone stay with you?" Tomoyo asked.
Sakura thought for a minute. "You're right," she said reluctantly. "Meling would you mind staying with me? You can fight really well, if worse comes to worst."
Meling nodded and stepped forward to join her friend. Tomoyo turned and slowly led the rest of them back towards their camp.
Meling sided over to Sakura and whispered, "Is it a Clow Card?"
Sakura shook her head. "I sence another type of power. I also have a bad feeling about this meeting. I'm afraid that this magic might try to hurt us."
Meling sighed. "Yet another person trying to harm the princess of thieves."
"No, I don't think it's that," Sakura said slowly. "I think this has something to do with Syaoran and politics."
"Why do you think that?" Meling asked.
"I knew Syaoran before I moved here. We were childhood friends," Sakura said. "The Li family is extremely powerful and I think that Prince Touya would be extremely glad to be rid of them."
Meling stared at her, astonished. "So, the Duke DID rescue us. He knew you! The second ambush we did on his caravan. it all makes sense now!" she grinned wickedly. "He looooooves you!"
Sakura turned bright red.
Suddenly they heard a branch crack. Syaoran, Takashi, and two guards appeared.
One of the guards stopped. "Naoko isn't here!" Sakaguchi cried in dismay.
"He begged to come along." Syaoran explained.
The other guard stared at Meling. He seemed to be in awe. "I think I know the reason why you guys always seem to get out of trouble."
Meling snorted. "It's because all the people in charge there are idiots!"
"No, its cuz you guys are so pretty that no one can stand to keep you in captivity!"
Meling turned red.
Sakura grinned and jabbed her in the ribs. "Who loves someone else now?" she muttered.
Syaoran, who had been watching this exchange, turned to Sakura. "What is it that you wanted to meet me here for?" He asked. (A/N: sound familiar? -Sakura)
Yue, Eriol, Nakuru, and Spinal Sun had been watching the meeting in the protection of the trees.
"I think that it is time to interfere," Yue said. The group stepped out.
Sakura and Co. turned to Yue and Co. (A/N ahhh. abbreviations. don't ya just love em? -Sakura) Yue stepped forward. "Duke Syaoran you are under arrest for treason by dealing with outlaws."
Syaoran looked astonished.
Eriol pulled out his wand and chanted:
Wand of Night, Hear my plight. Use your magic to bind These enemies of mine!
Streams of magic left the wand and bound and gagged Syaoran, Takashi, and the two guards. Eriol turned to Sakura and Meling.
"You," Yue said, "Shall be killed on account of being enemies of the king!"
Sakura pulled out her key and turned it into the Rod of Capture. She then used the Fly Card to whisk herself and Meling out of harm's way.
When they were high above the canopy of trees, Meling said, "So they were this power you sensed."
"Yeah," Sakura said. She looked extremely worried. "We'll have to rescue them." She turned her rod towards camp.
AHHHHHHHH!!! More suspence! Can you STAND it?
-Naoko
Heh heh. I hope that giving Meling a potential boyfriend isn't too much..
-Sakura
Why? She never gets anyone in other fan ficcies.
-Naoko
Neither does Naoko for that matter
-Naoko
By golly, youre right! What do the readers think? *is obviously giving a hint to answer the questions in a review.*
Gee. I guess we don't have to ask them to review now. They're OBLIGATED to!
-Naoko
Yeah! By the Reader's Code of Law! *holds up a piece of paper with scribbles all over it* See! It says here, *starts "reading" slowly* "All readers have to review to answer a question or the evil Kuroneko will hunt them down because he knows where they live and he knows when they're asleep, and he knows if they've been bad or good, so be good for goodness sake!"
-Sakura
We get the point.
-Naoko
. LEAVE ME OUT OF THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-Kuri-chan
Jeez. now I have to add another disclaimer. THEY DON'T OWN THAT CHRISTMAS SONG "SANTA CLAUSE IS COMING TO TOWN!" THE DUDE OR CHICK THAT WROTE IT OWNS IT!!!
-Kuri-chan
^^.^^ yay! Politically correct!
-Naoko
*tutts* it's a sad world that we live in where a cat has to be politically correct in order not to be sued.
-Sakura
Maybe he was just trying to be nice
