Chapter 7: The Battle Begins
*~*~*~* Ispep's POV:
Approx. five minutes before Sakura was grabbed
"What do you mean she's been reunited with her sister?!" I was beyond angry when Arukas informed me that Diov turned on me.
"He's fallen in love with her. When she used her powers on her own, he took her to her sister, instead of here, m'lord." Arukas stayed back.
Right then, a thought came to me, "Send Asiva to kill her sister. Then have Asiva bring the girl to me!" Arukas was gone instantly.
*~*~*~* Third Person POV:
"Help!" Sakura screamed while being pulled into the trees. The four people still on the ground looked on helplessly. Suddenly Sage started gathering her energy and blasting the tree. When she finished and the dust cleared, the tree was still in-tact. everyone looked on in complete surprise.
"Sakura!!!" Yue flew up to the branches of the tree, but couldn't see anything.
Syaoran was the next to try attacking, but he couldn't even get close, the trees all had a barrier protecting them.
*~*~*~* Diov's POV:
"WHAT?!" It felt like Sage's power, in overdrive, "Why is she using her powers?!" I started back in the direction of everyone.
*~*~*~* Sakura's POV:
"What is going on?" I demanded. There was a small, human-looking creature standing in front of me.
"I'm Asiva, a forest sprite." The creature bowed and then smiled sweetly, "I was sent to kill you and take your sister."
Standing in front of me, Asiva reached about two feet in height. Her hair was several shades of green, like the sunlight hitting the ground through the leaves of the tall trees. Her eyes were little orbs of black with green swirled in throughout. I couldn't see any clothes on her, but she didn't look like she didn't have anything on. Her skin took on the color of the leaves around us.
We were inside the tree, I think. It was a small, simple, square room where the tree's branches or the tree itself created the walls and floor. The bottom half of the walls were just plain wood while the top half of the walls was covered in leaves. The ceiling was also covered with dark, lush, green leaves.
"What do you mean? And where are we?" I put a hand over my pendent, ready to call upon it if needed.
"We are in another dimension, inside a tree. And I mean this!" She reached out her hand and clenched her fist as if grabbing something. Then a tendril of wood wrapped around me.
I called out the chant to call forth my staff:
" Key of the Star,
With powers burning bright,
Reveal the staff
And Shine your light!
RELEASE!"
Calling upon the staff was enough to pull me from the grips of the wood tendril. I faced her, prepared to fight. Next, she used more tendrils of wood to trap me. I called upon the wood card and tuned the tree against her. Instead of me being pinned down by the living wood, it was her.
"I give up! Please don't hurt me!" Asiva cried out from her precarious position.
""Leave us alone and answer my question and you will be spared." I looked at her small face, "Who sent you?"
"Ispep! Ispep sent me!" She answered in her high voice before vanishing with everything. I was set on the ground gently where everyone surrounded me.
*~*~*~* Eriol's POV:
When Sakura returned to us unharmed, other then a small scratch on her arm, everyone was relieved, including me.
"What happened up there?" Tomoyo was looking at the new hole in Sakura's pants, "And how did you get that awful hole in your pants?!"
I looked at Tomoyo helplessly and shook my head. She was the only one I knew who would be able to think about clothes at a time like this. But, I guess, that is one of the things I love about her along with all her other strange habits and qualities.
Sakura went over and sat on the ground next to the fire and told her story. She told what Asiva had said and who had sent the little forest sprite and about their small fight.
During Sakura's story, I looked over at Tomoyo to see her bright violet eyes shining. Her long black hair showed as silky as ever, with a slight curl at the end. When she stood up after the story to go to bed, she stood about 5'4". She bushed her bangs back, but they fell right back where they had been, right above her eyes which were now dull with sleepiness. Her white shirt had light purple trimmings and was slightly ruffled when she laid down. Her pants, a violet color, were wrinkle free, even after such a long, hard day.
'I wonder how she keeps her clothes so perfect…' I soon drifted off to sleep myself, after everyone else, other then Yue and Ruby, was already sleeping.
