Truth of your Reflection
Sakura sat up and stared into the blue eyes of a long-white-haired man staring in at her.
"Yueh! You could at least wait until-" But the Guardian cut her off in mid-sentence.
"Sakura, you have to come with me, now."
"Uh...Okay... Where are we going?"
"No time for questions. Bring the cards." Yueh wasn't always the one who made the most sense. Mind you, Kero made even less at times. She nodded in agreement and shook the sleeping Kero awake.
"Hey! What's the-" Kero looked at Sakura, and then at Yueh, and then again at Sakura.
"Oh! We're having a party! But where is all the food? Where's the pudding?" Sakura laughed in spite of herself.
"Kero, this isn't a party... But Yueh wants to show us something..." Just then the phone rang. They all jumped. It was 1:00 in the morning! Who called at THIS time?
Mind you, then again, who woke you up at 1:00 in the morning? Yueh I guess.. Sakura thought to herself before she motioned towards the phone.
"H-hello?" Someone answered, in a hushed tone of voice.
"Is that Sakura?"
"Yes.. Why are you calling me, Li?"
"Something weird is going on.... Three people are standing outside my door, demanding to be let in...."
"Well obviously you shouldn't let them in..."
"Well I told them to go away, but they won't..."
"Hang on, I'll be right there, Leave a window open for me, okay?"
"All right... But hurry."
Sakura put down the phone. She told Kero and Yueh what had happened, and that she would have to go there first, and Yueh, (to whom she apologized several times,) would have to wait to show her what was going on.
"Star Card.... Release!" She took The Fly and zoomed out her bedroom window with Kero close behind. When she arrived at Li's, and flew in through the open window, Sakura looked at him and blushed. They were both still in pyjama's. Li muttered in his embarrassment something she couldn't understand.
"It's okay Li..." He smiled shyly and nodded. A loud banging came from behind the blushing boy, and it seemed to be coming from behind his locked door.
"Let us in! ....We won't hurt you...." Li took a step back. Sakura could tell this was going to be trouble. "Stay back!" She screamed, her voice failing her false bravery.
"Kero.... Get Yueh.."
"Way ahead of you kid." A tall man stepped out of the shadows. Sakura let out a sigh of relief.
"Yueh!" She ran over to him and hugged him. Yueh, Li, and Kero all sweat-dropped.
"Um... Sakura?" Li tapped her on the shoulder. "We kinda have a problem here."
"Right." She blushed. "Sorry." She walked over to the door. "Who are you?" A slightly familiar voice seeped through the shut door.
"Who wants to know?"
"I do. My name is Sakura."
"Sakura huh? Well, well, well... This is a surprise... Ruby? Would you do the honours? After all... Ladies first."
"Certainly." Outside the door, Eli and Spinner waited while Ruby stepped up to the door. "You see..."
Ruby cleared her throat. "Sakura, you are a very special person...." Sakura narrowed her eyes.
"What do you mean?" A troubled Sakura trembled. Ruby laughed.
"You already know what I mean." She replied. Li stared at Sakura and blushed when she turned around, facing him..
"What....?" Sakura was really curious by now.
"You already know what I mean." She laughed again. "You see-" But Eli interrupted before she finished.
"You will have to find out on your own." Eli cautioned. Spinner laughed in response.
"Aw... Poor little Cardcaptors and their pathetic guardians." Spinner retorted.
"Hey!" Kero yelled out. "Who are you?!?" Yueh turned and faced the door.
"That's for me to know and you to find out." Spinner laughed.
"Goodbye for now, Sakura," Eli paused. "Goodbye Li." And then they were gone.
"Well that was weird....." Muttered the indignant Kero. Yueh turned back to Sakura.
"Well I had wanted to show you something... But it looks like it found you." Sakura nodded.
"Well Li... It's kinda late, I should go back home."
"All right. I'll see you tomorrow." He tossed her something in a bag. Don't open it until you get home. It's a present."
Sakura nodded. "Okay..." She quickly made a victory sign, and laughed briefly before turning back to Li. "See you later Li." She jumped out the window, and Kero followed, with Yueh close behind.
Sakura crawled up the stairs and flopped down onto her bed. She wouldn't have any trouble falling asleep tonight. At least that was clear. Unlike everything else that had happened since she opened the clowbook on that fateful day... But Sakura was tired and didn't feel like thinking about such things. She pulled the covers over her shoulders and drifted into an uneasy sleep. What had that person... 'Ruby' was it? What had she meant? And why did that person sound like Eli?
Sakura was running through a field. She had no idea what she was doing there. No one else was there, unless you counted the dragonflies here and there. She gasped. Her mom was there.
"M-mom?" Natasha smiled.
"Yes." Her voice echoed throughout the field.
"What...? Who...? How...?"
"Hush now. I have to talk to you about something very important."
"What is it mom?" Sakura replied, now listening intently.
"I don't have much time. But soon, you will have to make a difficult choice. I'm not sure what it will be... But I know that it will be a tiring adventure."
"But when I wake up.... Won't I forget?"
"Of course not Sakura. I've made sure of that." Her mother's eyes glinted mischievously. "Farewell, my daughter." And with those last words, Sakura fell into an even deeper sleep. One from which she wouldn't remember anything else. Sakura would also not find it weird the next morning, when she found a shiny new mirror on her desk.
"Sakura!" Tori shouted down the hall. "Sakura! Wake up!" She pulled the pillow over her head. "Come on. Sakura! You're going to be late!" She sat bolt upright.
"Late!" She muttered. "I'm always late!" She jumped out of bed onto the cold floor, and ran downstairs, just pulling on her socks as she stuffed a piece of toast into her mouth. She shouted a muffled Thanks for the food, and goodbye dad! and ran outside, roller blades and all. She rushed after her already racing brother, on his bike.
"Tori!" She gasped. "You could have waited!" Sakura glared at her brother on his bike.
"And wait for a monster who wolfs down her food? No thanks." He taunted. Sakura muttered something under her breath as they met up with Julian. Everything was right in the world just then. She took in the sweet smell of his hair and the rich smell of his clothes and sighed. He smelled of spices. Spices and flowers.
"H-hi Julian.." She stammered.
"Hey Sakura. You look tired. Have you been getting enough sleep?" He smiled. She loved it when he smiled.
"Yes... I'm fine." She replied, blushing slightly while her heart soared.
They screeched to a stop in front of Sakura's school just as the bell rang, and she decided there was no time for formalities, she'd have to just go. She skated off.
Sakura walked into her class right on time. She received an inquisitive look from the boy at the back who had asked her for the very cards she now had in her possession. Li. But she dismissed it entirely when the teacher, Mr. Terada called their attention to the front of the class. Sakura slipped into her seat.
"Class, we have a special presentation today." Excited whispers filled the air. "From one Sakura Avalon." Sakura blinked and then stared.
"Me?" She pointed to herself and sweat-dropped.
"Yes. Today your assignment was due."
"On the animal of our choice, right?" She asked, still in her seat.
"Yes. Are you ready?" Sakura laughed at herself in her head. She completely forgot! She was ready at least. She had thought the presentation was tomorrow. Oh well.
"Yes.. I'm ready." She pulled out a poster board and started to present on lions. Lions that kind of looked like Kero. Kero.... The guardian beast she had met..... The one that looked after the sun... And another guardian... Yueh... Or should she say Julian? He looked after the moon.. What had her mother said? She was deeply lost in thought. Which she only noticed when Mr. Terada gave her a nudge.
"OH! S-sorry" She stammered. "Where was I?"
"You were just talking about how lions marked their territory."
"Right. Eh.... When a lion wants to make sure he will have his own territory, he marks it with his scent. When another lion smells this scent, he can challenge the other lion and-" And so it went on. When she read the last of the lines she had written, everyone clapped. She blushed. She didn't normally get this much appreciation. They really seemed to mean it too.
"Thank you Sakura, please take your seat." Sakura sat back into her seat, and watched the rest of the presentations.
School was now over for the day, and Madison and Sakura were talking. Madison had decided Sakura needed a new costume if she was going to face A big decision. Sakura however REALLY didn't want to.
"Why not? When you do something special you have to look special and film it too!"
"It's embarrassing..."
"Please Sakura.....?"
"Fine. But just this once." Madison flew off the handle.
"Yes! And after this, we can design new ones for when-"
"Madison..."
"I just love making new costumes for every occasion I-"
"Madison!"
"Right... Sorry. Oh.. I have to go. My mother's coming back tonight, from all those meetings, I finally get to see her after so long!" Just then, Rita, Nikki, Chelsea, and Zachary all walked over in one big group. Rita spoke up first.
"Great presentation Sakura!"
"Yes, it was really informative!" Nikki agreed.
"It was very entertaining." Rita smiled. Then Zachary spoke up.
"Yes, very entertaining. It reminded me that the Ancient Aztecs used to keep lions as pets and would race them for fun." Sakura went wide-eyes.
"Really? Wow!"
"No, Sakura," Chelsea paused, "It's just another one of his stories!"
Ten minutes later Sakura waved goodbye and roller-bladed back to her house. She threw down her blades as she walked in the door.
"Hello! I'm home!" She yelled out into the darkened house. No answer. "Tori?" She looked in his room and found..... Nothing. He wasn't there. "Dad?" No such luck. "Kero?!?" Where was the hovering beast? Surely she wasn't the only one left in the house... She ran outside.. And then to Julian's house... "Julian?" Again, no answer. She collapsed, falling to her knees. "Where is everyone?" She was completely freaked out. She started to cry. Tears welled up in her eyes, and rolled down her cheek, and it was just then that a certain boy walked into the room.
"Sakura?" Julian crouched down beside her. "What's wrong?"
"Everyone in my house... They're all gone!"
"What are you talking about?"
"They're gone... As in not there... As in... Missing!"
"Are you sure....?" He replied, concern the only noticeable feature on his face.
"Yes!"
"All right. I'll come with you... We can check." She nodded, and the two stood up and walked back to her house. She kept her eyes on him every step he took. That's why it was so strange when he disappeared.
