Author's Note: Sorry about the cliffhanger!!! Don't forget to read the note below and at the end of the chapter. It's important!
Everything in italics means the casts' thoughts except for the note, which I also wrote in italics.
Last Chapter:
Sakura immediately went to work. She reached out of Eriol and Syaoran's aura and covered them up. The two felt some tingly sensation and noticed that they were surrounded by pink aura. They don't know what happened. The man was coming nearer and nearer. Sakura was getting very tense. The four were really confused. Eriol was about to ask Sakura but she shot him a don't-ask-anything-explain-later look. He immediately shut his mouth.
The man was only a few feet away…..
Chapter 12: The Three Mysterious Women
When the man was already standing in front of them, he just glared at Sakura. As he passed by, the tension faded. Sakura looked back at where the man came from. She saw that there were still many men with dark aura in there.
"Come on. We better leave this place." Sakura ordered.
Eventhough they find the situation confusing, they obeyed.
"Let's go to my house. It's the nearest." Tomoyo volunteered.
They walked towards Tomoyo's house. Silence engulfed them. Each of them was deep in thought.
'What was that?' Meilin thought.
'How did Sakura sense our magic eventhough we already covered it up?' Eriol thought.
'I hope everything will be fine.' Tomoyo thought.
'Is there a new enemy we need to face?' Syaoran thought.
'I better put down my aura.' she masked her aura a bit slowly so that her companions wouldn't notice something. 'They've found us earlier than I expect. I need to tell them what is happening so that they would be more careful. I think I need to tell them who I am.' Sakura thought.
'Mistress…' a mysterious voice said in Sakura's head..
'Light? Is that you?' she asked.
'Yes, Mistress. It is I, the Light Card. It is not yet time to tell them who you really are. If you tell them, something will go wrong. It might cause the end of your life…'
'Don't worry Light. I understand.'
"Sakura, are you alright?" Syaoran asked worriedly.
"Huh? I'm fine. I kinda space out." Sakura replied.
"We're here." Tomoyo announced. "Let's go inside."
Tomoyo led them into a well furnished living room. She motioned them to sit on the couch.
"I know you're all waiting for an explanation." Sakura said. "First, I'm gonna ask you something. Did you sense a dark aura a while ago?"
The four shook their head no.
"Did you?" Eriol asked.
"Yes. It was very faint." Sakura said.
"How come you feel it and we don't?" Meilin asked.
"Well, he hid his aura very well but I can easily recognize auras that's why I noticed him." Sakura said.
"When we were there, I felt a pink aura surround me. What was that?" Syaoran asked.
"It was my aura. I tried to cover up for your aura so that he won't recognize yours. Remember when he glared at me?"
They nodded. They saw how the man glared at Sakura. It was creepy and terrifying.
"He noticed my aura but he paid no heed to it and don't worry I already removed my aura around you." Sakura said.
"Well, if he ignored your aura, we do why need to mask ours if he'll just ignore it?" Tomoyo asked.
"That man works for a guy named Akana. I still can't tell you but I'm gonna tell you a part of a story. But Tomoyo knows the whole story. You still can't know the whole story though."
The attention of the four immediately went to Sakura eventhough Tomoyo already knows it but she still can't understand some part of it.
"Akana was after the Clow family, which means that he is after you. He wanted to be the most powerful magician and he thought by putting an end to the Clow family, he'll get what he want." His gaze went towards Eriol. "You are the half of Clow. The other half was already dead with his son. Now, he wants to finish you."
"How about his descendants, like me?" Syaoran asked.
Sakura's eyes widen. "You're one of Clow's descendent?"
Syaoran nodded.
'Oh no! So I am right. I thought I just felt that his powers are just like Eriol. With him having the same amount of magic with Eriol, will Akana go after him too? If he wants to be the most powerful, he also needs to defeat Syaoran and me. But why does he ignore us. Argg!!! I hate not knowing what he wants from us.'
"I think he's just after Eriol because he assumed that…." Before she could finish what she was going to say, a note flew towards them. It was dropped in Eriol's lap.
The note said:
Beware half of Clow. I will come after you. As soon as your life ends, I will be the strongest of all!!! No body can stop me.
Akana
"So, I am right." Sakura confirmed. A while ago, she was still confused what Akana wants from them. Now, she is sure that he wants to be the most powerful but in order to be the most powerful, he must put an end to our family. "He is after you so that he can be the most powerful magician of all."
"But Syaoran and I have the same amount of magic." Eriol said.
"That's the next problem. If he discovered that one of Clow's descendant had the power which may overcome him other than Clow, he may also put an end to his life." Sakura said.
"So, it means that once Akana discovered that I have that magic, he may come after me too." Syaoran asked.
Sakura nodded sadly.
"Hey, guys!" Tomoyo said wanting to stop the awkwardness of the situation. "We're just going to get something to drink." Then she turned to Meilin and Sakura. "Come on you two!" she dragged them towards the kitchen.
While the three were walking, Tomoyo decided to use her Star magic to be able to communicate with Sakura. At first, she hesitated for she didn't know what Meilin's kind of magic was but she made up her mind.
'Sakura?'
'Tomoyo? Is that you?'
'Yup! It's me. Why don't you tell them that your Eriol's half daughter?'
Meilin felt that magic was at work. She concentrated and heard what Sakura and Tomoyo were talking through minds though she didn't hear the first part.
'I can't. Light warned me not to. She said it might cause my death and if I die, I can't help them in the coming battle against him.'
'I understand but why is Akana isn't after you? After all, you're a member of the Clow family.'
They heard Meilin gasp.
"Meilin, what's wrong?" Tomoyo asked worriedly.
'I'm sorry you guys. I guess you forgot to block your thoughts and unfortunately, I also have Star magic.' Meilin said apologetically.
Tomoyo and Sakura's jaws dropped. It meant that Meilin heard what they were talking about.
'Please don't tell them what you've heard. You already know why I can't tell them.' Sakura pleaded.
'Yes I know but I didn't get it when Tomoyo said that you're a part of the Clow family.' Meilin said.
'Oh! Sakura's Eriol's half-daughter.' Tomoyo said calmly.
'What?! Then that means you're the daughter of the other half.' Meilin said.
Sakura nodded.
'But why isn't Akana after you?' Meilin asked.
Sakura sighed. 'That's one thing that has been bothering me. I don't know why he keeps on ignoring me. That night when he attacked us, he didn't aim for me purposely. He always aims for my father or my brother.'
First, they blocked all their thoughts and thought of some reasons.
'I can still remember the story my mother used to tell me. Clow and his two sons. They were very powerful but one time someone attacked them. He almost killed them but he failed. They lived but he came again another time. At that time, Clow and his sons were not prepared. They lost the battle and the man leaved them triumphantly. And now, the half-reincarnation of Clow is dead and so is his son. Then next is Eriol. Wait! Maybe, Akana thought history is just repeating itself. He may think he also needed to kill the three most important persons in the Clow lineage, and that is the two reincarnation of Clow and his son. Before, Clow has two sons but because Clow was reincarnated into two, he only had one son. That's it!
'Sakura! I think I got it. Let's go outside and talk about it.' Meilin said.
'Okay! Hey, Tomoyo! Let's go outside.' Sakura said.
'Okay! But first, let's bring the refreshments we promised for Eriol and Syaoran.' Tomoyo said.
While the girls were talking, Syaoran and Eriol were also having their own conversation.
"You know what? I think Sakura's hiding something from us." Eriol said.
"I know. I can feel it, too. But I think she's hiding it cause she has her own reasons. If she's in danger, I think she'll tell us. Maybe it's just something personal." Syaoran said.
"Yeah, maybe. I wonder what Sakura's magic is." Eriol said curiously.
"I bet she's really powerful. Do you think she's even more powerful than us?" Syaoran asked.
"I don't know. At first, I felt that she was a little bit weaker than Tomoyo and Meilin but after she felt the aura and protected us from that mysterious guy, I felt that she's even more powerful than us four [AN: I mean Tomoyo, Meilin, Eriol and Syaoran] combined." Eriol said.
Syaoran sighed.
"I feel the same. But we could be wrong you know?" Syaoran said.
Eriol nodded.
"Everything gets more and more confusing." Eriol said.
They were interrupted when the girls came back with their drinks.
"Hey guys! We're going outside to the gardens. We're gonna talk about, you know, girl stuffs!" Tomoyo exclaimed and ran towards the door.
"See ya later!" Meilin and Sakura said as they ran after Tomoyo not waiting for answers.
"And by the way," Tomoyo said as she poked her head to the door, "you can go to the training hall. Eriol knows the way. Bye!"
Eriol and Syaoran shook their heads and mumbled "Girls."
"Come on! Let's go to the hall. We can practice there." Eriol said and stand up.
"Okay." Syaoran also stand up.
They just arrived at the hall when they saw three women standing right in front of them. All of them have long hairs gathered up in a ponytail. They were staring at them intensely as if they could see through their souls.
"Eriol, what's happening here?" Syaoran whispered.
"I don't know either." Eriol replied.
The two stood in a fighting stance ready to fight back in case the three women attack.
Back to the girls…
"Here! Let's sit here." Tomoyo said as she pointed towards a bench in the middle of the garden.
"What was it that you figured out, Meilin?" Sakura asked.
"Well," Meilin started. "when I was –" she was interrupted by Sakura.
"Wait! I feel someone. We better get back to the boys." Sakura said. "Come on. They may need our help."
The two nodded and followed Sakura as she ran back towards the house.
Author's Note: Again, another cliffhanger!!! It seems that I love cliffhanger these days. What does Light mean when she said that it might cause the end of Sakura's life? What is going on???? Sakura's abilities are beginning to show. What else can she do? If you're confused of something, just email me or put it in your reviews! And about the discovery of Meilin, I think I'll just have to explain it further on the next chapter. Who are those three ladies Eriol and Syaoran saw? What are they going to do? What are the three women up to? I'll update next week. Don't forget to review and thanks to all those who reviewed! By the way, if you want me to post immediately, tell me in your reviews. And if I got enough reviews, I'll post immediately. I already have Chapter 13 with me.
