Sakura is once again in her dreamscape. She sees Tomeda Elementry. On top of the building is a mysterious cloaked figure. Not much of him can be seen, only red, glowing eyes. She herself was in her school uniform, on the building as well, facing the dark form. "You, descendent of Clow Reed, will die at my hands" the figure says, pointing a gnarled finger at her. "But why?" she asks, knowing that, in the dreamscape, nothing can hurt her. "Because of Clow! I am his enemy, and since he is gone, you must be the ones to die. I am his enemy, and I will destory all who has his blood". Sakura gasped. Her father would be in danger! Sakura ran towards the cloaked figure, but it got no closer. Evil laughter erupted from its throat, a dark, maniacal laughter..........
"Nooo!!!" Sakura screamed as she sat up straight-up in bed, sweat dripping across her face. Kero-chan woke up from his room in the drawer. "Sakura, daijobu ka?" "I had a dream, Kero-chan, and not just a normal one." "Tell me about it." Sakura recounted what had happened in her dream. Kero floated around, pondering. "It's just as I feared, he's come for his revenge." Sakura looked puzzled, "You know who that cloaked figure in my dream was?" Kero nodded. "Hai. From your description, he's probably Anbaa Ashura, a necromancer from Clow's time." "Ho-eh? A necromancer?" Kero started to explain to Sakura:
"A necromancer is one who can call creatures from the dark side and from beyond the grave. Anbaa Ashura was a powerful necromancer, able to summon the most vile creatures from the deepest regions of Hell. To become a necromancer, one must make a pact with Satan himself. That is why it is said that necromancers serve the Lord of Demons himself. Clow opposed Anbaa when he had tried to take over Japan. Clow was able to defeat Anbaa using the very cards you know hold, sealing him away in an unknown cave."
"Why didn't you tell me about him?" she asked, fear spreading across her face. "It didn't seem important at the time, and I thought he'd be dead after so many centuries! But I guess being a necromancer also gives you immortality. If so, he's probably stronger then before. It's gonna be a tough fight Sakura. Clow himself could not destroy Anbaa, only seal him away. Now, after so much time, Anbaa will be stronger then ever." Sakura 'Ho-eh!'ed, absolutely frightened at the thought of having to battle the undead. "And I thought we were done with the magic business!" "Be on your guard, Sakura. You'd better tell Tomoyo and the other two about this. Tomoyo will be safe enough, but since the gaki and the 'little girl' are decendents of Clow, they'll be in trouble" "What about onii-chan and otaa- san?"Sakura asked, too worried to notice that Kero-chan had just insulted Syaoran and Meiling, again, "Yue and I can keep and eye on them."
"Now, hurry up and get changed before you get to school late again." Surprisingly, no one had come to investigate the scream. After getting ready, Sakura went down to the dining room to find her a tired looking Touya cooking breakfast. "Ohaiyo, oniichan. You don't look so good" "I just need more sleep. That scream woke me up straight away." he said through a yawn. "Why didn't you come and investigate?" "I figured you finally looked in the mirror, kaijuu." he answered, a grin across his face. Sakura tried to stomp on his foot, but he moved it just in time, causing pain to shoot up her leg. He grinned even more, "To slow, kaijuu". Sakura just "Hmph!" and sat down at the table. "Ohaiyo, okaa-san" In the picture, her mother was dressed in white, with a black ribbon around her neck. {Picture from the 'Illusion' episode}
Her mother actually looked worried. Sakura learnt long ago from her brother that those facial expressions were not to be taken lightly. Sakura just smiled, "Don't worry okaa-san, I have the Wolf, Moon and Sun to protect me," she whispered to the picture, obviously referring to Syaoran, Yue and Keroberos . After Sakura blinked, the picture had changed expession. It was smiling, altough there were wtill a few 'worry lines' visible. "Ohaiyou, Sakura-san." Sakura looked up from the picture to see her father enter. "Ohaiyo, otaa-san" Fujitaka sat down at his usual place. "Ohaiyo, Nadesiko- san" he smiled as he greeted the picture. Touya place a plate of food on three places. When they were all seated, they started to eat. "Itatakimas"
[AT SCHOOL]
"Ohaiyo, Dalong-kun" "Ohaiyo, Sakura-chan". The group was gathered in class. Sakura had found it appropriate to call him 'Dalong-kun' as he was a close friend of Syaoran's, and she had insisted that he call her 'Sakura- chan'. Besides, what did she have to fear? He was as much a gentleman as Eriol-kun, and he was also romantically involved with Meiling-chan. He had been introduced to the class earlier in the week. It was surprising that the class still had room for another addition, after Eriol AND Meiling had come back. When Sakura had asked Tereda-sensei about this, he had just shrugged, saying, "It seems a few of the students from last years 6-2 class have been moved off to other classes". Dalong had overheard this, and stifled a laugh. "If only they knew." You see, Dalong was a computer whiz, and by using his skills, was able to hack into the schools computer system and change the 7th grade class rosters.
Naoko had been asking Dalong how he had gotten to be so big when Sakura had entered the classroom. "As I was saying, I think it was probably because of genetics. My father and mother were both tall people. As for my size, I just pump some iron on the sides." This was very true. He didn't have exceptionally large muscles. They were just well defined. Naoko asked him yet another question, "Do you have any special talents?" "Well, I can play the guitar." "What kind?" "Any kind really, but I really enjoy my electric guitar." Just then the school bell rang, signalling the start of lessons. As the group dispersed, Dalong told them to meet him after school at the music room.
[After school]
"It's a good thing I brought this here today." Dalong was carrying his prize possession, a black, white electric guitar. "I didn't see you with the guitar this morning," Sakura asked. "I left this here before going to class." "Speaking of guitars," Takashi had started rambling," did you know that..." "Hai, hai." Chiharu had covered his mouth before he could finish. 'Please Dalong, play for us, before Yamazaki-kun starts taking again," Chiharu begged. Dalong laughed. He had learned from Chiharu about Takashi's tendency to tell lies. What amused him more was the fact that Syaoran and Sakura still believed what he said. "Alright, here we go."
He plugged in his guitar to the amplifier. He started to play a guitar solo of "Kotchi Wo Muite"{This song is in the character song cd and is sung by Meiling}. They were awestruck at how well he played it, even Eriol. After he finished, he got a standing ovation form all of them, especially Meiling. Dalong knew very well it was her favourite song. "Encore, encore!" Meiling shouted as she clapped her hands. He decided to play one more song. He started to play "Fruits & Candy" {Jap third season closing theme}. Again they were awe-struck and again they clapped. Naoko stood up, "Yosh! We'll form a band for the upcoming fun-fair!" She eyed the rest of the group, glasses glinting in the fading sunlight. "And I know where the other members are." she said, an evil smile slashed across her face. They all sweatdropped. "Ho... Hoo-ehh," was all Sakura could muster.
[A few weeks before the fun-fair]
"Hoo-ehh! We've been at this for two weeks straight! When can we take a break?" Sakura whined into the microphone in front of her. "Not until we get this perfect," Naoko said in a stern voice. The newly formed band was practicing in the school theatre. Naoko had made Sakura, Tomoyo and Syaoran the lead singers. Dalong was on bass guitar, Chiharu was on the drums, and Takashi was the other guitar. Meiling was on the electronic piano, Eriol was on the saxophone and Rika..... was, well, being Rika! She could only play the classical piano, which wouldn't help the group much. So, being who she is, she volunteered to make the bands refreshments. "I wish Naoko-chan would lighten up" Sakura whispered to Syaoran. Syaoran just nodded his head in agreement.
"Come on people. You've all heard these songs before. It shouldn't be THAT difficult for you too play 'Fruits & Candy'! Now, take it from the top." They started to play 'Fruits & Candy' again {those of you who have listened to the Sakura, Tomoyo and Kero version, Syaoran fills in the parts where Kero would have sang.} Luckily, they were able to perform up to Naoko's very high expectations. "Yatta! Perfect! Okay everybody, that's a wrap." Sighs of relief are heard all around the theatre. "Come on everyone." Rika calls out in her ohh-so-motherly voice, "Snacks are ready." She holds out tray of bite size sandwiches with an assortment of fillings. "Thanks Rika- chan. I wonder what we'd do without you!" Sakura says, before picking out an egg filled sandwich to sample. "Hoishii! These are delicious." "Thanks. There're my own recipes. Maybe I'll teach you someday." "Domo Arigatou Gozaimashita, Rika-chan"
It was already late when the band had finished the practice. On their way out, Naoko noticed that it was unusually foggy. "Oi, mina-san!" The rest of them turned towards her. "Nani?" "Don't you think that is just a little strange that there's so much fog?" Eriol stroked his chin. "Hmm.. In England I wouldn't have given it another thought. But since this is Japan, it is quite queer. Not only that, but we are not near any water." Sakura was holding on to Syaoran, trembling in fear of what might appear out of the fog. Suddenly, an evil laugh rang out throughout the school yard. Sakura recognized the laugh form her dreams. "He's here." She whispered to Syaoran. A dark, hunchback figure appeared out of the darkness. His face was hidden in the shadows of his cowl, red eyes glaring out of the darkness."So, children of the Clow. We meet at last." He bowed low, in a gesture of mock politeness. Eriol turned to Dalong, "Get the others out of here. We'll handle this." Dalong looked questioningly at Eriol, but turned away to carry out Eriol's request.
Only the three with magic powers were left. "Why be so polite, Anbaa, when we both know you're here to kill us?" Eriol got out his key and transformed it into his wand. Sakura summoned her wand and Syaoran his sword. Suppi- chan and Kero-chan had been hiding inside their respective owner's bag, but they now came out and changed into Spinel Sun and Keroberos. "Ahh...Keroberos. We meet again. I do not recognize the other. No matter, you all will die anyway." Two more figures appeared, to the left and right of Anbaa. One of them looked exactly like Keroberos, but it had a mane and had a pure black coat. The gem in its chest plate was also black. His wings were those of a crow. Dark feathers spread across the wings, seeming to absorb the very light from the air. The other figure was humanoid, it's hair was a black-of-night and was as long as Yue's. His fingers looked sharp, as though he could tear the flesh from bones. His clothes were of pure black as well. "As you can see, Clow, or should I say Eriol?, that you're not the only one that can create guardians. Meet Eclipse and Shadow Moon."
Eclipse was the first to speak, his voice a deep, low growl. "You will not be as lucky as Clow when he had sealed my master away in that wretched cave. He has us now." Shadow Moon spoke in a voice much like Yue's, only lower by a few decibels, "Where Yue is Judge, I am Executioner," He pointed a finger at the three, "YOUR executioner!". Anbaa removed a key from his neck. The head of the key was a skull. "Key which unlocks the secret of the dead, reveal to me your true power. I, Anbaa Ashura, order you under our unholy contract, Release!" The key extended into a large staff, matching the length and size of Eriol's. A skull stood atop the tip of the staff. The sign of the pentagram, the unholy symbol, appeared under Anbaa. "Rise once again, my undead minions. Heed the call of thy master."
Slowly, bodies emerged from the ground. Long, mournful moans escaped the lips of these creatures. They slowly rambled towards the three descendents of Clow, smelling the blood of their long dead enemy. Sakura, though scared out of her wits, stood her ground, Syaoran's presence lending her courage. "Firey, burn those undead creatures!" She released the Firey and burned some of the zombies. The others followed her lead, burning, blasting and electrifying the undead monsters. But it was to no avail, for every zombie they destroyed, more would rise up to take it's place. "They're to many off them!" Sakura screamed, nearly at tears. "So I've noticed" was the reply she got from Syaoran. Just as it seemed they were going to be overwhelmed by the sheer number.........
Haha! A cliffhanger! That's one way to make sure that you all come back and read the next installation. A few words from Eriol and Meiling:
Eriol: Some of you might be surprised that Meling-san and I can play musical instruments.
Meiling: Well, since I ahem okay, okay. Since we wanted to be in this fic, Dalaofu made it a requirement to be able to play a musical instrument as he needed as many as he could get into the band. And Rika really can play classical piano.
Eriol: But since we aren't playing any of the slow songs, she wasn't really needed. Besides, she's doing what she does best. takes a bite from a sandwich Umai!!!
Meiling: See you all next chapter!
Give me your praises and criticisms. Both are equally appreciated.
