*** CHAPTER FIVE: And You Thought That Was Bad. ***
Sakura
"No," Syaoran said. "It's too risky."
"What's the risk? All I will be doing is making a new card. It's not like I'm going for a swim in shark infested waters." Sakura replied, her hands resting on her hips in defiance. She didn't know why he was so worried, it was no big deal. Just making a new card.
"Sakura," Tomoyo whispered. "Syaoran's right, it is dangerous, you shouldn't do this. You might get hurt."
So far only Kero was not talking on the topic, he floated in the air slighly back away from the chattering the group.
"Not even for Eriol?" Sakura taunted. Tomoyo blushed and found something else to look at, which happened to be Syaoran.
Sakura continued, " I'm going to do this-the two of you can't stop me. Now will you help me or just get in my way?"
They fell silent and looked at each other as tension filled the room. To Sakura it was almost as if they were looking into each other's eyes; she felt a pang of jealousy. Finally Kero spoke up, slightly startling Sakura.
"We will need certain herbs and stones first, but after that, it's all up to you. And your core potential." He looked at Syaoran.
" Gesalt, kudzu, athmest, and passiflora incarnata. Do you have them?"
Silence made and entrance and filled the room to capacity again. Briefly, Sakura wondered if Syaoran didn't have them. If he didn't, the whole plan would go up in smoke. Tomoyo's face mirrored Sakura's own thoughts exactly, this did not comfort her at all.
Syaoran spoke up quietly, " my mother could teleport them here if I asked."
He looked into her eyes making her knees weaken " and I will ask her."
Sakura found some strength and returned his steady gaze, two emeralds sparkled happilly from their sockets. She opened her mind and reached out to his gently.
# Thank you Syaoran, you have no idea how much this means to me.#
He blushed, probably from her intruding in his mind, she thought.
# No problem Sakura.I would do-#
He stopped his train of thought and suddenly broke off. Leaving Sakura confused, but still happy that he would help her.
She smiled at him with ease, "after this Eriol won't be in your house any more. Won't you be happy then!"
He smiled back and nodded, they both knew he almost hated Eriol. Even though he had never hated anyone in his entire life. Her smiles also had a tendancy to make others smile compulsively.
She asked him gently, "can you call your mother now?"
Sakura was completely alone in Syaoran's bedroom, his bed was pushed to the wall along with all the other furnature. She sat on her knees on the wood floor, a bowl of poultice on her right and two sheets of blank white paper on her left; and a spool of thread in the middle. The paper was roughly about the size of her Sakura Cards. And the poultice was the ground up and moist materials of the ingredients Syaoran's mother had given them.
She was ready to begin.
Taking a small scoop of the poultice in her hand she felt the tips of her fingers tingle faintly. She patted the poultice down onto one of the blank sheets and began to smooth it out with her finger tips. Sakura spread it out thinly so it covered the entire sheet evenly. When she was done with that she wiped her fingers off on a paper towel that had also been placed within arm's reach.
Setting the paper towel down, she picked up the other blank sheet and placed it firmly on top of the poultice cover one.
Sakura lifted the spool and looked at it and touched it's strand, it was a familiar she was using to remind her of what and who she was making the card for. She had thought it would be perfect, Eriol was famous in this group for his string. It defined him, a soul who never ended. It had another purpose too; it would hasten the process.
She played with the string, deep in thought about the whole situation. Like Kero had told her, she kept the card's purpose in mind always.
Remember, Kero had told her just before he had left her in here, the card has to be magically activated to awaken it's power. AND you CAN'T force it, nothing will happen at all if you try to do that.
So she sat on the wooded floor thinking of what it would be used for. Eriol drifted casually into her mind and she thought about how much he had lost in his past life.
A tear formed in her eye.
Tomoyo also dirfted into her mind, and she thought about how much her friend would miss Eriol if this didn't go according to plan.
The tear swelled.
"I just want him to wake up." She mumured, not noticing she had voiced her thoughts out loud.
Sakura closed here eyes and the tear spilled onto her cheek and towards her chin. She bowed her head down right over the almost card.
How am I supposed to activate it so it will become one of my cards? She thought dismally, I don't even know how to do that.
The tear sparkled a navy blue before dropping off of her chin.
She watched it fall absently, still thinking about how she was going activate the card. It hovered a second over the make-shift card, only a an inch above it, then it plunged in.
With wide eyes Sakura watched as the card shimmered and her casting circle appeared with out her having to call on it. It formed around her and the card, filling the room with a magical light. The card floated up to eye level to a now standing Sakura. It spun rappidlly, as beams of magic shot out of her heart and pierced into the card making it glow fiercely.
Then the magic from her heart stopped projecting into the card, and the card it's self glowed with magic. Starting at the top, magic stenciled drawings of her circle and the spirit onto it.
It's rotation gradually slowed from it's amazing speed as the magic finished it's stenciling. It stopped with it's back to Sakura, still incadescent from activation. The card turned and floated to her now outstreacthed hand, it slid into her fingers as if it had always been there. Always MEANT to be there.
The spirit was a little girl with long curled hair. She wore a straw hat with a thin ribbon bow on the side of it. Her dress was knee length and poofed out in a way that made her look like an antique porceline doll. Her face was simple elegance with and eye closed smile that was contageous. In the little girl's hands was a transparent bouncy ball.
Sakura smilled back at the card, jubliation filling her heart.
I did it, she thought, I really did it.
A tear of gratitude fell on to the card and it shimmered gently, grateful that it had a caring master.
Before Sakura passed out, she read it's name out loud.
"Awake"
Tomoyo
She stoood by the door nervously waiting with Syaoran and Kero. Waiting for Sakura to activate the new card; the card that would help Eriol.
Can she do it? Tomoyo wondered, she didn't mean to be sceptical. Sakura was her best friend, and she had total faith in her, but the question remained.
Could she?
What if her powers weren't strong enough, what then? From what Tomoyo understood, she would have to develop one of her personality magics to make the card. But which one- if any one- would emerge?
Love?
Hope?
Sincerity?
Friendship?
Courage?
Or Trust?
Tomoyo heard Sakura's voice come softly through the door.
"I just want him."
inadvertantly she looked toward Syaoran.
Can't she stop thinking about him for one tiny, little second? She wondered.
But when she saw Syaoran's face, her annoyance at Sakura disappeared. His face was pale and his mouth was an wide O of shock.
Oh no, oh no, oh no! Tomoyo thought. He- oh no. what she said- he must like her too. He took what she said in the wrong way. Oh no, no, no, no! This is not good! Sakura, you've really made yourself a mess this time.
He thinks you mean Eriol!
SYAORAN
"I just want him." Sakura's voice drifted to him softly through the door of his room. It drifted off inaudibly at the end, but he had heard enough of it to get the message.
No! Syaoran thought, no, no, no, no, no, no, no! she-she-she loves. Eriol!
He felt the color drain away from his face and his mouth drop open. Tomoyo was looking at him in shock, but he didn't care. It didn't matter now if she knew he loved Sakura, it didn't matter because he knew now she would never feel the same way. Last night.. a mistake, she had never wanted him. He had been just fooling himself. just like he had with Asa. No, all along she had loved Eriol.
Syaoran remembered the flowers that Eriol used to give Sakura in class.
So he likes her back, he never dragged me to be with Sakura, he had wanted a-a-a friend to give him an escuse to be near her. That's where Tomoyo and I had come in, he hadn't wanted Tomoyo, no that had been a cover for his true feelings for Sakura.
He hung his head in ultimate dispair, I guess I should be supportive of her relationship with him ... I am her friend.And that's more than me and Asa Chong ended up being.
A bright white light of magic filtered through the open spaces of his bedroom door. The three of them covered their eyes with their hands reflexsivly.
"what the-" Syaoran muttered.
In Sakura's bed room her Magic Sphere awakened and the navy blue part of the inner core magics joined the outer.
"she activated it" Kero murmured in astonishment and pride. "she acctually did it!" then reflexivly he turned into Kerberos after enfolding himself in his lengthened wings.
The light died down and immeanse silence came from the bedroom. They all looked at each other wondering what to do next. Finally Keroberos did something, he pushed open the door. Tomoyo gasped and they all rushed in; Sakura was passed out and had fallen on the hard wooden floor. In her hand was the card that they had been so worrried about her making.
Syaoran flipped it over and read it's name : Awake.
Great, he thought, now if only we could use it on her.
He looked at her sleeping face and her slighly parted lips. Syaoran's heart raced, but no, he would have to be satisfied with being ONLY her friend. She looked so angelic when she was sleeping, so at peace. He placed the new card in Keroberos's paws while Tomoyo recorded everything. Syaoran lifted up Sakura's light body carefully, as if she were a delicate glass figurine and brought her into his bed.
Bitterly and somewhat amusedly, he thought about how many times she had been in his bed just today. But since she was going to be resting there, he would have to sleep in a chair or on the floor, seeing as Eriol had the couch.
Gently he laid her down, and pulled his covers up to her chin.
Like any FRIEND would.
Tomoyo and he once again picked up his two coffee cups for the second time that night. The rim of his cup was high enough that he was just barely peering over it at Tomoyo. The steam made his eyes water, but he welcomed the wetness; it refreshed him.
They were alone, Kero was somewhere in the kitchen rooting through his refridgirator. Finally he spoke up softly.
"You know they love each other."
Tomoyo looked confused, "who?"
"Eriol and Sakura, I just figured it out tonight when I heard what she said when she was alone in here. I think you heard it too." Tomoyo nodded, she had heard, but she knew what Sakura had meant- or rather who Sakura had meant.
"I think you misunderstood her though Syaoran. She couldn't possibly love him, she loves-"
Tomoyo looked away suddenly blushing furiously. Syaoran couldn't believe it, he knew that Sakura and Tomoyo were close, but not that close. How was it that he always seemed to fall in love with the lesbiens? Was he cursed or something?
"Oh, Tomoyo, I didn't know you two-" he drifted off gesturing his hand in the air.
Once again she looked at him confused until the relization of what he meant came to her. Then she just looked shocked, and slightly appaled that Syaoran thought Sakura was a lesbien. She said nothing at first though wanting to think over and choose her words carefully.
"she is NOT a lesbien Syaoran, and she is not in love with Eriol."
"Then who IS she in love with? You said- oh" understanding swept across his face. "Yukito."
How dense can one person be? Tomoyo wondered, right now she felt like slamming his head into the wall. How could he just automatically skip over himself like that? Was he blind?
Controlling her burning rage, she looked him square in the eyes while talking through clenched teeth. "no, it's not him either Syaoran, do you know who that leaves?"
Syaoran gave her a look of pure confoundment, which was rare on his face, then shock swept over it.
He whispered softly, "Kero?"
Tomoyo screamed in aggrivation and Sakura turned in Syaoran's bed.
He is soo dense, she thought.
She stalked out of the room in blind fury leaving him alone with Sakura.
What was that all about? He wondered, why did she get so angry? Was there some guy I forgot?
He counted the people who had been eleminated on his fingers, skipping himself because it would be impossble for such a sweet girl like her to like a guy like him. There was no one left except for Yamakazi, and he knew she didn't like him like that.
A knock came softly from his front door and he got up to answer it still thinking deeply. When he did open the door, he was surprised completely.
"Yue? What are you doing here?"
Water dripped off of him in spite of the clear blue sky. Leaving Syaoran to wonder where exactly the guardian had been recently.
"hello Syaoran Li, may I come in?"
Syaoran opened the door for him to enter and sniffed he air as he passed by.
"Yue? Do I smell SOAP?"
Sakura
Once again Sakura woke up in Syaoran's bed. That's it, she thought, that's the last time I have a couple drinks in vegas- I always end up here. She laughed silently, but is that so bad? She wondered.
She turned her head to look at his alarm clock and saw that it was four o' clock in the afternoon.
Touya's just gonna love this, she thought distainfully. She sat up and fell back down with a killer migrain. I guess I should learn not to do that by now, apparently Syaoran's bed give me headaches.
"ohhhhaah.." she moaned, touching her temples gently, amazed how the same thing always happened when she was in his bed.
"Do not try to sit up mistress, you used a lot of magic in creating that card to day just lie ther for a while."
His words made sense but it didn't matter, she still sat up; but slowly this time. She looked at Yue, he was wet and his hair damp and matted as if he had flown in a gusty rain. But last time she had checked, it was a clear day. How long had she been out for?
"Yue what are you doing here? And why are you all wet?"
Yue took in a breath of exaperation, which made it seem like he had told why many times before she had woken up.
"well mistress, Yukito was in the shower when you created the new card. So when you used so much of your Clow magic he automatically transformed into me." He said it matter-of -factly but he still seemed put out about being wet, but then again he always was sullen.
"sorry I had to make the card for-for- Eriol! I gotta use it, I need to wake him up." she swung her legs from the bed and got off of it. She made it to the doorway just before collapsed, Sakura held on to the doorframe desperately so she wouldn't fall all the way to the floor.
She looked at Yue and asked him weakly, "I don't suppose you can carry me home can ." she passed out again and Yue walked over and picked her up and carried her through the door with no apparent strain of strength at all.
Yue walked over to the balcony and spread his magnficent wings. Sakura woke up slightly again and mumured to him, "make sure you caver us in an illusionary shield so no one sees us ." she trailed off fast asleep and her head nestled itself in his shoulder. A soft sigh of unconscious contentment escaped her lips as he answered her sleeping form.
"yes mistress."
Then he took off in flight to her home, seen only as a shadow in the sky, with his mistress asleep in his strong arms.
#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*
So you like? Hehehe... I liked confusing Syaoran like that and throwing things at Kero and throwing him. Hehehehe..
Did you know I got more R+R with my other story an it is about half as long as this totally. What kind of freaky thing is that? Well I think it is acctually the better story but don't quote me on that you may not agree. But then again you might, I mean it is half as long and already got twice as many R+Rs.
Eh who knows?
I gotta type up more chapters, so later peoples.

"well mistress, Yukito was in the shower when you created the new card. So when you used so much of your Clow magic he automatically transformed into me." He said it matter-of -factly but he still seemed put out about being wet, but then again he always was sullen.
"sorry I had to make the card for-for- Eriol! I gotta use it, I need to wake him up." she swung her legs from the bed and got off of it. She made it to the doorway just before collapsed, Sakura held on to the doorframe desperately so she wouldn't fall all the way to the floor.
She looked at Yue and asked him weakly, "I don't suppose you can carry me home can ." she passed out again and Yue walked over and picked her up and carried her through the door with no apparent strain of strength at all.
Yue walked over to the balcony and spread his magnficent wings. Sakura woke up slightly again and mumured to him, "make sure you caver us in an illusionary shield so no one sees us ." she trailed off fast asleep and her head nestled itself in his shoulder. A soft sigh of unconscious contentment escaped her lips as he answered her sleeping form.
"yes mistress."
Then he took off in flight to her home, seen only as a shadow in the sky, with his mistress asleep in his strong arms.

So you like? Hehehe... I liked confusing Syaoran like that and throwing things at Kero and throwing him. Hehehehe..
Did you know I got more R+R with my other story an it is about half as long as this totally. What kind of freaky thing is that? Well I think it is acctually the better story but don't quote me on that you may not agree. But then again you might, I mean it is half as long and already got twice as many R+Rs.
Eh who knows?
I gotta type up more chapters, so later peoples.
