Last chapter....
Sakura blushed. Suddenly, she saw a silver Porsche park in front of the house. A girl with black hair and crimson eyes stepped out. Then, a certain amber-eyed guy with chestnut hair stepped out of the driver's seat.
"Syaoran!!!" Sakura cried out.
Chapter Six:
Sakura rushed past Mieko and threw herself at Syaoran and Meilin. "Syaoran! Meilin! I missed you so much!"
Meilin smiled. "Of course you missed me!" she teased, "Who couldn't?"
Syaoran didn't say anything. He just kept holding Sakura tightly in his arms. Meilin eventually moved out of the embrace, knowing that those two needed some time alone with each other. Suddenly, she noticed a boy standing very still on the doorstep of the house, staring at Sakura and Syaoran. A strange look crossed his face, and he swerved around, jumped inside his car, and drove away. With a frown, she tapped Sakura's back and asked, "Sakura? Who's that?"
Sakura had completely forgotten about Mieko. "Oh!" She looked around, searching for the teal-haired boy. A guilty look crossed her face. "That was Mieko," she explained softly. "Now I feel bad about forgetting about him... He must feel terrible!"
Meilin put on a very scary face. "WAS HE SOME SORT OF DATE?!" she demanded with a suddenly ferocious face. She started to look remarkably like a enraged lion. "AFTER ALL SYAORAN HAD BEEN THROUGH TO FIND YOU?!?!"
Sakura shook her head vigourously. "Oh, no! We're just friends," she said naively.
Meilin calmed down immediately. "Oh."
Almost as soon as she said that, two cars pulled up behind Syaoran's Porsche. The first one was a chic, red sportscar, and the second was a black Hyundai minivan. A handsome ebony-haired guy stepped out, and four girls stumbled out. Obviously, the car had been very crowded. However, out of the minivan came three gracious women and a pretty, young teenager. The dark green-haired woman stepped forward, and took off her sunglasses. She smiled warmly at Sakura, who was awed by these pretty ladies. "Well, Syaoran; aren't you going to introduce us?"
Syaoran sighed reluctantly and let go of Sakura. "This is Setsuna," he said, and continued to list their names as he pointed to each of them. He stopped a second at Rei, and added, "This is Rei, Meilin's twin, though they're not related."
"Hey!" exclaimed Meilin. "I'm MUCH prettier than her!"
Rei bristled. "No way!" she screeched. "I'm SO much prettier than you!"
Syaoran proceeded to ignore them, and continued the presentations. Finally, he said, "Everyone, this is Kinomoto Sakura."
There was a lot of hellos and handshakes, then Sakura offered to invite them in. "I'll go get Seiya and everone else. I'm sure they'll love to meet you!" she said to them, then proceeded upstairs to gather everyone.
"Not that we don't know them already," muttered Mamoru darkly. Mina shoved him hard in the ribs.
~~~
Upstairs...
Sakura knocked excitedly at all the friend's room doors. "HEY! Everyone! We have company!"
Serena opened her door curiously. "Company?" she asked. "Who?"
"My friend Meilin and Syaoran just arrived with a bunch of friends!" Sakura danced a little jig of good humor.
Serena laughed. "I'll be right downstairs, then," she said. "I'll just slip on some other clothes, and fetch the guys. You go along and wait for us with them."
Sakura asquieced, and bounded down the stairs. Serena put up her hair in the accustomary buns, slipped on a pink bunny t-shirt that hugged her slender body and a pair of jeans. Whistling, she put on a pair of pink socks and moderately heeled sandals. She went out of her room, and cleared her throat. She put on a high, shrill voice. "AHHH!!!! HELP! A FIRE!!!!!!!!"
Immediately, the doors of the guys opened, alarmed and heroic faces poking out of the doors. They all scowled when they saw Serena laugh hysterically at them. "Hey, we have visitors," she managed to say between hiccups.
With resigned sighs, the four men quickly dressed up properly, and followed Serena downstairs.
~~~
Meanwhile...
Atemi's eyes gleamed fiercely as she stared at the hologram of a monstrous creature. "It's ready!" she purred proudly. "And it's a masterpiece!"
Tadane glanced over, and shuddered. "How ugly! It's a wonder how such a beautiful creature like a pegasus could turn into a monster so horrid!"
Atemi glared at her. "What are you talking about?! It's BEAUTIFUL. A perfect Youma. This perfect creation will destroy the Cardmistress."
"What if it fails?" asked Tadane coldly.
A flash passed over Atemi's eyes. "Then we shall use plan b."
~~~
Serena squealed happily, and threw herself at Mamoru. The Scouts all bunched up around Serena, hugging her and telling her how worried they had been for her. The happy reunion was a sight for sore eyes. Suddenly, Syaoran stood up ramrod straight, and his amber eyes smouldered. Sakura looked up concernedly. "What is it?" she asked.
"I sense something," he answered. His eyes ran around the room.
Sakura closed her eyes, and searched for a presence. "I sense it too; and it's definitely not nice," she said.
Rei took out a charm. "Reveal the unseen!" she cried out in chinese, throwing out the charm. An enormous, hideous youma appeared, the charm stuck to it's forehead. It roared, and charged at Sakura, who barely dodged it. Syaoran took out his sword and swiped at the monster. The youma cried out in pain, but nevertheless, charged again, this time at Serena. Mamoru swiftly picked Serena up in his arms and jumped aside. The youma growled, hesitant; it was trying to figure out if it should kill Sakura first, or Serena. Serena took out her brooch, and transformed. That decided it. The youma was attracted to the bright light now envelopping her. Like lightning, it charged once again at Serena, and this time, not expecting it, she collided with a sickening crunch against the wall. Serena moaned in pain; her arm was bleeding heavily, and was sticking out in strange angles. The other girls cried out, and rushed to her side.
Mamoru took one look at Serena, and charged angrily. It didn't affect the monster at all. He tried to beat the youma with his attacks, but in vain. Finally, eyes wide in pain, and clutching his bleeding shoulder, he backed away to regain himself.
Syaoran's years of physical training finally paid off. He swung his sword in complicated and advanced patterns, veering off each of the youma's attacks. The youma growled, and twitched, uncertain of who it should attack now.
Meanwhile, Seiya, Yaten, Taiki, Ami, Rei, Makoto, and Minako were trying to transform, but for some reason, it didn't work. Minako looked desperately at Ami. "Why isn't our morphing working?!"
Ami frantically typed in her mini-laptop. Her blue eyes were panicked. "It seems that within perimeter of this youma, our morphing won't work!"
"Then how come Serena was able to transform?!" Makoto yelled.
"Because she has the Imperium Silver Crystal, baka!" Ami yelled back.
"Guys! Fighting isn't going to help anything!" Seiya silenced them. He turned to Syaoran, who was still dodging the monster's attacks. "Hey, you! How long can you hold off the youma?!"
Syaoran gritted his teeth as one of the claws of the monster slashed his chest. "Never mind that!" he yelled. "Do you think you can somehow restrain it?"
Ami frowned. "There's only a small possibility!" she called out to him, "But we'll try!"
Syaoran nodded to acknowledge them.
Meanwhile, Sakura had backed off into a corner. The same voice that had spoken to her in her mind when she captured the other youma resonated in her mind once more; "Capture it!" the voice hissed. "Now! What are you waiting for?! Capture it!"
As if being controlled, Sakura called forth her staff. Her green eyes were blank and her face emotionless. "Creature of the dark," she said in a monotone voice, "Become a new shape of contract. Sakura Card."
The creature shrieked an unearthly sound before being sucked into the new card Sakura had formed. Sakura suddenly seemed to wake up from an unpleasant dream and looked at the new card in her hand with surprise. "I did it again..." she said slowly.
Ami knelt beside Serena to examine her injuries. "She broke her arm and I'm afraid that one of her ribs is broken as well," she said, worried. "We'd better take her to the hospital. Serena do you think you can unmorph?"
Serena winced. "Yes, I think so." She concentrated, and her senshi uniform faded away, and she was now in her regular clothes. Unfortunately, the pain increased, and she moaned louder.
Syaoran took out a charm and, after murmuring a few words in chinese, put it against Serena's forehead. Serena immediately stopped groaning, and fell asleep. "There," he said, satisfied. "That should stop the pain for now."
Mamoru carefully picked Serena up and headed to his car. "I'm taking her to the hospital!" he yelled back to the others. They nodded.
~~~
"Masaka!" Atemi spat out. Fear filled her eyes. "The master will have our heads for this!"
"I told you it would fail!" Tadane pulled her braid, frustrated.
"Then we have to launch plan b, if the master lets us..." Atemi looked distractedly at a pile of papers in the corner.
"We can't fail; our mother depends on us." A tear leaked out from the corner of her eye and she ran her fingers gently over a picture of her mother, Atemi, and her, laughing happily.
A.N. I'M SO SORRY IT WAS SO SHORT AND THAT IT TOOK SO LONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *sniff* I just don't have time anymore... I'll try to work on this in as much of my spare time as I can!!!!!!!!! PROMISE!!!!!!!!!! But the progress will be painstakingly slow....
Oh, REVIEW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
