Students of the Clow: Ascension II
Chapter 8

Just then, Chron appeared, almost from out of nowhere.
"Ah, Sakura! So nice to see you again! Oh, I hope I haven't interrupted anything important."
"Uhhh, n-no, not really," replied Sakura (although we all know that's not true.)
"What do you want?" asked Li sternly, starting to form a defensive position near Sakura (as if to say 'If you do anything that upsets the woman I love... well, I'll let you fill in the rest.)
"I was just checking out the fair when I couldn't help but notice you were around. You wouldn't by any chance have the Cards with you now, do you?"
Sakura was starting to sense that suspicious sensation from Chron again. "Sorry Chron, but I don't usually carry the Cards with me all the time."
"I see... are you sure I can't come by your place and see them? I won't be staying in Reedington for much longer and this is probably the only chance I'll ever get to actually see the Clow Cards in person. It would mean so much to me."
Sakura thought that she should probably be polite and honour Chron's request, but she couldn't shake these negative vibes she was getting from him. All of her magical instincts were telling her that this was someone who wasn't to be trusted.
"I'm sorry, but uhhhhhhh, I don't let guys who I barely know into my bedroom. My dad has rules against such things." Actually, Sakura wasn't sure if Aiden really had made any policies about letting boys into her room, but she figured what Chron didn't know...
"Well then, I could just wait outside while you go up to your room and get them. It really doesn't matter to me."
Sakura was running low on excuses. Fortunately, Li stepped in again to help her. "Why don't you just move along now and leave Sakura alone?!"
Suddenly, Chron's friendly face began to look not so friendly anymore. With one swift stroke of his hand, he knocked Li to the ground.
"Li!" cried Sakura. She tried to run, but Chron grabbed her by the wrist tightly. (And I do mean tightly!)
"I've tried to ask you nicely," snarled Chron in a less-than-human tone of voice, "now I'm taking the direct approach! You will take me to your house and you will give me Cards NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"Let me go!" yelled Sakura, but of course, Chron did not comply. She tried to break free, but his grasp on her wrist just tightened even further. It was really starting to hurt. (And I do mean hurt!) It was then that Sakura happened to catch a glance of a jade-encrusted ring on Chron's finger...
"Element Lightning!" Of course, Chron was so busy focusing his attention on Sakura, he had forgotten about Li. Using his magic, Li was able to use his magic to zap Chron with a few volts of electricity, thus weakening him long enough for Sakura to break free. Sakura rushed over to Li's side, who now had his sword drawn. "I believe I told you to leave Sakura alone!"
Weakened from this 'shocking' turn of events, Chron had no choice but to retreat. "This isn't over Avalon!" And with that, Chron disappeared into thin air.
"Are you okay Sakura?" Li asked, putting his sword away.
Sakura rubbed her incredibly sore wrist. (And I do mean... ah, forget it.) "Yeah, I think so. Oww! Well, no, not really. Who is this Chron guy?"
"I don't know," said Li, "but I think it's time we found out!"
TO BE CONTINUED
Well as I explained before, I'm late posting this chapter because of Christmas. I spent the better part of last week visiting relatives (and getting some pretty kick-ass presents). With the hustle and bustle of the holidays now behind me, I should be able to start writing again. (Actually, come to think of it, I'm already writing again, seeing as how I've just written this chappie!) Anyhoo, please R & R because I love hearing your comments about my work-it's the only way I know if what I'm writing is any good!
p.s. Happy New Year!
