So what do you think so far? Should I keep on going? Or should I snap out of it and quickly delete these stories so that nobody else will be poisoned and mentally scarred by them? ^_^

(By the way, happy new Year!)

Towels, toilets and the Tsuki card

What happened on the last episode of 'The Tsuki Cards'

Suddenly another strong wave approached Sakura. Before she had time to react, it pulled her under. She tried to scream out, but her mouth was just filled with salty water.

Eriol help!!! Someone help me! Oh No! Eriol's miles ahead! He probably has no idea what happened! Sakura madly thought. Oh No! Help! I can't b-b-breath! I'm gonna die!

Sakura screamed again as she felt a whole lot of sand enter her mouth. It seemed ages that she was under the wave. She had no energy to move and had grimly accepted the fact that she was drowning. She was about to loose all hope that she would breath fresh air again…Until she felt a strong hand grip her chest. Eriol? She sleepily thought.

She felt the strong hand tighten around her chest. At first she struggled against it, but soon desisted. She felt her head surface and the fresh air. She tried to breath, but instead, she coughed up salt water and sand.

"Careful! That's it." her rescuer said. She realised that it wasn't Eriol after all. She took a few deep breaths and tried to look around. Her eyes were all blurry, so all she saw was a brown blur.

Suddenly another forceful wave crashed on them. She felt another hand support her. "You alright Sakura?" She heard Eriol worriedly ask.

"I-I t-t-think so." She whispered.

"Good! I'm so glad. I looked back, and you were gone." Eriol said. "I knew we shouldn't have gone out so far!"

At this stage she realised that only Eriol was supporting her. Her eyes started to focus again. She looked around her, and almost stopped breathing again.

There standing next to Eriol was a rather wet Syaoran.

Sakura's eyes widened in surprise and embarrassment. "S-Syaoran-kun! Did? You? There? Me?" Sakura babbled.

Syaoran shrugged and looked away.

"We better go to shore again!" Eriol suggested. Sakura nodded.

The three of them slowly made their way past the rocks.

***

Back on the sand Tomoyo thanked Syaoran for helping Sakura. After a while, when everyone had dried off and Kai had joined them, to the horror of Tomoyo and Sakura!

"I'm going to go for another swim!" Rika told everyone, eager to practice more. "Anyone else coming?" She asked.

"Yeah I will!" Tomoyo replied.

"I'm gonna go back to the apartment. I'm still a bit jetlagged!" Eriol laughed. "Bye everyone! See you soon!"

Sakura sat for what seemed like hours, watching everyone splash around in the waves. She shivered in the cold breeze and hugged her knees. She looked away. Syaoran was lying a few metres away, reading a thick book. She squinted as the sun reflected off his sunglasses. Kai was lying on his back, sunbaking next to him. Everyone's having a great time, except me! It's unfair!

Syaoran looked up abruptly, as she stood up, with her towel around her, and ran past him, towards the other end of the beach.

"Where are you going?!" Tomoyo worriedly yelled after Sakura.

"To the toilets!' Sakura yelled back.

"What's up with her?" Kai commented, completely unconcerned.

Syaoran put his book down and silently stood up. Kai opened his eyes. "What are you doing Li?" He asked, slightly annoyed

***

Why can't anyone understand? I don't want to stay! I want to go home! Sakura felt a hot tear slide down her flustered cheek.

She ran into the toilets and bent over the sink. She stared at the aged, cracked mirror, as more tears fell into the sink.

She didn't hear Syaoran quietly stop in the doorway. He looked at her for a moment, then quietly approached her. She looked up as she saw his reflection in the mirror.

"It's alright, you know," he awkwardly told her. She looked at him for a second than ran into his arms. She burst out crying.

Syoaran, hesitated, then hugged her back. He couldn't think of what to say to her. All he managed to say was "Hey,….you're wetting my shirt."

"I-I-I've missed you so much Syaoran-kun!" Sakura whimpered. "And I, don't ever want to go back there!"

"Go back where?" he asked, confused.

"Back to the beach, back to everyone!"

"You have to sometime!" Syoaran pointed out.

They both stood in the toilet for a while. Then Syaoran said to Sakura, "Come on! It's getting late." Sakura dried her tears and they both started to make there way back to everyone, when they heard someone scream.

Syaoran ran forward and looked at Kai. Kai didn't need telling twice. "Rika almost drowned too," he told Syaoran.

"NANI?" Syaoran cried then ran forward. Rika was breathing fast, with tears running down her face.

"Come on Rika!" Tomoyo said. "Let's go home."

Rika nodded. "Will You be alright Sakura?" She worriedly asked Sakura.

"Hai!" Sakura responded. Tomoyo and Rika slowly walked up the path that lead to the main road. She quickly ran after them.

"Phew! They're finally gone!" Kai muttered darkly.

"Yeah!" Syaoran agreed. "Because there's a Tsuki card nearby!"

"Where?"

"It's in the sea! It's the Water card."

"How do you know Syaoran?" Kai asked.

"Because of the waves. Yeah, there are big ones around, but not at this beach! Also because of when I got burnt yesterday. The Tsuki cards are more advanced then the Clow cards, so THIS water card, can control temperature AND movement!" Syaoran wisely explained.

"Right!…So, how are we going to capture it?" Kai asked.

"Dunno! But I do know this, I gotta get my sword!" And with that he ran down the beach. He grabbed the emerald band and carefully shoved it on his forehead. He held out his hand and his sword appeared."

"You're getting good at that!" Kai said, amused.

"Thanks!" Syaoran said, blushing.

"Li! Look!" Kai suddenly shouted. Syaoran turned around in surprise, and gasped. Sakura was slowly walking towards the water edge. Her usually sparkling eyes, were blank.

"Sakura!" Syaoran yelled.

"Kinomoto! What the hell are you doing?!" Kai sneered.

Sakura stepped into the water, and started to walk calmly into the waves.

Syaoran, knew that the water card was tormenting him. He watched helplessly as Sakura was removed from the spell and realised, too late what was going on.

Sakura screamed, as she was covered once again with a huge wave.

"THAT DOES IT!" Syaoran screamed, with fury. He ran into the water and screamed loudly. The water was boiling hot.

"I….d-don't c-care what y-you throw at m-me!" He bravely told the water card, wincing as he felt his whole body burning. Fire filled his eyes as he made his way towards the spot where Sakura had been. He took a deep breath and dived into the smouldering water.

***

Kai watched helplessly as his friend yelled in pain. He clenched his fist, in anger as Syaoran dived into the water, to help his friend. Stop being so stupid and do SOMETHING! You know that Syaoran would do the same for you anyway! Who cares if he prefers that Kinomoto girl to you! Your friend is in danger and only YOU can do something about it! Kai furiously told himself.

He closed his eyes and held out his hand. His yellow staff appeared, and Kai jumped high into the air. "Water God! Answer my call!" He yelled, and pointed his staff towards the waves. Water poured out of the staff and started tackling the sea. After a few minutes, he felt that the water had cooled down a bit, he thought temperature done! Now for movement! What in Clow Reeds name restrains movement? And he knew that he had found the right answer!

"Wind! Release!" he watched as the wind blew the other way, causing the waves to flattern. Syaoran and Sakura quickly submerged. Syaoran muttered something to Sakura and she nodded. He leapt up and flung his sword forward. "Water card! By the power of the moon, return to the guise you were in! Water!"

A sparkling trail of water flew to the tip of the sword and vanished. "THAT puny thing caused all this havoc?" Kai cried out, disbelieving. "And so now it's trapped in your emerald band?" Kai asked.

"Must have!" Syaoran answered.

The three of them dropped onto the sand and sighed. It was quite dark now. "Syaoran, we better get going!"

"Yeah!" They stood up.

Syaoran looked down at Sakura. "You walking home?" he asked her.

"H-hai!"

"Will you be OK?"

"I-I think so."

"Well, alright then. See you."

Sakura watched Syaoran and Kai walk down the road into the distance.

"Did you have a good day boys?" Wai asked.

"Mmm!" Syaoran answered, stumbling into the his room.

"Oh, boys, I almost forgot! Syaoran, your mother rang, while you were out."

"Oh, what did she say?" Syaoran's muffled voice asked.

"She said that you boys, have to go back to high school again."

"WHAT?!" Syaoran cried, bursting into the hallway.

"Yes, she said that you still have to continue your education!" Wai explained.

TO BE CONTINUED…..

Yes! In the next bit, Syaoran's going back to school. And you haven't seen the last of Eriol. Just so you know. It might be some time before I get the next story up and running - one of the many reasons, I'm experiencing a minor mental block! (crap!) See you all soon (hopefully)
