Hey again guys. I was bored so I've written Chapter 10 pretty quick! (WE WANT KAI BACK!)
NOTE: I've decided that so far Syaoran (in times not written down) has captured the following Tsuki cards: Time, wood, jump and shield. ^_^ (as if I'm gonna write all 52 duh!)
OMG! I just had the best ideas for when Syaoran captures the illusion, mirror and Fly cards! Yay! It's going to be great! So wait for them, they are SO going to be next!!!!
Oh yeah, on to Kai's rescue!
Chapter 10 – The start of Kai's rescue
"Where the hell are they?!" Mr Maehara asked Paul anxiously. "I have no clue!" he responded. The kids in their cabin said that they last saw them when they went to sleep and when they woke up, they were gone!"
"So, Mr Daehara and Mr Li? Crap! Where the hell are they? Should we be sending out search parties or something? God! What to do!" Mr Maehara said banging his fist on the table. "Don't work yourself into a rage Keitaro. Getting into a state isn't going to help our problem!" Paul commented taking a sip of his half cold coffee. Keitaro grunted, stopping to adjust his glasses. "Yeah, you're right Paul. We'll see what happens. But I swear! As soon as those kids come, I'm gonna strangle their bloody throats!"
"Gosh Keitaro! That doesn't sound like you. Been around Naru lately?" Keitaro laughed and drank his tea.

Sakura sat on her bed, biting her nails. Syaoran! Where the hell are you! I really need you here! It's awful without you! I really want to hug you. Especially after yesterday when I found out that you had kissed Kinako, or whatever his name is. Are you alright? Why couldn't you tell me where you were going? You've made me worried sick! Will you ever come back or… Sakura started crying. Tomoyo hugged her sadly. Sakura sniffed then tried to stop crying.
Meiling was staring dully out the window. She knew perfectly well that Syaoran COULD look after himself, but still! She hated the little wolf, for leaving so abruptly, without telling anyone – even Sakura! Why the hell did you leave Syaoran? You'll be in HUGE trouble when you get back! You baka! What is so important, that you have to leave in the middle of the night with that Kinako guy!? Meiling smiled dully, as she watched the rain start to pour. My mood exactly! God! As soon as you come back, I'm going to KILL you! She heard Sakura shriek as thunder suddenly crack nearby.
***
"Bloody hell Syaoran!" Ako exclaimed annoyed. "Can't you do something about this bloody down pour?" Syaoran rolled his eyes, "No I can't Ako! I don't have the umbrella card, or the go away rain card! Hell, I'd love to use them, if they existed!"
"What about the shield card?"
"Shield? That only protects you from magic!"
"Well, have you ever tried it? Maybe you can will it to protect us from elements too!"
"I highly doubt it, but I s'pose I may as well try, to stop you complaining."
Syaoran can be so domineering when he wants to be! Kinako thought amused and annoyed. He watched in awe as Syaoran's sword appeared and he called the 'shield' card. Kinako covered his eyes when a blinding light burst forward and surrounded the two. Instantly they were no longer wet. "Now, do I have a great mind or what?!" Kinako said to Syaoran.
"It's only because I forgot the Tsuki cards are more powerful then the Clow cards!"
"Hehehe! That's your excuse Syaoran!"
Syaoran shrugged, "I still can't believe Kai told you about the Tsuki cards! That little..Kaiju!" Kinako laughed.
"So, are we getting any closer?" Syaoran asked him. "Hey! I'm not superman okay? I can't fly!"
"Fly…" Syaoran muttered. "That's it! I can use the jump card! Much quicker and funner!"
"Funner? Is that even a word Syaoran?" Syaoran shrugged and grinned as he pulled out the jump card. "Jump card!" he cried. Syaoran grabbed Kinako and jumped high off the ground. "Lead the way Daehara!"
"Whatever! I think it's this way."
***
"Sakura!" Meiling called. "Can't you use the shadow card or something to find them?" Sakura sat up. "Yeah! Like I did to find Tomoyo! Demo, will it work?"
"We'll never know until you try!"
"Good point Meiling!" Sakura 'released' her star wand and called upon the Shadow card. It shot out of the card, hesitated for a few seconds then sped out of the room. "CRAP!" Sakura yelled tearing after it. "Bloody hell! I can't keep up! JUMP CARD!"
Meiling and Tomoyo watched as Sakura jumped quickly to keep up with Shadow, and watched her disappear in the distance. "I hope she'll find Syaoran and Ako soon!" Tomoyo said.
***
"You sure this is the place? How do you even know?" Syaoran asked. They were standing in front of and old shack. "Looks pretty dodgey!" he added.
Kinako rolled his eyes. "Never judge a book by its cover Syaoran!" The two boys walked up to the entrance. Kinako moved his hand in a knocking position, when Syaoran stopped him. "Why are you knocking? We aren't here to be polite!" Kinako shrugged, but knocked anyway. As soon as he had, the door fell off its hinges. Syaoran and Kinako sweat dropped, stared disbelievingly at the fallen door. "Now that's really tacky!" Syaoran bluntly said. Kinako nodded. They stepped over the fallen door and into the 'tacky shack!' ( ^_^ hehe that rhymes! )
All that was in the shack was a rotting cupboard and a bed that looked like it was going to collapse at any given moment. "Wouldn't want to pay insurance for this piece of crap!" Kinako said. Syaoran laughed and stepped back, so that a spider wouldn't fall on his head. "You still haven't answered my question yet!" Kinako raised an eyebrow. "Why do you think Kai would be here?"
"Oh!" Kinato looked slightly downcast. "I er…can use telepathic communications." Syaoran stared at him. "You can read people's minds?"
"Well, sorta. I can TALK to people's minds. And if I do that, they can talk back – in their thoughts. But, only if I know that person."
Kinako stared around, slightly bemused. He finally glanced at the floor and did a double take. "Great! That's our ticket in!" He pointed at the floor. "Floor boards?"
"No! The trap door!" Kinako knelt down and dug his nails into a crack. Syaoran knelt to help him. Together they lifted the rusty trapdoor and peered into the darkness. "You first!" Syaoran grinned.
"Nani! What if I die or something, or get attacked by snakes?"
"Well, I'll hear you scream, and know that that way isn't safe!" Kinako gave a stop-kidding look and Syaoran held up his hands, "better you than me! I need to survive to capture the rest of the Tsuki cards!"
"Damn you! I know that I'm going to regret this!" He inhaled carefully, and then jumped into the darkness. "Kinako?" Syaoran called. There was silence. "Kinako?" He worriedly tried again. Still nothing. Syaoran closed his eyes and jumped.
He felt his body collide with something warm. Syaoran cried out in alarm, horrible thoughts of what it could be, forming in his mind. "Ergh! Mutants and huge spiders!" The 'something' grunted angrily.
"It's me you STUPID IDIOT!" Syaoran looked down and saw Kinako angrily glaring up at him. "Mutants and huge spiders my ass! How OLD are you Syaoran?" Syaoran shrugged sheepishly. "Now, w-would y-you m-mind getting o-of M-ME!" Syaoran grinned and rolled over. "Why didn't you answer my call?" Syaoran asked slightly pissed off. "Because! I DON'T answer to Kinako!" Syaoran rolled his eyes. "And anyway! How much do you WEIGH Syaoran? You nearly knocked my out, let alone wind me!"
"Ahh! It's all muscle my man!"
"Whatever Li!"
*BANNNNNG*
"Holy F*** what was that?!" Kinako yelled in surprise, as they were filled with complete darkness. Syaoran looked up and put his hand to his heart to stop it beating so fast. "It was just the trap door slamming."
"God! I would've thought the trap door would've broken before it had a chance to do THAT!"
Syaoran snickered in agreement.
***
"My feet hurt!" Syaoran complained. It had seemed like they had been walked for hours. "Stop complaining muscle man!" Syaoran scowled, totally not in the mood for one of Kinako's jokes. "I think we're here!" Kinako said. "Thank bloody God!" Syaoran grumbled. Kinako ignored him and put his ear to the door – there was silence. Kinako carefully twisted the rusted handle and opened the door. He peered in. "You sure?" Syaoran heard him mutter. Suddenly Kinako twitched and an alarmed look filled his face.
"What's wrong Ako?"
"I-I think something might've happened to Kai!"
"What do you mean?!"
"Well, for some reason I can't feel him!"
"F-feel him?"
Kinako in spite of the present situation rolled his eyes at Syaoran. "You've got a filthy mind!" Syaoran raised an eyebrow.
"Never mind. What I mean is when I'm 'contacting someone,' I can sort of feel a presence in my mind – their presence! But it's gone."
"Which means..?" Syaoran asked signaling for Kai to explain more.
"Which means, that he's either unconscious or ... I don't know."
Neither of them had to react though, for a feminine war cry had sounded and Syaoran and Kinako were thrown violently, heads first, into the room. Syaoran gasped painfully, as his elbow crashed onto the floor first and grimaced as he heard it crack and sent shocking pain into his body. Kinako was experiencing something similar a little ahead of him. Syaoran struggled to get up and with his right hand; he rubbed the back of his head. He glanced angrily up and gasped.
A dangerous looking woman was glaring at them, with a small evil smile. Syaoran gulped and tapped Kinako's leg. "What Syaoran!"
"Um look up for a second."
"I'm sorta NOT in the mood for that right now!"
"No! Kinako, I REALLY think you have to look up."
He heard Kinako shifting and then freeze. "So! What lovely little boys do we have here?"
"Um, er, we, um…" Kinako babbled incoherently. "Came to visit me?" She said, blonde ringlets swaying slightly in the breeze. She cocked her head raising her perfect eyebrows. When the boys didn't answer she frowned impatiently.
"Oh! Sweetheart, look at that arm!" She said kneeling down and moved to grab his left arm. No matter how painful it was, Syaoran shoved hastily from her prying hands, voice to sweet in Syaoran's opinion. "Now, now! I just wanted to help." Syaoran ignored the sweat running down his forehead as she leant closer. "What's your name sweetie?"
"None of your business Miss." Syaoran calmly answered back. The women withdrew scowling. "And what about you blackie?" She asked Kinako sourly. Kinako nervously tried to ignore her. "Fine you little dicks! YOU can be called Blackie. And YOU!" She said dangerously at Syaoran. "Can be called Wolf!"
She suddenly dived and grabbed Syaoran and pulled him up. He howled in pain and tried to fight the urge to slap her. With her other arm she violently lifted Kinako. "You boys are coming with me!" She started to drag them into the next room, but Syaoran steaming with anger quickly did the first thing that came into his mind – spat right in her face! ^_^
She let go of them in a flash and wiped her face dry. She screamed furiously at Syaoran and slapped him hard across the face. He collapsed in shock. "You BITCH!" Kinako yelled. The women looked up at him outraged. "NO-ONE CAN DARE CALL ME A BITCH!" She flung her arm out and smirked as Syaoran and Kinako were slammed violently into the wall, by an invisible force. They were immediately knocked out. The woman was about to do it again for the sake of it when a yell filled the room and time froze.
***
Sakura stood contentedly in the doorway. She couldn't think of what else to use, so she shrugged and used the sleep card. The women dropped to the floor and time flowed again. Sakura grinned at her handy work and ran over to the boys, not noticing the red glow leaving the woman's body. She knelt next to Syaoran and lightly shook him – he didn't wake. Sakura lightly bushed his long hair out of his face and kissed him. Syaoran stirred and looked up confused at Sakura. "What happened?" he asked her. "WATCH OUT!" Sakura heard Kinako yell desperately. She turned her head and gasped as she saw the red glow floating towards her. She got up and walked curiously towards the red light. She suddenly was thrown backwards. Syaoran quickly caught her and winced as he slammed into the wall again.
"Oh my God! I'm SO sorry Syaoran!" Sakura apologized timidly. "It's alright."
He rubbed his left elbow confused at why he no longer felt pain. Oh Duh! When I hit the wall again, the force must have knocked it back into place!
He turned around and walked up to the red glow. He smirked as his sword appeared in his hand. "Move card! Nice work! I'm impressed."
"Yeah!" Kinako added, "I'm impressed that you were able to lift Syaoran!"
Syaoran glared at him and Kinako snickered. Syaoran rolled his eyes and looked back as the red wings appeared. "By the demands of the moon, return to the guise that you belong in!" Syaoran looked satisfied at the green card in his hand, and put it in his pocket. He stopped in his tracks as he looked at the woman lying on the floor. "Nice work Sakura!" He commented. Sakura blushed as looked away.
"Now that the Move card is out of our way…let's get back to rescuing Kai!" He said determinedly. Kinako nodded in agreement.
TO BE CONTINUED…
