Author's Notes:
Gomen ne, minna-san. I know the plot has been getting a bit lost lately but you guys JUST HAVE TO BE PATIENT. I know this is not as well planned out as it should be and all but trust me; there is a reason for my madness.
Chapter 15
"Just a little bit more…" The diminutive Beast of the Seal shifted his weight against the reddish pottery and slowly began to rock back and forth. The jar teetered a bit on the marble railing and increased in momentum as the tiny guardian inside increased his movement. Suddenly, the container pitched forward and Kero's tiny eyes bulged in dreaded conception. "Uh-oh…" He managed to squeak out before the jar plummeted to the ground; shattering into a million and one pieces. Kero trembled, small paws raised over his round face in a form of protection. Feeling no immediate pain, he cautiously opened one eye and then the other. He looked around at the reddish shards of hardened clay around him and smirked to himself before pumping his fists into the air. "Yatta!" Laughing in somewhat of a high-pitched voice and dancing in circles, the Guardian looked quite comical.
"The plush toy even has a victory dance…."
Kero stopped mid-twirl and faced his insulter with a less-than-menacing paw. "What did you just say, Kozou?"
The being in question chuckled darkly to himself and stepped from the shadows of the porch, revealing to the Beast of the Seal exactly how much of a child he was not. Syaoran glared to the plush-toy like beast in front of him and leaned against a marble column, eyes slowly closing as a smug grin spread across his handsome features. "You heard me."
Kero gritted his teeth and desperately tried to keep his teeth from sinking into the Chinese teen's finger. "Hai, hai."
"So…" Syaoran stepped forward and knelt to the ground as he examined the remains of the terracotta prison the Beast had been confined to. "…How did you manage to end up in there?" He paused and laughed. "Or more importantly…how the hell did you manage to get out?"
A red vein twitched on the side of Kero's temple and he clenched his paws in frustration. "First of all, your she-devil of a cousin shoved me in here a while ago." He continued as he plucked a tiny piece of clay from his fur. "As for you second question…." Eyes glittering with self-pride, Kero stood to his full height, hands proudly placed on hips. "I am the almighty Kerberos! I can do anything!"
"That's debatable…" Syaoran muttered under his breath, chestnut bangs hiding the teasing mischief in his eyes.
"What was that?!" Kero expostulated.
"Nandemonai…" The future Leader of the Li Clan trailed off as a familiar presence flitted by his alert senses. Something was amiss, that he was sure. He could discern the familiarity yet not the actual being itself. It was not long before the Guardian Beast was aware at something tugging against his magical senses as well. His tiny white wings grew to magnificent proportions and engulfed the cat-like creature in a blinding white flash of light. A majestic lion now occupied the place of the tiny sentinel and looked to the Chinese teen in question.
Syaoran looked to Kero and shrugged, confirming the Guardian's fears that the young warrior was as much at a loss for an explanation as he. A tug here, a glimmer there. The presence was impossibly surrounding them and it was so…cold. The handsome sorcerer shivered visibly despite years of intense training and narrowed his sunset colored eyes in determination. Summoning a gleaming blade from the sacred pendant dangling about his neck he shifted his position into a battle ready stance and darted his ever watchful eyes about his surroundings.
Nothing.
Just the same feeling of darkness whose ever lingering presence loomed before them in an ominous fashion.
Then, just as it had appeared, the dim and dreary existence dissipated and left a very perturbed Guardian Beast and sorcerer behind.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The teen Mistress of the Cards blinked several times, still having the slightest bit of difficulty adjusting to her surroundings. The market place was enormous. Although still probably not worthy enough of an adjective, it was the only one Sakura could place a finger to at the moment. Delightful aromas rose from tiny restaurants and lively music created the very atmosphere at hand. Various shops lined the streets, bustling with people of all ages. Children ran among the throngs of people in the idyllic bliss of youth and Sakura smiled on recollection of her own childhood memories. So many memories…memories that were becoming paler and paler in comparison to her new memories she created with Syaoran. Feeling a soft bump against her leg, the spring-eyed young woman glanced down to see a small girl of five tenderly rubbing her forehead through a veil of ebony-colored locks. With genuine concern, Sakura knelt down to the young girl's level and held out a slender hand for assistance. "Gomen nasai, little one. Daijobu?" The sorceress whispered softly.
Blinking the young girl smiled but did not immediately answer the young woman kneeling in front of her. With wide sapphire eyes she spoke and pointed to herself, speaking something Sakura did not understand.
"Gomen ne..." Sakura shook her head despondently and stared ahead to the girl in front of her with a soft smile.
"Sakura…let me help." Syaoran gently teased her as he tapped her nose with his index finger.
"Mou…"
The handsome Chinese teen gently took one of the young girl's hands and spoke softly to her, his love watching adoringly from his side. How much he had changed from the icy young man she had first encountered in that hot spring. She blushed on recollection of how 'revealing' their first meeting had been and secretly wondered if… "No Sakura! Stop…slow down. After all Syaoran and my relationship is just beginning…"
Syaoran immediately felt the heat rise to his cheeks as the last bit of Sakura's thought reached his alert mind. "After all Syaoran and my relationship is just beginning…" How would their relationship proceed from now on? He could only wish for the best. The sorcerer smiled at his preceding thought, his dark amber eyes taking on a dreamy and wistful gaze and mind concocting even more daring scenarios than he ever thought possible.
"Hey mister."
Syaoran snapped out of his comforting reverie and frowned slightly to the young girl in front of him. "What?"
Wincing visibly, the child bit her fingertip in remorse and gazed up to the handsome Chinese teen with apologetic orbs. Syaoran's frown softened and he shook his head. "Gomen ne, Little One, what did you want to ask me?"
The five-year-old twirled an ebony tendril around her tiny finger and pointed to Sakura with her other hand. "Is she your girlfriend?"
Syaoran looked back to Sakura with a smile and back to the child in front of him. "Yes."
"Do you love her?"
Syaoran sighed in bliss. "Of course."
Seemingly satisfied, the sapphire-eyed child rose to her feet and dusted off her dress with tiny fingers. She looked back to Syaoran and then to Sakura, a smile occupying her cherubic face. "How perfect! The handsome prince and beautiful princess!" Dancing in small circles, she began to sing the praises of the Card capturing duo to the market.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Daidouji Tomoyo frowned in slight confusion. She stared ahead of the small troupe to two people taking lead; none other than future Clan Leader, Li Syaoran and Card Mistress Kinomoto Sakura. Something was different between them, something that infuriatingly she could not discern. She paid no heed to the shops and restaurants along the main street, only to her present thought.
The half reincarnation
of Clow watched her with curious blue eyes. "Something
wrong?"
Tomoyo giggled and pointed ahead. "Do those two seem different to you?"
Eriol looked to the duo in question and adjusted his glasses. "Nope, they look the same to me."
The artist tripped to the ground. "Mou! For someone who is half the reincarnation of a great sorcerer, you can be such a baka sometimes." Dusting off her dress she rose to her feet and manually turned her boyfriend's head in her friends' direction once more. "Look again. I don't mean physical appearances. Don't they act different toward each other? Like…"
"More comfortable." Eriol finished for her.
"Do you think they confessed?"
The magician shrugged his shoulders. "They might have."
"Then why haven't
they told us?"
"Clan reasons, I suppose."
"Clan reasons?" Tomoyo inquired.
"Hai."
Both teens turned to the ruby-eyed girl behind them. "That's exactly the reason they haven't made their affection public." Li Meiling gazed ahead to her Cousin and friend. After being a member of the lineage for seventeen years, the Chinese teen was fully aware of the harsh authority and rituals embedded deep within her Clan's history. Her handsome Cousin's task would indeed be difficult. "The Clan's rules are extremely strict and disciplined. Syaoran will have to announce his choice to the Elders soon."
Tomoyo blinked in realization. "Tell them that he's in love with Sakura…"
"Hai."
The three teenagers looked to each other in amusement and Eriol laughed. "And knowing my cute Little Descendant, he might have a hard time."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The rest of the day continued along pleasantly, despite the fact of course that Syaoran and Sakura had an extremely difficult time being away from each other and the constant persistence of the four genki Li Sisters kept all of them slightly weary.
"I know! Just so totemo kawaii!" Li Fanren shrieked to the streets.
For the umpteenth time that day Li Syaoran faced his older sister with a frown and a menacing growl emitted from his throat. "For the last time, Fanren, if I hear you say 'kawaii' any more—" The warrior paused mid sentence and his frown deepened as he felt a familiar presence tugging at the edge of his sharp senses. He glanced to his side with questioning amber eyes; finding the teen sorceress's emerald gems hidden from him as she too, strained to find the source of the faint glimmer.
Kinomoto Sakura focused her powers intently upon the slight charisma of the spirit awaiting capture, her mind blocking out all thoughts and muddle save this current endeavor. It flitted by her senses and she abruptly averted her focus in another direction, a slight frown taking occupancy of her features. The spirit was stronger somehow, and…more powerful than ones she had previously faced. An intense feeling of dread began to build inside of her and she mentally panicked.
What if the card was dangerous? Fiery had injured Syaoran, could they really risk putting the lives of thousands in jeopardy here?
Before she could consult the warrior in question, he was already by her side, ready to defend her should the occurrence arise. "We have to get away from all these people…" He muttered under his breath.
Tomoyo glanced back and forth to her friends in apprehension, the air had gradually become quite still and the clamor of the street's life had faded to a mere murmur. She narrowed her eyes and hastily extracted a sketch pad from her bag, pencil poised in midair, ready to sketch whatever entity her best friend and the handsome warrior were about to face.
Sakura's eyes suddenly snapped open, emerald orbs wide with alarm. She stole a furtive glance to the warrior next to her in question and he simply nodded in response to her silent questioning. The presence had faded just as quickly as it had appeared and the Card Capturing Duo was uneasy, both anticipating a dreadful incidence coming their way. From far off in the distance, a faint rumbling rippled through the marketplace and the ground slightly quivered beneath their feet. Syaoran stole a glance to his sorceress and blinked in near consternation at the sight he beheld before his eyes.
The teen Mistress of the Cards stood perfectly still, the glyph of Clow appearing beneath her lithe frame. The future Li Clan leader gazed on in both awe and mystification; the ground around his love was completely still, neither a tremor nor vibration appearing anywhere near her. Sakura's aura flared to life with determination, surrounding the sorceress in a soft pink glow. Meiling gasped from somewhere off to the side and pointed excitedly to her Cousin, her ebony ponytails bouncing up and down behind her as she jumped into the air in pure thrilled admiration. Syaoran followed his relative's extended finger and felt an unfamiliar tingling arise within his body. He could not quite place it, rather he could feel it. Almost as if a great power was fostering inside his soul. His eyes closed of their own accord and he lifted a tasseled red silk cord from his neck, concentrating his magic on the small onyx-like sphere. It responded to his efforts with unforced simplicity, the orb becoming drenched in a blinding white light, writhing and metamorphosing into the warrior's steadfast rapier. He could feel his aura roaring about him in reaction to the nearby charmed entity.
All most all at once, the identity of the being surfaced in his mind.
""Earthy."" The Card Captors whispered in unison.
Almost as if reacting to the voiced identification, the ground trembled more violently, screams and frantic calls drowning out the concentration the couple desperately tried to attain.
"Eeeeeek! An earthquake?!" Feimei shrieked from the doorway of a store.
The other three Li Sisters appeared behind her, staring at their younger brother and the Card Mistress in untapped wonder. To think that they held the power to control…whatever creature that posed a threat mystified the elder sisters beyond belief.
Sheifa gripped onto the doorframe and rebuked her sister gently. "NO! It's not an earthquake, Feimei!" She raised her eyes to the sky as the sound of grating stone and crumbling earth reached her attentive ears. "It's a Clow Card!"
"Really?!" Fuutie exclaimed in wonder. "You mean we…we actually get to witness it firsthand?"
A muffled noise sounded from nearby. "Well…if…you…three…would…get…off…of…me…maybe…I…could…see… it, too." Feimei grumbled as her sister's sheepishly removed themselves from her and desperately tried to make amends.
"Oh my, so sorry dear sister, we didn't mean to." Fanren alleged as she smoothed out the creases in her sister's dress. The previously trampled sister mumbled something incoherent and waved off the accident absentmindedly as she, too raised her eyes to the sky.
Sakura opened her eyes and knit her brows in determination. "Syaoran…we have to do something about all these people."
"Hai…but what can we…" He frowned deeply as he leaned his weight on his sword, absentmindedly running a hand through his chestnut locks until he snapped his fingers in realization. "Got it!"
The teens smirked to each other knowingly and whispered simultaneously. "Sleep Card."
"Right, you put everyone to sleep, Earthy is an attack card but I doubt it will cause physical harm to all of these people." He let a sly grin turn up the corners of his mouth. "It's only after us."
"Lucky me." Sakura quipped.
Reaching into a side pocket, she retrieved a Tarot-like card that had been nestled there and gazed to the pixie like figure on the front, silently praying her plan would go accordingly. She expertly flung the rectangle into the air, the Card remaining suspended by a powerful and unseen force. She brought the now full sized Sealing Wand onto the rectangle, thin wisps of pale aqua energy and magic emulating from the card and materializing into the figure depicted on the card's surface. The sprite smiled charmingly to her Mistress in the wait of her task.
"Sleep Card, onegai, put all of these people to sleep."
The Card replied with a curt nod of her head and flew off in the general vicinity of the marketplace; glittering flecks dotting the air with a surreal atmosphere as they descended onto the people gathered within. One by one the residents began to crumple to the ground in a charmed allure of sleep and the fairy closed her eyes and beamed in recognition of her accomplishments.
"No! Must sketch…can't fall…asleep…" Tomoyo trailed off as her senses were overtaken by a drowsy humor, her conscious lifting away, the teen surrendering to dreamland as she lay against her boyfriend's side.
Syaoran nodded. "Good…now for that Card."
"Hai…" Sakura turned to her boyfriend with a sly grin and an impish glint sparked within her emerald orbs. "Think we can handle it?"
The Li Clan warrior smirked as well, his hands instinctively taking residence upon the lacquered hilt of his blade. "I think the question is whether or not it can handle us, ne?"
"Whatever you say, Little Wolf." Sakura retorted with a soft smile.
Both Card Captors stood in a battle ready stance, Syaoran slightly before Sakura in means of protecting his love. Yet she too, inched forward, touching the shoulder of her heart's desire in a comforting gesture. "We do things together now, remember? I'm not letting you protect me anymore."
Syaoran blinked in incredulity at the outlandish declaration his sorceress had just articulated into his conscious. "Not protect you? No, that's NOT happening."
"Onegai Syaoran, I want you to know that I'm watching over you as well." The teen spoke softly yet with such significance and sincerity that the warrior could almost feel himself begin to comply.
"But…" He protested; his amber eyes flickering with the deep distress he possessed of ever letting harm befall his pure angel.
"No buts, Syaoran." She winked. "Besides, there's always that old saying…"
"Nani? What old saying?"
The teen Mistress smiled affectionately to her sorcerer in awe of his adorable gullibility. "Two Card Captors are better than one."
But before the warrior could reply, monolithic columns of earth rose up around them, looming against the sky menacingly. They pushed up from the ground with undeniable force, shattering buildings and destroying the order of the marketplace. Syaoran glowered to the pilasters of mud and gravel in annoyance. "Great…after this is over the whole market will have to be rebuilt."
Sakura acknowledged her boyfriend's comment with a nod of her head and blinked in recognition. "I know!"
Before the warrior could question her, the Mistress of the Clow cards was already airborne on the winged staff, darting and zipping between the ever rising columns of earthen power with surprising agility. An intense feeling of panic swept over the handsome young man and he faltered, his usually sure and decisive steps broken with faults of anxiety. He was powerless to help her from the ground and he knew it.
Meanwhile, Sakura flew over the span of the city, gazing down at her surroundings with intense scrutiny. 'Let's see…of all the Elements…which one can combat Earthy?'
Fire? No…Fiery is almost equal in force.
Wind? Hmm…no, Windy is far too gentle.
Water?
Sakura grinned as she alighted softly onto the peaked rooftop of a corner shop, her emerald eyes focused intently as she analyzed her situation. The Card representing Earth had no longer been so lenient to its pursuers; where only colossal pillars had previously presented a problem, a new shape was beginning to take form from the earthen mass. The soil and rock coagulated into some sort of a snake, writhing and twisting its way to the sky with menace. Sakura took a slight step back in fear, her hands vaguely shaking on the cherry-colored Sealing Staff. Of all the Clow Cards she had faced so far…not one of them had ever seemed as threatening to her as the one now blocking out the late afternoon sun, the celestial orb illuminating the dragon-like earth with a golden glow, making it seem even more omnipotent than she had anticipated. The sorceress squared her shoulders in determination and inhaled a bracing breath. "No more games…" She twirled her wand about in the air and brought the bird-peaked tip down square onto the center of the enchanted card remaining poised in midair. "Watery!"
"Damn no!" Syaoran muttered underneath his breath. "At this rate, she'll get herself hurt or worse…" He shook his head to disperse the thought that had begun to form in his mind's eye.
The physical representation of Watery emerged from the Card in a mass of ocean blue power and slowly began to materialize into an elfin like creature. Her face was a pale blue, her eyes a brilliant shining sapphire; long aqua locks snaked about her shoulders, tiny drops of iridescent water particles clinging to her glossy hair. A fish-like tail replaced her legs and mystical fin like wings spread from her back, casting droplets of water whenever she shifted.
Immediately recognizing her task, Watery sped towards Earthy with an impish grin about her features; twisting and turning this way and that around the being. Earthy turned a split second too late and the current of water slashed through the earthen accumulation like a sharpened blade.
Sakura smiled to herself. "Yatta!"
Meanwhile on the ground, Syaoran closed his eyes and exhaled a sigh of relief. "Maybe it was possible to use Watery after all." But something still made the handsome warrior uneasy, it should not by all standards have been that easy. Sure enough, the sorcerer's fears were soon confirmed as crumbling earth reached his ears. "Oh no…"
"Watery come back." Sakura held the card for a moment in her hands and returned it to its rightful place nestled in her pocket. No something wasn't right, that resonance shouldn't be there.
Sakura spun to the sound and gasped in horror. It hadn't worked after all; Watery had only succeeded in temporarily disabling Earthy, not weakening it for capture. She clutched the staff in her trembling hands, her mind working frantically against time and the enchanted and blatantly dangerous adversary in her path. 'What should I do? Watery just couldn't cut it but…if I could bind it somehow…' The sorceress stole a furtive glance around her surroundings and her eyes widened in realization.
All around her, the effects of Earthy's sudden and devastating earthquake were visible without fail but…the trees around the expanse were completely intact, hadn't moved an inch. 'All of the trees…that's it!' Sakura deftly passed her fingers over her pocket and summoned a card into her awaiting hands, tossing the geometric shape into the air and twirling her wand about before connecting to the power of the being held within the card. "Wood!"
In reaction to the sorceress's growing magic, a being emerged from the flat surface of the Card in a tangle of vines, a few leaves fluttering from the creepers listlessly. Sakura giggled to herself as the charming form of Wood emerged from the tangles and smiled to its Mistress in unquestioned obedience. Long tendrils of olive-colored locks rested in soft waves on the entity's shoulders and here and there would manage to get tangled in the creeping plants covering her shoulders and snaking about her waist. Wood wedged her bottom lip between her teeth as she attempted to remove a lock of hair from the snarl it had encountered in the branches and Sakura laughed softly. "Wood…"
The Card raised her petite head with a nod and patiently awaited her task; the sorceress extended a slender finger in the direction of the regenerating earth mass and signaled for the gentle spirit to do her bidding. "Bind Earthy in your vines!"
Syaoran leaned on his sword casually…overwhelmed with the sense of satisfaction he felt at his love's ability to cope with such a hazardous situation. "Well done, Sakura, well done."
The magical glyph of Clow underneath the feet of the female Card Captor began to glow with a bright light, an untapped power wind swirling about the lovely teen and lifting its audacious fingers under her honey locks in a strange rhythm. Her eyes were shut from the world in deep concentration; absorption of power and determination encompassing her focus as she felt her own powerful collaboration in this act. Wood's leafy limbs shot towards Earthy with astonishing speed and latched themselves around the earth dragon in a fierce grip, every so often constricting the serpent further as it attempted to struggle. Sakura raised her wand above her head.
Return to the form you were destined to be, Clow Card!
She brought the mystical staff onto a point of seemingly solid air as the atmosphere around the bird-peaked tip shimmered and rippled with pure energy, a rectangle ostensibly appearing out of thin air and drawing the earthen mass in towards its glowing shape. It flickered for a moment before all the power of the entity seemed to become contained and settled. Sakura turned a blank card to the panting Wood and smiled gently. "Wood, you return now, too." The pretty Card closed her eyes and smiled in a gesture of thanks to her kind Mistress; her form began to writhe and twist becoming waves of green vines and tendrils, finally settling in one of two cards in the sorceress's hands. The one in question sighed and dropped to her knees tucking her cards into her pocket and grinning in approval as the substantiation of Earthy's destruction began to disappear…all buildings, shops, and paved roadways returning to their previous state.
"Sakura!"
The sorceress turned her head in delight to the gentle and deep voice of her boyfriend, willingly folding into his arms as he clutched her to his chest. She snuggled deeper into his warmth and murmured against his chest. "So…you leap tall buildings to hug me but you don't do a thing to capture Earthy."
Syaoran pulled back and his gazed at her in genuine remorse. "Gomen ne, Sakura; I was powerless against Earthy…there wasn't a thing I could do…even if I wanted to."
Sakura let an amused grin touch her lips. "I was just playing, you know." She fondly ruffled his unkempt, chestnut locks and planted a small kiss on his lips. "My poor gullible, gullible Little Wolf."
He mock pouted and resisted slightly when Sakura reached for his warm lips again. "Mou…I am not gullible."
"Hai…you're right."
"N-nani? I am?"
"Hai…we're both gullible."
Syaoran had to chuckle at the validity in his girlfriend's quip and pressed a soft kiss to her lips, savoring her warmth and wrapping his arms around her slim waist. Sakura felt her knees begin to grow weak and she brought her free hand to the back of Syaoran's neck, gently massaging her fingers into his soft hair as he continued to embrace her.
All around them, the throngs of people in the marketplace began to awaken and stir from the drowsy effects of the Sleep Card's enchantment; mumbling in something analogous to confusion and the frustration at being awoken from their peaceful slumber. A young man attempted to console the young woman at his side and she seemed to ignore him in annoyance. Her tendrils of violet curls lay in disarray about her shoulders and she was nearly crushing the charcoal stick in her hands.
"Now, now…Tomoyo, calm down."
The teen in query faced her boyfriend with a frown, something like a scream barely contained behind her closed lips. "Don't you now, now Tomoyo me, mister!"
Hiragiizawa Eriol backed up in terror and held his hands up as a makeshift shield. "What are you so worked up for anyway?"
Laughter sounded from somewhere off to the side and the half-reincarnation of Clow turned his head to the raven haired teen nearly rolling with hilarity on the streets of the market. "Meiling-san…"
"That." Meiling stated simply, extending a finger towards a rooftop.
Eriol followed her signal with his cobalt eyes and blinked as he glanced to pair of embracing Card Captors upon the crown of an edifice in the distance and then back to his nearly livid girlfriend. "I don't get it…I thought we wanted them to be together doing…that."
"We do!"
"Then the problem is…?"
"The problem is she didn't get to capture it in a living still life." Meiling alleged as she rose to her feet and rubbed a bit of sleep from her crimson eyes.
Tomoyo fell back to the pavement with a thud and covered her lilac eyes with pale fingers. "I'll never be able to pull it off!"
"Hai…not if Syaoran has anything to do with it." The magic-lacking teen quipped with a smile, laughing inwardly at the horrified expression that appeared on the artistic girl's features.

Author's Notes: *Peeks out from behind an impenetrable shield* Hehehe, oi minna-san! So…how has everyone been for the last two months that I haven't *cough* updated? I'm really, really, really sorry! I kept telling myself that I would write so much over the summer but…well I got sidetracked and I realized that the last time I updated this fic was June 24…goodness…that's the longest interval between updates that I've ever had. This chapter took me forever—though I don't know why, it's not very good at all—and I was actually reading a few Trory ((Tristan and Rory ~ Gilmore Girls)) fanfics that my friend has been having me read. Don't worry! S+S is still THE best couple and my main focus! So now that I'm a sophomore in high school, things have just gotten a little more complicated. I have a geometry class first thing in the morning, followed by a Writer's Workshop class, Spanish and then Literature fourth period. *Sighs* I have a lot of homework and I find less and less time to write my fics. This one was actually written over a span of two months so…hopefully none of you figured I dropped off the face of the earth. I promise I'll try to update more often but for now…just please review!
((I'd also like some feedback on whether or not anyone would like to see me write an Escaflowne or Evangelion fanfic…if you do, let me know: my new email is amamizu_no_miko@yahoo.com ~ you can still email me at blueprincess8714@aol.com, too.))
Feel free to email me!
