A Secret is Revealed
"I wondered when I would be seeing you, Serenity." Replied Kaho.
Cosmos, or should I say, Serenity's eyes filled with tears. It had been so long since she had seen her sensei. At least two hundred years. One question remained.
"Kaho-sensei, how can it be that you're still alive? I mean shouldn't you be dead by now?" asked Cosmos.
Kaho laughed, "Of course I should. In fact I did die, but I was reincarnated. I could sense your aura approaching Japan, and I decided to come back."
"Back?"
"The first time I came was about a year ago." Stated Kaho, "I had to help the CardCaptor become the master of the Cards."
"What?!" exclaimed Cosmos, "Someone's the master of my father's cards?!?! How can this be? Who is it?"
"I cannot tell you at this time," replied Kaho, "but you will find out sooner or later."
"I rather it be sooner." Pouted Cosmos. (Usagi is still in there everybody!)
"Don't worry, your paths will cross," smiled Kaho, "the fates made sure of that."
"Damn the fates." Cried Cosmos, "It's their fault I'm in this predicament!"
"So, it's true then? The Moon Kingdom was destroyed?" Cosmos nodded, "Oh! My poor Serenity! What a terrible thing to have to live through!" Kaho held out her arms and Cosmos ran into them. They stood, just hugging each other for a long time.
Sakura and Tomoyo were walking home, when Sakura felt a familiar aura. It's that woman again! She realised.
"Tomoyo, she's here!" shouted Sakura to her friend, as she ran towards the Temple.
Syaoran was practicing with his sword when he felt strong magical energies. He lost concentration, and nearly cut his hand off. There's no time for this now! He thought. Syaoran changed into his robes, grabbed his sword and nearly ran over Wei as he ran out the door.
Kero was napping on Sakura's pillow. He bolted awake as he felt a strong silver aura. Hmmm, that feels so familiar, and yet I can't place it! Who is it coming from? He thought.
He flew out the open window, reverted to his powerful form, and followed the aura.
Yukito was walking down the street towards his house, when he felt very tired. He began to fall backwards, but a pair of white wings enveloped him. He started to glow. When the wings drew back, the person was no longer Yukito, it was a man with long silver hair, wearing white and silver clothes. From his back sprouted white wings.
There is an unfamiliar aura! He thought, My mistress my be in danger!
He lifted of the ground, and flew off in search of the power.
The two women pulled away from their embrace. Cosmos looked into the eyes of her favourite teacher. Realizing what she must do, she averted her gaze.
"I guess you know why I'm here then." Cosmos said quietly.
Kaho nodded. "You are free to take what belongs to you. I know you miss your friends very much."
"You will fall into a deep sleep."
"I know the risks Serenity. You do not have to inform me." Replied Kaho.
"Lie down then." Kaho did as she was told. Cosmos kneeled beside her and placed a hand on her chest. It began to glow silver. "Kaho, I will not be able to visit you often, but I will try." Kaho nodded again. The teacher's eyes began to close. The light brightened. Soon there was a little key in her hand with the symbol of Mars. Rae's key. She thought, I'm so sorry Kaho-sensei! She leaned over and gave her old friend a kiss on the forehead.
The CardCaptor gang all arrived at the Mizuki family temple at the same time (don't ask me how!).
"Did you guys feel the aura too?" asked Sakura. Syaoran, Cerberus and Yue all nodded. "It's that woman. Let's go find out who or what she is!"
The gang all ran towards the sacred Sakura tree. There on the ground was Mizuki-sensei and the woman. To everyone's surprise, the crying girl planted a kiss on the sensei's forehead.
"Did you do to her what you did to Mr. Kinomoto?" yelled Syaoran. "Did you hurt her as well?"
The girl looked up shocked. She didn't seemed to sense them approaching.
"Syaoran!" scolded Sakura, "My father wasn't hurt, just tired!" Syaoran blushed. "Who are you?" asked the emerald-eyed fourth grader.
"That isn't important. Now if you don't mind I'm going to leave." Said the woman, turning her back on them.
"No, you're not!" Syaoran summoned his sword and charged at Cosmos. Just before he reached her, she spun around and held out her hand. A sword appeared in her hand. She blocked Syaoran's attack.
"As descendents of the great Clow Reed, I would have thought you learned not to attack whilst your opponents back is turned."
Everyone looked at the woman in shock. Syaoran dropped his sword. How did she know about Clow Reed? Syaoran asked her suspiciously, "How do you know about Clow Reed?"
The girl smirked. "That's for me to know." She turned to Sakura and said, "And I suppose you are the cards' new master." She glanced at Cerberus and Yue.
Now Yue was mad, "State your name, and tell us how you know about the cards and about Clow Reed!"
"My name is Cosmos. Sailor Cosmos." The girl said to Yue, with an unknown emotion in her eyes. "The reason I know about the cards is simple. I knew Clow Reed's daughter."
She jumped onto the wall and disappeared into the night sky.
Sakura turned to Cerberus and Yue and asked, "Clow Reed had a daughter?"
"Yes." The two guardians answered together. Yue then said, "I should be getting Yukito home." He flew away.
"What's with him?" asked Tomoyo.
"It's quite simple actually." Said Cerberus, "He fell in love with Clow Reed's daughter."
______________________________
A.N. I mad this chapter about a page longer than I usually do, so I hope you like it! If you're wondering why Sailor Cosmos said she knew Clow Reed's daughter instead of is Clow Reed's daughter, it's because she's not just Serenity anymore. But when Kaho was talking to her, she was talking to the Serenity part specifically. Just to clear that up. Have a great day!
