Intertwining Auras!
Hi, minna-san!! Wow it sure has been a while hasn't it? Well I'm writing another chapter and I hope that it makes up for not updating for so long. I guess you can thank Maurynna and her fanfic-Clow Reed's Mistake- for helping me to start another chapter! ^^ it's really good and I definitely recommend it. Oh and to Litwolf689, he didn't "see" her capturing the cards because even though Syaoran could see many of the events in her life, the cardcaptoring was something that Sakura had to tell Syaoran herself. And about the song/poem, I made it. I needed something that would fit nicely with what was going on and I couldn't find any song to go with it so I decided to make it up. I'm very glad you liked it!! Many thanks to: Chiruri, Archangemon, AZURE ROSAS, MagicalFoci, LitWolf689, SS Cherry Blossom II, and Rankane4. Hehe come to think about it that's not many people but they are the best 'cause they review!! ~*hugs them all*~ ARIGATO!
NEWS FLASH!~ I thought up a penname for myself^^ Kirei-Yume- I think it would mean beautiful dream but I'm not quite sure but *warning* this isn't a permanent thing until I get that verification email, okay?

Chapter 3- Part I- History of Darkness
In a mysterious, dark cavern, a faint, lonesome candle burns in the engulfing darkness. *poof* The light abruptly went out. Suddenly, a light in the darkness appears again, this time moving as it burned. Lord Huai Dan's face appeared in the torch's dim light. It was a ghastly sight, for this young man's face was handsome yet so filled with his lust for power that it made him seem cruel, the very essence of evil. How a face could be so striking yet so evil was what the power of greed can do. But before this life of power and magic, Huai Dan was a man of honor. He was chivalrous, a man of his word. That was all before he stumbled into the world of dark magic, before he came upon this very cavern. Filled beyond comprehension with the ancient texts of former wizards, warlocks, witches, sorcerers, sorceresses, and even…Clow Reed's most valuable and powerful spelled books of magic. After that fateful day, Huai Dan's life changed forever. This is his story.
-The Path-
When he was naught but a little boy, he was good, innocent. Never caused trouble for anyone or made mischief. Rather, he was a quiet, small boy, shy, yet he had many friends that he wasn't aware of. Always there to give a helping hand, to stop a fight from happening between friends. He lived in a secluded area in China around the time after Clow Reed passed away. The village, Xiefa, filled with peace and wonder, was hidden from view and not very well known and so was an ideal location for the mystical and magical to hide their most precious books in a safe haven, where hopefully it would be protected and unknown to anyone but them…
-small home far off from the cavern-
"No one will ever be able to find this forbidden library," said the sickened and frail Clow Reed, to his ever-faithful guardians, the ferocious Keroberos and the deadly angel, Yue from his bed. "It is…hidden from view of curious eyes, save…for an unsuspecting young man. When the day comes that he should…appear, you, Keroberos…and you, Yue, must search out the two legendary…saviors. They…are the only ones strong enough…and the only pair of…soul mates, in this galaxy…You two and my…later self must help them fulfill…their destiny…to save the world when the day that the Lord…of Evil…sets foot in this…library…" And those were his last words before Clow breathed his last breath and a healthy baby boy was born…
-18 years later-
A young eighteen-year-old Huai Dan ventured further into the vast forest just beyond his home in Xiefa. Not understanding why he wanted to go "on a hike", he went on, talking to himself to keep away feelings of being lost from entering his mind.
Why am I doing this? I believe I'm losing it thought Huai, as he walked cautiously through the quiet forest. There cannot be anything in this ridiculously gigantic forest that's worth anyone's attention.
"Strange. There's no sound…anywhere," remarked Huai to himself, as he walked the path toward his future.
-couple hours later-
Huai stumbled on a tree root. "Oof!" and he fell flat on his face. "really, this is ridiculous," he complained as he picked himself up. "I'm as lost as a chick without its mother and it's not like I can just go up to a woodland animal and say 'can you show me the way out of this wretched forest?' He kept on walking past the bubbling brook and the draping weeping willows. "Well…I have to say, this place is astounding." He paused a moment and snorted. "however did I manage to find this? I don't think- oh…"
Huai stopped in front of a massive cave opening. "How odd. Whatever is this doing here? In the middle of nowhere, no less." Huai looked up and down, inspecting the opening. "Well, since I'm here and it seems harmless enough, I may as well go in and explore a bit." He turned around, looked at a tree and nodded. Huai went up to it and broke off a sturdy-looking branch. "Now, for some light." He patted his trouser pockets and exclaimed, "Drat! I know I brought some tinder along with me." He searched his hidden tunic pocket and with an "Ah-ha!" he triumphantly held up a stone and tinder. Huai expertly struck the stone, causing a spark to catch onto the branch. "There!" He smiled and prepared himself to walk into the cave.
The sounds of his footsteps echoed through the tunnel. Darker and darker it got, until the only source of light was Huai Dan's flickering torch, which was soon to be burned out. Damn, the light's disappearing…I have to think of something, but what? thought Huai frantically. Wait. What's that I see? "A light!" cried Huai out loud. He dropped the extinguishing torch and ran toward the beckoning light, mesmerizing Huai with its brightness. Suddenly, Huai was flooded with light coming from all directions. He hurriedly covered his eyes. "AHHH!!!! I'M BLIND!!!" wailed the startled Huai Dan. (a/n^_^;; a bit dramatic isn't he?) After a few moments, he cautiously moved his hands away and blinked. "Sugio…" breathed the amazed Huai.
Thousands upon thousands of books everywhere, stacked up into the highest corner down to the very floor. It was a huge, colossal library, filled beyond capacity. As he gazed around, he spotted a recliner, only one, beside a fireplace and a small lamp table. Beautiful. However this is extremely strange. There is no one here yet there sits a chair as if it's meant for only one person to be here…phew I do think that I need a rest. That walk really tired me out for some reason. With that thought in mind, he headed toward the recliner, ready to take a little nap and relax. He eased himself onto the comfy recliner. "Ahhhh," he sighed, smiling contently. After this, I'll try to find my way back home…And he nodded off, dreaming.
~Dream Sequence~
"What? Where am I?" Huai rubbed his eyes and blinked. "AHHH!!!" (he says that a lot, ne? ._.) Huai rose up from the cold, bare ground. He looked around and found that he was in an underground tunnel, again. "Why does this happen to me?" he said mournfully. "Well, I guess I'll just see what's here." He began walking when suddenly he fell. "Whoa! Whoops!" He rubbed his legs, which felt tingly. "Ow." Huai felt around on the ground and picked up a long, sturdy stick, sufficient to Huai as a walking stick. Huai groaned as he rose again, happy to get away from the cold, cold ground. He slowly made his way toward whichever way he was walking. It didn't matter much to him at the second. He just wanted a way out of the hell-tunnel he was in.
Huai was in an extremely tight situation because the tunnel was so small and cramped. He started crawling because there was almost no room to walk anymore. The hole got smaller and smaller until Huai felt like he was going to faint at any given second. He only kept crawling toward where ever he had to go…which he did not know where. All of a sudden, he fell on his stomach. "Aargh," he said. He picked himself up and saw that the hole had widened considerably. He rubbed his head, shaking away the dizzy, faint feeling in his head. Huai gazed at the site before him. It was the same library he was just in except this time it was filled with not only books but dozens of people in strange-looking clothes.
Some were wearing long, dark cloaks over tunics of many colors and tight pants. Others took to wearing clothing of their own designs. There were elegantly dressed women with swept up purple, blue, black, or pink hair. There were even beasts, magnificent lions to regal dragons of every size. But one in particular stood out from the rest and Huai noticed him immediately. He wore a dark blue cloak with a collar up to his neck and a long navy blue magician's gown. There was a star symbol on the back of his cloak but that was all. It was very simple yet there was an aura around him that seemed to pull every man, woman, and beast in that room toward him. All seemed to gravitate to him. It was his magic and sense of kindness that drew people to him.
Huai started walking toward him, trying not to bump into anyone when he tripped and bumped into…nothing. "NANI?!?" Huai lifted his hand to the nearest person and saw his own hands pass through her. "Oh, my LORD!!" He scrambled onto his feet and wildly flailed his hands everywhere. He became so disturbed that he crazily ran in all direction, becoming agitated to the point of unconsciousness. Stop. A voice suddenly appeared in his head. I must say, watching you may be amusing but in the end, it would do you no good to be unconscious in your dreams.
"Who are you?! What are you doing in my head?" cried the troubled Huai Dan. He gripped his head and tried to cover his ears, to no avail.
I am the one you see before you.
Huai jerked up and saw that he was standing before the man whose aura was so strong, so alluring.
Time has stopped for the moment while I have a chat with you, young boy from another time. The man looked amused and calm, as if he knew this was going to happen.
"Where am I? Why am I transparent? How can no one se me?" demanded Huai, who finally looked a bit saner after his little episode. [well wouldn't you act a bit crazy if no one could see or hear u?]
Patience, Huai Dan.
Huai looked suspiciously at the cloaked man standing in front of him. "How is it you know my name?" inquired Huai, circling the man warily.
Oh, I know many things. More than you could ever imagine possible. The past, the future, even now. I see all. I am Clow Reed.
Huai gasped. He heard of this man before. Many in stories told to little children as bedtime stories. The blue magician, all-powerful and all-knowing. "Y-y-your Clow REED?"
Yes.
Clow looked at Huai in amusement when his eyes bulged out at the fact that standing before him was the most notorious magician of all time, doing good yet shrouded in mystery. No one knew his origins or of his livelihood. Not even where he lived. "W-what do you want with me?"
Ah but that is a good question. What do I want with you? That shall be determined after I find out a few things.
"Like what?" asked Huai skeptically.
Why are you here? No one knows about this rendezvous. However did you find your way into this meeting?
"Well, um." Huai started babbling about a big library and a small tunnel.
Unknowingly to Huai, Clow knew the answers to his own questions. He knew everything about this young man. Except for one crucial fact. One that even Clow could not guess. Even the powerful Clow Reed didn't know everything…
-This is the man who could end the whole world, as Clow knew it. Magic could be wiped out forever. For this is the prophesy of the Oracle. Written in the Book of Prophesies, untold to all but the most powerful magicians -
In the world where good meets evil
The time will come when Magic will disappear
The man who walks into a land of knowledge
Shall have the power
To destroy the Magical world
Two souls to save this world
Two to balance out evil
Two lives brought together in times of need
Will they realize their destiny
And become one
Before it is too late?
± That is the words of the Oracle, who answers a question with not an answer but another question. A riddle within a riddle. ±
Come with me. Clow interrupted Huai's nonsensical words and walked toward a recliner and a small lamp table that suddenly appeared. Do you recognize this setting?
"I'm sleeping there! Or I was sleeping there?" Huai said, confused. He distinctly remembered falling asleep there and as he expected, there he was asleep. "What? But…how? I know I was there but I'm here too? How can I be in two places at once?" With every word Huai spoke he became more perplexed and befuddled.
Clow chuckled and put up a hand. Do not get yourself too worked up about that. Did you know that you're in a dream state right now? But you are here now and that is all that matters. Clow raised his hand again and two more chairs materialized. He sat down and gestured with a hand. Please sit. I advise it.
Huai sat down. Every now and then he would sneak a peek at his sleeping form in another chair. To him it was quite a shock to his system and Huai was to the point that he thought nothing could surprise him anymore. Unfortunately he was wrong. There were more surprises to come for him.
Are you aware of the fact that magic is real?
"M-maybe."
Hmm you are not sure that it is real but you wish it with all your heart that it is, correct? Clow half-smiled at the speechless guy. Did you know that you too have magic inside of you waiting to get out?
At that Huai choked. "WH-WHAT??"
Yes Huai, even you have magic. I can teach it to you too. For you are unusually very conscious of the spiritual and the auras around you. That is why you are so adept at everything. Once you learn something you never forget. It becomes a part of you. Not everybody has that ability to learn and adapt so well. Would you like to know how to do magic? I can test you to see what you might know deep down inside of inside.
"Honto? Can you?" Huai breathed out. He was the picture of amazement. Huai was one of the few in his village who did not despise magic or the likes of magic. He always wondered why his people were like that. When he was younger, he asked why they don't and it seemed as if they all gave the same answer, "It is nothing. Just old superstition of ours." It never made sense to him. The villagers weren't telling him everything and he knew it. And now he was about to do what no villager has ever dared do before, learn it.
Yes but not much. I cannot hold these people in this time forever.
Huai snapped out of his reverie. "OH! They're still there!"
Clow stared at Huai and sweat-dropped. He just shook his head and sighed.
"What do we start with?"
But this is on one condition. You must never, ever return to this area. It is forbidden.
Huai looked at Clow, surprised. "Nani? Why?"
That is none of your concern. Do you swear never to come here again?
"Yes I do. I swear it on my honor." He knelt down and put his right hand on his heart.
Very well. Rise. Clow put a hand on Huai's shoulder. Now we begin.
"What do I do first?" asked Huai excitely.
We meditate.
At that, Huai fell anime-style. After a few moments, he picked himself up.
Clow looked at Huai solemnly. Did you expect to use magic right away? That would be the biggest mistake ever to do that. You would die for you do not know how to control your magic...No matter how little you have, you must know how to control it and understand it before you can even do a simple spell. Clow said that gravely, knowing the consequences of letting an untrained novice use a spell.
With every word Clow said, Huai became increasingly aware of what he was getting into. Once he begins, there was no looking back. Huai's face took on the look of a determined soldier, fighting till his last breath. He would not give up. This was what he dreamed of ever since he was a little boy. Now he was given the chance to learn, his only chance. This was a challenge Huai could not resist. "Let's…let's get started then."
Clow nodded, knowing that what Huai learned, he would never forget.
For the next 24 hours, Clow taught Huai how to meditate. He noticed that Huai did not take long to understand the concept of reaching into himself and finding the part of himself that was his core, his soul, his magic. Huai conquered this concept quickly and as soon as he did, he felt a whoosh go through is very being. Huai suddenly felt light-headed. Clow explained to him that that feeling was his magic being awakened inside of him. This feeling was new…For the first time in Huai's life, he felt alive. Like he was finally set free. He loved the feeling, this swept up and exhilarating adrenaline. He breathed it all in.
Now try and put that magic in you into a small object. Something that you know very well. Contain that magic for as long as you can.
Without opening his eyes once, Huai pictured a katana, his favorite sword that he was extremely skilled at using. He pulled all the magic within him into the small, slender sword, storing every bit of magic he could find into it. He firmly kept the magic from escaping, concentrating his will into keeping it contained.
Clow watched over his pupil, marveling at the ease Huai had handling his magic. He never saw anything like it. Huai didn't even break a sweat, unlike the others Clow knew who couldn't last this long without sweating.
This lasted for many hours of the time they spent in meditation. Finally Clow spoke up.
It would be wise of you to come to an end, young one. Let the magic out slowly and evenly. Control its flow out of the katana. Be sure that you let it know that you control it. Otherwise your very own magic could corrupt you.
Huai reluctantly let it go. He did not want to let it go. He wanted this feeling to stay within him forever and never leave.
Clow saw the reluctance in Huai's face and knew that he had to say something to the 18-year-old. Right now you may be feeling as if you don't want to let it go. Huai flickered his eyes in response and let Clow continue. But you must know, the magic you have is not very much. I can see it myself. However the amount you have is good for doing simple spells like conjuring wind, water, and fire.
"I see," said Huai. He hung his head in disappointment.
Do not be sad. You should be glad to have every bit of magic you have. It is a part of you. Cherish it. But, this you must know. In order to control your magic, you must have a strong will and you must fight the urge to want more magic. And never, ever try to learn more than you should. It would either corrupt you or kill you.
Huai nodded solemnly. They continued with the lessons.
-at the same time-
Bright, deadly flames licked at the thatch houses of Xiefa. Panic and fear struck the hearts of the Xiefans. Men and women tried their hardest to douse the inferno while children cried for their mommies and old people attempted to move their feeble bodies to safety away from the conflagration. Young men helped the adults while young women rounded up the children to take them to the meadows.
Soon enough, things became placid and calm after they extinguished most of the fire. Leaders emerged from this disaster and they all fought to organize the village in the best way possible. They formed a council where they would decide what to do.
They lost their only home. It would take them years to rebuild their finely structured, beautiful, and comfortable thatched homes. Meanwhile they would have to build temporary homes. That would be easy to do. However, they worried, for these homes would not be able to provide much warmth during the winter, which was coming soon enough.
In a tavern, 20 men were convened there in hopes of making a decision that would benefit their people. Cries and shouts were heard all over the room.
An elderly man stood up and said in a sonorous voice that projected through the entire room. "SILENCE!" All the men quieted down immediately. This elder man was much respected in the village, acknowledged and loved by all. His name was Hong Chen. "We shall begin this meeting properly and orderly. Who shall speak first?"
One man boldly stood up. "We will kill the enemies who sought to destroy our land and people!!" cried Dong Luo, a man noted for his fearsome sword skills and his strategic mind.
"No, that is unwise. It is for the best that we do not in anyway make any unnecessary enemies. Dong Luo, we are a peaceful people. We do not make rash decisions. We will do what we can to repair our fair village and restore it to its former status," replied a man quietly, sitting in a corner. All eyes turned to him. It was Dao Wong. Piercing, slate-gray eyes stared into the men of Xiefa. Raven-black hair pulled back into a loose braid hung over his shoulder. The enigmatic man rose up regally and stood before his people.
"Then what do you propose we do that, Wong?" sneered Luo.
"We let the people decide. It is their home and ours. We cannot have a meaningful meeting without all the people of Xiefa. I propose that we call a village congregation in order to make a fair and honest decision." Having said his part, Dao walked past his fellow men and went out the door with but not a sound.
The councilmen were stunned. Never in their whole lives had they seen and heard Dao Wong speak as much as a sentence, much less a whole speech. Wong was a quiet man, brooding and forever researching whatever he could get his hands on. Village women gossiped about this strange man who mysteriously came into their village one day and never left. Young women sought after him. Dao Wong was not without strength or good looks. With his clear, gray eyes, a smooth face, a chiseled chin, and a great body physique, he was a handsome man of twenty, although he was seemingly unaware of the looks women gave him wherever he went. Many Xiefan men chose to ignore the fact that Wong could probably defeat them all in battle with only one hand and no weapons. Jealous, awed, or merely frightened of the man, the villagers discreetly left Wong to his own doings. Wong only passed by the village once or twice a day, searching for the most peculiar items. He chose not to live within Xiefa. For whatever reasons, he would not say. Intelligent and shrewd, Wong was not a man to cross.
"Well then, men! Gather up the people and we shall have our "proper" meeting," commanded Chen. Everyone suddenly started moving again, doing their assigned tasks. Chen carefully rose up from his chair. He was not young anymore and he knew it. Soon enough he would have to step down from his duty as the Clan Leader and he would have to pick a man to succeed him. There were many men and young men vying for his approval. However, Chen's mind was made up. He thought of all men in his village and could think of no one but Huai Dan as leader even if he was only a child to the standards of the men. Eighteen was an age to find oneself and a beloved. It would be difficult to name Huai as future Clan Leader. There would be opposition, which was expected.
Chen crossed to the window that overlooked the village square. He heaved a great sigh. "Wherever is Huai Dan? He should have returned to the village by now. He must have been caught up with something," mused Chen. "That boy gets distracted so easily more often than not. Sometimes I wonder how he ever passed the Szojuku Test at the age of 13, the youngest ever to do so. However, there's something about Huai that I can see…he's not like anyone in this village or anyone I've ever encountered. There's only one other man I know of like Huai and that's Dao Wong, who is an enigma in itself." Chen pondered over the two different young men. He put his hands in his long sleeves, much like a kimono. "Well, I suppose I should head over to the village huts and see how the people are faring."
-Huai Dan-
Your lessons are finished, Huai Dan. You may stop. Clow Reed searched the young man's face and nodded, satisfied with what he saw in Huai. I must admit you have been one of the quickest students I have ever had. I truly enjoyed teaching you. Thank you.
"Iie, I should be thanking you. Clow Reed, I am honored that you have taught me what you have. I will never forget what you've taught me. Domo arigato." Huai Dan bowed.
Spoken like a true leader. Clow smiled. I should hope that you've learned well. Now let me say something to you man-to-man and not as teacher-to-student. Are you willing to listen to me?
"Of course, Clow," Huai said, surprised at what Clow Reed was asking for. "What is it you need to say?"
Listen carefully. You do realize that this library is full of fascinating books of magic and sorcery, correct?
Huai nodded cautiously.
Huai Dan, you must swear to me that you will never return to this library. It is forbidden do so. Consider this, no one was allowed to enter in the first place. This is the first that someone has been able to set foot in here. That is why it is dangerous for you to return a second time. You would not be allowed. The entire forest would turn against you in a mere second. Swear to me that you will not return.
Huai Dan opened his mouth. "I sw-."
Clow Reed raised his hand to stop him. Wait. Clow whispered a spell that Huai Dan could not hear. Go ahead. On your honor, you will keep and hold this oath.
"I swear on my honor as a swordsman, I will never set foot in this library ever again, never to return." As Huai recited the oath, lightening struck the ground before him. Huai flew back unconscious from the near impact of the lightening bolt.
Clow Reed slowly brought his hands together and said, "Sacramentum!" Forgive me for doing this. I cannot allow the slightest chance of your return. I do not know why but I have to be cautious. There is an unusual aura surrounding you that had not caught my eye earlier. Be it with the gods to protect you and your loved ones from the one that can do the most harm. With that, Clow sent his magic to Huai, creating a whirlwind around Huai. The wind spell whirled him out of the space he met Clow, into his real body, out of the library and to the forest edge. Not a thing was disturbed as it went by. It gently set Huai down on the ground a half a mile before Xiefa. Quietly as a mouse, it dissipated into nothing.
-15 minutes later…-
The unconscious Huai, lying there vulnerably, was found by a strange, black creature. It slid over to Huai, looking over the slumped figure curiously. It gave a rasping cackle as it got a gleam in its beady, red eyes. Slowly, it oozed its way onto Huai's body. Its inky body seeped into Huai's skin as it gradually disappeared…into Huai's body. It lay dormant inside Huai, glad to have found a human host, waiting for the right moment to attack. There was no worry for the black creature called the Imoutaz, for it would not have to wait for long…
