Chapter 2

A guardian is born

A guardian is lost

Equality?

"Welcome Kinomoto-kun, and Kinomoto-san," Eriol greeted as Touya and Sakura stepped up onto the Opi roof. He was still surveing the city.

Yue glanced towards Sakura, and Kero downright stared.

"Eriol! You can't mean her to be guardian of Earth can you?! She doesn't even know any self-defense tactics..or magic!" Kero said flatly.

Eriol chuckled. "Kero, no one Earth-born knows magic. Even still, they need a guardian."

He turned and smiled at Sakura and Touya. "Kinomoto-kun, you can leave now. We will return your sister to you, but right now what is to be said is for her ears alone. Mabye she will tell you..but for now..."

Touya nodded, and went back inside to wait for Sakura.

"Who are you three?" Sakura asked, a touch of fear in her voice.

Kero smiled and took the chance to introduce himself. Very loudly of course. "I am the Guardian Beast of Htrae! Keroberous! Call me Kero!" (a/n: XD hehehehehe)

Sakura laughed. "Nice to meet you. But what is Htrae?"

Kero anime fell, and his limbs twitched.

Eriol chuckled, and Yue didn't look amused.

"My name is Yue. I'm from Erebus," Yue introduced himself, coldly and formally.

"Erebus...?"

Eriol smiled. "My turn now I guess. I am Eriol. From Amore."

"Hoe?"

"Kinomoto-san, we have come to talk to you about your Serainean prince," Eriol stated.

Sakura's face became almost desparate. "Do you know where he is?! If you do, tell me!"

"Calm down. I can't pinpoint his location. Listen, we are from the other three dimensions in Earth's feild. Serai is coming to battle because of-"

"Syaoran-e's kidnapping," Sakura finished, using the Serainean honorific for her lover.

Eriol nodded although he raised an eyebrow in amusmant at the loving honorific Sakura had used. "In a matter of hours, they will be upon Earth. Earth has no guardian, and seeing as you know Syaoran so much, we were thinking of you becoming the guardian."

"I really don't understand Eriol-san," Sakura said in a apologetic tone.

"Each world has a guardian. I'm Amore's guardian, Yue is Erebus's guardain, and Kero is Htrae's guardian. Earth has been without one for so long, because it doesn't have magic in it's borders, and it has been on relativly good terms with Serai. But that has changed..."

Sakura nodded slowly. "What would it take for me to become Earth's guardian?"

Yue murmured, "Just like that..she accepts just like that?"

Kero raised an eyebrow at Sakura.

"I want to help Syaoran get back home, and help stop this battle, which is what I'm guessing your job is here. But wait, what about Serai?" Sakura said/asked.

Kero sighed sadly, for once being serious. "Sakura,-" he used her first name because of impatiance- " Serai's guardian is currently being held captive by the enemy."

"You mean..Syaoran?!" Sakura exclaimed. Her heart ached for Syaoran. On top of being a prince...he has a whole planet on his shoulders?

"Now Sakura, we have a ritual to complete. This is how all guardians are made. And it does require magic from us. So come-" Eriol started, but he didn't get to finish.

The roof had blown apart.

The attacker stared at what used to be the Opi building. It was now nothing more than a pile of rubble. He chuckled slightly. A breeze stirred as a spell was hurled at him from the rubble.

He sidestepped on the concrete and it flew past him.

"Should've figured they'd be alive still," he grumbled under his breath.

A orb of light was revealed as the rest of the building collapsed around it. Inside was Eriol, Sakura, and Kero- who was holding the sheild.

It blinked out once the danger of being crushed was gone.

The attacker watched from the still shadows he blended into. The girl, Sakura, was franticaly screaming for her Touya, who was revealed behind a sheild with Yue. Safe.

"You really need to be on your guard more," the attacker jeered the Universal language, "I would have expected better from the guardian of Amore. Along with the guardian of Erebus and Htrae."

Sakura had a puzzled look upon her face, for she didn't understand a word coming out of this person's mouth.

He smirked. "Naive little girl. Why are you involved?" He chuckled in Japanese now.

"Because I-!" Sakura's answer was cut off as Kero clamped a hand around her mouth.

"Be quiet! Don't give him any useful information to use against you!" Kero hissed in her ear.

Sakura nodded slowly to show that she understood.

Eriol stepped forward, holding his staff ready. "You might as well come out of the shadows. I already know who you are," He called clamly.

"Yue, Kero, take her out of here. I don't want her to see her beloved like this. Take Kinomoto-kun also." Eriol commanded telepathically.

Without showing that they had been told, Yue and Kero grabbed Sakura, Yue still held Touya, and vanished from that spot.

Eriol kept his gaze steady and dead on that person.

Hiirigaziwa Eriol. Hmph. the person thought. "Isn't it nice of you to take the defensless one away from the scene of battle. How sweet."

Eriol regarded this person calmly. "Syaoran-o," he stated using the Serai honorific, "why are you doing this?"

Syaoran smirked. "I could ask you the same thing. Why are you going to fight on Earth's side against Serai?"

Eriol's calmed looked like it would shatter any moment, but he held steady and kept his face clear. "Aren't you technicaly fighting for Earth against Serai?"

Syaoran laughed. Not his usual laugh at all. A laugh without mirth and without feeling. "Actually Hiirigaziwa, Serai will destroy Earth for us, and in the process we will destroy Serai."

That did the trick. Shock was written all over Eriol's face. Even though he knew that Syaoran had to be under someone else's control, it had to be someone that was from Serai. They were the ones with that technology.

"How could you?" Eriol asked, his eyes become blue ice.

"It is quite easy, I could by using many of the powers given to me from birth. My brother and I will do it together Hiirigaziwa," Syaoran hissed in answer, sending a final burst of power at Eriol before vanishing.

Eriol collapsed onto his knees, panting from the strain of sheilding himself from Syaoran. "He's lost his mind..."
