Chapter 5: "I, Clow Reed, creator of the Clow cards. . ."
Disclaimer: Hey, hey, it's me, it's me, the cliff-hanger author you all love to hate! ^_^ I don't own CCS! I'm only using them for my own amusement, and the only chara I own is Hikari. I know most of you probably hate me for that nasty cliff-hanger I had for the last chapter. ^_^* Well, you're going to hate me more. This is well...a flashback chapter! GYAYAAHAHAHAH! *hides from the angry mob of reviewers* Gyah! Sorry! I'm really really sorry, but I said there would be flashbacks, and there will be. So :P to you. Read and Review please? This chapter is for Mateem Bluewing, who wanted to see more of Clow Reed's past. ^_^
The dark haired magician known as Clow Reed smiled with satisfaction as he closed the Clow Book. He pushed the glasses that were further down his nose, and then sighed happily. Madoushi wanted to see him, but he had to finish his work with the Clow Cards. She yelled at him for it, calling him mad, but he was used to the ridicule. They had all called him crazy, but he knew he had created something great. The two Guardians he had created for the Clow Cards were of the Sun and Moon. Yue and Cerberos. Cerberos would be the mentor of the Card Master, and Yue would be in the judgement, to see if this 'Master' was really worthy of the honour.
But there was still something bothering him. His decendants of the future, and one in particular, was in need of a guardian, he could feel it. Clow's magic was already drained from creating the cards, but he could make a pendant. Yes, that was it. (If I create a pendant, then the most powerful decendant that comes from my family will become the protector of this particular decendant.) "Hmm, this will be interesting."
"What are you talking to yourself about now?" It was the unmistakeable voice of Madoushi. Clow turned around and saw the beautiful dark haired woman standing in the doorway. He smiled faintly, as the female magician entered his house. "You know Clow, talking to yourself is not healthy."
"Ah, Madoushi, you're always a welcome ray of sunshine in my life," Clow smiled. The woman scowled at him for the insult. "Tell me, what do I owe the pleasure of this visit?" He was feeling extremely happy at his acheivement, and the prospect of annoying Madoushi. Clow liked the other magician, but not as a love interest.
"I want to see what is so important that you refused to meet me," Madoushi explained, sitting down on one of Clow's couches. "Is it your little book?"
"My *little book* as you call it, is quite powerful, Madoushi," Clow replied, a small smirk tugging at his lips. Clow wasn't an ugly man, far from it, by all means. Many women wanted to have him as their own, but he politely declined their company. That just made him all the more attractive. Although Madoushi seemed to have a personal vendetta against him. "I am now going to create something for my decendents in the future."
"What?" Madoushi demanded, wondering what was really so important in this crazy man's life. [For those of you who don't know, Madoushi is a magician from Clow Reed's Time...she appeared in the first CCS movie. She apparently has something against him because he has more power than she does.]
"A pendant," Clow replied, then concentrated. (Dark light mixed with twin partner of ancient times. Bring forth the protector of Xiao Lang. Release!) A bright flash blinded Madoushi, and she scowled again, then saw Clow holding an onyx pendant which had his first name in Cantonese. "One of my decendants will say this incantation, and they will become the protector of my Xiao Lang."
"Your Small Wolf?" Madoushi asked dryly, giving the older man a weary look. "You've really lost it this time, haven't you?" She wasn't in the mood for Clow's psycho babble. Yet she stayed. She really needed to get some help. Maybe she was going crazy. Just like Clow.
Clow Reed laughed, and smiled warmly at the skeptical woman before him. Even at her worst, Madoushi always made him smile. Maybe it was because he found amusement in aggrivating her. "You always doubt me, Madoushi. But mark my words, one day, you will not doubt the power I have." Madoushi scowled once more at his words, knowing that even though Clow Reed was thought to be crazy, his power was something not to be made fun of. (Xiao Lang. . . the Card Master is not the only one to have a Guardian. You will have yours too. . .)
Madoushi frowned, knowing Clow had gone into one of his thinking sequences. (Clow Reed. Creator of these Clow Cards. You have stolen my fortune because your power is greater than mine. We'll see. We'll see who is more powerful.)
"I, Clow Reed, creator of the Clow cards," Clow began, as he ignored the look on Madoushi's face. "Will choose two people to reincarnate myself, when the time comes. My power will live on in these two people, and they will no doubt be linked to the Card Master."
"You've lost it," Madoushi snapped, as she glared at the dark haired magician. "I'm not staying around for such nonsense. Good day, Clow Reed." She got up from her seat on the couch, and exited Clow's house angrily. (I have a score to settle with you Clow Reed. One day, yes, one day, we will see who has more power.)
Clow looked in wonderment as the hot-tempered young woman exited his house. He knew Madoushi had a temper, but this just further proved how short it was. (She has the spirit of the Fiery card with the temprementalness of the Watery. Ah, Madoushi. You just don't understand. The Clow Cards...they are my legacy. My life. They're me.)
