Chapter 6: "Guys, do you see that? It's glowing!"


Disclaimer: You've made it this far, have ya? 0_0 Wow, thanks! ^_^ Don't own CCS, never have, never will. I'm not that creative. Ah well. I've finally gotten off my lazy butt and I've written the chapter to end the nasty cliffhanger. I only own Hikari, and if you want to use her as a chara, all you have to do is email me! ^_^ I'd be honoured, ya know? Anyways, here's the 6th chapter...Dude, I've written this much and I'm still interested in it? Dude! 0_0 Read and Review please! I'd appriciate it.


"How touching. Why didn't you invite me, Sakura?" a familar voice rang out from above them. Sakura broke the hug and looked to a nearby rooftop, and her eyes widened. Syaoran's amber eyes flared up with hatred, and Hikari looked up at the new arrival. Eriol Hiiragizawa, dressed in his ceremonial robes, flanked by Spinel Sun and Ruby Moon, stood proudly. Eriol's gaze turned to Syaoran. "My cute little decendant."

"Shut up," Syaoran snapped, glaring at the other boy. "What are you doing here?!" Although Sakura may have taken a liking to Eriol, Syaoran didn't trust the other boy. There was just something about him that wasn't trustworthy. The Li decendant of Clow Reed unsheathed his sword, and was ready to attack Eriol when Hikari put a hand on Syaoran's shoulder.

"Don't," was all she said to him. Ruby Moon immediately didn't like this new girl and went to move down, but Eriol stopped her. (There's something about this kid. There's Clow magic in him. He's definately not on the good side of things.) Syaoran gave her a curious look as to why she stopped him, but she looked up at Eriol.

"Who's she?" Ruby Moon demanded, pointing at Hikari.

"My name," Hikari began, glaring at the other woman, "is Hikari Reed." Eriol seemed interested in the last part. "And you. Who are you?"

"Eriol," the dark blue haired boy said, bowing, then smirking. "You are part of Clow Reed's family, aren't you? My beautiful decendant." (There's a hidden power in her. I wonder if she knows the true extent of her sleeping powers. Syaoran doesn't seem too happy to see me. What a shame.) Eriol smirked again, further irratating Syaoran.

"My beautiful decendant?" Hikari echoed, looking at Eriol like he had three heads. (He looks like Clow Reed! There's that same aura about him. But what does that mean...?) She didn't like the feeling she was getting. Eriol was planning to do something. And it wasn't to come join Sakura's side. "What are you planning to do, Eriol?"

"Perceptive," Eriol mused, as he jumped from his perch atop the rooftop, followed by Spinel Sun and Ruby Moon. Cerberos was across from Spinel Sun, Yue from Ruby Moon, and Hikari was facing Eriol, as she was standing in front of Syaoran. In the middle of things, Hikari really looked out of place. Everyone was wearing such eccentric robes, and there she was, wearing jeans, boots and a sleeveless black shirt.

"Eriol," Sakura began, as she stepped out from behind Yue. "Why don't you join our side? I mean, there's no need for us to fight." (I really don't want to fight him. I actually like him. But Syaoran doesn't. Why would that be? I don't want to believe Eriol's evil. I really don't.)

"Sakura," Eriol smiled. "You're so sweet. But I do not wish to join your side." Suddenly, as Hikari moved an inch away from Syaoran, Eriol spun his staff around, and sent a yellow beam of energy at the young decendant of Clow Reed. Syaoran was about to deflect the beam with his sword, when Hikari pushed him out of the way, and was sent flying back a bit. Hikari backed into a telephone pole, and slid down.

"Hikari!" Sakura exclaimed, as she ran over with Syaoran and Meiling. The older girl didn't reply, but the pendant around her neck began to glow. "Guys, do you see that? It's glowing!" She felt a little stupid for stating the obvious, but still.

The said girl's eyes opened, and she stood up, even though Sakura suggested she take it easy. A blue aura surrounded her as she closed her eyes. "Dark light mixed with twin partner of ancient times. Bring forth the protector of Xiao Lang. Release!" Eriol's usually calm face turned surprise as, before his eyes, the girl whom he had deemed his 'beautiful decendant' changed into a blue robed version of Yue. Her hair was dark blue, her eyes the same colour, and the staff she had in her hand was silver, matching the other colour of her robes.

"Hi...Hikari?" Sakura gasped, looking at the girl who was once Hikari.

"My name, is Kiseki," the woman replied, a small smile on her lips. "Protector of Xiao Lang. My master, Clow Reed, foretold my duty to protect him."

"Xiao Lang?" Sakura echoed. "Who's that?"

"Me," Syaoran said softly, and Sakura gasped. "That's my name in Hong Kong." He looked up from the floor [from which he had taken a sudden interest in] and looked at his apparent 'protector'. "What do you mean, Clow Reed foretold your duty to protect me?" (Why would I have a protector? I don't need one. Sakura is the only one important enough to have Guardians.)

Kiseki turned around to face the young boy, and smiled. "Clow Reed, long ago, knew that you would be in need of a Guardian. You were the strongest out of the Li family, he knew, even back then. He decided, he would make a Guardian for you. But He couldn't do the same way he did for Yue and Cerberos, as his magic was drained considerably, after making the cards and sealing them. So, Clow Reed decided to make a pendant, and that would be given to the strongest of his decendants from his immediate family. So, Xiao Lang, that is my story." She turned to Eriol. "And you, Eriol."

"Yes?" Eriol responded, gaining back his normal demenor.

"You should go," Kiseki advised.

"Go? Why would I want to do that?" Eriol didn't mean to sound as arrogant as it came out, but he decided against questioning himself.

"There is no reason for you to be here. Nothing is here for you. I know who you really are, Eriol Hiiragizawa, and you, Ruby Moon, Spinel Sun." There was a tone in her voice that showed that if the three did not leave, they would live to regret it. Eriol gritted his teeth, but nodded, and vanished suddenly, along with Spinel Sun and Ruby Moon.

"There they go," Meiling muttered, "always so dramatic. Geesh."

Syaoran didn't say anything, but looked at his Guardian. (Did Clow Reed really create Kiseki for me? Why? Why would I need a Guardian? Unless something's about to happen that threatens my life. . .)

Author's notes: Hmm, that looks a bit rushed to me. What do you think? @_@ I can't believe it's been 6 chapters and now the good stuff's happening. Kewl. Anyways, feedback is welcome in any form, but if you're here to flame, don't, please, okay? Those things are really hurtful. I can handle critism, but there's a line between that and a flame. Okay, I'm done lecturing now. I'm hoping I can get rid of this nasty writer's block and continue to write this story. ^_^ Peace out!
