Hello peoples, nothing to say here. It may take a while for my chapters to come up because the freakin' wireless connection in my room keeps blinking on and off.
Anyways.
You're In My World Now Chp. 5
--------------------------------------
"Is to destroy the card."
The words rang in the silent room. Meiling shifted uncomfortably on her feet, watching the gaping people in the room. The only sound was the fire crackling.
"Are you sure?" asked Syaoran sharply. "There~"
"No, she's right," Eriol said sadly, cutting off Syaoran. "When Clow created the cards, I don't think he ever foresaw a situation like this. Destroying the card is the only possible way."
"No!" No one could look at Sakura. "We can't destroy the card!" she cried out passionately.
Eriol looked at her questioningly.
"The card." Sakura choked, "Has a life. They all do. And destroying that life would be the same as murder to a regular person."
Eriol sighed. "We will have to keep researching, to find some other way. I know some cards can erase the affect of others, but I don't think anything can change the Erase."
"Wait a minute," Harry put in. "So, some cards can get rid of other cards, and those~?" he stopped short, a confused look on his face.
"It doesn't work that way," Eriol said. "What I mean is, for example, The Watery could reverse the effects of the Fiery. But they don't go as far as destroying one of their fellow cards."
Tomoyo spoke up. "Couldn't the Erase erase its own effect.?"
"No." Eriol sighed again. "Technically, the Erase is one of the most powerful cards. It is like a miniature version of the Void card. Even so, it can't stop what it has already done."
"So there's no way out?" Yue asked.
"Exactly." Eriol sighed yet again. "And I think the other cards may rebel against you, Sakura, if you destroy their fellow. Either way we're stuck."
"No!" Sakura declared loudly again.
"Wait." Syaoran was in deep thought. "Sakura, you have the Time, right?"
"Yeah," Sakura said. "But what does that have to do with this?" (Everyone together now: DENSE!!)
Tomoyo caught the drift. "So you want to go back in time, and confront Clow Reed," she said.
"Yup."
"I think that's the best plan we have right now," Eriol said. "But it will take a lot of magic to go back in time. Clow Reed lived hundreds of years ago." He pulled out his key. "Key with the power of darkness, show me your true power. By the covenant, I, Eriol, command you. Release!" The key transformed into the long sun-topped staff.
"How did~" Hermione looked stunned.
"I am Clow Reed's half-reincarnate," Eriol said calmly. "Now Sakura, get the Time."
Sakura nodded and found the time card.
"Time card!" She and Eriol said. "Bring us back a hundred years ago!"
The Time flew out of the card and nodded. He turned his hourglass over 5 times. And the surroundings began to blur. The scenery whirled around and faded before fixing itself again.
---------- Clow Reed's Mansion ----------------------
"This is the room that Clow was in when he died," Eriol said quietly, looking at the surroundings. They were in a large room with a single red armchair in front of a brick fireplace. Sunlight streamed though the large windows lining the room.
"Where is Clow?" Syaoran asked.
"Let's wait here," Eriol suggested. "If I remember my past life correctly, than this was Clow's favorite room. He came here every afternoon and evening to read."
As if in answer to Eriol's words, the group heard footsteps approaching the door.
"Keroberos, I am going to my study. Please do not disturb me."
"Yes, master."
The door opened and everyone's gaze shifted to Clow's face as he looked on them. Surprisingly, he did not look shocked to see them.
"On second thought, Keroberos, fetch Yue and bring him here." Clow called out. He walked across the room and settled into his chair. A few moments later Kero and Yue flew into the room.
"What in blazes~" Keroberos's eyes went impossibly huge at seeing himself sitting in the room.
"Master, what is this?" Yue asked.
"It appears I finally get to meet my reincarnate. the future master of the clow. and her friends." Clow scanned all of them. "What's going on?"
"We are here from the future because we have important matters at hand," Eriol said, taking lead. Clow nodded and motioned for him to go on.
"Anyway. I'm Sakura Kinomoto. We have a problem with the cards." Sakura continued.
Clow looked surprised. "What problems?" he asked.
"An evil sorcerer, named Voldemort, copied two of the Sakura cards and used them to destroy another dimension." Spinel Sun said.
"It was our world," Harry spoke up. "I'm Harry Potter, that's Hermione Granger, and that's Ron Wealsey. Anyway, Voldemort used the card copies to destroy our world."
"In copying the cards, it changed them," Ruby Moon said.
"Neither I nor Kero have any knowledge about reversing this effect," Yue added.
"So we used the time to come here and ask you," Sakura finished.
Clow looked worried. "You say he changed the cards?"
"Yup."
"Can I see the cards?" he asked. Sakura handed him the Erase and the Through. Clow studied them carefully.
"I may be able to purify the cards," Clow announced. "But I cannot guarantee that it will reverse the effect the have caused. Eriol?"
Eriol nodded and brought out the sun key and handed it to Clow. Clow brought out his key and the two merged together.
"Key with the power of darkness, show me your true power. By the covenant, I, Clow Reed, command you. Release!" Clow chanted. The key transformed; but this time it was different. The staff wasn't just a bright golden yellow; it had metallic gold strips running through it. "A result of our powers combined," Clow explained.
Clow levitated the Erase card in front of him. Holding the modified staff in front of himself, he chanted under his breath some spell no one could hear.
A bright light flashed from the cards, and the Erase leapt out of the card. "Sakura!" He shouted, "You will have to reseal the card!"
Sakura nodded and faced the Erase card. "Erase card!" she cried. "return to your power confined! Erase!" the Erase was sucked back into a card form, and the card fluttered into Sakura's hands. The card was light pink again and looked completely normal.
"Master!" Sakura looked around and saw the 6 guardians clustered around Clow (That means it was Ruby Moon, Spinel Sun, Keroberos, Kerberos, Yue, and Yue).
"Master! Are you alright?" Kero asked worriedly.
Clow smiled. "I'm fine," he said. "It is just a huge magical drain to release the card again."
"But you created them," Spinel Sun remarked.
"The cards have a different master now," Clow said, "The Erase did not want to obey me. And also, the card was tainted by some other force. And on top of that, releasing an already captured card against its will is very difficult."
"We understand." Sakura nodded to emphasize her point. "Can you release the Through tomorrow?"
"Yes," Clow answered. "You can stay here tonight. Keroberos, guide them to the guestrooms."
