3.The Master
By Eriol
I was looking out the window of the plane gazing unseeingly at the clouds. Ruby, in her false form, was sitting next to me reading some flight magazine and Spinel was in the backpack in Ruby's lap, probably asleep.
We were finally on our way to Japan. I had phoned up Alden and told him when we would be reaching. I could, from my side of the line hear Sakura squeal, which made me smile. Alden, too was laughing. At least they still remembered me! That was a relief!
'Passengers please put on your seat belts and switch off your mobile phones, the plane will touch down in a few minutes' a passing by hostess said, whose words were repeated by the pilot in the speakers.
We were met by a small party at the airport.
Among them were a joyful Sakura, a smiling Alden, a Tomoyo with a camcorder, and a boy who I had not seen before.
Sakura gave Ruby and me a bear hug each. I could hear Ruby gasping for air, and I silently grinned.
'Shall we go' asked an impatient Tomoyo. She had changed a bit. Tall, beautiful, black haired, violet eyed, sweet voiced. but Sakura was the same. except taller, of course not taller than me, and I'd say much more beautiful than Tomoyo.
The Kinomoto residence was a large place with an enormous back garden, guarded on all four sides by a high wall. The rooms were extremely large, as I had seen before through the peek hole.
The small party led me into the living room which was large as well, with the four guardians standing in the near the four corners of the room.
Sakura was beaming.
'These are, Sunray and Moonshine, the guardians of the Shadow star cards' she said proudly. 'The shadow star cards?' repeated Ruby
The boy with the black hair cleared his throat.
'Oh! And this is Rahul. Rahul is a healer. Rahul this is Eriol.' Sakura said.
'Healer?' I heard Spinal repeat. I can almost understand the surprise, healers were said to be extinct. They are those people, who have Indian blood. The people with magic in India are normally called healers, because they have the power to heal any one of any injuries, fever, and all that! They are pretty useful during battle. Or so I heard. They were aided by the numerous amounts of plants and animals found in India each having their special healing power, which only healers have succeeded in finding out.
'Nice to meet you' I said calmly as Rahul joined his hands in greetings.
'Namaste' Rahul said.
'Namaste' I too joined my hands. This was the traditional way of greeting in India.
I looked at Rahul carefully. He was a tall, handsome, strong, black haired and chocolate brown-eyed.
I could see that he was studying me as well.
'Have you two met somewhere?' Tomoyo asked.
I shook my head watching him shake his head.
'Well.'said Tomoyo uncertainly, 'I just had this feeling.' She shrugged. I shrugged. Rahul shrugged. Sakura raised an eyebrow.
'He's so KAWAII!' That was well. you can guess- Ruby. Now she hopped over to the two new guardians. She patted Shine, who growled at her. Ray looked on amused.
'So.how is life?' Sakura asked, setting down a tray on the table.
'Boring' I replied, 'how is yours?'
'Pretty full' she replied, something I had expected to hear, 'you know. that and this.'
'So' said an over-exited Ruby 'what are these shadow cards?'-Something I wanted to ask her myself.
'I got it all on tape' said Tomoyo pointing at her camcorder. Something I did not doubt.
'Mistress was to destroy it after capturing it' said Ray, 'but the shadow fight card proved itself and mistress did not have the heart to destroy it, so she transformed it.'
'I'm gland I did not' said Sakura, 'they helped me a lot with those wizards. something the Star cards could not have done!'
'They are more powerful than the Clow cards.I mean the star cards?' I asked doubtfully.
'You can't use a sword where a needle is needed' Rahul said grinning.
'That's true' I said cheerfully. I looked around wondering why Kero was not speaking.
Kero was keeping an alert eye on Spinel. I smiled inwardly, remembering how he had stuffed Spinel up with sweets.
Yue was as still as a statue, arms crossed, eyes closed.
Alden came in bringing some glasses of juice.
'So' he said, 'I suppose you want to meet the old crowd?'
'Sure' I said.
'What made you come back?' Yue's voice came from his corner.
I did not turn to look at Yue; I knew that he was staring at my dark blue hair as if I had not combed it today.
'Just that!' I said snapping my fingers by my side so that Yue could see it.
'Master was boooooored!' Ruby said, adopting her singsong voice, 'He thought seeing your white hair would be slightly less boring!'
'Not exactly!' I said flattening my hair, which had been ruffled by Ruby, a habit she has got.
'Then what?' asked Sakura, lifting a cookie to her mouth.
'COOOOOKIEEEEEEEEEE!' Ruby yelled, saving me the trouble of answering Sakura. Sakura NEVER repeats a question twice, unless REALLY required, she hadn't changed a bit.
Shine scowled, a neat trick, also seeing the excuse.
'So, you have a big family here' I said smiling.
Sakura nodded 'The Shadow Star cards did need a couple of guardians to take over when Yue and Kero were tired.'
'Which is one time too many' Added Tomoyo smiling 'you should see them now Eriol, Ruby won't have a chance to defeat any of them.'
Ruby prouted, 'Of course not! I could take them all single handedly.' I seriously doubted this; they did have pretty strong auras.
'Err.Eriol' Sakura said looking uncomfortable, 'I suppose you came here to check up on that -that powerful thing-I mean the aura-I mean.' her voice trailed off.
I was surprised, though I did not show it.
'What aura? 'Spinel asked, blinking.
Sakura blinked, 'You mean you don't-'
'He's always like that!' Tomoyo said.
