" What should I do?" Sakura thought as she tried to keep herself conscious. Though the water blurred her vision, she could still see her two guardians suffering along with her. This made her even more anxious to stop all these nonsense. She could not bear to see her friends in pain.

" Please, anyone or anything, helps me to break this water tornado, please!!" Sakura prayed in despair.

Maybe it's her power that was awakening, or maybe, it's the desperation that pushed her concentration to the highest., at this very moment when she prayed, a mahoujin appeared. Instead of the usual mahoujin, which consists of the element of sun and moon, a different mahoujin replaced it. It was similar however, there was an extra element in the mahoujin, the element of star.

" Firey!!!" Sakura called out without realizing the change while holding her staff pointing to the card.

The water surrounding she and her two guardians bubbled and evaporate off as steam. Three of them landed gracefully. While the two guardians catch their breath and tidied their appearances, Sakura studied the 'Firey' card closely.

[ It has changed. It no longer looked the same.] Sakura thought. [ Do Kero chan have an explanation for this?]

" Kero chan, Yue san, this card is ..."

Before she could say anymore, her vision blurred for the second time of the day and she felt drowsy. Before she knocked her head hard against the concrete ground, a pair of slender but strong hands held her up.

" What's going on? Is she hurt somewhere?" Ceroberos asked nervously, fearing for the safety of his mistress.

Yue took a moment to think before he replied in a monotone: " She's asleep."

That reply made Cerberus sweatdropped and fell in an anime style.

"Let's get her home." Yue murmured.

Before Cerberus could react, he turned and walked in the direction of Sakura's house, when he sensed a familiar aura.

" Clow...?"

'What's up?" Cerberus asked.

" Nothing." [ could it be.? ] Yue was puzzled.



===============================================================



Meanwhile up on the tree....

"Hey eriol, she fainted you know.' Ruby said worriedly.

" No, she just fell into a deep sleep. This is due to the over exertion of her magic." Eriol explained.

"Ya, thanks to you, she FINALLY knew the way to use the new type of magic." Spinel said ironically.

" It's really not my fault that the two tornados came. It's just a mild accident, so stop trying to put the blame on me" Eriol said impatiently.

" To think you are the reincarnation of Clow Reed, the mightiest wizard in the world. You could even make such a blunt mistake." Spinel replied coldly.

Something in Eriol's mind snapped.

" I TOLD YOU, I NEVER WANTED TO BE THE MIGHTIEST WIZARD ON THE EARTH!!!! IF THERE WAS A CHOICE, I WOULD RATHER BE AN ORDINARY GUY, GET A CAREER, A WIFE AND DOZENS OF CHILDREN!! DID YOU HEAR ME???!!!!" Eriol roared.

His guardians were stunned by his outburst. This is the first time that they have ever seen him so mad. The most he would do when they are being rude is to punish them to clean the toilet and kitchen without using magic. Somehow or rather, this outburst seems far worst than what they had encountered before with him, and this made them very worried about Eriol.

" Eriol, are you all right? " Spinel asked gingerly.

Eriol glared at them angrily for a moment, before he got down on his knees, hugged himself and started to cry.

This made his two guardians even more worried about him.

" Oh dear, Master please don't cry, forget what that stupid Suppi had said, Okay?" Ruby said gently as she caressed Eriol's face and made him looked into her eyes to show that she cared for him.

" Yes, forgive me master. I've been too harsh with my words. I should have knew that for everything you've done, you have a perfect reason to do it." Spinel said apologetically.

Ignoring their words of concerns, Eriol mumbled, " I've never wanted to be the mightiest wizard on the world. I just wish to have people who treated me with sincerity. When I was Clow, people crowded around me to get me to perform magic for show, even worse, to create gold out of stones!!! All those people out there are determined to make use of me till I dropped dead!! Even the ladies around me at that time, throwing glances and charming smiles at me, are trying to get fame for themselves as being the mightiest wizard's spouse!!! What can I do? What can I do? What can I do? I can trust no one but myself!! No one but myself!!" Eriol said miserably.

At this time, Eriol seems very vulnerable and looked like he thought that he was Clow Reed and was about to collapse from the burden that Clow had carried. Seeing that Eriol is in a critical condition, Ruby Moon decided to use her power and put him to sleep. Luckily for her, as Eriol's mind was in a state of confusion, his magic power had dropped to a very low level, far much lower that his own two guardians.

" What should we do about him?" Ruby asked.

" Bring him back to our home and let him have a good night sleep. We have to leave immediately as I'm sure that the strong power emitted from Eriol's outburst had alerted Sakura's guardians." Spinel said seriously.

With this, they made way for home with Eriol on Spinel's back, while Sakura was carried home in Yue's arms at the same time.

Both the Clow cards' Mistress and Master were deep in their slumber, meeting each other with their dreams connected.
