MOONSTONE
by Eriol
'So' Sakura said, 'what can these cards do anyway? I mean, I capture cards only if they have to be done so.'
Eriol looked thoughtful.
Sakura, Eriol, Tomoyo and the guardians were sitting on the floor of Sakura's room.
'I mean' sakura started again, 'If they are harmless, or if the aliens prefer us not to interfere...'
'Oh that' Eriol said in an off-hand way, 'to tell you the truth I have but no idea of all this. We might be intruding. Worse if they are more powerful than we think, well. they might invade Earth if they get to know such a planet exist'
'That's interesting' Shine said frowning, 'I never thought that outer space might support life forms.'
'We did discover that a certain radioactive life form does exist.' Spinel said.
'Radioactive?' Tomoyo asked.
'That is, we are hydrocarbon form of life. Radioactive form of life can find 200 degrees Celsius temperature very pleasant.' Shine said in a matter of fact tone.
'Where do you get all this from anyway?' Ray asked.
'Books' Shine said.
'I still don't get it .Why should Sakura go? She can't survive 200 degrees.' Kero said looking at Eriol.
'Master wants to make Sakura more powerful.' Ruby said, 'I think all of you slipped the fact that the moonstones alone can make her at least twice as powerful as she is now, and the cards altogether can make her even more so.'
'But I don't want power' Sakura said frowning.
'But I want you to!' Eriol said looking at her intensely.
'Sakura will become more powerful?' Tomoyo said, looking at sakura with stars in her eyes.
'But why?' Yue asked.
'Why' Ruby repeated, 'because this will give Sakura more experience! No one would be able to even touch her!'
'Clow Reed would not have wanted this' Kero said.
'I was Clow, I and only I know how Clow feels about this.' Eriol said directing this look back at Sakura.
'This is not wise' Yue said frowning at Eriol.
'I think it is perfectly all right' Eriol said.
'That is because this was your idea.' Ray said.
'You feel it is a bad idea because it is not your idea!' Eriol said calmly.
'Well.' Kero said, 'I think you are loosing your touch, Eriol.'
'Thank you' Eriol said, 'So you agree?'
'I do not recommend it' Yue said.
A knock on Sakura's door made Ray get up.
Touya looked in and then glared at Eriol.
'You're back again'
'Yep it's me all right' Eriol said good-naturedly.
Touya grunted, 'Dinners ready.'
'Great' Sakura said, relived to find an escape root.
Eriol got up as the guardians walked out.
'I'll just close the window you and Eriol go ahead. 'Sakura said moving towards the window.
Sakura locked the latch of the window and then turned towards the door and was surprised to find Eriol still standing there.
'Eriol, I thought you had gone to the dining room.' Sakura said.
'I had to get a definite answer, Sakura' Eriol said looking straight at her in the eye.
'Maybe we can talk about this later' Sakura said uncomfortably.
Eriol shook his head.
'Well?' He prompted.
'I-I don't know Eriol! Yue said it was not wise!'
Eriol turned sadly away from her, 'I did not know you'll take Yue's judgment against mine.'
'Of course not!' Sakura said horrified, 'That's not what I meant Eriol!'
But Eriol was gone.
Sakura sat down on her bed feeling slightly scared and amazed.
Eriol should know what she had meant. Yue was her guardian it was right to take his words as truth, or was it?
She sighed.
'SAKURA!' Touya's voice came up the stairs.
'COMING!' she yelled back as she walked slowly down the stairs.
'Time you came' Kero said,' I'm hungry.'
'Where is Eriol?' Sakura asked looking around.
'He went to his house for the night' Ray said, 'Along with Ruby and Spinel. Phew! I'm lucky I have Shine as my sister not that Ruby!'
Sakura sighed softly.
'Don't worry Sakura Eriol is like that. He just wants to have a lot of excitement. He pretends a lot too' Tomoyo said.
'And if he did make you feel sad, don't worry; he was smiling to himself when he came down. Isn't that a coincidence' Shine said smiling knowingly.
Sakura looked up 'Really?'
Eriol pouted as he heard this through his magical 'peek hole'. And Spinel sniggered.
