Chapter 6: Sakura and the Tiring Day
~º~º~º~º~º~º~º~º~º~º~º~º~º~º~º~º~º~º
Sakura looked around. She couldn't see anything. It was all dark.
"Where am I..." Sakura squinted to try to get a glimpse of anything, but everything remained black.
A soft breeze brushed by Sakura's ear sending chills through her body. A voice then whispered into her ear.
"Three cards....one heart"
"What?...."
"Three cards..." The voice faded away leaving Sakura alone in the pitch black darkness once again.
The morning sun shone into Sakura's room. Sakura winced and slowly opened her as she heard the annoying, nagging sound of her alarm clock. Sakura lifted her arm and felt around for the clock. She stopped the sound and sat up in bed. Still half asleep she stood up out of bed and stared into space. Sakura started to wabbled and then she fell forward. She landed flat on her face with a bid crash. The drawer to Sakura's desk opened. Kero popped out of it, rubbing his eyes.
"Wha..why so loud..it's too early." Kero looks at Sakura.
"Geh? Sakura! What are you doing!?"Kero flew over to Sakura's head and lifted it up. He looked at her face. Sakura's eyes were still closed. She mumbled sleepily, "..ow.."
~º~º~º~º~º~º~º~º~º~º~º~º~º~º~º~º~º~º
Sakura rolled down the sidewalk on her blades. Her eyes were still closed. Kero was flying behind her, pushing her on her blades to help her get to school. Sakura's head bobbled up and down. Still very tired, she opened her eyes halfway then closed them again.
"Thanks.....Kero-chan" Sakura starts to loose her balance.
"OY Sakura! AH! Don't fall back! Sakura wake up!" Kero struggled to keep Sakura up the whole way to school.
~º~º~º~º~º~º~º~º~º~º~º~º~º~º~º~º~º~º
At School.
Kero watched Askura as she changed her shoes for school.
"Do you think you'll be alright for the rest of the day? Sakura?" Sakura nodded as she put her shoes into her locker.
"Yeah-----" *plop* Sakura fell forward. Her head landed in her locker. Kero stared at her with a confused look and then shook his head.
~º~º~º~º~º~º~º~º~º~º~º~º~º~º~º~º~º~º Sakura walked clumsly into the classroom. She sat down at her desk. Tomoyo looked at her.
"Ohayou Sakura-chan." Sakura turned toward her. "Oyasumi [Goodnight]" Sakura's forehead came in contact with her desk and she then closed her eyes. Tomoyo looked at her.
"Sa..kura-chan?" Kero peeked his head out from Sakura's bag. He whispered to Tomoyo.
"Tomoyo! Sakura's been very sleepy! She could barely get to school today! Tomoyo lowered her voice.
"What's wrong with her?" Kero shrugged his shoulders.
"I guess she's still tired from your class trip from two days ago." Tomoyo leaned back.
"I see."
Syaoran walked in. He set his bag on his desk and said looking down, "Ohayou." He waited for a response. He heard Tomoyo respond.
"Ohayou Li-kun."
But not Sakura.
Syaoran looked up and saw Sakura with her head on her desk. He ran up to her desk.
"What's wrong!?" Tomoyo stood up and clasped her hands together.
"She's been feeling tired ever since the class trip." Syaoran shook Sakura's shoulder.
"Oy! Sakura! Sakura!" Kero jumped out of her bag.
"Leave her be Greenhorn! She needs her sleep!" Syaoran jumped back in surprise. He glared at him and stuffed him back in the bag.
"What are you doing here?" The bag started to jump up and down. Syaoran kicked it and it stopped. Mr. Terada walked up to Sakura's desk.
"Kinomoto-san? Is there something wrong?" Sakura opened her eyes and looked up.
"No..I'm ok..." Sakura's head fell on the desk again. Everyone looked at her. Sakura just kept repeating softly, "I'm ok.."
~º~º~º~º~º~º~º~º~º~º~º~º~º~º~º~º~º~º
During lunch Tomoyo, Syaoran, and Kero took Sakura to a spot that was distant from the rest of their class. Sakura sat down next to a tree lazily and drifted back to sleep. Tomoyo and Syaoran sat next to her quietly eating their lunch. Kero had taken hold of Sakura's lunch and scarfed half of it down leaving some for Sakura. Syaoran peered at Sakura occasionally. Tomoyo smiled as she watched this.
Gym..
"Watch Out!"
Dodge balls were zooming by at high speeds in the court yard. Students were running, ducking and tossing balls at everyone they could. Sakura was walking, lifelessly through the middle of the battle field and miraculously, had not been hit yet. Syaoran was all over the field, chucking balls with lightning speed. Syaoran was about to scoop up another ball when out of the corner of the eye he saw a ball hurtling toward him. He ducked as soon as the ball was inches away from his face. He then looked toward the direction the ball was heading. Sakura had just stumbled into the ball's path.
"Sakura!" Syaoran kicked off the ground sprinting toward her.
Reita was on the border line watch the scene. She raised her hand which started to glow a dark purple. The ball hurtling toward Sakura began to glow the same color and sped up, gaining distance between it and Syaoran. Syaoran ran past a ball on the ground and scooped it up. Tomoyo yelled out Sakura's name which caused Sakura to slowly turn around. Sakura took a step forward toward Tomoyo and wobbled as she felt the ball zoom by hear head. Syaoran froze with his hand in the air clutching the ball that he was about to throw to intercept it. His mouth hung open as he stared at Sakura clumsily walking around the field. He put his hand down and gave a great sigh of relief. Given this chance, a ball sped toward Syaoran and hit him square in the back of his head knocking him down to the ground. Reita shouted from far away it a cheerful voice. "Shaoran-kun!! I got you!"
Tomoyo rushed over to Sakura and she led her ver to the side lines. Mr. Terada came over to them.
"Kinomoto, I think you should rest at home." Sakura looked up with gloomy eyes.
"I'll call your brother to take you." Sakura looked down and nodded.
Syaoran and Tomoyo walked Sakura back to their classroom. Syaoran had an ice pack on his throbbing head and he wasn't too pleased about it. As they walked down the hall to get Sakura's shoes the bell for the end of gym class ended and the students poured through the doors. Mr. Terada came in behnd the group.
"Kinomoto, your brother will meet you at the fate in a few minutes." He looked at Syaoran and Tomoyo.
"You two hurry back." They nodded and led Sakura outside. Tomoyo looked at Sakura.
"Sakura-chan you should really take it easy when you get home." Sakura nodded slowly. They passed a cart full of the previous class's dodge balls. Syaoran glared at it still feeling the sting from the dodge ball in the back of his head. They walked toward the gate. Then they heard a crash behind them. Syaoran and Tomoyo stopped and turned around while Sakura kept walking toward the gate. The cart had fallen over spilling its contents all over the filed. A random ball began to glow a dark purple and levitated in the air a few feet off the ground. A couple of more balls mimicked these actions and soon the field was covered by a cloud of purple balls. Syaoran stepped back while Tomoyo went to warn Sakura.
Without warning, a single ball sped toward them. Syaoran summoned his sword and slashed the ball in half and then it fell to the ground. The group of balls stopped hover and froze in midair. Tomoyo, Sakura, and Syaoran watched the two halves as they began to move again. They flew back into the air and repaired its torn seams in less than a second and returned to it's position in the flock of balls good as new. Syaoran gritted his teeth and held his sword ready. The cloud of balls flew in to pound them into the ground.
"Shield." A barrier had formed around the three of them. The balls ricocheted off the shield, repeatedly trying to break it but there was no such luck. Syaoran stared and turned a round with worry. Sakura was now being supported by Tomoyo, no longer able to hold herself up. Her wand was in her hand and she was on the verge of being unconscious. Syaoran yelled back at her,
"You shouldn't be using magic! It will wipe out any remaining energy you have left!" Sakura with, great difficulty, raised her head so her eyes met with his. Syaoran stepped back with a hint of blus. She smiled and said,
"I'm ok." Her head fell. Tomoyo knelt down to set Sakura down on the ground. The shield began to fade. Syaoran held up his sword and aimed it a the balls which were still running into the shield senselessly.
"Sakura! Use the shield to protect Daidouji and yourself! Let me out!" Sakura shifted.
"...but.." Syaoran interrupted her yelling back. "Do it!"
Sakura reached for her wand and lifted it into the air. The shield vanished and a smaller barrier formed around Sakura and Tomoyo. Syaoran swung at the first ball as it broke through the fainted shield. Sakura and Tomoyo watched him as he his sword clashed with the cloud of dodge balls. But everytime he would cut one in half, it would just regenerate itself. The balls began to surround Syaoran and enclosed him, blocking him from Tomoyo and Sakura's view.
"Li-kun!" Tomoyo squinted at the pile of balls for any sight of him. She then felt Sakura trying to move.
"Sakura-chan!" Tomoyo looked up to see Sakura struggling to stand up.
"I've got to help." The shield began to fade. Some of the balls took advantage of this and sped toward them and enclosed Tomoyo snatching her away from Sakura. The balls formed a shape of a giant sphere. Sakura looked at it.
"No!" The balls on the other side of the field had done the same thing to Syaoran. There were now two giant balls bouncing around in a circle around Sakura. Tomoyo and Syaoran's muffled yells could be heard coming from the depths of the balls. Sakura stared at them in horror.
'I've got to help them!' Sakura took out a card and released it.
"Wood!" Vines shot from the card and wrapped around the two giant spheres, restraining them in mid-air. Sakura looked relieved but her relief was soon lost when both balls broke from Wood's grip and continued their playful bouncing around the field. Sakura looked in disbelief.
"No.its not strong enough..and even if I fuse with it. I won't have any energy to contribute to it's power." The balls kept up their pace, occasionally boucing into each other to cause discomfort to their victims. Sakura fell to her hands and knees feeling the remaining energy she had left drain out of her. She then felt something being shoved into her mouth. It tasted like..rice! She looked surprised and looked up to find Kero armed with chopsticks and the remaining half of Sakura's lunch.
"Kewo?" Sakura said through a mouthful of rice.
"Eat up Sakura! You need your energy!' Kero said as he stuffed some more rice in Sakura's already crammed mouth leaving her no room to breathe. Sakura swallowed as much as she could. Kero in the meantime was digging through Sakura's bag in search for the rest of her lunch. Sakura, feeling a little better than before, stood up effortlessly. She raised her wand and began to recite the fusion spell.
"Card of the stars
Reveal your power
And fuse to become one
Under the name of the Card mistress
I command you!
Wood!"
The broken vines of wood disappeared and in its place was a ball giving of a soft green glow. It sped toward Sakura and came in contact. A wall of light engulfed Sakura and she soon emerged from it emitting the same green glow. Her hair somewhat resembled vines and her fingers were long and stiff. Sakura's emerald green eyes were now the brightest they've ever been. Still looking down, she lifted her hand and snapped it into place so that her palm was facing directly at one of the balls. Sakura raised her head and whispered under her breathe,
"Go." Vines immediately shot out of Sakura's hands and almost instantly both of the spheres were tightly secured by miles of green vines. The balls began to vibrate out of aggravation. Sakura could feel the vines starting to give. Sakura gasped.
"No! No this has to work!" Some vines began to rip but still were restraining the spheres. Sakura's arms began to tire from holding the vines.
"I can't." Tears began to form in Sakura's eyes "..i'm not powerful enough."
Sakura gasped as she felt a strange presence. She looked around and saw she was standing in darkness.
"Where?" A voice then rang in her ear.
"Have faith..."
Sakura came to her senses and found herself back behind the struggling vines. Her eyes were wide, still trying to comprehend what just happened.
"Just have faith."
The voice echoed in her mind for a few seconds more. Sakura shot a look at the spheres.
"You will not have my friends because I do have faith! Faith in my cards! Faith in my friends! And faith in my power!" A wave of energy bursts from Sakura's hand adding power to the vines' strength. A couple of more vines shoot out of her palms wrapping themselves around the now motionless balls. Sakura took out her wand and a card. "Erase!" Erase emerged from it's card and floated a few feet above Sakura awaiting it's command. Sakura yelled at it not breaking eye contact with the dodge balls.
"Erase! Use your power to get rid of the all of the balls!" Without hesitation, Erase broke into a wind and surrounded the giant vine-covered spheres. In no time at all the two giant balls had disappeared. The vines were now suspending Tomoyo and Syaoran in the air. Sakura carefully set them down on the ground. The vines then retracted and the powere of the Wood returned to the card leaving Sakura in her normal state. Sakura began to run toward Tomoyo and Syaoran but stopped when she heard the voice again.
"All you had to have.was Faith."
Sakura stared into space and whispered,
"Faith."
Sakura's circle appeared under her. Sakura gasped as a light shone a few inches in front of Sakura's chest. Lights coming from out of nowhere were being sucked into it. The light blinded the area for a few moments, and then subsided. Sakura opened her eyes and saw a Sakura Card floating in front of her. She took it in her hands and flipped it over to read the back. Sakura's heart quickened it's pace as she stared at the name. Then the voice spoke once more in her head again.
"The Three cards of akin;
Of all which must unseal;
To Two holders of the light;
Will truths untold, reveal;"
