Chapter 3: Finding out.

***************************

It was a few days after the incident that anyone came up with the nerve to speak about the monsters appearance. Sakura jittered nervously while they talked. "We have to ask her soon about what's going on. This is beginning to scare me." She simpered huddling closer to Syaoran. Eriol rolled his eyes. "She won't speak. I've only met her a few times but every time I did she would totally avoid saying anything important, this is the most she's said in a long time." He shook his head sadly.

They where all silent for a while until Nakaru piped up. "Hey! Didn't she say that all this business was between her and Touya. Well why don't we get him to find out." Eriol cheered up at the idea. "Good idea." He complimented the demented guardian before turning to Sakura. "Sakura would you please find out what Touya knows about this?" Sakura smiled at him and nodded although all this provoked the usual jealous response in Syaoran much to the amusement of those watching.

Little did they know Touya was already finding out what exactly was happening in the form of another attack...

***************************

"Hey Touya watch out!" Jade pulled out the speed card and activated it, before running to pull Touya out of the way of the new monster's attack. It was the likeness of a woman in a kimono holding a jewel in her hand. According to Jade that jewel was the source of the magical blasts that had been raining down on them for the last three minutes.

Touya steadied himself on his feet as Jade dismissed the speed element and pulled out another card. "Element lighting, come to my aid!" She called out the card in a similar way to how Syaoran called on the god of light. Element lightning's true form floated in the air and began to hurl bolts of the element on the kimono clad woman. It shrieked and it's attacks where stopped. Jade didn't waste any time in running forward amid lightning's barrage and swiftly ending their attackers life.

Touya watched all of it with a mix of horror and awe.

Once Jade's sword was buried up to the hilt in the woman's stomach the holder of the element cards brandished one more. "Element fire! Burn her to ashes and let her blow away." The card obeyed without a thought, unfazed by the fact that it was killing something that looked human.

Only when the last of the ashes had blown away did Jade move. The sword disappeared from her grasp and she pulled the chain of the pendant over her head. When she turned to Touya again she was smiling. "Sorry about that!" She chirruped brightly. Touya could sense that something was wrong. "What was that all about?" He asked. Jade's smile faltered a little under Touya's sudden glare.

"I was walking home from work when all of a sudden that thing appears out of no where and starts to attack me." Sakura's older brother said indignantly. "And then you speed out of no where and just murder it." Jade looked very hurt when he said that and Touya knew he was going to be in trouble. "Touya!" The blonde braided girl protested, "There's more to this whole situation than that, for starters that 'thing' wasn't human. Secondly it was sent to assassinate my descendants." She backed off a little and calmed herself down.

Touya stared at Jade. "You mean that thing is after Sakura and me." Touya was beginning to feel frustrated. "Sort of..." Jade hesitated, "Actually they are just after you. Sakura is in no danger, as long as she has the cards it will be assumed that she's a descendent of Clow Reed instead." Touya let out a cut off sigh of relief before he spoke again. "So who's after me?" Jade just shook her head. "I can't tell you here and now. Right after an attack it's not safe to hang around." Touya just nodded weakly and followed silently as she walked off.

************************

It was much later in the day when Touya finally got home. His mind replayed the events of the afternoon.

* Flashback *

"After I caught my final element card in china I faced the dragon's judgment just like Sakura faced Yue. The magic used in the battle attracted a very power hungry sorcerer by accident and he appeared on the battle field in an attempt to take the element cards before the judgment could be completed. He failed to get them but he managed to get look into my past and he saw my descendants as the key to getting me to hand over my magic."

"You see, you take after your mother very strongly. She was one of my direct descendants, although she had no knowledge of that. Her power passed on to you when she died and that left you as a prime target to the sorcerer, because he would take your power too. Ever since the judgment day I've been forced to continue my wondering around the globe with my guardians. Every now and then the sorcerer catches up. When he does he sends the monsters, just like the one that attacked you today. A while ago he found out that you lived here and I was forced to come to protect you."

* End Flashback *

Jade had made him promise not to tell the others unless it was totally necessary but as a parting gift Jade had also given him, a pendant of a dragon. "This is a special pendant that will summon a weapon to your aid. Anything you need will come to your grasp. Never let it out of your sight." It was obvious from this simple gesture that she was being totally serious. Touya looked up to the stars. 'I just hope Sakura doesn't get involved.'
