Card Captor Sakura.

Elemental Dragons

Chapter 4: The new Card captor.

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

Touya was still thinking about his situation the next day at school. He had a detached feeling, like none if it was real. His hand kept wondering to play with the dragon pendant that now hung around his neck. 'A weapon' Jade had called it, Touya wondered if Jade also knew that he no longer had his magic. He'd given it to Yue in order to save Yukito from disappearing from the world along with the moon guardian.

Yukito…

Now that name brought new thoughts that had been floating in and out of his mind since he'd first met him. Over the years they developed into feelings… Touya shook his head rapidly to banish the thought, looking around wearily in case someone like Jade with an uncanny mind reading ability, happened to be passing.

Touya was always very careful to guard his thoughts around Eriol, Jade and his father. They all had something of Clow reed in their blood, Touya would never admit it aloud but he was afraid that they would find out about his own guilty little secrets. Heaven forbid what he'd do if they did.

"Touya!" a voice from behind shook Touya from his thoughts as Yukito ran up carrying the usual huge bag of food the guardians of the Sakura cards always seemed to need. Touya retched and stuffed the dragon pendant out of sight, down the front of his shirt. "Oh hi Yukito." He said when he recovered. "Want one?" Yukito asked stuffing a bag of pork rolls under Touya's nose. "Uh no thanks Yuki." He refused politely.

"So what have you been talking to Jade about? Lately you two have been hanging around each other a lot." Yukito commented. Touya began to smell a rat the moment he heard the question and began to look around, carefully studying his surroundings looking for his sister and her friends, as he replied casually, "Nothing, just catching up on old times." Yukito frowned behind Touya's back for a moment before asking something else. "Well has she told you anything about those new monsters that are popping up everywhere?" Now Touya was sure someone had put his Yuki up to this line of questioning.

"Nope." Touya answered, playing dumb for the sake of it. " Oh." Yuki seamed a little less cheerful for a moment before it was gone and the guardian began stuffing his face again. Touya sweat dropped slightly as the bell signalling afternoon classes sounded. Yukito binned the now empty bag and they entered the building again.

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

That afternoon Touya was walking home with Yuki like he usually did when he found himself in a bit of a jamb. A tingle of magic on one side of the street caused him to look just in time to see a multi-coloured portal appear in the wall. However he didn't have time to do anything else when he and Yuki were sucked through into the oblivion on the other side. Touya could only watch as Yukito hit something invisible and was knocked out mid way into the portal. Touya twisted to look back to where they'd entered the portal and saw it shutting, and a determined looking Jade attempting to stop it from the other side.

It suddenly dawned on Touya that this must have been what it was like for his sister while she captured the cards, the dangers she'd braved like this. He caught another glance of Jade as the portal shut sealing them off. She had her element's sword out and was chanting something unheard over the roar of nothing. His thought's lingered on the sword for a moment more before he realised that he'd stopped falling. He looked at what he thought was down and below his feet was a magic circle. Almost like the one his sister and Eriol used. The space in front of his chest glittered with a magic made light and from his shirt appeared the dragon pendant that Jade had given him.

Touya put his hand out to catch it but from it erupted a staff. At either end a shining curved blade shot out and the blue glow around Touya doubled. With out thinking Touya grabbed the new weapon and deftly whirled it so that one blade pointed down into the circle at his feet and he shouted,

"CARD OF THE ELEMENTS, REVEAL YOUR TRUE SELF TO ME AND BE SEALED UNDER YOUR NEW MASTER, TOUYA!"

The oblivion around him was sucked into a rectangle that had appeared at the tip of the blade and Touya found himself being catapulted out into the afternoon sunlight of the street once more. A thump announced the unconscious Yukito's ejection from the oblivion vortex. A card floated down and landed on the tip of Touya's nose. He went cross eyed to look at it.

"Well I have to say, your sealing staff is very unusual, but then again it is made from the weapon pendant I gave to you." Touya heard Jade speaking to him, her voice loud enough to bring him crashing back to reality. He sat up as quickly as he could, looked at the bladed weapon in his hand, and nearly dropped it. "Oh K'so!" he yelped, and backed away hurriedly in surprise while Jade began to snicker. "H…..how did I get that?" Touya asked. "You made it." Jade replied as it glowed and melted back into the pendant form of a yin yang symbol. "You also caught this as well." She held up the card that she'd managed to catch as Touya had shot upright. "The oblivion portal card. It feels somewhat like an element card except I have all the other ones so the only thing I can think of is that there is another deck floating around waiting for another card captor or world captor (1) to come and get it."

A groan from Yukito made them look over to see Yukito getting up, holding his head. Touya and Jade stuffed their magical items out of sight before the borrowed form of the moon guardian Yue could see Touya's new found…..job. "I thought I had got over passing out." Yukito muttered. Jade laughed as she helped him to his feet. "Got ya!" She said happily giving a peace sign. "You didn't even feel element sleep coming! The sleep lion RULES!" She said as a cover before she whirled off and ran down the street laughing like a mad thing.

Touya sweat dropped as he watched her leave. "…..and she's supposed to be a card captor?"

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

(1) A World captor is a card captor that has to travel the whole world in order to capture their cards.

So do you like this new twist? Touya is a card captor now, but what will he do when he and Jade need to leave Japan? Their mutual enemy is after their blood and magic and now they have more at steak then ever.

Don't forget to review!
