Card Captor Sakura.
Elemental Dragons
Chapter 5: Decisions, decisions.
*************************
Sakura was walking down the street with Yukito a few days later. "They are both acting strange. Jade used a element card to knock Touya and me out on the way home from school a few days ago, or at least that's what she says. I'm certain that I felt a new card just before I was knocked out. It was kind of like Jade's put somehow….. I don't know how to describe it. It was almost like a whole new deck of cards. Worse yet, there seams to be no masters or guardians, they're just plain wild! Since then I've been feeling them everywhere but before I can get there the card is gone."
The expression on Sakura's face was becoming more and more strained, this was serious! A deck of cards running rampant was bad enough, but with the abilities to avoid the all powerful guardians of the star cards….. that meant big trouble. "Yuki, do you think that we could capture these cards? I mean if we have them then they won't be able to do any damage….." Sakura trailed off as a very powerful magical force rippled through the air. Sakura began to trace it. As she ran she pulled out her star key and summoned the staff. They skidded round a corner just as new magic's began to appear and Sakura could sense the presence of a pair of very powerful sorcerers.
Finally reaching the card's location they found that someone had already beat them to it. The two sorcerers where leaping around a great fiery giant that had appeared in the middle of the street. The heat was to much for Sakura and even Yue so they where forced to watch as the scene unfolded before them. The first sorcerer held a sword while the other held a staff with blades at either end. Their faces where concealed by the smoke from the fire giant. The card hurled fire balls in every direction, trying and failing to hit it's target. Then a second entity emerged along with a finally visible gold aura.
The water beast charged at the fiery giant and wrestled with it while a striking blue aura raged, releasing a huge multi-coloured portal behind the giant. The card began to slide back ever so slowly. At first it could still hold it's ground but then the watery beast shoved it violently and it slid further until it tumbled into the portal. The portal then turned black in the center to show the giant inside but then the blue aura flared as the sorcerer with the bladed staff slammed one end down and the whole portal began to collapse and become ribbons of energy. Soon enough the failure shimmering card formed and they floated down to the sorcerer who thrust a hand into the air to catch them.
It took a while before it occurred to Sakura just what she was seeing, they had been card captors, the ones meant to capture this deck. But Sakura was still confused, Just who were they? She and Yue ran to find out, but by the time they got to the place where the battle had taken place, everything was gone, and the card captors along with it.
*****************************
Touya slumped down to the grass beneath a tree. After capturing the card he and Jade had ran for the shrine in order to hide from Sakura. His little sister had been watching the last battle. He almost scolded himself for being so careless. Jade flopped into a boneless pile nearby. "Ouch! I think that last fire ball got me." She complained rather comically. Touya smirked, "So my dear ancestor isn't so perfect after all." He teased. Jade gave him a disgruntled glare. "Don't call me that, it makes me sound old." She huffed.
The newest card captor laughed as he dismissed the bladed staff and reached into his pocket. His hand came out clutching a handful of rectangular cards. "So now I have the 'oblivion portal' ,the 'fire giant' and the 'weather' cards." He named the cards he'd collected as he spread them out in his lap. The weather card manipulated the forces of the weather at the wielder's will. They'd caught it after the oblivion card. It had been raining all day until Touya and Jade had trapped it within the oblivion in order to capture it. The oblivion was a handy thing to make sure the card didn't escape during a battle.
"So Touya I have to tell you….." Jade had come over, a serious look on her face. "I need you to consider something. Now that you are the captor of these cards the sorcerer that tried to take mine will double his efforts in order to beat us to them and try to destroy us at the same time. That means you have to move on when I go." Jade stopped speaking as Touya got to his feat. "What do you mean move on?" He asked, already knowing the answer, but fearing it none the less. "I mean when I leave Japan you have to come with me to catch the cards and to avoid the sorcerer's creatures." Jade could almost see the conflict in Touya's mind, his face betrayed his worries.
"So I have to leave my father, my sister and even Yuki?" He asked, stressing the last name. Jade nodded. "It'll be a while yet but you should have enough time to think this all over. You needn't say a big goodbye over all this. I was once told that partings only last as long as you let them and I'm sure we'll have to come back to Japan a fair bit anyway. After all, it has a lot of magic around." Touya seemed to except this reasoning for now. But Jade sensed that he still had uncertainties and knew, this was going to be one of the biggest challenges of her descendant's life.
***********************
Sorry it's a bit short! I meant to go for a while longer but it seemed like a good place to break off the chapter.
Touya is facing a hard time ahead as he now knows he'll have to leave his family in the future. Poor Touya!
Well look out for the next chapter…..
