Chapter 5
A Day Without Light
"You've captured 2 card already! That means only 8 more left, Sakura!" said Kero with a wide smile.
It's 3.00 P.M. in England. Sakura, Tomoyo, and Kero were in Sakura's room. They were discussing about the cards Sakura captured for the last 2 days...
"Un! I hope we can quickly captured them and go home!" said Sakura.
"Speaking about Tomoeda." Tomoyo started with doubt.
"I just remember that we're not on holiday." she continued with dot-like eyes.
"Eh.?" Sakura sweat dropped.
"HOEE!! That means we'll get red marks on our first year in Junior High School!" she screamed.
"Or worse. we won't pass to the next level! Hoee!!" Sakura panicked.
"But. Eriol-san must have figured it before, right?" said Tomoyo.
"I doubt it, Eriol was in England that day. Do you think he knew that you're not on holiday ?" said Kero.
Awkward silence.
"We have to tell Eriol-kun!" Sakura stood up with a large sweat drop on the background.
************************************************************************
"Eh? You're not on holiday?" asked Eriol, rather surprised.
"Hoe! So you *don't* know!!" Sakura became more panicked than before.
"Ahaha. I'm just kidding, I've taken care of that thing. When you come back to Tomoeda, nobody will remember that you ever left from there." he said, smiling.
"Yokatta." she relieved.
"It's a good thing, ne, Sakura-chan?!" said Tomoyo.
"I'll make battle costumes for Sakura without worrying school!" she added with beaming eyes.
Sakura sweat dropped.
"You still like making clothes, ne, Tomoyo-san?" asked Eriol.
"Hai, it's such a fun, making battle costumes for Sakura!" explained Tomoyo with starry eyes.
"Ahahahaha." Sakura forced to laugh.
"Waii! Everybody's here, eh?!" cried Mei Lin all of the sudden.
"Mei Lin-chan!" said Sakura, surprised.
The cheerful Mei Lin was followed by the expressionless Shao Ran.
"Sh.Shao Ran-kun." Sakura said with a whisper-like voice.
'Is his wound still hurt?' She thought silently.
"Ah, Mei Lin-san, we're just discussing about a minor problem of Sakura and Tomoyo-san's school." said Eriol.
"Eh? What happened to your school?" asked Mei Lin curiously.
"Well, we're not on holiday, so we asked Eriol whether he knows about this." explained Sakura.
"I see, luckily me and Shao Ran were on holiday!" said Mei Lin, relieved.
"Something bothering you, my little cute descendant? You frowned all the time." Eriol asked, half teasing.
"Y. YOU! I told you to stop calling me like that!" Shao Ran shouted to the grinning Eriol.
"You also look cuter when you're angry, you know?" teased Eriol again.
"." Shao Ran gritted his teeth with anger.
"Well! This is such a nice day! I don't think even Clow Cards will interrupted!" Eriol suddenly changed his subject.
"Heh, have you forecasted this thing at first?" accused Shao Ran.
Eriol shook his head.
"I have lost my ability in forecasting incidents, remember?" said Eriol.
"Oh." he said shortly.
"Anyway, let's change the subject, shall we?" suggested Eriol.
PET!
Suddenly the sky went dark, and since Eriol's house doesn't have any electricity.
"KYAA!!" Mei Lin and Sakura screamed in fear.
"What the hell happened?! Suddenly everything went dark!" said Shao Ran, raged.
"We must turn on the light!" suggested Kero in dark.
"DIDN'T HE TELL YOU ALREADY?! Eriol said he didn't have any electricity!" shouted Mei Lin in panic.
"Now I remember."
"Eriol-kun! Could you make it bright again with your power?!" asked Sakura desperately.
"I'm afraid that's against the nature." he said calmly.
"WHAT YOU DID LAST TIME TO TOMOEDA WAS ALSO AGAINTS THE NATURE!!" yelled Shao Ran.
"But changing nature's condition requires a great deal of energy, I don't have that much energy since I shared it with your father, Sakura-san," he explained clearly.
"." nobody said anything for a minute.
"What must we do now?" suddenly Tomoyo's voice asked from somewhere.
"Actually, I do keep some flashlights in the cellar." said Eriol suddenly.
"Why don't you say that earlier?!" Shao Ran shouted impatiently.
"Let's go~! I'm afraid of dark!" wailed Sakura, terrified.
Few seconds after that, Sakura and the others went to the cellar. Sakura and Shao Ran led the way with their fire magic.
"Why won't Eriol help us?!" grumbled Shao Ran.
"Well." Sakura sweat dropped.
(FLASHBACK)
"WHAT?! YOU WANT STAY HERE?!" Shao Ran asked angrily.
"Yes." as usual, Eriol answered calmly.
"WHY?!" Shao Ran demanded furiously.
"I want to play cards with Ruby Moon and Spinel." Eriol said as he created a small glowing ball in his hand that eventually turned into a deck of playing cards.
Suppi and Nakuru blinked innocently when Shao Ran glared at them.
"THAT'S A VERY LAME EXCUSE!!" he continued shouting.
"Shao Ran-kun." Sakura said with a large sweat drop behind her head.
(END OF FLASHBACK)
'At last, we ended up like this. Hoe~! I hate this dark situation!' Sakura thought, shivering.
************************************************************************
In the meantime.
"Phew! That descendant of yours sure is scary!" protested Nakuru.
"You made me do such humiliating thing." added Suppi, remembering the time when he must pretend to blink innocently.
"Why don't you just go with them?! You're not really intending to play cards with us, right?!" guessed Nakuru suspiciously.
"I bet you have another mischievous plan." said Suppi.
"Hm." Eriol gave his innocent smile once more.
"An interesting thing is about to happen." he added.
************************************************************************
"Found it! It's the cellar!" Sakura exclaimed happily.
"At LAST! We've been searching for hours!" complained Mei Lin.
"Let's take the flashlights!" said Tomoyo, as cheerful as ever.
Few minutes later, Sakura and the others finally found the flashlights inside the damp cellar.
"Let's go back!" said Shao Ran, carrying the flashlights.
"I'm really agree, it's so spooky in here!" wailed Sakura again, looking at the cobwebs that clang at the wall.
"Hoe, Tomoyo-chan, you're so brave! Aren't you scared?" Sakura asked.
There's no answer.
"To. Tomoyo-Chan.?" said Sakura in a shivering voice.
The chill air answered the girl's question.
"Shao Ran-kun! Tomoyo-chan is gone!" shouted Sakura in panic.
"I can't find Mei Lin either!" answered Shao Ran.
"Damn! This is not good!" he cursed while trying to turn on the flashlights.
"And the flashlights aren't working!" he added in rage.
"Could. A Clow Card captured them?!" Sakura gasped in horror.
"Probably, but it's strange. I didn't sense any Clow Card." Shao Ran wondered.
"Either do I." admitted Sakura.
Sakura and Shao Ran spending their time by looking for Tomoyo and Mei Lin. Sakura used The Firey while Shao Ran used his fire magic. The darkness felt so intimidating.
"Hoe, Shao Ran-kun, it's so spooky in here, I'm scared~!" she wept in fear.
"It's okay, I don't think Hiiragizawa has ghosts inside this mansion," he soothed.
The chill air escape to the hall Shao Ran and Sakura went through. Sakura's trembled hands held the staff as steady as she could. She really hoped Tomoyo and Mei Lin would soon be found, she was very desperate to meet them again.
Suddenly, a white object appeared in the ceiling.
"Sh. Shao Ran-kun~" she whispered in fright.
The white object formed a one-eyed ghost with long pink tongue(Pretty much like what Naoko saw in the manga! n_n;).
"KYAA~!!" Sakura's scream echoed in the long hall.
"SHAO RAN-KUN!!" she continued screaming and grasped the person beside her.
"Sh. Shao Ran-kun?!" she had a bad feeling.
The boy Sakura called 'Shao Ran' turned out to be a faceless boy with green aura.
"Ku.ku.ku.ku.ku." the faceless boy laughed evilly.
"K.KYAA!!" Sakura ran without knowing her way, she just ran to avoid the ghosts.
Then, she bumped into someone.
"HOOEEEEEEEE!!" Sakura screamed, thought that whatever she hit should be a ghost too.
"Sakura, Sakura! Calm down! It's me!" Shao Ran said.
"Sh. Shao Ran-kun?! Hoeeeee!! I'm so glad I found you!" she wept gladly and hugged Shao Ran(Aw. ^_^).
"O. Oi." Shao Ran blushed wildly, but looked at Sakura with concern.
"It. It's all right." he hugged Sakura with care.
And suddenly, the sky went bright again, exposing them to the bright sunlight. It felt odd, as if somebody had turned on the lights purposely.
"Sakura!"
"Shao Ran!"
Both Mei Lin and Tomoyo shouted in joy and ran to them.
"Mei Lin-chan! Tomoyo-chan!" Sakura said happily.
Tomoyo and Mei Lin started to giggle when they saw the two card captors.
"Ho. Hoe? Is there anything funny?" she asked, confused.
"How dare you! While we were searching and worrying you." Mei Lin began, giggling.
"You two were taking the opportunity in the dark situation!" she finished.
Sakura and Shao ran realized that they were still hugging each other.
"Hoe! This is not like what you've thought!" she panicked again and released hr grasp.
"R. Right! We're not.not." Shao Ran lost his words in embarrassment.
"Aw. they're so cute, ne, Mei Lin-chan?" Tomoyo said with beaming face.
"If I just have a video cam here." she sighed.
Sakura and Shao Ran sweat dropped...
And so another day in England passed, leaving Eriol with his mysterious plans again. (Sounds like a fairytale, ne? -_-;)
