CHAPTER 8
Calm before the Storm
It was late at night before every one got home from the play. Sakura had quickly put the roses into a vase that was full of water. "Hmmm I wonder who gave me the roses." Sakura thought as she carried them up to her room. Once Sakura had gotten to her room she set the vase down on her desk next to her school books.
Sakura turned to face Kero's back while he was pressing his little tiny pause against the buttons' on the controller to his favorite video game. Sakura smiled and said Hi Kero. Just then the T.V. screen flashed GAME OVER. Kero got a huge sweat drop on the back of his head and started yelling and then turned and faced Sakura. With a huge smile on his face he flew up to her and gave his mistress a hug. Then Kero noticed red roses on the desk and asked "Sakura who gave you those?" "That's what I am trying to figure out I can't decide if it were Syaoran or Damien…….." Kero looked at Sakura well there is a way that we can try and find out but I don't think it would work. Sakura nodded and smiled as she got out the cards then Kero told her to put them in a certain order. She had to have them form in a triangle position.
(I think you guys get the idea from the diagram up there ne?)
By the time they were done laying them out Kero told her which ones to flip over and which one's to keep faced down. "Hmmm" Kero said when they were done. "This is very interesting in deed." "What's interesting?" Sakura asked. "Well it seems that he is a fighter which the sward card represents, then the flower card, represents caring, then there is the light card which represents warmth and protectiveness. Sakura thought hmmmm well Syaoran is a fighter but I don't know of the caring part but she blushed at the thought of that and shook her head.
Kero was watching his mistress carefully just then there was a nock on her door and Kero froze and acted like a stuffed animal and Sakura quickly gathered her cards. "Hai!" She shouted. "Sakura we are going to the zoo tomorrow so you might want to get some sleep tonight!" Her onni~Kun shouted through the door. "Hai ok onni~Kun!"
Sakura took a quick shower blow dried her hair and went to bed, think of who could have sent her those beautiful flowers. During Sakura's sleep she had a wonderful dream.
*~ DREAM ~*
Sakura was standing underneath a bunch of Cherry blossom trees sitting by a lake. She was staring out across the lake and then she noticed a boy. The boy from what she could see had messy brown hair, and wearing, green pant's with a tanned shirt with a green stripes down the middle of it, and that's all she could really make out considering that the boy stood on the other side of the lake. "Who could that be?" Sakura wondered. Then in her dream she heard a loud ringing sound.
*~ END OF DREAM ~*
Sakura slowly opened her eyes and was startled to see Kero there floating in front of her holding her alarm clock. ACK! Kerochan why did you that for!" Sakura shouted. "I guess you don't want too see Touya, Yukito, and, Tomoyo down stairs to go to the Zoo then?" Kero said as he floated to the floor to go back to his game.
Sakura was running wildly about her room getting dressed and then putting up her hair in her usual hair style, she shouted a bye to Kero after she slammed the door and ran down the stairs. As she rounded the kitchen she saw Tomoyo and every one waiting for her.
Sakura let out a sigh of relief as she noticed that they were still there waiting for her. Tomoyo noticed that her friend had just arrived in the kitchen and greeted her. "Konnichiwa Sakura~Chan are you finally ready to go?" Tomoyo asked with a laugh. Sakura just nodded. "Well then let's getting going we have a lot to see and do." Touya said as he and Yukito were heading out the door.
*~ ZOO ~*
It was a bright and sunny day with a few dark clouds that were floating around and what made things even better was that it was a Saturday, and, Sakura, Touya and Yukito, and Tomoyo were at the zoo.
"Wow Yukito look at that adorable penguin!" Sakura said. As Yukito walked over to see the penguin some thing else caught his eye. It of course was a food stand. "Hey Sakura…" Yukito said. "Yes?" Sakura said. "Would you like to get you some thing to eat while I get my self something to eat?" Sakura just said ok. So Yukito went to the vending cart and got them some thing to eat.
While he was doing that…Syaoran was also at the zoo. He saw Sakura by the penguin section…all of a sudden he felt some one tugging on his sleeve. "Come on Syaoran…lets go see the penguins!" said Meiling. Just as they arrived they saw Sakura and her brother Touya. "HEY Sakura!" Meiling shouted. That startled Sakura and she was standing on the railing and she all most fell in the penguin area…. But Syaoran with his amazing speed ran and caught her. "Thanks Syaoran." Said Sakura as a slight blush appeared on her face. Then once she was safely down on the ground... Meiling came up to hug her… "I am so sorry Sakura! Please forgive me!" "Umm Meiling I can't breath so would you mind letting me go" Meiling released Sakura and had a sweat drop in the side of her head. "I forgive you Meiling." Sakura said with a smile on her face. Just then Yukito came back with a lot of food……
Above in the sky the sun was no longer shining down on them, because it had been covered by huge black storm clouds. But that didn't seem to bother any one who was at the zoo, because the people continued on with what they were doing with out a care in the world.
"HI guys." Yukito said as he tried to wave his hand. With all that food in his hands he could hardly wave. He was carrying at least five boxes of chocolates, and three cotton candies and two sodas. I am glad that I bought all of this because Li and Meiling are here… Sakura just did a nervous laugh and whispered to Meiling. "That's Yukito he is very nice only he loves to eat…." "Here you go gang." So the rest of the day was spent at the zoo with Sakura, Syaoran, Yukito, Meiling, Tomoyo and Touya.
Later on a slight breeze began to pick up and it rustled the leaves in the tree branches. Then a flash of lighting lighted up the sky. Every one looked up in the sky and head towards shelter so that they wouldn't get wet and some even headed towards their cars to head home before it started to down poor.
While Tomoyo was recording Sakura looking at the all the animals Touya was with Yukito talking about school and walking ahead of every one. Meiling was with Tomoyo and Sakura because Syaoran was lagging behind looking at nothing in particular. But Meiling knew differently she knew that Syaoran was looking at a certain green eyed emerald girl from a far. She wouldn't say anything about it thought because she didn't feel like getting yelled at by him so she just caught up with the girls.
Syaoran felt a tingling sensation in his body and one thought came to mind, a clow card. Syaoran caught up with Sakura and whispered something into her ear Sakura's eye's widened and she stopped with Syaoran. Tomoyo noticed that something wasn't right when she saw Sakura's eyes widen and she stopped and went back a few paces. "Sakura are you ok?" Sakura only nodded and by the way her eyes were Tomoyo new that it was a clow card. "I'll go and get Touya and Yukito in a safe place and then I'll catch up with you later ok?" Sakura nodded and Tomoyo grabbed Meiling by the hand and told her to come with her and that they would catch up with Sakura and Syaoran later.
"Are you positive that it's a clow card?" Sakura asked… "Hai." Syaoran said. "Close you're eyes and consecrate." Syaoran said. Sakura did as she was told. Then not even a few seconds Sakura reopened them. "I do sense a CLOW CARD!" Sakura said or rather shouted. Some by standers looked at her and gave her some questioning looks. "Sheeesh not so loud Sakura do you want every one to know that we can do magic?" Asked Syaoran as he pulled her closer too him so that no one else could here what he was saying. "Sorry." Was all Sakura could manage to say. "I wonder what clow card it is." Sakura thought out loud. Well haven't you noticed the weather lately? Syaoran asked. "Yah why? We all ready caught the rain card." Said Sakura. "Well there is one more card that has to do with weather." Syaoran said. "Yah but which one is it?" Sakura said.
Then an idea hit her. "Could it be the Storm card?" Sakura asked. "I think that you may be right." Said Syaoran as it started to rain and the winds picked up. "How do we get it in its true form?" Sakura asked. "Well just as she asked that question the storm card transformed its self into a tornado." Suggested Syaoran, then all of a sudden Sakura was thrown back and she caught onto a tree so that she wouldn't fly straight into the vending cart. "SAKURA ARE YOU ALL RIGHT!?" Syaoran shouted.
The winds were so loud and so strong that the only thing Sakura could was hold onto the tree. Then out of no were came Tomoyo and Kero. "Sakura are you all right?" Tomoyo shouted. Sakura heard that and she gave every one the ok sign with her fingers then wrapped her other are back around the tree. "I have to think of some thing or were all goners." Syaoran thought. "I know what to do now!" Then out of now were he held a piece of paper that had Chinese symbols on it. Then he shouted "LIGHTNING!" It struck the storm card and weakened it because all the winds had died down. Sakura realized this and let go of the tree and ran to Syaoran's side. "Sakura you know what to do." Syaoran said. Sakura grabbed her key and started to chant the magical words.
Oh Key of Magic,
Power of Light, Surrender
Your Wand The Force Ignite!
Then the little key formed it's self into a pink wand. Sakura twirled it and then had it faced in front of her with her feet firmly on the ground with a determined look on her face. "STORM!" She shouted. Just then a cloud that looked like a tornado appeared in front of Syaoran and his eyes widened with shock. "Sakura" He thought.
The wind picked up and Sakura was blown off her feet. Syaoran stood behind her and caught her. Sakura thought"I thought the ground was supposed to be hard? "Then she opened her eyes and found herself in Syaoran's arms. Sakura I'll weaken the card then you try and capture it ok? "Hai" Sakura said. Then Syaoran made sure that she was safely on her feet before he went in and weekend the card.
By the time Syaoran had weekend it he was worn out he used thunder and lightning so many times and he had to run and doge wind attacks. "Sakura try and capture it now!" Syaoran shouted. Sakura got into a fighting stance and chanted the words. Then she slammed the wand down and then a card appeared underneath and the soul of the storm card went into its card form. The card then floated up to Syaoran. Syaoran caught it and Meiling jumped for joy. She ran up to him and hugged him so tightly that he all most couldn't breath.
