Chapter 3- New Home
"Here we are," Tomoyo announced as they all stepped out of their respected cars in front of a huge mansion. "This used to belong to the Li Clan but when their only heir left Japan, they abandoned it. The JSA just bought it to use for our purposes," Meiling explained to Saku and Mike as they picked up their bags. "Its so big," Mike said in awe as they walked up to the front porch. "It seems so familiar," Saku whispered to no one as they walked through the main doors. "Come with me Saku-chan! I'll take you up to your room now," Tomoyo said cheerfully dragging the honey haired girl away. Mike snickered at her and received a deadly look in return as she was dragged up the stairs. "Come on Mike, Syao-kun and I will take you to your room. It won't be far from Saku-chan's room if you suddenly need her." Eriol said winking at him. Syaoron looked up at Eriol furiously while Mike just looked him in the eye. "Saku-chan is like my sister, I could never think of doing anything other than beating the crap out of her every now and then," Mike said seriously. Eriol looked at him for a second before slapping him on the back. "You'll be great member on this team," he said cheerfully before grabbing one of his bags. "Lets go."
"Wow, what a beautiful house," Saku said looking around in wonder. Without even thinking she turned the correct corner and was in the sleeping wing of the mansion. "How did you do that?" Meiling said coming up next to her. "It took me three weeks until I could find my way around correctly," she said. "I...I don't know. It just felt right to turn here. As though I've been here before and I know where people sleep," she said rather confused. Tomoyo smiled at her before opening one of the doors. "This room is for you. I'm right next door to you, and Meiling is across the hall. Viola-" she said breaking off to look at the black haired girl who just came in silently, "is on the other side of you," Viola said finishing Tomoyo's sentence. "Gomen, if I startled you Tomoyo-chan," Viola said bowing to her. "Its okay Vi," "Why don't we leave you alone to unpack for a bit. We'll be down in the gym with the guys when you are ready. You just go back to the main level and take a left at the front door. You keep going to another set of stairs and you go down. Go down two floors and you are at the gym. It shouldn't be too hard to find especially with your sense of direction," Meiling said cheerfully before leaving. Viola and Tomoyo smiled at her before following their friend out. "Bye bye!" Saku called to them as they closed her door. She sighed softly as she leaned back on her bed.
"Here you are Mike, this is your room," Eriol said smiling at him as they walked into a nice white room, with a red theme to it. The curtains were a nice masculine red and so were the pillows and the bed. The furniture was a beautiful cherry oak, with a deep plush red carpeting. The walls were a creamy white to contrast, but had a red boarder near the ceiling. "Its perfect!" Mike exclaimed as he took in his surroundings. "I've never been in a room this nice before," he said remembering the run down room he had lived in for 8 years of his life with Hernandez. He was very tempted to tell these two boys why they were here and help them track down his evil boss. But thoughts of Esmeralda held him back. She was his daughter, and she would be killed, if she didn't escape and report his betrayal to her father. No, he had to complete this mission even though it meant killing these people who were so kind to him. "We'll leave you to get unpacked," Eriol said breaking his thoughts. "Come down to the gym when you are done. Its not hard to get to from here. You just go back to the main level and take a left at the front door. You keep going to another set of stairs and you go down. Go down two floors and you are at the gym. The girls will be down there too so hurry up so we can do some training. Kinomoto-san told us you were good with the weapons, but we need to test you for ourselves." Syaoron said emotionlessly from his spot near the door. "Gracias, Li-kun." Mike said. Syaoron shrugged his shoulders before leaving with Eriol trailing behind giving him a smile. (Jeez...Eriol is smiling alot in this fic. Oh well! Back to the story)
Saku looked up from her comfortable position on the bed to survey her room. The walls were a beautiful shade of pink, while the curtains were a simple white lace. The bed had a soft fluffy pink comforter and matching pillows to go with them. All of the furniture in the room was a rich mahogany wood, which matched the wood which made up her floor. Over the floor, a rich, and expensive oriental rug was laid out. Saku got up slowly and slowly unpacked her things while her thoughts trailed to the amber eyed Syaoron Li, and the beautiful Tomoyo Daidouji, who were the two children from her dreams, her two best friends.
"God why can't I stop thinking about her! I just met her, but her eyes are so deep and beautiful. Her presence is so intoxicating and she is like one of those drugs Hernandez always sells. So addictive..." Mike trailed off thinking of the brown eyes beauty named Viola Angelline, who was as sweet and innocent as an angel. Her smile, as sweet as sugar, and her spirit, as quiet as the summer rain. Her fluency in his first language was astonishing and made her seem even more intelligent that before. He sighed softly as he laid his last piece of clothing into the drawer. He knew he should contact Hernandez, even by using magic, but he really didn't want to. His daughter would contact him faithfully, even if he didn't.
Both Saku and Mike left their rooms at the same time and ran into each other at the end of the hall.(I mean literally ran into each other) "Sorry Es," Mike said helping his friend off the floor. "Mike! You know you can't call me that!!! What if they figured it out?" she said franticly looking at her friend. "I'm so sorry Saku, it just sorta slipped out," Mike said sheepishly. "Come on, lets go on down to the gym and meet up with everyone," Mike said changing the subject. Saku nodded and the two walked down the stairs trying to follow the directions as close as possible.
The two eventually made it down to the big gym where the others were practicing. Tomoyo looked over to the door with a smile when she saw the honey haired girl, and the black haired boy. "Saku-chan! You're just in time. We were about to pick partners to spar with," she called cheerfully. "Great..." Saku said walking. "Since Ms. Avalon is supposed to be a martial(sorry guys that I spelled it wrong in my last chapter!) arts expert, why don't you work with me?" Syaoron said walking over to her. Mike gave him a warning look, as if to say, hurt her and I will beat the crap out of you. "That will be fine Li-kun. Just give me a moment to warm up. I haven't practiced in a few days so I'm a tiny bit rusty," Saku said walking away to warm up on the mats. "Mike, why don't you work with Viola, she often times works with other weapons that most of us have never heard of," Eriol said nodding to the girl who had stayed by herself as she worked with a glaive. Her movements were sleek and graceful. Meiling then bounded into the room with another man in tow. "Guys he's finally here," she said exaggerating the word finally. "Good to see you Jay," Syaoron said nodding to the tall man standing next to Meiling. He had sandy blond hair and sea green eyes. "Hi, you must be the new people. I'm Jay Hartman, Meiling's boyfriend. Mei called me asking to come and help out the team," Jay explained to the two who were looking at him curiously. "Hi, I'm Saku!" Saku said cheerfully walking over from her stretching. "I'm Mike," he said quietly, standing next to Viola. "I'm going to work with Jay if y'all don't mind," Meiling announced before walking away with Jay. Tomoyo and Eriol walked off to another mat while Saku turned to face Syaoron. "Its been a while since I practiced, so you'll have to go a little easy on me to start off with," Saku said cheerfully. Syaoron looked at her for moment, getting lost in her bright emerald eyes before nodding.
The two settled down into defensive fighting positions for moment as they studied each other. She looks like she could pull something out of the ordinary. Even though she's small, Touya said that she was a martial arts expert. Syaoron thought studying her closely. I need to watch him, if my father wants him dead, and he's the leader of this team, then he must be good. But he doesn't know how good I am. Saku thought a smiling blooming on her face. Saku threw a slow punch just to see how he would react to it, and was shocked out his response. He ducked to the side with lightning fast grace, and caught her hand twisting it painfully behind her. He brought her right up close to him so he had the upper hand. "Not bad, Li-kun." Saku whispered looking up into his amber eyes. An overwhelming urge overtook her and she lifted her head up and pecked him on the lips. Realizing what she did however the two backed off from each other, both a bright red. "I'm so sorry Li-kun!" Saku cried looking at him carefully. Everyone had stopped fighting just in time to see the kiss between the two. "Avalon, I will speak to you outside, now!" Syaoron said deadly calm. It sent shivers down Saku's spine. "Hai...Li-kun." Syaoron walked out of the gym with Saku following close behind him.
"Oh My God! No one has stayed on their feet for a second if they even look at Li wrong!" Tomoyo exclaimed looking at him with wide eyes. "There is something special about her. Besides the fact that she looks like Sakura-chan." Meiling said softly. "Who exactly is Sakura?" Mike said coming up, followed by Viola. "Sakura-chan was a dear friend of ours. She and Syaoron were in love but couldn't tell each other because of their stubbornness. She had a chronic problem of being late and a beautiful spirit and she loved to say hoe," Eriol said thinking of Sakura. Everyone smiled at the fond memories of there friend but it was soon replaced with a frown of sadness. "We lost her when we were only 10. She had been in Columbia with her family, but they were ambushed by Hernandez, most likely, and her father was killed with her brother barely alive. They took her, and probably killed her..." Tomoyo continued, tears beginning to well up in her bright eyes.
Mike listened to there thoughts of Sakura quietly, each one sounding more and more like the Esmeralda he had met when she was ten. The world lurched around him and he was greeted with a comforting darkness.
~~~~~~~~~~flashback~~~~~~~~~~~
"Michael! Bring me the medicine kit now!!" A loud angry voice shouted at the 10 year old boy. "Si, Senor Hernandez!" he shouted running off. Two men came in and gently laid a young girl on the table. "This is the key to finding the Clow Cards?" a Kenji Hirii sound doubtfully at the girl he had just helped to kidnap. "She will be the card mistress one day. She will lead us to them, and then control them for us." Hernandez snapped at him. Kenji was silent as Mike came rushing back in with the kit and helped Hernandez heal the girl. He hated to say it but Mike was a talented child with great magical powers that would one day blossom out and be far greater than his own. The boys dark red aura shined brightly as he scrambled back and forth helping as best as he could. His thoughts moved instead to the girl laying on the table. He was already 20, but a hidden passion had been awaken the instant he'd seen the girl. Not sure why, he now lusted after her constantly. "Sakura..." Hernandez said looking at the girl on the table. "Our chance for Clow Cards rest in this girls hands...May heaven help us."
~~~~~~~end flashback~~~~~~~
"Sakura..." Mike said weakly, his eyelids fluttering around like a butterfly's wings. His eyes finally focused and he saw the looks on everyone's faces. All looked very concerned for him. Saku was crouched down next to him with a very worried expression on her face. "Mike are you okay?" she muttered softly trying to check his aura without revealing her own. Finally giving up she let loose her bright pink aura for a moment to check Mike's, which was free all of the time. It was okay, a little weak but still strong. She transferred a tiny bit of her power to him and he instantly felt better. Yet her use of magic did not go unnoticed to anyone in the room. "Saku Avalon, I believe you have alot of explaining to do..." Eriol said looking at her in the eyes. "You have magic and very powerful magic. You aren't leaving here until this is dealt with." Syaoron said coldly. The bright pink aura had filled his senses, and warmed his heart. He hated the thought of it belonging to this girl, who had already been making him feel strange things.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~5 minutes before Mike passed out~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Saku, your kiss..." Syaoron started as they stood outside of the gym. "I'm sorry Li-kun. I have no idea where it came from." she said blushing. The two were standing very close together and her head was bent back in a way that made her lips look so soft and kissable. He bent his head down as Saku rose on her tip toes to meet halfway in a kiss. It started out soft and gently but slowly grew more passionate. "Syao-kun...." Saku murmured deep in her throat. "Sakura-chan..." he responded. A loud cry broke the two apart. "what was that?" Syaoron wondered out loud as he tried to catch his breath. (veeeeeeeeeeery deep kiss ^_^ )
"MIKE!!!!!!!!" a loud cry sounded again, this time they could hear it clearly as Viola. "Mike!" Saku cried worriedly as she hurried back into the gym. She rushed in to see Mike unconscious on the floor with Viola cradling his head in her lap. "What happened!" Saku demanded furiously. "Calm down, he just passed out a few seconds ago," Eriol said calmly. "He should be fine in a few seconds." Tomoyo added. Saku nodded her head, hoping that what they said was true.
~*~*~*~*~*present time again~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"I'm in trouble aren't I?" Saku questioned as she was held in Syaoron's office with the others all crowding around her. "We will find out how much trouble you are in as soon as Touya arrives," Syaoron said sternly. "As for now please remain quiet." Saku lowered her head and her shoulders slumped as if in defeat. "Hai, Li-kun," was all she said. "Syaoron, we need to talk to you now, outside." Eriol said motioning to Syaoron. He nodded and followed the others out of the office. "Don't even think about trying to listen. I've placed aural shields all around this office(a little something I picked up from The Dark Jewel Trilogies by Anne Bishop, doesn't belong to me so don't sue!). "Hai, hai," she said unenthusiastically.
"Well? What did you want to talk to me about?" Syaoron said deadly calm. "And why is he here? He should be in there with her," he stressed the word her as he stared into Mike's dark brown eyes. Viola was standing close behind him with an hand on his arm.(I'll give y'all a chapter devoted to them if you want me to! Let me know in your reviews please!). "He's here because he has to tell us something," Viola snapped at him. Her powerful white aura surrounded her and grew stronger. Syaoron could see bits of red, blue, green, and many other colors flashing in her aura. It was interesting, and never before seen. "Calm down Viola," Mike said soothingly to her. It was clear the two had made a connection because Viola immediately calmed down and her aura returned to normal. Syaoron frowned at Mike but motioned for him to tell whatever it was he had to say. "Sir, whatever happens you must promise me that you won't hurt her. Please don't, she's innocent and knows not of what she does, or rather plans to do." Mike pleaded. "Whatever..." was all he got from Syaoron. Mike took a deep breath ready to explain everything when Touya came in. "Where is Avalon?" he said calmly. "In there sir," Viola said motioning to the door. Touya nodded and walked in leaving the rest outside. "So much for a welcoming new home..." Mike said softly before heading away from the office, with Viola.
