Chapter Ten: Merging Sun
Syaoran and Sakura both walked home in silence, finally reaching home and walking into a full out war. A smirk touched Syaoran's gloomly expression and a giggle escaped from Sakura's lips as they witnessed the scene before them. Touya was yelling at Kero, who was busy annoying Touya by floating around him and screaming in his ear, as for Fujitaka, he was busy reading the newspaper. Earplugs were barely noticably which were tucked neatly into his ears.
That one moment seemed to banish all their fears away, but it was only for that brief time period, then the uneasyness and fear had already returned inside Syaoran and Sakura.
"How was your day, Sakura?" Eriol's voice seemed to soothe her over the phone. It was late at night, a time that they had both found that neither were too caught up with their plans.
"A weird aura showed up today." she stated bluntly, "Did you happen to sense anything?"
"No." he answered back confusingly.
Sakura sighed, 'Am I just imagining things?' she asked herself, "Well I'm really tired, I think I'm going to get some sleep." she told him, cutting the phone conversation short.
"Alright. Night." And she heard the phone click without another word.
Kero's tiny yellow head poked out of the drawer, where he had set up his bedroom, a size big enough for his small stature. "I didn't sense no aura either, Sakura." he said.
"It's probably nothing then." she brushed him off, she wanted to be sure it was the aura she felt, before she did anything drastic. She knew that she was heading out with Syaoran again, to resume their search for the mysterious aura.
As she tucked the blanket over her body, she couldn't resist from letting her mind linger back to the water funnel that was attacking her, for some reason, she felt that the attack was from someone she knew...
~*~
Sakura and Syaoran were both walking side by side again, the sky was a great contrast from the day before. Instead of the bright spring day that they had experienced, it was dark, gloomy and the sun was covered by miserable grey clouds. This time they were both prepared for whatever was in store for them in the day ahead. Syaoran was equipped with his lasen board, instead of its usual board, its power was stored into a small necklace that could be easily be hidden from people passing by. When the strange aura was near, Syaoran would be able to feel the heat against his skin.
"What do you think its after?" Sakura asked curiously, thinking about the question in her own mind. Maybe Syaoran would have something new that would help her find the answer.
"I think its after me." Syaoran replied bluntly. His mood was quite similar to the one that the sky was giving off. The dream had again haunted his mind the night before, this time it was more hard to shake off. He still couldn't interpret what the dream was telling him, the blood, the sword, it was driving him nuts.
"It can't be after you because it attacked me." Sakura offered.
"Still." Syaoran had replied plainly. He averted his attention back to his necklace, searching for any small hints of heat that emitted from it. Nothing.
~*~
"Do you think Sakura will like everything?" Eriol asked Tomoyo for the sixth time that day. They were strolling through the store isles looking for ingredients for tonight's dinner. Tomoyo had offered to buy the groceries for Ruby, and Eriol had offered to accompany her.
"She'll be extremely happy, Eriol." Tomoyo assured him again, "Don't worry about it, okay?"
Eriol hesistated but then spoke, "Lately she seems to be distancing from me."
"You think to much." Tomoyo turned away from him and reached for the pasta, "Any girl would be happy with you."
Eriol tried to look directly into her eyes, he felt something rush through him when she had said that. He shook his head quickly and turned away.
They were passing by the frozen food section, Eriol was busy minding to his own thoughts, until it was broken by a short yelp. In a quick flash through time, all he saw was Tomoyo falling over. Eriol reached out and caught her. Wrapping her tightly around his arms, he asked, "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine." Tomoyo smiled, a slight blush crepting up her neck. Apparently, it was the usual mischief that some kids were into in the store. They were racing around with the shopping carts, and Tomoyo was blocking the path of one of the racers. The racer wasn't going to stop, hoping that she would eventally move, and raced on, in full speed. Resulting in a collsion, the cart flying and flipping over in the opposite direction and Tomoyo falling back, straight into Eriol's arms.
The pair stood there for a moment, Eriol's tight hold shot chills through Tomoyo's body, and both looked into each others eyes, entering their souls for a few seconds.
"Kiss her already!" one of the kids racing shouted. They all giggled and raced away.
Eriol and Tomoyo both blushed immensely and both tore away from each other.
"Sorry." Eriol mumbled.
"That's okay. That's for saving me from that fall." Tomoyo smiled.
"Well, lets hurry and finish the shopping, then we can hurry back. I'm hungry." Eriol grinned at her, causing her heart to melt into a pool of gooey chocolate.
~*~
Sakura and Syaoran were both sitting in a small table, located in a quaint restaurant. They decided to stop there for lunch since they could hear both of their stomachs growling.
"You feel anything?" Sakura asked, her emerald eyes peered at Syaoran.
"If I did, you would be the first to know." Syaoran told her restlessly. The stress was taking a toll on him, everything around him seemed to confine him a small space, giving him no room to breathe.
After stuffing their stomachs full with food, Sakura had insisted that she paid.
"Fine," Syaoran sighed, giving in, "I'll wait for you outside."
Sakura nodded and headed towards the cashier. She paid the required amount quickly and headed towards the exit immediately. She was determined to find this aura, and help Syaoran destroy it, which is why she didn't want to leave his side, just in case.
"Syaoran?" Sakura called, "Where are you?" She had stepped out into the cool, humid air, and had seen no one in sight. She turned around and peered into the restaurant and noticed that everyone was busy conversing with one another, that no one seemed to care that the once busy street was completely deserted.
Suddenly, millions of fireballs seemed to fire at the still standing Sakura. She quickly lept to the side and covered herself underneath a balcony. She practically ripped her necklace off her neck and called,
'Key with the power of darkness,
Show your true form,
By the power of my star,
I, Sakura, command you to release!'
Just like many times before, a bright pink glow emitted from Sakura's palms, and her staff grew longer, showing its true form. Sakura watched the fireballs as they continued to plummet to the ground, leaving little spots of black on the pavement. There were so many fireballs, all going at a speed that made it impossible to take a close look at them, but Sakura had managed to conclude that they were all the size of a bullet.
"A fire bullet." Sakura whispered. She peered up into the sky, her eyes squinting as she noticed a glare from the grey sky. It was a huge orange orb, which was sending out the small fire bullets. Before Sakura could hatch a plan to destroy the orb, the tiny fire bullets had switched their normal direction and headed towards her instead. "Shield!" Sakura immediately called. She kept the shield up and ran to the other side of the road, she flinched as some of the bullets were able to penetrate through her shield and pierce through her.
"Mirror!" she called, hoping that it would be able to reflect the bullets back at the source. Sakura shook her head in frustration as the mirror that the card had created was shattered into a million pieces. She knew that this was no ordinary fire orb. 'It's just like that water funnel, impossible to beat.' Sakura thought, 'Where is Syaoran anyway?'
"Rain!" Sakura commanded, drops of rain came pouring from the sky, drenching the orb and bullets with water. The orb seemed to be uneffected, where the bullets were distingushed for a short moment and the flames were relit on each and every one of them and continued after Sakura.
Her shield was slowly dissolving, and she knew, if she didn't do something quick, it would be all over. She swiftly took out the Time card and called on it, everything froze, the people inside the restaurant were stuck in their current position and each and every bullet was frozen in place. Sakura noticed that the bullets were quickly regaining their control, so she took out both Watery and Windy, "Watery, Windy!" she called. Both spirits shot out of their cards and blasted towards the orb, in a flash they had both disappeared into the orb.
Sakura stood still in her fighting stance, her shield barely protecting her, her staff held close to her, and the bullets rattling from their spots. Suddenly, the orb began to ice itself up, she could see a white spirit emerging and wrapping itself around the orb, then the froze orb cracked and blew up. Bits of ice flew everywhere, as the water inside the orb was released, causing a temporary downpour. The remain bullets still in the air were blown away by Windy, just as Time had returned back to its normal pace.
Sakura's chested heaved heavily, it was an intense battle, but that wasn't what worried her. She wanted to know where Syaoran was. She walked further down the street, noticing the black spots had completely disappeared, and cars began to drive past her. It seemed like just for that short period of time, everything was cleared just for that battle.
Sakura walked quickly, trying to dodge the crowds of people that suddenly were passing by her. Her mind was too busy floating somewhere else, until she had hit a large object. She fell backwards and her butt skidded on the ground.
"Are you okay, Sakura?" an arm reached out for her.
She looked up and saw Yukito, he was smiling and his eyes seemed to reveal hints of warmth.
"I'm fine." she stuttered, walking alongside Yukito.
"You should've been watching where you were going." Yukito smiled, "A lot on your mind?"
Sakura stared at him in disbelief, "You mean you didn't feel anything? Even Yue didn't feel anything?"
"What do you mean?" Yukito gave her a confused expression.
"I was just attacked, just a few seconds before you bumped into to me." Sakura told him, her mind racing and her heart thumping hard.
"No, I didn't, I'm sorry Sakura. If I did, I would've come to help you right away."
"It's okay." Sakura told him worriedly, "I can't blame you if you couldn't sense anything, Eriol and Kero didn't either."
Yukito raised an eyebrow. "Whatever it is, it must me strong, since its able to block its aura."
Sakura nodded, "What do you think it is?"
"I don't know, since I don't know anything until today. I'll look into it though." Yukito offered.
"Thanks." Sakura smiled, she suddenly realized that she had followed Yukito back on the same direction to the restaurant. Just then Syaoran had stepped out of the restaurant and waved at Yukito and Sakura.
"Nice to see you, Syaoran." Yukito smiled warmly at him.
"Where have you been?" Sakura immediately jumped at him.
"Sorry, I had to use the washroom." Syaoran gave a apologetic smile. "Hope I didn't make you wait too long."
"I thought you went out here already?" Sakura quesitoned.
"Yea, I went back in, I guess you didn't see me." Syaoran frowned.
"It's okay, but I got attacked again." she told him.
Syaoran's eyes widened, "Why didn't I feel the aura?"
Sakura shrugged.
Yukito, Sakura and Syaoran went into deep conversation in front of the restaurant. Finally realizing that it was almost dinner, the three split up to go their seperate ways.
Sakura looked over cautiously at Syaoran. After the attack she had been feeling uneasy, nothing seemed to calm her. 'It is after me.' Sakura said in her mind, 'But why?'
