Winter Trouble: Chapter 2

Last Chapter

"You won't be lucky next time Card Mistress! You, Little Wolf won't be always by your precious Cherry Blossom's side to protect her! And you Clow Reed, you won't be strong enough to beat me!" A voice boomed. "This is just the beginning! The battle is just starting! I'll be back and next time you won't be as lucky as today!" The voice continued, then silence. Silence. A very uncomfortable silence engulfed the three forms.

"I can't believe it! Another enemy and Sakura is its target!" Syaoron said. "Kuso!"

"All we could do now is protect her Syaoron. That's the only thing we could do now." Eriol said. Syaoron nodded in agreement. He picked up the fallen Card Mistress and carried her back towards the café.

Cafe
Syaoron carried the fallen Card Mistress towards the café with the reincarnation of Clow Reed on his tail. As soon as they entered the café, students and teachers came swarming over.

"Oh my goodness! What happened to Sakura, Syaoron?" Meiling asked worriedly glancing down at her dear friend's pale face.

"Long story! We'll tell you guys later, right now she needs rest." Syaoron answered.

"I didn't miss any battles, did I?" Tomoyo asked and whispered to her beloved Eriol.

"Sorry, Tomoyo, but you did." Eriol whispered with a grin.

"WHAT?! I MISS A BATTLE?! HOW COME SHE DIDN'T WEAR A COSTUME?! I CAN'T BELIEVE IT! YOU HAVE TO TELL ME EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENED!" Tomoyo shouted. Everybody looked at her strangely with sweat drops on their foreheads. "Eh? He, he, he, oh look at the time! Come on Eriol, Meiling, I want to show you something! Come on let's go to the cottage!" Tomoyo said nervously, dragging Meiling and Eriol with her with Sakura and Syaoron on their front.

"What just happened?" Takashi asked nobody in particular, eyes still glued at the door where the five-some disappeared to.

"You tell us." Chicharu said, with the same expression like Takashi.

"Yeah, you tell us." Rika said with the same expression as Chicharu and Takashi.

Cottage

"Okay, spill it! What happened?" Tomoyo asked as Syaoron laid the unconscious body of the fallen Card Mistress into one of the bunk beds. A single bed was placed into the room; the bed was Meiling's.

"Well, you see when we went to check out the forest using the Fly Card snowballs came flying out of nowhere. We thought it was just plain ordinary snowballs but we're wrong. When one of the snowballs hit a tree the tree burned to ashes. The snowballs are obviously magic. Sakura used the Shield Card, we want her to stop using it, but she won't listen, the two cards started to drain her energy fast." Syaoron explained while stroking the honey-brown hair of his Cherry Blossom.

"Suddenly, the snowballs stopped. We went deeper to the forest and saw snowmen. The snowmen started to attack us. Again Sakura used some of the cards. She used Fiery and Thunder. The two cards whipped out the snowmen. As soon as she called the four cards back to their true forms she fell unconscious, obviously because of lack of energy. Then we heard a voice. The voice said that that was just the beginning. That a battle was just starting." Eriol finished off for Syaoron.

"So basically, we have a new enemy?" Meiling asked.

"Yes, a new enemy." Tomoyo said.

"I thought this will be a peaceful vacation! I guess not!" Eriol whined.

"Yup! You got that right!" Syaoron agreed, still stroking Sakura's hair. "Hey wait a minute, Meiling; I never got the chance to ask you why you're here." Syaoron asked.

"Well, there's really nothing to do at Hong Kong, and well I haven't really told Sakura and Tomoyo this but I'm here to help. Aunt Yelan asked me to go back here at Japan and help you guys. She can know the future and she knows what will happen, so here I am to help!" Meiling explained.

"Thanks Meiling." Syaoron said with a warm smile.

"Hey! If she's helping, then so am I! I can videotape and make costumes! Just like old times! And now I can make costumes for ALL of you! That will be fun!" Tomoyo exclaimed.

A sudden movement caught their attention. Sakura was waking up. "Huh? Oh gosh my head hurts! What happened?" Sakura asked rubbing her head. She looked around to see the happy and relieved faces of her friends and lover.

"I was so worried about you Sakura! I told you not to use all four cards Sakura! And now look at you! You're all drained because you didn't follow my instructions! Just what do you think your overprotective brother and your stuffed animal guardian will tell me? Huh? Just what do you think-" Sakura silenced Syaoron with a kiss.

"Kawaii!" Tomoyo whispered taking out her video camera.

"I'm sorry, okay? I just have to use it. Forgive me?" Sakura asked with the 'I'm-a-lost-puppy-dog-so-you-better-forgive-me' look.

"Now how can I say 'no' to that? Of course I forgive you, just don't do it again. Okay? I can't stand it when I know you're hurt but I can't do anything!" Syaoron said with a warm smile.

"So, what has happened these past few years when I'm not here?" Meiling asked bringing up a conversation.

"Well not much really, Eriol came back from England with Suppi-chan and Nakuru-san and guess who's not happy about it? Nakuru was always at our house hanging all over Touya. You should see his face, it was hilarious!" Sakura said with a funny expression.

"Uhuh, I remember that! He practically locks himself on the boys' washroom when we went to the mall so Nakuru won't get to him!" Tomoyo shouted with a laugh.

"I remember that! And remember when he said that he's going to suicide if Nakuru keeps hugging him." Syaoron said with a small laugh.

"It's getting late, we better get some sleep." Suggested Meiling with a smile. "Good night!"

"Good night!" Echoed everybody else. Eriol turned off the lights and everybody went to sleep. Or so they think.

On one of the bunks Syaoron was wide awake. He couldn't help but think of what just happened, with the attacks and the voice and what happened last week ago in the blizzard. Why did the blizzard stopped as soon as Syaoron and Eriol reached Sakura and Tomoyo? Who is the owner of the voice? What does the voice want? Does the voice wants the cards? More importantly, why is it after Sakura? All those questions kept swimming around the gentle warrior's mind as he drifted off to a dreamless sleep.

Thanks for reading!!!
