DISCLAMER: I do not own Card Captor Sakura
Chapter 4 Dark Past 1: A New Master"Yes. Touya, I'm afraid,... is the prince of darkness." the old man said gravely shocking those listening in the room.
All those in the room turned their eyes towards the old man.
"What do you mean?" asked Sakura with her eyes showing terror.
"You're just joking, right?" she continued but the old man's face remained the same confirming her worst fears. She just did what she could do, she cried with Meiling and Tomoyo comforting her.
"The worst is yet to come, young card mistress." The old man calmly said turning to the crying girl.
"What do you mean, grandfather?" Syaoran asked.
"A seal was placed on Touya's power to protect the world but when the seal is broken, I'm afraid nothing could be done."
All faces in the room were white as sheet. They tried to comprehend what the old man said and ask the questions lingering in their minds.
"No one can stop me!!! They will all suffer and pay for what they did!!!"
"Soon, my son, you'll finally waken!!!" the king of darkness said as he shot an evil energy to Touya's floating body. He continued to do this until a much larger black aura consumed Touya.
"Yes! Yes! He is finally waken." The king of darkness joyously cried, as a man with spiky jet-black hair with dark princely clothes and a blue cape appeared as the evil dark aura gradually disappeared.
"Aaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!" yells and screams could be heard in the Kinomoto household.
Sakura turned to her father, "Otousan, what's wrong!?" She saw her father clutching his head along with Yukito, Kero, and Kaho.
"I fear the worst. The seal must finally be broken." The children turned towards the old man as he said this, horror clearly written on their faces.
"What do you mean?" Yelan asked with a quivering voice.
"It's true. It's finally broken." they all turned to the speaker who happened to be Sakura's father. He looked pale and his face showed the graveness of the situation.
"Otousan?! Are you alright? What do you mean?"
"All of you, take a seat and I'll explain."
"Mommy!" a three-year old boy cried as a beautiful woman with long wavy black hair turned around.
"Don't run, Touya!" cried a woman with long straight red hair.
"How was school, dear?" asked the black haired to the boy. "Did he give you any trouble, Kaho?" she turned to the woman.
"No, none at all. He was a perfect angel, Nadeshiko." Kaho replied smiling. "I better go, I have loads of assignments. Bye, Touya! See you tomorrow."
The boy waved, "Bye!"
"Are you going to watch your mommy model today, Touya?" Both Touya and Nadeshiko turned around to see a woman with short auburn hair standing behind them.
"Yes, auntie." the boy replied.
"Ok, let's first go to the snack table and get you some food while your mommy changes."
"Thanks, Sonomi." Nadeshiko stood up from her position as Sonomi scooped up the little boy.
"It's nothing, Nadeshiko. I'll take care of this little monster for you." Sonomi replied tickling Touya as the little boy giggled.
After the modeling was done, Sonomi drove Nadeshiko and Touya home.
"Bye, auntie!"
"Bye, Touya!"
"Thank you once again for driving us home."
"It was nothing, Nadeshiko. I'm sure grandfather wouldn't want anything to happen to you." Nadeshiko merely smiled at her and waved as Sonomi drove off.
"Ok. So what does my little angel want???" Nadeshiko scoped up her son.
"I want popcorn, please!!!"
"What my baby wants he gets!"
"Yeheeeyyy!"
They both went inside an apartment building and entered room 205 and went directly to the bedroom. Nadeshiko quickly changed Touya's shirt to a blue sando shirt with a super man drawing and told him to watch television in the den while Nadeshiko prepared his food.
Touya was silently watching television when he saw a light emerging from his father's library. Curiosity got the better of him so he went inside. He saw one of his father's books glowing. He got a stool and reached for the book. The book glowed brighter as two creatures got out of the book.
"Wow!!" Touya cried as he saw that the creatures had wings. One was a lion and the other a man with emotionless eyes.
Touya touched the wings and found them to be real. "Hey, no touching!!!" the lion snapped. Touya immediately withheld his hand, afraid that the lion might bite it off.
"So let me guess, you have magic? That is why you were able to hold this book?"
"I don't know."
"He appears to just be a little boy, Kero."
"Oh, I thought he was just a midget."
"So what's your name, boy?" the winged man asked.
"Touya. And yours?"
"I'm Yue and the loud-mouth here is Kero. We are the guardians of the book you opened." He took hold of the book.
"Who are you calling loud-mouth, you lazy good-for-nothing freeloader?"
The boy giggled, "You're funny."
Yue examined the book and found it to be empty. Panic struck the two guardians. " Oh, no! What are we going to do?" Kero wailed.
"He obviously has magic so why don't we make him a cardcaptor." Touya looked at them with innocent, huge eyes.
"Alright!" Kero gave Touya a blue key and told him to recite after him. (I Don't know the words. Let's just imagine that he recited what Sakura recited once.)
"Now you are the cardcaptor assigned to bring back the cards."
"Cool!!!"
"Touya!" Touya heard his mother calling.
"Who's that?" Kero asked.
"That's my mom. I have to go. Nice meeting you."
"Wait, you can take us along." The two covered themselves with their wings and changed to a lovable teady bear with small wings and a little boy a year older than Touya.
"Wow! I'll introduce you to mom."
"Mom, this is ...... 'what's your name again?'
'Call me Yuki.' Yue whispered back
"Mom, this is Yuki, our new neighbor."
"Hello, Mrs. Touya's mom."
"Hello. You can call me auntie Nadeshiko." She smiled at the child.
"Would you like to join Touya for some snacks?" Nadeshiko led them both to the den and placed the snacks and juices on the table. Nadeshiko watched as her son was happily munching on his snacks along with his new friend who obviously brought him that new toy. "Would you like to stay for dinner, Yuki?"
"Yes." The boy casually answered.
Clinging of something metallic could be heard from outside the door as the two guardians felt a powerful aura they remembered so well. "I'm home!" the door finally opened revealing a man with short brown hair and glasses. The two guardians confirmed their worst fears.
"Daddy!" Touya happily greeted his father.
"So what did you do today in school?" His father asked as he scooped up his son. "What do we have here, a new friend from school?"
"No, dear. He is Yuki. One of the new tenants from this floor I believed." Nadeshiko emerged from the kitchen and gave her husband a peck on the cheeks. "He is staying for dinner."
"Oh, hello." The man stooped down and extended his hand. The "boy" worriedly accepted it and answered nonchalantly, "Nice to meet you sir."
The man put Touya down and went to the kitchen to help his wife prepare dinner.
"I'm sure that's Master Clow Reed. What are we going to do?" the "bear" frantically whispered.
"Stay calm for one." The "boy" coolly replied. "Let me think. I'm sure he doesn't remember anything and he can't certainly sense us in these forms."
"What if he remembers and find out we lost the cards?"
"We'll just have to find them before that happens. For now, stay closely with Touya. I'll be nearby."
After peacefully eating their dinners, Yuki bade them farewell. Yue watched Touya helplessly as he knew the perils he will have to undertake. He saw the strong aura possessed by Touya's small body. This was the beginning of the quest of their new master.
