The Second Generation 9
It's me, Akiko. Last week had some interesting revelations. Shinji and Makoto had been successful in getting the Sword Card for Meeko, who was trapped inside Shield, but not without a fight. Makoto recklessly grabbed the broach, which was the hidden Sword Card, and had been taken over by it. Shinji finally fought him, sealed the card, and got it back to Meeko to destroy Shield. I on the other hand, used my newly discovered powers to fight the same mysterious women who had tried to take the cards before. Now I had a "talk" with my parents, I know who I am; the question is though...what am I going to do about it?
Akiko walked silently home, besides her Makoto, Shinji, and Meeko looked over at her in worry. Akiko knew of her friends concern for her, but she couldn't force a smile to satisfy them. Too many questions filled her mind. She still remembered the conversation she had sat down to with her mother and father…
"Daddy? What happened? How could I so such a thing?" A shaky voiced Akiko asked a calm faced Eriol.
"Akiko, you know Meeko and Makoto and about their powers too, right?" Akiko nodded. "Well, their parents also have powers. That's how they inherited their power…from their parents."
Akiko frowned. "So you and mommy have powers too?"
"Well…" Tomoyo chimed in. "I don't…but your father…" She looked at him, trying to find the right words.
"Sweetie, you know the cards Meeko and Makoto capture?" Eriol started. "Well, the person who created those cards was a powerful magician named Clow Reed."
Akiko frowned, but stayed quiet.
Eriol paused. Tomoyo placed a gentle hand on his and smiled. "What your father is trying to say is that he has some of Clow Reed in him." Well, that was the nice way to say it. To say that Eriol was the reincarnated Clow Reed might be too much to take in.
Well, what Tomoyo and Eriol didn't know was that it had already been too much for her. Akiko was happy recording her friends, having fun…and well, being normal! Having powers like this…she just couldn't handle it.
"It's not fair!" Akiko shouted, making her friends swivel at her out cry.
Meeko walked over to her side and placed a hand on her shoulder. "I know it's hard…we had to go through it too." She said, trying to comfort her friend.
Makoto stepped up. "Parents have a strange was of saying they want to protect you."
Shinji nodded. "But you don't have to face this alone." He assured her.
Akiko nodded.
"Hey I got an idea." Meeko perked up. "How 'bout when we get to your house, we practice our powers a little." Since they were already invited, Meeko thought it'd be a good idea to practice.
Akiko nodded and out on a weak smile, something she hadn't been able to do for the week since she'd found out. "Okay." Then together the four went to the mansion.
Akiko and her friends walked through the door and were met a cheerful looking Tomoyo and Eriol. "Welcome home, sweetie!" Tomoyo greeted.
Akiko smiled and started up the stairs to her room, without saying anything. She had obviously not forgiven her parents for their course of action. Meeko wanted to stop her, but felt a hand placed on her shoulder. "Let her go. She just needs time." Shinji said. Meeko nodded and watched her friend disappear in her room.
Tomoyo forced a smile, despite the pain she felt for her daughter. "How about some cookies and milk?" She offered. The kids nodded, and followed her and Eriol into the kitchen.
Akiko went into her room and closed the door. She didn't mean to be rude to her guests, but her parents' gleeful expressions killed any sense of joy she had acquired before. She threw her backpack into the corner, and threw herself on to the bed. She wanted it to all go away. She never asked for this to happen to her. Why now? It just took her happy little world and turned it upside down.
Akiko began to cry and didn't even notice a couple of Clow Cards making their way around her room. Outside her window, a shadow crouched on the tree outside. It had a worried expression on its face. I'm sorry… It thought before jumping out of the tree and disappearing.
Akiko's cries were suddenly silenced when she sensed the Clow Cards presence. She looked up and saw a woman, eyes closed, dressed in a bizarre cloak, one that covered her mouth. She had a strange haircut, and a single blue jewel was set in the middle of her forehead. Akiko immediately got up and made ready to scream.
At that moment, the woman's eyes flared open, and Akiko found she couldn't scream. She couldn't speak, not even a whisper was heard. In fear, Akiko ran to the door to fetch her parents. When she got to the door though, it glowed with an eerie light and a huge lock appeared in it, making it impossible for her to escape.
Her eyes widened and she pounded on the door as terror ran through her veins. She hit and hit, while the two cards disappeared in her room somewhere.
Downstairs, everyone was eating the cookies, when Eriol stiffened. Tomoyo looked at him and immediately recognized his expression, but said nothing. Meeko and Makoto, along with Shinji also started feeling it. There's a Clow Card around here. Meeko thought to her brother. Makoto nodded.
Shinji got up and went to the end of the kitchen. "Sounds like someone pounding."
Meeko jumped up and exclaimed. "Akiko!" Makoto jumped up and ran towards Akiko's room. Meeko and Shinji called forth their weapons, as did Makoto, and they all went to aid their friend.
Tomoyo cupped her hands over her heart and made ready to follow, but Eriol held him back. "We can't do anything." Tomoyo looked back towards the fleeing children, and cried into Eriol's embrace. She felt so helpless. She only hoped the children could save her daughter.
Back at Makoto's and Meeko's house, Sakura was lying on the bed, reading a book. With the children out of the house, it was finally quiet. She heard the door open and sat up to see a happy faced Syaoran enter their bedroom. "I thought you were going to workout in the basement." She said.
Syaoran shrugged and sat next to her. "Well…with the kids away…" He leaned in and kissed her. She smiled and kissed him back. "I thought maybe since we have some time to ourselves…"
"Yes? What did you have in mind, my love?" She asked.
Syaoran smiled devilishly and began kissing Sakura, slowly laying her back, until he lay on top of her. She smiled, and gave in, kissing him back, and using her hands to caress his warrior muscles. He too kissed and caressed her body, making her moan in pleasure.
Soon, both adults were feeling such ecstasy, feeling such a fire, that neither wanted to stop. Sakura kissed Syaoran's now bear chest. She giggled as he moved his hands across her stomach, and lower down. More groans and bumps were heard as the bedpost hit the wall.
Good thing Kero was out at with Suppi, for then Sakura and Syaoran could make love freely, not caring what else was going on in the world.
Makoto and Shinji pounded on the door, trying to get in. Meeko stood on the side, unable to help any more. Both boys rammed the door, but the Lock Card would not budge. Inside, Akiko didn't know what to do. She didn't know enough about her powers to fight The Lock, or The Silent. She stopped pounding on the door. It was no use. Without the others, she was hopeless. Alone. Trapped in her room.
Matte.
She wasn't alone.
She had her own powers now.
She would get out of this.
With renewed hope, Akiko looked around her room. Though silenced, she wouldn't be conquered that easily. She would find the cards.
Outside her door, Makoto got frustrated and took out his sword. He struck the door, but it bounced back. He sliced at it again, but Lock had a barrier on the door. Only magic would break it and seal it.
Shinji growled in frustration, and turned to see Eriol coming up the stairs. "It's about time! Come on! We got to get this door open!" He yelled.
Eriol stood there, not budging. Meeko and Makoto looked at him in shock. "You're not going to help?" Meeko asked in amazement.
Shinji narrowed his gray eyes. "You're not going to just stand there while your daughter is trapped, are you?"
Eriol closed his eyes, and tried to uphold his calmness. "You know I can't. I want to, but I am bound to stay out of it."
Shinji took out his staff and ran past him. "Then I'll do it myself!" Meeko and Makoto followed him, also wielding their weapons.
Inside, Akiko looked around and tried to locate the cards. Her room was quite big, so she had some trouble at first. She was getting a sense from every direction. Soon though, she narrowed her sense to one corner and narrowed her eyes. I know you're here Silent. Come out and face me.
Silent appeared and held her eyes open, maintaining her hold on Akiko's voice. Akiko threw her hand forward and instead of aiming for Silent, like everyone had expected, she aimed at the door, and lightning struck the door, making Lock loose it's hold. Lock shattered and flew away from the door, floating in midair.
Silent's eyes went wide, and Akiko smirked. Lock got mad, if that's possible, and flew at Akiko, attempting to hit Akiko in her head. She was going to move, but instead, a red-hued shield appeared in front of her, sending Lock to the floor. Akiko turned and saw Meeko, Makoto, and Shinji jump in through the window.
Makoto smirked. "You couldn't have asked for a room on the first floor instead of the third?" He asked.
Akiko smirked, despite the seriousness of the situation. Silent, seeing her partner in crime, down, made a dash for the open window. Akiko saw it and smiled. Oh, no you don't. Akiko jumped-flipped into the air and landed in front of Silent. She kicked Silent in the stomach, sending her flying to the ground.
Silent lost her hold on Akiko, so Akiko shouted. "Now!"
Meeko raised her wand, and Shinji raised his sealing staff. "Silent! Return to the shape you were meant to be!"
"Lock! To thy true form!"
Both cards returned to their card forms and to everyone's surprise…went to Akiko! She smiled and held out her hand. The cards landed in her hand, and the glow died down. Just then, Tomoyo came bursting through the door. "Akiko!"
Akiko turned to look at her mother, but stayed where she was. Tomoyo felt tears fall down her cheeks. "I'm sorry." Was all she could say.
Akiko couldn't be mad at her mother any longer and ran into her mother's arms. Tomoyo squeezed her daughter and thanked god she was all right.
Shinji smiled and came up behind Meeko, unknowingly making her blush. "What I wonder is why would they send someone after Akiko? Aren't they after us?" He asked.
Meeko frowned, but her thoughts were interrupted by a fierce blast of thunder. All three cardcaptors ran to the window. Dark clouds and rain filled the sky. "Wow, that's some storm." Meeko commented.
"That's no normal storm." Shinji replied.
Then it hit Makoto. "It was all a decoy!"
"We have some more cards to capture!" Meeko said enthusiastically.
Akiko heard this and perked up. "Can you guys wear my clothes?"
They all sweat dropped, but in the end agreed.
Meeko turned to Makoto. "Maybe we should call mom and dad." He nodded and Akiko handed him a cellular phone.
Sakura and Syaoran were all at it. Small bead of sweat covered their bodies, as each breathed deeply, feeling immense pleasure and passion. Syaoran moved against Sakura, her body shivering under the feelings both were experiencing, though not for the first time. They did have two children remember?
Sakura tried to still her breathing, though only managed to moan in happy bliss. She grabbed Syaoran's back and held him closer to her, wanting more of what he was offering. Just as Syaoran was about to make his move…the phone rang.
Both stopped, and cursed their rotten luck. Syaoran reluctantly got off Sakura, and rolled over to his side of the bed, as Sakura reached over to the phone. "Hello?" She said as carefully as she could, though the feelings had not quite simmered down yet.
"Mom, we need you and dad to meet us at Penguin Park, stat." Her son replied.
"What's wrong?" She asked, now worried.
"What's wrong? Where have you been? Just take a look outside."
Syaoran heard and after putting back on his boxers, walked to the window. Opening it, revealed what some would say as the storm of the century.
"It's the work of a Clow Card." Sakura said.
"Yeah we know that. Meet us at the park, ten minutes." Makoto hung up.
Sakura sighed and hung up. "Well, it was good while it lasted."
Syaoran only smiled. "Defiantly."
Will they get to the park in time to find out what's causing this? Who was that shadow? (Hint: It wasn't the same women from before.) I apologize to everyone who hated the heated part between Sakura and Syaoran, but, hey they're married! They can do what they want!
