Three wishes is actually being re-edited & re-posted on ff.net.. I've changed a few events and thought of new ideas while my writing was on a delay due to computer problems. So, enjoy the new version!
Chapter One
In the streets of Tomoeda markets.. Two boys; one chestnut haired with amber eyes and the other, a raven haired boy with sapphire eyes wearing glasses, were just finishing their work at the stalls. The 20 year old boys have been working part time for pocket money and to save up for future dreams such as Eriol's dream to explore the world.
The chestnut brown haired boy sighed as he sold yet another basket, while his friend attracted wandering customers. "Bargains! Bargains! Vases! Baskets! Come see!" the raven haired boy shouted. People came passing by, some buying the boys' merchandise. It was soon midday and their shift would be over, their friend Yamazaki smiled. "Hi Syaoran, Eriol! I do believe it is my shift.." Yamazaki glanced over his shoulder, before speaking again towards the amber eyed boy, Syaoran. "Syaoran! Did you know, that in the old days of Tomoeda markets they used to have animals that could talk English and Japanese! They would sell for so much money!" Syaoran looked up at his bumbling friend. Eriol came up to Yamazaki. "Ah! Yamazaki .. You should really stop telling tales to Syaoran! Other wise, he'll end up being brainwashed!" Eriol and Yamazaki laughed, while Syaoran sweat dropped. "Chiharu should be coming any moment now, so I guess you two are free to go.." Yamazaki smiled at his friends. "Did you know Chiharu is actually 300 years old--" "Yamazaki!! you Baka!! I heard that!" Chiharu, a little bit shorter than Yamazaki with brown hair curled in ringlets stood from behind Yamazaki, which he turned around to see her place her hand onto his ear and yanked him to do his work, attract customers like Eriol did. After that, Chiharu slipped Eriol and Syaoran's money into their hands.. Her father, a businessman owned five of the stalls running at the markets, which these five stalls Eriol & Syaoran worked at. Chiharu then busily went to check on Yamazaki, making sure he wouldn't scare off any good customers.
~*~*~~*~*~~*~*~~*~*~~*
Syaoran & Eriol lived in an old run down mansion that was eventually abandoned years back. The boys were saving money to renovate it to be a modern bachelor house kinda thing. But it would take awhile for the right amount of money to roll in and Eriol would always try to cheer up Syaoran: "Don't worry Syao, one day we'll hit the jackpot! I have a feeling that we will! one day.." Syaoran knew Eriol was trying to cheer him up, but Syaoran didn't feel cheered up.. hearing the same sentence used nearly every time they came home after work. "Yeah, Yeah one day.." Syaoran replied rolling his eyes. Eriol frowned. "C'mon Syaoran, have some spark in your tone.. I have a feeling we WILL be lucky this week, y'know sometimes my predictions do come true.." They walked into the house. Its old windows hammered with wooden planks on some cracks, a few cats sun-baking lazily on the fences outside.. yup, that was their home for now..
"Just look at this shabby place, soon it'll be elegant and stylish.. can't you picture it? It'll also attract the girls!" Eriol tapped on the walls. "We wish" Syaoran muttered under his breath, slumped onto a chair and closed his eyes. "Life is just so boring, working day after day.." Syaoran told Eriol as he sat beside him. "Yeah, speaking of work.. I've got us a new job tomorrow.. you see I met this guy and he wants this certain artefact thingo and he'll pay good" Eriol then stood up, "the guy said he would give us a worthy price for these things" Eriol placed a piece of paper into Syaoran's hand. He unfolded it and raised his eyebrow slightly reading their instructions and directions to their mission, it said:
Mr. Hiiragaziwa, I see you have chosen to accept the job I've told you about, you won't regret this worthy prize you'll receive when you're done. Eriol & Syaoran, you two are to meet me on the Tomoeda docks on the following date and time, no late than what I've attached. Bring no one but yourself and Syaoran. I will tell you what artefact I want on the night. Till then you must wait and keep this supremely discreet!
Mr. Negashima.
"Seems interesting, but what if we get caught stealing these objects Eriol?
we'll be in jail. This fellow means business.." Syaoran rubbed his chin in thought, "Then again, it sounds very challenging.." "So, you in Syaoran? c'mon! Mr. Negashima told me that this object is surrounded by riches that are to die for! think of the treasure! money.." Eriol started to imagine himself surrounded by his wealth and women adoring him. "Yup, it's a great start for wealth!" Eriol then walked up the creaky stairs to his room. Syaoran sighed and folded the paper into his pocket and closed his eyes. 'Another illegal job isn't it Eriol? What are you messing with..' Syaoran thought as he stood up and walked towards the stairs.
~*~*~~*~*~~*~*~~*~*~~*~*~~*~*~~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~~*~*~~*~*~
The night for the job..
It was past midnight, dark and cold foggy air surrounded the two boys as they waited for Mr Negashima. "Ack, it's so cold!" Eriol shivered in his black outfit and sunglasses. Syaoran nodded, carefully looking behind them. "Hello There, Eriol and Syaoran.." A dark figure came into view, it was a mid-aged bulky man smoking a cigar. "Mr. Negashima" Eriol shook the man's huge hand. Negashima owned a company in Tokyo city, he is also one of Tokyo's wealthy families known for their famous collection of paintings and other sacred objects. "Well, boys.. nice to see you.. so, are we ready?" Mr.N chuckled. "Lets get a move on" Mr.N signalled the boys to follow him as they reached the docks, between one dock was a speedboat loaded with shovels, sacks, torches and rope. "Now then boys hop on, it's across the beach to a lovely cove.." Mr.N started the boats engine while Eriol & Syaoran hopped on.
A few minutes later, they anchored... "Beyond that waterfall over there is the chamber to fortune lads, now remember.. you each can have whatever you see inside! Only, if you give me this item first! 'Rose D'or' meaning the Golden Rose in French, it is very fragile boys so package it well.. I'll be waiting at the entrance, don't take too long!" Mr.N called out as Eriol & Syaoran nodded, facing the waterfall. "Well, Syaoran.. let's get going.." Eriol sighed. As they swam towards the falling water, Eriol dived under the water, Syaoran close behind and rises back up to find the entrance. They shook some water off themselves and lit torches they carried in their sack.
As they entered the cavern, they encountered a stone door. the boys tried to move it but failed.
"hmm.. look for the door's trigger.." Eriol tapped on the walls. Syaoran looked at his surroundings, then the ceiling.. "Eriol! Here.." Syaoran pointed up to a small lever on the high ceiling. Eriol lifted up Syaoran as he tried to reach it.. "Damn! too high.." Eriol cringed at Syaoran's weight on his shoulders. "I could try jumping for it, stand back Eriol." Syaoran hopped off Eriol, then stepped backwards ready to run, Syaoran once learnt martial arts when he was little, making him excellent at jumping at a high distance. "Go!" Eriol shouted. Syaoran ran then leaped into the air, reached for it but missed the lever..
"Gee, this sucks.." Eriol mumbled as he looked up at the lever.. "This will take us awhile" Eriol then went to search for some rocks...
~*~*~~*~*~~*~*~~*~*~~*~*~~*~*~~*~*~~*~*~~*~*~~*~*~~*~*~~*~*~ Meanwhile, in a faint lit room surrounded by silk robes dangling from the ceiling..
"Look at them Tomoyo-chan! There so funny!" a long brown haired girl with emerald eyes in a pink dress giggled at the ball floating in her hands. The other girl, 'Tomoyo' had sapphire eyes and long raven hair tied up in pixie tails and a lavender dress was now looking at the ball, it showed two boys picking up rocks and stacking them up, she smiled.
"Sakura-chan, you put the lever up there on purpose.. how cheeky to play with our guests.. I better fix up the lever.." Tomoyo smiled as she started to create her spell. "Awww.. but Tomoyo-san.. we don't get many guests.. besides, it's about time we practice our magic.." Sakura mumbled. Tomoyo stopped, then slowly grinned. "Okay, we'll scare them abit.. but only for awhile!!" Tomoyo and Sakura giggled as they quickly planned some cheeky tricks for their new guests...
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Meanwhile, poor little Syaoran & Eriol where still trying to reach the lever..
"Okay, that should be enough.." Syaoran stood up on the pile of rocks and got his balance, without Eriol or Syaoran noticing, pink glitter shimmered around the lever and moved slightly to the left of the ceiling.. "Hey Eriol.. the lever's over there not here!!" Syaoran jumped off the rocks, Eriol fixed up his glasses and blinked. "What!?! I swear, it was here!" Eriol scratched his head in confusion. Syaoran picked up the rock and placed it again under the lever. He stood up and reached for it, "Gotcha!" Syaoran pulled it, and the door slowly slid open.
"Finally!" Eriol held their torches as Syaoran jumped off the rock, inside was a narrow pathway with three steps going down. "Now then, which way do you think is it?" Eriol looked at the two pathways before them.. Syaoran shrugged. "Some help shrugging is.." Eriol sighed.
'Left... ' a faint voice echoed in Eriol's ear. "How about Left?" Eriol commented. So, they walked into the left pathway.. "Ack! Rats.." Eriol backed away from the crawling animals scurrying around his feet, Syaoran laughed. Eriol hit Syaoran after chasing the rats away. "Yeah Yeah.." Eriol then proceeded onwards.
After a while, they soon stopped. As they heard a rumbling sound coming from behind them. Syaoran turned around and listened as the rumbling came closer. Eriol stretched his arm to show more light from his torch. Eriol stared at what was coming and began to run. "Boulders!!!!" Syaoran yelled as he began to run too. The huge boulders came tumbling after the boys as they ran for it.
Suddenly.. Syaoran stopped and Eriol looked at Syaoran as he motioned Eriol to listen quietly.. The boulders had stopped following them but there was yet another sound..
"It sounds like.. rushing water.." Eriol whispered, one eyebrow raised up. Syaoran agreed, but there couldn't be any water nearby? They walked on, past another corner when Eriol disappeared from Syaoran's sight. "Eriol!" Syaoran shouted. Eriol had stepped into a stream of water. "What the hell happened?!" Eriol angrily shouted up at Syaoran, now climbing down from where he stood. "Don't know, this must be some underground river.. connected to the cave.." Syaoran shouted back. "Can you see a exit from up there, Syao?" Eriol swam around in the water. Syaoran glanced around, it was unbelievable! A few miles away was a small tropical looking land that had trees surrounding it and rose up until it touched the caverns roof were the moon was glimmering light inside. Syaoran then spotted right at the end of the other side, a wooden door.
"There! that wall has a door!" Syaoran pointed out then jumped into the water, it was icy cold.. he met up with Eriol, swimming towards the door, it took a while to reach it and they tiredly tugged at it but it wouldn't budge.
"Great!" Eriol sighed cleaning his glasses dry. Syaoran tugged once more. It then suddenly opened... Eriol and Syaoran pushed the door aside, a bright light gleamed in their eyes.... "This must be it! The treasures of magician Clow Reid!" Eriol stepped inside..
