~The Untold Story~
Chapter 9
Everyone stared as the two beings landed, somewhat softly, in front of the group. There was dust and glass everywhere, so it was REALLY hard to know who they were, that is until one spoke.
"Hello Sakura," said a deep, masculine voice.
Sakura's emerald eyes widened as she searched her memory to see if she could identify the familiar voice. After a few moments of thinking and staring, she smiled brightly.
"CEROBEROS! IS THAT YOU!"
There was a slight laughter from behind the still settling dust.
"Yes, Card Mistress, it is I, Ceroberos, guardian beast of the seal and loyal companion to Card Captor Sakura."
Sakura ran through the, yes, still settling dust to find Ceroberos, but ran into the other figure on her way.
It was still kind of cloudy, but she could make out a few of the person's features; The person was a female, she had long, midnight black hair that went to down to the middle of her back, in what seemed to be a braid. She couldn't make out the face very well, so she moved in closer, not realizing she was already pretty close. She heard familiar girlish laughter as she moved in closer until she was staring right into a woman's face. The woman had dark, midnight blue colored eyes and had an unmistakable smile.
"Hey Sakura," she said, still laughing at Sakura's proximity.
"Tomoyo-chan!!! OH MY GOSH! I HAVEN'T SEEN YOU FOREVER!!" Sakura screamed as she threw her arms around her best friend's neck.
Finally the dust settled and everyone saw who the figures had turned out to be; Ceroberos and Tomoyo Diadouji. (AN: with Sakura still draped around her neck)
Sakura realized everyone was staring and quickly let go of Tomoyo and went for Ceroberos. She practically strangled him, she hugged him so tightly.
"Good to see you again, Ceroberos," said Syaoran, as he joined Sakura.
"Syaoran!" cried Tomoyo, as she threw her long arms around him.
"Oh, hi Tomoyo-chan!" he said, somewhat startled.
Sakura pried Tomoyo off of Syaoran and hugged him.
"Only I can hug Syaoran, Tomoyo; It's my little rule," she giggled.
Tomoyo sweat-dropped (-_-') but smiled at the happy couple.
There was a short silence, as they continued hugging. ^^
"OK! OK! Break it up, please!! We're in public!" cried Misty, as she walked over to her hugging parents.
"What? Oh, right, sorry Misty," said Sakura, laughing a bit, then looking back at Syaoran, who just shrugged.
Eric laughed, but was stopped by Meiling.
"He, he....Sorry Mom..."
Misty turned away from her parents, and walked over to Eric.
"What are you laughing at?!" she asked him in an exasperated (AN: --cool word ^^) tone.
Eric backed away from her.
"ME?! Nothing..." he said, furiously shaking his hands from side to side, "Anymore, he, he," he finished, quietly.
"WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY?!?!"
"Whoa, Misty honey calm down a bit," said Tomoyo, walking over to where the two teens stood, still glaring at one another.
"Who are you?" asked Misty, somewhat annoyed.
"Me? I'm Tomoyo, an old friend of your mother's...How have you been these past 14 years, kid? I've only seen pictures..."
Misty raised an eyebrow.
"Why do YOU have pictures of ME?"
Tomoyo smiled.
"Why, your mom and dad sent them to me after you were born. All of their old friends have them you know; You're probably a pretty popular kid." she chuckled.
"Um...Ok...whatever you say...."
"Now back to you!" She said pointing at Eric, who jumped at the sudden finger in his face.
"WHAT DID I DO?!?" he screamed.
Everyone sweat-drops (-_-'), including Misty.
"ERR!! Boys!" she said walking away.
Tomoyo giggled a bit and walked over to Sakura.
"You know, Sakura, those two remind me a lot of you and Syaoran when you were kids..."
Sakura smiled.
"Yeah....WHAT?! Like me and Syaoran??? Oh...THAT can't be a good sign..."
"Why not? You and Syaoran are married and in love now...Why would that be awful for your daughter to have that same kind of relationship someday?" Tomoyo asked, confused.
Sakura searched her mind for an answer, but found nothing reasonable to say in her favor.
"I suppose you could be right Tomoyo-chan...I just don't think she's ready, that's all."
"Well when she IS, Sakura, she'll know..."
"Tomoyo, there's something that kind of baffles me..." Sakura said, abruptly changing the subject.
"What's that?" she responded, twirling her black hair around her index finger.
"Well, what are you and Kero doing here? Now? With us, like this?....Not that I'm complaining, it's just that...someone had to tell you something was wrong, otherwise you probably wouldn't be here right now...."
Tomoyo continued to twirl her hair and smiled.
"Kero sensed something abnormal here and we came, that's all..."
Sakura thought a moment about Tomoyo's answer.
"Oh...That's it? Really? No one told you, Kero just 'sensed' it?"
"Yep, that's all...He just 'sensed' it," Tomoyo concluded with a dazzling smile.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A shadowy figure lurks close-by...
*No...This cannot happen...the Mistress' daughter mustn't obtain her powers...if she does, I shall be no more...Hmm...I suppose I should do something about this little situation...*
_PAUSE_
"A HA!" the figure concluded, snapping their rough fingers.
"He He He....This is the perfect idea..." they concluded, rubbing their coarse hands together.
*No one will ever suspect that it is me...Hmm, I should probably make myself a little more presentable, though...*
With those thoughts, words and the snapping of a finger, the figure vanished into thin air.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Back to the main characters...
(AN: Eric and Misty are standing back-to-back.)
"Can you NOT lean on me, please?!" said a still aggravated Misty.
Eric rolled his eyes.
"I don't know what you're taking about...I'm NOT leaning on you, in fact, I'm no where near even touching you...So back off, girlie," he said, still agitated from Misty's coarse dialogue. (AN: he he! The wonders of a Thesaurus!)
*ERR! Boys! I hate them! Especially this one...ERR! Why can't he be even the tiniest bit nice to me?! What the heck did I ever do to him?!* ~*Sigh*~ (^-^')
Meanwhile, Eric was lost in his own train of thought.
*_Humph_ GIRLS...why do you need 'em?! All they do is nag, nag, nag! Especially her...Geeze, what's stuck up her butt! All I was doing was showing my sense of humor and she lashes out on me...I can't believe I thought I actually liked her...Even a little..."
So, they continued to be back-to-back until one of the adults said something.
"_sigh_ (^-^') Ok, you two; Can we PLEASE stop whatever disagreement you guys are having?! We NEED to get a move on and capture the rest of these cards...Now, both of you apologize to each other...NOW," said a, surprisingly stern, Sakura.
(AN: after that was said, they both had the "WHAT?!" look on their faces...he he...that's cute ^^)
Seeing that neither was willing to go first, she chose one.
"Misty, apologize."
Misty quickly swung her head around and faced her mother.
"WHAT?! WHY SHOULD I APOLOGIZE! IT'S HIS FAULT FOR LAUGHING AT OUR FAMILY PROBLEMS! HE'S THE ONE WHO SHOULD BE APOLOGIZING!"
"Misty, I don't wanna hear it...APOLOGIZE!"
Misty sighed (^-^')
"Whatever," she muttered.
"I'm....s-s-sorry..." Misty stuttered, then placed her arms back over her chest.
Eric's eyes widened and he had that sympathetic/mad/angry look (AN: in other words, he didn't know whether to be mad or sad, aka, forgiving)
"I'm sorry, too," he said, still not facing her.
"Good, now that that little mishap is settled, let's get a move on and find the next card!" said Sakura as she jumped up and down, as if excited.
"He He, hold on, Kero, change into your, uh, earthly form, please," said Tomoyo, looking at the huge lion with wings next to her.
"_sigh_ (^-^') Very well, stand back, everyone."
After a flash of light and huge wings encircling the monstrous animal, there came a little yellow stuffed animal-looking thing with wings standing in the place were the beast had stood just moments ago.
Syaoran burst out laughing.
"WHY DID YOU GO--HAHAHAHA-- BACK TO THE--HAHAHA--STUFFED ANIMAL--HAHA--FORM--HAHAHAHAHA," said Syaoran, who was obviously NOT trying to contain his laughter.
Kero flew over to the laughing Syaoran and bit his finger, then flew over to Sakura. Syaoran just held his finger in pain.
Sakura laughed slightly as she watched her husband shake his hand up and down as it throbbed in pain.
"Kero, I'm so glad you're back to help us! I missed you SO much," Sakura said, hugging her long lost buddy. ^^
"Oh Sakura, it's great to see you again too..." Kero replied sentimentally.
"Kero," said Sakura as she released her grip on the yellow animal.
"Hmm?"
"Where's Yue? I mean, if you're here and Tomoyo's here, where's Yukito? Shouldn't he be here too?"
Kero thought about Sakura's question for a moment. He was just about to answer, when the Maze Card began to change again. They had forgotten all about it when they were reunited.
Sakura ran in Misty's direction.
"Misty! Do still have the staff out?!" she called breathlessly as she continued running.
Misty looked down at her hands. Sure enough, there was the 'Star Staff '.
Misty looked up at her mother and nodded her head "yes".
Sakura had finally reached her daughter and was trying hard to catch her breath.
"Ok, the first thing you need to know when capturing a magical card is that it must be weakened before you can confine it's powers."
Misty thought of this for a moment, then got an idea. She closed her eyes and concentrated hard on her target. In her mind she visualized something striking the card. Suddenly, her jade eyes shot open and a lightning bolt, which came out of no where, struck the large green walls of the already spiraling maze.
Sakura looked on in amazement.
"I think I'll ask you how you did that later," she sighed (^-^')
Sakura shook it off, and regained her former train of thought.
"Ok, Misty, I need you to follow these instructions; it's the only way we can capture this card; Are you ready?"
Misty shook her head, "Ready for anything."
"Ok," said Sakura, "repeat after me,"
"Maze Card, return to your powers confined! Sakura Card!"
Misty repeated what her mother had told her to say. After she finished, the large green walls of the maze began to spiral in the opposite direction and turn into beams of white light. Those beams of light eventually turned into a card and hovered in front of Misty.
"Why is it just....floating there?!" she asked ignorantly.
Sakura laughed. "Misty, it's waiting for you to take it."
*ME?! Why ME...* she thought.
Misty grabbed the card quickly and shoved it in her mother's direction.
"Here, Mom, YOU take it....I, I don't know how to use it...so here."
Sakura pushed it back in Misty's direction.
"No Misty, YOU captured it; it's your card now," she said, smiling weakly.
Misty examined her new piece of property and smiled.
Eric was standing behind her smiling to himself at Misty's achievement.
*Wow...she did it...I don't believe it...Maybe she's not so lame after all...*
Meiling looked around at the group and spotted Sakura and Syaoran congratulating and hugging their new Card Captor; she saw Eriol and Tomoyo talking and smiling to each other; then there was Kero, who was just kinda floating there, still thinking about what Sakura had asked him about Yue. When she finally reached Eric, she saw that he was smiling and laughing to himself.
Meiling raised an eyebrow.
"What are you so happy about?"
Eric quickly snapped out of his "happiness trance" and turned to face Meiling.
"Oh me?! Nothing!"........
