~The Untold Story~

Chapter 11

When Sakura had finished catching up with Tomoyo and Kero-chan, she noticed that Misty was gone; and so was Eric. By this time, Meiling was freaking out wondering where he was and blah, blah, blah, etc. Sakura noticed Eriol standing all alone, and ran over to him.

"Eli...Did you see where Eric and Misty went?!" she asked frantically.

Eli smiled.

"Sakura, you should know me well enough by now to know the answer to that! Of course I saw where they went, and I can only tell you this: They're perfectly fine and are on their way back as we speak."

Sakura raised an eyebrow.

"Well, why can't you just tell me which way they went?"

Eriol scratched his head.

"Um, well, I uh...kind of...don't remember...hehehehe..."

Sakura sweat-dropped. (^-^')

Then she smiled.

"Eriol, you haven't changed a bit."

"I, uh, hope that's a good thing!" he said smiling.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Back to Misty, Eric and Sparkle

The group was just rounding a corner, when Sparkle over-heard frantic, high-pitched whining.

"What on earth is making that noise?!" she asked, landing on Misty's shoulder,

Eric suddenly cringed up.

"Uh, that's my mom..." he said, scratching his head of brunette locks.

*Crap!* he thought.

"She's gonna kill me because I ran off like that...Oh man...Why does she have to be so over protective?!"

Misty and Sparkle looked at each other, then back at Eric.

"Just show her the Windy Card; then, she'll be so happy, she'll forget about the whole 'running off' thing." concluded Sparkle, fluttering her shiny, little wings.

Eric thought about Sparkle's suggestion.

"Hmm, that MAY work...Hey, it's nice to know you're good for something Sparkly Cat...Come on...Let's go before we get into even more trouble."

Sparkle grimaced.O_o

"I don't think I'm going to be too fond of that brat," said Sparkle, slightly annoyed and slowly lifting off of Misty's shoulder.

Misty giggled.

"Calm down, Sparky...He just does it to get a rise out of you...But don't worry, you'll eventually get used to him" *I know I already have.*

Sparkle settled down and landed back on Misty's shoulder.

*Sigh* (^-^') "I suppose you're right...Come on, let's go get the little weasel in trouble, shall we?"

"Sounds like a plan to me!"

Misty smiled mischievously.

"Eric, wait up!" she cried, rushing up to him.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Everyone's reunited...again...

"AH! Eric, my darling baby boy, are you alright?! Are you hurt?!" cried a frantic Meiling, as the pair of teens and the guardian rounded the corner.

Everyone, especially Eric, sweat-drops (-_-').

*Sigh* (^-^') "Mother, I'm FINE...Oh, by the way, look what I caught," he concluded, nervously as he reluctantly held the card out for all to see.

"We have another one! Yes! Only 50 more to capture!" cried a happy Sakura as she jumped up and down.

"Um, actually, 49...Misty has the 'Illusion Card'," corrected Sparkle, still on Misty's shoulder.

Everyone stared at the metallically sparkled feline resting on Misty's shoulder.

"Um, who are you?" asked a confused Syaoran.

"Oh, I'm sorry! I'm Sparkle...Nice to meet you all."

"Um, yeah, but where did you come from and what are you?!" asked Meiling, rather bluntly.

Sparkle fiercely eyed Meiling. O_o

"I'm Misty and Eric's guardian...I was created by Clow Reed's magic to watch over the new card captors."

A confused look crossed Sakura's face.

"But Clow Reed died long ago...he wouldn't be able to create any new guardians while dead...could he?" she gulped.

Sparkle pondered a moment, then answered.

"Yes, but I didn't say I was created by Clow Reed HIMSELF...Just by one who possesses large amounts of his magic," she said, winking in Eriol's direction.

"You made the Sparkly Cat, Eriol?...Why?" asked Meiling.

"It's either SPARKLE or SPARKY!! Not 'Sparkly Cat'! Geeze, I see where the boy gets it!" cried ' Sparky'.

"I told you to ignore it...who cares, they just do it to annoy you," whispered Misty.

"Whatever, now back to my question to Eriol..." said Meiling, flustered.

Eriol smiled.

"Yes, I created Sparkle. I created her because I knew that the children would need someone to guide and guard them along the far and treacherous journey to sealing magical cards."

Meiling raised an eyebrow.

"Well, what about Kero and Yue...Why can't they help them?" asked Sakura.

"Well, you see Sakura, Ceroberos and Yue are YOUR guardians; they serve only YOU. Therefore, I created Sparkle for Misty and Eric," he concluded with a smile.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The Shadowy Figure again...

*Hmm...Now the brats have received a guardian...This is getting serious...I MUST do something! I've got to stop them...If I can't obtain the 'Sakura Cards', NO ONE else will either!* thought the figure angrily.

"I've got to devise a plan....a plan to prevent the cards from being recaptured..."

The figure thought for a moment...then perked up with a sudden thought.

"AHA! I've got the perfect plan, this time and not even those little brats can ruin this one..." said the figure while smiling evilly.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Back to the gang...

Sakura, Syaoran, Misty and Eric simultaneously spun around.

"What was that? Did anyone else feel that...evil presence?" asked Sakura, rather worriedly.

"I felt it, Mom," said Misty, clutching the 'Star Rod' tighter.

"Me too..." replied Syaoran, looking around furiously.

Eric was still sensing the presence and didn't respond.

"Eric...what's wrong?" asked Misty as she shot a glance and him with her jade eyes.

Eric returned to reality, his thoughts being interrupted.
"Huh? Oh, it's nothing...C'mon, let's get outta' here," he responded shaking his head violently and walking away.

"Oh, that's bull...C'mon...What was wrong?" Misty lectured, placing her hands on her hips.

"W-what are you talking about Misty...it was nothing, ok....n-nothing." he said nervously while turning from her.

Misty grimaced at him. O_o

"Whatever...but I know your lying...C'mon, can we find a way outta'..." Misty trailed off.

"What's wrong?" asked Li, worriedly.

Misty was definitely feeling something...something evil. She couldn't quite place where it was coming from, but she knew it was there.

"Misty," Syaoran said shaking her, "What's wrong with you?!"

Misty was shaken out of her concentration, making her loose the feeling.

"I-I felt it again, Dad...That presence...it's close...or at least, it was."

"Yes...She's right; I feel it too," stated Sparkle, who was now floating by Eriol.

"Although, it's strange but, the presence seems, somehow, familiar...I'm not quite sure why..." concluded Sparkle, her metallic wings shinning in the dimly lit room.

_CRASH_

Everyone averted their glances in the direction of the sudden sound. Eriol was the first to comment.

"And so it begins..."

Everyone looked at him rather confused.

"What does that mean?!" asked Meiling, eagerly.

Eriol smiled evilly.

"Hmp...the next transformation is beginning...You'll understand soon enough...That is, when the time is right...Be alert..." he explained, "Oh, that reminds me, I've got to go now...Bye!" And with a snap of his fingers and a rising dust cloud, Eriol vanished.

"Oh great...here we go again," sighed Kero.
