Chapter 3: A day of demons
*Halliwell Manor*
"You guys, where's Sakura?" asked Tomoyo.
Everybody froze.
"Kero, Lang, come here!" called Rika.
Kero came down. "Lang's not here, what's up?"
"Sakura's gone."
"Mistress, gone?"
"Oh god, what if Lothor." Tomoyo left off.
Everybody had fearful looks on their faces.
Then Yelan spoke up. "From what I've seen, Lang is extremely protective of Sakura, maybe he followed her. He also seems very strong and capable, I'm sure that both he and Sakura are safe and sound."
"But where would Sakura possibly go?" asked Fuutie.
"I think I know!" exclaimed Sheifa.
Everybody turned his or her attention toward her.
"Don't you remember?" she asked her mother and sisters. "Sakura went
to find Oto-to!"
They all gasped. Yelan spoke. "That's right, but she would be back,
wouldn't she?"
"Not necessarily!" exclaimed Tomoyo. "We think Sakura and Syaoran have a crush on each other! Maybe they eloped! How romantic."
"Oh really?" Yelan was pleased. "Well, let's check, it's worth a try
after all." Yelan led the way.
"The Chinese gaki better not have hurt Sakura!" shouted Kero as they
headed out the door.
*Li Mansion*
"Kawaii." Whispered seven women.
"Don't wake them up." Whispered Yelan. She walked over to her son and
Sakura.
Sakura and Syaoran were sitting on the floor, with their homework around them, sleeping. Sakura's head was placed on top of Syaoran's, with a smile placed on her lips. Syaoran's head was lightly placed on top of Sakura's. His arm was protectively placed around Sakura's waist, and even he had a smile on his lips.
"Now I don't think I want to take her home." Tomoyo thought aloud.
Then, Lang came down the stairs. He had a large comforter on his back, and was holding onto two pillows with his mouth.
"So you did stick by Sakura, good boy!"
"He's a guardian, Rika, not a dog." Corrected Tomoyo.
"Yeah, well, Sakura'd feel more comfortable in her own bed, I think."
Rika badly countered.
"Hold on, just let me get a little footage, I'll call it a step toward babies! No, how bout, the kawaii relationship's beginnings."
So Tomoyo got a few minutes worth of footage. After that, Leon orbed Sakura and her stuff to her room. When they had left Kero decided it was time for payback, no one held on to his mistress, especially not a Chinese gaki.
"WAKE UP CHINESE GAKI!" Kero shouted at the top of his lungs.
Syaoran jumped up with a scowl.
"KERO!!" everybody shouted. But of course, Tomoyo shouted the loudest.
"YOU ARE SO LUCKY THAT I GOT THE KAWAII-EST MOMENT EVER ON TAPE, IF I HADN'T YOU WOULD BE SO DEAD, YOU WOULDN'T EVEN REALIZE IT!" she yelled
Everybody fell down anime style. Leon returned just when everybody had
gotten up.
"Ara, I guess you don't need me to orb Li-san to his bed then."
"No, but you can orb us all home, I'm done in."
"Kitto (definitely)."
"Sa minna-san." Said Tomoyo, Rika, Eriol, and Kero.
"Sa minna-san." Repeated Yelan, Fuutie, Fanren, Feimei, and Sheifa.
"Sa." Spoke Syaoran.
Everybody looked at him.
"Nani (what)?" he asked, annoyed.
"Nandemonai (nothing @ all)." They lied.
The Charmed gang and Kero orbed out.
*Yelan's room*
"I think it's happening again, Elders."
"What makes you think that?" asked a man.
"Well Ling, he doesn't seem to be as impassive. He actually said
goodbye, and."
"And?" asked another.
"And, Xiao Ming, the Cherry Blossom had went to find Syaoran, and hadn't returned. We all were worried, but checked here. We found them, and they had fallen asleep in quite a cozy position. One of the Kinomoto's actually taped it."
"Are you positive that he is falling in love?" asked a man with a deep
voice.
"Ming, I have never been so sure of anything more. There's just one thing though, he hasn't admitted it to himself. It's plausible that he doesn't even realize that it's love."
"He hasn't done that yet?" asked a voice that would make someone
flinch.
"No, Ping, he's never experienced love, not really. But it won't take
long until he realizes it."
"Have you found out if Syaoran's Ying Fa is the one in the prophecy? If so, how does has she have so much power?" asked a very wise voice.
"Hai, I have, Long. She's a Charmed One, and-"
"A Charmed One?" exclaimed Ming.
"And...?" asked Long.
"Believe it or not, Ying Fa happens to be the Card Mistress."
"The Card Mistress?" all five exclaimed.
"Yes. She's probably the strongest Charmed One; she has quite a few powers. And her sorcery, it's amazing. She's only 16, and yet she has transformed all the Clow Cards into Star Cards, created some of her own Cards, created her own guardian, and she is Fujitaka's daughter, who is the half reincarnation of Clow Reed."
"Is she in danger?" asked Xiao Ming.
"I'm afraid so." Answered Yelan.
"How?" asked Ping
"There's a demon called Lothor. He's looking for the purest human heart to give him unlimited power. According to the prophecy we know about, Ying Fa's heart should be the one to give him just that. I do have good news. They're making a spell to protect innocents' hearts', and by putting a single rose in the potion, everything decent and good in this world will be protected."
"Good. Report as soon as possible."
"As you wish."
*12:00 am*
"Yahoo! Ohayo gozaimasu!" Shouted Sakura.
"Why are you so happy?" asked Tomoyo.
"Obviously kajuu's had her morning snack of kajuu pills."
"First of all, Sakura's no kajuu! Second of all, that was totally lame."
"Have to agree with her there." Spoke Rika.
"Me too, it was lame." Agreed Tomoyo.
"Blah blah."
"Why are you so happy, Sakura?" asked Rika.
"Because of the demon, school's closed!!"
Tomoyo laughed. "That's right. So then I wonder if vanquishing the demon and not fixing up the classroom was personal gain?"
Both Touya and Rika attempted to figure it out. Sakura spoke up instead. "Lang and I are gonna go jogging, okay?"
"Sure, demo (but), can you take a look at the TV first?"
"Sure." agreed Sakura hesitantly.
Sakura checked the TV she blushed an implausible red. There, paused on the screen, was a picture of herself and Syaoran. Sakura stood frozen to the spot, unable to move. When she finally snapped out of her own planet, she could barely speak. "I-I, come on Lang!" she stuttered, and ran out the door, Lang at her heels.
"Kami-sama! That was embarrassing, ne?" Sakura exclaimed after she was outside.
"Woof!" replied Lang.
Sakura giggled. "Yeah, well let's go. We'll just run around the block. Hope we don't run into Syao-kun, I'll turn red!"
*2 hours later*
Sakura and Lang suddenly stopped in their tracks. Lothor was right in front of them, looking especially mean today. It didn't bother Sakura, she just joked.
"Looks like somebody woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning. Or maybe we had a little accident? In any case, you kept your promise. I didn't think you had that good of a memory."
"Can I mistake your sarcasm for fear?"
"You'd better not, you'd get your butt kicked if you would."
"I highly doubt that. It's not my wish."
"So?" Sakura asked, becoming undeniably bored.
"All my wishes come true."
"Not anymore, I created the wish card. "Key that hides the power of the stars, she your true form to me. I, Sakura, command you under our contract, RELEASE! Fly, give me wings, release! Dash, give me speed in flying, release! Sword, I need your power, release!"
Wings on her back, Sakura dashed over to Lothor. With her fast speed, Lothor hadn't had a second to react before he was on the ground, oozing out blue blood.
Sakura then went straight up to the sky, as far as she could possibly go. She needed to formulate a plan, quick. Then she heard from down below: "Element Lighting, come to my aide!" She knew Syaoran was down there fighting Lothor by himself. Then she came up with an idea. "Leon!" she called.
Leon appeared beside, her, in the air. He just realized where he had appeared, when Sakura caught him.
"Lothor's down there. Go get Tomoyo and Rika. Tell them to get a vial filled with dye and water, and write a verse or two of a spell we've used in the past to vanquish, okay?"
"Right." He orbed away.
Now Sakura had to help Syaoran, and pray that her sisters would soon come. She flew down and cut Lothor again. She stood beside Syaoran, who both were in a fighting stance.
"I'll get you for that!" said Lothor.
Just then, Leon appeared with both Tomoyo and Rika, who were carrying a vial of blue stuff and a piece of paper.
Sakura froze Lothor. "Create, put the CCS POT* symbol on the ground, release!" Create did as told, then turned back into his card form. "Give me the potion." Sakura ordered. Tomoyo obeyed.
Sakura unfroze Lothor and threw the potion at him. "Let's say the spell!" exclaimed Sakura to Tomoyo, Rika, and Syaoran.
"*Demon made from darkness all."
"Kuso! I'll get you next time!" he shimmered out.
Sakura smiled. 'I'm one superb trickster. Go me!'
"Okay Sakura, what was with the dyed water and fake spell, is that his weakness?"
Syaoran was dumbfounded. "And you think Sakura's naïve? Lothor obviously thought you had found a potion and spell to vanquish him."
"Aa (yes)! And Syaoran helped because he's not a Charmed One."
"That was brilliant, Sakura!" complimented Rika.
"Arigato!" thanked Sakura. Then she remembered the tape and blushed.
Leon, Tomoyo, and Rika started to laugh, leaving Syaoran totally and completely confused. He looked at both the blushing Sakura and bunch of laughing people he had now dubbed 'weirdo' and sighed.
"What's so funny!?" he asked, unnerved.
"Nandemonai! Come on race ya! Then we can get some ice cream!"
Syaoran nodded his head. "Agreed!" he agreed. They started off.
After a little while, Syaoran, amazed with Sakura's speed, tried to pick up his pace, with no avail. They were tied. They ran for a couple miles, then, seeing they weren't getting anywhere, gave up.
"Wow, no one has ever been able to keep up with me, with or without the Dash."
"Me neither. Of course, some people tied with me for a little while, but eventually."
"I get it. Ya want ice cream now? It's right across the street. It'll be my treat. Think of it as my 'Welcome to the neighborhood' gift."
Syaoran gave Sakura a slight smile. "Sure."
So they walked over to the ice cream shop. "What do you want, Syaoran?"
"Ano, I'll have the Chocolate Storm."
"Okay. I'll have 2 chocolate storms and 1 Brownie Earthquake."
"Coming right up. That'll be 100 yen." (A/n: Is that a lot? I don't know Japanese currency to American.)
"Hai (yes.)" Sakura handed of her money, then gave Syaoran his ice cream while she headed over to an empty table, Lang at her heels. (A/n: just to make it clear, they're eating outside.)
Syaoran sat down, Sakura across from him. Lang sat down beside Sakura. Sakura then gave Lang his ice cream. He started licking it, and pure enjoyment was written all over his furry face.
"You sure you should be feeding him that?"
"Oh, don't worry, Lang can eat according to his needs, and well, basically he can eat anything he desires. And besides, Lang is a wolf, not a dog."
"Ha ha, I'm laughing hysterically."
Sakura gave Syaoran a bright smile. "I know, you didn't have to announce it."
"Sakura? Why were they all laughing back there?"
Sakura blushed. "Ano. Well, ya see. Well, it just happened. Last night, we fell asleep next to each other and we were in a.very couple-ish looking position."
"So that's what Tomoyo meant by the Kawaii-est moment ever."
"Uh-huh."
"Hey Sakura, I've decided to help you with your Lothor problem. You mentioned Mandrake Root, when is it coming?"
Sakura opened her mouth to reply, when she was interrupted.
"Ohayo Sakura-chan." Said an unknown voice.
"Ohayo. Oh and by the way, it's Kinomoto-san to you, Moto-san." Answered Sakura. Then she turned to Syaoran. "Let's go Syaoran."
Moto looked over at Syaoran and spoke, jealousy filling his voice. "Who's this?"
"Li Syaoran desu." Answered Syaoran, his own voice filled with cruelty.
"Moto Miroku desu."
"Now that we're through with introductions, let's go Syaoran, Lang."
Before Sakura could walk away, Miroku grabbed her arm. "Aren't you going to come with me?"
"Iie now let go."
"Oh come on Sakura, I don't bite."
"I heard otherwise, now let go!"
Syaoran was just about to step in, when Lang growled fiercely.
"When did you get a dog?" Miroku asked, fear extremely evident in his voice.
"Yesterday. He's a stray, and he seems to like women only, except for Syaoran that is. We haven't tried him with strangers yet, and I think he'd do anything to protect me, might wanna watch out. He's small, but strong."
As if on cue, Lang growled devilishly. "Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr woof, woof!!"
"Now let's go." She turned and walked off, Syaoran and Lang following closely.
Miroku watched them walk off, a scowl on his face. (A/n: not Syaoran's kawaii scowl!)
*At the Manor*
"Minna-san, we're home!" called Sakura
"Finally, we were beginning to think that you two had eloped or something." Spoke up Tomoyo.
Syaoran and Sakura blushed a red pepper red.
"Who eloped?" asked Touya, who had just came downstairs.
"Sakura and Syaoran." Answered Rika.
"NANI? YOU'D BETTER GET A DIVORCE PRONTO! I WON'T HAVE SOME CHINESE GAKI TAKE THE KAJUU AWAY, IT JUST WON'T HAPPEN. DO YA HEAR ME, IT JUST WON'T EVER, EVER, EVER, EVER HAPPEN!!!"
"Tomoyo's just joking, Onii-chan."
"No she's not!" argued Rika.
"Ahh, so my cute little descendent married my half daughter, who knew that would happen?" spoke up Eriol.
He had to have started it up.didn't he?
"Don't call me that!"
"Don't call you what my cute lil' descendant?"
"Don't call me your cute little descendent, successor."
"Why, my cute little descendent?"
"Never mind." Answered Syaoran, defeated.
Sakura giggled. "You two are really funny, do you know that. They should make a show where all you do is insult each other. I'd watch it."
Unknown to Sakura, Touya was sneaking behind her. "BOO!" he shouted.
"HOE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! A Ghost!!!!!!" Sakura ran behind Syaoran and grabbed him tightly. "Kill it Syaoran, kill it!!"
"Ah ha, I scared you!" shouted Touya.
Sakura then realized what he had done. "Touya!"
"Boo." He replied.
By that time, Sakura wasn't feeling happy, quite the opposite, actually. "Kinomoto Touya!" she froze him. "Fixy, release and dispel!" she dressed Touya in a pink tutu. Then she orbed him in the middle of a crowded street. She whispered something, and then orbed on top of a roof, with a bag of popcorn in her hand.
She unfroze everybody, and Touya was standing there, with everybody staring. He was so red; he looked like her was going to explode. Sakura she grabbed some more popcorn and jammed it in her mouth.
After about 10 minutes, she froze everybody, including Touya, who had only his head unfrozen.
"Why, how are you Touya? Have a nice ballet class?" she circled him a few times, as if inspecting him. "I really would have changed into regular clothes before going out, though. Aren't you embarrassed?" she stopped in front of him, arms crossed and shaking her head. "Really Touya, where is your pride?" she clucked her tongue a few times. "How do you feel?" she asked, faking sincerity.
"Sakura." He spoke, in a warning voice.
She chuckled a little. "Touya, you obviously don't know me well at all. Would I really do this?" she paused, waiting for an answer. When none came, she continued. "I used illusion so that you appeared to be Moto Miroku. It really was to my benefit. I almost gave you a heart attack, and totally embarrassed Moto-san! Today is good!" she gave a slight giggle, than got to work.
She moved Touya a good many feet to the right, called back illusion, put Touya back in his own clothes, and orbed back on the roof, where she unfroze everybody.
Suddenly, the earth started shaking, Sakura had to fight to keep her balance. That's when she noticed a gigantic demon out to destroy. He was at lease 45 ft tall.
"Leon!" she called. Sakura jumped off the roof. "Oh key that hides the power of the stars, show you true form before me. I, Sakura, command you under our contract. RELEASE! Little, make this demon 1 ft tall, release!"
Just then, Leon appeared with Syaoran.
"Where are Tomoyo and Rika?" Sakura asked.
"Another demon attacked, I brought Syaoran." He answered.
"Okay, I have him shrunk, so all we need to do is say a spell. Hopefully it'll take two to tango."
The demon, which still had powers, fired a small energy ball at Sakura. Syaoran reflected in with his sword.
"Arigato."
"Sure."
"Okay, just repeat after me."
"Right."
"*Demon made now so small." Sakura chanted
"Demon made now so small." They spoke together.
"With the power of two feel the pain of all."
"With the power of two feel the pain of all."
"Now you're gone as I say."
"Now you're gone as I say."
"And everything will be okay."
"And everything will be okay."
The demon made a horrible screeching noise, and slowly, slowly, still very slowly, burned to his death. The only thing that marked his existence was a small pile of ash, which soon blew away.
"That's the best spell you could use?" asked Syaoran.
"My muse is out to lunch, what can I say?" she answered.
"Tomoyo and Rika are calling me." He orbed out than orbed back, this time with Sakura's sisters.
"What's with all the demons?" asked Tomoyo.
"I don't know, I'll ask the Elders."
"Good. Hey! Maybe today's a demon free for all! They all come out and party."
Everybody but Syaoran and Leon were skeptic. Leon, after nodding at the idea, orbed out.
"A demon free for all?"
"Yeah!" Sakura said defensively.
"Give Sakura some credit, she deserves that at least." Defended Syaoran.
Everybody but Sakura looked at him with amazement. Sakura she gave him her 100-watt smile.
"Arigato gozaimasu!"
Leon came back. He smiled at Sakura. "Guess what." He spoke.
"What?" everybody asked.
"Sakura was almost right. Today, lower level demons kill or capture as many people and witches, fairies, etc to become of a higher rank. It was practiced centuries ago, but was eventually stopped. According to the grapevine somebody brought it back. Oh and-" (A/n: how do ya like the grapevine? It's the synonym for apparently.)
"Really? Sakura was right?" asked Touya.
"Hai." He answered.
"That's amazing." Spoke Rika.
"Hey!" Sakura shouted.
"It's true!" everybody except Leon and Syaoran said.
"Syaoran, help me!" she pleaded.
He answered her wishes. "I don't know why you're so surprised. Sakura has been practicing magic long before you all. She's an expert, and knows tons more than you do. Especially you." He nodded toward Touya.
"Why you!" he exclaimed getting really mad.
Sakura stepped in between Touya and Syaoran, hoping to stop a death. "Touya, don't!" she turned and walked up to Syaoran. She hugged him and don't him thank you. He replied that she was welcome. She smiled. "Weren't you going to say something else, Leon?" Sakura asked.
"Hai. The demons are mostly after magical people, but a demon can be raised by several ranks if they capture Sakura."
"Why so much on me?"
Leon and Touya looked at Syaoran. It was their way of asking. 'Should I tell them, or should you?'
"I'll tell them." Spoke Syaoran.
"Tell what? Why am I so important?"
Syaoran answered her. "The demon that was at school, do you remember what he said?"
"Sou (yeah). There will be a woman born of the most powerful magic. The Cherry Blossom will melt the Little Wolf's heart, in turn, they'll fall in love and their power will be unstoppable."
"Hai. Both Lothor and I think you're the Cherry Blossom in the prophecy. Lothor is after you more than anybody, because it sounds like in the prophecy that the Wolf has a stone heart. To melt a stone heart, you have to have a heart of gold. You have to be careful."
A light bulb went up in Touya's head. He turned as read as can be and he was obviously mad. "ARE YOU SAYING THAT MY SISTER'S SUPPOSED TO FALL IN LOVE WITH YOU!!" Touya wasn't pleased.
"Nani?" Syaoran was slightly confused. (A/n: Syaoran's not naïve, he was just so worried about Sakura that he forgot about the wolf part of the prophecy.)
"LITTLE WOLF, THAT'S WHAT YOUR NAME MEANS, DOESN'T IT!?"
Realization dawned on him. "Hai." He answered.
Tomoyo had stars in her eyes. "So Sakura and Syaoran are going to fall in love? How kawaii!"
"I guess." Answered Leon.
"KAWAII!" they shouted.
"Uh-oh." Spoke Sakura.
She started backing up, Syaoran right behind her. They both knew what was coming. They backed away more, but Tomoyo and Rika just came closer. When Sakura felt her back hit a wall, she orbed herself and Syaoran out of there.
*Starlight Park*
"That was scary." Spoke Sakura once they were at the park. She sat on a swing and started pumping her legs back and forth, trying to get the swing going.
She sighed and turned to Syaoran who was sitting on the merry-go-round. Syaoran had his eyes closed. "Tricky thing about prophecies, they don't tell you everything." Syaoran opened his eyes. What had Sakura said?
"What do you mean?" he asked.
"How many Sakura and Syaoran's do you think there are? Tons. More so, how many people do you think have a name that means Cherry Blossom and Little Wolf? Besides, I know that you don't exactly like the idea of being forced to marry or anything."
His face softened. "Arigato gozaimasu (Thanx very much)."
"Doi tashi mashite (you're welcome)."
Syaoran smiled and Sakura blushed. Soon she collected herself and smiled back.
"How long should we stay here?" asked Syaoran.
"I don't know."
"That's not good."
"Chigau" she argued.
"Honto?"
"Hai."
"Dousta?"
"Tonight's a full moon. Starlight Rock has a perfect view."
"So you wanna go there?"
"Hai. Are you coming?"
"Why not, may as well do something with my time."
They slowly walked towards the spot Sakura had indicated. There was a bench a few feet fron the edge of the cliff. Sakura sat down on the bench. The wind blew her hair in her face and she instinctively brushed it away. Syaoran joined her. And spoke up.
"It's 4:00, what are we going to do till night?"
"Hmm.Well I was thinking, since I'm not that good with elemental magic, you could help me."
"Sure."
"Great!"
Then, Lang showed up.
"I was wondering when you'd come. I'm gonna practice my magic!"
Lang sat down beside his mistress to watch.
*8:00*
"Yatta! I've finally got it!" Sakura had exclaimed.
Even though Sakura could use elemental magic, she couldn't control it to the point where she could fill a tiny whole with water, or light a candle, or even make a small breeze. Yue and Kero were going to teach her that next.
"Aa. It took longer for you to control Earth and Fire, but I think you're a natural for moon magic."
"Hai, it didn't take me nearly as long to control."
Just then, Syaoran's stomach growled loudly. He, in turn, turned 53 different shades of red. Sakura laughed.
"Move, bring some food from home!" (A/n: I know that Move can only move light things small distances, but the more powerful Sakura becomes, so do the cards.)
When Move had done its job, there was a big dinner of fried rice, Soba, Udon, Sukiyaki, Tempura, Sushi, Kaiseki Ryori, Yakitori, Tonkatsu, and Shabu-shabu.
Sakura giggled. "Well, I know Syaoran's hungry enough to eat most of this."
He blushed. "Honestly, I don't know. We'll just have to see, won't we?"
"Hai." Sakura served Syaoran and then Lang, and finally, herself. "Cheers." She said.
They all started eating and were on their second helping.
"I like your Kaa-san, Syaoran, she's really nice."
"I wouldn't really know."
Sakura stopped eating. "Dousta?" she asked.
"I was always too busy training. I never had enough time for friends or stuff like that. I trained most of my life away. When I wasn't doing schoolwork, I was training. That's just how it was."
"Oh. So that's why you're mean to people."
"I guess so."
Sakura gave him a smile and picked up a chopstick. But instead of putting it in her own mouth, she shoved it in Syaoran's and laughed.
Lang put his plate under his nose and flung it up in the air. His food landed on both Sakura and Syaoran. They both laughed. "Nobody can call you a chicken, Syaoran, you're a fish!"
Just then, Leon orbed in. "Another demon."
Sakura groaned. "Okay. Fixy, put Syaoran and I in battle costumes!" On command, Fixy came out of its card form. It snapped it's fingers, and Cherry Blossoms surrounded both Sakura and Syaoran. When the tornado was done, Syaoran was in his usual ceremonial robe.
When Sakura appeared out of the tornado, she was wearing one of Tomoyo's creations that hadn't been made yet. (A/n: see if you can picture it, I think it looks cool.)
It looked sort of like Meiling's out fit. (A/n: even if she isn't in here yet) The red part of her out fit is the only thing there. The parts that are red are instead pink. Instead of being yellow/orange, it's green. A cherry blossom replaces the yin yang of Meiling's out fit. Now the outfit does have the long sleeves, but they do not set on the shoulders. Instead, they reveal them. She has a pink choker on, that has a star pendant hanging off of it. (A/n: picture the necklace from the 2nd movie, you know the one with her princess outfit?) She has her hair in the traditional style, with pink scrunchies.
"Oh key that hides the power of the stars, show your true form to me. I, Sakura, command you under out contract.RELEASE!!"
"Sources of light with ancient spin send forth the magic power within. Oracles of gold, wind, water, and electricity, Force, know my plight, release the light!" (A/n: is that the rite incantation?)
"Let's go!" shouted Sakura. She grabbed Syaoran's hand, and grabbed Lang's paw.
'She's beautiful.' Thought Syaoran right before they orbed out.
*In town*
"Thank goodness you're here!" exclaimed Rika. "The demon isn't a strong one, but he brought thousands of his friends." She led them to where Tomoyo was throwing fireballs at the demons. Sakura froze all the demons, Firey, attack!"
"God of Fire, come forth!" called Syaoran. It only weakened the still frozen demons.
Everybody was amazed.
'Think of a spell.' Sakura thought to herself.
"Okay, repeat after me." She ordered her sisters.
"*Demons in a bunch leave this place, so that I won't have to see your ugly face. Go away, to never return, with element fire, you shall burn."
Firey and Syaoran's magic attacked again, and this time the demons screeched. They soon disappeared. Fixy, clean the town up. Erase, remove the townspeople's memories!" The cards did their job and turned back to their card form.
"Well, Leon and I have a date, so bye." She and Leon orbed out.
"I do too, Sakura, do you mind?" asked Tomoyo.
"Not at all." She took Tomoyo to Eriol's than returned to town.
"Wanna go to my house?" she asked Syaoran.
"Hai!" answered Kero.
"I didn't ask you."
"Sure."
So Sakura orbed herself, Syaoran, Lang, and Kero home.
*Halliwell Manor*
When Syaoran, Sakura, Kero, and Lang looked around the Manor, they were amazed. The whole place was trashed; nothing was where it should have been.
"Oh Kami!" exclaimed Sakura. "Kero, check to see if the Star book is still here, I have the cards, datte (but still). And Lang, can you check upstairs to see if the Book of Shadows is okay?"
Both guardians nodded.
"Okay to see if anything was stolen just say this spell in a desired room.
"A stranger was here not long ago, Whether small or big of woe, His evil deeds I need to know, Show me if anything was taken by my foe."
"Got it."
A good 10 or 15 minutes had passed when Sakura and Syaoran met again in the hallway.
"Anything stolen?" he asked.
"Iie." She answered. "Maybe Kero or Lang found something."
Just then Kero came down with the Star book in his hand.
"The book was opened, but like you said, you have the cards. Nothing was taken. Maybe Lang found something."
"Right. Lang, did you find anything?" no answer. "Lang!" still no answer. "Lang, Lang!" Lang didn't answer the call. "Lang." She whispered. She orbed upstairs. Kero flew up after her, and Syaoran after him.
When they reached the attic, Sakura was on her knees, crying. Lang lay there, badly injured.
"Say a spell, Sakura." Ordered Kero politely.
Sakura choked on her tears before replying. "I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't think."
Syaoran went over to comfort her. "Just concentrate, take a deep breath."
Sakura did as told. "Let's.*hiccup*.see." she took a deep breath. "*Guardian loved and new, with my magic I heal you, be as you were created, and keep out love from being faded."
Lang was surrounded by a pink aura, and then opened his eyes. Sakura squealed, and hugged Lang tightly. He licked her face reassuringly, and then turned to the opposite wall, only to growl.
On the wall, painted with blood red paint, was a message it read:
So you stupid mages really have found a spell,
Well I'll destroy you so you can't tell,
I'll kill the eldest and then the middle,
Why Mistress, don't you like my riddle,
You're lucky I didn't find it here,
If I had you wouldn't be able to appear,
Even to the place where your soul shall sleep,
Give it to me now; you're in the water to deep!
"No, Kami."

Chapter 3: A day of demons
*Halliwell Manor*
"You guys, where's Sakura?" asked Tomoyo.
Everybody froze.
"Kero, Lang, come here!" called Rika.
Kero came down. "Lang's not here, what's up?"
"Sakura's gone."
"Mistress, gone?"
"Oh god, what if Lothor." Tomoyo left off.
Everybody had fearful looks on their faces.
Then Yelan spoke up. "From what I've seen, Lang is extremely protective of Sakura, maybe he followed her. He also seems very strong and capable, I'm sure that both he and Sakura are safe and sound."
"But where would Sakura possibly go?" asked Fuutie.
"I think I know!" exclaimed Sheifa.
Everybody turned his or her attention toward her.
"Don't you remember?" she asked her mother and sisters. "Sakura went
to find Oto-to!"
They all gasped. Yelan spoke. "That's right, but she would be back,
wouldn't she?"
"Not necessarily!" exclaimed Tomoyo. "We think Sakura and Syaoran have a crush on each other! Maybe they eloped! How romantic."
"Oh really?" Yelan was pleased. "Well, let's check, it's worth a try
after all." Yelan led the way.
"The Chinese gaki better not have hurt Sakura!" shouted Kero as they
headed out the door.
*Li Mansion*
"Kawaii." Whispered seven women.
"Don't wake them up." Whispered Yelan. She walked over to her son and
Sakura.
Sakura and Syaoran were sitting on the floor, with their homework around them, sleeping. Sakura's head was placed on top of Syaoran's, with a smile placed on her lips. Syaoran's head was lightly placed on top of Sakura's. His arm was protectively placed around Sakura's waist, and even he had a smile on his lips.
"Now I don't think I want to take her home." Tomoyo thought aloud.
Then, Lang came down the stairs. He had a large comforter on his back, and was holding onto two pillows with his mouth.
"So you did stick by Sakura, good boy!"
"He's a guardian, Rika, not a dog." Corrected Tomoyo.
"Yeah, well, Sakura'd feel more comfortable in her own bed, I think."
Rika badly countered.
"Hold on, just let me get a little footage, I'll call it a step toward babies! No, how bout, the kawaii relationship's beginnings."
So Tomoyo got a few minutes worth of footage. After that, Leon orbed Sakura and her stuff to her room. When they had left Kero decided it was time for payback, no one held on to his mistress, especially not a Chinese gaki.
"WAKE UP CHINESE GAKI!" Kero shouted at the top of his lungs.
Syaoran jumped up with a scowl.
"KERO!!" everybody shouted. But of course, Tomoyo shouted the loudest.
"YOU ARE SO LUCKY THAT I GOT THE KAWAII-EST MOMENT EVER ON TAPE, IF I HADN'T YOU WOULD BE SO DEAD, YOU WOULDN'T EVEN REALIZE IT!" she yelled
Everybody fell down anime style. Leon returned just when everybody had
gotten up.
"Ara, I guess you don't need me to orb Li-san to his bed then."
"No, but you can orb us all home, I'm done in."
"Kitto (definitely)."
"Sa minna-san." Said Tomoyo, Rika, Eriol, and Kero.
"Sa minna-san." Repeated Yelan, Fuutie, Fanren, Feimei, and Sheifa.
"Sa." Spoke Syaoran.
Everybody looked at him.
"Nani (what)?" he asked, annoyed.
"Nandemonai (nothing @ all)." They lied.
The Charmed gang and Kero orbed out.
*Yelan's room*
"I think it's happening again, Elders."
"What makes you think that?" asked a man.
"Well Ling, he doesn't seem to be as impassive. He actually said
goodbye, and."
"And?" asked another.
"And, Xiao Ming, the Cherry Blossom had went to find Syaoran, and hadn't returned. We all were worried, but checked here. We found them, and they had fallen asleep in quite a cozy position. One of the Kinomoto's actually taped it."
"Are you positive that he is falling in love?" asked a man with a deep
voice.
"Ming, I have never been so sure of anything more. There's just one thing though, he hasn't admitted it to himself. It's plausible that he doesn't even realize that it's love."
"He hasn't done that yet?" asked a voice that would make someone
flinch.
"No, Ping, he's never experienced love, not really. But it won't take
long until he realizes it."
"Have you found out if Syaoran's Ying Fa is the one in the prophecy? If so, how does has she have so much power?" asked a very wise voice.
"Hai, I have, Long. She's a Charmed One, and-"
"A Charmed One?" exclaimed Ming.
"And...?" asked Long.
"Believe it or not, Ying Fa happens to be the Card Mistress."
"The Card Mistress?" all five exclaimed.
"Yes. She's probably the strongest Charmed One; she has quite a few powers. And her sorcery, it's amazing. She's only 16, and yet she has transformed all the Clow Cards into Star Cards, created some of her own Cards, created her own guardian, and she is Fujitaka's daughter, who is the half reincarnation of Clow Reed."
"Is she in danger?" asked Xiao Ming.
"I'm afraid so." Answered Yelan.
"How?" asked Ping
"There's a demon called Lothor. He's looking for the purest human heart to give him unlimited power. According to the prophecy we know about, Ying Fa's heart should be the one to give him just that. I do have good news. They're making a spell to protect innocents' hearts', and by putting a single rose in the potion, everything decent and good in this world will be protected."
"Good. Report as soon as possible."
"As you wish."
*12:00 am*
"Yahoo! Ohayo gozaimasu!" Shouted Sakura.
"Why are you so happy?" asked Tomoyo.
"Obviously kajuu's had her morning snack of kajuu pills."
"First of all, Sakura's no kajuu! Second of all, that was totally lame."
"Have to agree with her there." Spoke Rika.
"Me too, it was lame." Agreed Tomoyo.
"Blah blah."
"Why are you so happy, Sakura?" asked Rika.
"Because of the demon, school's closed!!"
Tomoyo laughed. "That's right. So then I wonder if vanquishing the demon and not fixing up the classroom was personal gain?"
Both Touya and Rika attempted to figure it out. Sakura spoke up instead. "Lang and I are gonna go jogging, okay?"
"Sure, demo (but), can you take a look at the TV first?"
"Sure." agreed Sakura hesitantly.
Sakura checked the TV she blushed an implausible red. There, paused on the screen, was a picture of herself and Syaoran. Sakura stood frozen to the spot, unable to move. When she finally snapped out of her own planet, she could barely speak. "I-I, come on Lang!" she stuttered, and ran out the door, Lang at her heels.
"Kami-sama! That was embarrassing, ne?" Sakura exclaimed after she was outside.
"Woof!" replied Lang.
Sakura giggled. "Yeah, well let's go. We'll just run around the block. Hope we don't run into Syao-kun, I'll turn red!"
*2 hours later*
Sakura and Lang suddenly stopped in their tracks. Lothor was right in front of them, looking especially mean today. It didn't bother Sakura, she just joked.
"Looks like somebody woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning. Or maybe we had a little accident? In any case, you kept your promise. I didn't think you had that good of a memory."
"Can I mistake your sarcasm for fear?"
"You'd better not, you'd get your butt kicked if you would."
"I highly doubt that. It's not my wish."
"So?" Sakura asked, becoming undeniably bored.
"All my wishes come true."
"Not anymore, I created the wish card. "Key that hides the power of the stars, she your true form to me. I, Sakura, command you under our contract, RELEASE! Fly, give me wings, release! Dash, give me speed in flying, release! Sword, I need your power, release!"
Wings on her back, Sakura dashed over to Lothor. With her fast speed, Lothor hadn't had a second to react before he was on the ground, oozing out blue blood.
Sakura then went straight up to the sky, as far as she could possibly go. She needed to formulate a plan, quick. Then she heard from down below: "Element Lighting, come to my aide!" She knew Syaoran was down there fighting Lothor by himself. Then she came up with an idea. "Leon!" she called.
Leon appeared beside, her, in the air. He just realized where he had appeared, when Sakura caught him.
"Lothor's down there. Go get Tomoyo and Rika. Tell them to get a vial filled with dye and water, and write a verse or two of a spell we've used in the past to vanquish, okay?"
"Right." He orbed away.
Now Sakura had to help Syaoran, and pray that her sisters would soon come. She flew down and cut Lothor again. She stood beside Syaoran, who both were in a fighting stance.
"I'll get you for that!" said Lothor.
Just then, Leon appeared with both Tomoyo and Rika, who were carrying a vial of blue stuff and a piece of paper.
Sakura froze Lothor. "Create, put the CCS POT* symbol on the ground, release!" Create did as told, then turned back into his card form. "Give me the potion." Sakura ordered. Tomoyo obeyed.
Sakura unfroze Lothor and threw the potion at him. "Let's say the spell!" exclaimed Sakura to Tomoyo, Rika, and Syaoran.
"*Demon made from darkness all."
"Kuso! I'll get you next time!" he shimmered out.
Sakura smiled. 'I'm one superb trickster. Go me!'
"Okay Sakura, what was with the dyed water and fake spell, is that his weakness?"
Syaoran was dumbfounded. "And you think Sakura's naïve? Lothor obviously thought you had found a potion and spell to vanquish him."
"Aa (yes)! And Syaoran helped because he's not a Charmed One."
"That was brilliant, Sakura!" complimented Rika.
"Arigato!" thanked Sakura. Then she remembered the tape and blushed.
Leon, Tomoyo, and Rika started to laugh, leaving Syaoran totally and completely confused. He looked at both the blushing Sakura and bunch of laughing people he had now dubbed 'weirdo' and sighed.
"What's so funny!?" he asked, unnerved.
"Nandemonai! Come on race ya! Then we can get some ice cream!"
Syaoran nodded his head. "Agreed!" he agreed. They started off.
After a little while, Syaoran, amazed with Sakura's speed, tried to pick up his pace, with no avail. They were tied. They ran for a couple miles, then, seeing they weren't getting anywhere, gave up.
"Wow, no one has ever been able to keep up with me, with or without the Dash."
"Me neither. Of course, some people tied with me for a little while, but eventually."
"I get it. Ya want ice cream now? It's right across the street. It'll be my treat. Think of it as my 'Welcome to the neighborhood' gift."
Syaoran gave Sakura a slight smile. "Sure."
So they walked over to the ice cream shop. "What do you want, Syaoran?"
"Ano, I'll have the Chocolate Storm."
"Okay. I'll have 2 chocolate storms and 1 Brownie Earthquake."
"Coming right up. That'll be 100 yen." (A/n: Is that a lot? I don't know Japanese currency to American.)
"Hai (yes.)" Sakura handed of her money, then gave Syaoran his ice cream while she headed over to an empty table, Lang at her heels. (A/n: just to make it clear, they're eating outside.)
Syaoran sat down, Sakura across from him. Lang sat down beside Sakura. Sakura then gave Lang his ice cream. He started licking it, and pure enjoyment was written all over his furry face.
"You sure you should be feeding him that?"
"Oh, don't worry, Lang can eat according to his needs, and well, basically he can eat anything he desires. And besides, Lang is a wolf, not a dog."
"Ha ha, I'm laughing hysterically."
Sakura gave Syaoran a bright smile. "I know, you didn't have to announce it."
"Sakura? Why were they all laughing back there?"
Sakura blushed. "Ano. Well, ya see. Well, it just happened. Last night, we fell asleep next to each other and we were in a.very couple-ish looking position."
"So that's what Tomoyo meant by the Kawaii-est moment ever."
"Uh-huh."
"Hey Sakura, I've decided to help you with your Lothor problem. You mentioned Mandrake Root, when is it coming?"
Sakura opened her mouth to reply, when she was interrupted.
"Ohayo Sakura-chan." Said an unknown voice.
"Ohayo. Oh and by the way, it's Kinomoto-san to you, Moto-san." Answered Sakura. Then she turned to Syaoran. "Let's go Syaoran."
Moto looked over at Syaoran and spoke, jealousy filling his voice. "Who's this?"
"Li Syaoran desu." Answered Syaoran, his own voice filled with cruelty.
"Moto Miroku desu."
"Now that we're through with introductions, let's go Syaoran, Lang."
Before Sakura could walk away, Miroku grabbed her arm. "Aren't you going to come with me?"
"Iie now let go."
"Oh come on Sakura, I don't bite."
"I heard otherwise, now let go!"
Syaoran was just about to step in, when Lang growled fiercely.
"When did you get a dog?" Miroku asked, fear extremely evident in his voice.
"Yesterday. He's a stray, and he seems to like women only, except for Syaoran that is. We haven't tried him with strangers yet, and I think he'd do anything to protect me, might wanna watch out. He's small, but strong."
As if on cue, Lang growled devilishly. "Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr woof, woof!!"
"Now let's go." She turned and walked off, Syaoran and Lang following closely.
Miroku watched them walk off, a scowl on his face. (A/n: not Syaoran's kawaii scowl!)
*At the Manor*
"Minna-san, we're home!" called Sakura
"Finally, we were beginning to think that you two had eloped or something." Spoke up Tomoyo.
Syaoran and Sakura blushed a red pepper red.
"Who eloped?" asked Touya, who had just came downstairs.
"Sakura and Syaoran." Answered Rika.
"NANI? YOU'D BETTER GET A DIVORCE PRONTO! I WON'T HAVE SOME CHINESE GAKI TAKE THE KAJUU AWAY, IT JUST WON'T HAPPEN. DO YA HEAR ME, IT JUST WON'T EVER, EVER, EVER, EVER HAPPEN!!!"
"Tomoyo's just joking, Onii-chan."
"No she's not!" argued Rika.
"Ahh, so my cute little descendent married my half daughter, who knew that would happen?" spoke up Eriol.
He had to have started it up.didn't he?
"Don't call me that!"
"Don't call you what my cute lil' descendant?"
"Don't call me your cute little descendent, successor."
"Why, my cute little descendent?"
"Never mind." Answered Syaoran, defeated.
Sakura giggled. "You two are really funny, do you know that. They should make a show where all you do is insult each other. I'd watch it."
Unknown to Sakura, Touya was sneaking behind her. "BOO!" he shouted.
"HOE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! A Ghost!!!!!!" Sakura ran behind Syaoran and grabbed him tightly. "Kill it Syaoran, kill it!!"
"Ah ha, I scared you!" shouted Touya.
Sakura then realized what he had done. "Touya!"
"Boo." He replied.
By that time, Sakura wasn't feeling happy, quite the opposite, actually. "Kinomoto Touya!" she froze him. "Fixy, release and dispel!" she dressed Touya in a pink tutu. Then she orbed him in the middle of a crowded street. She whispered something, and then orbed on top of a roof, with a bag of popcorn in her hand.
She unfroze everybody, and Touya was standing there, with everybody staring. He was so red; he looked like her was going to explode. Sakura she grabbed some more popcorn and jammed it in her mouth.
After about 10 minutes, she froze everybody, including Touya, who had only his head unfrozen.
"Why, how are you Touya? Have a nice ballet class?" she circled him a few times, as if inspecting him. "I really would have changed into regular clothes before going out, though. Aren't you embarrassed?" she stopped in front of him, arms crossed and shaking her head. "Really Touya, where is your pride?" she clucked her tongue a few times. "How do you feel?" she asked, faking sincerity.
"Sakura." He spoke, in a warning voice.
She chuckled a little. "Touya, you obviously don't know me well at all. Would I really do this?" she paused, waiting for an answer. When none came, she continued. "I used illusion so that you appeared to be Moto Miroku. It really was to my benefit. I almost gave you a heart attack, and totally embarrassed Moto-san! Today is good!" she gave a slight giggle, than got to work.
She moved Touya a good many feet to the right, called back illusion, put Touya back in his own clothes, and orbed back on the roof, where she unfroze everybody.
Suddenly, the earth started shaking, Sakura had to fight to keep her balance. That's when she noticed a gigantic demon out to destroy. He was at lease 45 ft tall.
"Leon!" she called. Sakura jumped off the roof. "Oh key that hides the power of the stars, show you true form before me. I, Sakura, command you under our contract. RELEASE! Little, make this demon 1 ft tall, release!"
Just then, Leon appeared with Syaoran.
"Where are Tomoyo and Rika?" Sakura asked.
"Another demon attacked, I brought Syaoran." He answered.
"Okay, I have him shrunk, so all we need to do is say a spell. Hopefully it'll take two to tango."
The demon, which still had powers, fired a small energy ball at Sakura. Syaoran reflected in with his sword.
"Arigato."
"Sure."
"Okay, just repeat after me."
"Right."
"*Demon made now so small." Sakura chanted
"Demon made now so small." They spoke together.
"With the power of two feel the pain of all."
"With the power of two feel the pain of all."
"Now you're gone as I say."
"Now you're gone as I say."
"And everything will be okay."
"And everything will be okay."
The demon made a horrible screeching noise, and slowly, slowly, still very slowly, burned to his death. The only thing that marked his existence was a small pile of ash, which soon blew away.
"That's the best spell you could use?" asked Syaoran.
"My muse is out to lunch, what can I say?" she answered.
"Tomoyo and Rika are calling me." He orbed out than orbed back, this time with Sakura's sisters.
"What's with all the demons?" asked Tomoyo.
"I don't know, I'll ask the Elders."
"Good. Hey! Maybe today's a demon free for all! They all come out and party."
Everybody but Syaoran and Leon were skeptic. Leon, after nodding at the idea, orbed out.
"A demon free for all?"
"Yeah!" Sakura said defensively.
"Give Sakura some credit, she deserves that at least." Defended Syaoran.
Everybody but Sakura looked at him with amazement. Sakura she gave him her 100-watt smile.
"Arigato gozaimasu!"
Leon came back. He smiled at Sakura. "Guess what." He spoke.
"What?" everybody asked.
"Sakura was almost right. Today, lower level demons kill or capture as many people and witches, fairies, etc to become of a higher rank. It was practiced centuries ago, but was eventually stopped. According to the grapevine somebody brought it back. Oh and-" (A/n: how do ya like the grapevine? It's the synonym for apparently.)
"Really? Sakura was right?" asked Touya.
"Hai." He answered.
"That's amazing." Spoke Rika.
"Hey!" Sakura shouted.
"It's true!" everybody except Leon and Syaoran said.
"Syaoran, help me!" she pleaded.
He answered her wishes. "I don't know why you're so surprised. Sakura has been practicing magic long before you all. She's an expert, and knows tons more than you do. Especially you." He nodded toward Touya.
"Why you!" he exclaimed getting really mad.
Sakura stepped in between Touya and Syaoran, hoping to stop a death. "Touya, don't!" she turned and walked up to Syaoran. She hugged him and don't him thank you. He replied that she was welcome. She smiled. "Weren't you going to say something else, Leon?" Sakura asked.
"Hai. The demons are mostly after magical people, but a demon can be raised by several ranks if they capture Sakura."
"Why so much on me?"
Leon and Touya looked at Syaoran. It was their way of asking. 'Should I tell them, or should you?'
"I'll tell them." Spoke Syaoran.
"Tell what? Why am I so important?"
Syaoran answered her. "The demon that was at school, do you remember what he said?"
"Sou (yeah). There will be a woman born of the most powerful magic. The Cherry Blossom will melt the Little Wolf's heart, in turn, they'll fall in love and their power will be unstoppable."
"Hai. Both Lothor and I think you're the Cherry Blossom in the prophecy. Lothor is after you more than anybody, because it sounds like in the prophecy that the Wolf has a stone heart. To melt a stone heart, you have to have a heart of gold. You have to be careful."
A light bulb went up in Touya's head. He turned as read as can be and he was obviously mad. "ARE YOU SAYING THAT MY SISTER'S SUPPOSED TO FALL IN LOVE WITH YOU!!" Touya wasn't pleased.
"Nani?" Syaoran was slightly confused. (A/n: Syaoran's not naïve, he was just so worried about Sakura that he forgot about the wolf part of the prophecy.)
"LITTLE WOLF, THAT'S WHAT YOUR NAME MEANS, DOESN'T IT!?"
Realization dawned on him. "Hai." He answered.
Tomoyo had stars in her eyes. "So Sakura and Syaoran are going to fall in love? How kawaii!"
"I guess." Answered Leon.
"KAWAII!" they shouted.
"Uh-oh." Spoke Sakura.
She started backing up, Syaoran right behind her. They both knew what was coming. They backed away more, but Tomoyo and Rika just came closer. When Sakura felt her back hit a wall, she orbed herself and Syaoran out of there.
*Starlight Park*
"That was scary." Spoke Sakura once they were at the park. She sat on a swing and started pumping her legs back and forth, trying to get the swing going.
She sighed and turned to Syaoran who was sitting on the merry-go-round. Syaoran had his eyes closed. "Tricky thing about prophecies, they don't tell you everything." Syaoran opened his eyes. What had Sakura said?
"What do you mean?" he asked.
"How many Sakura and Syaoran's do you think there are? Tons. More so, how many people do you think have a name that means Cherry Blossom and Little Wolf? Besides, I know that you don't exactly like the idea of being forced to marry or anything."
His face softened. "Arigato gozaimasu (Thanx very much)."
"Doi tashi mashite (you're welcome)."
Syaoran smiled and Sakura blushed. Soon she collected herself and smiled back.
"How long should we stay here?" asked Syaoran.
"I don't know."
"That's not good."
"Chigau" she argued.
"Honto?"
"Hai."
"Dousta?"
"Tonight's a full moon. Starlight Rock has a perfect view."
"So you wanna go there?"
"Hai. Are you coming?"
"Why not, may as well do something with my time."
They slowly walked towards the spot Sakura had indicated. There was a bench a few feet fron the edge of the cliff. Sakura sat down on the bench. The wind blew her hair in her face and she instinctively brushed it away. Syaoran joined her. And spoke up.
"It's 4:00, what are we going to do till night?"
"Hmm.Well I was thinking, since I'm not that good with elemental magic, you could help me."
"Sure."
"Great!"
Then, Lang showed up.
"I was wondering when you'd come. I'm gonna practice my magic!"
Lang sat down beside his mistress to watch.
*8:00*
"Yatta! I've finally got it!" Sakura had exclaimed.
Even though Sakura could use elemental magic, she couldn't control it to the point where she could fill a tiny whole with water, or light a candle, or even make a small breeze. Yue and Kero were going to teach her that next.
"Aa. It took longer for you to control Earth and Fire, but I think you're a natural for moon magic."
"Hai, it didn't take me nearly as long to control."
Just then, Syaoran's stomach growled loudly. He, in turn, turned 53 different shades of red. Sakura laughed.
"Move, bring some food from home!" (A/n: I know that Move can only move light things small distances, but the more powerful Sakura becomes, so do the cards.)
When Move had done its job, there was a big dinner of fried rice, Soba, Udon, Sukiyaki, Tempura, Sushi, Kaiseki Ryori, Yakitori, Tonkatsu, and Shabu-shabu.
Sakura giggled. "Well, I know Syaoran's hungry enough to eat most of this."
He blushed. "Honestly, I don't know. We'll just have to see, won't we?"
"Hai." Sakura served Syaoran and then Lang, and finally, herself. "Cheers." She said.
They all started eating and were on their second helping.
"I like your Kaa-san, Syaoran, she's really nice."
"I wouldn't really know."
Sakura stopped eating. "Dousta?" she asked.
"I was always too busy training. I never had enough time for friends or stuff like that. I trained most of my life away. When I wasn't doing schoolwork, I was training. That's just how it was."
"Oh. So that's why you're mean to people."
"I guess so."
Sakura gave him a smile and picked up a chopstick. But instead of putting it in her own mouth, she shoved it in Syaoran's and laughed.
Lang put his plate under his nose and flung it up in the air. His food landed on both Sakura and Syaoran. They both laughed. "Nobody can call you a chicken, Syaoran, you're a fish!"
Just then, Leon orbed in. "Another demon."
Sakura groaned. "Okay. Fixy, put Syaoran and I in battle costumes!" On command, Fixy came out of its card form. It snapped it's fingers, and Cherry Blossoms surrounded both Sakura and Syaoran. When the tornado was done, Syaoran was in his usual ceremonial robe.
When Sakura appeared out of the tornado, she was wearing one of Tomoyo's creations that hadn't been made yet. (A/n: see if you can picture it, I think it looks cool.)
It looked sort of like Meiling's out fit. (A/n: even if she isn't in here yet) The red part of her out fit is the only thing there. The parts that are red are instead pink. Instead of being yellow/orange, it's green. A cherry blossom replaces the yin yang of Meiling's out fit. Now the outfit does have the long sleeves, but they do not set on the shoulders. Instead, they reveal them. She has a pink choker on, that has a star pendant hanging off of it. (A/n: picture the necklace from the 2nd movie, you know the one with her princess outfit?) She has her hair in the traditional style, with pink scrunchies.
"Oh key that hides the power of the stars, show your true form to me. I, Sakura, command you under out contract.RELEASE!!"
"Sources of light with ancient spin send forth the magic power within. Oracles of gold, wind, water, and electricity, Force, know my plight, release the light!" (A/n: is that the rite incantation?)
"Let's go!" shouted Sakura. She grabbed Syaoran's hand, and grabbed Lang's paw.
'She's beautiful.' Thought Syaoran right before they orbed out.
*In town*
"Thank goodness you're here!" exclaimed Rika. "The demon isn't a strong one, but he brought thousands of his friends." She led them to where Tomoyo was throwing fireballs at the demons. Sakura froze all the demons, Firey, attack!"
"God of Fire, come forth!" called Syaoran. It only weakened the still frozen demons.
Everybody was amazed.
'Think of a spell.' Sakura thought to herself.
"Okay, repeat after me." She ordered her sisters.
"*Demons in a bunch leave this place, so that I won't have to see your ugly face. Go away, to never return, with element fire, you shall burn."
Firey and Syaoran's magic attacked again, and this time the demons screeched. They soon disappeared. Fixy, clean the town up. Erase, remove the townspeople's memories!" The cards did their job and turned back to their card form.
"Well, Leon and I have a date, so bye." She and Leon orbed out.
"I do too, Sakura, do you mind?" asked Tomoyo.
"Not at all." She took Tomoyo to Eriol's than returned to town.
"Wanna go to my house?" she asked Syaoran.
"Hai!" answered Kero.
"I didn't ask you."
"Sure."
So Sakura orbed herself, Syaoran, Lang, and Kero home.
*Halliwell Manor*
When Syaoran, Sakura, Kero, and Lang looked around the Manor, they were amazed. The whole place was trashed; nothing was where it should have been.
"Oh Kami!" exclaimed Sakura. "Kero, check to see if the Star book is still here, I have the cards, datte (but still). And Lang, can you check upstairs to see if the Book of Shadows is okay?"
Both guardians nodded.
"Okay to see if anything was stolen just say this spell in a desired room.
"A stranger was here not long ago, Whether small or big of woe, His evil deeds I need to know, Show me if anything was taken by my foe."
"Got it."
A good 10 or 15 minutes had passed when Sakura and Syaoran met again in the hallway.
"Anything stolen?" he asked.
"Iie." She answered. "Maybe Kero or Lang found something."
Just then Kero came down with the Star book in his hand.
"The book was opened, but like you said, you have the cards. Nothing was taken. Maybe Lang found something."
"Right. Lang, did you find anything?" no answer. "Lang!" still no answer. "Lang, Lang!" Lang didn't answer the call. "Lang." She whispered. She orbed upstairs. Kero flew up after her, and Syaoran after him.
When they reached the attic, Sakura was on her knees, crying. Lang lay there, badly injured.
"Say a spell, Sakura." Ordered Kero politely.
Sakura choked on her tears before replying. "I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't think."
Syaoran went over to comfort her. "Just concentrate, take a deep breath."
Sakura did as told. "Let's.*hiccup*.see." she took a deep breath. "*Guardian loved and new, with my magic I heal you, be as you were created, and keep out love from being faded."
Lang was surrounded by a pink aura, and then opened his eyes. Sakura squealed, and hugged Lang tightly. He licked her face reassuringly, and then turned to the opposite wall, only to growl.
On the wall, painted with blood red paint, was a message it read:
So you stupid mages really have found a spell,
Well I'll destroy you so you can't tell,
I'll kill the eldest and then the middle,
Why Mistress, don't you like my riddle,
You're lucky I didn't find it here,
If I had you wouldn't be able to appear,
Even to the place where your soul shall sleep,
Give it to me now; you're in the water to deep!
"No, Kami."
