Last Chapter

Sakura, realizing that she's the only one who doesn't have received her powers yet, turns to Kaho and innocently asks, "What will be my power, Kaho-san?" she says this with hope in her emerald pools.

Kaho smiles at her and touches her right shoulder and says in a reassuring tone, "Believe me, Sakura-chan, your powers are more special." She then turns to pick up the very last aura element in her left hand and turns to Sakura.

"Hoe?"

Chapter 3: Reflecting

"Come here, Sakura-chan," Kaho politely orders, and Sakura walks towards her quietly, her footsteps only to be heard. The other four turns their full attention to her, as they stop their bickering and chatting. "Are you ready?"

The auburn haired girl looks at her and then nods. Kaho smiles and chants, "I, Mitzuki Kaho, hereby entrusts you, Kinomoto Sakura, with the power of Light, use it for good; not evil, use it to help others in need, and to use it to protect the fortress of Deimos, do you agree?"

Sakura bows her head slightly and nods, "Yes, I do agree." Kaho then picks up the very last special aura elements and presses it to Sakura's soft forehead, making it pass through transparently. After a while, Sakura looks up and asks, "Is it over?"

Kaho nods, "Yes, it is, Sakura-chan. Now test your powers." She leads Sakura to an open space in the middle of the room. "Now, Sakura-chan, I want you to turn off the lights without switching the switch." She explains and Sakura nods. "Good, begin."

The innocent girl looks up and focuses her mind to one thing, and then waves her right hand to the air, and then, when she puts it down slowly, the light turns off quietly. Then she raises her left hand to the air and then the lights turns on again.

"Kawaii!" Tomoyo shrieks again, putting out her camera and starts to film Sakura. "I have to get this on tape! I'll call it, Sakura's Magical Moment!" Everyone sweatdrops again and Sakura turns to Tomoyo-chan and gives her the 'peace' sign.

"Very good, everyone," Kaho congratulates them. "You have now received your appointed powers. And Sakura-chan." Sakura walks beside her, and Kaho then picks up the Silver pendant and puts it in Sakura's hands. "Sakura-chan, I trust you to be the leader of your group, and to be the Keeper of the Crystal Heart. The Crystal Heart is the pendant that transports you to go to the Councils of Deimos and to Clow Reed. It also holds the spirit of Yuan Xin. I trust you, okay?"

Sakura nods, confused, but she brushes it off. "S-sure…"

Kaho stretches her arms and puts it on her hips and says in a cheerful tone, "I'm very glad that it is over with! Now I don't have anything to worry about!" then she picks up five pieces of papers and gives it to the new guardians. "Here are your passes."

"Arigato, Kaho-san!" The five says back in a chorus and picks up their backpacks. But before the leave, Kaho then calls,

"Wait, minna-san!" Kaho calls then runs towards them. "I have forgotten to tell you. I still haven't told you the rest of your powers. With that, please go to my library beside my house about 4:30 PM and we'll do your training. Okay?"

The five smiles and says, "Yogai!" then walks out the classroom and heads off to their 3rd period of class, leaving a smiling Kaho.

- Clow Reed, these five guardians will please you well – Kaho thinks as she looks to the window to the sapphire sky. – They will become the greatest guardians there is -

XXX At Lunch… XXX

The five best friends, Sakura, Meiling, Naoko, Meiling and Tomoyo walks to their usual lunch spot, which is the most beautiful Cherry Blossom Tree in a bit far place away from the basketball court, making it an interesting view around Tomoeda High. Of course, when they eat their lunch, they usually talk about the latest fashion, boys, and school. But this time it's way different. Far from those things they previously talked about.

"Isn't this cool?" Meiling cries, sitting on top of the emerald grass and then the group starts to cross their legs Indian style. "We have MAGIC!" then she spots a puddle of water a bit far away and their mortal enemy and their gang, Koji. "Watch girls!"

The Chinese teenager points her index finger to the puddle and then to Koji, making the water magically splash to his dark brown hair, making it a total mess. The five girls giggle in laughter, seeing the water made Koji's hair in chaos.

"Hey! Who did that?" They hear Koji yell at nobody at all, and every student starts to stare at him. Even his gang starts to laugh at his hair. "Stop laughing, guys!"

"Nice move, Meiling!" Chiharu compliments with a grin and starts to eat her dumplings with her red chopsticks. "You totally taught him a lesson!" then she turns to Koji again and sees him playing with fire and she senses he's planning to burn something. She turns to his gaze and she realizes he's planning to burn the grass. "Look! Koji is planning to burn the grass!"

This got Naoko's attention and turns her dark eyes towards their rival and furrows her eyebrows, "Oh no he won't!" she warns and raises her right hand and targets it to him, "I won't let him! Unless he's getting burned first!" she commands the fire secretly to burn Koji's hand a LITTLE.

"Ow!" Koji yells, letting go of the match and starts to blow the fire away from his fingertips. "What in the hell is going on around here?" he asks to no one in particular. He looks to his right side and sees the five girls giggling from a distance. "Hmm… something's fishy…"

"Aren't you a little harsh, Naoko-chan?" Sakura asks with a worried look. "I mean, not that I care, but you should have let the fire down than let his fingertips get a taste of the fire."

Naoko adjusts her glasses to her nose and grins. "You are too nice, Sakura-chan! It's just that he'll learn his lesson not to play with fire again." After she says this, she bites a mouthful of her cheese sandwich. "You know what, girls? I kind of like this magic thing."

"I agree," Tomoyo responds, nodding. "It's as if I can feel a great adventure is waiting for us." Then she sighs and takes some of her biscuits. "Us, being guardians of Deimos, having powers… it's kinda… um… exciting! And I like the fact that we possess one element power!"

"Yeah," Chiharu responds, too. "At first, I thought it was stupid. I thought that it's foolish to have magic because I believed that 'magic' is not true, just a word the older people tell us. Now, I know that's not true! After I saw Tomoyo's test of her powers, it came to me and I was like, WOW!"

"I agree with you!" Meiling butts in, grinning. "Now, I can take long bath tubs in my cozy bathroom without getting my fingers numb!" the five giggles until Meiling breaks in, "Hey, guys, you want to come with me to Cobalt Blue's concert next week?"

"Cobalt Blue?" Sakura asks thoughtfully. "Hm… isn't that the famous boy band everyone loves right now?" Meiling nods with a grin. "Um… I don't know!"

"Oh, c'mon, Sakura-chan!" Meiling insists, a twinkle in her ruby eyes appearing as she continues on, "Everyone's going! And don't you want to see my precious cousin playing?"

Sakura blushes crimson and asks stiffly, "You mean… S-Syaoran?" the other giggles at her round and red face.

"I didn't know that Syaoran is playing with the Cobalt Blue," Tomoyo asks the Chinese girl as she bites on another biscuit. "Why didn't you tell us? Anyways, what instrument he's playing?"

"The electronic guitar," Meiling replies with a proud grin. "C'mon, Sakura-chan! I know you have a crush with my cousin!" with this, Sakura blushes more. "Besides, he keeps bugging me if Sakura will come to their concert!"

Sakura looks up and asks excitedly, "H-he did?" Meiling nods. "Um… if he really wants to… then I," she stammers, blushing and starts to joint her fingers

"Correction!" Chiharu interrupts, flipping her right pigtail, and starts to grin like crazy. She swallows her food and says as everyone turns to her, "It's not what 'he wants', Sakura-chan! It's what 'you want'!"

Naoko giggles as she agrees, "She has a point. Don't worry, Sakura-chan! We'll all go." She points to Chiharu, Tomoyo and Meiling and herself. "Meiling, Chiharu, Tomoyo and I will go."

"I can't, guys," Tomoyo says with a faint smile. Everyone turns to her with a shocked face, especially Meiling, since she is a great fan of Cobalt Blue, especially the one who plays the piano, Keisuke.

"Why can't you go?" Meiling shrieks and starts to lean over the anxious Tomoyo. "Cobalt Blue only concerts Tomoeda once in a while only! You don't want to ruin this once in a lifetime, don't you? You have to go!"

A sweatdrop appears in Tomoyo's head as she reasons, "Gomenasai, Meiling! But I have to help my mother with her business in the 'Daidouji Toys'! Gomen!" she bows down politely with a nervous look on her face.

"Then, only four of us will go?" Chiharu asks thoughtfully.

"Um… I'm not pretty sure myself, too, guys," Sakura says with an innocent smile. The three turns to her with another shocked face. "Wait! Chill! Before you go berserk again, I have to ask my otou-san about this! Okay?"

A sigh of relief escapes Naoko's, Chiharu's and Meiling's lips as they continue their chattering and arguments, until the bell finally rings and they respectively goes off to their afternoon classes.

XXX 4:25 PM XXX

The four girls look at their watches as the time ticks to 4:25 in the afternoon. The sun is slowly drifting down, while the Tomoeda Students goes off to their respected homes.

"Where is Meiling?" Chiharu cries looking everywhere as she starts to pout, and then, everyone agrees. "We told her that we'd meet up right here at the exact time of 4:10! Where is she?"

"Are you looking for me?" a cute and familiar voice with a tint of nervousness calls behind the girls, making them turn around to see a nervous Chinese girl with the exact long jet-black hair tied to two buns and ruby eyes… she looks like Meiling! The other four glares at her angrily, while the Chinese girl backs away. "Um… Nihao?"

"MEILING!"

XXX Somewhere else… at the Deimos Lair XXX

A man in the middle 30s, who has navy blue hair and sapphire indigo eyes, looks at the large crystal ball that shows the new five guardians walking and arguing as they walk towards the library of his faithful servant, Kaho.

"Is this five the new guardians, Clow Reed?" a girl with long maroon hair and maroon eyes asks, who is wearing a long red silky robe up to her knees as the clouds beneath and above them continues to laze away. This is a magical place after all.

"Yes, Ruby Moon," Clow Reed replies as he smiles. "Brave, courageous, determined girls. They will do their jobs well." He looks to his side as he sees Spinel Sun (is that the right spelling?) snoring away.

Ruby Moon snorts as she looks away, "But they are just little girls!" she complains, crossing her arms in front of her. "I can even handle things all by myself! Why are you choosing them over me?"

Clow Reed smiles at this. "Do not underestimate them, Ruby Moon. They are much stronger than you think. I know that they will handle things well enough, because they do work together. Sportsmanship and teamwork is needed."

"Pathetic," Ruby Moon whines again, rolling her eyes. "What you need is the skills and the techniques! Friends and teamwork distracts you! Emotions are not needed, for they will let your guard down."

Clow Reed arches an eyebrow and turns to his servant, "Who taught you that?" he asks.

The girl shrugs and replies, sitting down in the majestic floor as she replies dully, "Who else?" she points to the sleeping Spinel Sun. "Him."

Clow Reed chuckles and turns to the five girls again. "Figures," he replies softly. He adds, "But Ruby Moon, didn't I told you that never ever listen to Spinel Sun when it comes to fighting? He has its own ways."

"I know," Ruby Moon answers back. "But to me, teamwork is useless. To be the strongest there is, you must focus everything to how much your fighting skills are, offense to defense. I will show them who's the boss!" she then looks and walks to the door.

Clow Reed sighs and turns to her. "I hope not, Ruby Moon." He says this softly as Ruby Moon walks away to her own chamber. "Because if you do, it will be the first sign of defeat."
